Chapter 46 Chapter 46 There is a
scratch on the slope caused by a human body sliding down.
Garp had followed William for more than a month in the previous brushing team. He looked carefully and said, "It is true. Then should we climb up and climb back?"
Oscar stood by and watched the reaction of Phyllus. Phyllus bent down and looked up for a while, and said, "No."
The traces on the slope were obviously caused by a fall. If it was a tactical retreat, the traces would be more regular vertical stripes, because the warriors would use actions to protect themselves, and the traces left would be consistent. Garp's actual combat skills are slightly poor, so it is normal that this point cannot be seen. It is estimated that the traces he left when he slid down this steep slope in a conscious state would be similar to this trace.
"The traces are too messy. We must have fallen down from above due to an accident," Oscar jumped over on one leg. "No one is looking for us now, which means that we and the main force were probably separated in an attack."
Cap shook his head.
Shano: "Some people——"
Cap glared at him, but did not say anything back.
Dorothy said: "Then we can't just climb up now. We have to prevent the enemy from finding us."
At this time, there was a rustling sound from above.
Everyone shut up and didn't move.
Faintly, they could hear the voice of conversation from above: "Someone... get out..." "Can't survive... over there..."
After the voice disappeared, the five people breathed a sigh of relief.
Felix looked at Oscar and said, "We have to go up there. If we don't go up there, we won't be able to find any clues about the main force."
Oscar looked at his broken leg, a little helpless, and said, "Let's give it a try."
Shanuo supported Oscar, and Felix walked in front, found a gentle slope, and climbed up from the gentle slope. .
They walked for about half an hour.
At first, they could still vaguely hear the enemy's voice, but after Felix repeatedly made "dodge" and "quiet" gestures in the front, they walked and stopped, and finally did not hear any sound, and the top of the slope was in sight.
Cap took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
His exhalation was a little loud. Dorothy looked at him and made a huffing gesture.
Phylus led them to hide quietly here for more than ten minutes. After making sure that there was really no one up there, he went up to check the situation. Not long after, he turned back and whispered to them in a low voice: "Come up, no one is hiding."
Cap was not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief.
The five people smiled at each other, and the other three sent Oscar, who had difficulty moving, up first, and Phylus pulled him up from above.
When they got up there, they found that this was a forest path, about three or four meters wide, with mud and weeds mixed together, and the road surface was as rough as a braid.
Several people came up one after another. Garp looked around and found several dead people lying face down on the road. He immediately felt uncomfortable.
Others also saw it and walked over together.
The clothes these people wore were the same as theirs. They should all be from the old four legions of the Empire. Several people were silent for a while, and then Shano Felus and Dorothy started to take their equipment at the same time.
- The clothes on the five of them were all tattered, not to mention other things.
I believe that the spirit of the senior in heaven will also understand.
Garp was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood and said to the three of them: "See if they have anything for communication!"
Maybe they were really lucky, because they found an old communicator. There were no hot weapons or anything like that, but two daggers and a damaged protective vest.
Garp was overjoyed when he saw the communicator.
"It still works! It's hundreds of years old."
"Can this help us contact the main force?" Oscar, who did not participate in the body search, asked Garp.
"Yes, the principle of this thing is to receive special frequency bands. As long as the frequency band for the troops to communicate is saved in it, it will be fine," Cap fiddled with the drum for a while, "If we can know the enemy's frequency band, we can also eavesdrop on their conversations."
"Zizi, zizi."
The communicator rang, but there was no useful information.
"Then let's follow the traces first." Falrus made a decision, "But there are both our people and enemies ahead, we have to be careful."
There were many traces on the muddy road, but they were also very clear.
Cap followed the team at the end this time. He checked the communicator and found no problem. It might be that the large unit changed the frequency band, or they were too far away and did not receive it.
As the team walked forward, Cap could still see from the footprints on the ground that two groups of people with different standard boots walked this road.
Thanks to Lindi, no large weapons are needed for this kind of road conditions. Even if it is a small mecha, it can only walk on this road to scare people. It is impossible to fight in actual combat. Otherwise, a laser will sweep over and the trees that are more than ten meters tall will fall down. It is hard to say whether it is a battle or chaos.
In the end, the war still returns to the people themselves.
But when he thought that there might be enemies ahead, Garp felt his scalp tingling.
The enemy followed behind the main force, and the enemy followed behind them.
Otherwise, they ran into the enemy's base camp before they found the main force and were caught.
This kind of feeling is really uncomfortable when they know that there are enemies ahead, but because of the time limit of the mission, they must find clues as soon as possible and face the danger. It
can be called psychological torture.
This state of silence and repression became more and more serious as the traces on the ground became more and more fresh and some faint sounds were heard.
But Felix, who was walking in the front, remained calm and composed.
Felix could feel the heavy pressure, as if it was actually pressing on his heart, but he couldn't panic.
Although Oscar and Dorothy are both sophomores, Dorothy is a doctor, Oscar has a broken leg and can hardly support the team, and Shano is not good at tracking and decision-making. He is a typical combat student. Although Garp has learned some, he is not mentally mature enough and has low stress resistance. It is difficult for him not to make mistakes under high pressure.
Phyllus finally made a "stop" gesture.
At this moment, they were near the enemy camp. I don't know why these people did not choose to continue chasing, but set up camp here.
"Senior Li, you stay here to take care of Oscar and Cap. Shanuo and I will go out to find out the situation and see if we can get some information about the large force from the camp."
Dorothy nodded.
After Falrus and Chano left, Oscar said to Dorothy: "If things get chaotic, you take Cap and run first."
Cap held the communicator and said: "I won't abandon Senior Oscar."
Oscar's legs did slow down their progress along the way, but Dorothy also knew that it would be unfair to abandon Oscar and let him be eliminated just because he was unlucky and randomly got the broken leg debuff.
Oscar lay flat on the ground, "It's not a real battlefield for you to abandon me, it's just a simulated battlefield."
"It's just a simulated battlefield, so it's not worth abandoning your companions to pursue victory." Dorothy said in a neutral voice, "If you don't want to be a drag, then we'll find you a thick branch to use as a crutch, so that you can run by yourself without relying on others to carry you." "
Okay." Oscar compromised.
Cap put the communicator on him. The two of them didn't dare to go forward to find a suitable branch crutch, so they could only go back to look for it.
On the other side, Phylus and Shano quickly knocked down an enemy. Phylus stripped the opponent's clothes and put them on to sneak into the camp. Shano waited outside.
Phylus spoke with an accent similar to the enemy, and then went in.
"......Escaped to the mountain forest where there is no road......"
"Planning to set up a checkpoint here......"
"Logistics support......"
Not long after, Felix found an excuse to come out.
Shanuo: "I didn't expect you to have this ability."
Felix changed his clothes back, "There are many things you didn't expect. Let's leave here quickly. It is said that the enemy has reinforcements coming. Don't surround us."
The two of them went back to their hidden base. Dorothy was measuring the length of Oscar's crutches, and Garp hadn't come back yet.
Oscar's communicator suddenly rang.
...
Garp, who was looking for branches, suddenly found a car on the road. In addition to soldiers, there were also a lot of supplies in the car.
Looking at the other team members, who were wearing completely different uniforms, Garp felt something stuck in his throat. He lowered his body and ran back at full speed. He felt that he had never run so fast in his life.
When he saw his four teammates, a sharp cry that he himself did not recognize burst out from his vocal cords: "Run! It's the Federation Army!"
Falrus looked at him and handed him the communicator in his hand.
"No, we are going to start the attack."
"Attack what? Are you crazy?" Cap said in shock: "New federal troops are coming soon, and we are in the middle of them!"
Felix pointed to the communicator: "We just contacted the main force, Tang En gave the order, our team attacked the camp."
Their attack had only one purpose, regardless of how many enemies were killed, but to cause chaos, the bigger the better, the more conspicuous the better.
In order to set up camp, the federal army had cut out a circle of open space around the camp, which happened to be an artificial firebreak.
When a cluster of flames burned from the inside, no one noticed it.
But because of people's deliberate cultivation, it suddenly grew at lightning speed.
Oscar was observing from outside because of his limited mobility, and suddenly he felt that the fire set by Falrus and his men was a good one.
On the ground was the chaotic Union Army, and overhead was the smoke of war, symbolizing the gathering of the old four legions.
The logistics support troops arrived soon, and they had to park the trucks carrying supplies on the road outside and go to the camp to put out the fire.
A silent and shabby team appeared, with Tang En among them. The people left behind to guard were killed, and the supplies and brand new equipment were taken away.
All the scattered teams nearby gathered together, and together with the main force where Tang En was, there were about two to three thousand people, and they directly took down this unformed checkpoint.
After the old four legions in the original history were dispersed and scattered into the mountains and forests, they still did not forget their mission to contain the Union Army, and they were still attacking the Union Army. However, since they were surrounded by the enemy, had no supplies, and missed the opportunity to escape before the encirclement was formed, more than 5,000 people died here.
Now there is a hole in the enemy's encirclement.
"What a mess! What if the First and Third Corps have not successfully retreated?!"
Iris was angry in the tent, "Is it a good thing that the old four corps survived and the other corps with 10,000 people died?"
Tang En was calm, "Who said they should die?"
"If we want to live, we should live together."
Feilus opened the curtain and saw Iris standing next to Tang En's desk.
He had just heard Iris' voice vaguely, so when he walked in, he looked at Iris with scrutiny for the first time.
"Sister, the supplies have been sorted out. Here is a detailed list of the items."
Because Felix did not specify which sister, Iris also looked at him, but he looked directly at Tang En, acting in a literal sense of contempt.
Tang En was of course aware of his little arrogance, and he smiled at his childish behavior.
——What kind of prestige is it to not say hello? Is it like a puppy turning its head and ignoring people?
Iris's eyes darkened for a moment.
She said to Tang En: "So what you mean is that if the old four legions die, the other legions will also die?"
"Iris, go to the intelligence team and listen to their news, and then we'll talk." Tang En said.
After occupying the enemy's camp, the gains include supplies and the enemy's communication frequency band, and even the enemy's code book.
The simulated battlefield is logical and can be calculated through human input data to construct a relatively reasonable battlefield situation.
——Why did the enemy chase the old Fourth Army?
The old Fourth Army was the rear guard to cover the main force. They drove the army into the mountains and forests. They should have a rough understanding of the number of people in the old Fourth Army and knew that they were not the main force.
Therefore, there is only one reason for the enemy to choose a long-term siege, that is, the main force of the Empire has already escaped. The enemy must get 5,000 heads of the old four legions.
Now is the time for them to set up checkpoints, which is exactly the beginning of making the decision of a long-term siege.
Iris came to the intelligence team's tent. As a living person among a group of NPCs and the only intelligence professional in the student team, Garp has connected to the communication frequency of the Federation Army and began to decipher the information at his desk.
[Waste! You let Edrian run away! If you don't take down the rest of them, I will kill you! ]
Garp:...
Edrian is the surname of the Imperial Royal Family.
After Iris came in, she held the paper he deciphered and said nothing.
After a while, a smile appeared on her face.
Cap's hair stood on end.
————
"Senior sister, how should we act next and where should we attack?"
"Senior sister, how did you find out there was an opportunity?"
"Senior sister, do you want some water?"
Tang En slapped Feilus on the head, "Shut up."
"Good slap, senior sister!" Feilus didn't dodge or move, his eyes looking at her eagerly.
Tang En was helpless and quickly withdrew his hand: "I'm not angry with you, and I will keep my mouth shut, so you don't have to do this."
Even if Feilus was attentive to reconcile with her, he was a little too attentive.
How come someone who is so calm and reliable outside becomes a different person once he enters the tent?
Or... is it her problem?
