Longmen Memoirs

"How long will it take for the garrison to arrive?"

"I don't know yet."

"...Is there anything you can be certain of right now, Sergeant! *Usas swears!*"

at the same time.

Chen Mo's infected warriors had already fought against the attackers outside the military port. Flames were raging, swords were clashing, and shouts of killing continued to sound.

The saber had just stopped the slashing sword, and Tallulah's unceremonious whip leg had already kicked Chen Mo's waist. The flames condensed in the palm of his hand, whizzing away and being chopped into pieces by the saber.

The swords collided again, flames and heat waves brushed past Chen Mo's ears, lifting his hair, and the silver stars on the epaulettes of the military uniform reflected the bright colors in the flames.

"Hey, hey, don't fight so hard."

The moment the swords collided and approached, Chen Mo lowered his voice, and Tallulah narrowed her eyes slightly, with a narrow smile on her lips.

"What if I don't act like it? Ursus soldiers are watching from above."

"That's what I say, but your use of magic is going too far."

Chen Mo stepped back, and there was a faint smell of burning coming from the uniform that was ignited by the flames. Chen Mo seriously suspected that Tallulah was taking the opportunity to retaliate, although she did not seem like someone who would do such a thing.

"Whatever you say." She suddenly jumped up, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed towards Chen Mo's position, showing no mercy.

Chen Mo had no choice but to roll aside in embarrassment.

The big sword turned from slashing to swinging again, and the sharp blade rubbed the scimitar blade in the splash of sparks. Tallulah's hand that clenched the hilt of the sword was slightly raised, and the saber in Chen Mo's hand came out.

On the battlefield, attackers and City Guard soldiers were falling continuously.

"Lieutenant!"

The sergeant of the transport convoy looked at his commander who had not issued an order for a long time. The city guard officer below was retreating steadily under the attack of the leader of the attackers.

Until the saber in his hand was knocked away, and the officer rolled in embarrassment to avoid the sword in the hand of the leader of the attackers.

The lieutenant of the transport convoy finally stopped hesitating.

It seemed that the number of enemies was much smaller than they had previously estimated, but how could they dare to attack this military port with such a small number of people? They clearly did not have the ability to capture this place in a short time unless they had other plans.

The lieutenant who was waiting and watching had been hesitating. He was worried that there were enemy reinforcements ambushing nearby, and the number of the city defense team that arrived was too small. However, until more than half of the city defense team was destroyed, there was still no enemy reinforcements. On the contrary, the number of enemy troops was Not much more than this city defense team.

If they don't take rescue and the enemy doesn't have any reinforcements, watching the guard be annihilated before their eyes, once this matter is reported to the local officials, he, a little lieutenant, can't bear the crime and will also have to bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty. risk.

Military discipline in Ursus has always been strict.

"Organize the soldiers, open the floodgates, and we will immediately go to support the city defense team outside."

"Yes."

Chen Mo rolled in embarrassment to avoid Tallulah's sword slashing one after another. In his peripheral vision, infected soldiers and uniformed soldiers were falling down continuously, and the ground was stained red with blood.

The doors of the military port building and garage slowly opened, and the Ursus soldiers in the transport convoy reorganized their counterattack.

"It's time for you to realize that something is wrong and retreat."

Chen Mo couldn't help but remind Tallulah in front of him that he looked so embarrassed. There were burnt marks everywhere on his uniform, and his whole face was covered in dust.

Tallulah turned back to look at the Ursus soldiers who reappeared from the building. She put away her sword with a look of unwillingness and resentment.

"I remember you, Ursus soldier!" she said loudly and deliberately, then turned to the remaining warriors: "Soldiers, retreat immediately, the plan has failed."

The infected warriors who received the order did not hesitate to abandon their opponents and retreated outside under the leadership of Tallulah. The Ursus soldiers did not pursue, and Chen Mo's guards did not continue to pursue.

"Phew, you arrived just in time. Thank you for your assistance, Lieutenant."

Chen Mo, who regained his saber, watched the Ursus officer walking towards him and standing in front of him. His shoulder straps had the same military rank, but were different from the city guard's collar badge and style.

Chen Mo looked ugly and casually responded with an Ursus military salute.

"You can hesitate for a while, wait until my men and I are dead here, and then come out of your beautiful and sturdy house to see if you can collect the bodies for us, Lieutenant."

"I'm sorry, but we can't be sure if the enemy has other reinforcements. After all, it's too strange for such a small number of people to attack here." The lieutenant of the transportation team replied apologetically.

"Ha, it seems that officers from big cities always want to think more. No, in fact, Lieutenant, our station was also attacked half an hour ago. The enemy's purpose is not limited to this."

"Is that why you only came with one squadron?"

"The main responsibility of the local guards is to protect the safety of Mintsk." Chen Mo corrected, and sighed with some helplessness: "Let's put it this way, the factories that were attacked belong to the property of certain people in this city. .”

The transportation team lieutenant suddenly realized.

"Oh, I understand." The other party looked at Chen Mo understandingly: "I haven't asked your name yet."

Chen Mo held out his hand.

"Commander of the [-]st Mintsk Defense Company, Lev."

The other party held Chen Mo's hand and smiled: "Tojegli of the [-]th Infantry Brigade of Holy Castle, maybe I can treat you to a drink after finishing the rest, Lieutenant Lev."

"It's not an honor." Chen Mo also smiled.

At this moment, the corpses of the infected warriors and guards who had fallen on the ground suddenly got up. Under the blank and dull eyes of the transport team guards who had just relaxed, they waved their swords at the people closest to them.

The lieutenant was startled when he witnessed this scene. Chen Mo's smile became even brighter in his sight. He subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but suddenly he realized that his right hand was held by the opponent, and the other person still held a saber in his other hand.

"you……"

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Tojegli."

He covered his neck and coughed, as if he wanted to say something else. His eyes were full of astonishment and dullness. A voice rang in his ears, and then he slowly fell silent and his body collapsed.

"Looks like you've finished it here."

Tallulah re-entered the military port, and the Ursus prisoners who had their weapons confiscated were being held into the building.

Behind him was a group of people from the Chamber of Commerce. They had been waiting nearby for a long time. These people would be responsible for transferring the armaments left by the transport team to other places. Together with the indoor farm equipment specified in the contract, the Chamber of Commerce would transport them to the agreed location. .

"It's not over yet." Chen Mo shook his head and said. He wiped the blood on his saber and turned his eyes to the corpse on the ground. "What's going on with Avora and Pavel?"

"We have escaped the pursuit of the city defense team."

"So the people from the city defense team are coming soon." Chen Mo replied, looked at his watch and then looked at Tallulah: "We still have a little time, do you want to leave the city with them first or stay with us? .”

"Which one do you prefer?" Tallulah asked.

The soldiers collected the body of the transportation team lieutenant. Chen Mo took his hands back into the sheath and put on the transportation team lieutenant's military uniform stained with blood and gunpowder smoke.

"The former just to be on the safe side."

"I'm asking you for yourself."

"I thought you knew." Chen Mo said, his bloody fingers buttoning his collar. "how?"

"I still like your previous outfit better." Tallulah looked at it for a few seconds: "At least it's not stained with so much blood."

Chapter 117: Meeting... always parting ([-])

The city guard always arrived late.

Chen Mo and the infected soldiers put on the military uniforms of the transport team. The blood-stained military uniforms were put on the messy battlefield that had just experienced the battle. The soldiers were collecting the corpses of their companions and extinguishing the flames that ignited the camp. It was cathartic, noisy, and messy.

This is what the Mintsk city defense guards saw when they arrived.

The leader was a lieutenant, wearing the same uniform as the infected soldiers not long ago.

The chaotic and miserable scene, the soldiers collecting the corpses behind him, and the blood on his uniform and face made him look arrogant and contemptuous.

The convoys certainly had reason to treat their reinforcements in this way, because they single-handedly repelled the enemy attack before the local guards arrived belatedly.

The guards who faced this scene at the time thought so too, so they did not dare to feel dissatisfied when faced with this attitude.

In fact, there were very few interactions between the transport team and the local guards. At least the garrison lieutenant in front of them was definitely not one of them. Mintzsk was just one of the cities where they stopped briefly on the way. Although the local officials had exchanges with them, most of them They are subordinate officers sent by the municipal government, and the resident lieutenant is not among them.

At this time, no one would think of asking the subordinate officer who had contacted the transport team to confirm the other party's identity.

It was impossible for them to know each other. Just as the disguised city defense guards were not seen through by Lieutenant Toyegli of the transport team, the subsequent city guards were not able to confirm whether this group of transport teams was genuine.

Perhaps they should have confirmed each other's identity immediately, but the city defense lieutenant really couldn't muster the courage, especially when he looked at the soldiers behind him who were collecting the corpses. He was afraid that if he did this, he might lose his life. It's not just the bad attitude in front of me.

When he realized that he was late, he had already made this preparation in his mind.

The troops coming out of Holy Castle, even the transport team, are far superior to them in the eyes of the urban garrison in the remote town. Therefore, it is not surprising to the garrison that they can deal with a sudden attack, and the other party is not surprised by them. The failure to provide any support in time made the anger in Zhishan's eyes justifiable.

The lieutenant didn't have any doubts. In fact, he had no confidence at all.

Therefore, after tentatively asking if he needed help and medical treatment, the lieutenant was ridiculed and scolded by the other party and did not dare to refute. On the contrary, the other party's attitude made the lieutenant even more afraid to doubt.

So the city guard who arrived late had to turn back in despair. He still needed to report the situation at the station to his commander. The current situation was not the time for him, a small lieutenant, to make the decision, and his commander might contact the municipal officials. After all, in the current situation, the local garrison did not want to have anything more to do with the attack on the transport team.

As for the municipal government, while they breathed a sigh of relief, they were probably still very troubled by this problem. They couldn't get rid of the connection when the transportation team left behind was attacked locally. What's more serious is that they didn't even Can provide any help to the other party.

If the municipal government is smart enough, it will throw this problem to the garrison guards and their commanders, scolding them for neglecting training, slacking off, and failing to respond in time. And the commanders of the garrison guards will most likely do the same thing after receiving the news. .

No one wants to get into this trouble. No one can think in time whether the transportation team is still the same transportation team as before. They will probably only think about how to quell this trouble. Of course, the faster way is to bribe the commander of the transportation team to deal with this bad incident. The attacks subsided.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will send someone over soon." Chen Mo said as he watched the guards leave. Tallulah stood behind him: "What's going on behind the scenes?"

"The things have been shipped out." Tallulah replied. The Chamber of Commerce personnel who followed the infected warriors from the rear of the station were unloading the armaments in the workshop and quietly loading them into trucks transporting ore.

They will then secretly transport these armaments out of Mintsk disguised as ore through other channels. Kannot has his own methods in this regard.

"We don't have much time. There is no guarantee that the people they will send over have interacted with the remaining transport team officers and soldiers. Let the soldiers load the bodies onto the vehicles and we will leave the city immediately."

This is just as planned, they have to act before Mintzsk reacts. The more anxious and dissatisfied they are, the less Mintzsk will be suspicious. On the contrary, if they are nice and friendly, Mintzsk will be suspicious. People who suffer losses from accounting will not be so kind.

"What are you going to do with those prisoners?"

Tallulah didn't refute, she asked, looking at Chen Mo who was wearing the military uniform of the Ursus Transport Team.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Someone will be aware of the problem tomorrow morning at the latest. Mintzsk will send people to catch up with the leaving convoy. On the other hand, the main force of the leaving transport team will also know the news."

"Then throw them into the wilderness with the vehicles."

"You can also choose to get rid of them." Chen Mo said: "It depends on you, Tallulah. Even if you spare their lives, they will not be grateful to us. We attacked them and killed their Comrade, this is a fact."

"We never need their gratitude either."

Tallulah replied, as if she had already acquiesced in leaving the captives alive.

The convoy loaded the bodies and left Mintsk, where they had stayed long enough, despite orders from Mintsk port officials to find a way to keep them.

But the order of the transport team was to set off immediately after repairing the vehicle in order to catch up with the main force that left early. They had stayed here long enough, and this attack made them dissatisfied with the city's defense force. Hope to stay here for a long time.

Chen Mo's words were extremely harsh. The official who was ordered to leave the transportation team was muttering and did not dare to refute. In fact, the transportation team was indeed one of the victims in this emergency. He had no choice but to say that there was no such thing outside. Safety.

"It's safer in the city. No, in my eyes, even the wilderness is much cleaner and safer than this city riddled with holes."

In the end, the official failed to keep the transport team. After the opponent drew his saber, he quickly realized that there was no need to risk his life in front of this group of bloody soldiers for the mistakes of the garrison and the municipal government.

After all, it seems that they really want to kill themselves, and the current situation is that the upper management of Mintsk is eager for them to kill themselves, so that they can find some leverage on the transportation team, so that there is room for change.

Officials are not stupid, it is better to say that people are surprisingly smart when facing their own lives.

"I can't believe we got out of town so easily?"

"This can also reflect the problems of Ursus City from the side. They don't have such a good attitude towards other people. It's just that we suffered the loss this time... No, the transport team from the Holy Castle was the one who suffered the loss. They also If you’re not stupid, someone will find out something is wrong soon, and even if it’s not, they will try their best to keep you.”

"This matter isn't over yet?"

"Of course it's not over." The vehicle drove into the wilderness, and Mintzsk was fading away behind it: "Imagine if you were the guard of Mintzsk, and when you realized that a transport team from Fort Saint-Jun was in your city How would you feel after being attacked and replaced, and if that’s the case, everyone here will be held responsible.”

"They will definitely bite the transport team to death because they left the city without listening to the advice and were attacked in the wilderness. The port official is the best witness."

The infected person suddenly opened his mouth after hearing what Chen Mo said.

"It can still be like this..."

"Don't think that Ursus officials are really loyal and patriotic. Most people actually love their own lives more."

"But those prisoners, if they tell anyone, they will definitely be exposed."

"It depends on whether the people in Mintzsk find them first after realizing the problem, or whether the transport team knows about it first." Chen Mo said: "So even if they realize that there is a problem, Mintzsk officials will definitely find ways to do it. Help us delay. If we are in the city, of course they can intercept us, but now that we are out of the city, they dare not attack us directly without being sure."

"In any case, the Ursus people in the city should have a headache now, not us. As for the armaments on the car, let them find them in the wilderness."

Chen Mo looked at the wilderness night pierced by the car lights.

"...If they can find it."

I think I should be able to understand that the infected will finally take revenge on the land that has oppressed and humiliated them for their own suffering.
