Chapter 17 Mummy

Bang bang bang, gunshots buzzing, rifles and muskets intertwined, blooming bright flowers of blood, dyeing everyone's eyes red.

Standing on a hillside, watching the battle or massacre not far away through the binoculars, Sean was in a calm state of mind, without the slightest disturbance.

The autumn sweep of Luye Town has been going on for nearly a month. Although there were losses during the period, the existence of firearms and half a team of superhumans was not so large that it was unacceptable.

The gunshots gradually died down and became sparser, which also means that the battle is about to come to an end. There is no slight deviation in the result, but this is also normal. After all, one side is well-trained and well-equipped, and the other side is just a group of people equipped with stone knives and wooden spears. mob.

The flames rose, after cleaning the battlefield, the prisoners were strung together, and the soldiers of Luye Town skillfully ignited the fire, burning the small village to the ground.

This is not the first aboriginal village to be burned, nor will it be the last. Before this aboriginal village, soldiers from Luye Town had burned four similar villages. Of course, these villages were small villages with a population of several tens There are about a hundred people, and there is no supernatural power in the village.

After the battle was over and they returned to the temporary station, a small celebration banquet kicked off as night fell.

Slightly bitter dark beer was delivered to the table in barrels, together with the flame-roasted animal meat dripping with golden oil, moderate vegetable soup and black bread, it was a good meal for the soldiers.

Drinking and having fun, laughing and laughing, the camp is full of joy factors. Of course, besides wine and food, women are also essential.

During the mopping up process, the biggest wealth that Luye Town gained was the population of captives. These captives were all selected, young and middle-aged men and women. After they were brought back, they became qualified slaves and could be transformed quickly. For the sake of productivity, as for the elderly and children either died in the battle or were executed after the war, although it sounds cruel, it is indeed a tried and tested method of treatment.

Fighting in the wild for a long time, the biggest difficulty for the soldiers of Greenfield Town is not the aborigines who can only be regarded as mobs, but the harsh environment.

Miasma, poisonous insects, beasts and the accompanying diseases are all stresses that cannot be ignored. Sometimes even drinking a sip of raw water may lead to severe diarrhea and death.

The shadow of death has always been with the army in Greenfield Town, and has never been far away. Under such circumstances, the mental health of the soldiers is very important, and drinks and women are a simple and effective means.

Different from the hustle and bustle outside, the main tent was much quieter. Sean, Moonnes, and Ferrero sat in order of priority, savoring the food on the table carefully.

After eating the last piece of steak on the plate, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, took a sip of the wine, and wiped his lips. Sean raised his head and glanced outside the main tent. Watching Sean's movements, Mengnes and Ferrero He also quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand.

"Ferrolie, what's the situation with the army?"

"My lord, the current situation of the army is not bad. There are not many casualties, and the morale is available after successive battles. The only worry is that the logistics pressure is a bit heavy. The prisoners need to be transferred and the supplies need to be replenished."

After finishing speaking, Ferrolie turned his gaze to Sean, waiting for Sean's order.

"Well, you can take care of these things. Next, we are going to clean the wild greens. How is the situation there?"

"My lord, according to our information, the situation of the natives of Yeguoling is quite different from that of the Tam River Basin. Only one tribe exists, but the specific situation needs further investigation."

As he said that, Ferrolie glanced at Mengnes. Due to the harsh environment and complicated situation, the military spies were only responsible for the external investigation, and the internal situation was handed over to the extraordinary team under Mengnes.

Sensing Ferrero's gaze,

Moonnes did not hesitate, and said directly:

"My lord, the guard squad has already been sent out, led by Crom. Not enough information has been sent back yet, and it should take some time."

Speaking of this, Mengens also felt a little helpless. After all, the guard team is not a professional spy and has natural flaws in detecting intelligence. Fortunately, they are all extraordinary people. Under such circumstances, their survivability is better than Ordinary spies are much better.

Although he was not satisfied with Mengens' answer, Sean didn't say anything. After all, it wasn't his fault. Of course, deep down in his heart, Sean already had the idea of ​​building a professional intelligence team.

"Since this is the case, then temporarily slow down the advance speed of the troops and wait for the collection of intelligence."

"Yes, my lord."

The small meeting ended, and the atmosphere in the main tent became much more relaxed.

In the middle of the night, the banquet was over, and most of the soldiers had already fallen into a deep sleep except for the security personnel.

The moonlight is dim and the trees are densely covered, casting distorted shadows. Occasionally, a breeze blows, disturbs the branches and leaves, and makes weird noises, which are quite infiltrating.

In the early morning, after washing up and walking out of the main tent, Sean immediately noticed something was wrong.

"How is this going?"

Looking at the ten mummified corpses lined up on the ground, Xiao En looked a little cold.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, making people breathless. Under such circumstances, it was Mengnes who stood up.

"My lord, these ten corpses were discovered this morning, and their identities have been confirmed. Eight of them are militiamen and two are professional soldiers. The time of death was around midnight. The cause of death was that the blood in their bodies was sucked dry."

Listening to Meng Ensi's words, Sean silently squatted down and carefully examined the body of the deceased without saying a word.

After inspection, Sean found that the death patterns of these ten people were very similar. All of them had shriveled bodies and peaceful faces, as if they had died in a sweet dream. There were no additional wounds on the whole body except for the two small holes on the neck. And all of this can't help but make Sean think of three words, vampire, but what makes Sean puzzled is that these blood holes are a bit too small.

Standing up, he glanced at the dignified and apprehensive expressions of the people around him, and Sean asked:

"Can you identify the murderer?"

The tone is light, without any ups and downs.

"My lord, we are not sure yet. The soldiers on guard last night did not find anything unusual, and we did not find any valuable clues where the ten people died, not even footprints."

After listening to Fei Luolie's words, Xiao En's expression remained unchanged, only a pair of azure blue pupils became more profound.

"That is to say, the murderer easily crossed the security line of our camp, killed ten of our soldiers in silence, and then retreated without leaving any traces? We didn't even know whether he or they were human or not. The beast doesn't know, does it?"

At the end, Sean's voice suddenly rose by one degree.

"Yes, yes, my lord."

At this moment, everyone felt the raging anger beneath Xiao En's calm face.
