Chapter 373 Undercurrent

"Hoo Chi... Instructor, Hoo Chi... Instructor, it's hit, it's hit, your archery skills are amazing, haha..."

There was silence in the field...

The arrow just now was shot from here, and it was the standard arrow of the Bran Empire. The soldier knew the middle-aged instructor's archery skills, so he thought it was his superior performance this time, so he immediately rushed over to report the good news.

After a while, "Shut up!" After coming back to his senses, the middle-aged instructor shouted sharply, his face turning blue and white at times, which was quite ugly.

Wow...

The soldiers also reacted at this time, and immediately burst into cheers and thunderous applause. But this time it wasn't sarcasm, but a real admiration for Luke's incredible archery skills.

Daniel was also excited. Even though the opponent had just admitted defeat, he had already won the situation. But now that I have such a long face, I naturally have a different feeling of joy. It can be said that the bad breath of being made things difficult by the other party several times before has been completely vomited out. He patted Luke on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement, then nodded with Tang En and walked away, completely ignoring the green-faced Bran officers.

"You, you... okay, okay, okay!" Angrily, he said hello three times to the middle-aged instructors and the group. Those Bran officers had no shame in staying here anymore and walked away one after another.

It’s no wonder they were so angry. Last night they made the opponent stay outside the city overnight, the difficulties at the city gate this morning, and the heavy infantry oppression just now, one after another, were all premeditated by Bran’s army in the city, just to Give the Gray Army an unforgettable showdown.

But the middle-aged instructor's behavior was definitely not planned by them in advance. After all, it is difficult to predict the accuracy of a bow and arrow. If someone is really hurt, the scene will be very passive. But now the result is good. Not only did the plan to show off power completely fail, but they also let the other party see their joke. They really shot themselves in the foot, knocking out their teeth and swallowing the blood in their stomachs.

After temporarily understanding the matter, the gray-coated army troops naturally continued to move forward. However, compared to the previous sullen atmosphere, the soldiers now straightened their chests and their morale was greatly boosted. Maybe it was just David and the others who were a little dissatisfied. They looked at the middle-aged instructor and others leaving, muttering that the play was not performed well and that the other party did not take the bait.

…

"It's over. Judging from the faces of the adults just now, we must have been remembered... Well, we won't be sent to the front line as cannon fodder." On the way back, his footsteps were particularly heavy. A soldier next to the middle-aged instructor Said with a sad face.

"Hey, you're such a crow, can you say something nice?"

"Hey, if you're angry, don't take it out on me. If you hadn't encouraged the instructor to show off the arrow technique, what would have happened just now?"

"Damn, who knew that boy's archery skills were so accurate, over 200 meters away? He's really fucking evil... Besides, didn't you fucking agree at the time?"

"I……"

"Okay, what's the point of making a fuss like this?" The silent soldier next to him waved his hand violently, "If the instructor hadn't surrendered on the spot, we would all be dead now!"

The two people who were quarreling immediately calmed down. This was a good thing. There were people from both sides present at the time. If they agreed to a bet, they would definitely not be able to deny it, and they would not be able to escape a knife in the neck in the end. If you think about it this way, it is not unacceptable to go to the front line to be cannon fodder. After all, at least they are still alive now.

The middle-aged instructor who was walking at the front paused when he heard this, and subconsciously looked down at the leather helmet in his hand. On the slightly raised top of the leather helmet, there was a hole that had obviously just been torn. If worn on the head, this hole will just rub the scalp without damaging the entire leather helmet. The angle is the best...

This was the effect of Luke's previous arrow, and it was also the reason why the middle-aged instructor would rather be hated by those officers than admit defeat on the spot. Facts have proved that his decision was right. If he had been a moment late, he might have been tricked by those officers...

"Instructor, instructor..."

"kindness?"

"What...should we do?"

After coming back to his senses and looking at the worried and fearful expressions of these soldiers, the middle-aged instructor pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, those are civilian officers and can't do anything to us."

"Hey, that's right. They are just civilian officers and are not on the same side as us. How can we be so scared?"

"Haha, the instructor is an instructor, and he is indeed well-informed..."

When the soldiers heard the middle-aged instructor's words, their heavy burdens suddenly lightened, and they began to flatter him again.

Haha... The middle-aged instructor raised his lips slightly and laughed silently. He didn't say everything in what he just said. Those civilian officers really couldn't do anything to them, but the same could not be said for others. He had also heard about the matter of giving power to the Gray Army. This was not something that a few officers could decide. plan of. But even if a big shot intervenes, the unlucky one will not be him, but these few soldiers. After all, he is confident that he can get through this with his own connections! but……

After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged instructor put this aside and thought of another, more unexpected thing. Frey... his life was really tough, and he didn't die after stabbing such a big trick! This is a trouble. Although it has little to do with him, if he raises old scores, the general... well, he has to make plans early...

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged instructor turned around and said, "Okay, that's it for today's training. Well, you go find a messenger, I have something to do."

"yes!"

…

…

The next few days were peaceful. Probably because they were worried about uncontrollable situations such as crowd fights, the gray army's barracks were far away from the Bran soldiers' barracks. Although the two sides had contact during training and meals, and they continued to provoke each other with looks and words, they did not escalate to a physical conflict under the suppression of their respective superiors.

Apart from these normal activities, Gray Army soldiers are basically in the military camp and are restricted from going out. Tang En and the others can go out, but there is nothing to wander around in the military camp. As for going to Vasa City, it is impossible. The south city gate is tightly guarded. Unless they get a warrant from a senior officer, don't talk about them. Even Bran's soldiers are not allowed to enter the city.

However, although their freedom was restricted, a lot of news about the front line was obtained.

The frontline intelligence previously known to the Gray Army was either too one-sided or too outdated. Now that we are on the front line, the news we get is naturally different. First of all, Bran's situation is far more serious than what the newspapers on the rear say. This time, the Northern Wilderness tribe changed from their previous style of grabbing something and leaving, and came out with all their elites. Intelligence pointed out that this time the tribe sent almost most of the barbarian soldiers over, and it seemed that they were fighting for their lives. Knowing this, the previous negotiating method of the noble negotiation team to cut through the mess quickly can be explained.

In addition, the northern front line of Bran is vast. Except for the place guarded by the Zichen Legion, which is still impregnable, the defense lines of the two armies of Cangyan and Thunder are in a state of disarray. They can only retreat to defend the city, but cannot counterattack and drive them away. . Moreover, there was vague news that some barbarian soldiers had begun to test the Zichen Legion's defense line, and it seemed that they were about to make a big move.

Regarding the latter news, the soldiers in gray clothes were a little confused. Logically speaking, testing the Zichen Legion means that the Northern Wilderness Tribe has achieved great strategic success at this time. Even if Bran is not in panic, he should still be worried. But after Bran soldiers heard this, they looked excited and their morale soared!

In fact, this weird and abnormal situation can be easily explained. The Gray Army soldiers who have been wandering and fighting in the rear naturally don't know what kind of weight the Zichen Army has in the hearts of regular soldiers in Bran. What a lofty status Yi has.

It can be said that as long as Ziyi is still in the Zichen Legion, Bran will be invincible in the hearts of the soldiers. There was no movement in the area where the Zichen Legion was stationed before. Sporadic news came, and they were all about cracking down on speculators and traitors, selling food and supplies to Beihuang, which made the soldiers very disappointed. However, everyone understands that after all, the position where the Zichen Legion is stationed is really important. If it is lost, the hundreds of thousands of kilometers north of Bran will be almost free to the Northern Wilderness barbarians. But the current situation is that the barbarians take the initiative to enter the Zichen Legion area, which naturally has to be discussed separately. All the soldiers are wiping their eyes and waiting for the Ziyi Army God to lead the Zichen Legion to take action and kill everyone!

In the end, the location of Sethman that Tang En wanted to know was still missing. There was news about the Temple of Light, but it was all about purifying wild cult heretics, etc., and it had nothing to do with Sethman. Tang En was not in a hurry about this. He had expected this situation. After all, the front line was so large and the turnover of personnel was so high. It was still impossible to quickly determine a person's position here.

But as long as he leaves here and actually contacts the front line, he will eventually be able to get news about the other party. In addition to Tang En's search, he had also discussed with Josiah before that the secret agency would set up branches in various frontline cities as soon as possible to collect all information about Sethman and the Temple of Light. With this powerful intelligence background, Tang En naturally has no worries about finding Theisman's location.

…

The boring days in Vasa City are naturally only temporary. In fact, Bran's military also has some headaches regarding the use of the 30,000 soldiers of the Gray Army. If possible, they would like to send all these people as cannon fodder, but if that is the case, the relationship between the two parties will be broken. Of course, it would be even more impossible if they were arranged to spend their days leisurely in the rear city... This entanglement in decision-making did not last long. After all, placing this unstable factor in the rear made Bran's senior management even more unstable. .

Finally, five days later, 30,000 soldiers of the Gray Army drove out of Vasa City one after another and rushed to the frontline battlefield... (To be continued.)
