Chapter 1758 Food

Xika territory border, outpost.

The two six-meter-high sentry towers are inconspicuous in this mountainous area, and with a little camouflage, they are enough for any sloppy guy to ignore these two sentry towers.

However, the marksman standing on the guard tower can easily see everything on the avenue and the surrounding mountains.

Moreover, the angle of the two sentry towers is enough for the marksmen on the sentry towers to pay attention to each other, reducing the occurrence of accidents.

call!

The north wind in winter is howling by.

Luka shrank his neck and subconsciously wrapped the outer sheepskin tightly, but the wind kept getting into his neck collar and penetrated into his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Damn weather."

“It’s even colder this year than last year!”

"The only thing that keeps me going is that I can go back soon!"

Luka whispered to his companions beside him.

The Sika Territory has a military service system. Households with more than two adult males in the territory must select one of them to serve for one year every three years.

Most of the service time starts from the winter of one year to the winter of the next year.

Of course, this is not an obligation, but there will be certain subsidies.

Among them, the most important thing for residents is tax reduction.

When a male in the family serves in the military, the tax for that year can be reduced by a quarter or more.

For this reason, many people choose the path of professional soldiers.

However, it's not easy.

If you want to obtain the status of a professional soldier in the hands of Sika, a lord who believes in the God of War, the first point is to be able to fight, or at least have a reputation for bravery.

If you have any special talents, even better.

This was the case for Ebru who was on duty with Ruka.

Compared to Luka's average figure, Ebru was not only strong, but his eyes shone slightly even in the cold night, as if the darkness of the night could not stop him at all.

In fact, this is also true.

As one of the only five sharpshooters at the post, Ebru's eyes are notoriously sharp.

Of course, he is more famous for his instinct for danger.

Therefore, Ebru received half a salary higher than the other four people and was responsible for patrolling the outpost at night.

"What's wrong with the military camp?"

Ebru responded with a low smile.

Because they both come from the same town, they have a good relationship and are willing to work together.

"No wine."

"No women."

"No warm fireplace yet."

"Do you want me to say more?"

Luka turned around and shrugged.

"At least the food is good."

Ebru smiled and glanced around.

Clearly, the marksman has not forgotten his duties.

"Yeah, yeah, the food is good."

"But that's you, not me."

"I can only eat two baked potatoes a day. Occasionally some mustard is considered a rich meal. If I can roast some garlic, it is considered a holiday."

Ruka complained.

There is a difference between a semi-compulsory soldier and a true soldier.

Not only the strength, but also the treatment.

The most direct thing is food.

Semi-compulsory soldiers only have two meals a day, mostly omnivores and brown bread.

Professional soldiers, on the other hand, have three meals a day, including white bread, ham, eggs, etc.

"Next time you watch the night, I'll bring you an egg."

Ebru promised.

Ebru takes great care of his fellow villagers.

More importantly, the two have a deeper relationship.

"I'm waiting for your eggs."

"Ebru, you have a holiday soon, right?"

Luka smiled and punched his partner on the chest, and then asked with a serious look: "You haven't forgotten Jenny, have you? My poor sister who has been waiting for you."

"No."

"After the cold winter, I have twenty-two days off in the spring, and I want to go back and get married."

"Jenny has been waiting for me for two years and can't wait any longer."

Ebru said with certainty.

"Well, get married when you go back, and then work hard to get Jenny pregnant with a child."

"Hopefully a boy who inherits your gifts and my sister's looks."

"Your parents and I will take good care of him and make him a man."

"When I think of someone calling me uncle, I can't wait to get out of here even more."

Luka took a deep breath.

Then, he looked at his future brother-in-law, and inexplicably, he always felt that something was wrong.

Or to be precise, there is a sense of strangeness.

It's obviously the person in memory, but it's as if he doesn't recognize him.

This strange illusion made Luka couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ebru carefully.

In the dark night, Ebru stood upright on the sentry tower. Even the cold wind did not make him sway or stoop at all. His eyes were staring at the distant night like an eagle, and his gloved palms rested on the package. On the long bow covered with leather cloth, slightly thick fingers gently touched the bow body.

Everything looks like it was before, no different.

"Is this because I'm bored and starting to have random thoughts?"

Luka laughed at himself and turned away.

But at this moment, Luka trembled when he thought of something.

breathe!

From the beginning of the meeting, Ebru was not seen breathing!

On a cold night, the white breath is clearly visible.

No one will be an exception.

unless……

It's a dead person!

Suddenly, Luka's scalp went numb and he took a step back uncontrollably.

At this time, Ebru raised his head, his sharp eyes filled with strange redness.

"Did you notice?"

Ebru sighed.

"No, I didn't..."

puff!

Luka denied it repeatedly, but the dagger in Ebru's hand flashed and slit Luka's throat.

Blood spurted out from his throat, and Ebru did not dodge at all. He let the blood pour on his body, as if he was taking a bath, and he looked content.

What's even more strange is that not a single drop of blood fell on the ground.

He was just absorbed by Ebru.

When Luka saw this scene on his deathbed, he finally confirmed that the Ebru in front of him was definitely no longer the person he knew.

Opening his mouth wide, Luka wanted to shout.

But in the slit throat, only the sound of huffing and huffing was left.

Then, there is endless darkness.

Luka's body fell to the ground.

Ebru didn't even look at it. He turned his head and looked at the sentry tower on the other side.

As long as this sentry tower is captured, the entire military camp will be his prey.

'He' has been trapped there for a long time, but he hasn't had a full meal in a long time.

However, just when 'he' was about to take action, 'he' looked behind him.

On the road there, near the end, a motorcade appeared.

"An unexpected extra meal?"

'He' said this, and then suddenly laughed.

Because, 'he' saw a similar person wandering around this convoy.

A weak one who has not yet arrived!

Simply perfect food!

"How lucky I am!"

'Ebru' couldn't help but whisper.

…

The scouts of the convoy passed by on both sides of the convoy, holding torches high and the flames swaying from side to side. None of them noticed that a snowball was following the convoy silently.

This snow ball is not big, only the size of an adult's fist. Although it is moving forward on the snow, it is silent. With the protection of the same color, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it.

And this is also the capital that ‘Sucking Snow’ is most proud of.

It is different from other evil spirits in Xika Territory.

It was ‘born’ not long ago.

Only about ten years.

However, it quickly became stronger through its innate ability.

It believes that if it wakes up directly after the 'Black Disaster' like 'Mist', 'Withered Branch' or 'Sleeping Deer', it will definitely be the strongest in the Sika Territory.

Instead of hiding from predators like now.

We even had to make so-called alliances with some guys.

Thinking of that ally who thought he was smart but was actually extremely stupid, 'Sucking Snow' couldn't help but sneer.

The other party actually thought that after one glance at it, he would immediately take action, and then, in the name of planning, he would move it away.

It really doesn't mind.

If the opponent succeeds, it doesn't mind being the last hunter.

What if it fails?

At least give it a heads up.

Thinking of how he had killed two birds with one stone, 'Sucking Snow' couldn't help but feel slightly proud.

"'Oath of Cunning'?"

"What a vain guy."

"However, this convoy..."

In order to be realistic enough, it just stayed away from the convoy in a real sense. It was not until the time was up that it returned and found that the 'Cunning Oath' was dead.

Xie Yi's perception of Xie Yi is extremely clear.

It can clearly detect the other party's overflow.

No!

To be precise...

Being hunted!

Hunting between evil beings and evil beings is too common. After the initial 'Black Disaster', the Sika Territory directly 'born' dozens of evil beings, but when it was 'born', the number of evil beings was only There are less than ten left.

Among them, a small number were eliminated by the ‘War Temple’.

Most of them hunted each other and disappeared.

Evils and aliens enjoy hunting and killing their own kind.

After all, devouring a fellow creature will directly increase their own strength.

There are even rumors that if you swallow enough of the same kind, you can come directly.

Regarding this rumor, ‘Sucking Snow’ doesn’t believe it at all.

Because it has eaten its own kind.

That was when it was just born. A fellow creature targeted it, but was killed and devoured by it. It spent its weakest days, but its strength did not increase much, and it was not as exaggerated as the rumors. ,

However, because of this act of self-proven strength, it was recognized by many evil spirits in the Sika Territory.

Of course, it is still not qualified to go to Sika City.

Sika City has long been occupied by the 'Withered Branch', 'Sleeping Deer' and other similar species.

It tried to sneak in, but it was impossible.

Therefore, it became more and more afraid of the 'mist' that finally occupied Sika City.

The unknown is always scary.

What’s more, ‘Mist’ showed its own power.

It saw the 'Mist Giant' that day.

That is a force it simply cannot resist.

Therefore, when it discovered that ‘Misty’ might leave Sika City and expand its territory, it had no intention of joining in the fun in Sika City.

The 'fog' just might leave.

There is no real departure.

Even if you really leave, you will still come back.

If you find that your city is occupied, what will happen to the occupiers?

As for how far it can compete with ‘Mist’ in the short term?

That's simply impossible.

Of course, it is also possible that ‘Mist’ has fallen.

But again, the chance of this is too small.

Although it is rumored that Etantinoburg with the 'God of War' and 'Ms. Calamity' confronting each other is very scary, but 'Mist' is already a demigod, so as long as you are careful, nothing will happen to you.

'Sucking Snow', who knew everything in his heart, naturally set his sights on the only target in front of him: the team!

‘Sucking Snow’ is no stranger to the team.

In the days since its birth, the racing team has been its main goal.

However, it's not as no-holds-barred and stick-to-it as some guys.

Most of them choose a caravan with a smaller number of people, and shoot and change places.

It knows how many of its kind were wiped out by the 'War Temple' because they didn't know how to adapt.

But this time is different.

The decline of the ‘God of War’ is obvious to all.

Moreover, due to the city's martial law, the convoys that had been accumulated for several days all appeared at once. If they were all swallowed up, its strength would definitely increase.

At that time, if you still fail to seize the opportunity, you will really be punished by God.

However, 'Sucking Snow' had no idea that someone of its kind would sneak into the convoy one step ahead of it and 'Oath of Cunning'.

"Who is the one?"

"Could it be..."

"'Mist'?!"

‘Sucking Snow’ was shocked.

Subconsciously, he wanted to leave, but his eyes that were different from ordinary people still showed a deep sense of reluctance when looking at the convoy.

However, it was really ready to give up.

There is no doubt about the power of ‘Mist’.

Not to mention the 'Oath of Cunning', even if it is added, it will have no effect.

Moreover, the opponent who swallows the 'Oath of Cunning' will inevitably become stronger.

The opponent, who is already a demigod, is already beyond its ability to fight against. No matter how strong it is?

Do not make jokes!

It doesn't want to be eaten.

Thinking of this, 'Sucking Snow' stopped.

It was ready to stop following the convoy and return to the vicinity of Sika City to see if there was any delicious prey. However, when it reluctantly looked in the direction of the convoy again, 'Sucking Snow' suddenly had an idea.

"After passing the Sika post, the convoy will soon enter the area of ​​​​Etantinoburg."

"over there……"

"'Mist' will definitely be noticed by 'God of War' and 'Ms. Disaster'."

"A fight even broke out!"

"I wouldn't get into a fight like that."

"But there shouldn't be any problem swallowing this convoy, right?"

Thinking of this, 'Sucking Snow' stopped.

With greed in its eyes, it followed the convoy closely again.

From beginning to end, it didn't notice that a figure appeared behind it.

'Ebru' looked at 'Sucking Snow' quietly, 'he' couldn't help but lick his lips, and saliva began to secrete involuntarily.

Then--

Gudong!

The uncontrollable sound of swallowing saliva sounded.

‘Ebru’ was stunned.

because……

That didn't come from 'him'.
