Chapter 114 (1/2)
The moisture in the berles forest is very heavy, especially in the period before dawn at night.
The white wing mercenaries have been here all night, so they are particularly aware of this feeling. Many soldiers put their weapons aside and even took off their light armor. If they were not afraid of bad influence, these soldiers even wanted to take off all their bodies, but their upper bodies were completely naked at the moment. In fact, it was no better.
William's eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that the quality of white wing reserve soldiers would be so low. Is it really an army that has experienced hundreds of battles and can even fight with the regular armies of various kingdoms? William expressed unusual doubt about this. He looked at the night with some worry. There was no wind tonight. At this time, the forest was particularly quiet. Although these soldiers did make William invisible, at least they were not stupid enough to really take it as an outing or something.
Most people have a quiet rest and occasionally talk, which is also very light.
I don't know why, William always felt a little uneasy in his heart. The silence in the forest made him feel unusually vigilant. At this time, he didn't look lazy at all. His whole body exuded an extremely awe inspiring momentum, just like a scabbard sharp blade.
Finally, among the crowd, William found the general of the white wing mercenary regiment who was responsible for the operation.
When the other party saw William coming to him, he wrinkled his eyebrows without concealment. Several adjutants around him seemed to be aware of what the problem was. Everyone turned their heads and looked at William, and the atmosphere was very low. Obviously, William is definitely not a likable or popular role here, even if he showed his extraordinary talent this morning.
”What's up?” The general said with a proud face.
”Don't you arrange a vigil?” William glanced around and found that there were no patrols at all. He couldn't help but say.
”Do you think you still need it?” The general didn't want to talk to William, but William's words seemed to make him hear a very funny joke, ”do you think those northern barbarians will attack us Do they have that strength? In addition, when evacuating, I had the team turn back to the northeast and deliberately planted traces of our evacuation to the south. Do you think those northern barbarians can really find us? ”
”You are too arrogant.” William stared at the general coldly. ”As an excellent general, no matter when and where, he should not leave any opportunities for the enemy.”
”Oh? What do you say you should do? ” The general asked back.
”Now we should let the soldiers dress up and shrink their hands. At least we can't break up like this. At the same time, we also need to arrange people to patrol at night...”
Before William finished speaking, an adjutant nearby interrupted him: ”the soldiers have been on their way for a long time. Now we should take this opportunity to have a good rest, because our food is already a little insufficient, so we should take advantage of the enemy's failure to find us...”
”Do you think the enemy really didn't find it?” William looked at each other coldly, ”the ambush in the morning failed, and the opponent was obvious...”
”Enough!” The general snorted coldly, and his impatience became more obvious. ”An army doesn't need two commanders. Don't forget your position. You're just a staff officer. The real commander of this army is me, not you. I have been fighting for seven years. How old are you now? ”
”The facts this morning proved that your opponent's IQ is obviously not at the same level as yours, and your experience can't beat him.” William made a rude accusation, ”moreover, you obviously don't have a deep understanding of the enemy's intelligence. The other side's troops are made up of northern barbarians, and northern barbarians living in ice have a very keen sense of smell, which is related to their living environment. ”
The general's face was gloomy and terrible. He saw that many soldiers around him had looked here curiously. It turned out that they were angry with each other in the conversation just now, and their voices naturally became louder and louder. At the moment, seeing that the situation seems to have been unable to end, the general finally became angry: ”William! Please recognize your identity, you just... ”
Before the general's voice was finished, a scream suddenly sounded, which was particularly abrupt and harsh in the quiet forest and night.
Almost subconsciously, everyone looked at the screaming soldier. A feather arrow directly ran through his heart, and the strong shooting force even made the iron arrow come out. If the soldier had not unloaded his light armor because of the humidity of the forest environment before, this arrow would never have caused such a fatal blow to him.
Most of the soldiers around were still in a daze and obviously didn't react.
”Enemy attack!” William was the first person to react. Without thinking, he immediately shouted this sentence, and then immediately fell on the ground and began to look for shelter.
