Chapter 109 The Friendship of Comrades Is So Cheap
() When Chen Yun walked out of the room, the sky had basically darkened, but it was not dark at all outside the house. The reason was because of the torches tied around the wall. Looking at the time, it turned out that it was almost time for dinner. Clicked.
When the bald dean and Shen Yun returned, they also brought back the news that the mutation had been resolved, which relieved the soldiers who had been tense for more than ten days. Although the military's order to disarm had not yet been issued, after passing The words coming from the mouth of the bald dean, the dean of Blue Water Academy, who was very prestigious in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, was enough for them to believe.
Previously, these soldiers were only told that the monsters in the Forest of Desolation seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. As for what the mutation was, why the empire mobilized so many troops, and how the bald dean solved it, these soldiers did not want to know. . It’s not that they lack curiosity, but they understand that it’s enough for them to know that they don’t have to fight those ferocious monsters.
When Shen Yun came to the center of the camp, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was much more relaxed than when he first arrived. Except for those soldiers with vigilance duties who were still patrolling in an orderly manner, the other soldiers were looking for themselves in twos and threes. We sat down somewhere and chatted calmly. Although no one dared to laugh wantonly, the tense atmosphere earlier could no longer be seen.
The officers did not stop the soldiers from being in this state. Presumably, they had received some news and knew that this change could be safely passed.
Soon, large pots were set up in the open space of Zhongyang, and the fire rack at the bottom of the pot was quickly set up. Many soldiers were busy throwing the washed ingredients into the pot one by one and began to prepare for today's dinner. This scene It was also staged on the entire defense line of the Blue Water Empire near the Desolate Forest. After a while, the rich aroma of food spread in the air.
Originally, each camp had stone houses specially used for cooking, but these were only used by the small number of soldiers stationed here at ordinary times, and could not supply such a large number of troops now. Therefore, these soldiers have been using this method for this period of time. Solve problems the way you would when camping in the wild.
"Fellow soldiers of the empire, I am Billy. Now, I want to announce a news..."
Just when Shen Yun was thinking about whether he should go in and have a bite, a calm and majestic middle-aged male voice suddenly came, which surprised Shen Yun slightly. Looking after the sound, he found that it was a man wearing a slightly attire. The more refined soldier was standing in the middle of the open space holding a strange-looking box, and the male voice came from the box.
Broadcasting equipment? High-tech!
After sighing twice in admiration, Chen Yun began to listen to what the commander of the imperial guards, whose name he had heard for so long, planned to say. To be honest, Chen Yun really didn't know that Yu Qianqian's father would send this person who was said to be the most trusted person in the empire. The important minister is here. It seems that the king is very concerned about the situation in the Desolate Forest.
There was nothing special about Billy's words. They were nothing more than officially confirming the news that the mutation had been lifted in the name of the highest local military commander, and at the same time issuing an order for the legion to remain stationed for another month as a precaution.
As soon as these words came out, the entire defense line suddenly burst into joy, and bursts of cheers spread from near to far, resounding in the sky above the entire border defense line.
Some people may think that this is a sign of fear of death, but Shen Yun understands the thoughts of these soldiers very well. Since most people in Andalus cannot practice elemental power, the soldiers in the regular legions of almost all countries are basically It is composed of ordinary strong men. Regardless of whether they are facing dark creatures or monsters, these soldiers without elemental power have only one role - to consume the opponent's elemental power.
Yes, it's consumption. Maybe they can also use some magic props to attack the enemy, but if they encounter a situation where hand-to-hand combat is necessary, the only role these warriors can play is consumption. Through consumption, they can contribute to their combat duties. The opponent reduces the effectiveness and uses consumption to protect the relatives behind him. This cheap and helpless fighting method shows the belief and passion of most ordinary warriors in Andalus.
Every time they go to the battlefield, it is a test of life and death for these ordinary soldiers. Before the legion set out from the empire, there were already many smart guys who had heard about the enemy they would face this time through various connections- -Herd! Although we don’t know to what extent the demonic beasts in the Desolate Forest have rioted, and they actually need the empire to mobilize troops from the capital to garrison. But it can be said that almost all ordinary soldiers went forward with the belief that they must die this time. Come. Now that the commander has officially informed us that the danger is over, it is understandable that the soldiers are a little excited.
"Haha, your boy is here. I have been looking for you for a long time!"
A palm as big as a cattail leaf slapped at Chen Yun's shoulder. Shen Yun ducked out of the way deftly, uh... he didn't dodge. There was a dull sound when his palm came into contact with his shoulder, and Shen Yun suddenly grinned.
Ignoring Shen Yun's glare at him, the bald dean laughed, gave Shen Yun a thumbs up and said, "Those little guys are waiting for you, follow me."
"snort……"
Angrily following the bald dean, Shen Yun turned to a slightly remote corner. Shen Yun was still a little unbalanced in his heart. His eyes glanced up and down the bald dean's back with malicious intent, and finally aimed at an opportunity to use his energy. Pour it into the palm of your hand and pat it hard.
"Pah! Well..."
"Boy, what's wrong with you?" the bald dean asked concernedly, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little obvious.
"It's okay, you just need to lead the way..."
Shen Yun sent the bald dean who was obviously enjoying himself with an expressionless expression, and silently put his already red and swollen palms behind his back, and couldn't help but a drop of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
The two of them had already reached the edge of the camp. After passing another corner, Shen Yun finally saw a group of people from the Jihad team sitting around a small bonfire. They all showed friendly smiles when they saw him. .
This is a small open space, but it is much more secluded than the open space in the center of the camp. The turf on the ground has not been shoveled away, which makes everyone sitting around the campfire feel a bit like they are in the wild. .
"I'm telling you, you don't have a small stove, but you want to come here for a picnic?" Shen Yun squeezed Olaf away unceremoniously, sat down next to Yu Qianqian and said with a little teasing.
As mentioned before, the camp originally had kitchens prepared for the resident soldiers. Although it could not meet the needs of a large number of legionnaires, it was not a problem to provide food for the jihadist team. Shen Yun just wanted to go and join the soldiers. It was just out of interest, but I didn't expect these guys to come out and make a bonfire themselves.
"To be honest, I'm a little used to it after living in the forest." Faced with Shen Yun's teasing, Yitzhak smiled faintly and threw a dead branch into the fire.
"Ayun, you don't know, since we came here, we have been eating like this every day~" Defi wrinkled her nose and said to Shen Yun.
"Well..."
Shen Yun stopped talking. At this time, he only felt that it felt very good to be with these students. This slightly warm atmosphere was very comfortable for him.
Speaking of which, many people in their team have distinct personalities, such as Yitzhak's steadyness, Sean's coldness, Olaf's impulsiveness, Ken's boredom, Ampere's timidity, etc. This has caused On many decisions, there are fierce arguments among team members. However, the greatest advantage of these people is that when the majority of people pass a certain decision, a small number of people are willing to obey the decision of the entire group and give their full assistance.
The most obvious example is Ampei. Almost every time when we meet with an unexpected situation and discuss the solution, this guy always looks like he wants to go home. But when the team has made a decision, this guy has never been lazy during the battle.
"Well, I don't see that you little guys are quite polite, but you insist on me being the first to move your mouth. Well, it seems that you won't move if I don't eat it, so I reluctantly made the move first. !”
While everyone was immersed in the feeling of returning to the forest and fighting side by side every day, the bald dean couldn't help but jump out to disturb the scenery. He scratched his bald head a few times, as if he was interested in the students. The "respect" was a bit embarrassing, but as he spoke, he stretched out his hand. In a quick flash, the fattest piece of lean meat in the pot fell on the plate in front of him.
"Shameless!"
"mean!"
"Shameless~"
The actions of the bald dean woke up everyone who was silent in the warm atmosphere. Faced with such bad behavior, the members of the Jihad team no longer cared about the other dean Shen Yun, and shouted and cursed one after another. But they were helpless. The 13th-level powerhouse of the Vajra system was already thicker than the defensive array. He only listened to the students' scoldings as compliments and happily gnawed on the piece of fragrant meat on his plate.
Encountering such a shameless teacher, everyone could only admit that they were unlucky. Shen Yun was helpless and picked up the tableware to prepare for a meal, but found that everyone around him was doing the same thing as him. After a brief pause, Jihad The members of the team looked at each other for a few times, and their eyes suddenly became wary. In an instant, the comradeship that had been floating around everyone was blown away by the hurricane that came from nowhere, leaving only the knives and forks in everyone's hands. In the flickering cold light.
Olaf had the most irritable temper. He couldn't help but take action first, but he was attacked by the onlookers. The fork was only halfway extended when he encountered two large fireballs and several ice picks. He was so frightened that he retracted his hand. When Anbei saw that everyone's attention was attracted to the dwarf, he was about to secretly take away the piece of meat that he had been staring at for a long time, but unexpectedly, his good friend Ken next to him gave him a paralyzing lightning, which made him cry. I watched without tears as the half-forked piece of meat fell back into the pot.
There was a big fight going on over there, but Shen Yun was at ease. His left hand flashed with white light and blocked Yitzhak's fighting chop. His right hand had already quickly forked a piece of tender and delicious crispy meat and placed it on Yu Qianqian's plate. Inside, there was a sweet smile. Encouraged by the beauty, Shen Yun also cheered up. He used fatal blows and Laurent's heart knife in turns. When the shadow clone appeared, it even attracted a lot of curses. But Shen Yun turned a deaf ear to it. With the help of Yu Qianqian's ice-based deceleration magic, she succeeded one after another. Not only did she and Yu Qianqian eat well, they even forked several pieces for the hesitant Cat Girl.
