The dim sun, the barren land, the tall cacti, the plants that grow in arid areas, and the mountains in the distance that look like barren soil. Only when you get closer can you realize how big they are.
There was a roar of wild beasts and the roar of running, stirring up dust all over the sky, mixed with the voices of people shouting for joy.
"Yo ho~!" A big Akali jackal took the lead to rush out of the dust. Wayne, who was sitting on the jackal, waved the big sword in his hand and looked back at the people behind him, shouting: "Hurry up!
Go faster and leave them far behind."
"Hey, Wayne, slow down a little bit." Luo also caught up with him on the same Achilles Jackal from Zone 1 and shouted, "Don't get lost alone like last time."
Wayne ignored Luo's dissuasion and kept driving the jackal under him to run fast.
The Akale jackal is a kind of monster that lives in the southeast of the main continent, on the edge of the grassland and Gobi at the junction with the eastern continent. Their adult body length is about 2.5 to 3 meters, their average weight is more than 500 kilograms, and they have a tan color.
It has fur, a bone blade like a boning knife on the bridge of its nose, and two saber-toothed tiger tusks in its mouth.
However, despite their ferocious appearance, in fact, in most cases they only eat carrion or the remains of other beasts. Moreover, they can also be domesticated and driven by humans.
In the Akhali and Itanlis regions, many residents will tame an Akhali jackal at home, just like taming a dog to guard the house. There are also many travelers who go on long-distance trips in this area.
When traveling, we will also rent a running Akali jackal, because they have good wilderness survival ability, can withstand hunger and thirst, can run fast in short distances or ford long distances, and of course have certain fighting abilities.
Therefore, even in areas like Etanris, where they live, it would cost thousands of gold coins to buy one.
Scar also caught up and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that without Irina, no one can really control this 'bison'."
Luo asked: "When will the leader and Irina arrive?"
"They brought a lot of supplies, so they should be much slower." Scar looked ahead and said, "You're not thinking about your 'wife' right now, are you?"
Luo coughed twice in embarrassment.
Scar laughed loudly: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. We are the vanguard, we just go to check the situation first. We go to war as mercenaries, and the logistics supplies largely depend on ourselves.
So the supplies are very important to us, so the boss will personally supervise the transportation, which means the lives of hundreds of people in our Blue Cross Mercenary Group."
Luo Meng fell silent and stopped talking.
Scar asked: "Why, are you worried about dying on the battlefield?"
"No."
Scar smiled: "I can tell by your look that you are scared. It doesn't matter, just say it if you are afraid. It is not a shameful thing. Everyone is afraid of death."
Luo took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I'm not completely afraid. I've been with you for so long. I've long known that as a mercenary, facing death is inevitable. This is my first time participating.
It’s a real war, I feel very nervous.”
"Hey! What are you talking about anymore? You don't want to invite me to listen." Wayne slowed down and drove the Akale Jackal to them.
When Scar saw him coming, he deliberately stopped talking and looked at the sun in the sky and said, "The weather is really nice today. The sun is not hot at all, and the wind is so comfortable."
Seeing that they had talked, Wayne thought about it and said angrily: "Luo, you must have said bad things about me again, right? Damn Irina, I have told you all my scandals, I must settle the account with her!"
"
Scar suddenly looked behind Wayne seriously and said, "Hey, Irina, why are you here so soon?"
Wayne was startled, and when he looked back, he realized that he had been deceived, and became even more angry: "Humph, I will follow you, and I will see how you say bad things about me. I hate Irina, I must settle the score with her,
It's useless for you to scare me, I'm not afraid of her!"
Luo and Scar both snickered.
At this time, Bimoye caught up and said, "It's time to rest." Then the group of them rested on the spot, dug a hole, made a fire, and cooked food.
This time, the lightly-armed vanguard of their Blue Cross Mercenary Regiment had more than twenty people, including some who knew geography and some elites from the regiment who knew how to fight, in order to first understand the situation in the war zone.
More than a month ago, Ba Naoqian, the leader of the Blue Cross Mercenary Group, accepted an SSS-level war mission after discussing with the members, so Wayne, Luo, Scar and Bimoye were not far away.
Thousands of miles away, I came here.
January 17, 7403 in the Sacred Garden Calendar: The five-nation coalition composed of the Eastern Continent’s Sanlegis Empire, the Samptesman Empire, the Chelesi Democratic Republic, the Colu Federal Republic and the Ponte Empire prepared to join forces to attack the
Yanyang City launched a crusade.
January 24, 7403 in the Holy Garden Calendar: The leader of the Blue Cross mercenary group accepted an SSS-level war mission and became a mercenary force of the Five-Nation Alliance.
March 19, 7403 in the Holy Garden Calendar: After preparations, the first twenty or so members of the Blue Cross Mercenary Group arrived in the desert no-man's land of Etanris in the Eastern Continent, which is now.
About twenty people sat in a large circle and ate lunch, while the domesticated Akale jackals were eating the pieces of meat unloaded from the car.
Scar said: "Luo, let's continue what you said before. In fact, I am also afraid of war. Death is not a pleasant thing. I have served as a soldier in my own country before and participated in several battles. The look on my face
The scar is from that time."
More than twenty people were listening. Although there were two or three of these people who had been on the battlefield, none of them had as much war experience as Scar.
Everyone in the regiment knew that Scar had been a soldier, because he always used it to brag about himself, and sometimes said that he drew it himself. However, he did have real skills, otherwise he would not have experienced it.
Survived several battles.
Scar said: "Do you know what is the most important thing for you as an individual to do well on the battlefield?"
"What?" Wayne asked while taking a big bite of meat.
Scar said: "On the battlefield, the most important thing to do is not to kill more enemies, but to work hard to survive."
Several people murmured quietly on the spot, and they seemed to disagree with Scar's statement.
Scar said seriously: "Maybe you think I am too cowardly to say this, but I tell you that war is not an ordinary battle, it is not the kind of fight you imagined. On a real battlefield, regular soldiers must first line up.
Array."
"Arrangement?" Someone asked: "You are talking about arranging all the soldiers like squares before the battle? What's the use of that? They advance together and retreat together. It's too rigid."
Scar smiled and said: "You guys have never participated in a war or received training from a military academy, so of course you don't know what use it is. Let me tell you, if you don't do that, you won't even know how to die.
These are all outstanding students from Kurantin Academy. You should have learned things like tactics and marching in your academy, right?"
Among these people, Luo had studied in the academy for the longest time. He nodded and said: "I know this. You must form a formation before a battle. During a battle, the formation must move together. Because when the war is chaotic, it is impossible to tell who is who.
Who is the enemy and who is your comrade, so as long as you maintain the formation, you can safely leave your side to your comrades." (The wars at that time cannot be compared with our current wars. In ancient times, whether in the East or the West, the battle formations were the same.
is very important.)
"That's right." Scar said: "If the formation is broken up, it means the end of your army. That's why regular armies work so hard to train formations and formations."
Someone nearby was horrified to hear this: "According to what you said, if we are scattered, if we are not killed by the enemy, we will be killed by our own people? This is too terrible."
Scar patted his shoulder and smiled: "That's why I ask you to work hard to save your lives. In that case, what you have to do is to run back to your camp. Of course, asking you to save your life first is not just
Not only for escape, but also for victory. If you all die, how can there be victory?"
