MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 9 8. Courage

  Chapter 9 8. Courage

The barracks of the Fifty-seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment was built on a soil **** at the foot of the **** of the forest farm. To the west of the forest farm is the Gandar Er Mountains. From the south of this mound, you can see the vast plains in the south of the forest farm. The rivers and streams that meander down from the Gandare Mountains enter the southern plains, and this is the season with the most abundant rainfall in Handanal County.

Jie Longnan ran out of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain covered in blood. His upper body was still wearing chain mail, but the pants on his lower body were only blood-stained linen shorts. He was holding a standard saber in his hand, but Fang Dun no longer knew Where to go, ran to the camp in a panic.

The temporary market is located between the camp and the forest farm. At this time, a soldier covered in blood ran out of the dense forest of the forest farm. Of course, the people from the market were the first to discover this situation. He Boqiang also heard people in the market Exclaimed, only to find that Jie Longnan ran back from the woodland in a state of embarrassment.

   "Hey, little Zack, what are you doing?" Curly-haired Gabby shouted at He Boqiang.

  At this time, He Boqiang had already taken big strides and ran towards Jielongnan. He passed by the noisy market, and flexibly avoided many pedestrians in the market.

  While walking through the market, his body is as light as a gust of wind.

   "When I was young, I ran as fast as him!" An old man sitting in an open-air tavern, who was drunk, said to Larkin who was also drinking.

  La Jin squinted his eyes, followed He Boqiang's back, and said casually: "Of course I know..."

In addition to He Boqiang, several soldiers wearing standard mail armor rushed out from the market. Just by their attire, it can be concluded that they are all soldiers from the barracks of the 57th Infantry Regiment. Perhaps it is because they are fully armed and well-equipped. Heavy armor, so when running towards Jielongnan, He Boqiang always took the lead and ran at the forefront.

  He Boqiang faced Jielongnan, and helped the black boy who was running a little bit staggeringly.

There are several wooden arrows hanging on the mail armor behind the black boy Jielongnan. This kind of wooden arrows cannot penetrate the armor at all. The soldiers will only be injured if they hit the parts that are not covered with armor. Jielongnan's injury is only on the shoulder. A hole was cut on the top by a sharp weapon, as if someone had cut the throat, but the position was slightly off.

   Sweat mixed with blood, Jie Longnan ran out of breath, his face full of anxiety.

  Seeing He Boqiang coming up, he was not polite, and directly supported his arm with both hands. He was exhausted from running at this moment.

"Take me back to the barracks quickly. I want to report to Baron Sidney that a group of aboriginal warriors appeared in the valley west of the forest farm. Sam and the rest of the people are dealing with the aborigines in the valley. I want to ask Baron Sidney to send Reinforcements...to wipe out that group of dogs* natives." Jie Longnan said to He Boqiang in a panic.

  He Boqiang did not hesitate to short and hold one of Jielongnan's arms, preparing to run back to the barracks of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment with him on his back.

  At this time, the soldiers of the infantry regiment who were following He Boqiang also ran up and asked Jie Longnan, "What happened, have you been ambushed by evil spirits?"

  He Boqiang was stopped by two infantry soldiers.

  Jelonnan repeated to the soldiers of the infantry regiment: "We were ambushed by a large group of natives from Handanal County..."

  One of the infantry regiment soldiers asked Jielongnan: "Which brigade do you belong to?"

  Jeronnan quickly replied: "Our chief is Baron Sidney of the Fourth Battalion..."

   Afterwards, with the support of two soldiers wearing standard armor, the black boy Jielongnan walked quickly to the camp, while another soldier asked Jielongnan about the specific situation while walking.

  No one paid any attention to He Boqiang. He Boqiang seemed to have nothing to do for a while. He Boqiang stood on the grass on the **** and looked at Jielongnan who was rushing to the camp in a daze.

  Jie Longnan didn't even have time to look back at He Boqiang.

  …

  Jielongnan didn't bring much useful information to He Boqiang, only saying that their team was responsible for patrolling the mountain road in the valley to the west of the forest farm and found a group of aborigines from Handanal County.

  He Boqiang didn't know the natives of Handanal County, but only heard a few words from these natives from Suldak:

'Although these aborigines used to be the owners of this land, they are still in a very backward tribal and clan social system. For the regular army of the Green Empire, these aborigines are completely uncivilized monkeys. The natives of Handanal County were not taken seriously. '

   I just didn't expect that it was these aborigines with wooden bows and stone spears who brought trouble to the second team this time.

   Hearing that Suldak and Sam were still fighting the natives of Handanar County in the western valley of the forest farm, He Boqiang felt the blood in his body was also boiling.

  Thinking of what Suldak said in the morning, he hoped that he would have better luck in this mission, but it is definitely not good news now.

He Boqiang felt the weight in his hand, and when he lowered his head, he found that the Roman sword that had been carefully polished behind the market stall was still in his hand. He didn't know where the courage came from. It was probably the strength of this body that gave He Boqiang A decision that startled me.

  He didn't return to the market stalls, but turned around and took a silent look at the noisy temporary market.

He Boqiang found that many people in the market were watching the excitement. Some watched the three infantry soldiers running back to the camp with Jie Longnan supported, and some stretched their necks to see if there would be a sudden burst of smoke in the woods here. When the enemy came, some people simply ran back to their tents, preparing to pack some of their goods.

  He didn't see Larkin and Gabby in the crowd, and he wanted to show Larkin that he just wanted to borrow his Roman sword.

  However, since Larkin was not found in the crowd, He Boqiang had no intention of going back, but just raised the Roman sword in his hand at the market, hoping that Larkin would understand what he meant.

   Can't wait for Larkin to react, 'Maybe he didn't see it at all', He Boqiang thought in his heart.

Then he ran slowly without looking back, and rushed into the dense forest of the forest farm. He planned to follow the way Jielongnan ran back to find Suldak and Sam, holding the A Roman sword should be able to help. He Boqiang knew that his body was strong, but he hadn't experienced a battle yet. He rushed into the dense forest in front of him, which made his whole body excited.

  A hot current surged upward from the soles of the feet, and an inexplicable force was added to the body.

  He plunged headlong into the dense forest without sparing any physical strength, but only after entering the dense forest did he realize that he didn't know which way Jielongnan was going.

  He Boqiang paused for a moment in a daze, then turned to the west side of the forest farm and touched it. He heard from Suldak that the valley mountain road was west of the forest farm.

A large leaf with countless jagged edges passed across his face, drawing a line of blood on his face. This kind of leaf contains toxins that stimulate sensory nerves, so the tiny wound on his face is particularly painful. pain.

   Stepping on the soft leaf rot in the woodland, the woodland is very humid, and it seems that water can be stepped on with every foot.

  Some insects will come out of the rotten leaves and run away...

  He Boqiang took a deep breath, resisted the discomfort in his stomach, wiped his face hard, and chased straight to the west side of the forest farm.
