Steel steam and flame

As cannon fodder, or as someone else's subordinate, before Shanerna came here with the large army. Bai Bella and the three of them knew this very well, but seeing Shan Erna coming here, they felt somewhat confident, at least they would no longer be manipulated at will like the others. But I must not be reconciled to it. Every year, the school's assessment is based on the family or those big forces who use it as a reference.

A very convincing basis can be seen from the number of deaths in each assessment. The three of them are not very strong to begin with. Without the subsequent accumulation of a large amount of resources, the growth of their own strength will become slower and slower. Although I can't say that my life will completely stop because of this, compared to people like Shan Erna, the gap in growth rate will definitely become wider and wider. Soon, they will be on a completely different level.

Bai Bella felt a little aggrieved, and also had a deep sense of loss and frustration. But she didn't dare to muster the courage to follow the traces and catch up with the team. Frey and Riel standing behind her probably had the same idea.

"Tsk..." Riel turned on a lighter with a golden skull, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and relaxed his whole body. When the brigade was here, Shanerna was very strict and she would never do anything that might expose herself. Riel was used to smoking and had been smoking for a long time, and now he finally had a chance.

"Go back." Bai Bella said dryly, with a bitter taste in her mouth and a sigh in her heart. Seeing that his teammates are such lazy and relaxed people, I had all the thoughts of chasing the team just now, but now I have given up all the thoughts. "It's better to go back. In our current situation, we would have died in the past. And we were not the only three people waiting to be evacuated by the airship. There were still many people who ran back on the way."

Comforting themselves in their hearts, the three of them took their equipment and headed towards the snowy peak. There are quite a few people at the gathering place. Those who know their strength during the mission and do not want to take any more risks or lose their lives will never be a minority. A few people are often people like Shanerna. In the school, there are only a few students in each period. In families, it's the same situation.

,,,,,,

When Shan Erna followed the large army to the woods, the encirclement and suppression team had already evacuated the location that had been bombarded by artillery, and ran over to join them. The number of more than a hundred people was reduced to double digits in a very short period of time, and a large number of corpses were left on the spot without enough time to deal with them. The living people also suffered injuries of varying degrees. The shrapnel was embedded in the muscles. They could feel pain even if they moved a little and could no longer move flexibly.

The situation is worse than Shanerna and the others imagined. I thought they could better avoid the artillery bombardment, but now it seems that they have overestimated the strength of these people. The fact that the woods cover most of the field of view is a reason that cannot be ignored, but it cannot be an excuse. After listening to the commander's report, they learned that many of them were injured by steel-cased bombs, and they felt helpless about such an avoidable incident.

"Let's go over and check the area first to see the specific situation. The enemy will be close to here soon. The night is slightly more beneficial to us. If we don't delay the time until dawn, I hope we can eliminate all the enemies tonight. That The Major is in there, and it’s good stuff for earning points and reviews.”

"It's a good thing to have prey, but I hope everyone will cooperate with me next. After all, the enemies have gathered, so killing them all first is the right choice, right?" It was the same female voice, standing on the outside of the team. , followed by many people. It may be his original subordinates, or teammates recruited based on his strength. "At the beginning, there were many of us, but now, there are no longer a few who are killed by prey. Everyone has ideas in their hearts. I hope that at this time, everyone It would be nice if you could take care of others a little bit."

The entire noisy team fell silent in an instant. No one answered her words, and she was left alone there for some reason, smiling happily.

After a while, Shanerna glanced at the woman, and then asked the team to go to the previous place to prepare to meet the enemy. In the dark night, knowing that the enemy's main force was not far away from them, they did not dare to fight in the same crushing way as against an enemy team. As long as a careful fire network is arranged in advance and the formation of the enemy is encircled and suppressed like that just now, a bunch of bullets may fall down in large numbers.

The flames on the ground have been extinguished, but the gentle wind has not yet blown away the smell of gunpowder smoke. Large chunks of snow changed color, turning into a dull black-red. The bodies were gathered together, except for a few that were put into body bags and hidden under the snow. Everyone else was thrown into the big hole.

"I really want to go shopping when I have time. The lowest level of processing machines loaded on such a large airship starts with the analytical machine. Looking at it like this, I think the things inside have not been completely disassembled. Maybe Even the energy devices are still intact." When Shanerna and the others rushed over, apart from the corpses, this big hole was the most eye-catching thing. As a member of the team who was proficient in communication equipment, the man said this after judging that this was an enemy airship.

"There will be a chance." Shan Erna, who was standing aside, withdrew her gaze from the tree trunk. She was looking at the effect of the shot not long ago. It was as perfect as she imagined. The only shortcomings were that it didn't hit the enemy and there were some small deviations in the position.

"A captain?" the man asked just now, following Shan Erna's sight remaining in the air, and also glanced at the round passage that ran through the ancient tree.

Shanerna shook her head, looked at the direction where the artillery bombardment just came, and said, "I don't know. Based on the information you collected, I think there should be only one captain in a team. Maybe he is just a lieutenant, or a second lieutenant."

The others quickly cleaned up the corpses and were now arranging the team, taking into account the terrain, and arranging reasonable and simple tactics to deal with the next impact from the enemy.

Shan Erna and the man were standing on the edge of the artillery bombardment site, looking at the hideous scar in the snow that could not be filled up in a short time, and calculating something in their hearts.

"What do you think? You are the best here at collecting information." Shan Erna asked calmly.

"I don't know. This has nothing to do with information collection. It's okay to have a communication machine as a medium. You can't tell much from a patch of snow." The man did not answer directly, "He is a young man. I feel that he is the same as us. It’s the same. Far away in another place, on that front, didn’t other people encounter the same situation and the same people?”
