Chapter 60 Backup Plan(2/2)
"It's me." Lieutenant Mason's voice.
Winters breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the steel nails back into the arm guard: "What's wrong with your face?"
"Don't mention it." Mason covered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
"Not really." Winters was so thirsty that he became hoarse. He said angrily: "When he didn't find us, he would find an opportunity to retreat quickly. If he didn't retreat, he would starve to death."
"Guh, Guh" sounds came from Winters' abdomen, especially clear in the quiet night.
Mason looked at Winters, and he obviously heard it.
The Jeska Brigade was dispatched in combat and brought nothing but weapons and ammunition. Only the soldiers carried food and drink with them.
The continuous march and an encounter were all hungry, and everyone was pressed against the back.
"Brother [Winters], I have something to eat." Charles took out dry food and water bags from his arms: "And there is water."
Before Shire could completely change his words and when there were no one else around him, he would occasionally call him brother like he did when he was a child.
There was also human body temperature on the dry food and water bags, and the food and drink that everyone carried with them had long disappeared - Winters knew very well, but Charles had left these without eating or drinking all the way.
Winters licked his dry lips, pulled the water bag and took a sip. After moistening his throat a little, he handed the dry food and water bag back to Charles: "I'm too hungry, but I feel uncomfortable eating."
"Don't you eat? That's a good relationship." Senior Mason was very happy and reached out to take the water bag: "Give me some."
Winters angrily pressed his food and drink under him: "I changed my mind!"
"Don't be so stingy."
"Do you still have the face to say it?"
"I didn't mean it... I couldn't see the stars at night, how can I tell the direction?" Mason felt very aggrieved.
[Note: Today is cloudy, west wind - the part of the Sekler tribe formation in the Daqian chapter mentioned the weather]
Winters sighed helplessly and stuffed food and drink to his senior. He said with great distress: "Don't eat and drink all of it."
"Yeah, yeah." Mason grabbed the water bag and took a big mouthful.
Winters, who was beside him, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and he focused his attention on the retreat: "This slope is not high enough, you have to find a higher place. As long as you can see Bian Li, we can determine the direction."
"Yeah, yeah." Mason broke off another piece of dry bread.
The North Star is blocked by clouds and cannot be distinguished by star viewing. It is dark in the night, and it is not realistic to determine the location by markers such as big trees and stones.
Only by relying on more obvious landmarks, Bianli City located on the highlands is the best indicator. You can confirm the south by seeing Bianli.
After filming the others around him, Winters signaled to retreat: "Let's go, just leave someone here."
Two "cry,cry" sounds came from my side.
The low voice can be integrated into the background sound of the wasteland, but these two "crystalkers" cannot be concealed by any means.
In an instant, all the hairs on Winters' back stood up.
Senior Mason, who made the noise, was also stiff all over his body, and half a piece of dry noodles was contained in his mouth and he didn't dare to chew it anymore.
It doesn't matter, as long as no one notices it, Winters tried his best to comfort himself.
“[Herd] Who is there!”
This is definitely the last sound that Winters wants to hear in his life.
Someone was walking towards this side, and the rough male voice once again asked in strange language, "Which [Herd]?"
Winters took out the steel nail and patted the person next to him on the shoulder.
A figure emerged from the dead grass: "[Herd] me."
The Hurd sentry, who was patrolling here, was so shocked that he pulled out the scimitar. He saw the armor worn by the other party and inserted the knife back into the scabbard: "[Hed] What are you doing?"
“[Herd] release water.”
"[Herd] Which one are you from?" The Hurd Sentinel was a little suspicious: "[Herd] What are you doing when you run away when you pee?"
The other party's voice was very young, but he spoke very badly: "[Hed] Do you care? Idiot, be careful with yourself!"
Hurd Sentinel was furious and walked towards the other party: "[Hard] You have no father to teach you! I must teach you a good lesson today!"
The next moment, Hurd's sentry only saw a flash of cold light and his consciousness was annihilated.
The first steel nail hit the sentry's forehead, the second and third hit the head, and the sentry couldn't die again.
With three consecutive shots of unreserved flying arrows, Winters' phantom pain hurts like his whole body being squeezed into a small box.
He had muscle paralysis in his body for a moment and could not even speak.
But without him speaking, Charles and Bell had already rushed to the sentry's corpse, held it before the corpse fell, and gently placed it on the ground.
The little hunter is wearing a full set of Hedzaga, which is Winters backup plan.
"Go away quickly." The phantom pain came quickly and went quickly. Winters, who had recovered his ability to move, immediately took his people back into the valley.
The sound of steel nails piercing through the skull is also harsh, and it may not be noticed by more Heds.
The four of them lay on the back slope and held their breath and listened quietly, waiting for the other sentries to come.
There was no movement, it seemed that no one noticed it.
The few people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Winters patted the little hunter on the shoulder, and he didn't know what to say.
He didn't know what the little hunter thought of other Hudders, enemies, tribe members, and he could only let the little hunter solve it himself.
Suddenly, the Heard Camp in the distance was awakened.
First, there were a few shouts, then the voices of people, horse neighing, and weapons colliding together.
"Discovered!" Charles glared at Lieutenant Mason in anger.
Winters immediately ordered: "Go and find Lieutenant Colonel!"
The little hunter got up and went to send a message.
The sound of horse hooves began to sound, and more and more horse hooves were sounding, and the Hud cavalry was preparing.
"Wait?" Mason listened and frowned: "It's not such a big battle, right?"
Winters quickly climbed to the top of the hillside, and the Heard Camp in the distance was brightly lit, and bonfires were lit.
The Hurd cavalry all held torches, like a river of fire. However, the river of fire did not rush towards Winters, but was speeding further away, not knowing who to fight with.
"The Hurds moved!" Winters laughed and punched Mason hard: "You are so lucky!"
