Chapter 259: Ma Ta Company Camp (4)

"Hawu..."

A round-faced soldier holding a rigid crossbow yawned loudly, and then looked around.

After confirming that his commander was no longer around, the round-faced soldier rested his head toward his companion with a square face who was also holding a hard crossbow.

"I'm so sleepy." The round-faced soldier said to the square-faced soldier, "How long until the shift changes?"

After hearing what the round-faced soldier said, the square-faced soldier showed a wry smile, then raised his head and looked above his head.

It is a cloudy day tonight, so the sky and the earth are blocked by thick clouds, and the moon and stars in the sky cannot be seen.

Therefore, this square-faced soldier had no way to judge what time it was based on the position of the moon in the sky.

They are just ordinary soldiers. Pocket watches are a kind of luxury goods in this world. Of course, these ordinary soldiers who rely on military pay cannot afford them.

Even if they could afford it, they wouldn't take it to the battlefield. They would definitely keep it at home and offer it like heirlooms.

"I don't know what time it is now..." The square-faced soldier smiled bitterly and said to the round-faced soldier, "But it should be soon. We have been standing guard here for a long time."

"Hawu..."

The round-faced soldier yawned loudly again, and then said in a helpless tone:

"Hurry up and change your shift... I'm so sleepy..."

Having said this, the round-faced soldier suddenly paused, and then said in a somewhat joyful tone:

"Luckily, tonight is also a quiet night."

"Well, yes."

The square-faced soldier nodded with deep understanding, and then said:

"I really hope that it can always be so quiet no matter day or night, and keep this quiet until the end of the war."

As soon as the square-faced soldier finished speaking, the round-faced soldier said in a melancholy tone:

"I really don't know how long this war will last... The damn Britannians launched the 'Spring Awakening' offensive and captured our northern defense line and a large area of ​​northern territory. Not content with that, they went so far as to Launched a 'Summer Wind' offensive and moved further south to attack, are these Britannians determined to destroy our country before they give up?"

"Sigh... This issue is not something that ordinary soldiers like us should consider. We should still stand guard and be vigilant... huh?"

Before the square-faced soldier finished speaking, he suddenly said "hmm", then his eyes sharpened and his brows furrowed.

"Hey... did you hear any strange noises?"

"Um."

The round-faced soldier also had a sharp look and frowned at this time.

"I heard it too."

The two of them just heard some strange sounds at the same time.

It seemed like the sound of many people shouting and cheering together.

Just after the two heard this strange sound, they heard some strange and familiar sounds.

——It was like a thunderous sound.

The two of them held their breath and concentrated attentively, and began to listen carefully to the strange noise.

The two of them were surprised to find that the thunderous sound was getting louder.

"Huh? This is it?"

The square-faced soldier looked at a stone at his feet that suddenly began to tremble in astonishment.

Looking at the suddenly trembling rocks at his feet, the square-faced soldier suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Hey! Look!"

The round-faced soldier suddenly let out a loud shout to remind the square-faced soldier, and then pointed forward.

The square-faced soldier also looked in the direction pointed by the round-faced soldier's finger, and found that in front of the two of them, there was a large black thing approaching at an extremely fast speed in the direction of the two of them. With.

Although it was too dark to see what was approaching them, the square-faced soldier felt as if the blood in his body was freezing after seeing this large group of black things.

There were thunderous roars, rocks suddenly shaking, and black shadows approaching at great speed...

Put all this together, and no matter how stupid you are, you will realize what is happening.

The square-faced soldier now felt his sleepiness receding like a tide.

"Enemy attack!!! It's a large-scale enemy cavalry force!!!"

After the square-faced soldier let out a shrill cry at the top of his lungs, he immediately picked up the hard crossbow in his hand.

The round-faced soldier on the side also realized something at this time, so he shouted a surprise attack at the top of his lungs like the square-faced soldier, and then picked up the hard crossbow in his hand.

The hard crossbows in the hands of the two men were always in a cocked state. They could fire at any time as long as they pressed the trigger.

The two of them pointed the hard crossbows in their hands at the large group of black shadows approaching them at high speed, and then put their index fingers on the triggers.

When the two were about to pull the trigger, they heard a scalp-numbing sound of breaking wind.

Although it was dark around them, the two of them still saw rows of slender objects approaching them at great speed.

——It was one arrow after another.

The speed of the bow and arrow was very fast, and before the two of them had time to react, they felt severe pain from everywhere on their bodies.

——Everywhere on their bodies was filled with arrows.

"Well……"

The square-faced soldier endured the severe pain coming from his body.

A stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The round-faced soldier on the side had been killed by the wave of arrows just now, and an arrow shot directly into his eyebrow.

Before he could even let out a scream, his body trembled twice, and then he fell to the ground and died.

Although the square-faced soldier was not killed in one blow like the round-faced soldier, the arrows also severely damaged various vital parts of his body.

——Death is only a matter of time.

Feeling the rapid passing of life force in his body and the increasingly blurred consciousness in his mind, a ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the square-faced soldier.

Since I'm dead...then I have to drag someone to die with me no matter what!

The square-faced soldier roared in his heart, while using up the last strength in his body, he transferred all the strength to his right index finger.

Everyone is fine, just die with me!

The square-faced soldier roared in his heart for what might be the last time in his life, and then fiercely pulled the trigger.

However, just when the square-faced soldier's right index finger was about to pull the trigger and launch the arrow on the hard crossbow in his hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

This large group of "dark things" had already approached the square-faced soldier.

——Just as the square-faced soldier had just expected, it was a large-scale cavalry unit.

The leader of this cavalry unit waved the spear in his hand directly after he rushed to the square-faced soldier.

The galloping war horse under his crotch brought great kinetic energy.

With the help of this huge kinetic energy, the gun head slammed into the chest of the square-faced soldier.

The huge force generated by the impact caused the gun barrel to suddenly bend into a bow shape.

The square-faced soldier was lifted directly off the ground.

"Well……"

After being lifted directly off the ground by the spear, the square-faced soldier groaned in pain.

After the square-faced soldier was lifted off the ground, the originally bent gun barrel suddenly straightened, and all the power accumulated in the gun barrel was released.

——The square-faced soldier was ejected directly, showering with blood.

The square-faced soldier who was thrown into the air felt that all the bones in his chest were shattered by the cavalryman's blow.

He was no longer able to hold the hard crossbow in his hand.

Until the last moment, he didn't have time to launch the arrow in his hand.

The last sight of the square-faced soldier in his life was the face of the cavalryman who had used his spear to fly him away.

——That was a cute little girl who was riding on a war horse and covered with armor.

She has black hair and golden eyes.

Her silky black hair was beautifully tied up with a golden ribbon.

There were countless cavalry troops, closely following her, pressing over her with overwhelming momentum.

And she was riding majestically on her war horse, waving the spear in her hand, and the cloak tied behind her back whirring in the night wind.

——This heroic figure looks like a Valkyrie!
