Chapter 1: Defeated Army

"What a tragedy..."

"Yes, it is said that less than one-fifth of the people returning from the [Central Battle]... Even [Pupil Eater] has lost more than three-quarters. This battle against the Northern Alliance can be said to be a failure!"

Many people in a slightly larger town are standing on both sides of the street at this moment, watching the slowly moving team in the middle of the road and talking.

"..."

It's really noisy.

The teenager was wearing a dark military uniform and lying on a cart of supplies pulled by him. He couldn't help thinking depressedly.

The originally sultry weather has made him feel a little irritable. The dark military uniforms are easier to absorb heat and make people feel sultry. At this time, the people's comments make the teenager's mood more irritable.

Now it has entered June, and it will be autumn in a while. Recently, the weather feels very sultry. There may be heavy rain recently.

The teenager lying on the material slowly thought.

"Loss three-quarters? That means that only more than 100 of the 400 [pupil eaters] we sent to the front line came back?

One of them looked very surprised and seemed to be questioning whether his companion's message was accurate.

"Yes, besides, our ordinary army has gone to four regiments, but you see, the number of people coming back is less than one regiment..."

A man standing beside him couldn't help sighing and said worriedly.

"We were originally on the front line, but we lost more than half of our troops after the [Central Battle]. What should we do?"

"It is said that the king has issued the latest recruitment order... But how many soldiers can we gather in our small country with a population of only 100,000... No, soldiers are not important. The key is [Pupil Eaters]. If there are not a large number of powerful [Pupil Eaters], it will be completely meaningless!"

"But... But there is also good news, right? Almost all of our elite [Pupil Eaters] are back, right? That is to say, the foundation is still there, and the legendary [Yinbaiji] seems to have appeared on the battlefield, but so far it is not clear whether [Yinbaiji] is a member of our national army or not..."

"It's not wrong to say so, but without a large number of [pupil eaters], what's the use of having a small number of elites? Moreover, there are also many elites who were killed in the central battle. Even if it is [Silver White Girl], it is impossible to match a thousand [Pupil Eaters], right?

The more people watching the team are moving forward, and the discussion between them is getting louder and louder, but most of them are worried about the future of the country, which can't help but make him feel more irritable as a member of this team.

"It's so annoying..."

Bingyuan listened to the comments next to the street, couldn't help sighing and couldn't help saying.

"There is nothing we can do. After all, we are on the front line. The defeat of the [Central Battle] is bad news for our country, and the people are naturally panicked."

The blonde girl driving the horse in front of Bingyuan smiled awkwardly and looked back at Bingyuan and said slowly.

Because there is no sunshine above the eyes now, and the girl is wearing a straw hat at this time, I can't see it clearly, but just seeing the lower half of the face makes people feel that the girl in front of her is a beautiful girl, and she is definitely an extraordinary temperament.

"It's true..."

Bingyuan sighed again and looked up at the sky with dark clouds and no sunshine at all.

"It looks like it's going to rain. It seems that the weather will get cooler these days... Is it a moment of silence for us?"

Bingyuan closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened three months ago. He couldn't help saying with a sad tone.

“...... Maybe, but it's all over. I hope the three of them can rest in peace. Are you all right?

With that, the girl looked at Bingyuan's right hand, which had been trembling slightly, and said.

"There will be ghosts if it's okay, but the side effects are almost over. Don't worry."

The ice source returns.

"I know."

The blonde girl sighed, but she seemed to recall some bad things, so she didn't say anything and silently turned her body.

The team ignored the comments of the masses and just continued to move forward silently.

However, this team brings a heavy atmosphere.

The disabled soldiers supported each other and staggered forward. Most of the officers riding on the horse were also injured. The bandages of their arms, feet, heads, and even faintly oozed blood. The dark red condensed blood was scattered on their dark military uniforms. Most of the other soldiers were dejected. The listless look seems to tell people what war is and how cruelty is.

However, in such a team, there are some people who are different.

They just followed the team silently, but their faces did not appear sad like other ordinary soldiers, but... It gives people a strong sense of war and hatred for revenge.

These people are not simple.

This is the first thought for all onlookers to see these people.

This is them.

The team of [Pupil Eater].

They were born for the war and died because of the war.

"We have arrived at the stronghold."

The team soon left the town and went to a barracks on the outskirts of the town. After verification, the soldiers guarding outside the barracks were released, allowing the pathetic team to enter the barracks.

The blonde girl who was originally riding on the horse had fallen to the ground at this time. She came to his side and pushed the ice source that was about to fall asleep.

"I know."

Bingyuan rubbed his eyes, picked up his luggage with one hand, turned over the carriage, and stayed in place with the girl, as if waiting for someone to receive them.

After entering the barracks, the disabled soldiers were quickly taken to some barracks to rest, while the sound soldiers stayed on standby, waiting for people to lead them to the new team to report.

The team that most people originally belonged to here has been disorganized and ready to be reorganized. To say something unpleasant... That is, the original troops are close to total annihilation.

Now in this team, there are basically scattered soldiers.

"Is it really okay? It has been going on for two months."

When the girl was a little annoyed, she looked at Bingyuan's right hand hidden behind her again and said.

"It's said that everything is fine. The side effects are almost over, but there is still a short period of time."

Bingyuan shook his head and replied.

"I see... But pay attention to it next time, otherwise the body will be ruined.

The girl nodded and said.

"Is it Lieutenant Bingyuan's first lieutenant and Mengchuan Youxiang's first lieutenant?"

After waiting in place for a long time, a girl wearing glasses, like a civil official, finally ran over. After a moment of hesitation, she asked Bingyuan and the blonde girl.

"Yes."

"That's right."

Bingyuan and the girl named Mengchuan Youxiang nodded and said.

"Real... What an honor! How can you see [Golden Blue's Battle] and [Gold and Silver's Hunter]!"

After confirming the names of the two, the girl was actually excited. She looked as excited as an underage girl who saw the long-awaited idol, which made Bingyuan and the girl a little puzzled.

"Don't be excited. Can you take us to the barracks to report first?"

Bingyuan looked at the girl who was inexplicably excited in front of him and asked.

"There is no... No problem, sir! I'm Sergeant Zhou Yi! It's the receptionist of the two officers this time. Please follow me to report in the barracks!"

The girl hurriedly saluted Bingyuan and Youxiang, then turned around and began to lead the way for them.

"What a lovely child."

After Bingyuan gave her a salute, he smiled and looked at the girl named Zhou Yi in front of him and said to Mengchuan next to him.

"Oh... I can't help but feel relaxed."

Youxiang, who is slightly shorter than Bingyuan, also took a bag of luggage and walked side by side on the road with Bingyuan. After seeing Zhou Yi's performance, he couldn't help smiling and said.

After experiencing a cruel war, if you can see such a simple performance, no one will feel relaxed.

"Please come in!"

Sultan after, Bingyuan and Youxiang followed Zhou Yi to a room. Zhou Yi quickly opened the door, walked in and said respectfully to the two.

"..."

After the two were stunned for a moment. Then he followed Zhou Yi in.

Zhou Yi first walked in and sat behind the desk in the middle of the room, and there was a pile of information on the table.

"Please sit down, two officers."

And at the desk, there are just two chairs for Bingyuan and Youxiang to sit down and rest.

"First of all, confirm the information again, Bingyuan, enlisted in the army in 458, 20 years old this year. Originally directly under the Nomars Ninth [Pupil Eater] Brigade, he served as the captain of the third team. At present, he is a first-class lieutenant. He has experienced major battles such as [Battle of Navis], [Luo Feng Encounter] [Wixf Counterattack], and his achievements are outstanding. The latest battle is [Battle of the Central].

The girl read the information and looked at Bingyuan and said.
