The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel
Chapter 819: The Mountain of Bones 28
The night passed.
When the sun rose from the horizon on January 25th, there was not a single cloud in the clear and bright sky. Under the reflection of the brilliant rays of light, by a little after eight o'clock, the towering peaks were already covered with a layer of golden film, and the white snow reflected brilliant light in the sun, which even hurt the eyes of the Gothic soldiers hiding in secluded areas when they looked up at the snow-capped mountains.
The sun was shining brightly and the blue sky was undoubtedly a good sight. The soldiers psychologically felt as if their bodies were getting warmer, but when the exposed skin was blown by the wind, the biting cold still made their teeth tremble.
The snow is melting under the sunlight, which means the temperature will continue to drop, but as long as there are a few more sunny days, the temperature in the mountains will slowly rise. The soldiers hiding in the dark valleys and caves in the dense forests are looking forward to it.
Colonel Sylvie and a troop were lying in ambush in an area called "Pine Forest Stream". This was a pine forest growing on a slope, and below the slope was a turbulent river. They had been ordered to ambush here for several days. Although they had not yet fought with the enemy, the harsh environment had already made them physically and mentally exhausted, and the night just past had tortured them enough.
During the day yesterday, the Yan people had already entered the mountains and then rushed to various places in the mountains. Sylvie knew that the enemy was investigating the mountain environment, and Songlinjian was only a few kilometers away from the entrance to the mountain. If the enemy's investigation was quick, it would not take long for them to find Songlinjian.
For this reason, he had been on high alert, just waiting for the enemy to appear in sight so that he could command his soldiers to launch an attack, but this moment was never coming.
The less the enemy showed up, the more nervous Sylvie became, because it meant that the enemy was extremely cautious. The slower and more careful their reconnaissance was, the more nervous they were. This kept Sylvie almost awake all night, for fear that the enemy would sneak here at night.
"Oh, this damn weather, my bones are freezing."
"What a smart move. Let us stay here, haha."
The sudden complaint attracted Sylvie's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sturdy man curled up and trembling in a haystack of pine needles and weeds under the shadow of a pine tree not far away.
Sylvie's brows gradually frowned. The man's complaints were full of strong dissatisfaction, and Sylvie had heard such complaints too many times last night.
He endured it and ignored it, just stayed quietly in the haystack without moving, and cast his eyes to the main road in the distance. The main road was below the pine forest. If the enemy took that main road, they could immediately launch an attack while hiding on the high slope.
However, it seems that the Yan people will not take the main road directly. They are sneaking in the mountains and will definitely eliminate the danger before letting the main force take this main road.
And what they are doing now cannot be called an ambush in the dark. As long as the Yan people investigate carefully, they will definitely find this place. Sylvie has a premonition that a sudden encounter will surely take place next.
This encounter was unavoidable. Songlinjian was a geographically advantageous place for our side. Fighting with the enemy here allowed us to fully utilize the geographical advantage. Therefore, we could not retreat. Even though this was an open card, we had to play it.
Once they encounter each other, if their side strikes first, they will definitely take the initiative. Therefore, everyone must not reveal their position before fighting, but must wait until the Yan people appear in their sight first.
"Oh my God, who can stand this?"
"We won't have to wait until those damn Yan people come, or we'll freeze to death."
The complaints came again, and Sylvie gritted her teeth in endurance, anger brewing in her heart.
“It’s so cold…”
Along with another complaint, the sound of rustling reached Sylvie's ears. He turned his head quickly and saw the man turning over the haystack, putting the gun on his back, and then stamping his feet and rubbing his hands.
Sylvie raised her eyebrows and growled:
"What are you doing?! Go back to your seat!"
"Sir, my hands are almost frozen and I can't even pull the trigger. I need to get some sun to warm up my body."
The man had a lazy look on his face, and as he spoke he walked towards an exposed rock in the woods. There were no pine trees near the rock, so the sunlight shone directly on the rock, making it glow with golden light and appear to be burning hot.
Seeing the man's indifferent attitude, Sylvie's forehead veins bulged and she continued to growl:
"Tachino! You fool! Stay at your place and don't go anywhere!"
The man was none other than Tachino. After following the Fourth Army into the mountains, he was temporarily assigned by Zoye to Sylvie's troops. Zoye then ordered Sylvie to ambush with his troops in Songlinjian. As one of the members, Tachino had to follow the troops here although he was very reluctant.
And now, after hearing Sylvie's scolding, Tachino couldn't help but roll his eyes and said:
"Sir, it's a rare sunny day today. We should take advantage of this time to bask in the sun and warm ourselves up. If we continue to hide under the dark pine trees, we will freeze to death."
"Sir, look up. Even this guy knows it's time to get out and move around." As he spoke, Tachino pointed at the pine tree above Sylvie's head. On the trunk was a red-bellied squirrel, looking around.
After Tachino finished speaking, the soldiers hiding in other places began to get restless, and Sylvie also heard a small commotion coming from the surroundings.
This made his chest boil with anger, and before he knew it, his body was slowly warming up.
"Get back here right now! The Yan people are searching in the mountains. Do you want to be shot to death by them?!" Sylvie gritted her teeth and shouted.
If the Yan people did not search here at night, then they would definitely speed up during the day when the temperature is higher and the visibility is better. So now is the critical moment. If everyone runs from their hiding places to open areas to bask in the sun, it would simply be an act of seeking death.
Not only will you be courting death, but you will also expose others!
Sylvie knew that his subordinates would never do such a stupid thing, but this temporary member, Tachino, was incredibly stupid. If the situation had not forced him to unite all available manpower, he should have shot the fool to death last night.
"How is that possible? Sir, we are on a slope, and we are at an upper position. If the Yan people came over, the lookouts would have seen them long ago, and they would have sent a signal to alert us."
"You don't have to worry about my safety. If I don't warm up my body, I'll freeze to death without any bullets."
Tachino waved his hand casually and continued walking towards the rock.
This made Sylvie so angry that his chest almost exploded. His face turned red immediately and he clenched the gun in his hand.
