"Sir, don't be impulsive. The gunshot will expose our position." The adjutant who had been following Sylvie hurriedly dissuaded him when he saw him holding a gun.

Sylvie rolled his eyes and said, "Would I be that stupid?" Then he whispered to Tachino:

"Come here quickly, I have an important task for you!"

When Tachino turned around, he saw Sylvie's flushed face, which made his heart skip a beat, but he still walked over slowly.

When Tachino came to his side, Sylvie suddenly got angry, dragged him to the ground, pressed his knee tightly against his chest, and growled:

"You idiot, if you dare to disobey orders and act on your own again, I will kill you immediately!"

Hearing this, and looking at Sylvie's epaulettes, Tachino suddenly felt angry and said in a low voice:

"Humph, are you going to vent your anger on me? You should be venting your anger on the Yan people, not on me."

"We shouldn't have stayed here at all. This is a wrong decision. Don't you see what the others look like now? We should leave here as soon as possible."

"Shut up! You idiot!" Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Sylvie couldn't help but push Tachino hard in the chest.

Tachino howled uncontrollably, and the soldiers beside the two men quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't scream!" Sylvie warned angrily.

Tachino gradually calmed down, and the soldier loosened his hand, but then Tachino said sadly:

"Sir, I am telling the truth. An ambush here is not a wise move. Can't you see how strong the Yan people are?"

"Do I need you to remind me?! You idiot?! What you should do is to fulfill your military duties instead of sighing here. How did a guy like you get into the barracks in the first place? You should be at home taking care of your mother!" Sylvie shouted angrily.

Tachino curled his lips and thought to himself, I do want to go home immediately, but can you allow me to leave the team now?

He thought about it, but he didn't dare to say it out loud to anger Sylvie. After all, who of the people around him was crazy? They didn't seem to care about their lives at all. They just wanted to kill more Yan people, but could such a thing be done easily?

Even though they are lunatics, in Tachino's opinion, the Yan people are even crazier. When they attacked the military base before, they attacked almost without caring about casualties, and no one knew how many people died. But even so, they still took down the military base. Fighting with such a group of lunatics, it is only a matter of time before they die on the battlefield.

The wisest choice should be to avoid fighting, rather than thinking about continuing to fight with them. However, those guys led by Dinger are very confident, as if they can definitely defeat the Yan people here. Don’t they know that the consequence of not winning is that more people will die here?

It’s none of Tachino’s business whether other people care about their lives or not, but he doesn’t want to die here.

Thinking of this, Tachino couldn't help but admonish: "Sir, you really need to think about it carefully."

"If the Yan people want to lead a large army deep into the mountains, they will have to take the Cornflower Avenue. We are not far from the main road. The Cornflower Avenue passes through the river below. As long as we completely destroy the road there, the Yan people will have to choose those remote and difficult paths to bypass. Their marching speed will be greatly slowed down, and their troops will have to be dispersed."

"This way, we won't be in danger and can evacuate calmly."

"What do you say, sir? Isn't this a better tactic?"

After hearing this, Sylvie was almost laughing out of anger, but she still said with a straight face: "If we want to evacuate, we should just block the road into the mountain from the beginning, but we didn't do that. Why do you think that is?"

Tachino, who was still being pinned down, couldn't help but sigh: "So I felt that we were wrong from the beginning. We should have decisively blocked the road and prevented them from entering the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp "slap" sound. Sylvie, who could no longer bear it, slapped Tachino in the face and said angrily: "You idiot, this is the best battlefield for us to defeat them!"

"But you, a weakling, only want to evacuate. Where do you want to evacuate to? To Bocamia Province? Or to Salvia? Or hide in bed and pretend nothing happened? Don't care about the Yan people who entered the country?"

"Once the Enzo Mountains are controlled by the Yan people, when will Suenham be able to retake them? Do you want the Yan people to wreak havoc in our country for a few years?"

The series of questions made Tachino blush, and he quickly retorted: "How could that be, sir, we can..."

"What can you do?! What other good ideas can you come up with?" Looking at Tachino's stupid look, Sylvie finally laughed out of anger.

"Maybe...or...anyway, we can slowly think of a solution..." Tachino stuttered. In fact, he didn't think so much. He just wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and hide as far away from the Yan people as possible.

"I think you want to surrender! You're such a wimp! You've grown so tall for nothing!" Sylvie pressed her knees harder and spitted all over Tachino's face.

Tachino was almost unable to breathe because of the pressure. He gasped and said, "Sir, you misunderstood me. I never thought about it this way."

"As a Goth, I will never surrender!"

"But sir, could you please move your feet first? I can't breathe."

Sylvie glared at him, but still loosened her knees and scolded:

"Humph! You'd better! If you ever think of surrendering, I'll send you a bullet before the Yan people kill you!"

"Once we have wiped out the Yan people, you can hang on the beams like a sausage and bask in the sun for a whole year, and I will never care about you!"

"And now, get back to your post!"

Tachino stood up slowly, and the surroundings began to hear suppressed laughter. The soldiers heard the conversation just now, and they were all amused by Sylvie's last wonderful metaphor. This was a rare moment to lighten the heavy atmosphere, and some people even felt relieved at this moment.

However, Tachino's face turned red with shame, he scratched his hair dejectedly and walked under the pine tree.

Sylvie whispered to the people around her, "Okay, boys, keep quiet. I don't want those bastards looking around in the mountains to hear what's going on here!"

The soldiers looked stern and gradually quieted down.

At this time, Tachino returned to the pine tree, squatted down, and held the spear on his back again. He leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes wandering, thinking about all kinds of things in his mind.

"Squeak."

The sudden cry brought Tachino back to his senses. He looked up and saw a red-bellied squirrel with an especially fluffy tail standing on a high branch. Its little head swayed from side to side, and its pitch-black eyes seemed to be looking around.

The sunlight shone on its fur, which was as smooth as silk, and even made it sparkle. Looking up from below, Tachino could see a fiery red patch on its belly.

"Squeak."

"Squeak."

The calls of the red-bellied squirrels became more and more urgent. And it was not just one squirrel. The calls gradually came from other pine trees. Tachino couldn't help but sigh:

“What a bunch of beautiful little guys.”

"I remember you can fly. Can you try flying?"

As if it understood what Tachino said, the one above his head suddenly jumped up from the tree branch.

The tiny limbs were all stretched out, the big fluffy tail floated in the air, the fully expanded body became much larger than usual, and the fiery red belly looked like a leaping fireball.

Tachino watched in amazement as the red-bellied squirrel flew to another tree and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Not only this one, all the red-bellied squirrels disappeared. They seemed to have returned to their nests, and there was no more rapid "squeaking" sound in the forest.

The huge pine forest suddenly became quiet at this moment, so quiet that Tachino could only hear the sound of flowing water in the river below the mountain.

The sunlight still shines clearly in the woods, sparsely filtering through the pine branches and staining the pine needle-covered ground with a mottled color. The breeze blows through the woods, and the light and shadows on the ground sway as well.

Listening to the sound of water and smelling the scent of pine trees, Tachino was a little intoxicated by this quiet scene, but at this moment, suddenly -

"Snapped!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

An extremely crisp and short strange sound came from an unknown direction. Tachino shuddered all over, and his eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards the sky that was exposed between the tree branches.

In the pure blue sky without a single cloud blocking it, some black spots suddenly appeared.
