The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Reserve soldiers and ordinary soldiers each took a map and went to the designated location in the forest separately.

Fernandi and Valk led a team of knights to stay in Paar Lake to protect Xia Zuoyi.

After arriving at the designated place.

Mike Andrew planted the small flag he was carrying on the ground, first sent people to familiarize himself with the road conditions from here to the valley, and then called the squad leaders of each squad to discuss how to snatch the other party's small flag.

However, before the strategy was finished, the two soldiers who went to the small valley to scout the terrain suddenly came back with serious expressions.

"Squad leader, something is not quite right."

Mike Andrew frowned: "What?"

The soldier said: "We found less obvious traces of activity around the small valley, and found this branch on the ground... I suspected that there might be another group of people in the valley, but I didn't dare to go too far because I was afraid of getting too close. Lean over."

It has just snowed heavily in the forest.

Whether it's the frost covering the treetops or the snow on the ground, it hasn't completely melted yet.

During this period of time, the dead grass and branches are the least likely to be ignited. Therefore, it is very unwise to go into the mountains without bringing some coal and fire oil.

The ends of the branches that the soldiers took out were scorched and dry, and when they got close to them and smelled them carefully, they could smell a slightly pungent smell.

As a slave, when he used to work for the manor owner, he often chopped wood and started a fire, and he could tell at a glance whether the wood was dry or wet.

The end of this branch is obviously the embodiment of being doused with fire oil and burned.

The soldiers could initially determine that there were people in the small valley.

Although I don't know whether it's an enemy or a friend, but choosing to enter Pa'er Mountain at this moment, I always feel malicious...

"What should we do? Squad leader, should we go back and inform Lord Edward before..."

Mike Andrew thought for a moment: "Send someone back to inform."

"The original rehearsal plan has been changed... They come to Pa'er Mountain at this time, no matter what the purpose is, they probably have no good intentions."

"The Earl is waiting by Lake Paal. Protecting the Earl's safety is the most important thing. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, we must first arrest the person."

The other squad leaders around looked at each other.

One of them said: "That is to say... we are likely to have a real fight with people... Are you going to kill people?!"

Mike Andrew: "Don't forget Lord Edward's admonition, when you take up a weapon, one day you will wave it down, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."

"If you can't drop your hand, you will be the one who dies."

The expressions of the other monitors gradually became firm.

Mike Andrew: "Let the people of the two squads follow me and lurk there carefully. After the investigation is confirmed, I will blow the bird whistle to signal your action, and send a message to the ordinary soldiers on the other side of the small valley."

"Yes, we understand."

A bird whistle is a short whistle made of wood.

While the whistle is blowing, adjust the push-pull rod in the middle by hand, and the tone produced will produce different changes in height and length, or high pitched and clear, or sharp and clear...It is very similar to the sound of a real bird.

The length is only half the palm size, very easy to carry.

Xia Zuoyi fiddled with the bird whistle, and used it as a secret signal in the army through different changes in tone.

In addition to the strengthening of various physical fitness, the soldier training camp also includes technical learning such as various reconnaissance and rapid rescue.

Bird whistle is one of them, currently only in the hands of each squad leader.

A reserve soldier quickly followed the original route back to Paal Lake, and reported the anomalies found around the small valley to Fernandi Edward.

at the same time.

Suddenly, there were sharp birdsongs at regular intervals in the forest, which were short and high-pitched.

Walker William said beside Xia Zuoyi: "This means no longer hiding, and starting an all-out attack."

"It seems that they have determined that the one hiding in the valley is the enemy."

"They don't have enough experience yet, Taylor, you and Bana go over and watch and give directions."

Taylor Kennedy and Barna Larry lead the way.

Xia Zuoyi: "Aren't you and Fernandi going?"

Walker William smiled and said, "My lord, the most important thing is to protect you in Paar Lake."

"And for the past three months, Fernandi and I have been training them hard every day, and now it's time to check the results. After all, the soldier training camp shouldn't raise some useless people."

Although he strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry in his bones, because he is of noble origin and has an older brother who is not very close, if he fails in anything he will be eliminated, and success is the only way out.

Most of the time, the smile on his face is a disguise, but in fact, there is an unknown indifference hidden in his heart.

Compared with him, Fernandi Edward was regarded as the same person.

I don't know how long it has passed, another long whistle of Qingyue bird sounded.

Fernandi Edward said in a deep voice, "The battle is over."

Xia Zuoyi: "Let's go and have a look."

"Yes, Lord Count."

The narrow valley in the forest is slightly steeper than the big valley where Paal Lake is located. It is full of messy boulders and rocks, and the ground is relatively desolate.

The snow in the small valley was trampled in a mess, mixed with scarlet blood, and the air was filled with a pungent bloody smell that had not completely dissipated. Many corpses were lying on the ground, and large swords or scimitars were scattered nearby.

Xia Zuoyi wrinkled her little nose, and waved her hands uncomfortably.

"What about our casualties?"

Taylor Kennedy couldn't help showing joy on his face, and replied: "My lord, only a small number of soldiers in the training camp were slightly injured, and none of them died."

It can only be said that the balance of victory is already heavily on their side.

First, two soldiers came across something strange when they went to the small valley to investigate the terrain.

Later, Mike Andrew made a decisive decision. After confirming the enemy's situation, he immediately blew the bird whistle. The ordinary soldiers reacted quickly and cooperated with him tacitly.

A smile appeared on Xia Zuoyi's small face: "That's right, I will definitely reward the soldiers who have done meritorious service when I go back."

"Who sent them? Did you tell me the truth?"

Taylor Kennedy: "A dozen people have been captured, no torture yet."

Xia Zuoyi: "Fernandi, Walker, I will leave the dozen or so people to you two."

"Interrogate one by one, and be sure to find out who is instigating and wanting my life behind the scenes."

"Yes, Lord Earl." The two said in unison.

After Fernandi and Walker took orders to leave.

Xia Zuoyi lowered his head and rubbed against jiojio, the remaining snow on the ground was kicked away by him, revealing a soil layer that was darker than the outside of the valley, accompanied by small particles.

He seemed to be interested, kicked away all the snow around him, and walked towards the edge of the valley.

"Judit, let's go over there and have a look."

Judit naturally followed behind without any objection.

How detailed is the natural asphalt mine map given by the system? A three-dimensional topographic map of the valley is specially drawn, and it is marked on it where the weakest ore veins can be found and the most easily excavated place.

The place Xia Zuoyi was going to was a part of the mountain wall that was partially covered by a broken rock that extended slightly inward.

Going further inside is like a cave, but the cave is so narrow that only one person can pass through it.

As soon as he walked to the periphery of the broken rock, he saw a few black solids scattered on the ground, all the size of half a fist, and irregular in shape. A casual glance would only be regarded as something like a stone.

Xia Zuoyi felt hot and excited in her heart.

This is natural asphalt. If it is subdivided, it should be rock asphalt in natural asphalt.

He said in his heart: "Total, 098."

[Host, 098 will serve you wholeheartedly. 】

Xia Zuoyi: "What is the scope of the gift?"

"According to the position I am in at the moment, can the gift be placed in the innermost part of the cave?"

[Yes, host, are you sure you want 098 to deliver the gift now? 】

"determine."

[Host, please wait a moment, it is in operation... It has been delivered successfully, please confirm and check it in time. 】

Xia Zuoyi seemed to hear a few milky moans coming from the cave.

He said: "Judit, there seems to be a small animal inside!"

After speaking.

Xia Zuoyi ran in quickly, but Judit didn't hold back even if she wanted to.

"Lord Count!"

When Judith followed quickly, he saw the little count with his back turned to him, and the figure seemed to be frozen in place, as if he didn't know how to react.

Xia Zuoyi was indeed a little dazed.

There are two fluffy little things moving slowly at his feet, one black and one white, covered with beautiful markings, with thick little paws and a thick little tail.

These turned out to be two cubs who should not have been weaned.

A white tiger.

One seems to be a legendary black and blue tiger, which has long been extinct in modern times.

Xia Zuoyi could think of it as a fluffy animal, but she never thought of it as two little tigers with black and white "sha"...

He couldn't help asking in his heart: "098, where have you traveled?"

[Host, 098 traveled to the planet where the sand sculpture system is located. 】

【There is a place full of fluff. These two little tigers are brothers. They lost their parents shortly after they were born. If they are not taken away, they will be killed by another big tiger. 】

[098 thinks they are cute and wants to give them as gifts to the host, no thanks~]

"........."

Xia Zuoyi squatted down when Judit approached, and stroked the heads of the two grunting little tigers with both hands, and was immediately licked and rubbed by the fur paws.

Yes, it's really cute.

"Judit, look quickly! It's a little tiger." Xia Zuoyi whispered.

Judit frowned slightly: "The fur colors of these two little tigers are...very strange."

He had never seen a white and black tiger.

Xia Zuoyi: "Maybe that's why they were abandoned...Can I raise them?"

"My lord, tigers are ferocious beasts after all, they are fierce..."

"Udit~"

"..."

Judith couldn't stand the Earl's coquettishness, especially when his big caramel-colored eyes were staring at you eagerly, and his little hands were still clasped on his chest.

"Hey, if you really want to...of course you can."

The author has something to say:

I checked, and it seems that there are no tigers in Europe, but the article is an overhead world and there will be a lot of private settings for the plot. Don’t research it, there are many ferocious beasts in the Western Continent, such as tigers and lions.
