Chapter 26: The Secret Letter in the Military Camp

  Ran quickly left the military camp, with tears in his eyes, let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly and continued walking forward.

  "Somat, I have no grudge against you, why are you treating me like this? Treating us soldiers like this is so unfair! Why?! Why?!" Along the way, Rain's heart was filled with doubt and anger, his fists clenched tightly. If Somat weren't Yulia's older brother, he really wanted to punch him hard.

  As soon as he left the military camp, Rain heard Julia's anxious shouting from behind. He didn't stop his footsteps and resolutely walked forward. His soldiers, comrades, and brothers were all waiting for him.

  When Julia hastily arrived at the entrance of the military camp, urgently calling out to Rain, the guarding soldiers stopped her at the gate.

  "You, you get out of my way, I am Julia, do you know that? Don't you recognize me anymore?" Julia said in a flustered tone. As Reyn's figure gradually disappeared from her line of sight, she became anxious and suddenly drew the sword at her waist with a whooshing sound.

  "Julia, what are you doing? This is the military camp of Haigou Pass, not the military camp of Haitan Pass. How can you be so reckless again? Quickly put away your sword!" At this time, her second brother, Franster, suddenly appeared beside her and stopped her in time.

  "Second Brother!" Yulia stomped her foot and said discontentedly.

  "Aw, Julia, listen to your brother's words and quickly return to the camp to rest. You must be tired from traveling all night, obey!"

  "Alas, you! Hmph!" Julia sheathed her sword, turned her head, and quickly walked towards the military camp.

  "Alas..." Franster let out a long sigh, gazing in the direction where Rain had gone far away, and then at Julia's angry departing back, helplessly heading towards the military camp.

  Outside the city walls of Bian Guan, several miles around were desolate lands. The brothers of Lein stood in a discontinuous queue, waiting for his arrival, with tens of meters between each person.

  Three miles outside the barracks, on a vast empty grassland, smoke rose from cooking fires, and soldiers had already begun to cook their meals.

  "Renn, how are you?" Rush and Dakota hurried over to greet Renn as soon as they saw him approaching from afar, with Rush asking anxiously.

  "Wow, it smells so good! I'm actually a bit hungry!" Lain didn't answer Rus's question and excitedly ran to the bonfire, rubbing his hands together, still muttering to himself as if he was starving.

  "Ah..." Russ sighed, and the other soldiers also let out a long sigh, listlessly sitting on the grass with their heads hung low.

  Suddenly, Rus excitedly waved his saber and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have fought bloody battles for a day and night, they actually treated us like this, it's too humiliating! Let's go reason with them!"

  "Alright, alright!"

  "It's really infuriating! When we were struggling, we thought of our ancestors, but now they're treating us like this. Let's go and reason with them!"

  "Get out of here!"

  “……”

  These soldiers were inspired by Rus, and they all came in spirit. Even those exhausted soldiers who had been sleeping on the ground for a long time were ready to fight again.

  "Rus, what's wrong with you? You're all imperial soldiers now, real soldiers, not 'cannon fodder' (suicide squad) soldiers anymore, do you know that?! Don't be so hot-headed, sit down quietly for me, otherwise I'll have to take military action!" Rein yelled furiously, pointing at Rus and the others, his face red with rage, venting all the unpleasantness he had accumulated in the military camp earlier.

  The soldiers suddenly fell silent, and to their surprise, Rus burst out laughing and walked up to Laine, chuckling.

  "Captain, feeling a bit better now?" Russ asked with an eerie smile, his mind was so meticulous that he had a thick beard on his face, and what he did was actually to comfort Rayn, a special kind of spiritual comfort between comrades.

  Rainer's anger, discontent and smoldering fire in his heart were all understood by the soldiers. Although he forced a smile on his face, it did not deceive Rus's eyes, nor did it deceive the eyes of these soldiers.

  "Hahaha......" The soldiers all burst out laughing.

  "Thank you, thank you brothers! After the war is over, I will reward you handsomely!" Rayn said gratefully, his voice full of grandeur and enthusiasm.

  "Haha, refreshing! Brothers, for Captain Rain, we must live well, and we still have to wait for Captain Rain to treat us! Haha!" Russ shouted.

  "Oooooh..." The soldiers started shouting wildly.

  Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came in waves, and the soldiers were on full alert, holding crossbows and staring at a small team of soldiers rushing from afar.

  Lei En's expression was solemn as he gazed at the soldiers coming from the military camp direction, with a strong ominous premonition in his heart.

  "We are the messengers of the Haiguo Garrison, may I ask which one is Captain Lain?" The man said with a proud tone, staring at these hundreds of soldiers without fear.

  "I'm here, what's the message?" Reyn hastily stepped forward and asked.

  "General Somat has ordered that for the safety of the border town, your squad is to head to Luo Feng Mountain to gather intelligence on the movements of those bandit troops, and..."

  What followed was lost on Renn, his head buzzing with anger, he was truly furious now, having reached the point of no return.

  Black short roots stood upright, fists clenched in both hands, biting lips, frowning, and slowly walking forward.

  The war horses under the soldiers began to whinny in panic, as if they had seen a terrible sight, quickly retreating, kicking their hooves wildly, and neighing in terror.

  "What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel or something?" The military camp's messenger tightly hugged the horse's neck, his earlier arrogant expression gone, replaced by extreme fear, stuttering as he spoke.

  More than 300 soldiers surrounded the military camp, their crossbows at the ready. They were waiting for Captain Lane's order, and as soon as they got it, both the horses and riders would become hedgehogs.

  "Haha, rebel? If not for the sake of the imperial citizens? For my brothers, I can rebel right now! Is this really what you generals mean?" Rayn stopped in his tracks, laughing loudly, and asked again with some reluctance.

  "Ah, yes, that's exactly what the general meant. You soldiers are brave and skilled in battle, more than enough to deal with those small bandits. For the safety of the border, please let Captain Rain execute the command!" The little messenger's expression slowly returned to calmness, without his original arrogant look, quickly dismounted his horse, and handed over the letter to Rain.
