Chapter Thirty: Laughing and Crying Unable to Stop

  War is forever the unchanged main theme of the imperial era, whether it's modern history or this strange world, Rayne has a deep understanding.

  After a while, the sky gradually brightened up, and the forest came with birds chirping, flapping wings flying sounds, and...

  At this time, all the soldiers had no sleepiness, and they stood in line with spirit, waiting for Rehn's next command.

  "Captain, captain..." At this time, a loud shout suddenly came over.

  Ran after the sound and found that it was actually those two people, Lades and Xiao Pangzi, who had just left not long ago, hurrying towards here.

  The soldiers made way for a path, staring at these two young men, unsure what they were coming back for again.

  "Thud!" As the two came before Lain, they suddenly knelt down.

  "What...what are you doing? Hurry up, get up." Lain lowered his head and looked at the two young men kneeling in front of him.

  "We want to join the army and go with you to suppress bandits, please accept us!" Ladis said very seriously, raising his head.

  "Join the army?" Lain was stunned, his face a complex mix of emotions, unable to laugh or cry.

  "Yes, Captain! Although we didn't have many days to climb the mountain and weren't familiar with its terrain, we knew the general location of the bandits' lair. Please accept our surrender. Besides, it's chaotic now, where would you have us go?" Ladis said sincerely.

  "Yes, yes, Lades has a good memory, and we still have marks when we escaped." Little fatty also said anxiously.

  "Little fatty, you damn idiot, how did I end up with a moron friend like you...!" Ladis roared in exasperation, quickly standing up and shaking the still-dazed Little Fatty's shoulder, his brown eyes filled with angry glare.

  "Hahaha... " The soldiers burst out laughing, and Rain was also laughing so hard he was doubled over. These two people were really too ridiculous. They had just interrogated for half a day without mentioning anything about the bandits, and now they were...

  "Sorry, we were holding something back earlier because... " Ladis stuttered with an embarrassed explanation, his face flustered, but when he saw Captain Rain's smiling face, he also chuckled.

  "Welcome, you have joined the Rynn Legion, now you are Imperial soldiers!" Rynn said with a faint smile.

  "Thank you!" The two of them came before Lain with excited expressions, performing a somewhat unstandard imperial salute, their faces extremely serious.

  "Captain, this is the lair of the robbers..." As a former thief, Lades had studied the terrain map and it was useful for his habit of entering houses to steal. The simple model of the mountain made of yellow earth, broken stones and weeds was quite similar. He was recalling the route they took, and finally pointed to a black stone on the simple map on the grass.

  "Alas, this is too difficult! The bandits' checkpoints are all set up in strategic locations where one man can hold off ten thousand, and there's also their impregnable fortress... Ah!" Rus looked at the pile of topographic maps on the ground, his whole body felt dizzy, he had completely lost confidence in eradicating the bandits, and let out a long sigh. The others were also speechless.

  "Rades, how did you two manage to escape?" Rayn thought for half a day, then looked at Rades, furrowed his brow and said.

  "Hah, the imperial palace is heavily guarded, but I can come and go as I please. Can a small mountain like Luo Feng Shan stop me?" Ladis's tone was somewhat arrogant, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

  "Laddie's a terror, and if I weren't so clumsy, we wouldn't be living on the run now!" Little Fatty sighed, his tone laced with frustration and self-blame.

  "Brother Pang, we've been inseparable since childhood, it's a bit too much to say that, haha!" Rades tightly hugged Xiao Pangzi's shoulder and comforted him.

  "Rades, you little scamp, are there still many things you haven't confessed? If there's a secret passage leading to the bandits' lair, spit it out quickly! What's the use of this pile of stuff on the ground?" Rus was furious and trampled the carefully arranged terrain map on the grass into a mess, still not satisfied with that, he stomped his feet.

  Things happened too suddenly, and even if Rayne wanted to stop it, he was already a step late. He stared at Russ, looking at the scattered topographic map, sighing long and helplessly.

  "Ruth, how could you? We spent half a day setting this up. You..." Dakota said discontentedly.

  "Dakota, what's wrong? I'm just feeling depressed and want to fight, are you itching for a beating?" Russ roared.

  "Rus, I've had enough of you for half a day! You want to fight? Bring it on!" Dakot said furiously, taking off his leather armor jacket and revealing his strong chest muscles. He quickly walked towards the open space not far away, still muttering curses under his breath.

  "Good! Dakore, I've been waiting for that!" Russ said, taking off his armor jacket and rushing over quickly.

  Rainer also couldn't help but stop, it was those little girls in the mountain village who were to blame. Otherwise, Rus and Dakota's emotions today wouldn't be so unstable. If they didn't vent their anger properly, they would get sick from holding it in. Wasn't he the same? But as the team leader, he had to endure and try his best to control his emotional changes.

  The soldiers' formation had long since broken up, and they were watching the fight between Dakota and Russ.

  "Captain Yurus wins one to three, Captain Dakout wins one to five! Time's up, no more waiting!" The familiar voice of Reed began to shout.

  "Roubles! Five kopecks!"

  "Rush! Ten coppers!"

  "Take cover!"

  “……”

  Raine couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, these soldiers' gambling habits still couldn't be changed. Fortunately, dozens of soldiers began to patrol conscientiously, taking on the task of sentry duty, ensuring absolute safety within a five-mile radius.

  At this time, Lades and Xiao Pang were intently arranging the terrain maps, those so-called military terrain maps that had been destroyed by angry Rus.

  "Haha, these two young people are still very focused." Rayn looked at their serious faces and smiled, joining the ranks of the two who were arranging the terrain map.
