Bang bang, the sound of gunfire was buzzing. Rifles and muskets were intertwined into one, blooming bright flowers of blood, which dyed everyone''s eyes red.

    Standing on a hillside and looking through a single telescope at the battle or massacre not far away, Sean was calm and had no waves at all.

    The autumn sweeping in LVYE town has been going on for nearly a month. Although there are losses, there are guns and half a team of extraordinary people, which is not too large to be acceptable.

    The gunfire died down and became sparse, which also means that the battle is coming to an end. There is no deviation in the results, but it is also normal. After all, one side is well-trained and well-equipped, and the other side is just a mob equipped with stone knives and wooden spears.

    The fire rose, cleaned the battlefield, and strung the prisoners into a string. The soldiers of LVYE town skillfully lit the fire source and set this small village on fire.

    This is not the first indigenous village to be burned, nor will it be the last. Before this indigenous village, LVYE town soldiers have burned four similar villages. Of course, these villages are small villages, with a number of about dozens to 100 people. There is no extraordinary power in the village.

    After the battle, we returned to the temporary residence, and a small celebration banquet began to open with the advent of night.

    Barrels of bitter black beer were sent to the table, accompanied by animal meat roasted by fire with golden oil drops, moderate vegetable soup and black bread. It was a good meal for the soldiers.

    Drinking and having fun, laughing and laughing, the camp is full of pleasant factors. Of course, in addition to wine and food, women are also essential.

    In the process of sweeping, the biggest wealth gained by LVYE town is the captive population. These prisoners are selected, young men and women. After they are brought back, they are qualified slaves, which can be quickly transformed into productive forces. Although it sounds cruel that the elderly and children are either killed in the battle or executed after the war, But it is indeed a tested treatment.

    In the long-term battle in the field, the biggest difficulty for the soldiers in LVYE town is not the aborigines who can only be regarded as mobs, but the harsh environment.

    Miasma, poisonous insects, beasts and subsequent diseases are stress that can not be ignored. Sometimes even drinking a mouthful of raw water can lead to serious diarrhea and death.

    The shadow of death has been accompanied by the army of LVYE town and has never been far away. Under such circumstances, the mental health of soldiers is very important, and wine and women are a simple and effective means.

    Different from the noise outside, it was much quieter in the main account. Sean, Monas and philolith sat in order and tasted the food on the table.

    After eating the last piece of steak in the plate, he put down his knife and fork, took a sip of wine and dried his lips. Sean raised his head and looked outside the main account. Looking at Sean''s action, Monas and Ferrero quickly put down their knives and forks.

    "What about the army, philolith?"

    "Lord, the current situation of the army is good, there are few casualties, and there are successive battles, and the morale is available. The only worry is that the logistics pressure is a little high, the prisoners need to be transferred, and the supplies need to be replenished."

    With that, Ferrero turned his eyes to Sean and waited for Sean''s orders.

    "Well, you can handle these things. Next, we''re going to clean the wild green. How''s the situation there?"

    "Lord, according to our information, the situation of yeguoling aborigines is very different from that of TAM River Basin. There is only one tribe, but the specific situation needs further exploration."

    As he said this, Ferrero glanced at Monas. Due to the harsh environment and complex situation, the military spies were only responsible for the external exploration, and the internal situation was handed over to the extraordinary team under Monas.

    Noticing Ferrero''s eyes, menges did not hesitate and directly said:

    "Lord, the guard team has been spilled out and led by CROM. It''s not enough. There''s no intelligence back yet. It should take some time."

    Speaking of this, menges also felt a little helpless. After all, the guard team is not a professional spy. It has natural defects in exploring intelligence, but fortunately, they are all extraordinary. Under such circumstances, their survival ability is much stronger than ordinary spies.

    Although he was not satisfied with munnes'' answer, Sean didn''t say anything. After all, it was not his fault. Of course, deep down, Sean had the idea of establishing a professional intelligence team.

    "In that case, we will temporarily slow down the advance speed of the troops and wait for the collection of intelligence."

    "Yes, Lord."

    After the meeting, the atmosphere in the master account was much easier.

    In the middle of the night, the banquet was over, and most of the soldiers had fallen into a deep sleep except the personnel in charge of the guard.

    The moonlight is dim, the trees are dense, casting twisted shadows. Occasionally, a breeze blows, disturbing the branches and leaves, making a strange sound, which is quite penetrating.

    Early in the morning, after washing and walking out of the main account, Sean immediately found that it was wrong.

    "What''s going on?"

    Sean looked a little cold as he looked at the ten mummies lined up on the ground.

    The atmosphere was so heavy that people couldn''t breathe. Under such circumstances, Monas stood up.

    "Lord, these ten bodies were found this morning. Their identities have been confirmed. Eight people are militia and two are professional soldiers. The time of death is about midnight. The cause of death is that their blood was sucked dry."

    Listening to Monas''s words, Sean didn''t say a word. He squatted down silently and carefully examined the body of the dead.

    After inspection, Sean found that the death of the ten people were very similar. They were all shriveled and peaceful, as if they had died in a sweet dream. There were no additional wounds except the two small holes in the neck, and all these made Sean think of three words: Vampire, But what makes Sean wonder is that these blood holes are too small.

    He got up and glanced at the dignified and uneasy expressions of the people around him. Sean asked:

    "Can you confirm the murderer?"

    The tone is light, without any ups and downs.

    "Lord, I''m not sure yet. The soldiers on guard last night didn''t find any abnormalities, and we didn''t find any valuable clues where ten people died, not even footprints."

    After listening to philolith, Sean looked the same, only a pair of blue pupils showed more depth.

    "In other words, the murderer easily crossed the cordon of our camp, killed ten of our soldiers silently, and then walked away without leaving any trace? We don''t even know whether he or they are human or animal, do we?"

    At the end, Sean''s voice suddenly rose one degree.

    "Yes, yes, Lord."

    At this moment, everyone felt the raging anger under Sean''s calm face.
