The Lord Is Addicted In Infrastructure [Book Wear]

Chapter 15: A Lovely Gift

The reserve and ordinary soldiers each took a map and went separately to the designated positions in the forest.

Fernandi and Walker, with a team of knights, stayed at Lake Pal to protect Xia Zuoyi.

After arriving at the designated location.

Mike Andrew put the small flag he was carrying on the ground. First, he sent someone to get familiar with the road conditions from here to the valley and then called the leaders of each team over to discuss how to snatch the small flag from the opponent.

However, the strategy was not finished yet, the two soldiers who went to the small valley to survey the terrain suddenly returned with solemn expressions.

"Squad leader, the situation is a bit wrong."

Mike Andrew frowned, "What?"

The soldier said, "We found that there were no obvious traces of activity around the small valley, but we found these branches on the ground... We suspect that there might be another group of people in the valley, but we didn't dare to get too close for fear of stunning the snake(1)."

There was just a heavy snowfall in the forest.

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

During this period, the withered grass and branches are not easy to ignite. Therefore, it is very unwise to go into the mountain without some coal and kerosene.

The ends of the branches that the soldiers took out were scorched and dry, and when they were close, they would smell a slightly pungent smell.

As a slave, he often chopped wood and burned firewood when he worked for the manor owner, and he could tell the dry or wet state of the wood at a glance.

The end of this branch is obviously the result of being doused with kerosene and burned.

The soldiers can preliminarily determine that there are people in the small valley.

Although they don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, choosing to enter the Pal Mountain at this moment, they always feel ill-intentioned...

"What should we do? Squad leader, do you want to go back and inform Sir Edwards first..."

Mike Andrew pondered for a moment, "Send one person back to notify."

"The original drill plan has changed... No matter what the purpose of their coming to Mount Pal at this time, they are not well-intentioned."

"The earl is waiting by the lake. Protecting the safety of Lord Earl is the most important thing, so whether they're enemies or friends, we should catch them first."

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... Do you want to kill?!"

Mike Andrew, "Don't forget the admonition of Sir Edwards. When you take up a weapon, you will brandish it one day. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."

"If you can't let your hand fall, you will die."

The expressions of the other squad leaders gradually became firmer.

Mike Andrew, "First, let the two teams follow me and carefully go over, then after the inspection is confirmed, I will blow the bird whistle to signal you to move, and pass the message to the ordinary soldiers across the valley."

"Yes, we understand."

The bird whistle is a short whistle made of wood.

When the whistle blows, you can adjust the middle lever by hand, and the tone will change from high to low, or loud to clear, or sharp and loud... It is very similar to the sound of a real bird.
