At the beginning, Zhang Xutuo, Chen Shaoyun and others were attracted by the complex terrain of the limestone area and wanted to build a camp here. They tried to hide here for a while. Unfortunately, they were patrolled by the sand thieves.

I discovered it. The process later can only be described as a mess. If Xia Xingxiao hadn't appeared, I'm afraid that their team would be wiped out.

In a deep gully in the limestone area, Xia Xingxiao can still find fresh blood stains that have not yet been completely dried.

These blood stains are the remaining parts of Zhang Xutuo, Chen Shaoyun and others during the fight when they encountered sand thieves. Following the blood stains, they also found the remains of their companions who unfortunately died. Because there were many sacrifices, the entire gully,

Basically all were stained with blood.

Fortunately, the terrain of the gully is not conducive to the development of the sand thieves' forces. Otherwise, Zhang Xutuo, Chen Shaoyun and others would probably have no chance to break through.

After statistics, there were 16 bodies of federal soldiers left in the entire gully. Together with eight of them, there were twenty-four. When they set off, there were fifty-three people. In other words, at least there were at least

Twenty-nine people are missing.

In this case, the disappearances were basically captured by the sand thieves. If they were not rescued in time, there would be twenty-nine sand thieves.

But the process of desertification only takes a few hours at most. Now, it has been more than ten hours since they were captured. If there were no accidents, it is extremely likely that they have been desertified. Of course, everyone,

All are avoiding this sensitive issue.

Some people don’t want to think, some people don’t dare to think, some people are too calm, and they have estimated the consequences, and even thought about how to deal with it. Zhang Xutuo’s rationality is very calm. He is slow

He said slowly: "If they... take their bodies back!"

No one else objected. They all nodded with a serious expression and agreed to Zhang Xutuo's approach.

It is impossible for them to watch their companions be transformed into sand thieves.

Instead of turning them into sand thieves, committing evil and accomplice to tigers, it is better to kill them and take their bodies back.

In this way, at least in the rear, and in their families, they can receive a relatively high treatment.

The treatment of martyrs by the Starry Federation is pretty good. However, if it is converted into a sand thief, it will be troublesome.

I guess the most kind person cannot be grateful to a federal soldier who has been transformed into a sand thief, right?

It should be noted that many of these people who came to attack Ai Yexing, threaten Bai Erxing, and kill innocent sand thieves indiscriminately came from the federal army. They were still very resistant to these unfortunate people who were desertified and ordinary people in the Starry Federation.

Therefore, whether it is desertified is definitely a watershed. This is a matter of nature.

Xia Xingxiao frowned and said slowly: "The question is, when you see them, can you really start?"

Zhang Xutuo remained silent and was unwilling to answer this question. Everyone else was unwilling to answer this question.

They remain silent, showing their extreme contradictions in their hearts. They rationally told them that their companions should become martyrs, not sand thieves. But emotionally, how could they kill their companions who had been with day and night?

"Okay, let's continue to discuss rescue plans!" Xia Xingxiao tactfully distorted this heavy topic.

Since more than ten hours have passed, it is estimated that all the prisoners have been taken to their military camp by the sand thief. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to intercept them halfway. The only way is to kill directly in.

The target was forcibly rescued from the Sand Thieves' military camp.

To be honest, such a rescue action is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg. Regardless of whether their rescue action is successful or not, it will attract the attention of the sand thieves.

Apart from the monsters, the Sand Pirates had no opponents on the Jiaoluo Star. They also did not think that there was a federal army on the Jiaoluo Star. However, if they took action to rescue the prisoners, it would be clear.

Tell the Shabi that on the Kakuluo Star, there are also federal troops operating near the Horn Fortress. It is conceivable what kind of actions the Shabi would take.

You must know that there are tens of millions of sand thieves gathered on the Jiaoluo Star!

What is the huge difference between tens of millions of sand thieves who were surrounded by more than a dozen federal soldiers?

What's even more terrible is that Zhang Xutuo, Chen Shaoyun and others are not only rare in number, but also have not strong real combat power.

The lowest rank of their military rank is the major, that is, the cultivator at level 13 or above.

If it is on the Egret Star, the 13th level cultivator will have some status. However, on the 13th level cultivator, the 13th level cultivator can only be the mud in the soles of his feet. He is better than the 13th level cultivator.

Even if there is not ten thousand, there are probably eight thousand.

As for those super sand thieves above level 20, let’s not talk about them.

If these powerful people took action personally, even Xia Xingxiao would not have the chance to run away.

Zhang Xutuo said with a solemn expression: "If the situation is not good, everyone will break through separately! How many can they stick out are there!"

Chen Shaoyun and others nodded heavily. They had long put their life and death aside.

When you come to Jiaoluoxing to reconnaise the movements of the sand thieves, you not only need extraordinary courage, but also strong strength.

If the level is too low, even if you successfully land on Jiao Luoxing, you will only be able to die.

In fact, in Xia Xingxiao's opinion, their reconnaissance team is still too weak.

I guess they would never have imagined that there would be tens of millions of sand thieves in Jiaoluo Star.

There are tens of millions of sand thieves. What does that mean? I just spit a mouthful of water and I don’t know how many people have drowned.

It is estimated that Zhang Xutuo and the others were fully prepared before setting off. They are not only the reconnaissance team, but also the suicide team. Everyone's suicide letter should have been written long ago.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to say.

If the situation is wrong, Xia Xingxiao will definitely break through immediately and run for life alone.

Zhang Xutuo and others would never blame him for leaving his companions behind, nor would they blame him for being unfaithful.

In fact, he would definitely want Xia Xingxiao to run away first. His words just now were for Xia Xingxiao to listen to.

I believe that those federal soldiers captured by the sand thieves will not blame Zhang Xutuo and the others. Because this is their choice.

If they were afraid to make such a choice, they would not appear on the star of the koala.

From this perspective, being transformed into sand robbers is definitely their tragedy.

Is there any way to avoid such a tragedy?

...

Zhang Xutuo, Chen Shaoyun and others took action together to collect the bodies of the sacrificed federal soldiers and prepare for a funeral.

The Shapos did not destroy their bodies, and most of the martyrs' bodies were quite complete.

Their makeup was cleaned as clean as possible, and their military uniforms were also as flat as possible.

If there were no wounds on their bodies, they looked like they were asleep.

Perhaps, at this moment, they are indeed asleep deeply, right?

Who knows what it is like after a person dies?

"Brother Xia, where is your military uniform?" Zhang Xutuo suddenly asked Xia Xingxiao.

Xia Xingxiao said with a wry smile: "The experience during this period is too complicated, and my military uniform has all been rotten."

Zhang Xutuo took out a brand new military uniform from his space ring and said slowly: "This is mine. Do you want to change it?"

When he was holding the military uniform, he looked a little nervous, afraid that Xia Xingxiao would refuse to put on the military uniform again.

By the way, this guy has not served sincerely since the day he joined the army.

"Okay!" Xia Xingxiao nodded, took the military uniform and changed it quickly.

At this moment, he didn't expect so much. Perhaps he had already accidentally got used to wearing military uniforms!

He was indeed forced to join the federal army and was indeed unwilling to serve in the federal army for a long time. However, after experiencing so many things, his ideas have changed a lot. Let's not talk about the long term. Just from the perspective of

In terms of the current situation, staying in the army is the best choice. His father Xia Qianfeng is the director of the Emergency Committee of Egret Star. What he needs most is support from the army.

Although his current cultivation level is still very low and his military rank is also very low, he cannot allocate more troops. According to his current cultivation level, he can only be awarded the rank of a second lieutenant, and can only command one squad at most.

The troops will not exceed fifty people, and only one hundred people will die after they are killed.

However, as time goes by, his cultivation level will definitely continue to improve. His military rank will also continue to be promoted. One day, he will be qualified to command more troops. Lieutenant and Captain

The ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and colonel are definitely no problem. Even the ranks of brigade general, major general, lieutenant general, general, and general are completely possible. As for the marshal and the marshal, it is a bit far away.

Since there is a way to help his father in a real way, Xia Xingxiao has no reason to refuse. This military uniform is temporarily worn.

His military rank should have been the second lieutenant. However, without the rank of the second lieutenant, Xia Xingxiao did not wear it. Neither he nor Zhang Xutuo had the sign of the second lieutenant's rank. Even if he wanted to wear it, it would not be possible to change out of thin air.

.The starry sky world is not a magical world.

In fact, with his current strength, even if he wears the rank of colonel, he is more than enough. The colonel is just a level 15 cultivator. His real strength now would have been higher than the level 15. If he had worn the rank of a second lieutenant

, it is just an inappropriate one. Even Zhang Xutuo could not treat Xia Xingxiao as a second lieutenant.

"Brothers, rest in peace!"

Zhang Xutuo stood attentively and said in a deep tone.

The other federal soldiers took off their hats and saluted in awe.

Xia Xingxiao also followed them, stood attentively and saluted to see off the martyrs who died.

Xia Xingxiao's puppet troops were stationed outside, and the funeral went smoothly, simple and serious.

If one day in the future, the human army can finally take back the horn fortress, the burial place of these sixteen martyrs will definitely become the first choice for countless people to pay their respects. For no other reason, it is for the horn here.

star.

It is the first time in thousands of years that it is daring to erect a monument to the sacrificed federal soldiers on the Jiaoluo Star!

After the funeral, Zhang Xutuo was excited and encouraged everyone and said, "We must avenge the victims!"
