Chapter 98 Trapped on the battlefield
Fort Togras, command.
"By the way, is that guy who was inserted into the armored unit back?" After Song Tuo left, Afangsuo turned around and asked the confidant beside him.
"No... the directly-owned armored troops were unable to withdraw." The confidant shook his head.
"Where is the airship sent out to pick up people?"
"I lost contact and initially concluded that I was hit by a fall. And according to the information provided by the oriental man, the entire battlefield should be divided by the "remnant soul" that cannot be seen by the naked eye. As a ground force, they may..."
"Have you installed a tracker on that kid's armor before?"
"It's installed...but I don't know if the tracker has failed or he was killed before he arrived at the mission site. From the beginning of the battle, his tracker signal has been at the frontier position of the Federal Army. There were only hundreds of meters of movement at the beginning, but it has not moved since then." Of course, the guard did not expect that Ash would replace his armor with the armor of a fallen soldier, and the tracker was naturally left in the wreckage of the crashed airship.
"But... it is also possible that the armor was damaged during the battle. He abandoned his armor, and this possibility cannot be ruled out." After thinking for a while, the personal guard finally came up with the inference that was closest to the real situation.
"Without armor, what is the chance of his survival on the battlefield?"
"It's very low. Even if he survived the battle with the Federal Army, the appearance of the apostle directly killed almost 70% of the people on the entire battlefield. We cannot guarantee that he is in the remaining 30%."
"How many troops are trapped in the battlefield?" Alfonso asked.
"Our people are initially estimated to be around 10,000, and the federal army is probably less. Before their troops can be fully launched, they are devastatingly hit by the apostles."
"Have the trapped troops contacted?"
"After the federal army lifted the radio interference, we contacted each other. The information related to the Seventh Apostle and the Remnant Soul has been conveyed to all officers at the school level and above, and they are asked to gather the troops and wait for rescue on the spot."
"Well, it's done well, so that the airship troops can speed up the progress. We have to find a way to pick people up from that ghost place." Alfonso nodded.
"That person..."
"If he is still alive, rescue him, if he is dead... by the way, does that kid have any relatives? I remember he was taken out of the quarantine by a team searching for 'seeds'?"
“No relatives.”
"Oh, it seems that you can save a pension...but if he really dies, people from Huangquan will come to cause trouble for us."
"Does sir refer to Brigadier General Ibrahim?"
"It's not just him, but Huangquan probably doesn't want him to die. After all... the entire eleventh phase is just a single seedling. If this eleventh phase is gone, then the guys above probably want to withdraw the eleventh phase of Huangquan immediately. That's a large amount, and a considerable amount of the quota for the eleventh phase of the mo crystal."
"Uh, by the way, sir, I suddenly remembered something, it was related to that boy." said the guard.
"explain."
"Information about that boy... should we tell that Song Tuo? The other party said it was all the information related to the apostles, but we have no reliable evidence yet to show that there is any connection between him and the apostles."
"The information about him is not to be shared with those Easterners."
"Do you need to know about Huangquan? After all, the main person in charge of intelligence docking is theirs."
"There is no need for that. Although there are many lunatics among the people in Huangquan, they are not stupid." Alfonso waved his hand.

Linfeng Plain, South Ten Districts.
Yevgeny and the only thirty remaining soldiers under him were sitting around a bonfire to keep warm. A little further away was the other 100 teams of the Federal Army. More than 200 meters away, there were about a hundred soldiers from the Imperial Army gathered. The soldiers from both sides maintained a certain safe distance and were eyeing each other, but no one attacked the other.
News of the armistice agreement has been passed here. This open space is one of the few "safety areas" on the battlefield. Nearby federal and imperial troops have concentrated the remaining troops here to wait for rescue.
When the seventh apostle Hekarim launched an indiscriminate attack on both sides of the war, Yevgeny's 100 men was "passed by" by one of the phantoms, which caused him to lose more than half of the soldiers. After the apostle disappeared, several more soldiers were swallowed by some invisible monster because they accidentally entered the "dangerous zone" - more than a hundred people, and in just one day, there was only this little left at the moment.
Before the war started, at least three bonfires could make everyone burn. Thinking of this, Yevgeny couldn't help feeling sad, sighed slightly, picked up two dead branches from the firewood next to him and threw them into the bonfire.
"Boss... this battle shouldn't be fought?" A young soldier approached Yevgeny and asked in a low voice. The corner of his eyes was staring at the Imperial soldiers in the distance.
"I don't know... But I definitely can't fight now, and I can't fight even if I want to fight. Except for a few 'safe zones', this battlefield has become a Jedi. I heard from the people above that those who were killed by Odin have become resentful spirits. They wander on the battlefield and swallow the flesh and blood of living people... You can see how Boris and Igor died. We can't see those things, but as long as we accidentally bump into them, no one can live."
"Then...will those things come here?" The young soldier couldn't help but shivered and looked around with some anxiety.
"It is said that no, so the people above let us stay in the safe area and wait for rescue." Yevgeny shook his head.
"There will be rescue...will there be rescue?"
"There will be that we have signed an agreement with the Empire. At that time, the Imperial Army's airships will pick us up with those Imperial Army out of this ghost place."
"The people of the Empire... to be honest, boss, do you dare to believe them?"
"Even if we don't believe it, what's the solution? We only have a few reconnaissance boats. That kind of gadget can only carry ten people at a time. Just a few hundred people here have to go back and forth dozens of times."
"What if the people of the Empire attack us? Or if we get on their airship, they will throw us from the sky?" The young soldier looked worried.
