"Earl, are they really going to attack us?" A deputy squad leader ambushed in the bushes leaned against it, his body already stiff and motionless, indicative of how long he had been standing there.
On the other side, Li Yan, leaning against a two-meter-high tree trunk, sat on a branch, holding a telescope with one hand, gazing thoughtfully ahead.
This group of bandits, accustomed to arrogance, always at odds with each other, thought they ruled the area and didn’t understand what it meant to be under attack. Under such circumstances, it was very likely they would launch a direct assault.
After all, their defensive posture had reached an overwhelming level, and underestimating their opponent was highly probable.
"Do not relax your vigilance! The exits of the surrounding mountainous regions have been surrounded by the local academy, leaving them no way out, so the possibility of them launching an attack is eighty percent!"
The situation of surrounding them on all sides has already formed! Coordinating inside and out to encircle the weapons dealers in the center, marks the beginning of the plan to eliminate the bandits.
The deputy squad leader, having been with his Earl for a long time, deeply understood his temperament and never doubted the Earl’s judgment. He knew that the Earl would not speak lightly without confidence.
Since the Earl said they would come, they definitely would come.
The lowest point of the perilous area could be considered the safest zone; it was a surrounded position by the special trainees, all supporting trainees were positioned here.
Night had fallen, and they could rest a little.
Xie Yongfei and Li Yunping were anxious and unable to sleep, tossing and turning, gazing at the endless night sky, touching the damp ground, feeling utterly helpless.
They had heard countless times about being covered with the sky and using the earth as a bed, but truly experiencing it firsthand was a first for them...
This could be considered a special experience in life.
Gu Tong didn’t pay them any attention, instead, he busied himself with organizing his medical supplies.
Perhaps due to speaking half a word too much that held no appeal, the impression of these two young royal doctors had long plummeted to the negatives.
"Brother Tong... what are you doing..." Xie Yongfei hesitated for a long while before finally asking, puzzled for half the time why Brother Tong hadn’t rested but busied himself instead, what exactly was he busy with...
Gu Tong didn’t even glance at him, picking up his scalpel to wipe with alcohol, saying, "Preparing for battle!"
"Preparing for battle?"
Xie Yongfei roughly understood the meaning in Gu Tong’s words, the preparation she mentioned meant to provide support, but as there were no wounded currently, who were they supposed to support...
Why did the minds of the experienced trainees work in such peculiar ways, he simply couldn’t keep up with the pace.
Gu Tong didn’t give any further explanation, having long given up hope on these new trainees. However, to reduce her workload, she still said, "Unexpected situations can arise at any time! I advise you to prepare your essentials early to avoid being caught off guard."
Her tone was calm without any emotion, but in the ears of the two, it held no persuasive power.
They suddenly felt that this senior trainee was overly suspicious, perhaps having made a mistake on the battlefield before? Or maybe was so frightened? Being afraid of everything.
Moreover, on such trivial matters, still considering oneself as if having everything under control made them dislike it quite a bit.
Humans can sometimes be , when encountering people or situations stronger than themselves, they instinctively negate them to make up for their shortcomings, nitpicking on trivial matters is nothing more than that.
However, it’s often because of this very point, such people progress very slowly.
