Online Games: I Met a Mysterious Old Man

...

A few days later.

"Well..."

Chen Xing stretched his waist.

There was a chessboard in front of them. Karel and Chen Xing sat opposite each other, with dark circles already covering their eyes.

Of course, the two of them have long since lost the spirit to play chess.

They are very sleepy.

Already dozed off.

"Ah! So hot!"

Karel couldn't overcome his sleepiness and accidentally knocked over the tea on the side and poured it on his lap.

"Ah! It's so hot!"

"Can you be quiet? Let me get some sleep."

Chen Xing rubbed his eyes and punched Karel.

"Ah...I'm so sorry."

After apologizing to Chen Xing and cleaning up the tea, Karel's eyes began to close involuntarily.

Because sleep was rushing over my face, the burn from the tea was nothing in this matter.

"Ah, I'm really going to die."

Chen Xing covered his face, feeling very sleepy.

At this moment, how he wished he was a machine that wouldn't feel sleepy.

Wait, wait.

There is only one reason why Chen Xing is like this.

He didn't know when Pal Shirum's next mission order would be, so Chen Xing couldn't log out of the game comfortably and get some sleep.

Because without him, the Alligator Company would definitely be wiped out.

When a company faces those difficult tasks, whether these people can survive depends on him.

Therefore, in order to ensure more time online, Chen Xing can only sleep for one or two hours a day these days.

In the past few days, Pal Shirum's order had not been fulfilled, so they waited like this. If they didn't come, they didn't dare to sleep anymore.

"Ah...Your Highness, I really don't want to die."

Karel did not wake up, but the corners of his mouth moved and he talked in his sleep.

"I'm so sleepy, will I die..."

"Am I going to die...?"

at this time.

"Order! The battalion commander's order!"

The communications officer entered Karel's camp with the battalion commander's order.

"ah......"

Just when he was about to fall asleep, this command removed most of Chen Xing's soul.

"Fuck! How about I kill him?"

"Your Highness!"

Karel quickly stopped the angry Chen Xing.

Of course, Chen Xing just complained that it was impossible to do this. He knew the consequences of privately executing a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander-level figure from another kingdom.

It is tantamount to a direct declaration of war.

"This is the ninth time we have acted alone..."

"No."

The communications officer shook his head.

"no?"

"This mission is not an individual mission, it is a battalion-level operation."

the communications officer replied.

"Forehead?"

After learning that this mission was not a separate mission for the Crocodile Company, Chen Xing's angry mood calmed down a little.

"Damn it, if I had known this, I should have logged out and had a good sleep. Let's go."

"Let's go, Your Highness."

Karel followed behind Chen Xing.

The battalion-level operation began.

The mission this time was to hunt a relatively small group.

The first battle of the battalion-level operation went smoothly.

but......

"The B-level mutant biota is 3 kilometers to our left and is approaching quickly!"

"B-class racial group? Damn it, there is no other way, we need to retreat immediately."

When the battle was at its fiercest, a scout came to report, and Pal Shirum immediately decided to retreat.

The problem is that Pal Shirum did not inform the entire battalion of this intelligence and the news of the retreat.

"Okay, battalion commander, I will now notify the whole battalion to prepare to retreat."

"What are you talking about?"

Parsrum asked with a frown.

"The entire battalion retreats? Then who will be in charge of the rear if we run away together? Are we going to die together?"

"Ah? Battalion Commander, then..."

"It is not allowed to issue a retreat order. We must ensure that the main force of the battalion level withdraws to a safe area. It cannot retreat and can only detour to the base of the C-level population."

"..."

"The Tulip Company continues to advance, the Tiger Company provides support, and together with the main force of the battalion, they take a detour and attack the enemy base, and the Crocodile Company..."

Pal Shirum thought of Private Chen Xing.

At this time, Chen Xing was using his skills to hunt down the C-level species that were rushing over.

"Let them go to the left."

It was in this way that the conflict between Pal Shirum and Chen Xing was ignited.

...

Two hours later.

A small-scale brawl broke out in front of the battalion commander's tent.

"Private Chen Xing! Come back! If you don't report in advance, you can't see the battalion commander!"

"Ah? He doesn't seem very busy anyway. Is it okay to meet him?"

This was the discussion between Chen Xing and Sosimius, the adjutant of Palslum.

"Private Chen Xing, this is the army. Since it is the army, there is military law."

"so?"

"To see the battalion commander, you must pass by the commander of your company, and then..."

"I just came to have a cup of tea with the battalion commander."

"impossible!"

Just when the two were quarreling.

"Let him in."

Parshrum's voice came from the camp.

"Then you go in..."

Sohemius opened the tent for Chen Xing.

"Hello, Private Chen Xing."

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Parrum."

Parsrum ate the delicious steak and then took a sip of red wine.

After just abandoning the Crocodile Company, they enjoyed a leisurely dinner on the pretext of a successful retreat.

"You should salute first, Private Chen Xing."

Pal Shirum said to Chen Xing.

"Whatever your identity is?"

"Ah, of course."

Chen Xing gave a military salute to Pal Shirum.

Pal Shilum returned a military salute to Chen Xing.

"You still obey the rules. I thought you wouldn't salute me."

"Of course this is impossible."

Chen Xing shrugged.

"Soldiers salute for the sake of the army, not for the people, right?"

"Forehead......"

"This bastard."

Pal Shirum's eyes twitched slightly.

"Well... you are right, this is not a problem. By the way, why did you come to me? Is it because of what happened before?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Why do you think so? Because..."

Parsrum answered nonchalantly.

"Because you abandoned your subordinates and ran away."

Chen Xing said first.

"You damn bastard, do you know what you're talking about?"

Parshrum yelled angrily.

"Isn't it?"

Chen Xing smiled.

"No. In battle, any order is made based on tactical judgment. Even mistakes are inevitable."

"Oh, you mean?"

"Are you dissatisfied with anything?"

"No."

Chen Xing shook his head and said.

"It's just that 49 soldiers of the Crocodile Company died. What's the fault of the battalion commander? He just wanted to escape with his life."

In the battle two hours ago, the Crocodile Company had a total of 89 people, of which 49 soldiers died and 21 adventurers died.

Even if Chen Xing used all his skills, including all kinds of killing moves and all his debuff skills, he still couldn't save the lives of those people.

The B-level population is no joke.
