Chapter 30: The Death of the Old Army God
Rogge looked at the fat man who wanted to speak and stopped, a little puzzled, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Rogge has hardly left the courtyard in the past few days, and some military affairs are also reported by Neville. Duroc seems to have been instructed by Camp Commander Kutch and never looked for him as an adjutant again.
The fat man is very popular, running outside every day, participating in various parties and dinners, wine ponds and meat forests, just like a gentleman and a noble son. It's not often that you come back so early as today.
"The old army god is gone!"
The fat man's voice was low, the smile on Rogge's face gradually froze, his voice was bitter, and he asked:
"Did you tell Monroe?"
The fat man gave him a strange look, and said in a muffled voice: "No, shouldn't this kind of thing be suitable for you to say?!"
Rogge subconsciously asked before he reacted, and nodded hurriedly. His relationship with Monroe has not yet been told to the fat man, and in the eyes of the fat man, he is undoubtedly the most suitable person to inform Monroe.
Rogge asked the fat man and Neville about a lot of details, although Neville and the others did not have a high status, but after so many years in the military camp, there were still many news channels. Rogge inquired about it, but he began to make trouble again.
He had just told Monroe a few days ago that her cousin had been beheaded outside the city. At that time, Rogge's expression was confused, and he already knew that it was Captain Huasheng of the previous squadron who did it, and he was his own person.
Fortunately, Monroe didn't take her cousin to heart, and there was no follow-up with an "oh", which made Rogge breathe a deep sigh of relief.
But this time it was different, it was her father, who was deeply admired by all the people, who died on the battlefield. Monroe's grief Rogge can be imagined, it is precisely because of this that he feels a headache, he has no experience in comforting women at all, he can't bear to see Monroe sad, and now I really don't know how to talk to her about the death of the old military god!
It can be seen that Rogge is not a scumbag, otherwise he would be very happy, maybe he could take advantage of the situation.
Rogge scratched his head in annoyance, but knocked on the door anyway.
Monroe opened the door and was dressed in a simple white dress, which showed her delicate figure, which made Rogger's eyes light up.
Monroe didn't let him into the house, and the clothes she had just changed into were still on the bed, so it was inconvenient for Rogge to come in. She looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and Rogge's heart couldn't help but jump fiercely.
This girl is too tormenting! Rogge was a little distracted, and hurriedly pressed his mind, now is not the time to think about these things.
"I'm here to repay your heart!"
Rogge stood in front of the door and spoke, taking out the thunder and handing it to Monroe, he had already eaten the book in the past few days. Although it cannot be said that all the content is integrated, it is not bad at all, and what is lacking is only careful thinking, and the content has been memorized thoroughly.
Including the matching thunder skills inside!
Although the white jade bone Rogge has not had time to think it through, after all, Yiduo is not pressing, and Rogge will not dislike too many combat skills.
From the point of view of the power of combat skills, the thunder is definitely not inferior to the Divine Fire Sutra, which makes Rogge call out that he has picked up the treasure. I didn't expect that the problem that had plagued most martial artists for a lifetime would be solved so easily.
First is the Divine Fire Sutra in the jade bones, and then the thunder that even saves Monroe, this is the luck that many people can't ask for in their lifetime!
Monroe stretched out her slender white jade hand and took the thunder, not surprised that Rogge returned the mental method to her so quickly. In a sense, she and Rogge are both in the same category, and both are reluctant to owe favors to others.
Monroe felt a trace of imperceptible loss in her heart, and when she saw that Rogge was still standing in front of the door, she hesitated and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?"
"Indeed, there is one more thing to tell you. Rogge gritted his teeth, he couldn't hide Monroe for too long, a long pain was better than a short pain, she needed to know the news of her father.
Monroe's eyes were as clear as jade, and Rogge subconsciously dodged a little, he had passed the news of the death of many brothers in the army, but he had not seen such a strange emotion now.
"The old military god died in battle...... Rogge didn't dare to look at Monroe's eyes, and said softly: "At noon three days ago, Wugong Hou fought fiercely against the two generalissimos of the Garno Kingdom, died of exhaustion, and was buried by the military!"
Monroe's delicate body trembled, she couldn't see any expression on her face, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "I know." The voice was cold, as if he did not eat the fireworks of the world, and did not reveal the slightest emotion.
Rogge moved his clumsy mouth, but he didn't know what to say in frustration.
"Dying on the battlefield is probably the best destination for my father. "Monroe seemed to be speaking to Rogge, and it was like talking to herself.
In a trance, she seemed to see the Jin Ge Iron Horse again, the old man who had been fighting all his life.
Monroe came back to her senses, and when she saw Rogge, who was entangled and didn't know how to comfort him, and was at a loss, she suddenly burst into laughter, like a hundred flowers blooming, but a line of tears slid down her cheeks.
"Don't worry, I've been mentally prepared for a long time," Monroe said softly, her eyes clear as water, "My father's suicide note has been sent to me a long time ago, and he has already anticipated his end......"
"This is the end he was hoping for......" Monroe murmured softly.
Rogge saw that she was distracted, and no matter how low her emotional intelligence was, she knew that she was a little redundant at this time, so she quietly retreated.
Monroe didn't need her own comfort, and although she couldn't hide her sadness, she was much stronger than she thought.
Rogge was relieved and felt much more relaxed.
The news of the death of the old god of war dealt a blow to the recalcitrant Kalk Kingdom, and the whole country mourned, and the people's hearts were greatly reduced, and they no longer had the optimistic illusions about the war that they had before.
This made many people sigh in their hearts, this old military god has an important position in the hearts of the people of the Kalk Kingdom.
The pillar of the country!
However, the pillar stone eventually fell, and there was no successor. Several generals who were placed high hopes on the royal family and regarded as the successors of the god of war, but they were unable to turn the tide, and under the pressure of the three major armies of the Garno Kingdom, they retreated again and again, and the important cities and towns that were lost one after another disappointed the royal family of the kingdom.
The talk of the ministers of the DPRK and China admonishing them to surrender was even more popular, which made the entire Kalk Kingdom stormy.
The momentum of the Garno Kingdom's offensive did not stop there, and the three major legions began to advance towards the Kalk King.
Battalion Commander Kutch has been having good luck in the past few days, and good news has been coming, and his expression is excited, and he can't help but smile when he has always been moody.
After receiving the news that the enemy military god had died in battle, Yuezhang's reply also arrived quickly. First, he verbally criticized the attack on the third battalion, accusing him of not being cautious enough. Then he praised him for rescuing the fat man, and told him to take good care of the little thorn man.
Reading between the lines, he unabashedly told Kachi that he must have a good relationship with the Thorn Prince, and even promised to help him ask the royal family to give him a lord.
The joy of the battalion commander of Kutch could hardly be concealed, and when the herald entered, he saw the usually serious commander, whose mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears.
"Lord Kutch, the order from the upper peak is to ask us to rest as soon as possible, join up with the cavalry battalion in three days, and march into the periphery of the imperial capital of the Kalk Kingdom before nightfall. ”
Kachi, who was still smiling just now, instantly stiffened, frowned uncomfortably, and said bitterly, "Are you sure you want us to join the cavalry battalion?"
The herald swallowed his saliva and said helplessly: "Yes, my lord, I have confirmed it twice!"
None of the troops wanted to march with the commander of the cavalry battalion, and the cavalry battalion, as the first battalion of the Third Legion, the ace unit, had always been arrogant, and everyone rode on war horses.
Long marches with a cavalry battalion are a nightmare for almost all infantry units, and you can't expect those guys on horseback to stop and wait for you often.
Even an officer equipped with a war horse is probably a little unbearable. The herald was bitter in his heart, and he would read this order to the officers and men of the whole battalion, and God knows what the infantrymen would do when they heard the news.
