Chapter 32: Tragedy
On this day, the weather turned cold and the breeze was cool.
Tianya City Barracks Command Office.
The city lord Sinle was still wearing the dark yellow armor, but his spirit was not as good as yesterday.
He sat at the command table, his face slightly pale, his hands on his head, his eyes closed, only the faint sound of breathing.
Because of the relationship between friends and colleagues for so many years, the military advisor Zehai felt distressed when he saw the city lord like this.
At this time, a small soldier brought a teenager in.
I saw that this young man was more than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a simple outfit, but he was also neatly dressed, his appearance was mediocre, he had no sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but he was also upright, and his aura was lofty.
This young man is none other than Rohr.
Luo Er entered the command office and looked at the two people in front of him, one of them looked a little similar to Hurd, sitting at the table, with a sad face, but it did not affect his heroism at all, presumably this should be the city lord.
The other was dressed in his usual attire, with a goatee, worried, sad, and nervous written on his face.
Luo Er said respectfully to Xinle: "Hello, Lord of the City, I don't know what you called me for?"
Xin Le came to his senses, opened his eyes with difficulty, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Listen to Steward Long, you saved the life of Xiao'er Hurd, and when I saw it today, my temperament is really extraordinary, and the hero is a young man!"
Hearing the city lord's compliment, Luo Er smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Lord the city lord, those two perpetrators are scum, and everyone will do to help." ”
Chinder: "Either way, you're Hurd's savior, my benefactor. I should thank you well, so that whatever you want, I will satisfy you within my means. ”
Luo Er scratched his head, couldn't think of what he wanted for a while, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of Lord Cheng Lord, but I can't think of what I want for a while, so it's better for you to owe this thank you gift first." ”
When Xinle and Zehai heard Luoer's words, they were both stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Xinle was teased by Rohr, and his expression was a little better.
Zehai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, quipped: "Haha, I can't imagine that there is such a thing as making others owe thanks." I think, let's do it, little brother, Steward Long praises you a lot, now is the time when Tianya City is in danger, and talented people are urgently needed, it is better to stay here first to help the city lord, and it is not too late for you to think of what you want. ”
Zehai is worthy of being an old friend of Xinle for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zehai is a roundworm in Xinle's stomach, and he knows Xinle's thoughts very well.
At the beginning, Sinle had the intention of recruiting talented people, but after all, Rohr was Hurd's benefactor, and if Sinler asked Rohr to stay, it would be quite embarrassing, and now it was proposed by the outsider Zehai, which was not so abrupt.
Xinle hurriedly chimed in: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, little brother I don't know what you think?"
Luo Er was naturally happy to hear others praise him as a talented man, but suddenly helped others to defend the city, and he didn't know if he could do it, so he said worriedly: "I originally lived in the mountains and forests, and I didn't learn the way to defend the city, but thanks to the love of the city lord, I ......."
Before Rohr could finish speaking, "Report ......!!!", a voice from far and near broke the harmonious chatting atmosphere.
A small soldier rushed in, his face was flushed, and he said with a nervous expression: "Report to the city lord." The Armagh Empire is attacking again!"
Xinle and Zehai looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Zinler said to Rohr, "Little brother, you stay here for a while, let's go check the situation, and then come back." ”
After saying that, Xinle and Zehai then set off to go out with the soldiers.
Rohr looked at the empty command office, bored and curious at the map on the command table.
At this time, Luo Er discovered that the territory pattern of the Nero Empire where he was located actually resembled a regular triangle, Tianya City was located at the apex, and a Tianya City became the button of Dika and Yamanelu Empire. Only then did I understand how important Tianya City was.
Luo Er had already heard that the city of Tianya was in danger, and now he took a closer look at the map, there were the troops of the Dika Empire in the northwest, the army of the Ama Empire in the northeast, and the twin cities of the Nero Empire in the south-east were also attacked by the Ama Empire.
Luo Er was speechless, thinking: Suffering from enemies on many sides, it seems that Yacheng will not be able to protect this day, and I wanted to agree to the city lord's request just now......
Suddenly, a young girl in her early twenties ran in tightly, her black hair was coiled up like a cloud, long bangs were combed on both sides, her smooth forehead was exposed, she was wearing clothes that had long since faded, her delicate face had a pair of big eyes with a worried look, her tall nose was slightly undulating, her small mouth was panting, there were some blood stains on her hands that had not been washed, and she was holding a small medicine bottle.
When the girl saw that the city lord was missing from the command office, she immediately ran to Luo Er and asked, "Where is the city lord?"
For the first time in fifteen years, when he heard such a beautiful woman speak so closely, he stammered for a moment: "The city ...... The lord of the city has gone outside. ”
When the girl heard this, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and there were words in her mouth: "It's bad, it's broken, I forgot to change the dressing." ”
Immediately, the girl hurried out again.
Looking at the shadow of the girl's departure, Luo Er smiled and secretly admired: This woman is so beautiful.
A cannon boom broke Rohr's reverie.
After a few muffled shelling sounds, the prelude to the performance of a tragic song began.
The sound of gold, the shouts of the horses, the clashing of swords, and the screams are endless, converging into a tragic song written by life, a life-urging song from hell.
This tragic song circulates in the empty alleys of the city of Heaven, the tragic tune constantly harasses the hearts of those who hide in the house, the timid always think about preparing to escape, the wolf-hearted think about making money from the dead, the vulgar lose their way and do not know what to do, the old and the sick and the disabled resign themselves to fate, the young cover their ears and weep, and the childless are all distressed.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a century, the tragedy finally died down in the sound of gold, and finally the whole world was quiet, and the silence was frightening.
Finally, a "squeak" broke the silence, and the bold man of a family slowly opened the door, poked in, and saw that there were no invincible troops outside, put down the big stone in his heart, and walked out of the door.
Seeing that everything was fine, everyone also took to the streets, discussing what to do in the future.
Listening to this sad song, Rohr's hands and feet were cold, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Before Luo Er came to this world, he lived in a peaceful country without war, and now that war is around him, he naturally feels a lot.
Rohr thought to himself: I used to think it was very cool to go to the battlefield to fight, but I didn't expect that now just listening to the sound is so frightening, I really don't know how many people's lives are exchanged for peace.
Luo Er massaged his cold hands, then continued to look at the map, silently thinking: If it were me, how would I defend this Tianya City, how would I end this war quickly?
After this battle again, Xinle's face was extremely pale, and his eyes were almost unfocused, but he still hurried to the command office with the generals to discuss strategies.
However, machinery also has a limit, not to mention a person, and when it came to a position about fifty meters away from the command office, Xinle also reached his limit, and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground.
