Chapter 240: The Meaning of a Soldier
The description of "the desert is lonely" may not describe this tornado that exudes terrifying power, but in terms of the literal and straightforward description, it is also very consistent with the "scenery" outside Fort Lali at this time, if you can ignore its own danger, this moving "landscape" can indeed be called shocking and magnificent.
The air had become dry and hot again, all the clouds above the blue sky had been banished, and the whole sky was filled with blazing red and dusty white, occupying everyone's vision and all attention.
His Royal Highness Dells looked at this "lonely smoke" and couldn't help but sigh:
"Ah, ignoring the contradictions and wars that arise from the differences between Bommer and our Tessali, the brilliance of this magic is truly beautiful. ”
He didn't sit on the top of Fort Lali as usual, overlooking his fortress and the enemy in the distance, after all, there were only so many men left, and it was not conducive for His Highness Dells to stand so far away to pass on military orders, although by now they had no other military orders to carry out except to defend and disguise......
But the leader of the army who can advance and retreat with the soldiers and live and die together is beside him, which can still make these soldiers who are determined to die feel excited, although they no longer expect them to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is just a life-giving task, even if everyone is voluntary, but it is still very easy to mutiny in the team, so His Royal Highness Dells also stood with a group of soldiers who stayed behind to die at this time.
The knights beside him heard the sigh of His Highness Dells, and felt something, but instead of looking at the fierce and mighty flame tornado like His Highness, he stretched out his hand and put his hand on the city wall, and his eyes also patrolled on the countless mottled traces of time on the city wall, but he also sighed with the same emotion:
"Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates also think so, magic is really a magnificent and magical power, whether it is the flame tornado of the Bommer dog, or the barrier that is still protecting us at this moment, it is so powerful and suffocating......"
This knight's identity is like that of the three Keith swordsmen to His Highness Wells, a reliable confidant who is as close as a brother, and he echoes what His Highness Dells said full of sighs and recognition, but he is more focused on the magic barrier on his side than the flaming tornado in front of him.
"But I think now, there has never been a time when I have been able to realize more clearly than at this moment, that the magnificent walls that have silently guarded us for so many years are no better than a 'thin' barrier, and this better barrier is no match for a flaming tornado that can destroy not a single enemy soldier!"
When the knight said this, there was a long-hidden frustration in his eyes, and a deep confusion, perhaps only when facing the great horror of life and death like this, the royal guards like them couldn't help but say what they thought in their hearts, after all, even if the Tesali royal family didn't use them as tools, but as a royal guard, they couldn't have too many ideas, but in fact, who knows how much people's inner thoughts can be reduced.
In fact, the power of time is undoubtedly the strongest, in the years that accompanied His Royal Highness Dells to garrison Fort Lali, this knight, as a royal guard, has actually accepted himself as a leading general stationed in the frontier fortress, such a different identity, and also identifies with them from the bottom of his heart to leave his homeland, sweat, youth, and Blood and tears, even the generals and soldiers who sacrificed their lives, but the more he identified with these lovely bastards, the more he couldn't understand the sacrifice of these bastards.
...... Is it worth it, or is it not worth it?
"So, what is the purpose of our existence?!"
It is precisely such a moment of crisis that will make such an iron-blooded warrior doubt the meaning of his existence, right?
With powerful magic, what's the use of them warriors who are useless for it?
As!
After all, magic can't think, and it doesn't summarize learning.
It's better to farm!
After all, even though magic can simplify many processes of farming, and even regulate moisture, weather, and so on, even so, the person who uses magic to farm the land is still indispensable.
Just like a modern, scientific and material society, although artificial intelligence can be used as a tool to assist human memory and organize information, it is impossible to replace human thinking and make choices.
The hesitation of knights, for modern warfare, is like possessing nuclear weapons, and there is no difference between the crazy shouts and inner interrogations of the soldiers.
......
"Little Jack, when did you become such a girl? It's not like the little general who beat us veterans to the ground as soon as he came here!
The strange thing is that the soldiers stationed next to His Royal Highness Dels and the knight interjected at this time, and he didn't have the slightest scruple about the identity of the royal family of Dels and the identity of the knight is also a general, he was a small soldier and was not restrained, and generously counted the literary exclamation of Knight Jack.
"Hahaha! I told you a long time ago, isn't little Jack still a child!"
"Hahaha! Little Jack wants to do so much, being able to die on the battlefield is the most glorious way for a soldier to die!"
"Hahaha! yes, I don't want to die in my own bed!"
What's even more strange is that the many soldiers around him, following the soldier's interjection, began to angrily scold Knight Jack's mouth cannon and frolic, although the waist is still straight, and the eyes are sharp, but the face is not serious, but shows a frank smile, even if he is about to die in battle, he has no regrets.
What's even more strange is that the object of ridicule showed a thoughtful expression, and His Royal Highness Dells, who looked like he was "offended", showed a sunny smile just like these soldiers who had escaped a group of ruffians, and swept away the gloomy face before.
The faces of the two middle-aged uncles and the "soldiers" who were so old that they had to walk with crutches trembling laughed at the sky in the face of this alternative magical scene, and another heroic spirit came out vigorously.
The gags and open-minded laughter of these soldiers woke up the knight Jack, whether it was a royal guard or a general in the border fortress, they were all soldiers, and the meaning of a soldier was to protect the family and defend the country.
But if the world is unsatisfactory, who can guarantee that his life will always be satisfactory?
Is it because the enemy is too strong that he will be caught or unable to kill himself with his sword?
Isn't it enough to be faithful and dutiful, but also to force yourself to carry the whole kingdom on your back?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will either be crushed by the heavy blame, or you will be broken!, you are lonely, and the young lady warms you with a movie
