Chapter 29: Providence
Then turn back to the side of the Second Swordsman. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Frank saw that Leonard and the others were already turtles in the urn, and he didn't want to increase the unnecessary casualties in vain, so he shouted loudly to the other party: "Leonard! I advise you to surrender quickly, and don't fight the trapped beasts in vain." ”
Leonard knew at a glance that it was Frank, the emperor of the Lars Empire, who was shouting, so he closed one of his eyes lightly and calmly shot back at the other party: "Frank! The combined forces of the Republic of Vosfita, Jiluo and Nakonaru will soon annihilate your main force and come to reinforce us."
Your Lars Empire is already a country at the end of its power and on the verge of destruction. As the winners, why would we listen to an emperor who is about to die? If you want to surrender, the Second Swordsman Regiment is more than happy to accept it. When the mercenaries heard this, they were immediately encouraged, their morale was greatly boosted, and their hearts immediately felt less nervous.
When an adjutant general standing beside Frank heard this, he felt frustrated, and he knew that the coalition was powerful, but he couldn't help but stand up; he raised his sword and pointed it at Leonard's nose, and forcibly argued with an unusually hard mouth: "Fart! Your Majesty, the main force of our country will not be so easy to be wiped out! They will definitely defeat the so-called Triple Alliance and return to the country safely." It's you, the Republic of Vosfitta, the First Army, and the Second Swordsmen, who are destined to hide here today!"
Seeing this, Bran stepped forward and stood out of the queue, shouting at the deputy general of the Lars Empire, desperately venting his anger at the enemy: "Your Lars Empire has brazenly sent troops to invade our motherland Bagram, which has completely violated morality.
The Imperial Army also wantonly and indiscriminately killed innocent people, raped and burned, and committed unspeakable heinous crimes in our country. Your country's reputation is already stinking on the continent of Farusion. The leaders and people of all countries have become intolerable and outraged by your tyrannical behavior.
Therefore, the Republic of Vosfita, Jiluo, and Nakonaru decided to jointly send troops and formed a coalition of 150,000 troops to attack you. This includes the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta, which ranks first on the mainland of Farusion and has never suffered defeat. However, your main force is only 50,000 men, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the First Army. Isn't it obvious what will happen in the end!?
Frank, the main culprit in waging the war, of course, everyone will be punished. But shouldn't you blind obedience to him come to your senses now?Do you want to destroy with your Emperor, or do you immediately realize your mistakes and ask for our forgiveness and forgiveness?" The information about the 150,000 men of the coalition army, of course, was told to him by Crotty.
The officers and soldiers of the Lars Empire have always thought that the crusade against the mercenary association of the Duchy of Bagram is still a matter of course, and they have never heard that the size of the coalition army is as high as 150,000. As a result, when many soldiers of the Lars Empire heard this, they couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, and began to become dazed and hesitant.
While the officers of the Lars Empire were noncommittal and puzzled by Bran's statement. Some low-level soldiers have begun to whisper: "Is this really the case?" "Your Majesty launched a war of aggression?" "I heard from a relative who returned from a foreign country that seems to be like this!"
Seeing that the army's heart was shaken by this, the lieutenant general of the Lars Empire was sweating profusely with anxiety, and he loudly refuted it regardless of his opening: "Lies! -- all lies made up by guys with ulterior motives! These are all the words of the Republic of Vosfitta and Cleos to slander Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Bran did not hesitate for a moment, and then asked the other party rhetorically: "Since what I said is a lie." So what is the real situation, and why do the people of the rest of the continent of Farusion believe such lies?"
When the adjutant general heard this, he choked like a stab in his throat for a long time, and finally reluctantly and slurred the so-called "truth": "This... This... The truth is that the mercenary association of the Principality of Bagram has kidnapped our crown prince with the intention of plotting against us.
That's why our country sent troops to fight against Bagram. And there are neither so many coalition forces. The First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta was also not that strong. Because Cleos is one of the Seven Heroes of the Ancients, people from other countries will listen to his lies and fabricate them. In the end, our army will definitely win. ”
Seeing that the deputy general's explanation was full of flaws and inadequate, Bran further pressed the other party: "Then what is the number of coalition forces? How strong is the combat effectiveness of the First Army? As one of the Seven Heroes of the Antiquity, the Elf King Cleos, and all the people on the continent have confirmed the facts, do you dare to deny it?"
Seeing that the adjutant general wanted to open his mouth again, Frank pulled the lie bigger and bigger, and the more outrageous he said, he hurriedly stopped the man: "Don't speak again!"
Next, Frank took over Bran's words and announced loudly: "Even if the strength of the coalition is extremely strong, our Lars Empire will not give in easily because of this. As for the main forces of our country, have they committed some inhumane acts in the Principality of Bagram. Now it's just your words. We have no way of confirming.
However, you have brazenly invaded the territory of our country, wantonly burned, killed, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of unforgivable crimes, but these are irrefutable facts that are placed in front of everyone's eyes. Destroy you, and the Marquis Alonso of the Republic of Vosfitta will surrender to us. When the time comes, I wonder who is begging whom?" Obviously, the emperor's words were all addressed to the officers and soldiers of the Lars Empire who were present. The problem with the lieutenant is that he only knows how to gamble with Bran, constantly lies, and completely forgets who he is saying to listen.
Immediately afterwards, in order not to give the other party a chance to refute again, Frank raised the sword in his hand, pointed it directly at Leonard's face, and asked loudly: "Leonard! Let me ask you one last time, do you choose to destroy or surrender?"
On the one hand, Frank believed that he would inevitably die after all, and deliberately gave time for Bran to tell the truth, so that his men could give up their senseless resistance after his death and reduce the casualties that the Lars Empire would face. On the other hand, the Emperor admired Leonard and Bulla's shouting performance, and could not bear to kill them, so he tried to persuade them to surrender one last time.
Frank's words immediately lifted the spirits of his subordinates. I saw that the officers and soldiers of the Lars Empire waved their weapons one after another, and began to shout loudly: "Yes! Destroy them!" "Long live the Lars Empire!-" "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!-"...
Seeing this, Leonard sneered, drew his sword, pointed it at Frank's face, and replied loudly: "Don't be too happy, Frank. Look back behind you. The vanguard of reinforcements has captured the city of Mandolia. Your nation is about to perish. Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, and victory is at hand! Behind us is a great river that cannot be crossed! If you want to live, follow me, don't be a seed!"
When the lieutenant who was standing next to Frank heard this, he hurriedly looked back: "What!?-" I saw that in the direction of Mandoria, billowing black smoke was rising.
This time inside the city of Mandolia. Several of Crotty's remaining members in the city were standing in civilian clothes in an alley around the corner of a secluded neighborhood. Across the block, the camping area of the Lars Imperial City Defense Force was blazing with flames.
I saw a masked man in black jump up in front of Crotty's subordinates, jumped onto a towering wall, stood firmly on the wall with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and replied in an unusually calm tone: "Who I am, you don't need to know." As soon as the man flashed, he disappeared.
Turn back again. This situation immediately caused a serious blow to the morale of the Lars Imperial Army. In particular, when the militia of the reserve forces saw this, they could not help but feel timid, their fighting spirit plummeted, and they all lamented pessimistically: "It's over!-" "We are completely finished!-" "How could the coalition forces come so quickly!?-"....
Seeing this, Frank could not help but be shocked, and secretly admired his opponent, and at the same time felt that he had been too gentle and procrastinated, and that he would lose the battle if he continued to consume it like this, and then shouted to the whole army: "In this case, what does it matter if the city of Mandoria is lost? The whole army is attacking!--I must give me one breath to annihilate the Republic of Vosfitta, the First Army, and the Second Swordsmen!"
The current battle situation is still the same: more than 3,000 mercenaries of the Second Swordsman Regiment are facing the front and rear attacks of more than 7,500 main forces of the Lars Empire. Frank still has a clear chance of winning.
After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers closest to the Second Swordsman Regiment and the Lars Imperial Reserve Militia raised their weapons, shouted loudly, and rushed over first. "Rush!-" "Kill!-"...
Crotty, who had already arrived here and had been hiding in the treetops of a nearby tree to watch the battle, saw that the time was ripe and recited the golden mantra in his mouth: "The spirit of Xuanjin, the foundation of all things." Please activate the power of the curse immediately...", with the same result, reappearing. Click... The weapons of the militia officers and men were all broken.
The officers and soldiers of the Lars Empire, who were holding the broken weapon in two, were all surprised and shouted loudly: "What's going on!?" "What's wrong with my spear!?" "My sword...", "My knife...", "What the hell is this..."...
Mel, who had been standing silently behind Leonard, saw this, remembering Kevin's sacrifice and the crimes committed by the Lars Imperial Army in Bagram, and couldn't help but run to the regimental commander, shouting loudly with great excitement: "This is the will of God!" - Heaven is helping our Second Swordsman Regiment to punish the Lars Imperial Army, which is full of evil!"
When Leonard heard this, he praised his younger brother's performance: "Mel, that's a good point!—but remember not to be overly reckless, lest you cause unnecessary casualties." ”
Hearing that this was the will of heaven, the militiamen of the Lars Empire, who were already anxious and terrified, threw their weapons to the ground one after another, shouting loudly, and turned around and fled: "What!?" "This is the will of heaven!-" "Run away!-" "We can't win!-"Your Majesty! Without weapons, we can't do anything!-"... Many of the militia members fell to the ground as they turned to flee, and they continued to flee in embarrassment.
Seeing this, the lieutenant who stood beside Frank drew his sword at his waist, and was about to step forward and take the lead in slaying the deserters, while shouting angrily and bitterly: "Bastards!--a bunch of useless waste!--all must be executed! All those who escape will be killed!--"
Seeing this, Frank stretched out his broad and powerful right palm, stopped in front of the adjutant general, and shouted to stop the other party: "Let them go!" -- we cannot force unarmed soldiers to serve as cannon fodder and meat shields on the battlefield and die in vain. "The Emperor did not want to see so many young people lose their precious lives for such a meaningless battle, and he also deeply understood that even if the Second Swordsman Regiment was eliminated, the military strength of the Lars Empire would not be able to compete with the main force of the coalition army, and it was doomed to defeat after all.
Seeing this, the adjutant general couldn't help but raise his head to the sky, frowned and let out a long sigh, plunged his sword into the ground, and shouted loudly and unwillingly: "Your Majesty!
Immediately afterwards, all the generals under the command of Frank reminded and admonished their subordinates one after another: "Keep your formation! Remember! We are the most elite regular army of the Lars Empire, and we cannot compare with these shameful pariahs who have escaped from the battle! It is the duty of all of us to be infinitely loyal to Your Majesty and to fight for the honor of the Lars Empire...
At this moment, the militia, which was constantly breaking and fleeing in the rear, had already disrupted part of the Lars Imperial Army. Seeing this scene, the retinue mercenary who had a deep blood feud with the Lars Empire, Bran, finally couldn't hold back and broke out completely. Seeing that his face was flushed with anger, his eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were eager to burst into flames, and he drew out the sword at his waist with great righteousness and grief and indignation, and pointed it directly at Frank's face, and rushed forward with a loud shout: "The opportunity has come!--Brothers!---
Think of our motherland, which has been brutally ravaged by the Lars Imperial Army! Think of our relatives who were brutally murdered by the Lars Imperial Army! Frank, the initiator and culprit of all this, is standing in front of us! Now, the enemy's formation is out of order! Frank! -- You vile and shameless old bastard! Give back the lives of my parents and siblings!—..."
The unusually fierce words of the entourage mercenaries immediately detonated the incomparably bitter hatred that was suppressed in the hearts of more than 3,000 mercenaries: "The old Frankish thief is here!-" "All the pigs of the Lars Empire are going to die!-".. One by one, their eyes were red, and they raised their swords high, and while they cursed angrily, they rushed towards the enemy with great recklessness.
Seeing this, the lieutenant general of the Lars Empire hurriedly commanded loudly: "Hurry! Take the protection of Your Majesty's safety as the first priority!" Seeing this, Frank closed his eyes and began to pray silently. The Emperor was once again deeply aware of what a serious mistake he had made.
Under the extremely frenzied atmosphere of the scene, Mel couldn't help but feel full of blood in his heart, and rushed forward to repay the blood debt to the Lars Empire on behalf of Kevin: "Kevin! I will also avenge you!" He only knew that Kevin was killed by the poisoned arrows of the Lars Empire, but he never thought that the enemy who ordered the release of poisoned arrows was dead, and this revenge had been avenged. Seeing this, Leonard and Bran knew that it was impossible for them to order the mercenaries to retreat, so they rushed forward with their men.
