The dense Flowing Wind Army Commander drove straight in, killing the Demon Army. There was chaos, firelight, the sound of fighting, the cries of escape, the screams, and countless sounds of fighting converged into a torrent, and the noise soared into the sky.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Leo, the commander of the Guards Brigade, led a team of armored beasts to the Demon God Emperor, his eyes were fierce and terrifying, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, save the kingdom, and save yourself!" Humanity hasn't been encircled yet, and it's too late to retreat! ”

Glancing at him, the Demon God Emperor said lightly, "How can I leave?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's still too late! I have prepared a good horse for you, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'll cover the back road for you with the Guards Brigade! Your Majesty, take care of yourself all the way! ”

The Demon God Emperor looked at Leo with a gloomy face, and it took a long time before he spoke up: "Because of my decision, the kingdom launched this western expedition. Now that half of the kingdom's soldiers are dead here, can I still leave? I don't have the face to go back to the gloating faces of the men of Mon Khan, nor to the people of the kingdom. ”

"Father!" A crisp female voice came out and interrupted the Demon God Emperor, Princess Cardin walked out of the back tent, she was about to curtsy to the Demon God Emperor, but was interrupted by the Demon God Emperor: "When is it, there are still so many false courtesies!" ”

"Yes! Father, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, father, you are the foundation of the country, as long as you are alive, the kingdom will keep the fundamental ......"

Cardin was speaking smoothly when the Demon God Emperor suddenly interrupted her: "Cardin, there are some things you don't understand. Some people can only win, not lose. Once he fails, he is nothing! ”

Cardin shouted, "Father, why? Since ancient times, how can there be a general who does not defeat a war? Sterling in front of him, he didn't lose the battle in Oss? In Pai was forced to sign an alliance with us? Zichuan Xiu, wasn't he also beaten by General Ling Buxu in Red River Bay? Even Liufeng Shuang, who is known as the number one general of mankind, has she also been defeated by Zichuan Xiu? ”

"But they're not God-Emperors." The Demon God Emperor smiled faintly, with indescribable pride and desolation in his smile: "In this world, there is only the victorious Carter Emperor, and there is no defeated Carter." ”

Seeing that Cardin was still about to speak, the Demon God Emperor shook his hand: "Leo, you send someone to take the princess out of the encirclement and retreat back to the kingdom - this is an order, there is no need to fight again." ”

Leo immediately carried it out, and the princess's guards pushed Princess Cardin into the carriage and escorted her southward. The avenue to the east has been blocked by the Southeast Army and the Far East Army, and the wind and frost have been inserted obliquely from the northwest, and its strong soldiers and horses are rapidly outflanking the periphery of the battlefield.

The Captain of the Yerma Army shouted angrily: "Your Majesty! Please give the order. Yun Qianxue, that rat, actually dared to escape! Weichen wants to intercept the Yulin Army, and let Yun Qianxue's shameless villain know the horror of the kingdom's anger! ”

Leo glanced at him, disdain in his eyes.

Yerma blows well, go and intercept the Yulin Army, what will he do to intercept it? The Third Army, which had lost its troops, could barely support its position, but because of its blind belief in the Demon God Emperor, the soldiers had not yet begun to flee in large numbers. It was impossible for Yerma not to know that he used the excuse of sending troops to intercept Yun Qianxue, but in fact, he just wanted to avoid the Demon God Emperor so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

The Demon God Emperor stood at the door of the tent, reflecting the noise and noise outside, and the silence of the Demon God Emperor had the power of ten thousand jun.

Leo understood the psychology of the God Emperor at this time: compared to losing this doomed war, Yun Qianxue's escape was a heavier blow to the God Emperor. The important minister he had always admired and cultivated was actually a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death, which made the God Emperor feel deeply disappointed.

"Your Majesty! General Habayashi asks to see! ”

"What?" Yerma exclaimed.

Demon God Emperor Huo Ran turned around, his face showing joy: "Announce him in!" ”

The clouds and snow walked in. He knelt down and saluted to the Demon God Emperor with a dignified attitude, and said calmly: "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"Time is pressing, Yu Linqing, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yu Linqing, where is Yu Linjun now? How's it going? ”

"Your Majesty, under the leadership of His Highness Karan, the headquarters of the Yulin Army is moving in the direction of Tarun City in the southeast. When Wechen left, our unit was pursued by the Flowing Wind Army, but there was no interception in front of us. ”

"How many men and horses have escaped the encirclement safely?"

"It's chaotic and can't be counted. About 12 regiments of the Yulin Army can leave in formation, less than 30,000 people. But some brothers from the Fifth and Eleventh Armies joined us, and it was estimated that 40,000 men would be able to break out of the encirclement. ”

The Demon God Emperor nodded and whispered, "Is there only forty thousand?" The million-strong army at the time of entering the customs has only 40,000 remnants left to defeat the generals? ”

"Your Majesty, the situation should be better than Wei Chen estimated. The encirclement of the human race is too large, and their forces are insufficient to maintain it, and there will inevitably be many gaps. The soldiers and horses who can break through will never be the only one of Weichen. However, according to intelligence, Dilin has taken Dak and is heading here. If he arrives, we will ......" Yun Qianxue wanted to say: "It's hard to fly with wings." But he put it mildly: "It's more difficult." ”

The Demon God Emperor nodded, and suddenly asked, "Yun, why are you back?" ”

"Weichen is incompetent, and he can't stop His Royal Highness the prince from doing anything wrong, it is already a capital crime, and he is already terrified. If he left His Majesty to escape alone, Weichen really couldn't do it. ”

The Demon God Emperor was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke up: "Yun Qianxue, you are very good. ”

"Wechen is really ashamed."

Seeing that the situation was so urgent, but the Demon God Emperor and Yun Qianxue had such a peaceful conversation, wasting precious time in vain, Yerma was furious when he heard it, and interjected: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, let's think of countermeasures first, right?" ”

"Yerma, don't worry, you have time to escape." The Demon God Emperor said lightly, turned around and strode out of the tent.

Leo glanced at Yerma with disdain, and said in a low voice, "Duke, your cowardice stinks like!" Following behind the Demon God Emperor, he also went out.

Yerma froze in place, his face red.

The fire was burning, and the sky was blazing red. The remnants of the Third Army and the Guards Brigade gathered in front of the main camp.

Compared to yesterday's battle, the array of soldiers had withered away, and the remnants of the soldiers were wounded, tired, and in tatters. But there was still a pride in their eyes, a kind of anger that was unwilling to admit defeat, and a look that couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

The Sixteenth Army surrendered, the Iron Arm Army collapsed, the Yulin Army fled, and the Southwestern Army was surrounded and annihilated—just five hours ago, the above armies were all strong divisions that had never been defeated, and symbols of the undefeated kingdom. But right in front of their eyes, these prestigious ace powerhouses were defeated and wiped out by humans one after another.

Those ignorant and innocent demon soldiers firmly believe that the strength of the demon kingdom is unmatched, the wisdom and wisdom of the demon god emperor are innate, and the kingdom's infinite combat power war machine makes victory like a potato growing out of the ground, just like the sun rising in the east. To this day, thousands of defeated soldiers have passed through their positions, and they have seen the soldiers crying for their lives and fleeing in the same clothes as them, and the same bloody warriors of the Golden Clan crying to them about how their comrades were slaughtered by the human cavalry. Seeing the invincible legions crumbling before their eyes, and the valiant warriors being hunted down, the angry chests of the Senean soldiers were like a fire trapped in their chests, and the anger was filled with fear: Could it be that the kingdom would really fail? Commanded by the Demon God Emperor himself, with so many excellent generals and so many brave soldiers, would a powerful legion really be so defeated?

They desperately need answers, and now, the best person to give them answers has appeared, the Demon God Emperor has appeared!

The Demon God Emperor appeared in front of the army, still radiant, but there was a deep melancholy in his eyes. He looked at the crowd with stern eyes: "Soldiers, warriors of Senea, my children, we have been defeated. ”

Black smoke rose in the distance, the sound of fighting kept coming, and a deathly silence hung over the crowd, no one shouted, no one cried, and the soldiers just stared blankly at the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God Emperor is their god, their undefeated faith, and they will always shine the sun in the sky.

Now, the sun is out.

The Demon God Emperor said calmly, and there was great power in that calm voice: "Since ancient times, our nation has been suffering like a scorching hell. Famine, death, war, pestilence, our kingdom is a land of calamity and tears. I thought I could lead you out of this place of calamity and end this journey of tears and death.

However, in the end we failed.

My children, you fought valiantly, worthy of the Kingdom and your loved ones.

Because of my incompetence and recklessness, the kingdom has suffered a great loss, and you have paid a great price. I am ashamed of the kingdom, and even more sorry for the warriors who died fighting for me. ”

To the group of soldiers in front of him, the Demon God Emperor bent down and bowed deeply.

A stunned fluctuation swept through the crowd, and in the face of the Demon God Emperor's unprecedented apology, Yun Qianxue, Leo and other generals reacted first, and hurriedly knelt down to return the salute. Then came the officers, like a strong wind blowing through the fields, and the soldiers fell to their knees in rows like waves of rice blown down by the wind.

"Failure is not the end, suffering has just begun. After gaining military superiority, mankind will inevitably seek to dominate us politically, they will plunder our land, enslave our people, destroy our history, writing, and traditions, seek to fundamentally assimilate the great gods, turn us into vassals and lackeys of mankind, and turn our descendants into mercenaries of mankind!

Soldiers, some of you have died in battle, some have survived. Those who die in battle, I will lead you to the Great Demon God, and tell him that his people are worthy of the kingdom's prestige by fighting bravely.

Warriors who survive, you have a more difficult and tenacious task, tell our children the truth, and tell them that there was such a demon god kingdom in history, his people were industrious and tenacious, his warriors were brave and loyal, his emperor was wise and brave, the land was vast, and the army was extremely powerful! In front of the powerful Demon God Kingdom, all the human empires are trembling!

Tell our children and grandchildren that all human propaganda is a lie, and that in front of the united Protoss, the seemingly powerful human army is nothing more than a chicken, and they cannot rule the Protoss forever!

The only reason why we failed was not because our warriors were not brave enough, not because our generals were not good enough, the only reason was that we were not united enough, and the despicable traitors betrayed our kingdom, while humanity was able to achieve unprecedented unity, and we encountered the most powerful human army in history.

The Protoss army was once infinitely close to victory, and although it was ultimately defeated, we shook the continent!

Soldiers, stay alive and remember: it is impossible to conquer such a mighty nation as the Protoss forever. The rule of mankind will not last long, and one day, our children and grandchildren will make a comeback with the banner of gold! May they be brave, may they be strong, may they have better luck than we do!

Let the children and grandchildren remember my prophecy: when the golden lion banner flashes again, our emperor will appear again!

Let them remember this phrase for generations to come: "Long live the Kingdom of the Demon God!" ”

"Long live the Demon God Kingdom!" Fifty thousand people shouted at the same time, and the cry was like thunder, echoing across the earth in the distance, overpowering the huge roar of battle from afar.

The kingdom's golden lion flag, which had been fluttering in front of the main camp, was lowered, and the soldiers let out a cry of pain when they saw this flag falling. The invincible golden lion flag, a symbol of the kingdom's strength and glory, has finally come to an end?

The Demon God Emperor folded the soft silk banner and handed it to Yun Qianxue: "Give this to Kalan, although this child is not very successful, but at this time, he is the only one who can support the kingdom." ”

It's not just about handing over a flag, it's about passing on the throne to Kalan. Looking at the handsome and kind face of the Demon God Emperor, he understood that His Majesty had made up his mind to fight here to the death, his throat was like a piece of iron, Yun Qianxue fell to his knees, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence: "Your Majesty, please let Lord Leo take on this task." Please allow Wechen to fight with you! ”

"Leo and the Guards Brigade can't go fast, they will be caught up by the human cavalry. The times are different for the cloud. In the days to come, the kingdom needs more cunning and wise politicians who can judge the situation, and a simple samurai like Leo can't play a role, rather than let him die of loneliness and old age in depression, it is better to let him be brilliant for the last time. ”

"Your Majesty!" The clouds are shallow, and the snow is like rain. He took the flag, carefully put it into his personal pocket, and kowtowed heavily to the Demon God Emperor: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely hand over the flag safely to His Highness Karan!" Please take care, Your Majesty! ”

The Demon God Emperor smiled and said, "Assist Karan, tell him to listen to his sister more if he has something." ”

This was the last time Yun Qianxue saw the Demon God Emperor, and the Demon God Emperor's bright smile kept echoing in his heart. This majestic and peerless hero is invincible in his life. Even if he failed in the end, recalling him, whether it was an enemy or a friend, everyone had to admit that he was the most terrifying and greatest warrior of the Golden Age.

It was all dark, but the fierce battle showed no sign of ending, and under the oppression of the three huge battle groups behind Stirling, Wenhe and Liufeng Frost, the demons had lost any hope of victory. The Demon God Emperor ordered to give up all baggage, and the retreating Demon Clan soldiers set fire to their own camp, in order to block the pursuit of the Wind Army behind them. The burning camp burst into flames, illuminating the sky red, and it could be seen twenty miles away.

Under the reflection of the red fire, the breakout battle of the demon army began. Under the onslaught of the armored beasts that opened the way, a large number of demon infantry and cavalry swooped down on the position of the Far Eastern Army.

This is the final battle. At the same time that the huge rumble of the armored beast legion sounded again, Zi Chuanxiu received a strict order from the headquarters of the Southeast Army: "The Far Eastern Army is extremely persistent until reinforcements arrive, and the Demon God Emperor must not be allowed to escape!" ”

One side is determined to hold on, the other side is desperate to escape, that most cruel night, the bloody highland has become the focus of contention between the two sides, the demon army swooped up in a completely different posture of death, and the Xiuzi battalion defending the high ground started hand-to-hand combat. Because at night, long-range firing weapons can play little role, and both armies can only rely on hand-to-hand hand-to-hand combat.

Close quarters combat at night with armored beasts desperate for their lives was a nightmare for the Far Eastern Army. In the blood-red firelight, the figures of the fighting flickered from time to time, splashed blood, the running figures suddenly fell to the ground, the terrifying cries were endless, the last warriors let out a desperate roar, on the bloody high ground position, the corpses of the dead built a hill on the flat ground, and in just half an hour of fighting, the Far Eastern Army suffered more than 5,000 casualties. The commander of the position, Roger, himself was knocked unconscious by a stick and was carried off the position by his subordinates. His troops were overwhelmed by the surging Armored Beasts and Demon Soldiers, and their positions were lost.

On that night of fierce fighting, fierce gongs sounded everywhere to announce the warning. The bloody loss tore a big hole in the positions of the Far Eastern Army. From this gap, the demon army hurried through and escaped in panic. The High Command of the Far Eastern Army tried to close this gap. Shirakawa and Shirokawa Shu with reinforcements tried to retake the Bloody Heights position, but it was like using a beer bottle to stuff a dam that had been washed away by a flood, and it didn't help at all. The three counterattacks were all fought back by the demons, leaving only a lot of corpses, and the armored beast troops firmly controlled this position, as a passage for the retreat of the demon army.

Counterattacks failed again and again, and in the end, Zichuan Xiu finally realized that his morale and physical strength had been seriously weakened, and it was impossible for the Far Eastern Army, which was now at its lowest point, to stop the elite troops of the demon race who were eager to escape.

"The Demon God Emperor Legion has broken through our defense line and broken through to the east! Reinforcements are urgently needed! ”

A messenger to Sterling for help was dispatched, but until reinforcements arrived, Shikawa Shu was not idle. He found that although the actions of the demon army were chaotic, they were orderly and searchable. The retreating demon soldiers and horses were clearly divided into two parts. Some of them were ordinary demon soldiers of the Third Army, and under the leadership of the officers, they trotted forward at a rapid pace, without making the slightest stop; The other part is the soldiers and horses of the Guards Brigade dominated by armored beasts, which fell behind the army, using various terrains to resist on the spot, and hindering the pursuit of human soldiers and horses as much as possible.

After thinking about it for a while, Zi Chuanxiu immediately understood: "Because they can't run fast, are the armored beasts left behind as a death squad to block the attack?" Naturally, he guessed that the Demon God Emperor should be in the retreating troops of the Third Army.

He ordered: "Leave those armored beasts alone, they can't run away!" Chase the third army, the Demon God Emperor is in front! ”

In that chaotic night, the organizational system of the Far Eastern Army at all levels was completely disrupted, some troops were scattered, some troops were wiped out, and most of them experienced heavy attrition and casualties, and were washed away by the demons. It is almost an impossible task to smoothly convey orders to the various units.

Zichuan Xiu ordered the guards around him: "Shout, shout!" Let the troops who heard it all shout: "The King of Light has an order: whether you live or die, whoever catches the Demon God Emperor will have a bounty of five million!" ’”

In the dark night, the voices came and went: "The Demon God Emperor is in front!" Get him! ”

One to ten, ten to hundred, in the dark night, more and more troops joined in shouting: "Catch the Demon God Emperor, the bounty is five million!" ”

The cries grew louder and louder, and in the end it was simply deafening. Everyone was shouting feverishly, their eyes red. This is not only because of the huge bounty of five million, but also because the cry reveals an important message, revealing a sign of victory! You see, the King of Light has put a bounty on the Demon God Emperor, so we must be about to win!

Despite being swept away by the demons, despite the heavy casualties, and despite the arrogance of the demons' armored beasts, the triumphant ecstasy gave the soldiers endless motivation. Everything was chaotic, regardless of the queue formation, everything that could still crawl and still breathe was all action. Even the men who served in the army and the cooks in the houses picked up the kitchen knives and chased them east.

Shikawa Shu himself personally went to the front line to participate in the pursuit. He led the guards and gathered all the stragglers he encountered along the way. Whether it is the Xiuzi battalion or the half-orc soldiers, as long as they can still move, Zichuan Xiu has only one sentence for him: "Pick up arms and follow me!" ”

In the darkness of the chaos, Zichuan Xiu gathered more than 5,000 people. With these more than 5,000 people, he followed the retreating demon army all the way down. No one expected that the commander of the Far Eastern Army would have such courage to dare to track down the armored beast led by the Demon God Emperor with more than one regiment. On that dark road, the pursuing troops and the fleeing demon stragglers encountered from time to time, and the battles were one after another.

"Leave them alone! Just go east! Zichuan Xiu yelled. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, he had to rush to the front and block the way of the Demon God Emperor. If the Demon God Emperor was allowed to escape, the three-day desperate battle would be meaningless.

It's all messed up. If anyone could look down from above, he would find the night's chaos in a very strange state. On the road to the east, the pursuing human soldiers and horses and demon troops were actually advancing in a mixed group. The demon soldiers and horses were anxious to escape, and the human troops were bent on catching up with the Demon God Emperor in front, and did not want to entangle with these stragglers. As a result, there was an extremely rare scene: the marching demon soldiers and horses and the human soldiers and horses were mixed together. It's all right. Both sides are running desperately, the humans want to rush to the front to establish a second interception position, and the demons want to escape before the humans surround again, at this time, time is life!

When breaking through, the demon soldiers of the Third Army fought very bravely. In order to escape, they were united and rushed out as a complete armed force. But on the dark escape path, hearing the earth-shattering cry from behind him, the sense of fear controlled the hearts of the demon officers and soldiers. Zichuan Xiu's rapid interspersing created countless chaos and panic for the demons. In the darkness of the night, frightened cries arose: "Humanity has caught up!" Run for your life! ”

Panic spreads among the retreating demon army, and the thirst for life overrides everything. Under the close pursuit of Shikawa Xiu, the orderly retreat of the Third Army turned into a complete rout, the establishment was broken up, the authority of the officers was flouted, and all the wounded and baggage were left behind. The rout trampled on each other, pushed each other, trampled on the dead and the living, and the roads, paths, bridges, plains, hills, valleys, and woods were all filled with the rout, and the backpacks and weapons that were thrown on the road were scattered all over the ground, and no one picked them up. The demon soldiers refused to stay behind to serve as the blocking team. Seeing that the humans no longer attacked, they were afraid of delaying the opportunity to escape.

In this dark and chaotic night, there was chaos everywhere. The officer could not find the soldier, and the soldier could not find the commander. The rout of the army was like the collapse of a river, and it was out of control. The rout was scattered everywhere, and even the pursuing troops led by Shikawa Xiu were scattered. Later, there were only a few hundred people left around him, searching for the figure of the Demon God Emperor everywhere in the tens of thousands of demon rebellion.

Every time he caught a demon clan, Zi Chuanxiu asked him in a fierce voice in the demon language: "Tell me quickly, where is the Demon God Emperor?" ”

I don't know if those demon captives really don't know the whereabouts of the Demon God Emperor or because they are loyal and patriotic, no one said the whereabouts of the Demon God Emperor. Zichuan Xiu was greatly distressed, looking for the Demon God Emperor in this army of tens of thousands of people was like searching for needles in the sea.

He was almost a little desperate, but suddenly saw a demon cavalry passing by in the oblique oblique, their uniforms were bright, they were tall and big, and they were obviously the elite of the demon soldiers. In this chaotic night, this group of demon cavalry is different. Between advance and retreat, they appear more orderly and disciplined.

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes lit up: "It's them, on!" Before he could finish speaking, he was the first to rush forward, and with a thunderous sword, he cut down the cavalry at the front. The cavalry behind let out an exclamation and were about to come up to make a move, but the Xiuzi battalion moved faster and rushed up in a swarm. If the cavalry could not run, the mount under the crotch became an obstacle. The Xiuzi battalion suddenly rushed close and hugged it, and before the demon soldiers could bring out their spears and sabers, they had already pounced on them and ripped the cavalrymen off their horses, and everyone rolled on the ground and opened them.

This group of cavalry was fighting and screaming something, and Zi Chuanxiu couldn't understand it, probably asking for help from the demon soldiers passing by. But at this time, the catastrophe is coming, who can take care of other people's affairs, although the demon rout ran by like a tide, but no one stopped to lend a hand to them. In hindsight, even Zi Chuanxiu himself felt a smooth surprise: he only brought so many hundreds of people around him and dared to swagger and arrest people in the rout of the demon army, and once the tens of thousands of demon soldiers came to their senses, it would be strange if they were not torn apart!

The battle ended not long after, and dozens of demon cavalry were half killed. Under the threat of the swords of the soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion, all the rest were disarmed and sat cross-legged on the ground with their hands tied with belts. Zichuan Xiu looked at them one by one, and one of the big demon veterans caught his attention. This demon veteran is dressed in white hair, and his body is a head taller than that of ordinary demon soldiers. Although he tried his best to hide behind the other demon soldiers, his bloated and huge body stood out from the crowd among the short demon soldiers, and it was difficult not to attract attention. This demon veteran was dressed in the uniform of a low-level demon soldier, but his wide chin face and arrogant eyes told Zichuan Xiu that this person was a character who was used to commanding.

"You, stand up!"

In pure demon language, Zi Chuanxiu pointed at the demon soldier and shouted.

The old demon clan rubbed for a while, and finally stood up reluctantly. He hung his head and looked at the ground, not meeting Zichuan Xiu's eyes. Looking at him, Zi Chuanxiu searched hard in his mind: This demon clan looks a little familiar? Where have you seen him?

After a long time, a figure gradually appeared in my mind. It seemed like a story a long time ago. That night in the late autumn of the year 780, that bloody and thrilling night, at that time, this man was the commander of the legion. The nobles of the kingdom are just a traitor who surrenders to sincerity. That night, in the eyes of the nobleman of the kingdom, he was not much more noble than a reptile, and it was a great favor for him to glance at himself.

Who would have predicted that? The world can be turned upside down so greatly. The humble have become conquerors, while the arrogant have become prisoners.

Zichuan Xiu said calmly: "Duke Yerma, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

was called out by Zichuan Xiu, and Yerma raised his head suddenly. He looked at Zi Chuanxiu, his eyes full of confusion and fear. He didn't understand why the human officer in front of him could call out his name at a glance. Many years ago, he had seen Shikawa Xiu. But Zichuan Xiu at that banquet was very different from the enemy general in front of him who was covered in armor and blood.

He muttered quietly, "Who are you?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and asked bluntly, "Where is the Demon God Emperor?" Say it! ”

Yerma raised his head arrogantly and said nothing. His provocative chin raised at Zi Chuanxiu was clearly silently announced: "I know everything, but I just don't say it!" ”

"Good, good!" Zi Chuanxiu sneered: "The nobles of Senea, they really have a backbone. He winked, and several of the guards rushed forward and dragged Yerma out of the captives and into the darkness by the roadside. I only listened to the fierce collision of fists and feet with flesh and the cry of ghosts and wolves crying for help. In the dark night, the demon captives turned pale when they heard this.

After a while, the guards dragged Yerma—not Yerma anymore, but a pile of flesh that looked like he wanted Yerma very much—out. The officer ran to Zi Chuanxiu's side and whispered: "Lord Qiyu, he confessed." He said that the Demon God Emperor did not break through with the Third Army, and that he and the Guards Brigade remained in the encirclement. ”

"What!" Zi Chuanxiu shouted out loudly, and he glanced at the officer suspiciously: "Is it reliable?" ”

The officer also frowned, the emperor of the demon clan did not break through but voluntarily stayed to break the queen, this news is too unbelievable.

"Why don't you talk to him again?"

"Forget it." Shikawa Xiu looked at Yerma, who was beaten to the point that his head was broken and bleeding from all over his body. It's dying. If the officer continues to have a "good chat" with him, it is estimated that he will die.

"You find a few more demon soldiers to come out, check their confessions, and see if they are consistent."

The results of the interrogation came out quickly, except for a few diehards who refused to speak, the confessions of the demon soldiers were surprisingly unanimous: "The Demon God Emperor did not break through." He was also in the vicinity of Heights No. 2, with the Guards Brigade. ”

Zi Chuanxiu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he made a decision: "Stirling and the soldiers and horses of the Wind and Frost are sweeping the Guards Brigade, and it will not be useful for us to go back." Or just in case, if Yerma lied, or if they were all deceived by the Demon God Emperor? Let's keep chasing! Even if the Demon God Emperor can't be caught, listening to Yerma, Yulin Yun Qianxue broke through with them, but he was separated on the way. It's a big fish, let's catch him! ”

Zi Chuanxiu's pursuit was until dawn the next day, and the sky in the east was white, at this time, the pursuing soldiers and horses were so tired that they couldn't even lift their hands, and the soldiers ran so white that their faces turned blue and their lips were blue, if it weren't for the rebellion of the demon captives around them, they would all fall down on the pile of dead bodies and fall asleep.

Although tired, the results of the night were very rich, and the long list of prisoners captured, at least four or five thousand people, the only regret was that there were few generals and nobles among them. In addition to Yerma, there are only a few "white cloaks" such as viscounts and earls, and the cloud and light snow that I want to catch have not been touched, I don't know if this Yulin general has special legs and feet or everyone missed it on the road in the night. Thinking about it, Zichuan Xiu didn't have much regrets, after all, he was lucky enough to catch one Yerma, and he wanted to catch another Yun Qianxue and wipe out the leaders of Senea, so it would be inevitable that he would be able to look at Long.

On the way back, the road was littered with discarded weapons, corpses, and burning baggage. Follow-up infantry units have followed. Hordes of Far Eastern orc soldiers are patrolling the battlefield, looting the trophies of the demons and searching for the demon officers and soldiers who have slipped through the net.

Although they were tired, the officers and men were very excited, squeaking and chattering all the way. Their harvest this night was not small, capturing prisoners and killing the enemy is the same merit, Zi Chuan Xiu made a generous move, the Far East military merit award was rich, and more than 5,000 prisoners were captured, even if half of them were the credit of Zi Chuan Xiu himself - it is estimated that the commander is not so dark, right? - The remaining half is according to the head, and there are four or five captives per person, which is a lot of money. Not to mention how many Senean nobles and officers were there in it? In the future, if the war between humans and demons is stopped, then the ransom of these nobles alone will be enough for everyone to eat and drink.

Zi Chuanxiu didn't have the cheerful mood of his subordinates, he frowned, drooped his head all the way, and looked heavy. Some familiar subordinates deliberately made him happy: "Lord Commander, are you distressed about the bonus?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "Rabbit cub, keep an eye on your money bag, don't let them run away, if you don't send it to the prisoner camp, it can't be considered a bonus." Fuck off! ”

The subordinates laughed and dispersed, and Zi Chuanxiu looked around thoughtfully, he was suppressing the surging excitement in his heart.

The millennium of human suffering has finally come to an end today!

Bataan wiped out nearly 400,000 main forces of the demons in one battle, and the demons had no power to return to heaven, and this battle can be recorded in history forever.

The significance of the Battle of Bataan was not only military, but also political. Three hundred years ago, relying on the divine power of King Ming to defeat the demon soldiers, although it was also a victory, but that kind of victory always made people feel unreal, and the demons did not regard humans as victors, but regarded them as parasites hiding under the wings of King Ming. In the past three hundred years, this is the reason why the demons have repeatedly invaded the west. They have the psychological advantage that humans are cowardly and unworthy of the land, and are naturally warlike.

But this battle of Bataan did not rely on the divine power of King Ming, not on the ethereal divine power, but on the ordinary human soldiers and half-orc soldiers who fought with the demon army with real knives and guns, and won the victory. This victory played the majesty of human beings, and it was taken out with a solid heart!

This battle is enough to wash away the shame of the Battle of the Blue River three hundred years ago, and mankind has been proud since then.

The only thing that Zichuan Xiu is worried about is whether the Demon God Emperor is dead?

A group of cavalry rushed towards him, and Zichuan Xiu recognized it as the half-orc cavalry unit under his command, and the leader of the team was Dekun. He waved his hand at Dekun, who saw Zichuan Xiu and hurriedly ran towards it.

"Your Highness!" Dekun still had a wounded eye wrapped in gauze, and his body was covered in blood, and even the hair on his body was clotted with plasma. From afar, there was a pungent smell of sweat from him, the smell was too strong, Zi Chuanxiu only felt that his nose was sour, and he sneezed three times in a row - after fighting for almost three days in a row, no one had time to freshen up, and Zi Chuanxiu estimated that his appearance and taste were not much better.

"Your Highness!"

"Dekun, you stand there, don't come here." Zichuan Xiu stretched out his hand and shook it again and again, as if he was about to send out a shock wave from the palm of his hand to push Dekun three feet away, covering his nose with one hand, and said angrily: "What? Did the Demon God Emperor catch it? ”

Dekun was stunned: "Your Highness, Lord Shirakawa sent me to meet you." Demon God Emperor, I don't know—didn't you lead your troops and horses to pursue the Demon God Emperor? Why did you ask about me? Have you caught the Demon God Emperor? ”

Only then did Zichuan Xiu realize that he had made a mistake. While chasing the Demon Clan's soldiers and horses, he actually forgot to tell Sterling or Shirakawa that the Demon God Emperor might still be on the battlefield.

Seeing Zi Chuanxiu's face change, Dekun guessed that he must have returned empty-handed. He comforted: "My lord, the Demon God Emperor ran away, it's not a big deal. Think about it, the emperor of the Demon God Kingdom was chased by you in the black field like a rabbit all night, and that embarrassment must be indispensable. The Demon God Emperor can escape from you once, then he will fall to the shelf. In the future, he will run away a second or third time! It's not a big deal, the Demon God Emperor who escaped is worthless, so there's nothing to be afraid of! ”

Zichuan Xiu didn't bother to explain to him, and asked, "What's going on over there in the main position?" ”

"Still fighting! The Guards Brigade is still resisting. After the retreat of the Third Army, the Guards Brigade also wanted to break through, but Lord Shirakawa bit them to death, chased after them and beat them by the tail. The Guards Brigade couldn't run fast, and there was no way to get rid of Lord Shirakawa, so they had to fight and walk. Later, Lord Wenhe came, and the legion on Stirling's side also drove over. The soldiers and horses on the side of the Flowing Wind Army also bit up - the soldiers and horses of the Flowing Wind Family are really majestic. High-headed horses, all cavalry - seeing that there are more and more of us, the Guards Brigade knows that they can't run away, so they simply find a high slope regiment to defend there, and all around are densely surrounded by our soldiers and horses. ”

"Dilin is here too!" Hearing the news, Shikawa Xiu was overjoyed. For this big brother, he has an almost blind worship and belief that when Di Lin comes, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"Then let's go back quickly, the Demon God Emperor may be in the surrounded Guards Brigade!"

"What!" Dekun was taken aback. Immediately, an excited smile appeared on the orc's face. He shouted, "My lord, now we're going to do a good job!" With so many people besieging it, the Demon God Emperor couldn't escape even if he had three heads and six arms! ”

The Far Eastern Army was killed by the Demon God Emperor, and Dekun has always been deeply ashamed. Now that there is a chance for revenge, he is excited.

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and patted his head: "My lord, I forgot to say, on the road just now, we caught a demon captive." Most likely the Senean nobility. ”

"Who is it?"

"We got her from a wagon, and we didn't know who she was. But the carriage was richly decorated, and it must have been a big man. Your Highness, we are too shallow to tell the identity of this person. Only to you! Dekun opened his mouth and smiled, and there was a bit of cunning in his smile. He turned his head and greeted: "Come on, take out the good things and present them to the adults!" ”

Looking at Dekun's sly smile, and then at the two half-orc soldiers carrying the hemp bag, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly felt that the scene in front of him had a sense of déjà vu, and even Dekun's cunning smile seemed to have been seen somewhere......

With a strong premonition, Zichuan Xiu muttered, "God, shouldn't it be ...... next?"

The sack was untied.

Princess Cardin is still beautiful, her clear eyes are open, and she looks at Zi Chuanxiu without blinking, her eyes are as transparent as crystal.

He looked at him, and she looked at him. At this moment, time froze, and the figures of the two froze like statues. Countless past events rush by like a tide, the once carefree youth, the love of the mountains and the sea, and the joys and sorrows of life and death.

In the changing tide of the world in the family and country, how fragile is the fate of an individual. Even if they are princesses or generals in charge, their fate is not much heavier than a matchstick floating in the tide of the times.

The vicissitudes of life, the world changes, the past is not like smoke, and finally it turns into dust, and creation makes people as such.

Looking at the beautiful eyes of the woman in front of her, Zi Chuanxiu coughed dryly. He didn't know what to do with those eyes, as it had been and still was. How to describe the relationship with her? is also a friend and foe, sympathetic to each other, and a half-life confidant.

What to say to her? Say hello casually like an old acquaintance? Or take out the majesty of the victor to scold her? None of them seem to fit.

In the end, Shikawa Xiu could only nod slowly at Cardin and smile, his smile full of bitterness. He pulled out the moon washing knife behind his back, and raised it horizontally.

"It's rude, Your Highness Princess!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Moon Cleaner slashed through the air in a lightning-fast arc towards Cardin.

Dekun opened his mouth wide in horror and shouted, "Your Highness, don't! The ransom is worth a lot of ......"

There was a crisp sound of "poof", and Zi Chuanxiu had drawn the knife back into its sheath. The ropes that bound Cardin broke inch by inch and fell to the ground.

Zichuan said clearly: "You are free, Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

Princess Cardin stared at Zi Chuan Xiu intently, when Zi Chuan Xiu swung the knife just now, her eyes didn't blink at all, there was no fear in her bright eyes, she said softly: "Privately release the enemy generals, aren't you afraid of military law, Commander Zi Chuan?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu said lightly: "You are not a general, and I am not afraid of military law - who dares to say it?" Dekun, will you? ”

Zi Chuanxiu squinted at the stunned orc general next to him, and the latter came to his senses and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard anything—in short, I don't know anything!" Your Highness, let me take a look over there, you old man is busy, don't worry about me! Before he could finish speaking, as if he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see, the orc general ran away without a trace. That speed is not like a person who has not been able to close his eyes for two days and two nights.

Seeing Dekun running away, Zichuan Xiucai said loudly: "I never thought I would see you here." Why are you here alone? ”

"My guards were scattered, and the road was met with routs, who stole the horses from my cart. I can't walk away without a horse. ”

"I see." Only then did Zichuan Xiu understand why Cardin, who retreated first, was actually captured by Dekun, who came later.

He said to Cardin, "Without further ado, you must go at once." I was not the only one in pursuit. If you fall into the hands of Wenhe or the Flowing Wind Army, it will be difficult for me to rescue you. You pick some men from the captives to come out and serve as escorts, and I will give you some horses. ”

Zi Chuanxiu turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Find a way to find some war horses to come over—no?" Then call Dekun and let some out! ”

Watching Zi Chuan Xiu loudly scold those unresponsive subordinates, Cardin's eyes showed a hint of gratitude. But she didn't make a sound, just silently watched Zichuan Xiu busy preparing dry food, fresh water and war horses for her to set off. Pick the right people among the captives to be their guards.

When he was ready, Cardin sat back in the carriage. After a hurried meeting, they were separated again in front of us.

Cardin suddenly asked, "Ah Xiu, do you know the whereabouts of my husband?" Is he dead, or was he captured alive by you? ”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned: "Yun Qianxue? I do not know...... Didn't you go with him? As far as I know, your husband broke through with Yerma of the Third Army. ”

"No, my husband is following Crown Prince Karan's troops, and they are retreating in the direction of Tarun City. My father also wanted me to retreat from the direction of Tarun City, but I really didn't feel at ease with my father. Stayed in the army. It was not until last night when the whole army broke through that he left with the brigade. ”

Zi Chuanxiu frowned, knowing that there must be something strange in this, but it was not time to pursue it. He asked, "Cardin, why don't you ask about Ling Zun's whereabouts?" ”

Cardin's face darkened: "No need to ask. He had a chance to withdraw. But he refused, saying that he would not be ashamed to go back. ”

Zi Chuanxiu was overjoyed, but with a gloomy expression on his face, he said, "Please mourn." Although the positions are different, everyone has to admit that Ling Zun is a hero of the world, and he seeks benevolence and has no regrets. ”

Cardin boarded the carriage and turned to Zichuan Xiu and said, "Then, please take care, Commander Xiuchuan." ”

Zi Chuanxiu gave her a military salute in a dignified manner: "Take care on the road, Cardin." ”

Watching the carriage fade away and disappear over the horizon where the sun rose, Zi Chuanxiu looked melancholy. He had only then noticed that in today's hasty meeting, Cardin had not mentioned Sterling in a single word.

His first love turned out to be the culprit who destroyed the Demon Kingdom, the murderer of his father and relatives, I guess Cardin's heart is also very conflicted, right?

Yun Qianxue and Kahlan fled from the battlefield with the Third Army and the Yulin Army, but more of the Demon Army were trapped by the iron pincers of the humans. The cavalry armies of General Mona and General Ying Mulan advanced rapidly, flying into the two wings of the battlefield, like two steel walls, locking the passage for the demons to escape to the southeast. The morale of the human legions of all walks of life is high, and the advance is brave. Although the soldiers are tired, everyone knows that this is the time to beat the water dogs, and to get the spoils of war, you have to rely on now.

Now, the encircled demon soldiers have no hope of escaping. The Seneya soldiers are worthy of being the elite of the kingdom, and many demon soldiers choose to die in battle rather than be captured. The scattered demon teams and brigades lined up in large and small circular formations, shoulder to shoulder to resist the siege of humans from all directions. The human race kept attacking, compressing the circle again and again, compressing, tightly entangled the demon like a poisonous snake, and the weapons collided again. The spear is stabbing, the knife is chopping, the sword is sharpening, the flesh and the shield and armor, ping pong. A large circle was broken up by humans, and they formed more than a dozen small circles, a large group of ironclad cavalry rushed through, and the circles formed by one demon race after another were flattened, and the demon soldiers were trampled into meat paste by the horses' hooves, until all the demon soldiers were cut down like a forest, and until the last demon soldier was cut throat, the battle would not end.

The faces of the Windbreaker soldiers turned pale, they had rarely seen such a brutal war. They shouted to ensure the safety of the surrendered demons, but the demons still resisted as if they hadn't heard.

The brutality of the battle here is far greater than the battle on the western border, and in the battle between the Zichuan family and the Liufeng family, both sides are allowed to surrender, and the prisoners can be returned or ransomed. The Wandering Wind Army was deeply shocked by the demon soldiers' contempt for their lives.

Neither side took their lives seriously at all, whether they were besieged or besieged. Because the demons know that they have committed a great crime in this land, and their hands are bloody. Even if they surrendered, it was impossible for humans to let them go, and the surrounded demon soldiers rarely surrendered, even if the defense was completely shattered in the end, even the single demon soldiers were unwilling to bow to the victor, but chose to die in battle.

General Mona said: "They are not men, they are all beasts." We're fighting hungry wolves! ”

For the Demon Kingdom, this is a day of catastrophe and collapse, but it is also the most glorious and glorious day for the warriors of the kingdom to show their courage.

The heaviest battles remained around the lines of the Far Eastern Army, where the Guards Brigade was surrounded. This is the first time that the Wandering Wind Army has fought the Guards Brigade. Previously, they had been ignorant of this huge, formidable creature. The light cavalry still wanted to use their usual tactics – sprinting at close quarters – disrupting with cavalry and then breaking through the formation – and they suffered a great loss.

The hunting bow carried by the light cavalry is only an itch for the armored beast, and the advancing light cavalry cannot break through the armored beast's array. With a wave of both hands, the armored beast struck horizontally with an iron hammer weighing eighty catties, and a cavalry company with men and horses flew five or six meters, and the bones and organs of the whole body were broken and died.

From the beginning of the encirclement, the battle of breakout and counter-breakout has not stopped. Those savage and strong armored beasts kept rushing into the human defense line, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Flowing Wind Army and the Zichuan Army who were killed and trampled to death by them formed a small mountain.

Witnessing this scene with their own eyes, seeing this kind of invulnerable and infinitely powerful monster for the first time, the generals of the Flowing Wind Family were all terrified.

Ying Mulan exclaimed, "What kind of monster is that?" We're not facing dinosaurs, are we? ”

Flowing Wind and Frost asked, "Can you fight such an enemy fiercely for two days and two nights." Your army is truly remarkable. I wonder how your army fends against these monsters? Can you teach us a little bit of experience? ”

Wen He's face turned pale. Sterling's face turned blue, and that's when he felt his selfishness. He rudely gave a simple order to Zichuan Xiu: "Defend it!" "There was even a threat of court-martial—in retrospect, there was nothing more selfish and cruel than that! Even if the armored beast at the end of the strong crossbow still has such terrifying power, if he wants Zichuan Xiu to independently resist the Guards Brigade and the Demon God Emperor in his heyday, it is simply to send him to death! He still can't figure it out. How did the orcs, with their simple weapons and weak troops, fight these monsters? That's the real mountains and rivers of flesh and blood, stick to death!

But even if he did it again, he had no other way but to give this order to Zichuan Xiu: "Hold on!" "If it weren't for Zichuan Xiu dragging down the main force of the Guards Brigade, if these tens of thousands of terrifying monsters were thrown into a frontal battle, he might not have been able to hold out until the Flowing Wind Army arrived.

This is where the cruelty of war lies, he makes people rough and cruel, hard-hearted, and all sacrifices and blood are not taken into account except for victory.

He explained to the generals of the Liufeng family: "Ladies and gentlemen, it was not our Southeast Army troops who fought with the Guards Brigade before, but the Far Eastern Brigade under the command of Lord Zichuan Hide. ”

"It turned out to be the Far Eastern Army!" The generals of the Flowing Wind Army exclaimed in amazement: "The Zichuan family still has such a powerful legion in the Far East!" "In the past battles with the Zichuan family, the Zichuan family rarely transferred the Far Eastern Army to deal with them. For the Winddrifters, the mighty legion that grew up in the Wild Lands has always been shrouded in mystery.

Think about it, what a terrifying strength it is to be able to shake the army of armored beasts! Many people are worried, although they are now reconciled with the Zichuan family, but the relationship between countries has always been unpredictable, if one day the Zichuan family turns its face and really transfers troops from the Far East, then the Liufeng family will be in trouble.

Although the human race has achieved comprehensive absolute superiority, it is still helpless against the 20,000 guards brigade who are holding on to the formation. It's not impossible to attack hard, but it means paying a lot of casualties. God knows how many people will have to die to destroy these monsters. In particular, Sterling's hands were full of tired soldiers with heavy casualties, and the soldiers could fall asleep immediately with the dead bodies on their pillows when they fell to the ground.

Compared to the Zichuan Army, the casualties of the Flowing Wind Army were minimal. But after the first attack on the Guards Brigade was thwarted, the Wandering Wind Army immediately became cautious. Stirling went to Liufengshuang to discuss the coordinated attack, everything else was easy to discuss, but when it came to the attack, Liufengshuang showed a mysterious and subtle smile, and refused simply and neatly: "Our army has traveled a long distance and is tired, so it is not suitable to enter the battle immediately." Lord Stirling, if your troops want to attack, I am willing to rush into battle for your Excellency, cheering and shouting! ”

Sterling was sullen for a while, and he barely said: "Sterling, you just take care of it, I encourage you spiritually!" ”

He was having a headache when a message came: "The Imperial Capital Legion has arrived!" Inspector Dilin has arrived! ”

On November 14, 784, in the early morning, the sky was gray and cloudy. A snow is about to fall.

A convoy of cavalry and baggage in black cloaks shuttled through the Bataan Plain, a battlefield that had just passed through fierce battles, and the cavalry and convoy traveled through the slopes and plains where the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies were piled up so many that the front of the convoy had to send people to remove the corpses and debris from the road. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting. Large flocks of vultures fluttered around the battlefield, making noisy and strange noises.

"My lord, the main camp of the Southeast Army has moved east, and Lord Stirling has sent someone to deliver a message, saying that they are at the front to meet you."

"No need." The handsome general with a long body and a jade body said lightly: "The war is tight, so there is no need to mess with those red tapes at this time." Tell the liaison officer of the Southeastern Army that I will go directly to the front line to meet Stirling. ”

The guard officer was about to convey the order, when he suddenly saw a road of soldiers and horses running in front of him, and saw the commander-in-chief flag of the Southeast Army fluttering above the soldiers, he lost his voice and said: "My lord, General Stirling has come!" ”

Di Lin's face was moved, and he rode his horse out, and sure enough, the familiar figure in front of the soldiers and horses on the road was not Stirling!

Both of them approached at a rapid pace, turning over and dismounting at the same time. Since March, when Sterling became commander of the Southeastern Army, the two have not seen each other. In these war-torn years, Sterling commanded the Southeast Army, and Dilin adhered to the imperial capital, both of whom were in charge of an important town, and they had already developed a reserved and calm habit, and they were no longer tempted by ordinary life and death. Only in front of the brothers of life and death who he has not seen for a long time will his true temperament be revealed.

The two looked at each other, both of them were excited and excited. According to the rules of the army, Sterling gave a military salute to Di Lin first, and Di Lin returned the salute with a smile, and tears were hidden in the smiles of both of them.

"His Royal Highness Ning is very concerned about this and urged me to come and see. Actually, Sterling, you're in charge, and I'm not worried at all; Is there any other ending than a big win? But His Royal Highness is urging him tightly, there is no way, hehe, big brother, I will be cheeky and run such a trip, get some good news, and go back to report some credit to His Highness. ”
