Twilight began to fall, but I could clearly see the traces left by the demon dragoons galloping across the plain, the grass and bushes that had been trampled down, leaving behind broken spears and arrows and black corpses full of devastation, and a black corpse of demon soldiers covered the originally yellow high slope.

On the horizon in the right-hand direction there was a rumbling bang, sound after sound, continuous, and the earth trembled slightly.

It was a human catapult and a demon catapult shooting at each other, and no one could tell how many tons of boulders had been thrown at each other in the past week.

The head of Bataan was shattered by thousands of boulders falling from the sky, and it was no longer a defensive position.

The attacks were incessant, and the Demon God Emperor threw his troops into battle every day and every night, and every day he had to lift a long column of bloody corpses from the catapult position, and the casualties of the slingers were staggering.

At sunset, the demons stopped attacking. I don't know if I plan to postpone the attack until the night and fight overnight, or if I want to accumulate strength to do a big job tomorrow. Looking out at the endless demon camp bonfires on the horizon. Zichuan Xiu feels that the former is more likely.

"My lord, it's time for dinner." Gu Lei laboriously burrowed into the narrow trench and said to Zichuan Xiu in a low voice.

"Let the soldiers eat first." Shikawa Xiu put down his eye-catching hand. He didn't want to play the role of a good general who loved his soldiers, but he simply had no appetite at all - he had just experienced a bloody battle during the day, and few people could immediately recover their mood and enjoy dinner with relish, and now he wanted to vomit when he saw meat.

The two men came out of the trench and walked along the trench position, and he looked at the situation in each position as he went. The armored beast forces of the demons are strong, and they caused considerable casualties to humans at the beginning of the war. However, among the races on the continent, the human army is not the strongest in combat, but it is the most versatile and flexible.

After the first day of terrifying battles with the armored beasts, the soldiers quickly realized the importance of the trenches and traps that they had been despised. Hiding in the trench, the power of the demons' stone throwing and bow and arrow killing is much smaller. What's more, the criss-crossing trenches slowed down the advance of the Demon Armored Beast.

After retreating to the second line, the energetic orc warriors, under the guidance of the engineering troops sent by Stirling, wielded hoes and shovels. Numerous trenches were dug overnight.

The plains are crisscrossed with ravines, and the earth is cut into pieces by ditches and obstacles, and there is no flat ground to put your feet on.

With the lesson of blood, the human army summed up the experience of fighting with armored beasts. When the armored beasts in the traps and trenches are struggling, then the humans take the opportunity to get out from behind the hidden positions and follow the demon infantry behind the armored beasts with bows, spears, and bayonet guns.

Lost the follower of the demon infantry, the bulky armored beast narrowly entered the sea of human soldiers, even the thick skin of the armored beast could not withstand a dozen human soldiers holding a four-meter spear at him, even if the hand-to-hand combat, the intricate trench can also give greater convenience to the defenders who are familiar with the terrain, so that the attacking demon soldiers are dizzy.

At the end of the day's battle, it was time for dinner. The orc soldiers emerged from the trenches and sat down in their positions. Helping each other to bandage their wounds. The medical team carried the seriously wounded soldiers out of the trench on stretchers, and blood was spilled all the way.

Everywhere there was a queue of orc soldiers with helmets to get food. The orc officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, "There is meat to eat tonight!" What a chunk of meat! ”

Sometimes, Shikawa Xiu really admires the orc race, their nerves are abnormally tough.

After experiencing the tragic life-and-death battle with the demon dragoons and armored beasts, seeing so much death and blood, corpses, and the smell of blood has not yet dissipated, I can immediately sit by the corpse of my companion with such a happy expression. This spirit of optimism is unimaginable to human beings.

While inspecting Dekun's position, he saw the soldiers of the brigade marching towards the front with sapper shovels.

"What are they doing? It doesn't take so many people to bury the body, does it? ”

"Your Excellency," Dekun looked excited, "and you'll find out later." ”

Soon, Zichuan Xiu knew the reason: a miserable hiss came from the position. He had heard that terrifying cry almost every day for the past few days, and even heard it in nightmares at night: it was the roar of the Demon Armored Beast!

Dekun explained: "My lord, don't be nervous. We dug a lot of deep traps in front of the battle, specifically to deal with the demon armored beasts. This kind of trap, as long as they fall in, don't think of it, even if they are invulnerable - now that the demon attack force has withdrawn, the soldiers will go to deal with the guy who is trapped in the trap. ”

Zichuan Xiu was relieved: "Let everyone be careful." Armored beasts are powerful, and it is dangerous to get close to them, preferably with a spear. ”

"My lord, we didn't plan to catch them at all—these monsters, I don't know how many of our brothers have been killed, do we still want to leave their lives to waste food? All you need to do is bury the trap with dirt, pour water on it, and you're done. ”

"Buried alive?"

"When we find out that the end is coming, those monsters will roar very hard, some will struggle desperately, roar, want to jump out of the trap, some armored beasts will let out whining cries, and some will shed tears in the trap to our soldiers, grunting non-stop, it should be begging for mercy, right? - Interesting, my lord, would you like to see it for yourself? ”

Dekun said with a fluttering eyebrow and a very excited look. Glancing at this half-orc general, Zi Chuanxiu didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to walk forward.

Sensing Zichuan Xiu's displeasure, Dekun caught up: "My lord, are you unhappy?" Did I say something wrong/"

"Dekun, although as the saying goes: Ci is not in charge of the army, and the generals need to be hard-hearted, then it is naturally true. But if the generals indulge in cruelty and relish in torture and killing, then they will fall behind. Throughout the ages, I have never seen a man who could become a peerless warrior by brutality and cruelty alone. ”

Dekun shook his head very dryly: "My lord, what you said is too profound, I don't understand." ”

Zi Chuan Xiu smiled bitterly, what kind of way of famous general can you talk about with this half-orc who has just come out of the deep ravine? In the hearts of these simple orcs, there is no concept of cruelty, mercy, etc. They didn't have the consciousness to do so, and looking at the soldiers who were happily burying the armored beast alive, they were just playing a game.

Shikawa Shu felt a deep sadness. Looking up at the sky, the sun had set halfway over the horizon, and a deep, dark red twilight covered the field.

On the ordinary day of November 12, 784, the Battle of Bataan had already reached its twelfth day.

From the day the Far Eastern Army captured Bataan City, all the military advisors of the human and demon clans were mobilized to this small city that was originally inconspicuous on the map, as if they were attracted by magnets. The attack and defense around this small city will determine the fate of the continent, the human race, and the demons.

By the time the sun had completely set, it was already dark. But the demons still didn't launch a second round of attacks.

After a hurried dinner at the front, a herald informed Shikawa that the Allied High Command had something important to discuss, and that Sterling had invited him to Bataan tonight.

After seven o'clock, Zichuan Xiu estimated that it was unlikely that the demons would attack. But he still solemnly found Roger, Dekun and other front-line generals to explain the matter, and then rode to the rear with the guards.

The general headquarters of the coalition forces was located in the city of Bataan. When Shikawa Xiu arrived, he noticed that the atmosphere in the headquarters was a little abnormal. The staff officers who came in and out had serious expressions, and from the hurried steps there was a taste of hurry. Seeing their stiff faces, Zi Chuanxiu had a vague premonition.

The staff room of the headquarters was crowded with people, and cigarette smoke was filling. When Zi Chuanxiu entered, several staff officers stood up and saluted him. He waved his hand and asked, "What about Sterling?" ”

"I'm here." A man at the operational command table looked up, it was none other than Sterling. Wen He sat beside him and nodded at Zi Chuanxiu to say hello.

Zi Chuanxiu smiled and returned the salute, and was about to find a place for himself to sit down, when someone brought him a chair: "My lord, please take a seat." ”

"Shirakawa, why are you here?" Zichuan Xiu was surprised, Shirakawa should be in the base camp of the Far Eastern Army at this time. He was surprised to see her at Stirling's headquarters.

"I told her to stay." Sterling replied on his behalf: "Your Excellency Bai Chuan Hongyi has brought very important military information, and the stakes are very high. I had no choice but to summon you from the front line to discuss with you. What's going on over there today? ”

"It's ok. The dragoons went first, and the armored beasts pressed the formation, and they fought for a day, and the position was held. Zichuan Xiu replied simply, and looked at Shirakawa again: "What the hell is going on?" Urgent military situation? ”

"My lord, I'm sorry, but there's an urgent military situation from the Far East. At that time, you were on the front line, and the stakes were so high that I had to tell Lord Stirling first...... I'm sorry. ”

Shirakawa looked worried, and his bright eyes revealed trepidation. Bypassing his own boss, Xiu Shikawa, and reporting directly to Sterling, this is a big deal for a female general who has always been loyal.

Zi Chuanxiu couldn't cry or laugh: Am I such a calculating person? He pulled out his chair and sat down directly at the table.

Shirakawa poured him tea with a sense of humor, and Zichuan Xiu drank it all in one gulp before asking, "What emergency military situation?" ”

Sterling handed him a piece of paper: "Ah Xiu, you take a look at this first." ”

Unfolding the parchment that exuded the strange smell of human sweat, tobacco, and horse blood, Shikawa Xiu recognized Ming Yu's handwriting at a glance.

"Did Ming Yu write to us?"

Shikawa Xiu still had a smile on his face when he started reading, but as he read it, the smile gradually disappeared from his face, replaced by a furrowed brow and a solemn look, and finally, he read the letter again, and then rested it on the table.

No one spoke, and the generals stared vigorously at the thin sheepskin on the table, as if expecting to destroy it with their gaze, and by the way, destroy the bad news it brings.

In the second half of 784, during the Great Patriotic War, the demons attacked the emperor for a long time, and the southeastern and Far Eastern coalition forces launched a large-scale counteroffensive, and the situation gradually turned in favor of mankind.

The four main forces of mankind, namely Zi Chuanning's Imperial Capital Army, the Northwest Army of Flowing Wind and Frost, Stirling's Southeast Army, and Zi Chuanxiu's Far East Army, formed a huge encirclement of the demons.

Stranded off by Stirling, the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Demon Race who followed the Demon God Emperor, plus the human rebel forces led by Ma Wei, were blocked in the plains centered on Dark. They could neither advance west nor retreat east, let alone receive supplies and reinforcements from the rear.

At the beginning of the war, the armored beast troops of the demon clan caused a lot of trouble to the humans, but when they found a way to deal with the armored beast legions, the humans slowly withstood the attack of the armored beasts and held their positions.

Optimism in the military is beginning to rear. The officers and soldiers are talking about it. As long as the South-Eastern Army and the Far Eastern Army can hold on, it will be either a month or two months. The area from Dak to Bataan, where the Demon God Emperor Carter and his main force were trapped, will become a huge mausoleum, which will be the burial place of the 600,000 demon troops who invaded the west and their emperor. Unless there is a complete surrender, there is no other way out for the end of the demon race than to perish.

The demon invasion, this unprecedented disaster can end so quickly, people can't help but secretly rejoice in their good luck.

But on November 12, a page of letterhead flew in from the Far East seemed to mock the optimistic people for rejoicing too soon. Suddenly, as if the god of the demon clan had suddenly woken up from his slumber and began to take care of his subjects, the demon soldiers and horses began to function!

"Our Eastern Route Army has collapsed." Shirakawa said bitterly.

Led by the orc general Bran, the Far Eastern Army's Eastern Route Revenge Army has been rampant in the territory of the Demon Kingdom, and General Bran is an excellent general. The soldiers under his command are even more bloody and gally, and his military orders are earnest, killing people, setting fires, slaughtering cities and burning villages as if they were in a no-man's land, killing and retreating sneak attacks, and suppressing resistance. The army is as powerful as thunder, and it brings human horror to the demons with fire and sword.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, in order to deal with this incoming demon army, the Demon God Castle did not hesitate to draw troops from the most remote areas, and the garrisons swarmed from the most remote cities. Every living demon clan picked up a sword to resist, and said in the tone of the Demon Kingdom's Propaganda Department: "The evil gang army has received their due retribution!" ”

On the shore of Zorn Lake, which is less than three hundred miles away from the Demon God Castle, the Eastern Route Army was defeated by the Demon God Castle garrison led by the Demon Clan's prince, Prince Caton, and had to retreat.

The demon prince Caton did not lead the army to chase after Bran, but instead gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in a hurry, and strode to the human world to rescue his father.

Prince Caton gathered the last strength of the Demon Kingdom, including the garrison of the Demon God Castle and the garrisons of Senea in various places. The number of troops was as high as 150,000. Seeing that Prince Caton's troops were overwhelmed and the form reversed, the capricious Mon Khan immediately tore up the armistice agreement reached with our army, reasserted his allegiance to the Senea, and his soldiers and horses followed the main force of Caton.

We took all possible measures to intercept, sneak attack, harass, cut roads, attack grain and baggage convoys, and slow down the advance of Kharton's corps as much as possible, but Kharton and Mon Khan joined forces, and their men and horses were close to 300,000, and the Third Army in the Far East was powerless to stop its advance, and the harassment was not very effective.

If the current progress continues, there are still five days left for Prince Caton's troops to enter the Valen Fortress, and it is likely to contain the main battlefield.

In view of the sudden change in the situation, I am compelled to assert that the Third Army of the Far East will immediately enter the customs to join you. But because our army took a mountain road, the arrival time was probably three days slower than that of Prince Caton.

The situation is urgent, so please prepare as soon as possible!

Zichuan Xiu read the date of the letter, which was eight days ago. That is to say, at this moment, the troops under the command of Prince Caton have arrived at the fortress of Valen, and it is only three or four days away from Bataan.

He frowned: "What about the messenger?" ”

Shirakawa explained in a whisper: "The messenger rushed all the way, day and night, ran and killed four horses, and fainted as soon as he handed over the letter. I haven't woken up yet. ”

"This messenger is amazing, he bought us at least three days, Shirakawa, you give him credit." Eight days across a rugged mountain road, all the way from the Far East to Bataan, this is a miraculous speed.

The smoke was thick, the faces of the generals were heavy, and no one spoke. Shirakawa was so smoky that he coughed. But at this moment, the men don't have the heart to pity the jade.

At the critical moment of the decisive battle between the Southeast Army and the Demon Race, everyone knows what the arrival of the 300,000 Demon Race fresh force means.

The catastrophic consequences of this would not have been much less than the sudden defection of Mavi during the Battle of Oss that year. What is even more terrifying is that whether it is human or material resources, the strategic resources of mankind are also about to be exhausted. Once the Far East and Southeast Alliance forces are defeated, it will be difficult for the human race to gather elite troops of the same size to fight against the demons.

Sterling shook his head and said the same thing on behalf of everyone: "Trouble is coming. ”

"The Eastern Route Army was defeated too quickly! If they can hold out for a month longer, then even if they get stuck, they won't be able to shake the overall situation - to put it mildly, it is still the Far Eastern soldiers who have caused a big deal. Next to the conference table, there was a staff officer of Qiben who Zichuan Xiu didn't know whispering, although the voice was small, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Bai Chuan's face changed, and before she could say anything, Sterling had already erupted first: "Bastard, shut up!" Although the Eastern Route Army was defeated, it was still glorious despite the defeat! Without the fighting and sacrifice of the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army, during the Battle of Bataan, the demons would have been able to mobilize 500,000 troops to reinforce their emperor! If it weren't for the Far Eastern soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry would have entered the customs long ago! Without the bloody battle of the Eastern Route Army, the 100,000 troops of the Goang and Yakun would not have withdrawn from the war at all! You don't know what sacrifices the brothers of the Far Eastern Army made! With a weak army of 30,000 people, he fought against the 150,000 demon army of Caton, which restrained the power of the demon clan and bought us a full month and a half. Although the Eastern Route Army was defeated, it was still glorious! If you say such a stupid thing, it means that you have no knowledge at all! Get out of here and reflect on it! ”

It was rare to see Stirling so angry that everyone present was shocked, and the staff officer's face was as shocked as ashes.

Instead, it was Zichuan Xiu who helped him speak: "Forget it, Sterling, this brother is also unintentional." Moreover, what he said is not unreasonable. If Bran can hold out for another month, it'll be easy on our side. ”

Wen He also said: "Since this is the case. It's no use getting angry either. Two adults, let's find a way to get through this difficulty. It's not easy to force the Demon God Emperor to this point, and it's a pity to fail again. The two adults, the lower officials feel that they must immediately inform the imperial capital and the northwest camp of this news! ”

Sterling gestured, and a staff officer replied in a loud voice: "Just released the carrier pigeon." In order to prevent accidents, we used three carrier pigeons to deliver the letters. Tomorrow morning, the imperial capital should be able to receive the news of the carrier pigeons. ”

"Di Lin has sent troops to attack Dak, but the fifteenth army of the demon clan is still stubbornly disturbing, and it can't take the city for a while." Stirling said: "The reinforcements of the imperial capital will not come for a while, and it is mainly up to us. Ah Xiu, you have a lot of ideas and a lively brain, is there any good way? I'll give you an account first, all the belongings of the Southeast Army are here, and I can't even get one more infantry squadron. ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled bitterly: "I still have some goods, Mingyu's third army has twelve teams, and they are coming." But because

Because the road is difficult, he will be later than Caton. Lin Bing formed seven infantry divisions in Ankara, and if she knew the news, she would definitely lead the team to come - Stirling, I won't ambush either, that's all for the Far East. ”

"Can you get Lord Lin Bing to intercept and stop Prince Caton from approaching here?"

"Most of the newly formed infantry divisions were incorporated by the Sixteenth Legion of the Demon Race. They were originally wallgrass, I'm worried about ......" Zi Chuanxiu paused, but everyone understood what he meant: Prince Caton's soldiers are pressing the border, and it is difficult to guarantee that this group of wallgrasses who are greedy for life and afraid of death will not be thrown over again.

"Moreover, the newly formed troops do not have much combat effectiveness, and it is okay to act as an auxiliary force to transport grain and grass and baggage, so that they can resist the elite of Caton and Meng Khan, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Or send our troops out here to intercept Caton?"

"Now against the Demon God Emperor, although our forces have the upper hand, they are not enough to send more than 100,000 troops out. Fighting on both sides, our troops are not enough to support us, and we are afraid that Prince Caton will cut off our supplies. ”

"The enemy is very strong, why don't we avoid it first?"

"How to withdraw? Now that we and the Demon God Emperor are biting each other, no one can retreat. As soon as the withdrawal order was given, the demons took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and our army immediately collapsed. ”

At the critical moment of the decisive victory, a 300,000-strong army of Caton emerged from the sideways. Everyone thought of one idea after another, but none of them worked, and the generals smoked in anguish, pondering and meditating, and the mood of pessimism and despair gathered more and more solemnly in the room like thick smoke. In the end, the cigarette made the mouth bitter, and the generals' eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

At this time, a female voice sounded: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea, I wonder if I can do it?" ”

General Wenhe turned his head tiredly and rubbed his red eyes: "Bai Chuan? What do you want to say? Let's talk about it. As he spoke, he yawned.

A slight crimson appeared on Shirakawa's face. She got up: "My lords, I think that the matter itself is extremely simple, and the solution boils down to two solutions. The first is to send troops to intercept and prevent Prince Caton and the Demon God Emperor from rendezvous. ”

"No, I can't. We can't deal with both at the same time. Fighting on both sides, both sides are inferior. In the end, we have only one end in sight. ”

"My lord Mingjian, then we only have the second way out: before the arrival of Prince Caton, our army will completely annihilate the Demon God Emperor Legion!"

The girl's crisp and resolute voice was like a bolt of lightning that swept through the room, waking the sleepy generals.

Shikawa Xiu suddenly raised his head and exchanged a look of surprise with Sterling.

As if his buttocks were burned by fire, Wen He got up and said fiercely: "Bai Chuan, what are you talking about?" Destroy the Demon God Emperor's army of 400,000 in three days? Do you know how big the casualties of the army are now? You know ......."

"Wenhe, you sit down and let Bai Chuan finish speaking." Stirling interrupted Wen He and asked, "Shirakawa, why do you think so?" ”

"My lord, I know that the troops are suffering heavy casualties now, but the demons must be in a bad situation. Otherwise, they would not have attacked so frantically, fought day and night, and their casualties would never have been small. Our army's original policy was to hold on, to defend and consume the strength and strength of the demons, and wait for them to run out of food. But now, obviously, we can't wait! Before the Demon God Emperor ran out of food, Prince Caton would pounce first! Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I don't value soldiers, but now it's time for us to trade our blood for victory. While we still have an advantage, we must fight a decisive battle as soon as possible! Either we will destroy the Demon God Emperor before the arrival of Prince Caton, or we will be wiped out by the Demon Clan's two-way attack, and we have no choice! When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. Lord Sterling, Lord Shikawa Shu, it's time for us to draw our swords with the Demon God Emperor! ”

Sterling was still sitting in place, his shoulders hanging slightly, as if he was pensive, but the slight trembling shoulders already revealed his inner excitement.

It was a long time before he raised his head, his eyes shining amazingly, and his expression was resolute with determination.

He looked around one by one. On each general's face, his gaze paused for a few seconds.

The generals looked solemn, some nodded lightly, and some were silent.

In the end, Sterling's eyes fell on Zi Chuanxiu, the two looked at each other, and Zi Chuanxiu said lightly: "Second brother, I support you." ”

Shirakawa was shaken. At the formal military meeting, it was the first time she heard Zichuan Xiu call Sterling the second brother, just two words, how heavy the meaning was.

At this moment, Zichuan Xiu is not speaking as the commander of the Far East Army, he is assuring Sterling as a brother: "No matter what the outcome is, we will bear it together." Breathe together, share a common fate. Life and death are the same, and honor and disgrace are shared. Even if we are defeated in the end, we will die together! ”

After staring at Zichuan Xiu for a moment, Sterling nodded slightly. He straightened his clothes and stood up, his voice was not high, but it was unusually firm and powerful: "In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Theater of Operations, I order: From tomorrow, our army will turn to the demon clan to counterattack!" All the units under our coalition army must attack with all their strength and fight bravely until the Demon God Emperor is destroyed! If there is any slackness, military law will deal with it! ”

In the dimly lit room, the men stood up in unison, and the people of uneven height stood solemnly, and one after another thick or sharp or high or low voices reverberated solemnly: "Obey, Commander!" Our department will fight! ”

On the night of November 12, at the end of 784, the Battle of Bataan reached its second stage.

In a small farm on the outskirts of Bataan, the senior generals of the Zichuan family held a military meeting. Involved in decision-making are:

Sterling, the family's military chief and commander of the Southeastern Army

Member of the Family Command Office and Commander of the Far Eastern Military District, Hidehide Shikawa

Deputy Commander of the Southeast Army and Deputy Commander of the First Cavalry Corps of the Southeast Army

Chief of Staff of the Southeastern Army and Deputy Commander of the 1st Infantry Group of the Southeastern Army, Bach

The commander of the Second Cavalry Corps of the Southeast Army was the red-clothed banner Ben Ouyang Jing

Commander of the Second Corps of the Far Eastern Army, the red-clothed banner Ben Shirakawa

The above names will go down in history as part of the milestones in the history of human warfare.

In view of the defeat of the Far Eastern Route Army fighting in the territory of the Demon Clan, the Far Eastern Army was no longer able to contain the reinforcements led by the Demon Crown Prince Caton. At great risk, Stirling made a decision at this hasty military meeting that the coalition would switch hands to an all-out assault on the Demon Legion.

At the moment of making the decision, the generals of the coalition forces all looked solemn. The generals who made the decision knew that the coalition forces would make great sacrifices, and the flesh and blood of the officers and men of the two armies would be the stepping stone to victory.

It's a suicidal offense. The main force of the coalition will fight with the main force of the demon clan with all their might, and the best outcome that can be expected is that both sides will eventually die together. The only chance of victory is for the Purple River Army in the Imperial Capital or the Flowing Wind Army of the Northwest Battalion to arrive in time to deliver the final blow to the exhausted Demon God Emperor Legion.

At that time, many of the generals present here may have passed away.

It was a stressful night. The army was moving nervously, and the long line of torches was pouring in from the rear, and the new troops who received the order ran into the position. They took over the exhausted front-line troops into battle.

On the front position that was more than ten miles long, hundreds of thousands of troops were making huge movements, and the torches were bright. The astonishing noise even spread to the demon army's position dozens of miles away.

On the slope of the Demon King, tens of thousands of torches illuminated the camp as bright as day. The soldiers of the Guards Brigade, armed with spears, lined up in two long rows along the passage in the middle of the camp. Passing through the middle of the armored beast, feeling the sharpness and murderous aura of the soldiers' metal spear tips, Yun Qianxue only felt a chill in his heart.

Yun Qianxue was arranged to wait in the waiting room, where several generals had gathered, including Ling Buxu of the Fifth Army, Yerma of the Third Army, Pei Ma of the Eleventh Army and others. The generals gathered together, bowed their heads and buzzed about something.

Yun Qianxue asked Pei Ma, "How are you over there?" ”

"It's a bit of a bad thing. The 53rd and 55th Divisions of the Southeast Army on the opposite side were moving very much tonight, and the forest was full of torches. I ordered the troops to be on alert. How's that going on over there? ”

"The 73rd, 82nd, and 83rd Infantry Divisions opposite me also made a lot of noise, and it seems that it was a big move."

Hearing the conversation between Yun Qianxue and Pei Ma, several generals also came over. Yerma said in an old-fashioned manner: "The movement of human beings is unusual, it is certain. They must be preparing for a big operation! ”

Hearing the old general say such nonsense so solemnly, the generals couldn't bear to laugh.

Yun Qianxue inquired and found that the human armies opposite the various legion commanders were carrying out huge movements. For so many days, the Protoss Army has attacked many times, but they have not been able to break the human front. The stalemate seems to be going to last for a long time, but the human race on the other side is going to make a big move, is this change a curse or a blessing? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has summoned you in."

The generals stopped talking and followed the guards in an orderly manner.

When Yun Qianxue entered, the Demon God Emperor was talking to a human who was kneeling on the ground: "Qing's mission is very important, you must be cautious. ”

The human kowtowed heavily, and when he raised his head, Yun Qianxue had already recognized him as Ma Wei.

"Wei Chen is trusted by His Majesty and entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, how dare he not do his best? Your Majesty can rest assured that Weichen will definitely find the whereabouts of the general's division as soon as possible and escort him back at any cost. ”

"That's very good. Ma Weiqing, in order to find a military advisor, I have given you a warrant, with which you can dispatch the troops of the 15th and 16th armies. You put aside the affairs of the army for the time being, and focus on military divisions - don't worry about military merits, as long as you can find military divisions, you will make great contributions to the kingdom, and meritorious deeds are by no means under any army commander. I will not forget the subjects who are loyal to the kingdom in times of difficulty. Ma Weiqing, I look forward to your success. “

Ma Wei comprehended, this is the end of His Majesty the Emperor's hint of the meeting. He kowtowed again, then leaned backwards and left the room.

Ma Wei actually got a private reception from His Majesty, and he actually had to wait in the waiting room for him to finish talking to His Majesty!

The Legion Commanders' eyes were full of jealousy and hostility as they looked at Mavi's back, and Yerma's lips opened and closed slightly, not knowing what he was scolding in a whisper, but it was certainly not a good word.

"Your Majesty sent Ma Wei to find the military advisor?"

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck overhead, and Yun Qianxue stumbled under his feet, almost unsteady on his feet. That failed ambush had always been a fear that he didn't dare to touch, he didn't dare to think about it, and he had to think about what would happen to him and his accomplices when Heisha appeared in front of the God Emperor again. Capital offense is inevitable, raiding the house? Extermination? Could it be that the Yun family, which had flourished for more than 300 years, was destroyed because of the stupid ideas of a reckless prince?

In the days when the operation failed, Yun Qianxue couldn't sleep at night, and when she heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, she thought that the Guards Brigade had arrived on the orders of the Demon God Emperor to arrest people. I can't eat, I can't sleep. Within a few days, he had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were dark. His colleagues thought he was worried about the military situation.

Day by day, nothing happened. Yun Qianxue gradually settled down. He comforted himself: the badly injured Heisha must be dead! Must be dead! Later, he simply forced himself not to think about it anymore, as if it had never happened, and the person of Heisha had never existed!

Caught off guard, he heard the name of Heisha from the mouth of the Demon God Emperor, and His Majesty handed it over to Tomavi to find him - at that moment, Yun Qianxue felt like a murderer's body buried in the backyard was suddenly dug up, and the shock was not something that words could describe.

Kahlan glanced at Yun Qianxue quickly, and saw his companion's pale face and distracted eyes. He secretly pulled the corner of Yun Qianxue's clothes, and the latter suddenly woke up: If the gaffe allows His Majesty to see the traces, it is definitely a dead end.

The generals bowed to the Demon God Emperor, and the Demon God Emperor waved his hand to signal everyone to get up. Yerma, who was impatient, asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you want to call your ministers and others in the middle of the night?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I received a report from the front line tonight. It is said that the hostility of the human race on the other side has changed. Can you detect anything unusual? ”

One by one, the corps commanders reported on the situation on their own side. Except for the fact that the defenders of Bataan City on the opposite side of Ling Buxu could remain calm, there were signs of large-scale troop build-up on all human fronts.

Yun Qianxue spoke on behalf of the General Staff: "Your Majesty, it seems that the human race is planning a big attack. Judging from the movements of the humans on the other side, it seems that they are going to decide the winner in a decisive battle with our army. But logically speaking, a protracted war is beneficial to humanity, and they have absolutely no reason to rush into a decisive battle with our army. Wechen is worried, Sterling and Zichuan Xiu are both scheming characters, what conspiracy are they playing? ”

The Demon God Emperor shook his head: "Yun Qing, you speculated from intelligence, but I felt it by feeling, this is by no means a bluff, nor is it a trick - I can feel that a murderous aura has risen in Bataan City, that rainbow-like battle intent, and the sky above the enemy camp is shrouded in white clouds, that is the murderous aura condensed by hundreds of thousands of troops!" The morale of the enemy has been stirred up. It's like an arrow on the string, you can't help but send it! I have a hunch that there will be a terrible bloody battle tomorrow, and it will be a field battle! ”

"Field Battle!"

What the Demon God Emperor said about "military spirit" and "murderous spirit", it was something that was too mysterious, and the generals couldn't understand it. But when they heard the "field battle", the generals all grinned: "Dare to fight in the field with the strongest Protoss army on the mainland, has Sterling's brain burned out?" ”

Yerma shouted: "Your Majesty, as long as the human beings dare to leave the positions and trenches and come out, the Protoss army can sweep them all away in one day!" ”

The Demon God Emperor smiled: "For so many days, the human race has built complex fortifications and trenches, and although our soldiers have made great efforts, the progress is very small. Seeing that the food in the army is dwindling, I am puzzled by this. Since Sterling and Zichuan Xiu intend to give the kingdom such a big gift. There's no reason why we shouldn't accept that. Yerma! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"Tomorrow's decisive battle, your department will still take the lead! Among the coalition forces, the Far Eastern troops were poorly armed and were the weak link of the entire coalition army. I want you to be the first to defeat the Far Eastern Army and make a gap in the enemy formation—I will give you 20,000 armored beasts! ”

"Yes!" The old general's face was flushed with excitement, and he said in a loud voice: "Weichen will definitely be able to capture the Zichuan thief and wash away the shame of the kingdom!" ”

"Very good. Peima! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"The right wing of the army will be handed over to you! As soon as the enemy emerges from the forest, you must give the enemy a head-on blow and hold back the enemy's left flank so that it cannot reinforce the center and right flank! I'll send you more troops if you need to! ”

"Yes!"

"Yun Qianxue, Ling Buxu!"

The two corps commanders responded at the same time: "Wechen is here!" ”

"Your unit is the central army of our army, and it will be in a head-on attack with the enemy's main force. The key to the decisive battle is waiting for you. Yun Qing, Ling Buqing, the Yulin Army and the Southwest Army are the elite of the whole army, and the whole army is looking forward to you in the decisive battle tomorrow. I hope you can break through Stirling's Chinese army! You carry the hope of the kingdom and the fate of the Protoss from today and a thousand years from now! ”

"Weichen will fight hard and never disappoint His Majesty's high hopes!" The two legion leaders shouted in unison, looking eagerly at the Demon God Emperor.

The Demon God Emperor looked around with satisfaction, and the eyes that greeted him were the eager and ambitious eyes of the legion commanders. Finally, he set his eyes on the Legion Commander, who had been silent: "Leo! ”

"Wechen is here!" The captain of the big army replied angrily.

"Tomorrow's decisive battle, you stay by my side. The Guards Brigade Corps, as the general reserve of the full decision, responds to the overall situation. ”

"Yes!"

After assigning the task, the Demon God Emperor was silent. Suddenly, he lifted the curtain door of the tent and strode out.

Suddenly, seeing His Majesty, the soldiers of the Guards Brigade who were on guard outside fell to their knees.

Standing in front of the tent, no one next to him pointed to the fire on the horizon, the Demon God Emperor's eyes seemed to be burning, but his voice was surprisingly calm: "See? The murderous aura that rushed to the sky, the fighting spirit that filled the sky, was as hot as a skyrocketing fire! The only way to extinguish such a fire is with blood! Countless blood! ”

Looking at the legion commanders, the Demon God Emperor laughed insolently: "Generals, kill me hard!" With the blood of 600,000 human soldiers, lay the foundation of continental hegemony for our god race! Three hundred years ago, the Blue River Battlefield, tomorrow's Bataan Battlefield, the dream of the Protoss to dominate the continent will not end here, our journey has just begun! ”
