Episode 22 The Glory of Life and Death Chapter 3 Raising the Mighty Two Armies
Glancing at the sailor, Lin Ding was slightly surprised.
All along, it was the one-armed man who spoke, and the other kidnappers did not make a sound, and several sailors were as silent as wooden statues, working without squinting, this time, the sailor suddenly interjected and asked, which seemed very abrupt.
Strange in his heart, Lin Ding replied quickly: "I don't know about this......"
The sailor continued to ask: "Does the military have always had a tense relationship with Lin Rui in peacetime?" Is it possible that the military will oppose Lin Rui's succession? β
"Lin Rui's relationship with the military has always been quite good. He could not have purged the military for that reason. As for opposing Lin Rui's succession to the throne - the military simply does not have this ability! β
"Why?"
Lin Ding showed a disdainful smile, as if the other party had said something very ignorant: "The Heqiu army occupies a very low position in the national political bar. We are completely different from the Zichuan family, such as the Zichuan family's command office, five of the seven members of the command office are military leaders, only the staff leader and the presidential leader are civilians, and the army generals can have great privileges. But the river hills are different. In the last years of the Guangming Side Kingdom, the betrayal and rebellion of the military generals Zichuan and Liufeng who controlled the army led to the final collapse of the empire, because of this experience, we believe that the warriors are rude and fickle, and absolutely cannot be trusted. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Heqiu has been consciously emphasizing civilians over military force, cultivating a powerful civilian group to suppress the military's power, and deploying numerous military police in the security hall to monitor the movements of military generals. Just like our Council of Elders, the three elders are all civilians, even the military elders who are also the heads of the Security Department are also civilian officials, and many military generals have to act under the orders of the Council of Elders. Traditionally, the status of army generals has been very low, and in the highest political structure, they have no opportunity to speak at all. They can only have a chance to stand out if they are attached to a certain powerful elder, and as for preventing Lin Rui from succeeding to the throne - this kind of thing, even if the military dreams of it, dare not think about it! Since the Council of Elders confirmed Lin Rui's succession, the military didn't know how bad it was to Lin Rui. The generals ran to swear allegiance to Lin Rui one by one, eager to help Lin Rui brush his shoes.
There was deep hatred in Lin Ding's words, and the other party immediately noticed: "You hate Lin Rui? Because the competition was lost to him? β
With a gloomy face, Lin Ding was silent for a while before he spoke: "If you say that I don't mind Lin Rui at all. That's impossible. That time lost to him. I really don't have anything to say. Looking back. His talent and courage are indeed stronger than mine, and more importantly, he is even more fortunate than me. That time I let go of the wind and frost, not only did he not fall and fall into the stone, but also came forward to help me clean up the aftermath - but for some reason, I just don't have a good impression of him, this person, bright on the surface, dark inside. His methods are very yin.
Or the little sailor asked: "What is her purpose in the coup?" β
"I don't know ......"
"Who is in the hands of the current Lin regime?"
"The Council of Eldersβor more accurately, in the hands of Lin Rui.
"Do you know what happened to Lieutenant General Lin Yunfei?"
Hearing the question, Lin Dingyuan raised his head: "Lieutenant General Lin Yunfei? Former commander of the 1st Detachment of the Navy? β
Looking at the questioning sailor. Lin Ding's eyes flickered, and his gaze was deep. Contrary to the fear just now, at this moment, he seems to have regained a little bit of the demeanor of the regent elder of the Lin family.
Meet his piercing gaze. The little sailor turned his face a little fearfully, as if he did not dare to meet his gaze head-on.
He repeated the question again: "Lin Yunfei, why did you kill her?" Who killed him? β
"At this critical time for the decisive battle with the demons, Your Highness the Marshal, you have the leisure to joke with me, it is too ...... Alas...... It's so nonsense.
"You!" The little sailor was shocked and took a step back.
Several kidnappers showed a fierce look, pulled out daggers, and surrounded them fiercely, but they heard a coquettish voice: "Stand down, don't be rude."
The men immediately stepped back and split their ways. The little sailor stepped forward, still with the same dark and rough face, but there was a majesty in his expression that was difficult to face.
Facing Lin Ding, he first bowed: "Lord Lin Ding, there is a reason for the incident, and I have to offend, and I am offended and rude." β
Lin Ding bowed and saluted back: "Your Royal Highness the Marshal, don't dare to be it, it's just that Your Highness's joke is too big, and it almost cost me my life." β
"It's a shame to be reckless and reckless. I just don't know that there are flaws there, so that you can see your identity? I thought that this makeup was perfect, how could an adult recognize me at once? β
"Your Highness, you and I have been together for a while. It's not been long, but it's enough for me to understand your voice, Your Highness. Your Highness, you deliberately lowered your voice, I really didn't recognize it at first, I just felt that the voice was a little familiar, but you repeatedly asked General Lin Yunfei about the cause of death...... I should have figured this out no matter how stupid I was. A character who has the ability to plan so carefully and moving, or a friend of General Lin Yunfei's life, there are not many in the world! β
At the mention of Lin Yunfei's name, both of them looked gloomy.
Liu Fengshuang asked: "So, what do you know about General Lin Yunfei's death?" β
"I was there when he died."
Liu Fengshuang took a breath abruptly, her eyes flashed, her fists suddenly clenched, and slowly released, and in a very strange tone, she said slowly: "You were there at the time? β
Lin Ding hurriedly shook his hand: "Marshal, although I am here, I have nothing to do with this matter!" I happened to be passing through. β
"What's going on?"
"That night, I went home from a visit to an old friend, and it was not early, after twelve o'clock in the evening. As the carriage passed by the square of Heqiu 2nd Road, it heard the sound of fighting and shouting for help from the side of the road. When I heard that voice, I was astonished, could it be that there were robbers in the riverhills? I walked over with my retinue to the shouts and saw a group of masked men with knives chasing down a few uniformed soldiers. One of the people who was cut down was Lin Yunfei, his head was covered in blood, and he and his companions were fighting with their bare hands to resist, fighting and retreating, the fight was very fierce, and the blood flowed for a long street. β
Lin Ding said it very simply, but the wind and frost could already imagine the tragedy of the scene at that time. Swords and swords, bloody streets. Lin Yunfei and his entourage were attacked by a large group of killers by surprise, and they must have suffered heavy casualties.
Liu Fengshuang looked at Lin Ding: "Lin Ding, according to the generation, you should be Lin Yunfei's cousin, he is my cousin's cousin." You're just watching him get killed? β
Lin Ding's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Fengshuang: "Marshal, the incident happened suddenly, I and my entourage have no weapons on us, how can we fight against those heavily armed and vicious thugs?" I was going to call for the garrison or the police to intervene, but the mob shouted that they would kill anyone who dared to do anything on orders of the Presbyterian Church, so I ......"
He hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"So you're scared." Liufeng Shuang said quietly. Her tone was flat, not like she was reproaching anyone, just stating a very obvious fact.
Lin Ding lowered his head, looked at his toes, his face was very pale, the discord was due to being soaked in ice water or because of the guilt in his heart.
The river wind whistled and pointed at people's clothes.
In the silence, Liu Fengshuang said slowly: "In order to defend his home and country, he constantly fought against all kinds of evil foreign enemies, such as pirates, pirates, and bandits, with many meritorious deeds and countless scars, loyal to his duties, abiding by the honor of soldiers, never interfering in politics, and being above board. His life, admiration is worthy of heaven and earth. β
She looked at Lin Ding: "Such an upright and noble person should not die so unclear." Lord Lin Ding, it is very important to find out the direct relationship between the killing of General Lin Yunfei and the Heqiu incident, and I hope to get your help. β
Lin Ding's lips trembled slightly, indicating that there was a fierce struggle going on in his heart. After passing his friend, he turned his head heavily: "Marshal, I know that General Lin Yunfei is your good friend." But let's forget about revenge. If you continue to pursue it, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid it will work against you. β
"Not good for me?" Liufeng Shuang's eyes widened in surprise.
The one-armed man behind her interjected coldly, "Lord Lin Ding, are you dizzy?" In front of you is the marshal of the Prison Country of the Flowing Wind Family! She is in charge of heavy troops and deters the northwest, even if Zichuan Shenxing sees my highness, she has to be respectful! The Demon God King Kawu is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't dare to be rude to His Highness! Could there be any great big people in the little riverhills? Even if Lin Fan's old guy came over in person......"
"Thea, shut up!" The origin of the wind and frost scolded: "Don't be rude, quickly apologize to Lord Lin Ding - Lord Lin Ding, the wind and frost are not strict, I am very sorry, I have always admired Heqiu and the elders very much, and I have no contempt." β
Lin Ding sighed: "Your Royal Highness, your family is right, the Liufeng family is strong and strong, and the famous generals under your command are like clouds, so naturally you don't look at the Heqiu army that has been sluggish." β
"I don't mean to......"
"But although the Heqiu Army is not a climate, there are still some characters that cannot be underestimated. If you want to pursue this matter, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with him. β
"Do you mean Lin Rui?"
"This matter, Lin Rui naturally can't get rid of it, but it is really appalling to attack so many senior military generals for no reason, Lin Rui may not be able to do it alone, unless Lin Rui has greater support behind him, so that he can overwhelm all opposition forces."
"Greater support?" There was confusion in Liufengshuang's eyes: "As the head of the Elders' Council, Lin Rui is already standing at the pinnacle of power, is there anyone behind him who can instruct him?" Is there anyone in a higher position than him? β
"Marshal, you forgot? The true ruler of the river hill, the giant who has supported the Lin clan for thousands of years! Behind the hill, there is a character who really controls everything! In front of him, even the patriarch and the elder are nothing. β
Lin Ding lowered his voice, but his expression became very serious: "Your Highness, there have always been rumors: His Royal Highness King Ming is back!" I guess the real mastermind behind the scenes is his old man. Your Highness, even if you are powerful, you can't ignore the divine might of His Royal Highness King Ming! β
At dusk, on the outskirts of Bataan in the province of Venari, a fierce siege battle was underway.
In the light of the setting sun, thousands of half-beast soldiers were attacking the towering walls in dense formations, and the attacking queue was as turbulent as the waves.
Flying arrows fell into the attacking army in a terrible arc, splashing flesh and blood, and in the setting sun, the fierce offensive battle was going on in a furious manner.
The sound of killing shook the sky, hundreds of ladders were set up on the top of the city, and the half-orc infantry stepped on the ladder and stormed up, and the crowd of people fighting was already mixed up on the top of the city. From time to time, a human body fell from that terrible height and fell hard.
But at this time, no one paid attention to this, and both sides of the battle were red-eyed, and the half-orc soldiers and demon soldiers attacked and killed each other inch by inch at the head of the city, and the blood flowed.
"Too slow! Too slow! It's getting dark, and we haven't even been able to take the city! β
Seeing that the banner of the demon land on the head of the city was already crumbling, but it just didn't fall, General Roger was furious like an angry lion. He was furious, and shouted hoarsely: "Come on! Brothers, go up! The demons can't stand it! Rush me! β
Impatient, he rushed to the city and tore down a half-orc officer who was about to enter the city: "You can't! Let me go first! β
But as soon as he climbed up the ladder, the guards took the lead and dragged him down, and Roger roared like thunder and struggled desperately: "Let go of me!" Looking at the appearance of this group of pus, Lao Tzu is about to be angry! I can't hold it back, I'm going to go up and cut down the demon cubs myself! Let me go, you bastards, or I'll let you die!" β
"My lord, by no means! You are a pioneer manager, and you should not take the danger lightly! The overall situation has been decided, the demons will not last long, and the city will be taken by our army sooner or later......"
"Bastard!" Roger scolded, of course he knew that the city would be taken sooner or later, but the key was who took it, and the one who won the first credit must be the Far East, so that the whole army and the whole country knew that the first to recover Venari was Lord Roger of the Far Eastern Army!
Seeing that the attacking army had gained the upper hand but was unable to defeat the resistance of the demons, he was anxious.
At the mobilization meeting of the previous night's attack, Lord Stirling asked, "Bataan City and the battleground of the soldiers, to march to Dak, we must take Bataan!" Which general is willing to capture the flag for our army? β
Before the words fell, a row of silver epaulettes stood up on the spot, and the generals shouted in a loud voice: "I'm on!" I'm on! β
"I'm coming, I'm coming! The 11th Division of our Southeast Army is an ace division, and we will definitely be able to take it! β
"The Far Eastern Xiuzi Battalion hasn't lost a battle yet! Leave the task to us, my lord! β
"My lord, let's go to the orc soldiers! Give us a chance! β
The Southeast Army and the Far Eastern Army joined forces, and rebelled against the Gotha Khan and Yagomi on the periphery of the demons, and the human army quickly passed through their ground defense area, and the soldiers quickly killed under the city of Madan, which was only guarded by a small group of demon soldiers, and it would definitely not be able to stop the human army, and this battle would undoubtedly be won.
This is the first big battle after the division, as the vanguard of the first battle to simply take the city and prestige before the two armies, this is a merit sent to the door, who among the generals does not want to grab the merit? Everyone is crazy fighting.
In the end, Lord Stirling consulted with Master Shikawa and decided to entrust the task of the first battle to the Far Eastern Army.
Commander Zichuan Xiu smiled, looked at the generals under his command one by one, and finally, his gaze stopped on Roger, and under the focus of everyone's envious blazing gaze, Roger only felt that the esoteric blood was up.
He strode out of the queue and saluted Zi Chuanxiu vigorously, his tone was strong and calm: "Lord Commander, if you can't take the Ba Dan in one day, the lower official will raise the head to see the lord!" β
"If you have courage, you are worthy of our men from the Far East! This task is left to you, don't disgrace the Far East. β
"Honor! Please rest assured! β
At this time, Ste Cong interjected next to the commander: "Roger's red-clothed banner is brave and brave, and he will definitely be able to make a contribution in the first battle." However, in order to achieve a quick victory, it is best to arrange a reserve of escort and reinforcements, and Xiuchuan is the commander, and I suggest that Ouyang Jing of our southeast army should lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to help Roger Hongyi Banner. β
Roger was just about to say, "My lord, the lower officials don't need to help. But Zi Chuanxiu had already spoken first: "This is very good, Your Excellency Ouyang, this will trouble you!" Roger, you have to cooperate with General Ouyang. β
Roger reluctantly responded: "Yes." β
Out of the general column was a young general with a lofty spirit, it was Ouyang Jing. He stood upright, saluted Sterling first, then turned around and saluted Zi Chuanxiu, and said loudly: "Thank you for the cultivation of the two adults, and the lower officials are deeply honored!" β
He turned to look at Roger, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lord Roger, happy cooperation!" β
Roger snorted coldly in his heart, he gritted his teeth with hatred for this little white face who suddenly appeared to steal merit with him, but the two commanders were present, and nearly a hundred senior generals of the two armies were there, and he couldn't lose his demeanor on this occasion.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and stretched out his hand: "General Ouyang, thank you for your cooperation tomorrow!" β
Thinking of the scene at that time, and then looking at the stalemate of the war, Roger already felt that he was burned inside, the first round of attack wave was blocked by the divisor demon clan, and the second round of attack barely rushed to the head of the city, the sun was about to set, but the city was still in the hands of the demons, in front of the two adults, in front of so many people, he Haikou was boasted, how could it end well?
How can I have the face to go back to see adults?
How can I hold my head up in front of my colleagues?
"Lord Roger!" In the midst of the chaotic attacking procession, a herald rode up to his side and shouted, "Lord Roger, General Ouyang has sent me to ask Your Excellency if you want reinforcements?" His troops will be on the road in no time! β
"What did you say?"
"General Ouyang asked if you wanted reinforcements!"
The voices of the people were so noisy that the sounds of fighting, screams, and groans mingled with the loud rumbling from the towers, and it was not until the herald repeated the words a third time that Roger could understand what he meant, and in an instant, the long-suppressed rage erupted like a huge volcano!
He grabbed the collar of the herald officer and yelled into his ear: "Tell Ouyang Jing that if you are not afraid of death, just drive up!" Lao Tzu knows him Ouyang Jing, but Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses don't know him! If he dared to come up, the orc immediately turned his gun and hit him together! β
The herald struggled to break free from Roger's hand, angrily tidied up his clothes, and replied to Roger with the same voice: "Your Excellency, the lower official is only responsible for the herald, you don't have to be like this!" Sending that unit up, that's something that only two adults can decide, Sterling and Zichuan Xiu, and it's useless for you to get angry! If you are angry, you will take the city by yourself before dark, then no one will be able to steal your merit, and the lower official originally wanted to watch the battle with you here, but now it seems that your Excellency will not welcome my land, farewell! β
"Who are you? What is your name? β
"Xiaguan Yakri, the operational staff officer of the Nostalgia Department of the Southeast Army, deputy flag book."
Yakri straightened out his crumpled collar, turned to mount his horse, and before leaving, he lightly threw down a sentence: "It is said that how the Far Eastern Army can fight, according to me, it is nothing more than that." β
"Bastard, you stop me!"
But it was too late, and there were many opportunities to scold the lord back to Roger, and the horse ran away, watching his back disappear into the chaotic crowd of swords, Roger only felt desperate and angry: "This face is a big shame!" β
Just as a team of half-orc soldiers and horses were rushing past him with a flag, Roger jumped over suddenly, reached out and grabbed the flag bearer's flag, the half-orc took the flag by surprise, and was actually caught by Roger!
The flag is the soul of the army, and someone dares to capture the flag in front of the battle!
After the stunned, the leaders were furious, and the half-orc soldiers screamed wildly, and they were about to fight together, but suddenly found that the person who captured the flag was none other than his own direct commander, Lord Roger, the commander of the First Army in the Far East!
The half-orc officers and soldiers were stunned: "My lord, what are you doing here?" β
"Brethren, there is no other way out." Suppressing the violent mood, Roger's tone was surprisingly calm: "Time is running out, this is the first big battle since the counteroffensive, the emperor is watching, the wind and frost are watching, Danya is watching, Heqiu is watching, and Yuanjing is also watching." If we can't take this city before dark, tomorrow our First Army in the Far East will become the laughing stock of the whole continent! lost the face of Lord Xiuchuan, we absolutely had no face to go back alive; Don't even think about raising your head in the future, everyone has said: Far Eastern generals, but that's it! When have the Far Easterners been so underestimated by the soft bones of the mainland! β
"Absolutely not!" The orc soldiers roared in response: "Far Eastern warriors are the strongest!" β
Roger waved the flag vigorously, and the sadness and despair made the burly Chinese tone very poignant: "Come on, follow this banner, no one is allowed to retreat!" Advance! β
"Hudrola!"
Stirred up by Roger, the soldiers and horses who participated in the battle once again drummed up bravely, and the men and horses were surging like a tide, storming the city, and the troops were fierce and indomitable.
The demon defenders defended the city, and they poured arrows like raindrops on the city, sprinkling hot tar, and the orc soldiers couldn't even dodge, because the crowd was surging, and the follow-up soldiers were endless, and you couldn't retreat at all!
And so, in the midst of that screaming and splashing of blood, ladder after ladder was erected high, and the burly half-orc soldiers marched forward inch by inch at the cost of blood, snatching battlements after battlements.
Under Roger's personal leadership, he was provoked to anger, and the attack of the Far Eastern Army was like a rage, and the orcs rushed everywhere, slashing and chopping, extremely fierce.
On the city wall, the tired demon soldiers gradually couldn't stop it, and half an hour later, the half-orc soldiers and snake soldiers captured the city, but the battle was not over, the remnants of the demon guards were strongholds, and the battle was transferred from the city head to various city roads and various city gate headquarters.
The final battle was particularly brutal, the occupation was carried out inch by inch, and the city roads were already flooded with corpses and bleeding.
In several corridors in the city tunnels, the corpses on both sides blocked the road, one after another, so the demon soldiers used this pile of corpses as a defensive position. The orcs grabbed the dead man's hair or feet and threw the corpse far away from the city, so as not to hinder the pleasure of the fight.
For a time, countless human bodies fell from the sky above the city, dense as raindrops, and the situation was very spectacular.
On a hillside outside the city, the two leaders of the Zichuan family were watching the battle side by side. Even from afar, the mixed sounds of the battle could still be heard from time to time, screams, groans, the clanging of weapons, the galloping hooves of cavalry, and the crackling of flames. The scene is tragic and terrifying!
Smoothing out his gaze at the head of the city, Commander Stirling was relieved: "The follow-up troops have gone up, and the head of the city has been taken." β
"Damn." Zi Chuanxiu also relaxed, watched the battle for a day, and watched the city head repeatedly tug of war, he was so nervous that the clothes behind him were wet: "Roger, this guy, what is he doing all day?" It was dark before it suddenly exerted its strength, and now it has only captured the city, and the street battle must not hold torches to continue the night battle? β
"Roger has been killing soldiers and horses for a day, and the soldiers are all tired, why don't you change Ouyang Jing to go up for a street fight?"
"I'm okay with that, send the herald to ask Roger, if he's tired, we can change him."
The herald hurried to the front line, and after about half an hour, he rushed back and said, "Your Excellency Roger resolutely refuses, two lords!" He said that he was not tired at all, and he could fight for another three days and three nights, and the city could be taken by himself. He said, just ask the two adults, don't send other troops up, the orcs are confused, and it will be troublesome to fight the wrong person when the time comes. β
The two commanders glanced at each other, and Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "Roger, this guy, is so bold that he actually threatened me!" β
"The one who is close to the ink is black, someone teaches it well! Ah Xiu, what do you think should be done? β
"Since Roger has made a military order, let him be, the overall situation has been decided, and the city will be taken sooner or later." ]
"It's better to take it early." Stirling turned his head and looked at the twilight of the west, with a faint worry in his eyes: "Bataan is the gateway to the suburbs of the imperial capital. Bataan, Darker is in no danger to defend, and the Demon God King and the Guards Brigade are less than a hundred and fifty miles away from us. β
Following Sterling's gaze, Shikawa looked to the far west.
As soon as Bataan was born, the connection between the Demon Clan's Western Camp and the rear was completely cut off. Now, no matter how stubborn the Demon God Emperor is, he will also transfer the army back from the imperial capital to deal with himself.
Neither of them made a sound, silently thinking about their thoughts.
At eight o'clock in the evening, there was a great commotion in the direction of the city, and thousands of people cheered, and both of them guessed what was going on.
"It's like Roger got it."
Just as Sterling had expected, a moment later, the blood-stained Roger ran out of breath to the two-man page.
"Lord Stirling, Lord Hidekawa, it is my honor to report to the two commanders that our First Army in the Far East has recovered Bataan City!"
Sterling smiled: "Good work, Your Excellency Roger, you are the first to win the first battle." β
"Willing to serve the family!" Roger straightened his chest and stomach, and his spirit was bright: "Lord Sterling, this kind of small battle, for us, is just a small matter!" - But today's demon cubs are indeed a bit difficult. The bow and arrows, falling rocks, and hot oil were as dense as rain, and both charges were repulsed, and I didn't want to make a move against such a small enemy, but look, no! I can't do it if I don't make a move, the children really can't handle it, and the demon soldiers are still very arrogant! So I got annoyed and took a knife and cut down dozens of them......"
Roger was so excited that his face was red, and he chattered and stopped.
In all fairness, he did have something to be proud of in today's battle, capturing the strategically important city of Bataan in one day, opening the way for the army to advance, the first glory was extraordinary, and it was indeed not easy to come by, he was like an ordinary soldier, personally attacked and killed at the forefront, and killed a refreshing and happy.
In order to highlight the hard work of the siege battle, he not only wiped the blood stains off his body, but even ran into a pool of blood and rolled himself before running to see Zichuan Xiu, so the heroic general strode over, one by one, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had just experienced the most difficult battle in his life. That kind of hardship, alas, you who are in the back of the view, you can't imagine it!
If it weren't for me, Lord Roger, even if I changed any general, I am afraid that I would not be able to take this city in ten days and a half months.
But which of the two commanders is not a shrewd person, but also experienced, how can they be deceived by a little trick.
Zichuan Xiu smiled and asked, "Roger, where did you find blood water to bathe?" β
"My lord, this is blood! This is the ground that splashed on me when I fought with the demons......"
"Isn't that right? There should be a little bit of blood on the ground, you like this...... It's like soaking your clothes in blood for a while and then coming back. β
"Okay, okay, why bother!" Sterling interrupted Zichuan Xiu and smiled, "Lord Roger has made a great contribution, so you don't have to worry about those small sections." Roger, we have all seen today's battle, your soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, Your Excellency is in front of the enemy, commanding properly, and heroic. In the face of national crisis, the family needs loyal soldiers and excellent commanders. Please believe that the family will not forget your merits, and your merits and dedication today will be duly rewarded in the future. β
He soothed him a few more words, and Roger pricked up his ears and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word - this appreciation did not come from others, it was the famous Tiger of Zichuan, the number one general of the Zichuan family, Lord Sterling.
He is flawless in both personality and reputation, he can be called a model soldier, the pride of the Zichuan family, he has a praise, worthy of glory for life, not to mention that he is also the director of military affairs of the Zichuan family, with his value, it will be okay to soar in the future!
The only regret is that it would be nice if there was no Zichuan Xiu who had been smiling evilly next to him, and being looked at by him with such a smile, Roger always couldn't help but feel hairy in his heart......
"Qi Qi two adults, after we attacked the city, the demon soldiers saw that there was no hope of guarding the city, and they have surrendered collectively, may I ask the two adults, what should we do with the surrendered demon soldiers?"
Shikawa Shu asked, "How many are there?" β
"The specific number has not been calculated, probably a thousand people."
"Sterling, you can decide this. They are Senean soldiers, mortal enemies of us humans, and it is difficult to influence them, or they can be sent to ......"
"All of them were killed, and the corpses were set on the trees, and the corpses were in the wilderness. Let the Demon God Emperor know that their end has come! It also let the fifteenth army of the demon race, who is still hesitant, know that human beings are not just talking, if they don't make up their minds, the end will not be much better! β
Sterling did not hesitate, his handsome face showing fortitude: "The Seneans have done a lot of evil and invaded our world. Now, it's time for them to pay the price! We are not afraid to make an example of others! β
Shikawa lowered his eyes and lowered his long eyelashes. He didn't approve of Stirling's approach - not that he had any pity for these demon captives, but he just felt that the great war was imminent, and the wilderness of these thousands of demon corpses might not be able to scare the Demon God Emperor, but instead gave the Seneans the best example of encouraging soldiers to fight to the death: "You see, this is the fate of surrendering to the human race!" β
Fighting to the death with the trapped beast is something that Shikawa Xiu tries to avoid. On the contrary, he tried his best to give the enemy hope and give him a way out. Pursuing a fleeing enemy is much less expensive than fighting a trapped beast to the death.
The swarthy woods, quietly. In the moonlight, the road was like a snow-white strip of clothing, winding towards the horizon as far as the eye could see, and at the end of the earth, a huge full moon hung high.
This is a wilderness forest on the outskirts of Dak. Black Sand walked down the forest trail towards Dark.
Even in the barren and inhabited wilderness, the military advisor still maintained his usual demeanor, with straight shoulders. His head was held high, his veil swayed gently in the breeze, and his black robe fluttered.
There was a light ahead. The hanging sign reads "Checkpoint" in Demon script. The long journey finally came to an end, and Duck was in front of him. Thinking that he would soon be able to rest, Heisha's heart was filled with faint joy.
A demon officer with a white feather pinned to his hat walked out of the checkpoint and shouted at Heisha, "Who are you?" What are you hanging out here? β
Looking at the color of the other party's feathers, in the proficient demon language, Heisha said calmly: "Captain of the hundreds? I'm Black Sand. β
Surprised by Heisha's pure demon language, the officer's attitude was a little more restrained, and his voice was still stern: "No matter who you are, Your Majesty has an order." Recently, the spies of the Zichuan family have been rampant. Anyone who is within fifty miles of the camp and does not have a pass will take it! Are you human, or are you a Protoss? What are you doing with your veil? β
Black Sand frowned. He is a powerful minister of the kingdom, and the other party is an officer, so he has never heard his name. It's too stupid.
"Who is in charge of this checkpoint? Where is your boss? β
"I'm in charge here!" The captain of the hundred people said angrily: "Sneaking in the middle of the night, and wearing a veil, your behavior is very suspicious!" Want to spy on the military? Take him down and lift his veil, brethren. Look what this guy is! β
Several demon soldiers rushed out of the checkpoint and surrounded the black sand.
Heisha couldn't smile bitterly. He took a step back, touched his robe, and showed a bright gold medal in his hand: "Look at this gold medal." An identity tag from His Majesty! Dare to commit the following crimes, aren't you afraid of five horses splitting the corpses? β
The five horses split the corpse is the heaviest military punishment in the demon army, and after being drunk by the black sand, several demon soldiers paused.
The captain of the hundred people poked his head out curiously: "Nonsense, what His Majesty personally gave ......" Seeing which lion pattern representing the kingdom on the gold medal, his face turned white all of a sudden, and his voice changed: "You, you dare to forge the royal token!" β
"Whether it's a forgery or not, you can see clearly!"
Heisha shook his hand, and the gold medal accurately fell into the officer's hands. His eyes were wide open, and his hand holding the gold medal was shaking.
The gold medal is heavy, the lines are clear, the lines are complex but not chaotic, the golden lion is dancing with teeth and claws, it is the royal symbol of Senea, looking at the texture and pattern, there is no possibility of counterfeiting.
The captain of the hundred people cried with a sad face, handed back the gold medal in both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Adult, the little one has eyes and no beads, and he is reckless and offensive." β
"It doesn't matter. You are also on military duty, and I will not ...... with you."
Before he finished speaking, the two were handing over orders to shoot, when the officer suddenly flipped his wrist, grabbed Heisha's wrist, and shouted: "Spy, take it!" β
Heisha exclaimed: "You ......"
There was a soft snort, and Heisha only felt a chill on his waist, followed by a hot one. He looked at it in confusion, only to feel that a demon soldier with a dagger had just been pulled out of his left waist, and the blade was full of blood.
At the same moment, there were several swishing sounds, and a volley of sharp arrows was shot out of the woods, and Black Sand hurriedly shook off the officer to dodge, but he was always one step slower, and the shoulder, thigh, chest and abdomen were all hit by arrows.
In the blink of an eye, the black sand was injured in many places. Desperately bleeding, he kicked the officer away with a sudden kick, and knocked down the sneak attack demon soldier with a punch Before he could catch his breath, another row of arrows came in, and Heisha hurriedly waved his sleeves, rolling up a strong wind, blowing most of the arrows away, but there were still a few arrows on his arm, and there was a sharp pain.
Before he could pull out the arrow in a hurry, he heard a piercing shout and noise in the forest, and from all over the dense forest, demon soldiers with knives and spears poured out and were heading towards the black sand.
At this time, Heisha realized that it was not a misunderstanding. From start to finish, this is a trap for yourself!
The military advisor roared: "Despicable! Whoever did it, stand up for me! The roar of rage resounded through the wilderness of the night, startling countless birds that had slept in the woods for the night.
He was responded only by a shrill clamour: "Dig Gra!" The demon soldiers only rushed over with their swords, and the archers in the dark forest kept arrowing at the black sofa, but no one answered Heisha's doubts.
Heisha let out a long roar, ignoring the arrows stuck in his body, and rushed into the demon soldiers like a leopard.
The first demon soldier to rush forward raised his machete. But the knife had no chance to fall at all, and as soon as the white and slender hand of the black sand stretched out, and the index finger lightly listened to a terrible scream, the soldier dropped the machete held in the air, clutched his throat and fell to the ground, making a muffled sound in his throat. Red blood gushed out of his fingers, like a spring.
Without delay, Heisha turned around and snatched a machete that slashed at his head, and with a wave of his backhand, the head of a demon soldier flew into the sky.
Spun around and stabbed like lightning, and the four demon soldiers around him screamed in unison, all of them opened a hole between their eyebrows, and their brains burst.
Without the slightest pause, Heisha's figure retreated abruptly. With a fierce elbow strike, the demon soldiers behind him who wanted to come up and sneak attack were suddenly knocked out.
Hiding in the dark forest to watch the battle, listening to the screams one after another, Yun Qianxue's palms oozed sweat.
Before the action, it was estimated that Heisha, who had never shown his martial arts, might be a master of martial arts. But he never expected his martial arts to be so high. Although he was stabbed in a hurry and suffered nearly ten wounds, he did not mess up at all, and he shot quickly, accurately, ruthlessly, and neatly. Surrounded by courage like a tiger, he rushed back and forth like lightning in the encirclement, but no one could stop him with a move and a half!
Looking at the jumping figure of the black sand, Yun Qianxue only felt that she was in a complicated mood.
If his intentions were to be treated, he was reluctant to do so. In his heart, the military advisor is a gentle wise man and senior, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and fair. The Demon Kingdom can be so strong, and His Majesty the God Emperor's talent is certainly the main credit, and Heisha's contribution to it will never be less. I have always respected the military advisor very much.
However, the prince of Karan believes that the black sand has bewitched the Demon God Emperor and made His Majesty indulge in the illusion of conquering humanity. If Heisha does not die, His Majesty will not agree to withdraw the troops. The most important thing is that on the issue of succession to the throne, Heisha has an ambiguous attitude, which is a taboo in the heart of Prince Karan. This time, as soon as he got the news that Heisha had returned from the field, Karan immediately made a decision: "I can't let him enter the camp to meet with my father and kill him on the way!" β
It's just that no one expected that hundreds of demon soldiers would not be able to surround and kill an injured military advisor! A military advisor who is plain and polite, once in distress, is so strong!
Seeing the military division outnumbered, rushing left and right in the crowd, like a fierce tiger, Yun Qianxue suddenly had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu: the scene in front of her seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.
At this moment, Kahlan spoke up: "Black Sand's style of play is like a person." β
"Who?"
"Zichuan Show at the Seven-Eighty-Year Celebration Banquet!"
Yun Qianxue Huo Ran turned her head and looked at Kalan, seeing the latter's surprised eyes.
Karan was right, although Black Sand used a sword as a sword, but the feeling was the same, the ghostly body, the lightning shot, the feints of striking east and west, the two of them had the same rhythm, the same temperament, and even the bravery of the two were so similar - just like a master musician playing two different songs, although the notes on the surface are different, but the deeper inside is exactly the same! Even a layman like Kalan, who is not familiar with martial arts, can see that the martial arts of the two are obviously from the same origin.
"What does it matter to them?"
This question is ridiculous even to think about, one is the feudal member of the Zichuan family, the mortal enemy of the demon clan, and the other is the number one minister who is in power over the demon clan and the opposition. In any way, the two will not have the slightest connection. But they are so similar, which can't help but make Yun Qianxue and Karan think about it.
"No one knows where the Black Sand guy came from. Cloud, I can't figure it out that we stumbled by mistake and really found out a big spy. β
The slaughter was still going on, screams were loud and loud, the forest was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the low moans of the dying could be heard from nowhere. Hundreds of selected demon masters, more than 30 people have fallen to the ground at this moment.
Heisha was so brave that it made Yun Qianxue and Kalan feel cold: if it wasn't for the sneak attack that made him injured first, maybe these hundred or so demon masters would not be enough for him to kill.
Heisha was brave, after all, he was injured first, and his movements gradually slowed down, and Kahlan was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "He's dying!" Surround him, don't let him run! β
Heisha suddenly roared: "Die! β
It was like a sudden thunderstorm on a sunny day, and the demons were hit by a hammer on the head, and the approaching demon soldiers were immediately stunned, and the rest were buzzing eardrums, dizzy, and unsteady on their feet.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Heisha slammed into it, and was slashed by a spear and sword a few times, but knocked the three demon soldiers who were in the way to the ground, he jumped out of this gap like lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he sank into the dense forest, only to hear an angry howl from the forest: "The shaft has mistaken me!" β
The demon soldiers followed and chased towards the dense forest, and the sound of fighting and screaming continued to be heard in the forest, and the sound gradually faded away, and finally became quiet.
The officer leading the team panted and reported to Yun Qianxue: "Lord Qiyu, the target has been seriously damaged, but he fled into the woods and disappeared. We have suffered heavy casualties, please advise your Excellency, do you want to continue to send more manpower to search the forest and pursue? β
Yun Qianxue was groaning, and Kahlan whispered, "We can't send more people." It's hard to keep it a secret when it's a big deal. β
Yun Qianxue then ordered: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, but before reinforcements come, you continue to track and search, and be sure to capture the target." β
"Yes, my lord."
The prince of the demon clan and the number one general looked at each other, and they both saw the frustration in each other's eyes. The black sand is so strong, since it can break out of the encirclement, most of the pursuit in the forest will be in vain.
Yun Qianxue comforted Karan and said, "Your Highness, the military advisor is deeply injured, and he may not be able to survive." You don't have to worry too much β besides, he didn't know we did it. β
Kahlan nodded: "After the matter is over, you transfer all the officers and soldiers who participated in today's incident to the front line, and I will arrange for Fima to deal with it." β
Killing people and killing people is a step that must be taken. Yun Qianxue nodded: "Understood, Your Highness." β
"Good. Let's go back. β
Just as he was about to start, Karan suddenly turned to look at Yun Qianxue: "Yun, you still call him a military advisor - are you very reluctant to take this action?" β
Yun Qianxue was shocked, but her face was not revealing at all: "Your Highness." I owe my allegiance to you. β
The answer was not answered, but Kahlan seemed satisfied with the answer. He whispered, "Actually, I don't want to do that either." The military advisor is the hero of the world, a generation of heroes. He has contributed a lot to the kingdom where it is today. It's just a pity that he can't be used by me. β
Standing at the edge of the woods, and finally looking back at the place where the military division was fighting bloodily, Prince Kalan looked melancholy: "We can't win this war, it's just that my father is unwilling to face the reality." You have to prepare early, the Yulin Army is our capital, and we have to rely on this army to consolidate the throne after returning home. Don't be stupid, you've put him and the humans together! Cloud, times have changed! β
Looking at the prince's childlike innocent handsome face, Yun Qianxue was at a loss. What is the purpose of the Western Expedition War, which shed so much blood and sacrificed so many soldiers?
At this time, the crown prince and the number one general of the demon clan would not have expected that the last chance of victory in the war of the demon race's western expedition was just cut off by them tonight.
