The Demon God Emperor's Guards Brigade, the invincible armored beast legion has arrived!

It was a group of fearsome warriors, with an average height of more than two meters, and their limbs were as thick as pillars cast in bronze. They don't ride horses because horses can't bear their weight, and they don't wear battle armor because they are born with the most reliable armor.

Their weapons were all specially made, and the weapons of the Northern Demon Clan were twice as heavy. They wield such weapons with infinite strength, and the barrels are machines designed to kill.

During the period of the Left Far East, there was not much contact between humans and the Guards Brigade, but each contact always ended in a great defeat on the human side. The only fortunate thing is that the number of armored beasts of the deer clan is not large, and the main task of this army is to defend the Demon God Emperor, so there are not many opportunities to participate in the border war. But those snow-white monsters have become synonymous with nightmares for humans.

The armored beast warrior grinned confidently, and his hideous face made people chill. In their eyes, the orc soldiers, who were constantly rushing at each other, were like moths that pounced on them and killed them, despite their burly stature.

It was an unprecedented bloody storm, and the brave orcs did their best to launch wave after wave of attacks against the impregnable phalanx of armored beasts.

The brave orc soldiers wielded all their weapons, swords, spears, and swords slashing and stabbing at the armored beast. But the demon armored beasts that acted as the vanguard were as fierce as ghosts, and the half-orcs' swords and axes stabbed and slashed stubble, leaving only a shallow wound on their bodies, and the arrows could not pierce their natural hard skin, and all the attacks were bounced back.

The attacked armored beast grinned nonchalantly and waved his hand, so the brave warrior was immediately smashed on the head by a hammer weighing fifty pounds, and fragments of brains, blood, and skulls flew sideways, and the whole head was gone.

Roger shouted at the orc soldiers behind him to drive them back into battle, Dekun charged ferociously left and right on the front line, and Shirakawa continued to send troops and horses to the center of the fierce battle. One after another, ten teams of soldiers and horses were sent to the remnants of the fierce battle, but all the sacrifices were in vain, all the efforts were in vain, and it was useless to fight desperately. Blood rolled into rivers in vain, corpses piled up on the high slopes, and the positions of the Far Eastern Army were crumbling.

"Your Excellency!" Shirakawa rode his horse and galloped in front of Shirakawa Shu. She rolled over and dismounted, panting and pale.

"The armored beast land offensive is too fierce! Their armor is so terrifying that our swords can only inflict a small wound on them, but their blow can beat our soldiers to meat sauce, and the front line is almost overwhelmed! I beg you, my lord, to allow us to retreat from the armored beasts for a while! The Armored Beasts are not strong in their long-lasting combat power, and their speed cannot catch up with us, and now it is too late to retreat. If the Chinese army is broken through and the demon cavalry rushes in, our two wings will be surrounded by divisions! ”

Screams and the sound of iron clashing files are heard endlessly, and the army under his command is being slaughtered by the cruel Yuan. Zichuan Xiutie's face was blue. He has been fighting in the Far East for a long time, and he also knows the prestige of this Demon God Emperor's close-quarters expansion force. The disadvantages of the armored beasts and the advantages of their invulnerability are generally obvious. They move very slowly.

It is stupid to fight to the death with this kind of hard fight, but now the Far Eastern Army is responsible for defending the left flank of the human army, and once the Far Eastern Army is scattered, the army of the Lu clan will immediately occupy the mountain position, and the overall defense line of the human race will be broken. The infantry of the demon clan let the city of Bataan look down condescendingly, which was very disadvantageous for the decisive battle.

This is a difficult choice, and in order to avoid the sacrifice that comes first, it will be necessary to pay a greater price and more blood in the future to reclaim this land.

"Your Excellency!" looked at Shikawa Xiu and didn't answer. Bai Chuan shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and give your life today!" It's too late! ”

"Bai Chuan," Zi Chuanxiu turned his head, and at this time, Bai Chuan saw that blood beads had bitten out on Zi Chuanxiu's pale lips: "Give the order, our army will give up the land and scatter it for five miles!" ”

In the afternoon, the whispering of low trumpets echoed through the mountains and forests, and the retreat of the Far Eastern army began. Although Zichuan Xiu made a decision immediately, the order to retreat was still a little late.

Long before the military order was issued, the panicked position was already crumbling, and the army of the snake clan could not afford to fight internally, so they fled first, followed by the soldiers of the dwarf tribe, and there were also signs of collapse in the camp of the orcs, and the battle line was on the verge of collapse.

The cavalry of the demon clan pursued the fleeing Far Eastern soldiers in the stubble mountain forest, and then a terrible slaughter unfolded, and the corpses of the killed Far Eastern soldiers were spread along the Lin Wen small heel into a blood-colored belt, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.

At the same time as the bloody battles of the Far Eastern Army on the left flank, the bloody and tragic battle seat was carried out at the same time on a ten-kilometer-long front.

All parts of the human race are suffering from the attack of the demons, the right wing, the deputy commander of the Southeast Army, Wen He, is resisting the attack of the Eleventh Army of the Demon Race, while Yun Qianxue personally led the 150,000 troops of the Yulin Army and Ling Buxu's Fifth Army to launch an attack on Bataan City in the center of the land, although most of the selected attacks failed to achieve much results, and even Wen He made a small counterattack and drove Peima's troops out of the forest, but these attacks played a covering role, and Stirling could not confirm that there were so many simultaneous attacks, Which is the main direction of attack of the demons.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the herald Pegasus made an urgent report, and the armored beast soldiers of the Guards Brigade had gone straight to the Far East Soldiers and Horses Position, and then the human command center made up its mind, and the red-clothed banner Ben Ouyang Jing led three divisions of nearly 20,000 heavily armored cavalry to transfer the left flank from Bataan City, but before he arrived, the Far Eastern Army had been defeated, and the half-orcs were scattered all over the mountains, and the Guards Brigade had occupied their positions, and the cavalry of the Third Army was following the pursuit of the Far East's rout, Ouyang Jing ordered to rush and kill a clam, pinched the pursuit of the demon army, so that Zichuan Xiu had time to regroup his troops.

But in the face of the soldiers of the Guards Brigade who had condescendingly occupied the land, Zi Chuanxiu and Ouyang Jing did not dare to launch an offensive.

The sun has set in the west, the demon soldiers and horses and the human soldiers who have been running for a day are exhausted, the human soldiers are depressed, and the demons are satisfied with the results achieved today, and both sides have no intention of resuming the battle, but are just nervously on guard in case the other side suddenly attacks.

In the evening, both armies lit bonfires, and thousands of fires appeared on the plains and mountains, and the scene was very peatable. The soldiers who had been fighting for a day were hurrying to rest and sleep with their weapons on their pillows, while at this time, in the headquarters of the coalition forces in the city of Bataan, a military meeting was underway. Taking advantage of the armistice at night, the senior generals of the Allied Forces in the Southeast and Far East were reviewing the day's battle.

The generals blushed with iron faces, and some people whispered in a dense voice. Some people are looking at the left side of their necks, some people are stubbling and smoking, and the meeting is suffocated with hazy smoke. Shirakawa Red-Coated Banner frowned unhappily. But today, she finally didn't get angry and kicked the unlucky guy who smoked and flew out.

Although no one said it explicitly, the main position of the Far Eastern Army was captured by the demons, which was the main reason why the human situation became passive. The generals from the Far East had a bright light on their faces, and even the arrogant Shirakawa was much more restrained. Si Xinglin sat at the top of his seat, his brow furrowed, staring at the black sharp corner of the map that protruded from the human land, his gaze as if he was going to burn a hole in the map. Halfway through, he asked softly, "Can you take it back?" ”

Raheem Sterling did not name names. But everyone knew who he was asking, and all eyes turned to the corner of the tent.

The handsome young commander who was sitting there with his head bowed raised his head, his fair melon seed face was full of exhaustion, and his dark eyes were bottomless: "How much can we pay for this." If half of the Far Eastern Army were killed, it would not be impossible to recapture it. ”

"Half the battle?" Hear this appalling proportions. The generals in the room gasped in unison.

"In other words, we are prepared to pay the lives of 60,000 soldiers to retake this land?"

"This is still a conservative estimate. We are faced with a whole new class of troops, and no one can predict how strong the armored beasts will be. We must use crowd tactics to drain their physical strength until they are exhausted before we have a chance to kill them. ”

"The army didn't hold out to that point, and half of the battle was killed. That's inadmissible. As soon as the casualties reach a quarter, morale drops to a dangerous level, and if you barely fight, you are in danger of collapsing. ”

"Or can reserve troops be sent to reinforce the troops in the Far East?" Someone interjected, and Zichuan Xiu looked at him with difficulty. is a middle-aged general who doesn't know the crane, the epaulette is a red-clothed flag book, and he should be the corps commander of the Southeast Army.

"This is Jergen Red Banner, the governor of Oss Province, and now I am in charge of the logistics of grain and grass collection in my southeastern army." Sterling gave Zichuan Xiuguan an edict, but before he could speak, Ouyang Jing stood up and said, "My lord, please allow my department to fight!" The Heavy Cavalry Regiment fights the Panzer Beasts! ”

But Stirling immediately rejected the proposal, because the enemy had occupied a high position and attacked from the bottom up, and the terrible weight of the iron armor of the human heavy cavalry was no longer an advantage, but a disadvantage.

The military meeting was noisy all night, and no good way to deal with the armored beasts came to an end, and in the end, Sterling had to announce: "Everyone go back and prepare for battle"

Someone raised his hand and asked, "My lord, what is our combat policy tomorrow?" ”

"Ask the Demon God Emperor on the other side! We strike later. ”

There was a burst of disappointed boos at the banquet, which was tantamount to admitting that the human alliance had nothing to do with the Demon Earth Armored Beast. Because of Sterling's prestige, the generals did not dare to speak out, but the look of loss on their faces was revealed.

Stirling stood up, said nothing, and looked around the room with a stern gaze, and the tent immediately became silent. "Today we suffered a setback in the first battle, and the left flank lost its ground, but the overall position of the army was not in disarray, and the left flank could still hold the second line of defense quickly. The battle has just begun, and the victory or defeat of one or two battles is not as serious as imagined. Generals, you only see the ferocity of the armored beast, but you don't see our strategic superiority. Bataan is the main battlefield, but the key to victory or defeat is not here! As long as we hold on and hold the main force of the demon clan, the imperial capital and the northwest battalion will not sit still, and sooner or later they will send troops to copy the back road of the demon clan! ”

Stirling's voice was not high, but it was calm and convincing, and the generals regained their confidence a little.

The generals came out of the tent in twos and threes, Stirling lowered the curtain of the tent and looked at the corner of the tent, where Zi Chuanxiu was still sitting on the left, his expression sank, but there was tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Ah Xiu, the Far Eastern troops fought very badly today, have the casualties been counted?"

"Not yet, the troops are still regrouping. But the casualties should be about 10,000 left. The Forty Regiment was paralyzed, and today you sent Ouyang Jing to rescue in a timely manner, if it weren't for him, the casualties would have been even greater. Thank you. ”

Sterling shook his head and said heavily: "If you want to say thanks, it should be the Southeastern Army to thank the brothers in the Far East." The people of all ethnic groups in the Far East do not care about their past suspicions. traveled thousands of miles to grant the imperial capital, and they paid a huge sacrifice for talents. Humanity owes them a lot of affection. ”

Shikawa Xiu looked up in surprise. After losing the battle today, many generals of the Southeast Army looked at their own difficult ways very wrong. Many people blamed the Far Eastern Army for being too inadequate, losing an important left flank thump on the first day, which affected the entire battle situation.

Only Sterling can be so magnanimous and considerate! Mature and steady, thoughtful and thoughtful, now Sterling has the style of a great general.

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "Second brother." I suddenly thought that after the war, if you were not the commander of the Southeast Army, you would be the best person to lead the president. ”

Sterling was stunned: "Why do you say this?" ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled and didn't answer, and changed the topic: "The Demon Armored Beast is the king of the Lu clan because of the ace class. But it is not a common unit on the battlefield. This auspicious and powerful elite army is invincible, and if the demons use it frequently, they will definitely be able to have a big advantage in the war. But I remember that in the Far East over the decades, there were only four battles with the armored beast units. Compared to the number of sorties of low-level demon troops, it is too small. There was no reason for the Demon God Emperor to hide the sharpest sword around him that was not suitable. ”

"What's your opinion?"

"I've always suspected that the invulnerable Armored Beast Clan must have a weakness, but we don't know yet. The reason why the demons don't dare to send them to the battlefield often is because they are afraid of coming into contact with Dora, and this weakness will be discovered by us

Sterling looked at him: "You're right. If the armored beast wants invincible words, why does the demon clan dare to use it at the moment of the decisive battle? Ah Xiu, you have been fighting with the demons for many years, do you know what weaknesses these monsters have? ”

"I haven't fought an armored beast either. The first few times the Demon God Emperor attacked the Far East, he didn't send armored beast troops. I asked Lu Di, the general who surrendered with the demons in our army, who was the commander of the demon clan before, but he didn't know about the armored beasts either. The location of this force is a top secret in the kingdom, and only the royal families of the tribes know about it. ”

Looking at Sterling's eager Xiangzi, he sighed: "Second brother, think about it, the secret that the demon clan has kept for hundreds of years must be very hidden. If we find out in a fight, it will be too easy. It's a pity that the royal Ross of the Shoe Tower clan is not in our army. He followed General Bran east to take revenge. He should be informed. But to contact the Upper East Route Army, it will take at least a month, and we can't wait. ”

"Ah Xiu, I have an idea: although the armored beasts of the demon clan are sharp, they are too few in number after all to spread throughout the ten battlefields. Since the Demon God Emperor sent the Armored Beast Legion to attack our left flank first, then we might as well avoid the edge of the Armored Beast and retaliate with the Demon God Emperor's main camp. ”

"The priority is not to counterattack, but to stabilize the position first. The armored beasts definitely have weaknesses, let's take our time and don't go head-to-head with them. The most pressing task at the moment is to set the morale of the military and not act rashly. In addition, we have to find a way to notify the Imperial Capital to cooperate, while we are holding back the main force of the Demon God Emperor, if Di Lin can send troops to attack Dak, the God Emperor will not be able to take care of it......"

The opponent is too terrifying, not only does the entire Demon God King have elite soldiers, but also the Demon God Emperor personally marches into battle. Although the Ordinary Demon God Emperor did not often personally command battles, neither Sterling nor Zichuan Xiu dared to take it lightly in the slightest. The most formidable opponents are not the experienced veterans, but the fledgling novices.

The veteran has a good experience, is mature and steady, and does not make many mistakes, but he is also easily limited by experience, and his actions are regular, and it is not difficult to figure out the continent.

On the contrary, the newcomers of the newborn calves are terrifying, and their ideas and tactics are so wild that there is no way to guess. The Demon God Emperor has sharp instincts and is decisive and resolute. When he found that the weakness of the human war was on the left flank, he did not hesitate to join the Guards Brigade to repel the Far Eastern Army and establish an advantage in one fell swoop. Pick a bold and unbridled tactical genius that is the most headache for the opponent.

In this battle, the two armies dispatched as many as one million men and horses, and the scale was the first since the start of the war. The first war decided the fortunes of the country, and Sterling and Zichuan Xiu were both trembling and did not dare to have the slightest negligence.

After deliberating until late at night, discussing possible situations and discussing them, the two of them felt a little relieved.

Before Stubble left Stirling's tent, Shikawa Shu stopped. said: "Second brother, there is something I forgot to tell you: near Venari, Dekun encountered a demon team and captured two captives. According to the confession. They were escorting Cardin's former residence to meet with Yun Qianxue. ”

After a pause, Fanchuan Xiu said: "She, it's likely that she is on the opposite side." ”

It seems that I didn't hear the words of Shikawa Xiu. Sterling leaned over to look at the large military map on the table, his body frozen like a sculpture.

After a long time, Zichuan Xiu let out a long sigh, turned around and was about to go out, when a low and hoarse voice came from behind him: "That team, I also ran into it, but I missed it." ”

Out of the main camp of Stirling, the evening breeze of Xi Xi was blowing, and the early winter night was already chilling. Zi Chuanxiu tightened the ground on his shoulders, looked up, the night sky was clear, the stars were very high away, and the empty and lonely tent was lined up in front of the left side. Countless torches lit up the night sky between the tents.

"I bumped into it, but missed it." Recalling Sterling's words, Zichuan Xiu only felt drunk and sour.

In just a few dozen universes, infinite desolation and sorrow are all in it. I recall how young and reckless I was at that time, and how much I had happy past. The carefree youth years, the mountains and sea vows of Zeng Jing, have now gone with the wind. The passionate lover is now a sworn enemy of the sword.

Pass through Takaoka. Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but look west. There are 10,000 bonfires on the horizon, which one is where Cardin is?

"Your Excellency." Gu Lei led Zichuan Xiu's war horse over: "My lord, there is a big battle tomorrow, you should rest early." ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled faintly: "Let's go back." ”

The two of them galloped quickly, shuttled through the huge camp tent of the Southeast Army, and ran for half an hour before they saw the lights of the Far East camp. A group of orc sentries on duty shouted at them from afar, "Who? Stop! ”

Zi Chuan stopped his horse silently, and quietly let the patrol illuminate his face with torches.

After seeing the leader Gu Lei and Zi Chuanxiu behind the stubble, the half-orcs stood up and saluted: "Your Highness! ”

"Good work. Which unit are you from? Despite his exhaustion, Shikawa Xiu still greeted the patrols on duty.

The leader of the half-orcs replied with his head held high: "Your Highness, we are from the 11th Regiment of the Second Army, and we are on duty in today's battalion. Your Highness, allow us to tell you in person: Dekun, Dejing, Bray, and other generals have gathered at the main camp, and they are all waiting for you to return, as if they have something very important to tell you, and they have told us to report to you when we see you. ”

Fanchuan Xiu's heart tightened. Several of the Far Eastern generals were in command of the vanguard units that fought against the Armored Beasts today, and suffered heavy casualties.

Could it be that seeing the strength of the demon armored beast, the generals have the intention of fearing war?

"Is Shirakawa, the commander of the Second Army, in the main tent?"

"Your Highness, I don't invite you to this. They didn't mention Shirakawa-sama. ”

Bai Chuan didn't know, why did several middle-level generals skip the rank in the middle of the night to ask to see him? Thinking of the Shaga Mutiny that year, Zichuan Xiu's heart was clouded. He remained silent: "Got it, thank you." ”

The patrol captain was flattered and saluted: "Your Highness, it is our honor to serve you!" ”

Watching the patrol with torches in the jungle of the overlapping tents, Shikawa Xiu whispered "Gulei"

"My lord, please take your part." Listening to Zichuan Xiudeng's deep voice, Gu Lei immediately knew that something special was happening.

"You immediately go to Shirakawa and ask her to bring a team of Xiuyu Camp to the main camp. Let her pay more attention, do you understand what you mean? ”

"My lord, I understand."

"Good. It was very late at night, so don't make too much noise in the movement of troops, so as not to alarm the rest of the army. ”

"Understood, sir."

"You go, I'll go first and see what they say."

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is better for us to go to meet Lord Shirakawa first, and then go to the main camp."

Zi Chuanxiu chuckled: "Gu Lei, where are you worried?" I'm just on the alert. I'm not so cowardly that I even have to bring guards when I see my subordinates. You just tell Shirakawa as I tell you, she knows what to do. ”

Hearing Zi Chuanxiu's resolute tone, Gu Lei had no choice but to say, "My lord, then I'll go over?" Be careful. ”

"Go ahead."

After breaking up with Gu Lei, Shikawa Xiu continued to ride his horse in the direction of the main camp. As soon as he was on the taek, he paid close attention to the situation in the various military camps. Seeing that the soldiers were still resting in the tents, and that the patrols were patrolling in all directions in an orderly manner, they saw that the camp was still in good order, and there was no sign of unrest. Zichuan Xiu is relieved a lot.

When he arrived at the main camp, he was even more relieved. Because the alert troops of the main battalion are still their own guards and Xiuzi battalions. The officer on duty in the evening reported to him, and Dekun, Dejing, Bray and others asked to see him.

"Are they the only ones?"

"Yes. My lord, they are all generals who are participating in the battlefield today. ”

"Invite them in." Bi Xiang, Dexian, who had gauze in his head, and several other orc generals strode in. In today's battle, Dekun was shot in one eye by a demon archer.

Zi Chuanxiu got up to greet them: "Dekun, it's all injured like this, why don't you go to rest?" And everyone, you have all worked hard today, you should rest early! Looking for me? ”

Dekun took the lead, and the orc generals fell to their knees in unison. Crawling on the ground and kowtowing.

Zi Chuanxiu was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing here?" What the hell is it for? What the hell is going on? ”

But the orc generals refused to answer, and only kowtowed vigorously and wept. In the end, Zichuan Xiudu was about to get angry, and Dekun said in a hurry, it turned out that there was a meeting in the main camp of the coalition army in the evening. Some generals of the Southeast Army said coldly: "The Far East is a strong army, and its name is big, but it can't hold out even a day." ”

"With this group of allies, we're in bad luck! Lord Xiuchuan dared to love the people who came all the way to bring this group of goods. ”

Afraid of Zichuan Xiu's status, they didn't dare to say these words in front of Zichuan Xiu. But the Far Eastern generals who followed Zichuan Xiu to the meeting in the past received a lot of blank eyes. After the meeting ended, Zichuan Xiu stayed to discuss with Sterling alone, and the Far Eastern generals who attended the meeting came back in the lead, adding fuel to the matter.

I know that because of my defeat. The King of Light is in the way. Humiliated in front of the friendly forces, the orc generals who participated in the battle were all ashamed and angry, and they collectively came to ask Shikawa Shu to ask for help and ask for another battle tomorrow.

Knowing the reason, Zichuan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be this thing." Ladies and gentlemen, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as you do your best, you don't have to worry about winning or losing a battle. ”

Dekun raised his head, and his intact right eye was full of tears: "Your Highness, we are too useless, and our sons and daughters are useless, so I am ashamed of you, my lord!" My lord, please give us another chance tomorrow, and we will give it to Your Highness to save your face! As he spoke, his gauze-wrapped left eye was oozing blood, and it was shocking to look at.

The generals said in unison: "Your Highness, give us another chance!" This time, we won't embarrass you again! ”

"Your Highness, there is a group of bastards in today's battle, and they have fled from their positions! Now, I've got them all arrested. As long as Your Highness agrees, I will immediately deal with them by military law! ”

Fanchuan Xiuhuo stood up and forgively: "Nonsense! Where are people left now? ”

"Just outside the main camp, I have arranged for the military law team, and the execution is about to be carried out......"

"Take me!" Fanchuan Xiu interrupted Dekun, and there was no doubt about begging.

The generals hugged Zichuan Xiu out. In the open space outside the camp, the torches were bright, and in the open space, hundreds of orc soldiers were tied behind their backs, squatting or sitting. Around them were armed soldiers serving as guards, swords unsheathed and grim expressions. The scene was silent, the begging atmosphere was tense, and only the sound of the torches crackling and burning was heard.

"My lord, this is the soldier who escaped today. We are prepared to wait for the enforcement of military law ......"

Zichuan Xiu waved Dekun away, and he approached, looking at the soldiers who had been tied up one by one. Many of the soldiers were wounded and bloodied.

Zi Chuan Xiu slowly looked over one by one, and under his sharp gaze, the tired soldier's sluggish face showed a shy expression, and he lowered his head to dare to salute Zi Chuan Xiu.

In front of a small half-orc soldier, he stopped, and his heart trembled: it was too young to choose a soldier! The childish face, the innocent eyes in the dark eyes, and the frightened and bewildered expression on his face, he is still a child!

"What village are you from? How old is it? Zichuan Xiu asked, his voice was very low and his tone was gentle.

The little half-orc raised his head, his dark eyes looked at Zi Chuanxiu in a panic, and tears flowed. But he couldn't speak. Dekun behind Zi Chuanxiu scolded him sternly: "The King of Light is asking you!" Still not answered? ”

"Don't scare him, he's still a child, I think he's fifteen years old at most."

Zi Chuanxiu bent down and touched the top of the soldier's hairy head, and said gently, "You participated in today's battle?" Killed dozens of demon soldiers? ”

The little orc nodded. whispered: "Your Highness, I haven't killed a single demon soldier......"

"Why?"

"When the armored beast came up, my father told me to hurry away. I didn't know anything, so I listened to my father and ran away...... King of Light, I know that I am wrong, and being a soldier should not be greedy for life and death. Who ......?"

"Your father?"

"I was a soldier with my father, and my father always took me to fight. I don't understand anything, I just listen to my father. ”

"Where's your father?"

He rushed towards the green-skinned cub, turning around and walking quickly, and then he was killed by the armored beast.

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. My father and a few ten uncles took machetes and slashed around a ten-armored beast several times, but they didn't want to kill him. The armored beast overturned one barrel after another with a bayonet gun, and finally pierced my father's barrel in half. At this time, my father was not dead, he turned around and waved at me desperately, vomiting blood, and told me to run...... I also panicked at that time, seeing that the armored beast was so fierce, I didn't dare to go up to avenge my father, so I fled with the group...... Your Highness...... Your Highness...... I know it's wrong......"

As he spoke, the little orc's voice was already crying: "Please." I don't dare to run away again, I will fight to the end next time...... Please don't tell my family about this, or my family will lose face......"

Crow Cui was silent in the clearing, and only a childish voice was heard. Zichuan Xiu's heart was heavy. It weighs as much as a piece of iron.

He looked around, and no one spoke, neither the bound deserters nor the guarded court-martials turned their heads with heavy expressions. I thought of today's tragic and desperate battle, and remembered the most defeated soldiers today, and the soldiers who survived a hundred battles flashed in difficulty.

Zi Chuanxiu turned around and glanced at Dekun, who was quite dissatisfied. Dekun hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, I don't know. I really don't know ......."

For some reason, his voice became smaller and smaller, and under Zi Chuan Xiu's stern gaze, he gradually lowered his head, not daring to look at Zi Chuan Xiu.

Generals are only for merit and glory, who cares about the life and death of those unknown soldiers?

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Don't say it." Let's let everyone go. ”

Dekun was about to say something, but Zichuan Xiu interrupted him: "I know what you want to say, it is important to have strict military law, but you must also know to be flexible." Look at these people, almost all of them are wounded, I don't believe that they didn't resist? If you want to deal with a terrifying group of enemies like armored beasts, it will not work to intimidate the soldiers by killing a hundred. If anyone is responsible today, I am the one who bears the greatest responsibility! I didn't expect the sudden attack of the Armored Beast Legion, and I didn't expect the Demon God Emperor to put in the reserves so suddenly. I underestimated the new class of armored beasts, and as a slap officer, I let the troops rush into a bloody battle with the armored beasts without preparation, and when the battle situation was unfavorable, I did not decisively give the order to retreat, causing greater unnecessary casualties."

Suppressing his excitement and seeing Dekun's shocked expression, Shikawa Xiu suddenly realized that he had lost his temper.

The firmness of the generals is the source of the confidence of the subordinates in victory, and exposing one's frustration and regret in front of the subordinates is a taboo for the command in battle. Even if there are millions of corpses in front of him, an excellent general can not even raise a frown. He is not the first brother of the battlefield anymore, how could he make such a low-level mistake today?

It's guilt, it's the guilt that makes me involuntarily look for an outlet to vent.

He slowed down: "Anyway, you let them go first." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." When Dekun heard what he was doing, he shouted at the soldiers, "Your Royal Highness the King of Light will not pursue you today." Guards, come and let them go. ”

The guards hurried over and untied the tied soldiers. They had been bound for a long time, and when they learned that they had been forgiven, some of them fell to the ground at once; Someone shook his head and stared wide, unable to believe that this was true. An expression of ecstasy appeared on the faces of those who were on the verge of despair.

"Don't thank His Highness the King of Light for his magnanimous grace?" Dekun shouted sternly.

"Ahh The soldiers who had survived the death let out a cry of rejoicing, and they shouted in a ragged voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, ......" The shouts were full of strong gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will fight hard and never be a deserter again! The young car and half-orc ran to Zi Chuanxiu and said solemnly, with a solemn expression.

Shikawa Shu closed her eyes so that tears would not spill into her sockets. Stirling's words echoed in his ears: "The people of all ethnic groups in the Far East, regardless of the port, traveled thousands of miles to grant the imperial capital, and they paid great sacrifices. We humans owe them a lot of affection. "Yes! The best sons and daughters of the Far East trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed the dry mountains and rivers to the land of mankind, fought and fought with the fierce and ferocious troops of the demon race, were beaten to pieces, their brains were torn, and they were trampled into flesh by the heavy footsteps of the demon armored beasts. What are they for?

It's not for human beings, it's not for the pursuit of ethereal things like "continental hegemony", and the ambitions of His Majesty the Demon God Emperor Carter and His Highness Zichuan Sanxing have nothing to do with them. Those half-orc men who are pure and replenish have only one reason: to believe in the King of Light.

They firmly believe that everything the King of Light does is for the sake of the Far East. The King of Light was far-sighted and far-sighted, and although he could not understand his intentions, it was enough to resolutely carry out His Highness's orders.

Those soldiers who died in battle, even at the last moment of their lives, firmly believed that their sacrifice would definitely bring a bright future for the Far East, that their blood would not be in vain, and that they were defending their wives, children, and parents.

The blood-stained warriors of the battlefield were on the verge of dying at the hands of their own men, the son who had just killed his father swore to himself to fight again, and the pardoned soldiers wept with sincere gratitude and weeping bitterly—none of them realized that they were fighting a war that had nothing to do with them with all their might!

For this blind and vain trust, Zichuan Xiu felt deep sadness and heaviness.

The thousand-year-old expectations and hopes of a nation, the yearning of tens of millions of people for freedom and happiness, Bai Ji has carried too many things, and when he thinks that he may fail them, the heavy sense of guilt weighs down Zi Chuanxiu. ”
