Chapter 240: Seven Days (Part II)
Day 5.
Federal, North Bay State.
From the coastal defense line all the way to the Bay Area defense line, an area of more than ten kilometers has been completed and turned into a hell on earth.
Every inch of the ground had been plowed by artillery fire and magic, and not even a small piece of land could be found.
The bodies of the Federation soldiers in dark green uniforms, the Imperial Army soldiers in black uniforms, and the Jing Navy soldiers in purple uniforms were crisscrossed and could not be seen at a glance.
Since yesterday evening, General Zhou Hu's operational intention to block the enemy army has been perfectly executed. Coastal Expedition - Retreat to the Bay Area - Repeated Ambushes - Finally Combined Decisive Battle, every step was executed perfectly.
It's just that every one of the more than 20,000 officers and men of the Northern Military Region who remained behind has been able to stand up.
The commander-in-chief, General Zhou Hu, spread his legs and sat laboriously on the ground.
He was blind, his right calf was knee-high, and there was a large blackened hole in his left shoulder where his ribs could almost be seen.
Colonel Curry is in a slightly better position than him, so he can still hold his back.
"Curry, have you reached twenty-four hours?" General Zhou Hu asked, taking a breath.
Curry raised his wrist to look at the watch on his left wrist, only to remember that his left hand was long gone.
"It's time to arrive, sir, the sun has set. He told General Zhou Hu.
"Where's West?" Zhou Hu asked again.
"He's wounded, sir, and you've hit him one last time. He went back to the ship to rest. ”
"Hahahaha," Zhou Hu laughed dryly.
"I miss it so much, I have watched the sunset from the sea here countless times, but unfortunately I can't see it again. ”
Curry looked at the sun with only the last edge left on the horizon, as if he wanted to take one last look for his chief.
"Sir, is General Konica really killed in battle?" asked General Zhou Hu.
"It should be true, Zhou Zhuo's little rabbit cub doesn't have the courage to joke about this kind of thing. However, Zhou Zhuo said that he would follow Luo Songxi to avenge the general. ”
"Rosong Creek ......" Curry once hated this name, and in Fort St. John, the first object he wanted to assassinate was Rosong Creek.
"I know you hate Luo Songxi, and at Fort St. John, you shot him with your triangular nails, right? Although Zhou Hu was blind, he could still see what he was thinking.
"If there was no Luo Songxi, General Tan Hongfeng would not have died, if General Tan Hongfeng was still here, you joined forces, this battle would not have been fought so badly. ”
"Shut up, don't talk to me about Hongfeng again. Zhou Hu reprimanded, "Why don't you say it, if he is not greedy, this battle can be fought with me?"
Curry was silent.
"Forget it," General Zhou Hu sighed, "I also know that the money didn't go into his pocket because the hole in Heishi Mountain could never be filled...... When I get there, I'll plead with General Konica for him. ”
"Sir," Curry said suddenly, "You said that Luo Songxi and Zhou Zhuo will succeed?"
"Will it succeed?" General Zhou Hu muttered, "I don't know, anyway, the Federation's tomorrow will depend on them." ”
Curry only felt that his right arm sank, and when he looked over, General Zhou Hu had fallen crookedly.
The sound of leather boots was heard, and the ranks of Imperial Army soldiers in black uniforms drove over again.
Curry put down the chief's chilling body and lunged towards the ranks of Imperial soldiers.
The right hand is opened, and a three-edged nail whistles out, which should be combined with the magic cast by the left hand...... Forget it, I don't have a left hand anymore, and I always forget about it.
This was the last thought of Colonel Curry, a wanted man at the federal level.
The next moment, he was drowned in the black sea of Imperial soldiers.
On December 3, 125 years of the Federal Third Republic Calendar, General Zhou Hu, commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region of the Federation, was martyred in North Bay State.
The commander-in-chief of the five major military districts of the federation has gone to two out of five.
......
......
Day 6.
The junction of the Federation, the Zaum Region and the Dongyue Region.
This is a secret warehouse and stronghold of the Green Lions, the largest gang in the Federation, in Dongyue State.
"Honorable Chief of the Joint Security Commission, dear human friends," a green-skinned goblin said politely to Luo Songxi.
"Tomorrow the Empire's army will be coming, and we will have to abandon our stronghold here and move west. ”
Luo Songxi bent down to shake hands with the greenskin goblin, "Goodbye my goblin friend, thank you for the supplies and information you have provided these days. ”
"This is what we should do, dear human friends. The green-skinned goblin shook Luo Songxi's hand with both hands, "I look forward to the day when we will see you again." ”
In the past few days, Luo Songxi has been hiding in the stronghold of the Green Lion Gang with Zhou Zhuo, Daya, Qiu Lin and others, preparing for his revenge plan.
In the past few days, there has been a lot of news outside, and it is unclear whether it is true or false, but Luo Songxi ignores it. The states at the foot of the 100,000 mountains in the eastern part of the federation have fallen one after another, and Luo Songxi can only express regret that he has no ability to turn the tide.
The person who has the ability to turn the tide is no longer there, and all Luo Songxi can do is to seriously plan and act for his revenge.
In the past few days, he has been silent, focused, and calm, arranging one thing after another. It was as if he had gone back to his youth, when he could mechanically and tediously prepare for more than ten days in order to hunt a horse bandit, or lurk in a dark place for days and nights.
It's just that what he originally killed was a bronze-level silver-level horse bandit, but now, what he wants to hunt is a Saint-level federal brigadier general, plus a legendary-level imperial prince.
Gu Congjun and Prince Caton must pay the price for General Konica's death, pay the price of their lives!
When he was eight years old, Luo Songxi was bullied by his classmates, and he beat up all his classmates.
When he was ten years old, he stabbed himself in the body of the horse bandit who killed his parents.
At the age of eighteen, his beloved god of war died, and even though he tried to get back to the Federation from the Empire, he could not save General Konica.
Then the murderer who killed General Konica must be killed to the letter. Whether it's a sanctuary or a legend, whether it's a general or a prince, you must kill it to the letter.
This is the most basic code of conduct that Luo Songxi, as a wasteland horse hunter from childhood to adulthood.
......
......
The goblins drove two trucks and evacuated the secret stronghold in the middle of nowhere.
The chattering green-skinned goblin was gone, and the colony quickly deserted.
The small team around Luo Songxi still had three members of the original General Konica personal guard led by Zhou Zhuo, six members of the airship security group led by Daya, and five members of Qiu Lin and the airship piloting group.
Big Tooth walked in, shook his sore arm, and said to Luo Songxi, who was busy:
"Speaking of revenge, shouldn't we go to the battlefield to find the Imperials desperately? Why are we hiding here these days, even though the fighting is raging outside...... Boring to carve a bunch of circles?"
Since Luo Songxi found the secret stronghold of this green-skinned goblin through the channel of the Joint Security Commission, Luo Songxi asked the green-skinned goblins for a lot of inexplicable materials, and then arranged for them to continuously engrave the flame-blasting magic circle every day.
Although Zhou Zhuo was not good at alchemy, after all, after listening to Professor Sang Rachel's alchemy class for half a year, the basic flame explosion array could still be completed.
Luo Songxi silently tinkered with a pair of materials that exuded a pungent smell, and then divided them into countless small portions, and then encapsulated each material into a bamboo tube with a group of two flame explosion arrays.
"It's a little boring now, so that when we act tomorrow, we will fight less of our lives and more of the lives of the Imperial. ”
Luo Songxi replied as he put a bamboo tube that had just been wrapped in his hand and lightly put it into a box at his feet.
"The portion is almost enough, you can rest for the day tonight and prepare for tomorrow's action. He said.
"It's not that I doubt you, but are you sure this thing works?" said Big Tooth, "After all, on the battlefield, high-level mages are the absolute masters. No matter how much flame explosion magic circle there is, can it hurt Caton?"
"The high-level magician on the battlefield is the absolute master?" Luo Songxi remembered what he had said when he was 77 in the defense of Tarta Town, and the corners of his mouth curled, "From tomorrow, it may not be." ”
Zhou Zhuo also walked in.
Luo Songxi saw that his eyes were red and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"My father was martyred. Zhou Zhuo poured the new batch of engraved Flame Explosion Array onto the table in front of Luo Songxi and said softly.
"Reliable information?" Luo Songxi asked him.
"Reliable, the latest issue of the Empire's leaflets, the photos are there. Zhou Zhuo's voice was still soft.
Luo Songxi took a copy of the empire's "Victory Daily" in Zhou Zhuo's hand, the background of the photo should be the Bay Area of Beiwan Prefecture, General Zhou Hu was lying on the ground, his leg was broken, and his military uniform was covered with blood, only the four generals on his shoulders were still shining.
Luo Songxi didn't know how to comfort Zhou Zhuo. Zhou Zhuo still said softly as if whispering:
"My father wrote to me once when he left Fort St. John for North Bay State, and he reassured me that he was not going to North Bay State to fight hard with the Imperials, but to bring the sons of the Northern Military District back to Fort St. John to set up defenses. ”
He said that the North Bay State would certainly not be able to hold on, and that only by gathering superior forces and meeting the Imperials at Fort St. John would we be able to turn the tables around. He said that only he could bring the main forces of the Northern Military Region back to Fort St. John safely, not General Romero, let alone Gu Changfeng and Aurazer Yinyue. ”
"Now I think the main force of the Northern Military Region should be on the way to a safe retreat, but he has stayed in the North Bay State forever. ”
"I finally know why General Konica said sorry to me that day. ”
In fact, he doesn't need to apologize, his father has finally cleared the stigma of the past two years. ”
"Luo Songxi," he said in a loud voice suddenly, "I'll be in charge of luring the enemy tomorrow." ”
"No," Luo Songxi flatly refused, "If you want your father to walk in peace, you can dig a pit for me honestly." If you want to kill a few more Imperial people to avenge your father, you can honestly bury mines for me. ”
......
......
Day 7.
The junction of the Federation, the Zaum Region and the Dongyue Region.
