"Father, I'm here."
In the Demacia garrison area, two kilometers away from Mogro Pass, Galen, wearing a brand-new military uniform, lifted the curtain of the Chinese army camp.
Leo frowned, and his expression was serious: "Galen, how many times have I taught you, there is no father and son in the army, only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you go out and report again." ”
"......" Galen muttered a few words in his heart, and walked out of the tent with great reluctance, "Report to the general, Galen, a member of the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment, has come to report." ”
"Come in!" Leo looked up, and Galen shrugged his shoulders like a deflated ball. "A soldier must look like a soldier, you stand up straight for me, hold your head high!"
"Yes." Galen was agitated, his legs together, his knees straightened, and his five fingers of his hands were pressed against the seams of his trousers, and he stood in a standard military posture.
"Hmm." Leo nodded, gesturing to the chair next to the desk and motioning for him to sit down.
"Training camp completed?"
As soon as Galen's ass touched the bench, he heard Leo's inquiry, and he quickly nodded: "Yes general, it was over three days ago." ”
"Very good, Galen, you can win the championship and become the new Demacia force, father is really happy for you, to be honest Galen, I look up to you."
"Thank you, father." Galen's face flushed slightly, and he turned his face a little shyly, after all, it was the first time he had heard his father praise him since he had grown so old.
"Do your job, remember, there are no bad breeds in the Crownguard family." Leo stood up, patted Galen on the shoulder, and smiled, "Alright, you should report to the alternate team." ”
"Hmm......" Hearing the three words of the alternate team, Galen's face was black as if he had been painted with a layer of paint, and he asked in a slurred voice, "Father, I ...... Is it to serve on the alternate team? ”
"Of course, every soldier who joins the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment must undergo a week's training in the reserve team, and only after passing the assessment can he be considered an official member of the Pioneer Regiment, which is the eternal rule of the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment."
"But....... I was also escorted into the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment, why did everyone else hold important positions, even Quinn was unusually promoted to second lieutenant, and I was just a cadet on the reserve team? ”
"Because you are the son of my Leo, a member of the Crownguard family. So, you have to start from the very beginning. ”
"It's not fair!" Galen jumped up from his chair, his fists clenched, his nails about to dig into the flesh, and from the violently heaving chest, he could tell that he was really angry, and he stood there with a grunt, his eyebrows furiously raised, and he stared at General Leo without saying a word.
"You don't have to stare at me like that." In response to Galen's questioning, Leo just smiled casually: "If you can't accept it, then get out, go home and be your eldest young master, no one blames you anyway." ”
"You're underestimating me, look at it, I'll be a general one day."
Looking at Galen's back who was furious and gradually disappeared into the Chinese army camp, Leo smiled bitterly, "Don't blame me, Galen, one day you will understand that my father did this all for you." ”
The water flows eastward, the leaves fall one after another, and the time passes quietly like a flash in the pan.
A week later, Galen joined the Dreadnought Pioneer with the first grade in the team, officially becoming a part of the Pioneer Regiment. And he also received the first military order in his life - to follow his commander and participate in the general attack on Mogro Pass at 12 o'clock this morning.
Mogro Pass, located in the east of the Giant God Peak, is known as the first Xiongguan in Noxus, and the Mogro Pass, which is the throat of the north-south traffic of the Valoran Continent, once made the rise of the political economy of the Giant God Peak, which is still stuck in the tribal civilization, the annual tariff alone is enough to cover the tax revenue of Noxus, which makes other forces jealous.
The rising sun shrouded the vast forest, through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you can see that surrounded by many thorns and roses, stands an ancient Xiongguan, the pass seems to be a long time ago, the high gray city wall is crawling with dark green vines, so many of them, almost all surround the window, some even burrow into the window, revealing a bit of gloom.
But in front of this gloomy castle, at this time it is full of white roses, and the roses in the wind still have a clear smile, so simple that it is fascinating, delicate as silk white so light, and the morning dew on the petals is like crystal, reflecting the colorful light in the bright morning sun.
Whether it is the scorching sun or the severe cold and heat, the white roses here are undefeated and will never wither, but under the white roses, there are all kinds of corpses.
Commander of the garrison at Mogro Pass, the private castle of Dremucci.
The castle at night, as if everything had been revived from silence. Gorgeous candlesticks, flickering candles, warm fireplaces, silver-glittering cutlery.
"It's been more than a week, why haven't the reinforcements come yet, sir, the food hoards in the city are almost clean......"
In the chicly decorated dining room, Madame de Lay sat at the table and scooped up the white porridge from the celadon bowl with a silver spoon and fed it to her mouth.
On the chair opposite the dining table, sat Dremucci, who was also frowning, and when he heard Mrs. Dremoch's words, Dremucci put down the hard steamed bun in his hand, and pretended to smile calmly: "The elite troops of Noxus are all in the capital, and the army has been open for a while, don't worry, I estimate that the reinforcements are already on the way, wait patiently for two more days." ”
"Alas, I'm afraid I can't wait for reinforcements." Madame Drye sighed, raised her head, and poured the remaining little white porridge from the bowl into her mouth. "Today, Noxus is embattled and ...... on its back"
"Don't be discouraged, General Dukkao personally promised to send troops to support us. As long as you hold on for two days, hold Mogro, and wait for the arrival of the Noxus army, the situation will be reversed. After comforting Madame de Lay, Dremmouch stopped talking, picked up the half-pulled steamed buns on his plate and devoured them with a big mouthful. In fact, he knows better than anyone else that after so long, reinforcements will not come. Come to think of it, the main forces of Noxus are all trapped on the front line between Bandel City and Ionia, unable to move. Duke Kao was too busy to take care of himself, and he couldn't spare troops to support him. It's just that he doesn't want to admit it, the more he thinks about it, the more aggrieved he becomes, the dignified Noxian Army Lieutenant General, the contemporary patriarch of the Delai family, just because he was drunk at a banquet and contradicted the prince William III, he was framed, if it weren't for General Dukkao who transferred him to Mogro Pass, which is 108,000 miles away from the capital, as the commander of the garrison, I am afraid that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a dark Noxus prison.
"No matter what, you must defend Mogro, even if you lose your own life, you will never let a Demacian soldier pass through the pass alive!" Darius swore a secret oath as he removed his helmet from the barstool by the diner's window and strode out the door.
"Master, where are you going so late?"
"I'll go to sleep in the city tower, it's a critical moment, you must not be careless, you rest early, behave."
On summer nights, the heat envelops the earth, and the weary moon hides in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars as if to keep watch.
The Mogro Great Hall was silent at the moment, and only the bronze bell hanging high in the drum tower was still tirelessly working. As the minutes and seconds passed, the hour and minute hands on the clock slowly jumped, knowing that they gradually converged and merged into a straight vertical line......
"Buzz...... Buzz"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, an urgent trumpet sounded out of nowhere, followed by a cry like a fiery fire.
Twenty-seven thousand well-armed hoplites, under the command of General Leo, rushed in a sudden formation to the towers of Mogro Pass. Everywhere he went, the dust was flying, and the momentum resounded in the air.
"Archer, prepare!" Seeing the Demacian enemy soldiers getting closer and closer to the city wall, De Miniqi's eyes were full of coldness, he drew his sword in the box, and with a wave of it, thousands of feathered arrows shot at the oncoming heavy armor soldiers like poisonous snakes, and the row of Demacian soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground like cut wheat.
"The shield soldiers became the front army, and the archers became the rear army. Creeping forward! ”
The general Leo gave an order, and the formation of the sudden arrow changed, and the heavy armor soldiers at the sharp corners of the front instantly scattered to the left and right, and the shield soldiers of the Chinese army set up their shields and quickly stepped forward, which was worthy of the arrows flying in the sky. At the rear of the line, the heavy armoured soldiers and archers slowly advanced with the help of the sturdy shield wall erected by the shield soldiers.
"General, the enemy is too cunning, our archers can't shoot them, what to do?"
At Mogro Pass, Dremoch held on to the city wall, and glanced faintly at the enemy's heavily armored infantry under the city, and the haze on his face was even worse.
"Oh no, look, general, the enemy is approaching the city gate."
Indeed, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the enemy soldiers who could not see the edge at a glance had reached the foot of the city wall at this moment, and hundreds of engineers braved the rain of bullets and bullets to quickly set up a series of ladders on the tower of Mogro Pass.
"Pour fuel, archers point rockets, targets, enemy dense spots."
Under the personal command of the garrison commander Dremucci, the defenders of Mogro Pass began to counterattack. Hundreds of crossbows on the city wall swished indiscriminately, firing all kinds of firearms, and striking hard at the Demacian army, and the dozen or so cloud ladders that had just been erected were also burned in an instant. When the battle was fierce, arrows and artillery stones rained down on the city, and many of the Demacian troops were killed and wounded. The great general Leo personally supervised the battle and attempted to carve into the city. The tenacious Demacian heavy armoured soldiers, with shields on their heads, braving arrows, stones, firearms, and siege equipment, the front team fell, and the rear team followed, and no one retreated.
"Choked" I saw Leo, the commander of the Demacian army, angrily inserted the sword at his waist into the ground, and shouted to the sky: "Soldiers, although the Noxian army is brave, but our Demacian children are not cowards, this time we are ordered by the king to crusade, and we will never retreat an inch, otherwise how can we be worthy of the slaughtered Demacian people, how to face those old people and children who have lost their loved ones." Ben will use this sword as a line, but whoever retreats from the line will be killed! We will advance and retreat together with you, and we will not break this city and vow not to return! ”
As Leo spoke, he heard the silence in the field and even the howling of the cold wind, and after half a sound, he saw the Demacian soldiers raise their arms one by one and shout: "If you don't break this city, you won't return it!" If you don't break this city, you won't pay it back! ”
Leo's heroic words played a good role in motivating, more and more archers from under the shield stone piers and other bunkers to shoot arrows at the Noxian army on the city tower to shoot arrows back, Demacian army can penetrate the Yang in a hundred paces abound, a rain of arrows fell, the Noxian soldiers on the city were seriously wounded.
Dremucci hurriedly called out to the orderly soldiers who were on standby under the city to go up to the city and carry the wounded and dead down the city for treatment. Then he commanded the army to use rolling logs and gravel to smash the nearby Demacian soldiers to death and wound them.
Although the defenders of Mogro Pass were few in number, they fought bravely to defend their homeland. Drymouch ordered two lieutenants with excellent archery skills to open their bows and arrows, and constantly sniped the enemy at the officer level of Demacia, plus took advantage of the defense of the city. Although the Demacian army was outnumbered, it did not take advantage of it.
Seeing that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, Leo who was sweeping the formation saw that his subordinates were killed and wounded, and despite the cover of a strong and heavy shield, someone still fell to the ground from time to time, and he couldn't help but be furious, and took dozens of guards around him, under the cover of the shield, raised two wooden ladders and rushed to the city murderously.
At a glance, Dremucci saw Leo, who was guarded by dozens of personal soldiers, and couldn't help but frown, and shouted: "Take my treasure carving bow." ”
"No." A guard handed over a crossbow in response, the bronze bow body was like a crescent moon, and a few gems were sporadically inlaid on it, simple and simple, noble but not luxurious. The silver bowstring has been baptized by time, but it has not slackened at all, and it is still tight on the bow, which is both elegant and solemn.
Dremucci bent his bow, took a sharp arrow from the quiver of the archer beside him, and put it on the string, and a smile hung obliquely on the corner of his mouth, "Die..."
Hold the bow as strong, and use the arrow as the long. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king.
