137 Extraordinary courage
Considering the casualties of civilians and the future stability of the Higgs area, the Elanhill leadership ordered the civilians in the Higgs theater to retreat. This order saved the lives of millions of Higgs civilians, but it also caused unprecedented problems for the Elan Hill troops who advanced to the Higgs front.
The roads in the Higgs region, which were already in poor condition, are now congested by refugees. The westward movement of Irlanhill reinforcements, as well as the evacuation of the wounded and the transport of ammunition, were severely hampered.
This is something that no one expected beforehand, and it is something that did happen. As things stand, it seems that the chaos will continue for a long time, and the price for Alan Hill will be even more.
Having decided to protect the civilians of the Higgs region, they had to endure the hardships caused by the evacuation of refugees to the east. This is a strategic choice, there is no right or wrong, after all, no matter how you choose, there will be problems in the end.
Either civilians died tragically in the war zone, or the capacity was tight and the counterattack was delayed, in short, there was no perfect way.
However, at this moment, Her Royal Highness Princess Capet Luna, the former princess of the Higgs region, was among the refugees on the widest road, and she was anxious to see what was happening in front of her, and decided to come forward.
"I have to do something!" Looking at the crowded road and the eyes full of Higgs refugees, Princess Capet Luna rode on her horse and said to the captain of the guard beside her with some sadness.
"These people are hindering the movement of the Elanhill troops, they are dragging their feet and affecting the transportation of supplies......" The captain of the guard was worried and said, "I wonder why Iran Hill would allow our refugees to retreat, this is a very morale-affecting decision." β
No one knows his pain at this moment: the refugees in front of him can be chaotic at any moment, drawing them into the middle of it and leaving them dead with no place to bury. And in their ranks, there is also a dangerous dragon knight captive.
The dragon knight captive didn't get into trouble along the way, except that he himself had broken the ropes on his body with magic, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary: along the way he seemed like a gentleman, polite and gentle, and there was no sign that he had ever been a warrior who rode dragons.
But no matter how easy-going it is, putting such a dangerous character in the team is definitely a worrying thing. Along the way, the captain of the guard was wary of the captive and never let his guard down.
"That's because Iran Hill has made the people of Higgs the object they must protect! Such an army is a real army, and such an army is worthy of the enthusiastic land of Higgs! Princess Luna muttered as she stared at the refugees with no end in sight, as well as the Elanhill army crowded among the refugees.
"Let's set up camp nearby! Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that not far ahead, is the combat range of the 2nd Army...... We're not far from the front line......" The captain of the guard reminded his master a little helplessly.
This is not the first time he has reminded Her Royal Highness Princess Capet Luna like this, but the other party has no intention of taking his opinion at all. This stubborn princess is participating in this war in her own way.
Sure enough, in the next second, Princess Capet Luna pulled out the long sword at her waist, and her slender legs clamped the war horse under her crotch, and began to swim up the crowd.
As she confronted the nervous civilians, Luna raised her sword and shouted, "Get out of the way!" I'm Princess Capet Luna! Sons of Higgs! Follow in my footsteps! Get out of the way! β
Somewhat contrary to what the captain of the guard had imagined, the riot did not happen. Her words caused countless refugees to stop their progress, and then many of the commoners who had seen Her Royal Highness let out a slight cheer, thinking that the Higgs royal family had left, and many rumors said that the Capetian family had abandoned the Higgs people.
But now, these people saw Her Royal Highness who they once admired, and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess who had led them to countless dangers. Even a few months ago, Her Royal Highness the princess, who was the future queen in their minds, was the heroic Star of Higgs that they recognized.
The crowd quieted down a little, Luna's forehead slowed forward a little, and the people in front of her took the initiative to make way of space, and everyone looked up at Her Royal Highness the princess, who was still wearing the armor they were familiar with.
"I'm still here! I haven't left you yet! I have brought the soldiers of Iran Hill, and we are going to face a powerful enemy in this land, but we will not fail! Whether it is the Higgs or the Iran Hills, we will all defend our freedom with our lives! Luna shouted at the top of her voice as she walked forward.
Her voice was originally very good, but because of the excessive force, after a few shouts, her voice became completely hoarse. Although it is no longer as crisp as the cry of the yellow warbler, her voice still carries an unmistakable firmness.
Her Royal Highness, who had been stubborn and stubborn, returned, and the Higgs who crowded the road began to cheer, wave after wave.
On top of Iran Hill's truck, which was blocked in the crowd, the fully loaded soldiers carried 98K rifles and looked curiously at the little girl on horseback not far away. They didn't know what she was doing, but they knew she was beautiful at the moment.
"Higgs will never fall!" Although her voice was hoarse to a low level, Capelle Luna encouraged her people in an uncompromising voice, one after another, until everyone believed in her princess again.
Moving forward a short distance again, Capet Luna commanded, "Get out of the way!" Let the soldiers who fought for us go where they belong! The warriors to the west follow me, and the civilians to the south are forbidden to take the main road! Separate to the two sides of the roadbed to act! β
With her proud shout, the originally chaotic Higgs refugees began to walk down the road one after another, and the originally congested dirt road suddenly became wider. Young people began to line up on the roadbed spontaneously, and one by one small phalanxes were organized spontaneously.
The Higgs Kingdom can stand proudly for centuries between the Arrant Empire and the Holy Demon Empire, and naturally they have a reason for existence. Although this country is not big, it is full of stubbornness in its bones, as if it were their princess.
Unable to hear her voice at all, Luna still shouted in her completely muted voice, "The Higgs won't back down!" We don't hide behind others and wait for others to fight for our freedom! β
She rode across a phalanx of civilians organized spontaneously, like a general on a parade of soldiers: "Today we have no weapons, but we have our own bodies!" Every Higgs, or every Higgs who was once a soldier, must do their part for this war! β
"Man! Please take the initiative to help transport the wounded on the front line! All women! Do everything you can to take care of the wounded soldiers! We are not cowards! Let's complete our battle! Every time she passed a small phalanx, she would see the men and women in that phalanx raise their arms and press them to their chests.
This is the promise of the Higgs, as long as they put their right hand on their chest, then they will fulfill their promise, and it is only natural that they will never break their promise. For this promise, which belongs to Higgs, people here can give everything they have.
"Even if we give our lives, we will deliver weapons and ammunition to the soldiers who need them on the front line! We don't have a wagon, we don't have those advanced equipment of Iran Hill, so we will use our shoulders and backs to resist these things to the front! She rode forward, and the crowd in front of her retreated, making way for a clear road.
"We want the soldiers of Irlanhill to see the courage of our Higgs! We are not afraid of sacrifice, we are afraid of our bravery and there is nowhere to prove it! β
"For the last time! Please join me one last time, for Higgs! β
"For Higgs!" The crowd burst into the sky with a cry that overturned the sky, drowning out the voice of the princess, who was already hoarse.
Amid the frantic shouts of the people, a group of knights with their swords raised cut through the retreating crowd and cut the sea of refugees in half along the road. Behind this group of knights, Iran Hill's truck jolted forward, driving ten times as fast as it had been to the front line.

"Are you telling the truth? The girl at the front, really...... Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess of Higgs? Riding a horse and following the group, the captured young dragon knight looked at Capet Luna's back and asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" Following behind his princess, the captain of the guard proudly replied, "You have the honor of being the first soldier of the Holy Demon Empire to be captured by Her Royal Highness the Princess!" β
"I have to say, I think my impression of mortals is a little too ...... It's too one-sided. The dragon knight's eyes were full of curiosity and looked at Her Royal Highness the princess not far away, and subconsciously muttered, "She is really beautiful, and she is ...... It is different, exuding the unique charm of a strong woman, and it makes people have a great desire to conquer. β
"......" The captain of the guard slowed down, came to the dragon knight's side, and looked at the other party's expression full of admiration: "I have to admire your courage, as a captive, you dare to describe it like this, or rather, to tease Princess Higgs...... The future Empress of the Iran Hill Empire! β
"......" The dragon knight closed his mouth in embarrassment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
