Chapter VII: The Outbreak of War

The captain was not happy to hear my request: "Do you think logistics are not important?" ”

"It's important, it's just that I feel like I should get formal training so I can fight in the future, and Tabor said I would save Demacia."

"There are many ways to save, and it is not necessarily to participate in battle, it is not an easy task to ensure that everyone's diet, weapons, armor, and horses are in good condition at all times, don't be pretentious because of the words of the Tabo sage, it is good for newcomers to have enthusiasm and ideals, but unthinking enthusiasm can also lead people to the grave."

When the captain said this, I felt that I was indeed a little short-sighted, and quickly apologized and went back to the camp, working harder than before, but a week later I was transferred and reassigned to a combat team.

The new captain's name is Alvin, he treats people very kindly, never scolds, let alone beats people, especially takes good care of me, everyone is very obedient, probably this is to convince people with virtue, I thought to myself.

The first two months of training were very hard, and I was often too tired to get up, but the captain specially reduced the amount of training for me.

By the third month, I was basically able to keep up with everyone's rhythm, and at this time, my body was thicker, and because of my age, I grew a lot.

Constantly training, constantly strengthening, half a year passed quickly, and I also grew into a real soldier.

To my dismay, I wrote a lot of letters to Fiona during this period, but I didn't receive a single reply, but Lux wrote me several letters, encouraging me and recounting a lot of miscellaneous things.

In the eighth month, it was early summer, and the eastern mountain range was heavily forested, and the weeds at the foot of the mountains grew like crazy.

According to Tabor Sage's prophecy, we and the Noxian army will fight when the vegetation is thick, and last year they were ready to move, but they did not assemble, will they attack this year?

I was thinking about it when I received an urgent summoning order from General Galen.

In front of the general's tent, in addition to Galen and his personal guard, there was also a person standing, this person was tightly wrapped all over, and it seemed that he had just arrived.

When the man removed his mask, I saw a rough face with several scars on it, not deep but ruined in appearance.

I hadn't seen it but I knew it, and I recognized it when I saw the crossbow on her arm and the giant eagle hovering in the airβ€”Wings of Demacia, Quinn.

If I hadn't seen her with my own eyes, I really didn't expect her to be like this: short, plain and disfigured, and her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't tell even the slightest male or female, but her eyes were bright and compelling!

"General, I have received accurate information, the Noxian army has been assembled, and it is expected to arrive here in a month, please be ready to meet the battle!"

"I'm always ready, do I know who their general is?"

"It's Darius."

"Okay, hard work, you continue to investigate, if there is any problem worth reporting, report it at any time, if it's inconvenient, let Hua Luo come to visit."

"Yes."

"Wait."

A sonorous and powerful response, Quinn was about to leave without even resting, and I stepped in to stop her, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but subconsciously did so.

I finally met an acquaintance, and I didn't want to part in such a hurry, so I didn't even say a word.

Quinn glanced at me and saw that it was a stranger, his gaze was still cold: "Stranger, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I see that you are running around and working, and I want you to rest ......"

"Time is pressing, there is no time to rest!"

Before I could finish speaking, she interrupted me, and showed a look of disgust, and turned to leave again, when Galen spoke: "Then let's go into the account and rest, and let Hua Luo replenish his strength." ”

Quinn hesitated, then agreed, looking at me with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

As if not knowing why I had such a big face, she whistled, and Warlot swooped down, and Galen asked one of the guards to bring a whole live sheep to treat it.

We sat down in the tent, and Galen gave me and Quinn an introduction, which was not necessary for me, but I listened obediently.

When Quinn learns that I am the young master of the Laurent family and the prophesied savior, her attitude softens a lot:

"Is Fiona okay?"

"Very good, thank you for your concern."

Galen smiled rarely: "Don't be so polite, I was good friends with Quinn and Fiona when we were children, but then we had too many things to do, so there was a lot less communication." ”

I knew that Quinn's lines mentioned Galen and Fiona, but I didn't expect them to be small, looking at Quinn's current appearance, she must have suffered a lot, she is a great Demacian warrior!

We chatted for a while, and I noticed that Quinn's eyes were different when he looked at Galen, not cold at all, full of admiration, even admiration, of course, they were small, and it was possible that I was wrong.

After Hua Luo finished replenishing her strength, Quinn got up again to say goodbye, this time I didn't stay, she left the camp, grabbed Hua Luo's claws with both hands, and quickly disappeared from view.

It wasn't until after Quinn left that Galen mentioned me:

"Tabor Sage's prophecy has always been accurate, and since he said that you would make our sacrifices much lower, then he naturally has a point, but I didn't find anything peculiar about you, and I didn't know where to send you, so I gave you the right to freedom of movement in wartime, and you don't have to obey anyone's orders when you go to war, except me."

"Thank you for trusting the general, I will definitely give my all, for the sake of Demacia, I will lead the charge!"

I have said this perfunctory statement countless times, I joined the army firstly to prove myself, and secondly, to exercise my skills to gain Fiona's favor, which has nothing to do with Demacia's honor.

After I left, Galen issued a rally order for a general mobilization in wartime, his expression as serious as ever, and his tone with unquestionable majesty:

"Warriors of the Fearless Vanguard, you are the bravest warriors of Demacia, and you have the highest honor in the entire kingdom's army, and this honor is not given to me or King Garvin, but to our brothers and sisters, let us fight to protect them! I will lead the charge! ”

"I will take the lead in the charge......" Everyone shouted, feeling that the surrounding ground was trembling, no wonder the two armies had to shout and kill while fighting, this momentum was a strong fighting force.

After the mobilization was over, we divided into five groups and spread out in a long line, and when the enemy's offensive position was determined, we assembled to meet them, and I went with Captain Alvin to the southern end of the eastern mountain range and re-stationed.

War could start at any time, and I was never mentally prepared, in other words, I didn't feel it at all.

War is out of reach in the places where I once lived, only in books and in movies and TV shows, where the people are dead and the heroes are admirable.

The southern part of the country is hotter and hotter, and on the third night I was so irritable that I couldn't sleep tossing and turning, so I got up and went for a walk outside.

The stars in the sky are bright and dazzling, and the night breeze is very pleasant with the scent of grass, and soon, this vast plain at the foot of the mountain will become a battlefield? It is heart-wrenching to think that such a beautiful place is about to be trampled by war.

I took out the Giantstone that Tabor had given me, and its luster was even more beautiful in the night light.

I haven't taken it out since he gave it to me, and now I opened the box and held the stone in my hand, it was cool and silky, and a little slippery and comfortable, so that my irritability disappeared, and with the warm wind blowing, I fell asleep on the grass.

I was in a daze when I was awakened by the sound of a trumpet, and when I opened my eyes, I found that it was just dawn, and there was a cry from the camp not far away: The army of Noxus has pressed over! Sooner than expected!

They chose the southern end of the Eastern Mountains, a low-lying place where our team was located, and the Eagle Falcon ordered to go north, and when the other teams received the news, they would rush to help.

But the army of Noxus is approaching, and they march like hungry wolves, unheeded of the traps and barriers we have laid.

Towards noon, we had already crossed five checkpoints to the top of the mountain, and at this time only one army had arrived, and the other three were still on the way.

In the face of the black and oppressive Noxian army, we fought and retreated according to Galen's plan, and there was no head-on confrontation.

Wait for them to be led to the vast wilderness, and then encircle and annihilate, but by the time the second team arrives, our vanguard has already encountered them.

"General Galen is coming soon, we must hold on!" Captain Alvin shouted and led us into battle.

At this time, I realized that the film and television drama portrayed the war too simply, and it takes a lot of courage just to face it.

In particular, the tragedy of two equally brave armies is unimaginable, and the precious lives have become worthless, and all the beauty has been eclipsed.

It's the first time I've experienced this kind of battle, and I don't think many people in the entire legion have experienced such a scene:

Everywhere was red, corpses were everywhere, people shouted and encouraged each other at first, and soon after joining the battle, no one said a word, only the sound of blades handing over and piercing through the body, and the smell of blood in the air choked the mouth.

Some people die as soon as they come up, and I think they are the happiest, because they can't see the next human tragedy.

Some people were scared at first, but after killing a few people, they became bloody and numb, and their brains involuntarily searched for enemies.

There are also people who are fearless from the beginning, and they do what they can until they are exhausted.

I probably belong to the second type of people, and I was very scared at first, and although my body rushed forward with everyone, I didn't do much to attack.

As the people around me keep falling, this fear accumulates to the limit and disappears, don't hurt me! Don't hurt my comrades! Rationality slowly faded away, and I became almost insane.

At this time, his brain was blank, and he just rushed towards the nearest enemy, and his body seemed to be disobeying his command.

When the weapon is short, he pulls out the sword he brought when he joined the army and continues to slash, and the swordsmanship he learned before is integrated with the combat skills honed after joining the army, and he unconsciously exerts himself to the extreme.

All five senses were lost, but the heartbeat was very strong, and the loud bang seemed to pierce the chest......

After some time, I tripped and fell on a slope, and something was struck on my waist, making a cracking sound.

Then the refreshing feeling spread throughout my body, as if being washed by a stream, so that my mind slowly recovered, only to find that my body was already scarred, and the deep wounds were shocking!

I reached out and touched the golem around my waist and found that the stone had cracked, and it was the energy emitted by this stone that had just awakened me.

The bubbling white liquid glittered with the brilliance of life, and I felt a strong sense of comfort that gave me a new lease of life, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It turns out that this stone can only play a role if it is broken, but if it is not for this situation and I accidentally break it, who would be willing to destroy this rare treasure?

It is no wonder that the Tabor family has not been able to understand the mystery for generations, and if they have the life to go back, they will have to apologize to them.

Filled with strength in me, I stood up again and found myself at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, there were corpses all around, both enemies and ours, and the mountain rumbled for some unknown reason, and I had never heard of a volcano here.

I didn't have time to think about it, because the people not far in front of me were still fighting, could it be that this stone gave me the strength to end the war? And then become a hero in the eyes of the world?

I felt a pang of excitement at the thought of this, but it didn't take long for several Noxian soldiers to discover me.

They swung their weapons at me, and I was about to test the power of the Giantstone, and I rushed forward with my sword, but the result was disappointing:

I was still the same person, only the wound had healed, and I was quickly knocked down in the face of a siege of more than a dozen people, one of whom raised his weapon and stabbed at me.

Originally, I thought that I had no way to live, but suddenly I heard a scream, I opened my eyes, and found two people in front of me, and the remaining few people stood on guard and found the murderer next to me: Quinn.

Her condition was no better than mine, several new wounds had been added to her already scarred cheek, one eye was also shot and covered in blood, and the quiver on her waist was clean, and it seemed that the two arrows that had saved me were her last arrows.

"Hold on to Levo! Our men have all arrived, ready for a final showdown with the enemy. "Her already thin body was even more vulnerable to the strong Noxian soldiers, and if it weren't for saving me, she wouldn't have faced it head-on.

"Ugly!" When they saw that it was such a thin little girl who had shot their comrades just now, they were furious and rushed up at her, and I took this opportunity to fight them again.

Quinn was not very capable of frontal combat, and could only rely on his dexterous posture to dodge, and the dagger in his hand had no chance to pierce the thick armor.

But Hua Luo is very powerful, its claws are like steel hooks and constantly scratch at the enemy's face, once it catches it, it will drop two pieces of flesh, and once it falls to the ground, it will be scratched by the throat.

Winning this small battle didn't matter, there were still many enemies nearby, and they found that there was a fight here, and they kept gathering together, and in a moment no less than twenty people were gathered!

In the face of many enemies, Hua Luo's chances to attack are becoming less and less, and he keeps screaming and hovering in the air!

"You go! Let Warlot take you! "I urged Quinn to hurry up and get out of here, because it made no sense to spend time with me, but she didn't bother me at all, and was preoccupied with the fight.

Soon we were surrounded, and there was no chance to leave, Quinn's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and I watched as the enemy's sharp knife pierced her body, and Hua Luo swooped down with a scream, and remained on the ground forever.

I threw myself next to her and hugged her tightly, feeling the faint breath slowly disappearing, and she struggled unwillingly, saying her last words: "I...... Not yet...... Follow...... Gallian...... Confession ......"

I dripped the remaining liquid from the Golemstone onto her wounds, but to no avail, and the moment her breath vanished, the rage made me lose my mind again, and I rushed towards them alone.

The miracle did not appear, all was to no avail, the enemy gave her time to say a word, and all of them rushed at me as I rushed over, countless weapons piercing my chest.

I watched as my blood gushed out on the white liquid flowing from the Giantstone, and the sound of the mountains behind me became more and more intense, and I was unable to stand up again as I had imagined, and it seemed that I was mortally wounded, and the Golemite could not do anything......

His consciousness gradually blurred, his vision gradually dizzled, and he seemed to see a huge figure walking towards the battlefield......

I'm sorry Fiona, I couldn't protect your brother's body, and I can't continue, I love you......

It seems that I still haven't been able to become a hero after all......

Can you go back to the old world and live a dull commute to work......

Darkness strikes, and endless cold consumes me......
