Chapter 480: Raising the Banner of Righteousness

The wrath of the emperor, bleeding thousands of miles......

Danube City, at this time has also been shrouded in the white snow, a remnant of less than 20,000 defeated generals, with more than 10,000 druids and centaurs, appeared outside the city, this force of people, in the white jungle wilderness, is particularly conspicuous......

"Woo ......"

"Enemy attackβ€”"

The sentinels of Danube sounded the horn of vigilance, and the defenders of the city climbed the city wall one after another to guard the outside. General Smector, the commander of the city guard, personally ascended the city, looking at this army of druids with no morale and no simplicity from afar, and wondered in his heart.

The other party came slowly, not a siege posture, and the composition of the army was complex, mainly druids, and the clothing of other armies was not uniform, and it was not even like an army at all, more like a wave of refugees.

"General, it's the banner of the advance army!" The lookout shouted at Smecta from the high arrow tower in his hand.

"Summons, no unauthorized attack without an order!" Smecta, who was full of doubts, felt that things were strange, and he was in an irritable mood, and an inexplicable sense of fear spread to every hair on his body, making him shiver, the winter in Danube City was too cold!

The army under the city stopped two arrows away, and a man who looked like a general, holding a white flag, went to the city gate and shouted to the city, "The vanguard of the advance army, Berondo, asks to see Major Marshal Smitta!" ”

"Berondo?" Smecta was taken aback, this is the vanguard general of the advance army, who followed his father Schneider in his early years, made great achievements, and won the trust and reuse of his father, how could he fall into this step? Smecta looked at the general carefully, although the other party's face was covered with blood and dirty, but Smitt was completely sure that it was Berondo, "Open the city gate!" ”

Smida gave the order and walked down the gate tower, waited for the gate to open, and despite the dissuasion of the soldiers around him, he walked out of the gate and went to meet Berondo.

"Young Marshal-Woo Woo......" Seeing Berondo who Smith personally went down to the city to greet him, he slowly knelt down and wept silently after a long journey of more than 20 days in the wind and snow......

"Uncle Berondo, how did you end up in this field!" Smecta hurriedly stepped forward to help Berondo up and asked in surprise.

"Young marshal, more than twenty days ago, Lord Marshal died in battle, woo ......" Berondo insisted on kneeling and choking to speak.

"What?" Smitta's head was suddenly dizzy, and he stopped holding Berondo's hand, almost standing unsteadily, but fortunately, the guards around him immediately stepped forward to help him, he seemed to can't believe his ears, and asked sharply, "You say it again!" ”

"Lord Marshal is dead in battle, Lord Marshal is gone, gone, woo......" Berondo couldn't bear to mention it again, but Smida asked him to say it again.

Smecta shook his head and shouted: "Impossible, some time ago, there were still frequent good news, the army also attacked Ningguta City, the enemy is gone, how can some remnants of the forces have to take my father's life!" You must lie to me, lie to me, don't you? ”

Berondo looked at the young marshal who had just come of age, and heard the news of his father's death, not to mention his son, even his own personal entourage, he couldn't accept it: "It's not the druid, it's Benjamin, the dog thief, who first treacherously killed people with a knife, and let Cesar block the outside, and when we and Cesar were both defeated and exhausted, this dog thief and Pantony led the main force of the recovery army to attack us from the north and south in two ways, and wiped out all the main forces of the advance army and the restoration army, and the marshal was killed in battle, CΓ©sar, the dog thief, also died. When the marshal was dying, he ordered me to lead the army to break through the siege, come to find the young marshal, and after a long journey of more than 20 days, I finally saw the young marshal, woo woo woo ......"

After receiving the news of his father's death in battle, Smida was already a mess and couldn't cry, and after a long time, he held back his tears and helped Berondo up. He knew that he couldn't mess up, even if he was sad, he couldn't let his soldiers see it, otherwise, at this moment of crisis, when the whole army was looking at him, he would inevitably be infected, he must stabilize the morale of the army, and now he had to endure his grief and said: "General Berondo, this is not the place to speak, you break through, the tail may not be clean, in case the enemy follows, it will be troublesome, please enter the city first!" ”

"Yes, young marshal!" Seeing that although Smitt was grieving, he was in danger, clear-headed, and calm, and Berondo couldn't help but be secretly frightened and admired, and immediately waved his hand towards the rear.

"Herald, all gates open!" Smida ordered the guards around him, "Let the army enter the city immediately, order the entire army and civilians in the city, immediately boil water for cooking, and arrange barracks!" Also, keep the whole army on guard in case the enemy is following! ”

"Yes, General!" The guards beside him said, "But, those druids? ”

Smida then remembered that there were ordinary druids and centaurs in Berondo's army, and he looked at Belondo suspiciously.

"My own people!" Berondo said without hesitation.

Smida nodded, and continued to the guards beside him, "Pass the order! ”

"Yes, General!"

……

In a little more than an hour, more than 30,000 people entered the Danube through all the gates.

In the hall of Smecta's mansion, more than a dozen generals and druid leaders were sitting under Smagenta, and Smecta had already learned the ins and outs of the matter from Berondo and the generals around him.

"Young marshal, the last general is not good for the lord, please punish the young marshal!" Berondo got up and said, "But the last general wants to borrow his own head first, and when the young marshal raises an army to crusade against Benjamin's dog thief, the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the young marshal, and wait until he cuts off Benjamin's dog head, avenges the marshal, and then returns the head to the young marshal, and then the young marshal will kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

"Unexpectedly, it was us who killed Marshal Schneider!" Boles got up and said, "It was I who blamed General Marisa for making a desperate move to find Marshal Schneider to hijack the execution ground, and the Marshal killed me for the sake of the defeated generals and the people who surrendered, it is really not worth it, I regret it now, and I am willing to bear the main responsibility for the death of the marshal!" General Marisa is kind and benevolent, Marshal Schneider is high-spirited, I not only killed the marshal, but also General Marisa, I have learned that General Marisa was under house arrest by his mother General Josephine before the accident, it seems that this incident was originally Benjamin's conspiracy! ”

"This is Benjamin's conspiracy!" Smida nodded and said slowly, "Don't blame yourself anymore, there is a debtor who is wronged, and you will ask Benjamin to repay this account." This was originally a trap, how could Josephine have placed General Marissa under house arrest in advance if Benjamin hadn't known General Marisa's plan in advance, and hadn't learned about his father's plan? How could Benjamin have been so prepared? Originally, Benjamin was going to set up this bureau for his father to drill, how could you prevent it? Even if it wasn't for the kidnapping of the execution ground, he would still find another reason to do it to his father. Eh, if Mr. Higg was there, we would have been able to see through this conspiracy, and it's no wonder that we didn't have the ability to keep Mr. Silger! Fortunately, my father had a back hand and refused to merge my advance detachment with his main army, otherwise, these 80,000 soldiers in Danube would also become the soul of Benjamin's sword! Now that the enemy has learned that there is still an advance party army in Danube, it is not safe here, generals, what are your plans, just say it! ”

Berondo stood up and bowed to Smecta and said, "The survivors of the advance army are willing to follow the young marshal and jointly crusade against Benjamin, and they will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

"We have already discussed with the Druids, Benjamin is cruel and unkind, untrustworthy and unjust, as long as General Smecta raises an army to fight, we are willing to follow the general. If the general has any concerns about us, we will not let Benjamin get away with it, even if he dies, we will fight him! ”

Smitta said: "All the generals are experienced in a hundred battles, and the prestige in the army is above me, I am still young in seniority, and I am not qualified to be the standard-bearer of the crusade against Benjamin. ”

"Young marshal!" "General Smitter!" Everyone in the hall immediately knelt down, and Berondo said: "This matter must be led by the young marshal!" ”

"I'm ......," Smita hurriedly stepped forward to help Berondo up.

"The young marshal listened to the last general's words!" Berondo said, "First, among all the forces now, the young marshal has 80,000 elites, the most powerful, and the powerful are respected, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, please don't postpone the young marshal to take the position; Second, we are all following the marshal, the marshal is gone, the advance army will naturally be inherited by the young marshal, the name is justified, if the young marshal shirks and allows others to take the position at will, it will inevitably cause all kinds of disobedience and lead to infighting, and the advance army will destroy the Great Wall; Third, although the main force of the advance army was wiped out, there were still many troops stationed in fortress towns in other places, and there were also the remnants of the soldiers who were killed and scattered by Benjamin in various places, all of whom were loyal to the advance army and Marshal Schneider, and only the young marshal under the banner of the marshal could reconvene and collect these scattered armies and reorganize a powerful advance army. And the one who can set up the banner in this name must be the marshal's son, Major Marshal Smitta. If the young marshal blindly shirks, it will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers, but also make the marshal and hundreds of thousands of soldiers know that we will not do our best to assist the young marshal and die without turning a blind eye. The young marshal doesn't allow it, we can't afford to kneel! ”

"What General Berondo said, I feel the same way!" Bols also said excitedly, "When the marshal was dying, he did not forget General Marisa's entrustment and ordered General Berondo's most elite vanguard battalion to ensure that my druid department could break through no matter what, and this was the only army that broke through. If it weren't for the righteousness of the marshal, and General Berondo and his subordinates, who disregarded life and death to cover our breakthrough, we druids would have fallen into the ghost of Benjamin's sword. The righteousness of Lord Marshal, the shamelessness of Benjamin's dog thief, and the nowhere to go of my druid department, we are willing to follow under the banner of the young marshal to avenge the marshal, to be ashamed of my druid department, and to be able to eat Benjamin's flesh and blood to vent our anger, liver and brain, go to the soup and fire, and never retreat! Although our department is alone, but after all, it has been operating in this territory for thousands of years, and not all the heritage can be completely wiped out, there are still many remnants of the Druid Department everywhere, although the three major druids have been imprisoned by Benjamin, but the Druid Elders are among us, we will re-recruit the old department, gather the Druid forces from all over the country, the Centaur tribe, and join the advance army! Wanwang Young Marshal misses us and waits for a piece of sincerity, and for the sake of the same enemy, take in our department and raise the banner of righteousness together! If the young marshal doesn't allow it, I can't afford to kneel for the chief! ”
