"Chapter 406: The End of Old Tada"
The battlefield covered with corpses and stained red with blood is now surprisingly quiet, on the side of the hill, there is a huge number of Tada Federation Republican ** team with absolute air supremacy, in addition to those warriors from the tribal world, there are also many heavily armed southern armed forces, those are the local troops of Tada that Wang Shengzhe has recruited. The soldiers of this unit carried many red flags with ears of wheat and hammers, which were their military flags. The banner was surrounded by a large number of mage troops, countless barbarian soldiers, and flame elves that were burning with flames and could explode at any moment. Above the battle flag, there was an undead army that covered the sky, and a large number of balloon soldiers were still mixed in, and twenty flying machines were lined up in a row, which was on the strongest side of this team.
In the center of the team, there is a special chariot, the ice bear pulls this shining chariot, and on the top of this huge and luxurious chariot, there are three ice elves, they are playing on the roof, and they have no intention of entering the battlefield at all. In this particular car sat the two heads of the Federal Republic and a terrifying mage, whose purpose was to witness the complete destruction of the kingdom.
And on the opposite side of this huge army is the last army of the Tada Kingdom led by the Duke. They had just repelled the Federation's leading forces an hour earlier, killing hundreds of undead and hundreds of soldiers, something that the previous main army of the Tada Kingdom had a hard time doing, and they, more than 10,000 defeated troops and militias who had been temporarily drawn into the battlefield, achieved this result, but also paid more than 2,000 casualties.
They have no air force, no reserves, no magicians above the official level, no large weapons, even the most ordinary cavalry only a few hundred people, and even the battle flag is broken, and they do not have any advantages that the other side has. All they can rely on is courage and faith. Unfortunately, these two alone were not enough to bring them victory.
Looking at the tired but still holding on to the line behind him, the duke's hands trembled a few times, he thought for a while, and finally rode to the front of the line, facing these warriors who were already determined to die.
He looked around, clearing his dry throat, tears glistening in his cloudy eyes.
"Brothers, we have no way back, and behind us is the last remaining land of this country. Our enemies are a hundred times stronger than us, and perhaps when we chose to be their enemies, we were already on the side of death. But I believe that those who stand here today, fighting side by side with us, will not retreat, because what we are protecting is not this doomed country, nor is it the so-called honor. We are all moving forward on the path of pain, we are not grateful for the world, but we do not regret leaving. Because we are on the path of salvation, all we seek is inner peace and contentment. And today, we will exchange our lives for the glory of this last moment, and after this war, we will live without regrets! ”
Saying this, the duke choked a few times, but still resolutely pulled out the sword that the king had given him, and shouted with all his might.
"For the kingdom of Tada, for our glory!"
"For the sake of glory, for the sake of the duke!"
All the soldiers raised their weapons, and their bodies began to lean forward.
"Charge!"
The duke roared with all his might, turned his horse's head, and led this army that was not afraid of death, and resolutely rushed towards the opponent's large and neat formation.
"Cavalry, sprint!"
At the sound of the duke's roar, hundreds of poorly equipped knights all raised their weapons and rushed towards each other's weakest spots. They are not afraid of death, but they are not here to die, but only the fiercest battles can make these warriors sublimated.
The infantry pulled out of the line, the soldiers with shields rushed to the front, they tried their best to form a complete phalanx, and rushed towards the most conspicuous position of the opponent, that is, the ice crystal carriage that was most likely to garrison the commander, their strength was weak, their equipment was also poor, but they had the courage of barbarians, even those strong in the tribal world, they had to maintain respect in front of these warriors. According to the barbarians, bravery is also a virtue.
In fact, as long as Wang Shengzhe is willing, he can completely let the ice mage release a spell, under this powerful magic attack, it will be covered with ice and snow within five kilometers, as long as he is willing, those troops with low strength and no magic protection will turn into thousands of ice sculptures in the blink of an eye, plus some other spells mastered by Li Renjie, they can end the entire battle in three minutes, and there will be no damage in the slightest.
But he didn't choose to do it, maybe he didn't care about the ideals and life and death of this army, but this kind of courage can infect this man who is already intoxicated with power. Li Renjie wanted to give them a chance, but the Ice Mage was smiling and silent...
So there were no spells unleashed, no roar of gunpowder, only the furious charge of the huge army, and the incessant roar of countless undead in the sky.
The two forces rushed together, they were brave men from two worlds, and at this moment, they were really fighting heartily. Any rash or merciless behavior would be a great disrespect to the opponent, and only a true warrior can participate in this real battle.
The mighty barbarian brave wielded his sword and slashed the cavalry that rushed in front of him directly under his horse, while the infantry who followed closely also rushed forward and plunged their spears into the chest of the barbarian brave. He did not succeed, and a sword was inserted into his abdomen, but it was then that he slashed the skin of the barbarian warrior with his dagger, and blood gushed from it. The barbarian bravely finished off the opponent, but he did not feel unhappy because of the injury, on the contrary, in the thick killing intent of the other party, he felt a strong fighting intent that had not been able to appear in this world.
The archers, musketeers, and mages, as well as all ranged units, watched the battle unfold with no intention of intervening. Their ranged firepower is so dense that they can take out most of their soldiers with ferocious firepower if they want to, and they are humble and unarmoured, like a target. But for this kind of battle between warriors, they also chose respect.
Wang Shengzhe waited like this, listening to the shouts and killings outside. He waited from noon until it was nearly dusk when he heard the shouts of his soldiers announcing victory. Unlike in the past, this time there were only three cheers, and then they stopped.
Wang Shengzhe stepped out of the carriage and saw his knights, covered in blood and silent. And less than a hundred meters away from the carriage, a dying war horse was lying there, panting helplessly. And next to the horse, lay an elderly knight, one of his arms had been broken, his body was covered with wounds, and his armor had been stained red with blood. The banner that symbolized royal power was lying on the ground with the duke at this time, and the original ornate banner and decoration were now only a little cloth. Perhaps the Duke tried to erect it with his last strength before he died, but in the end he failed.
"They're all brave."
The Ice Mage stepped out of the carriage and whispered to Wang Shengzhe.
"I just hope there won't be a second time in this situation."
Wang Shengzhe walked into the carriage expressionlessly, but everyone around him could see that his heart had fluctuated.
The Ice Mage showed a rare smile and stretched out his right hand, and a white light bloomed in his palm.
Ice and snow enveloped the area in the blink of an eye, and the warriors who died in battle did not have to worry about their bodies being eaten or rotted by wild beasts, because the ice crystals had become their coffins of peace.
......................
A few days later, when passers-by and relatives and friends who had collected the bodies of the dead warriors arrived on the land, they found the small tomb covered with frost forever, and saw the stele made of ice and rock. On the stele, a few sentences were engraved in several mainstream characters of the mainland.
"Resting here is Rukeman Sher, Duke of Tada, uncrowned king, the last defender of the Old Kingdom. All the Tada people must lay down their identity and pride at his grave, because before you is a true hero, the last hero of that era. ”
