When the first rays of sunlight shone on the boulder gate, the watchtowers on either side of the stone gate sounded with a low horn sound. The muffled sound wave pierced through the entire giant gate, and those who came for the first time must have thought that the war had begun, but in fact it was just a signal for early morning drills......

The soldiers had passed their armor in the barracks before dawn, and when they heard the horn, the soldiers, densely packed like ants, walked out of the low houses one after another and walked to a training ground behind the giant gate to assemble.

It is said that the air is fresh in the morning, and people's brains are clearest at this time. I don't know what these ordinary soldiers like cannon fodder can realize in this cold breeze mixed with cold air, in addition to exercising......

As a general, Temu Takashi got up earlier than the soldiers. Before dawn, he was busy with the training ground with his miscellaneous soldiers, who would carefully check the situation in each area and solve all problems before the soldiers trained. In fact, the general does not have to participate in these trivial tasks, but he feels that only by reaching the bottom in this way can he truly understand the feelings of the soldiers.

Only 10,000 soldiers were gathered on the training ground, and the 5,000 soldiers who had been reinforced heard the sound of the horn and looked at it, and found that it was only after training that they fell asleep again. Not caring about the new soldiers, General Tie put on his armor after finishing his work, took out a wooden stick as thick as the waist of an ordinary soldier and waved it. There is no instructor in the whole field, everyone trains themselves, and if they are tired, they can sit on the ground and rest at will, this training method is really free and easy.

Halleste and Rhein were standing on the balcony of La Niña's room on the fourth floor of the castle, just in time for the view.

When they heard the horn, they got up alertly from the table where they had slept on their stomachs all night, and quickly called La Niña, who had slept soundly on the bed. But the first thing La Niña did when she got up was to throw the two of them on the balcony.

"Ah, I'm so hungry, these soldiers should go to breakfast after training...... Why don't we get in on it now and stutter later? "Rhine hadn't eaten for a whole day and a night, and his eyes were dizzy with hunger.

"I think it's okay, it's okay to rely on the woman in the room to eat without face, the key is that it's not reliable." Rhine felt that with La Niña, he would probably run out of food again......

After the two of them reached an agreement, they jumped directly from the balcony on the fourth floor and ran straight to the training ground.

......

......

"Hey, you two can come in, I've already changed my clothes." La Niña changed her clothes and dressed up in front of the crystal mirror before calling out to the balcony. Like her sluggishness, the balconies responded to her with the sluggish mountain breeze blowing from the valley......

"If you don't come in, I'll eat all the breakfast I just delivered?" Hearing no movement, La Niña shouted again, like a mother calling her bedridden child to get up for breakfast. But there was still no movement on the balcony at this time......

At this time, the grumpy mother was about to push open the door and lift the quilt and start beating the little friend, La Nina walked to the balcony and pushed the mallet door open...... I just happened to see two small shadows running downstairs towards the training ground......

"There's something wrong with the two heads, you haven't eaten all day and still have the strength to go to the training ground?" La Nina wasn't their mother, and she wouldn't run down to call them back for dinner, but after glancing at the two little shadows, she went back to her room to enjoy the luxurious breakfast brought by the maid.

The two teenagers had been wandering around since they arrived at the training ground, waiting for them to finish the exercise.

When they were bored, they looked at the people training on the field, some played with big stone locks, some practiced swords, and of course, some had not woken up and sat on the ground and wandered into the world.

It's realistic, just like the real thing, this group of people who are about to disappear. No, it was true before it disappeared.

"Hey! The two little brothers are new here, right? Young people can't just watch sports and sports, I think these two little stone mallets are very suitable for you, come one person, I'll teach you how to play! While the two teenagers were watching, a middle-aged uncle suddenly came out of the back, holding two mallets that had just been taken out of Hyogo.

Before the two teenagers could say anything, one of them had an extra gavel in his hand...... This mallet is actually an agricultural tool, usually used to pound wheat puree, and weighs about twice as much as the usual heavy sword.

"Come, follow my movements, grab the mallet with both hands and swing it." The middle-aged man walked up to the two teenagers, drew a large sword, and swung it in front of the two teenagers.

"That...... Uncle, we're just handymen, not soldiers......" Rhine complained speechlessly, he didn't have much energy to play with this thing now.

"Ahh The Harrest next to it is different, after shaking the mallet twice, it feels good in the hand, and the weight is just right. So I had fun on the side.

Rhine admired Hallest's physical strength while belittling his IQ, and finally practiced with the uncle.

"Even the two of you have to train well, and when you reach adulthood, we will be old, and of course, we may die. When the time comes, this pass will depend on you! "The middle-aged man was sweating profusely after a set, and he could see that he was working very hard.

As cruel as it sounds, it's a fact, the last generation is dead, and it's time for their generation.

"But, we don't have the courage to go to war, uncle, aren't you afraid of those monsters at all? Aren't you afraid of death? Harrestle suddenly wanted to know what kind of consciousness these soldiers had in order to send them to death, so he told a little lie.

"Uh...... We have quite a lot of emotions for the monsters outside, and we are not only afraid, but also hated, and admired. The middle-aged man laughed.

"I can understand fear and hatred, but what about admiration?" Rhine suddenly shook his heart when he heard "admiration". Maybe they're missing something important.

"Hmm...... I'm stupid and not good at expressing myself, so I'll tell you a story. The middle-aged man scratched his head.

"Please!" Harrest, too, seemed to be what made this soldier feel admiration for the killing demons outside.

"It's a bit of a long story, let's go sit next to it." The middle-aged man said as he walked over to the bench next to him and sat down. Rhine and Hallrest followed.

"Actually, I have a son, he is a little older than you, he was just an adult and went to the battlefield of this giant gate, and then he never grew up, you know what it means, right? He's dead. He was caught and killed by the demons when he went out to investigate the movements of the demons. My son has been a scout since he was a soldier, and he has never killed a demon, but he died under the sword of the demon, do you say I hate it! When it comes to the death of his son, the middle-aged man has no sad expression at all, I don't know if it is too long, too light, or too much experience, used to it.

"Later, the survivors who inquired about the information fled back and reported the location of the demons, and General Tie took us to take revenge. Our 5,000 cavalry rushed over and surrounded those hundreds of demons, in fact, demons also have emotions, but these ordinary people don't know. Those hundreds of demons know that they are not our opponents, guess what they did? They actually knelt down and begged us to let them go...... Out of hatred, of course we won't let them go, we killed all those demons who surrendered, and left no one behind! Later, when we returned to the pass, the demons arrived one after another, and our five thousand cavalry were surrounded by more demons. Isn't that normal hahaha, but that time was a bit abnormal...... Those demons didn't attack us, but forced us to surrender! Surrender to the demons? Is it possible? Of course, General Iron will not agree! It is not completely impossible for us five thousand knights to break through the encirclement of the demons, so we plunged into the weakest point of the demons like a sword. It seems that we really underestimate the demons, and the demons have died a lot under our assault, but we still haven't succeeded in breaking through. And the demons have died a lot of their comrades, but they still have no intention of attacking us. I'll go! At that time, I wondered if this group of demons was sick? We were surrounded for a long time until the closed rescue team arrived. The middle-aged man said that his mouth was dry, but he looked around and saw that there was no water to drink, so he wiped his saliva and continued.

"We returned to the pass, and looked at the direction of the encirclement in the distance from the pass, and at this time, the people who were surrounded became the group of demons who had just surrounded us. After we broke through; Another group of demons arrived, and those demons did not chase us, but surrounded the group of demons who had not attacked us just now. This phenomenon is so abnormal that it has never happened before! Later, we analyzed the reasons together, and guess why? The middle-aged man suddenly stopped talking, but asked.

"Isn't this simple, those demons didn't attack you after surrounding you, and they were blamed by their superiors." Rhine spread his hands, he couldn't think of any other answer.

"True, but why didn't they attack us again?" The middle-aged man then asked.

"Are they trying to get you to surrender?" Hallrest replied.

"Well, I just said this, they just want us to surrender, so why do they want us to surrender?" The middle-aged man asked again.

"They want to take you back to work as coolies? Or do you want to keep you and eat slowly? Hallrest guessed.

"This may be too difficult for you to understand, I'll just tell you directly, the reason they asked us to surrender was to let us go, but we had to surrender before we could leave." The middle-aged man said this impossible thing seriously.

"How is that possible? It's just your imagination, isn't it? Rhine was not convinced at all.

"It's our imagination, but we believe in it." The middle-aged man looked a little heavy.

"Can you tell us why you have this assumption?" Harrester couldn't accept the answer.

"Have you ever seen the demons play? Have you ever seen the demon laugh? Have you ever seen the joy of the whole clan when a little demon was born? Hehe, we've seen all of that, but maybe we've seen it...... Our assumptions stem from our decades of experience in fighting demons, and suddenly one day, we feel that demons are very similar to us. Whether we go to fight the demons, or the demons come to fight us, it is all with feelings. Or maybe we don't want to fight the demons at all, and the demons don't want to fight us at all, they're all forced. Speaking of which, aren't the people above who really decide the war? "The middle-aged man looks a little lonely.

"Do you hate General Iron?" Rhein asked.

"Of course we don't hate him, hahaha, don't treat that guy as a general, that guy is actually the same as us, just an ordinary soldier!" Speaking of Temulon, the middle-aged man laughed again, who hasn't been forced? Temulon said that he was a general, but in fact, he had no power at all at this pass, and no matter what orders were issued from above...... Although Temuron had no strength, he loved the gate and the people above it, and everyone knew it.

Rheinland: "......"

Hallest: "......"

"When those demons came to die, they had the same consciousness as when we went to die, how could we not have a trace of admiration for them......" After the middle-aged man finished telling the story, he drew his heavy sword and walked to the field to continue training.

For the first time, Rhine and Halleste had a strange emotion for the demons, and it was also the first time that they had a resistance to war. They wondered who should bury the soldiers who died in battle, who was responsible for the war, and whether every soldier had such an awareness, if so...... That's too cruel, isn't it?
