Chapter Thirty-Six: Battle! War! War!
"When the morale of one side is like a divine help, usually their opponent will not be able to resist!"
-- Xenophon
There is no grand foreshadowing in the movie, and there is no bloody and picturesque scenery of the remnant sun, but Leo can only feel his trembling on the ordinary battlefield, his body is a little stiff, and his numb fingertips can hardly feel the existence, Leo understands that this is the process of over-emotional adrenaline secretion, and this formation is already shocking for ordinary people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, fortunately, the armor on his body and the long sword at his waist brought Leo some sense of security, watching the flag representing the Duke of White Moon among the enemies coming from the shop slowly appeared, Leo slapped his cheeks a few times, and greeted the baron beside him, "Come on, my brother, according to the rules, I think we need to go and say hello to the Duke first." ”
Anyway, accompanied by several attendants with the banners of the two families, Leo and Baron Leicester rushed down the hill and rushed towards the center of the battlefield, at the same time, a few people from the opposing camp also rode out, which was a habit that made Leo speechless, when the nobles were on a conquest, the leaders of both sides had to meet each other before the war, on the one hand, they accused each other of their mistakes, explained their reasons for the justice of the war, and on the other hand, the superior side used the last time to persuade them to surrender.
As the leaders of the two sides slowly approached, Leo and the Duke stopped at the same time at the place where the two horses were separated from each other in the center, and the horses slowly turned around, Leo and the Duke were looking at each other deeply, for the Duke, Leo was not too surprised, the age of more than 50 years old was distorted by the personality of the appearance also with a vicious and hideous atmosphere, but the Duke of Orlando was a little surprised by Leo's age, he didn't expect his opponent to be so young.
After a brief silence, the Duke of Orlando was the first to speak, "Despicable and poor outsider, there are only two ways left for you in front of our army, one is to admit your ridiculous lies, renounce your title, and then hand over all your property that you have been deceived by despicable means, and submit to the imperial laws and the judgment of the House of Lords. ”
"What's the other one? Hand over my city? Hand over my people and army? Hand over all the private property that belongs to me? And then prostrate in front of you like a dog, speaking insincere sycophants? Like the group of people behind you? Now that he had torn his face, Leo no longer pretended to be polite, and interrupted the duke's words in an extremely disdainful tone.
The duke, who had not heard anyone dare to speak like this in front of him for many years, his neatly trimmed beard was angry, his right hand clutched the hilt of the sword and took a few deep breaths, and he took two steps forward, glared at his eyes and roared in a low voice, "Damn poor worm, don't challenge my patience *** out all your army and property, I swear by my honor that I can let you live decently, otherwise the army behind me that is enough to crush everything will let you know what is the respect for the superior!" ”
Waving his hand to dispel the duke's lethal breath, Leo watched the duke who was completely enraged and gradually calmed down, without any expression, and glanced at the other party lightly, "Very good, I'm waiting for you in front of my army, don't let me down, Aurado Roland Christian, Duke Jackal!" "Anyway, he didn't stop with the baron, he didn't care about leaving his back to the duke and his party, and rode back to his camp, Leo was not at all worried about the attack from behind, and those who sneak up on him in this era will lose all their honor.
"Good brother, haha, it's been a long time since I've seen this dead old man so deflated!" The big-hearted baron immediately laughed beside him
"Who made his mouth stink, obviously he was forcibly seized and said so righteously." Leo, who had returned to the front of his array, shrugged his shoulders and replied, but the frowning brow meant that his mood was not as relaxed as he appeared, without him, the duke's huge military appearance made him and the baron's soldiers, except for the punishment knights, there were some fearful commotions, and the originally tight formation was also loosened a little, Leo understood that he needed to do something at this time.
Pulling out the paladin sword at his waist and taking off the shield on his back, Leo slowly moved his mount under his crotch to walk in front of the soldiers, and under the restless gaze of his pale faces, Leo yelled, "I once heard a rather pessimistic saying, 'Only the dead can see the end of war'. ”
First of all, a headless and brainless word, ignoring the surprised expressions of the people around him, Leo drove Killy to run faster and faster in front of the formation, and his voice became even higher, "I, I don't approve of these, my soldiers, I'm like you, I pray for peace all the time, and I don't want any life to wither in front of me, but!! ”
Leo's voice suddenly raised and even sharpened, "There are some people who don't think so, they rely on their own swords, they rely on their natural aristocratic status, they want to use violence and illegal means to easily take possession of our everything, and they want to us from above, today they may only need my city, my gold, tomorrow their greedy appetite will take away the bread on which you live, take possession of your wives and children, tell me, soldiers, the peace that you beg for, Can you accept it? ”
"Can't... No, I can't! "Thinking of the life that has changed since the reign of Leo, thinking of the table where there is still no food to the occasional meat table, thinking of the land that belongs to them for free, and the money bags that are gradually bulging around their waists, some soldiers have whispered their answers, with the present life, these soldiers who were mostly farmers and homeless people before, who wants to go back to the poor and undignified life before.
At this time, Leo, who was running back and forth in front of the formation, did not end his words: "Yes, the enemy has far more than us, I'm sorry, maybe many people will lose their lives today, including me." Leo's voice gradually deepened, and all the soldiers, including the baron's command, were already listening carefully to Leo's speech at this time.
After a slight pause to catch his breath, Leo continued to roar, "But what does the number represent, look at the armor of your knights, the sharp swords and strong shields in your hands, think of the cruel training you have received all these times, and look at the other side, and tell me out loud, soldiers, are you so timid as to fear a group of farmers who have just taken up arms?" ”
The soldiers, whose emotions had already been provoked by Leo, did not disappoint him this time, and shouted loudly in a neat voice, "Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Unafraid! More agitated soldiers pounded their shields with their weapons, and as more and more people joined, the sound finally changed from noisy to one.
Looking at the high morale of his subordinates, Leo decided to add another strength to this flame, and with the swing of the long sword in his hand, after the soldiers gradually quieted down, Leo recited the classic line of the year: "Everyone dies, but not everyone has ever really lived!" Leo said in a low, somewhat sad tone.
As the voice of the voice changed from low to high, "Yes, fight, you may die." Run away, and you will live, at least for a while. But will you trade all the years from now on for one chance, only one chance, to tell our enemies here that they may take our lives, but they will never take away what belongs to us! ”
This passage, which had inspired countless people, was slightly modified by Leo and roared out, deeply infected, and the soldiers, who had almost entered a state of madness, frantically beat their shields and armor, and their mouths uttered "Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! With a frantic roar, even the Knights of Punishment in the distance had a rare commotion stimulated by Leo's words.
Turning his head, Leo, who was also in a state of excitement, pointed the long sword in his hand at the opponent's military formation, and finally shouted in a hoarse voice, "I will fight with you, face death without fear, this battle ~~~~~ we will win!! ”
As Leo's last sentence fell, Finn, Anthony, and Case, who had long been unable to hold back, took the lead in buckling their armor, "For honor!" In a thunderous roar, 80 Punishment Knights and 20 Swan Knights rushed towards the enemy line with explosive momentum, and their sharp rifles faced the enemy knights who were also rushing at high speed, and the battle was about to break out......
