"I'm sorry sir, but I was just a farmer in a village near Stormwind before I joined the army, yes......www.biquge.info I'm very happy to be able to join the army, I am excited about the salary of one gold and this beautiful armor, although it is a bit too heavy......"

"I must thank His Excellency Leo and all the Lords, the collective life in the army has changed me a lot, I understand what loyalty is and what honor is, and I understand who brought the beautiful and prosperous life I have today, but ...... My lord, what exactly does it mean to be a champion...... Hehe...... You know, before I joined the army, I was just a farmer, and literacy is a privilege reserved for nobles and knights......"

"Damn bunnies, you seem to me to be a bunch of trash, you know, trash! Even those cunning Stormwing crossbowmen are a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than you! I'm really unlucky, you know, very unlucky, because for the next three months I'm going to be your direct commander for the band of garbage, training you to whip you until one day, you'll be able to barely become a qualified champion swordsman, remember my name trash! My name is Hendrik, Hendrik Maru! ”

"Congratulations to you bunny cubs, now you can finally stop being called trash, line up, from now on this armor and weapons that represent honor and responsibility will accompany you for life, welcome to officially join the champion swordsman legion, cheer to heart's content!"

"What is a champion? …… A long time ago, when I was a recruit, I asked my commander the same question, the champion is the winner, the winner of the highest honor, we hate defeat, we will never fail, these two words represent the belief that it is our soul and totem, and also represent the invincible spirit of the champion swordsman who will never back down! ……”

"Yes...... Children, we are about to go to the battlefield, this time the enemy is different, we are almost facing half of the empire's army, I heard the adults say, there are hundreds of nobles and lords who participated in the conquest of us, scared? I don't want to deceive you, I am afraid, knowing that even I have never experienced such a disparity in war...... Why should you go? Well, well, except for the sake of His Highness...... And it's to defend our reputation of never failing! What are we? We are the champions, we ...... It's a champion!! ”

**********************

"Steady, kill!"

Retracting the shield, revealing the only trace of space, under the roar of Hendrik Maru, all the champion swordsmen around him swung their shields vigorously again, and the enemies who rushed up excitedly were like sandbags that were thrown away, and the bones and tendons were broken and the blood from the mouth and nose was spurted back at a faster speed, without the command of anyone, and the good training habits allowed the champion swordsmen who swung the heavy blows to follow Hendrik to step forward with a muffled voice, and the long swords in their hands stabbed out almost at the same time......

"Huh~Huh~Huh~"

Hendrik's lungs erupted like a bellows, and the heat made him tilt his head and open his mouth to suck a few mouthfuls of rainwater, the cold touch made him feel a little better, and after clearing the circle of enemies nearby, Hendrik and his team were given a rare but brief rest

Tapping the edge of the pitted shield with a long sword full of jagged chips, Hendrik Maru, as the leader of the squad, dragged his tired spirit and forced him to look around, and the corpses of dozens of enemies around him nodded with satisfaction, but seeing the only three companions left behind him, the little excitement he had before disappeared in an instant......

You must know that Hendrik is a squad leader, and his subordinates normally have as many as 10 people, and as a veteran, he has experienced every war of Leo, even including the battle in which Grey Castle shook the enemy knights before, and the sacrifice has never been so tragic, if according to the regulations, even he has only 4 people left in this squad has reached the verge of removal and retreat and repair

Looking up at his colleagues who were still holding out in small groups that had been cut off by the enemy not far away, Hendrik held his shield in both hands and did not look back at the three men behind him who were also in bad condition

"Do you have the strength, or the bunnies...... Are there any cowards and death-fearing ghosts here? ”

"Come on, this isn't a training ground, you're no longer a training officer, and you can't scare us now...... You say yes, right? Hey! ”

"That's it, it wasn't enough to train us as monkeys at the beginning, what kind of shelf are you putting up at this time, if you want me to say, if you can't hold on, go back to rest and rest!"

"Don't say it, I see that the leader's hands are shaking, I don't know if I'm tired or scared, it seems that people are old and their endurance is not good! Hey! ”

"Fart, Lao Tzu is angry with you, the little rabbit cubs have hard wings, right, damn if you can go back alive this time, wait for Lao Tzu to practice!"

Turning his head, the angry Hendrik was ready to assert his majesty with wide eyes, but to his surprise, he was greeted by six pairs of calm and even smiling eyes...... Calm with the consciousness of death...... Although he knew that it was a violation of military regulations to lift the mask armor on the battlefield without authorization, he couldn't say a word from all this in front of him

"You...... You ......"

After choking a few words, Hendrick simply lifted his visor, took a few breaths of cold and humid air, and laughed heartily and pretending to be calm

"You bastards seem to be in good spirits, since you still have the strength, let's kill them with Lao Tzu!"

"No problem, them! Haha"

The sound of noisy footsteps came from all sides again, and the enemy, who had almost more than a hundred people, seemed to have discovered the military merits of these champion swordsmen, and they gathered around them from all directions, and the chaotic armor and weapons could not hide the beastly excitement on their faces

"Get ready to fight! Shield! ”

Without any stunned and cowardly, Hendrik put away his smile and roared hoarsely, before the words fell, three of his subordinates had already stepped forward to stand side by side with him, and the shields that could no longer be seen on all sides were raised firmly and high again, and his body lunged forward, and Hendrik roared wildly with the biggest voice in his life

"Never back down! We are the champions! ”

"Never back down! We are the champions! ”

"Never back down! We are the champions! ”

"Never back down! We are the champions! ”

"Kill !!"

In the late autumn and early winter of 1177 in the continental calendar, Hendrik Maru, once an ignorant farmer, and now an ordinary champion swordsman captain, was not a nobleman, not a knight, without a distinguished resume, nor with extraordinary intelligence and bravery, but laughed, cried, and fell in love like most ordinary people......

The difference is that he is a soldier, a glorious warrior, he perfectly fulfilled his duty as a warrior, defended the name of the champion with his life, fulfilled the oath he took when he enlisted, until death came, Hendrik and the only three remaining companions by his side did not take a step back, and near their corpses, more than fifty enemy corpses were found when they cleaned up the battlefield after the battle!

Perhaps many years later, this group of ordinary soldiers will not appear in any history books, except for their relatives who will remember and miss them, and even the bards who pay attention to the nobles and knights will not bother to write poems for them, but is history not made up of thousands of such little people?

We are the champions! That's how it is!
