"Chapter 232: Ares"
It can be seen that the purity of the infant is only the immaturity of the body, not the innocence of the heart. I have seen and experienced jealousy in children: they can't speak, they just look dead and staring at the children they are breastfeeding.
- Augustine (Roman Empire Catholic thinker, saint and teacher)
The story begins with a child who grew up in the border area of the Etruscan province of the Roman Republic; He has parents and sisters who love him, and he also has a family that is not rich but warm. His parents were both village physicians and respected life-savers. His dream is to become a respected physician with his sister in the future.
However, such a peaceful and beautiful life was soon shattered; A sudden war changed all that. The invaders were Gallic barbarians from the north, who rushed into the village bare-chested, with colorful liquids on their faces and sharp swords; All the men who resisted were killed by them, and the women could not escape the fate of ****.
The child's parents were just ordinary doctors, and they didn't even have the ability to resist; When these savage Gauls tried to assault his mother, his father, despite his own helplessness, picked up the kitchen knife and rushed at the barbaric Gallic soldier. The Gallic soldiers, who were caught off guard, were slashed in the back, which also provoked his bloodlust and tyranny.
When the Gallic soldier raised his butcher's knife, the once-happy family of four was shattered; The child's parents were killed on the spot, and his sister was also killed by this tyrannical Gallic soldier, only he escaped by hiding his father in the rice jar of the family.
No one can imagine this child witnessing the killing of his parents in a rice bowl. the shadow of my sister being killed after being ****; No one could understand his deep hatred for the Gallic barbarians. After the Gallic barbarians sacked the village. They retreated under the threat of the Roman army that had arrived in a hurry; And this once peaceful village is left with only this child.
Originally. The commanders of the Roman army took pity on the boy and wanted to take him back and raise him as a man; However, he refused the general's kindness because of the belated arrival of the Roman army. Then, he began to embark on his own path of revenge; He was just seven years old that year, and how could a seven-year-old child get revenge without eating or drinking?
The stubborn child thus chose a stubborn path, and set out all the way north in the direction of the Gallic barbarians; Unfortunately, after only four days and three nights, this stubborn child collapsed on the south bank of the Rubicon because of hunger and cold. Thankfully, Heaven did not abandon the child; Ares, the predecessor of the Tragic Dead, happened to pass by here. And the devil sent God to save him.
No one knew why the always ruthless Ares saved the child, just as no one knew why the child followed him closely at the first sight of Ares; Although Ares saved the child, it did not mean that Ares would allow the child to follow him all the time, and he did not believe that the child could always follow him.
In this way, Ares continued to return to the headquarters of the Tragic Dead on his own, and the little boy followed Ares without saying a word; Many times, because Ares's walking speed is far from what the child can keep up with, it is often necessary for the child to trot all the way to catch up with Ares's pace.
After two days of such a follow, the child again fainted from hunger and ran on the road; This time, Ares not only rescued him again, but also gave him enough food. and directly told this child not to follow him anymore. However, such a move did not change the stubbornness of this child. He continued to follow Ares the next day.
Because the headquarters of the Dead Sorrow is actually built in a unique valley in the interior of the Alps, Ares must climb over the snow-capped mountains of the Alps to return to the headquarters of the Dead Sorrowful; It is by no means easy for an ordinary person to climb mountains and mountains like this, let alone such a seven-year-old child.
However, this child is always capable of doing things that others do not expect; He continued to follow Ares over the mountains and into the interior of the Alps! Of course, Ares at this time was not as cold to this child as he once was; Not only would he deliberately slow down on the way over the mountains, but he also made a thick bearskin coat for the child.
From the encounter on the south bank of the Rubicon to the entry into the Alps, the child followed Ares for twenty days; From entering the Alps to arriving at the headquarters of the Dead of Sorrow, the child followed Ares for thirty-five days. When Ares arrived at the headquarters of the Tragic Dead with the child, Ares officially accepted the child as his disciple.
Because the leaders of the tragic dead are all unmarried for life, the next leader will be personally selected by the previous leader; After the internal assessment of the Tragic Song Dead Soldier, he can take over the position of leader. This also means that everyone who can become a disciple of the leaders of the various divisions of the Tragic Song of Death has the qualifications to become the leader of the Tragic Song of Death.
A seven-year-old kid who had just arrived turned out to be a disciple of Ares, the head of the warhead of the most combat-ready department among the Tragic Dead, and such a thing directly became the biggest news in the headquarters of the Tragic Dead; The news didn't last a day before it was replaced by another, bigger story.
That is, early the morning of the second day after Ares took the child into his disciple, he sent the child to the most brutal and casualty camp of the Dead Warriors Headquarters of the Tragic Songs; What is Camp of the Dead? The Dead Soldier Camp is the place used to train the dead soldiers of the War Department within the Tragic Dead Soldier Organization, and it is also the training camp with the highest casualty rate among all the training camps of the Tragic Dead Soldier Organization.
In this case, perhaps no one understands the horrors of the Dead Battalion; To give an example: a normal training camp for tragic dead soldiers, training 500 tragic dead soldiers every year, of which about 100 people will die, 200 people will be eliminated as reserve members, and less than 200 people can pass; And the camp of the dead soldiers is, 500 people enter every year, at least 300 die every year, and the five-year training is over!
More crucially, the camp never accepted a seven-year-old child; However, under the direct orders of Ares, the child entered the camp of the dead soldiers. When such news was announced, everyone thought that the child's death was approaching, and there would be no future; He also forgot about Ares taking him as a disciple.
This child, who was forgotten by the Tragic Dead Soldier Headquarters, did not really die in the Dead Soldier Camp as everyone imagined, but became the dead soldier who trained the hardest and made the most rapid progress in the Dead Soldier Camp! Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye; In the past five years, this child has not only grown from seven to twelve years old, but also became the most capable dead soldier in the dead soldier camp when he is about to graduate!
Even so, Ares did not allow the child to come out of the Dead Soldier Camp, but ordered him to stay in the Dead Soldier Camp for another five years, and to use five times the amount of regular Dead Soldier training on him! At this moment, the other leaders of the tribes, who had originally planned to congratulate Ares on finding a good disciple, thought it was incredible, didn't this mean that this child was going to die?
Despite the opinions of the rest of the Dead Dead Headquarters, Ares insisted on his orders; And the kid returned to the camp of the dead again without saying a word. Then, not five years later, only three years later, the fifteen-year-old boy once again shocked the entire headquarters of the Tragic Dead; Because he actually defeated all the instructors in the camp of the dead soldiers!
Ordinary instructors aside, the chief instructor of the training camp of each Tragic Dead Soldier Headquarters is a master whose martial arts skills are no less than those of the leaders of each department; In particular, the chief instructor of the Dead Soldier Battalion is known for his cruelty and superb martial arts, but he didn't expect to be defeated at the hands of a fifteen-year-old child, this child is simply a monster!
On the same night that the whole Tragic Dead headquarters was talking about the child, Ares appeared in front of the child with a piece of information; This information is the details of the tribe of the Gallic barbarians who had bloodied this child's homeland. It was a great tribe of Gaul with a population of more than 30,000, more than 8,000 young men, and more than 3,000 standing soldiers; But it's close to the Alps.
The young man who got this information didn't say anything, and with the acquiescence of Ares, he left the headquarters of the Dead Men with all the 1,500 dead soldiers in the camp who had not yet completed their training; Along with him were all the instructors of the entire Dead Soldier Battalion, including the Chief Instructor of the Dead Soldier Battalion who was defeated by him head-on!
Such a large-scale operation could not be concealed from Hades, the leader of the Tragic Dead, and the leaders of the other tribes, but all acquiesced in this self-initiated action of Ares; Because they all want to see what kind of miracle this child can create. The boy left the headquarters of the Dead of Sorrow with 1,500 people, and a month later, only 500 of them returned to the headquarters of the Dead of Sorrow.
Everyone knows where they went this month, but not everyone knows what happened during this month; What everyone knows is that this boy led fifteen hundred dead men into a large tribe of Gallic barbarians all night. After a whole night and a day of fighting, 1,500 dead men were killed, and 800 were killed; And this Gallic tribe with a total population of 30,000 did not leave a single living mouth, all of them were slaughtered!
As they prepared to retreat, they encountered two thousand Gallic cavalry who had come to the aid of the tribe; Then they again paid the price of two hundred dead men, and completely annihilated these two thousand Gallic cavalry. At this point, the boy became a legend in the headquarters of the tragic dead; Ten years later, the previous Ares was killed in an operation, and he undoubtedly took over the warhead directly and became the current Ares!
