Shortly after the end of this battle, in the territory of Apomato.

"General Kaisel, congratulations on your victory!"

Hilario, who had not been seen for a long time, greeted Kaiser's return at the entrance to the border gate. Even though it has been half a year since he escaped from Noki, he still doesn't have many close peers in the upper echelons of Apomato, and Keisel is one of the few people he can really talk to.

"Oh, it's General Hilario!" Kaizer quickly dismounted and walked side by side with Hilario towards the city.

"General Kaiser, all the dragons you brought with you are dead!"

"Well, of course. When I first had the idea, I didn't think I'd let them come back. ”

Hilario's eyes still flashed with gloom.

"Why, still sad about your dragon?" said Kaisel, with some teasing.

Hilario didn't deliberately avoid it, and said with some emotion: "After all, these dragons have been following me for so long. Although they are now the combat power of the Apomato Imperial Army, after all, the previous feelings are still there, and now that they are dead on the battlefield, there are no bones left, so I am naturally a little lonely in my heart. ”

"Haha, General Hilario still has a lot of thoughts on his dragon! He's an emotional man!" Kaisel patted Hilario on the shoulder, "However, a big husband can't be sentimental when he does things." When it's time to let go, don't hesitate to let go. What do you think, General Hilario?"

Hilario nodded, "What's going on with Nicholas's side?"

"His thousand dragon knights are all finished. ”

Hilario looked at Kaisel in some surprise, he didn't expect that the experienced Nicholas would actually lose an entire dragon knight regiment in this battle. However, Hilario also found that in the face of such a good result, Kessel's face did not seem to be very happy.

"It's a pity. Originally, Nicholas would never have thought about the dragon blowing itself up. After all, with so many dragons blowing themselves up together, our losses will be great, and there has never been such a thing in military history. I wanted to have a surprise. But the Northern Legion only sent a thousand dragons to the battle in Neo City, where Nicholas was located. In fact, no matter how many dragons he sends, with the power of our dragon's self-detonation, it can be wiped out.

What pains me is that Nicholas's men, the commander of the Dragon Knights Legion led by him, and his dragon knights are the kind of Predators who are not afraid of death. The all-out flanking attack and the continuous self-explosion did not trap them, but they broke through alive, and when they were dying, they did not forget to take the dragon with them, caught up with our troops, and chose to self-detonate in our crowd!"

"That man's name is Adamx, and even though I've become enemies with Noki, I'll always give Adamx a high rating. Hilario said.

Kessel quickly recovered from the unhappiness just now, and began to joke again: "Sometimes I really doubt General Hilario's motives for your refuge, how can you be willing to leave such a hot-blooded legion?"

"Personally, it's just a different idea. I have been fighting in the Northern Army for more than ten years, and even if I was promoted, I still stayed on the remote and boring border in the north, at most I lived in a more spacious house and had more soldiers under my command. ”

"Haha, I'm just joking with the general, how can I not believe the general's character?" explained Keisel.

"Thank you General Kaisel for your understanding. Hilario sighed.

"General Hilario doesn't need to sigh. The honorable King of Vetut still believes in you. You see you're pretty good now, on the one hand, you're in charge of the training of our Dragon Knight Legion, and you're in an important position, and on the other hand, you're not entangled in business, you can eat, drink and have fun to your heart's content, and to be honest, even I envy you!"

Hilario smiled awkwardly and said, "In the future, I still have to ask the general to say a few more good words for me in front of the respected King Vetut." ”

The two chatted about something else, until they separated.

"Hey, given me such an idle job, and took all my dragons away, and let these dragons blow themselves up, it seems that King Vetut still doesn't trust me completely!" said Hilario to himself.

Keisel returned to a hotel and entered his room when there was a knock on the door.

"General, that's what Hilario said after you left. A man dressed as a hunter repeated Hilario's last words.

"Very well, you go down first! ”

After the Orion went down, Keisel said to himself: "It seems that Hilario is really ready to serve the Empire." Haha, with his ability and experience in dragon control, it will not be of little help to us Abomato! Moreover, a new round of rebellion against the senior generals of the Northern Army is already secretly underway, and if we can recruit another group of capable generals at that time, breaking through the border line of the Nuoqi Empire will be just around the corner!"

The sunset was like blood, and it was shockingly red. Vast expanses of fiery red clouds tilt against the sky, and then spread out in a lonely posture, even if they are high above, they can clearly feel the loneliness and loneliness of dusk.

This is especially true at this time of the year.

A stone monument, only three or four meters high, or rather a stone is more suitable, and remains as natural as ever without careful carving, alone on a mound of earth.

The stele is a monument to commemorate the soldiers of the Noqi Empire who died in this battle, and the evening sun shines on it, although it is lonely and even very inconspicuous, but in the hearts of the living soldiers, there is no doubt that a monument has been erected here.

Another monument.

Lynsey sat in front of the new grave with his uncle Nicholas, who had a scruffy beard and haggard eyes, and poured a glass of wine on the new soil, and muttered to himself, "Brothers, go all the way." ”

Lin Xi looked at it in a daze, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart. The image of the nine-member team sacrificing their lives for their country brought back memories for him.

"Come, Linsy, take a couple of sips with your uncle. Nicholas handed over a wine glass, but he poured it himself and drank it down, as if it were not a strong drink, but a wisp of worry that passed through his throat. "The dead are dead forever, but the living will remember them, even if they can't return to their roots, but what does it matter? We who are alive should be braver, Lynsey, are you right about what your uncle said?"

"Hmm. Lynsey sat down and said solemnly, spilling the first glass of wine around the new soil in front of him.

"The military camp is the starting point of another beginning of their lives, and it is also the ultimate destination of life, I know that as a soldier, I must have long regarded life and death very lightly, and I also thought that one day I would die on the battlefield, and I would not even be able to do the horse leather shroud, and the dead body could only stay in the field forever and could not return to my hometown, but, hey, look at the brothers who sleep here, my heart is still not good. One moment they were still alive and full of fighting spirit, but the next moment they died tragically for the country, and they could not even save their intact bodies, Lin Xi, do you know what these people were thinking about in the moment before they died? They did not miss their old and frail parents at home, the gentle and virtuous wives who silently shouldered the burden of the family, the babies who were waiting to be fed, nor did they lament the injustice of fate and die before they could get ahead in the barracks, what they thought of was that they must not watch the enemy leave cheaply! Even if they die, they will have to put another cushion on their backs!

Nicholas looked excited, his eyes glinting with a cloudy look just a moment ago, but Lynsey knew that it was just another way to express more sadness.

"This is what the dead Adams and the others did, this is the demeanor of our Northern Legion soldiers, this is the best way for soldiers to fulfill their oaths!

After a long time, Nicholas continued: "Linsey, although the army is only a temporary stop for you, you must be worthy of the word soldier when you put on your military uniform and be a soldier for a day! In just a few months, you have also participated in several battles, and you must have some first-hand experience of battlefield fighting, and I believe that the life of the army will be of great help to your growth. In the future, in the barracks, Linsey, you will experience more, you will witness the fall of your comrades, and even your own life will be threatened, but at that time, you have to think about what the soldier represents, and I believe you will make the same choice as other soldiers. ”

Lynsey just nodded and didn't say anything. In his heart, Lynsey has already seen himself as a soldier, and what he does is not only to temper himself in the furnace of the army, but also out of the duty of a soldier.

Neither Lyncy nor Nicholas could have imagined that his military life would end soon because of the turn of events.
