One Thousand Two Eighty Eight The reunion of the halfling and the agonizing waiting
"On behalf of Marshal Remako, His Majesty the God of War Shuma, and His Majesty the God of War Usos, I would like to express my strong protest to you!"
On the third day of the Battle of Heavenly Mountain, in a temporary building on a floating land on the Winsley Sky Reef, the short halfling said to the tall Red Succubus very seriously: "The text has been delivered, as the liaison representative of the 74th Legion of the Blue Covenant in the Red Alliance, I ask for the face-to-face confirmation of your counterpart!"
Because the height difference is too great, the halfling's head is lifted too hard, but he still stubbornly said: "Please don't put your hands on your knees, like talking to a child, this ...... Lady. ”
"And your hand, please don't put it on my head, thank you!"
The red succubus, who was so beautiful that it was close to evil, grinned, and twisted its tail in circles: "I don't think of you as a child, Mr. Flodo-Stonelizard. ”
"I also know about your deeds in the Holy Steps City and the Temple Mountain, and I just want to ask you for an autograph. ”
As he spoke, his hand fell on the head of the halfling, and he rubbed it like a kitten or a puppy.
As if he had won a million-dollar jackpot, the succubus said happily: "Aha, plus Commissioner Sam, it's all here!"
"Uh...... Sam Commissioner!"
Frodo was about to get angry, but when he heard the name, his body shook, and he quickly stopped the guards who had stepped forward to seek justice for the chief.
Turning his head, a chubby halfling was looking at him with a smile.
"Sam ......"
Flodo choked for a moment, the last time they saw each other was years ago.
"General ...... Stonelizard Mountain"
Sam strained his face: "Sam Lizardshan, member of the Red Union Unification Committee and representative of war affairs, confirm to you that the text of the protest has been served. and explain relevant matters to you and you at the request of your superiors. ”
Flodo was stunned, his eyes foggy.
Taking the opportunity to salute Sam and wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, Flordo smiled: "When Peake told me, I didn't believe it, even you really changed your surname to Stone Lizard Mountain." ”
Sam scratched his head and said, "The surname of our halfling is the name of the eighteenth generation of ancestors, how troublesome it is to do all kinds of registrations." ”
"Everyone has changed their surnames according to the name of their hometown, and to be honest, we are worried about whether you will think you are robbing you of your title. ”
Flordo sighed and shook his head: "The title or something, it's been history for a long time, and I didn't understand it completely until a while ago." ”
He smiled again and looked Sam up and down, "Peake is right, you're the best bastard on our Lizard Mountain team." ”
"Obediently, the committee members, they are all big names in the Red Federation. ”
Sam spread his hands: "I used to be a viscount, now I am a general, and I am still the assistant of Marshal Remaco, the spokesman of the god of war." ”
"Frodo, are you laughing at me?"
"If you want to say that the best mix, of course it's Pique, he now has tens of millions of fans, and in the old days he could open a church and become an adventurer god or something. ”
Flodo laughed and stretched his arms: "That's right, that's right, I also became a celebrity because I was exposed to his light on the Temple Mountain." ”
Sam greeted him, and the two hugged tightly.
patted each other on the back for a while, and after separation, the faces of the two sank and they spoke at the same time.
Flodo: "We demand that the rights covered in the Covenant be fulfilled as soon as possible......"
Sam: "Your legion doesn't have the ability to fight in Heavenly Mountain......"
After a pause, he responded at the same time.
Flodo: "Even if our equipment is a little behind, don't be so underestimated!"
Sam: "You're just doing your duty in this matter, and you must obey our command!"
Responding again made both sides a little angry......
Sam: "Facts speak louder than words!"
Flodo: "So you still don't have basic trust in us!"
The two halflings glared, and a pair of soft hands rested on their heads, rubbing them vigorously.
"Two distinguished gentlemen, please don't interfere with my work, okay?"
The bespectacled succubus curled the corners of his mouth and said, "This is my reception desk......
It's not good to scold the succubus for being rude, and Flordo and Sam look at each other depressedly.
Sam sighed, "Let's go inside and talk while we watch." ”
Flodo nodded, and told the guards to stay here and wait for him.
The guard timidly asked, "That...... General, we can ask this succubus ...... Do you want an autograph?"
Flodo was stunned: "I didn't stop you?"
Another guard couldn't believe it: "Didn't the general stop us just now?"
Flodo: "......"
Following Sam deeper down the hall, Flordo asked, "The succubus...... Oh, Miss Red Succubus, what's wrong?
Sam coughed and said, "That's Mary, it's that Mary in Mary Square, it's your honor to be touched by her." ”
Flodo's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look again, finally recognizing it.
Sure enough, the face is very similar to the sculpture on Mary's Square in Beta City, the second eldest of the three sisters of the Red Succubus, one of the three goddesses of adventurers, of course, the adventurers themselves.
Flodeau decided not to wash his hair for three months.
Here, the succubus Mary signed the guards and happily chatted with her sisters on the channel.
"I rubbed Flodo's head just now, it's Commissar Sam's teammate back then, and now Marshal Remaco's assistant. ”
"Plus Pique, I've already collected all the head-touching kills of the Stonelizard Mountain Halfling Squad!"
Mina shouted, "Second sister, you are cunning, you only then understand what your purpose is in running to Winsley Sky Reef!
Anne sighed, "Don't be too happy, Mary, Mayne told me that there are four members of the halfling team, and one named Gomis, who has never been found." ”
Mary let out a frustrated wail: "There is a ...... hiding"
Here, Frodo followed Sam to the confidential communication room in the hall, and on the command platform inside, countless light curtains formed a huge wall, scrolling countless images.
The Seventy-Fourth Legion was stationed at Winsley Corner, ready to attack, but three days into the battle, the entire Legion was still on standby.
Lan Yue is extremely dissatisfied with this, of course, all parties have different ideas, the god of war is dissatisfied with the lag that can only be obtained from the Red Alliance, or the second-hand battle situation, the god of war is dissatisfied with the believers who did not go into battle, and he can't slip in, and Rimacko is simply unhappy that his legion is so despised.
As a not-so-important, but procedurally important part of organizational communication, Flodo is here.
"See for yourself, the three-day battle is actually not a battle, it is a ...... death"
Sam put together several light curtains into one, projecting the battle he had received two hours earlier.
This is the latest battle situation received by the rear, and the Red Federation must invest dozens or even hundreds of times more manpower and equipment than usual in order to conduct a live broadcast on the two battlefields of Heaven Mountain and Hell that would normally be seen in all wars, which is obviously unaffordable.
So now, I just borrowed the force field generators of the Black Whale and the Phantom Whale to transmit the results when I was scanning the whole area, and after post-processing, I got the battlefield images that even non-technical people could see clearly.
Strictly speaking, it's actually a post-production special effect, and of course the battle situation is real.
Looking at the image in the light curtain, Flordo's expression gradually became solemn, until he was stunned, which was shocked.
One by one, the battleships charged in self-explosions, and nearly half of them exploded into pieces in the middle of the way......
The battleships that rushed to the bottom of the barrier were also destroyed, and the teams of Chaos Angels released were like explosive insects, blowing up the bottom of the barrier to the ground, and at the same time, they were also buried in rubble and smoke.
Even the ships that maintained their field in the rear were bathed in a storm of golden flames, spears of light, and arrows, and sometimes had to engage angel ships.
Even so, the Red Alliance's warships continued to rush out of the sea of chaotic clouds, charging one after another to their deaths.
The lifeballs rained down from the height of the sea of clouds, some of them were shattered by the angel's spears and arrows, some fell into the chaos, and only a few were caught.
Roughly speaking, there is no progress in the battle at all, and it is impossible to see that the Red Federation is doing it for, or just to send them to death.
Looking closely, it can be seen that the floating island barrier guarding Heavenly Mountain has collapsed layer by layer, and the angel's long-range firepower has been difficult to cover the commandos who rushed to the bottom, so they have to dispatch a large group of angels to rush down the barrier and fight with the commandos at close range.
Seeing the back, Flodo's body began to tremble slightly.
Sam is right, this is not a battlefield that the Seventy-Fourth Legion can mix, if you go up to die, if you go up, I'm afraid you will die in no more than ten minutes.
"You ...... Can it hold on?"
Flordo swallowed his spit and asked hard, he actually wanted to ask how many warships had been sunk and how many people had died in the past three days.
"Not much ......"
Sam didn't keep it a secret from Frodo, and of course it didn't need to be kept secret, just didn't deliberately advertise it.
"Until now, the two battlefields of Heaven Mountain and Hell have been combined, and they have died in battle...... Tens of thousands. ”
Those who were seriously injured, or even those who only snatched back their heads, were three times as high, so there is no need to go into details.
As for the Crimson Gods and Witches, the commander of the First Fleet, Hook Sr., and the commander of the Second Fleet, Linde, were both seriously wounded; the warship operators of the Red Alliance Navy had already suffered casualties, and even the dogs were undergoing emergency training in battleship maneuvering; except for the Kun-class battleship and the mothership, all the other warships were destroyed; and the battleships that rushed up now were all hastily made shells, filled with protective materials, and only equipped with the necessary equipment, not even a life-sustaining system......
These circumstances are secrets that cannot be divulged, the commander-in-chief of the legion, Li Qi in the form of Da Qili, personally told Sam that the current offensive momentum of the Red League can be maintained for two more days at most, and after two days, it will really run out of blood.
Flodo swallowed again, it didn't sound much, about the size of the Seventy-Fourth Legion.
However, looking at the battle situation, there are only a few people in each battleship, and after the Chaos Angels who rushed up were blasted, many of them seemed to have penetrated into the depths of the floating island, and they were not killed or caught by the Angels of Order.
"Materials are not the problem, the focus is on manpower ......"
The Red Union people are proud, and Sam doesn't like to buy miserable.
Flordo was angry: "Then pull our people up! they are not driven slaves, they are willing to die to save the world!"
"If the equipment doesn't work, you can change it, the materials you said are not a problem, if the skills are insufficient, you will urgently train, I can see a lot of kobolds being trained outside, are we not even as good as kobolds?"
Sam waved his hand and explained, "It's not that simple, you're here as a whole legion, and you can't be broken apart. ”
"When the battle situation changes, then the 74th Army will have a chance to fight, don't worry. ”
Flodo sighed, "How long will it take for the battle to change?"
Two days at most, for the better or for the worse......
Sam didn't say anything, just smiled apologetically.
Of course, this could not satisfy Frodo, and he said in a deep voice: "We need commandos, even death dares, and we have a lot of them in our legion!
"There is a need for men who can operate the battleship, and there are not a thousand but eight hundred in the legion. If the format is different, I can contact the marshal and ask him to send us the spare ships on our side. ”
Sam shook his head and sighed, "We are fighting for the liberation of our souls, and to have the kind of fanatical believers who believe that they can go to the kingdom of God after death join the battlefield will tarnish our great cause." ”
Flodo sighed, "Sam, I thought we were together again......"
Sam asked, "Frodo, what do you believe in now?"
Flodeau was stunned by the question, yes, what does he believe now?
The god of war, Shuma?
No, he wasn't the kind of commander Marshal Remacko who could rebuke Fang Xuan, and he even hated war from the bottom of his heart. It's just that he also understands that there will always be wars that have to be fought, just like the current wars, in order to defend the world.
The goddess of order is even more unlikely, then it is Theresia.
He said in a deep and helpless tone: "It would be great if everything could go back to the past, and of course if the bad things of the past could be eliminated, it would be a perfect world." ”
"If you look at it this way, I should be believing in Theresia, either the goddess of order who uses the means of restarting the world to create eternal order, or I hope to lead everyone back to the former one in a gentle way...... Mortal Theresia. ”
Sam said ruthlessly, "Don't dream, Frodo, if the world doesn't advance, we will never go back to the past." ”
Flordo smiled bitterly: "Yes, just by looking at us, I know that we will never go back." ”
Sam sighed, "Don't see me as a slave full of resentment towards the noble lord, I love it now." ”
"We are equal, we are fully responsible for each other, not for each other. ”
Then he continued: "What I said just now is just a personal opinion, and our Red Union is not so extreme. ”
"The cause must be realized step by step, and the revolution also has stages. ”
"We welcome the people you mentioned to join the fight, and my superiors specifically asked me to contact you, hoping that we can solve many difficult details in these matters through smoother communication. ”
Flodo looked at Sam in a daze, and suddenly felt that his growth was actually nothing, and compared to Sam, he was still far behind.
"I'll first single out those who believe in Theresia like me. ”
"They are willing to sacrifice for the will of Theresia ......"
Frodo said, "This should be an additional problem for the Goddess of Order." ”
Sam nodded, of course.
In fact, the Red Federation has recruited many Theresia followers through other channels and thrown them into the hellish battlefield.
Now there is a need for more such believers to join the Heavenly Mountain battlefield, a few dozens are good, in the hands of people, the speed of bloodletting is much faster than the speed of bloodmaking.
After setting the tone of cooperation, the two turned their heads to continue to watch the battle.
When will change come?
