12. I swear
Li Hao: "Definitely. β
Mike: "I swear. β
"Okay, I'll just say it, behind this 'hero curtain' is actually a person's story, the life of a legendary soldier......"
"I know, you can talk about the next thing."
"Mike, don't you talk nonsense, okay? Besides, I'll throw you out. Li Hao was listening well, but Mike suddenly interjected.
"Oh, I know, I promise not to speak."
Jarvis despised him, and continued, "This man's name is Hohan, the youngest general in the history of the Mick Empire who has risen to prominence by military exploits, and is known as the 'War King'. When he said this, Yalves looked extremely excited. However, what if he becomes the 'war king'? I still can't escape the verdict of death, if he dies of illness or war, I can still accept it, but I never imagined that he was killed by the royal family's arrows. His eyes were full of sadness.
Li Hao guessed: "How did you shoot to death?" Was it shot here? β
Jarvis: "Yes, that's where I shot my death, that's why it's called 'Curtain'." β
Mike: "I heard there's a beautiful love story here?" β
Jarvis: "Well, it's this beautiful love story that makes this 'war king' a tragedy in the end. He took a sip of water and continued: "This matter must be traced back to thirty years ago, when the 'War King' was only a young man in his early twenties, and no one knew where he came from, because he was not the 'War King' at that time. He joined the army in the barracks outside the imperial capital, when Mick City was not the imperial capital, it should be called the royal capital, because Mick was not an empire at that time, but a relatively powerful kingdom. I don't know if God deliberately wanted to fulfill a hero, just the year he joined the army. War broke out. β
"The kingdoms around Mick felt that Mick was developing too fast and would threaten their security in the future, so they gathered several times the number of troops to suddenly attack Mick. An army of 800,000 marched in five directions to the city of Mick at that time. β
Mike: "Eight hundred thousand? Don't we have an army of two million? Still afraid of them? β
YΓ‘rvis: "Of course Mick doesn't have to be afraid now, but at the time. There were only 300,000 troops in the country. β
Mike: "Three hundred thousand? 300,000 is still a fart? β
Jarvis: "Well, there were a lot of nobles who wanted peace talks, and they would rather lose their land and take money than fight this battle. So before the battle was fought, Mick began to have chaos inside. β
Jarvis: "Fortunately, the king at that time was strong-willed, and he insisted on fighting this battle, no matter what the people below him said. And it was strongly supported by the military. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he decisively executed several nobles who advocated peace in the main hall of the palace. Then he ordered the general mobilization of the whole country and prepared for a decisive battle. β
"It was at this time that our 'War King' Huo Han opened the front line with the army. After he arrived at the front line, he suddenly made a small achievement, and was promoted to a squad leader, and thus began his legendary ten-year campaign. There was adoration in his expression.
Li Hao: "What about after that?" How did he offend the emperor? Supposedly, shouldn't he be rewarded for his great deeds? β
Jarvis: "While his army was gaining victory, the other enemy forces were already on the verge of Mick. Upon receiving the news, his army quickly retreated to support Mick City. When retracement. Hohan has been promoted to captain, commanding more than a thousand people. Upon returning to Mick City, he immediately joined the fight. β
"The battle lasted two days. The enemy was constantly attacking the city, and Hohan, who was guarding the city walls, suggested that he sneak attack at night. But the commander didn't take it at that time. He was very angry, watching his soldiers decrease day by day, he was furious, and in a fit of rage, at night, he led a thousand soldiers in his hands to sneak out of the city. That night, a sneak attack was launched on the enemy camp. A thousand soldiers entered through the east gate of the enemy camp and exited through the west gate. Crossing the entire enemy camp, I heard that even the enemy's supreme commander was so frightened that he abandoned his army with his guards and fled for his life. ββ¦
"Finally. The enemy generals figured it out, and for the sake of shame, they dispatched 30,000 people to encircle and suppress Huohan. At that time, after Huo Han and his men killed the enemy camp, they did not return to the city, but waited outside for the opportunity before sneaking attack. β
"When the enemy's 30,000 men surrounded him on a hill, they launched a final charge against him, but, when they rushed up, they found that there was not a single person on the mountain, and the enemy searched for him. That same night, Hohan led his army to attack the enemy camp again, this time through the south gate, and out through the north gate. β
"This time the enemy's anger has reached its peak, and it has been attacked twice by a brigade with only 1,000 people twice in a row, and the barracks of hundreds of thousands of troops cannot stop a thousand people, which is unprecedented in history." At this point, Jarvis suddenly stood up, his expression agitated, his eyes shining.
Then he said: "Just when Hohan was attacking the enemy troops everywhere outside the city, Mick also received the deeds of Hohan outside the city, and the whole city was in a sensation, and people were talking about Hohan and discussing him. When the king found out, he immediately sent people out of the city to let Hohan return. After receiving the king's order, Hohan returned to Mick City with his remaining five hundred soldiers. When he returned to Mick City, it was not just cheering, but also sealing. The king proclaimed directly in the square that Hohan was in command of all military affairs in Mick. β
After receiving the king's reward and mission, Hohan was not proud, because there were nearly half a million enemy troops outside the city. On the second day of his return to the city, Hohan gathered all the soldiers in the city, gave them three days' rations, and cried out: 'Now I will take you to death, will you be willing?' ββ
As soon as his words came out, the audience fell silent, and I don't know why their new manager said such a thing. Then Hohan cried out: 'Now there is a large crowd outside the city, do you know what they are here to do?' ''I come to tell you, they have come to rob you of your money, and after you have robbed your money, they will rob your women.'' Do you think you're willing? When the soldiers below heard these words, some of them were not angry, and they cried out, 'I am not willing to die.'" Seeing that they were now angry, Hohan shouted again: 'Then I am going to go with you now to kill those bastards who want to rob us of our money and women, are you going to go?' Shouting 'Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, ......' the entire city of Mick suddenly appeared in a boundless murderous aura. Then Hohan mounted his mount and drew his sword. Roaring: 'For money and women, kill me.' In the end, Hohan took the 100,000 angry soldiers out of the city. β
"Hohan's army is fighting in the sky when it comes out of the city. The people in the city listened to the sound of the battle for two days and two nights. There was almost no break on the way. On the third day, there was no sound outside the city. Everyone understands that as soon as the sound of this fighting stops, it means that the battle is over, but they don't know what the result is, after all, 100,000 vs. 500,000, the disparity is too great, and everyone has no hope in their hearts. β
After a while, the gates slowly opened. Then Hohan walked into the city with a bag in his hand, and by this time his whole body was blood-red, and even his eyes were red with blood. When he entered the city, he raised his bag and shouted, 'Here is the head of the enemy commander.' When the people paused when they heard the news, they burst into a loud cry, and the king, who was in the palace, was not even dressed when he heard the news. He ran wildly towards the city gate, and when he saw the blood-red Huo Han at the city gate, he rushed over excitedly. Hold him tightly. β
Mike: "It's so shocking, I don't think he should be the 'King of War', he should be called the 'God of War'." β
Jarvis: "After this battle, Huo Hanwei's reputation completely shook the entire Sigu Continent, 100,000 against 500,000, a big victory, and killing the enemy's boss, this matter will appear in a young man who is only in his early twenties. ββ¦
"Outside Mick after the First World War. Hohan led the remaining 50,000 soldiers and pursued the victory. Recover all of Mick's towns in a row. By the time he had driven all his enemies out of Mick's land, his army had grown to 200,000. He didn't stop because of that. He burned the flames of war to the territory of the enemy country, and killed the enemy country's capital as quickly as possible, and surrounded the enemy's capital with 200,000 troops, which made the enemy country's king stupid, and hurriedly sent people out to negotiate peace, and took Huo Han without even seeing the envoy's face, and slaughtered it with a knife. After that, he immediately launched a siege battle, and it took only two hours to capture the city and capture the enemy king alive. This battle once again caused a sensation on the entire continent, and Hohan's name appeared in front of the world again. It took only three days for Hohan to enter the capital of a kingdom from entering the country, which is another miracle. β
"After this battle, Hohan returned to Mick City, five years since the last time he left. When he returned this time, the king himself went out of the city thirty miles to meet him. Upon his return, Hohan was made a duke, the highest of all titles. At the celebration banquet in the evening, he met a woman who made him a tragedy in the end, Li Hui. That is, the former queen and the biological mother of the current second prince. β
Li Hao was shocked: "Queen? The queen is involved in this matter. β
Jarvis: "He wasn't a queen at the time, he was still an eldest lady, and he was known as the first beauty of Mick. After they met, they quickly fell in love. The hero accompanies the beauty, what a good story, but just when everyone thought that this epic love was about to enter the final result, an accident happened, and Li Hui's family announced: Li Hui will marry the prince of the kingdom in ten days. As soon as this news was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussions. Everyone didn't know why the Li family was doing this, and where they were going to put Huo Han. After the Li family announced the news, the royal family also confirmed the news. But when everyone was watching the heroic actions of Huo Han, the royal family announced again: Huo Han was proud of his great merits, openly molested the fiancΓ©e of the eldest prince, and announced that Huo Han would be relieved of all rights and demoted to a commoner. At this time, Mick City was completely shaken. But one night later, the news came out that Hohan was unrepentant and had trespassed into the palace, and the king had ordered the whole country to be wanted. β
Mike: "What, it's so ridiculous, it's so unreasonable, how can they do this." β
Yalvis: "What did they not dare, and finally sent a guard to hunt down Hohan." Because Hohan didn't return to Mick City for five years, the soldiers in Mick City were basically recruits recruited in the last five years, and they had no reverence for Hohan. β
"Hohan only had a few hundred soldiers at that time, and they were all the remaining elites of his 1,000-man night attack on the enemy camp. They ran all the way to this place, and then they were surrounded by this valley. Heroes are always heroes, and even after being surrounded, the kingdom's army still recovered the cost of nearly 10,000 casualties before breaking through this valley. It is a miracle that a few hundred people can cause 10,000 casualties. At last they found Hohan in the valley, who was already badly wounded, but the men did not spare him, for they were afraid. They were afraid that if they didn't kill him now, when he gathered the old army, it would be their end. So they fired all the arrows. β
Mike: "Did he just die?" β
Yalvis nodded. Standing up, he looked at the valley from afar, his expression gloomy.
"Later, if we have time, let's go inside and pay tribute to this doomsday hero." Li Hao was also infected by this heroic deed.
"Okay."
β»β»β»
When the team reached the mouth of the valley, the team stopped and rested in place. Li Hao and the three of them walked towards the valley.
After entering the valley, the three of them were shocked by what was inside. The valley is full of vicissitudes. Everywhere there are cracks, large and small, left by sharp weapons. Every time you take a step, you can find a pit in the ground, which should be caused by fighting spirit or magic, and you can imagine the fierce battle at that time. β¦
"The 'Hero's Curtain' is indeed the grave of heroes, and only true heroes will leave behind this historical proof." Li Hao said with emotion.
"Looking at the scars, I can't imagine how they fought." Jarvis Road.
"I really want to see the picture of the battle at that time." Mike Road.
Just as they were perceiving the scene, suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind: "You three little dolls." How did you get here? β
Turning their heads, they saw a middle-aged man in a high-end military uniform standing behind them.
"Captain." When Li Hao and the three of them saw this person, they shouted in unison. It turned out that this person was Darcy, the captain of the escort team this time.
Darcy: "I ask you. What are you doing here? β
"We just heard that it's a great view, so come in and have a look and go back right away." Li Hao reacted the fastest and explained.
"Really?"
"Really." Mike replied at the same time as Jarvis.
At this time, Darcy laughed and said, "Haha, you three little dolls, you can really blow, you think I am deaf, I heard what you just said." β
"Ah......" The three of them were shocked.
"Huh. Rest assured, I won't say that. β
"Then thank you, Captain."
"Now that the three of you have come in. Just come with me. Darcy turned, his back to the three of them.
Darcy turned around and walked inside. Mike asked, "To go or not?" β
Jarvis: "I don't know. β
Li Hao thought for a moment: "Let's go and see it first." β
Then the three of them followed Darcy into the innermost part of the valley. Jumped over a creek and through a dense forest to the edge of a rocky beach.
Li Hao and the others didn't understand why Darcy had brought them here. Looking around, there was not even a single grass except for stones and stones.
Mike couldn't help it at first, and said, "Captain, what kind of place is this, is there anything you brought us here?" β
He Dahl didn't answer his doubts, and he didn't even turn around, as if he hadn't heard Mike's words at all.
Mike saw that he ignored him, and was about to ask again.
At this time, Li Hao stepped forward, stopped him, and said softly: "Wait a minute." Just now, Li Hao found out that He Da took out a white flower from his clothes, and wanted to see what he was going to do.
He Dar slowly walked to a stone wall, and when he was only three steps away from the stone tablet, he suddenly bent down and knelt in front of the stone tablet.
Li Hao and the others didn't understand his actions when they saw him, and they didn't understand what he was doing.
After He Dar knelt down, he put the white flower under the stone tablet, and then kowtowed three times to the stone tablet before standing up.
After seeing He Dahl stand up, Li Hao and the three of them went up.
At this time, He Dar spoke, and he said in a sighing tone: "Do you know what this stone tablet represents? β
The three of them looked at the stele and saw that there were many small holes in it, but they were not very deep. There are still a few black spots on the surface of the stele, I don't know what they are. Unable to think of an answer, he shook his head.
He Dahl turned around again and said to the stone tablet: "This is the final place of the 'War King' Huohan. β
"What?" The three of them screamed.
"You can't imagine this is it, right? Hehe, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was here. He Dahl lamented.
"Captain, you said you saw it with your own eyes? How could this be the case, were you there? Li Hao asked.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, yes, I was here at the time, and I was a small soldier in the encirclement and suppression of the 'War King' back then."
"What?" Li Hao and the others shouted again, and looked at him with a strange look.
"Hehe, don't look at me like that. I was also forced to do it at the time, after all...... Hey, forget it. If you don't say it, if you say it, you're asking for trouble. "You just have to remember. I was there, but I didn't kill anyone at the time. ββ¦
"We believe in you, no why, just kowtow to you just now, and I will believe you." Li Hao said quickly.
"So do we." Mike, YΓ‘rvis.
"Thank you, thank you." He Dahl warmly hugged Li Hao.
"Since this is the final place of the 'War King', we should also pay our respects." After Li Hao broke free from He Dahl's embrace. Said to Mike and Jarvis.
"That's exactly what I mean." Mike.
"That's for sure." YΓ‘rvis.
The three of them walked up to the stone monument and bowed and kowtowed in the same way as He Dahl.
After standing up, He Daldao: "Okay, it's time to go back, I just ordered to rest, and I didn't camp here." Mike and Jarvis nodded understandingly.
Li Hao suddenly said at this time: "You go back first, I want to find a convenient place to go down, and the solution is over." I'll follow right away. β
"Okay, then you hurry up, let's go." He Dahl nodded to Li Hao. Then he said to Mike and the two of them. Then, the three of them left first.
After they left, Li Hao quickly came to the stele and squatted, he had just kowtowed, he accidentally found some words, and he was very familiar with these words. Putting aside the soil spread on the side of the stone tablet, I found a few wooden boards, and there were some words on these wooden boards, which looked a little familiar when you looked closely. But I don't know him. I also learned the writing of this world from Aidan, and after careful observation. Nor is it the text of this world. What exactly is the word?
In the end, Li Hao took these planks with him. Ran in the direction of the valley.
β»β»β»
After Li Hao and the others returned to the team, the team immediately set off. When I came back, everyone else asked where you had just gone, Mike and Jarvis came back first, saying that they had gone to see the scenery, and after that, Li Hao came back, and he said that it was convenient to go. As a result, everyone made a small storm for this matter.
In the evening, the convoy came outside a large city called Os, the third largest town in the Meek Empire.
Upon arrival in the city of Os, the convoy did not enter the city, but camped outside the city next to the guard barracks.
In the evening, Mike and Yalvis once again called Li Hao to go to Ostown, but Li Hao still refused their invitation when he thought of Aidan. After a few words of chatter, they took the rest of the cadets into Ostown.
Before dinner, after Li Hao went out with the others, he went to Aidan's side. Aidan lived in a small tent in the middle of the camp. Perhaps because it was a woman to take care of her, Darcy ordered that anyone who stepped within ten meters of the tent without her permission would be given fifty lashes.
"Fork you, fork you to death,......" Before he entered the tent, Li Hao heard Aidan's voice venting from inside, but he didn't know who she was going to kill.
"Is the eldest lady here?" Li Hao pretended not to hear and asked outside.
Just after Li Hao asked, there was suddenly no sound inside.
Li Hao knew that she was inside, and asked again, "Is the eldest lady here?" β
"Not there." Aidan spoke, just listening to the tone, a little angry.
"Miss, who made you angry again, I'll help you clean him up." Li Hao said perfunctorily.
"Really?" Aidan asked immediately.
"Hehe, it should be, right?" Li Hao thought to himself, you can really climb.
"Then you're going to die." Aidan.
"......" Li Hao.
"Miss, you said that I provoked you, no, you see that at noon today, I was the only one who left you something to eat, you see how good I am to you!"
"I'm embarrassed to say, your flatbread is unpalatable, I've never eaten such a bad flatbread."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"What are you doing here with me now?" Aidan asked suddenly.
"Hehe, doesn't this mean that you didn't eat at noon? Did you come and call you along? Li Hao said with a smile.
When Aidan heard this, he did not answer immediately and remained silent. Li Hao, who was outside, didn't know whether she was going or not, and walked back and forth outside the tent.
Suddenly, the tent door opened, and Aidan walked out angrily: "This is what you begged me, I didn't force you, lead the way." (To be continued)
