Chapter 258
The front of the Fort of Ferramen is a wooden wall made of mud and wood, probably due to the level of the building, the front of the wooden wall is actually a slope of dirt, although there are a lot of sharpened logs obliquely inserted on it as a block, but on the whole, it is still extremely easy to climb, when he first saw this fortress, Xia Dong once complained, this is simply a brain-dead design.
And at this moment, it seemed that his idea had been fulfilled, and the group of barbarians walked like a fly, easily rushing up the slope to the wooden wall, and for a while, the sound of fighting in the fortress was everywhere, and Roman soldiers and barbarians could be seen fighting everywhere.
Marcus, who took the lead, stood on the wooden wall and struggled to stop the barbarians, with his excellent skills, he had already killed several barbarians who rushed forward, but when he took the time to look at the outside of the wooden wall, it was already densely crawled with enemies, and he immediately shouted with all his might, "Bring the torch!" ”
The ditch on the outside of the fortress has the fire oil they sprinkled, and if you set it on fire, not only will the enemies who climb halfway be killed, but they can also cut off the following enemy forces.
When the soldiers outside just started to assemble, Fu Xueqin had already been awakened, she sat up, held her long sword, and walked quickly to the window to guard, and when the battle began, she thought about it, walked to the bed, and stretched out her hand to wake up Xia Dong, "Master, wake up, something happened outside!" ”
Xia Dong opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Fu Xueqin in front of him, "What's wrong?" ”
"It seems that there is a sneak attack by the enemy, and there is a lot of movement outside." Fu Xueqin carefully guarded the surroundings and answered the master's questions in her mouth.
Kindness? Enemy? Xia Dong listened attentively, and sure enough, there were all kinds of fighting, screams, and the sound of some weapons colliding outside, so he quickly sat up.
Rub, what's the situation? Didn't you say that you were going to make a legion to conquer North Britain? Why didn't you do it yourself, but people rushed to the door first?
Under the escort of Fu Xueqin, he walked out of the room, stood on the high platform and looked at the chaotic crowd in the fortress, his mind turned, and he quickly released an incarnation statue, turning his whole body into a stone statue state, he had tried it before, in this state, his defense is still good, at least most people should not be able to cut the marble statue with the shoddy weapons of this era.
The battle in front of him was extremely tragic, people died all the time, whether it was a barbarian or a Roman soldier, their lives were so fragile in the war, Xia Dong, who saw the war scene for the first time, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He has seen hundreds of aliens, countless zergs, and walking corpses all over the streets, but even so, this kind of human cold weapon war still seems so cruel, unlike the images beautified in TV and movies, here are broken arms and stumps, wailing soldiers, and splatters of blood......
"Their situation doesn't seem good, master, are we going to intervene?" Fu Xueqin is a professional soldier after all, and she can see the situation after just a few glances.
Meddle? Xia Dong was a little dazed, it was no problem for him to kill aliens, insects, or dead walking corpses, but when facing living humans, he was a little hesitant, and the number in front of him was not a little, could he really kill so many of his kind?
When he heard that a thousand horses were a thousand before, he always felt very admired, because this represented that the force was extremely powerful, but when he really faced so many living people, he realized how difficult it was, not only whether to kill or not, but also whether he could kill or not!
Seeing that Xia Dong was confused, Fu Xueqin didn't know what he thought, "Master, they are just characters in the Little World Continent, they are false existences, and they can't be regarded as real human beings, anyway, when the World Continent is recast, they will also die." ”
Hearing Fu Xueqin's persuasion, Xia Dong nodded slightly, but he was still struggling in his heart, false? Is it really fake? Is doomed to extinction really the same as being able to kill at will?
How do you know if it's false? For these people, their lives are real, right? Like us, they have joys and sorrows, as well as joys and sorrows......
Besides, people will eventually die, and even everyone in our world is destined to die, so is it true that they can also be killed at will?
These questions hovered in Xia Dong's mind, and he didn't know the answers, but he wanted to find the answers.
Xia Dong's hesitation was naturally discovered by Fu Xueqin, she sighed in her heart, but she couldn't bear to persecute him, so she had to be silent at the moment.
Fortunately, the level of force in this world is very low, and with the level of these enemies in front of her, even if it is only her and her master, she is 100% sure that she can kill her.
"Boom!"
There was a violent burning sound, and then the surrounding area of the fortress instantly brightened, it turned out that Marcus finally ignited the fuel outside, and the raging flames instantly blocked the intruder's ranks, and even many people were engulfed in flames on the spot, rolling around with scorching heat and wailing, and the reinforcements behind saw the flames, so they had to retreat one after another, not daring to approach again.
Only the barbarians who had already rushed through the oil ditch continued to charge towards the soldiers in the fortress, but they were soon killed by all the soldiers in the fortress because of their absolute inferiority.
The fire in the ditch burned until the early morning, probably because they found that the attack was hopeless, and the barbarians decisively left the corpses all over the ground and retreated, Marcus and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and began to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the whole fortress was filled with the terrible atmosphere of the aftermath of the great battle, and the surviving soldiers collected the corpses of their comrades together, and at the same time mended the corpses of each barbarian to prevent fraudulent death, even the living barbarians were treated the same, and the Roman soldiers did not seem to have the concept of captivity.
Marcus, the hero who saved the fortress, is patrolling the fortress, organizing soldiers to take turns resting, repairing the fortress, and placing corpses.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Dong's heart was a little trance, why do people always have to kill each other? It's not how pretentious he is, or how great he is.
I believe that anyone who has really seen this kind of fight will have such a feeling, seeing a large number of fresh, identical lives pass away like meteors, and most people will not feel very comfortable.
"Master, you've been standing for a long time, can you go back and rest?" Fu Xueqin persuaded him distressedly, of course she knew Xia Dong's current psychology, not to mention that he was an ordinary otaku, even a professional soldier, how many of them would not be able to escape the sequelae of the war for the rest of their lives after returning from the battlefield?
Under such intense pressure, a considerable number of people will either completely become anti-war activists and pursue peace, truth, goodness and beauty; Either that or simply become a murderer, killing their own kind as a source of pleasure.
Hearing her words, Xia Dong woke up in the twilight, and he immediately laughed at himself, how did he become such a mother-in-law, why do humans want to kill each other? Is it possible that no one has been able to figure out the answer to this question for thousands of years?
Besides, he may not be clean and pure, the robber in the world and the crew in the legend of the night can be regarded as dying in vain at his own hands.
Don't think about it, there are always some things in life that you can't help yourself, do the task yourself, recast the small world by yourself, save the world by yourself, and don't think about anything else, it's better to be simple, and leave it to others to evaluate right and wrong!
