Chapter 906: Riding the Wind and Waves
Principality of Baya, City of Dawn.
The cold wind is blowing in the face, blowing the flag and hunting.
Today is the time for the Jialan Army to launch a general assault on the City of Dawn.
The soldiers of the Principality of Baya were armed with spears, bows, arrows, and shields on the towers.
Although the Jialan army was only 500,000, and the city of Dawn had nearly 800,000 defenders, none of the soldiers had the confidence to defeat the Jialan army.
For they remembered that a few months earlier, in the same place, they had been defeated at the hands of the army in front of them, and that they had finally abandoned the city of Dawn and fled in disarray, unable to resist the attack.
Time passes.
I thought the nightmare was over, but I didn't expect that after more than half a year, they faced this army again.
The shadow of defeat still hangs over them, and they will be able to defeat this army?
"Cheer me up!"
The roar of the front-line commander echoed above the tower: "This is different from the past, the enemy has lost their air force, they are not an invincible and undefeated army, this time they have sent to the door, it is the best time for us to take revenge." ”
"For the motherland! For revenge! For victory!"
The officers raised their arms and shouted, and the soldiers, affected by the atmosphere, also raised their arms and shouted slogans.
But the slogans shouted were hypocritical to the extreme, no matter from any point of view, and even the soldiers themselves who shouted the slogans did not believe when they were so loyal to the motherland.
Speaking of which.
The country in which he grew up was not the principality of Baya......
Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the soldiers, and behind the seemingly high morale, there was endless indifference. In the hearts of the soldiers, they did not even understand what they were fighting for.
"Men of the Principality, what are you fighting for?"
At this time, a voice echoed through the magic energy megaphone in front of the formation, and the voice obviously came from the Jialan Army.
No one here knows who is speaking, but it doesn't matter, because the question grabs everyone's attention.
"Ask yourselves, what are you fighting for?"
The voice echoed again, asking the same questions as before, but this time it gave rise to an extremely depressed emotion in the hearts of every soldier, for they could not find a reason to fight when they asked themselves.
"For the Motherland?"
"For revenge?"
"For glory?"
"For victory?"
One question after another was thrown, and the voice pierced the hearts of the soldiers of the Principality: "No! No, I know that this is not the answer you want, you don't know what you are fighting for, you don't even know why you are standing with your weapons up, and why you are fighting for the Principality of Baya." ”
"We are different from you. ”
The tone of the voice became extremely sarcastic: "Tell me, my soldiers, what are you fighting for?"
"For freedom, for the people, for never to be slaves!"
The Jialan army erupted in an extremely terrifying momentum, they understood their mission, and the reason why they took up arms was not for the king, for the country, but for the right to be born as a human being, and to usher in true democracy.
Vega told them.
Jialan will implement the 965 system and establish a country where the people are the masters of the country. But the countries of the West do not want to see such countries and institutions established, so they can only get what they want by defeating the enemy and pushing through the obstacles.
They fought for the people.
They also fight for themselves.
When this earth-shattering cry rose from the ground, the morale of the principality's army was suppressed.
They have been blindsided by a few questions from the Jialans.
At this time, they suddenly remembered the recent uproar of democratic ideas, and now they are taking up arms and standing here to defend the interests of the aristocratic and landlord classes that oppress them.
If that's really the case......
Aren't they traitors to the people? Or rather...... Betrayed yourself?
Because they are already a member of the broad masses of the people.
Once they defeat the Jialan Army, isn't it tantamount to persecuting their relatives, friends, and their own interests?
A word or two.
Before the war began, the morale of the army was already in chaos.
The front-line commanders realized that something was wrong from the beginning, they wanted to stop the Jialan Army from confusing the public, but this time, as the defending side, they simply could not stop the Jialan's verbal offensive by taking the initiative to start a war.
They could only passively listen to the various words of the Jialan army, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to prohibit discussing this matter, hoping to stabilize the morale of the army through this method. But the more it is forbidden, the more it reflects the weakness of the high-level.
Most of the soldiers are already convinced.
They were treated as livestock by the top to protect the interests of the dignitaries.
Why should they defend the interests of the dignitaries with their blood, and not for themselves?
The thought began to pop into everyone's minds, and it provoked the anger of the soldiers.
The army is already like a barrel of explosives that ignites at one point, and at this time, as long as someone ascends to the top and shouts, they are afraid that it will detonate immediately.
However, what people did not expect was that the first detonation was not the army, but from the rear.
Several problems of the Jialan Army have seriously affected not only the army, but also the civilians in the city, as well as the revolutionary army.
When these people heard these questions, they could no longer control the anger in their hearts that they were treated like livestock, and under the leadership of the revolutionary army, one by one the civilians began to storm the government and the army.
"These stupid civilians. ”
The front-line commander roared loudly: "Soldiers, give me to suppress this bunch of stupid pigs. Anyone who causes trouble at such times will be treated as spies of the Jialan Army and enemies of the Principality of Baya. ”
The voice fell, but no soldier obeyed the order.
Instead, one of the captains stood up and asked loudly: "Your Excellency, General, what are we fighting for? Are we fighting for the hundreds of millions of people in the whole country, or are we fighting for those dignitaries who are rich and unkind?"
"If you are fighting for the people, why doesn't Your Majesty change the system to defend the interests of the people?"
"If we're fighting for the people, why are we going to raise our arms against civilians?"
"If we are fighting for the people, why are we still oppressed by the nobility and landlords?!"
One question after another was pressed to the front-line commander, but the commander could not answer a single word.
"Who are you who deserve me to answer this question?"
The front-line commander was annoyed and angry, and ordered: "He is a spy of the Jialan Army, I will arrest him......"
Rumble!
With a loud thud, Thea's astral magic overridden the officer's orders.
At this time, the Jialan army suddenly launched an attack, and the soldiers of the Principality of Baya still didn't understand what they were fighting for. They simply simply do not have the courage to raise their arms against a powerful enemy, as well as against unarmed civilians.
The principality army collapsed directly.
The soldiers questioned the officers, the officers ordered the soldiers not to move, and the civilians made trouble in the rear......
All of this made this war an avalanche of defeat.
And that's just the beginning.
Over the next half month, the gates of the city opened wherever Vega went.
Soldiers rebelled, civilians revolted, and the credibility of the government was lost......
Countless problems could no longer be suppressed by force, and the Jialan army drove all the way unimpeded and drove directly to the national capital Sulunho City.
The last trace of luck of Grand Duke Baya was buried.
Miracles, and did not come.
