Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Diary for the Salvation of the Country and the Pre-War Speech
The team marched in formation, silently but efficiently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
All preparations and discussions are a thing of the past. In a few hours, they were going to be in the real fight. No matter how good the plan is, it is possible to encounter unexpected variables. None of them knew what their fate would be. Will it be a victorious return, or a glorious death, or a more terrible end......
The task has already been assigned. The team of thirty-six people was divided into six standard squads. When you arrive at the castle of the Black Robe Bull. Martin and the other twelve vanguard will fight on the front line. And twelve others assisted Martin and others in the battle. Next up is the support team, which is responsible for blocking and supporting.
The vanguard is made up of twelve men: Martin (human, Starjack Spencer Druid), Lyuklixia (human, warlock), Canian (human, paladin), Barend (dwarf, mage), Sasri (dark elf, warlock), Desert Wind (orc, sword of the sage), Thomas (human, priest), Carmen (human, psychic mancer), Renard (human, warrior monk), Haian (elven swordsman), Remy (half-elf, bard), and Shark the Wanderer.
In general, a standard adventure squad is made up of six people. Such a number of people can better share tasks such as vigils, and can also take advantage of the small number of people to carry out operations such as infiltration and infiltration. In some of the more extreme cases, you can get started by gathering elements such as warriors, healers, and spellcasters. When encountering some overly difficult tasks, it is possible for two adventuring teams to work together, with a total of about 12 people. But this time, they dispatched as many as thirty-six troops, which alone exceeded the army recruited by a feudal knight under normal circumstances. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is easy to wipe out a lord's entire army. In addition, before the battle, sufficient preparations were made and many deductions were carried out. Despite this, no one knows what the outcome will be.
Soon, it was noon, although there had been several breaks during the previous march. But after a long journey, a longer rest is necessary.
After having eaten the same simple lunch as in the morning (and the same bad broth). Everyone lay on the ground and relaxed. And Barendheliukrisia took out her diary and wrote.
Seeing that Martin seemed to be a little curious, Liu Kelixia generously handed over the diary and said, "Here, do you want to see it?"
Martin hurriedly shrank back, waved his hand again and again, and said, "How can this be, the diary is private, how can I read it." ”
"Privacy? This diary was written specifically for others to see. Lyukrixia replied.
I saw Martin look puzzled. Barende explained, "Lyukrisia and I both studied at the Arcane Academy. We have a rule there that requires a diary. Then everyone circulates it to each other. ”
"How can there be such a thing. As I understand it, a diary is a private ......," Martin said.
"Oh, there's a reason for this. It was a rule set by a professor before. According to him, he knew that there was once a lighthouse-like leader named Chang Kaishen. One of the things that person is very famous for is that he opened up the territory on the map and saved the country by diary. Although in the war, he was captured by the enemy only a few months after the start of the war. But because his diary was full of words of salvation and because his map was full of territory, he was admired by some conscientious young historians in later generations. "So, the professor set the rules. Let each of us write that kind of diary, and in many years to come, we may have a glorious reputation because of it. ”
Martin was speechless about this phenomenon. Thankfully, the topic was pulled to the other side by Remy. "I don't know what this pre-war speech will be. Remy said.
This is also a novelty for Martin. When he was reading history books, he knew that before the battle began, the generals often had to give short speeches to boost morale. But this is also done in the adventure, Martin has never experienced it.
"By the way, a little presumptuous, what was the pre-battle speech you heard when you participated in the Moon Elf raid underground? I know it's rude, but my damn curiosity ......," Remy said. From this, Martin knew that Sasri had such a past.
It's true that the Dark Elves and the normal Moon Elves don't deal with each other. But not all dark elves live in the dark depths of the underground. Not all dark elves are evildoers. Those who believe in the spider god and the scorpion god are certainly evildoers. But that's only part of the dark elves. The reason why the dark elves are called drow is more because of drow's skin color than drow's heart. The theory of innate criminal race is somewhat untenable in this world. Martin had always thought that Sasri was a drow who lived on the surface and had always lived a good life. And today he learned that it turned out that Sasri once had a dark past. "No wonder she has some slight masochistic behavior, probably because of the influence of that life. Martin thought.
"Your curiosity will kill you sooner or later, even if you have nine lives like a cat. Sasri said with a little displeasure, but she answered Remy's question anyway, and she glanced at Haian and said, "Well, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you about your performance the night before." The only time I've been a part of a raid on the surface elves, the commander gave a brief speech where he said, "The only good moon elf is the Moon Elf Dead." Make all the Moon Elves good...... The Moon Elf can be indoctrinated and is most civilized when he dies and is eaten by crows. Remy blushed and jotted down this short pre-war speech.
Needless to explain, Martin knew why the commander hated the Moon Elves so much. Originally, in antiquity. The vast majority of drows live on the surface. At that time they had their country. Just north of the peninsula of the Moon Elves' settlement. It is compared with the moon elf gathering place adjacent to the sea and the superior environment. The gathering place of Drow is much worse. They are constantly under attack from barbarians. Culturally, they lag far behind the Moon Elves. In fact, the Moon Elves had been extremely contemptuous of Drow at the time. He doesn't recognize Drow at all, and treats Drow as a barbarian. In the Moon Elves Sacred Games, there is no place for Drow.
The Drow yearn for the civilization of the Moon Elves to the south. Later, there was a male lord between them. Trained a powerful army, swept away the surrounding forces in one fell swoop, and fought in the south with all its might, and even the most elite of the Moon Elves, the holy war army composed of 300 gay pairs, was also completely annihilated. Eventually, Drow established his hegemony. Convene a meeting (all of the city-states except the Moon Elves of Rassi Timon did not attend.) Establish a new order. Just as the Moon Elves were frustrated by their forced submission, the male lord was assassinated. The Moon Elves let out a long breath, in their opinion, the enthroned Asandar was nothing more than a hairy child, and there was nothing to fear.
But they were wrong. Asandhar's father was a male lord, and Assandar was the male lord of male lords, facing endless riots and riots in various city-states. He led a well-trained army and wiped out all resistance in one fell swoop. Then, he led his subordinates across the continent and became the conqueror of the world. Fortunately for the Norma, Norma was still an unpopular civilization, so Assandar was not interested in fighting at all. So the Norma escaped.
Assandar died young, and the empire he left behind was shattered. And one of them has been fighting with the moon elves. Years later, when the Normars arrived, the Moon Elves and Drow were still in constant infighting, and they were finally conquered by the Normars. Some of the drows were banished from the ground, and since then they have lived a cruel religion of the spider queen or the scorpion god, and the evil life is extremely evil. This part of the drow has always held a grudge against the Moon Elves, and from time to time they will attack the Moon Elves from the ground.
In turn, the Moon Elves are also very resentful of many Drow, and sometimes even go underground to attack Drow. And Haian once participated in such an operation. I don't know if it's fair or because Sasri said what happened the night before. Remy asked Haian for advice on their pre-battle speech during their raid on the Drow Elves.
"It's simple. Haian thought for a moment and replied, "At that time, the commander said: The dark elves are greedy, tyrannical, miserly, lying, and infanticidal scum. And that's still a good guy for the dark elves. ”
“...... Isn't Remy worried about stirring up racial strife and destroying unity?" asked Martin quietly to Lyukrisia.
"It's nothing, they are all partners who were born and died together, how could something go wrong because of a word. But there's something awkward in my heart, that's for sure. But don't worry, everyone knows that Remy is like that, too curious. Lyukrisia explained, and then she said in a loud voice, "You want to listen to the pre-war speech I heard when I first went to war? At that time, we went to raid a tribe of trolls. At that time, the commander said to us: if you see a troll resisting, it is a brave enemy. Of course, don't be soft, you must eliminate it. But when you encounter a troll screaming and fleeing in all directions, don't be soft either, it's a cunning enemy, and you must destroy it. Lyukrixia paused, then recounted, "Then I asked him what to do with a troll who raised his hand in surrender?" ”
"I don't like that person. "He has a famous saying, and he often puts it on his lips: I like to smell the powerful fiery glue in the morning!"
"That's right, in my opinion, he's too unstable. It's a dangerous character. Haian nodded yes.
"But we had to need him, we needed him to do some special work. Wrenard said.
Then they got into talking about some things inside the Cult Order. Judging from their words, they are indeed partners who are often born and die together, and it is no wonder that Liukrisia said that they would not cause anything to happen to each other because of those two sentences.
On the other hand, they didn't shy away from Martin when they talked about it. Martin knew that he had gradually come to accept......

I'm very sorry to update it now.
I'm sure a lot of people even forget the plot......
Actually, I'm dragging the show. Drag that battle out of the way. Because I have a headache about how to write.
Because, a certain DND novel that is quite popular (but I don't like it). There was once an incident in a forum that was criticized by the author of another, more popular DND novel. That's a battle scenario. In someone's book, the main character is a mage. He used fossils as mud to trap the Winter Oni, and then burned him to death with a wall of fire. When he returned, a group of archmages praised him and said that he was so smart. Why didn't we think of it?
It's such a plot that has been criticized. Because said the author of the more popular DND novel. Trapping fossils in mud and then burning them with a wall of fire is the most basic tactic! Just because that is praised by others, or praised by the archmage, it is ridiculous.
And in some other DND novels, similar things have also appeared.
I sometimes think it's ridiculous to cling to such things. Literature is not a complete reproduction of life, let alone a team battle report. Lao Sa's book also let the third master hack a demon to death with two knives.
But I just find it hard to put pen to paper.
Embarrassment
