Chapter 283: My family's old one-eyed can't be a hero of the gods
~
Wang Wu is really a person with an anxious personality.
To him, what is step-by-step, step-by-step seems to be a joke, and it has never been included in the dictionary. Wang Wu's policy of doing things is to either not do it, or to do it, to make it bigger.
So, when he decided to assassinate the imperial generals, he directly picked on Brent, a butcher who was notorious in the eastern provinces.
The archers in the team had long been desperate for Wang Wu, and when Wang Wu was sure that the target was Brent, he was just glad that Wang Wu had not yet run to the imperial capital to assassinate the emperor!
Butcher Brent is the commander of the Seventh Legion of the Empire, known for his bloodlust and brutality, and the soldiers under his command are also a group of inhumane beasts, not to mention cruelty to the enemy, even if they are their own people, the full strength of the Scorpion Legion is 30,000, but it has never been full, and the number has remained below 20,000 all year round.
The wickedness of this group of beasts is something that even the priests of the church are afraid of, and there is not even a single priest in the entire legion. It all relies on a group of equally inhumane dream builders to support high-end combat power.
However, it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of such a legion, as well as the deterrence of the battlefield, are unparalleled, and at the beginning, Mozhou City relied on the advantage of equipment and numbers to resist the waves of attacks of the Colossus Legion, but finally lost in a surprise attack by the Scorpion Legion.
The scorpion soldiers who participated in the raid brutally dismembered every soldier who resisted, and slaughtered civilians in the villages and towns around the city under the city, and the blood flowed like a river.
After all, the soldiers of the Freedom Alliance had never experienced the baptism of war, and their psychological quality was not strong enough, and they collapsed under the psychological offensive of the Scorpion Legion, and were attacked into the city, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of residents died in the massacre!
The butcher is such a dehumanized general.
Compared with a month ago, Mozhou City is no longer the front line of the war in the eastern provinces, and Brent's Seventh Army has also been suppressed in Mozhou City, and it has not smelled the smell of war for a long time. Moreover, he was personally ordered by the emperor not to massacre the inhabitants of the city without authorization, which also made the bloodthirsty generals and soldiers restless.
However, this is also the calm before the storm, and once such an army is released at a critical moment, there will be no one to stop on the battlefield.
Now that Shengzhou City has suffered a setback, although it is not impossible to open the situation with the Guard Legion alone, it will pay an unnecessary price, at this time, the Scorpion Legion has a place to use, and such a legion can often reap miraculous results as the vanguard of the battle.
――――
"Hmph, hasn't Your Majesty's order come down yet?".
In the midst of a three-story mansion, Brent's restless voice was heard.
In the ruins of the city of Mozhou, there is still a considerable intact building that has not had time to be destroyed, and now Brent lives in the mansion of the former city lord, but the once exquisite decoration has been torn to pieces, Brent is disgusted with the literary and elegant decoration, and the walls painted with red blood make him feel comfortable in comparison.
It's just that, because of the ban of His Majesty the Emperor, he can't slaughter at will in the city, so the walls of the bedroom haven't been painted with fresh blood for a long time, and the smell of blood in the air has faded a lot, which makes him very unhappy.
"The men of the Guards are not ready?"
And in front of Brent, his staff officer smiled bitterly: "It's not convenient for us to urge this kind of thing." ”
Compared to Brent, a madman, the staff officers of the Scorpion Legion are high-achieving students who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy and have the sanity of a normal person. This is also because it really makes the whole legion go crazy with Brent, and sooner or later this elite legion will be taken to hell by Brent. It was necessary to set up several safety valves in the corps. ...,
These staff officers, no matter how much Brent disliked their foresight, had the emperor's orders, and secondly, they really had to rely on the various analyses and suggestions of the staff officers to start a war. Therefore, Brent has always been courteous.
It's just that at this moment, hearing the staff officer's answer, Brent couldn't help but get angry.
"It's inconvenient to urge, Lao Tzu, let's kill tens of thousands of civilians of the Freedom Alliance first, but I want to see how the Guards Legion drags on!"
The staff officer was taken aback: "General, Your Majesty has clearly said that he wants you to ......"
Brent laughed, and his mouth buried in his beard grinned, revealing two rows of bloodstained teeth: "I don't have to do this, just find a few scapegoats from my subordinates." ”
The staff officer was silent for a moment, and if he continued to persuade him, it would be bad for Brent to ask him to be a scapegoat.
Indeed, the people of the Scorpion Legion do not recognize their relatives and only recognize their staff, which is a rule set by His Majesty the Emperor, but ...... For a group of madmen, even His Majesty's restraint is not 100% effective. Among the major legions, the staff officer mortality rate of the Scorpion Legion is still the highest.
Seeing that the staff officer shut up, Brent snorted: "Don't wait, I'll leave tonight." If the Guards Legion doesn't want to attack, then let's see our Scorpion Legion break through the walls of Shengzhou City! ”
With that, Brent waved his hand to signal that the staff officer could leave.
The staff officer stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and reminded: "General, I just received news that the Freedom Alliance has a special squad, which is active, and it seems that two imperial squads have been eliminated, and they have now entered the occupied area. I want to ......"
Brent glanced at him, "What do you want?
The staff officer was glared at by the murderous boiling eyes, and immediately shrunk his neck: "Don't dare, I'll go down and inform everyone and set off at night." ”
Brent sneered and let the staff officer go.
Special Squad?Assassin?Interesting, if you have the guts, try to assassinate me, haha, I haven't seen blood in the past few days, and I'm feeling unhappy, and the alliance's pig actually took the initiative to send it to the door!
Thinking of the excitement, Brent squeezed his right hand violently...... I only heard a crisp click, and the two iron galls that were originally pinched in my hand and used to exercise flexibility shattered at the same time!
――
"In front of it is Mozhou City. ”
In the shadow of a tree, the bow pointed to the crumbling city wall in the distance, and introduced to his captain: "The second largest city in the eastern provinces, with developed commercial and industrial resources, the city has always been crowded due to its rapid development, but now it ...... All that remains is the dilapidated ruins. Brent and his army of scorpions were stationed in the city, and they would not be crowded in the slightest. ”
Speaking of this, the archer clenched his fists angrily, almost clenching blood in his hands, just like Lin Yueyang, who fainted when he heard the news, he also had good friends in Mozhou City, but he died.
The massacre in Mozhou City really aroused the fighting spirit of the people of the Freedom Alliance, and although they were not as strong, they had the courage to resist to the death. And witnessing the ruins of Mozhou at this time is even more exciting.
Wang Wu looked at the broken ruins in the distance, but what he remembered in his heart was what the old one-eyed had said.
"War has always been a lose-lose game, except for a few people who are eligible to profit from it, most people lose a mess. Many people think they have won, but when the carnival of victory is followed by a devastated body and a myriad of nightmares, he realizes how much he has lost. ”
After speaking, the old one-eyed was very indignant and poured a sip of liquor mixed with water, and then spat: "Heroes?
Wang Wu didn't have any feelings about the old one-eyed's impassionedness at that time, but just looked around with great interest at the old one-eyed and lame leg, and saw the latter furious: "Little rabbit, what do you mean?"
"Hahaha, look at you covered in devastation, think what a hero you were back then. ”
"Phew!"
The old one-eyed body was seriously injured, which obviously meant a tragic past, and when Wang Wu mentioned it, the old man was also stupid and reluctant to mention it, and the topic of war ended here.
And Wang Wu never understood what the old one-eyed was excited about at that time, and this doubt became stronger and stronger as time went by, especially when the players around him were red in their eyes and wanted to breathe fire, Wang Wu felt that the peace in his heart seemed to be particularly discordant, and it seemed to be intolerable?
Many people have said that Wang Wu does not understand human feelings, and even reprimanded him for not understanding human feelings...... Now that I think about it, it's more or less a little, at least Wang Wu really can't be as sad and angry as the people around him......
Dead is dead, what is there to be excited about in the ruins of corpses in this place? Except for the archer Lao Zhang, who has a friend who died in it, what are the others sad about?
While thinking, Wang Wu walked at the front of the team, guiding a safe passage path for the people behind him, and gradually approached the ruins of Mozhou City.
As we got closer, the smell of corpses in the city was even stronger, and it was obvious that the Scorpion Legion didn't sell much effort when cleaning up the battlefield, and even the corpses were not properly buried and cremated...... The Imperial Legion is equipped with priests, who are not afraid of the plague, and the survivors in the city are afraid that they will experience another catastrophe, but the Scorpion Legion does not allow anyone to leave the city without permission, even if the food and water in the city are seriously insufficient, and the survivors can only watch death approach.
Wang Wu quietly approached the ruins in the eastern part of the city along a path full of shadows, sneaked through the cracks in the rubble of the city wall, and quickly knocked down the two soldiers patrolling nearby, taking the opportunity to let the other team members infiltrate the city together. This is also because there are high-level detection enchantments in the city, and the female dream builders in the team do not dare to use dream building techniques to create illusions at will, otherwise it will not take so much trouble to infiltrate.
Once you enter the city, the scenery is even more terrifying, looking at the scorched earth and corpses around you, and the survivors who are hobbling through the streets, looking for food and water...... Even Wang Wu set off a trace of undetectable ripples in his heart.
"Tsk, let's take this assassination a little more seriously......"
