Chapter 64: The Mess (Part II)
Godin's face was gloomy as he walked all the way back to his barracks in the city.
During his daily routine check-ups in the city of Boer, Godin felt like he was tormenting himself.
The news of the outbreak of war on the front line of Hamp City naturally spread to Boer City, but as the city defense army of Boer City, his superiors did not pay much attention to it. In a small city like theirs, the main task is to manage their own territory, and with the distance from Hamp City to here, it is impossible for the enemy to attack here.
The thoughts of the superior officers are still so paralyzed, let alone the soldiers below?
Godin was a veteran of several wars, especially against the Duchy of Beru, where he fought twice. It was only because of his physical disability and his somewhat violent temper that Godin was transferred to a border town like Boer.
But to the surprise, there was a hundred-strong Beilu cavalry force that appeared on the plain near Boer City, whether the other party got lost or deliberately plundered, the undefended Boer City became the target of the other party's plunder.
Even the city defense officers of Boer City were cut off by the Belu people in their sleep, and the only thing to be thankful for is that the purpose of these Belu people is not to slaughter the city, otherwise the current situation of Boer City is not much better than that of Hamp City.
Even so, Boer City still suffered huge losses, the casualties were trivial, the damage to the houses, and the huge blow to morale, it can be said that the current Boer City is completely scattered!
But even so, after the departure of these Belu robbers, the people of Boer almost took out all their anger on these city defenders.
Due to the lack of houses, the soldiers of the city defense army lived directly in the square in the center of the city of Boer, when patrolling, Godin will inevitably be looked at by the residents, and the soldiers on patrol see Godin, they are also subconsciously dodging, the one-eyed Godin, the original wool looks a little hideous, and with the gloomy face that has been in the past two days, the soldiers know very well that whoever provokes this evil star at this time may be unlucky.
Godin was lying on the futon in the barracks, his right eye staring straight at the roof, he needed a place to vent himself, or he would probably be to death by himself.
Since his left eye was cut by a knife and his right arm was cut off in half, he felt that in his life, there was no possibility of going to the front line to kill the enemy, and at the beginning of the arrival of this group of Belu cavalry, = Godin was even a little excited, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in a border town, he still had the opportunity to make contributions, but this became a shame for his military career.
The strength of the city defense army can be said to be almost twice that of the opponent, and even if these people are new recruits, there is no reason to let the Belu people spread wild on their own territory.
These plundering Belu people, while attacking, shouted the name of the second army of Beru, and the city defense officers who did not act were directly beheaded, and the other soldiers instantly lost the idea of resisting, and let the enemy burn and plunder in the city.
Although Godin's appearance is more fierce and vicious, he will be like a crazy beast when dealing with the Beru, but when facing his own people, his executioner's heart will become gentle.
The situation in the city is far more cruel than the data on paper, almost everyone does not have enough to eat, the granary in the city was directly burned to ashes by a fire on that shameful night, and some people have even caught rats in the city, slaughtered and dried into dried meat. Godin was originally in charge of the distribution of food, but whenever he saw the helpless eyes of the residents who lined up to receive food, Godin's heart was like a knife, and he also directly handed over this work to his team leader.
Until yesterday, when he saw a young mother weaned because she couldn't eat her stomach and couldn't replenish her nutrition, holding her dead child in her arms, crying on the ruins of her house, Godin, an iron man who was accustomed to seeing blood and killing, couldn't help but cry.
He really didn't want to see these innocent civilians suffer any longer, and if he could spend his life suffering humiliation and ridicule in exchange for a stable life for the residents of Boer City, he was absolutely willing.
At that moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent, the tent door curtain was lifted, and his peer, Nile, rushed in from outside the tent with an excited face.
"Quick, Godin, don't sleep, our new lord is here!"
"New lord?" Godin's mind had barely turned a corner when Niro hurriedly pulled him out of the tent.
......
Ron sat on horseback and looked at the city in front of him with some embarrassment, before coming to Bol City, he had imagined what this city would look like that had just been sacked by the Beru, but the actual situation seemed to be much more cruel than he imagined.
"These soldiers can't be counted as soldiers. Beside him, Meria whispered.
Ron nodded noncommittally, a qualified soldier, first of all, in terms of spirit, is much stronger than a normal person, although he is not an officer, but he can still see that the city defense army of Boer City has indeed received a great mental blow, every soldier is like a frightened bird, there is no morale at all.
"What about your officers? We were ordered by the Commander of the First Legion, Lord Torumman, to take over the administration of Boer City. Merial said aloud.
"Da Da Da!"
As if in response to Meria's question, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the gates of Boer City, and two soldiers on horses galloped out of the city.
"Huh?"
Ron's eyebrows furrowed, and his attention quickly focused on the two of them, an officer with an eyepatch, this blindfold was obviously not grandstanding, and the officer's right arm and sleeve felt a little empty, it was obvious that he was a disabled person, but judging from the way he rode a horse, he was not affected by the physical disability at all.
"Are you the temporary city guards of Bol?" Meria asked.
"My lord, we are the captain of the Sixth Battalion under the command of Lord Rooney, my name is Nile, and this is Godin. Nile was a middle-aged officer with a bald head, and compared to Godin, who was not smiling, Niro always had a smile on his face: "On behalf of the inhabitants of Bol City, I welcome your lordship. ”
"Hmph, I hope it's not a wine bag or a rice bag!"
Godin suddenly snorted, and his eyes swept over Ron and Merial: "Didn't the First Army go to the front line of Hamp?
Among the soldiers of the Boer City Defense Army behind Godin, there was a sudden gasp sound, the new superior had just arrived, Godin actually spoke against him at this time, they seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen next.
