Chapter 15: Departure
From the perspective of the panda himself, he was not at all opposed to staying in Galil Town and teaching those young people martial arts.
When the empire invaded, although he was not a knight and could not be called directly to the battlefield in response to the call of the knights of Galil, he also ended the task at hand as soon as possible, and traveled thousands of miles from the coast in the south of the kingdom to the north to participate in the battle against the empire organized by Count Tara Khan.
Before that battle, three generations of the Galil family had all died in the first battle against the Empire. When Count Tara Khan swore to send troops, he once looked at the flags and sighed: "It's a pity that the most glorious battle flag in the north has fallen to the dust!"
In that battle, the army led by Tara Khan suffered heavy losses, but in the end they managed to hold the battle line, thwarting the Empire's plan to occupy the northern frontier and drive straight into the heart of the kingdom.
Panda fought fiercely in that battle, and like several "Immortal Liver Emperors", he stayed up two nights in a row, and slept no more than 48 hours in the entire seven days of the event - and when he slept, he also asked others to help him hang up the task on his behalf, and kept brushing the imperial soldiers.
At that time, he was still in college, "New World" was the most popular game, and there were always many people playing in the Internet café.
At that time, his profession was a berserker, and his physical output was off the charts, relying on his powerful output and the spirit of exploding his liver and cultivating immortals, he finally entered the top 500 in the entire event, and won the "Gold Kingdom Warrior Medal" issued by the royal family of the kingdom......
On the way back to the hotel from the Knight's Mansion, the panda kept contemplating and reminiscing.
"I'm not in favor of staying in the town of Galil. Sleepless said straight to the point, "Sooner or later, the empire will invade. When the Imperial army came, the town of Galil bore the brunt. We will be able to resurrect it, but when the town of Galil is occupied by the Empire and the Galil family is destroyed, all our operations here will be in vain. I remember that when even the city of Tara Khan was occupied, the countess led the remnants of the defeated army to defend the 'Eagle's Beak Cliff' in the south. If you want to do some business, I think you should choose the Eagle's Beak Cliff area, which is more safe. ”
The panda was silent for a long time and said, "The military discipline of the empire is very poor. ”
"Of course, they don't pay attention to any aristocratic honors, it's a typical militaristic system. Sleepless said casually, "Later, in order to win, they colluded with the orcs, colluded with the undead, and did everything, and there was no lower limit at all." ”
"In that case, why didn't we stop them in the first place?" said Panda, "and with our strength, we might be able to do it." ”
Sleepless was stunned, he frowned and pondered, calculating whether this thing could be done or not, if he wanted to do it, what was the hope of success?
After a long time, he whispered, "This is the ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to do......"
"What's so hard to do?"
"On the Imperial side, I remember that at the beginning there were about a thousand men. To be honest, a thousand people is nothing to us, and even if we don't use some means that might be too eye-catching, just the rush of our guild masters is enough to kill a mere team of 1,000 people. But the problem is that it is easy to defeat them, and it is completely impossible to prevent the empire from increasing its troops. ”
Sleepless sighed and said, "The empire has six standing corps, even if one corps bordering the orcs does not move, one corps stationed on the coast does not move, and one corps guarding the imperial capital does not move, then there are still three corps of strength. Of the three corps, the smallest one is more than 50,000 people, and the largest is close to 100,000, adding up to more than 200,000 -- this is not 200,000 militia, but 200,000 standing troops! If we switch to a wartime mechanism, according to the ratio of elite soldiers to militia to three, it will be 600,000 troops! 600,000 people, how can we stop it?"
He shook his head again and again, obviously not even having the slightest confidence: "If everyone's level of more than ninety is still there, and the equipment and props in the warehouse are still there, the 600,000 army is not incapable of toughness." But now we're out of gear, our warehouses are empty, and everything else is washed up on a tabula rasa, except for classes and races. Even if you hurry up and level up, when the empire invades, everyone will rise to more than 20 levels. With our strength, we may be able to repel the 10,000-strong team of the Empire, and if we blow up our strength, it is not impossible to defeat one legion, but if we want to defeat three legions...... No way, it's really beyond our strength!"
"The kingdom is not dead. Panda said.
"It is true that the kingdom's strength is not weak, but if it were not for the annihilation of the Galil family, and the ravaging and slaughter of the border counties of Tara Khan, how could the kingdom go out of its way to meet the battle?" This responsibility should be borne by the kingdom, and our group of people can't carry it!"
The panda was silent, he knew Sleepless was right. To confront one country, of course, another country must intervene. Although the traversers are powerful and immortal, it is unrealistic to rely on their strength to confront a country head-on.
However, he couldn't convince himself of the tragic situation in the occupied areas after the invasion of the empire in the game.
In life, there are always some things that you know you can't do, but you have to do. Just like the Galil knights, after learning of the invasion of the Empire, they may not be sure at all, but they still dispatched all their strength to the north to meet the invading Imperial army, and finally lost and the family was destroyed. Three generations of grandparents and seven people, all of them were splashed with blood on the battlefield.
Panda has been thinking about the invasion of the empire before, and today I talked to the Galil Knight in detail, the old knight's attitude is very kind, and the respect and importance for him are also very clear, so he can't help but think of the CG picture in the original game - under the sunset, the battle flag of the Galil family that fell to the ground covered the old knight's body. On the hand that the battle flag could not cover, he still held the broken long sword tightly......
Such an old knight should not have ended up like that!
He gritted his teeth.
"If you want to stop the invasion of the Empire, I think the most appropriate way is to avoid the rebellion of Tara Khan. Sleepless said suddenly, "If there is no such riot in the Tara Khan Territory, and the old earl who is ruthless and well-organized, the empire may not dare to invade easily." Even if the old earl died, his eldest son's means were no worse than his, and he could still constitute a sufficient deterrent to the empire. In the game, it was the man of the earl's family who died, and the youngest daughter who studied magic in the royal capital rushed back to take over, causing the hearts of the people in the territory to fluctuate, and many lower-level lords were rebellious, so that the empire could see the opportunity. ”
He wanted to explain more, but heard the panda's laughter.
"In that case, then what are we waiting for?" the panda patted Sleepless on the shoulder and almost patted him stumbling, "Just after lunch, we are full of wine and food, so let's set off and rush to Tarakhan City!"
