Chapter 40: The Tunnel

"I thought the Duke would wait until the catapult was powerful before he was forced to organize a death squad to destroy it, but I didn't expect him to do it now. Walking silently through the narrow tunnel, Panda said through the chat channel, "It's really beyond my expectations!"

"After all, he is also one of the supreme rulers of the Federation, and there are still many capable people under him. "If you wait for the catapult to get its way, you'll lose a lot of morale." It's better to be the first to do it, whether it succeeds or not, in short, it's your best. ”

Sean said, "What do you think of this duke...... What is he capable of?"

"Who knows? He doesn't show much in the game anyway. Panda replied, "In the game, Norma's defense line has fallen, and his entire family has been killed by Iron Blood, and there is no follow-up. ”

"It's unimaginable...... This majestic fortress, these soldiers who have fought for many days, and two marquis and a duke...... It's all dead......" Sean seemed a little sentimental, shook his head and said, "I hope this time, we can change their fate." ”

"Their fate has changed. Panda said, "Even if we fail in this operation, even if the Norma defense line cannot be defended, at most it will be defeated." There will definitely be no tens of thousands of troops wiped out like in the game, and there will be no massacre in the Norma region in the game. ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Sean's face: "So, our actions are just?"

"Justice?" Through the chat channel, you can also feel the irony of Nate Huck, "There is no justice in war!"

"How is it unjust to resist aggression?" asked Sean rhetorically.

"Why do you care so much about 'justice'?" Skye asked.

Sean was silent for a while, and said, "I'm a soldier, and for me, fighting for justice is the foundation of my life......"

"Isn't it the duty of a soldier to obey orders? I remember there was a saying that 'if the army has ideas, it is a great evil to the country,' right?" said Knight Hack.

"The army does not need ideas, but the military does. Sean immediately replied, "A soldier must understand what he is fighting for, and be able to believe that he is on the side of justice, so that he can exert all his strength." The so-called "soldiers are just weapons and do not need thoughts" is just a layman's assumption. Why is it that the soldiers of our country can brave earthquakes and typhoons and always rush to the most dangerous places at the first time, but the armies of other countries cannot do it? Why is it that when a disaster strikes, our soldiers will strive to give, dedicate, and sacrifice, and the armies of other countries will not reluctantly set off until an order is issued? When it comes to equipment, we are not more advanced than them, and when it comes to training, they are not worse than us. The real gap between them is in their ideas. We have thoughts, and they don't. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" asked Panda in surprise.

In fact, the armed forces of all countries in the world, at least those of powerful countries, are working hard to strengthen ideological education. But we are the only ones who can really do a good job and really make soldiers believe that they are fighting for the people and justice!" Sean said solemnly, "I care a lot about whether I fight for justice and whether I fight for the people, this is my foundation as a soldier!"

"You're all out of the army......"

"Although I have taken off my military uniform, I will always be a soldier!"

Naikhardt, who had been raising the bar, finally had nothing to say, and then Yunero, who was listening silently beside him, finally spoke, because of the lack of magic power, he only said three words.

"Well said!"

"Well said!" said the panda, giving a thumbs up.

"It's a good thing to say, but the battle must be won. Skye stepped forward and found another topic, "I really didn't expect that there would be tunnels under the Norma Line......

"This is probably the biggest secret of the Norma Line, and perhaps only Duke Norma knows. The panda said, "I don't know if you have noticed, but there is a thick layer of dust on the ground here, and it can be seen that no one has cleaned it for a long time." I even suspect that from the time it was built until now, we were the only ones who passed through here. ”

"Perhaps...... At the very least, it shows that it's stealthy enough to reassure us. ”

"Well, if it weren't for this tunnel, our death squad would be a death squad. With this tunnel, it can be called an 'adventure', not a 'death'. ”

At this moment, Yunero suddenly raised his hand, and everyone immediately stopped.

This was discussed before departure, no matter who it was, as long as they heard the wind and grass and raised their hands, everyone immediately stopped and stood on guard.

Amid everyone's puzzled gaze, Yunero walked to a corner and looked down for a moment.

Then, in a very low voice, he said, "Someone came here not long ago, and it's a thief. ”

The crowd was awe-inspiring, many of them may be illiterate, but there is definitely not a single fool, in this secret tunnel, there were thieves not long ago, no matter how you look at it, it will not be good news.

"What to do?" asked a strong man in a low voice that didn't match his appearance.

"The matter has come to this, there is no way to go back!" said the panda, "There is no way to turn back, we have no other way to go except to move forward, smash that catapult, and build the fortress of two gold coins!"

"Maybe we're overthinking. A big man with a golden beard touched the magic sword he had just gotten, and his eyes showed a look of thought, "If the Thracians had discovered this tunnel, they would have come here long ago." These traces may have been left by our scouts. ”

Everyone nodded, and some of the worries and uneasiness that had arisen before because of the traces of someone coming were also forcibly put aside by them.

Regardless of whether his guess is right or wrong, but as "Mr. Bear" said, there is no choice when it comes to this point. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you can only rush through it head-on, and do your best to break into it!

They are all first-class warriors, each of them has killed a lot of Thracian elite soldiers, more than a dozen people join forces, as long as they move quickly, there is still a great hope of success.

After making up their minds, everyone moved on, even faster than before.

Anyway, if it is possible to be exposed, then everyone has already been exposed, instead of being cautious, it is better to speed up the pace, maybe you can still play fast and slow, and take the lead!

The sound of messy and hurried footsteps echoed through the tunnels, just like the anxious mood of the crowd.

At the entrance of the tunnel, the middle-aged man looked at the dark tunnel worriedly, his face full of unease.

"Will they succeed?" he asked.

The officer next to him was silent, and intellectually thought that the death squads were just sending them to their deaths, but for some reason, his intuition told him that they had a good chance of success.

Finally, he sighed and said, "If they don't succeed, we'll have to retreat." ”

"Retreat...... The gold defense line is lost. ”

"We still have a silver coin defense, and we also have a copper coin defense. ”

"The Thracians can build a giant catapult once, a second time, a third ......"

In the silence, only the sighs of the middle-aged man echoed.

"Now, we can only hope that they succeed. ”5310
