Chapter 542: Soldiers' Admonitions

The huge team was slowly moving forward, although the officers in the team were not only scolding, trying to get the soldiers to speed up. But the soldiers always looked listless, and they couldn't tell that they had been repaired for three days before.

What is a little strange is that the formation that pays attention to strict and standardized rules is inexplicably bulging out on the right. As if they were afraid of some taboo, the warriors spontaneously vacated a large circle, and in the middle of the circle were three carriages moving alone.

General Liston looked at the sight with anxiety in his eyes.

"This can't be done, if it continues, the troops will be dragged down. He said worriedly to the old General Jetton.

"Phew, it's all the fault of those black-robed people, if they hadn't come up with such an evil thing, how could the morale of the army be so low. General Jetton scolded hatefully.

Hearing Jetton mention the word "black robe", I don't know how many bloody battles he has experienced, and Liston, who thought that his heart was like a stone, couldn't help but shudder. The tragedy that happened in Shining City that day couldn't help but resurface in his mind.

Killing each other, like the soldiers of the Kingdom Army who died together in the Colosseum, gnawing at the corpses of their comrades, thirsting for flesh and blood, monsters called "living people", like slaughterhouses, full of blood and flesh.

And the dead eyes of those corpses, the kind of eyes that Liston will never forget. There is no bravery in the face of death, no glory in sacrificing one's life for the country, not even numbness of indifference, there is only bloodthirstiness, madness, and despair.

The initiators of that tragedy were the black-robed Northern Magic Troupe, and the alchemy items they made were like the plague that the gods had descended on humans to punish them, bringing endless pain and death.

Liston could understand why the warriors were so afraid, saying that heaven was on the left and the warriors were on the right. Warriors may not be afraid of death, but they do not want to die a tragic death without reason, without honor, without merit, even like a wild dog.

"Liston, if I have an accident in the future, my wife and children and family can get rid of you and take care of one or two. Suddenly, without warning, Jeton spoke to Liston in a deep voice.

Liston was taken aback, "How can you say such unlucky things as the Great War is coming!", he exclaimed in a low voice, "stop thinking nonsense, you know that you are the commander of this army." ”

Jetton shook his head, "Liston, I'm not talking about this war. ”

"Then you just ......"

"It's our new duke, Liston. You know, I've always been suspicious and distrustful of him, and I swore allegiance to him only because of Lord Reinhardt's last will. ”

"I kept convincing myself in my heart that Lord Reinhata could not be wrong, maybe I was prejudiced against him. However, after witnessing the magic group he built up single-handedly concocted such a tragedy, I can no longer turn a blind eye. ”

"Even in war, such bottomless behavior cannot be tolerated. Even as warriors, we have a bottom line, we are human! Not machines, not monsters! Liston, you should understand what I'm talking about. ”

"So, you're going to ......", Liston was startled, and the tacit understanding of his partners for many years made him see the danger and determination hidden in Jeton's eyes.

"Yes, I will counsel the sir. If I insist on going my own way, I'll use the means of military advice!", Jayton said strongly.

"Why is this the case! When the time comes, things will not be harmonious. You are a traitor who will be written into the history books! Liston advised.

"But it could also be a hero who is celebrated. Jayton smiled, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, old partner, you don't need to persuade me, I'm determined." I could never have watched this army and watch the North become the burial object of that man's ambitions, or else ......", Jetton pointed to his military uniform, "What is the use of me wearing this military uniform?"

"You, you......", Liston shook his head, knowing that once the man in front of him made up his mind, he would never change it easily, not to mention that he had entrusted his family to himself.

"Is this the destination you chose? Old fellow, the final place of the warrior's death is the battlefield, is this the battlefield you chose?"

"You guy, you're really a pure soldier. ”

Liston didn't know what to say for a while, Jetton smiled and punched him, "Old partner, shouldn't you be crying? ”

Liston laughed and scolded, "Who would be sad for you, old bastard, don't put gold on your face." ”

Jetton laughed and said, "As the saying goes: good people don't live long and live for a thousand years. I still have a chance of succeeding, how can an old ruffian like me die so easily. Besides, this is all for later, why don't I have to wait until after I capture Shenghui City, otherwise it will cause a mutiny among the troops. ”

"Capture Shenghui City?", Liston frowned, "This is not an easy task, although the royal family's several major armies will not be able to catch up for a while, but their background in Shenghui City cannot be underestimated. ”

"This is natural, in terms of the difficulty of attacking, I am afraid it is even more difficult than attacking Shining City. Jayton said.

"Do you want to use the magic group again......"

"Never!", Jeton denied categorically, "I've made it clear to that Bent guy that they will never be allowed to use that alchemy item again. ”

"You can try it with those dwarven siege weapons. Liston added.

"Those weapons are quite powerful, but judging by the battle examples of Shining City, they will be restrained by magic. As far as I know, Emperor Grievous has his own court magic group, which is a big problem for us to attack the Holy Radiance City. Jayton said.

The two of them were discussing the attack on Shenghui City, when suddenly a guard approached and reported, "My lord, there is an urgent order from the north. ”

"Oh, bring it. Jayton was very surprised, it's all at this juncture, what kind of tricks is the new duke going to do?

"How?", Liston asked eagerly as he waited for Jetton to finish reading.

"Pass my order, let the soldiers stop their advance and take up their positions!" Jayton ordered.

"What's the matter? Radiant City is right in front of you!", Liston was surprised.

Jetton shook his head, "It's the Duke's handwritten order, he has already led reinforcements to approach, and ordered me to wait for us to be stationed on the spot and wait to join him." ”
