Chapter 394: Much more important
So Atum grinned: "Go back, follow behind General Roland and General Leonidas, they have a lot to learn from you." ”
He did not reprimand Rowell, nor did he directly point out his mistakes, but persuaded him to return to Roland and them, which he had also experienced in his youth, confused and overwhelmed.
Although he also grieved for the group of civilians, war is like this, there are no outsiders, and these civilians are just as good as the soldiers on both sides, they are victims of interests.
"I ......"
Rowell opened his mouth, he was a little embarrassed, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Leonidas before, and he didn't know how to get along with them when he returned.
"Go back and apologize and admit your mistakes, they are not the kind of people with small stomachs. Atum still knows his child very well, and he knows what he's thinking when he looks hesitant.
Hearing this, Rowell's face flushed again, nodded awkwardly, and then got up to leave.
"It's still too young. ”
When Rowell left, Atum sighed faintly, he didn't sit in this position because he was sympathetic to civilians.
On the contrary, he killed many competitors to get to this point, and he didn't know how many innocent people died in the process.
A few days later, under the command of Count Hicks, more than 800 civilians cried all the way, and were driven by a group of soldiers to slowly advance towards the walls of the Baria Pass.
Among these civilians were not only old men and women, but even some children who were waiting to be fed, but the Earl of Hicks still brutally drove them into battle.
Or rather, it was all Cecil's arrangement, and he had become paranoid and unscrupulous in order to recapture the Baria Pass, because this plan was originally applied to Sandra.
This cruel scene was unbearable for some of the soldiers under Earl Hicks, let alone those stationed at the Barria Pass.
For example, Rowell has been anxiously moving his gaze to Roland, who is full of solemnity and unbearable, the meaning is self-evident, although he has figured it out, but he still hopes to see Roland order to save these innocent people.
It's a pity that he is destined to wait for the results he wants to see.
"Lord Roland, you can't let these civilians get close anymore, there are a lot of archers in the army that is holding the civilians around!"
At this moment, a soldier ran over and anxiously prayed to Roland.
The soldier was already in a state of confusion, and he asked himself if he could aim his bow and arrow at the unarmed civilians.
But if these civilians were to approach the walls, the thousands of soldiers in the Barya Pass would be in danger.
It's just that before Roland could respond, someone had already solved this troublesome problem for him.
"The Spartan warriors obey orders!"
Leonidas's grim voice echoed across the city walls, attracting everyone's attention.
"Spear throwing!"
Rumble!
The heavily armored Spartan warrior neatly drew a throwing spear from his back, and his eyes were coldly aimed at the civilian team in the distance.
Suddenly, the eyes of everyone on the city wall changed when they looked at them, didn't these people have a trace of sympathy, and at the same time, there was a chill on their backs.
At this time, the civilians in the distance had also noticed the change on the city wall, and the cries in the ranks were louder, but unfortunately it did not shake the steely hearts of the Spartan warriors.
At the same time, the hearts of the enemy troops outside the city also felt a chill, they wouldn't really want to shoot this group of civilians, right?
"Listen to the civilians outside the city, stop your progress at once, or we will show no mercy!" Leonidas did not immediately give the order to attack, but shouted loudly.
It's a pity that his words are destined to have little effect, because those civilians feel that if they go forward, maybe the compatriots on the city wall will not be ruthless and there may be a trace of life, but as long as they stop, the soldiers behind them will definitely not show mercy.
Before life and death, all people are selfish, Leonidas they are the same, and these commoners are the same.
"Don't blame us. ”
Roland muttered softly, so that he might not even be able to hear what he was saying.
Seeing that the group of civilians not only did not stop because of their hanging ears, but advanced faster under the urging of the enemy.
Seeing this, Leonidas's eyes became cold, and he roared angrily: "Attack!"
Whew, whew!
There was a huge cracking sound, and hundreds of spears whistled down the walls, mercilessly stabbing into the civilian population, because there were hundreds of enemy soldiers mixed in, and Leonidas did not know how many archers among them, so it was impossible for him to ignore the threat of these people.
Suddenly, there were screams and curses from under the walls, and the civilians denounced Leonidas's brutality before they died.
reprimanded him for why he didn't care about his own life and death, and cursed him for not dying well.
But Leonidas didn't hear this, his purpose was to clean up these civilians, although it would deal a blow to the morale of the garrison at the Baria Pass, but it was much better than making them dare not take action against the civilians.
There is no room for error in the Baria Pass.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Seeing that Count Hicks' plan had failed, a man who looked like a general immediately drew his sword and shouted at the city wall.
Sure enough, as his voice fell, hundreds of enemies and even some soldiers disguised as civilians took out their bows and arrows and shot wildly at the city walls.
"Archers!
Leonidas's eyes were cold, and a throwing spear came out of his hand and pierced the general in an instant, and then turned to the group of archers who didn't know what to do and gave a loud order.
"But...... Checkmate...... The civilians ......," one of the archers hesitated.
"I say, release the arrows!"
Leonidas's eyes were full of anger, if this commander continued to be like this, he might have to change the commander himself.
"Yes! General!"
Suddenly, under the desperate eyes of the surviving civilians, a rain of arrows rose on the walls of the Baria Pass, and soon after, all the civilians who approached the walls died from the spears of the Spartan warriors and the arrows of the archers.
Or they all died under the orders of Leonidas, and without civilians as a protective talisman, what followed was the most brutal fight between the two armies.
However, after this war, Leonidad's "cold-blooded" name was about to spread throughout the kingdom of Lopez.
"General Cecil, it seems that your plan has failed. ”
In the barracks of the Earl of Hicks, he looked at Cecil Shun sitting in front of him with a cold face.
"Failure?"
Cecil scoffed, "No, no, no, how could we have failed? Jason's reputation is much more important than this Barria Pass. ”
