185: Condition
This army Edson knew that it was the army that attacked Ashing City a few days ago, and seeing that they had now lost their armor and had low morale, Edson's eyes suddenly lit up.
Could it be that they have suffered defeat in the city of Akhin?
At the beginning, the Temple Guardian Army and the Buck Principality sent a total of almost 50,000 troops, but now they have only 20,000 back, and the 20,000 elites of the Buck Principality have not returned.
"Immediately send cavalry to Axin City to investigate the situation. Edson immediately decided that when the two armies were dispatched, he sent spies to Raul to persuade Raul to retreat, and Aslan had not yet arrived at Ashing City.
The city of Axin, a city that is not very prominent in the hinterland of the empire in terms of geography and economy, has become the focus of the Baiyun Empire for nearly a hundred years, and many key decisions related to the future development of the empire have been conveyed from here.
After the war, Prince Kira began to ask his soldiers to tidy up the battlefield, after all, there were so many corpses piled up on both sides of the city wall, it would not be good if there was a plague.
"Aslan, we really don't need us to sort out the corpses of your soldiers in Flying City, we can help you cremate them together and bury them outside the city, many soldiers who died in previous wars are buried there. Prince Kira said.
Aslan shook his head and said, "I hope to bring back the ashes of our soldiers in Flying City, because this is our tradition in Flying City, and it is also my promise to them, whether they live or die, I will bring them back to Flying City." Give them a good burial. ”
"If you think so, that's up to you. To be honest, as a soldier, it is their blessing to have a lord like you. Prince Kira said and walked away. The war had just ended, and there were still many things he needed to deal with.
"Lord of the Castle. At this time, Handini came over, and he was almost mummified with a lot of gauze.
"What's going on, I've taken care of everything I've explained. Aslan asked.
Handini nodded, and he said, "The casualties have been counted. In this battle, there were only more than 200 people left in our musket company, and the ammunition was still very sufficient, and the explosive bags had been used up. There were only more than 3,700 people left in the swordsman battalion, and the cavalry platoon was complete, and when they were defending the city at the end, Lord Zhao Yun did not let them play, so that they kept holding their breath, and now their emotions were a little excited. ”
"Nearly 2,000 soldiers have been sacrificed, and their corpses have been sorted out. Aslan said in a somewhat heavy tone.
"Get ready, I asked the soldiers of the old general Trebecca to get some firewood, and I have piled up a wooden frame in a corner outside the city for our soldiers to cremate. Handini's tone was also filled with sadness,
"Okay, let's go see off our comrades for the last time. Aslan walked in the direction Handini pointed.
When Aslan walked to the fire, he found that the soldiers of Skyland had gathered around, and despite their injuries, they were still supported by their comrades.
Aslan looked at the piled up corpses, he picked up the torch next to him, and said: "I know that everyone's mood must be very sad, but I want to tell you loudly that these comrades who died are all heroes and our bravest soldiers. We have defeated 50,000 enemies with more than 5,000 men, and right on this wall, we have made the prestige of the Flying City officially sound. But in the same way, we are all very sad about the departure of these comrades-in-arms, and here we will send our comrades-in-arms on their last journey, according to our habit of flying to the heavenly city. Aslan said, throwing the torch in his hand into the pile.
"Brother, go all the way. ”
"Brother, go all the way. ”
"Brother, go all the way. ”
............
The raging flames burned here, carrying the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in Flying City, burning together.
"Lord of Aslan. At this time, Tribeca walked over, he looked at this scene and his heart trembled, he had never seen a city lord lord do such a ritual for his own sacrificed soldiers.
"Handini, you watch here, wait for the fire to be extinguished, collect the ashes of our comrades, and we will bring them back to Flying City. Aslan walked over to Tribeca's side,
"Yes, sir. ”
"General Rebecca, what are you looking for from me? Aslan asked as he walked.
This old general of the empire is the only remaining old general of the previous generation of emperors of the empire, and he is proficient in all kinds of marching formations, and now many generals in the imperial capital are his disciples, but when the imperial capital army went on an expedition, most of the generals followed the side of the eldest prince, and those who stayed in the imperial capital were some young generals who did not have any war experience, and these young generals basically occupied the position of general before they occupied the family Yu Meng, and now such an important war, even if no one is available, Prince Kira does not dare to use them, so he can only invite the old general of Tribeca out of the mountain.
Rebecca looked at the soldiers of the Flying City who had never dispersed over there, and he said, "Lord Aslan, you have treated your soldiers really well. I don't know how you trained such a soldier. ”
"Yes. These are just the habits of our Flying City, it's not a big deal, they are all soldiers of my Flying City, they are fighting with me, in this case, of course I want to let them go in a beautiful way, instead of just burying them in that mass grave. Aslan said.
"Well, you are really a good city lord. Actually, I came here to ask for your help. Rebecca said, although according to his official position, he was far superior to a small lord in the imperial capital, even if he was a member of the Sara family, but he respected the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"You say?"
"Now you should see the situation of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, the former army vanguard general has not had a suitable candidate, I have recommended you to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I know you are very tired, but I also hope that you will lead your Flying Army and the Imperial City Janissary Army to reinforce the Great Prince for the sake of the empire. Rebecca's face was full of shame and shyness.
The dignified Imperial Military Department did not have a suitable candidate to be the general of the vanguard army, and in the end, a lord and a magician had to be invited.
Aslan nodded, without hesitation.
"Yes, when to go. ”
Originally, Rebecca still prepared Aslan's words when he refused, but when he saw Aslan agreeing so simply, he was stunned for a moment.
"But I have one condition, I hope that the second prince can promise me to wait for my battle to end, so that I can get to know and contact Amenon closely. ”
Rebecca followed Aslan's gaze, and Amenon, who was nearly twenty meters tall, listened quietly, his eyes becoming solemn, not knowing how to answer Aslan's conditions.
"Yes, I agreed. ”
