Guangguang sighed and said, "I knew now, why bother in the beginning." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoDon't you know, come out and mix, sooner or later you have to pay it back. In the face of Rhodok's elite, these motley armies are not just chopping melons and vegetables. ”

As we spoke, several more scarred knights ran in front of us, their weapons gone, their armor gone, and their bloodbathed clothes. I could see that they were still a little disciplined despite their injuries, and I could even tell that they were moving in a formation that I didn't know about. Maintaining a formation when fleeing for his life is not an idle person to rush this point.

Guangguang also praised and said: "Our army of Rhodok is good at everything, it has to be long-range, long-range, melee and close, and the only thing lacking is cavalry. In the entire continent of Calradia, our cavalry ranks second-to-last, just above the nord's riding apes. The quality of these riders is quite remarkable, and at a glance you can know that they are senior, and in our Rhodok army, at least they can lead a cavalry team of more than 100 people. ”

A thought raced in my mind, and suddenly I jumped out of the woods and stretched out my hand to stop them.

Guangguang was startled, and they were also obviously startled, and one of the riders subconsciously touched his waist, but his saber was estimated to have been lost on the battlefield, and this touch was only empty. The rider in the back saw the armband of the temporary captain I showed at a glance, reached out and grabbed the hand of his teammate in front of him, and said, "My own people!"

The rider in front looked at it and suddenly realized, "It's Captain Emmons!"

I noticed that his teammates had forced over from the left and right wings before, faintly forming a flanking momentum, and I couldn't help but admire a little while nervous, these guys are really good, even if they see their own people, they can always be vigilant, not only do not rush off the horse, but also the formation is not chaotic, and even can cooperate according to the situation.

The rider in front turned over and dismounted, and said, "Subordinate Parker, the former captain of the guard under Captain Mangna, has been working under Captain Vicente. Captain, why are you here?"

Mangna's former subordinates, who were supposed to be my subordinates, looked in the direction they were coming from, and it seemed that chaos was just beginning to emerge. I waved and said, "This is not the place to talk, come with me." Then, I led them through the dense jungle by the side of the path to the place where the light was waiting for me.

Parker's eyes lit up when he saw the cavalry commander lying on the ground in a drowsy state, and said, "It's Enslezer, he's still alive!"

I said, "Yes, he's badly injured, but he should be fine now." You tell me in detail about the current situation of the team, it is impossible for a squadron to be wiped out within an hour, and not a single one of them escapes, right?"

Parker helped the scabbard on his waist, but he felt empty, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Squadron Leader Wuke fled with some of his men and retreated in the direction of Talbolia, but I heard that there was also a battle there. Captain Vicente and a squad or two of cavalry covered your 400 infantry retreating south, but we were pursued by mysterious forces, and we were routed when we followed Captain Vicente's countercharge. The other side seemed to be very experienced in dealing with cavalry, and even Captain Vicente did not please him. The last news I got was that more than half of your 400 infantry were killed or wounded, but they had already dispersed to break through, and as long as you escaped from the first batch of pursuits in this dense forest, you would basically have escaped. However, the whereabouts of Captain Vicente are unknown, and a few of us broke through on our own after being defeated, so we agreed to meet near Fort Rende, and then turn northeast through the village of Biglen to the north, to a place called Half-Step Mountain near De Herrim. ”

I was stunned, but Guangguang asked first: "Who gave you such an order?"

Parker said: "The order given to us by Captain Vicente, he said that if he got separated, he would follow this route and assemble near Half-Step Mountain. He didn't say why. ”

Just looked at me, I knew what he meant, I am afraid that Vicente was not simple, and he did so after getting the evacuation arrangements I had left for the four centurions, and as for whether he was doing it for a piece of the pie in the future for some possible benefit, or simply to escape for his life, or to play another big game of chess, I do not know.

I had an idea, looked at Parker, and said, "Did you meet the pursuers?"

Parker said: "Yes, but their cavalry is not strong, and it is easy to be dumped by us"

I shook my head: "You probably met the pursuers of the mysterious armed army, in case the pursuers of the Swadia Empire appear to intercept you, you will be in danger." ”

Parker nodded gloomily.

I said, "The north and south ends of the Al Deg Valley should be in chaos by now, and everywhere is dangerous. The purpose of that mysterious armed force should be very clear, that is, to encircle and suppress us, you will not be able to escape blindly like this, and most of you will be hunted down by the forces guarding the outskirts of the woodland. But the chaos could not last long, as it was too close to the capital of the Swadian Empire for the Palauvens to sit idly by. I guess there will be movement in the direction of Paravon tomorrow at the latest, and if there is no escape before then, this area may be trampled by the troops of the Swadian Empire. I can think of that, and the mysterious forces that have defeated you must also think that they are unlikely to conduct a long-term search, and that they will be withdrawn from here by tomorrow at the most. At that time, the army of the Svadia Empire had not yet entered here, and there would be a short vacuum in the forces here, and this vacuum period would be our chance to escape smoothly. ”

Parker hesitated, "But there are a lot of brothers who have run away, and they may not think of this. ”

I said, "Therefore I have to work hard for you, five of you, and search horizontally, and gather the scattered brethren, and when I see each of them, tell them what I think, and say to them, Let them come in my direction, but they must arrive before tomorrow, after which the way out will be death." It's less than ten miles from the edge of the jungle, and it's also the border between the kingdom of Rhodoc and the Swadia Empire, and it's a sensitive area that is best suited for us to break through. Tomorrow, I will command you to seize this vacuum and escape together. ”

Parker looked at his companion behind him and nodded: "I know, the more forces we concentrate, the easier it is for us to escape, and the more scattered we are, the less we have the power to fight back." We will go looking for the brethren and will bring them back here by tomorrow!"

Parker's companions nodded firmly.

I said, "Thank you, and remember that by tomorrow, the more brothers you will bring back, the better!"

Parker and his companions mounted their horses, and two of the knights even ran back in the direction they had come. Guangguang stood beside me, watched them disappear into the dense forest, and after a while, he said, "You want to take the opportunity to gather them as your own strength, right?"

I didn't look back, smiled, and said, "As you said, I don't have a good name now, and I don't have a backer, so it's even more difficult to stand on my own...... But there is only one circumstance in which people will come to me, and that is when they are at their most desperate, and I give them hope. The loyalty cultivated in this situation is stronger than any oath. ”

Guangguang didn't speak, and after a long time, he said, "I now kind of believe that you might really succeed." But until then, I'll be looking forward to it. ”

Night had quietly fallen, and the southern Eledeg forest district, which had been tossing all day, had regained some calm at this time, but in the direction of the Eledeg valley to the north, there was still a faint firelight, scorching the cold and heavy iron plate of the ceiling, and there were faint shouts of killing mixed with the wind drifting over. The feeling of me being sheltered less than ten miles from the edge of the wooded area, watching it all was somewhat mysterious.

I said, "Guangguang, guess how many people were killed today?"

Guangguang thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case in the north of the Eledege Valley, there must be one or two thousand people in the forest areas at the north and south ends of the valley." The situation on Talboria's side is not yet understood, and if Harongosburg is still watching from the sidelines, it is better to say, if they are also planning to close the door and fight the dogs, then maybe the 15th Brigade will be removed. ”

I smiled, feeling a little heavy. In the blink of an eye, one or two thousand people, and possibly more lives, were lost in the dreary light of fire and shouts of killing.

Guangguang said: "Sentimental? This is not the quality of an ambitious person." ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm just thinking if it's worth it to kill thousands of people in order to recruit a few hundred men for myself." If I had told them early on at the beginning that this could be a trap, or just pulled them away, would it not have been where it is now? ”

Guangguang laughed out loud and said, "Don't be stupid, people are like this, if you don't touch the nails, it's useless what you said before, you have to touch your head and bleed before you can understand." That's why I say that dream of yours is so unrealistic, that in order for people to believe that it will come true, they must all be baptized with iron and blood before they can understand. But I can't say a good thing, you are not ruthless enough, your hands are not hot enough, and you are not bold enough. ”

My heart moved slightly, and I saw it very accurately, and hit the nail on the head.

I was about to say something, but Ensleezer on the ground suddenly groaned, and he woke up slowly, and he opened his confused eyes, and it took a long time for his eyes to focus on my face: "Team, captain, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

I smiled and said, "You can press the wound yourself and see if it hurts." ”

The corners of Ensraeser's mouth twitched immediately, and he hissed, "Hey, don't press it, it hurts already." ”

I smiled and said, "When you were unconscious, I met Parker and his men, and they are now going back to contact the other brothers, and they will meet here tomorrow, and then we will break out together." ”

Ensleezer nodded, his face a little gloomy, and I knew that he thought of his brothers again, and said, "Take it easy, the sacrifice of the brethren will not be in vain, they have given their lives for that common dream, for the better tomorrow of Calradia." We who are alive must inherit their will and use our hands to realize their dreams, so that we will not fail the blood of our brethren. ”

There was a brief yearning and distraction in Enslezer's eyes, and he suddenly looked at me and said, "Captain, can the dream you said really come true?"

I smiled and said, "As long as there are dreams, it is possible." Without dreams, it will never be possible. ”

I don't know which nerve was touched by this sentence, and Enslezer's tears fell again.

Guangguang suddenly pulled me nervously: "Listen, what kind of sound is this?"

I was stunned, and I faintly heard a strange sound in the wind, which sounded like the flapping of wings.

Why does this word come to my mind?

I looked back at the source of the sound, to the north, in the direction of the Eldego Valley, where the flames were still burning tenaciously, scorching the icy night sky.

"Could it be some kind of youkai?" asked Enslezer weakly.

Guangguang snorted with some disdain. Ensreezer himself seemed to feel a little ridiculous, and smiled embarrassedly, but he pulled the wound, and the corners of his mouth twitched with pain.

I, on the other hand, felt a familiar and intimate feeling approaching, this feeling of steadiness, safety, and stability, made me extremely relaxed, even a kind of lazy feeling, and I almost wanted to yawn. I don't feel this feeling for more than 20 years, a bit like the warmth I felt from her nervous gaze that seemed to be domineering and domineering, but in fact suffered from gains and losses when Yexiu wanted to recognize me as her godson.

Yes, warmth. But warmth is only part of it, in addition to warmth, there are many, proud, proud, noble, honorable, down-to-earth, stable, persistent, and restrictive......

I felt like I already knew what was close to me, the name almost swirling in my throat, about to spit out, as if it had been buried in my soul for more than twenty years, just waiting for this moment.

What is it!

A familiar wind blew in his face, followed by the sound of huge wings flapping overhead. It was as if a huge dark cloud was hanging over us. Guangguang's eyes were straight, he opened his mouth wide and looked up in a daze, even Ensreezer on the ground forgot about the pain and looked straight at the top of his head.

And I closed my eyes. By the time that familiar wind blew in front of me, I already knew what it was. At that moment, a name that had been bound in the depths of my soul for more than twenty years suddenly broke free from all obstacles and jumped into my mind at once. So much so that for a moment I was even speechless at this fact. I always thought I was ordinary, born in an ordinary farmer's family in Buyoune; when I became an adult, I became an ordinary bard, singing, dancing and telling stories to people for a few dinars; even if I was recruited by Edgar into the mountain base and discovered some of my military talents, I felt that I was just an ordinary person with some special skills; even if I was later adopted as a righteous son by the legendary character, the former Dark Saintess, and the price of my head exceeded the million mark, I thought that God must have made a mistake。 It was only now, when the name and the epic memories behind it came to my mind in an instant, making my whole person seem to float lazily, that I was finally truly sure: I am not an ordinary person.
