Chapter 407: Memories (Medium)
The first year of the Sacred Calendar, April 13.
Two humans, a man and a woman, are wearing cloaks and staggering on the border of the White Tiger Domain.
Although the White Tiger Domain is actually a place of war, it is no longer the place where humans used to settle.
In five months, the White Tiger Domain, which had only gotten a chance to breathe from the invasion of the Amber Demon Tide, suddenly attracted the violent invasion of the demon beasts, and countless brute beasts poured into the White Tiger Domain from the Eastern Plains, slaughtering all the human towns and cities along the way, and breaking through the first-class defense line that human beings are proud of with rapid momentum, and in just one and a half months, the four first-class towns and cities of the White Tiger Domain have all become dilapidated ruins!
More than 3 million human beings have been displaced.
However, this was not the most desperate thing for the people of the White Tiger Domain - the wave of barbarian beasts that launched a fierce attack for some reason, after slaughtering the four first-level towns and cities, actually launched a general attack on one of the four major cities of the human race, the White Tiger City!
That war became a nightmare for countless people.
The war raged for days, lasted for a full month, the 300,000 troops of White Tiger City entered the city to resist the brute beasts, and less than two percent of the survivors survived, and the six major Lang generals all came forward to resist the enemy, in the wheel battle of more than a dozen beast kings, four people fell, and what made White Tiger City feel even more disillusioned was that the city lord Eva they admired fought repeatedly, and finally at the moment of fighting with the eight beast kings, he was shot down by a black shadow that covered the sky and the earth, and he was seriously injured and unconscious.
At that time, everyone thought that White Tiger City was going to fall into the beast tide.
Then, three months ago, the civil and military performances that gathered the talents of the empire finally came to an end, and a total of about 16,000 geniuses from the four major cities finally stood out and returned to the attention of the public with amazing strength, becoming the new generation of young generals of the empire.
Then, the end of the civil and military performances finally brought reinforcements to the Battle of White Tiger City.
The 360,000 troops, exactly the same number as the original strength of the White Tiger City, were stationed in the White Tiger City at the most dangerous moment, and the army was called the Eastern Combat Group of the Holy War Army, referred to as the Eastern Holy Army.
The Supreme Commander of the Eastern Saint Army is a figure appointed by the Emperor himself, and is said to have originally belonged to the Empire's most mysterious organization, the Kurobe.
No one knows the true face of this person, and his face is covered with a tiger stripe mask all day long, and the soldiers of the Eastern Saint Army call him the head of the tiger!
Under the head of the tiger, there are six generals, all of whom are geniuses who stand out in the civil and military performances, commanding 60,000 soldiers respectively, and further down, there are dozens of Zhonglang generals and more than 100 Lang generals, all of whom are the best in the civil and military performances.
The appearance of the 300,000 Eastern Saint Army turned the tide of the battle in White Tiger City in one day.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month of the 224th year of the abandoned boat, the tiger head ordered one of the six armies of the Eastern Holy Army to go out of the city to fight, and the leader was one of the six generals, named Merlin, who led 60,000 soldiers to turn into a stream of metal and iron and rush into the battle before the brute beast could react.
With only 60,000 soldiers, it was nothing compared to the number of brute beasts in the beast tide, but they soon became a source of fear for the beast tide.
After rushing into the beast tide, the 60,000 sergeants turned into two, of which 50,000 elites gathered in the military formation, and burst out with a terrifying momentum to directly stop the low-level beast tide like a flood tide, even under the aura chain, the brute beasts could clearly perceive that the cultivation of these 50,000 human sergeants was all at the peak of the military level, reaching the level of a half-step minister.
Fifty thousand half-step ministers, under the role of the military array, how terrifying the power they exerted!
But the next moment, the brute beast understood what was truly terrifying.
The 10,000 sergeants who broke away from the military array did not receive too much attention from the beast tide, and the demon clan brute beast side only sent ten Beast Kings to intercept the leading Merlin and several lieutenant generals.
Seeing the appearance of the Beastmaster, Merlin held a wooden staff and hammered it to the ground, and a mighty stream of light instantly swept across the battlefield, spreading out a colorful field of light flow.
Magical powers, magic torrents!
The divine power from the newly promoted phase-level ability instantly filled the battlefield, and the fifty thousand half-step minister-level shouted in unison, and the vitality in the body was raised by one layer again, crushing the beast tide front that had invaded the city wall of White Tiger City, causing the pressure on the city wall defense to drop by nine points.
And the next moment, before Merlin was in the air, the six lieutenant generals behind him ascended into the air one after another, and the six supernatural powers unfolded together, forming a wall of supernatural powers to stop the ten beast kings.
Just as he was amazed that there were so many powerhouses of the human race, the faces of the ten beast kings changed color in the next moment.
I saw that the 10,000 sergeants who broke away from the military formation suddenly burst out with an astonishing aura, and the blood shook the sky, and there was an inexplicable connection between them, and the blood in their bodies swelled and surged, like a tidal wave, and they rose up together behind Merlin.
It turned out to be 10,000 minister-level combat power!
The ten beast kings did not expect that the power of the 10,000-level sergeants gathered within Merlin's divine powers, and swept the sky with lightning speed, catching the beast tide by surprise.
In that battle, two of the ten beast king-level brute beasts fell, and the beast generals were killed and injured countless times, and in the case of the defeat of the high-level combat power, the surging beast tide finally launched an order to retreat, temporarily stopping the attack on White Tiger City.
After this battle, Merlin has one more title - 'Magician'!
After the end of the 'magician's fame battle, the beast tide did not withdraw from the White Tiger Domain, but only lingered on the periphery of the White Tiger City's defense line, and in the following two months, it launched many attacks, but before the six generals of the Eastern Saint Army took turns to fight, they all ended in failure.
This is the biggest setback that the Dongyuan Beast Tide has encountered after entering the White Tiger Domain!
In the name of commemorating the White Tiger Army, the Eastern Saint Army killed a total of seven Beast Kings, and the bodies of two of them were brought back by one of the six generals, General 'Silver Light', and placed on the memorial platform in the White Tiger City, as sacrifices for countless White Tiger soldiers.
The Dongyuan Beast Tide was unable to break through the White Tiger City, but instead achieved the prestige of the Eastern Saint Army, and after two months, the beast tide like a sea tide finally retreated, withdrew from the defense area of the White Tiger City, and changed the combat policy.
They began the war of encroachment.
Before the Battle of White Tiger City, all the towns and cities belonging to the White Tiger Domain had been destroyed, resulting in countless fleeing homeless, a small number of homeless people fled to the area of White Tiger City before the beast tide attacked, or rushed across the border of the White Tiger Domain into the Vermilion Bird Domain and Xuanwu Domain, while most of the remaining homeless people were not so lucky.
The Dongyuan Beast Tide abandoned the White Tiger City, but did not leave the White Tiger Domain, and instead began to capture the humans who were still scattered in the White Tiger Domain as slaves, and began to build territories belonging to the brutes on the territory of the empire.
The White Tiger Domain has become the land of brute beasts!
Most of the human outcasts are ordinary humans who fled from various towns and cities, with low strength, and occasionally some survivors of the town guards or small families, gathered together to survive the capture of the beast tide, but their strength is limited after all, and most of them are reduced to the labor and playthings of the brute beasts, and even rations.
This cruel method successfully angered the humans of White Tiger City.
Then, a week after the Dongyuan Beast Tide receded, the four major cities received a decree from the imperial capital at the same time.
"With the reversal of the battle in White Tiger City as the boundary, the name of the empire will be changed, and the day when the Dongyuan Army kills the beast king is the first year of the holy calendar, the first day of the first month, in the name of this, the empire will launch a holy war, expel the brute beasts, and exalt the name of the empire to the barbarian star!"
The boat calendar was abandoned, and it was changed to a sacred calendar.
The first year of the holy calendar, the first day of the third month.
At the same time, the three major battle groups of the Holy War Army, the western, southern, and northern parts of the Holy War Army issued conscription orders in Qinglong City, Xuanwu City, and Vermilion Bird City respectively.
On the tenth day of the first month of the same month, the Eastern Saint Army set out on an expedition and began to wage war against the brute beasts that invaded the White Tiger Domain.
The Third Great War of Man, also known as the Human Holy War, began.
......
The man and woman walking on the ice field were silent, the man was a little burly, his cloak covered his head tightly, every step under his feet was dull and powerful, and a red rope was tied to his wrist, tied to the woman's right hand.
The woman didn't cover her face completely, but she still wore a veil, and the few strands of hair hanging between the cloak showed a pale red color, looking a little listless.
Gollum!
A strange sound came from the man's stomach.
The woman didn't think it was strange, smiled lightly, and said softly, "Are you hungry again?"
Looking up at the sky, the three red suns were hanging high, and it was already noon, but it was not hot in the White Tiger Domain.
"Well, no wonder, it's been an hour. The woman shook her head, then pulled up her red hair, took off the burden on her back, and said to herself, "I'll prepare food for you, and you can bear with it." ”
The woman took out some food from the baggage, looked left and right, and then pulled the man to a low hill, pressed the other's shoulder, and let the man sit down.
Then, the woman stomped her feet on the ground, and the cold and hard soil suddenly broke a small pit, and with a touch of her right hand, some weeds in the vicinity were emptied and thrown into the small pit.
Whew!
The small pit filled with hay suddenly burst into flames, swaying in the cold wind, but not extinguished.
The woman nodded in satisfaction, sat down by the fire pit, placed the food in her hand on it, and began to heat it.
Throughout, the burly man sat in a stiff position, motionless, and did not speak, like a puppet.
The woman stared at the food on the flame, her red eyes a little distracted, as if her thoughts had drifted away, no longer on the food in front of her.
Grunt!
"Yikes!"
The sound of the man's stomach came out again, pulling the woman's thoughts back, and she noticed that the food had been overheated, and the underside was a little black.
She hurriedly pulled the food out of the flame, put it in the palm of her hand and blew it, and only after a while did she look at the man embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue.
"I really can't be a cook!"
The man didn't react, just sat upright on the ground in silence.
The woman's smile faded, she sighed softly, and then lifted the man's cloak and brought the food to his mouth.
Whoop, whoa, whoa!
The man finally made a move, opened his mouth and swallowed the food handed over by the woman, chewed three or two times, and then disappeared.
