Chapter 626: Welcome to Hell (2)
It's clear that Lancer Link isn't alone in thinking of this.
Therefore, even if the number of these remnants is more than ten times that of the soldiers on the other side, and all of them are adult men with strong bodies, because of the poor health, they have already run to death on the way to escape.
But the remnants of the soldiers still followed the order and stopped their advance, even if it was really just a charge, they could solve the weak chicken team in front of them, who had never seen blood, and the old coffin board.
In desperation, a voice full of grief and indignation among the remnants of the army shouted loudly: "Why is this happening, we shed blood and tears for the empire, we are tired and hungry, we have suffered heavy casualties, we have a chaotic system, why don't you let us in, we also want to live." ”
Such a desolate and angry roar completely spoke the saddest voice in the hearts of all the remnants: they have already done so much for the country, for His Majesty the Emperor and those noble lords, and now they just want to rest and recuperate, and then live, even if they live like lowly weeds, is this not enough?
The reaction of the soldiers on the other side was very strange, and it stands to reason that such a sincere expression should have aroused the strong sympathy of the other party, and a few days ago it was the strong sympathy of ordinary civilians.
As a result, Link clearly saw that the faces of the soldiers on the other side, including the elderly sheriff, only a little sympathy, more numbness, the kind of numbness that looked down on everything, had no hope, and was more silent than dead.
After a brief silence, the old sheriff finally spoke, and his words became somewhat kinder: "You are miserable, children, but soon you will know that it is nothing compared to the situation here; ”
"From now on, you will join my team and stay here with us until ...... I don't know how long I'm going to hold on. The old sheriff continued.
At the same time, he pointed to Link with a spear, "From now on, you are their head, at least among so many people, I can see that you have not lost your weapon." ”
There was no objection to this abrupt and strange order, because they were all the same big-headed soldiers as Link, and as for the officers who were still commanding them at the time of the breakout, they had already ridden their horses, and they did not know how many days before them.
The sudden promotion, and the senior officials in charge of more than a thousand subordinates, but such a good thing did not make Link have many surprises.
On the contrary, Link, who had been an ordinary farmer a month ago, felt a little helpless, and after a moment of sluggishness, he carefully asked, "My lord, can you let us rest and eat something at the same time, we haven't eaten for at least two days." ”
As if a difficult decision had been made, the old sheriff pondered for a while before he replied, "You may rest by the roadside, and as for the food?" I have someone prepare a little for you. ”
As soon as the old sheriff's words came out, the remnants of these soldiers who had been marching for a long time seemed to have been drained of their strength, and they collapsed on both sides of the road......
After waiting for about half an hour, several large cauldrons of gruel were carried over, and the newly baked officer Link, together with his men, staggered towards the cauldron and found that this should be the thinnest gruel they had ever seen in their lives, and the oats in the cauldron seemed to be able to be counted clearly.
However, regardless of the temperature of the hot mouth, after drinking two bowls of gruel in a row, his stomach was still growling, but Lord Link, the officer, finally felt that he was alive again.
At the same time, he carefully sent it, and when these remnants of them were desperately pouring hot gruel into their mouths, whether it was the old sheriff or the half-sized children under him, they were all subconsciously swallowing their saliva, very envious and yearning.
"Is the situation bad here? And why not hurry across the sea to the Jose Empire. Link pulled the old sheriff aside and asked in a low voice.
Perhaps because he didn't have to pretend to be inexplicably strong in front of many of his subordinates, the old sheriff finally put down all his pretenses, smiled wryly and introduced the current bad situation to Link.
"Cross the sea to the Jose Empire, kid, stop this ridiculous idea! Although there were those monsters in the deep sea before, attacking the ferry, it was not serious, it was just a ten-way ship, and it looked like a ship would have an accident. ”
"However, when everyone came here with His Majesty the Emperor, planning to cross the sea on a large scale to the Jose Empire, the attacks of those deep-sea monsters began to become extremely crazy, and two of the ten ships could successfully arrive, which was considered a blessing of the gods, and until now, it is said that there are not even a few intact ferries. ”
The old sheriff smiled bitterly like this, and said the news that made Link's whole heart suddenly fall into hell, this was the beginning, and then, the old sheriff's description made him understand why, just now the old man said the words 'welcome to hell'.
With no way out and pursuers behind, tens of millions of Allied soldiers and civilians were crowded in a place as big as Guo Xington, and the little food they carried was eaten in just a few days.
Soldiers like them, who were temporarily conscripted, still had a little ration every day, but the little gruel that could show the figure of a person just now was already a two-day ration for one hundred and ten people under the old sheriff.
As for the larger number of civilians, the contingent of women and children, no one cared about them, or even if they had the heart, they could not do anything, and there was enough food on the other side of the strait, dozens of miles away, but there was no way to transport it.
It is said that it is only a short time, and it is impossible to find two green leaves on the Cowsington Peninsula, and everything that can be eaten and what cannot be eaten has long been eaten by a crowd that is denser than locusts.
In this hopeless situation, human beings will always become unimaginably hysterical, and the ugliness and greatness of human nature will be completely and undoubtedly revealed at this moment after all the camouflage has been torn apart, and it is the place of horror and sin that is more terrible and evil than the abyss and hell among those common people......
That night, a group of more than 200 fishmen, after quietly going ashore, attacked Link's outpost, and the old sheriff was smashed in the head in the process of leading the crowd to resist.
The next day, Link was magically ordered to become the supreme commander of the outpost......
On the third day, Lord Link, who was already numb, picked up his sharpened spear and forcibly requisitioned hundreds of routed soldiers into his own team with a straight face, but he had no choice but to give these people a thin gruel.
At the same time, at the end, he did not forget to add to these people: "Child, welcome to hell." ”
