034: Welcome to the Battlefield!
The vegetation of this dense forest grows exceptionally vigorously without civilized activity, and the drying out of the tide in the cold of winter provides ample conditions for burning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The flames that had been burning from the northeast spread rapidly in an instant with the fierce east wind, turning the forest into a land of fire.
“fire”
“fire,ho!”
Strange babbling cries came from all directions, and the orcs, despite their bravery, were not yet invulnerable, on the contrary, because of their unfinished beastly nature, they were more afraid of fire than humans.
The raging flames forced them to put down their prey and hurriedly run in the direction where there were no flames, and the pressure on the Silver Soul Army suddenly decreased.
"It's Kane!"
"Captain Kane! Look, thank goodness, we're saved!"
The sound of crying with joy sounded one after another, and in the direction where the flames spread, a swordsman squad that maintained a triangular charging array was rapidly approaching this side.
The growing flames had already turned the area into a sea of fire, and the scattered orcs had to retreat beyond the dense forest, and the team easily broke through and quickly approached Jason and them.
"Doro, take your men to the northwest corner, Lieutenant Jerry, go and help them with them, and bring them here when they repel the enemy!" Kane announced the order in an orderly manner, and the formation immediately radiated to all sides, joining the nearby team members who were still fighting.
The addition of this new force immediately caused the small remaining siege of the orcs to collapse, and the remaining swordsmen were quickly concentrated in the clearing.
"Son of a bitch! Come on, bastard!"
Jason in the distance was still in a frenzy, desperately urging his fighting spirit, waving the long sword in his hand that had been curled up for a long time, chasing the orcs who fled one after another, and even about to chase into the fire.
"Jason!
"Ahh
"Let go! I'm going to cut down those bastards!" he struggled like a mad dog, completely devoid of his usual etiquette.
Kane didn't know what had happened to make him like this, but now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, seeing that he was about to lose control, he hurriedly raised his hand and slashed at Jason's neck with a blow, his body fell down with the softness, looking at the muscles that were still beating, it was obvious that his strength had been overdrawn to a serious point.
"Take care of him" handed Jason to Luo Yan, who had caught up with him, and Kane came to the middle of the clearing, glanced at the broken team, and sighed, "Retreat." ”
Leading the remnants of the army, Kane quickly moved to the south of the dense forest, retreating into a ravine that had been selected earlier, although it deviated from the march map, but compared to the dryness outside, because there was a tributary of the Rhine River running through it, the overflowing river water seeped down the mountain wall from time to time to form a shallow swamp, which could effectively stop the spread of flames.
Finding a relatively high ground that had not been eroded by the river, Kane stopped his advance, and the next step was to count the battle damage, bandage the wounded, and calm his emotions.
The situation of the Silver Soul Army is very bad, and it lost 76 members in this battle, close to one-third of the entire team, but because most of the time it was on the run, there were not many actual battles, but there were fewer wounded, except for Jason, who was seriously injured, the rest were basically lightly wounded, which is good news...
It's just that compared to the physical damage, the current state of mind of this team is the worst, and the previous battle has left them with indelible psychological scars.
Dejected and numb, this is a little better, the sound of crying and sobbing is endless, and a female swordsman knelt on the ground, her hair scattered, and screamed in panic:
"They're too strong! they're going to die! we're all going to die!"
"I'm going home, I'm going back, I'm missing my dog, woo..."
There are countless voices like this, and the already bad mood of the players becomes more and more depressed as these emotions spread and infect.
Kane knew that he could no longer let it develop, or the team, which was already on the verge of collapse, would collapse completely.
He walked to the center of the crowd, raised his voice, and said, "Be quiet, everyone, be quiet." ”
It didn't work out very well, but Kane knew that patience was needed, and he continued: "I know you are terrified, and I can relate to it, as if you have walked into a room where you can't see your fingers, and the only door is closed, and wherever you go, you will be bruised and bruised. ”
The crowd gradually quieted down, and the crying female swordsman finally stabilized her mood under Luo Yan's comfort, and everyone looked at him.
Kane sat down on a raised rock next to him, unbuttoned the two buttons of his neckline, and tried to make himself as relaxed as possible, he put on a slight smile, and continued: "Everyone knows that I am a graduate of Saint Laurent, honors, and seeing that I am the first to learn the combat skills taught by Chief Zax, in your eyes, you may think that I am a genius, but in fact, few people know that this genius was reduced to a prisoner and captive of the orcs not long ago. ”
"What?"
"No... Wouldn't it?"
Kane's words successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, they only knew that Kane had been on the battlefield and had excellent performances, but they had no idea about this history.
"Black history, it's a shame, you are not allowed to say it, otherwise I will kill you all when I go back!" Kane pointed to their serious words
"Haha"
"Poof"
The humor soothed the atmosphere, and one soldier laughed and muttered in frustration, "We... Can we go back?"
"Of course!" Kane replied in the affirmative without giving everyone a chance to discuss the topic, and he smiled lightly, "Am I just coming back?"
After a pause, he continued: " At that time, I was like you, the first time I went to the battlefield, I was not afraid of your jokes, I didn't even draw my sword, the battle was over, our squad was wiped out, they all died except me, and then I was taken to a dark stone cave, I was very scared at that time, because everyone knows that orcs are cannibals, and they are not picky eaters, and I was thinking at that time, will they start with my ankles, or from my thighs, whether they will cut my arteries and throats first and let me die, or will they just set up a fire and barbecue and make me unrecognizable...”
"Oh my God, I don't want to be barbecued, I don't want to be unrecognizable!" the girl who had been crying before suddenly screamed and interrupted, covering her pretty face with a disgraced face.
"Orcs like to eat the meatiest places, and they will eat your chest first," said a soldier next to him
"Rascal!" the female swordsman blushed and kicked over
This little episode seemed to lighten the atmosphere a little more, Kane smiled, and continued: "Flirting with colleagues, you should be punished for forty laps, I will write this account for you first." ”
After a pause, he continued the topic above: "I was so afraid of torture that I was dead and alive, I even thought about killing myself, but I couldn't, those damn guys took all my things, including the bracers with the portrait of Lord Geraint, which I have treasured for many years, hell!"
"The one issued by the Purple Gold Rose, Captain, I have a whole set, I'll send it to you back. A soldier said
"Well, yes, I accepted your bribe, and I'll take credit for you. Kane touched his jaw and continued, "But that's not the point right now, is it?"
After a pause, he continued: "I can't run and I can't run, I can't die, and just when I was desperate, I found another girl trapped in the cave. ”
"Huh?"
"Oh!!"
The soldiers' eyes lit up.
"And then?" one of the soldiers hurriedly asked
"What's the matter with your meaningful expression?" Kane said with a smile on his face, and after a pause, he continued: "That girl was crouching in the corner, crying incessantly, looking so pitiful, and when I saw her, it was as if I saw another version of myself, and I was thinking, oh my God, is this me? What the hell is wrong with me? Am I still an Imperial soldier? What about my dignity? What about my glory? How come now I see a lowly wretched, a coward with no courage to speak of!"
The soldiers looked ashamed and did not speak again.
"I was thinking that it would be better to die if I lived like this, and since I had nothing to fear from death, what was there to fear?" Kane said, looking at the soldiers' eyes that were getting brighter again
After a pause, he continued: "Then we escaped, and then in the ruins of the fortress I also killed one of their orc leaders, Luo Yan can testify, my medal and my rank were also obtained from this, and when I remembered everything, I finally understood that there is no point in being afraid on the battlefield, you can return to the bed if you are not afraid, you can not pray that the enemy will let you go, and it is not that cowardice can be exchanged for a way to live." ”
Speaking of this, Kane stood up, raised his hands and said: "On the contrary, only by overcoming the fear in your heart can you survive on the battlefield more, I hope you can understand, and at this time, I think you must also understand, when you understand, you are a real and qualified soldier, an imperial soldier! And at this time, in the face of war, you will be fearless, you can laugh out loud, open your arms, and tell every recruit"
"Welcome to the battlefield!"
"Rustle..."There was a faint rustling sound, and Jason, who had fallen into a coma not far away, woke up at this time.
