Text: Chapter 12: The Story

Indeed, in a war of more than 100,000 people, the strength of the high-level attendant level is only enough to protect oneself. Locke went on to say that he and the rest of the men were fighting the Charlottes on the left plains of Gordon Heights under the leadership of Uncle Joshak, and that the beautiful plains of pale yellow had turned into a sea of dark red blood and corpses, and that the war was not over.

On the first day, their team was reduced by two people, and on the third day, there were two fewer people... By the end of the week, there were only four people left in Joshak's team. All the servants died, even the third-class soldiers were dead and disabled, and the remnant one was because the team was in the hinterland of the battlefield, and everyone couldn't bring him back to the rear, and after gaining his consent, Uncle Yoshak did it, giving him a good time, and there was no need for prisoners on either side, and everyone knew this... Rather than being tortured to death after being captured, it is better to cut it yourself.

In the later battles, although there was only one private with three third-class soldiers left in Yoshak's team, their combat effectiveness was still there, and the tacit understanding was higher when there were fewer people, and several people did not lose their strength in the later battles.

War is war after all, full of uncertainties, and after a month of non-stop fighting, all the armies were scattered, and the vast Gordon Heights carried more than 100,000 men and corpses. While Locke was on duty at night, their camp was raided, and during the scuffle, Locke was unable to return to the camp to join Uncle Joshak.

The perennial night marching and fighting and the young body gave Locke a good night vision, but that night, he preferred not to have this ability himself, because there were dangers everywhere, and there were many enemies who came to raid, and Locke could not see the end of the sea of people, he fought and retreated, ran and ran, and by the next day he didn't know where he had been, and there were battles everywhere. Locke joins a nearby warband...

In the evening, after a day and a night of raiding, the enemy withdrew, Locke sat on the ground with the soldiers who were also on Faustin's side, and by the campfire Lott inquired from his comrades that he had run to the area of operation of the Tigers, but they were also scattered, including the 2nd and 3rd Legions of the Tigers, and even a few of the Logistics Corps.

Of course, most of them are members of the Tiger Legion, and there are also many people from the Eagle Legion and the Wolf Warrior Legion. After everyone fought together for a whole day, and after cleaning up the corpses of their comrades and settling the wounded soldiers, a total of more than 200 people, under the call of the only captain at that time, sat down to eat together. Locke stayed up for a day and a night, and after two sips of broth, he fell into a deep sleep.

There is a little advantage to not having your own direct chief, you don't have to be on duty at night, the chief doesn't know you. There were daily battles for the next few days, and of course Locke could not leave the group to find their battalion, so more than two hundred people, under the leadership of the captain of the Tiger Legion named Foss, had lost contact with the military headquarters by this time, and the carrier pigeons had long since died, and they did not know where to send to get battle orders, and Captain Foss led them to the center of Gordon Heights, that is, where the Lion Legion was located.

The Lion Legion is the ace legion of the Kingdom of Faustin, and the place where they fight is also where the decisive battle is about to be fought. The reason why Locke's improvised force had to come was that after so many years of war, everyone was bloody, and the cowards had long since died. Second, if they leave the team for more than 20 days, they will be judged missing.

Missing is only better than deserters, needless to say, deserters, after being sentenced, their families are reduced to slaves, and after being caught, they are beheaded at the gate of the barracks to sacrifice the flag. The disappearance was a small compensation for the family, firstly because the nobles did not spend money if they could, and secondly, because the military department could not determine whether the missing person had fled, been captured, or died.

In short, most soldiers cannot be separated from the army for too long in this situation, especially those who are from civilian backgrounds. Locke had been in the army for two years at the time and knew this. It's a big deal, Locke thought more than once. After all, the pension received for the war death is enough for a family of three to starve to death for five years.

In the late autumn of 1345 in the O'Moore calendar, in a corner of the central plain of Gordon Heights in the western province of Charlotte, a 3,000-strong Faustan army and a 2,000-strong Charlotte army fought against each other.

The battle had already begun, and the total number of 5,000 men, nearly a legion, had created this flesh mill, which surrounded the other side with a numerical advantage, and the supernatural forces that seemed to be more numerous than the other side were also supporting. 5,000 men were killed to less than 3,000, and at this time there was no obvious distinction between friend and foe on the battlefield, and everyone was fighting with his nearest enemy, slashing with his sword, stabbing with his sword, biting with his teeth, doing everything, everyone stained with blood, his own or someone else's.

The first thing Locke's makeshift team saw was this scene, and Captain Foss, who led the team, immediately stimulated his fighting spirit, instigated his horses, and led them into the battlefield.

Such a large group of people appeared, and the commanders of the two armies found out that the Charlottes were originally struggling to support, and almost all of them were determined to die when they saw the enemy army coming to reinforce them, because everyone was fighting and could not withdraw at all, and there was no way back, and the Charlottes became more fierce without scruples, so the war heated up even more. And the commander of the Kingdom of Faustin is the commander of the Third Corps of the Lion Legion, a high-ranking knight squire-level powerhouse.

His Third Corps and Charlotte's troops fought back and forth in Gordon Heights for half a month, this was an excellent opportunity to erase the vitality of Charlotte's army, as a high-level he knew that the Kingdom of Forstan had one more province than Charlotte Kingdom, and its national strength was stronger than Charlotte, and there was a two-year drought in the country, and civilians could not eat basically, so they could only come to eat military rations, and recruiting troops was not a problem, so the high-level of the kingdom planned to forcibly eat the Charlotte Kingdom.

Don't look at the Third Corps led by him, more than half of the casualties, but as long as he eats the enemy on the opposite side and breaks up their numbers, he has merit. He was overjoyed to see this reinforcement of unknown origin, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In fact, according to the practice of normal veteran oil, it should be that when encountering a melee of this scale, you can slip your feet, but after being discovered by the two parties, it is not the case, the Charlottes thought that the enemy army was coming to reinforcements again, and they rushed towards them instead of fighting the trapped beasts, and the commander of Faustin's army was also happy to reduce his losses and lead the enemy to Locke。

Sure enough, at the moment when the two armies fought, the situation became a one-sided situation, on one side was Charlotte's ace division of a hundred battles, and on the other hand, there was a temporary miscellaneous army, and they had known each other for less than a week, and they didn't dare to rest assured that they would hand over their backs to others, and everyone fought separately, becoming fish and meat on the board of Charlotte. As for the Fox Squadron Leader, he was the first person to collide with Charlotte's army, and the fighting spirit gave him more strength, which also gave him a stronger reaction force, and after holding out for a short time, the head that flew more than five meters high should have been his.

The boss was killed, the team of more than 200 people was knocked down layer by layer like cutting wheat, Locke was in the center of the team, he watched the high head of the temporary captain fly up, and watched the comrades around him fall one by one, Locke had been in the army for three years at that time, and there was no less blood on his hands, and the few people who had killed could also make up a ten-person squad, before he killed others, and now it was someone else's turn to kill him. Although he has long stopped taking life and death seriously, he still can't be so calm in the face of death.

The ace army is really the ace army, although the battle has been fierce for half a month, the combat effectiveness of Charlotte's wolf army is still not to be underestimated, and the commander of the third corps of the lion legion feels that it is almost the same, and with a wave of his hand, he led the corps guards cavalry team around him to rush forward.

Locke's current situation is not optimistic, more than 200 people were killed by the Charlottes and less than 100, the commander of the Wolf Warrior Legion is also a high-level knight squire-level powerhouse, he took the lead in leading less than 300 people under his command to break up Locke's formation, and the captain of the Fox team at the mid-level knight squire level was pulled by him and cut off his head.

At this time, the commander of the Third Corps led more than 700 of his troops to surround the Charlottes, yes, the Third Corps was using Locke's sudden foreign aid as bait.

Kill, kill, Locke frantically brandished his iron sword, this kind of hand-to-hand combat is not suitable for using a spear, his spear was thrown by him just when he just fought, Locke knew that his people were surrounded, he didn't dare to retain his strength, let alone stay in one position, he fought and retreated, he didn't know where the hope of life was, he just needed to live longer than others.

Even after being surrounded, this improvised team still burst into its own potential, and more than 100 people actually formed a circle to block the desperate attack of the Charlottes, and Locke was close to the main battlefield of the Wolf Warrior Legion and the Lion Legion at this time. This is also the outermost area of the battle.

Locke's strength can only be regarded as mid-stream in this team that has been put together temporarily, or even inferior. He doesn't have a lot of strength, but he has a good brain. He knew that it was useless to hide in the innermost part, it was just a little later to die, this group of Charlottes had red eyes, and they didn't care about their injured offensive posture, which was definitely not something that their temporary team could resist, and now if they wanted to live, they had to run to a place where there were many people on their side.

Naturally, instead of running in a place where there are many people surrounded, running outside the encirclement, only by rushing out, can we see the hope of life.
