Chapter 554: Respects

Weapons are piled up on the snow, and there are constantly snowflakes scattered on them, and there is a great posture to bury them, and some of these weapons have been cast in recent years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is made of low-quality iron ore mined from nearby abandoned mines, and the pig iron smelted by itself is cast, although it is also sharp, but the toughness is very poor.

It is often easy to break if it can't withstand a few chops, and it's okay to deal with thieves or something, but if it really goes to the battlefield.

Such a weapon is very deadly, but there is no way to do it, after all, with their financial and material resources, they simply can't get better iron ore.

On the contrary, the quality of the weapons that look shabby is much better, and these are the weapons that these veterans have piled under their beds for more than 20 years.

They were all used on the battlefield back then, and they used to wield these weapons to chop off the heads of their enemies, winning victory after victory.

But people will grow old, and their weapons will also rust, and they will no longer have the edge of the past, and can only become cold and lonely under the cover of snowflakes.

On the hillside, the army of nearly 2,000 men was left with less than 200 men, all of whom were old and scarred veterans.

"In the end, we old brothers are left?Your Majesty Raymond, I, Monte, am sorry for you for not being able to protect the griffin legion, but don't worry, I, Monte, will definitely fight until the last moment, you can also go, the young man is right, there is no reason to fight. ”

Monte burst into tears, he raised his sleeve to wipe away the muddy old tears, smiled bleakly, and motioned for these veterans to leave with him, and there was no need to stay and die.

"No, Commander, we will accompany you to fight to the end, we should have died on the battlefield a long time ago, you saved my life. ”

"That's right, I'm also alone, I have nothing to worry about, even if I go back, I'm alone, it's better to fight the last battle with my old brothers. ”

"Those young people shouldn't have been buried with us, those old guys still have families, unlike us who are alone, and no one is wrong to understand them. ”

These veterans smiled bitterly, the wind blew on their old faces, their bodies trembled, but their eyes were extremely resolute.

The army below the hill had made its final preparations, the spears of the soldiers were as clear as snow, and the horses let out a low, restless neigh.

"My lord, it seems that those people are not going to surrender, what should we do, should we stop the attack or launch a final sprint?"

Roland rode over to ask, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the other party no longer had any combat ability, and it was all old people in their last years.

"What the hell are these old things thinking? It's all come to this point, they don't have the slightest chance of winning, are they bent on seeking death?"

Crouff gave them a blank look, and couldn't understand what these old men thought, they were at an all-round disadvantage in all aspects, and they didn't have to fight at all.

"This may be the last faith and destination in their hearts, although stubborn, but they are also admirable soldiers, fulfill them, so that they can be purified in their faith, just the highest respect to them, the whole army is ready, charge!"

Lin Ye looked up at the two hundred or so veterans on the hillside, lowered his head and almost gave the order in a roaring manner.

His voice was a little broken, if it were any other time, he would definitely stick to the last moment of the battlefield and not leave until the battlefield was cleared.

But today, when the soldiers were charging, he had turned his horse's head and rode away in the opposite direction.

Not only him, but also the soldiers of the Griffin Legion who had just come down from the hillside sighed and turned to leave, returning to the fortress.

No, from the moment they laid down their weapons and chose to leave, they were no longer members of the Griffon Legion, and they would soon no longer have that name.

They let go of the shackles that bound them, freed themselves from the so-called honor and fate, and they could not see their comrades die in battle.

It's not about betrayal, it's not about justice or loyalty, it's just about choice, about their future.

The sound of killing continued, but in Lin Ye's ears, the sounds of heaven and earth were all gone, and he couldn't hear anything, and he rode his horse alone.

He didn't want to give such a cruel order, and regardless of his position, those old people who were willing to die were very admirable.

"Sure enough, a lot of times there are things that have to be done, and you have to make choices, even if your heart is reluctant to do it. ”

Lin Ye smiled bitterly, there was a group of cavalry following him at a certain distance, this was the guard that Lancelot had arranged to protect him.

"There are so many good things in this world that have the best of both worlds, and you want to be a good person, and you want to achieve a goal that you have to sacrifice in exchange. ”

"From the moment my hands began to get blood, I quietly became an executioner, and my hands trembled for the first killing. ”

"But after doing too much of this kind of thing, even if you give such a cruel order, will there be no emotional fluctuations?"

"I'm afraid there will be more such things and orders in the future, such a lonely road, once you set foot on it, it will eventually come to an end. ”

Lin Ye buried his head very low, and the wind and snow were filled, but he knew that he couldn't wander aimlessly for too long, he had to go back as soon as possible.

Because even if the Griffon Legion is eliminated, there is one more thing to do, and that is that the Imperial Army is already on the way.

The Imperial Army, which had accurately judged their whereabouts and had come to the Griffon Fortress with the intention of flanking them on both sides with the Griffin Legion, was on its way!

Mites was fast enough, and although the six thousand cavalry under his command were light horsemen, they were all highly trained.

The combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the local army, as long as they advance at full speed to reach the Griffon Fortress before the Rose Army, then they will be able to win a great victory!

"We're about to arrive at the Griffon Fortress, everyone is ready for battle, we haven't seen the Rose Army until here, it's very likely that they have arrived at the Stronghold and engaged the Griffin Legion, and now is the time to launch a surprise attack on them from behind!"

Mites urges his men to speed up their march, and for him, this is the perfect opportunity to annihilate the Roses.

Although they did not have the advantage in numbers, the Rose Army was the lone army that had fought thousands of miles, and this army was too tired.

Under the onslaught of their cavalry, they will definitely collapse in an instant, and they firmly grasp the advantage!

"But sir, what if they take down the Griffon Fortress?

The adjutant was puzzled, and hurried for two days until he was about to arrive at the Griffon Fortress, and there was no shadow of the Rose Army, which inevitably made people suspicious.

If the Rose Army were to take down the Griffon Fortress, wouldn't they be ramming their guns?
