Chapter 543: Honor Ideal
The snow showed no sign of stopping, and the two armies confronted each other, letting the snowflakes fall on their armor and the wind howling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you observe this confrontation from a distance, you will find that the army under the hillside is in an offensive position, the formation is neat, and their armor is very new.
Because this is the latest type of armor that has just been built and has been divided for less than two years, it has a bright color and flowing pattern.
This represents the highest casting process of this era, and of course it is only from the point of view of mass production, all of which can be called sophisticated.
Their weapons are sharp, such as axes, which are as clear as snow and have a blue spiral pattern on the surface of the axe.
If a knowledgeable craftsman sees it, he will definitely recognize that it is a casting technique that has been lost since the last dynasty.
And not only the skills of building, the requirements for steel are also very high, and there is also a need for sufficient furnace temperature for quenching, which is very expensive.
However, this kind of weapon is equipped in batches in this army, and even the Aries Dynasty, which is known for its wealth, may not be able to come up with such a skill.
The composition of this army is mainly composed of young men in their twenties, who are strong, strong-blooded, and unstoppable.
In addition to the young and strong, for every 20 people, there is also a veteran who is 30 years old, which is a typical old with the new.
It not only ensures the impact of the army, but also ensures the resilience of the army, which belongs to the best age structure, that is to say, whether they are personnel, equipment, or even formation, they are definitely elite, even the veterans of the griffin legion who are above the top, are secretly amazed by this.
They can be regarded as people who have seen some of the world, and how many tragic battles have they experienced since the last dynasty change war?
How many brave and combative armies have they seen? Even though they are now on the opposite side of these fellows, they have to admire that.
However, the griffon legions that dominate the hillside have many blacksmiths, but they lack high-quality iron ore.
This directly leads to the fact that their equipment is simply shoddy, and there is no way to compare with the enemies below the mountain, and the age is in the structure.
Veterans over fifty years old accounted for more than half, and they had the spirit to kill the enemy, but the substantial gap was in front of them.
Even though they have what they are most proud of, which is the honor that Raymond bestows upon them, their faith, the pillars of their lives.
But it was also under the series of questions of the young duke that they began to waver, and they had never doubted this, and had been so for more than twenty years.
He said...... Have we been deceived by His Majesty Raymond? What are we kidding, His Majesty trusted us to keep us here. ”
"That's right, this is the throat of the Empire, if you don't trust us, how can you give us such a vital place? ”
"But what if we weren't here, we would have had a piece of land, we could have a peaceful village, our children and grandchildren ......"
The veterans looked at each other after a long silence, and even if some remained firm in their inner determination and never wavered, others began to reflect.
"I've always been absolutely not right, why do we have to stay in this poor place, I want to get out of here and go outside. ”
"I don't want to be a soldier, I want to be a bard, I want to go and see all the places in the epics. ”
"Brother Ethan often praised me for my good drawing, saying that I would definitely become a painter in the future, but I couldn't find a teacher here. ”
The young soldiers began to talk to each other, their relatives were not far from them, and they were questioned by the young duke.
Where do they still have the will to fight, they are all full of doubts about their lives, their lives should not be trapped in this griffon fortress.
"My lord, their formation is very loose now, should we take this opportunity to attack? ”
As a professional soldier, Crouff quickly seized this excellent opportunity and whispered in Lin Ye's ear to make suggestions.
"No, this is the time for them to choose their own fate, we must not take advantage of the danger of others, no one can act without my orders!"
Lin Ye gave an order in a deep voice, he knew that if he launched an attack now, he would definitely be able to annihilate all the griffin legions and successfully complete the hegemony.
But at the same time, he was also soberly aware that in the case that the strength of the army did not occupy an advantage, it was bound to be difficult to advance too far by relying on force alone.
Moreover, even if he can kill all the way to the royal capital, this is also contrary to his original intention of sending troops, and the free and new world he wants.
It is not a high-pressure rule under the hegemony of power, if he can't achieve his wishes, he will only be in a corner of peace, or even if he eventually dominates the world.
What is the difference between that and those tyrannical kings in history? The meaning of his second life is to realize that grand ideal blueprint!
"This war is meaningless, I don't want to fight, you have to fight yourself, I'm going back, this glory doesn't belong to me at all. ”
After a brief period of noise, one of the young soldiers began to throw down his weapons and trot down the hill.
"Sal, what are you doing? Come back quickly, you are a soldier of the Empire, a member of the Griffin Legion, you can't do this, you come back to me!"
Monte shouted at the young soldier, who had grown up watching the imps and be able to call out each one by name.
"Sal went back to reunite with his sister without making it difficult for him? I don't fight anymore, I just want to go home now!"
Another soldier who was on the sidelines saw Sal hugging his sister smoothly, and then dropped his weapon and ran down.
"I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life, that honor doesn't belong to me, I still have a dream to do, I still want to be a singer. ”
"Forgive me, Lord Monte, I'm sorry that I would definitely choose the former over flesh-and-blood ideals and empty honors. ”
"I can't let my mother worry, I'm going back, Uncle Raul, let's go, we have no reason to fight here. ”
More and more people laid down their weapons and walked down the hill, and the griffon army collapsed and disintegrated with a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You bastards, have you forgotten your sense of mission and responsibility as a soldier, why are you doing this!"
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around him, Monte shouted in a hurry, not only the young people, but also many veterans who looked at each other and left.
