Chapter 717: Fighting for Whom
Under the persuasion of Odyssey, Bishop Gregor of Light finally dispelled the idea of attacking lightly, and the two armies faced each other from afar across the Misty River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Over the next few days, the soldiers of the Light Crusade began to cut down trees and build improvised boats to cross the river, waiting for the heavy rain to stop before preparing to cross the Misty River.
The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, seeing that the Crusaders were temporarily inactive, began to build fortifications on the other side of the river, and both sides were making final preparations for the final decisive battle.
Everyone knows that the long tug-of-war of the previous three months will finally come to an end here, and this decisive battle will be decided here no matter what, and it cannot be delayed any longer.
This brief stalemate lasted for about ten days, and although the soldiers were given a brief rest, everyone knew that the peace would soon be broken.
As soon as the heavy rain stopped, it was time for the war to officially begin, and in the past few days, the rise of the river has slowed down significantly, and the flow has been stable.
"We're here to fight, why don't those guys come over quickly, cut them all down early, and go home early. ”
"Since I came out to fight, the food is not as good as in my hometown, but I am thinking about the pot meat in the restaurant in Shuguang Town, tsk, it is so fragrant. ”
"But they all say that the rain hasn't been so heavy lately, especially the river, it's not so turbulent, and they'll be attacking soon. ”
"With their weak appearance, I can cut down ten of them alone, and then we will have more heads than anyone else. ”
The orc soldiers were roasting around the fire in the camp, but it was still raining outside, and the ground was wet, and they were also poor because of their rough skin and thick flesh.
The broth was simmering in a pot made of firewood, and various potions were added to it to ward off the wind and cold, and the orcs had been here for more than ten days.
They were very dissatisfied with the battle that had not started for a long time, after all, they had just retreated from the front line against the elven army and rushed here again.
With the elven army Zhuyu in front of them, the opponents of these crusaders are no different from weak chickens in their eyes, no wonder they will underestimate the enemy.
"However, I heard that the Duke has appeared on both the Eastern and Southern Fronts, and the Combined Fleet that invaded the Eastern Bay of the Empire has been defeated, and the Federation Army has also withdrawn. ”
"Sure enough, he is worthy of the Duke, as long as he goes out, there will be no uneven battles, and what he said at that time seemed to be to join us on the Western Front, right?"
"Now that the news of the victory has arrived, the Duke should have been here too, but there has been no movement for several days. ”
The orc soldiers were full of suspicion, but they didn't investigate too much, and soon fell asleep under the blowing of the evening breeze, which was a little cold.
It is also thanks to their rough skin and thick flesh, coupled with the fact that the environment in the Far East is already harsh, there are very few sick people, but the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army are more sick.
But the medicines brought by the doctors were also effectively controlled, and the soldiers fiddled with the "crackling" fire and yawned.
"I really don't know when I'll finish the war, I really want to go back early, I signed up for a crash course for an apprenticeship in a paper mill. ”
"I made an appointment with the girl to go on a date, but when there was a war, I followed the army south, and I didn't go back for more than half a year. ”
"Maybe your girl forgot about you and went on a date with someone else, right? ”
"Fart, she's not that kind of person, she's absolutely absolutely going to wait for me to go back, you see when I don't believe it!"
"Maybe my son will be quite old by then, don't beat me, whether we can go back alive or not is still a matter of words. ”
The human soldiers drank the broth as they discussed the topic of war, and occasionally someone brought up the topic they usually avoided.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, and the sound of rain could be clearly heard outside.
"How normal it is to die in battle, didn't we have this consciousness a long time ago, so we chose to join the army? And before I came to the Far East, I was just a junior apprentice that no one could look up to.
"If it were somewhere else, I would be obscure in this life, serving those nobles for a lifetime, but since I arrived in the Far East, no one dislikes my incompetent, no good background, everyone works together, talks about ideals, and I have a little savings step by step. ”
"There's even a girl who wants to date me, which I couldn't have imagined before, and my bleak life can one day bloom with such brilliance, if my parents are still around, they will definitely be proud of me, right?"
"Since the Far East has given me so much, it is time for me to reciprocate, and it is a very honorable thing to be a soldier in the Far East, and I have received several letters from girls lately, and we are fighting for a better life for them. ”
"Besides, our monthly salary is not low, compared to others, we are not too lucky, and under the command of Lord Duke, we have won many battles, as long as we all work together and obey Lord Duke's command, there will be no disadvantage!"
A young soldier stepped forward to cheer his companions, and the atmosphere that had been somewhat stiff suddenly eased, and the gloom was swept away.
"Yes, we are fighting to make everyone happier, and at the same time for ourselves. ”
"Speaking of which, I also received a letter from a girl I had not chased, she said that she could not imagine that I, an ordinary person, would have the courage to join the army, and if I could go back alive, she would promise to marry me, and when I saw the letter, I almost fainted with happiness. ”
"Then you kid must go back alive, you can't cheapen others, we can all survive, let's work together, this war will definitely be our last laugh, no one can stop us!"
The soldiers were in high spirits and began to cheer and jump, but at that moment someone suddenly noticed something strange on the surface of the river.
"Look over there, there's a lot of fire on the river, what's going on? Are they going to attack in the night?"
"The river has suddenly dropped quite a bit in the last few days, and it is not so turbulent, did they see this opportunity to try to surprise us?"
"Everyone hurry up and prepare for the battle, we must not let them succeed, we must block them, and act quickly!"
The soldiers realized that after ten days of silence, the Light Crusade had finally chosen to launch a surprise attack that night.
They immediately put on their helmets, took up arms, quickly lined up, and the war finally began.
