"In the eyes of many people, anger and hatred are negative emotions that human beings should avoid. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info but I don't think so, the reason why people have such emotions is often out of a sense of justice and love. Perhaps I should follow the example of philosophers and tell others: 'When you learn how to hate, then you also learn how to love'" - Quotations of the God of War

On September 1, 348 A.D., the Falencian reinforcements led by Thorgrande Luce finally arrived at the battlefield before the fall of Lancados. They immediately launched an attack on the enemy besieging friendly forces, and the 6th and 7th Corps led by Sogrend and Yeft quickly entered Lancados through the north and east gates. Under the assault of this new force, the various banners of the Iberian Army were defeated one after another, and they could no longer control the situation in the city.

Creyter finally saw his own people, and now he was only interested in saving the life of his captain.

"This is Genna Lanfonte of the Thirteenth Legion, we need a doctor, please take me to the Supreme Commander!" Kreyit roared as he grabbed a passing infantry lieutenant. The other party was startled by this young man who was covered in blood, sweat and dust, and when he heard Qinna's name, he immediately said that he would immediately send someone to take him to the prime minister.

"I'll come as soon as I go, you take care of the legion commanders, and keep an eye on them for a doctor." Kreit instructed the rest.

A few minutes later, Sogrend met the young lieutenant and learned the news of Chenna.

General Yeft watched from the sidelines, and the Prime Minister's face suddenly turned that lifeless gray-white, as if he was the one who was dying. No, it should be said that Sogrend could not have had such a desperate expression even if he knew that his life was hanging by a thread, and there were only very few circumstances that could make him so uncomfortable.

By the time Sogrend arrived at Chenna's side, several military doctors had finished their consultation.

"How's she doing?" Sogrend asked as he roughly dragged a medic over him.

"Prime Minister......" The military doctor was frightened by his actions.

"What the hell is going on? Say it. Thorgrande tried to slow his tone, but he failed.

"The arrows have dealt a blow to Lord Lanfangte's heart and lungs, and she has been able to hold on until now by some kind of willpower. Lord Luce, you'd better go and see her as soon as possible. One of the oldest military doctors on the side said a little nervously.

Thorgrande let go of his hand and hurried to his wife's side. When the soldiers saw his arrival, they all consciously retreated and formed a circle around them at a distance.

"Cenna, dear ......," called Thorgrande, holding his wife in his arms, tenderly.

Cena opened her eyes slightly, carefully examined Sogrend's face for two or three seconds, and then smiled, "It turned out to be Sog, you are finally here, and now ...... It's like...... It's the end of a fairy tale...... The same. ”

"Where will it be the end, our story has just begun." Sogre responded with his wife's smile.

"Thorge...... I had a good ...... this time Guarding your back. ”

"Yes, your mission is well done, very good."

"But...... Next time, I don't know who will ...... Can you help you for me......" When China said this, the people around her couldn't suppress their feelings and turned away.

"You will always be there for me, forever ......"

"Thorge, I'm a little cold, hold ...... Hold me tight," China squirmed and leaned into her husband's warm embrace.

"Okay." Thorgrande hugged his wife tightly in his arms.

"Thorge...... Rhine ...... "Chinna's voice gradually lowered until ...... Until they can't hear anymore.

Admiral Centra Lanfonte, commander of the 13th Legion of the Continent, stopped breathing in her husband's arms, but the legend of the Lanfonte family did not end there. For the Kingdom of Pharyncius, this is an irreparable loss. For Saulgrande Leuss himself, it was a turning point in his fate, a turning point for a lifetime of hatred. The striking similarity of the injuries suffered by both the father and daughter of Ranfonte's father and daughter as admirals and their final death led to some superstitious rumors, but it turned out that this "curse theory" could only be nonsense.

Thorgrande instructed his staff to move the headquarters to the Langcados public baths, and then picked up China and walked in that direction. The staff of the Thirteenth Legion dragged their bruised bodies and followed closely.

An hour later, all the senior commanders of the Farencian Army in the area had gathered for a meeting in the VIP lounge of the public baths in Lankados. Less than five hours after the Thirteenth Army was forced to withdraw from here, the Farencian army recaptured it.

The first item of the meeting was a report summarizing the fighting that had just ended.

The Fallensi Army, reinforced by the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Legions, and the Third and Thirteenth Legions, succeeded in regaining control of Lancados and routed the attacking Iberian forces, forcing them back 20 fats. Although it achieved a temporary victory and boosted morale, it did not deal a decisive blow to the opponent, and Iberia still maintained some strength.

This was followed by a report of losses, in which the XIII Army had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles. Of the 18,600 men involved in the battle, only 5,700 remain, 7 percent of whom have been wounded to varying degrees. Among the subordinate officers, one of the two generals was seriously injured and one was missing; Of the thirteen school officers, only one survived, Madge Landier. Of the 32,000 men of the 32,000 men who participated in the battle, more than 6,000 were killed, including more than 5,000 killed in the defense of Lankados. In addition, Officer David Yadan of the 45th Regiment was killed, Officer Di Rown of the 40th Regiment was seriously wounded (the unconscious Officer Rowan was found in the homes of local residents), and Officer Gustav Fersen of the 36th Regiment was slightly wounded (dug out of the rubble of a barricade). The heaviest loss of the 3rd Army was the death of General Rut Bass of the 8th Division. In addition, it is worth mentioning that of the five lieutenants of the Thirteenth Legion, only Xiuyunston was unscathed. Of the other four, Ispar was killed; Haas was rescued from the pile of corpses, but his left arm was forced to have his arm amputated; Grosslyn lost his left eye; Kreyit was also covered in wounds.

On the other hand, the Iberian Army used a huge force of 5,000 Hertz heavy infantry and 2,000 Zigner longbowmen, which may have totaled 180,000 men, and the enemy's losses in the offensive and defensive battles in the past half month are estimated to be about 30,000.

"I think it's clear to everyone that we've lost a lot of money this time." Saugland said with his hands clasped together and his chin propped up. "So there's only one thing we're going to do next, and that's a counter-offensive. The Iberians will know what it means to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth! ”

All the generals looked at the prime minister in front of them in awe, and even the generals of the Third Army Corps, who were familiar with him, also felt a little trembling. This has never been done in a previous meeting chaired by Sogrand, and it is not because they feel this way because they hear the news, but because the aura that Sogrerd is exuding at the moment is chilling. In the aftermath of Hollin's recollection: "We used to think of him as a friend of great genius and noble character, and on that day I was in awe of him as I was of Hasus. ”

Just as Sogrand was asking for an opinion, the herald arrived: "The King of Iberia has sent an envoy. ”

Everyone watched how Sogrand made the decision at this time, but they all thought in their hearts that this messenger was simply here to find death.

Thorgrande was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Please let him in." This made everyone even more worried.

A few minutes later, the Iberian envoy stepped into the room, and when he looked around, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, which made his whole body stiffen.

"What news has the respected King of Iberia sent us?" Sogrend asked coldly.

He ...... No, Your Majesty the King...... He greets you and ...... Then express condolences to the soldiers who died in your army, especially ...... In particular...... "Iberians" in particular, "did not dare to say what was going on, because no one who still had hope for life could jump up the mountain of knives by himself."

"What the hell is it?!" Thorgrande asked sharply.

"Especially when it is rumored that Admiral China Lanfonte has passed away." The envoy was so frightened that he said it completely.

"What else?!"

"Also, this is a war letter written to you by Your Majesty of our country." The Iberian shuddered and pulled a letter from his bosom.

Sogrend snatched it away, tore open the envelope and looked at it, a rather hideous sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Go back and reply to Ofritte, tomorrow's decisive battle!" Saugland said as he threw the parchment back.

As if pardoned, the Iberian envoy crawled to the ground to collect his letters and turned away. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard a chaotic noise behind him.

"Lord Luce!" Everyone panicked.

Curiosity made the Iberian turn around, and he was astonished to see the Prime Minister from Pharynsi with one hand over his mouth and the other on the table. There were a few bright red marks on the floor and tabletop.

Even the guards at the door didn't have time to take care of the Iberian, which made the envoy take a closer look before slipping out in a panic.

"Lord Luce, how are you?" Jack Fleet, the fastest one, picked up Sogre and asked with concern.

"I just bit my tongue." Sogrend lifted himself up as if nothing had happened, but he spoke without feeling unfavorable, "Are the Iberians gone?" ”

"It's gone." Hollin stood at the window and looked out and replied.

"It's not a good ploy, don't use it anymore." Thorgrande said to the crowd in a strange tone.

"So you're acting for the Iberian." Jack Fleet was relieved.

"Is it really just acting?" Hollin heard Singled beside him mutter.

Thorgrande pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his mouth, then sat down again, "Guys, let's continue our meeting." ”

Two hours later, after finishing the battle meeting, Sogre came to the door of a room on the north side of the second floor of the public bathhouse.

"Lord Luce." Showinston, who was guarding the doorway, immediately saluted him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sogrerd patted him on the shoulder.

"No...... It's all useless for us......" Xiuyunston hung his head.

"It's not your fault, it's not." Thorgrande said slowly, "Don't talk about this, have you done everything I told you?" ”

"It's all done, Captain Wingnast's wife is still inside, you can go and meet her."

"Captain Inglett, please stand this last shift for your legion commander." Thorgrande saluted Shoverston.

"Yes, sir!" Xiuyunston solemnly returned the salute.

Sogrend pushed the door open and entered the room, and Arubelich's wife, Janis, looked up to see him.

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's nothing, that's all I can do." Yanis's eyes were also red and swollen, "Gina is really beautiful, I just helped her wash her body and change her clothes, and she didn't need makeup or anything at all." ”

Thorgrande looked at Gina lying on the chaise longue, death had not detracted from her beauty in the slightest, her face still tinged with that pink flush. Aside from putting some lipstick on her, Yanise did little to touch up. Her face was scrubbed, her hair was recombed, and she was dressed in the military uniform of a female officer. From a distance, it looks like I'm just asleep.

"Let me be alone with her for a while, okay?" Thorgrande whispered to Annis, but kept his eyes on Ginna.

Annis knew that Saulgrande didn't need her answer, so she just curted her knees and walked out quickly. When she walked out of the room, her husband, Arubelleshi, was waiting for her at the door, and he watched in amazement as his wife threw herself into her arms with her mouth covered, and whimpered softly.

Thorgrande lightly moved a chair and sat down beside his wife, and then looked at her face in silence. Lots of memories slowly floated up from his mind and filled his mind.

Outside the door, Arubelleshi gently stroked his wife's hair, "We are all sad about Chinna. ”

Annis looked up and looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, "They are so affectionate, why did the gods tear them apart by force." Moreover, in fact, the saddest and most painful person is obviously Lord Luce, but he insists on enduring it and not showing it in front of us, isn't it too sad?! ”

"Maybe the couple is so outstanding that even the gods are jealous." Arubelich said.

At this moment, there seemed to be a sudden intermittent sound from inside the door, which sounded very close and far away; It's very grand, and it's very finely cut. The three men outside the door all looked at the door, and although they all wanted to go in and find out, they didn't act. Later, Huyunston recalled: "If I am not mistaken, what I heard at that time was the man who was known as the 'God of War' crying. ”

At the same time, in the Iberian camp, 20 fatarimiles away from Gresden-Lancados, Ofrit III was listening to the envoy's return.

"Did you really see that Thorgrande Leus vomit blood?" Ofrite III asked.

"True, my majesty."

"It's no wonder that the woman you love dies in battle in front of your own invincible commander, and it's hard for anyone to accept this fact. What's more, as soon as he was provoked by His Majesty's letter, it was reasonable for such symptoms to occur. General Garcia analyzed on the side.

"It seems that we are lucky, Saulgrande Luce, if we play according to the usual style, we will probably lose this time. And now that this unexpected situation has occurred, it is a godsend for us. Take advantage of this opportunity to completely destroy this beam of Farensi, and Alc will be in my pocket. "Ofrett III's confidence was greatly increased.

"Your Majesty is wise." The courtiers of Iberia flattered.

"Then, pass my order, let the soldiers rest well tonight, and we will defeat the Falensi army tomorrow in one fell swoop."

"Do your will."

The king of Iberia sent his courtiers away, and then he welcomed another charming guest. The King of Iberia pulled the guest into his arms and made her sit on his lap.

"I heard that Saulgrande Luce was so angry with you that he vomited blood?" Eugaris asked, hooking the king's neck.

"You're very well-informed, what's the matter, are you distressed?" Offleet III curled the chin of the beautiful woman in his arms and stared at her sensual lips.

"Who cares about them?" Eugaris said nonchalantly, "The Pharansis are all dead to weigh my heart." ”

"Hehe, then, you just wait tomorrow to see how I defeat the Pharisens." The King of Iberia kissed the dancing girl's moist red lips as he spoke.
