Chapter Seventy-One: The Heroism of Fernelle
As the twilight fell, the mighty army of the Stygian Legion had arrived less than twenty miles away from the city of Therocais, and the long line could not see the end, but from a distance, it seemed to be connected with the sky. ⊥,
The demon slayer general, who was at the forefront of the mighty Siturat horse, and was the former lord of Laurentidia, Fenile, suddenly rolled over and fell from his horse to the ground.
"Oops!" he cried out, covering his face in pain.
One of his falls brought to a halt the thousands of troops walking behind him.
"General, are you alright?" said an infantryman walking on the side of his horse with a steel knife on his back.
General Westward, who was wearing iron armor with a long knife on his shoulder, jumped down from his war horse, walked quickly to his side and asked, "General, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you alright?" asked Guffin, dismounting.
He lowered his head, covered his waist with one hand, and kept swaying in front of the infantry with the other, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it must be the reason why I haven't been able to sleep for a while these days because the demons are trying to attack here and think about their strategy day and night." ”
"The general must have suffered. Westwaudan said.
Finnier glanced at everyone, his legs trembling at the thought of the word demon, not to mention that he was going to personally lead his troops to fight them.
"If you are caught by those beasts who know how to kill, you will be torn apart. He kept thinking about the horror of the demons, and after a while, a dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.
"General, General. The cavalry who were walking in front dismounted, and the infantry also surrounded them, "Are you alright?" ”
"Look at the general, how tired he is now. Westward, holding Fernier to his feet, said, "I am tired here for the sake of my country." ”
Admiral Guffen watched from the sidelines, saying nothing.
"I'm fine, I'm really embarrassed, and I'm bothering you to worry about it. Finnelle slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "I'm afraid that if I make this happen now, it may be a bad omen for this great war." ”
He looked at the people behind him who were anxious to march, and asked in a low voice, "How many demon soldiers are there who have marched?"
"According to Ortona, about ten thousand, General. Gaffin replied, "Our men will be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop if they get there." ”
"Very little," said Finnile, who grudgingly smiled triumphantly, and then he asked, "what about the army of Admiral Alto on the city of Therocais, and how many of them are there? ”
"Nearly twenty thousand, General. Ge Fen continued, "The city of Sylocais is the largest city in my Sirsa, and it is the only place where the demons will attack my Syrsas, where a large number of strong troops are stationed at all times, and the 8,000 troops reinforced yesterday have already arrived there. ”
"How much?" asked Finnille secretly and happily, and he said methodically: "The city of Celerocus is built on the Valley of Triumph, with an average height of thirty meters, which can be described as a place where no one can be opened, plus the twenty thousand elite guards under the command of our brave and warlike General Altona, no matter how fierce the demons are, it is simply difficult to capture. ”
"Yes. Guffin said.
"Not only are they difficult to capture, they are killing themselves!" Westwarton interjected, "The Winged Demons are in large numbers in the Byron West Demon Domain, these tricky guys are not here, how do they want to attack the city, unless our Therocais City is vulnerable, the victory or defeat of this battle can already be imagined." ”
Speaking of this, Finnier puffed out his chest, as if he had suddenly regained his youth, and he was afraid that the army behind him would not be able to hear it, so he deliberately raised his voice and said with a loud laugh: "General Alto led a vast army of 20,000 to guard the city of Celerocais in front of the steep valley of Sirsa, and the demon army led an army of 10,000 to attack us in the city of Celerocais, which is harmful to them and has no benefit.
"Yes, General. The soldiers shouted, "Since the demon army is so arrogant, let them suffer and taste the power of our human race!"
"You misunderstood me. Finnier laughed, "Why should we go to such lengths to support the demons when Alto has been able to defeat the demons who have come to us with ease?"
"It's to intimidate them. ”
"It is to ensure victory in the battle. The people below said.
"The king's decree is to obey orders! It is a soldier's duty to obey orders!" Guffen also exclaimed solemnly.
"In my opinion, this is a very stupid thing, it is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation!" Fenille retorted, "They demon people deliberately led 10,000 horses to mock us that they could defeat 20,000 troops with 10,000 troops, and not only did we have no shame, but we also gathered 80,000 troops from all over the country to deal with them, and they would definitely say things like 'human beings can only bully more and less, and they are really a weak race'. ”
"The general's analysis is reasonable. "As soon as the war began, we threw all our forces into a battle, which we had never heard of before. Moreover, the fact that so many men were in battle together had made our logistics tight, and that it had made it difficult for the front and rear teams to communicate with each other, and that our management had been confused, and that the king's announcement was not intended for us to move in one fell swoop, but that he meant that we should defeat the demons. ”
"Yes, that's what the king meant. Fennel smiled lightly, and he shouted, "Alto alone can defeat all the demon soldiers, why do we still go there, doesn't this make the demons laugh." If everyone listens to me, please quickly turn around, retreat dozens of miles away, and leave a 'demon soldier in the city, and be proud of guarding the high wall.' When they are victorious, we will come up to them and offer them wine, and cheer for them, and sing for them, which is also the demeanor of a warrior......
At the sincere instigation of the greedy Fernille, the mighty army of 80,000 finally turned around and galloped away like the wind to the rear without hesitation.
"General, what if something changes?" Ge Fen stopped in place, "What if a large group of demon soldiers suddenly attack, or if something unexpected happens?"
"Do you want something unexpected?" said Fenile, smirking as he jumped on his horse, "Admiral Gaffin, "could it be that the stars in the sky will fall and smash Therocaus to the ground?" ”
After that, Ferniller turned and rode away, and Gaffin thought for a moment, only to follow. (To be continued.) )
