"Your Majesty, noble Lord Hyde, your bravery and boldness have really touched my little director. But I want to explain to you the state that we are facing, and I think it is necessary. ”

Mount calmly answered Hyde's question, looked into Hyde's eyes, and began to explain the reasons for his opinion.

"We are all soldiers, and soldiers have their own duties as soldiers, and soldiers naturally need to understand the elements of war. This is not because of timidity, but because of sanity, and a military man without reason is an unqualified soldier. Such servicemen can only lead to tragedy for themselves and their comrades. Now I have only one hundred and sixty infantry and a dozen cavalry, of which no more than sixty are armored halberders who can fight in close combat. Although Rick's warriors' combat power is much stronger than that of Chaos Beast's Gore, this person can't fight against thousands of Chaos Beasts on the Great Plains, not to mention that more than thirty percent of the beasts are cavalry or centaurs, you should know the impact of cavalry on the plains. ”

The stocky director paused, holding on to the oak railing of the lookout platform, and continued to explain his opinion to Hyde in his calm voice.

"What's more, my first task now is to guard this military station, which is the duty entrusted to me by the imperial court and the army! This military station is the supply point of the imperial logistics convoy, and large troops often pass by. In our warehouses there were not only 200 bales of wheat and more than 10 cartloads of bacon for the hospital, but also 1,100 bales of oats, 400 bales of black beans, and 6,000 bales of hay and alfalfa. The supply line is the blood vessel of the army, and our military station is the valve of this blood vessel, I can't give Chaos a chance to destroy this valve, because this is related to the blood circulation of the army, which is more important than anything else!"

The smile faded from Mount's round face, and the chubby director became resolute and serious, his determined voice continuing to echo in front of Hyde.

"Moreover, this is not only a supply point for a convoy, but also one of the main hospitals in the rear of the army, where there are seven hundred and eighty-five wounded and sick, one hundred and forty-six nuns and devotees of the goddess of mercy and medicine, Sharya. Many of the wounded were warriors who had been seriously wounded in the fierce struggle against Chaos, and the nuns and believers who took care of them were also kind and noble believers, and they were all meritorious men of the Empire, and my responsibility was to protect their safety, and this also related to the hearts of the tens of millions of soldiers fighting against Chaos on the front line! If there was a mistake in the rear hospital, what kind of shock would this cause to the soldiers on the front line? This responsibility could not be compensated by Mount's life. ”

The leather-robed supervisor stood in the cold autumn wind, his hands tightly clinging to the guardrail, and continuing his rational analysis. The wind swept past his leather robe, making a whirring sound. Hyde stood silently on the other side of the guardrail, the young knight's long golden fluffy hair dancing in the wind, which seemed to be the best portrayal of his mood.

"We also need to see that the current situation of the enemy is not clear, and you have just encountered the enemy in the woods less than a mile away. Since these chaotic beast colonies will infiltrate the southern realm of Kislev far from their homeland for a long time, there will inevitably be real chaotic generals from the north behind them. They are insidious and cunning veterans of war, and it is inevitable that they will launch attacks from east to west. What a tragedy it would have been if our warriors had just left the garrison and rushed to the battlefield six or seven leagues away, and a horde of thousands of wild beasts rushed from the woods on the other side to our garrison where we had lost their guards! What a massacre! Have you ever thought about it, my noble lord?"

Mount accentuated his tone, pointing to the wounded soldiers and nurses below. In the square under the watchtower, two or three hundred wounded soldiers and nurses had gathered, many of them on crutches and bandages. Most of the nurses were also young girls, and they all stared at the black smoke in the northwest, many with frightened expressions, some talking to each other.

"Therefore, I cannot let the soldiers leave this station, even though it is painful to watch our comrades fight alone, but we can only drink this bitter wine. We can only pray to the great Holy Sigmar and the ancient gods, that these unfortunate comrades can break out of the siege under the protection of the gods. Ah, we only have to pray. ”

'Mount, I have to admit, you're very eloquent. ”

Old Loren replied, his eyebrows furrowed together as he stared at the black smoke in the distance. Obviously not in a very good mood.

"It's not my eloquence, I'm just using reason and facts to explain why I made my choice. I am sure that your noble master, Your Excellency Hyde, will understand the painstaking efforts of my little director. ”

Mount turned his chubby face to old Loren and explained to his old friend in a still-calm voice.

"Dear Lord Mount, I think the gods like to do more than to pray. ”

Hyde replied with the words, and he raised his hand to comb his unkempt hair, solemnly retorting to the director.

"Your Excellency, noble Hyde, I will listen to your thoughts. You are the son of Princess Tirir and you are the blood of the Elector of the great Duchy of Midland. Not only do you have such a noble background, but you are also an outstanding god, and I am only a small station director, an ordinary knight of honor of Rick, and it stands to reason that I cannot stand up to you. But now on the battlefield, I am a steel nut of the imperial expeditionary army, and I must be loyal to my duty, loyal to the tasks given to me by the imperial court and the marshal, which is more important than my life! In this imperial army, I only obey the military orders of my superiors, and no one can force me without military orders! This is not because of my callousness, but because of my loyalty to the empire! If it is unreasonable, no one can force me to do it!"

The fat supervisor named Mount also raised his voice, his eyes were fixed on Hyde's eyes, and Hyde saw in his eyes fortitude and passion, this fat middle-aged man who was usually smiling, but now he was as firm as steel! This is a soldier with perseverance and responsibility, not a piece of soft cheese.

"Your Excellency Mount, I have no intention of using my origins or family to force you. I just want to talk to you about my point of view, because I believe the truth is in my hands. ”

Hyde solemnly gave a military salute to the supervisor in front of him, and then spoke his thoughts in an excited voice.

"Your Excellency Mount, I have listened carefully to your explanation. I admit that there is nothing wrong with you in keeping your duty, but have you ever wondered what our comrades in need are expecting today? Have you ever put yourself in their shoes?"

Hyde shouted his question, which sent the director named Mount stunted.

"Maybe this question is abrupt, but I have experienced it personally, as if the pain and fear are still in front of my eyes!"

The young knight pressed his hand to his chest, bowed his head slightly, and then raised his head again to look deeply into Mount's eyes. Mount felt the young man's eyes keenly, with sadness and unwavering persistence in them, a shocking sincerity. This shocked this middle-aged man with deep experience.

"I remember when I was two years old, sitting alone in a dark forest, surrounded by hordes of chaotic beasts. I can still remember their vicious eyes and sharp teeth, their roars and their stench! There were so many of them, and I was a weak and useless toddler, it was a feeling of despair, a feeling of expectation, and I will never forget it!"

"The helpless hope for a miracle, and there is nothing more painful in the world than being abandoned, and I know it deep down, because I have been abandoned!" Hyde raised his voice, his sword brow falling sadly.

"But my dear mother did not abandon me, and when I was about to become food for the beasts of Chaos, she rode alone into the depths of the Black Forest to rescue me. She was the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Tyril, the wife of the Marquis of an Elector of the Empire, and she was even a powerful detainer of the Valkyrie Mirmidia. She is so beautiful and noble, like the most brilliant ruby in the night space. And I, though her son, am a fool, a feeble, insane, feeble, feeble, worthless. Perhaps this is a meaningless thing to do intellectually, but if everything had been so full of reason, the divine ones who speak to you today would have become the food of the beasts!"

Hyde's heart was stirring, and he wanted to say what was in his heart. Sadness and passion hit his young heart together, and his words poured out like flowing water, and he wanted to make it clear!

"In the dark woods of beasts and enemies, my kind mother did not abandon me, even though I was worthless. She saved me without hesitation, from hundreds of Chaos Beasts, from the sinister and vicious Dark Elf Slayer, from the Chaos Darling Champion Minoan Minotaur Giant, from the bloody maws of the Chaos Demon Creation! She saved me again and again, and never abandoned me! In the end, she gave her noble life for me, and my martial sacred seal today is the last one she left me!"

"I am full of pain when I recall that moment, and it is because of this pain that I will have my attachment! I cannot watch my wounded comrades being torn to pieces by the beasts of chaos, I cannot watch the girls of the goddess of mercy, Sharya, become the food of the devil, if I stand idly by in the face of evil, then my heart will never forgive me! My sword will cry out of the sheath for my justice, how can I watch the cries of my comrades for help and pretend to be an ignorant fool?"

"And I want to point out more clearly, if we sit back and watch the destruction of our comrades, what will it bring us! The besieged convoy is the convoy that came down from the front line to bring the wounded to our rear hospital, the wounded are all warriors who have been wounded in the bloody battle with the enemy on the front line of the army, and they can survive the chaos army facing the demons on the northern front of thousands of troops, but now they are going to be killed by a group of lowly chaos beasts outside the walls of the hospital of this great rear station? Our comrades-in-arms have pinned their hopes and trust on us, and if we fail to live up to the hopes and requests for help of our comrades-in-arms, what will the entire army at the front think? If we are besieged here by chaos, and others fail to live up to our hopes and do not come to our rescue, then what will be our end?"

Hyde's voice was so powerful that it made the stocky director's cheeks twitch, and his lips twitched, but he stopped talking, as if his heart had been shaken greatly.

"The nuns and nurses of the health team are benevolent believers in the goddess of mercy, and they are rushing to the front lines of war to save the soldiers of the motherland. They are the holy and loving angels in the hearts of the warriors, they escort the wounded warriors of the motherland from the bloody and fire front of the north, and every soldier and general of the motherland will thank them, and the loving angels of these goddesses have traveled thousands of miles to the great rear next to our hospital, but here they are attacked by the beasts of chaos! Who has no sisters, who has no mother, what if they are our relatives?

Hyde continued his eloquence while the iron was hot, his youthful voice carrying an overwhelming power like a rushing tide. The sound was like a roaring thunderbolt, echoing from the little lookout, over the heads of the crowd! Many people in the square below the tower heard it and looked up.

"If we can tolerate all this like a cowardly and a rat, then how can we have the courage to resist the attack that the Chaos Beasts are about to attack here? What courage can a man have to fight because of the breath of heaven and earth, a rabble who have abandoned their comrades, abandoned their sisters, betrayed their trust, and lost their morale? Can we rely on a group of poor cowards who have lost their courage and manliness, and are like gutter rats in the wooden fence, to meet the mad rage of the bloodthirsty Chaos Beasts?"

"We can't abandon our comrades-in-arms, we can't abandon our sisters! Since they trust us with their trust, since they place their hopes on us, we must rescue them! We must rescue our comrades-in-arms and sisters from the clutches of the Chaos Beast, so that they can join us safely! This is the duty of a soldier, this is the responsibility of a man! This is not my madness, this is the responsibility of conscience entrusted to us!"

Hyde's passionate voice was so shocking, so sincere. The young knight's sincere thunder shook the hearts of everyone under the tower, and the expressions of many wounded soldiers became solemn, and they clenched their weapons and looked up the tower intently. Many of the nurses and nuns even shed tears of emotion, some of the girls prayed, some of them cried.
