It was a restless night. The clamor of war did not pass away with the darkness of the night. The rebel assault on Burleigh continued. When the people in the city fell asleep with fear and numbness, on the city wall, the soldiers defending the city were still fighting fiercely with the rebels, struggling to repel the enemy's attack and protect the devastated city.

Veterans and recruits alike, under the powerful magical attacks of the enemy, still brave their lives to hold their positions, fighting to the death against the rebels who climbed the walls. Everyone knows in their hearts that Burleigh City is already the last barrier of the imperial capital, they have no way to retreat, and before the last drop of blood of the emperor's ** people is exhausted, they must not let the rebels break through this line of defense.

When the fierce battle was going on, a military camp in the north of the city was exceptionally calm. A middle-aged officer of the First Army and Division of the First Army of the Imperial Army was staying in his tent, looking at a dagger in his hand with a cold light. After a long time, he put the dagger in its sheath and put it in a small bag in front of him. In this baggage was one of his belongings and a letter.

"Child, you are five years old this year, and from the time you were born to the present, the time that your father has been with you has been with you has been less than half a year. In the future, Dad may never see you again, and this dagger that has been with me since I was a soldier will be regarded as the last memorial that Dad left you!"

The officer sighed softly, put the dagger away, and then took up a letter from his baggage to his wife. I opened it and read it carefully, then held the letter to my mouth and kissed it tenderly, saying goodbye to my beloved wife from afar.

"My dear, you have said that you have been ready to be a widow from the day you married me. You may not know it, but your words have encouraged me all these years. Because you are waiting for me, I have struggled again and again, trying to survive from the battlefield. Maybe tonight, the miracle won't happen again, and you will have to take care of yourself alone in the future!"

"Division Commander......" A deep voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!" As soon as the middle-aged officer heard the voice, he knew that it was his deputy who had arrived.

A slightly young officer pushed open the door and walked in with a gloomy expression, his eyes falling on the burden.

"Wright. Have you gathered all the people I want?" the middle-aged officer asked, looking up.

"We're all set!" Wright nodded heavily.

"You came just in time, these things, after the war, you handed them over to your sister-in-law. The middle-aged officer sealed the envelope, put it in his baggage, and said to him.

"Hardy. Why don't you let me go! Your child is still young. Sister-in-law is still waiting for you to go back!Could it be that in your eyes, am I really such a useless person?" Wright said excitedly, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Don't cry like a woman in front of me! After I leave, your kid will be the acting division commander, take this division with me, and Lao Tzu will rest assured!" The middle-aged officer looked at him and smiled heartily. "I won't let you go. It's because I've left a seed behind. Your sister-in-law still has hope. If you bastard, if you sow harder, I'll give you this honor! I'm going to have to work more overtime!"

Not long ago, the 1st Division received an order from Yan Tian to select 500 elites, mainly officers, to participate in a major operation. And those who participate in this action must be prepared to sacrifice. Yan Tian even mentioned in the order that only one officer at all levels of the First Army Corps was left to command the troops, and the rest had to participate in the operation. The reason for this is that although the First Army suffered heavy casualties, its officers were relatively strong, and the officers of the First Army were quite strong in combat effectiveness.

When the young officer heard this, ......he couldn't hold back any longer and cried bitterly. He and Hardy enlisted in the same year and have been together all these years, forming a strong friendship with each other. When fighting broke out in the north, an army was routed under the powerful magical attack of the rebels. This was a great shame for the ace troops of the empire, so after receiving the order from Yan Tiandi, the officers and soldiers of the first division all asked for orders to participate in this operation and be ashamed of their troops. Wright, as the deputy division commander, also competed with Hardy for the opportunity to participate in this mission. But in the end, he was forced down by Hardy as a division commander.

My son is five years old, and your wife hasn't moved yet. As a soldier, you are not as good as me! We are both soldiers and officers together, and you are always my subordinate. Why are you robbing me?"

Hardy said, stepping forward and hugging Wright tightly, he knew very well what Wright wanted. Because of this, at this life-and-death juncture, he resolutely decided to leave the chance of life to his brother.

"Brother, I'm leaving, if I can't come back, your sister-in-law and nephew, you can help take care of it!"

"You *** dare not come back, I will sell your son!"

Wright broke free of Hardy's embrace, slammed two punches in his chest, and roared angrily.

"Haha! I'm relieved!" Hardy laughed, grabbed the sword on the table, turned and strode out of the tent.

In the camp of the first division, 500 officers and men have been assembled, and among these people, nearly half are officers. Looking at the murderous subordinates, Hardy nodded with satisfaction.

Are you ready, my soldiers?"

"All right!" shouted five hundred people in unison.

"The suicide note and the family letter were all left, right?"

"Stayed!"

"There's nothing to worry about, then we'll fight the rebels vigorously and wash away the shame we have suffered with the blood of the rebels!"

On this night, the same scene was played out in various military camps in Burleigh City. Five thousand officers and men, from their respective units, quickly gathered in the central square of Burleigh.

Marshal Yan Tian was already dressed in military uniform, standing in the square with a solemn expression, waiting for the arrival of this army. Forced by the situation, he made a risky decision to launch a surprise attack on the rebels. And this attack will be launched by his troops in person.

After the five thousand people were gathered, Yan Tianchao nodded to the staff officers beside him.

One by one, the wine glasses were distributed to the hands of the officers and soldiers, and the blood-red wine was quickly filled with the glasses.

Yan Tian picked up his wine glass and came to the front of the formation of five thousand people.

"Everyone, please raise your glass!"

The officers and soldiers raised their wine glasses in unison.

"The wine in the cup is called the General's Tears. Not long ago, in the camp of the rebels, a thousand imperial soldiers who cherished the motherland and were unwilling to be rebels, before the rebels laid siege to the city of Burleigh, suddenly revolted, set fire to the rebels' siege equipment, grain and grass, and then fought a bloody battle with the rebels, and all died heroically! To this day, I don't know the name of any of these soldiers, I only know that each of them has four blood-red characters written on their upper body: "A good soldier"! For the first time in my life, I shed tears for these 1,000 good soldiers, and I vowed to avenge them! This cup of crimson wine is the blood of the rebels and our hatred! Tonight, let us drink all this glass of wine, salute the 1,000 good soldiers who died in battle, and also do a heroic deed for us!"

After speaking, Yan Tian raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. The 5,000 officers and men also raised their glasses and drank all the wine at the same time.

"Soldiers, behind Burleigh is our national capital, Cloud City. The advance of the rebels must be halted in Burleigh! For this reason I have decided to personally lead you in the execution of the operation tonight. Among you, some of you are officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Empire, and you must prove that the First Army is still a well-deserved trump card of the Empire! Among you, some of you are cavalrymen who followed me in the First Battle of Yanyun in the past, and you must prove that you still have the courage to step on a thousand armies! Among you, there are also elites selected from various units, and you must prove that the heroes who dare to die in the Emperor's ** Squad are by no means just those 1,000 soldiers! I want to tell you that this operation is a life and death for you. In the face of death, my soldiers, tell me whether you choose to move forward or retreat?"

"Forward!" the crowd replied in unison. For the sake of the country, for the honor of the soldiers, five thousand people did not hesitate to choose to kiss the Grim Reaper.

"Go!"

Yan Tian looked up to the sky and laughed, slammed the wine glass to the ground, and turned over on his horse.

The officers and soldiers also smashed their wine glasses, turned over and jumped on horseback, and followed the hot sky. Tonight, they will turn into bayonets in the hands of the Marshal of the Reich, shining with a hideous and icy edge, and stab at the rebels fiercely.

After the battle, Hardy never returned.

After the war, Wright returned to his hometown and handed over the letters and belongings he had left behind to his wife at Hardy's behest. Hadi's wife died of depression when she learned of his death, leaving behind her young son. The child was carefully nurtured by the Wrights, and eventually became an officer in the Empire. Hardy didn't expect that Wright, who he had told to work overtime to have a son, in order to fulfill his promise to him, in order to carefully nurture his son, he and his wife did not have a child in their lives, and poured all their feelings into that young child.

Also after this war, hundreds of young girls in the empire received blow-torch letters from their boyfriends in the army. Some said that they fell in love with someone else, some said that they changed their minds after being promoted, and some said that they were suddenly tired of feelings. The various reasons for breaking up make these girls who are waiting for the return of their lovers heartbroken. Some of them even ran to their lover's unit, wanting to see the ruthless negative person with their own eyes, but they were all coldly refused. These girls finally put away their grief, started a new life, and built a happy family of their own.

Years later, a woman named Martha, who married to Burleigh, stumbles upon the name of her former lover while visiting the martyrs' cemetery in Burleigh while taking her children to visit the martyrs' cemetery in Burleigh.

When she saw the words engraved on the tombstone, she cried out and fell to the grave.

"My dear Martha, I will never be able to return to you again, for the sake of the country, for the sake of ending the war, I smiled and kissed the Grim Reaper! May that heartless letter put an end to your thoughts and waiting, and only by making you hate me, can you soon forget me and start a new life. My cruelty to you is the last time I love you in this life, and I will watch over your happiness in heaven!"
