Chapter 32: The Value of Sacrifice!

Hyde didn't want to be idle, and he came over to help. The young blonde knight picked up a purified body and placed it in the wagon, his eyes catching the corpse's face, and a little familiarity made the knight's heart flutter.

It was a round, chicked face, about sixteen years of age, wearing a broad-brimmed red hat, curly black hair peeking out from under the hat, and Hyde remembered him as a crossbowman in the Highlands. When Hyde finished his speech and walked down the watchtower to call for volunteers, this sturdy young man with a round face was one of the first to walk up to him and answer the call.

It was noisy, and people rushed to get over, and after a rough assembly, everyone hurriedly prepared their horses and armor and set off, and he only vaguely remembered that the young man's name seemed to be Hank. When he led the cavalry to attack the left flank of the Chaos Beast, the young man should have been in the infantry line on the right flank, and Hyde did not know the details of his specific death, but he should have died in the counterattack of the Chaos Centaurs.

In the heat of the battle, a Chaos Centaur javelin pierced the boy's leather vest and exited his back, leaving a wound two inches square and instantly taking his life. He still had a look of reluctance and surprise on his face, as if he didn't want to believe that this was reality. The young man who was standing in front of Hyde two hours ago has now become a cold corpse, and in a sense, the death of this young man is also due to Hyde, and there are seventeen comrades who died in this way. The joy of victory is by no means without price, and the lives of some comrades-in-arms are exchanged for the deaths of others.

Hyde silently looked at the young man's face, and he remembered that when he put on his armor and was about to leave, Lala put it on his ear and whispered to him, "You want to return triumphantly." He smiled confidently, replied to the lovely little sister, and then stepped on the war horse, he was very confident and full of confidence in victory. Now that he had returned triumphantly, he could happily reunite with Lala, but the seventeen comrades would never return, and they should have relatives or lovers, and I wonder what kind of sorrow their relatives would have?

"Your Excellency Hyde, this is war, this is the fate of soldiers. In a sense, the dignified death of a soldier on the battlefield is also the best destination for a soldier. I know that your first battle must have been emotional, and I was the same person I was forty-four years ago as you are today. ”

Old Loren walked over and patted Hyde on the shoulder.

"In a sense, they died because of me. The person who spoke to me a few hours ago is now this cold corpse, and I feel the loss of life, is this war?"

Hyde was a little melancholy, and the price of war was coldly displayed before the young knight for the first time, which could not but make him question.

"But more of our comrades have been saved, and our vicious enemies have been crushed by us, and this is the value of their heroic sacrifice! Holy Sigmar, may their heroic souls rest in peace in the heavens. ”

Marshall also interjected, and the red-haired young man reverently drew a cross to the sky as a sign of mourning.

"Justice comes at a cost, my Highness Hyde. If we don't pay that price, we will pay a higher price. Humans live in this chaotic world, fighting countless vicious enemies and demons to survive, this empire is already the most powerful country in the old world, but the border has never been interrupted by the invasion of chaos, dark elves, and greenskins. In fact, in the past few decades, the empire has been relatively safe, but this security has been won by the sacrifices of countless warriors. A hundred years ago, hundreds of years ago, the Storm of Chaos besieged the White Wolf City of Middenheim and the sacred Yanjing Aldolph several times, and even the vampire kingdom, which is now said to have basically collapsed, also came to Yanjing hundreds of years ago. ”

Old Loren lightly described the history of the empire, he held the sword in both hands and looked at the white clouds in the distance. His heavy voice echoed across the autumn grassland.

"But even Yanjing Aldolph has fallen, more than two hundred years ago, the maggot lord of the chaotic Nurgle evil god, the tyrant Tamur Khan invaded the empire, most of the empire was reduced to ruins between the plague and poisonous smoke, even the sacred Yanjing Aldolph has become a hunting ground for chaos, rotting heads are piled up in the streets, bones and human skins are made of flags and hung all over the ruins and houses, miasma and poisonous flies are like clouds and mist obscuring the sun, blood and water turn into thick juice to turn the Rick River yellow, the demon legion passed through a hundred people difficult to survive, either become a sacrifice of the crucifixion or become the food of the demons, that is, the horror and horror of the chaos storm!”

The white-haired old man continued his voice, and his face became serious, as if it had been a hellish scene back then.

"But the maggot lord of Nagille was eventually killed by the sword and magic of the human soldiers. Theodore Bruckner, the gallant half-griffin paladin, the star of the Empire, the invincible champion of the gods, in the great battle of battle, he raised his sword and struck into the army of the Tamur Khan like a rotten sea of hell, and he drew the flames of magic to the end of Namill's chosen darling, the greedy plague worm demon! He saved the empire with his heroic life, and his noble bronze statue still stands in the city of Aldolf. Tens of thousands of warriors died with him that day, from the north and south of the empire, from Tyrir and Bretonnia and even to the desolate frontiers, who could never return to their homeland to see their loved ones, but it was they who used their lives to reduce the chaotic army to ashes! Their sacrifice brought peace to the motherland, and millions of human beings were saved, this is the value and meaning of our soldiers, this is the meaning of the heroic sacrifice of soldiers, my brave Lord Hyde. ”

"Thank you, my Grandpa Loren, for telling me about the history of those days, and I will remember it. Isn't it just to prevent the recurrence of that catastrophe and catastrophe? I understand what you mean, and I will do it well. ”

Hyde gave a military salute to old Loren, his heart was shocked by this history, this is the consequence of the chaos storm invading the empire, the degree of tragedy is like hell, how can this catastrophe land on the land of the motherland again?

"Yes, Lord Hyde, the power of the Chaos Storm is like a snowball rolling down from a snowy peak, expanding in a circle every time it passes. The projection of the evil gods in the world will continue to grow due to suffering and catastrophe, and will eventually turn into an unstoppable hellstorm, which is why we are heading north to rescue the kingdom of Kislev. ”

Old Loren paused, and in a deep voice he continued to explain it all to Hyde.

"If Kislev falls, there will be no doubt that the forces of chaos will invade the borders of the Empire in the south, and behind us is not only the Empire, but also Tyril and Bretonnia, as well as many other human and dwarven kingdoms, and our combined army in the north is the Great Wall that guards the borders of humanity. Because of this, in the face of this chaotic storm, all ten Electoral Duchy sent their warriors, and Tyrir and Bretonnia sent select warriors thousands of miles away, and even dwarves or high elves would not stand idly by if the situation deteriorated further. Warriors of all nations will temporarily obey the orders of the Imperial Court under the banner and scepter of the Imperial Court on this battlefield. This war against the Storm of Chaos determines the fate of millions. ”

The veterans of the 40-year war slowly expounded the significance of this war, which is by no means a lie. Five months ago, when it was learned of the death of the White Tsar of the Kingdom of Kislev and the Ugolan Valley, the terrible prospect of the chaotic storm shocked the royal court, because the death of a monarch and the destruction of the main force of a country had not happened in nearly a hundred years! Many nobles thought in horror of the catastrophe of the Tamur Khan, because the rise of the Tamur Khan was similar.

After a short meeting, the Emperor and the cabinet immediately issued an order to gather all the elites of the principality, and in two or three months, 100,000 allied troops were assembled into Kislev, and the Federation of Bretonnia and Tyril also sent letters that they would send thousands of elite warriors to the north, and as for the dwarves and elves----- there were already a large number of them in the army of King Rick under the direct jurisdiction of the Empire. Of course, the letter was also passed to the Elven Court of Ursuan and the High King of the Karak Fortress, but it took time to travel thousands of miles back and forth, and they each had their own enemies, in fact, the great marshal of the empire, --- Jan Sobiesky Outlandez and his 13th legion, had been joining forces with the elves to fight the Darklings in the northwest on the other side of the Talon Sea, according to the orders of the Imperial Court, but because the distance was too long, it was only now that they arrived in Kislev.

This is the important surname of this war, which touches the hearts of the entire Old World. And the young Hyde is now only a small drop in the imperial army, but now this small droplet, in the magnificent battlefield of the future, in the parchment scroll, will write his chapter brilliantly, create his legend, until the moment of climbing to the highest peak of that magnificent history and life. The first roar of this heroic lion has been staged with the rout of the Chaos Beast, but this is only the first page in the vast scroll of history, countless blood will flow out, countless lives will disappear, the hero's road is destined to be a blood-stained road, but the lion's fiery and merciful heart has never been extinguished by the blood and yellow sand......
