Chapter 54 Words Fall Like Rain
Many people believe that the heroes of the legend are almost omnipotent, and in the minstrel sings, these sages and sages never seem to make mistakes, never seem to have seven emotions and six yù, and never seem to have setbacks in life. Every heroic figure we've heard of is shrouded in colorful light and lives a life that doesn't eat the fireworks of the mortal world.
Is that really the case?
Did they really never have setbacks? Did they never deplore what they had done? Did they really have nothing to regret all their lives?
Fortunately, relative to human society, there are two long-lived races, jīng spirits and dwarves, with this question, a few interested scholars entered their society, and were fortunate to learn stories from the elders who had experienced some historical events that were not known to modern people thousands of years ago.
To sum it up in one sentence: heroes are written in books, and in life, everyone is unknown to others, and later generations of scholars deliberately avoided these stories unintentionally.
--The Thickest Book in the Imperial LibraryWhen a Hero Is Not a HeroChapter 54 Words Fall Like Rain Amy came from the deepest part of her heart with a chill, regardless of the pain, she got up suddenly, where did Ying go?It couldn't be taken away by her father?It couldn't be kidnapped......
Suddenly, the sound of hurried running sounded outside the door, and then the door panel was quickly snapped: "Regiment commander, there is a sentry attack, and now life and death are unknown." ”
The attacked sentry was in the center of the small mercenary group's camp, and the four sentry posts that were close at hand all fell to the ground silently, and Horns, Daqingshan, and Amy arrived almost at the same time. Four green short arrows scattered on the ground, Horns swept the sentry post, his face showed a strange look, squatted down and pinched one of the sentry men, and after a long time, the little mercenary who fell to the ground let out a groan. Everyone took a closer look, and there were no fatal injuries on the four sentry posts, but they were in a coma, and after picking up the short arrow underground, they found that the front end of the short arrow was cut off by Qi Qi, and each of the four sentry posts was hit by an arrow in the forehead.
It is extremely rare to be able to make the four sentry posts not even have time to report jǐng, and each arrow is not different by just one minute on the skull without hurting people's lives, such a god shè hand with dense speed and accuracy is extremely rare, however, there is just one in the small mercenary group. Amy's face was extremely pale, and the house guarded by the four sentry guards was where the Vulture Swordsman Battalion mounts were located, and there were more than 300 vultures living in it, and after breaking into the house, sure enough, Ying's favorite vultures were not standing on the branch where they should stand.
Ignoring the doubts in the eyes of the brothers, Amy Feng jumped off the platform from the room, and returned to her room several times in a row, and after lighting the oil lamp, she found an envelope under Ying's pillow, and when she opened it, the slender and neat font jumped on the paper.
Amy-kun: I may have left you by the time you read this letter.
Amy, in fact, I've been unhappy lately, really, I'm so confused, it's you on one side, it's my family on the other, my father can't accept you for special reasons, he not only threatens your life, but also tells me that if I marry you, I'll never go back to the demon jīng forest, and I'll never see my grandfather nǎinǎi brother again.
I don't really know what to do.
Later, I figured out that everyone should have their own destiny, and perhaps, this is my destiny: "I got you, but I can't have you forever." "Life is like this, like a messy red rope, when I want to untie it, I find that it is getting tighter and tighter, whether it is you, my father and my family, you want to get everything but you can't get anything in the end.
I'm so afraid of losing you, and I'm so afraid of losing my family.
When I was guarding the city walls, I once wanted to let an arrow pass through my chest and return me to the essence of the jīng spirit, but alas...... I didn't wait for that arrow.
When I was a child, the husband of my dreams was like you, tolerant, loving me, and living happily with me all his life. Unfortunately, the first half and the second half of my dream are too far from reality. I used to look forward to the winter thunder and summer rain and snow, but I dared to fight with you. Until last night, I accompanied you to the Ice and Snow Continent in my dreams. Unfortunately, these are dreams that I can't have in my life.
So, I decided to go, I don't think my father will threaten you anymore.
I'm going back to the demon jīng forest, going back to accompany my grandfather nǎinǎi, in this life, I have you alone enough. You don't come to me, no human can break into the demon jīng forest. You must take care of yourself, love clean, and wish you can find a better sister who loves you.
Because my foot is injured, I'm going to ride a wild vulture away, and I can throw away what I left behind, and don't keep it for trouble.
Finally, I am really, very grateful to you for being able to stay with me for four hours a day during the busiest time, so that I can have the happiest 10 hours of my life. By now, you can understand why I was so stubborn in asking you to give me time for the first time.
Unforgivable: The letter was uneven in March of the fifth year of the Yingying Magic Calendar, apparently once wet with tears repeatedly.
The teenager who has never experienced the ups and downs of love almost collapsed, especially when he read the last paragraph about the four hours a day, Amy cried and muttered to herself: "Silly boy, how did I know that you were going to leave me, how did I know that you had to fight for the last ten hours for yourself, otherwise, how could I not give it to you, how could I give up the last two hours with you?"
Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns gathered around and read the letter together, and without saying a word, Chi Aotian immediately walked out of the door and summoned the dragon who wanted to leave, soaring into the sky and flying towards the southeast. Daqingshan asked the members of the small mercenary group outside the door to inform the Prairie Jīng Spirit Archer to camp up and patrol the city, and if they found Miss Ying, they would ask her to come back as soon as possible.
Horns shook his head secretly, and the two partners were just doing their best. The small mercenary group changes the guard every 4 hours, Miss Ying knows the law of the change of guard quite well, and now she must have been away for more than 2 hours, can Chi Aotian catch up? It would be even more naïve to hope that Ying would be found in the city.
When he was about to return from the dragon, it was already dawning, and after flying over the cold chūn night for half a night, Chi Aotian's face was snow-white, and it could be seen from the low look on his face that there was no result of this trip.
For 5 hours, Amy sat quietly on the edge of the bed motionless, Sha Ruo, Lin Yusheng, Da Qingshan, and Horns didn't know what to say, just sat awkwardly like this, and Balbas walked around the house anxiously. Most of the other members of the mercenary group did not know what was going on, and the little mercenary group member who came to ask for work was scolded back by Balbas with the dignity of his father on the steps.
In the silence, Amy suddenly stood up: "I don't have anything to do, everyone should be busy with something." After speaking, he strode to the conference hall and convened a meeting of all the mercenaries above the rank of the mercenary group, in the meeting, the middle-level cadres of the mercenary group who did not know what happened last night did not find anything unusual in the face and speech and demeanor of the head of the regiment.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of troops drove to the east of the Broken Ice Harbor again--not long after, Viscount Fan, who was familiar to the senior cadres of the small mercenary group, appeared in view.
The Imperial reinforcements were surprised by the way the Frozen Harbor entered the city: the three gates of the Broken Ice Harbor were firmly locked, and each gate hole was filled with huge stone bars, but there were several gaps in the original city wall, and the busy people above and below the city wall were clearing the rubble under the gaps, and the moat had already been filled in - in the end, the troops turned out to be the city from the city wall.
Viscount Fan and other high-ranking officers of the empire did not expect that the offensive and defensive battles would be so tragic, especially when they saw that all the main officers of the small mercenary group were injured, all the soldiers they saw around were injured, and all the residents in the city were filial piety. The word "shocked" can only be used to describe the feelings of the emperor's ** official.
In the cold wind, Amy led all the commanders of the small mercenary group to greet the emperor, and when Amy simply stated that the casualty rate of the small mercenary group reached 100%, even exceeding the battle of Xilin Island, and the death rate of the residents reached 45%. Tears flowed from the depths of his eyes that Viscount Fan hadn't shown up for many years: "Captain Amy, I'm really sorry, the lower officials really don't know that the defense of the city is so tragic, otherwise ......"
The leader of the small mercenary regiment showed an unusually rare indifference: "Your Excellency Viscount Fan, you can't say that, although the soldiers and civilians of the Broken Ice Harbor are looking forward to the reinforcements, but ...... As soldiers, we all understand the caution you must have, and, as it turns out, if it weren't for the prudent steps you took, we might never have waited for reinforcements. The young man's calm expression made everyone understand that this was not a polite remark.
According to the regulations on the management of imperial affairs, once the mercenary group defending a city is attacked by a formal belligerent, when the regular troops of the empire arrive, the mercenary group will no longer be primarily responsible for the defense of the city or region, but will assist the imperial ** team in defense;
In front of many officers of the empire, Amy ordered the cadres of the small mercenary group at all levels to hand over the defense of the ice port to the emperor - everyone understood the young man's distress: the casualty ratio was so high, and the result was only to retreat to the second line for repair.
On the day he took over the defense, the emperor began to renovate the wall of the Broken Ice Harbor. The small mercenary group is basically in a semi-repaired state due to the injuries of all its members.
On the 7th day after the arrival of the Imperial reinforcements, the latest appointment was sent by the Military Department: the Imperial General Viscount Fan was hereby formed by His Excellency Viscount Fan, who was subordinate to the Imperial Gyeonggi Defense Region, and Viscount Fan also served as the deputy general of the Imperial Gyeonggi Defense District.
In addition to the Imperial Praetorian Guard already led by Viscount Fan, the army in the West Coast Defense Zone of the Empire also included three brigades from the three provinces of the Empire, including Sizhong Province and Guangdong Province.
The original Broken Ice Harbor Garrison Mercenary Regiment - the small mercenary regiment has meritorious defense, and it is chosen to return to dìdū, and another appointment is made.
The generals of the Gyeonggi Defense Region and the Northern Defense Region of the Imperial Gyeonggi Defense Region of the Duke of Amy ** Department were originally half a rank higher than the officers of the other defense regions, so the formation of a new defense area and the appointment of the deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Defense Region of the empire were considered equal for Viscount Fan, and it seemed that the yīn shadow of the Lion River Battle had been erased from his head.
The small mercenary group was also mentally prepared to return to Dìdū, and the only thing that was strange was that less than a quarter of an hour after receiving the order, the regiment commander Amy issued an order to requisition all the vehicles in the Broken Ice Port, refused the repeated retention of many imperial officials, and all of them left the Broken Ice Port.
None of the officers of the small mercenary group expressed any objection, and everyone knew that in the past few days, Amy, although he had behaved extremely normally during the day, had spent every night in the council hall without anyone to accompany him—he had not set foot in his room once since the moment he left the room. There was no need to guess, it must have been that he couldn't face any familiar scene, for fear of thinking of the departed girl. No matter what time I see, I see the serious face of the teenager, there is no smile, no matter what jokes I hear, I see anything surprising, my face is always calm as water.
None of the teenagers have experienced the turmoil of love, and they don't know how much strength it takes to make someone like Amy completely change?
The journey back to Dìdū was rather boring, and most of the little mercenary members did not expect that the road they had taken two months ago would now be retaken, and no one would have imagined that in just two months, the more than 600 companions who had gone on the expedition with them had turned into a wisp of green smoke and a pack of dust a few days ago. In just a few months, they were hit twice in a row, and the atmosphere in the small mercenary group was extremely heavy, and all the little mercenaries, especially the little mercenaries from Xilin Island, seemed to be 20 years old, and they were silent all the way.
Along the way, after entering the post station every day, when the post manager knew that it was a small mercenary group that had turned the tide for the empire twice in a row, he was in awe, and some post station team leaders even drove the middle-level officers of other troops who had already moved in out of the house in order to prepare more comfortable houses for the small mercenary group. Soldiers have a special respect for the brave on the battlefield, no matter which war zone the officer, when he hears that he has a house for a small mercenary group, he is extremely happy.
On the fourth day, we have entered the dìdū defense range, and according to the current itinerary, we will definitely arrive at dìdū in the afternoon of the fifth day or the morning of the sixth day.
That night, the small mercenary group Da Qingshan, Horns, Chi Aotian, Balbas, Lin Yusheng, and Sha Ruo received the second letter, and the reason why they did not mention the head of the group was because the sender was His Excellency Amy, the head of the group, and the content of the letter was unusual: Friends, Uncle Balbas: My heart is in turmoil.
Please forgive me for saying goodbye.
I want to go out for a walk. The Emperor's ** Ministry should not arrange any more combat missions for the small mercenary group in the near future, so I don't have anything to worry about. Three months at most, forty days at least, and I'll be back.
During my absence, Daqingshan Duoduo was in charge of the work of the regiment.
Although the empire will give a certain pension to the brothers who died in battle, considering the suffering of their families, everyone still needs to fight for them.
None of them. Don't read it.
In March of the 5th year of the magic calendar on Amy's grass, 12 days after Miss Ying left, Amy, the leader of the little mercenary group, also disappeared mysteriously, if it weren't for the two of them leaving letters, probably everyone who heard such news would have thought that they had been kidnapped.
After most of the people left, Horns, Da Qingshan, and Chi Aotian rushed to the map together, and the three of them were calculating: What exactly does it take 40 days to go back and forth?
