Volume II: The Storm Falls: 32, Seeing Death, I Don't Save It
I remember someone once said to me, if this job is good, why do you still need to do it?
While this may be true from some perspectives, it is often a basic phrase used to oppress others with fallacies.
I've always been a person who doesn't have a lot of choices. Poverty gives me no choice, but I am a person who does not want to be obeyed, does not want to be manipulated, does not want to be bound, does not want to be instructed, does not want to be manipulated.
I've always wanted to be a free man.
Freedom often comes at a price. Especially in the face of poverty, I can't escape and can't escape, although I would love to......
When Leorick unceremoniously assigned me a task, I instantly felt a sense of dissatisfaction in my heart, not least because it was not my original intention.
Gage's death still makes me feel bad, it's a heartfelt pain, and I want to avenge Gage, but I don't want these living brothers to die.
"Our mobility The ogres know that it will be difficult for us to run by the nose again, and once they are attacked in this way, they will prefer to retreat into the woods rather than ride pigs to chase our fast horses. In order to ensure that the bluff is done sufficiently, adults can consider cavalry or infantry without long-range attacks. I said.
"Hmph, Colonel Bill, you can keep harassing them until you anger them and make them really want to chase you." Palmer's expression was still twitching.
"We've already had a fight, and the chances of them falling for it are low." I say.
"That's it, Colonel Bill." Leorik looked at me, and there was suddenly an unshakable in his eyes, not negotiable, only the majesty of execution. "You just need to harass them on the periphery, as long as you mess with them, you don't have to let them run after you, I'll do it. You can rest assured! ”
He turned to Palmer and said, "When Colonel Bill confronts the enemy, you lead a group of men deep into the woods on the south side, and listen to the second round of attacks before you fight." He raised his voice. Annihilate this force! ”
There is no room for manoeuvre. I nodded, and noticed Palmer's smile, a smile that made me want to stomp his chin down.
I rushed to the ogre's ranks with this group of brothers. Perhaps this is the first time I have prayed wholeheartedly to the gods and asked for the blessings of the Light.
The ogre spotted us immediately.
"Ready to shoot!" I shouted. "Listen to me!"
Getting closer! I saw their faces, their huge eyes, and their sharp fangs.
Instead of getting off their mounts, they simply raised their shields.
100 steps! 80 steps! 60 steps! 40 steps!
The ogre's team is constantly adjusting their formation. "Shoot the arrows!" It can't get any closer!
The ogre's shield protected them well, sweeping from the right side of their ranks, and many arrows were fired, but not many were killed.
I looked back, and instead of catching up, they slowed down.
There is no danger!
We rushed into the woods, then went in a big circle and rushed out of the woods again!
"Shoot the arrows!" We swept through their forces again, and still to little avail!
Damn it! I watched their ever-adjusting ranks and raised shields, and I felt anxious!
Leorick's team must be watching the show, they see us as a stepping stone and stepping stone in this battle!
Adjust the direction again, and when we came out of the woods, another scene happened that I will never forget! Just as we were about to brush shoulders with the ogres again, a boar burst out of the crack in their shield wall! Not one! Not a bunch! It's a big group!
Instantly, I felt the hairs on my back explode!
The arrow in his hand shot out and shot at the wild boar that rushed towards him. Careless! Careless again! Not at all expected! Not only can the orc's mounts be used as soldiers, but the ogre's mounts are even more useful than their masters! Stronger, stronger, faster, and harder!
The wild boar is not as fast as our horse, but we are too close! Only about forty paces away let us meet head-on!
Ten or eight of them are fine, hundreds of them, and the sight of the whole wild boar charging is very terrifying! This not only frightened the people on the horses, but also the horses that ran!
In an instant, people turned on their backs!
A few wild boars rushed straight at my horse with their heads shut, their long fangs covered in metal, and their armor!
I didn't have time to adjust, I just felt like I was out of balance!
I fell off my horse.
Die......
I wish it was just a game, a game that woke up when I was scared. A game that can be archived and replayed!
As I fell to the ground, I heard the sound of horses' hooves stomping. Screams, screams, roars, screams...... And so on.
I subconsciously tightened my body, and suddenly I felt a hot breath spraying on my face, and a heavy snort came into my ears! Not good!
I flew all at once! To be exact, I was arched and provoked! And then it fell to the ground again!
But as soon as I got up from the ground, I felt that thing in front of me coming towards me again!
I experienced once again what it's like to be topped! There was a throbbing pain in my chest, and the feeling of vomiting blood from being hit made me breathless.
I can't die!
When I knelt on the ground, I saw it arching towards me again! I leaned on one side and it landed right on top of me! I was horrified to see it open its dirty, saliva-covered saliva! Big mouth!
It opened its mouth and bit at me!
An intense, unprecedented fear instantly made me feel like my body was no longer my own!
The left hand was lifted upwards so that the pig would not bite me or arch me, but ...... Unfortunately, my finger slashed into its mouth!
"Ahh
It shook its head violently, and the pain in my heart almost made me faint, and my estimated finger was broken......
If it's cut off, it probably doesn't hurt so much! This is a hard bite of my index finger and being bitten to pieces! Bite it! Then tear it off for me! I've experienced being caught in the door, smashed by a slate, and smashed by a hammer! But now this feels ...... I'll never forget!
At this moment, my left hand somehow got the strength to do it, as if the whole arm was not my own! Very accurate keying to its eyes. The pig's head was broken, and its fangs had scratched my arm.
I finally reached the dagger at my waist with my right hand, pulled it out and stabbed it in the neck! Because the pig's head was in Bulen, my dagger didn't actually pierce through, but blood spurted out!
That pig is a pig after all, no...... Even people would probably be like that. It gave up and continued to arch me, jumped and ran away!
Suddenly sat up from the ground and saw that the ogres had lowered the shield wall, and they were rushing towards us with their bloody mouths wide open.
There is no heroism, no recklessness, there are only two words in my head at the moment!
Come on!
I couldn't care about the pain, I forgot about the injury in an instant, got up and ran into the woods. Those who are lying on the ground around are dead, and those who are still struggling will die soon! Whether those who escape survive or not depends on luck!
Run! Come on! Desperate to run. Don't look back, don't resist! Escape matters!
I can't remember how I escaped! Feeling that there was no ogre behind me, I looked back and stopped. I survived!
There was no hustle and bustle, no fighting, no movement, as if nothing had happened.
I held on to the big tree next to me, my head was a little dizzy, swollen, and I suddenly felt a trance.
Was it all true?
I looked down at my hand, which was still holding the blood-stained dagger in my right hand, and the first segment of my left index finger was gone. That's when I felt the pain spread all over my body.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and I turned sharply, and I leaned my back against the tree.
It turned out to be an ownerless war horse.
The owner of the horse may be dead......
I ran up and grabbed it, and it was hurt. There are obvious puncture and scratches on the legs and stomach. I touched its face and neck, and it was quite quiet.
"Let's go, old man!" Say a word to it, turn over and get on the horse.
Following the direction I came from, I slowly found it back. The ogre had left, and I saw a lot of corpses through the sparse woods!
Slowly approaching the ...... The corpses of my brothers!
I don't dare count the number of people lying there. Tears were already making it difficult for me to see what lay ahead. I'd rather not see clearly, I don't want to see!
Just standing, standing alone in the place where the battle had just taken place. I wiped my tears and jumped off my horse.
None of the corpses on the ground were intact. In addition to the wounds left by the bite, there are also smashed heads and collapsed chests!
There is not a single corpse of a Stormwind Kingdom soldier!
No...... One of them!
Anger immediately filled my heart. That's the guarantee just now! That's what I just said!
My people are really stepping stones! There is still a sound of throwing stones to ask for directions! My people died in vain?
At this moment, a cavalry squad appeared in the distance, and then rushed towards me.
"You...... Are you alright? The leading cavalryman took hold of the reins and bowed his head to me.
"What about your people?" I asked him.
"Have you seen Colonel Bill?" He asked.
"What about your people?" I didn't answer him.
"A retreat is being organized." He said, "I need to find Colonel Bill!" Do you know where he is? ”
"Did you guys just watch a show and then get ready to go home?" I yelled. "Why didn't you attack just now! Said to cooperate with the attack! ”
The guy at the head looked displeased, but he didn't say anything after all.
"Take me to Leoric!" I rolled over and got on my horse.
"What about my people?" When I saw Leorik standing there on horseback, I rushed forward.
Palmer is by Leorick's side! Didn't he take people to the south side of the forest to wrap up! What about him!
I glared at him, then looked at Leorick, who was frowning in front of me. "What about my people?" I asked again.
"We were looking for them, and they were washed away!"
"Hah! What about your attack! Where's your bag? Why don't you save when you see death? I glared at him.
"Don't be angry!" Palmer said suddenly, "Master Mason." ”
