By this time, it was nearly dusk, and the bleak sunset had smeared the slum with a remnant of red. Thoma, who had just turned eighteen, walked briskly, and the sparse bamboo fences on both sides flew backwards, looking at his excited expression, there should be something happy.
Sure enough, turning a weeping willow on the side of the road, Toma shouted excitedly, "Mother, mother." "Not far away, there was a thatched hut, the sill of the lattice window was rotten and light gray, and the cotton paper of the pasted window was also full of holes and black, and under the grass eaves, which showed poverty, an old woman in black coarse cloth was looking up at the cry of Toma, her name was Dali, she was Toma's mother, and she was in her early 6o this year. "Mar'er, why did you come back so early today? Da Li put down the hemp rope in her hand, and the corners of her eyebrows that were occupied by wrinkles revealed the kindness that belonged to her mother, maybe her eyes were not good, and her eyes were a little squinted when she looked at people.
"Mother, mother, the eldest brother's army has won, and Red Moon City has not been captured. Toma eagerly stepped forward and took her mother's hand, a smile of excitement on her childish face.
Tali shuddered, the expression on her face was full of explanations of her mood, shocking surprise, and the corners of her lips trembled, "You--who are you listening to?"
"Do you need to listen to anyone? Now the streets are singing that the Falcon Division has defeated the attack of the Kotrou Empire and annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops. Toma happily held her mother's hand and said.
"That's good, that's good. With tears in her eyes, Ta Li bent down, folded her hands on her chest, and prayed here sincerely, "O Ashumo, God of Creation, please bless your faithful people, and let my eldest son, Tuoling, return safely." β
"Mother. As soon as Toma was about to say something, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the distance, and in a few moments, the sound of exclamations, shouting, kicking of the door, and the slight collision of gold and iron had been heard.
"What's going on?" the mother and son looked at each other in confusion, and at the same time, the Dessa family, who lived in the back, and dozens of neighbors around them, surrounded them.
Just as everyone was talking and walking towards the front, dozens of soldiers in armor had already caught their eyes, whether it was their demeanor, expression, or behavior, all of them showed that kind of arrogance and imperiousness, "Bah, you inferior people, where are you going? "A soldier leader with inverted eye sockets and a strange nose and mouth protruding outwards was thunderous.
"I've read the notice, and it doesn't say that there is excess grain to buy at a high price. Master Jun, look at it, there's extra food here. "Uncle Desa was a mercenary in his youth, and he was outspoken, but he had a bit of a fiery temper.
The leader of the soldiers stared fiercely at Uncle Dessa, and said viciously: "Master Frank said, you inferior people are the most cunning, and you must refuse to hand over the excess food, and you must search carefully." After speaking, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, "Every household has been carefully searched for me, don't let these poor ghosts succeed in their cunning." β
"Yes. "The soldiers swept into the houses like the wind, and the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets, and throwing pots and cans was clearly audible.
"Stop, you robbers. Toma's face was pale, and his eyes were wide and wide, like a sharpened nose.
The leader of the soldiers, who had been resting on the willow pole, shook his head in shock when he heard this, then straightened up, his eyes wide as if he were about to eat people. His eyeballs were bloodshot and terrifyingly shaped, and he roared viciously and hoarsely: "Come on, arrest this kid for me." β
"Yes. The two soldiers rushed forward and picked up Toma in almost no particular order. "What are you doing?" said Toma, struggling violently, and there was a surprisingly wild look on her flushed face!
"Don't arrest my son. Dali rushed out of the crowd, crying, tugging at the back of Toma's coat, refusing to let go no matter how much the two soldiers tugged.
"Mother. Toma's throat seemed to be dripping blood, and the struggle intensified. The neighbors behind him were all moved, and a few of them were already clenching their fists. "Old immortal, I'll give you a ride. The head of the soldier rushed up with a snort of wine, and with a hurry and speed, the shadow of his whirling legs kicked Dali away by two feet. "Mother. With a shrill howl like a wolf's howl, Toma broke free of his hands, and his figure shot like a rageous arrow, the target, the smirking soldier leader.
There was no time to dodge, the soldier leader was shocked by the strong momentum and staggered back three steps, annoyed and angry, and between the expansion and contraction of his right hand, Xue Liang and the knife slashed at Toma.
Seeing that Toma was about to die under the knife, Desa made a move, and the sleeves of his two robes were suddenly curled, and a round of light immediately surged up to protect Toma's whole body, the aperture was thick and tight, and it did not drip, let alone the shadow of the knife.
When the rest of the people saw their only remaining food being carried out one after another, they couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts, so the riot appeared, and the whole scene became even more chaotic and the feelings became more intense.
The leader of the soldiers saw that the poor people around him were gathering more and more, and he shouted strangely, and flew back, "There is a rebellion, someone has rebelled." β
In the middle of the staggering run, a whip shadow flew like a meteor, and with a "snap", his right cheek was hot and painful. Covering his face, he subconsciously looked up, only to see his top boss, this is the person in charge of the grain requisition, Captain Monell is riding on a horse, a broad and dark face is glowing with pale gold, a pair of eyes that reveal a cold light are round and wide, and the drooping right hand is still trembling holding the deerskin whip, "Stop me." β
With his roar, hundreds of soldiers stood in position, grabbed the angle, unsheathed their swords one by one, pointed their guns in front of them, their eyes condensed, and their whole bodies bowed slightlyβa posture like an arrow ready to fly.
In this way, the riot quickly subsided, and by this time, many people had already been injured, especially Toma, who was already bloodstained with blood and his head was scattered due to his inferior martial arts.
"What the hell is going on?" said Monell, grimacing the whip in his hand.
The soldier leader, enduring the fiery pain in his cheeks, told the whole story of the matter, and in his consciousness, perhaps thinking that he was not wrong, he did not lie.
After listening quietly, Monell turned his eyes and coldly swept at Toma and the others in front of him, at this time, there were more than 5oo poor people here, and it was still increasing in 6 years.
With a heavy sigh, Monell said stiffly, "Now, war is imminent, as subjects of the Empire, you should do your part for the Empire and the army. β
Seeing that his mother had been carried to the back, Toma put his heart at ease, took a step forward, and said calmly, "So, let me ask your lordship, as soldiers, how do you do your duty for the empire, and let the iron hooves of the Kotru Empire wreak havoc on our heads, is that also called responsibility?"
"This kid is so ignorant. Seeing Toma's bitter words, Desa, who was behind him, not only pinched a cold sweat for him.
Looking at each other, Monell said calmly: "Who are you? β
"Who am I?" Thoma pulled a smile, a smile so fresh, so honest and so innocent, but full of pride and pride. "My name is Toma, and I'm the younger brother of Torring, a falcon soldier. β
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze suddenly because of the words Falcon Soldier, and people's hearts seemed to suddenly tighten, and after a moment of silence, everyone's eyes on Toma also changed, if nothing else, only because he was the younger brother of the Falcon Soldier. The bloody battle of Red Moon City has made the Falcon Soldiers become Crow City, become the Pami Plains, and become heroes in the eyes of all those who have heard of the falcon's deeds, heroes are worthy of respect, and the hero's family is also worthy of respect.
Subconsciously, unconsciously, all the poor people moved closer to Toma. Although there is still a remnant of humility on their faces, their eyes are full of pride, because they will fight for the hero's family.
Toma was a little surprised, but immediately relieved, and at the same time her heart was full of pride, and silently thought, "Brother, do you see? This is the glory of being a falcon soldier." β
As a soldier, Monell understands why such a subtle change has occurred, and he can understand how everyone is feeling at the moment.
Yes, only the falcon soldiers could bravely cut the arrogant throats of the Cortrux soldiers when the emperor ** team was retreating.
Yes, only a falcon soldier can bring the dawn of victory and pride when everyone's hearts are about to be swallowed up by the shadow of defeat.
Yes, only falcon soldiers can use their lives and flesh and blood to maintain the dignity of the empire and soldiersββββββββ
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Monell's eyes became complicated, a little confused, a little stunned and a little bitter. "Retreat. Monell tugged at the reins of his horse in some frustration, and the setting sun stretched the shadows of him and his soldiers, leaving a faint word. "Hats off to your brother. β
