Volume II, Chapter 3
"Report to the sir!" the officer saluted the man on horseback, "The infantry battalion has prepared food and a place to rest!
"Where are their heads?" the man on the horse was dressed in white and looked cold and arrogant, is this my opponent?
"Report!" "It's my turn," our chief has gone with us to pick you up early in the morning!
I have already sent to inform the sir! he will be there in a moment!" "Absent?" the officer in white looked at me with suspicion, and after a moment's thought, he was about to speak.
My heart almost went to my throat.
At this moment, an officer next to the white-clothed officer leaned over and whispered, "The soldiers are too tired for the horses to hold on." ”
The officer in white had no choice but to step off his horse and say the words I had been waiting for for a long time, "Eat and rest! No one takes off his armor, and the horse does not leave the saddle!"
"Someone!" I called to the soldier on one side, "and lead the captain's horse to the stable." ”
"No," said the white-clad officer, handing over his horse to a personal soldier, "your sir, Mr. Ligu, is it all right?"
"It's all right, but our chief's name is Vincent!" I replied aloud, I had been guarding against you!
He nodded in relief and walked into the tent for them under my guidance.
After arranging a qiē, I withdrew. From afar, I saw the cavalrymen tying up their horses and stepping aside to eat. Only a small group of men guarded dozens of horses with large bags in the center of the camp.
Marfa came up to me and whispered to me, "All in." The camp gate is closed. ”
I nodded. Take Marfa to a small tent.
The tents were packed with people. All of them were covered in sweat.
"What's the matter?" I quipped as I put on my black iron armor.
"I'm not afraid, it's stuffy. Moya said with a bitter face.
I smiled "hehe", "I'll take you out right away to breathe." ”
"Boss!" said Marfa looking out through a small hole in the tent, "they're all eaten!"
"Let them be fed!" I said, "or the food will go to waste." ”
"But......" said Moya slowly, "Boss, give them that kind of thing...... Is it really possible?"
"You remember. You all remember. I looked at all the people around me, "For me, as long as I can let my soldiers die less, even if it is one less! I am willing to do anything! You will do the same in the future, no matter what you do, and you don't care what others think, as long as it is beneficial to us, you can do it! Other personal reputation or something...... Throw it away for me from now on!"
"Yes!"
Who would have thought that this passage would create the first official of the Duchy in the future, the "despicable official" - Jack. That's what more people call him.
From the back, we slowly approached the tent where the officers were eating, and the soldiers stood one by one in the pre-arranged positions. A few people in the front row slowly squatted down. Gently peel the dirt off the ground, find the end of the rope from the ground and hold it tightly in your hand.
I looked over to the watchtower in the center of the camp, and a sentry was on fire and gestured to me in a peculiar way, telling me that the whole camp was ready.
Long tassels in hand.
What are you waiting for? I'm a little anxious.
Suddenly, dozens of magical fireballs of intense light appeared on both sides of the camp almost simultaneously, disrupting the silence of the night with a whistling sound, drawing flight curves with the light of the fire, shouting and falling into the open-air dining foes.
With such a large-scale magical sneak attack, any efforts of the enemy were in vain. In fact, not many enemies were aware of the attack. More people only realized that something was wrong when the fireball was coming, and they could only watch in amazement as the fireball smashed down. Judging from their expressions, it seemed as if they were without thinking at that moment.
Some of the fireballs slammed directly into the ground, making loud noises and bursting. The magical energy sealed in the ball by the magician pushed a dense tongue of fire to spread out in all directions. Enemies directly hit by the fireball were burned into charcoal before they could even scream, and the flames scurried around, tongues of fire jumped, sparks flew, devouring the qiē they encountered, burning them, turning them into a part of themselves...... Countless flaming enemies rolled on the ground, howling and crying, with voices that were not humanly human, and the voices were full of pain, panic, and fear...... The twitch spread through the night sky. Magical flames are not easily extinguished, so after a short time, such sounds fall silent in the flames.
There were three enemies in the camp, all surrounded. The soldiers hiding in the tents and underground were the first to appear, and those hiding outside the camp continued to run in.
In a very short time, the unburned enemies gathered together in twos and threes, chewed the last bite of food, and grabbed the weapons in their hands. In the light of the fire, their blood-red eyes glared at our soldiers who rushed in formation.
At the moment when the fireball flew, beside me, the soldiers holding the ropes shouted in unison and pulled hard together. At the other end of the rope was the post of the officer's dining tent. There was a bang...... The tent collapsed, and the entire roof fell over the heads of the hapless ones. Dull scolding and exclamations came through the thick tent.
"Kill!" the soldiers in the front row shouted, their spears stabbing at their bodies that were still struggling under the tent.
One time, two times...... With screams, blood splattered from rows of piercing holes.
"Kill!" the soldiers behind rushed up, regardless of whether the human figure under the tent was still moving, and there was a burst of swords and swords, all of which were cut into pulp.
It was almost a one-sided massacre.
Most of the enemy officers were just done in a daze, and their flesh and blood were stained on the tabernacle.
"Whew!" the largest tent was slashed open with a sword, and four high-ranking officers of the enemy jumped out. The two of them swung their swords to clear the way, escorting the officer in white and rushing towards the place where I stood.
The latter moved a little slowly, and was immediately stabbed by seven or eight spears. "Ah......h
"Despicable behavior!" the officer in white scolded, looking at me. “!”
"I'm sorry!" I saluted him back when he was restored to his true self. "If you become a king or lose, you will lose!"
"Is it over......" he looked around, his white lips trembling slightly. The camp was full of fires, and screams could be heard everywhere.
"I'm going to fight fair!" he looked past the two officers in front of him, his eyes straight at me, "I!
You!" "As you wish!" I stepped forward, the black iron knife in my hand unsheathed, "I hope you don't disappoint me." “
"For the honor of the nobility!" he rushed over brandishing his broadsword. "Look at the sword!"
"For the honor of the nobility!" Almost at the same time, the two officers behind him also rushed in the other direction.
Our swords collided together, splashing a few sparks, and both of us were jolted a step at the same time. Several screams were heard, and the two officers were already dead under the indiscriminate arrows.
"!" I slashed again. The white-clothed officer's big sword was long, not to mention blocking my attack, but also "swishing" to attack me three times in a row, one sword was more vicious than the other, showing his strong nature.
I gritted my teeth and held the knife in both hands. Catch these three swords of great power. I knew he wouldn't last long, especially after eating the food I had prepared for him. There's a special stuffing in there.
We're tearing together again. My weapon is very advantageous, and the length and weight of the black iron knife in my hand are so appropriate, especially the 4o cm long hilt, which makes it easy for me to wield flexible moves. The white-clothed officer retreated again and again.
"Take me!" the panting officer in white made a desperate move. The poison in the food was already showing signs of work, and his face was blue and sweating like rain.
"I summon you, in exchange for my life, and borrow your great power to clear the obstacles before me......" His great sword was raised high, and there were words in his mouth, and a trace of red light began to appear on the blade, and the red light traveled on the blade, changing, getting thicker and thicker, and it was about to cover the blade......
"That's the Fire Dragon Sword!
"The dragon sword!" I jumped out of the way, snatched the spear from one of the soldiers beside me, and threw it with a bang!
"Ahh He looked at me, his eyes full of disdain and unwillingness, and the red light on the blade of the sword gradually dissipated.
I slashed him and divorced his head and arms from his body.
"Magic with me, me!" I didn't look back, and led the soldiers straight to the bustle. We are needed there.
Now the camp has become hell, and we are demons.
Came to the most intense part of the battle, no one talked nonsense, and immediately melted into the battle line. The enemy in this position was the last to eat, and was not poisoned yet.
Officers, large and small, are on the front line, using their rich experience to lead the soldiers to tear apart. Unlike the last time they rode on horseback, my soldiers cooperated tacitly and advanced and retreated.
Our soldiers were all tied with strips of white cloth on their arms for identification, pikemen and sword soldiers charged at the enemy in a neat formation, and the archers were a few steps behind to support. The mages have already used levitation on themselves, performing magical strikes on enemies in the air. The winged man was even more busy flying, holding a bow and arrow to shoot the enemies that stood out from the encirclement to the ground......
The resistance of the enemy was fierce, although their defeat was assured, although some of them continued to fall with blood spat from poisoning. They were still fighting, rushing at us in neat rows, and they wanted to stay alive.
The people around him roared in hoarse voices, their red eyes glaring, and the weapons in their hands were wielding them completely instinctively. There is only one thing in my heart, kill, kill, kill, kill the enemy in front of you, and you can live! Kill!
All the goodness and ideals are no less than a rotten knife in the hand, redeem the soul, and no one thinks about the future life, these become unimportant, as long as you can kill him before the enemy's weapon is killed, then you can count yourself as having a qiē...... Stabbed with spears and slashed with swords, all of them were hideous-faced and bloodstained. I don't know at all if it's my own or the enemy's. Even if the blood covered his eyes, he didn't have his free hand to wipe it. The smell of blood in the air was so thick that one had to breathe through one's mouth. The sound of the armor being punctured irritates the eardrum along with the sound of the bone breaking......
If you don't kill, people will kill you!
Three enemies rushed at me. I sneered and handed over the blade. Pierce the body of an enemy. A diagonal stroke. Pull his body out of a gap. Then the blade spun and chopped off the other guy's head. After slashing back the remaining enemy, I withdrew from the front, and I already knew what was going on, so I didn't need to stay here any longer.
The rest of the camp had fallen silent. I shouted, directing the soldiers who had just arrived from all over the place to throw spears at our soldiers into the enemy formation, which would relieve the pressure on the front.
Maybe it was the long tear-up that made my soldiers red-eyed, or maybe it was my voice that wasn't very clear on the battlefield. Or maybe it's the deep affection between the soldiers. Not only did the soldiers in the back howl and throw their spears and swords, but also their helmets and stones came in handy, and if someone told them that their heads could be stoned to death by the enemy, I am sure they would not hesitate to cut off their heads and throw them out.
Under the blows of our absolute superiority, the enemy's resistance is getting weaker and weaker......
Finally...... The last enemy was pinned to the spear and held high by the soldiers like a monument.
He hung his head weakly, his body twitching, and large strands of blood poured out of the wound, all the way down the body of the spear. It's shocking.
The soldiers cheered, whether they knew each other or not. They all shed tears of joy "haha" laughing and patting each other's shoulders and hugging each other.
Suppressing the feeling of extreme nausea, I found a place to drink water, otherwise I would definitely vomit......
"If you have a good heart, you don't go to war, you will perish, if you have great ideals, you don't go to war, you will die, you will die in the slaughter! Your soul will not be redeemed, you will live in the darkness and ...... in the depths of the killing!"
I nodded to him, "Help me!"
"What about our casualties?" I asked him.
"It's being counted!'ll be the result soon!" he said, helping me along, "Sir, I've seen you kill the enemy! ”
A large crowd of officers gathered around, and when they saw me approaching, they all closed their mouths that were wide open.
"Our casualties were small," "None of the enemy escaped." ”
"Is there a living mouth?" I asked.
"Yes, but not much. "We are already interrogating them. ”
"Give them the antidote first, and then we'll talk about it after the interrogation," I took off my helmet and scratched my head, gathering my troubled thoughts, "Move the enemy's corpses to one place and burn them!
"Yes!" the officers replied aloud, and went their separate ways.
"How are you?", "It looks like you're feeling a little unwell. ”
"It's okay," I said, waving my hand, "it's just a little unaccustomed, and it'll be fine in a while." ”
"This is your first battle, and as far as your watch is concerned, you've done a great job. Martin Luther patted me on the shoulder, "Steady, your soldiers are watching you!"
"Okay!" I said, "then we'll patrol the camp on horseback!"
A smile came to my face as I watched the soldiers humming a little tune to check their equipment and get ready to get out. Yes, with so many soldiers able to return home safely, what do I have to regret? It can be said that my officers and I have saved many lives with our wisdom. As for the soldiers on the other side...... Since they are soldiers, they should understand that death is a traditional destination for soldiers. After thinking about this, my mood relaxed.
"Hello sir!" the soldiers saluted me with their heads held high, their eyes full of reverence.
"How do you feel?" I smiled back, "follow me, 'mean' sir?"
The battle is over, and there is no need to be so strict. But no one in the soldiers thought that I would joke like this, and they all froze.
"I didn't know before, sir!" replied a tall soldier, "but now I have made up my mind to follow you! I won't go anywhere, I won't go away with a whip!"
"Follow me?" I chuckled, "to be a 'mean' soldier?"
"That's not the case!" replied the big man, "oh! I forgot to call you sir, sir! I don't think fighting is the same as fighting two people, and it's not the same as duel. I haven't read a book, so I don't know what to say. But I know that fighting is for victory, and as long as I can win, I can make a fool of myself ......."
An officer slapped the big man on the head and interrupted him, "What are you talking nonsense!"
"I'm sorry, sir, he hasn't read, please forgive him!" said to the officer, "this guy is very brave! he has cut down a dozen enemies by himself, and I was about to recommend him as a squad leader." ”
"What are you doing?", "Who is going to do anything to him?"
"If your commander can't even listen to that," "Why are you your head?"
"The way he just wanted to protect you," I said to the big soldier, "is also a trick." ”
Hearing my words, a group of soldiers burst into laughter.
"Hurry up and prepare!" the officer smiled at me and exclaimed, "It's coming out soon!"
The soldiers scattered in a hurry.
In the distance, a flute sounded over. Although it is very rusty, it carries a deep sadness and deep nostalgia. With a move in my heart, I decided to go over and have a look.
In a clearing next to a small forest, a platoon of soldiers was digging a pit and parking the bodies of the soldiers who had died in the battle not far from them. They will bury them near.
A young soldier sits on the surface of a war drum, holding a cyan flute in his hand with a slight trembling hand. Blowing on a corpse that had not yet covered its face, sorrow unconsciously flowed from the blue eyes...... There were tears on his face.
"Who is he?" I walked up to him and asked him when he finished playing a song.
"Report to sir, he ...... It's my brother!" he said as he looked at me with vacant eyes, shuddering, "he's dead...... I won't be able to see my hometown again......"
I looked around, and there were more or less people standing next to each corpse, and that look, that sight, was sad.
"The corpse of a soldier is buried on the spot...... "This is the current tradition of all the armed forces, and soldiers are different from noble officers, not only in life, but also in the treatment after death." ”
"Not my tradition!" I said, "the soldiers have given their lives, and I must take them home!"
"Sir, what do you mean...... Is it true?" the soldiers gathered around me.
"Yes!!" I cried out, "we will never leave behind the remains of a wounded or a fallen soldier!
Cheers rang out, and the sonic boom shook the sky!
Leaving no one behind, this has become a true tradition of the dark army, and it has become a tradition of the public army in the future!
