Chapter 41: The Dawn Tragedy (4)
Remy sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the wall, his helmet in his arms, his loose burqa on his body, but he didn't show any spirit.
A young man about his age sat opposite, carefully folding the black cloth military uniform in his hand, and holding a somewhat shabby, but clean as new helmet and a long sword.
The young man reluctantly placed his military uniform at the head of the bed, neatly placed it with the coarse cloth blanket, and then sat there without saying a word, raising his head from time to time to look at Remy in front of him.
The two of them didn't say anything, and there was a little tacit understanding in the silence -- probably, there was no need to say anything?
On the same day they joined the army, lived in the same barracks, learned horsemanship and swordsmanship on the same day, taught them how to use the rough cavalry spear, and on the same day received their own horses.
They speak the same language and do the same things, but their fates are two different destinies.
Remy............ I want to say......" The boy decided to persuade the other party once, or to do Zuihou's confirmation: "YouγAre you really going to stay?"
"I'm a knight. Remy didn't even blink an eye, and replied as if he were dead: "I'm a knight." β
"Yes, you're already an official Knight of the Dawn. The young man smiled dryly and looked at him, "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet!
βxiexieγ β
"I know! I know you must look down on me very much now! because I ............ after all Became a deserter. The young man lowered his head and put his hands on his forehead: "No matter what others say, this is very dishonorable!"
"But I really can't die here!" Although I did choose this path by myself, I always felt that I could go on ............like this forever," said the young man in a loud voice, "I want to see my family! They are all in the north, in Salion! I want to go to them!"
"And, and Uya!"
Hearing this name made Remy, who had been depressed, suddenly feel refreshed, but soon became depressed again and lowered his head.
"So I ask for your forgiveness. I don't owe anyone but I owe you!" The boy looked up and looked at Remy with his eyes: "I won't give any explanation, but...... I beg your forgiveness for me!"
β............ You don't owe anyone. Remy said softly, "You just followed your heart's mind and did what you thought was right, and you don't owe anyone anything." β
"So you don't need my forgiveness either. β
"What's ...... Need something I need to do for you?" the boy asked, "Or...... Do you need me to bring it for you?"
"Take care ......of my mother for me, as for the rest," Remy thought for a moment and sighed, "I wish you happiness!"
"I will. β
The boy nodded, picked up a cloth bag and slung it over his shoulder, stood up and walked out the door.
Remy whispered to stop him.
"When you met my mother, and ............ Uya told them that Remy ...... Went to the Far North Wasteland, where he sold furs. Let them not worry, and when I am rich, I will go back to them immediately. β
"I will. The young man didn't look back, leaned against the door frame and whispered, "I'll definitely bring the words!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The sun was setting, the flag was raised, and there was not even a hare on the desolate plains, only weeds with no edges in sight, and the wind that rolled up the yellow sand.
The soldiers stood on the ramparts, patiently waiting for the night to fall. The night is always scary, but now everyone is hoping that it will come soon.
The night can also hide all fears.
The air was so cold that it made people shiver to the bones, and wisps of fire smoke floated into the sky, but it didn't bring even a trace of warmth.
"Has the Courier already departed?"
Terenus whispered to Landzel beside him.
"I set off with the people who left. The chief knight slowly walked over to him and sat down: "I'll be there tomorrow." β
"I hope so. β
"Speaking of which, it seems like we've never fought against such a number of orcs. Terenus turned his head and said, "Twenty thousand orc warriors are not ordinary orcs old and weak!"
"Probably a warrior from some tribe, right?"
"How long can we hold out?"
"It doesn't matter!" Terenus stood up and walked under the flagpole to look up at the faded glorious cross flag, "When we stand here, all the meaning doesn't matter. β
"You have to think about how to deploy it, right?"
"We'll talk about it then!" replied Terenus with some irritation, "If it were me, there would be no need for any deployment at all! There are 20,000 of them, and we are only in the early 3,000! As long as you attack all four sides at the same time, it is unstoppable!"
"Hey, don't lose your temper!" Landzel walked over and patted Terenus on the back, "Anyway, sooner or later, I'll die!"
"Xiexie, I'm ...... Hurry to get on fire. Terenus lowered his head and smiled reluctantly, holding the wide belt around his waist, his eyes looking into the distance, looking at the unknown horizon.
"Faster than I thought. β
"yes. Terenus agreed.
"Do you want to blow the trumpet?" asked Landzel.
"I don't think so. Terenus smiled bitterly, turned around and inhaled sharply, like an angry lion:
"All Ready - !!!!!!"
"Roarββββββββββ ββββββββββ!!!!!!!!!!!"
A savage and desolate roar came from afar, shaking the whole world!
..............................
No one knows exactly where they started.
Gray, as if a moving ocean, churning rolling waves, gushing out of the horizon under the rising sun, and then encroaching on everything in sight little by little!
The roar of the beast, the rough howl, the dull drums of war, what was that like?
It was as if even the air had become silent, oppressive, and breathless.
The warriors clenched their weapons tightly, which would give them a sense of security and not panic!
Unlike the fearlessness of the knights' charges, the resoluteness of the sergeants, and the silent silence of the archers. The undisciplined orc army seems to be born like this, chaotic, but very tacitly understanding, shouting slogans and walking forward, as if they are on a journey!
"Terenus!" shouted Landzel, "can you see which of their lines is wider, and which is narrower?"
"......No," the old knight gritted his teeth, "they want a quick victory!"
There is no main direction of attack, no weak point, and the rolling river composed of wild orcs is bound to completely submerge this small castle!
As it approached, the river suddenly split into two and gradually moved towards both sides of the castle!
They want to surround the castle!
The natural liliang and the absolute superiority in numbers give them full confidence to completely destroy this castle!
"That's good. Landzer said, "There is no way out, but to fight to the death!"
"No! they're smarter than we think. Terenus shook his head slowly: "Surround us, soon we will despair, and then surrender on our own initiative." β
"Who would go and be willing to surrender the orcs?!"
"It's better to be a slave than to die!" said Terenus in a deep voice, "for most people, it is. Because they don't know what it's like to live under the hands of orcs!"
With that, Terenus turned and walked to the top of the tower, standing beneath the Radiant Cross Banner, raising his long sword, the light reflected by the bright blade attracting everyone's attention.
"Brethren of the Knights of the Dawn! and all the brave warriors who remain! I am with you!
"You have made your own Zuihou choice, you are determined to defend this great country until the moment of Zuihou! I thank you, thank you for being able to stand with me at this moment, at this moment!"
"The enemy army is approaching, you see, they! they have surrounded this castle, they are outnumbered! they think they can force us to surrender in this way! they make us despair and willingly become their slaves!" Tyrenus's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and trembled, "They don't know who defends this place!!!"
"Isos, Seiz, Janos, Riazor............ We have too many cities and homes in their hands, and it makes them arrogant! Disdain us! It's a shame!"
"Defenders of the Empire, please draw your swords and give them a memory that will last forever!" the old knight shouted, shouting with all his might: "Radiant Cross - !!!!!"
"Radiance Cross ββββββββ!!!!!!!!"
"Radiance Cross ββββββββββ!!!!!!!"
"Radiance Cross ββββββββββββ!!!!!"
The sound of the drum has been beaten, the trumpet is echoing in the ears, the enemy is in front of you, the sword is clenched in your hands!
That's the legend -- sprinkled with blood, forged with a sword!
(Well, that's a bit of nonsense.)
Sora is starting to be a little hysterical.,Even if you're walking on the road, you'll start to involuntarily fall into the novel shijie.,It seems to be a scream in my ears.,It's a little enchanted.,The last few chapters will be more manic.,War scenes or something began to increase.,Actually, the empty air prefers to write more normal chapters.,And for the word tragedy.,The empty has some new feelings.γ
What is tragedy? Hundreds of thousands of people scrape off the tragedy at every turn, because it is difficult for readers and friends to have an intuitive sense, and only when a character who everyone has read a few chapters and thinks it is good can he receive a boxed lunch...... I think it should be like this - emotionless things can't move people with feelings, only the moment when the living life withers, can the most beautiful liliang be reflected.
Ouch!an accidental spoiler!)
