Chapter 42: The Dawn Tragedy (5)

The cold wind blew, and the Tulga Castle was lit up with fire, the only light in the wilderness, and the thick torches on the walls illuminated the sections of the walls.

In the army, it is common knowledge that the fire should be extinguished in the middle of the night -- and lighting a torch at night is tantamount to telling the enemy where he is, and it is not conducive to the layout of the barracks, and once a fire is caused, it will be out of control.

But that's the common sense of the "human army", in front of the orc army, the so-called night truce is a joke in itself, in fact they have already succeeded in sneak attacks at night more than once.

The warriors huddled behind the city walls, chatting together, looking out from time to time, drinking hot soup to keep warm.

Despite his relaxation, he still had his weapon at hand, and he did not lose his vigilance for a moment.

Wilha sat with the soldiers cold, his freshly made sword at his waist, his delicate chain mail glittering in the firelight.

"They...... Will it really attack tonight?"

A soldier asked curiously, clutching the short sword in his hand, leaning against his shield, with a nervous look on his face: "I mean...... Don't they have to rest?"

"Because they are orcs, unlike humans, orcs also have a very haodeshili at night. Will said with a smile, looking at the stupid eyes around him, Will did not hesitate, and explained to these big-headed soldiers: "This is their usual tactic, because it is difficult for us to see clearly at night, so if we are not prepared, it is easy to be attacked by these savage guys!"

"What a terrible beast!" the soldier shook his head incredulously, "I have never seen such an enemy." ”

"That's why our army has been defeated again and again, and they have lost to the fear of the unknown. Will nodded, then smiled, "But we've already seen it, so ...... If they attack the walls, we will find them a hundred yards away, and then we will entertain them with our bows and arrows!"

"Yes, shoot them!" the soldier screamed, waving his bow and arrows.

"That's itβ€”!!" the soldiers next to him also responded excitedly.

"As long as we hold on to the castle, dwarven reinforcements will arrive soon. Will said in a friendly tone, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, "Lord Terenus has sent a good knight, you all know, that great boy named Remy! he will rush to New Gar as fast as he can, and then return with a strong army!"

And then ...... All of us will be remembered, and there is no reason why such a story should not be passed on!" Will smiled and said, "Think about it, what a great story it is that three thousand warriors against twenty thousand orcs, holding on to the territory of the empire?! When you are old, your son will be able to say to others: Hey, you know what? My father, who was once one of them, slaughtered several damned savage orcs with his own hands!"

Will is extremely eloquent, and his words are vivid, so that these big-headed soldiers can't help but laugh, and the bravery in their hearts is becoming more and more determined, and they can't wait for the orcs to attack quickly, otherwise how can they show their bravery and fearlessness?

Will looked at the soldier with a relaxed joy on his face and calmly took a sip of hot soup. As the lieutenant of Lord Raymond, the garrison, he knew better than anyone what to do and what to say. Although the glory and perseverance of the heart can make the soldiers face death calmly, it cannot help them to show their liliang and fight the enemy with enthusiasm when facing the enemy.

Only visible glory can boost their morale -- since they have chosen this path, it means that they have no longer cared about life and wealth, and all that remains is the glory of eternity.

Give them what they want, and they'll put the most passion into it -- it's funny, it's stupid, but it's also practical, it's real.

"Will ...... I mean Sir Will. The soldier stretched out his head with some curiosity and looked at him: "When you officially retire...... Oh sorry, I don't mean anything else, we're always going to retire, are we? I mean, what would you do if that day happened?"

"Of course! You're right, if...... If we can really survive!" Will smiled and said disapprerovingly, "Maybe it's to the north, or to the Black Rock Basin in the west, my father is a blacksmith, so I plan to inherit my family business." ”

"Blacksmith, not something else?" the soldier was a little disappointed.

"Actually, I've always hoped that one day I can make a real sword for myself!" Will grinned, "A real, indestructible sword!"

"Like the Radiant Cross?"

"Oh don't be stupid, that's just a legend!" Will smiled and shook his head, "That kind of weapon...... Of course it may have existed, but ...... No one, except the great Emperor Aragon, and the father of our empire, Alfonso I Bixia, who ever had it?"

"There's a fire!"

A soldier suddenly pointed to the night opposite and said, "Over there, there's a fire!"

"Go and blow the trumpet, the enemy may have moved something. Will stood up and commanded in a loud voice: "All stand on the wall, and the bows and arrows are wound."

"My lord, I mean it!" The soldier saw that Will was leaving, and quickly stopped him: "There is a fire on the other side!"

"Oh don't be stupid! my little brother, get back to your post quickly!" Will smiled impatiently and pulled his clothes, "You must be mistaken, no fool would carry a torch during a night attack!"

"I mean it, I didn't lie to you!" Feeling distrusted, the little soldier puffed out his cheeks, his face flushed, and he stared at Will with wide eyes: "There is indeed a fire! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Get back to your post! it's an order!" Will didn't pay any more attention to him, but gave a stern order, "Execute the order!"

"Understood, sir!" though still unconvinced, the soldier saluted, picked up his bow and arrows, and returned to his place.

"Oh my God, the Radiant Cross is on top, and the adjutant is really not good!" Will who complained slightly, turned his head indifferently, looked at the other side, and muttered: "What else do you say about firelight............"

"What's that?"

The word stunned could no longer describe Will's expression, almost as if he had seen the most terrible hell, staring at the other side.

A small point of light, gently shaking in the night, but soon began to scatter in the darkness of the opposite night, five, six, ten、............ One after another, the red light showed its head on the opposite side, as if it was in harmony with each other, and quickly spread out on the opposite side, from an inconspicuous point of light to a brilliant galaxy!

"Oh my God...... What the hell are they going to do?"

At this time, it was not just Will and the little soldier, everyone found a surprised scene, it was simply the most unreasonable thing in the world, and it actually appeared in front of their eyes!

"Look! Something is flying!"

A soldier's shout woke up Will, who was immersed in astonishment, and as far as the eye could see, several brighter "stars" had risen in the quiet "Milky Way"!

Fear, surprise, puzzlement............ Will didn't know what to say, and saw that those bright "stars" were speeding towards this direction at a very fast speed.

"Everyoneβ€”" Will said with a hint of tremor in his tone, raised his right hand high, swallowed softly, and then roared out with all his might:

"Get down ――――――――――!!!!!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was only a brief moment, but it became an eternity in Will's eyes.

The fireballs that burned violently fell from the sky like meteors and rushed into the castle! The fireballs in the sky pierced the sky one after another, with scorching temperatures and thick black smoke.

"Knock-!!!............!

The fireball exploded violently and smashed heavily on the solid city wall! The sound of vibration was incessant! The roar burst out like a wave of flames, engulfing everything around them in an instant! The huge roar seemed to explode in the mind, making people feel their presence!

Even the walls were shaking, and it seemed that the whole castle was shaking! Terrible meteors crashed wildly against this impregnable castle, leaving deep holes in the walls on the ground every time, and thick black smoke enveloped Tulga Castle!

A soldier standing relatively close to the edge of the city wall was even directly torn off the city wall by the huge liliang! And the comrade next to him may have been too fragile, and fell directly on the city wall, blood spurting from his ears and nostrils - he was actually shocked to death by the sound of the fireball!

"Get down, don't get out of placeβ€”!" Will shouted as he ran, "Don't get out of place!!!"

The loud roar made his ears ring, and he couldn't even hear what he was saying, just running, shouting, hoping that more people would hear him.

The soldiers who were still in the castle began to panic, staring blankly at what was happening, and their bodies began to disobey, standing there not knowing what to do.

Fear and insecurity allow a seasoned warrior to become a rabble.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Landzel looked at the fireballs flying in the sky angrily and confused: "How did those orcs have trebuchets?!"

"Weishenme, you're still asking this?!" Terrenus roared, "Do you want me to teach you what to do now?!!"

"Soldiers, my brethren!" Terenus took the banner of the Glorious Cross from the side and held it high in his hand: "Follow me! Advance! Forward! Find cover! Prepare for formation!"

Terenus's shouts awakened the bewildered soldier and regained his backbone. Remembering what they had to do, the warriors began their work with a clear division of laborβ€”putting out fires, fetching water, and holding the gates, and without saying a word, they walked back and forth through the roaring castle, silent as ants.

Roaring, wailing, cracking.................. All this is a magnificent overture of blood and fire, which death cheers and the flames dance with!

The young soldier wailed in pain on the ground, his leg broken by the falling rubble, his upper body was covered with the smell of burning, and the flames made his blood coagulate, and he could not die for a while.

Will gasped and stood beside him with his sword in hand, looking at the young face, he couldn't even say any words of comfort.

The soldier raised his head with all his might, barely squeezing out a smile, a pleading smile, and stretched out his blackened right hand to Will: "Please............ Please............"

Will shuddered and nodded slightly, gripped the hilt of his sword back, the sharp tip of the sword aimed at his chest. The bright tip of the sword easily pierced the soldier's heart, and with a smile of satisfaction, the soldier closed his eyes.

"Poof!" Will fell to the ground, staring up at the sky in a daze, his expression glazed over.

"Will!"

Landzel shouted, ran over in a hurry, and only after seeing that the other party was still alive did he show a hint of relief: "Can you still stand up?"

"Your Excellency. Will looked at him and staggered to his feet, "Sir!"

"It's only the first day, hold on, young man. Landzel sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't collapse so quickly!"

"In the future, it will be a hundred times more difficult than this!"
