Chapter 551: Hurt's Decision
After listening to Ying Wu's words, Wang Yong's heart knot was gently untied, and he felt that what Ying Wu said was very right, and now he was feeling useless, it was better to think about how to make the survivors live better.
Wang Yong stretched a big lazy waist, smiled gratefully at Shadow Dance and said, "Thank you Shadow Dance, I figured it out." Seeing a charming smile on Wang Yong's face again, Ying Wu smiled happily.
At this time, Hurt was hiding in the dense jungle and venting his frustration on a giant tree, mixed with a strong fighting spirit, every punch on the tree, and more than a dozen people hugged the thick giant tree would make a thumping sound. Hurt's fist was covered in blood, stained with a bright red color on the trunk that had lost the protection of its bark, and it looked so shocking.
Around Hurt, most of the fifty or sixty soldiers in unarmoured armor were nervously guarded, and only a few dozen or so were sitting on the ground, bandaging each other's wounds.
Hurt vented the frustration in his heart regardless of it, but what he didn't notice was that the guards around him looked at him with no previous awe and worship in their eyes, and now there was a trace of contempt and contempt in their eyes, because the commander Hurt they had admired before actually turned his back on the dignity of a soldier, and actually left his subordinates who had followed him for many years on the battlefield and became a deserter in front of everyone.
Hurt's heart is also very bad now, but he doesn't feel too much guilt, because he is still alive, and for Hurt in adversity, this is enough, as for those subordinates who have been abandoned by him, the only thing he can do now is to pray for them, hoping that they will also live.
Hurt roared angrily and slammed his fist on the trunk with his strongest fighting spirit, and after the sawdust splashed everywhere, Hurt, who had been vented, stopped, sat down under the big tree with red eyes, and let the captain of the guard let him bandage his wounds. His eyes looked at the little gap in the dense canopy, and he was in a daze at the faint light.
It wasn't all smooth sailing after Hurt left with his personal guards, as they were just out of Dani's team's air cover when they were followed by Shirley, Daisy, and Phoebe, who had been watching them from the air.
All the way north into the jungle, you need to pass a long distance through the open field, and on the grass for more than ten miles, Hutt and his two hundred personal guards were beaten by the enemy's flying monsters and magicians, until when they rushed into the jungle, there were less than a hundred people left.
And that's not all, Hurt led the remnants of his army through the dense forest to the north. Although the dense forests hide their tracks, they are free from the pursuit of enemy flying beasts and magicians, but they are constantly attacked by poisonous insects and beasts everywhere.
As the strongest light cavalry in the Eternal Empire, they rarely walked in the jungle, and the danger of the jungle was far greater than they expected, so not long after entering the jungle, dozens of soldiers fell again when facing the crazy and fearless beast. Knowing that it was ten o'clock in the morning, Hurt personally took action, and after solving a primary earth bear, he stayed on the territory of this solitary demonic beast to rest.
Long. Hurt looked at the captain of the guard sitting beside him, sighed slightly, and said in a desolate and helpless voice: "What now? After only one night of walking and sacrificing more than 20 brothers, I don't think we can go back alive." ”
Hurt waved his hand to stop the captain of the guard, Raphael, from speaking. After looking at the tired guards, he finally hesitated and said, "Raphael, how many years have you been with me?"
Without hesitation, Raphael replied, "Sir." Your subordinates have been following you for ten years. ”
Hurt nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "It's been ten years? Time flies so fast, I still remember when we first met, I was just an ordinary petty officer, and you, who were working as coolies in the logistics army at that time, had a lot of food, but you had a lot of strength, and you usually did more work than others, but you were also hated by other soldiers and accused you of stealing military supplies." ”
Raphael said with a grateful face: "Yes, if I hadn't met you at that time, I wouldn't have survived until now." ”
Hurt smiled slightly, shook his head, and then changed his words, looked into Raphael's eyes and said, "Do you think I am despicable and shameless, and I abandoned so many subordinates to become deserters in order to survive?"
Seeing Raphael shake his head, Hurt straightened his face and said, "Tell the truth." Raphael bowed his head and remained silent.
Hurt laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Hehe, I know it if you don't say it, but in fact, I think I'm shameless." ”
Raphael raised his head and said with an anxious expression: "Sir"
Before Raphael could continue, Hurt interrupted Raphael again with a wave of his hand, and said with a long breath: "You don't need to persuade me anything, since I became the captain of the wing and got the title of the empire, I have begun to change, become guilty of profit, become unscrupulous, and now, I have thrown the dignity and persistence of being a soldier out of the clouds, and I don't know what this is for." In the past, I thought that it was the social atmosphere and the rotten system that changed me, but I just realized that it was myself who changed me, my inflated vanity and greed for more. ”
Raphael pursed his lips and said, "Sir, we can start again and regain our previous persistence." ”
Hurt smiled bitterly and said, "It's late, it's already late." ”
Hurt patted Raphael on the shoulder and said, "It is the pride of my life to have a brother like you in this life, Raphael, if you still treat me as a friend, I hope you can help me do something." Raphael nodded heavily.
Hutt changed his previous decadence, handed his badge to Raphael, and said: "Okay, you promise me to find as many soldiers as alive as possible, and then take them to Shenlong Pass, and in my name find the lord of the coastal province to surrender." ”
Seeing Raphael looking at himself stunned, Hurt explained: "We have no supplies, and the only way back to the empire is blocked, if they don't surrender, all that awaits them is death." As for me, as a commander who betrayed his subordinates and betrayed his dignity, this is the only thing I can do for everyone. Raphael also knows this, surrender, is the only way to survive now.
Raphael looked at Hurt and asked eagerly, "What about you, sir, aren't you going with me?"
Hurt shook his head and said, "I don't have the face to see those subordinates, and besides, I escaped from the battle, even if I surrender, maybe the empire will redeem me with gold coins, and what awaits me will be even greater humiliation and torture." I don't want to live like that, I plan to leave alone, if I can get out of the forest alive, I will also leave the Eternal Empire, find a place where no one knows me, and live in peace.
