The golden sunlight slowly pierced through the clouds, bathing the land in vibrant sunlight, and the siege of Geralens continued into the afternoon, and after defeating the counterattack that the city was trying to launch, the two sides entered a rare period of calm.

The weeds stretch their bodies comfortably in the morning breeze, and the unknown wildflowers absorb the sun, air and moisture under the sun's rays, so that they can grow taller and stronger, see higher and farther, and stay in this world for a longer time. 1——

On the right side of the city wall of the city of Gerlarence, which was almost in ruins, the black smoke rising from it appeared very abrupt and out of place in the air, and the entire city wall was littered with stones and rubble.

After a morning of devastation, the small city of Gerlarence has completely lost its former grandeur in the mountains, and only the ruins of the burning ruins remain.

The original 5-meter-high city wall was neatly reduced into black and white sections, and luckily the remaining half of the city wall was also burned black by the smoke formed by the fierce burning of the incendiary bombs, and under the root of the wall, there was a raging fire burning, emitting thick black smoke.

The arrow towers on the city walls are the key targets, whether it is the watchtowers protruding from the four corners of the city, or the more than ten arrow towers that have been temporarily erected, they have all collapsed and blown up in several rounds of bombardment. I can't see the original appearance, only the outline of a round stone pile, and there are still a few stone foundations, as if it can still show that there was once a strong arrow tower here.

The areas of the city roads that protrude from the ground are still easy to identify, and those areas of the city roads hidden behind the battlements are not fortified hiding caves, but they are the hardest hit areas of death by the Nords in this catastrophe of continuous explosions and burnings.

The scorching flame can rely on the hiding hole to dodge, but the suffocating smoke, in this era of chemical weapons that do not know what is at all, is immeasurable for a large number of soldiers crowded in a narrow and closed area, with toxic smoke, because of the burning and thin air, so that a large number of Nord soldiers were suffocated to death in the cave,

In particular, those who are close to the outermost extension of the city wall can no longer be called the Tibetan cave, when the Nord people who went to the rescue arrived, they found that the Nord soldiers who died of suffocation and poisoning were densely packed inside, and they almost died together in a group, which was miserable

The battle damage in front of him made Crimson Suo feel completely desperate, but after only half a day's attack, half of the 40,000 defenders were lost, and the corpses were piled up, stacked on top of each other in the place where the corpses were buried, making people dare not look at it more. Those who are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield logistics personnel. They were also terrified by the mountains of white corpses, and they were not willing to bury them until they tripled the price.

The worst are the wounded who were burned by the flames, in this era of lack of medical knowledge, in a battlefield that was overwhelmed by heavy soldiers and faced with a desperate situation,

A large number of wounded soldiers could not be properly treated, and Commander Roude placed them in the open field without any medical treatment, not even medical personnel.

Everyone was exposed to the cruel scorching sun, and the Nords believed that this would reduce the chance of wound infection, and there were flies flying everywhere, the wounds smelling unpleasant, and the hands of some wounded soldiers were chopped off, which was the Nord's usual method of treating arrow wounds, and they never lost their breath. is still moaning in its dying, making people afraid to approach.

Even the Nord soldiers, who once regarded death as their home, were not accustomed to being injured, almost equal to no treatment conditions, and simply did not have enough ability to cope with the backward tilt of battle damage, so they could only passively watch them suffer and die alive. The wars they face now are really different from the wars they faced before,...,

"My lord, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, if you don't take the opportunity to evacuate now, everyone will die here!" Some Nord officers gathered around Crimson Cord,

"What? are you scared?" Crimson Suo's face was gloomy as if it was about to drip water, the fierce attack of the Falcon army was completely overwhelming, not only did most of the Nord soldiers think that as long as the other party is willing, today, the Falcon army will be able to cross the walls of Geralens, even the Nord officers who are not in the middle and upper ranks also sadly agree with this point of view,

But if the Lord does not evacuate, no one dares to withdraw in advance, otherwise even if he can return alive, he will be executed!

"You have disappointed me so much, the Nord soldiers who once took glory in not fearing death have now learned to be afraid of death!" his gloomy gaze swept over the Nord officers in front of him, and those who were seen by his gaze bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at them

"Is it your duty to let everyone die here for nothing?"

A burly middle-aged general walked in from the main gate with the help of several guards, his face was completely bloody, as if he had just been pulled out of the corpse, from the moment the middle-aged general entered the door, everyone's eyes turned to him, and the officers invariably caused a commotion,

"Captain Mandy!"

The officers stood up in unison, saluted the general, and took the initiative to make a passage for him.

He is the only one of these officers who can be equal to the Crimson Cord military rank, he is the commander of the local Second Army Mandy who has just lost most of his troops in the southern wall defense line, the deputy commander of the Geralens defense line, the 40,000 Nord troops gathered in Gellalens this time, 25,000 people belong to the local Second Army, and most of the people who are making trouble here now are also officers of the local Second Army

"Lord Mandy, I'm sorry for the loss of the South Wall defense line!" Feeling the other party's unkind gaze, Crimson Suo also saluted politely, and said with a stern expression, "This loss is indeed an extremely heavy blow to the local Second Army, but I can guarantee that as long as we can repel the Falcon Army in one fell swoop in this battle, the Second Army will definitely shock the continent! Only those dead soldiers can be glorious!"

"Megatron Continent, is General Crimson entertaining us?" Mandy's fiery gaze stared at Crimson Suo, and suddenly stretched out his finger, pointing at all the officers in front of him, and said loudly in a sad and angry tone

"Lord Crimson, please take a closer look, what is standing in front of you is not a well-equipped first-class legion, nor the elite of the kingdom who has been in battle for a long time, nor is it the elite Praetorian guards of General Crimson in Kyoto, they are just some dispensable local troops who can't even eat enough when they are not fighting, and they are used as cannon fodder when they are fighting,

But we are also warriors, and we still have the blood of the Nords in our blood, so even in the face of the first general on the continent and the Falcon army that has never been defeated, we still decided to move this way without hesitation as soon as we received the order, even though we knew that we might never come back, but we still came! Because we knew that behind Geralens was the Kyoto of the kingdom, and we had become the last barrier of the kingdom."

Mandy's bloodshot eyes were full of tears, and her voice stopped, before she said, "But everyone has seen today's incident, we are not at the same level as the Falcon Army, and the joke that defeating the Falcon Army can shock the continent is not funny at all! 20,000 people! The entire 20,000 young people of Nord are gone, they are fighting with the belief that they will die, but they are not running! They are fighting, even if they die, they are not evacuated from the south wall."

Do you know where this blood came from on me? This is the blood of those 20,000 soldiers, do you know how I feel when I watch them buried in the ground one by one?...,

I personally moved a hundred and ten corpses, and I couldn't make out their names, but could I feel their anger and hear the whirring wind outside? It was the angry indictment of the souls of 20,000 soldiers in my ears, and it was because of your miscalculations and commands that they died so miserably!"

"It is inevitable that there will be casualties in the war, and Lord Mandy depreciates himself so much, which is not good for our military morale, but looking at Lord Mandy's excitement, I will not pursue it, but I don't want to, and I heard other people say such things!"

Crimson Suo looked at Mandy with a stern face, and then swept over the red-eyed officers behind him, he was a man of the same word, and he was also famous in Nord Kyoto, but he forgot that this was not Nord Kyoto, and he was not in the Nord Praetorian Guard, here, he seemed so alone, and his lonely figure was like a shadow blown by the wind on the wall

General Mandy turned his head with a ruddy face, and asked reluctantly, "The general hasn't answered me yet, is it also our duty as General Nord to let everyone wait here to die and become cannon fodder under the scorched earth tactical attack of the Falcon Army?"

"Mandy! Watch your words! You're shaking the morale of the army! It's our duty to stick to it, as soldiers, even if we all die here, we must defend Gerlarens!" Crimson Scarlet slammed his fist on the table angrily, omitting even the most basic honorifics for Mandy by his first name, for a high-ranking nobleman who had strict requirements for himself, such a situation was simply unthinkable,

"Yes, it turns out that Lord Crimson's insistence tactic is to let everyone die here!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Mandy's mouth, he already knew that even if he came forward, the cold Crimson cord would never be shaken, so he had already prepared, he waved his hand and ordered loudly outside the door, "If Lord Crimson is still so stubborn, his subordinates will only be offended!

"Bang Bang" more than a dozen heavily armed officers suddenly rushed in from the front of the hall, wearing a full suit of heavy armor and thick shields in their hands.

"Mandy, do you want to rebel!" Crimson asked loudly, pulling out his sword from his waist with a bang to protect his body, and the officers around him retreated, most of them had blank faces, they were persecuting Crimson Cord, but no one was bold enough to rebel to kidnap Crimson Cord,

"Rebellion? No, I'm carrying out the orders of the Wang's ** Ministry of Affairs!" Mandy looked at Crimson Suo with a cold face, and slowly took out an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs from his arms, and threw it on Crimson Suo's table with a "snap" If you don't believe it, take a look, don't think that the Ministry of Military Affairs will trust you so much, it is true that the Scarlet family is a century-old famous family, and it is not wrong that it is the family that His Majesty relies on the most, but the Ministry of Military Affairs has received information, your second brother, General Crimson Erdo, has surrendered to the Falcon Dynasty, and your third sister, the commander of the Crimson Rui Legion, is now also stranded in the three northern counties and has not returned, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has sufficient evidence to prove that the Scarlet Rui Legion Commander once had contact with the high-level of the Falcon Dynasty."

Mandy sneered, and said with a mocking face, "The Scarlet family of three generals has betrayed the second, how can Your Majesty still trust the Crimson family so much, and hand over such an important city of Gerlarence to you, just hoping to test you, I didn't expect you to be so uncomplacent, and in just half a day, you have exposed your sinister intention to bury all 40,000 troops! If you don't stop you as a traitor at this time, it will really be a shame to trust Your Majesty."

"Nonsense, you're slandering!"...,

Crimson Suo's face turned pale, his eyes trembled and looked at the order book on the table, he stretched out his hand several times, but he didn't pick it up, like an invisible flame roasting, and there were bursts of stinging pain from his heart, the glory of the Crimson family for a hundred years, the incomparable three generals of a sect, what a glory it was in the entire Nord Kingdom!

Let the Crimson family become the first door of Nord, is the belief that Crimson Suo insists on as the eldest son in the family, if it is really as Mandy said, his second brother has really rebelled, and the third sister Crimson Rui, who has always been stubborn, has not returned to Nord for half a year for unknown reasons, and it is really difficult not to make him feel the urgency of depression,

"I'm sorry, Lord Crimson!" Mandy said politely, but his hand slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and there was no smile on his face. Looking at the officers gathered around the crimson rope, he shouted hoarsely, "Why are you all doing it, and you don't want to take down this traitor! Do you really want this traitor to continue to command you, and then all die here?"

Crimson raised her head, her eyes swept over the officers who were still hesitating, and two words popped out of her teeth in a cold tone: "If you really want to believe Mandy's nonsense, then come on, I won't blame you, but I still say the same thing, only by holding on to Gerlarence can we have hope, otherwise, we are sinners of the kingdom!"

"My lord, you have been a country all your life, and we all respect you! But if you don't change your mind, then ...... We have to offend!" some of the Nord officers bowed their heads with ugly faces, but they drew their swords from their waists and looked at each other silently, their eyes slashing through the air like blades, and no one spoke. Everyone knows that at this point, it is impossible to continue to pretend to be polite.

Knowing that there was no room for things to be looped, Crimson Suo raised the sword in his hand with a solemn expression, and said, "You are not my vassals of the Crimson family, nor are you my subordinates, and there is no need to mention these two words again, I have finished saying what I should say." I hope you will do the rest!"

"Come, take it!" Mandy shouted with a hideous face, and quickly jumped back a few steps, trying to hide out of the range of Crimson Cord's longsword,

"Do you want to go, it's too late!" Crimson Suo shouted, the long sword in his hand turned into countless lights and shadows and suddenly stabbed out, although Mandy had already prepared, but still felt the air in front of him suffocated, a dignified momentum like a substance rushed towards him, and the crimson rope who pulled out the long sword pounced like a fierce beast,

"Bang bang" The two Nord officers who were stuck in the middle flew backwards covered in blood,

"Stop him!" Mandy shouted in a panic, he didn't expect Crimson Suo to be so terrifying, although he was only a local legion commander, but he also knew that the Crimson family was one of the most powerful generals in the traditional samurai, the Crimson Erdo and Crimson Rui just mentioned were both extremely powerful generals, Crimson Suo, as the eldest son of the Crimson family, was also an extremely brave general, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the head of the Kyoto City Guard, but it was still misestimated, the two officers who flew out just now were both wearing heavy armor, and their whole bodies added up to more than 200 catties

"Bump" another officer flew out upside down, and then Mandy felt that his eyes were completely rainstorm-like sword shadows, he tried his best to hold his body, he was short of breath and blocked in a panic, and he kept retreating, retreating, retreating again under the pressure of the force,

Not only him, but several other officers who came to the rescue were also retreating, and the terrifying tiger-like coercion on Crimson Suo's body made them involuntarily stagger backwards.

Legend has it that the first knight under the founding monarch of the Nord, Crimson Ansidian, was a fierce general who could defeat a hundred people, and Diman used to only think that was a legend. But now, he felt that Crimson Suo was not much different from the founder of the Scarlet family back then. ...,

"Kill him......" Mandy's voice trembled as he gestured, and several officers raised their bows and arrows, pointing at the crimson cord in the distance

"Mandy, you sinner!"

The snow-bright saber illuminates people's eyes, and the monstrous murderous aura is coming, and the crimson figure is like a god descending from the heavens, forcibly breaking through the obstacles of the officers, and the long sword is chasing after Mandy, he knows that as long as he can die with Mandy, these officers have only one way to defend Gerlarence,

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Don't!"

Two calls rang out at the same time, and in the sharp howl of the breaking wind, the figure flickered, and the dull echo of the arrow piercing the flesh gurgled and sizzled. Just as Crimson Cord's sword was about to plunge into Mandy's throat, several clusters of arrows struck him in the back. He snorted, his figure slowed down suddenly, he let out a heavy breath, looked down, and was surprised to see the rapidly expanding red on his chest. At this time, the hot pain spread from the wound to the brain.

"Are you going to die?"

Crimson frowned calmly and looked at the wound as if she were looking at something that had nothing to do with her. He stiffened up and picked up the sword on the ground.

At this moment, Mandy's trembling command was heard again, "Fire! Shoot him!"

The rain of arrows poured down on the man again, powerful bolts piercing through his warm body and slamming into the wall behind him with a burst of blood. Blood erupted in a canopy. Crimson Suo's somewhat emaciated figure shook a few times, but finally staggered to its feet

Watching the bright red blood splash on the ground drop by drop, the power disappeared from the body little by little, and the arms that were once full of strength were now unable to even hold the sword in their hands

"I'm so tired!" Crimson raised her head, trying to open her eyelids, and took one last look at the ground in front of her.
