Chapter 246
After saying that, Helen slowly reached out and tried to caress Morek's face, but she couldn't do it anymore. Helen's body slowly softened, her eyes closed, and the breath of life left her body.
Lake looked at Helen in front of him in a daze, and tears of affection and sadness fell, dripping on the soil, endless sadness and pain.
Helen, the woman he loved all his life, could only die in his arms, this pain, the wounded Lake was so deep, so painful.
At this time, Renault slowly walked to Lake's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: Let's go! The enemy is about to chase him! Lake slowly picked up Helen's corpse with great difficulty, and said softly to Helen: No matter what happened to you in the past, your death can already cancel everything out! Renault said to Lake: Lake, do you believe her words? Lake wiped away his tears, his expression became firm, and said: I believe in her, no matter what, she proved her words with death! Renaud has actually believed Helen's words, and over the years, he has read countless people, and one eye can best reflect his heart, lies, sincerity, and love can be revealed from a pair of eyes.
Renault nodded to Lake, and then announced loudly: "All the army advances, march towards the road to the right!" All the soldiers immediately lined up neatly and marched towards the road to the right, everyone knows that this is a race of life and death, and if it is overtaken by Apero's army, then on the open plain, an army of less than 100,000 will not be able to defeat an army of four or five hundred thousand.
General Reynolds sent scouts along the way to reconnoiter the situation ahead, and on the other hand, he sent a small team, and laid many traps along the way to stop the footsteps of the Arpelo army.
At this time, the news that the Apero Legion had broken through the Lieshan Pass had reached the City of Tianjing, and it was known that most of the Agni Legion had been killed or wounded.
Da Yin, who had just ascended to the throne of the Dajie Empire, was already in a panic at this time, and he didn't expect that when he became the emperor of the Dajie Empire, the army of Apelo had already broken through the Lieshan Pass.
As soon as the Lieshan Pass is broken, then the entire Dajie Empire will fall into a bitter battle, there is no natural danger to rely on, if there is a natural danger, then there is only the city of Zhigong, but the army of Emperor Apelo can completely besiege the city of Zhigong without attacking, bypassing the city of Zhigong and taking the city of Tianjing.
With a flustered and anxious look on his face, Da Yin walked around the palace and muttered to himself: What can I do? What can I do about this? How can the Lieshan Pass be breached? Then he shouted angrily: Is the right prime minister here, is he here at all? The guards below hurriedly replied: Tell the emperor, the prime minister has not yet come! Da Yin scolded angrily: What is this guy doing, at a critical moment, I don't know where he died! The tone has become extremely irritable and impatient.
Then he said loudly to the guards: Send someone to urge you again immediately and find the prime minister!
The guards below immediately replied in fear: Yes, Emperor! After speaking, he was about to go out and order someone to call someone.
At this time, I only heard a sound from outside the palace hall, and the right prime minister Jem asked to see him! As soon as he heard the voice of the guards outside, Dayin was immediately overjoyed and said loudly: Let the right prime minister come in!
The right prime minister Jem came to the front of Dayin, and Shi Li said: "Weichen knocks on my king!" Dayin hurriedly said: Hurry up and excuse me, the lonely king is really too anxious to wait, and now something big has happened, do you know the right prime minister? The gloomy face of the right prime minister Jem has no expression at all, and he said in a deep voice: I already know! Isn't it just that the Apelo soldiers have broken through the Lieshan Pass? What is there to worry about! Dayin's face changed, he pointed at the right prime minister Jem, and said angrily: What is there to worry about? Do you know that if this continues, our entire Dajie Empire will be annexed by the Apelo Empire! The right prime minister, Jem, smiled gloomily and said disdainfully: The emperor has nothing to worry about, it's just to break through the Burning Mountain Pass, don't we still have the Tempest Legion, the Aoki Legion, and the Blackwater Legion, even if the Agni Legion is killed or wounded, are we still afraid of those Apelo soldiers? Dayin was suddenly speechless and said angrily: Jem, what do you mean by this, you dare to speak to the Lone King like this! The right prime minister Jem laughed wildly and said: "What is the matter with talking to you like this, I didn't help you sit on the throne, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be a waste! After hearing such arrogant and disobedient words of the right prime minister Jem, Dayin was suddenly speechless in anger, and his face was full of anger, and he scolded loudly: You old horseman, you dare to say something rebellious, I will kill you! After finishing speaking, he immediately pulled out his sword and slashed at the right prime minister Jem.
A sharp and gloomy color flashed in the eyes of the right prime minister, Jem, his body moved, and he shook Dayin's sword like lightning, pinched Dayin's throat with one hand, and lifted him up.
Dayin was pinched by the throat of the right prime minister Jem, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, his face turned purple, and he tried hard to pull away from the right prime minister Jem's hand with both hands, but it had no effect at all, and it didn't help at all.
The right prime minister Jem waved with one hand, and Dayin was suddenly thrown out and fell to the ground hard, fortunately, Dayin's strength was not weak, so he immediately jumped up and said loudly and angrily: You want to rebel, come here! Kill the right prime minister for me! As soon as the words fell, many palace guards rushed in from outside the main hall, and when they saw that the guards were all coming in, Dayin said loudly and angrily: Kill this rebel for me! But what is strange is that those palace guards didn't listen to Da Yin's words at all, and didn't move, Da Yin saw this situation, and said in shock: What are you doing here, what are you doing standing still, kill the right prime minister for me, do it quickly! The right prime minister, Jem, said gloomily beside him: "Stupid fellow, do you think you really have the ability to be the king of God, as long as I am happy, I can let you become the emperor at any time, as long as you are obedient and obedient, maybe I will let you be the emperor for a few more years, otherwise, I will immediately let you go to see your father and your brother! After finishing speaking, he ordered loudly: Give me a good look at our emperor, don't be lazy, you know? All the palace guards immediately responded in unison: Yes! Seeing such a situation, Dayin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't imagine that he had worked hard to get this throne, but he had no rights at all, he was just a puppet, and he couldn't help but stand there, unable to say a word at all.
I'm afraid I don't even have any freedom at all, I was under house arrest in this palace, and I really did something, giving the entire empire to outsiders, and I am afraid that I will become a sinner in the Dajie Empire.
Seeing the earthy face of Da Yin, the right prime minister Jem laughed wildly, turned around and left the main hall of the palace, and the sound of smug and arrogant laughter echoed in the palace, which was so harsh that it almost made Da Yin collapse.
At this time, the Flame Legion, under the leadership of General Renault, marched rapidly towards Zhigong City, hoping to get rid of the Apelo Legion that was following closely and chasing after them.
The Abero Legion behind is chasing closer and closer, although the Fire Legion has laid a lot of traps and fog along the way to confuse the Abero Legion, but it still can't get rid of the chasing soldiers who are getting closer and closer, it seems that General Luo Xiu of the Abelo Legion is not a simple character.
Renault also knew in his heart that if he couldn't reach the city of Zhigong as soon as possible, then once those cavalry recovered and joined General Luo Xiu, then the entire Fire Legion would probably be in danger.
The entire Flame Legion is no match for the Apelo Million-Dollar Army, and once they are engaged in the open area, then under the onslaught of the Apelo Million-Dollar Army, the entire Flame Legion will be destroyed.
Four days later, the entire Fire Legion arrived at the City of Heavy Wood under the rapid march every day, Lake looked at the city in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, when he first came to this City of Heavy Wood that day, he had a completely different feeling, and when Captain Li Qing came, he was so high-spirited. And now it's like a lost dog, it's really embarrassing.
In the past few days, Lake has worked hard to detoxify the toxin, although he has not completely expelled the toxin from his body, but he has been able to move on his own, and if he is allowed to wield a sword and sword, he can't do it.
Lake sighed in his heart: It seems that only when the time is up, the toxicity will dissipate by itself, thinking of this, I can't help but sigh in my heart.
Halfway through, Reynolds buried Eliza and Helen in a secret place, and then moved the tomb back after defeating the Arpelo legion.
When Renaud and the soldiers of the Fire Legion came to the outside of the Heavy Wood City, they saw that the entire Heavy Wood City was silent, as if it was a dead city, and not even a single soldier defending the city was missing.
Renault and Reker couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what was going on, at this time, the scouts who went to investigate had already reconnoitred back from the heavy wood city, Renault saw it, and asked in a deep voice: How is the situation inside? The scout reported loudly: Report to the general, there is not a single soldier in the heavy wood city, only some people are in the city! Renault's eyes froze, and he ordered: The troops enter the city! After saying that, the entire Fire Legion entered the City of Heavy Wood, and there were still some sparse people walking on the streets, and the whole city looked very depressed, and only after inquiring did they know the reason for the incident.
It turned out that the soldiers and officers who had been stationed here heard that the Apelo army had broken through the Lieshan Pass and was heading here, and they were immediately frightened and immediately abandoned the city and fled, and those people in the city who could escape fled, leaving only some old and weak women and children still here.
After knowing this reason, Renault couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and he couldn't imagine that the soldiers of his country were so useless, and they had already abandoned their armor and fled in the desert before they could fight.
General Renault originally wanted to unite the soldiers here to fiercely block the murderous Apero soldiers in the city of heavy wood, but he didn't expect this to be the end.
General Renault ordered all the soldiers to take the lead in this heavy wooden city to rest for a while, General Renault pondered for a moment, calculated that the pursuers would be able to chase here in about half a day, and that they should not stay here for too long, so he rested for a while, and when the soldiers regained some strength, they continued on their way.
As long as you pass through the first line of passage, reach the city of Zhigong, and join the Blackwater Legion, you can fight with the Apelo soldiers.
After resting, General Renault and the other Legion of Fire continued their journey towards the city of Zhigong.
Six days later, General Renault and a group of legionnaires finally rushed to the first line of the passage not far away, looking at the first line of the passage in the dangerous place, Renault gave an order, ready to march towards the passage.
At this time, the scouts behind hurriedly reported that the pursuers in the rear were already ten miles away, and it would not take long to catch up with them.
Renault's face was straight, and he ordered loudly: All the soldiers obey the order, go forward at full speed! After speaking, all the soldiers marched towards the first line of passage, but the speed of the large army passing through this line of passage was slow, because only four people could pass side by side in the narrowest part of the passage.
On both sides were high and steep peaks, birds could not cross, the passage was overgrown with weeds, the sky became hazy, the wind whistled through the passage, rolling up the yellow sand, almost making people unable to open their eyes, the more they went inside, the more desolate they became, there was no grass, only the rocks lay there.
Seeing that the team was so slow, General Renault couldn't help but feel anxious, such a speed, he would definitely be caught up by the Apelo army.
At this time, General Reynolds seemed to feel the violent shaking of the ground, and knew that in a few moments, the Apelo soldiers would definitely reach the first line of passage, and at this time, it was really a great disaster.
Renault couldn't help but secretly make a decision in his heart, and shouted loudly: The first team and the second team will meet the enemy with me, and the others will quickly advance and pass through the first-line passage! With General Renault's order, about 1,000 people came out of the lineup, and at this time Lake came over and asked his father: Father, what are you going to do? General Renault looked at Lake with a smile and said: You first leave the first-line passage with the large army and hurry to the city of Zhigong! Lake asked: Father, what about you? Renault said in a deep voice: "For my father, I will stay here to stop Apello's army and delay time for you!" When Renault heard this, he was immediately shocked, and immediately said urgently: "Father, by all means!" Renault looked at Reker, smiled kindly, and said: "Child, you have grown up, and the responsibility of leading the Fire Legion will be handed over to you in the future!" What else did Lake want to say, but he was immediately stopped by Renault and said: "Child, now the situation is critical, if I don't delay the enemy's attack here, then they pass through the first-line passage, then in the open wilderness, we will not be able to resist the impact of a million cavalry, and at that time, our Fire Legion will probably be wiped out! After hearing his father's words, Riker knew that his father had decided to use his life to stop the pursuit of the Apelo Legion and buy time for their escape.
He also knew that once his father decided something, no one could stop it. Thinking of this, Lake couldn't control his tears anymore and burst out of his eyes.
General Renault patted his son on the shoulder and said, "A man who bleeds without tears, how can he easily shed tears, don't cheer up quickly!" Lake wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded heavily, and his eyes became firm.
General Renault looked at his son with appreciation, nodded, and said: This is the good boy of our Lei family, dying on the battlefield is the most glorious destination for a soldier, you should be happy for your father! Reno nodded, and said firmly: Father take care, I will definitely drive the enemy out of our motherland, and let them know that the hot-blooded men of our Dajie Empire are invincible! General Renault nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: Go! Lake rode away and led the other fire soldiers towards the first line of passage, Renault looked at Lake who was away and turned back from time to time, and his eyes were full of reluctance to father and son.
You must know that if you go here, I am afraid that you will never see your son again, in fact, although Renault's heart is sad, it is extremely firm, knowing that if you block the enemy for one more minute, the others will have a better chance to live.
General Renault looked at the dim sky and said in his heart: Eliza, you wait for me, I will be with you soon, I will not let you go alone, even in hell, I will accompany you! Then General Renault's face straightened, and he suddenly became high-spirited, and shouted loudly: Soldiers, today we are here to fight to the death with the Apelo army, are you afraid? A thousand soldiers shouted in unison: Fight to the death with the enemy, fight to the death! The meaning of that tragic and heroic blood pride is self-evident, and everyone knows in their hearts that this time, all the bones will be buried here, but for the sake of the country and their brothers, even if they are broken, they will not hesitate to do so.
General Renault looked at the hot-blooded men of the Fire Legion in front of him, and everyone's face showed not fear, but firmness and unyieldingness, and a determination and courage to die and never return.
General Renault shouted: Okay! Each and every one of you will be a hero of the empire, let us fight for the motherland, fight for the people we love, take up arms, and fight! After hearing General Renault's passionate words, every soldier felt that his blood was boiling, and a strong fighting spirit burned in their bodies, and they were reluctant to fight the enemy immediately.
General Renault shouted: "Array!" With General Renault's order, all the soldiers immediately quickly formed a formation and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
General Reynolds turned his head to look at the passage, and all the Agni soldiers had already passed through the first-line passage, slowly disappearing from view.
General Renault and 1,000 other soldiers were stationed in the most dangerous and narrowest part of the first-line passage, and only here was the most advantageous location within the first-line passage.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the ground, and the sound of millions of troops running, all the soldiers could clearly feel the shaking of the ground.
As the thunderous sound of the tremors grew heavier and louder, everyone knew that the Arpelo Legion was about to appear in front of them.
General Renault and all the soldiers stared coldly at the passage in front of them, only to see the galloping Apelo Legion slowly appear in the passage, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.
When the cavalry saw a group of soldiers displayed at the pass, they were immediately shocked, and immediately gave an order, and all the troops slowly slowed down and came to General Renault not far away.
When the cavalry who took the lead saw that General Renault only had about 1,000 people, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and it was undoubtedly seeking death to use a thousand people to block a million troops, and then he looked at it fixedly, and it turned out that it was General Renault who took the lead, and suddenly became a wreck, and then hurriedly ordered the soldiers to report to General Luo Xiu.
The two teams of men and horses were facing each other, no one made a sound, only the neighing of those war horses and the sound of the strong wind whistling, the battle flags of the two teams hunted in the wind, and only the eyes of the two teams looked at each other coldly.
At this time, the Apelo team slowly separated, and a passage appeared, in which several horses slowly walked out, and it was General Luo Xiu and the other two generals who sat on the horses, as well as the black crow Piaika of the crow mercenary group.
General Luo Xiu rode slowly to the front of the brigade, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: I didn't expect to see the general of the famous Fire Legion General Renault in the first-line passage! General Renault said coldly: Needless to say, if you want to pass through the first-line passage, you have to step on our corpse! General Luo Xiu laughed and said: Okay, it is indeed worthy of being the god of war of the Dajie Empire, and it is really arrogant! It is very admirable! General Renault looked coldly at General Luo Xiu in front of him, and said loudly: Why talk nonsense, if you want to fight, you will fight! There is no need to talk nonsense! General Luo Xiu's face straightened, and he said loudly: Okay, today I want to see what amazing ability Renault, who is known as the god of war, has! The archer among the soldiers under his command immediately stood up, holding a bow and arrow, and was about to shoot an arrow, but General Luo Xiu, who was on the side, stretched out his hand to stop him.
As soon as the archers saw General Luo Xiu's gesture, they immediately quickly withdrew their bows and arrows and retreated towards the rear of the ranks, while the cavalry rode out of the ranks slowly, spears in hand and ready for the first round of attacks.
General Luo Xiu's face turned cold, and he ordered loudly: Kill me!
With General Luo Xiu's order, those cavalrymen immediately wore heavy armor and held spears, and rushed towards General Renault's thousand-man phalanx with terrifying momentum.
But there is no trace of panic on the faces of the soldiers of the Fire Legion, you must know that the soldiers of the Fire Legion are the best soldiers among the elite soldiers, who have followed General Renault for many years and have experienced a hundred battles, so it can be said that all of them are strong generals with one block of ten.
The most important thing on the battlefield is not to panic, once panicked, it will immediately throw away a small life, I saw that all the fire soldiers looked stunned, and threw the war spear in their hands with all their might.
Suddenly, nearly a thousand spears roared through the air like a white rainbow through the sun, sliding in a wonderful arc, and shot at those cavalrymen, who were immediately unable to dodge, and were shot one after another, falling off their horses.
By the time they rushed in front of the Flame Soldiers, there were less than ten cavalrymen left, and the Flame Soldiers immediately drew their swords on their waists, and the sword flashed like lightning in the sky, and those cavalry were cut off from their horses one after another. All that was left was the neighing of the horses.
