Not to mention the middle and lower-level officers, there was one division commander and as many as 13 brigade commanders killed in the battle, which shows the cruelty of this war.

Even in the great battle thirteen years ago, the heaviest loss was the loss of a brigade commander.

In this process, just like Philip outside the Red Moon Pass, while the older generation has passed away, many young heroes have also emerged.

If Philip could see the names, there were a lot of familiar faces.

Elton, Leo, and Paul in Villadi City, Wesley, Boris, Holps, Chuck and many more in Gokan City.

Yes, Chuck is back, at the beginning of this war, he ran back from the imperial capital privately, and has been fighting on the city wall for half a month as a squadron leader of the Shadow Hunter Division, and more than 200 Ah Xun at all levels died in his hands, twenty-three commanders, and thousands of other steppe warriors below the commander of a thousand commanders.

Even if he was found fainting on the city wall, he still held the longbow tightly in his hand, and the fingers that tied the string were bloody, and there was no good skin.

In a local battle, Boris, the new wing captain of the Giant Bear Division, and Captain Horps used only 400 people to resist the crazy attack of the Ah Xun regiment for two hours, not only teamed up to kill three fourth-level Ah Xun, but also used their impregnable tenacity to buy enough time for the counterattack.

Wesley of the Giant Bear Division has a strong sense of the overall situation, he used his identity to carry out a partial tandem, and formed a whole with the defense area he was responsible for and several other wings, and killed more than 100,000 grassland people in seven days, until he was surrounded by dozens of elite Ah Xun regiments and intended to be beheaded, and after killing nine of them, he was desperately saved by the guards.

At this time, he had more than ten sores on his body, the most serious of which was a bloody wound more than half a foot long in his lower back, which almost cut off his spine and was rushed to the rear for treatment.

But three days later, he ran back to the defensive line, looking at less than half of his comrades left, and the iron man, who never showed his emotions, cried on the spot.

These are all surviving, and those that remain on the soul monument forever, belong to the imprint of young people, and there are many, many more.

War and parting make every young person grow and transform at a rapid pace.

The Glory Radiance Grand Square outside the temple of Gaokan City is the place where the largest number of people gather these days except for the military headquarters, just because there is a huge soul monument here.

Countless mothers, wives, and children come here every day, silently watching the soul monument add a lot of soul marks every day, placing a white orchid representing peace on the base, and praying that there will not be one of their relatives on it.

Occasionally, family members who have received death notices will come here, and everyone will make way for her, and let the priest who is here find that special mark for her.

There are those who cry, but very few.

The inhabitants of Gokan seem to have learned how to deal with this grief, and they will secretly wipe away their tears, return to their homes or work, and continue to contribute to the defense of the front line.

In addition to the usual prayers and healing, the significance of the temple is particularly important at this time.

Every child born and baptized in the city of Gokan, as long as it is in the area controlled by the temple, will return here after death, becoming a small mark on the soul tablet, like a soul file.

Although Philip was born in the imperial capital of Detalena, he changed his file here after settling in the city of Gokan, and he felt that he would be a Gokan for the rest of his life.

For this reason, he insisted on using his own private money for the 200 gold cards spent on modifying the file at that time, and was inexplicably proud of it for a while.

Kant Redmayne, 55 years old, took 35 years to climb to the position of commander of the second-line division.

Unfortunately, the position is not hereditary, but hired, meaning that he can only stay in this position for a maximum of five years, and now there is less than a year left before his term expires.

thought that this life had passed like this, and even he had begun to prepare to return to his hometown to become a security chief after leaving office, but fate was so wonderful, at the last moment, he received the task of rushing to the southeast defense line.

Three days earlier he had followed his division to Brando, and had been ordered to obtain his own defensive area yesterday, a 300-meter-long wall.

He was joined by Davy Blanchett, the original commander of the wall and one of the leaders of the Silver Serpent Division.

Half of his men were killed in battle, and half of the remaining half were also treated in the rear, and David insisted on dragging his injured leg to stand on the last shift, guiding Kant to take over the defense line smoothly.

At this moment, it is already dark, and according to the practice of the steppe people, in another quarter of an hour, the next wave of attacks will be ushered in, and the time is very rushed.

By the light of the fire, David pointed to the black and red marks in the corner of the wall, and said in a deep voice: "The Prairie people have attacked three times, and we have repelled three times, and this is where my adjutant Roy died.

He has been with me since I left my hometown, and before I know it, it has been more than twenty years.

But it wasn't until after he died that I learned that his middle name was the same as mine, Modo.

This liar has deceived me for more than 20 years. ”

As he spoke, tears welled up in David's eyes, and Kant patted his arm for comfort.

Back in the arrow tower, Kant looked out the window at the steppe people who had begun to assemble in the distance, poured a cup of coffee and handed it over.

"Looks like everyone has their own secrets, doesn't it?"

David took the coffee cup with a pitted surface and took a big sip, not knowing if he was hiding his gaffe.

The piping hot coffee made his somewhat stiff hands feel better.

"Yes, we can't get to know everyone, even our friends.

Still, when this damn ... Whoa!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp blade pierced his throat, completely interrupting his later words.

The coffee cup made of metal was cushioned by Kant's foot, and it didn't make much noise when it fell to the ground, only the steaming heat of the hot coffee spilled on the ground.

Kant drew his dagger, listened to the sound of blood splattering, and gently lowered David's body to the ground.

At this moment, two warriors in armor stepped out of the darkness and stood solemnly in front of Kant.

"We waited too long for this day to follow the plan. ”

The two warriors nodded, pulled David's body up and dragged it to the back, then locked the door to the tower from the outside.

The steppe people in the distance had begun to march here, gradually turning their trots into charges, and the whining trumpets and earth-shattering shouts filled the world again.

A few minutes later, two wagons carrying supplies were driven to the door of the row of small warehouses under the city walls.

The samurai guarding the door opened the door with a glance, let the two samurai carry the two dozen boxes to the corner, and then polished the fire twist.

In the bright light of the fire, you can see the samurai's pure face belonging to the Ward clan.

After a few more minutes, the steppe people were already approaching the city wall, and the warriors on the city wall could even see the hideous faces of the steppe people on the other side through the broken and black battlements.

The soldiers were waiting for the Wing Commander's orders, but the Wing Commander could not find his team leader, and even his lieutenant had disappeared.

This situation is very rare, although the force is not high, but his own commander has always been strict with himself, and the military discipline is strict.

Before the wing commander of the first wing could give the order instead, he felt a violent shock under his feet, and his whole body was lifted into the air.

In the moment before he lost consciousness, a deafening loud bang was heard, and a section of the city wall more than 20 meters wide 100 meters away was uprooted from below.

The shattered masonry and the mangled corpses of the warriors flew hundreds of meters into the air, and the smoke, ashes, and thick blood mist obscured everyone's vision.

The steppe people were frenzied by the surprise of the surprise, screaming and pouring in like locusts through the breach, slaughtering the unsuspecting inner city, and the warriors behind the walls were either buried under the broken walls, or clutched by severed hands and legs, or bleeding ears, and fell to the ground wailing, reduced to slaughtered lambs.

The bodies of Kant's team leader and his lieutenant were never found while the casualties were counted after the war, and combined with the testimonies of survivors and the violent explosion, they were openly wanted by the Imperial Ministry of Security across the continent.

It is a pity that from this day on, these two people disappeared as if out of thin air and never appeared in front of anyone or intelligence agencies again.

On the evening of November 38, 1006, the outer defense line of Brando, on the southeastern border of the Wardsman Empire, was breached by a shocking explosion, and the whole country was shocked.

The Western Grassland Daxun Ranri Dolan reacted very quickly, and immediately sent ten Axun regiments to attack the gap, and the unprepared Silver Snake Legion hastily organized a counterattack that was defeated, and the first batch of a million steppe people from the collapse to the gap of 100 meters surging in, and then recoiled the defense line from the rear.

At night of the same day, the entire outer defense line collapsed, and the Daybreak Division under the Silver Snake Legion was annihilated after fighting to the last soldier, and after the White Fox Division fought to the death, covering the Silver Snake Legion, less than 20,000 remnants of the Silver Snake Legion were defeated and retreated into Brando, and the division commander died heroically, and the casualties of the following officers and soldiers reached ninety.

Unfortunately, the steppe people chased under the city gate, and with 20,000 elite Ah Xun as the vanguard, the gate of Brando City that had just been closed was reopened an hour later, and the steppe people attacked the city.

Fierce street fighting continued throughout the morning, and although the Silver Serpent Legion fought to the death, they lost most of the city due to their huge numerical inferiority, and finally had to retreat to three castles.

Strangely, the steppe people did not chase and fight, but besieged several castles with their troops, but instead accelerated the mobilization of more troops from the rear, and even from the direction of Vila Di City, intending to enter the land in the southeast of the empire from the west gate.

What's even more strange is that the Western Prairie Ranri Dolan forbade his men to attack the Temple of Brando, but confronted the 500 Temple Knights who were stationed here, and the hundreds of thousands of civilians and wounded soldiers who were hiding inside survived.
