Latest website: Although the army of Frost Roses has a large number of people,
because of the supply, preparation, and road reasons, not all of them are on
the front line, but they are moving forward in batches and directions.
Among them, the main forward force is naturally on the side of New Wilga. The
200,000 army and the Golem Legion, under the leadership of Jenkins, an
experienced veteran, passed through the dense jungle of Huangnan County and
marched towards Hopelander.
Another team of 50,000 people accompanied the ship to the north and headed
north again along the Heisong River. Most of the combat forces in this unit
are infantry adapted to mountain combat, and the golem is also a small and
flexible type.
The last one is based on newly-built iron-clad ships and a sea fleet with a
few airships. Among them, there are more than 30,000 navies, a total of more
than 60 ironclad ships, and more than 20 airships. There are many high-level
mages (sequence 5-6) on it, and the elites gather to intercept possible
reinforcements in the southern islands.
Compared to the fragile New Verga, Frost Rose is actually more worried about
the Hinayue Council of the Southern Islands. The source of the two mages came
from the same line, and they knew each other's strength very well, so
naturally they did not dare to underestimate them.
Huangnan County, former military camp.
The area near the jungle was cleared out of a black and gray isolation zone,
and then the soldiers cut down the trees to make a simple wooden fence to
surround the camp. As night fell, hundreds of large and small bonfires also
rose in the camp. The soldiers ate around the bonfire and sat down to rest by
the way to relieve the fatigue of the day.
It is now early autumn, and the weather is no longer so hot. Most of these
soldiers are wearing black and cyan uniforms with a layer of steel armor.
After a long journey, due to fatigue and fatigue, many people also untied
their armor and put it aside, blowing the evening breeze, and enjoying the
rare relaxation.
As the night got deeper, sleeping snoring began to sound from large and small
tents, and the camp became quiet.
In the large tent in the center, Jenkins was still looking at the map under
the lights. It marked the terrain around Hopland, and there were some chess
pieces next to it.
The dim candlelight dragged the shadows of the cups, pens, paper rolls, and
other debris on the low table, occasionally swaying with the lights.
The curtain of the tent suddenly opened, letting in the cold air outside, and
a female knight who took off her helmet walked in.
Jenkins raised his head and took a look, and then continued to focus on the
map in front of him, counting and drawing occasionally on the paper with a pen
in his hand.
"Are you still asleep, Ada, you will be on your way tomorrow. Now it's no
better than in the country. Now in wartime, military law is the most important
thing, and I can't favor you."
"Well, I'll go to bed later, this will see you."
"Is there anything good to see? Are you afraid that this old man like me will
have an accident? Not only are there guards around, but also the guards of the
group of wizards. If other people are close, you can find out here."
The female knight in her 20s shook her head and said nothing. Instead, she
found a cushion and sat at the low table.
"The first time I went to the expedition, it was still a little fresh and a
little nervous." She looked at the map and said.
"What are you worried about, my daughter, you are not usually such a
sentimental person." Jenkins put down the pen, and he will be tired at this
time and stop thinking.
"I don't know if I can succeed in the face of the enemy. The people on the
opposite side are actually the same as me, raised by their parents. We don't
have any deep hatred for each other." Ada's head was leaning against the old
father's knee. on.
"Hey, it's a good thing that you have such a kind heart, and it's probably
inherited your mother's character." Jenkins touched his daughter's crimson
hair.
"But it won't work to be too entangled with these."
"Don't put yourself too high. It is impossible for us to conform to everyone's
wishes and satisfy everyone. That is impossible."
"So, for our own benefit, sometimes we have to destroy the interests or lives
of others."
"Like a wolf eating a sheep, there is no good and no evil, it's just a part of
life."
"Sympathy can be shown in one's own person, that would be a virtue. But if you
are kind to the enemy, it is a kind of stupidity." Jenkins said carefully for
his own daughter.
"I understand these principles, but I still can't do it completely..."
Ada closed her eyes, her beautiful face reflected a faint light under the
lights, and the young knight looked very beautiful when she took off her
helmet.
"Then get used to it slowly, there are many things, there will always be the
first time."
Jenkins sighed. He has been in the army for many years and has also seen
veterans who have not died on the battlefield but are uneasy after being
discharged. Not everyone is so cold-blooded, and some people hate fighting.
It's just that the nature of this world won't change because of this
unbearable heart.
No matter how kind, when facing the enemy's blade and the threat of death, he
will still take up weapons to fight, because he understands that if he doesn't
kill the opponent, the opponent will take his own life.
That's it.
Many ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield without considering too much
family and country honors. Perhaps more is just life. They want money to
support their families and want to change their situation.
But once on the battlefield, there is no room for retreat. Different from the
usual stable order, killings in wars will not be noticed. It was only a few
months before I saw a death row prisoner being executed, and the battlefield
was everywhere, so I gradually became numb.
Jenkins recalled what he had experienced in his military career over the
years, and sometimes reflected on whether he was just as a soldier. But the
final results and facts told him that his meaning as a soldier was not just,
and he cared more about loyalty. This was his answer.
And just as the father and daughter were sitting and talking by the
candlelight, a rushing whistle suddenly erupted from outside, and then there
was noise and shouting outside the camp. For a while, the sound of running
each step and the sound of armor colliding came over. .
Jenkins stood up suddenly, picked up the sword beside him and prepared to go
out to take a look, but Ada rushed out of the tent at a faster speed. This
female knight is a rare genius in the army, even among the younger generation.
Father's reputation is still high.
"Enemy attack!" Sharp shouts sounded everywhere, and many people ran to the
place of the accident with torches and weapons.
"It's south!" shouted a soldier standing on the lookout.
"A lot of people, are they barbarians?"
As the called out soldiers approached, they could see the faces fighting with
them.
Under the bright yellow flames, these enemies were holding shields and
wielding long axes, and their faces were painted with white and red paint,
making them look quite hideous.
They screamed and rushed into the crowd, slashing regardless of their lives, a
red mark flashed on the long axe, and they swung down at the weak joints of
the enemy, bringing up a piece of blood and stumps.
These warriors with paint on their faces only have a little armor on the key
chest and shoulders, and the other parts are wrapped in single clothes.
Although the defense is low, it also allows them to quickly rush into the
enemy camp, causing riots everywhere, and slashing soldiers who have not
reacted.
But soon the guards from Hanshuang United rushed over. After a brief period of
confusion, they formed a formation, unified with their sickle hooks and
spears, piercing these wild soldiers who tried to get closer.
When Ada arrived with a team of guards in full armor and dark blue cloaks, the
battle situation here was slowly brought under control.
She also put the sword on her side for the time being, and asked the officer
beside her.
"Can you see where they came from?"
"Back to Knight Commander Ada, these people may be the barbarian warriors in
the north~www.mtlnovel.com~ but they were hired by the New Verga Alliance.
Since the barbarians were conquered by the west wind several decades ago,
their tribesmen have been living in different places. Fang, it is estimated
that this branch was raised by a large chamber of commerce as a guard and
deadman."
"How are they fighting?"
"Although they don't have much armor and their individual combat power is
good, it is a pity that they have no discipline. They have no advantage after
facing the assembled army."
Following the officer's account, a group of soldiers had already surrounded
the 800-person night raid team and killed them in an orderly manner.
"Kill!" Many soldiers suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and together
with their teammates, pierced the spears in their palms, and stabbed each
enemy to the ground.
Most of them are recruits. Although they have received complete training, it
is the first time to kill people. Fortunately, there are many companions and
comrades in the surroundings, but they have gradually settled down.
With this strange night attack, nearly 100,000 people in the entire camp woke
up. Later, scouts were sent to investigate the surrounding area. After
confirming that it was safe, everyone slowly fell asleep, but at this time,
the sky was approaching.
