Chapter 6 The Past That Belongs (3)
People in the northern defense line military towns that have been close to the Osasu barbarians for many years know the cruelty and ferociousness of the Osasu barbarians. Occasionally, when the military town is trapped, the young and strong soldiers in the city will be slaughtered, and children and women will be arbitrarily humiliated and taken back to the northern Osasu in order to defend their homeland, even if they die in battle, they will do their best to disturb them.
The troops that received the order began to fall into silence because these soldiers knew that the future was slim and unknown reinforcements might fall before they arrived, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would have the possibility of trying to save them to the death.
The more than 5,000 people stationed in Laidan Army Town were less than 3,000 when the city gate wall fell. In addition, part of the Knights who were sent out to seek help left, their only combat power was only more than 2,000. The Laidan Army Town, which had been loose for many years, was not very combat power. In order to protect the last chance, the young and strong people in the city were sent to jointly protect Laidan Army Town. They must wait for the reinforcements to arrive with street fighting, and everyone will live and die together.
The cruelty of street fighting is far from as simple as imagined. Facing the Osasu barbarians who rushed into the Laidan Army Town like a tide, in front of the familiar geographical location, the soldiers of the Laidan Army Town were stubbornly blocked by the fierce swell of the surging waves. People die at every moment, and the tragic situation burned every place guarded by the Laidan Army Town.
At this time, Xia Lan had already followed the people in the rear of Laidan Army Town with Aubrey and his daughter. Women and children were gathered here to avoid being affected by street fighting. Looking at the people who were crying around, she was originally transferred to the front-line street fighting, and was also exempted from being recruited because of Aubrey's relationship.
"Brother, we will be fine, right?" Rona said tremblingly in her mother's arms, looking at her brother holding a long sword beside her, protecting herself with big wet eyes.
Although he is still young, Rona knows that the situation she is facing is very dangerous. She is infected by the emotions around her and becomes uneasy and scared.
"No, my brother will protect Rona and mother!" Xia Lan said firmly at Rona.
In fact, Xia Lan felt her whole body trembling with fear, but he could not show such a show of trying to control himself. He didn't want Rona to be even more sad and sad because of his fear.
Looking at the burning Laidan Army Town in the distance, Xia Lan, whose eyelids were beating, knew that this time would be a disaster. She began to hesitate and curse God why he treated him like this. She obviously let herself die and reborn but faced death again. Is this a bad joke from God to him? That is really funny!
Xia Lan, who was a little nervous, kept looking around, as if she was facing great danger every moment, was muttering something in her mouth. Lona, who was watching in her mother's arms, became even more scared. The brother she liked looked abnormal now.
The fierce resistance shown by the soldiers of the Laidan Army Town was somewhat beyond the expectations of the commander of the Osasu Barbarian Army this time. Although this kind of thing often occurs when they attacked the Northern Defense Line Army Town of Adria, it is a bit strange that the Laidan soldiers who have been loose in combat have shown such abilities. However, the situation has been decided and these issues are not worthy of his concern!
The cruel and fierce street fighting lasted until the sun set. The morale of the Laidan soldiers who successfully resisted the other side was greatly boosted. However, after such fierce street fighting, their losses exceeded half. What they didn't know was that the reason why the commander of the Osasu barbarians ordered the troops to stop the attack was not because of the tenacious obstruction of the Laidan soldiers. The Osasu barbarians who had been rushing for a day were already very tired and needed to rest after capturing the Laidan army town. They had another important task to complete.
Tomorrow, the time for the complete fall of Laidan Military Town! Osasu barbarian commander Khurashan looked at the military map in front of him and sneered.
At night, the young soldiers from Laidan Army Town returned to the back and told their separation to their relatives. At this time, Aubrey's leather armor was dyed red with blood, and his hair and beard were messy and covered with filth. In front of Xia Lan and Rona, Aubrey was a little silent. He survived such a fierce street battle and knew what the ending would be tomorrow, and Laidan could not hold on.
But he could only think and not say these words. At this time, morale was boosting and comforting. If he dared to spread dangerous words, he would probably be executed by the military judge. After briefly expressing his feelings to Rona and his daughter, Aubr looked at Xia Lan on the side and signaled.
He came to a remote place with Oble. After watching around, Oble looked around and put his head close to Xia Lan's ear and whispered: "Child, I hope you can fulfill my wish before my death. Laidan may be over tomorrow. As a soldier, I died in the battle for the country, but I can't let go of Rona and her mother. Today, I killed an Osasu barbarian cavalry in the street fighting, and his horse was also carefully hidden in the warehouse of Jienong merchants. It is behind the merchant's house where you and Rona often go to buy things. At that time, I hope you can take Rona and his daughter to find it before Laidan falls and take them away. Even if the hope is slim, I will try it! Child, can I believe you?"
Xia Lan nodded unconsciously as he stared at Oble's sharp eyes. He had learned riding with Oble. Perhaps the chance of seizing a horse today made Oble think of this idea. In order to survive, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it is worth a try!
"I will! I will never repay your family's kindness to me in my life. As long as there is a possibility, I will take Rona and her daughter to break out!" Xia Lan took a deep breath and said seriously to Oble.
"Good boy!" Oble suddenly laughed and rubbed Xia Lan's hair with his hands, as if all his wishes had been fulfilled. There was no regret on him, only death was left.
The nobles' children and officials who had tried to escape before the war had already been captured by Nefal. Even if they were not captured, they might be in danger. Looking at the nobles' children who were tied up and still arrogant, they really did not dare to kill them.
"We once had a glimmer of hope to defend Laidan, but your cowardice is ashamed of the glory of your ancestors and choose to be a deserter! After delaying the important defensive fighter, I am ashamed of the entire Laidan people and the heavy responsibility that the king has given me here! But I have never been ashamed of my own responsibility. You timid and timid people still do not repent when they make major mistakes. Now, you do not deserve the right to die in battle and be captured. You will fulfill your last responsibility as Chiefs!"
Nefar held the sword in his hand, his eyes burning with anger in the cold, glanced at the bound noble children.
"In the battle tomorrow, I will sacrifice all of you to the flags! Your responsibility is to arouse the higher morale of the soldiers and fight!"
As soon as these words were said, the children of the tied nobles immediately made the children of the tied nobles furiously!
"You can't do this! My father is Jinhua Shijue!"
"My father will uproot your family when he finds it!"
"Think carefully about your behavior! What do you think you are a thing!"
The threatening words did not make Nefar shake at all. He waved his hand and asked his guards to take the clowns out to imprison them. As the commander of the legion, Nefar has his own ability. Laidan may not be able to defend tomorrow. The idea of trying to block the opponent's attack for a few days was ruthlessly torn apart by the powerful attack ability of the Osasu barbarians. When the Osasu barbarians rest tomorrow, can Laidan, who is defeated, still resist it?
After Ladan was finished, Nefar, who was familiar with the nature of the Osasu barbarians, knew that the entire military general was in ruthless massacre. Instead of keeping them and being killed by the Osasu barbarians, these noble children would rather use them to stimulate morale and kill as much as the Osasu barbarians could. The outside world who did not know the situation here would only think that they all died in battle.
Rubbing his cheeks, Nefal lamented that he was really unwilling to end his life like this.
The shouts of killing sounded in Laidan Army Town since dawn. Xia Lan was suddenly awakened while sleeping in the rear. When she held the sword tightly and looked around, most of the people also woke up like him. Negative and pessimistic emotions began to spread throughout the rear. Perhaps they also discovered some unknown news from their return relatives.
The remaining sergeants of Laidan and the young and strong who assisted in defense faced the more intense attacks of the Osasu barbarians than yesterday. In addition, the severe reduction of sergeants of Laidan, street fighting became more difficult, and the number of deaths continued to increase. Many young and strong men began to flee in panic in the face of the strong smell of death.
When Nefar heard whether the rewards from his subordinates needed to be handled by the dispatched army judges, he shook his hand. The young and strong men were not soldiers, so it was already amazing to be able to do this. The only thing he sighed was that even if he ran away, they really thought they could escape by chance after Laidan fell. The first thing they were sorry for was their relatives behind.
Nefar stood up in his seat and pulled out the sword called "Liefeng" in his hand. When he was appreciating as commander of the Ledan Legion, His Majesty the King gave him this sword, hoping that he would keep Ledan safe. Now, he can only do the last important task of repaying the king.
Staring at the inscription on the "Fierce Wind" sword, the blade exudes a flowing romance. Such a beautiful sword that can kill the Osasu barbarians with you is worthy of its value. Take a deep breath and walk out of the command room door to watch the clear sky after the rising sun.
“It will be a good day today.”
"Sir, what are you talking about?" asked the adjutant who had just walked out with Nefal, in confusion.
“It’s a good weather for fighting.”
"grown ups…"
"It doesn't matter if you die in battle! Let's go! Do our last thing."
