Chapter 257: Death
"No., No. - Maria's wall was broken through, giants attacked the city, and the garrison troops fought hard to resist."
"The giant broke through the Maria wall, tens of thousands of people died, and hundreds of thousands of families were homeless."
"Refugees poured into Ruth's wall, supplies were tight, prices soared."
"The king ordered the formation of a wall-capturing army and vowed to retake the wall of Maria."
"The Maria Wall is full of tragic phenomena, and the morale of the army grabbing the wall is rising, and victory is just around the corner."
"The army of walls is set in, and the target of Maria Wall."
It was a cloud of sorrow, holding a wooden gun rod in his hand and a rusty iron spearhead. This was the equipment of most people in the Wall-Snatching Army.
Only regular troops have firewalls, and the task of regular troops is to rush forward to seize the wall. Whoever dares to retreat will be shot immediately.
The teams composed of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are completely useless for the king. Those who do not have the energy to reclaim the fields will only waste food.
Of course, there are also a small number of young and middle-aged people in the team. They exchange their lives for the right to stay behind Ruth's wall. Most of the young people are fathers or mothers, and their children are either young and cannot do things or are naturally weak and cannot do heavy work. Therefore, they are willing to trade their lives for life.
A team of 250,000 people was divided into four directions and moved in four directions.
It has to be said that the king was very irrational in dispersing his troops. He had no heavy weapons at all, and he even divided the team into four. It was simply unwise. However, the king had his own considerations and he had no hope of regaining the Maria Wall. There was only one reason for him to divide his troops, which was that he was worried that all 250,000 people would mutiny, which was what he absolutely did not want to see. After dividing the troops, even if the mutiny was not all, he could still deal with it.
The dark team was already determined to die. None of them felt that they could escape under the mouth of the giant. They wanted to go back to the back of the city wall, but they were surrounded by military police teams riding tall horses and holding steel guns. As long as someone had any abnormal movement, they would shoot without hesitation.
When he went south to the wall-grabbing force of the Jiganshina Urn City, there was an uncle whose name was Charles. He volunteered to join the wall-grabbing army for his old father to survive. When he fled the Wucheng, someone asked him to find Duran, but he refused for his father. But now I think I am really naive. At that time, I heard Duran say that the city wall will definitely be broken, one is broken by giants, and the other is broken by themselves. I think,
At that time, I was just like a joke. Duran said that if the city wall was broken by a giant, those who survived not only had to face the giant, but also had to face the oppression of the army. Now Duran's words sounded as accurate as a prophecy, and Charles' eyes lit up. When the city was broken, it seemed that many people had gone to Duran to find Duran. Duran would definitely have a way to make them survive. Now that there is no choice, then rushing into the city wall and finding them may have a glimmer of vitality.
However, it is impossible to return to the Shiganshina City with only one person's strength. You must find companions. As long as you help each other together, more people will be saved.
So when he was resting at night, Charles spread the story of the magical Duran widely, and he also began to speak like Duran, but now he speaks more persuasive and incitement than Duran.
The bonfire was very strong, and the Maria Wall was broken through for only two days. Now there is no need to worry about meeting a giant, not so fast.
Charles raised his right hand sideways, "For Mary."
The others looked at Charles who was standing up strangely, and the military police also saw it, but when he heard Charles say it was for Maria, he did not stop it. If someone came out to inspire the momentum, the military police would be happy to see it.
"My name is Charles. Today I have a few words here. Please listen carefully." In fact, there were no other sounds besides sighing, so Charles' voice spread around, "Maybe everyone thinks we are going to die, and there is no need to listen to what I say. So please let me say something, have you ever considered what death is? I once heard someone say that this person is still fighting with giants in the city of Chigansina. He said death is not scary, but what is scary is that he doesn't know why we died. I didn't know the meaning of this sentence before.
Now I understand. I am afraid of death, but I am willing to accept death because I am for the old father behind Ruth's wall. For my father, I stand here voluntarily. Thinking about my father being able to survive, I will not be afraid, because now my behavior has changed some things. Then everyone think that this is just me, we have more than 80,000 people here, and eighty thousand I have formed a huge group together. As long as everyone finds something that can make us fight and sacrifice for, then our strength will crush the giants and retake the Maria Wall."
Charles looked at those blank gazes, and as he spoke, he suddenly felt a flame and a force on his chest. He wanted to vent and shout. At the same time, he also thought that when Duran was giving a speech, his eyes were the same. Yes, now it was time for Duran to fight back and forth and burn his boats, Charles' voice rose in vain.
"A great era has arrived, an era that does not rely on the city walls, an era that is created by our hands has arrived, and we must surrender, endure humiliation, and obey orders has arrived. We must strive, tirelessly and slack off. Opposite us are giants and monsters. In their eyes, we are so small, but eighty thousand of us will be great and will surpass giants. Let us raise our heads high and strengthen our belief. Today's battle
, it is for our children not to be swallowed by giants. Now it is not that we are going to start a war, but that the war has begun a hundred years ago. We and the giants are destined to survive. Then we have only one choice, to hold our weapons high, to gather the strength of all of us together, and to obey the only order, that is, to fight, to fight, to never die. Our bodies will die, but our will will be immortal, for Mary, for ourselves, for humanity——”
"Don't die--"
Just like a plague virus, the power of role models is endless, and the entire Southern Army was inspired by Charles' speech. Although many people only heard others repeat Charles' speech a few days later.
