Chapter Seven Hundred and Sixty Five

After a wave of attacks by the three dragon knights, the mountain giants lay in a mess in the dragon tomb. They were damaged a lot, and their fighting spirit was even more complete. They were attacked by Han Yuan and Xiao Li, commanders of the iron cavalry battalion, and killed many of them. At least, the barbarians of the Sword and Shield Battalion also launched a round of attacks like crazy. After more than an hour, nearly 2,000 mountain giant corpses were lying in the valley, and we wiped them all out.

...

"Quickly get back our weapons and replenish the number of arrow clusters and spears."

Under Xiao Li's order, soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army pulled out arrows and threw spears on the corpses one after another. Between the corpses of the mountain giants were the corpses of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army. With red eyes, he said: "Control, we... our brothers all died here. After this battle, should we transport their bodies back to Tianling City for burial?"

Han Yuan said indifferently: "Article 2 of Chapter 7 of the Imperial Battlefield Discipline states that all dead sergeants whose military rank is not higher than that of a centurion should be burned and buried on the spot. You should have heard of this rule."

The cavalryman's eyes turned red, and he said, "Xiaohai... Xiaohai's head was smashed to pieces...I want to bring his body to his parents..."

Han Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Military orders are like mountains, so don't show favoritism."

"Yes, control."

...[

I held the Longchi sword and rode my horse around the battlefield a few times, checked the casualties, then raised my head and said to the air: "Qingluo, go and help me see if there are any mountain giants coming, that blood giant Kai Where is you, will you personally attack the Dragon Tomb?"

In the snowstorm, Qingluo's voice came: "Okay, I'll go right away."

The swirling wind in the valley brought sporadic snowflakes down on everyone's armor. A group of soldiers of the Royal Forest Army continued to defend the spot like dead silence, while the corpses of a large number of soldiers who died in battle were piled up in a corner of the Dragon Tomb Valley. The soldiers responsible for dragging the corpses retched for a long time, and more people were crying in mourning, but they were stopped by the two commanding generals Han Yuan and Xiao Li. Grief can boost the fighting spirit of the army, but too much grief can only will appear weak.

I looked at the grass on the ground. The withered grass had been dyed blood red, and there were traces of war horses trampling everywhere. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion stood quietly by the side of the war horse, but the war horse didn't know the cruelty of war, and lowered its head to eat. Looking at the weeds that are not stained with blood.

Not long after, Qing Luo rode the crystal dragon down in the dark, and said: "Master Dragon Rider, I have confirmed that the blood giant Kyle has given up his attack on the Dragon Tomb. And it will become the target of our encirclement and annihilation here, Kyle is not stupid, and took more than 20,000 mountain giants to attack the cold and desolate dragon city."

As she spoke, she blinked and said with a smile, "I also brought Master Shuang's order."

"Well, let's talk." I smiled.

Qingluo said: "Master Shuang said that in order to prevent danger, the Imperial Forest Army will continue to guard the Dragon Tomb for Dragon City until dawn. After dawn, the strange demon army will naturally stop attacking. Predators, demon sword masters, Strange demons such as gravediggers have a certain fear of the sun, they are unwilling to attack the city in the sun, and they are even unwilling to appear in the cloudy day."

I nodded: "No problem. I will take my people back to Tianling City when the defense lasts until dawn. They have suffered a lot and need to revive their morale."

"Um."

Qing Luo nodded heavily, took a deep look at me, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Shuang will write a letter to the envoy of Tianling City, and the contribution of the Imperial Forest Army to the Seven Southern Kingdoms will be announced to the world."

Me: "Well, thank you, you take two silver dragon knights to reinforce Dragon City, and be careful to regenerate back to 1986."

"Okay, be careful too."

"Um."

...[

Hearing that the blood giant Kyle has shifted his attack target, Han Yuan and Xiao Li couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Although these two guys are fierce generals who are not afraid of death, they still have self-knowledge after all, knowing that they are really facing the blood giant Kaile. For such a terrifying existence like Er, the survival rate is almost even less than 10%.

Holding an iron knife, Xiao Li rode up to me and said in a low voice: "Master Commander, so far, 724 of the 5,000 brothers we have led have lost 724 people. In addition, more than 1,000 people have been seriously injured and more than 2,000 people have been slightly injured. , and almost the entire army was wounded."

I nod.

Han Yuan said angrily: "This group of damned strange demons are really ruthless, with many wounded and dead."

I said: "At least, there are 2,000 corpses of strange demons left here. It is unexpected for our Royal Forest Army to achieve such a battle result..."

Han Yuan was stunned: "General, according to your original expectation."

I raised two fingers and said, "I originally thought that at least 2,000 brothers would be killed."

"..."

Han Yuan was dumbfounded, and slowly put the bloody sword back into its sheath, his eyes dimmed: "General, all the dead are flesh and blood, don't you really feel bad at all?"

I sighed softly: "My heart hurts, so what, dying here is better than dying in a war with a neighboring country."

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Could it be that your lord has also heard something."

"What's the wind?"

"The emperors of Huoyun City and Linhai City seem to have a lot of resentment towards Emperor Locke. The two countries are gearing up their troops. Once the time is right, I am afraid they will send troops to the north. At that time, the task of our Royal Forest Army is not just to exterminate strange demons. gone."

I smiled slightly, it seemed that the national war was really about to happen, and even np had already felt it.

...

It wasn't until dawn the next day that the mist in the Dragon Tomb Valley began to dissipate, and when the first ray of sunlight hit the shoulder armor of the Imperial Forest Army soldiers, everyone cheered in unison. Here, whether it is for the honor of the empire or to protect the homeland, the fate is always his own.

Holding the Longchi sword, I said, "Bury the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and transport the bodies of generals above the centurion back to the city."

Green smoke curled up in the valley, and the smell of burning corpses was not pleasant. A group of Imperial Forest Army soldiers watched their acquaintances being buried, and wept uncontrollably. Xiao Li even pierced his long sword into the soil and knelt there on one knee , with tears in his eyes, led the soldiers to sing a lament for the empire's war dead in an unpleasant voice.

The sky is bright, and the warriors are great.

Swear my loyalty, and bury my bones in a foreign land.

The sky is bright, and the warriors are great.

Wearing armor, guarding the country with soul.

...

The mountain road was covered with frost. I rode my horse and marched slowly in front of the formation. A group of Imperial Forest Army returned to the army in full outfit. When they came, they were full of fighting spirit. I already know what war looks like. Many aristocratic boys who joined the army just wanted to tell the heroic deeds of their charge in front of the girls after returning home. However, the real war is definitely related to such things as being handsome and heroic. , at least not when facing a powerful opponent. The powerful strange demon killed the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army with crushing power. This scene must remain in the minds of many people for the first time.

When passing through the cold and desolate dragon city, the fighting here has also ceased. Everyone is dragging the remains of the war dead. The situation is no better than ours. This makes me think that although the cold and desolate dragon city is cold, the real situation is Like a furnace, every time the strange demon army attacked, it always left many corpses, but the strange demon army seemed to be exhausted, killing endlessly, without end.

She didn't say goodbye to Liu Shuang, she must be very busy too, but after having 15 dragon knights in the cold wasteland dragon city, it seems that it has really improved a lot. If it was changed before, I am afraid that the onslaught of the night can almost make the cold wasteland dragon city fall again up.

...

After crossing Meridian Mountain and entering the Gale Forest, more than an hour later, when we passed through the Gale Forest, we found a knight in golden armor coming on horseback, and respectfully said: "You are in the cold and desolate Dragon City!" Repel the Kingsman army of the mountain giants."

I nodded: "Exactly."

The knight was overjoyed immediately, and said: "I am the Imperial Knight, Potter, Your Majesty ordered me to come to meet you, hurry up, Your Majesty, His Highness the First Prince, His Highness the Second Prince, and His Highness Pei Er are already in the city. Waiting for you outside, ready to catch the wind for you."

I was stunned: "The Royal Forest Army just resisted the strange demons in the cold dragon city for one night, and they didn't make much military exploits. Why are they mobilizing so many troops?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across the knight's face: "You have so many things to do, I just ask you to lead the army there quickly. Maybe your majesty is here to comfort the soldiers of the three armies, not to comfort you."

I:"……"

Han Yuance immediately stepped forward and whispered in my ear: "The empire is full of such flattering villains, general, I know you will not be willing to become such a person, but...we are in the empire, so we can't be too stubborn Otherwise, you will only hurt yourself."

I nodded: "Well, I know."

...

With an order, the Royal Forest Army accelerated their march, and rushed towards Tianling City with me, the homeland for which we shed our blood.

In front of the city, there are many battle flags flying, and Emperor Locke's royal driver is in the center of the crowd. In addition, there are some troops outside the city, which seem to be from the Yanlong Army and Xia Yu Army. The number is about 2,000. Some players are waiting and watching, not knowing what happened in Tianling City.

When Han Yuan, Xiao Li and other generals and I stepped forward, we stood up straight and said on our horses: "Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Highness Pei'er, I'm here to deliver the order."

Saying that, I handed the token I got when I set off to Pei'er, and Pei'er smiled happily at me.

Han Yuan, Xiao Li and other generals knelt down one after another, but I, the commander, was still riding on the horse. I was a player and wanted me to bow down to this fatuous emperor, dreaming.

Among the crowd, an old general held his sword hilt and shouted: "Li Xiaoyao, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty?"

I pretended not to hear.

Emperor Locke smiled slightly: "Forget it, General Li doesn't need to be formal, we have already obtained the feather book of the cold and desolate dragon city, and the imperial forest army fought bravely in the cold and desolate dragon city. They are really the outstanding talents of our Tianling Empire. Wang Te bestowed two golden swords, one king's flag, one national shield, and one million gold coins to the Imperial Forest Army. I hope you will continue to fight bravely and serve the empire."

Han Yuan, Xiao Li and the others said in unison: "My minister obeys."

...

At the same time, I got another 200 merit points, and Emperor Locke looked at me and said, "General Li, follow me back to the palace, I have something to tell you."

I was slightly taken aback, but I had an ominous premonition.
