Chapter 1233 Section 155 Soldiers’ Duty Is to Obey Orders

Chapter 1233 Section 155. Soldiers should obey orders as their first duty

The Kingdom of Rekanel, the Kingdom of Dimon, and the Empire of Orcas were once the front lines against demons.

Together, they maintained order in the North.

But after the Kingdom of Rekanel fell and the Empire of Orcas retreated to protect itself, only the Kingdom of Dimon was still resisting.

Because they had nowhere to retreat.

But now, the intervention of Free City has given the kingdom an extra way out... but this way out cannot be accepted by the royal family.

So the only people who knew about it were the king, the eldest prince, and Marshal Galkin on the front line.

After learning about it, Marshal Galkin sent someone to reply "I know" and came to the terrace of the command room.

The generals argued endlessly in the map room behind them. Outside the window reflecting Marshal Galkin's huge body was a dense and undispersed darkness. From time to time, a light that briefly illuminated the earth burst out from the depths, shaking the window sill constantly.

Click——

As the door of the map room was pushed open, the messenger rushed in, and the roar of the outside world and the chaotic noise in the camp were poured in with the cold wind.

The guard behind the door closed the door to isolate the noise outside.

The sudden light in the depths of darkness was not lightning, but the light and shadow of evil energy. The roar was not thunder, but the sound of fighting from afar.

Only darkness is real darkness, but lurking in it is a wave of rats.

Ratmen are like this, endless, flooding you like waves. All those who face them will feel powerless and desperate.

City wall?

Only walls that can consume ratmen are city walls, otherwise they are just small mounds no matter how high they are.

The deputy liaison officer of the Northern Resistance Corps walked behind Marshal Galkin with the message sent by the messenger: "Lord Galkin, the supplies in the rear have arrived, and we are asked to open the portal."

A few minutes later, Marshal Galkin, wearing a coat, and a group of officials came to the camp.

A large portal opened in the open space illuminated by illumination magic, and carriages carrying supplies drove out one after another.

Marshal Galkin walked to the wooden box next to him, and the guards beside him drew their swords to cut off the box latch, opened the wooden box, and revealed brand new magic muskets that were neatly placed in the sawdust and shiny.

Marshal Galkin grabbed a handful, which felt heavy, with a cold glow on the surface, and was made of solid materials.

"Free City?" He tilted his head and asked.

The deputy liaison officer said, "Yes, they are all sent from Liberty City to the capital..."

"Why waste the effort to transport such broken things?"

Grand Marshal Galkin threw the magic musket back into the wooden box and said impatiently, "Send it to the blacksmith shop to be melted."

He opened a few more wooden boxes, and there were weapons and armor. Grand Marshal Galkin's face looked much better, but limited: "No food?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the food is still on the way."

"Why not use the portal to transport it?"

"It must be supplied to the capital first..."

Grand Marshal Galkin snorted coldly and said nothing: "Vegio, how much food do we have?"

"It's enough for the army to consume for five days."

"That's not enough, call Hanji over."

Soon, the leader of the Green Shield Knights came to Grand Marshal Galkin.

The steel-forged armor was covered with scratches from the battle with the ratmen, and his resolute face was like a knife and an axe. No one doubted his loyalty to his beliefs.

"Grand Marshal Galkin." Captain Hanji saluted.

"Take your knights and go to the rear to collect food."

"That line of defense..."

"Someone will take over from you."

"Yes, sir."

Captain Hanji stood up and left.

Not long after, a knight group left the camp.

...

The defense line of the Northern Resistance Corps was arranged at Fenris Pass. In the old days when there was no Snow Mountain Fortress, this was the front line of the Dimon Kingdom to resist the devil. With the fall of the Snow Mountain Fortress, Fenris Pass was reopened and was captured by the demon army last year.

It was precisely because of the loss of the pass that the demon army marched straight in, causing a series of chain crises such as the Lesio Valley and the Mountain City.

After retaking it, the capital spent a lot of materials and money to build Fenris Pass to avoid the scene of the demon army approaching the capital again.

Behind the pass is a large plain connected to the Lesio Valley. Fortunately, it was not contaminated by the plague. After a large number of residents were relocated, it became the kingdom's grain-producing area this year.

What the Green Shield Knights have to do is to collect food from these new people.

After leaving the first town, there were several more wagons full of food behind the Knights...

Yes, only a few.

Not enough even for the Knights themselves.

But there was no other way, this was the food that the mayor had mobilized the whole town to pay.

The villages and towns that passed by next did not pay much food, and after repeated collection by the kingdom, they could no longer provide more food.

There were also women who could not survive and rushed to the streets with their children, begging the Knights to leave some food for them.

More and more people came to the streets. They were pale and thin, ragged, and did not even have a pair of decent shoes.

Such a group of poor people could be easily dealt with by a few knights. But they seemed to stand in front of the knights without fear of life and death.

A bard squeezed out and shouted at Hanji: "You said that moving back to farm would protect us, and we did it! You said that we needed money and food to resist the ratmen, and we donated everything we had! You said that everyone must defend their own country, and we sent our children to the front line! But you want to take away our last food-"

The horses in chain mail stamped their hooves restlessly, and the knights held their weapons tightly to prevent the riots that were about to happen.

The bard's eyes were red, and he screamed: "We can only die!"

Hanji clenched his fists tightly, and his veins bulged.

Holy Light... If you can see this miserable scene, why don't you respond to our call...

"Captain, do you want to disperse them?"

The staff looked at the increasing number of people on the street and couldn't help but remind them.

"... Give the food back to them." Hanji suddenly said.

"What?"

"I said give the food back to them."

The people on the street looked at the young Knight Commander in disbelief.

"Captain, the Grand Marshal..." The staff couldn't help but remind him.

"I'll go and explain to the Grand Marshal."

...

"You idiot!"

Hanji flew backwards and knocked down countless expensive collections on the display cabinets by the wall.

He got up silently, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you not convinced?"

The Grand Marshal Galkin standing there was like a lion awakening, exuding a terrifying aura.

Hangji raised his head, his eyes like a calm lake: "Lord Galkin, those food are not enough for us... If they take the food, they will die..."

"Annan said something, which is one of the few times I agree with him."

Grand Marshal Galkin said sternly: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders."

"I am willing to accept the punishment..."

Grand Marshal Galkin ignored him and walked past him.

"Follow me."
