"Them?" Looking at the demon officers and soldiers stumbling behind him, Su Mu smiled bitterly and said: "They are all defeated Sanda. There is no leader and no discipline. Although there are thousands of people, they are just

They were in disarray. Their discipline was very bad, and some even tried to snatch our food and weapons, but we repelled them."

"Then why are they following us?"

"Now everyone doesn't know what to do and they all follow others."

"Find a way to organize them. The kingdom is in crisis, and every soldier is precious. The soldiers have only been temporarily defeated in fighting spirit and morale, but as long as you give them hope and catch their breath, they will still be fine.

warrior."

Su Mu was a little hesitant, but Yun Qianxue emphasized his tone: "Captain Su Mu, this road is all human enemy-occupied territory. To get back to Walun Fortress, it's not enough for more than a hundred of us alone. Any city's

The garrison can easily capture us, and we can't even reach Battery City. But if we can unite the scattered demon officers and soldiers, we can form several teams, or even a legion, to attack the city and plunder the territory along the way.

Fight back!"

Su Mu disagreed with Yun Qianxue's statement. During the escape, people were in panic. It was not easy to reorganize these demon soldiers who had lost their discipline and fighting spirit. But out of respect for Yun Qianxue, he still sent out

The soldiers under his command shouted that there was a leader of the kingdom here, and ordered the Sanpong to come and assemble. After shouting for a long time, at dusk, less than fifty soldiers were willing to come and assemble.

"Sir, we tried our best, but the effect is really not good."

Yun Qianxue sat up from the stretcher. He took out a package tightly wrapped in oilcloth from his arms with difficulty, and solemnly handed it to Su Mu with both hands.

Seeing Yun Shixue being so solemn, Su Mu did not dare to ignore it and took the package with both hands: "Sir, what is this?"

"The royal flag of the kingdom, His Majesty entrusted it to me to deliver to His Highness the Prince."

Su Mu immediately knelt down, holding the package with both hands and raising it above his head, his voice trembling with excitement: "Sir!"

"Open it. Let me see it too."

Su Mu carefully opened the carefully folded package, took out the flag, shook it open, pulled a corner, and smoothed the surface of the flag. He and the soldiers from the two squadrons worked together to unfold the flag and let Yun Qianxue see it.

With this smooth imperial flag soaked in the blood and sweat of the soldiers, the proud lion stared at everyone majestically.

The wind was blowing loudly. Looking at the imperial flag, tears moistened Yun Qianxue's eyes. Looking at the imperial flag, it seemed as if she saw countless familiar faces, and Yun Qianxue started to cry. Because of the pain in her chest and abdomen

The wound hurt every time she sobbed. Yun Qianxue twitched in pain, tears overflowed from her eyes drop by drop, and she cried silently.

Looking at the crying young general, Su Mu felt helpless. The burly man was frightened and panicked by what happened in front of him. Slowly, he also started crying. Tears welled up from his eyes and his throat was choked.

, shoulders and hands holding the flag trembled from crying uncontrollably.

The soldiers surrounding him also cried one after another, and the scene was filled with cries.

In the end, it was Yun Qianxue who restored peace first.

"Go, find a high place and hang up the flag! Let everyone see that the kingdom has not been defeated and the royal family is still with everyone!"

Under the reflection of the setting sun at dusk, the imperial flag floats alone on the high slope, and the golden lion roars silently. No one thought that the royal family fluttering on its face would have such great magic power, which is better than countless words and calls. Look.

When they reached the imperial flag, the demon soldiers were silent

The crowd gathered in front of the high slope, stupidly and dreamily looking up at the flag above their heads. The fluttering flag attracted them like a magnet attracting iron powder. They lingered in front of the high slope, unwilling to leave.

They gathered more and more, and became densely packed together.

The soldiers all looked at him, at the young general who was being supported and wrapped in gauze under the golden lion flag. Yun Qianxue's eyes were red. Looking at the demon officers and soldiers in front of her, a burst of sadness filled her heart. Soldiers

Tired, thin, weak, in ragged clothes, their dark faces revealed the pale faces of the dead. They just had one more breath than the dead.

Now, who cares about these children who are thousands of miles away from home?

The tears that she had been holding back burst into her eyes again, and the words that she had thought of to encourage people and morale seemed to be stuck in her throat. In the end, Yun Qianxue could only choke and shed tears, and told her intermittently.

Soldiers, the kingdom has just experienced a disastrous defeat and suffered heavy losses. All the main forces of the kingdom have suffered heavy blows from humans. The whereabouts of the God-Emperor are unknown. The commanders of the various legions have also lost contact.

"The kingdom is defeated. As the chief of staff of the base camp, I cannot shirk my responsibility. At that time, I will naturally take my own responsibility and bear the due punishment. But before that, I still have another task, which is to take the kingdom away.

Take the children who are out there home. Soldiers, please abide by military discipline and order and let me take you home."

More than five thousand people gathered in front of the high slope in silence. Only Yun Canxue's trembling voice echoed lowly. The soldiers' eyes were focused on Yun Qianxue. They did not shy away from failure or responsibility. This injured young man

The general has an indescribable charm. People can feel that every word he speaks with tears comes from the bottom of his heart. He will use his life to fulfill the promises he made. This is a leader who is worthy of trust and entrustment.

people.

The reorganization of the broken troops began. A dozen registration points were set up under the imperial flag. Captain Su Mu led the guards to maintain order. The broken soldiers lined up in a long queue in an orderly manner and went to the high slope to reorganize.

The officers were included in the roster. The officers automatically walked out of the team and reported their identities to Yun Qianxue with their identity cards: "I am Chenoa, the centurion captain of the 16th Regiment of the Third Army."

"I am the deputy team leader of the 11th team of the Fifth Army, Gosv."

"Kang Xiya, the flag officer of the Eighth Regiment of the Eleventh Army."

During this difficult period, Yun Qianxue showed the talent and quick decision-making ability of an excellent general. Regardless of which legion or unit's officers came to seek refuge with him, he accepted them all. He appointed more than a dozen centurions and ordered

They took it upon themselves to summon the scattered soldiers to come and meet

Hop. In addition, he appointed Su Mu as the grain and grass captain, responsible for leading the team to collect grain and grass - to put it bluntly, before the soldiers were hungry, they robbed all the nearby villages and towns that could be looted! No!

Food, this hastily reorganized team is about to fall apart.

Because this place is not far from Bataan. The pursuers of the Far Eastern Army or the Southeast Army may be killed at any time, and Yun Qianxue did not dare to stay for a long time. After the food search team looted three small towns, the team set off overnight. Some soldiers were still there Accustomed to the previous practice, Shen Jie killed three villagers. As a result, Yun Qianxue was subjected to martial law on the spot and ordered to hang them from the tree at the entrance of the village. However, his companions were dissatisfied and made a collective noise and swarmed to Yun Qianxue. Xue comes here to ask for an explanation.

"What time is it now, how dare you be so presumptuous!" Yun Qianxue still had a tough attitude toward the soldiers on the edge of the riot: "We are alone behind enemy lines, and the Far East Army may catch up at any time. We have to leave some room for humanity. !Think about it, if we are captured by humans in the future, these black sheep will kill us all! Think about the fate of Winkla, he slaughtered too many humans, the imperial capital ordered that all officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army must be We won’t accept surrender! Think about it, don’t you want to end up like this? What we want is to get home safely and not cause more trouble!”

After quelling an attempted riot, Yun Qianxue led the soldiers on a rapid march through the night. The troops walked more than thirty miles. By the early morning of the next day, it started to snow lightly, then rain and snow, making the originally muddy road even more difficult. As they walked, the soldiers rolled in the muddy water, almost moving forward inch by inch, and it was miserable. There were only a dozen or so pitifully small horses in the team carrying food. They were exhausted and kept raising their hooves as they walked on the road. A war horse finally couldn't support the heavy load on its shoulders and turned over. The skinny war horse was stuck in the muddy water.

Under the command of an officer with red eyes, a dozen demon soldiers rolled around the war horse in the muddy water. They tried hard to lift the warhorse and carry out the grain bags scattered in the muddy water so that they could rescue the horse. Carry precious food on your back.

For a moment, the sound of rain, the voices of people, and the neighing of horses were mixed together, and no one noticed that on the slope beside the road, Yulin General Yun Qianxue, who was being carried by a stretcher team, had already stopped there for a while. .

Seeing the exhausted soldiers rolling in the muddy water, soaked to the bone and shivering from the cold morning. A sour feeling filled Yun Qianxue's heart. How could he have expected that the great Demon Kingdom would actually After being reduced to such a state, a war horse and a mere hundred kilograms of rice actually touched the hearts of the entire team.

Considering that they were still in enemy-occupied territory and had to leave their physical strength to adapt and rush on their way, Yun Qianxue ordered the team to rest. As soon as the order was given, the soldiers didn't even have the energy to cheer, so they randomly found a spot on the side of the road where mud and water flowed for a while. I lay down in a drier place, and didn't even notice that it was snowing lightly. I put my coat on my head and fell asleep.

Looking at the fatigue of the soldiers, Yun Qianxue was deeply worried. The situation of the team was really miserable. Almost half of them were injured soldiers. Due to the lack of clean water and food, diseases were prevalent in the team, including typhoid, cholera, septicemia, TB, and so on. Colds and fevers plagued everyone. There were two military doctors in the team, but they didn't have any medicinal materials, not even a piece of clean gauze. So the military doctors could only watch the wounded roaring like cattle from the severe pain. The patients were dying, and the dead soldiers did not bother to cover them up, so they could only dump them on the roadside and cover them with grass.

The food was almost gone, and Yun Qianxue had to limit the supply. The soldiers were hungry and their eyes were glowing green like wolves. The team was on the verge of collapse. Yun Qianxue sent people to Talun City to ask for help from His Highness the Prince.

, although everyone broke out, the prince broke out in an organized manner, and the situation was much better than hers. Yun Qianxue suspected that if Prince Kalan did not send someone to respond, his team with low morale might not be able to hold on.

Talon City.

The only motivation to support the team's progress was Yun Qianxue's strength and enthusiasm. Although the general on the stretcher was injured, his high fighting spirit inspired everyone in the team. He kept preaching: "Don't be afraid of getting tired."

, Don’t be afraid of hunger! Hurry up, His Highness Karan is on the way! When we meet His Highness, we will have something to eat!”

It was only because of the earnest encouragement and fighting spirit of the stretcher general that this exhausted army could continue to advance arduously. After walking for two days and one night, Yun Qianxue was finally lucky and did not encounter the human army.

In the early morning of December 17, 2011, Yun Qianxue and his troops were less than fifty miles away from Talun City.

The closer they were to the rendezvous point, the more uneasy Yun Qianxue felt. He didn't know how many times he prayed secretly in his heart, wishing that Prince Kalan could break through smoothly and that the Yulin army would not suffer too much loss; he was even more worried and afraid of getting stuck.

When Prince Lan arrived, he had already left with his troops and horses, worried that the two of them would miss him. Somehow, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, feeling that the road ahead would not be as smooth as he expected.

Some figures appeared in the gray rain curtain ahead, and the vibration of galloping horses could be heard faintly from the road. The alert sentry on the road ahead shouted loudly: "It's one of our own! The advance team we sent is back!"

The soldiers on the side of the road moved out of the way, and the messenger named Luka went straight to Yun Qianxue.

Luka was soaked by the rain, and the rain kept dripping from his hair. His face turned pale, and his lips were trembling violently. It was unclear whether it was because of the cold or fear. There was something in his eyes that Yun Qianxue couldn't figure out.

Transparent flavor.

"Have you found the Yulin Army?" Yun Qianxue asked impatiently.

Luka answered with a trembling voice: "Found it, sir."

"Have you met His Highness Karan? Can you tell His Highness our situation?"

Luka shook his head slowly: "Sir, I can't see His Highness Karan."

"Why!" Yun Qianxue shouted angrily with an irritated blush on her face: "Didn't I write you a letter to prove my identity? Didn't I tell you that you must hand the letter to the prince with your own hands? We only have

So of the twenty-one horses, I have given eight to you because this mission is of great importance and involves the lives of thousands of brothers! How dare you be so slack! How dare you come back before completing the mission?

Aren't you afraid that I'll chop your head off?"

Luka stood straight on the road, his face turned pale, and he let the rain and snow pour on him, soaking him to the skin. Facing Yun Qianxue's angry roar, he slowly buttoned up his military uniform.

a button and then unbuttoned it.

"Sir," he spoke in a low voice, [Wuai Literature Network], but the audience all felt that such a low voice required all his willpower to speak: "I cannot meet the dead."

"What did you say?"

"His Royal Highness Karan is dead."

Even if 10,000 thunderbolts hit Yun Qianxue's head at the same time, it would not make him more shocked. At that moment, he could not even understand what "dead" meant, and could only repeat Luka's words blankly.

Words: "His Royal Highness Karan is dead? Dead? Dead?"

The sky in the early morning was gray, covered with iron-blue dark clouds, and there was not a trace of sunlight in sight.

The entire plains and hills were shrouded in misty rain and snow. It was as if something inside him was suddenly shattered. The east wind in early winter was so bitingly cold that even his heart froze and his mind went blank.

.

Yun Qianxue was speechless, and he did not ask any more questions. The huge fact that the prince was dead had occupied all his thinking ability. As for how Karan died, Yun Qianxue was no longer concerned - nothing

It’s necessary to ask, Prince Kallan died and the kingdom also perished.
