Chapter 1072: Insignificant
About twenty minutes later...
Somewhere in the Duchy of Nice, several large agricultural machinery blocked between two houses.
The faint sound of artillery fire came from a distance.
Behind the heavy tractor, several fully armed soldiers were squatting. The people in front stretched their necks and observed the cold and dark plains through the gaps in the driver's seat.
There were seven or eight other people hiding in the corner, some of whom looked nervous, some smoking cigarettes and chatting in a low voice.
A squad of twelve people, two wing-shaped mechas, and a deserted farm formed a small stronghold.
How small is it?
It's as small as the commander's tactical map, it won't even be marked.
But it was these thousands of small strongholds that formed the huge Nice line of defense that prevented the desert army from advancing.
"Boss, what's the reason why you joined the army?"
Perhaps in order to ease the tension before the war, a young soldier asked to the captain who was observing the front.
The captain is a woman in her early thirties. Although she is not old, she has a vicissitudes and calmness that is not in line with her age.
The female captain looked ahead with concentration. The young soldier asked several times before putting down the telescope in his hand and whispered, "What's the reason doesn't matter..."
"It is important that we are here, with our weapons, guarding our country."
"You really look like they said..." the young soldier joked, "a loyal kingdom soldier!"
"Maybe..." the female captain said with a little self-deprecating point, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. She picked up the telescope again and looked ahead through the gaps in the tractor.
Although the captain was not very enthusiastic, the young soldier still said to himself, "Do you know why I joined the army?"
"It's ridiculous to say that I have a beautiful girlfriend and we've been together since high school."
"When the army crossed the street, her eyes were full of admiration, saying that the handsome men who served in the army were very handsome."
"Then you join the army?" the female captain asked without looking back.
"I can't let her fall in love with others. If she wants to worship, she can only worship me." The young soldier said proudly.
"You are a brave boy." The female captain praised, still looking forward without looking back.
"I want her to look at me and return to her side with her medals all over her body." The young soldier said with a longing look on his face.
"Your wish will come true soon," said the female captain.
"I heard that the merit value can be exchanged for a lot of money. After I went back, I planned to buy a big house in the city, then propose to her, and hold a wedding that everyone envies." The young soldier became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Well, it sounds pretty good." said the female captain.
"We will go to Noyce for our honeymoon, take a sightseeing train, and go to the Holy Light to witness our love."
“It’s so enviable…”
The two of them chatted without a word. As time went by, the sound of gunfire around them became clearer and denser, as if the enemy was approaching here.
The atmosphere became more and more serious, and everyone repeatedly held the guns, sweat constantly oozing out of their palms.
As the war approached, the young soldier became frightened, grabbed the gun tightly, muttering to himself, "I, I can't die here, I must not die here..."
"If I die, she will look for other men. She is so beautiful and will definitely not wait for me. I have to go back..."
The young soldier shivered and repeated a sentence in his mouth - I must go back!
At this moment, several flares rose from all directions, and the incandescent light illuminated a large area.
A huge body appeared in everyone's sight, with a human head and a scorpion body with a hideous face, and a red body surface was beating with thousands of golden electric arcs, like an ancient evil god standing in an empty field.
The moment the eyes touched, the huge pressure made the chest feel like a huge rock, making it difficult to breathe.
All the details show that at this moment they are seeing the legend from the Kingdom of Sha - Scorpion King!
The atmosphere became extremely depressing, no one made a sound, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
Seeing the team members in horror, the female captain gritted her teeth hard, pulled the bolt suddenly, and shouted, "All personnel, prepare for the fight!"
A strong man with a bearded beard came back to his senses and asked the female captain in a rough voice, "Even Asedoro is here, where are our reinforcements!"
"Didn't it mean that the Southern Army led by Bai Ye is in Nice!"
The female captain looked at the other party coldly and said, "Don't ask me why, I'm just a second lieutenant."
"The only thing I can do is to obey the orders of my superiors and stick to this stronghold!"
"That's the Scorpion King. We don't even have the right to stuff him into pieces!" the strong man shouted loudly, his voice full of reluctance and anger.
"No, I can't die here, I can't die here..." The young soldier just now shook his head, looking in a state of dismay.
"Take a little bit of a manly spirit!" the female captain said loudly, "We are the warriors of the most powerful kingdom. Nothing can scare us, even when facing legends!"
"No, it's impossible!" the young soldier shouted out of control, "I want to go back, I can't die here."
"Captain, let's go, let's go home, Captain, let's go home..." the young soldier said, retreating, "Stay here and we will definitely die!"
"Shut up!" the female captain scolded loudly, "Do you know what you are doing!"
"No, I can't, I can't die!" the young soldier shook his head, "I want to go home, go home!"
"Let's go together, that's a legend. We will definitely die here..." the young soldier said in despair. The soldiers looked at me, and I saw you, and they were all a little shaken.
They are just the lowest-level soldiers, and in front of the legend, they are not even cannon fodder.
Seeing this, the female captain closed her eyes, took a deep breath, stared at the young soldier opposite, and said slowly, "You asked me just now, why I joined the army."
"Okay, I'll tell you now..." She looked around the audience, "Just a while ago, the mob of Sha Kingdom was in front of me..."
"I cut off my husband's head, cut off my five-year-old son's throat, and then the men of their entire tribe raped me for three days and three nights until I fainted, and they still refused to let me go."
"I am alive now to seek justice for my dead husband and children!"
The female captain pointed to the dark wilderness behind her with tears in her eyes, "Look at behind you..."
"There are your family, your parents and children, and your relatives and friends there."
"If, if you do not want your loved one to be harmed and humiliated to death, please take up your weapons." "No matter what is ahead, we must fight, even if our function is just to plug in the gaps, we must also plug in the gaps.
It makes the other person feel uncomfortable!"
The soldiers' eyes gradually became firmer, and their strength returned to their bodies bit by bit, and they held the weapons in their hands again.
However, the young soldier did not change at all. He shook his head and murmured to himself, "No, I don't want to die here, I don't want to!"
"We can obviously send reinforcements, why do we have to die in vain!"
"I'm still young, I have a beautiful girlfriend, I don't want to die yet!" the young soldier shouted in despair.
"Don't force me!" The female captain pulled out her pistol, pointed at the other party, and said sternly, "Escape at the last battle and discuss military law!"
"Why!" the young soldier grabbed his hair and shouted almost crazy, "Why does that Chen Erliu have so many beautiful women, but I have to suffer here!"
"Why can he hide in the safe rear? But I have to face the madman in the Sha Kingdom here!"
"Isn't my life my life?"
"You're crazy!" the female captain growled.
"Why, why!"
"He is just a garbage mercenary, and his origin is not as good as me!" the young soldier shouted hysterically, "Why should I be here!"
"I will definitely not die here!" the young soldier shouted and turned around to escape.
The female captain gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The flames spurted out and the bullet shot at the young soldier. A blue light flashed on his back, and the bullet hit the thin psychic armor. Suddenly, the star sand flew away, and his body pounced forward under the impact of the bullet.
The young soldier struggled to get up and ran forward.
The next second, a cold wind blew from behind, and the young soldier's chest thrust forward, and a sharp knife came out through his chest. The bright blade was particularly pale in the darkness. The young soldier stared at the sky with disbelief, looking at the corner of his mouth
A trace of blood overflowed.
"spit!"
The strong man pulled out the bloody sharp knife, spitted at the corpse, and cursed, "Coward!"
The female captain raised her pistol, "For the country, for the glory..."
"For revenge!"
"Fight!"
The soldiers were in high spirits, raised their weapons and shouted, "Fight with the sand dog!"
However, just as the entire team was full of morale and was about to do a big fight, the Scorpion King, thousands of meters away, slowly turned around, and his two scarlet eyes looked at the farm in the dark.
His eyes did not fall on the farm, but on the huge black shadow behind the farm - a steel golem dozens of meters high and slowly moving.
The next second, the Scorpion King swung the lightning fork and shot it out.
A golden light swept through the darkness, and a huge force distorted the surrounding space, and countless electric arcs burst out.
The moment the electric fork swept across the roof of the farm, it released millions of volts of high voltage. Before the entire team could scream, it turned into a charred corpse.
The fuel tanks of the two winged mechas were broken down by electric current, and the ammunition also exploded, breaking into two fireballs.
The steel golem in the distance was penetrated by an electric fork, and its heavy and slow body fell down with a bang, pressing the soldiers behind into meat sauce.
