After yesterday's commotion and noise, Ryder City seemed particularly calm today.
There was no roar of artillery fire, no hoarse shouts, no sound of war fortresses flying through the sky at high speed, and no screams that could make people nervous.
The bright summer sunshine shines on the ground, the cool breeze blowing from the sea blows across the earth, and the dark green vegetation reveals its strong vitality.
The land was quiet, giving people a strange feeling, as if the war clouds and blood-colored fog hanging overhead had all dissipated, and today the land had regained its light and was full of vitality.
It also makes people under the clear sky feel relaxed and happy.
This is actually not surprising, because before yesterday, there was a group of powerful lichs stationed here. Although they did not cast spells, they were like a huge and cold iceberg, releasing dark magic elements to the surroundings all the time.
, affecting everyone around them.
Liches hate sunlight. There is no clear sky above their heads, as if the light is deflected near them.
Yesterday, the lichs guarding Ryder City were ambushed by the Dragon Tribe. Unprepared, most of them were killed or wounded as soon as the Dragon Tribe attacked. Then the Dragon Tribe launched a ruthless pursuit of them.
Even the lichs who were not killed at that time were still dead and fled, and no one knew where they went.
There is no longer a dark creature stationed here, and their influence is naturally gone.
Let the light truly shine on this land again.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the blazing sun scorched the earth. Under the orders of the officers, the Semitic soldiers climbed out of the deep trenches they had dug. They patted the soil off their bodies. They straightened their tattered and dirty military uniforms and wiped them.
They flashed their weapons, and then lined up neatly along the bombed-out streets, heading towards the wilderness not far away.
These defeated... uh, glorious battlefield rebels will hold a flag-changing ceremony here.
Around them, as many as a million human armies gathered in three directions.
This is the largest massing operation in human history. The number of human soldiers on the battlefield actually exceeds one million, not just an imaginary number. If you include the civilians transporting supplies, the total number may be as high as 1.5 million. This is
An unprecedented military operation.
In the wilderness outside Ryder City, there are flags like a sea and swords and spears like a forest.
The dense phalanx of soldiers was like huge carpets, covering the entire earth. Viewed from the air, it seemed as if the earth had changed its color.
At the front of the team, dozens of huge flags were hung on flagpoles ten meters high. Flying eagles, tigers, lions, red maple leaves in the red maple forest, the golden cross of the Holy See... all kinds of colorful flags.
The flag flutters in the wind.
These are all the flags of the countries participating in the war, united under the blue banner of the United Nations.
It was through the bloody battles of the soldiers of these participating countries that they defeated the huge number of invaders, destroyed the dark mage's war machine, and won today's victory.
The soldiers, who were filled with a sense of victory and pride, all held onto their weapons tightly and looked coldly at the Semitic soldiers who were coming up one after another.
Originally, the human soldiers would have thought that the Semitic people would tremble in fear in front of their majestic military might.
It was they who drove the Semites from Fantino all the way back to Ryder City.
But they were surprised to find that even though they were facing their own sharp swords, the Semitic people all held their heads high, as if they had never seen them before.
Everyone couldn't help but carefully look at the army on the opposite side.
Due to the long-term siege, the extreme lack of supplies, especially the lack of food, coupled with the overwhelming and intensive human artillery fire and the continuous aerial bombardment, each of these Semitic soldiers looked hungry and haggard.
Most of the soldiers' bodies were still covered in black smoke, and their clothes were somewhat tattered and full of large and small holes.
The tattered clothes exposed the flesh, and when the wind blew, they looked like strips of cloth.
The faces of many soldiers were also blackened by the flames of war, their hair was tangled together like withered moss, each had a long beard, and only the outline of their faces could be vaguely distinguished.
But despite this, each of them still held their chests high and took long strides as they marched, without the slightest fear.
This situation makes all human soldiers admire them.
These bastards are really good~!
These ragged, malnourished guys can actually persist for such a long time in front of Lord Luo's cannon. They can be considered a group of heroes~!
Did they know that when hundreds of cannons fired in a salvo, the earth-shaking sound would frighten even the timid ones to death?
Amid the loud orders, groups of Semitic soldiers came to the wilderness and formed a dense army.
Immediately, a fierce drum beat sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a loud voice resounded throughout the earth.
"Lower the flag!"
As the sound fell, the flag bearers in the Semitic army took off the battle flags in their hands and threw them vigorously into the distance, leaving only a bare flagpole.
At this time, waves of sobs could be heard faintly from the military formations.
Hearing that voice, all the human officers and soldiers did not laugh loudly, but instead all looked at the group of ragged warriors with sympathy.
The military flag is a symbol of military honor, bravery and unified command, and represents the pride and dignity of soldiers.
Under the leadership of the military flag, the soldiers crossed mountains, crossed rivers, and crossed deserts without fear.
For the fluttering military flag, countless soldiers marched forward, staining the battlefield with blood.
The military flag has become a part of their lives.
But now, the military flag has been removed by their own hands.
Frankly speaking, if they were allowed to take down their own military flags, it would be no different than killing them.
Lorraine stood on the high platform directly in front of him, looking down at the Semitic legions. He was filled with emotions for a moment.
Now, there is no commotion among these Semitic legions. The orders are flowing smoothly and the actions are uniform. No abnormalities can be seen.
But yesterday, when the soldiers signed the petition, riots and even bloody conflicts broke out repeatedly.
I didn't expect that these middle- and lower-class Semitic soldiers could be so staunch.
Reminiscing that when the generals signed their pledges, they all wrote very quickly. Lord Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But, having said that, this is also human nature.
When you are a high-ranking official, you are naturally more concerned about your life when you are popular and drink spicy food.
For example, those bastards at TEPCO Corporation are about to turn into Ultraman, but now, the senior executives are living shamelessly.
In the Bigfoot Basin country, where ordinary people commit suicide easily if they make a small mistake, we have to admit that this is indeed a miracle.
So when the Footpot people clamored for war, it was just a joke, and all the bloody Footpot warriors would have died long ago. Otherwise, the chairman of TEPCO should have been punished by heaven long ago.
And now there are only a group of weaklings from the Knights of Concern for the Country. You know, the underworld even cuts off their fingers when they make mistakes.
At this time, another fierce drum beat sounded.
Next to the flags of various countries in front of the human army, a large flag was slowly raised on a bare flagpole.
The soldiers present couldn't help but wonder. What is going on? Whose flag is this?
Under everyone's surprised gaze, the flag slowly rose up. When it reached the top of the flagpole, a gust of wind blew, causing the flag to suddenly unfold and make a hunting sound.
I saw that it was a flag I had never seen before.
On that flag, there were two huge lightning bolts embroidered on it. They were twisted and deformed in the flag and intertwined together. It seemed like there was infinite power shooting out from the flag. The lines were simple but very powerful.
Immediately afterwards, the Semitic flag-bearers took a similar flag from the soldiers next to them, then spread it out with shaking hands, then re-inserted it on the flagpole in their hands, and then raised it high.
Then another drumbeat sounded.
All the generals turned their attention to Lorraine.
Lord Luo couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself: What is supposed to come will eventually come.
He reluctantly walked to the stage and gently touched the microphone in front of him.
A piercing scream came from the loudspeaker not far away, and not far away, the officers in charge of the loudspeaker equipment all turned red with excitement.
These are the officers responsible for the 'massive persuasive weapons'.
After the broadcast the night before yesterday, civil strife broke out among the Semites the next day. On the third day, they collectively surrendered... ah, no, they revolted.
This fully illustrates the powerful power of "massive persuasive weapons".
These bastards were all so excited that they almost went crazy, insisting that the victory in this battle was created by them.
The military officer in charge even complained to everyone he met: He thought Lord Luo had acted too quickly. Otherwise, he might have broadcasted for two more days to trick the lichs into coming over.
Even the high priest can wake up and abandon evil and do good...
As for that crazy bitch, basically everyone was speechless.
Lorraine glanced at the officers, then took out his speech. He couldn't help but sigh again: Originally, this job was for Archduke Julian, but he thought it was too embarrassing and pretended to have a stomachache.
, one step faster than Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sir Luo looked down, simply threw the speech aside, and then said loudly: "Brothers, we are gathered here today to celebrate the victory of the great Holy War.
For this war, we have paid countless bloodshed and sacrifices. Here, let us observe a moment of silence together to pay tribute to those fallen heroes.
May they rest in peace with the God of Light."
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
All the soldiers present lowered their heads, and there was silence.
Although the Semitic soldiers were disdainful, they had to lower their heads and silently mourned their dead comrades.
After a while, Lorraine continued: "Here, we are also celebrating another thing.
We saved tens of thousands of Semitic brothers from the evil, despicable, shameless and obscene High Priest of the Undead. We helped them get rid of the control of the evil High Priest of the Undead.
All of us know how powerful the undead high priest is and how terrifying it is once controlled by him.
Although these Semitic brothers have been liberated now, don't forget that in the Semitic continent, there are still tens of millions and hundreds of millions of living beings and people who are still being brutally exploited by the high priest of the undead and living a miserable life.
Live like a cow or a horse.
It is precisely because of the brutal rule of the high priest that the Semitic people have been living in dire straits.
It is precisely because of the brutal rule of the high priest that the peaceful, kind, hard-working, and frugal Semitic people were inspired and forced by him to take up arms and bring the flames of war to our land.
We, the United Nations, are the most important armed force in the world that maintains world peace, safeguards justice and freedom, and safeguards imperial power and people's livelihood.
He has an important and unshirkable responsibility for everything that happens around the world that undermines peace, tramples on justice and freedom, and attempts to subvert and destroy imperial power and people's livelihood.
And this is also our unshirkable responsibility.
Don’t forget, it was precisely because of our sitting back and watching that the high priest enslaved the Semitic people. It was also because of our connivance that the high priest was able to successfully force the Semitic people to take up arms.
In the end, the flames of war were burned on our heads.
Therefore, no matter when, we must always be vigilant and fight against all evil in the world.
Now, we have only rescued tens of thousands of people from the hands of the high priest. In the future, we will surely liberate the people on the Semitic continent who have been enslaved and tortured by the evil high priest.
Let them live a happy and peaceful life like us, let them sing in the sun, let them eat well and drink broth...
Although the world is vast, there is not an inch of land that can accommodate evil.
As long as the sun shines, we are obliged to defend it with the sword in our hands, iron and blood."
Lord Luo's speech was later called the "Sunshine Declaration", and of course some people called it the "Rogue Declaration".
Because his main meaning is that no matter where the sun shines, we can maintain peace, or in other words, as long as the sun shines, we can play hooligans.
When Lord Luo ended his words with an impassioned exclamation, all the human soldiers understood, then raised their weapons, shouted and cheered loudly.
"Long live~!"
"Long live victory~!"
“Recovering the Semitic Nation.”
"Suppress Thunderfort and liberate Arkadelin."
"Liberate all mankind"
"..."
Waves of cheers resounded across the earth like a tide.
xxxxx
With the change of flag of the Semitic Legion, it also marked that the entire human continent no longer had an organized hostile force. It also represented the end of the Second Holy War.
Although this war lasted for nearly a year, and affected half of the countries in the mainland. Nearly 100 million people were displaced, countless aristocratic families that had been passed down for more than 500 years were wiped out, and nearly 20 countries were destroyed.
but……
But when people heard that the war was over, they were all surprised.
In everyone's opinion, it seems that this battle ended a little too quickly.
Thousands of years ago, the Holy War lasted for eight years. Humanity paid an extremely heavy price for that war, and almost one-fifth of the population was affected.
But now, for those people who are behind the scenes and have not been affected, it seems that there is just a military exercise, or they are just singing or dancing. Before they know it, the war is over. It seems that
Somewhat unreal feeling.
But in fact, there is an extremely important difference behind this.
During the war thousands of years ago, the Holy See of Light was not widespread among humans. Therefore, the Liches could easily recruit an army of undead skeletons from cemeteries, battlefields, and other places.
After that war, the Holy See was established, and priests and priests performed requiem masses for all the dead, so that their souls could rest in peace and would no longer be disturbed by lichs.
This is an extremely large, tedious, time-consuming and labor-intensive task. But precisely because of the work of the Holy See, the Liches lack the most important help.
The huge and insurmountable gap between the powerful weapons produced by Naian and the weapons of the Semites allowed the troops equipped with muskets and artillery to exert a powerful combat effectiveness of one to ten or one to twenty.
In addition, there is the development of science and technology. Telegraph and telecommunications can enable human troops to receive news fifteen to twenty days earlier than before, and mobilize and mobilize in a timely manner.
Railway construction also made large-scale and rapid mobilization of the army possible.
It was precisely because each legion carried out rapid cross-regional maneuvers that they were able to block one gap after another in time, forcing the Semitic people to make military plans one after another go bankrupt.
It is precisely because of the combination of these factors that we achieved today's victory.
The most representative of them is one thing.
After changing their banner, the Semitic soldiers obtained their military supplies from the Naian military.
These starved puppies were all happily chewing canned meat and eating toffee. At this time, they saw the soldiers of the Nai'an Army pouring out their canned meat to feed the dogs with disgusted expressions on their faces.
All the Semitic officers and soldiers collapsed at once.
The tough guy who never cried once when he surrendered was now desperate, sitting on the ground and crying bitterly.
Human beings are as powerful as brothers~!
Even the most stupid Semitic soldiers began to wonder if they were really wrong, and then began to blindly follow humans.
Under such circumstances, the reorganization of the Semitic army was naturally extremely smooth.
On this day, Lorraine was sitting in the office looking through the roster of paintings of the Flash Army. At this time, the door curtain opened and Lester strode in.
He didn't say anything, but took the water bottle on the table, took a big sip from mouth to mouth, and then sat on the chair without saying a word.
Lorraine looked at him, stood up with a smile and said: "Master, how is the situation of your ambush on the high priest? Is he dead?"
Lester hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It should be said that it was successful."
Lorraine was stunned: "Should?"
Lester said: "We killed the high priest, but the high priest is not dead yet."
