Although it was only mid-November, the breath of winter was already very strong. The biting cold wind swept across the entire battlefield and blew on the blood-stained cheeks of the soldiers. The soldiers who were still a little tired suddenly felt refreshed.
The hand holding the weapon became tighter, and the light in his eyes became more intense, as if he was looking forward to the continuation of the battle.
Wuyou stood on the city wall, the cold wind making her sexy magic robe rustle. After the battle just now, she had lost her original curiosity about war and was replaced by a fighting spirit.
Yes, most of the battles Wuyou has participated in since leaving home are personal battles, and most of them are forced to take action for the safety of his own life, which can be said to be a passive response.
At this time, she was not fighting alone. There were thousands of soldiers behind her, as well as mercenaries who had been recruited. Moreover, she was not fighting for herself, she was fighting to keep thousands of people away from the flames of war.
fighting.
When she thought that her fighting had brought peace to the people, Wuyou was no longer so averse to killing. Now she just wanted to kill more monsters and firmly defend the city.
"Hey... is it over yet? What happened to this year's World of Warcraft? They launched such a violent attack at the beginning. Not only did they defeat one wave without even a chance to breathe, but another wave came again!!
!" an old soldier complained to another bearded soldier.
"Yes, it was not like this in previous years. Could it be that something happened in the Warcraft Forest?" The bearded soldier wiped the spear in his hand and replied helplessly.
"It must be, this is a life-threatening impact. If they continue like this, I don't know if we can hold the city gate before the shift changes." The old soldier sighed slightly and looked into the distance with a solemn face.
at.
"Am I really going to die here this year? No, I will retire in two years. My son is almost ten years old. I haven't hugged him in person for many years. Maybe he doesn't recognize me anymore.
This father! I wonder how they have been doing well in the past few years when I was not at home?" The bearded soldier sighed deeply, with a hint of hope in his cloudy eyes.
The old soldier patted his shoulder and sighed: "Hey, Tony, you're fine. As long as you stick to it for two more years, you will retire and return to the main city to work as a casualty. With all your years of military exploits, you don't have a leader."
, at least he is a guard captain!"
Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he sighed softly in an almost inaudible voice: "Hey, I have been here for more than ten years, and the superiors have long wanted me to retire, but what can I do after I retire?
Where are you going? If you are not familiar with the people and places in the main city, even if you have extraordinary military exploits, it is not appropriate for me to be the captain of the guard at my age."
The soldier named Tony smiled naively and said: "Even if you don't become the captain of the guard, it's not bad to go home and live a good life with your wife with the state's subsidies!"
When the old soldier heard this, his eyes gradually became blurred, as if he was recalling something. His left hand was still on the shoulder of the bearded soldier, but his thoughts had drifted far away, and he murmured: "Home...
Do I still have a family? My family was killed by a monster raid more than ten years ago, and even...the bones have not been found..." As he said this, his eyes were filled with tears. "That's all...
That’s all…just survive like this…”
After listening to the old soldier's words, the bearded soldier sighed sadly, and then said: "Lawrence, don't be like this, don't think about these unhappy things, even if your family is gone, there are always a few relatives, and it's okay to live with your relatives.
That’s right. You are the giant hammer of our Lameer Fortress. Who doesn’t know that there is a giant hammer in Lamere Fortress——Lawrence, if you retire, you will be loved by the people!"
Lawrence shook his head helplessly, wiped the corners of his eyes with his rough hands, and said in despair: "Our village is right next to Lamere Fortress. When the city was breached, everyone in the village... died, and the only thing left was the village.
I was the one who fought on the city wall. My son was already sixteen years old back then. If he hadn’t died yet, he would probably be as old as you!"
After speaking, Lawrence looked at Tony deeply. In the past ten years, he had witnessed Tony's growth. In his eyes, he completely regarded Tony as his own son. He even took good care of him on the battlefield. Now Tony
He was happy from the bottom of his heart to be able to retire and regain a safe and stable job. However, this young man who he had always treated as a child would eventually leave him, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed and reluctant.
Thinking that he had brought up the old soldier's sadness, Tony felt very guilty. He hurriedly grabbed the hand on his shoulder and said seriously: "How about you come home with me? Although my home is nothing
We are a rich family, but we still have enough food to take care of. You will live in my house from now on, and I will be your son from now on!"
Looking at Tony's sincere eyes, Lawrence burst into tears. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, which was suddenly replaced by loneliness. Lawrence forced a smile and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that I haven't retired because I have nowhere to go."
Yes, when I saw the dilapidated village and the mangled corpses of the villagers, I had already sworn in front of the God of Creation that I would stick to Lamere Fortress during my lifetime to avenge my relatives and for
Let more citizens be protected from the harm of war.”
Tony has always been grateful to the guard captain in front of him who has always taken good care of him. Now that he knows about his tragic experience and his persistent vows, he admires this captain even more in his heart. He knows that he cannot stop this lonely old man.
Will, after all, the oath has been fulfilled. If you fail to make the oath in front of the Creator God, you will be punished by the rules.
Therefore, he could only tighten the veteran's hand and say nothing, but he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would do his best to protect his safety in the only two years he had left. It was just two years, not the remaining time.
Here, this is not that he is selfish, but that his parents are old and may die soon. He not only has the important responsibilities of the country, but also the responsibilities of the family. For this old man, the only thing he can do is
I only have two short years of protection.
Wuyou was standing not far from them, and all their conversations fell into his ears. Looking at the two soldiers, one was middle-aged but looked aged due to his beard, while the other had gray hair on his temples.
, Two such ordinary people dedicate their lives to the rise and fall of the country. What else can you have in your heart but respect for such a soldier Wuyou?
Yes, they are just a small city defense army soldier. They do not have a prominent position, nor are they as powerful as their own family members, but they have reached their limit. The princes and generals Xiang Ning have the guts!
This is the first time I have participated in such a war, and I am already exhausted. But these two soldiers in front of me have been here for decades, how can their hearts be relaxed?
It's just that fatigue has long been replaced by numbness. All they can do is to fight hard with the weapons in their hands, like a killing machine, facing the ferocious monsters whose intelligence has not yet been awakened, fighting endlessly. Endless fighting.
Sighing slightly, Wuyou looked at the corpses of monsters scattered around the city, as well as the broken human limbs mixed in. The messy and intertwined teeth marks of monsters on the broken limbs, the flesh and blood were turned out, and the bones were intertwined, which was even more shocking.
The scene in front of him was intertwined with the conversation between the two soldiers, which echoed in his mind for a long time. Wuyou felt depressed in his heart. Maybe this was war, and only the sacrifice of a few people could exchange for the comfort of the majority.
The earthquake sound was louder at this time, not only because the monsters were getting closer and closer to the city wall, but also because the monsters that appeared this time were all huge monsters. There was no mixed variety like last time. This time there were only One kind, but the momentum brought by these dozens of monsters far exceeded the thousands of monsters that attacked the city before.
Wuyou was very familiar with the small black dots that were approaching in the distance. When he was about a thousand meters away, Wuyou could already see their appearance clearly. Isn't this the bear of the earth that he had fought fiercely before?
Looking at the long row of Earth Bears rushing toward the city in the distance, gasps could be heard all around.
"It's... it's... it's a group of earth bears! Oh my god, it's actually a group of earth bears!!!" A magician shouted in panic.
This shout woke up everyone who was still in shock.
"Quickly gather all the mercenaries in the city and bring all the magicians to the city wall!" The commander of the city defense army hurriedly gave an order to a soldier beside him.
After receiving the order, the soldiers hurriedly ran down the city wall towards the mercenary gathering place not far away.
