After waking up

The failure of the tactic was expected. Under the current comparison of forces, the decapitation tactic was just a feasible attempt. It was a surprise if it succeeded, but there was nothing to blame if it failed.

When daybreak came, the offensive of the Ilhan Kingdom Army once again intensified, but no troops rushed into Shirkin City rashly. Instead, they increased the frequency of shelling and once again sent airships to drop leaflets.

Under multiple pressures, the fear in the hearts of many workers' rebels in Shirkin City has become stronger and stronger, and many people are already thinking about whether to surrender.

For this sign, not only Aiwen and other Dawn people can detect it, but even the Workers' Party can detect it. But in fact, even some Workers' Party are confused. After all, the Kingdom's army has surrounded them, and they seem to There is no chance of winning.

And under the current situation, even the Dawn members who arrived could not easily enter Hilkin City. Ivan asked them to stay on the outside to prepare for the response.

As time goes by, the Ilhan Kingdom's army has been surrounding but not attacking recently, or it can be said that it is only a small-scale peripheral test, and it has been using artillery bombardment continuously, which has caused huge psychological pressure on the people in Shirkin City.

It was already bitterly cold in Shirkin in May, with wind and snow falling at night.

Some rebel sentries on the outskirts were hunched in the dark, but they did not dare to warm themselves by the fire like the troops outside the city. In addition to snowflakes, some leaflets fell again from the sky.

Someone subconsciously grabbed a piece of paper on which General Ilhan conveyed the king's promise and attached an ultimatum.

Ivan also grabbed a flyer, and several members of Dawn around him were also reading it.

"Looks like it's time."

"Everyone, we have already worked hard, so there is no need to blame ourselves. If they are truly righteous, they will never be defeated easily."

"The dawn will last forever." "The dawn will last forever."

A Workers' Party commander was checking the ammunition in the warehouse with dark circles under his eyes. He had not rested for a long time. But at this time, some rebel troops from the periphery suddenly surrounded him.

Some rebels also noticed the signs and came to protect the officers.

"What are you going to do?"

"We can't win. We all want to live! Mr. Charisse, we all want to live."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to catch Mr. Charles and hand him over to those bastards from the Royal Army?"

"Do you think nobles can be trusted?"

"The factory needs people to work. They won't kill us. I'm sorry, Mr. Charles."

"stop!"

"Bang" "Bang"

The Workers' Party officer raised the muzzles of the guns of the several rebels who were protecting him, and the bullets hit the ceiling of the warehouse, but those who wanted to capture him did not move their guns.

"Catch me. You guys are right. We can't win this war, but I think your methods can't bring you what you want."

Officer Charles was arrested without causing any bloodshed, but in other places, there were many fights caused by internal strife between the rebels.

Many Workers' Party members were captured, and some even died directly under the gunfire of the rebels.

Commander Ilhan on the periphery heard the gunshots and commotion in the city, and he knew the time had come.

"Give me the order to launch a general attack."

"yes!"

The horn of the Ilhan Kingdom's army sounded, and the steam tanks began to advance. The Kingdom's army rushed towards Shirkin City in a dark mass, and the resistance at this moment was pitifully weak.

There were gunshots everywhere in Shirkin City. Ivan and others began to break out in the chaos with many workers' party and rebel forces.

Some people still want to stay and fight, which is allowed, but some people even want to keep Aiwen and order them to be taken with them by force or force.

Phoenix and Reno followed one behind the other, and the other members of Dawn and the rebel soldiers moved forward in coordination. Neither the royal army nor the rebels would show mercy to those who blocked the front, at least the members of Dawn would never show mercy.

"Bang bang bang"

"boom--"

A wall collapsed and a woman screamed.

"Ah - help -"

A Shuguang member shot the Wang Guojun who wanted to rape a woman with a "bang~" shot, and then pulled the woman up.

"Follow us."

Occasionally, some people will be added to the team in this way.

The Royal Army continued to rush into Shirkin City. Some rebels in the rebel army surrendered and begged for mercy, and escorted out the captured Workers' Party.

"We captured the Workers' Party, we surrendered, we needed to."

"Bang" "bang" "bang" "bang" "bang".

The surrendered rebels and the tied Workers' Party had bloody holes on their bodies. Many soldiers of the Royal Army did not care at all and shot at anyone they saw.

It wasn't until Royal Army officers scolded them later that many soldiers restrained themselves. However, killing people on sight was still common. The irony is that because catching workers' party members can receive rewards, those who were tied up were often shot alive. .

There are also some who see the situation is not right and then regret it after preparing to surrender, but there is no good result when they are divided everywhere.

The city has fallen into purgatory at this moment, with gunshots, screams, screams, cries and explosions all mixed together.

The team that broke through was only a few hundred people in total, but fortunately, a large amount of Dawn's power was concentrated.

A neat group of royal troops appeared in front of them. The breakout team took the lead in firing. Renault turned into lightning and rushed over. The sound of gunshots and screams filled the city.

"Boom~"

A wall collapsed, and two steam tanks rushed out, their muzzles already turned this way.

"Cannonball——"

"Bang" "Bang"

"Boom——" "Boom——"

The tank's shells exploded all around. Many soldiers were grazed by the shells and many were injured. Even Polly, an important figure in the Workers' Party, was hit by shrapnel in the rear and fell in a pool of blood.

At this moment, Alvin's eyes turned golden, and fire ignited from his body.

"Purify!"

Huh~

A halo-like ripple spread from Ivan's body, and wherever it passed, whether it was the people in the tank or the ordinary soldiers of the Kingdom's army charging, flames came out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, and they fell down screaming. .

"Go quickly——"

Ilhan, who has been looking for extraordinary people in the rebel army, immediately sensed Aiwen's magic power and saw the light in the distance.

"Over there!" "Covered by shells—"

"Seal that side——"

The moment Ivan used a lot of magic power, he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He directly ordered the Dawn members to carry some people with limited mobility on their backs. The team would not save other people and break through as quickly as possible.

Not long after the breakout team increased their speed, a large number of artillery shells fell not far behind them, and the coverage continued to extend. Explosions and fire accompanied them almost everywhere.

"Ah~ah~~"

"Ah~" "Ah~"

In the sky, all the crows that could be used now swooped down, rushed to various artillery positions, and launched suicide attacks regardless of casualties.

Gunshots and explosions continued to sound, and the crows' cries were mixed with various screams and screams in the city, like the cries of doomsday.

Two days later, Mulan and Charles finally arrived in the Shirkin area with the travel-worn Moore.

In a remote small ravine in the southern part of the Shirjin region, there are more than 300 survivors of the Shirjin Uprising. Most of them are young, both male and female, but all of them have gloomy faces and are hiding in the ravine. A shack was built and firewood was burned for warmth.

"Ah~ah~"

The crows of crows sounded high in the sky. Alvin, who was resting, stood up and walked from the ravine to the hill. He saw three people coming down the hill. They had climbed over the hill.

"Alvin!"

Ivan and Mulan hugged each other, and many Dawn members around him, including Renault, all bowed with heartfelt gestures.

"Lord Sage!"

Ivan looked at Moore and stretched out his hand.

"You must be Mr. Moore, you can call me Alvin."

"Hello, Mr. Ivan, I have heard about it. Thank you for everything you have done. Thank you!"

"You're welcome, I think they need you right now."

Moore nodded without saying anything, and walked with everyone to the temporary settlement of the survivors. He hurriedly and slowly failed to catch up, but he also knew that even if he caught up, the result might not change.

The footsteps of Moore and others coming over startled some people. They looked up subconsciously. Many people rubbed their eyes and stood up subconsciously when they saw Moore clearly. As workers' parties, they have all seen pictures of Moore, and even more Many of them were Moore's students.

"Teacher?" "Mr. Moore?"

"This isn't a dream, is it?"

"The teacher is here?" "Is Mr. Mo here? Where is he?"

"Over there!" "It's true!"

The numb crowd seemed to have regained some vitality, and people's voices became excited.

Moore nodded, with sparkling eyes, and shook hands with those who stood up one by one, so that everyone could see him.

Many workers' parties cried, and more and more tears were shed.

"Cry, cry, children—"

Moore's voice was rich, with obvious excitement in his voice.

"Cry, it's not your fault."

"Teacher, we failed completely" "Many people died"

"Mr. Polly is also dead."

Moore hugged one, patted another, and kissed his students' foreheads. Without saying anything, he just let them cry and release their suppressed emotions.

After everyone's cries gradually calmed down, Moore spoke again.

"We students, respectable workers, I know you are all sad, I know you are all confused, and I know you are all remorseful."

"But what you did was not wrong. You did it better than me. You have more courage than me. This step will be taken sooner or later, and you will definitely experience labor pains."

"How I want to arrive as soon as possible and how I want to fight side by side with you."

Moore clenched his fists as he spoke, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"The old aristocracy and the new capital will not treat us as human beings. In their eyes, we are just machines, another form of slaves. I have seen through this a long time ago, but I cannot be as brave as you! I am sorry for you !”

Tears streamed from Moore's eyes.

"The Shirkin uprising did fail, but it is not worthless. He is the Workers' Party and the embodiment of workers' courage. He represents the first shot against oppression, and you are all the fire of the uprising spirit!"

"The Shirkin Uprising did fail, but it was by no means worthless. It would make people see clearly, especially the millions of oppressed people, that the promises of the old aristocracy and the new capital had no credibility at all. ! It will make more and more people understand that struggle is not only valuable and meaningful, but also necessary!"

Moore's voice grew louder and more resonant.

"The Shirkin Uprising did fail, but it will not be the last uprising. It will be a beacon that will continue to pass on and burn the flame of resistance!"

Moore's voice seemed to have a powerful inspiring force, which not only made the lost survivors excited, but even Mulan and others noticed something unusual.

Moore himself had no idea that at this moment, he had already made up his mind.

"The Shirkin Uprising did fail, but when people see clearly the face of evil and the cruelty of oppression, the flames passed by the beacon will continue to spread."

Moore grabbed the hand of the student next to him with both hands.

"You are all warriors, brave warriors who dare to be the first to jump out and fight! Our struggle will never stop, and the setbacks in the process will never knock us down. Even if the body dies, the spirit will continue. We will continue to fight. Keep fighting."

Moore looked at everyone, as well as Mullan and others.

"They have armies and guns, and so will we! They have wizards and monsters, and we also have righteous friends! They want to hollow out our flesh and drain our blood! We will respond to them with hot fire, The powerful army that Shirkin faced was a symbol of their fear——"

"They, no, the enemy is afraid precisely because we are moving in the right direction!"

Moore looked around, and saw that the people's crying had completely stopped. He waved his fists, and his old body seemed to be carrying a passionate young man at this moment.

"My students, my workers and friends, women, my comrades! We must keep fighting, keep fighting, not be defeated, not be tempted, until victory——"

boom--

Moore's hand seemed to be lit with flames, and everyone around him could feel the heat. The invisible flames spread around, not lighting up the hills in the dark night, but igniting the heat in the hearts of the people around him.

The pupils of Mulan, Aiwen and others also dilated slightly, that was the magic fire!
