My players are so fierce

Chapter 1344 1342. Ah, Glorious Death - Monthly Ticket Plus [1010]

When the first ray of sunlight fell from beyond the torn night, the entire Banks City seemed like a world away.

The incomplete streets filled with the atmosphere of war were filled with civilians kneeling and crying. They felt the touch of the sun on their bodies, recalled the despair of the past three days, and let tears of dissatisfaction drip from the corners of their eyes.

Although the light was lost for only three days, for all the people who survived in East Prussia, they were survivors who crawled out of hell in the true sense.

They also have enough reasons to praise today's sun. Although the huge steel battleship suspended in the sky is unsettling, compared to the endless night with no end in sight, whatever happens next is a blessing from fate.

The same goes for the soldiers of the Pioneer Legion.

Many of them can fight those crazy monsters in the dark without fear. However, when the sun shines again and declares the end of the nightmare, these strong warriors are as embarrassed as the kobolds who have their toes stepped on. He disarmed his weapon and let out a weak cry while covering his eyes.

They also have plenty of reasons to grieve.

In the past three days of fighting, everyone has lost something, which is enough to affect the rest of their lives.

Just outside Banks City, on the edge of the previously shrouded radiant artifact, Loren panted with his battle ax and watched the remaining darkness in front of him being ruthlessly torn apart by the light falling from the sky. The aliens hiding in the darkness The monster fled in terror, only to be enveloped by the shadowy light, then screamed and fell to his knees, and was chopped into pieces by the soldiers who rushed forward.

Even the most ferocious creatures of Chaos will be afraid of the sunlight, which is harmless to them, because it means that the time when Chaos is raging is over, and order has regained the land where they can roam freely.

But before Marshal Loren could take a breath, a black halberd pierced through him like a sharp arrow and stabbed precisely at his feet.

Looking in the direction from which the halberd flew, the half-dwarf marshal saw Count Sicomal riding on the eight-legged Night Dire.

The latter raised a finger at him and said:

"I'll give you one day to settle your affairs! At midnight today, it's time for you to go to the gallows. You can gather your army and find all the helpers you can find. It's up to you. It's just a matter of preparing a few more coffins.

Cherish your last moments, recruit Loren. "

After saying that, the powerful Earl of Hades turned around and disappeared on the battlefield outside Banks City under the escort of several great corpse witches. The undead also followed their leader and left this place where the living gathered. There are also the soldiers of the pioneering legion who were resurrected during the battle.

They were called and they had no power to refuse.

As the dwarf marshal watched silently, an undead warrior who had lost his left arm staggered up to him.

He was wearing the military uniform of the Pioneer Legion but without any military insignia or medals. The marshal recognized that this was the officer who had been deprived of his honor before, which made Loren feel mixed emotions at this time.

This young man was not a coward, he fought to the end and gave his all for the city.

Compared with him, I am more like a coward.

"marshal."

The undead officer said in a hoarse and ominous voice:

"The warriors are waiting for your leadership. No matter whether we are alive or dead, we will always follow you! But if you do not want to die, then run away, stay away from the battlefield and territory of the Xiko Hades Army, and hide in your Stay home and pray death doesn't find you.

We don't blame you. "

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Loren took out his dwarf pipe and sat next to the corpse of the giant ratman who was chopped to death. He blew out a smoke ring and looked up at the undead officer and said:

"Come pick me up at midnight today. Remember to prepare weapons, protective gear and mounts for me. I want military insignia and supplies that match my identity, an independent office and independent command of the punishment battalion.

Pass my request to the Hades Army! "

"Yes! Marshal."

The officer performed a military salute with one arm, then turned and walked into the ranks of the dead.

They lined up to withdraw from the battlefield, but there were still some living warriors struggling with their dead companions. Many rough men were unwilling to just let their brothers who lived and died together leave. However, death is a ruthless line that separates them. The two worlds have been separated so that they can no longer maintain the past with each other.

Of course, death is generous enough that one day they can meet again in another world.

"Loren, do you want to go back to Silver Castle?"

The earth priest who participated in the battle ran over and said to Loren, who was smoking a pipe dullly:

"This is your last chance! I beg you, think carefully about my proposal! Although it is shameful to avoid this thing, it is really useful. Don't you want to see your child born with your own eyes?"

"Just because of this, I should give up my perseverance and change from a glorious soldier to a weakling protected by my wife. From now on, I can only stay in that city I never like until death finally comes to my door?"

Loren blew out a smoke ring and said:

"No, I refuse! But you should report to your wife when you are about to die, so I ask you to go to Silver Castle and bring my wife to Banks City. I hope she can stay with me until the end."

"Zhao! You cold-blooded bastard."

The earth priest who had watched Loren grow up couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Loren on the face, causing the marshal's pipe to fly out.

But Loren didn't resist.

He just silently picked up the pipe, causing the earth priest in front of him to stamp his feet in annoyance, but he still used earth magic to quickly leave the battlefield.

What happened here is not known to most people. There are many problems in Banks City. The nearly one million refugees in the city alone is a big problem that must be properly handled. This kind of thing cannot be solved by relying on the army. Come.

But the good news is that before the Curtain of Eternal Night dissipates, Earl Lyon has already rushed to Banks City with the people of the Holy Light.

That Earl is a true administrator, and he always has a way to deal with it all.

After Loren returned to the city's headquarters and wrote several letters, the guards came to report that General Thoros had arrived in Banks City on a hawk. This made Loren immediately get up and go to greet his most trusted adjutant.

Then, he saw Soros on crutches appearing in front of him.

General Soros seemed to have aged dozens of years in three days. His right leg had completely disappeared. From this injury alone, it can be judged that the general who led the army from the south to support Banks City was not derelict in his duty. .

They also fought very fierce battles during the march, leaving even the top commander seriously injured.

But what is very darkly humorous is that Colonel Ron, who will be accompanying General Soros, is also missing a leg.

He lost his left leg in the black disaster, and now his father has lost his right leg. Well, the father and son can just make a good pair of legs together.

"Marshal! Sorry, I"

When he saw Loren, General Soros, who had been cold-faced all the way, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his head and said in shame:

"I was not able to bring my soldiers to Banks City for support as planned. I also heard from General Maxim about the agreement you reached with the Xiko Hades Army. I'm sorry, if I could arrive in time, you wouldn't have to Hitch yourself.

It's all my fault!

It was me who let you down. "

"What does this have to do with you? Old man."

Colonel Ron, who was wearing a combat leather jacket next to him, couldn't help but retorted:

"You brought 16,000 people from Dorode Fortress, but after two battles, less than 9,000 people were left. If General Maxim hadn't led us to rescue you, you and your The soldiers were about to be wiped out in the town of Barclay.

The training received by mortal warriors is not at all to fight against the evil creatures of Chaos!

This is simply not a problem that can be solved by a firm will. If you really had to break through and come to Banks City, the result would be nothing more than thousands more tombs on this land.

I know you have to be strong in your life.

But here’s the thing, it’s not your fault, so don’t take it on yourself! "

"Shut up! You traitor."

General Soros was a little angry at being snatched away by his youngest son. He waved his cane and was about to hit him, but Loren stopped him. The marshal did not care about General Soros's march failure. On the contrary, he said to Soros with a serious expression:

"I'm going to die tonight, Soros.

This is my choice, but I must ask you to continue to lead the Pioneer Legion after my death. This is something we have agreed on before.

We were busy fighting before and overlooked some details, but now if we think back carefully, it is not difficult to find that Earl Lyon's series of actions have a very terrible plot! The pioneering army must stay in East Prussia and defend this territory for the king!

You must gather the remaining warriors and return to the pioneer fortress, Thoros.

Hold on there, no matter what Earl Lyon plans to do, you must hold on until the end."

"It's too late, you two."

Colonel Ron snorted and said:

"The establishment of the Grand Duchy of Capet is already a certainty. No matter how good your arrangements are, as long as the 'Shadow Chaser' above your head is still cruising here, no one can stop the Capet family from breaking up the land and sealing the territory.

Even Fraser himself has given up on stopping his father, and it is not just the Cape family who are working behind this. If you want to say that Transia is not involved, no one with a right mind will believe it. There is one more person in the Old Continent. The country is a foregone conclusion.

The best plan now is for my father to lead the pioneering army to evacuate East Prussia, lest Earl Lyon turn his back and deny anyone.

This is also the advice I received from Fraser, who advised you to evacuate to Anjou immediately. "

"Well, that's the problem, Ron."

Loren whispered:

"The Pioneer Legion cannot leave East Prussia, because the soul contract set by Hades affects not only me, but all members of the Pioneer Legion have been affected by that contract. When death comes, we will start from the Pioneer Legion. The warriors were transformed into recruits for the army of Xiko Hades.

No one is immune.

Soros does it, and so does you, Ron!

Even Frasier, we were all involved in that Xiko war, and that was the curse and response of the undead. "

"I don't think this is a curse, it's just the ending we deserve."

Ron is completely looking away now.

In front of his father, he took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave himself one, then put his hands on his hips and said:

“Fight in life and serve in death!

This is by no means punishment or torture, it just gives us a reason and qualification to participate in a larger war.

The moment I quit the army, I had already decided how I wanted to plan for the rest of my life. What satisfies me most is that I have been walking on the path I planned. I am a member of the order camp, two people.

I feel honored by what I am doing now, which is enough to offset the guilt I felt in the past.

Now I know that after I die in a certain battle, I can come back again in the body of the dead. To borrow the crazy words of those foreigners, what kind of punishment is this?

This is obviously a benefit. "

Having said this, Ron blew out a smoke ring and said to his father:

"So I think you don't have to think about serving the king after taking over as marshal. Wouldn't it be nice to join Lord Murphy and fight for order?"

"Shut up! You traitor."

General Soros scolded him. He looked at the marshal in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"Whether it's a curse or a contract, please don't worry, Marshal! I will lead our soldiers to guard the pioneer fortress until the last one dies of old age. I regard it as an honor to serve, and I wish you a good journey! "

"Well, I can rest assured if I leave it to you."

Loren let out a sigh of relief. He turned to look behind him. Several earth priests came out of the ground. Then the dwarf princess of Silver Castle also emerged from the transfer of the Mother Goddess with a big belly. She saw her husband and immediately Running over with tears in his eyes, Loren threw away his pipe and went to meet him.

Sister!

You don't even know what your situation is before you run so fast! Although dwarves have special physiques, they are not fearless.

"Sorry, Soros."

Loren supported his wife, turned around and said to his adjutant:

"I'd love to talk to you again, but please allow me to be selfish at this last moment. I want to give the remaining time to my family."

"Um."

Soros nodded, turned around and left.

When walking out of the headquarters, the old general looked at the devastated Banks City and sighed. Then he looked at his heartless young son beside him. After a few seconds of silence, he said:

"That leg of yours."

"Ha, I knew you wouldn't be able to bear having to live on crutches for the rest of your life."

Ron grinned, took it out of his pocket, took out a stacked card and handed it to his father, saying:

"Take it to the Scarlet Fort First People's Hospital and find Dr. Martha in the prosthetics department. That's my new girlfriend. She will help you choose the prosthesis that suits you best, but don't pretend to be in the hospital! Prosthetics are legal, and although they are reliable, they cannot be modified.

My suggestion is that after little Martha gives you the diagnostic information, go to the Under Armor Hills to find those crazy priests of the Mechanicus. I also have a way to get you an illegally modified prosthetic body for a rowing boat.

I heard that those guys have started to load the prosthetic body with ignited gold missiles.

If they pay the starting price, they can even get the monomolecular wheel blade and the improved mantis knife produced by the Songhai Empire. They are real battlefield weapons and are definitely suitable for veteran guns like you. "

"this"

General Soros looked at the card in his hand, and then at his beaming son.

He didn't say whether it was good or bad.

This old soldier who had been stereotyped all his life just let out a dissatisfied hum, then put away the card and left here under the escort of the guards.

His warriors were still waiting for him in Barclay Town.

He couldn't leave his soldiers behind.

As for the soul contract that the marshal mentioned, that is indeed a problem.

But for General Soros, who had just escaped death, he didn't want to think about this.

Tonight he would set aside time to mourn the passing of an old friend and comrade-in-arms. Although he did not die as a soldier, in General Soros's heart, Marshal Loren would always be the best soldier and commander.

He was a role model for Plantagenet soldiers.

Of course, don't imitate him in using plague weapons. The sins caused by using them once are enough to alert the world.

——

Banks City was still busy when midnight arrived, but this did not affect Loren.

He had already changed into a set of decent clothes, took off his military badges and medals, put on his marshal's battle ax, and then put on his military boots. Before leaving, he handed a few letters to his wife and warned her to be delivered to the recipient.

Then under his wife's tearful gaze, Loren opened the door with his pipe in his mouth.

Outside the door, Afeng, who came on behalf of the Hades Army, had a serious and indifferent expression. He made a "please" gesture while holding the soul-capturing war scythe.

Farther away in the cleared city wall area, a black gallows had been erected under the moon. Count Sicomaire personally served as the executioner. There was also a vampire-style coffin beside it, which was paid for by Murphy himself. A final "gift" for Loren.

"You will see each other again, ma'am."

Seeing that the dwarf princess wanted to make a last resort, Afeng said softly:

"Death is not farewell. One day, on the battlefield of order against chaos, you will still be able to fight side by side as comrades, so keep your sad tears and wish your husband the best as he embarks on the battlefield of another world."

"Stop crying. You make me want to cry too. This is so disrespectful."

Loren turned around, waved goodbye to his wife, and said:

"When the child is born, tell him my story, both the good and the bad! Let the child know that his father is not a cold-blooded bastard, but he is not an upright hero either. Don't let him spend his time with me. I also had an angry childhood, don't let him resent the world.

We will meet again, my love.

I will protect you until I am completely dead!

Oh, glory, it was long dead, but death brought it back. "
