Conquest

    Chapter 427 [Decision]

    "Quiet waiting…Just waiting…"

    The old duke turned and stared back at the distance. His low voice didn’t know whether he was talking to the girl or talking to himself. After a while, he didn’t turn around, just behind his back. Young people, Shen Sheng said: "Do you really want to wait here, do nothing?"

    "I have done all the things that the teacher has said, and I have done enough, and I have done more."The girl's voice is smiling. At this moment, her smile, such a calm and calm smile, seems to be somewhat cruel and cold, just listening to her slowly: "The teacher once told me a word."

    "What?"

    “The teacher said: In this world, everyone has their own role. Everyone has their own part. Do your part, do what you should, don’t do less, but don’t do more. ,that's it."The girl shrugged her shoulders, and the corner of her mouth pulled out a little arc: "I am just a weak woman, my shoulders can't be shackled, my hands can't be mentioned, and now the city is in chaos. What else can I do?" You can only be careful to hide in your house, and steal the life, waiting for all this. ”

    The duke smiled and whispered: "Don't do less, don't do more, just do your part…Hey, that guy, I always like to talk about these sloppy nonsense, which is annoying – the most annoying thing is that these words are justified. ”

    He raised his hand and said, "Well, you stay in my house. I promise that even if the city is turned over, the rebels will never come to my house to harass." In my life, my old man always has some accumulations. Those little guys, even if they are bold, it’s not good to be in front of me. ”

    The girl nodded. She touched her face gently. Then she sighed: "This cold wind, the face is all wooden, Lord Duke, I will go to rest."

    She turned and left, Sylvia was on the side, and looked at the Duke deeply. It seemed that she wanted to say something. The old duke glanced at Sylvia and finally said, "If what really happened…I try to keep Adrick's life as it is, just the guy's temper, you should know better than me, I am afraid that the real country will be lost, and he will not live. ”

    Sylvia bit his teeth: "Who cares about his life and death."

    It’s just that, though, in the purple eyes, there is still a glance of gratitude, and then she turns around and walks into the room with the girl.

    FATHER

    At this time, Rhody finally spoke up. His face was eager to try. He looked at the old duke and clenched his fists: "Do we really do nothing?! The family is benefited by the country, and it is…"

    ‘Enough!The duke shook his head, his voice was a little tired, turned and looked at his son, his face was majestic, but his eyes showed a kind of love, whispered: "The truth, my old man is clearer than you." Dedicated to the country, the Day of the Dead…These things are not told by the mouth. It is really the moment that my old man knows what to do, but now, you give me the honesty at home, I don't want to order you to tie it up in the cellar. ”

    But

    The old duke finally turned and took two steps. His eyes pressed Rhody, and he slowly said: "I have to do something, you don't understand!" I don't expect you to understand now! I only tell you that at this time, compared to going to the rebels, my old man has more important things to do! I continue to live, far more desperate than killing, killing a few rebels is more valuable! ”

    The harbour area has been completely occupied by the rebels.

    The Atlantean fleet, and the Royal Fleet of the Byzantine empire that was originally stationed at the harbour, had left the port urgently on the day of the city's break.

    There were some naval soldiers in the port area, and some did not have time to leave with the fleet, and the resistance was at the last moment.

    When the rebels captured the port area, they were resisted, especially those in the port. The towers were originally used against the enemy at sea. The remaining defenders were tightened in the pier’s arrow tower. The rebels had to One by one, the divisions knocked out these towers.

    The warehouse of the wharf also piled up a large amount of supplies, many of which were delivered by Atlantean through the logistic line at sea, and after receiving such a large quantity of supplies, the rebels even sparked a small battle, and several rebels nearly fought for the attribution of the materiel, In the end, Hughes came in person to come forward elastic pressure and finally stopped the infighting.

    After capturing most of Osgiliath's urban areas, the insurgents' generals, officers, soldiers, and almost everyone made a small fortune and searched for enough benefits. The pockets of these rebels were filled with money looted, and they no longer wanted to continue to fight hard. The army has lost its war, and almost everyone thinks about how to make a fortune, how to enjoy the wealth of the search.

    The Imperial Palace's offense still hasn't made much progress, and it is currently not even the first door to the Imperial Palace castle.

    Hughes and El Salvador used to go to Hagia Sophia to seek the leaders of the church, but unfortunately, the church still showed enough cunning and the essence of the wall, and the rebels did not get any promise from the church.

    Hughes understood that unless the person himself had cut the emperor's head, the Byzantine empire was completely dead, and the church would show its position. Before that, those damn gods can be left out.

    But instead of being able to make a persecution gesture to the church – even during the war, Emperor Imperial Capital did not dare to force the church. Because everyone knows that this church has the most terrifying power on the continent: Mage!

    No one will go to provoke the church, the church that angers, and once the church declares Mage to fight, no one can afford it.

    Hughes only tentatively put forward his own request: I hope to publish a notice in the name of the Pope, announcing the demolition of the emperor of the Byzantine emperor and announcing that the emperor’s identity is illegal. But after this request was rejected, he had to give up his efforts, and even had to order a part of the people to maintain order around the church, to prevent those in the city from robbing the red eyes of the chaos to harass the church.

    At this time, no one wants to offend the church.

    On the other hand, it was impossible to effectively command the rebels to participate in the attack on the Imperial Palace, and Hughes had to retreat to the next level. He can only do his utmost to ask the rebels to split as much as possible to consolidate the garrison in the harbor area.

    After occupying the harbor area, after paying a certain price, the remaining defenders were eliminated. The rebels immediately occupied an arrow tower along the coast, and stationed the soldiers according to the requirements of Hughes, and carried a large number of them from the dockware. Instruments such as bows are added to these fortifications along the coast. To this end, Hughes had to make some concessions. He gave up the quota of the large amount of materials for the harbor terminal warehouse, and met the greed of other rebels. In exchange, the defense of the harbor area finally made Hughes slightly. Rest assured.

    After realizing that he might have made a big mistake and lost the opportunity, Hughes immediately realized his situation: If you can't get the Imperial Palace as soon as possible and set the big picture, then Atlantean will definitely fight back from the sea. Atlantean needs to gain benefits, so they will definitely send reinforcements, which is almost certain!

    In any case, you must complete the attack on the Imperial Palace before the Atlantean landing! As long as his own blade cuts the head of the emperor, the situation is completely settled! Those Atlantean had to give up the battle, and they could sit down and talk to Atlantean about the conditions of retreating.

    Just as time went to the fourth day of the broken city, Hughes finally waited for news from the sea.

    The fourth day of the broken city…The Arc de Triomphe is still in the bloody battle. This time is a day longer than Adrick’s three days promised when he boosted morale.

    However, the soldiers of the Arc de Triomphe are still in the bloody battle, the tight guardian of the camp, the walls on both sides of the city gate, but also against the rebel forces fluttering on both sides and resisting.

    The army responsible for attacking the Arc de Triomphe is still the army of El Salvador. El Salvador is very clear about his situation. He did not save his strength like other rebels. After four days of bloody battle, both sides have already struggled to exhaustion. El Salvador even sent his own guards to the Arc de Triomphe once and for all.

    Adek dragged the wounded body and killed himself to boost morale. He fights again and again, and countless times use shouts to boost morale. Although the time has passed three days, his morale has not fallen. In particular, using a counterattack, the rebels hit a street, and the rebel leader El Salvador was so far in the front because of his personal presence, and the team that was almost counterattacked was killed in the chaos. The morale of the defenders.

    The Arc de Triomphe is still firmly in the hands of the defenders. El Salvador has really tried his best. He can't imagine why, after the whole city has fallen, why such a small defender can have such a strong resistance.

    The streets are full of dead bodies. The bloody battles in the past few days have no chance to breathe. The bodies can only stay on the battlefield of the streets. The rebels and the defenders are all together. There are still some places. The traces of the burning of the fire are still clear.

    The rebels tried to use the fire attack, but the result was a heavy snow at night that made the plan a failure.

    The arrival of a heavy snow made Adren's people get some breathing space, at least the rebel's fire attack plan failed. And the heavy snow made the defenders who had been out of the water for two days, and finally got some drinking water.

    The soldiers took the time to use the concentrated ice and snow, boiled in a large pot, and then carefully put this limited water into the hands of each soldier.

    "Go ahead!! We have stuck to the present! From now on, every time, Atlantean may be killed from the sea! We are almost waiting for the dawn! ! For the empire! 1

    Adric raised his knife and chanted, so that he had not known how many times he had said it these days, but now, no matter how hard he tried, his voice could not be as full as it had been the other day, and his breath was a little faint. He received a knife in his chest during the fierce battle yesterday, though most of his strength was blocked by his armor But the opponent who cut him a knife was a rebel general, Battle Ki's power still caused damage to his body, Adric suspected that his chest ribs may have broken, but he can only force push, he is now the only sustenance of the whole army, he must not show a half of the decadence!

    Maybe the next moment, Atlantean will come.

    Almost everyone is turning this thought in their hearts, although some people have begun to doubt and start to shake, but at this moment, they have no choice but to believe this idea!

    On the fourth day, the defender of the Arc de Triomphe, inspired by General Adrick, repulsed the rebel army's eleven charges, and when the battle came to the sunset, the rebels finally retired for a moment.

    In the military camp, there are no people who can stand. The rebels have just retired. Almost everyone is sitting directly on the ground. Whether it is General or a soldier, they are wheezing, only the doctors who are coming up, nervous. The wounded soldiers rushed back and forth with a scream of sorrow, and seized a rare time to rescue the wounded.

    Four days of fierce fighting, there were nearly eight thousand defenders, and the rest was less than three thousand. Adek knew clearly that with the power left in his hand, it is absolutely impossible to stick to the sunset of tomorrow.

    MaybeToday, it’s these people, the last time I saw the sunset in my life.

    Less than three thousand defenders, everyone is wounded, everyone is exhausted, most people have not closed their eyes for three days, fatigue, wounded soldiers, hunger and thirst, and fear of death, are tormenting them Will.

    Some soldiers, already tired of vomiting blood, bow and arrow hands can no longer pull the bow, and some bow and arrow hands, the fingers have been cut by the bowstrings, and some even can not lift their arms.

    The last sunset…Maybe.

    When the sun fell, including Adek, everyone couldn't help but look at the west, watching the sun promise to fall, the afterglow of the sun disappeared little by little at the end of the sky…

    "Lord."

    An officer limped to Adek's side. The armor on his body could not recognize the original color. The shoulders were cut open and the flesh and blood were blurred. There were only three fingers left in one hand and wrapped in gauze. Into a group.

    The officer stood by Adrick and then bent down deeply: "It is my greatest glory to fight with you!"

    With the first one, an officer came together and gathered at Adrick's side. Everyone saluted Adric and then silently looked at their Commander-in-Chief.

    Adek took a deep breath. At this time, he found that he could no longer say anything that boosted morale. At this moment, everyone knows that they have already reached the point where they are running out of water. At this time, it would be ridiculous to say that the generous words that boost morale are.

    请指定两种不同的语言

    The General also solemnly returned a ceremony, then Adrick took a deep breath: "I have nothing else…I am proud of you, everyone! You are the real solider of the empire, a hero! I can't make other promises to you, I can only say…I will fight with you…At the last moment, I will die with you! ”

    No one spoke. Everyone looked at Adrick quietly. Everyone’s eyes couldn’t see a slight shake.

    Adric was in tears, then he took a deep breath: "Blowing! Blow the victory triumph! Let Imperial Palace hear us! Let them know that we are still fighting! We will continue to fight! ”

    The trumpeter soldiers were already exhausted, but at the moment, under the orders of Adek, several officers came out of the crowd, took the horn, stood in a row, and blew the horn!

    The majestic empire of the triumphant triumph of the empire rang, and in this sunset, with the last glimmer of the setting sun, echoing in this ancient city, the generous tone, at this time, seems to carry a kind of Unspeakable tragic description in words!

    The horn sounded over and over again until the afterglow of the sun finally disappeared completely!

    "Ready."Adric gritted his teeth and said: "They will definitely stay up all night." Everyone! This may be our last battle! EVERYTHINGFor the empire! ”

    "For the empire!"All the officers were straight.

    Just after the last tune of the Triumph finally fell, the horn stopped and the echo disappeared…

    Suddenly, in the distance, accompanied by the wind, a slight movement came, and Adrik suddenly trembled in the corners of his eyes!

    He suddenly jumped on a pile of boxes and looked nervously toward the south.

    With the sound of the wind, the distant voice, intermittently coming, is not clear, but it falls in Adek’s ear, but it seems like a thunder at the moment! !

    No.No….Is the number…"Adric muttered to himself, his voice trembled, and suddenly his eyes flashed in his eyes, shouting loudly: "It is the squad of Atlantean!" It is Atlantean! ! ! Military number! ! ”

    The sound was weak, but soon, the banging sound came from the south, as if it were boring, and it was accompanied by the wind.

    In the distance, in the south, in the direction of the harbour…

    I saw the light of one by one rising into the sky, rushing into the air, flying fast and splattering!

    "It's a signal at sea! It is a signal at sea! Signal fireworks from the Atlantean battleship! ! ”

    Adrik suddenly swayed, only to feel the strength of the whole body. At this moment, he was taken away. He widened his eyes and looked at the sky in the south. When the night had come, the signal of fireworks was in the sky. It is so clear!

    Coming FinallyComing

    Under the night, the earth is still silver.

    The intensive hoofs are already exhausting and somewhat confusing.

    When the horse team passed the wind and rushed into the city gate, Shaar finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had smashed his strength all the way, and finally dispersed at this moment.

    When rushing into the city, Shaar almost turned over and fell in the welcoming cavalry. When several of the Denval City cavalry came up to pick him up, Shaar was already cold – all the way to the wind and snow, let Shaar It is no longer possible to continue.

    His body was already numb, and he was almost smashed into the garrison by soldiers.

    Although it was night, when Shaar came back, when he entered the city, the news came, so that all the officers and officers in Denzel City were urgently gathered in the garrison.

    Shaar didn't have a rest. He didn't even have time to change his clothes. He didn't drink a sip of water, and he was immediately carried into the conference hall of the garrison.

    Old Mad Dog Green Below, almost this small group of Shaar, all the senior generals gathered here. Looking at Shaar's back, everyone was a little surprised, some accidents, the old Green is even more complex.

    "I have nothing else to explain."Shaar's lips were blue, and he refused a guard who was going to lay him a blanket. He walked to the front and stood at the desk of the coach and looked at everyone: "Now, everyone, listen to my orders!"

    The following commotion, we did not expect that the coach who left for many days suddenly came back, immediately ordered what order, and his tone and expression, it is unprecedented and serious.

    "All the troops, enter the emergency preparations!"Although Shaar's voice is hoarse, although tired, but the tone is absolutely!

    "The first Army, immediately enter the war preparations, I only give you two days, the ordnance is distributed to the hands of every soldier! Insufficient to get to the milk supplies at Kato! I know that there is not enough food reserves, from now on, into the war! All food is given priority to the army! I don't care if you use any method, within two days, get the food you can get! To at least be able to cope with the reserve of the 30-day war! 2nd Army, Denzel City leaves a Flag Battalion, Mesta City leaves a Flag Battalion, all others enter the preparation equipment, ready to go out as the second echelon! This order…Do not defy! ”

    A piece of glory!

    Green was immediately furious, and he seemed to be squinting and asking, but Shaar's eyes narrowed and Green saw Shaar's eyes in an unprecedented seriousness and solitude. He closed his mouth subconsciously, deep. Take a breath, put the anger under the pressure, Shen Sheng: "Where are we going in the direction?"

    "South! Manninger, Odin, Red Snow Army! ”Shaar looked coldly at the people below: "I know you have doubts in your heart! These questions are kept, first go to prepare for the battle, do what you should do! As for the explanation, you will get it! but not now! Remember your duty! Do what you need to do, don't do less, don't do more! ”
