Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 813: Recruits and veterans
Akiket knew that Yang Yu was not the kind of person who would talk big words casually, but he was still surprised when he heard Yang Yu report the manpower needed.
Looking at Yang Yu carefully, he couldn't see that Yang Yu was joking at all.
Akiket said: "Five people and two silver wolves, is this really enough manpower?"
Yang Yu nodded and confirmed:
"The two elves who protect me are not included. I want a magician who can control memory crystals. If one person can control multiple memory crystals, this number can be further reduced.
On the way, I have confirmed the number of memory crystals with General Dongmu.
Although the records in the memory crystal can be copied, it seems to be very time-consuming...
When there are more people taking action, it will be difficult to take care of them whatever happens.
So, five people are the most suitable. ”
Akiket pondered for a moment and said: "After such an attack, can this war really be ended quickly?"
“I can’t absolutely guarantee that.
But even if this war cannot be ended quickly, this war will definitely go in a direction that is beneficial to us.
The dragon does not limit personal growth, but hopes to cultivate a person who can completely turn the tide of the war.
However, it is extremely difficult for an individual to reverse the situation.
Since the Luoze Empire does not want to see the emergence of a person who can completely turn the tide of the war, then 'create' a person who can turn the tide of the war.
This battle.
What must be defeated is the will of their army. ”
Yang Yu's every word was sonorous and powerful, and the face under the mask revealed determination.
Seeing this, Akiket no longer questioned, and planned to fully support Yang Yu’s actions, and said:
"What can I do for you?"
"If our whereabouts are exposed, we will be in danger.
So, I hope that the main force will not stay too far away from us. After all, there are still many things to deal with later.
I need your strength to facilitate negotiations.
I hope you can save the soldiers of the Luoze Empire as much as possible after our attack, even if they are our enemies. ”
Aware of the heaviness in Yang Yu’s words, Akiket nodded heavily,
"I understand. Just go ahead and do it, I will cooperate with you.
Have you decided on your first goal?
It’s better for us to be prepared. ”
Yang Yu almost did not hesitate and replied:
"Our first goal is Benliang City."
......
......
December 16, 415 in the Luox calendar.
A thick layer of snow accumulated on the wall of Benliang City. Early in the morning, the soldiers guarding Benliang City, organized by their respective commanders, cleaned the wall to ensure that the artillery on the wall could operate normally.
Benliang Castle is a strategic location in the Serovo Gate Plain.
Even though the orcs are still far away from this city, the Luo Ze soldiers guarding Benliang City do not dare to be tired at all and are practicing seriously every day.
This year is a particularly important year.
Although I said the same thing last year, this year is particularly different.
This year, the officers guarding Benliang City kept a straight face most of the time. Even when they were resting, they remained unchanged and unsmiling.
The soldiers at the bottom didn't know what kind of instructions the top brass of the Luo Ze Empire had given their commanders, and they wouldn't ask.
All a soldier has to do is obey, obey, and obey.
However, even in such a serious army, there is still human warmth.
It's just that most people choose to bury this warmth deep in their hearts. Only when they make real friends will they open their hearts to each other.
A true friendship is established between a veteran and a new recruit.
Just an ordinary conversation brought them closer to each other.
After clearing the snow, the soldiers guarding Benliang City had a short but wonderful rest.
In order to be ready to face the enemy at all times, most of Luo Ze's soldiers ate where they were, with specialized personnel responsible for transporting and cleaning up.
After getting the ration and sitting on the gun carriage, the veteran ate all the food in just a few minutes, while the recruit ate it slowly and took more time than the veteran.
The veteran smiled and said: "I have fought more battles than you have eaten salt.
Not only was it a battle to defend the city, I also fought in other battles. At those times, I didn’t have so much time to eat.
When the fight starts, I don’t know how long it will take to end. If you eat quickly, you can take more bites into your mouth, and you will have the strength to kill more enemies.
You are far from being a real soldier now, and there are still a lot of things to learn. ”
After hearing this, the recruit couldn't help but speed up the action of picking up the rice in his hands, but he choked on the rice and couldn't stop coughing.
The veteran stepped down from the gun carriage and patted him on the back before he stopped coughing:
"Don't be so anxious, you will have plenty of time to adapt slowly in the future.
Obviously these things are what the instructors should teach you. If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, the empire would not let untrained recruits like you go into battle. ”
If a new soldier like you goes to the battlefield, he will most likely die, right?
The veteran did not say this sentence. He just scratched his head and sighed:
“The only one to blame is that **** man with colorful hair and mask. Soldiers who were captured in the past were always returned quickly.
But starting from the spring of this year, only officers will be exchanged. Otherwise, recruits like you wouldn’t be allowed to come to a place like this. ”
"If I can serve the country, I would be happy to come here early. I came here to stand out and impress my family," the recruit said.
"You are really young..."
"Senior, why did you come to participate in this war?"
The veteran looked at the clear sky after the snow, and replied melancholy: "It's not a particularly elegant reason.
You can earn more here.
My **** dad incurred a huge debt due to gambling, which implicated my wife and children.
You can earn more here, so I’m here. ”
In a few words, the recruit could sense the veteran's helplessness. Just as he was about to say a few words of relief, he heard the veteran say again:
"You don't have to comfort me. This is a battlefield.
No matter what mood a person comes here with...
Whether it is the feelings of serving the country and the people, the desire to make contributions, or any other reason, war will not look at those things.
War will only show you cruelty and ugliness all the time.
The only thing you can do if you want to survive is to keep fighting.
"
"Senior, I remember what you said. In order to survive, I will continue to fight."
After finishing the last bit of food on the plate, the recruit returned the plate to the support staff.
But before he could return to his post, the Luoze Empire's emergency assembly bell rang.
The recruit turned his head and saw two silver wolves carrying people appearing in their sights from a distance.
