The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 32 The Value of Sacrifice!

() Hyde didn't want to be idle, so he also came over to help.The blond-haired young knight picked up a purified corpse and placed the warrior's corpse on the carriage. His eyes noticed the face of the corpse, and a little familiarity made the knight's heart fluctuate violently.

It was a round face with a youthful look, about 16 years old, wearing a wide-brimmed red hat, curly black hair protruding from under the hat, Hyde remembered that he was a crossbowman from the Highland Principality.When Hyde finished his speech and came down from the watchtower to call for volunteers to strike, this sturdy young man with a round face was one of the first to come to him and answer the call.

It was very noisy at the time, and people rushed over. After the general assembly, everyone hurriedly prepared the horse armor and set off. He only vaguely remembered that the boy's name seemed to be Hank.When he led the cavalry to attack the left flank of the chaotic beast, the young man should have been in the infantry line on the right flank. Hyde didn't know the details of his death, but he should have died in the counterattack of the chaotic centaur.

During that fierce battle, a chaotic centaur's javelin pierced through the boy's leather vest and pierced through his back, leaving a two-inch square wound, and took his life instantly. .There was still a look of unwillingness and surprise on his face, as if he didn't want to believe this was reality.The young man who was standing in front of Hyde two hours ago had turned into a cold corpse. In a sense, the death of this young man was also caused by Hyde, and 17 of his comrades died in battle like this. people.The joy of victory is by no means free. The lives of some comrades in arms are exchanged for the death of others.

Hyde looked at the young man's face silently. He remembered that when he put on his armor and was about to set off, Lala pressed against his ear and said softly to him, "You will return in triumph."He smiled confidently, answered the cute little sister, and then stepped on the horse. He was very confident at that time, full of the belief that he would win.Now that he has returned triumphantly, he can reunite with Lala happily, but it is impossible for the seventeen comrades in arms to return. They should also have relatives or lovers. I wonder what kind of sadness their relatives will have?Hyde frowned at the thought.

"Your Excellency Hyde, this is war, and this is the fate of soldiers. In a sense, it is also the best destination for soldiers to die on the battlefield. I know that your first battle must have some emotion, 44 years ago I am the same as you are today."

Old Loren came over and patted Hyde on the shoulder.

"In a sense, they also died because of me. The person who was talking to me a few hours ago has now become this cold corpse. I feel that life is fleeting. Is this war?"

Hyde was a little melancholy. For the first time, the price of war was coldly shown in front of the young knight, which made him question.

"But more comrades-in-arms have been saved, and the vicious enemy has been defeated by us. This is the value of their heroic sacrifice! Holy Sigma, may their heroic souls rest in peace in the high heavens."

Marshall also interjected, and the red-haired young man reverently crossed himself in the sky as a condolence.

"Justice requires a price to be realized, my Highness Hyde. If we do not pay this price, we will pay a higher price. Human beings live in this chaotic world, fighting countless vicious enemies and demons to survive, this empire It is already the most powerful country in the old world, but the borders have never been interrupted by chaos, dark elves, and green skins. In fact, the empire has been considered relatively safe for decades, but this security It was paid for by the sacrifices of countless warriors. A hundred years ago, hundreds of years ago, the storm of chaos besieged the White Wolf City Middenheim and the holy di du Altdorf several times, and even the vampire kingdom that has basically collapsed today, in Soldiers came to di du hundreds of years ago."

Old Loren described the history of the empire lightly. Holding the sword with both hands, he looked at the white clouds in the distance.His heavy voice echoed on the autumn grassland.

"But even di du Altdorf once fell. More than 200 years ago, when the maggot master of Chaos Nurgle, the tyrant Tamur Khan invaded the empire, most of the empire was reduced to ruins amidst the plague and poisonous smoke , Even the holy di du Altdorf has become a chaotic hunting ground, rotting heads are piled up in the streets, bones and human skins are made into banners and filled with ruins and houses, miasma and poisonous flies are like clouds covering the sun, blood and water It turned into thick juice and turned the Rick River into yellow. Wherever the devil's legion passed by, it was difficult for one in a hundred people to survive. Either it would be a sacrifice for suffering or it would become the food of the devil. That is the horror and horror of the chaotic storm. !"

The white-haired old man continued his voice, his face became serious, as if the hellish scene appeared here.

"But the maggot lord of Nurgle was also buried at last by the sword and magic of human warriors. The valiant half-griffin paladin, star of the empire, and invincible champion of the gods Theodore Bruckner , in the day of that great decisive battle, he raised his sword and entered the army of the Tamur Khan like splitting the rotten sea of ​​hell. The demons perish together! He saved the empire with his heroic life, and his lofty bronze statue still stands in the city of Altdorf. Tens of thousands of warriors died with him that day. They came from the south and north of the empire. From Tyrell and Bretonnia and even to the desolate border, they can never return to their hometown to meet their relatives, but it is they who use their lives to turn the chaotic army into ashes! Their sacrifices bring the peace of the motherland, Millions of human beings have been saved, that's what we are as soldiers, that's what it means to be a soldier, my brave Lord Hyde."

"My Grandpa Loren, thank you for telling me about the history of that year, I will remember these. Isn't our departure today just to prevent that disaster and catastrophe from happening again? I understand what you mean, I will Do it well."

Hyde solemnly gave a military salute to old Loren. His heart was shocked by this history. This is the consequence of the chaos storm invading the mainland of the empire. It was as tragic as hell. How could this catastrophe fall on the land of the motherland again? Woolen cloth?Soldiers die for the peace of the people of the motherland. This sacrifice is the value of soldiers!

"Yes, Your Excellency Hyde, the power of the chaotic storm is like a snowball rolling down from a snowy peak. Every time it passes, it will expand a circle. The projection of the evil god in the world will continue to grow due to suffering and catastrophe, and will eventually become An unstoppable hellstorm, which is why we're heading north to rescue the kingdom of Kislev."

Old Loren paused, and continued to explain all this to Hyde in a heavy voice.

"If Kislev falls, the power of Chaos will undoubtedly invade the borders of the Empire southwards. Behind us is not only the Empire, but also Tyrell and Bretonnia, as well as many other human kingdoms and kingdoms." The kingdom of the dwarves, our combined army in the north is the Great Wall that guards the frontiers of mankind. Because of this, in the face of this chaotic storm, the ten elector principalities have sent their warriors, thousands of miles away Tyrell and Bretonnia will also send out selected warriors. If the situation worsens, even dwarves or high elves will not stand idly by. Warriors from all countries will temporarily obey the banner and scepter of the Imperial Court on this battlefield Below. This war against the Chaos Storm decides the fate of millions."

The veteran soldiers of these 40 years of war career slowly explained the meaning of this war, which is by no means a lie.Five months ago, when it was learned that the White Tsar of the Kislev Kingdom had died in action and the Ugolan Valley, the terrible prospect of the chaotic storm had shocked the royal court. Destruction is something that has not happened in the past hundred years!Many nobles thought of the catastrophe of the Tamur Khan in horror, because the rise of the Tamur Khan has similarities.

After a brief meeting, the emperor and the cabinet immediately issued an order to summon the elites of all principalities. Within two or three months, a hundred thousand coalition troops were assembled and entered Kislev. Bretonnia and the Tyrell Federation also sent their own orders. In order to send thousands of elite warriors to the north, as for the dwarves and elves---there are a large number of them in the army of King Rick directly under the empire.Of course, the letter was also passed on to the Supreme King of the Ulthuan Elf Court and Karak Fortress, but it takes time to go back and forth over thousands of miles, and they each have their own enemies. In fact, the empire's The Great Marshal--Yan Sobieski Outlanders and his 13th Legion were originally following the order of the imperial court to join hands with the elves to fight fiercely with the dark elves in the northwest on the other side of the Sea of ​​Claws, because The journey was too long, so it took until now to reach Kislev.

This is the importance of this war, which affects the hearts of the entire Old Continent.And the young Hyde is now just a small drop of water in the empire's army, but now this small drop of water will write his chapter brilliantly in the parchment scroll on the future grand battlefield , Create his legend, until the moment when he climbed to the highest peak of that magnificent history and life.The first howl of the heroic lion has already been staged with the rout of the chaotic beast, but this is only the first page in the vast scroll of history, countless blood will flow out, countless lives will disappear, the hero's road is destined to be blood-stained But the fervent and benevolent heart of this lion has never been extinguished by the blood and yellow sand...
