alien army

Chapter 442
Seeing the Nalan army approaching, Liu Yun led a group of officers and strode towards the Arc de Triomphe.

"Boss, this expeditionary force does not seem to be worthy of its name!" Naron Duo frowned and looked at the cavalry team in the distance, and said to Liu Yun.

"Really?" Liu Yun responded softly, with a deep and complicated look in his eyes.

He still remembers how he felt when he led his troops to the front line and came back exhausted after bloody killings and brutal battles.Four words, life is worse than death.When stabbing a sharp dagger into an enemy's chest, when a hot bullet pierces the body of a comrade-in-arms, when he has to clear up some "obstacles" in order to complete the task smoothly, he can often feel a deep feeling Hate, endless hatred of war.

However, if there are human beings in this world, the war will never stop. This is determined by the inferiority of human beings.A country needs such a group of men to bear this kind of suffering.

"If you have personally experienced the battle they went through, you will understand why they did this!" Liu Yun sighed softly.

"I actually think that although they look extremely exhausted physically and mentally, as long as they return to the battlefield, they will become murderous demon kings without blinking an eye." Alexander looked at the soldiers in the distance and said in a deep voice.He suddenly felt that his suggestion was correct. This group of officers and soldiers who were slowly walking towards Priseli City deserved the highest honor and award.Because among them, those who died gave their lives, and those who survived paid more.

Several people beside them were also discussing in low voices.They looked at the Expeditionary Army with confusion and puzzlement in their eyes.This is by no means the aura that an army that has returned victorious from many battles should have.

"Array!" A vigorous and powerful shout broke through the air, attracting everyone's attention.

A young general who was walking in the front of the expeditionary army suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, shouting at the soldiers behind him.

This is an order with the power to penetrate the soul, and it is also an order that every expeditionary soldier is very familiar with.

The cavalry all paused, and everyone raised their heads and looked at their general.

All horses were silent, and the team stopped advancing.

In the silence, the surging murderous aura quietly rose from the tired bodies on the horseback.

In the eyes of the soldiers, a scorching light suddenly lit up, and their hands quietly rested on their weapons.

Liu Yun and the others were all battle-tested generals, and they soon felt the familiar killing atmosphere.The vast land outside the Arc de Triomphe instantly turned into a battlefield.

The battlefield awakened the confused soldiers.

The silence was broken in an instant.

The horses began to gallop.All kinds of weapons shone brightly in the sun.

The listless cavalry regrouped within a few breaths.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The thunderous shouts made the people outside the city and the Black Hawk soldiers excited.The soldiers on the expedition battlefield summoned the warriors to return with roars and murderous intent!
They are tired because they are far from the battlefield.As long as the general gives an order, they are still strong soldiers!

Nalan looked at his team with satisfaction and a smile appeared on his face.Then he rode his horse towards the Arc de Triomphe.

And Liu Yun and the others have already greeted them.

Nalan dismounted from his horse at a distance of tens of meters away from Liuyun, and ran towards Liuyun.

Stop, stand at attention, raise your hands, and salute.

"Commander, Nalan, the guard of the cold city, has been ordered to lead the army to arrive, please review!"

Liu Yun nodded emphatically, raised his hand in return, and strode towards Nalan.

"Thank you, General Nalan!" He smiled and stretched out his hand.

Nalan also stretched out his hand.

After experiencing many grievances and hatreds, the hands of the two men finally held each other tightly when peace came.

This handshake in front of Priseli City is of great significance to them.

With a tight grip, all the kindness and resentment, hatred and enmity melted into clouds and smoke in front of the city wall.

Priseli City is the place where Princess Naya once fought, and the people behind her are the people she guarded with her life.They believe that when the princess in the kingdom of heaven sees this scene, there will be a happy smile on her face.

Liuyun let go of Nalan's hand and walked towards the cavalry.

"Soldiers, put away your weapons, the war is over! On behalf of the empire, I welcome you home! Flowers, applause, and honor belong to you!" He raised his hand and gave a solemn military salute to the soldiers of the expeditionary force .

The soldiers crossed the Arc de Triomphe and walked towards the city of Priseli.What greeted them were flowers, applause, cheers and countless admiring gazes.This is a glorious road, and everyone who walks on this road is destined to be remembered by history forever.

There was a lot of gunfire.The members of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade paid the highest respect to their colleagues, and comforted those departed heroes in a way unique to the army.

"General Nalan, what are your plans when you return to China?" Liu Yun suddenly asked as he walked behind the team and looked at Nalan's haggard and lonely face.

War, for a general, is like a gorgeous feast.But when the banquet is over, it will make people feel lost.

"Nalan's wish has been fulfilled, and there is nothing more to worry about from now on." Nalan replied, with a touch of sentimentality in his tone.

Time, although scarred the surface of the wound, is still bleeding inside.After hearing the news of Naya's departure, the former Nalan also died.The fame and honor he pursued in the past was nothing more than the desire to get closer to her, and eventually became meaningless with her departure.

Liu Yun couldn't hide his heartache: "I once told you that her country needs you. Today, I still say the same!"

"Nalan feels that he has done his best, and I hope to rest. So, you don't have to persuade me, Commander!" Nalan shook his head.

"Let's discuss this matter later. You rest in Priseli City for a few days first. I think not only this country needs you, but this army also needs you!" Liu Yun looked at the man who was walking towards the city. The expeditionary soldier said slowly.

Nalan did not answer.He knew what Liuyun was referring to.An army that has experienced a fierce battle will often go astray after the war is over.A glorious battle history may become the driving force for an army to rise, but too many killings may also become an inducement for its decline.The soldiers of the expeditionary army can be said to be carrying a heavy burden, and the psychology of each soldier is somewhat distorted.At this time, as the coach of the soul of this army, it is particularly important for it.

"Me? I'm afraid I can't do it either. You know I can't avoid some things. After all, my hands are stained with the blood of my own people!" Nalan sighed, passed the crowd, and returned to the team of the expeditionary army.

"Boss, General Nalan seems a little worried, why didn't you tell him your plan?" Alexander asked, looking at Nalan's lonely background.

"When he made that choice back then, he had actually prepared for the worst. He didn't take these bad things to heart." Liu Yun sighed, "What I'm worried about now is how to make this star gradually change. The hardened and cold heart, burn again!"

"Boss, the war is over, why are you bothering?" Naron asked puzzled, "Besides, you have already done what you can for him, so we can only accept what he chooses." .”

"War will never end, and peace is only short-lived." Liu Yun sighed, "The Fire Cloud Empire needs iron-blooded soldiers like Nalan who have experienced the baptism of war. Only a general like him can bring out an army that can take the country An army whose will is fully manifested. I can't, and neither can you, because we can't be as ruthless as he is."

After listening to his words, Alexander and Naron fell into deep thought.A commander often determines the style of an army.The two of them were influenced by him to varying degrees during the process of following Liuyun, and the entire Black Hawk Legion was also influenced by his charisma.Officers and soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, loyal to the country and mission, but they cannot become a brutal and bloodthirsty army like the expeditionary army.At least, the Black Eagle Legion could not wield the butcher's knife in the face of unarmed captives.

But the battlefield is ruthless, and soldiers don't need too much emotion.Looking back, their leader really did a lot of impulsive things.If he hadn't been a lucky man, perhaps he would have left his life on the battlefield long ago, and the Black Hawk Legion would have fallen into a sad state with his departure.

However, from another point of view, if he is not a person who values ​​love and righteousness and has rich inner feelings, he will not be able to create many miracles and make people around him willing to work for him.

Undoubtedly, Alexander and Nalon hoped for a flesh-and-blood commander like Liu Yun more than Nalan of the Expeditionary Force.

"Furthermore, the empire has experienced successive years of wars, and the army has suffered greatly. There are still many things to do after the war. If people like Nalan are not retained, none of us will be able to relax." Liu Yun continued.

Alexander understood. "Yeah, this car has to be pulled by a horse, you old man wants to rest! Let me go with you, my woman, I have to spend time with her too!" He joked.

"I think it's time for me to rest!" Narendo also joined in the fun, "A few more Nalans are welcome, everyone is free!"

"You don't want to be lazy!" Liu Yun said, "I can't help it! This is a big victory, what a scene, I want to enjoy the flowers and applause! It's a pity that the environment is threatening. What do you think? Next, the Continental Peace Conference is about to be held. Is it okay for me to be caught in the middle? The Asman Empire has my student Lin Feng, the Sith Kingdom has my brother Iverson, the elves, the dragons, the dwarves, and more It helped me a lot. Even His Majesty Jacques, the new emperor of the orc, sold me a lot of favors through that girl Lin Shiting. Tell me, who will I speak for? Unless you have such a good reason as me, Otherwise, don't try to be lazy for me!"

Alexander couldn't refute him, but he was still a little unwilling: "Boss, the war is over, and the Black Hawk Legion also needs to rest, so you can give everyone a vacation!"

"Hmm! Hmm!" Narendo kept nodding.

"I know everyone is tired, but there are many things that you must do!" Liu Yunyu said earnestly.He knew in his heart that if he couldn't handle these two guys, he wouldn't be able to get away easily.

"The entire regiment needs to replenish and train soldiers; officers and soldiers need to arrange vacations to visit relatives; families of soldiers who died in battle need to be compensated; combat experience and lessons need to be summed up; and..." Liu Yun said while thinking.

"You don't plan to take care of these things anymore?" Alexander and Naron asked in unison.

"You guys have to figure it out, I'm the commander of the Allied Continental Army! I'm not the head of the Black Hawk Legion, nor the chief of staff. Why should I care?" Liu Yun laughed.

"..." Alexander and Nalon felt that their eyes were darkened, and they couldn't say anything.

A few days later, Liu Yun announced in Priseli City: Given that the Continental War had ended and the mission of the Continental Allied Forces had been completed, he voluntarily resigned from the post of Commander of the Continental Allied Forces.

Then, he hid in his mansion and enjoyed the happiness.Poor Alexander and Narondo called together all the senior officers of the Black Hawk Legion and began to deal with the many affairs left over after the war.They know that if these things are not done, someone will never let them have a safe life.

But Liu Yun's peaceful life did not last long, because Alexander suddenly found him and told him that Nalan had disappeared with a team of cavalry.

"Ridiculous!" Liu Yun became angry when he heard that, and pointed at Alexander's nose and cursed, "I deliberately transferred him and the expeditionary force back to Priseli City, just for fear of something unexpected happening to him! Now, so The big living person disappeared in front of you, what are you doing?"

His god-making movement has been carried out step by step, but the protagonist suddenly disappears strangely, which can't help but make him angry.

"Boss, you have resigned as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I am only the nominal commander of the Black Eagle Legion. I can control him? Besides, if he wants to lead people out of the city, the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city will not dare to stop him!" Alexander said aggrievedly .

These days, Priseli City has become a military city, and he is not allowed to set up a temporary military police team to maintain order.Since the return of the expeditionary army, officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army have clashed with the military police in various places every day, which made him very anxious.And now, the leader of the expeditionary army put him on the fire.He is full of anger and has no place to vent.

"No matter what method you think of, you must investigate his whereabouts for me immediately!" Liu Yun said angrily.

Nalan's whereabouts were quickly found out.

Liu Yun immediately left Priseli City with several captains and dozens of members of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade.

The night sinks like water.

The lights in the mourning hall were dim and filled with a desolate atmosphere.Two huge coffins were placed in the center of the room.On the table in front of the coffin, there were two spiritual tablets, and a group of people knelt in front of the coffin, sobbing softly.

Huniu had already fainted several times from crying, and now she was in Luo Te's arms, staring at the coffin with a pair of empty eyes in a daze.Tears flowed silently, falling silently to the ground.This innocent girl had been looking forward to the return of her sweetheart, but she never expected that when she came back, she also brought back her father's cold body.

Great joy and great sorrow completely knocked down this young girl.

"General, go and rest!" Another young man kneeling in front of the coffin suddenly said to the people around him, "Father and Uncle Jack know everything today, and their souls will rest in peace!"

Nalan shook his head, but did not speak.Under the dim light, his face was full of sadness and pain. "You two old men, I owe you. Nalan doesn't want you to forgive, but he wants to accompany you!" Looking at the name on the spirit tablet, he sighed in his heart.

When a generation of famous generals looks back on this war, what they really owe is these two old men.After the treason, the place where his soldiers went, although on the surface it seemed that people were devastated, but who knew that this was just an appearance?The villagers in those villages had already been sent away by him secretly.As for the battles with local troops from various places, that is true, but most of those troops withdrew quickly, and the casualties were not serious.Besides, it is normal for soldiers to sacrifice for the country.

Only the two old men were innocent, and he was forced by the situation to kill them.

What flows in their bodies is Huoyun Man's hot blood, so why isn't the blood flowing in Nalan's body like this?
Although Rott, Jack and Harry had forgiven him before the war ended, he still couldn't forgive himself, so he came here with the three.

Nalan didn't realize that it wasn't just these two old men who made him feel uneasy, but also those innocent lives who died tragically under the saber of the expedition.

What war brings to soldiers not only devours their lives and brings them serious physical injuries, but also ruthlessly cuts their souls and destroys their will.This kind of mental injury will not show serious consequences until after the war is over.Many people even live in the memory of the tragic death of the war all their lives, and more people spend the rest of their lives confessing the crimes they committed in the war-of course, when they were young, such crimes were often called military exploits .

The most effective way to save these people is to force them to continue on the road of military service until they become numb to war and become accustomed to various battlefield phenomena.This is another reason why Liu Yun insisted on keeping Nalan in the army.

The east is pale.

There was a low mourning sound outside the mourning hall.Hundreds of villagers gathered on an open field in the village, ready to see the two old people off.The kind-hearted villagers did not know what happened on the battlefield, nor did they know how the two old men died.They only knew that they had lost two close neighbors, and they made an appointment to see them off for the last time.

Huniu and Jack came out holding the spiritual tablet.Behind them, more than a dozen young people walked out slowly carrying two coffins.Behind the coffin are relatives who cried heart-rendingly.

Nalan walked in the front, carrying the coffin of the old man Kerman together with Harry.

He was fulfilling his promise to Harry, Jack, and Rott that day, sending the old man to rest in peace as a son.This was not a show, after the battle of the expedition, his three subordinates understood what he had to do that day, and gradually forgave him.

The funeral procession walked towards the entrance of the village, and sad music floated in the silent air, sad and melancholy.

Not far away, the music was interrupted by a rush of horseshoes.

In front of the funeral crowd, dozens of knights suddenly appeared.

The cavalry stopped tens of meters in front of the crowd, dismounted one after another, and strode over under the leadership of a handsome young man.

Dressed in battle armor, he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.The villagers who have seen the world know that this must be a high-ranking official of the imperial military, because the followers around him all carry shining generals on their shoulders, and the lowest rank is also a colonel.

The young man looked sad and solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the two coffins.

Nalan and the people around him stopped in their tracks, and they were all inexplicably shocked: the commander of the Continental Allied Forces and the Marquis of the Empire actually appeared here!
"General Nalan, I'm also here to see the two old people off!" Under the anxious eyes of the villagers, Liuyun walked up to Nalan and said loudly.

Nalan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.But he was very excited.

After Liu Yun finished speaking, he stood on the spot, stood at attention, raised his hand and gave a standard military salute to the two coffins: "Uncle Kerman, Uncle Jack, Liu Yun represents the Fire Cloud Empire and all soldiers of the Empire." , Salute to you!"

A burst of exclamation erupted from the funeral crowd, and countless unbelievable and confused eyes gathered on Liu Yun.

They cannot believe their eyes.Is this young man in front of him really the legendary Marquis Liuyun?If it is true, what earth-shattering thing did Kerman and old Jack do?
Liu Yun put down his hands, walked to Nalan, and said to a young man who was carrying Old Jack's coffin, "Go down and let me do it."

The young man immediately stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.

Liuyun Probe took the wooden stick from his shoulder, and then gently pushed him away.

"Master Commander!" Jack, who was in tears, suddenly sobbed and roared.

"Commander, no, we can't bear it!" He knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Rott and Harry also knelt down and looked at him with teary eyes.

"Get up! Boys have gold under their knees, you can kneel down to the world, kneel down to your parents, but don't kneel down to me!" Liu Yun glanced at the three of them, and said softly, "You can't afford it, the two uncles can afford it!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yun said loudly to the villagers who were seeing him off: "Folks, thank you for coming to see the two uncles off! They are men who stand up to heaven and earth, and are eternal heroes in our hearts! Although they left, history What they did for this country will always be remembered, and their names will be recorded in history!"

October 754, 10 in the Imperial Calendar, is a day I will never forget.At the funeral of the two civilians who died in the Fire Cloud Empire's counterattack against the invasion of the Orc Empire, Liu Yun, the commander of the Continental Allied Forces, and General Nalan, the commander of the expeditionary force, carried the coffin in person, shocking the world.This is the funeral with the highest standard since the founding of Huoyun, and it is also the highest honor that civilians have received in this war.

Nalan, the expeditionary army known as the "butcher" by the orcs, has since been called the "general carrying the coffin" by the world.This not only refers to his carrying the coffins of the two old men who died tragically in his hands at this funeral, but also implies that he "carried his own coffin" to launch a crazy, bloody and desperate expedition against the orcs.
