Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Those people looked at each other, and one of them said, "Master Helun should have told you that the lava cannon is no longer usable."

"Are you sure it can't be used?"

"determine."

The Crow King nodded, then suddenly stretched out his long arms and grabbed the man by the throat.

"I'll ask you again, are you sure it can't be used?" He growled.

The man widened his eyes in horror and said, "You have no right to order us..."

"Crack!" The Crow King easily broke the man's neck.

The others turned pale with fright.

Then the Crow King asked again in a calm tone: "Cannon, can you use it?"

"It can be used, it can be used!" The artillerymen of the Demon Race said one after another, "At least three rounds can be fired, no, five rounds, and it can be fired until it explodes!"

"That's right, you guys have a bit of conscience." The Crow King said with a sneer.

In fact, the Crow King has already seen that the demons did not do their best to help him. The demons are both allies and enemies.These cunning demons are scheming against him. If they don't give him the cannons, they want him to consume more troops and spend more money.If it was before, the Crow King might have given them some face, but not now.

"Remember, don't worry about the barricades, just blow up the lord's mansion." As long as the goblin bed crossbow is blown down, the giant can flatten the city.

"Yes, Crow King." The artillerymen quickly saluted.

Then, the Crow King took out a small bone flute from his pocket, and then he put the flute horizontally to his mouth and blew it, and there was a piercing sound in the air.

"Di-!"

That small object made an unbelievable noise.That sound was like the cry of wild beasts, like the cold wind at midnight... The sound passed through the tent, passed through the ten-mile company, and floated into the ears of "big brother" Abibamo.

The ten-meter-high giant stood up from the mud, and following Abibamo's movements, more than a dozen giants also rose from the ground.The tallest of these guys is eight or nine meters, and the shortest is five meters.They all wore huge armor and held big sticks made of logs. They moved slowly, but every step they took would shake the ground.

After a while, the giant came to the front of the Raven King's tent. "Big brother of the giant" Abi Bamo bowed to the crow king, and said in a thunderous voice: "The elder brother of the giant pays homage to the king of the little man."

The Crow King looked at the ten-meter-high monster. He stood there like a hill. His huge body covered the sky and blocked the rain and light from the sky.There was not a single hair on the giant's body, and it was full of fat from head to toe, looking ugly and bloated.However, these behemoths have not been underestimated because of this.The Crow King knew that under the fat of the giant, there were strong and powerful muscles twisted like tree roots.He'd executed a giant deserter once, so he knew what these guys were like inside.

At this time, the giants, the artillerymen, and the generals of the allied forces were all standing on the square in front of the big tent, waiting for the crow king's order.

The Raven King stood on the dais and said to them: "My warriors! This time the tactics are very simple! First, the giants moved the cannons to the ruins of the city wall, and then the artillerymen of the demons blasted their lords' mansions. , Blow up all the bed crossbows hidden inside. Then, you follow the giant and smash the city to the ground!"

The soldiers shouted: "Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!" (Tukalu: Long live)

The Crow King laughed and walked down the general platform. He passed through the phalanx, and the soldiers automatically divided into two rows to make way for him.He crossed the phalanx just like Moses opened the sea, and came to the gate of the camp.His guards had already prepared their mounts. The name of the Crow King's mount was "George", and it was a maroon horse.At first glance, this horse is neither strong nor tall, but upon closer inspection, it has a protruding forehead, protruding eyes, well-proportioned bones and muscles, broad chest and broad feet... This is a divine horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, but only Only professional horse hunters can see it.

The Crow King put on his battle robe, mounted his war horse, then raised his hand and said:

"This ridiculous battle should end!"

"My warriors, march!"

The horns from all directions sounded in unison, the sound was deafening, and the Crow King's army rushed towards the Wild Wolf City like a tsunami.

The Crow King thought viciously:

Leoric, when I catch you, I'll dig out your heart and make wine!Take this wine as a sacrifice to my nephew!

Chapter 52: The Eve of the Final Battle

This is the third time that the plateau people have repelled the barbarian attack.

When deciding on the Northern Expedition, General Akkad once said to the king: "Your Majesty, the strength of our army and the barbarians is very different. It is purely helpless to take the initiative to attack. If we fight like this, the winning rate will not even reach [-]%. But if we can There may still be a glimmer of hope in obtaining the goblin's crossbow from the sea."

So the king collected a large sum of money and asked the general to buy this "silver life".Haidnis are more vicious than the underground people in business, and they are notorious profiteers.So the general spent a lot of money to get these weapons at that time.Many people accused him of wasting money by doing this. Instead of buying those iron sheets and rotten wood, it is better to use this money to form a legion, or to increase the salary and treatment of the current soldiers, at least it can improve morale.

The general was noncommittal, saying only: "Time will prove me right."

Looking at it now, he was indeed right.

The range of these bed crossbows is very long, and the power is also ridiculously large. As soon as the enemy's catapult was assembled, the bed crossbows shot into the soul, blasting the machine into scum.Leoric hadn't realized that the crossbow would be so powerful before. He thought the ballista was a cold weapon that fired arrows. It had a long range and strong power, but its damage and range were limited after all—the crossbow The power is great, and at most one person can be stabbed to death at a time!Not a cannon.

However, the phrase "goblin technology is trustworthy" applies everywhere.These goblin ballistas have two shooting modes. The first mode can shoot arrows in salvo from six bullet holes, thus pouring firepower in a large area. Leoric affectionately called it: Gatling mode.

The second design mode is specially used to shoot heavy ballistas. It has a single shot, slow fire rate and long range, but the destructive power is ridiculous. At least the soldiers will not be so afraid of the enemy's cannon after seeing the power of this thing. up.

The heavy-duty arrows fired by the ballista are specially made, and the arrows are wrapped with explosive-like substances. Leoric has no time to study whether the principle is chemistry or magic. These ballistas are like RPGs one by one.So Leoric called it: RPG mode.

It's no wonder the general dares to challenge the barbarians. If I travel with an rpg, I will also dare to go north.

Relying on these secret weapons, Leoric repelled the third attack of the barbarians and destroyed part of the enemy's siege engines, but their territory was only left with the central square, the lord's mansion and the waterway to the east.At this time, the barbarians occupied [-]% of the territory of Wild Wolf City, and Leoric had less than [-]% left.

At this time, the plateau people set up a defensive formation in the square, and the person who set up the formation was Bloze of the Bloodspear Legion.Blosser is good at defending, and previously guarded the city wall with General Akkad.Later, after the wall was broken, it was withdrawn and safely entered the barricade under the cover of Growen.The blood spear legion's city wall guards suffered the least losses, and their organizational system was fairly complete. This legion is also the main force in the defense line of the square.

Sitting on horseback, Blose looked at the black barbarians at the end of the street with mixed feelings in his heart.

This is probably the last battle of his life.

Win or lose is the last game.

If he lost, he would serve the country with his own body. Needless to say, if he won, he would also be discharged from the army. His left leg was injured, the wound was deep, and the slightest movement would cause a sharp pain.This leg is probably useless, and in the future it is said that you don't need crutches or a wheelchair to move around.

Moreover, there is another important reason why he chose to retire.

Blose felt that his ideas were out of step with the times.

He is 52 years old this year, and besides General Akkad, he is the oldest in the Northern Expeditionary Army.He is General Akkad's apprentice, strategy and tactics, formation of troops, marching and reconnaissance, overall planning...all the skills he learned from the general.In his opinion, this battle was bizarre from the very beginning, and he couldn't understand it.

From the time when Leoric captured the gates of Wild Wolf City, then eight hundred cavalrymen attacked the enemy camp at night, to abandoning the city walls and building barricades... Blose always held objections, but the facts proved that these seemed outrageous decisions are correct.This confused Blozer.

In addition, he did not understand the tactics of the barbarians.He didn't know why the barbarian was able to charge up the city wall with hot oil, why those guys were not afraid of death, where the giants, half-demons and crow people came from, and he didn't know how to deal with them.Oh, and cannons, what's that?Why is it so powerful?Can't even hold up the walls of Wild Wolf City?

If a general can't understand the situation on the battlefield at all, then he loses the qualification to continue leading troops.

He remembered the words of General Akkad:

"Time is the wind, people are the leaves."

"A leaf moves with the wind, but it dies away from the branch."

If Blozer was 30 years younger, maybe all of this would not be a problem—he could learn from what he didn’t understand; he could see it a few more times if he didn’t;But he is too old, and he has used up all the chances to make mistakes in his life. If he makes mistakes again as the group leader, how will he face those living or dead people?

It is said that the soul does not dissipate at the moment of death, but disappears bit by bit with aging.When the soul disappears, courage naturally ceases to exist. Blozer asked himself, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of new things.Because the new will replace the old, if he replaces all his common sense with the new, then he is equivalent to denying his past self—denying the man who was on the battlefield.

He is not afraid of death, but he does not have the courage to challenge himself.

Just when he was confused, a voice sounded beside him, "Commander Blozer, the final decisive battle is about to begin, how do you feel?"

He turned his head and saw that Philip, who was in the popular group first, was smiling at him.Blozer didn't like this man, nor did he like the popular group. He had an instinctive dislike for these frivolous guys.However, there is no major conflict between them, it's just that they simply don't like it.

Blose smiled wryly, and replied, "How do you feel? What do you think? It's nothing more than waiting to die."

"why would you say so?"

He glanced back at the ballistas hidden in the window of the mansion, and said in a low voice: "It is impossible to win the battle with a few goblin ballistas. The enemy's food and grass, the quality of individual soldiers, the number of people, And all the numbers you can see, we are all at a disadvantage. What I think now is to fight the barbarians desperately after a while, killing one is not a loss, and killing two is a profit."

Philippe laughed and said, "You're still so pessimistic!"

"Hmph, you are optimistic."

Philip said: "We still have [-] cavalry to show, and Leoric also hinted to me that he has a killer weapon."

"Really?" Blose crossed his arms, noncommittal.

Blozer's psychology is contradictory - as the "Blood Spear Legion" who is best at defending, forming formations, and fighting tough battles among all legions, he must choose those conservative and reliable tactics in order to win battles and keep his own. position.Therefore, he resisted from the bottom of his heart what he did to Leoric.

But on the other hand, Blozer is not blind, nor is he a fool who deceives himself and confuses right and wrong. He can see that everything Leoric has done is very effective, and maybe he is right.However, this Blozer, an old machine that has been running for decades, can't burn the hot new oil.

He is the prestigious "Bloodspear Bloser" only in the field he is familiar with. Once he leaves this circle, he will be hacked to death immediately like a skirmisher who has left the city wall.

At this time, Philip put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Old man, I know you don't like Leoric for the same reason you hate me. I remember when I first joined the army, I raised the issue of The system is being improved, and you want to replace the boots of your legion, you are furious, call me a brat, and tell me to go back to my hometown..."

Hearing this, Blose sneered and said, "Am I wrong? You changed the supplier of military boots, and the result is that our soldiers have ringworm on their feet and sores on their fingers!"

"But in the end, the military boots were successfully improved. Now our soldiers' boots can ride horses, walk on muddy ground, and won't leak easily-the reform is difficult to go smoothly, and there must be pains during the period, just like using a knife to debride a wound. If you endure Without this pain, we will never move forward."

Blose couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this, and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I just hope you don't have a sad face. You should learn from those young people." A smug smile appeared on Philip's horse face, "Look at them."

Blozer looked back, and he saw Leoric chewing jerky and drinking beer; he saw Shia feeding the horse carrots, stroking the horse's neck with a smile on his face; Sir Milan's bald head was shining in the sun. He was bragging to the soldiers, showing off his feat just now; Fu was leading the nuns to distribute food and bandages to the militiamen. The sun fell on her, reflecting her like an angel... At this time, almost A young soldier sang a song called "John's Spring", which was said to have been around 200 years ago.

Many people can sing that song, and even those who can't sing have heard it, so everyone joined in and became a chorus.

They sang: "Milia, wheat, rice!"

"Peanuts, potatoes, celery, and thyme!"

"You plant in the soil, he plants in the water."

"But I planted it on the girl's belly!"

"Seeds planted in February, a baby will grow in December."

"The seeds were planted in February, and two babies grew out!"

"Yellow-haired John, black-haired boy!"

"Yellow-haired John, black-haired boy!"

"John, John, John doesn't understand!"

"People say that if you plant beans, you will get beans, and if you plant melons, you will get melons. Why are my beans not beans, and melons not melons?"

"The girl smiled and said..."

"It's spring, so beautiful! The sun is so big! The ridges are so long! John, so silly!"

"Who said beans are your beans and melons are your melons?"

"Who said beans are your beans and melons are your melons?"

After singing, people burst into laughter.At this time, Blozer saw Leoric standing up suddenly, and said loudly: "One more part! Then who, military musician, accompanist! Let's go!"

The soldiers cheered one after another. At this time, the musician who played the charge trumpet picked up the horn and blew a song "The Woodcutter Returns Late", which was also a well-known song, so people started another round of chorus.After the song was sung, the dull and melancholy atmosphere in the square disappeared, and the smiles on everyone's faces were more beautiful than the rainbow in the sky.And the barbarians at the end of the street looked at the plateau people one after another, showing expressions of doubt and horror.

Blozer said: "It's ridiculous! How can a bugle be used for this." Even so, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

Philip even laughed and said, "That's right! The former Northern Expeditionary Army couldn't do such a thing, could it?"

Blose also had to nod and said, "Yeah, it's different."

The old regiment leader raised his head and saw that the rain was over, the sun pierced the dark clouds, and the rainbow crossed the Luoyue River, as if he wanted to send them home all the way.His mood also improved a lot. Even in the face of the vast number of barbarians, he didn't feel afraid anymore, but had an inexplicable self-confidence.

There seemed to be a voice in his heart saying: Those who can win!Ours can win.Like that night, like a long, long time ago, do you remember?Blozer.When you were a soldier, you once hunted a brown bear yourself. You didn't have armor or a long sword, you only had a knife, but you still killed him!You can do it, Blozer!

The voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that it was the boy himself talking to him.

At this moment, Philip said with a smile: "Blozer, actually, I also know that this battle is difficult to fight, but, seeing this kind of scene, you will feel that there is still hope for our future. Behind us is not only this This city, and these young people. Even if we fall, they will hold up the sky."

Hearing this, all the fear and anxiety in Blozer's heart disappeared.

What's so scary?

At least I am familiar with this formation.

At least this battlefield is still the same as I remember.

He has been in the army for 35 years. For 35 years, there is only one reason why he has been victorious, and that is "repeatedly doing the right thing."Today is nothing more than repeating that thing again.

What's more, he only needs to do his own thing, as for the rest, it's up to those young people.

"Ohh Ohh ohh--!"

The sound of the horns of the barbarians came from a distance, and the barbarians at the end of the street became restless, the orcs roared deafeningly, and the barbarians brandished their sabers and howled.

Blozer shouted: "Ready to fight, my countrymen!"

"Victory will be ours!"

At this moment, Blose said in his heart:

General, I will not be carried away by the wind.

I will stay here and watch the saplings thrive.

If I am to die, let me fall under the roots and rot into fertile mud.

So that those little trees can grow taller than us.

Ps: The next few chapters have a big climax!
