The guard pulled up all the belt buckles on the armor and stood away. The elf magician who was responsible for protecting me came up to check carefully.
"Sir Governor, the armor has been changed." The elf magicians never call me "sir" or "master", which is another reason why I like them besides their appearance: "The armor is in good condition, and there is no problem with the magic that is given to them."
"I know." I nodded: "You guys go out."
I wanted to be alone, but unfortunately my wish was interrupted. The guard who had already walked outside the tent turned back to me and said, "Sir, Chief Helter is here."
"Helter, let him in." I said to the guard: "Next time, remember to call him brigadier general."
"yes."
Haiert, dressed in military uniform, strode in and stood in front of me. He held his helmet in one hand and pressed the hilt of his sword with the other, his expression still very serious.
It seemed that Helter was not going to speak first.
"He looks pretty good, he looks a bit like a general." I said calmly, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Yes, sir." Haiert looked at me calmly: "I have already thought carefully about our last conversation."
"You think very quickly." I nodded and said, "Then tell me."
"I thought about it very carefully, but I still can't let it go."
"Then what?"
"I only understand one thing, that is, I am different from you, and you and Fichet are also different. So I can't apply the method you used to treat Fichet." Heldt pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Dong: "I want to deal with it in my own way."
"That's right." I could see all his subtle movements, so I smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"You know my character. I don't like to take my time, so I'm going to tell you now." Haiert continued: "I'm also a good-faced person, so I'm meeting you alone."
"You are very long-winded today." I raised my chin at him: "Our time is very tight."
"Okay, this is considered a big event. I originally wanted to have a prelude..." Haiert handed the helmet to his left hand and immediately took out the sword with his right hand.
Hearing the sound of the sword being unsheathed, the tent door curtain was violently lifted, and several guards rushed in.
I raised my hand to wave away the incoming guards. At such a distance, if Helter really wanted to kill me, the guards couldn't stop him.
Haiert stood three steps away with a long sword in his hand. I still looked at Haiert with a smile. We looked at each other calmly for a moment.
Finally, Haiert made up his mind. He first slowly raised the long sword to his chest, then quickly turned his wrist, and the tip of the sword was already inserted into the ground.
"Ah! My..." Before I could say anything, he knelt down on one knee with his sword in hand, causing me to swallow the next words.
"I... Haiert swears, in the name of Haiert." Haiert looked up at me and said extremely calmly: "I will always follow Cohen Keda, and I will always abide by the oath I made that day. No matter when,
No matter where or what happens, Cohen Keda will always be the boss of my Geert!"
Seeing that Geert hadn't moved for a long time, I said, "Are you done?"
"That's it!"
"Then stand up." I patted Haiert on the shoulder: "Just tell me directly. Why are you doing this?"
"I just want to be cautious, lest I fail to remember it." Haiert said, "By the way, boss, should you say something?"
"Me? What did I say?"
"That's not right, boss, I have even knelt down for you." Haiert said loudly: "In the face of such a huge sacrifice of mine, you are indifferent? Is this what a boss does? Ah?"
"No, I'm very moved. To be honest, I'm very moved..." I answered Geert seriously: "So I won't hold you accountable for poking the carpet."
"What rug?"
I pointed to the ground at Helter's feet.
Helter looked at the ground and saw that there was a hole in the carpet from his actions just now. This carpet was the personal belongings of the commander of the demon alliance captured in the Battle of Tucheng and was valuable.
"Listen to me Helter, I know this matter is very important to you." I put a hand on his shoulder: "But you should find a good place and don't destroy such expensive things next time, okay?
?”
"Boss, you...is this your reaction?"
"I've been like this since the first day you met me." I chuckled: "Don't tell me you didn't have this awareness before entering the tent."
"Forget it." Haiert shrugged nonchalantly: "I should have known this outcome."
"Okay, let's go see your troops. Your battle is about to begin." I said, "I understand what you mean. Just let us know about this, okay?"
Haiert nodded, gave me a military salute and walked out. Looking at Haiert's walking steps, you can feel that his whole body feels much more relaxed.
"This guy is really cheerful..." I stood by the tent and said with a chuckle: "Those six thousand people are going to be in bad luck."
Then he glanced at the guards at the door: "I have something to do, so you are not allowed to come in."
"yes!"
I turned around and went back to the tent. I took my black iron knife and walked around the gap in the carpet a few times. Finally, I closed my eyes and turned around to monitor the situation outside the tent... This trick was my own creation.
, or rather, was created with the help of marshmallows.
The messy sounds disappeared, and I could clearly feel the even breathing and steady heartbeat outside the tent. Their location was a blurry shadow in my mind. One, two, three... until the following.
The position where I stood was the center, and all signs of life within a radius of thirty steps were revealed. These were my guards. They stood in two circles outside the tent, with officers walking back and forth in the middle.
The distance is relatively close! It seems that if you want to do something, you have to keep your voice down.
I pulled out the black iron knife and held the blade horizontally across my chest. Then I turned my wrist and the tip of the knife had already been inserted into the gap in the carpet.
"I swear...I swear in the name of Korn Keda." I knelt down on one knee, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and said slowly in a voice that I could only hear: "I will always be loyal to His Highness Fichet Chamai.
…”
I had to recite the following oath silently, because the guards rushed in again... Or in their eyes, I might be praying to a certain god. Who would know that I was practicing my allegiance to this guy Fichet?
?
After saying the oath in my heart, I stood up and walked to a group of guards.
"Didn't I tell you not to come in?"
"Sir, I am your guard." The leading guard officer accompanied Xing Xing and said, "This is my duty."
"Fuck!" I said very dissatisfied: "Let's go!"
When a large number of troops began to move, the usually wide passage immediately became narrow. The tribal people all retreated into the open spaces or woods on both sides of the passage. The troops of each legion were mobilized quickly, as well as a large number of law enforcement regiment soldiers and
The messengers rode fast horses to and fro among them.
"Reporting to the commander..." A messenger brought me news: "The dense forest at the exit of the passage has been cleared, and the Second Legion Haiert requested to attack!"
"Tell Brigadier General Helter to do a good job!" I replied, "I'll watch from behind."
"Yes!" The messenger rushed towards the exit of the passage.
I then led others to follow me. As soon as I exited the passage and rode on the broad plain, my mood immediately improved. Although the passage was good, staying in it for a long time was depressing.
"rock!"
"arrive!"
The tall rock cannot ride a horse at first, because as soon as he steps up, a good war horse will definitely crush him. Fortunately, the logistics team finally found a particularly strong war horse. This horse is from a group of the Demon Alliance Army.
The superior commander's mount - a barbarian fighter with a stature similar to that of a rock.
"Follow me!"
"yes!"
I galloped toward the battlefield at the mouth of the canyon, followed by a Guards regiment, and there were guards cruising in front, to the left, and to the left. I had just walked less than five miles, and I saw several plumes of smoke coming out of the mouth of the canyon. It was obvious that
Geert took all the depression he felt these days to take revenge on his enemy.
Since I was late for the start of the battle, I had to stop on a hill ten miles away from the exit of the canyon and wait for further battle reports. The huge military flag behind me fluttered gently in the wind, and the messengers came from the front one after another on horseback.
I report the battle situation.
Haiert fought well in this battle. He used a small force to seal the dense forests on both sides of the canyon, and handed over the canyon to the wingmen. Then a large force attacked directly in front of the exit, first greeted me with magic, and then attacked with bows and arrows. When the enemy found me
When the Fang troops arrived, their fate of defeat was already doomed.
In the Battle of Tucheng, the demon alliance army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, was completely wiped out. This tragic lesson gave my officers, big and small, a very intuitive understanding of war. This kind of small fortress that can only block refugees cannot survive.
them.
In less than an hour, several plumes of smoke at the mouth of the canyon gathered and developed into flames that soared into the sky. The participating troops began to turn around and lined up in front of the hill where I was.
Troops arrived one after another, and the magicians were preparing to spread my voice to the ears of every soldier. The black soldiers occupied my entire field of vision, and there were two entire legions. These magicians were very busy.
"Sir." Carlos walked up to me: "The enemy troops at the mouth of the canyon were wiped out by us, but they were not 6,000 but 8,000. In addition, there were another 2,000 who left earlier."
"That's right." I nodded and said, "You're not in trouble, are you?"
"No, Haierte sent someone to investigate before the attack and discovered it in time." Carlos answered me: "What did you say to him when you went out? The legion commander seems to be more cautious now."
"It's good that we don't have any trouble." I smiled slightly and said, "This is our private matter."
Carlos wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the magician on the side: "Sir, we are ready."
The star officer on duty ran forward in two steps and shouted a command that shook the mountains and the earth: "Everyone pay attention... stand at attention!"
Countless black figures moved in unison, tens of thousands of feet stamped on the ground, and there was a "whirring" sound.
"Now." The duty officer stood up straight: "Sir Cohen, please... speak!"
I tucked myself under the horse's belly and came to the area where the magic sound was transmitted.
"This is the dividing line between gods and demons, and we only need two more days to return to the Sbia Empire." I shouted: "Soldiers, are you happy!"
"Happy……"
"Since we entered the Demon Alliance, we have fought so many battles, suffered so much, and experienced so many tribulations..." I pointed my hand sideways behind me: "We will be home soon, are you happy?
!”
"Happy……"
"Some of you came out with me before the war started, and some of you only met more than 20 days ago, but no matter how long we have been together, we fought side by side." I paused for a moment: "You... are all mine.
Soldier!"
"We are Commander Cohen's soldiers!"
"However, a huge change is taking place in the Sibia Empire now. Someone wants to occupy our home! If they succeed, we will have no place to stay and we will lose everything!" My tone increased: "You are willing?
Become a homeless person?"
"I don't want to..."
"It has always been the desire to go home that supports us in fighting, and it is the desire to go home that helps us defeat all kinds of enemies. Today, we will fight for home again!" I highlighted the key points: "Or we are about to encounter
The enemy troops arriving are people we are familiar with, or some may be hesitant, but they are enemies! What should you do if you encounter them?"
"kill……"
"Follow me, I will lead you to take back your homeland!" I ended my speech: "Get on your horse and set off!"
Two days later, the leading troops of the First and Second Legions had arrived at the gates of Gallia. Corte, the governor of Galia who had just received the news, led a few guards and rushed to my unit in a hurry.
"Sir! Oh..." Before he could finish his sentence, Colt knelt down, hugged me and cried bitterly.
"Get up." I quickly dragged him up: "What's wrong with you?"
"Sir...it's so good to see you." Colter said with tears streaming down his face: "They all said that the Ninth Legion was completely wiped out!"
"Yes, you are right." I said: "The ninth legion of the God's Alliance Army was indeed completely wiped out."
"Then..." Colter pointed uneasily at the soldiers and officers beside me: "What are these?"
"Tell Governor Colter." I shouted to the people around me: "Who are you!"
"We are the army of the Dark Province!" The surrounding officers and soldiers replied in loud, uniform voices: "We are the soldiers of Governor Cohen!"
"What are you so proud about?" Colter wiped away the tears on his face and shouted loudly: "I... am... too!" (To be continued)
