Zachary put the heavy helmet on his scattered head, his cold eyes shining through the eye holes of the helmet, and glanced at the man and woman in the group of Kadan refugees in front, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until a low trumpet sounded in the castle behind him that he seemed to wake up from a start. With a swipe, he drew out his blood-stained sword, slapped it hard on the back of the riding beast, and started flying, stirring up smoke and dust all the way.
"War helmets, armor, weapons, brand names, luggage...check it for the third time. If there is anything missing, if it is lost without fighting, behead!"
He roared loudly on the back of the beast and ran past the panicked warriors one after another.
In the past few months, he has been fighting the people of the earth, the Catkin people, and the undead army...Fighting back and forth, he no longer knows who he will fight tomorrow?
But since he met the earthling for the second time under that magnificent "palace" and escaped without a fight, he tenaciously survived time and time again. Every time he survived, he was promoted to a higher rank. Now It was once unthinkable to take the position of a samurai commander and command a hundred-man army.
A year ago, even if a samurai commander did not need an aristocratic background, he still had to achieve great military success. Very few civilian samurai could achieve this position.
Nowadays, after every battle, countless people are killed, and the system has long since collapsed. It is said that even the knight commanders who must have noble qualifications have to be quickly promoted from civilian veterans.
The violent destruction of the war was not only reflected in the refugees gathered opposite him, but also in many previously unreachable depths.
His current boss, really, secretly told him not long ago that if these people can survive until the end of the war, they will definitely become a new noble. If they make great achievements again, they may even have a fiefdom.
Zachary did not particularly hate the cruel noble masters, nor did he expect to become a new noble. In the past few months, the ones he saw on the battlefield with the highest death rate were the young noble knights.
The sluggish old nobles of the Cardan people gradually lost control of the entire empire. The incredible ancient spirit of the Kadan people that the new generation of young nobles burst out in times of crisis is one of the important reasons why the empire can survive to this day, and they have paid countless blood prices for it.
Zachary doesn't understand these things. He doesn't want to understand, he just thinks about how to survive tomorrow?
"Zachary, take your people and disperse the refugees. Don't let them block the road!"
His boss really had to gallop towards him from afar. He waved his riding whip, pointed it at the ragged Kadan refugees not far away, and gasped:
"The army is about to leave. You are one of the vanguards. Your task is to clear the road and drive away the fierce sun. There are too many corpses on the road! I heard that this place is close to your hometown? Alas, it is all the fault of the undead..."
Zachary responded and did not continue the topic of his boss.
He looked around in silence. The winding road under Castle Hill was littered with corpses, most of them left behind by the undead army.
Under his helmet, he could clearly see several hungry Kadan people secretly picking up pieces of meat and putting them into their arms.
This reminded him of when they were besieged in the last castle, everything was eaten, even the skin on the walls was torn off and cooked, and someone started killing people...a scene that could only appear in the era of chaos a thousand years ago. , happened vividly before his eyes.
Fortunately, I survived, passed a few castles, and got a group of riding animals. The food in the army was barely able to sustain itself.
"Flag Commander, where are we going this time?"
In the past, Zachary would not ask and would usually stay silent. Because it’s useless to ask, it’s a war anyway, it’s the same everywhere.
But today was different. He wanted to go back and find out if his elderly mother was still alive, although there was no hope. But he always had some thoughts, and that was his only concern now. In addition, he also vaguely heard some gossip.
I'm going to fight the Earthlings again!
And it’s still the same place, and it’s still the same people on Earth!
If the news was true, he would almost suspect that the heads of the noble men in the castle were really broken.
Don’t you think enough people have died?
Deep in Zachary's soul, what he hates and fears the most is the god-like Earthling. It destroyed everything about him, but it also made him where he is today.
Whenever someone mentioned his promotion's military exploits, they sneered, thinking that he was just a veteran who had to be put together to make ends meet due to too many dead people. However, when it was revealed that he actually fought with that Earthling twice and... After miraculously surviving, everyone looked at him differently.
In particular, he once stabbed the Earthling at close range. Although he missed, no one dared to underestimate him because of this alone. Even the young nobles in the castle often invited him to come and let him Telling details over and over again that he actually didn't want to recall.
Not only that, he was also a person who crawled out from the undead army. However, he did not dare to say more about what happened that night, especially the strange voice that claimed to come from the starry sky, which was buried in his heart forever.
"How did I know!" Zhen Zhen cursed, but then leaned down mysteriously and whispered to him: "I'm afraid the rumors are true. The god and the seventh princess met once, and I was by his side that day. When I’m on duty from afar, I can see clearly.”
Zachary was silent. He didn't understand why he asked for help from that Earthling not long ago. In the blink of an eye, he had to start a war with him again. It was unpredictable and chaotic like a ball of grass. But the decision was made from above, and he didn't. If there is a way to escape, you must go, and you must go forward.
"Don't think so much." Seeing Zachary's thoughtful look, Zhen Er thought that he was too scared, so he comforted him: "We were just pretending to go there, and we can't go all out. The main force should be those gods." People, those who drive the fierce sun, it’s not easy for us people to survive until today. When the war is over, you and I will be nobles, and it’s time to enjoy yourself, be careful not to die!"
The last part was really said in a lowered voice. Zachary nodded numbly. There was another trumpet sound in the castle, as if a large group of people were preparing to set off. He really didn't dare to delay, pointing at the refugees and hurriedly After giving the explanation, he quickly ran back to the castle.
Zachary glanced in the direction of the distant "palace" of the Earthlings, rode the beast to the front of the team, and said loudly:
"Everyone listens to the order and clears the road!"
At his scolding, the golden-armored warriors took steps forward one after another with guns in hand. Evict the refugees who block the road in search of food.
Zachary was riding on one side and did not participate in the cleaning. He was thinking about something with his calm eyes.
There were too many refugees, and there was not enough food in the castle to feed them. We can only disperse them and let them find their own way to survive. If they stay in the middle of the road and refuse to go, they will be killed as usual.
Many of the refugees here are docile and do not dare to confront the army. Unlike last time in the Dunerdi fiefdom, the instigated refugees refused to give way without food aid, and ended up killing all the way.
The hundred-man golden-armored warrior team moved forward bit by bit to clear the way. Under the blood-stained cold spear tips, the refugees scattered to both sides in panic, looking at the majestic Zachary with fear but envy.
After about a long journey, the castle was already far behind, and the refugees were driven off the road and gradually compressed into the mountains.
Zachary received another summons, but he no longer had to come in person. But an ordinary messenger.
The direction of march is indeed that place!
He took the helmet off his head again and breathed heavily as if he couldn't breathe.
Seeing him stop, the refugees who were compressed in the field caused a small commotion. An old Kadan man dragged a very young Kadan girl to Zachary and said respectfully and flatteringly. :
"Master Knight, this is my little daughter. She was raised with the best cheese before the Great Rebellion. She is the daughter-in-law of the Cantsby family who will be sent to the Great Castle. I can guarantee that there is no one better than her today. She has received a better education. How can those despicable girls be worthy of someone of your status? Please accept her to show my respect for you."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a shrewd Kadan woman rushed out, pushed the old man, and said in a loud voice: "Master, please don't listen to this old guy's nonsense. Today's dilapidated state .What's the use of raising a weak date girl? A man of status like you will sooner or later be the master of the land. If you want to use it, you should use strong people who can herd, farm, and do farm work. That's called property. , are you right?"
The old man was trembling with anger and argued: "You are a village woman, what do you know? The gentlemen have a fiefdom, why are they afraid of not having any employees? My lord, listen to me, nowadays, there are refugees like her everywhere, who want to There are as many as there are. If you open your mouth, are you afraid that you won't be able to find these untouchables? But educated dating girls..."
Not to be outdone, the woman slapped the old man harshly and interrupted him: "Old guy, do you still think you are superior to others? God, I don't even look at you now. Sir, you You will never be wrong if you listen to me. The most important thing for gentlemen is property. If you have property, what do you have? This cannot be reversed. "
The old man raised his weak body, lay on the strong woman's arms, and wanted to retort. After all, this might be his only chance to survive, but Zachary snorted indifferently, clamped his legs between his legs and tried to ride the beast. Leave and ignore them all.
He didn't even look at his young date who kept her head down and didn't dare to look at him. This kind of thing had happened constantly in the past few castles he passed by, and he no longer felt anything about it.
He sometimes thought that he, a little warrior captain, had so many people trying to fawn over him. That earthling who was more powerful than the great priest might really be like what the rumors said. The princess is about to be sent away.
For some reason, he thought of the girl with a bright smile in the field again.
Then his eyes suddenly returned to coldness, he raised his helmet and put it on again.
"Zachary, is that you?"
Suddenly a sharp and harsh voice shouted from the crowd, very familiar, yet so strange.
"Is it really you? God, it's great that you are still alive. Zachary, my dear brother, little Keenmi, please call Uncle Zachary..."
Under the gloomy sky, among the crowded shabby refugees, a flattering woman tightly held the hand of a child and squeezed out among the extremely envious eyes of others.
The crowd surged, and where the woman was standing, her fellow refugees looked excitedly at Zachary, who was holding a sword in his hand, wearing golden armor, and a face as cold as frost.
Among them, there seems to be a young Kadan man with the girl who once had a bright smile that made him dream...
***
Chu Yunsheng failed to return to the starship. There were a large number of triangular shield aircraft within a few kilometers of the cave ruins. A huge cubic light beam from space 560,000 kilometers away was directly above the starship, keeping pace with the planet. Orbital, no longer moving.
All communications with the starship were cut off, and all he could receive was the last message, followed by noise-like silence, obviously blocked.
A large number of crystal warriors floated around the starship, rising and falling. Their crystal white clothes looked like messengers from heaven.
On the ground, a large number of armies of various ethnic groups are moving in one after another. Just like the last coalition army, they were sent one after another by various transportation vehicles and were surrounded by the stars.
Among them, the Yi people are the first and the most numerous.
Chu Yunsheng flew close to the ground and stood on a mountain in the distance. His eyes were calm and his aura was restrained and hidden in the woods.
In the sky, there is a sword of green light in the west, a sword of purple energy in the east, fire dragons and pterosaurs cover the sky and the sun, and snowflakes are flying in layers.
In the clouds in the middle, he saw Little Changyu, the last of the Tianyu tribe to escape. A snow-white figure stood quietly in the snowflakes and mist beside her.
With such a strong lineup, there is no doubt that he is a dead ringer as soon as he appears!
The choice of "complete surrender" is just an excuse to lure him back.
Chu Yunsheng had no way of knowing what was going on inside the starship, and he probably hadn't surrendered yet. The people on Earth had no way out, and the situation of the Xigao people might be more complicated.
They were quite arrogant. Even if he was recognized as "Your Majesty", most of the tall people at that time chose to die without giving in.
But now the remaining three slender people are not sure, especially Lei, who is very afraid of death.
However, Chu Yunsheng is outside now, so he actually hopes that they all surrender. At least the starship can be prevented from being attacked again and further destroyed. The silver army of the earth cannot defeat such a powerful force. Resistance is just It's just a sacrifice in vain. Even if some of the enemies can be killed before collective death, it is meaningless.
He can think of this level, and the people in the starship should also be able to think of it, especially the tall man.
There is still no sign of surrender at this moment, and there is probably only one reason for this.
Chu Yunsheng withdrew his eyes, turned and hid in the darkness of the woods, and put his hands into the box containing the source body. Success or failure depended on this moment.
Time passed bit by bit, and outside the starship in the distance, attacks from above and below began...
^(To be continued.)
