"No, life is like a dream, I didn't expect that our two small regiment commanders at the beginning have now become high-ranking officers in their respective motherlands. For more than 20 years, we have been fighting back and forth, and now it is finally time to completely separate the winners and losers. Lieutenant General Luo Ning said with emotion.
"Hehe, what's the matter, do you still think you will win this battle? You and I are the warriors of the Sayi Empire, Luo Ning, don't be happy too early, the victory has not yet been decided, and it is not yet time to pretend. Lieutenant General Yun Luo replied stunned, not feeling the slightest emotion of Lieutenant General Luo Ning.
"Yun Luo, you are still so hard-mouthed. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what is there to not admit, do you still think that you can fight back in this situation? Let's not fight, while there is still some time, let's have a good chat, since we came out of the Lily of the Valley Academy, we haven't been able to talk as well as we did then. The more Lieutenant General Luo Ning spoke, the lower his tone became, and even a little sadness could be felt in his tone.
Seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's expression, Lieutenant General Yun Luo's expression, who had always looked cold, gradually eased, and after holding the weapon in his hand and being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Alas, what can be done, since you and I have chosen our respective paths, it proves that we can no longer drink and talk like we did in the academy in this life." Let him pass in the past, Luo Ning, when did you become like this. ”
"Actually, if I had to choose, I'd rather fight you for another twenty years than be here now. Yunluo, don't you know, you choose to stay here at the moment, and there can only be one ending. Lieutenant General Luo Ning said sincerely, and his gaze when he looked at Lieutenant General Yun Luo began to become a little compassionate.
Seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's eyes, Lieutenant General Yun Luo couldn't help but sigh, and after being silent for a long time again, he said, "Hehe, what can I do." Before, I thought that the empire had made so many arrangements, and it would definitely be able to capture the Tianlan Empire in one go. So take the initiative to ask for help, I want to beat you with my own hands, and then condescendingly ridicule you. I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable, but you took pity on me now. The battle of the Zhongbang fortress has consumed all the advantages of my Sayy Empire, and as the commander-in-chief, I cannot escape the responsibility for ineffective combat. Now that I am being pursued when I withdraw my troops, even if I do not die in battle, those political parties will not leave me with any way to live when I return home. ”
"This ...... Alas. Forget it, now that we've come to this point, it's superfluous for us to say anything more. You can bravely assume your responsibilities, and I still admire you Yunluo. At this time, we meet on a narrow road, so let my brother send you on the road with my own hands. After speaking, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally lifted the weapon in his hand.
"Well, that's exactly what I mean. If you don't want me to leave with any regrets, don't show mercy after a while, and leave frankly, I am worthy of my Sayi Empire. Saying this, Lieutenant General Yun Luo actually smiled with relief, and then clenched the weapon in his hand.
When the two were talking, Li Yi always listened quietly. I never thought that the two countries could almost be regarded as pillars, and when they were young, they were students at the same time in Lily of the Valley Academy, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
Before, he had no impression of the commanders in Say's enemy army, but now that he saw that Lieutenant General Yun Luo knew that he would die, he could still stay here, and Li Yi suddenly felt a little respect for this general in the enemy army. But this respect turned into pity in an instant, because Li Yi knew that although Lieutenant General Luo Ning said it well on the surface, in fact, before charging here, the old general had arranged for more than a dozen knights to divide into three routes, and the five knights of the Central Army were the main attackers, while the troops of the other two knights were detouring back to the two flanks of the enemy army in Say, and just waiting for the battle to be together, the knights on both sides would attack and completely crush this group of enemy troops organized in a hurry.
When Lieutenant General Luo Ning talked to Lieutenant General Yun Luo before, he seemed to suddenly feel emotional, and told the other party about his youth. In fact, it was Lieutenant General Luo Ning who bought time for the knights of the other two legions to join the siege, and now that it is calculated, the other two troops can basically be in place, and Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally stopped talking about the old and prepared to launch the final offensive.
After thinking about this, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. Lieutenant General Luo Ning has always looked like he has no scheming, but now even in the face of his old friends, he does not have the slightest softness, and he still arranges the same backhand, leaving not even a chance for the opponent.
"These people have really become goblins." Li Yi rode on the war horse and sighed secretly.
"Array!" Lieutenant General Luo Ning raised the long sword in his hand and shouted to the cavalry behind him.
In an instant, tens of thousands of cavalry behind him responded to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's neat sound of horses' hooves.
Waving his long sword and pointing it directly at Lieutenant General Yunluo, the old general shouted loudly: "Charge!" ”
"Tianlan will win!" The cavalry of the five knights of the Central Army shouted loudly and at the same time launched a fierce charge on the opposite side.
Just as the two armies were fighting, a large group of cavalry appeared at the same time on both flanks of the Say's enemy. Li Yi took a look at it and confirmed that these two teams were the troops of the Tianlan Empire.
Lieutenant General Yun Luo, who was still eating and supporting the Central Army to resist the frontal charge, saw the Tianlan Army suddenly rushing out on both sides, and his whole heart suddenly became cold.
"Okay, Luo Ning, I didn't expect that you really treated me Yunluo." Seeing Tianlan ambush again, Lieutenant General Yun Luo knew that his blockade would not buy much time for other troops. Sighing sadly, Lieutenant General Yun Luo raised the spear in his hand and rushed towards Lieutenant General Luo Ning on the opposite side.
"General, all the enemy troops of the Say who resisted here were killed, and not a single deserter." After a fierce battle for most of the night, the Tianlan army won a complete victory, although there were many casualties, but compared to the annihilation of the entire army of the enemy army of Say, the fierce battle of the Tianlan army in the middle of the night can be said to be a remarkable result. After the fierce battle, the commander of a Central Army Knights reported excitedly to Lieutenant General Luo Ning.
"Well, very good, you all performed well in tonight's battle, and when we go back, we will reward you for your meritorious deeds." Lieutenant General Luo Ning said in a depressed mood, although the Tianlan Army won a complete victory this time, but Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not see the joy after the victory at all.
Standing tall on the battlefield, after a fierce battle for most of the night, the sky had begun to light slightly. Lieutenant General Luo Ning looked at the corpse of Lieutenant General Yun Luo who fell on his leg in a daze, and was silent for a long time.
The generals couldn't get the next order, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only stand quietly by Lieutenant General Luo Ning's side, waiting for the order.
After a long time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning reached out and picked up Lieutenant General Yunluo's body from the ground, as if he had picked up a treasure, without caring that what was in his hand at this time was a dead man.
Li Yi also stood quietly aside, looking at Lieutenant General Luo Ning's expression, he knew that the old general must have moved his true feelings this time. Because just a few days ago, when Duke Vanessa died, General Ronin only sighed for a while, and did not personally bury his body.
Lieutenant General Luo Ning personally used his long sword to dig a pit in a clearing on the side of the road, and the soldiers around him saw the general doing it, and they all came out to help, but they were all sent aside by Lieutenant General Luo Ning, he was a person stubbornly digging a pit, not moved by the things around him at all.
By the time Lieutenant General Luo Ning dug the pit and buried Lieutenant General Yunluo's body, the sky was already bright. Li Yi knew that even if he pursued the enemy army at this time, it would be impossible to win such an unprecedented victory, so he quietly watched the old general mourn quietly next to the small dirt bag in front.
Captain Kane stepped out of the crowd and calmly walked to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's side, and did not speak, but just put his hand on Lieutenant General Luo Ning's shoulder.
"Ronin, don't be too sad. It is also a glorious thing for our soldiers to die on the battlefield, and his stubborn choice of this way of death can be regarded as a good explanation for himself. ”
When General Ronin heard Commander Kane's words, he did not look back, but continued to be silent. After being silent for a long time, General Luo Ning spoke, but at this time, the old general's voice began to be a little hoarse. "Kane, Jagger died on the Atlantic side a few years ago, Lord Vanessa died at my hands a few days ago, and now Yunluo is also dead. The only people we were living with are Lori and you and me. Although soldiers must have the courage to face death, as warriors, we should be at our peak at this age, but because we are soldiers, we are beginning to be unable to control our own life and death. ”
"This is also a matter of no choice, who made us choose this path without hesitation, since we have gone so far, do you still want to turn back now. At our age, it would be impossible to break through to the Holy Level. Captain Kane stood beside Lieutenant General Luo Ning and said with a heavy expression.
"I don't know about these things, but I suddenly feel emotional when my old friends leave me one by one. Well, if you continue to be so sad, you will inevitably be laughed at by these little cubs. Lieutenant General Luo Ning's grief did not last long, and after adjusting a little, he returned to his previous hearty personality.
"That's right, what's there to complain about, after all, we've tasted the taste of being admired by others that ordinary people can't taste. Now that the Say's enemy forces have withdrawn from our pursuit, do you think we have gathered a heavy force to attack the Say's enemy army? Or just stop and go back to the imperial capital to invite credit. Commander Kane no longer talked about the past, but began to discuss the future of the war with Lieutenant General Luo Ning.
"Hmm...... I think we should set up camp here first, and then send someone back for Lori to continue to send troops to join us. What you said before was also right, this time Your Majesty hopes that we can take this opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack and hit the territory of the Sayy Empire. If we simply repel the enemy and retreat, we will not be rewarded for returning to the imperial capital, but will be punished. Lieutenant General Luo Ning thought for a long time and said seriously.
"Well, I think so too. Okay, then let's order the camp first, the soldiers have fought fiercely all night, and it is time to rest. After saying that, Commander Kane ordered everyone to camp on the spot, rest and recuperate, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
After receiving the order, all the cavalry cheered loudly, after all, everyone was tired after a night of traveling. Li Yi saw that he could rest, so he didn't delay any longer, and led his Second Knights to find a shady place and set up camp.
Lieutenant General Luo Ning looked at Li Yi, who was leaving with his troops, thoughtfully.
"Luo Ning, you tell me the truth, why do you take good care of that young man named Li Yi, is he your illegitimate son?" Seeing Lieutenant General Ronin's vision, Captain Kane said jokingly.
"Hehe, old and unserious, how can you think of this aspect. Can't you see anything special about Li Yi, and you still need to ask why I take good care of him? ”
"What's so special, the strength of the triple low-level in his twenties, although it is good, it is not shocking." The captain of the Kane Legion said with a grin.
"Triple low-level, Kane, you're not mistaken, can't you see Li Yi's true strength?" Hearing Kane's answer, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, isn't he a triple low-level strength?"
"Oh, Kane, I just realized that I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you become a fifth-level low-level strength now." was just about to open his mouth to explain to Kane, but after Lieutenant General Luo Ning probed Kane's breath, he found that the other party's strength had changed.
Hearing this, Captain Kane scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and there is no war in the west, so I relaxed my cultivation, and as a result, my strength inexplicably dropped from the fifth middle rank to the low rank." ”
"Well, how can you say hello, how can you let this happen." Hearing the other party's answer, General Luo Ning said angrily and with a smile.
Captain Kane didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.
"This Li Yi is only twenty years old this year, but he has the strength of the four low-ranks, and he has this strength at this age, do you think he should be taken seriously by me?"
"What? You said that young man now has the strength of the four low-ranks? How is it possible, I obviously feel that he is only a triple low-level. Hearing Lieutenant General Ronin's words, Commander Kane asked in disbelief although he knew that the other party could not make such a joke.
"Am I still going to lie to you? This Li Yi has a wonderful qi cultivation method, and I was able to see his true strength before. I didn't expect that after your strength has declined now, you won't be able to discover his true strength. It seems that his qigong method is really exquisite. General Ronin opened his mouth to explain to Kane.
"Oh, if it's really a cover for my strength and can't be discovered by me, then it makes sense. Then are you going to train this young man, this strength, this talent, do you want to train him to be your successor in the future? ”
"That's what I'm struggling with right now, and after going through so much, I've found out too. The army is actually the grave of cultivators, and when they come here, after being in a high position, they will only delay their cultivation speed. I cherish him as a talent and want to train him to take over my class. However, he was worried that he would also waste his amazing talent because of his life in the army in the future. Lieutenant General Luo Ning said contradictoryly.
"Hey, what's there to tangle about. Let it be, if he likes to be an official, you can help him. If he has no intention of power, he will naturally find an opportunity to leave in the future, so what do you care about about this? "Captain Kane is an outsider after all, but his mentality at this time is very good.
"Well, that's all there is to it, I'm a mediocre now." General Ronin said with a sudden realization, and then followed Commander Kane back to the camp to rest.
