Chapter 750: Rupee's Day (5)
"It hurts......" As the things in front of him gradually became clearer, the lost strength returned to his limbs, and the rupee lying on the haystack finally did it, but then the foul smell of grass and other things such as the smell of fishy sweat and the unbearable smell of sewage almost made the little officer of the Holy Light Empire, who had managed to get up, fall into a coma again.
Scanning the surroundings with confused eyes, Ruby's head was sober at the same time, and he also roughly understood how bad a place his location was - in the underground water canal system of Port Saint-Light, of course, this is a more literary statement, if you put it bluntly, then Ruby's place is actually in the sewers of Port Saint-Light.
In addition to discovering that there was a sewer with sewage in front of him, Ruby also found that many places around him that should have been empty were covered with hay, and on top of these haystacks there were basically many really moaning soldiers of the Holy Light Empire, judging from the bandages on their bodies, these guys were more or less injured by some teams with great physical harm, and at this time, when there was a sharp pain in the waist, Ruby found that his leather armor and clothes had been replaced, replaced by clean trousers and tight bandages around his body.
"Are you awake?" At this moment, a soldier of the Holy Light Empire who was guarding next to these wounded soldiers found the rupee, so he stepped forward and immediately asked, and when he saw the appearance of this guard, the rupee seemed to think of something, and suddenly showed a very anxious look. He gave birth to a hand and said to the soldier of the Divine Light Empire who was walking towards him: "Quick! Soldier! Lift me up, I have something important to repay, I see a Naga warrior appear in the port area. I have to report the news. ”
For Ruby's anxious appearance, whether it was the Divine Light Empire soldier who was walking towards Ruby, or the others who were already awake on the haystack lying around, they all suddenly fell into a short silence, and this short silence also made Ruby's heart rise a very bad premonition, and in the next second, the Divine Light Empire soldier who stopped walking because of what Ruby said, sighed. Then he walked up to Ruby and said with a wry smile, "It seems that your Excellency Centurion is one of the people who escaped from the port area?" No wonder you came here so early, it seems that Your Excellency is blessed by the God of Light. ”
"Soldier, I don't understand what you mean?" Although I don't believe the fact that I have in my heart. But Ruby, who was sitting on the haystack, thought for a moment, calmed down his feelings, and asked him.
"Your Excellency Centurion, you are a smart man, and if you can get the red badge, you should know what I mean."
“…… So what's going on on the front? ”
"Very bad. First of all, because of the surprise attack of the fleet on which the sun never sets. Especially because of the mysterious siege equipment on the side where the sun never sets, the defense system of the military port area and even all the port areas of the port of the Holy Light where you stayed before was paralyzed, and about not long after you came here, the Naga warriors of the sun never set launched a full-scale raid, they first sank all the ships moored outside the port, of course, in fact, there were no ships for them to sink, after all, the first round of firepower strikes, the sun never set side has basically sunk all the medium-sized and above warships. Those Naga warriors who were like the tide of the sea only sank a few small boats as they moved forward. And after that, they swept the entire military port. Less than half of the people on the front line of our army survived the first round of artillery fire, and half of these halves were basically carried here, plus we didn't know that it was the sun and their Naga warriors who came from the road, so the 34th Army was immediately routed......... No, it should be said that you suffered a massacre, and you are also from the 34th Legion, right? I'm sorry that your comrades, including you, were able to get here with less than 500 people.
“……… In fact, I didn't think that I would be able to survive at all, I was injured by the Naga warrior again, that is, after the wound on my waist, I relied on my familiarity with that area to escape, I originally hoped that I could hold on to the rear and run to the rear to tell the news to my superiors, but unfortunately I didn't insist on staying halfway down the road, and I don't know what happened next, even if the memory in my mind is still stuck in the time when I saw the Naga warrior. ”
"Naga warriors are not stupid, they are as smart as us humans, you just said that you only saw a Naga warrior, then it seems that you should meet a scout released by the Naga Legion, in fact, you can say lucky, because I others say that if you run into a Naga warrior, you will either kill him or be killed by him, because there is no other choice."
"It seems that I am really blessed by the God of Light." Ruby said self-deprecatingly, and then continued to ask the soldier of the Divine Light Empire in front of him, "What about after that?" Where did the Naga warriors go after they captured the military port area? Is it a straight shot at the Dawn Lighthouse? ”
"It would be nice if that was the case." The soldier continued to smile bitterly and said: "After receiving the news of the appearance of the Naga warriors, our Divine Light Empire has expanded and established fortifications on both sides with the Dawn Lighthouse as the center, if the Naga warriors really come, even if they can break through the defense line we have established, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, but these Naga warriors rely on the cover of artillery fire, scatter and start to seize other port areas, you were on the front line before, you should know that although the military port is the focus of the long-range equipment of the Sunset Fleet, However, the surrounding civilian ports were also hit, so the remaining troops were very limited, and those Naga warriors took advantage of this to eliminate the 37th and 45th Legions that were scattered and were guarding the civilian areas and organizing the evacuation of civilians, and even those civilians who had not been evacuated......... No way, this is war. ”
"And then?" Perhaps he had long known what happened to the civilians in Mingyong Harbor, and Ruby chose to ignore the news about the civilians, after all, he was a soldier. He was also a petty officer with a certain amount of power to command soldiers in battle, and he knew that he could not let anger blind his mind now, because he still had to fight on the front line.
"And then? Haven't you already understood everything that followed? Because the rear soldiers did not advance in time, but organized fortifications. The troops on the front line did not receive corresponding support, so the rest of the port area also fell, although the intelligence of our army can no longer involve the port area, but now anyone who is not a fool knows that those Naga warriors have probably begun to enjoy the fun of slaughter, and there are signs that these Naga warriors not only slaughtered our people, but also began to collect materials piled up on the port area. On top of that, it is said that several light warships of the Sunset Fleet have already begun to move towards the port area of Port Saint-Light, and then we can only .........."
"You're not an ordinary soldier, are you?" Suddenly. Ruby stood up vigorously and said to the Divine Light Empire soldier in front of him, "You are not an ordinary soldier, it is impossible for an ordinary soldier to know so much, and the most important thing is that. Although there were 200,000 defenders stationed in Port of Saint-Light. But 150,000 of them are militiamen, and they don't know about these things, as long as they can or come down, they can escape or surrender if necessary, and the same goes for the officers of those militia units, and as for the remaining 34th, 37th, 45th, 47th, and 52nd legions, you obviously won't die members of the 34th, 37th, and 5th legions, and if you can know so much, you must be a member of the 47th or 52nd legions. And since you have so much information, you have at least a bigger position than me. Even more than my boss, you were at least a commander officer before, for what? For what will you become a soldier? ”
"Hey......." After a long sigh, the "knowledgeable" soldier of the Divine Light Empire said, "Quite simply, I opposed the commander-in-chief's decision, and in the process of opposing it, I acted excessively, and in the end I was subdued by the commander-in-chief's guards, so I was removed from my position and sent here to guard the rear. ”
"And who are?" Ruby's face immediately showed a very serious expression: Ruby is not a fool, on the contrary, he can climb from a stunned young man who doesn't know anything to the position of centurion now, in addition to having the necessary ability, the most important thing is to know how to survive in the officialdom, in Ruby's opinion, since the so-called soldier in front of him can oppose the decision of the so-called commander-in-chief on his side in person, and after the excess, he will not be used to make an example of the monkey but just depreciate to a soldier, obviously the identity of this guy in front of him is definitely not small, And this also made Ruby more convinced of the original identity of the guy in front of him, which was definitely not small, and it was several grades higher than that of the commander.
"Me? Actually, I'm .........." But before the soldier could finish speaking, the conversation between the two was interrupted by the sound of footsteps - at a corner of the sewer, an officer of the rank of commander with a ticket of soldiers suddenly appeared here, and strode towards Ruby and the soldier, and in the process, Ruby found that although the soldiers and officers walked with great momentum, the chaotic footsteps revealed the anxiety in their hearts.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander." After the commander and his little brother came over, they immediately knelt down on one knee and said to the soldier in front of them, and even the rupee heard a hint of pleading in his tone: "Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Deputy Commander has died, and now the 52nd Legion is unstable, the commander-in-chief sent me to ask you to go back and continue to serve as the commander of the 52nd Legion, the commander-in-chief said, please also go back to help him under the millions of innocent lives in the Holy Light Harbor, and at the same time, the commander-in-chief said that as long as there is a chance, He would definitely let the 52nd Regiment counterattack to recapture the port and rescue the comrades of the 34th, 37th, and 45th Legions. ”
"Go back? I don't think he's telling me to go back, and what's the use of taking back the port area now? The soldier said angrily, but in the end, the soldier still sighed and said to the commander in front of him: "If he didn't need to listen to the stupid words of the 47th Legion, it is estimated that now we can at least have 10,000 more combat power, then we will not be so passive, but what he told you to pass on is right, if I don't go, not only the people in the port area, but the entire people in the Holy Light Port will die, okay, I know, I'll go back, but I want to take this guy with me." ”
"Me?" Ruby pointed to himself and said to the soldier with a puzzled expression, and the commander and his little brother were also very puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Commander?" Who is he? ”
"You say him? Didn't you say before that my deputy head was dead? Then he will be the next deputy commander of the 53 Corps. ”
“……… What the? Ruby and the Commander exclaimed in unison. (To be continued......)
