Chapter 137: Familiar and Strange People(1/2)
Warm, spacious, with a little shiny inside the armored vehicle.
A soldier in military uniform and looking quite high in military rank looked at the girl and said calmly.
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Tegula.
The enemy should be still dozens of kilometers away. We still have plenty of time to discuss according to the enemy's marching speed.
As you think, Clock City has no support, there is a traitor in the Imperial City, and our news has not been passed on.
We have been locked by the enemy's magic beasts. Within fifty kilometers, after the bonus of Hawkeye, they can hit almost any corner of the city.
After two thousand kilometers of escape, we have lost all the strength to confront it.
Similarly, our retreat has been closed unless we walk into the city alley of Clock City.
But the alleys of Clock City were built to deal with wars, and they were deliberately built in complexity and difficult to do.
It was even more strange under the fog. People who were not here did not know how to walk.
Before we walk out of these alleys, we will definitely be discovered by their Hawkeye technique.
Even if you walk out of the alley, the army you have passed by is stationed thirty kilometers away.
We who lost our vehicle have no chance of escaping."
He faced the two of them, sat upright and said seriously.
"The escape of two thousand kilometers has reached its end. The Imperial soldiers, at the moment they joined the army and made an oath, were ready to ascend to heaven.
But your life is related to the future of our entire empire.”
He lowered his head and his voice was deep.
"Surrendering to the enemy is an unbearable humiliation, but for the future of the entire empire, dignity is not unavailable.
The enemy did not fire this luminous cannon at the convoy, which means that what they wanted was to capture you alive. As long as they were alive, there would still be hope.
At that time, I will wash away the shame with my own blood."
The princess they said was wearing a black raincoat. The windproof effect allowed her to keep her warm as much as possible in this cold land, but even so, the raincoat still couldn't hide the special temperament of the orchid in the valley.
The entire carriage was in a strange silence, and the princess's eyes remained calm, as if she was a model who would never change in the cabinet and would never change in youth.
"Please raise your head, Knight."
The soldier raised his head.
The soft voice of the princess sounded, and the sound like the first spring rain in early spring was filled with a strong sense of resilience.
"Since the split of the empire, the war has lasted for a hundred years.
We have experienced crisis after crisis, and the remnants of the Eternal Night rages on the land of the Kiddog Empire.
One city after another was transformed into ruins, and one army after another was crushed into pieces by the torrent of war.
But we have never feared it. The bones of each of us, Kiddog Empire, are portrayed with resistance and fearlessness.
Just as the Lionheart Emperor led the people to overthrow the powerful and immortal King of Eternal Night hundreds of years ago.
Knight, you have been fighting against the enemy on the front line for the past ten years, and you should be very familiar with the wars that the empire has fought.
I ask you, have you ever heard that even if there is a war, it ends with the surrender of the empire?"
The soldier's body shook, and a large amount of blood surged onto his face, causing his cheeks to flush with shame.
He lowered his head deeply and shouted, "Please forgive my weakness, Your Highness!"
"High up your chest and look straight at me!"
The princess's voice was filled with a hint of harshness.
The soldier raised his head with a red face.
"Knight, I see everything you do for two thousand kilometers.
Blood and bullets embedded in your sternum are all decorations on your medals.
No need to feel ashamed, you defended the dignity of the king!”
"Your Highness..." The soldier looked at the woman in emotion.
"Straighten your backbone and never let it bend, that is also the backbone of my empire!"
The soldier clenched his fists, hammered his chest heavily, and responded vigorously.
"I will defend it to the death!
Follow your will, Your Highness, this is also my honor.
Let Noah of Light, and the hateful foreign soldiers, see the courage of our empire!”
"No, we can't die."
At this time, the old man beside him spoke. It was Mr. Tegula who had just spoken by the soldiers.
It was an old man with gray hair, with half-length hair casually scattered behind his head, but his beard was not enough. Although he was already old, the outline could still vaguely see the outstanding faces of many women when he was young.
The soldiers and the princess were both stunned.
“It’s not time to give up yet, the empire’s army is still bleeding, and their wives and children are waiting for them to return home.
The entire empire was looking forward to someone who could lead them to win this war.
Alicia, you are the one who has the most hope to draw out the King's Sword and obtain Noah's artifact in hundreds of years.
Only you can be our hope.”
Alicia frowned, "So, what do you mean?"
"Escape and enter the alley of Clock City."
"That's meaningless!" said the soldier, "Based on my years of experience in fighting them, at this moment, they must have sent a large number of enemy troops in the alleys, and they may encounter them at any time!
Even if you escape from the alley, how do you plan to escape from the Clock City?"
"Never give up any hope, it is also the iron rule engraved on the Lion Monument!" said Tegulali.
A glimmer flashed in the soldiers' eyes and a low voice, "I understand."
As he said that, he took off the walkie-talkie from one side and took a deep breath.
"The princess will escape into the alleyway, and escape the enemy's pursuit through the complexity of the alleyways and the fog of the clock city.
But the enemy's Hawkeye technique will discover the position of the princess in a short period of time.
We have to attract Hawkeye locks.
Therefore, in the name of the empire, all the remaining guards!”
The soldier paused for a moment, his voice calm but extremely firm.
“Be prepared for sacrifice.”
The heavy rain poured down like blood, coldening the body and mind.
After a brief silence, a voice without hesitation came from the voice.
"Abide by the order!"
The soldier slowly raised the corners of his mouth and looked into the distance through the window.
"My brothers, my comrades, my fellow countrymen!
Noah's glory shines in the sky, and we will eventually enter the holy court of the brave!!"
He did not talk to the princess again.
Tegula opened the car door and pulled the princess into the alley.
The princess looked at the convoy left behind him with some hesitation.
"Don't look back, Your Highness."
Tegula said in a deep voice while pulling the princess.
“Clock City has no supportive army.
This shows that the spies in the Imperial City have cooperated with the enemy country.
The alley must have been covered with enemies.
The closest one is perhaps only a few hundred meters away from us.
They may be expecting us to abandon the strong armored vehicles like war fortresses and enter the laneway.
But while the fog obscures our vision, it also obscures the enemy's vision.
The only gap between us and them is Hawkeye.
There are only one magician in a million, and almost all of them are on the front line, so there will definitely be no more than one magician to pursue.
The fog also obscures the clarity of Hawkeye.
If our large army follows you together, we will definitely be instantly locked by Hawkeye.
To be continued...
