Chapter 468

The midday sun was so dazzling that even in autumn, the defenders on the city wall still sweated slightly on their foreheads.

The sentinel mood of sunset pass is low, because the orc king has sent a special envoy and given an ultimatum this morning.

If you haven't seen the Terran mission by sunset today, they will attack the city.

In their eyes, the orcs are very upright, so this information puts great pressure on them.

When the orcs say they want to fight, it's not bluffing, but they really want to fight.

This sudden announcement made the garrison spirit of sunset pass tense to the extreme.

Even in the morning, there were many deserters. Some were found and caught by the war warden and dealt with by military law. Some were lucky to escape and were not caught.

At noon, there are only 95000 troops left in the sunset pass

The panic is still spreading. After all, no one wants to die.

In the Council hall in the city, a middle-aged man wore armor and looked gloomy.

He is the head of the West regiment of sunset pass town and the Supreme Commander here, Breus Count Campbell.

"Hasn't the imperial mission arrived yet?"

Breus asked his adjutant, but he didn't hope.

Because the western border is far from the capital of the king, at the speed of the general mission, it will take at least half a month to arrive. After all, the mission pays attention to the guard of honor. At this time, it is only three days from the departure of the mission.

It was said that the Duke of Godzilla came this time. He originally thought that the king of kusra played well this time. As he took refuge in the throne of the king of kusra in the early stage, he was a little schadenfreude for the Duke of Godzilla to take such a job.

But this mood did not exist at this time. With the sudden announcement of the orc king, they were forced to the front of the blade. Now he just hopes that the Duke of Godzilla can hurry up and hope that a miracle will happen, and the other party can arrive today.

If the other party can't arrive immediately, he can't laugh. When the orc army attacks the city, he can't escape as the army head, but die in battle.

Mainly, he didn't expect that the orcs would suddenly give an ultimatum. It was said that the Empire would reply before winter.

With the passage of time, the changed defenders have polished their swords, made psychological preparations, and looked at the army that the orcs began to assemble.

Once the sunset at sunset pass looked so beautiful in their eyes, but now they see the sun slanting westward, but they yearn for it to fall later.

Under the influence of five hundred years of abyss war culture, even the soldiers with few wars in the West are not all cowards. They are prepared to fight to the death, but they are afraid that they will die worthless.

Because their 100000 troops can't stop the orcs from attacking the city. Once the sunset pass is broken, several provinces in the West will be fully looted by the orcs. It will be a river of blood and the loss can't be estimated.

Some soldiers have been dissatisfied with king kusra's indecision and believe that the current tension is entirely caused by the king's inaction.

If we want to fight, we should send more troops in advance. If there is peace talks, we should also send people early.

But you haven't moved. Will being an orc wait honestly all the time?

Some soldiers with flexible minds have even produced bad conjectures.

They suddenly realized that even if the Duke of Godzilla could hurry, he could... Not come.

Anyone with a brain can see that the Empire sent Duke Godzilla to negotiate this time is to push him out of the pot.

This kind of thing seems to have no solution, but it actually has a solution.

That is... He didn't catch up at all!

With the distance between the king's capital and the west, it's normal that the Duke of Godzilla didn't arrive for three days. At this time, the orc army broke the city and had nothing to do with the Duke of Godzilla.

The sunset pass was broken and the three provinces in the West were looted. The responsibility returned to the king of kusra. It was not the Duke of gosra's reputation that was damaged, but the king's!

When the soldier told the news to his companions, it soon spread in the army, and the soldiers were nervous.

Yes, the Duke of Godzilla received the news. Even if he was able to arrive in time, he didn't have to come at all.

It's better to say that this is the best situation for the Duke of Godzilla. Once the western border is broken, the king of kusra will curse on his back, and no one can use it under the imperial crisis. The Duke of Godzilla will stand up and cheer up. Even those ministers who were loyal to the king will change their minds?

If the orc army were more greedy and fought inland, and the inland army lost one after another, the return of the Duke of Godzilla would be almost inevitable.

Having figured this out, the soldiers of the Zhenxi Legion were a little desperate.

"Why, if I die here today, I'll curse being a ghost..."

A veteran vomited and looked at the falling sun and the orc army.

Before he finished scolding, his colleagues covered his mouth. "Old GuLun, be careful. Some words can't be said indiscriminately."

He also wanted to scold the stupid gentleman, but if things turned around and they didn't die today, they wouldn't come to a good end if this word was heard and spread by others.

"Oh, you want me to say that the internal struggle of the royal family is completely unnecessary. The Duke has always kept his word. Anyway, he won't kill the king. What's the fear of the king?"

The veteran sneered and thought that Wang Du's internal fight was really stupid.

"We don't understand what's going on, but I'm afraid we'll have to fight."

The younger soldier looked at the slowly advancing Orc Legion in the distance and clenched his sword.

"It seems that the Duke of Godzilla will not come, either. Why should I come out to carry the pot?"

A soldier not far away echoed, "in reason, it is estimated that no one will miss the opportunity to regain power..."

"Alas... But I still hope the Duke can come, so that at least we can not die."

There were also soldiers sighing.

At this time, the commander of the bruusian army went up to the city with a serious look, "do you want to cheer me up? Wait for someone to save you? Are you all cowards!?"

Bulius stepped on the bow and arrow mouth of the city wall with one foot and spit. His face was fierce. He looked at the defenders behind him, "they haven't run until now. Good job."

He patted himself on the chest. "I'm not afraid of the jokes of my brothers. I'm a dog of King kusra. I got my current position by clinging to the dignitaries. I know some brothers are not satisfied."

His voice turned, "but why do we cling to dignitaries? Not to be a military commander? What's the purpose of being a military commander? Not to fight."

He mentioned the knight's epee that had not yet been scabbard in his hand, "I'm king kusra's dog. Don't laugh. You're special, but we're still the dog of the Empire and the watchdog of the west of the Empire. Today's battle, I didn't fight for king kusra, but for the people in the West."

His voice seemed to be full of blood and his eyes scanned the whole army. "The defenders of the Great Wall always look down on us. I'm afraid we'll all die here today. We can't compete with them again, but we should let the people of the Empire understand, the people of the Great Wall understand and the people of the world understand."

He pulled out the knight's epee. "Even dogs want to guard their own door!"

The long sword of Breus Corps pointed to the orc Corps that had entered the canyon and roared: "special mother, dare you die here with me today!"

"Sir, why do you look so pleasant today?"

A thousand horseman smiled and took down the heavy bow behind him.

"Pixar, what are you capable of today? Don't die today. I'll take care of you later."

The commander of the brigades Corps laughed and scolded, then raised his hand, "the archers are in place, and the crossbow soldiers begin to load!"

The soldiers of the Zhenxi Legion looked solemn one by one, and the blood in their hearts was boiling.

From the day you join the army, you should be ready to die in battle.

When the orc army approached ten miles and the battle was imminent, a loud male voice sounded.

"Breus, you're a soldier."

The sound was full of breath and echoed in the whole sunset pass.

Breus felt that the voice was familiar. He immediately turned back and rushed to the back of the city wall. He saw a man walking on foot, and the dark cloak fluttered in the wind.

"Duke of Godzilla!"

He didn't know whether to be surprised or uncomfortable.

Obviously, he was just ready to die in battle. He also thought that the other party, as a smart man, should not come over.

But the other party... Came.

Lu Chen walked on foot to the gate and said to the nervous soldiers, "open the gate."

"But... The orcs are going to attack the city."

The soldier in charge of the city gate fortification hesitated.

"The sun hasn't set yet. I'm going to negotiate."

Lu Chen personally raised his hand and patted the heavy wood against the gate. The gate opened. He walked out without delay.

At this time, the garrison in front of the wall also saw his figure, showing surprise and puzzled expression one after another.

They never expected that the Duke of Godzilla actually came, which was the worst way for him.

Lu Chen received the news through the magic crystal half a day ago. At that time, he knew that this was actually a good opportunity.

As the soldiers thought, it was not a crime for him not to arrive. After all, he had just set out, which was the negligence of King kusra's indecision and delay.

If the western border is broken and the orc army marches in, it is really easy for him to force king kusra to restore military power for him.

The forbidden guards in the imperial city are the only army that can be mobilized temporarily. In fact, the leader of the forbidden guards has no experience in large-scale combat with the army. Under the same strength, he can't stop the orc army at all.

At this time, we need legendary generals with prestige and ability to turn the tide. Even the ministers of the royal capital will advise, because they... Are afraid of death.

Who can guarantee that the orc king will not directly attack the king's capital and let the orcs occupy more fertile land after he has tasted the sweetness?

Terrans guarding the border?

Use this chip to test the morality of foreigners?

Even Lu Chen knows that this kind of thing is unreliable. After all, this kind of thing has not happened in the history he is familiar with.

Just like the army of yin and Shang Dynasties resisting the barbarians of Dongyi, King Wu of Zhou didn't drive straight in with the army and take the elder brother of Chao. Who will tell you these moral principles in the face of interests and the world?

As for the Barbarians (abyss), I'll fight by myself when I settle down.

So this is indeed a good opportunity for Lu Chen to restore his military power, but he weighed it over and over again and chose to come.

And they abandoned their mounts and rushed to the army with their own strength.

Still, I can't get through the trouble in my heart.

He had entered the west last night and didn't stop at the post station. Because he was in a hurry, he finally settled in a village.

He still remembered the innocent smiles of the children there, and the respect and expectations of the old man for himself.

People don't know much. They think Duke Godzilla is here to save them. As long as Duke Godzilla talks to stabilize the situation, the West will be safe.

So the local villagers, although they were not very full, entertained themselves in luxury.

Before he left early in the morning, the simple villagers also said they hoped that good nobles like the Duke of Godzilla could regain the power of the Empire.

The shy little girl in the village also gave herself a wreath, and the old woman wrapped herself an early baked cake.

If he doesn't come, he will have the chance to restore military power as soon as possible.

But... If he doesn't come, he will no longer be Lu Chen who once shed blood to protect the country and the people.

He felt guilty for his game mentality when he first came to the world.

These... Are all living people!

They will cry and laugh, they will be happy and sad, they just want to live in these hard days.

So he rushed to the sunset pass and heard the words of the commander of the bruusian army.

He laughed when the defenders didn't see it.

It turns out that regardless of position, soldiers are always soldiers when their family and country live or die.

Stay in the sunset pass. Those who hold weapons are not cowards, but good men.

They should not die so meaninglessly, and this kind of war of internal friction in the mainland should not rise.

He wants to end... This farce.

The setting sun, like blood, fell from the peaks on both sides and sprinkled on the man's shoulders.

The wind and clouds surged, and the man's cloak rustled.

He went to the 300000 Orc army alone.

But he was alone, his indomitable will was like an army.

The sun finally fell completely and night fell.

The soldiers of Zhenxi army on the city wall were stunned for a moment and were impressed by the other party's spirit and mind.

The man's breath fills between the two mountains. He stands in the dark, like the rising sun!

"This is the Duke of Godzilla... The guardian of mankind."

A soldier murmured. I'm afraid he will never forget this scene in his life.

He finally understood why the defenders of the great wall were so determined to follow this man. There was a kind of man. It would be your honor to let him take off on his own shoulders.

It is a man's lifelong glory to die by his side.

In the end, the Duke violated common sense and gave up his personal future and interests only to save the people in the West.

On the flat ground in the mountains, thousands of flames gradually rose, like a prairie fire, illuminating the orc Legion and the magnificent figure riding on the dragon scale tiger.

The orc king looked at the man not far ahead, grinned and laughed.

Is this the Duke of Godzilla!
