Chapter 517： Tears

"General!" The adjutant handed a report to Lawnes, who was standing on the side of the ship all the time, and reported the latest battle situation: "The f/a-18 attack aircraft has been ordered to be 10 kilometers away from Shakburn. The place has attacked the retreating demons. The opponent has indeed given up Shakeben, and the scale of battle in the city is shrinking a little."

"How is the situation on the Aranuk side?" Lawnes knew that his fleet had cleared the demon fleet around Shakburn, and the reconnaissance plane also reported the sinking of the enemy warship.

According to the pre-planned plan, the two destroyers are trying to clean up the periphery of the port. They must confirm a safe channel, and then allow them to leave the main aircraft carrier fleet and be protected by two other destroyers. The transport fleet preparing to call at the port can approach the dock. Ship more refugees.

"The Aranuk has called. There are more than 1,300 refugees who have boarded the ship." The adjutant replied depressedly with a number that he could not believe. According to the carrying capacity of the two hovercraft, plus dozens of them. It is impossible for the Uh-60 and several h-47 helicopters to return only more than 1,300 refugees.

Therefore, the greatest possibility of this happening is that there are not many human beings alive that can be rescued in Shakeben.

"..." Lawnes did not speak, he naturally heard the extraneous sound of this report. The captain of the battleship Intrepid standing not far away, clenched his fist and cursed: "These **** demons!"

"Damn it!" Hearing the curse, the adjutant said, "We shouldn't let one go! It's a pity...the previous mission analysis was wrong, and we didn't prepare enough troops."

This matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Navy’s staff. In fact, the main purpose of Ailan Hill’s navy going south this time is to block the demon’s maritime transport and oppress the remaining demon naval fleet.

The city lord of Shakburn, the old Earl Roysaac, who had been killed on the wall, sent a fleet of sailing ships to ask for help, but only arrived at the Port of Paston, which was originally part of the Balmer Empire.

Fortunately, they encountered the Alan Hill fleet going south in Port of Paston, and this fleet happened to not carry a large number of landing troops.

Those transport ships were used to transport materials, and the navy fleet was just ordered to cover the fleet along the way. As for the amphibious landing ship, it is actually responsible for transporting naval military equipment and restoring part of the port functions of the Port of Paston.

After learning that Shakeben needed rescue, the navy changed the combat order of the fleet in the spirit of rescuing civilians. This led to the only battalion of marines and went south to rescue refugees from the southern kingdom.

Temporary drafting of the combat plan is still in the newly occupied port to the south, and the troops are obviously insufficient to be able to do what it is now. In fact, it is very difficult.

"It's not to blame the staff for this...or else we won't get the landing forces. Are we going to bring the army over? In the landing battle?" Lawnes defended the naval staff officers before continuing. Said: "In this situation, there is no way to prevent the opponent from fleeing. As many as can be eliminated, let's eliminate as many as possible!"

The adjutant is also helpless, they are powerless now, they really can only watch the demon army who committed the heinous crime pull away and leave.

This feels absolutely uncomfortable, at least the naval commanders on the bridge feel that there is something stuck in their hearts.

…

On the ground, the last demon dog that did not escape fell into a pool of black blood. It screamed sternly, and there was no horror and violence in its voice.

The Ailan Hill soldier with a weapon walked step by step in front of his prey, and shot a deadly bullet against the squalid eyes and sharp fangs.

Although the devil dog was thick, a hole was punched out of its skin that could not stop the bullet. The last trace of strength slipped away from the hole, the devil dog's head dropped, and there was no more sound.

"A team of three! Set up a guard zone nearby! Let the Shakerben City Guards find survivors!" Commanders who are unwilling to expose their troops to danger because they are worried about the demons hiding in the building , And found a new job for the Shakeben City Guards they had just collected.

Before it was known whether there were any remaining demons in the city, these almost unarmed Shakeben soldiers were scattered. They are going to find the survivors who may still exist, or find the surviving demons...

The company commander of Company A is ordering his three platoon commanders to set up the defense line on the wall of his flank, and establish a higher and safer position with a relatively better view there.

When he raised his head again, he saw that the Shakerben City Guards who had gone out to search for refugees had returned.

These city guards, who volunteered to find survivors, brought back about 1,000 desperate civilians, as well as about 100 city guard soldiers, which can be said to be quite rewarding.

However, these soldiers were very low, and the commander headed by them disappeared. When a strong city guard soldier walked in front of company A, the company commander recognized the gun he sent out.

The other party handed the pistol that had been shot out and hanged up in the empty warehouse to the company commander of company A. When he spoke, he was already in tears: "Captain Camille... is dead. When he was dying, he asked me to let me. Give this pistol back to you."

"..." Without speaking, he took the pistol from the opponent's hand, replaced it with a magazine, and pushed the sleeve on, the company commander of company A inserted the pistol back into the holster on his waist and stretched out his hand. He patted the other person on the shoulder: "You are all good! Go and rest!"

"Sir... I think... If you are willing to take me in, I am willing to join the army of Ailan Hill! I want to fight, I want to take revenge, for our Captain Camille, and for all the dead here..." The brawny man He cried faintly, and said in a vague voice.

"I understand your feelings, but I can't take you in." The company commander of Company A replied embarrassedly: "You will be sent to Paston. When you get there, you will be settled down. After that, you will enjoy the benefits of several levels of citizenship. There are regulations on treatment, whether you have the right to join the army, and it’s not what I can say."

The other party's eyes widened, wondering if what the officer in front of him said was true or false. You know, in these old empires, people who volunteered to join the army were rare. If there is a man like him who is so powerful and capable of swordsmanship who is willing to join the army, the military is very willing to take it in.

But now, listening to what the other party said, it seems that not everyone has the qualifications to join the army in the once-distant Alanhill Empire, it seems that it has nothing to do with combat skills.

In fact, it really doesn't matter, because Ailan Hill is undergoing large-scale disarmament, and the troops are not recruiting much now, let alone finding some surrendered soldiers to enter.

In addition, Ailan Hill now recruits soldiers mainly for loyalty. The priority is for first-class citizens in the core area, and the worst is second-class and above citizens. It is impossible for the guys who have just been incorporated in front of them who are not even third-class citizens to be enlisted directly into the army.

"Go to Paston with peace of mind! If you really want to join the army, you can wait until your identity is settled." The company commander of Company A comforted: "If you really trust me, listen to me, and let me You join Ailan Hill, don't hesitate."

As he said, he lit himself a cigarette, took a sip and looked at the refugees in the distance who had already started queuing towards the port, and said: "A person can be born in Ailan Hill for the rest of his life. ."

"I understand." The strong man nodded and said: "I only heard that Ailan Hill was great before. I saw you today...I know, we have been deceived, and we should not be enslaved by demons! We are humans, If it is a human being, it should be on Ailan Hill's side!"

"No one can enslave Ailan Hill!" The company commander of Company A stretched out his hand again and slapped the other's shoulder: "One day, we will kill the high-level demons, trample them under their feet, and burn them. Cities, destroy their world!"

Hearing what seemed to be an oath, and what seemed to be a dream, the eyes of the Shakeben City Guards lit up. He had never felt this way before, and the words of the Ailan Hill officer in front of him filled him with power.

"You are a brave person. In Ailan Hill, brave people should live more!" The company commander of company A knew that the opponent was the first to raise his hand and was determined to find survivors, so he said : "You take people to maintain the order of those refugees!"

As he said, he handed him a card, which was beautifully printed and had a plastic protective film, which looked very high-end. Of course, the people of Shakeben wouldn't know that this was not something profound, it was just a postcard sold inside the army.

Because letters are sometimes delayed, the army only issues such postcards once a month to write the phrases sent home. According to the month above, it can be distinguished from which month the card is.

The man accepted the postcard, but didn't turn around and leave: "I want to take someone out to have a look. Maybe... more survivors can be found..."

"Okay." This time, the company commander of company A, who was more satisfied with the opponent, nodded. If it wasn't that he really didn't have the authority, he really wanted to pull the opponent into the company he commanded. It would look good to have such a subordinate: "Be careful!"

While talking, he took out his own gun and handed it to the other party: "Maybe I said it last time, maybe I didn't. However, you are under my command for the time being. Please remember my order, soldier! You, You must personally return this gun to me! Understand?"

"Yes!" Slightly clumsy, the brawny man followed Ailan Hill's military salute, stood up and waved his hand, his chin held up, his eyes filled with excitement and tears.
