Chapter 302: typical
"I thought the duke would wait until the catapult became violent before he was forced to organize a death squad to destroy it, but I didn't expect him to do it now." Walking silently in the narrow tunnel, Panda said on the chat channel, "It's really amazing. Exceeded my expectations!"
"After all, he is also one of the supreme rulers of the Federation, and he still has a lot of capable people under his command." Skye said, "If you really wait for the catapult to show its power, then the morale loss will be huge. It is better to be the first to do it, no matter whether it is successful or not, All in all, it was the best effort.”
Sean said, "What do you think about this Duke... what is his ability?"
"Who knows? He doesn't show much in the game plot anyway." Panda replied, "In the game, Norma's line of defense fell, and his whole family was killed by the slaughter, and there was no follow-up."
"It's unimaginable... This majestic fortress, these soldiers who fought for many days, and two marquis and a duke... all died..." Sean seemed to be a little sentimental, shaking his head and said, "Hopefully this time, we can change their fate."
"Their fate has changed." Panda said, "Even if we fail this operation, even if the Norma line of defense cannot be held, at most it will be a defeat. It will never be annihilated by tens of thousands of troops like in the game, let alone. There will be massacres in the Norma region of the game."
A smile suddenly appeared on Sean's face: "So, our actions are just?"
"Justice?" Through the chat channel, I can also feel the irony of Knight Huck, "How can there be justice in war!"
"Why is it unjust to resist aggression?" Sean asked rhetorically.
"Why do you care so much about 'justice'?" Skye asked.
Sean was silent for a while and said, "I'm a soldier, and for me, fighting for justice is the foundation of my life..."
"Isn't the duty of a soldier to obey orders? I remember a saying, 'The army has a mind, and it is a great harm to the country,' right?" Knighthacker said.
"The army doesn't need thinking, but the soldier needs it." Sean replied immediately, "A soldier must understand why he is fighting and be able to believe that he is standing on a righteous stand, so that he can exert his full strength. Those so-called The saying that "soldiers are just weapons and don't need thinking" is just a layman's take for granted. Why can our country's soldiers be able to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, always rush to the most dangerous places at the first time, and the troops of other countries will do Why not? Why when disaster strikes, our soldiers scramble to give, sacrifice, and sacrifice, while other countries’ troops have to wait for orders before they set off reluctantly? When it comes to equipment, we Not better than them; they're not worse than us in terms of training. The real difference between them is the mind. We have the mind and they don't."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Panda asked in surprise.
"It's such an exaggeration! In fact, the armies of all countries in the world, at least the armies of those powerful countries, are striving to strengthen ideological education. But what can really do well is to convince the soldiers that they are fighting for justice for the people. , only us!" Sean said solemnly, "I care a lot about whether to fight for justice and whether to fight for the people. This is the foundation of me as a soldier!"
"Have you retired from the army..."
"Although I have taken off my military uniform, I will always be a soldier!"
Nekhart, who had been raising the bar, finally had nothing to say. At this time, Yuneruo, who was silently listening to the side, finally opened his mouth. Because of the lack of magic power, he only said three words.
"well said!"
"Well said!" Panda said the same, thumbs up.
"Well said, well said, but the battle still has to be won." Skye turned around and found another topic, "I really didn't expect that there would be tunnels under the Norma line of defense... "
"This is probably the biggest secret of Norma's defense line, maybe only the Duke of Norma knows it." Panda said, "I don't know if you have noticed, there is a thick layer of dust on the ground here, and it can be seen that no one has cleaned it for a long time. .I even doubt that we were the only ones passing through here from when it was built until now."
"Maybe... This at least means that it is concealed enough to reassure us."
"Well, if there is no such tunnel, our death squad will be a death squad. With this tunnel, it can be called an 'adventure', not a 'sent to death'."
At this moment, Yunero suddenly raised his hand, and everyone stopped immediately.
This was negotiated before departure. No matter who it is, as long as he hears the wind and grass and raises his hand, everyone will stop immediately and be alert in place.
Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Yunero walked to a corner and looked down for a while.
Then, he said in a very low voice: "Someone came here not long ago, and it was a thief."
Everyone was awe-inspiring. There may be many of them who are illiterate, but there is absolutely not even a fool. In this secret tunnel, a thief came not long ago, no matter how you look at it, it will not be good news.
"What should I do?" a strong man asked in a low voice that didn't match his appearance.
"This is the end of the matter, we can only go forward and not retreat!" Panda said: "It is impossible to turn back. Apart from moving forward, smashing the catapult, and building the two gold coin fortress together, we have no other way to go!"
"Perhaps we were overthinking it." A big man with a golden beard touched the magic sword he had just obtained, and his eyes were thoughtful, "If the Thracians discovered this tunnel, they would have fought long ago. Over here. These traces may have been left by our scouts."
Everyone nodded, and some of the worries and unease they had raised because of the traces of someone coming were also forcibly thrown away by them.
No matter whether his guess is right or wrong, as "Mr. Xiong" said, at this point, there is no choice. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you can only bite the bullet and break through, try your best to break through it!
They are all first-class warriors. Each of them has killed a lot of elite Thracian soldiers. More than a dozen people have joined forces. As long as they move faster, there is still a great chance of success.
After making up their minds, everyone moved on, even faster than before.
Anyway, if it might be exposed, then everyone has already been exposed. Instead of being cautious, it is better to speed up the pace. Maybe you can play fast and slow, and take the lead!
The messy and hurried footsteps echoed in the tunnel, just like everyone's anxious mood.
At the entrance of the tunnel, the middle-aged man looked worriedly at the dark tunnel, his face full of unease.
"Can they make it?" he asked.
The officer next to him was silent. From a rational point of view, he felt that this group of death squads were just to die; but for some reason, his intuition told him that those people had great hope of success.
Finally, he sighed and said, "If they don't succeed, we'll have to retreat."
"Retreat...the gold coin defense line is lost."
"We also have a silver coin defense line, and a copper coin defense line."
"The Thracians can build a giant catapult once, or a second time, a third time..."
In the silence, only the sigh of the middle-aged man echoed.
"Right now, we can only hope that they will succeed."
