"Backwards" Ruhl sat on his horse, holding the battle report from the front line sent by the herald in his hand.
Well, if you win the battle and retreat, this Adric, you also feel that something is wrong.
Ruhl rubbed his fat face vigorously, crumpling the fat on his face into a ball, and the subordinates next to him were already surprised to see the general's movements.
As an infantry corps, Ruhl's troops did not move north quickly, and his troops were also responsible for carrying large quantities of baggage, military rations, grass, and other supplies.
The officers and men of the Sixth Corps are not in a hurry to rush to the front line, and the so-called generals are the courage of the army, and the character of a commander often leaves a deep imprint on the army he commands, so the style of the Sixth Corps has never been an iron army like the 13th Corps.
In fact, during this expedition to the north, General Ruhr has always had a deep worry in his heart, which is a peculiar sense that he himself is born with, and every time he encounters danger, this feeling is particularly strong.
Ruhl has been in the army for many years and has been in many battles, and every time he has escaped safely in danger, more than half of it is due to his strange and keen sensibility.
And this time to the north, with each step forward, the feeling of danger became more and more intense, so strong that in such a cold weather, the fat man was covered in cold sweat, and the cotton robe lined in the armor was soaked with sweat.
Ruhl pondered for a while and made a decision: "Gather all the war horses of our corps, as well as the scout battalion, let the flag regiment in the back leave a thousand people to form a mixed rear team, break away from the large army and slowly advance behind, remember to always keep a day's distance from our home team, don't get too close, and don't fall too far" After giving the order, the rabbit general sighed, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "I hope Lao Tzu's hunch this time is also correct." ” As he spoke, he touched the fat on his face, and scolded with a smile: "Hastings can't kill me, this time the generals led by Odin, are they even more powerful than Hastings?"
The 13th Corps is one of the most elite corps in the Empire, and after Adric gave the order to retreat, the soldiers resolutely carried out the order, although they had some doubts in their hearts.
After regrouping, the 13th Corps quickly broke away from the battlefield and retreated along the flat plains, with General Adric personally leading a banner regiment in the rear to prevent the pursuit of the Odins.
The distance of ten miles is not close, but it is not far, but it is just a meal, and it quickly arrived at the designated assembly place at the speed of cavalry.
Sosia, a fierce general accustomed to charging with heavy cavalry, was still dissatisfied, and after regrouping, he couldn't help but run to Adric to complain.
"General, I really don't understand, since we won, even if we don't venture into the valley, at least we can stay in the valley and nail this Odin army there, why?"
Adric was sitting on his horse and eating dinner, he swallowed a piece of dry meatloaf mixed with cold water, wiped the water stains on his beard, and squinted at the number one general under his command, there was a faint disappointment in his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Adric's eyes were slightly gloomy: "Sosia, how many years have you followed me" Sosia, who was full of beard, thought for a moment: "I have been in the Thirteenth Corps for nine years, and when you first came, I was only a deputy battalion officer. ” Adric seemed to smile, when he smiled, his eyes still maintained his majesty, he turned to look around, the cavalry neatly lined up, quietly walking in line on the road, not a single cavalry noisy talk, only the sound of horses' hooves and armor clinking against the clanging, other than that, there was a solemnity.
The general's eyes became complicated, he sighed softly, and then smiled bitterly: "Sosia I, I'm afraid I won't be here for too long." ” Sosya's face changed suddenly, and he heard the general's voice full of worry: "I have been in the 13th Corps for nine years, the practice in the imperial army, there is a commander who can stay in a corps for so long, hum Two years ago, they wanted to transfer me away, you have been an imperial soldier for a lifetime, you should understand that it is impossible for the commander of the main army to serve for a long time, this is to prevent a general from supporting the army and breeding rebellion."
Nine years of my stay in the 13th Corps is already the limit, and if I guess correctly, after this war, at most a year and a half, I will be transferred out of here, maybe to the Osgilian military headquarters as a deputy minister, or maybe to go to a local military district as a governor."
Sosia's face was extremely pale, her lips opened, and she stared at Adric, unable to utter a word.
Adric's thick palm slapped on Sosia's shoulder, and he whispered: "My old friend, we have been fighting side by side for nine years, I think you are the best person to succeed me, you fought bravely, and I handed over to you the most elite heavy cavalry banner regiment of the 13th Corps, over the years, your prestige has also been erected, you have enough knowledge and affection for this army, I have no doubt about your ability."
But " The general pointed to his head: "You still need to use it more, here the 13th Corps is an iron army, an iron army that moves forward bravely, but as for courage, as the commander of an army, you also need to use more brains, you guys are not brainless, it's just that you are too accustomed to solving problems by force."
This is certainly a sign of bravery, but if you are the commander of an army, bravery alone is not enough. ” In fact, Adric still has a sentence hidden in his heart for many years, but he has never dared to say it, just because this sentence is too sensitive, and if he says it, he is afraid that it will hurt the morale of the army The slogan of forward, or death, is indeed very impassioned, but the 13th Corps has been carrying this slogan for too long, for too long, and it has been almost overwhelmed by this slogan, thinking that as long as you dare to fight hard, you can defeat the enemy.
But that's a mistake If it is just a battalion, or just a small unit of a flag regiment, then it is enough to have an indomitable slogan as the soul of the army.
However, the 13th Corps is a regular corps that fights independently, so in many cases, when facing war, it needs not only to "advance", but also to learn to "retreat" or even "fail" It's just that others can't say these words, and Adric, as the commander of the 13th Corps, can't say it This fanatical slogan, most of the time, can certainly boost morale and turn into infinite combat effectiveness.
But sometimes, it might kill the army Char sat quietly on the bed, his eyes tightly closed, the fire fork was placed across his knees, and the magic crystal was also pinched in the palm of his hand.
"You don't need to find a way to fuse with this magic crystal, because in fact, when I hid my soul in this magic crystal, I found that in fact, your soul mark has already been deeply imprinted in it, maybe you don't know it, but you can always burst out with magical power in times of crisis before, and just because the soul mark is touched, the magic crystal will bring out its original effect."
In the back of his mind, the dragon's voice spoke indifferently.
Well, has it already been fused a long time ago Char frowned and thought bitterly in her heart.
When did I wear this stone by my side, well, I don't even forget the specific day, as if from a very young age, the old guy put this thing around my neck.
Perhaps, the old guy deceived me and did something before I knew it "Although I can't tell you exactly how to control that magical power, I can probably analyze some of the fluctuations and laws of the energy inside this magic crystal when you erupted before.
The main source of this power is the murderous aura that erupts on the battlefield of murderous aura, experiencing the critical point of life and death, wandering on the edge of life and death, and the murderous aura of those who want to kill the enemy, to be precise, it is just a special magic crystal, which can absorb the surrounding murderous aura, and then transform it into a powerful force, and then burst out.
As the owner of the stone, what you need to do is to find out the rules, and then, in the future battles, you can take the initiative to use this power."
"After thinking about it carefully, to stimulate the explosion of this power, you need external pressure, and when you are oppressed by external pressure to a certain extent, the soul will emit fluctuations, triggering the soul imprint in the stone and activating this power.
As a dragon, although I have lost my physical body, I have retained most of my soul power, and I can still barely exert a little power of the dragon's unique attributes, although it is only a small part of the slight power, but it just includes a dragon power. ” As soon as the words fell, Xia Ya suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, an invisible feeling of oppression enveloped him, this is a feeling of coercion that cannot be seen and touched, as if there is a dangerous momentum above him, enveloping himself, his heart suddenly jumped wildly, his breathing was short, and the hairs on his whole body seemed to stand up, as if a beast was in danger, even his body was tense, and his bow was in a ball "Calmly experience this pressure, my soul power can't last this pressure for too long, you carefully experience this kind of oppression, every point of induction in your own consciousness, every point of fluctuation, hell, I have never met such a stupid human being as you" Eventually, the dragon's voice in his head became angry Char opened his eyes suddenly, and at this moment his eyes had become blood-red, and he jumped up, as if he had lost his mind, roared, and slashed out fiercely with a fire fork rumble With a loud bang, several blood-colored rays of light turned into more than a dozen light blades and shot out towards the surroundings, and the military tent was suddenly split under these light blades and collapsed with a bang Several thick wooden stakes supporting the tent split apart and smashed on Char's body, instantly crushing the bed under him.
Char woke up instantly, and in the dust, he coughed pitifully, choking so much that even tears came out, and he crawled out of the rubble, and when he threw himself on the ground, he shook his mouth and gnawed on the mud very unvividly.
Turning over suddenly, Char jumped up, stared at the fire fork in his hand with wide eyes, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahaha, I feel it, I feel it" In the back of his mind, the dragon's voice became weak: "Fool, it's really a stupid human who only felt it once, and it's far from being able to use it accurately, what are you proud of":
