Hao Ren and his gang are all new to the city, and even Izaks, who likes to wander around, has never really set foot in Kadessa-when he came to the Kadessius plane for sightseeing, but something delayed.So now this group of people in the city is to see everything fresh, even if they still remember that there is something serious in their bodies, they can't help but stop at the exotic scenery around them, and after entering the city, they visit all the way.The people did not intend to enter the inner city today, so they looked for a suitable hotel in the outer city, and according to general experience, such an inn should be opened around the main road of the city, so the group walked down the main road, and finally naturally came to the square at the end of the road.It is a semi-circular square with neat white stone tiles, and decorative lampposts and stone carvings can be seen all around the square, everything is new, and it is clear that the square was built after the end of the ten-year war.The most striking thing in the square is a tall sculpture, and the group is attracted by this sculpture and can't help but stop in front of it.Unlike the heroic sculptures seen elsewhere, the protagonist of this sculpture is clearly an ordinary soldier, who does not have a cloak or insignia symbolizing the status of an officer, but wears an ordinary soldier's armor, leaning forward, one leg raised into the air, and the long sword in his hand pointing forward, as if he is leaping out of cover to meet the enemy.On the sculptural nameplate there are only two short lines of text: Private, Kevin?
Hodel, killed at the beginning of the Ten Years' War.Thank you, brave brother, for the courage you have given us, and the moment you leap out of the trenches, we finally know why we are here.Hao Ren felt that the sculpture was very expressive, and guessed which hero the owner of the sculpture was, but he didn't think much about it, but when he was about to leave, he noticed that Itzhax was standing silently in front of the sculpture with a thoughtful expression."
This human, I have the impression," Itzhax nodded at the sculpture, "well, it seems that his people have not forgotten him." ”Hao Ren immediately realized that there was a story behind this, and everyone else looked curious, and La Niña spoke about the situation in Itzax's place.It was the beginning of the ten-year war and the end of the Demon King's centuries-long invincible conquest on earth, which broke out on the red soil plains in front of the city of Kadessa.At that time, the Demon King Army had swept through most of the world, including almost all the demons that had been unified and suppressed, and outside, almost all the armies of the human races had been defeated.In such a situation, Yitzhax made the decision to attack the Cadsius plane - occupying this "world center" means that the unification war will enter the final stage, and if this space center can directly clamp down on all races, the entire world will officially fall under the rule of the Demon King Army.It was also at such a critical moment that seven powerful warriors called the "Seven Heroes" appeared in the world, they were the last remaining army leaders of the seven major races in the world, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, dark elves, halflings, and spirits - under the contact of the human pope and the holy woman, the seven heroes reached a consensus and formed a coalition, and those races that were almost completely defeated by the demon king army finally united at the last moment, and bet their last remaining hole cards on Cadsius to fight.The Demon King's Army and the Papal Alliance's forces have fought a decisive battle on the Great Plains in front of the city of Kadesa - deciding the final course of the world.But in the beginning, the battle was about to end with a landslide victory for the Demon King's army, as it had been with almost every previous engagement."
The king's army has swept the world for hundreds of years, and what has accumulated is an aura that is difficult for ordinary people to resist," La Nina looked at the sculptures in the square, her eyes were complicated, "When the demon army approached the human defenses, the latter's soldiers trembled and did not dare to face it, even if they were the bravest warriors selected by various races, it was difficult to fight back in the face of the fear accumulated over hundreds of years. ”"Then a soldier jumped out," Itzax said, pointing to the statue, "an ordinary soldier who jumped out while everyone else was trembling and didn't dare to move his place, and that was this human." ”"While the victory or defeat of Armageddon cannot be attributed to the bravery of a human taking the lead, this human did turn a lot of things around, at least the fate of that line of defense – and maybe the fate of the whole world," La Nina sighed, "If he hadn't jumped out, maybe the demon army would have gone straight in, but after he took the lead, the entire human camp began to fight back." ”Itzax nodded: "My army has suffered defeat for the first time. ”Hao Ren didn't know how to react when he heard this story, but Lily next to him was always curious: "Then this human has made a great contribution and later became a big man, right?"
”"No, in fact he died within ten minutes of jumping out of cover, one of the first ordinary soldiers to die in the Ten-Year War," La Niña shook her head, "This human has never actually killed an enemy, I investigated, and that day was even his first time on the battlefield."
His combat career lasted only ten minutes, but this did not prevent him from becoming one of the most important heroes of the ten-year war. ”Hao Ren was silent, and at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from behind them.Hao Ren looked back and saw a young girl in a plain dress, this girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance was ordinary, and her dress seemed to be from a civilian background.She held the bouquet in her hand, nodded slightly as she passed by Hao Ren and them, and then solemnly placed the bouquet at the foot of the statue.After the girl put down the bouquet, she put her hands on her chest, lowered her head and whispered, her voice was low, but Hao Ren and the others could still hear it clearly: "Dad, this is the last time I have come to see you this year, I have already received permission from the teacher to go to the demon plane with the troops of the next rotation......"
"Are you his daughter?"
”Lily immediately screamed in her heart, and Hao Ren couldn't cover it next to her.The girl raised her head, glanced at the group of strangers curiously, and nodded slightly: "Yes, there are many people here who know me." ”Her voice was flat, not out of pride, nor to promote her status as a "hero's daughter", but to explain the situation to outsiders.Hao Ren suddenly felt that the situation was a little delicate, while Yizax looked at the girl quietly for a while, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
”"Vanessa?
Hoddle. ”The girl replied politely, not in any way unremarkable by the horrible appearance of Itzhax."
You're in the army?"
Itzax asked casually as if he had met an orphan of an old man, with no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.Vanessa nodded, then shook her head slightly: "I can't be a soldier, I'm going to be a clerk."
Before his death, Dad always hoped that the family would have a learned person. ”Itzhax and the girl were silent for a while, the latter gradually showed a puzzled look on his face, as if he was about to leave, but at this time, Itzhax suddenly took out a small amulet from the package he was carrying and handed it over: "Take this, the demon plane is not suitable for human survival, and your physique will not last for a few months in the past."
This amulet will allow you to adapt to the environment there more quickly. ”Vanessa hurriedly refused, but Itzhax forced the amulet into the other party's hand: "Take it—I know your father." ”Vanessa took the amulet in surprise and suspicion, bowed her head and thanked her repeatedly, and then said goodbye and left."
Child," called Itzhax from behind Vanessa, "your father is a good warrior!"
”After the girl left, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, and it was obvious that it was not appropriate for anyone to say anything.Yitzax was also silent for a long time, and then he looked at Hao Ren and pointed at himself: "Am I wrong?"
”Hao Ren shook his head: "No." ”Izzax pointed to Private Kevin's sculpture again: "Is he wrong?"
”"Not either.""
So that's war."
Yitzax put the sentence aside and turned away from the soldier's sculpture.Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders and led the others to follow, and the voice of the data terminal sounded in his head: "So this is the life of an examiner." ”(To be continued.) )
