Above the Pirate King

Chapter 126 Good-hearted people

Kingdom of Bell, the royal city of Bell City, outside the city.

"kill--"

"go to hell!"

"Die!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom-"

"Help---"

"save"

The sound of killing, the sound of shells firing, the sound of bullets firing, and the sound of calling for help sounded in this area. Human life is like weeds in this battlefield, worthless at all, and more than a dozen people will fall every second .

The whole battlefield is full of smoke and blood.

Blood and corpses covered every inch of land within a radius of several kilometers.

In the distance, on a high platform in the middle of an endless camp, Hornby carefully observed the battlefield with a telescope, watching the people of Hall and the Kingdom of Bell who were constantly falling, with a cold expression on his face, showing no signs of fluctuation.

Because, he is used to it!
In the past few months, the people of Hall and Bell Kingdom seem to have fallen into a strange circle called war, and they can't get out no matter how hard they go!

In this regard, both sides are aware that there is a mastermind behind this war!

But even if they are aware of it, there is nothing to do, because the two sides have fought until now unless one side surrenders or is defeated, it is impossible to stop the war!

Originally, the two sides had been in a stalemate for a period of time, and when their respective death tolls reached nearly 10, they couldn't hold on anymore.

10 million people!

That is nearly one-fifth of the population of each kingdom, and they are all young and strong. If a kingdom removes the old and the young and then subtracts the women, how many young and strong can be left?The maximum is more than 20, which is already nearly half!
However, just when the two parties intended to stop to negotiate, the ghost fire gave Hornby a large amount of arms at a price that was almost free.

With the strong support of this batch of munitions, the army of the Kingdom of Hall led by Hornby advanced triumphantly all the way, and directly advanced to the capital of the Kingdom of Bell, Bell City.

But because of this, the negotiation was broken!
By the time we got here, the death toll in the Kingdom of Hall had reached nearly 15, and the death toll in the Kingdom of Bell had reached 25. The original population of the entire island of 100 million shrank to 60 in an instant, and most of them were women. , the elderly and children.

In fact, Hornby had already guessed who was behind the scenes, but even if he did, there was nothing he could do. After all, he had advanced to Bell City now, so could he still give up?
If you give up, wouldn't all the people who died during this time die in vain?
So I can only bite the bullet and fight!
Fortunately, the Kingdom of Hall has an absolute advantage. In addition to the advantage in arms, the water source of the Kingdom of Bell has been cut off for nearly a month.

In this case, as long as Hornby guards the water source, after a period of time, the kingdom of Bell will be broken without attack.

Of course, the current Bell Kingdom can no longer hold on.

During this period of time, the Kingdom of Bell, men, women and children, all went into battle and attacked Hornby's camp crazily, feeling a bit hysterical.

Hornby knew that their water reserves were almost used up!
"Da da da!"

At this time, a soldier hurried over.

"Report-"

"Say!"

"General, the ammunition is almost exhausted. Judging from the current battle situation, it can only last for about three hours. If the battle situation is more intense, it can last for less than half an hour at most!"

"I see!"

After hearing the bad news, Hornby nodded lightly, not surprised at all!
Both sides have bought countless firearms and cannons so far. They are not lacking. It is not a problem for each person to have one gun or even two guns, but the consumption of bullets and shells is quite high.

Especially these days, the Bell Kingdom's counterattack was fierce, which led to more serious consumption of ammunition, and he has completely lost contact with the will-o'-the-wisps recently, and it is not bad to have these left today!
And if he guessed correctly, then next, a "good-hearted person" in the desperate Bell Kingdom would give them a large amount of ammunition for free, making them turn around.

Sure enough, shortly after the soldier reported, another soldier hurried over.

"Report-"

"Say!"

"A large amount of ammunition suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Bell, completely suppressing our army, and now they have come!"

Not beyond Hornby's expectations.

Although it is bad news, Hornby has already prepared!

He calmly issued an order: "Notify everyone, the entire army will retreat in an orderly manner as planned!"

"Yes!" The soldier saluted, then turned and left to inform everyone!
After a while, the entire camp became restless.

"Hurry up, pack your things and prepare to retreat!"

"Hurry up! I don't want all the flying thunder cannons, I only bring artillery."

"Pack up your stuff and install the explosives!"

"Be careful when installing!"

After a panic, the 5000 people in the camp were ready, and the [-] soldiers on the front line began to retreat slowly.

"Kill!"

"Rush over, don't let them get away!"

"Keep them!"

On the other side, the army of the Kingdom of Bell uttered a cry of killing. Under the command of Duford, more than 3 miscellaneous troops rushed towards the army of the Kingdom of Hall.

These 3 people, except for some young and strong, are mostly strong women, and a small number are old people with a little strength and children in their early ten years. Although they all have guns, it is really hard to determine how powerful they are. .

There is no way, too many young and strong people died, and such an army was only assembled under unavoidable circumstances.

If it weren't for the hundreds of years of hatred between the two kingdoms and the fierce folk customs, the normal kingdom would have surrendered long ago, and it was impossible to fight to this extent.

However, these 3 people are also Duford's last chance, because the fight has reached the current level, and there are already voices in the country who want to surrender. If it weren't for the "good-hearted people" who sent a large amount of arms just now, they would have even surrendered !

Therefore, these 3 people are also the last chance for Bell Kingdom. If they cannot win, or even draw, they will have to surrender after being cut off from the water source!

"call--"

Duford took a cigar, took a deep breath, and then spit it out. A few months ago, he didn't know how to smoke. He has learned to smoke by himself, because it can calm his emotions a little bit!
As for the culprit that caused all this, he also had a guess in his heart, and he even just accepted the "good intentions" of the culprit.

You can't accept it!
In the current situation, even if both sides are well aware of the mastermind behind the scenes, they cannot stop the war.

The main reason is profit!

The Kingdom of Hall has already fought here, and seeing that the Kingdom of Bell is about to be wiped out, how could it be possible to stop the war?
And Bell Kingdom has been attacked to the capital, and the water has been cut off for a month. With the army blocked outside their royal city, there are only two choices in front of them, either desperately, or surrender!

Duford himself was not very in favor of surrender, so the batch of munitions sent by the ghost fire was his only chance. Only if he won the battle would he not have to surrender.

If he loses, even if he disagrees, those people in the country will force him to surrender!
"call--"

Duford took another puff of smoke, and then directly threw the cigar in his mouth on the ground. Looking at the battle situation in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly. Although Hornby retreated, he didn't feel any joy at all.

Judging from his understanding of this old opponent, he must be reserved at such a critical moment to retreat, and he definitely did not retreat because the ammunition was almost exhausted.

But in this world, who doesn't have a backup?
Thinking, Duford slowly walked towards the battlefield, took off his coat while walking, and threw it aside, revealing the strong muscles inside.

"No matter what backhand you have, no matter who's backhand is strong, the old opponent, in the end, we still need to fight in person to completely end this war!" Dufud murmured, with a hint of hysteria in his eyes. crazy.

And the three hundred burly men behind him, wearing bloated clothes and steel shields on their backs, also showed hysterical madness in their eyes, and followed Duford slowly towards the battlefield.
