i became a shadow

Chapter 136 War
The war is raging, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled.

Countless hisses and shouts collided with each other.

With a bang, the city gate was broken!

"The Ross people are coming in!"

Panicked shouts sounded from the city gate, and then ferocious wolf howls and heavy and chaotic horseshoes came surging from a distance.

Wave after wave of Ross's army is as fierce as wild beasts!
"The whole army follows me to meet the enemy!"

The Hill soldiers looked fearless, and one of the squadron leaders roared angrily.

"No, the east gate is also broken!"

"Ximen urgently reports that the Ross people have already invaded!"

"Block me, Tariwa is the empire's last line of defense, if it falls, the pressure on the imperial capital will increase dramatically!"

The Xier banner on the tall building was crumbling, exuding the smell of blood, and countless corpses were covered with stone bricks.

The armies of Hill and Rose were fighting each other like a bloody millstone, and no one could escape.

"Everyone come with me, let those Ross people see the determination of General Hill!"

"But Captain, there are only a dozen of us left, and they are still very young!"

"……Come with me!"

"understand!"

The horn of the bloody war echoed in Tariwa, and all kinds of shops in the deep streets were in a mess, and everyone closed their doors and windows tightly, trembling with fear.

In one of the houses, the wooden door was also tightly closed, airtight.

But even so, all kinds of killings outside and the impact of cold metal still hit over and over again.

A man in military uniform looked dazed. Hearing the screams from the other side, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath, and then resolutely stepped forward.

"Where do you want to go?"

The man was silent for a long while before turning around: "I want to go out and help!"

At this time, his hand was suddenly tightly grasped, and the warm feeling made the man open his mouth.

"Don't go, please, for the sake of my child, please don't go!"

Hot and humid tears dripped on the back of her hand, and the woman hugged the other's not-so-tall body all at once.

Looking at the hope in his wife's eyes, he hesitantly raised his arm and patted her back carefully, feeling the trembling in his arms.

The man gently stroked the other's head: "I'll be back soon, don't worry..."

"You lie, you can't come back at all!"

The woman burst into tears, shook her head desperately, and refuted loudly with red eyes.

This time when the man heard the words, he just smiled and spoke softly.

"Anna, I'll leave Ed to you."

The woman raised her head in disbelief.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

She shouted angrily, and slapped the man on the cheek, but the man didn't dodge.

Clap!
The woman's arms fell weakly, and her eyes revealed puzzlement and confusion.

"I've heard that Geer, the left general of the Ross Empire, would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. As long as you take off your clothes, they won't be too embarrassed... But why, why?!"

As if questioning, and as if trying to convince herself, she lowered her head in grief, and buried her tearful face deeply in her husband's chest.

The voice choked up and wept.

"Anna, I am a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to defend the country. Now most of Tariwa has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The ammunition and food are exhausted, the city is destroyed, and the imperial capital is in danger. There is nothing but us to sacrifice our lives for the country." He can't..."

"You are a kind girl. Forgive me for being selfish. I can't give you a satisfactory wedding. I have suffered for so long."

The man kissed each other's forehead, gently wiping away his tears.

The woman didn't speak, her eyes were full of pain.

"Dad, where are you going?"

The innocent voice of the child sounded from the side.

He knelt down and rubbed his opponent's hair vigorously.

Seeing his child's dissatisfied and clear eyes, he suddenly laughed.

"Silly boy, your father is going to be a great hero, please give some words of encouragement to make Dad happy!"

"Really, Dad is going to be a hero?"

The child opened his mouth in surprise, like the hero that friends often say?
"Yes, it's a hero. Why doesn't that brat trust Dad?"

"No, Ed believes it, Dad, come on!"

The little boy smiled and encouraged to cheer.

The man didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and then smiled.

Without hesitation, he turned and left.

"Wait, you...promise me, you must come back alive!"

The woman who had been silent just now suddenly spoke. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she stared at the other party very seriously.

Glittering with anticipation and hope.

"I promise you!"

……

"I promise you……"

Blood was gurgling from his left shoulder. The man was fixed to the wall by the point of the gun, and his whole body was supported by the point of the gun.

He looked confused and muttered to himself.

With hazy eyes, he reached out to touch the white clouds in the sky, but a severe pain brought him back to reality.

"Captain, it's this Hillman who killed several of our brothers..."

A Ross soldier bowed his head and reported.

The captain waved his hand lightly, and he came to the man in a leisurely manner, and then he caught a glimpse of the bloody ring on the man's finger out of the corner of his eye.

"What's your name?"

The man didn't say a word, which immediately angered the soldier next to him, and punched him hard in the face.

Blood splattered and soldiers cursed.

"The captain asked you something, why are you pretending to be dumb, didn't you yell so loudly before!"

"stop!"

Looking at the dying man, the captain's eyes were cold, and he kicked the soldier away.

"Did I tell you to do it?"

"The subordinate knows it's wrong!"

The soldiers quickly knelt down, terrified.

The captain didn't answer, took out a kettle from his waist, opened the cork, and said indifferently: "I bought this wine from the wine shop over there, do you want some?"

The man's eyes fluttered, and he stared blankly at Officer Ross opposite him.

"Alcohol relieves pain..."

His tone was flat, and without waiting for the man to answer, he directly pinched the man's chin violently, and poured it straight into his mouth.

"Cough cough!"

Immediately, the man was choked and coughed again and again, his face flushed, and the blood dripped on the ground as the wine rolled.

"I...cough cough, I don't know how to drink!"

"Yeah, that's a pity."

With a calm expression, the captain also gave himself a few gulps.

The remaining wine flowed down the river, and he wiped the marks on the corners of his mouth: "The wine in that store is not bad, you should try it earlier."

The man hesitated to speak, and then tried to open his mouth.

"Will you...will harm unarmed ordinary people?"

He was silent for a moment, took another sip of wine for himself, and said lightly, "I'm a soldier!"

"Yeah, I see..."

The man pulled out a smile, his eyes blurred.

The breeze was blowing quietly, mixed with the smell of blood, neither of them spoke anymore, time seemed to be frozen here.

It wasn't until a cold sound came from afar that the tranquility was broken.

"General Zuo ordered that all Hill soldiers be executed!"

When the captain heard this, he paused slightly and threw the kettle on the ground.

Looking at the man who was pierced by the spear and fixed to the wall, he took a deep breath.

"sorry!"

As soon as the words fell, the captain pulled out his gun with lightning speed and pierced the man's heart. From the beginning to the end, the man's face was calm.

Blood dripped from the tip of the gun, and he was neither sad nor happy.

"That's why I hate war so much!"

But others couldn't find the place, countless shadows flowed into the ground crazily, leaving only the afterimage of the corpse.

At the same time, blood-red figures slowly appeared in the sky, and all the soldiers subconsciously looked up.

The demons have come!
