Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

Chapter 5 No one wants to die in humiliation

The army was heading to the capital, and the soldiers just came to confirm our destination. It was said that in addition to them, there was another walking team behind them.

Regarding Xia Long and his friends' plan to go to Volubia, the soldier explained that Volubia is now crowded with people, and many people in Volubia have had to move to other places. If we plan to go to Volubia to visit relatives or look for someone, it is best to go to Libido and Quanso to have a look.

After the young soldier finished speaking, he pulled the reins again and rode his horse to catch up with the team.

"No one wants to die in humiliation."

Xia Long drove the off-road vehicle back on the road and sighed at the army behind him that was already going far away.

"Uncle, are they going to the capital?"

"Yes, they are heroes of this country."

Noel was silent for a moment, then said softly;

"Can King Mulgrew defeat them?"

They are referring to the invaders.

The off-road vehicle started slowly, following the road the army came from and heading in the opposite direction.

"I don't know, no one knows, but at least we can't say their actions are wrong. Surrendering without doing anything is a very humiliating thing. Even if there is a certain rationale, it will put the dignity of the nation on the ground. If sacrifice can bring anything, it brings respect from others."

“I don’t quite understand.”

"It's okay...let's go to Volubya."

It took them another half an hour to reach Volubya. Halfway there, they saw the team that the young soldier had mentioned. They were silent soldiers all wearing leggings and flaming red armor. It took their car a minute to cover the length of the team. After this episode, nothing happened afterwards.

No, there are still some.

"Speak."

Xia Long suddenly spoke up.

"Why do they ride horses and run when they have cars?"

However, Noel looked at him doubtfully, looking very confused.

"That's Nunama, a car can't outrun them."

"oh oh..."

My goodness, if a car can’t run faster than a horse, then what’s the point of having cars?

But the horse's speed was indeed amazing, it could actually run side by side with King Muguru. Xia Long thought about it and then asked another question.

"Then what are they running for, that is, those infantrymen?"

"This..." This question touched upon Noel's blind spot. He racked his brains for a long time and finally shook his head, "I don't know either."

From the perspective of common sense, it seems that it is okay to have a Nunama instead of a car, but it seems a bit anti-technological to have a sprint instead of a car.

It was common sense three hundred years ago, and Noel just didn't know how to deal with it for a while. After all, he was born after the peaceful era.

This army had made great achievements during the unification process three hundred years ago. From a human perspective, each of them is a true superhuman. They must be able to climb a 2000-meter natural cliff with their bare hands to be considered qualified. The army is code-named the Holy Army after the names of gods.

Enter Flurubia.

"Let's go have a meal first."

Driving into the city, I have to say it is very lively.

There were pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the road was big enough for vehicles to pass through. Many people could be seen at a glance, but it was not as exaggerated as the soldiers said that it was packed with people.

Although the soldier said that Volubya was packed with people, the accurate translation is that the medical resources and housing resources consumed a lot of people. If I have to describe the feeling after entering the city...

“Everyone feels so depressed.”

Noel leaned forward slightly and said to Xia Long while picking up the stewed potato-like food with a fork;

"Yes."

Xia Long nodded, put a spoonful of something similar to rice into his mouth, and poured the soup of potato stew on it.

Everybody feels so listless. It's not that everyone has a bitter look on their face, but there's an inexplicable atmosphere lingering in this city, hanging over people's heads. Even if people smile, like the waiters serving with a smile, it seems as if there is still something unknown weighing on them, heavy.

Since the disaster, Noel has been collecting relief food and digging in the ruins of the city. When the soldiers refused his actions, he ran to the places where the soldiers had not dug yet and dug on his own. He did this until he dug out Xia Long, so even he was unaware of the evolution of this atmosphere.

However, Xia Long guessed that it might be due to the emotions transmitted from what happened in Kalnig.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll go take a look after we finish eating."

Noel nodded and started to deal with the food on his table.

Newspapers were something that appeared very early even on Earth, so it was no surprise that they appeared in Ian. Because only one day had passed, there was no need to replenish many of the existing supplies, but after careful consideration, he still purchased the things that he had missed at the beginning.

However, even for off-road vehicles, the supplies that can be carried are limited. It would be great if I could become a cube man like Steve who can carry a set of sixty-four iron cubes, a total of thirty-six sets of supplies.

Although that might cause the Ian people to be shocked and capture them and burn them at the stake as alien invaders.

Today's freshly produced newspaper.

Walking out of the store, biting on a snack similar to Pocky, Xia Long opened the newspaper, and Noel was next to him holding a bag, pinching a stick with one finger, and biting Pocky one by one. The taste was a little sweet, and it tasted like a fruit, similar to passion fruit.

While reading the newspaper, Xia Long's brows unconsciously frowned, but then relaxed and frowned again. After he finished reading, he closed the newspaper and handed it to Noel, who took it curiously.

"It's a long paragraph and may not be easy to read," said Xia Long.

"【King Mugru and his entourage are heading to the capital, and the Holy Army will arrive in the capital today】." Noel read out the title word by word, but the newspaper contained more content, so he continued reading.

"'Including Wellington, Tudorlington, Hollande, Brownloof, Carnig and other cities, suffered major attacks, and countless casualties. At the same time, according to the invader's declaration, all souls will be attacked in one month. Everyone will encounter a completely different war from the past. It is neither a war with foreign races nor a war with foreign countries. It will be a bet on our country, the land under our feet, mother Ian, and the freedom and love of each of you and me living on the earth. We must fight.'"

"'The enemy is very powerful. We have no power to fight back. Our important compatriots have been destroyed, our dignity and honor have been destroyed, and our homes have been destroyed. But we will never surrender, and we will never give in. Even if this is a war that is bound to fail, even if it is a war that wastes lives in vain, I still want to call on all Ian people with blood to stand up, call on all those who are willing to be warriors to pick up weapons, shed the last drop of blood, and fight with all your flesh and blood to prove that we will not surrender in the face of despair!'"

"'Norlane Scalante said; 'Civilization is not the fire given by the sun god, nor is it the prosperity of a great country gathered together, but the leg bone that was broken and then healed.' Now we stand here, and I tell you, for us, our civilization is not obtained by surrender, it is not letting our compatriots' bones break, nor letting them be destroyed because the city is destroyed, nor kneeling down because we are afraid of sacrifice when the enemy comes. Ian people, this is a war that is bound to be lost, a war that wastes lives in vain, and I still have to say it coldly and ruthlessly! I want to call on all Ian people with blood to stand up, call on all those who are willing to be warriors to pick up weapons, shed the last drop of blood, and fight with all your flesh and blood to prove that we will not succumb to despair!'"

"'Let us engage in a sacred war - not for the glory of life, nor for the glory of death, but to prove that we will not give up until the last moment. The Ian people are here, and the civilization and value of the Ian people are here!'"

It was a long paragraph, and Noel read it for a while.

Yes, four days is enough time for this storm to ferment.

A man heard Noel's whispered story, he stood next to Noel, raised his hand and touched Noel's head, seeing Noel raised his head in shock, the man smiled kindly, raised his head and said to Xia Long who was standing next to Noel;

"Although General Spencer is old, he is still as charming as ever."

"Yeah." Xia Long didn't understand, but was stunned for a moment, then quickly pretended to understand and agreed.

The Ien people were a race with light green skin and blonde hair. Xia Long was used to it, but what surprised him was that this man had only one hand, and his other hand was missing.

It was not a new wound, but obviously an old one, and the empty sleeves swayed in the wind.

The strange Ian laughed;

"The Ian people have always valued the soul more than life. We have been fighting for this issue for who knows how many years. Now we are finally unified. Fortunately, no one has changed."

"None of us want to die in disgrace."
