It was still a peaceful night, and when the next morning came, Regner and the others packed their luggage again and prepared to leave.
"So..." Regnar asked Rebecca as he walked: "You mean Nidhogg is staying in the woods of Stoke Empire Magic Academy? Even the magic circle that inspired the wave of death , is it right there?”
"Yes, that is his home court for a long time. If he leaves there, he will not even be able to resist the continuous punishment of the original rules." Rebecca replied, she deliberately amplified her voice so that everyone could understand the current situation. Condition. And this also proves that Rebecca sincerely wants to help Regnar assassinate Nidhogg.
However, after Rebecca finished speaking, she added in a low voice: "You should understand what I mean. He is almost imprisoned in the Magic Academy now. If you want to kill him, you may not have a chance in the future, but This time, once you pass, you will play into your own hands. I ask you for the last time, don’t go there, okay?”
Regnar was silent for a moment and then replied: "Rebecca..."
"kindness?"
"I am very grateful for your help and care for me all the time, but I will not waver in this matter." Regnar said seriously: "I might as well tell you directly, in fact, sometimes I also feel, Nidhogg really wants me to meet him. I don’t know what Nidhogg’s plan is. But even if this is Nidhogg’s plan, I must follow his plan. Do it. Because this is the only way to get Anne out of these right and wrong. I will not change this, I hope you can understand."
"I've known it for a long time." Rebecca smoothed her black hair and sighed: "We are all like this, aren't we? We know clearly that the result will not change at all, but we still make meaningless efforts."
"My efforts may not be meaningless." Regnar reminded.
"When you really face Nidhogg, you will understand how naive your so-called assassination is. No matter how weak he is now, he still has the absolute power to crush you." Rebecca thought silently in her heart. , she did not tell Regnar these words, because it had no effect other than damaging the morale of Regnar and the others.
And just as Regnar and his team rushed non-stop to the thousand-year-old capital, the final battle related to the fate of the entire continent was about to begin. Under Alexander's command, humans formed a huge defense line in the eastern part of the continent in an attempt to resist the spread of the death wave. This can be said to be the last resistance force squeezed out by mankind. If even they are defeated, then the Chino continent will completely become a world of death.
Compared with the huge legion formed by humans in the eastern part of the continent, the human legion defending the tide of death in the west is really weak. Except for the most elite Golden Eagle Knights on the mainland, the rest of the warriors guarding Costa Fortress can be said to be rookies. Some of them are prisoners controlled by the imperial seal, some are civilian defense groups composed of southern refugees, and some are old farmers temporarily recruited by the empire. They have not undergone orthodox training, nor have they experienced the test of blood and fire. But every soldier standing in Costa Fortress understands that the fortress under their feet must not be missed.
These people were not forcibly transferred to guard Costa Fortress. Each of them went here voluntarily. In order to recruit this group of warriors, Alexander issued a recruitment order throughout the Imperial Legion. In the recruitment order, Alexander frankly admitted the difficulty and danger of defending Costa Fortress. He even specifically reminded that according to the staff's calculations, the death rate of the defenders defending Costa Fortress would be infinitely close to 100%.
But even so, many warriors still came to apply, and some brigades and even entire teams asked to follow Alexander.
In the end, Alexander selected more than 15,000 people to defend the Costa Fortress with his Knights of the Golden Eagle. But now, they are finally coming into formal contact with the vast sea of corpses.
Alexander stood silently on the tower. As a high-level warrior, his hearing was sharper than others. At this time, he had already heard those sounds, the footsteps of those messengers of death. The second prince raised his head. He had already seen the scattered undead vanguard army at the top of the valley. Even if they climb to the top of the valley, these undead still cannot pass through the Costa Canyon as they wish. Because Alexander also deployed a small number of troops on both sides of the valley, they would deal with these fish that slipped through the net.
These are actually just appetizers, because directly below the canyon is the real main battlefield.
Xixisuosuo…
The never-ending footsteps of the undead army became louder and louder. All the soldiers in Costa Fortress nervously clenched their weapons. Even though they had long been prepared to sacrifice, when death was really close, even Alexander did not have the courage to face him calmly.
The sea of corpses has appeared in front of everyone. They move silently, and there is no other sound in the entire canyon except their footsteps.
And this is the most frightening thing about fighting the undead. They are a group of people who have no emotions and don't know what fear is. They always kill in silence, without pain or screams. Facing this kind of enemy, even experienced veterans will feel despair because of their utter ruthlessness.
Alexander took a deep breath. Even though he had fought against the undead so many times, the silence before such a bloody massacre would make his scalp numb every time. As for himself and others, Alexander, as the supreme commander, could naturally understand the mental state of every soldier facing the sea of corpses at this time.
"All the brave warriors standing on Fortress Costa." Alexander relied on his fighting spirit to transport his voice to every corner of Fortress Costa: "I am Alexander."
"Your Highness!" Several warriors who had not yet been conquered by fear shouted loudly.
"Yes, Your Highness. You have always called me that." Alexander continued: "But today, I prefer to stand here as an empire warrior, not as the second prince of the empire."
"Because I think the former is a title that makes me feel honored and proud." Alexander looked at the soldiers on the fortress and said, "Maybe you find it strange?"
There was silence in the fortress.
The second prince continued: "But I am not surprised by this. Think about it! Who stood up against the invasion of the southerners! Who stood in the far north under the threat of the barbarians! And who is dying? It is the warriors who form the last solid barrier for mankind under the fear of the tide! It is the warriors, every warrior of the empire!"
"It is precisely because of this that I have deep respect for every warrior who has the courage to stand here. It is precisely because of this that I will be proud to call myself an imperial warrior. Because each of us..." Alexander used He yelled with all his strength: "They are all good!",
"Now, the empire is facing an unprecedented disaster, and countless soldiers have lost their lives in this disaster. But we, the soldiers who are still alive, still have to stand here, at the forefront of the disaster. Why? Alexander said: "Because we are warriors! The duty of a warrior is to defend our homeland! When our homeland is threatened, we must stand up. This is our bounden duty! As long as we have one breath left, our homeland must not be destroyed!" Because that’s why we exist!”
The sea of corpses was gradually approaching, and some zombies had even come within the range of the archers. But without Alexander's order, no warrior acted rashly.
Alexander continued: "I don't want to lie. In fact, many of you also know it. In this defensive war, our hope of victory is very slim, and even the vast majority of us will die in this war. But, this is us This is our duty, this is our destiny, this is the highest honor of being a warrior! We cannot retreat! Because behind us is what we want to protect, which is our home! It is our wives, children and parents! Brothers, you Remember General Manhattan’s famous quote?”
Alexander paused and suddenly shouted loudly: "Heaven to the left!"
"Warrior to the right!!!"
“Heaven to the left!”
"Warrior to the right!!!"
“Heaven to the left!!!”
"Warrior to the right!!!!"
"For the Empire!!!"
"For the Empire!!!"
“For Home!!!”
“For Home!!!”
