Chapter 464 Fifth Army
"Damn!!"
Looking at the completely defeated Second Legion, Kangbat's face almost turned livid. He didn't expect that the other party actually had such power. How is that possible? Even the demons couldn't have such strength, but now... they were defeated so easily by these damn chess pieces!
"Retreat, retreat!!"
With no other choice, Kangbat had no choice but to retreat. He was not a fool. Naturally, he could see that if they persisted, they would be the only ones unlucky.
But what makes Kombat even more angry is...
"Where is the Fifth Army? Where have they gone?!"
It is a pity that the Fifth Army cannot currently hear Kombat's complaints. Of course, even if it hears it, it can't do anything.
Because the general of the Fifth Army, Rolex Gaderas and his adjutant Orre, are currently being held in the prison of Story 13.
"Hey, I didn't expect that we would be arrested."
Lying on the straw pile, looking at the dark ceiling in front of him, Rolex whistled.
Of course, the Fifth Army also received the order from the Council, but this guerrilla army with only 10,000 people was always erratic on weekdays. When they received the order, they were located on the eastern border. Then when the Fifth Army planned to withdraw to the Bonn Fortress and join the First and Second Army, Duanmuhuai had already directly defeated the Bonn Fortress.
In this case, the Fifth Army will certainly not be stupid enough to throw themselves into a trap, but as a guerrilla army, they also have their own strengths.
Therefore, after learning that the Bonn Fortress had been occupied and that the Fourth Army had sent some soldiers to follow the Iron Giant and left Storey 13 for the Bonn Fortress, Rolex, the commander of the Fifth Army, made a decision.
That is to make a roundabout way and directly attack Story 13 from the rear and attack the headquarters of the Fourth Army!
His idea was similar to that of General Kriolev. The Fourth Army originally had 40,000 people, but in the battle with the Inquisition, it suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and some of them escaped. The information obtained at that time was that the Fourth Army had only 20,000 people at most. The Bonn Fortress definitely needs at least 3,000 soldiers to control it. Now the Fourth Army has dispatched some more manpower, which means that the soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed in Story 13 will only last more than 10,000, which is about the same as the Fifth Army.
Although the number of people is similar, Rolex does not think that the combat power is similar. After all, the Fifth Army, as a guerrilla army, is more expensive than more expensive. What about the Fourth Army? To put it bluntly, it is a useless legion used to contain other countries when they invade. It is simply like comparing a new recruit with a super agent. No matter how you look at it, the fifth legion has more combat effectiveness!
So Rolex took advantage of the dark and windy night to raid Storey 13, trying to completely annihilate the headquarters of the Fourth Army and capture the commanders and generals of the Fourth Army.
And then...well, he was imprisoned here.
The reason for the failure of the Fifth Army was actually very simple. It was not a strategy or a strong general, it was simply the difference in numbers.
Yes, Rolex estimated that the Fourth Army had only ten thousand soldiers.
But when he entered the city, he discovered that there were actually as many as 50,000 soldiers in the Fourth Army!
Damn, what the hell is this?
So after discovering that the opponent had a large number of troops and that he was weak and surrounded, Rolex decisively chose to surrender to save his life - he was not a dog of the council, and he did not need to sacrifice himself to death for the council.
So he was imprisoned here.
"Da da da..."
Just as Rolex was leaning on the straw pile and counting the stains on the ceiling out of boredom, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and then he saw a soldier walking to Rolex's cage, and then handed the food on the plate through the fence. .
"Your dinner today."
"Oh, it's finally time to eat."
Hearing the good news, Rolex jumped up in a hurry and came to the fence. As prisoners, of course they couldn't have any particularly rich food. All they had to eat was dry bread, a small piece of dried meat and a bowl. Soup, of course, was not bad for a prisoner.
Others might have frowned upon such a humble dinner, but as the general of the Fifth Army, Rolex himself spent his time in guerrillas. He had encountered all kinds of simple situations, so he took a piece of cold bread and put it in his mouth without taking it seriously, while looking at the soldiers in front of him.
"Hey, kid."
"What happened?"
Hearing Rolex's words, the soldier stood on the opposite side, monitoring them and asking.
"I remember you. You fought well before and defeated several of my subordinates."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Rolex couldn't help but praise him.
"I never thought that the Fourth Army would have a talent like you? Which class did you graduate from?"
"Graduation?"
Hearing Rolex's question, the young man snorted softly.
"I don't know what you are talking about, I just joined the Fourth Army."
"Just joined?"
"Yes, after the Fourth Army liberated Storey 13, I signed up to join the Fourth Army. Before that, I was just a blacksmith apprentice."
"Wait..."
Hearing this, Rolex was stunned for a moment.
"In other words, you have only joined the Fourth Army for less than a month? Then why are you working so hard??"
Rolex still remembers that this young man worked very hard on the battlefield. Although he was very immature, his aura of exchanging lives for lives was really amazing. In fact, it was not just him, but also many soldiers of the Fourth Army. As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. The Fifth Legion is not stupid, how could they fight with a bunch of guys who don't even care about their own lives?
So Rolex finally chose to surrender.
At that time, he just thought that these soldiers were fighting for the Fourth Army, and lamented that the current commander of the Fourth Army had such charm. Now that he hears it...
Good guy, you have only joined the Fourth Army for a month?
Then why are you working so hard?
Rolex has never seen anyone want to die.
"Of course it's to protect my family!" "Your family?"
"That's right."
The young soldier nodded vigorously and looked at Rolex.
"You guys probably don't even know what kind of life we lived before the Fourth Army came here! We couldn't have enough to eat, and we had to freeze in the winter! Those damn guards beat us whenever they wanted, nobles The master treats us like animals!”
Speaking of this, the young soldier clenched his fists.
"But the Fourth Legion came, and everything changed! All the nobles who once rode on our heads were beheaded in public, and all the guards who bullied us were driven away! And they also took away all the food from those nobles Come out and share with us..."
At this moment, the young soldier seemed to have thought of something and became increasingly angry.
"You have no idea what we saw when we went to the warehouses of those nobles. If we put such a big piece of meat in our home, we would probably be reluctant to eat it for a year. But to them, it is thrown in the corner like garbage. Here, let them get moldy! We can’t even eat those grains, vegetables, and fruits, but they are thrown into the stinking ditch..."
“……………………”
Hearing the roar of the young soldier, Rolex didn't say anything. Of course he knew the virtues of the nobles, but he didn't expect those nobles to be so...well, actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.
"Now that we are finally living the life we expected, we will never let anyone destroy them!"
As he spoke, the young soldier stared at Rolex fiercely.
"What council, what nobles, what emperor! I don't care! I only know that the Fourth Legion killed the nobles who bullied my family, distributed food to us, and made this city safer. Everyone You don’t have to worry about being picked on by the guards or soldiers, let alone being bullied by the nobles! If you want to take this away, I will stop you even if I risk my life!”
"…………So you joined the Fourth Army?"
"That's right."
"…………"
Hearing the young soldier's decisive answer, Rolex sighed, feeling that even the bread in his hand no longer smelled good.
Now, he finally understood how the Fourth Army, which was supposed to have only 10,000 people left, ended up with so many more people.
Thinking of this, Rolex raised his head and looked at the young soldier in front of him.
"Hey, boy, tell the commander of your legion that I have something to say to her."
I have to say that Krim was still very surprised when she learned the news, but Krim still came to the prison to meet Rolex.
"Hello, General Rolex."
"Okay, okay, now I'm your prisoner, so I don't need to engage in such etiquette anymore."
Looking at Krim in front of him, Rolex waved his hand, and then he looked at Krim curiously.
"I came to you just to inquire about something... Why did you do this?"
"I don't understand what you mean, General Rolex, you mean..."
"I heard what the boy said. As he spoke, Rolex pointed to the young soldier standing next to him.
"Not only did you occupy this city, you also killed the nobles of this city and distributed their property to others... What are you doing this for? Is it just to win over the people?"
"That's not wrong if you want to understand it that way."
Faced with Rolex's prying eyes, Krim seemed very calm.
"We need strength, but we cannot stand on the side of the nobles and the Council, so we have only one choice."
"Indeed, Herman is terrible now."
Rolex nodded.
"Herman is now like a piece of rotten bread, filled with disgusting maggots. They have eaten holes everywhere in the bread, and it has almost lost its original shape... So, how do you plan to change all this? What?”
"I know very well that changing all this is not a simple matter. In fact, the Lord Inquisitor also told me that if you simply overthrow the Council, it is impossible to change the status quo. If you want to solve all this, just It has to be overhauled from the bottom up, and that’s what we’re doing.”
"………………"
Hearing this, Rolex frowned.
"You mean, you plan to apply this to all cities in Hermann?"
"Of course."
Krim nodded.
"What we want to do is to completely change this country, not just change the owner. If Emperor Sheila does not have that ability, then even if she comes back to power, what is the difference between her and Prime Minister Stisse?"
"And that's why you do it."
Hearing this, Rolex showed an excited smile, then he stared at Krim and said.
"It sounds interesting. How about counting me in?"
