Chapter 619 [Snowfall's "Gift”]

“What did you see? ”

On the walls north of the fortress, under orders of snow, there were no other figures on the surrounding walls, except snow falling and Dewey's hand-held wall stomping north to view. Rohit stood quietly about a few steps behind him.

Snow dropped to the north, turning back to Dewey with a smile.

Along the snowy fingers, Dewey seemed to see that to the north, far below the city, was the most solid river defense ever seen by humans, the Roland Empire spending a lot of manpower and spending a lot of money digging out the wide artificial river - and, of course, there were plenty of gold coins donated by Dewey.

This canal, together with this fortress, was once regarded by humans as the eastern line of defense for Guru Jin Tang. And now, the river has become the world of the Orcs.

Just in the direction of the snow finger, Dewey could even see, in the shallow waters by the river, a huge figure soaking in the water hip-hopping, the Hippo warriors who had wiped out the human warships stationed here.

At this moment, the river became the site of the Hippocampus, and those big shadows roared in the water, enjoying the pleasure of the water.

Seeing this scene, Dewey's eye corner muscles picked slightly. It was early in the morning, and he talked to Snowfall for a long night. He was a little tired. When the morning sun was falling on the river, the water was flat with golden light, hippopotamus, the scene was very interesting, but Dewey's heart suddenly remembered a thought: Do the souls of the sailors who died in the water find this scene interesting?

Also, the wreckage of a sinking battleship in a river course, I'm afraid, is still crying in the cold river water!

“What do you see?” Snowfall spoke again and asked softly.

Dewey lifted her eyelids and spoke a little chilly: "What do you want me to answer? ”

“I see… peace.” The sound of snow falling is somewhat of a saintly purity - but this tone makes Dewey's heart a little disgusted, and at this moment, he suddenly hates this elegant elf in front of him and thinks it's so hypocritical!

“Peace?!” Dewey laughed, his laughter filled with irony and hidden anger: “Really? You see peace? Just because these animals in the water are happy in the hip-hop? Enjoying their good times? But I'm sorry, I can't see any peace! Seeing this, I'm thinking of the souls of thousands of human army sailors who died in the river! Think of our battleships sinking in the water! ”

His voice gradually became sharp and he glanced at the snow: “You see peace, but all I see is... shame! The shame of defeat! ”

The snow was silent, and it only sighed slightly: “It seems that war does change, Duke Tulip, that you are now radical and belligerent. ”

Dewey didn't want to make it, blatantly: “From a saint's point of view, war is certainly bad. But for me, a human emotion, I'm willing to stop the war, but only if we're the winners! Peace is not ‘given' by powerful enemies! ”

“Sharp, cold, belligerent, cruel...” The snowy mouth gently revealed one word after another and finally looked at Dewey and laughed: “Is this how you feel now? ”

Snowfall did not respond positively to Dewey's questioning, it was silent and did not know what the Elf King was thinking at the moment.

After a while, he just kept saying, "So, what about north? What do you see? ”

To the north of the fortress, dozens of meters around the city walls, there are countless Orcs, naked on this cold morning with strong muscles, long black hairs, hard work in the morning wind.

They used wooden sticks, shovels, leverage, the northern walls of this fortress that humans worked so hard to build, and they removed the complete stones, piece by piece, and a solid wooden bridge had been built on the river, and the animals used round wood as a wheel, laying planks on it, and then piled the stones that had been removed onto the planks, and they were transported little by the animals to the northern shore like ants.

And on the north bank of the river, far away, one stone after another stood there, and the sound of the other shore boiled, and the animals worked all night.

Too far away, Dewey didn't see it very clearly, but it seemed like he could see the dwarf in that mess.

Just on the north bank of the river, not far from the banks of the river, a stone wall is emerging from the hard work of the beasts. And the surrounding circles were circled, one by one, a piece of wood-built lifting apparatus to turn the stones up —— just like building blocks.

“It's a castle. ”

Snowfall interrupted Dewey's vision: “It will be our first military castle on the Roland continent. A barrier built entirely to the standards of the Orc. ”

“For what?” Dewey laughed coldly.

Snowfall glanced at Dewey: "Built on the north bank of the river to protect our territory. ”

Probably the words "our territory” deeply stabbed Dewey's self-esteem. He was furious and his face didn't have a seizure, but he couldn't help but smear himself: “Oh? Your territory? Where you walked, with swords and weapons, you drove out the original inhabitants and called it 'your territory’? ”

“Expelling the original inhabitants with swords…” Snowfall smiled lightly: “Remember, this is exactly what you did to us 10,000 years ago. ”

The walls to the north of the human fortress have been torn apart, and there are even places where the face cannot be seen, stones, iron implements, etc. Everything useful has been moved by the Orcs to the north bank of the river, where a new castle is built.

“Why don't you use this one you've already occupied? Don't you like the look of it?” Dewey quietly said, "Or do you dislike all human buildings and have to dismantle them and rebuild them? ”

“I told you, you're being a little paranoid.” Snowfall shook its head, facing the sun, with a faint smile on its face: “This is just a purely military consideration. This fortress that we occupy is good, but it is your human territory. Against the river, it is militarily undefended. We will rebuild a new one on the north shore, so...”

“In this way, if we attack back, you will have a complete defense system of rivers and walls… this is the way we used to defend you before we humans, right?” Dewey grinned.

“As I said, I have no territorial ambition for the area south of your river course.” Snow falls again.

Looking at Dewey's indifferent expression, his cold eyes sighed in the snow: “I know what I'm saying, you can't comprehend it all at once. Or you understand it in your heart, but you just can't accept it. ”

“I'm not a saint.” Dewey Cold Cross: “But you... Elf King, you seem to be planning to be a saint. ”

Snow silenced for a while, and it didn't fight back against Dewey's cross-examination, but it took a while to whisper: “Let's go down. I have other gifts for you. ”

……

…………

Dewey knew everything about snowfall: including building a new castle in Hebei.

Because from a military point of view, the fortress they occupy will not be suitable for defence unless the criminals intend to continue their tremendous south invasion.

The defense system will be nearly complete if the channel is added forward.

From this perspective, snowfall is also a euphemism for its position that under its leadership, criminals do not intend to invade south.

Or snowfall is intended to keep the war within a limited range. And once the invasion goes south, both sides will be plunged into the mud of war and will no longer be able to retreat.

And Dewey finally saw what Snow called a "gift” on the city wall.

To the east of the fortress, this was a military camp where the human guards were stationed, but now it is a "prison camp”.

Among the human guards, on the day of the fall of the fortress, some thousands of sergeants finally fell with the fortress, some of whom died and some were captured after being besieged. Some of these people are reluctant to flee because of courage, and some of them, of course, want to run without escaping.

But in any case, these men who insist on fighting to the end are a group worthy of respect.

When Dewey came to this prison camp, there were several teams of Elf warriors outside. Those Elf warriors, dressed in gorgeous armor, were carrying space behind them, like leaf-rolled helmets, handsome looks...

“I can only keep my warriors here. Because the Orcs are hostile to mankind.” Snowfall whispers: “I know that before that, the army of the Orcs had a habit of killing and even eating all the captured humans. However, since my arrival, this practice has been regulated. These prisoners of war are alive and well, and I did not abuse them. However, in order to prevent any undesirable acts of hatred against humanity by the Orcs, I can only keep my men here. ”

Dewey nodded, barely spitting a “thank you” out of her mouth.

Walking into the prisoner of war camp, in the morning, Dewey saw a group of human fighters inside have been lined up.

Although they had lost their weapons and armor and everyone was wearing only one uniform, it seemed that they had not been ill-treated in the days of captivity.

Even to his surprise, Dewey discovered that, despite being captured, they were still carrying out their daily morning routine in the army.

A squad of unarmed generals, lined up, running on the playground in the barracks, out to fuck. Although everyone is silent and can be seen in the gloomy expression of everyone, they are still in a state of low spirituality, but... they are still out there, not completely out of hope because they were captured, and retain the true character of a warrior.

When the snow fell and Dewey walked in, at first, the prisoners of war did not pay attention, but thought that the elves were watching. But then some human generals saw Dewey's face: his clothes, his ears.

Humans! A human being walks with elves!

“Get all the prisoners together, I have something to announce.” Snow falls on the elf warriors under his command.

Soon, these prisoners of war were gathered on the playground, and they remained reluctantly queued according to their pre-capture composition, occasionally some queues were scattered, also because of excessive damage to their composition. But most people keep their heads up and try not to show frustration in front of their enemies - they're still fighting!

Dewey sighs: These are the real elites in Storm Legion.

Unlike those who have been chased for decades by thousands of wolf cavalry, like the dog of the bereaved.

“Warriors of humanity.” Snow fell without any condoms, it soon stood at the top of the queue of prisoners of war and said out loud: “I announce one thing, based on my agreement with the Supreme Commander of your Eastern Front of the Roland Empire, that from now on you will be able to leave here and go home. ”

It's so loud!

There were many shouts in the crowd, and many more were puzzled eyes. However, the queue remains intact.

“These days, I respect you. Because while you were captured, you fought to the last moment to surround this fortress. You are warriors worthy of our respect - although we are in a hostile position.” After the snow had fallen, he nodded and glanced at Dewey.

In a moment, Dewey understood the intention of falling snow!

"You don't have to thank me, because we are enemies, and if we meet again on the battlefield in the future, we won't have to be merciful to each other! I made the decision to let you go back, largely because of a man! ”

He pointed his finger at Dewey: “Your Excellency, as a noble nobleman, he came here alone from your human place, to our army, and he moved and admired me with his perseverance and courage. Lord Tulip, would you like to say something to your warriors? ”

Dwimmer walked up and stood in front of the snow, looking at the thousands of amazing eyes below.

Then he raised his hand and did a standard Roland Empire pass military ceremony.

A ceremony that instantly lets thousands of pairs of eyes exude immense excitement and heat!

His voice trembled a little: "Brave warriors! I'm sure you've all heard of my name, Dewey Rollin Rudolph, Imperial Seal of the Duke of Tulip, Empire Admiral, and now Lord of the Eastern Front! ”

Boom!

The crowd was no longer able to remain silent and immediately made loud noises and shouts, filled with joy and excitement!

“Duke! Lord Duchess of Tulip! ”

“The Duchess is here to pick us up! ”

“We are not abandoned!! ”

The voice covered Dewey, he took a deep breath and shouted with his loudest voice: "Be quiet! Gentlemen!! I am here today and I will take you all back! You can get out of here and go home!! As our enemies have said, you have no place to be inferior, because you have done your duty well and have fought here to the last minute! Captured is not your fault!! So now, please get your chests up! ”

After listening to Dewey, everyone unconsciously tried to straighten the waist bar, even many people with bandages and injuries tried to straighten up!

“Remember my words! You came back with pride!” Dewey said here, once again did a military ceremony.

At this time, a few of the prisoners of war suddenly stepped out, and they flew to the front of the queue, turning around and yelling out loud in the voice of Homai: "XXXX regiment! XXX Battalion queue!! XXX queue!!! ”

The shouting order sounded, the queue just appeared slightly confused in excitement, quickly neat, people with excitement on their faces, laughter, even tears, but quickly restored the true color of the warrior in the order, ordered neatly.

A few of them turned around, raised their heads, and walked to Dewey.

“My Lord! Storm Legion 11th Division 6th Infantry Legion..."

“4th Infantry Regiment…

“2nd Regiment XX, Contingent Army Division, theatre…”

“ ………… ”

“ …………………… ”

Several high-ranking officers who were captured reported to Dewey with an excited and trembling voice. Instead of marching, Dewey walked up one by one and embraced them vigorously. After being embraced by him, some officers even burst into tears on the spot.

Among the captured generals, senior officers included four commanders, six deputy commanders and even a deputy division leader who was seriously injured in the struggle against the Dragons, as well as a number of low- and middle-class officers.

These people, each looking at Dewey, are filled with excitement and excitement, and a deep, unspeakable gratitude!

Dewey was watched by this pair of enthusiastic eyes, excited, unable to calm down, and it took a while before he gave the order: "Everyone prepare, we leave after noon… go home! ”

……

…………

“Do you like this gift?” As he walked out of the POW camp, the snow fell on Dewey and his smile was a little too high to be measured.

“A big gift.” Dewey's expression suddenly cooled down.

“Most of these men are true elite warriors.” Snowfall: “There are also some officers of high rank. When they return, I think, under your protection, a number of people will soon be reinstated and even promoted. Well, let me think, according to your human rank, those ranks can be promoted to Major General, Vice President to Commander... and these people will be senior officers! More importantly... because you came to rescue them yourself. So in the future, these people will miss you, and your prestige will be firmly established among them! With such a bunch of people back and reintegrated into your army, your reputation in the army will be no different! My Duke! ”

Dewey looked vigilantly at the snow: “It was a gift. But what do you want? ”

“An ally.” Snow falls without concealing the answer.

It paused and stared deeply at Dewey: “I have told you my ideals - I will choose an extremely difficult path on which I cannot myself. I need someone in your human camp who is truly intelligent and weighty, with my usual goals! ”

Instead of answering the question directly, Dewey stared into the snowfall's eyes: "I am your enemy! ”

“Yes, the enemy. I'm also your enemy.” Snow is smiling: “But isn't that a challenging and difficult cause? Enemies and enemies can have the same goal. ”

Speaking, it reached out and looked at Dewey.

Without shaking hands with the snow, Dewey walked straight past it and kept walking forward. Far away, she threw back a sentence: "Are you really a saint? I never believed in saints because they were hypocritical. ”

Though Dewey did not say yes, the snow seemed to smile happily, and it retracted its hand and walked up.

“I agree with you on the point that war should be kept within limits and that none of us can wipe out the absolute. But… even in the pursuit of peace, I insist: it must be under the premise that I am the victor! ”

“I am deeply in agreement with that. ”

Snow falls side by side with Dewey: "So let's fight this‘ limited war '! See who can stand in the winner's position at the end to talk about peace! ”

“You're not only a saint, you're a madman.” Dewey grinned.

“I have looked carefully at your human history. In your history, all saints, are already madmen. ”

————————————————————————————

At dusk, about 50 miles south of the fallen fortress, a human cavalry of about a thousand people was waiting nervously on the wilderness beside the road.

Everyone, from junior officers to soldiers, looked nervous, and the cavalry's leader, the cadet captain of the military academy, Yalol, was next to Dewey's younger brother Gabriel.

The two of them waited anxiously for a while, and Gabriel was already a little impatient: “No! I'll show them! ”

“Be patient.” Aarol sighed and drank, holding Gabriel in one hand: "Didn't the Duke say so? He had an idea of course. ”

“But... damn it!” Gabriel angry: “Brother, how can he go to the enemy camp alone and quietly!! He is the commander, it is too dangerous!! ”

Speaking, he glanced angrily at Aarol: "You and I are telling the truth, you know this before you know it! ”

“If I had known, I would have stopped adults from doing so, even if I had put my head down! If I can't stop him, I'll go with him.” Yalol's smile is a little bitter: “Like you, I was told this morning by a magician named Gerber. ”

He sighed: “The Duchess has always done things with certainty, maybe he really has plans. ”

“When he gets back, I will definitely...” Gabriel smoked his own horse in anger.

At this moment, a cavalry shouted out in front: "Look, there's movement ahead!! ”

After a roar, all the cavalry mounted on horseback and were ready for battle.

Very open, north of the road, a figure appeared in the distance, close, only to the front of the queue, on a battle horse, was Dewey himself! Behind him, several battles were immediately carried by officers in the empire's simplest uniform. (Even before Dewey left, Snow sent some of the captured human horses to Dewey, who remained in their hands without much use anyway. Orcs don't ride horses, and the biggest use of these horses is serving as food.

The long queue behind them, full of thousands of people, are human soldiers, unarmed and unarmed, who are walking in line on the road, not in a hurry and maintaining a rigorous queue. A lot of people still have scars...

Dewey saw the distant flag and recognised that it was his own army that picked it up. He stopped the horse and smiled at some of the officers behind him: “In front are our people… Now we are really going home. ”

At this time, one of the most seriously injured generals in the queue, barely rushed to the front of Dewey, the man immediately, but profoundly bowed down and did one of the most respectful courtesies to Dewey.

“My lord.” Originally pale from injury, this general's face has risen red at this moment: “You go to the enemy camp alone and rescue us… I will never forget such a blessing! As long as I live for one day, I will die for every single order you make! ”

He first opened his mouth, and then many officers in the back came in front of Dewey, some on foot, one knee on the ground, saluted Dewey, and some turned down. Although the folks behind didn't say anything anymore, everyone's expression and eyes have explained something.

Dewey understands that these people, in the future, their hearts, have sworn to serve themselves in death.

As long as these 3,000 people return to the army, re-dissolve into the army, disperse, and according to their performance in battle, take care of themselves a little bit, make some promotions, many will become officers, then... these 100,000 armies will firmly establish their prestige...

And far away from the Imperial Royal Family, the wise Regent, he might not have thought, to bring himself to the front and throw himself into a hundred thousand strange armies, such a plan, though brilliant.

But… in this particular situation, everything has changed dramatically!

However, neither the look on Dewey's face, nor his inner heart, has a slight sense of joy at this moment...

——————————————————————————————

When he met Yarol and Gabriel, Dewey didn't say anything. He looked very serious. Instead of letting Gabriel and Yalol complain in their stomachs, they shut their mouths and put away their original complaints.

The queues of prisoners of war and cavalry quickly merged together, and the soldiers began to cheer the sparrows.

Dewey and his brother looked at each other for a while before saying the first sentence: "They are all captured fighters, treat them well, they are all warriors. ”

Arol and Gabriel were somewhat surprised, and Gabriel just said, "You… you saved all the prisoners of war? ”

“Not all of them.” When Dewey said it here, the corner of his mouth leaned: "Not all of it. ”

Rohit, the young man, stayed with the snow until he left himself.

Snow fell generously releasing thousands of prisoners of war to themselves. And Rohit was alone, and it remained resolute. Even if Dewey talks to someone it wants, the snow falls and Dewey resolutely refuses.
