Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 50: The army gathers (part 2)

"General, the enemy has been repelled by us!" Seeing the Latin army retreating, the Argos city defenders who followed the Carrods match excitedly said. They had taken the initiative to kill the ground with a determination to die, but they never Wanted to successfully repel the enemy and lifted the siege of Argos. Not only did the Latins not finish setting up their positions, they even burned out the wood they had just prepared to make siege equipment.

This battle can be won! After the victory in the first battle, the morale of the Roman soldiers all jumped for joy and summoned the courage to continue fighting.

But Carrodsey looked at the dust raised by Lading's defeat with a cold face, without the slightest optimism in his heart. Because he knew that the enemy was only retreating temporarily. Just now they just fought a surprise, and the losses they caused would never let this Latin army just let it go. Not to mention that these people are just the vanguard, and the opposing force is not far from here.

However, despite the severe situation, Carrods decided to attack, the reason is that he wants to grasp the initiative on the battlefield as much as possible, now it seems that at least they have bought time for them.

"Go back to Mystras immediately and ask for help from Lord Justinian and tell him that the Latin is coming!" The decisive veteran immediately ordered, and seeing that his officer was so solemn, the soldiers who had just been ecstatic just now also Calm down. That's right, they did win the battle just now, but the other party will come back sooner or later, and only a few hundred of them will guard this place. It is absolutely unstoppable. They must ask Lord Justinian for help.

"Godric, you go!"

After making a decision, Carrodzai's gaze swept across the cavalry around him, and he selected one of the young men, while the others looked at him and did not speak, and they had no objection to the decision—though Whoever is selected means more likely to be alive.

However, the young man named Godric seemed unwilling to accept his commander’s orders and mumbled unhappily: "...sir, I can stay and fight with you. This matter can be handed over to Old John. ."

"Hu, you kid can really brag, where can you stay and replace me!" The old John on the side laughed and cursed, "Since Lord Carrodsai has given the order, he will obey the instructions. Let's leave you and shout. Reinforcement."

In the teasing of other seniors, Godric's face turned red and still wanted to defend something, and wanted to stay and fight with everyone. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Carrod Race.

"Have you forgotten the first sentence I taught you in the barracks? Obey the order! The burden on your shoulders is no lighter than ours. Now the life and death of the whole city is on you. Every second you delay now is Joking about the lives of all of us."

"But father--" Godric, who was reprimanded and could not hold his head up, finally couldn't help but shouted out the habitual name.

However, Carrodesi used steel-like blunt words to silence his mouth again, "No, but you can only call me Master Carrodesi if you wear a military uniform. John, to Godric Prepare the fastest horse, I want him to start now. So the Latins won’t find our purpose."

"Good!" Old John, who smiled, brought two fast horses that he had prepared, and whispered to Godric who still didn't want to leave. "Your father is also worried about you. You should be considerate of him. "

As he said, the man patted the horse's butt, "It's them, the black beauty, the two best horses I have, but they are a bit wild, and you have to treat them like a woman. Remember to transfer, this should be within a day You can reach Mystras. Our lives are on your behalf."

After John had finished speaking, all the other veterans present laughed loudly. They all grew up watching the kid in front of them, and naturally they didn't want him to be in a dangerous situation. Although they could be there in one day, it was unknown how many people Mistras could gather as soon as possible.

Godric naturally knew what the old guys were doing, but he also knew that they would never let himself stay. After wiping his eyes, the young man gritted his teeth and nodded: "Don't worry. , I will definitely bring the news, and you must hold on to it. I will definitely bring back reinforcements."

Godric took the horse given to him by the veteran John, and looked at everyone in front of him and nodded, and after the exchange, his firm gaze was worth a thousand words.

The figure of Godric, who was looking southward for help, moved further and further away from them, and finally disappeared completely. The smiles on the faces of the veterans at this moment gradually disappeared.

Just listen to old John quietly asking: "Boss~www.ltnovel.com~ Do you say that Mystras will take care of us to send out reinforcements?"

"It's hard to say..." Looking at the sky in the distance, Carrodsay shook his head.

And his subordinates smiled bitterly and said: "It's not easy to say. Hey! What is the most familiar thing that Shangguan said on the battlefield-it is the **** at all costs. And we are the price... Mystras may already have a preparation plan, but obviously it will not change because of us."

After so many years of fighting and fighting, these veterans have already recognized the reality. They are not resenting the people above, but have been changed by the cruel war and no longer believe in anyone, except for themselves and their brothers who were born and died.

"Okay," Carrodsai suddenly interrupted the dull conversation, and calmly scanned the faces of everyone in front of him-the faces of his subordinates.

"As a soldier, this body has been handed over to the country, and it is our homeland that is desperately defending. We will indeed have a hard fight next, but I hope you will not say any more discouraging words. Lord Justinian and The nobles in the past are different, and I don’t think I need to repeat anything."

"We are not afraid of death. What we fear is that death has no place."

"Masters, please be ready to fight with the Latins with me to the end. Until the end of the day, it is my honor to fight with you." Carrodsai raised the sword in his hand and said, and the atmosphere was originally suppressed at this moment. It was instantly washed away by the blood of the man on the battlefield.

The soldiers also raised their weapons above their heads, looked at their chief with enthusiasm and determination, and said:

"It is also our honor. We are willing to fight for you, fight for Lord Justinian, and fight for the empire and our homeland!"
