Chapter 5 The Past That Belongs (2)

As usual, Dudeba handed over his work with his old friend Ferede in the Belvedes Tower in Laidan Army Town. Dudeba, who had been in Laidan Army Town for seven years, seemed not concerned about this invasion of the Osasu barbarians. Perhaps most soldiers who served as a soldier as long as he had had this idea.

For every invasion of the Osasu barbarians, the dangers and losses faced by the Laidan Army Town were the lowest among other military towns. The most serious combat losses occurred five years ago, but that time, only a large group of troops in the Laidan Army Town were reduced.

Moreover, in that battle against the Osasu barbarians, there was no such war reduction. At that time, there was a small number of Osasu barbarians wandering outside the town of Laidan. The purpose of these Osasu barbarians, who did not even have siege equipment, was just a warning to investigate the movements of the Laidan army.

However, at that time, a group of noble officials from the royal capital encouraged the legion commander to attack the Osasu barbarian army outside the town for their merits.

Dudeba was a new recruit who had not yet left the rookie. In that battle against the Osasu barbarians, as a member of training their combat abilities, Dudeba was selected to raid the attack sequence of the Osasu barbarians outside the town. In the battle with about 300 Osasu barbarians outside the town, Dudeba experienced the powerful combat ability of the Osasu barbarians, and even the closest experience in his life to death.

In the more than 2,000 attack team dispatched by the Laidan Army, after the cavalry brigade divided the Osasu barbarians in a round of fierce attacks, Dudeba immediately rushed up with the team as a shield and sword soldier. Faced with the strong and fierce Osasu barbarians, two or three soldiers could kill the other party.

At that time, Dudeba made a mistake in facing the Osasu barbarians. Soldiers like him who had not left the rookie had never been exposed to several real battles. This time, the battle was also accumulating war experience with the veterans.

Dudeba clearly remembered that under the cover of the veteran, he had plucked up the greatest courage in his life and slashed the cheek of the Osasu barbarian facing with a sword. Dudeba, who thought the other party would die, suddenly relaxed and prepared to howl and vent his depression in his heart.

But before he could vent his emotions, he saw the Osasu barbarian who had "cut" him with blood on his face, and raised his axe in a hideous and demonic image. He immediately scared Dudeba, who was sank to the ground, his head was blank and he thought he would die. When the terrifying Osasu barbarian suddenly flew his head, and blood in his neck sprayed on his body, he was stunned on the spot!

"Rookie! Never treat the Osasu barbarians as their kind. Their strong will to survive is a terrifying thing you can't imagine. Remember, you can't show any underestimation or relaxation when facing an enemy. Only by truly confirming the death of the other party is victory!"

Dudeba has kept the words of the veteran in mind until now, but what makes him sad is that the veteran who once saved his life died with an Osasu barbarian in the end.

In the future, Dudeba got the position of guard of the Belvedere Tower. When faced with several times when the Osasu barbarians wandered outside the military town, Laidan never easily sent troops to attack. The smoke of war seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and his years of safety began to relax his Osasu barbarians and no longer as passionate and impulsive as when he was young.

After this year, Dudeba, who is about to retire and return to his hometown, began to look forward to his future life. Maybe with his years of military experience, he will have a good job in his hometown.

Looking upstairs, Dudeba stretched his waist lazily and looked at the plains in the distance in Laidan Jun Town. The plains in the distance were the place where he had fought. In the future, he could show off his heroic deeds when telling stories to his grandson. However, he would never tell the matter of being scared and paralyzed!

Hum? What sound?

Dudeba looked at the distant plain and shook his head. The heavy and depressing sound was getting clearer and clearer into his ears. A cavalry holding a big banner suddenly appeared in Dudeba's sight in the distant plain!

That's it?! The Osasu barbarian? The sudden ominous premonition appeared in Dudeba's heart!

The Osasu barbarian cavalry, which seemed to be connected to the sky, gradually appeared in front of Dudeba. Dudeba's breathing came to a standstill. He seemed to have returned to his experience of fighting the Osasu barbarians as a rookie soldier. He never forgot that scene in his life. This time, that feeling appeared again!

horn!

The sound of the first-level military horn made Dudeba wake up immediately! He knew that the invasion of the Osasu barbarians this time would not be as simple as before, and the situation in the Laidan military town would fall into the biggest crisis!

The sound of the first-level military alert caused the entire Laidan military town to be in chaos. From civilians to soldiers, officers to corps commanders, everyone became panic after a brief shock amid the sound of the military horns.

I don’t know how long it took to hear the sound of a first-level military horn. Some people who were lucky enough to arrive on the wall of the military town, and when they saw the dark army of Osasu barbarians in the distance, they knew that the most unknown premonition had happened!

Laidan Military Town has not experienced large wars for many years, and even small wars rarely touched. Nowadays, veterans who have participated in wars in Laidan Military Town are no longer as good as before. In addition, a group of noble children and young officials who came from the capital, the situation is worrying and negative.

Dudeba's cheeks began to flush with his horns. After seeing the soldiers in the town gathering, he felt relieved. His responsibilities were finally fulfilled. As long as the soldiers gathered quickly and prepared, they might not be unable to defend against Laidan Army Town in time.

"call out!"

The sharp sound of shaking the air was not obvious in the chaos and noisy. Just as Dudeba was alert, a feather arrow hit his face instantly. Dudeba, whose eyes were wide open, knew that he was finished, and his whole body and mind became dark. His limbs were uncontrollable and he was shot down from the View Tower by the feather arrow, and the sound of the horn came to an abrupt end.

When Oble heard the sound of the horn, he gathered his hands urgently. Although he was extremely worried about his home, he knew the severity of the matter. If he could not guard the town of Laidan, it would be useless even if he was worried.

When lower-level officers like Oble gathered their subordinates, they surprised that the sergeant chiefs on their heads did not appear to lead their next action!

This is really bad news. You must know that the army always has one level command. If they lose their superiors' instructions, they will be like headless flies and don't know what to do. If they act without authorization, they will be dealt with by military law in the future.

The commander of the Ledan Army Town, Nefar, was so angry that he shattered the tables and chairs beside him with a sword. His guards returned that most of the nobles from the royal capital were packing up their bags and preparing to escape from the Ledan Army Town. Such a cowardly and incompetent approach made him extremely angry. At such a critical and important moment, he was just thinking about escaping. If he could not resist the attack of the Osasu barbarians, would they think they could run away?

The only thing that made him feel a little comforted was that the soldiers had been assembled by the lower-level officers. A few noble chiefs who were responsible had taken on their own duties and began to command the headquarters to carry out defensive operations. Nefar is now wearing armor, and it seems that he needs to take action to stabilize the morale of the army and command the battle himself.

The news that the nobles and chiefs of the nobles did not appear and wanted to escape was soon spread throughout the army. Such bad news also reduced the morale of the army to freezing point. After the commander of the Nefar Legion appeared, the temporary combat commander who had begun to continuously dispatch troops to command the battle personally also made the soldiers' confidence fluctuate. The weak and incompetent nobles' children and non-commissioned officers were all wastes. Only by relying on themselves can they protect everything in the town of Laidan, because their families are here. This is their belief in fighting!

The Osasu barbarians' attack was very fast and decisive. Before Nefar had fully arranged the focus of the soldiers' combat position, the Osasu barbarians' vanguards had already approached the Laidan army with commanding siege equipment first, and the cruel battle was ignited at that moment.

Nefar constantly received returns from information on the battlefield of his guards. The battle reports made him feel cold. Some of the Osasu barbarians had climbed up to the city wall and began to fight with the guards. The city gate was about to be broken by a group of Osasu barbarian suicide squads. All defense priorities were facing crisis situations... Nefar knew that the attack on the Ledan Army Town was inevitable. Such a fierce offensive seemed to have been expected. If the Ledan Army Town was broken, a gap would be opened in the northern defense line. Although the gap was small, it could allow the Osasu barbarians' army to continuously break into other military towns to encircle other military towns. What's even more terrifying is that if they attacked the northern defense line, the Osasu barbarian army would definitely drive straight into the hinterland of the kingdom, and then the Kingdom of Adria would be in absolute passive at that time.

Nefar remained silent without saying a word, his clenched fists showed his current mood. The few non-commissioned officers next to him were panicked and waiting for the next battle decision of the Legion Commander. The current critical situation also made them desperate, hoping that Lord Nefar could have some way to turn everything around.

"Notify all troops who have not participated in frontal combat to retreat and gather! The gate of Laidan could no longer defend, let the soldiers prepare for street fighting! Fight all the troops and kill every Osasu barbarian who invaded to the greatest extent, and let the cavalry brigade under Djohan dispatch a part of them, divide them into several groups to ask for help from the rear and other military towns!"

Nefar said with cold and sharp eyes glanced at his men for a week and made a decision.
