Chapter 619 [The Gift of Falling Snow]

"What did you see?"

On the wall north of the fortress, under the command of falling snow, there were no other figures on the surrounding walls, only the snow and Duwei's hand-held wall looked north. Rohat quietly stood a few steps behind him.

Falling snow pointed to the north and turned back to Du Wei with a smile.

Along the falling snow fingers, Du Wei looked. In the north, the far down the city was the river defense that was once regarded as the most stable by human beings. The Luolan Empire spent a lot of manpower and invested a lot of money to excavate the broadness. Of course, the artificial river is full of gold coins donated by Du Wei.

This river, plus this fortress, was once the eastern defense line that human beings regarded as impregnable. Now, the river has become the world of orcs.

In the direction of falling snow fingers, Du Wei even faintly can see that in the shallow waters of the river, there is a huge figure immersed in the water, which is the orc who once annihilated the human warships stationed here. Hippo's underwater warriors.

At this moment, the river became the site of the hippopotamus. The huge figures roared in the river and enjoyed the fun of the water.

Seeing this scene, Du Wei’s eye muscles were gently picked up. It was already early in the morning. He talked with the snow for a night. He was slightly tired. When the morning sun fell on the river, the water surface was glowing. The scales are golden, the hippo is playing, and the scene is very interesting. But in Du Wei’s heart, I suddenly think of a thought: Do the souls of the sailors who died in the water feel that this scene is interesting?

Also, the wreckage of the ship that sank in the river. I am afraid I will cry in the cold river!

"What did you see?" The snow fell again and asked gently.

Du Wei raised his eyelids and his tone was a bit cold: "What do you want me to answer?"

"I saw...peace." The sound of falling snow is almost pure to the saint's purity. This kind of tone makes Du Wei feel a little disgusted in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly hates the elegant elf in front of him and thinks it is real. It is hypocrisy to the extreme!

“Peace?!” Du Wei laughed. His laughter was full of irony and faint anger: “Is it? You saw peace? Just because the animals in these waters are playing in joy? Enjoy their beauty. Time? But sorry. I can't see a trace of peace! Seeing this, my mind is the soul of thousands of human army sailors who died in the river! I think of our warships that sink in the water! ”

His voice gradually became sharper, and he slammed the snow and said: "You saw peace, but I saw the ground, only... shame! The shame of defeat!"

The snow was silent, and it was silent for a while before it sighed: "It seems that the war will indeed change, the Duke of Tulips. You are now radical and militant."

Du Wei did not want to let, said: "From the saint's point of view, the war is of course not good. But from me, a human emotion, I am willing to stop the war, but the premise is: we are the premise of the victor Above! Peace is not relying on a powerful enemy 'reward'!"

"Sharp, cold, militant. Cruel..." Gently spit out one word after another in the mouth of the snow, and finally looked at Du Wei with a bitter smile: "Is this your mood?"

Snow fell without a positive reaction to Du Wei's questioning. It was silent, not knowing what the Elf King was thinking at the moment.

After a while, it continued to say: "So, go further north? What did you see?"

On the north side of the fortress, there are countless orcs around the walls dozens of meters away. In this cold morning, bare upper body, bare muscles, black long hair, hard work in the morning breeze.

They used wooden sticks, shovel, and levers to build the northern wall of the fortress that the people worked so hard. Will those complete stones. The pieces were removed one by one, and a solid wooden bridge was built on the river. The orcs use the logs as the wheels, laying the planks on them, and then stacking the ground stones and stacking them on the boards, and then the orcs are transported to the north bank like little ants.

On the north bank of the river, in the distance, a pile of stone stands there, and the sound of the shore is full, and the orcs work all night.

Too far away, Du Wei didn't see it clearly, but it seemed to be faintly visible in the chaos and the dwarf.

Just on the north bank of the river, not far from the riverside, a stone wall is beginning to take shape under the hard work of the orcs. The surrounding circle was circled, and a sling that was built with wood lifted the stone as if it were a building block.

"That is a castle."

The snow broke Du Wei’s wait and see: “That will be the first military castle we built on the Roland continent. A barrier built entirely to the orc standards.”

"What are you doing?" Du Wei sneered.

Snow fell and looked at Du Wei: "built on the north bank of the river to protect our territory."

Probably the words "our territory" deeply stabbed Du Wei's self-respect. He was furious and had no episodes on his face, but his voice was involuntarily thin: "Oh? Your territory? You With the place you walked, as long as you carry the sword weapon and drive away the original occupants, it is called 'your territory'?"

"Use the sword to drive away the original occupants..." Snow smiled softly: "Don't forget, this is what you did to us 10,000 years ago."

The walls of the north side of the human fortress have been demolished, and even some places can't be seen even in their original colors. Stones, irons, etc., all the useful things are carried by the orcs to the north bank of the river, where Build a new castle.

"Why don't you have the one you have already occupied? Don't you like its shape?" Du Wei said: "Or do you not like all human buildings, must you rebuild after re-opening?"

"I said, you are a bit extreme now." The snow fell and shook his head. Under the sun, there was a faint smile on his face: "This is just a simple military consideration. The fortress we occupied is good, but This is the territory of your humanity. And it is backed by the river. Military is not conducive to defense. We will rebuild one on the north bank, so..."

"In this way, if we counterattack, you will have a complete defense system for rivers and walls... This is the way we used to defend you before humans, right." Du Wei sneered.

"I said, I have no territorial ambitions for the places south of your river." Snow fell once again.

Looking at Du Wei's indifferent expression, cold eyes, Snow sighed in his heart: "I know that I said this. You can't fully understand it for a while. Or you understand it, but you can't accept it."

"I am not a saint." Du Wei's cold resentment: "But you... Elf King, you seem to be planning to be a saint."

The snow was silent for a while, and it did not counterattack against Du Wei’s rebellion. It was only after a while that he whispered: "Let's go. I have other gifts for you."

......

......

Du Wei understands everything about falling snow: including building a new castle in Hebei.

Because from a military point of view, unless the sinners intend to continue the invasion of the south, the fortress they occupy is not suitable for defense.

If you add the river in front. The defense system can be further complete.

From this perspective, Snowfall is also euphemistically expressing its position: under its leadership, the sinners did not plan to invade southwardly.

Or to say: Falling snow intends to control the war within a limited range. Once the south invaded, the two sides will fall into the quagmire of war and can no longer withdraw.

And the snow fell on the wall to say "gift." Du Wei also finally saw it.

In the east of the fortress, it was originally a military battalion stationed by human defenders, but now it has become a "prisoner of war camp."

Among the human defenders. On the day of the fall of the fortress, and finally insisting on heroic hardships, there were thousands of soldiers who finally fell with the fortress. Some of them died in battle and some were captured and captured. Some of these people are reluctant to escape because of their courage. Of course, there are also some. I want to run but I can't run away.

But in any case, these soldiers who insist on fighting to the last are all worthy of respect.

When Du Wei came to this prisoner of war camp, there were several elves of warriors outside. The warriors of the elves were dressed in gorgeous armor, carrying space behind them, like a helmet with leaves. Handsome looks...

"I can only let my warriors guard this place. Because the orcs are full of hostility towards humans." Snow fell whispered: "I know, before this. The orc army has killed or even eaten all the captured humans. Habits. But after I arrived, I have already bound this practice. These prisoners of war are living very well, and I have not abused them. However, in order to prevent those orcs from doing something bad to humanity, I can only let my people guard this place."

Du Wei nodded and barely spit out a "thank you" from his mouth.

Into the prisoner of war camp, in the morning, Du Wei saw that a group of human warriors in the team had been lined up.

Although they lost their weapons and armor, everyone was wearing only one uniform, but it seems that they were not abused during the captive period.

Even Du Wei was surprised to discover that despite being captured, they were still doing the morning exercises routinely in the military.

A team of unarmed soldiers, listed in this team, running in the playground of the military camp, out of exercise. Although everyone is very silent, they can see that their mental state is depressed in everyone's gloomy expression, but... they still keep running out after all, not completely lost hope because of being captured, but also maintain the true nature of the warrior.

When the snow fell and Du Wei walked in, at the beginning, these prisoners of war did not pay attention, only thought that the elves came to monitor. Later, some human soldiers saw the appearance of Du Wei: his wear, and his ears.

Humanity! It is actually a human being and an elf walking together!

"Let all the prisoners of war get together, I have something to announce." The elf warrior under the snowfall commanded.

Soon, these prisoners of war were gathered in the playground, and they remained barely in line with the preparations before the capture. Occasionally some of the queues were scattered, and the damage was too severe. But most people are holding their heads up and trying to show no frustration in front of the enemy. They still keep fighting!

Du Wei’s heart sighed: These people are really elite in the Stormtroopers.

It is different from those who have been chased by dozens of wolf cavalry for dozens of miles, like a dog of a family.

"You human warriors." There is nothing in the snow, it quickly stood at the front of the queue of these prisoners of war, and said aloud: "I announced one thing, according to me and the supreme commander of the eastern front of your Roland empire. Deliberation results. From today, you will be able to leave here and go home."

A piece of glory!

There were a lot of exclamations in the crowd, and more people were throwing doubts. However, the queue is still intact.

"These days, I respect you. Because you are captured, but in order to surround this fortress, you fight to the last moment. You are the soldiers worthy of our respect, although we are in a hostile position." After the snow fell, nodded . I saw Du Wei.

In an instant, Du Wei understood the intention of falling snow!

I heard the falling snow and continued to say aloud: "You don't have to thank me because we are enemies. If we meet again on the battlefield in the future, we will not bother with each other! I made the decision to let you go back. The reason is because A person!"

Said, its finger pointed to Du Wei: "This lord, as a noble noble. He came here from your human place and came to our army. He used his determination and courage. Let me move, let me admire. Lord Duke of Tulips, what do you want to say to your soldiers?"

Du Wei silently walked up and stood in front of the falling snow, watching the thousands of horrified eyes below.

Then he raised his hand. Made a standard military ceremony for the Roland Empire.

A military ceremony, immediately let thousands of pairs of eyes, a very exciting and fiery!

His voice was a little trembling: "You brave warriors! I think, you must have heard of my name, my name is Du Wei Luo Lin Rudolph, the imperial confession of the Duke of the Tulip, the Imperial Admiral, and the incumbent. Eastern Front Lord!"

boom!

The crowd can no longer remain silent. Immediately sent out awkward screams and shouts, the voice filled with joy and excitement!

"Duke! The Duke of Tulips!"

"The Duke is coming to pick us up!"

"We have not been abandoned!!"

The voice shrouded Du Wei. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly with the loudest voice: "Quiet! Everyone!! I am here today, I will take you all back! You can leave here and go home!! As our enemy said You don’t have any place to be inferior, because you have done your job well and fight here to the last moment! It’s not your fault to be captured!! So, now, please raise your chest!”

After listening to Du Wei’s words, everyone unconsciously tried to straighten their waists, and even many people with bandages and injured people struggled to stand up straight!

"Remember my words! You are going back to the ground with pride!" Du Wei said here, once again a military ceremony.

At this time, among the prisoners of war, several people suddenly strode out. These people quickly came to the forefront of the queue, turned around, and shouted with a heroic voice: "xxxx group! **** camp Line up!!xxx lined up!!!"

A screaming scream, the queue that was just a little confused in the excitement, quickly tidy up, people with excitement, laughter, and even tears, but quickly restored the true colors of the soldiers in the command. According to the neat arrangement of the queue.

The few people who were listed turned around and stood tall and strode to Du Wei.

"Adult! The Sixth Infantry Regiment of the 11th Division of the Stormtroopers..."

"The Fourth Heavy Infantry Regiment...

"The XXth Regiment of the Second Division of the Theater Special Duty Guard..."

"..."

"........."

A few high-ranking military officers reported to Du Wei with an excited and trembling voice. Du Wei did not go to the military ceremony, but went up one by one and hardly embraced these officers and was embraced by him. Some officers even shed tears on the spot.

In the captives, the senior officers included four commanders, six deputy commanders, and even a deputy head of the division who was seriously injured in the struggle with the dragons, as well as a number of middle and low-ranking officers.

These people, every look of Du Wei's eyes are full of excitement and excitement, and there is a deep gratitude that cannot be described in words!

Du Wei was stared at by this pair of eager eyes. Excited in the heart, unable to calm down, after a while, he issued an order: "Everyone is ready, we will leave after noon... Go home!"

......

......

"Do you like this gift?" When he walked out of the prison camp, he looked at Du Wei in the snow, and his smile was a bit unpredictable.

"A big gift." Du Wei's expression suddenly cooled down.

"Most of these people are real elite warriors." Snow fell faintly: "There are some officers who are not low-level. After they go back. I think under your protection, many people will soon Regaining the military position and even getting promoted. Well, let me think about it, according to your human ranks. Those leading levels can be promoted to major generals, vice commanders to become leaders... and these people will become senior officers! More important Yes...because you came to save them personally. So, in the future, these people will feel grace for you. Your prestige will be firmly erected among them! With such a group of people going back, re- Dissolving into your army will make your reputation in the army a second! My Duke!"

Du Wei looked at the snow with vigilance: "It's a gift. But what do you want?"

"An ally." The snow did not hide the answer.

It paused and stared deeply at Du Wei: "I have told you that I will choose an extremely difficult road. On this road, I can't do it myself. I need to be in your human camp. There is a real person with wisdom and high weight. Holding the goal that I have always been with!"

Du Wei did not answer this question directly, but stared at the falling snow: "I am your enemy!"

"Yes, it is the enemy. I am also your enemy." Snow is smiling: "Can this be a very challenging and difficult undertaking? Enemies and enemies can have the same goal."

Said, it reached out and looked at Du Wei.

Du Wei did not shake hands with the falling snow, but went straight to it and walked forward. Far away. I turned back and said: "Are you really a saint? Falling snow? I never believe in saints, because saints are hypocritical."

Although Du Wei did not agree. But the snow fell like a smile, and it took back the hand and strode up.

"I agree with you that the war should be controlled within a limited range. We can't completely destroy the absolute side. But... even if it is to pursue peace, I insist on one thing: it must be the premise of me as the victor. under!"

"I agree with this."

Falling Snow and Du Wei walk side by side: "So, just in this 'limited war', let's fight for it! Look at who can stand in the position of the winner to talk about peace!"

"You are not only a saint, but a madman." Du Wei sneered.

"I have carefully seen the history of your humanity. In your history, all saints are mad."

In the evening, about fifty miles south of the Fortress, a human cavalry of about a thousand people was waiting nervously on the wilderness beside the road.

From the junior officers to the soldiers, everyone is a nervous face, and the leader of the cavalry is the leader of the military academy, Yallor, and his side is Du Wei’s brother Gabri.

The two waited anxiously for a while, and Gabriel had some resistance: "No! I will take someone to see!"

"Take it up again." Yallol sighed and grabbed Gabriel. "Isn't the Duke's adult say it? He naturally has an idea."

"But... **** it!" Gabri angered and said: "How can he quietly go to the enemy camp alone!! He is the coach. This move is too dangerous!!"

He said, he looked at Yallal without anger: "You tell me the truth, this thing, you know beforehand!"

"If I know, even if I put my head down, I will definitely stop the adults from doing this! If it can't stop it, I will follow him." Yall's smile is bitter: "I am like you, It’s all this morning. The magician named Gege Wu told me.”

He said, he sighed: "The Duke is always very confident in doing things, maybe he really has any plans."

"When he comes back, I will definitely want to..." Gabri irritated his own horse.

At this time, the cavalry in front of it shouted out loudly: "Look, there is movement in front!!"

After a bark, all the cavalry immediately boarded the horse and prepared for the battle.

Very open. In the north of the road, there was a figure in the distance, and I walked closer, only to see the front of the queue, above a horse. It is Du Wei himself! Behind him, several battles were immediately the officers of the army's simplest military uniform. (The snow fell to Duwei before the departure of Du Wei, and some of the human horses of the captives were given to Du Wei. Anyway, these horses remain in their hands. There is not much use. The orcs will not ride horses. The greatest use of these horses is Act as food.)

Behind the long queue, there are thousands of people, all human soldiers without armor and weapons. These people walked on the road, the speed is not urgent, and they maintain a strict queue. Many people still have scars on them...

Du Wei saw the banner in the distance and recognized that his army had come to meet. He stopped the horse and smiled at some of the officer-level prisoners behind him: "The front is our people... everybody, now we are really going home."

At this time, among the queues, the most seriously injured general, barely came to the front of Du Wei, the man was on the right, but he leaned down deeply. Du Wei performed a most respectful etiquette.

"Adult." This general was pale because of the injury. At this moment, it has already risen red: "You go to the enemy camp and rescue us... This kind of grace. I will never forget it forever! As long as I live a day, I will die for each of your orders!"

He opened his mouth for the first time. Later, many of the officers in the back came to the front of Du Wei's ground. They walked on the ground, kneeling on the ground, bowing to Du Wei, and the land was turning to the next. Although the people behind me didn't say anything more, everyone's expressions and eyes have already explained some.

Du Wei understands that these people, in the future, their hearts have vowed to play for their own death.

As long as the three thousand people returned to the army, re-incorporated into the army, broke up and separated, according to the performance of their battles, they took care of themselves and made some promotions. Many people would become officers, and then... these hundreds of thousands The army will firmly erect its prestige...

And the royal family in the imperial capital, the wise regent, he may not think of, to get himself to the front line, thrown into the army of hundreds of thousands of strangers, such a plan is brilliant.

But... but under this special situation, everything has changed dramatically!

However, whether it is Du Wei's face expression or his heart, there is no trace of joy at the moment...

When he saw Alor and Gabriel, Du Wei did not say anything, his face was very serious. Gabri and Yallore, who had complained about their stomachs, closed their mouths involuntarily and put away the original complaints.

The queue of prisoners of war and cavalry quickly merged together and the soldiers began to cheer.

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

Alor and Gabri were a little surprised, and Gabri said: "You... have you saved all the prisoners of war?"

"Not all." Du Wei said here, his mouth screamed: "Not all."

Rohat, the young man, remained in the snow before he left.

Snow fell very generously to these thousands of prisoners of war. And Rohat is alone, but it is firmly left behind. Even if Du Wei opened his mouth and asked for it, Snow fell firmly to Du Wei.
