C4 Forest Chasers (Middle) (2/2)
General Chen flew down from the tree, his mouth roaring majestically, raising his last bit of morale. In his hands was the halberd that had accompanied him for more than twenty years. This halberd had witnessed his brilliant battle achievements, allowing him to go from an ordinary soldier to one of the top ten commanders of the Forbidden Army step by step. If one were to say who General Chen's closest comrade was, it would definitely be this halberd in his hands. Now that he had gone to his death, the only person who could accompany him was the halberd.
”Kill!” The leader of the group also roared.
All the scout s quickly surrounded the General Chen, making it impossible for him to escape.
Just at that moment, before the could wave his sword, he moved the halberd in his hands and thrusted it forward. Behind him were a few scout s. At this time, they also brandished their blades and slashed towards General Chen.
General Chen finished his stab with his halberd, and immediately turned around with a sweep of his halberd. Fortunately, his speed was fast enough, he turned around and just happened to block the huge blade. He then pushed hard, and the few scout s that were coming at him were pushed to the ground.
The other scout s reacted quickly and slashed towards General Chen's body. General Chen knew that if he did not make good use of the opportunity and was unable to kill the people in front of him who were pushed down, he would be hacked to death by the enemies behind him. That was why he immediately squatted down and waved the halberd, then turned around, hoping to beat the enemies behind him to the ground. Only then would he have the chance to kill one or two scout s.
If it was in normal times, General Chen would definitely knock everyone who was surrounding him down to the ground. But now, after the halberd had defeated a few people, it could not move at all. The blades that were slashed by the fallen scout did not hit General Chen's body, but the enemies that had not been slashed down yet all slashed onto his back. Even though he was physically strong and muscular, he was still hacked into meat.
The others didn't give General Chen any chance to catch his breath. Although a few of the scout s had died, they knew that if they did not quickly kill the person in front of them, their fate would be the same. Thus, there was no time for them to reminisce about their dead comrades.
The few scout s that were pushed to the side by the General Chen before had already quickly gotten up from the ground and brandished their large blades again, chopping towards the General Chen. The leader knew that he could not fight them head on, so he gestured to the few people behind General Chen to attack him. They attacked together from top to bottom, how could the General Chen withstand them?
Suddenly, a scout took the opportunity when the General Chen was not paying attention to squat down and slashed at his opponent's calf. However, General Chen acted as if nothing had happened and blocked the blade in front of him without caring about anything else. Finally, under his hard work, the General Chen killed a few more scout s. But at this moment, the wounds on his back and calves were already bleeding profusely.
After a messy battle, the leader shouted, ”Put your saber away and retreat.” The reason he was like this was because he wanted to adjust his strategy against the enemy. He wanted to let his opponent feel the wounds on his body and prevent them from turning red from killing him without feeling anything.
All of the scout hurriedly withdrew their blades and retreated. They did not let the halberd that General Chen had swung at them in the end get hurt in the slightest. This was also why they, these trained scout, if it were any other ordinary soldier, retracting their blade would mean death.
General Chen was already so tired that he was completely unconscious. It was his desire to live and his responsibility to buy time for General Guo and the others that had caused him to bitterly endure till now.
”Hahaha …” ”Come, come …”
Seeing that the crowd was no longer attacking, General Chen's heart was suddenly filled with pride. It had been many years since he fought with such ease. Although he was severely injured and bleeding profusely this time around, the arrogant fighting spirit in his heart was still burning fiercely.
All of the scout s were startled by General Chen's roar and felt their bodies drop to the ground in admiration of the person who was about to die. Even if they were to die, they would still possess such a ferocious fighting spirit. If they had served General He before, they would not have such heroic spirit. In their minds, the number of generals who died in battle was at least eighty, but none of them were as tragic as this one.
But the scout knew that in this current situation, it was either you or me dying. No matter how admirable the general in front of them was, they could not use their lives in compensation. Therefore, their eyes were still filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
General Chen shouted loudly, but his mouth still had a proud smile. He could feel the pain coming from his body, but he didn't care about the blood that was gushing out from his body.
The leader didn't continue to issue orders to attack and instead looked at the person in front of him with reverence. At the beginning of his enlistment, he had also thought of such a tragic death on the battlefield. It was the glory of being a soldier, the supreme end of a soldier. Looking at the General Chen, he seemed to see his future self.
All the scout s understood their leader's intentions, and they all put down their blades. They weren't afraid of the dying man making a move, because the blood that was covering his body was telling them that he was about to lose his life.
”Hahaha...” The armor had formed into a half-life, and the yellow sand covered the body as if it were home. Loyal and sincere like a blade, full of passion and blood soaked in battle robes. ”Hahaha …”
General Chen laughed out loud with his last bit of strength. He did not regret joining the army at such a young age, he did not regret being loyal to an empire that looked strong on the surface even though it was devoid of humanity. He even more so did not regret dying fighting on the battlefield for a crown prince that did not care about his life and death. This death would help him to be loyal, to achieve the highest honor he had ever achieved since he had joined the army.
After laughing for a while, General Chen's raised head drooped down and his breathing stopped forever. However, even in death, the corners of his mouth still held his proud smile, and even in death, he still maintained his mighty and majestic demeanor.
All of the scout remained quiet, as though they were not fighting at all. However, the moonlight was still blood-red, and the temperature of the jungle was still as cold as before.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but his majestic body still did not collapse. The leader's eyes became moist, but he still said softly, ”Brothers, although this person is an enemy general, his loyalty and righteousness really make us feel grateful. We should bury him here. This is his battlefield. It was as if the world was at peace every day. Every time he came to the bright and clear world, the brothers that were willing would still come to the depths of the forest and pay homage to his tomb. It was not in vain for this loyal and unyielding soul to come to this world. It's just that I don't know how to erect this monolith for him. ”
All of the scout s did not say a word, and each and every one of them remained silent.
