Last Totem Novel - Chapter 538
Chapter 538 War
About ninety minutes later, under the fierce attacks of the three sides, the Hirano Guards finally collapsed and retreated back to the stronghold.
Just as Hagrid was about to order the shelling and wait for the commander-in-chief’s ultimatum, a large number of civilians appeared on the city wall. They have men and women, and there are many old people and children among them. Judging from their clothes, they should be miners or merchants in the fortress.
Under the escort of Hirano’s soldiers, they walked up the city wall one after another and lined up on the city wall. Hagrid instantly frowned. It seemed that Hirano did not intend to surrender and would drag the innocent people in.
Tian Shi Ye was different from Sequoia Company. The registered capital was only three million gold coins. The scale was small, and they did not have much background. This stronghold was all they had. Once lost, it would be tantamount to total bankruptcy.
Therefore, they had no way out.
Hagrid didn’t dare to order the shelling under the threat of a mouse attack, but the fortress cannons in Hirano mercilessly tilted the cannons to their positions.
“Surrender, or die.” Without warning from the shelling, Mu Yuqinxin issued an ultimatum.
“We will never surrender!” Dazhi Tokuda replied firmly.
“I’ll give you 30 minutes to think about it.” Mu Yuqin said expressionlessly, “Once the time comes, we will launch an attack.”
“I’ll wait.” Dazhi Tokuda said calmly.
Half an hour later …
There was no movement in the Hirano Stronghold. Hagrid was wondering if he should respond to the shelling request of the Allies. Zhao Wenke, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
“Let’s fight.” There was no emotion or hesitation in his cold voice.
“Yes.” Tie Zha crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at the map on the table, and nodded in agreement.
“I don’t agree.” Hagrid said in a deep voice.
“Isn’t our soldier’s life?” Zhao Wenke turned his head to look into Hagrid’s eyes and asked. Half an hour ago, the artillery fire from the Hirano side had never stopped. At every moment, soldiers from Chifeng side had been killed by the artillery fire.
“My foster father once said that there are no innocent people in the world.” Tie Zha said indifferently. In Old Man Tie’s values, as long as it was for survival, there was no right or wrong. Lena had also told him that Mercy was not in charge of soldiers. Although these civilians were innocent, in war, they were simply incomplete and could only choose between them.
“Our Holy Wolf Guardian is not a butcher!” Hagrid roared as his eyes turned red.
“Wang Hu, Mu Qianhe, prepare to fire.” Tie Zha glanced at him, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order.
“Yes.” “Yes, sir.” Wang Hu and Mu Qianhe’s voices came from the speaker.
“Fierce Tiger Regiment, Vermillion Bird Regiment, I am Hagrid, the highest commander of the Crimson Peak Guards. I order you to cancel the operation.” Hagrid immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and stopped him.
“Hagrid Northess, I am the leader of the Battle Ge Shaman, the Divine Wolf Heavy Armored Guard.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and reminded him in a deep voice.
“I don’t care what you are!” Hagrid glared back fiercely, and with a cracking sound, he shattered the walkie-talkie in his hand.
“You want to fight?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.
“What the hell are you doing!” Zhao Wenke stood up abruptly and harshly reprimanded, “What’s the point of quarreling in the command post during the war?”
“Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock …”
Just as the three of them were having a fierce argument, the sound of intense artillery fire suddenly came from afar. The three of them looked at each other and rushed out of the command armoured vehicle. They saw flames flickering in the Hirano Stronghold.
Just because they hesitated did not mean that their allies were doing the same.
“Tell your woman to stop attacking!” Hagrid shouted at Tie Zha.
The man shrugged his shoulders and ran towards the wolf spider behind him. He rushed up, opened the hatch, and got into the cockpit.
As soon as he activated the system, the sky suddenly sank, as if something had landed on the roof of the cabin. He originally thought it was Hagrid who turned on the visual sensors, but he saw Selma sitting on the roof of the cockpit with her butt facing his head.
“What are you doing?” He shouted to the outside speaker.
“Protect you ~” Selma said casually.
“Go away!” As Tie Zha cursed, he pulled on the rocker. The spider immediately turned left and right, wanting to throw Selma off. However, the latter flew up into the air, and then stopped. With a loud bang, the wolf spider was pressed to the ground.
“What do you want!” Tie Zha shouted angrily.
“Protect you ~” Selma smiled and said, “The Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest has instructed you not to participate in the Stronghold War.”
“What does she mean?” Tie Zha asked irritably.
“Massacring civilians is not a fun thing to do.” Selma leaned on the cockpit and said to the sound collector.
“It’s precisely because of this that I have to go to the front.” Tie Zha said in a deep voice.
“Do you think the army will still be under your control after the street fight starts?” Selma asked.
While the two of them were talking, in the commander’s office of Hirano Stronghold, Daji Tokuda was leaning against a large chair behind his desk, hugging a pretty girl, drinking red wine while whispering in her ear.
Beside the wine bottle with the female sea demon label was a short warrior/saber. In their hometown, the knife is called “mediated error”.
“Youzi, I’m really sorry. I think …” Dazhi Tokuda sighed. “I can’t fulfill our agreement anymore.”
“It doesn’t matter. You’ve done your best.” The girl in her arms said softly.
“It’s all over” Dazhi Tokuda muttered to himself. He absentmindedly picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to give the order to stop resisting. At this moment, the door to the office was kicked open with a “bang”.
Dozens of guards swarmed in, and the leader saw Dazhi Tokuda hugging the girl and immediately pointed at him and cursed loudly.
“Damn it, the brothers are bleeding. This fat pig actually has time to play with women!”
“Get out of here!” Dazhi Tokuda shouted harshly.
“Bastard!” “Everyone has been killed by you!” “If you still don’t surrender, you’re courting death!” The guards cursed in all directions.
“Ah!” Amidst the excitement of the crowd, several guards rushed to the table and pulled the girl away. One of them pulled out a pistol and continuously pulled the trigger at Tokuda Dazhi.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Blood splattered all over the commander’s chest as he fell backwards with his eyes wide open.
“Motherf*cker, you still drink sea demons.” The leader of the guards picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his head and poured it down. Then, he took a deep breath and shouted, “Good!”
“Go to hell!” The guard who opened fire bent down to retrieve his wallet from Tokuda Dazhi and kicked him.
“Frank, use a gold pen.” A guard picked up the “Pikes” pen on the table and pinned it in his pocket on his chest.
At the same time, several guards began to rummage through the office, looking for valuable items.
The girl named Youzi sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at her lover lying in a pool of blood with a frightened expression. Suddenly, a guard circled behind her and suddenly hugged her!
“Ah!” Youzi let out a panicked scream and struggled desperately.
“Haha, brothers, this girl is not bad looking.” The guard kneaded her chest and let out a sinister laugh.
“Looking at her usual arrogance, this daddy will get angry!” “Fuck her!” A few guards immediately surrounded him and said fiercely.
“No … no!” “Rip!” A crisp sound of cotton wool being torn apart completely reduced the guards to beasts.
“Ah … Ah … Uh …” Not long after, the scream turned into a painful groan.
For a time, the commander’s office was in chaos. Some of them were drinking while looking for valuable things and stuffing them into their pockets. Some of them enjoyed the wild joy and let out roars like wild beasts.
Daji Tokuda watched helplessly as his beloved woman was trampled by the rebellious soldiers. His mouth wriggled and a large amount of blood spilled out.
With the loss of the supreme commander, chaos spread from top to bottom. Just as an officer climbed onto the city wall and raised a simple white flag, he was shot dead by an unknown soldier. Looking around, a large number of civilians and soldiers mixed together and fled everywhere. From time to time, miserable screams could be heard.
The city gate opened at an unknown time, and soldiers who wanted to surrender rushed out one after another. But as soon as they appeared, the bullets swept over their heads and faces, and they trampled on each other and retracted.
“Drop your weapons and surrender!” A loud broadcast rang out. Thanks to the efforts of some officers, the stronghold gradually regained its calm.
At this moment, not far from the west gate of the stronghold, three bounty soldiers of the Crimson Peak Guards were slowly advancing with assault rifles in their hands.
The smallest tactical unit of the Crimson Peak Guards was twelve units, with a squad leader leading four vice squadrons and eight members, a total of thirteen people.
Amongst the three, the vice captain was named Ed. He was thirty-six years old this year, and his face was slightly yellow. He was a typical Jack smoker. More than a year ago, he joined the Crimson Peak Guards in response to the call of Hagrid, the raven’s brother.
He was one of the insecticides who settled in Sand Wind Castle. He lived in a residential area on the east side of the city. He had a three-bedroom suite with a six-year-old son and a young wife. He also had an old mother who was over half a century old.
“Third Brother, put on your helmet properly.” He saw that the helmet of the young warrior on the right was tilted to the side, so he warned. In any case, there were only two subordinates, so they usually addressed each other as “Boss”, “Second” and “Third”.
“Oh.” Third Brother replied and moved his helmet.
Third Brother is nineteen years old this year. His insect transformation ability is a “pump-type circuit”, a little fellow that reacts quickly. There were three brothers in the family, two of whom were bug transformers, both bounty warriors.
‘”Boss, I need to find a time to go home. I haven’t exchanged my fangs for money yet. My sister is anxious to buy lipstick. I said that she was just a few years old and wanted to buy that thing. She really lives as a Flowing Warbler …”
The one who spoke was Second Brother. He was 27 years old this year, and he was his old neighbor. He had been a bounty warrior with him for several years. When Hagrid called up, he called out in the hope that his brothers would make money together.
“Don’t say anything. There’s still a war.” Ed said with a straight face.
“At this time, what else is there to be in danger? Look, they have all surrendered.” Second Brother said.
Looking up, there were quite a few Hirano soldiers waving white flags standing on the city walls.
“I hope it goes smoothly. My son is going to take an interest class. When you ask for leave later, help me change the weeping flies as well.” Ed said. His son likes to play with mechanical models, but in fact, it’s useless for an insect to learn mechanics. Big companies don’t want them.
The three of them held their guns and stared ahead. They chatted without saying a word. Soon, they followed the large army and entered the stronghold.
“Look, be honest.” Looking at the quiet crowd in the stronghold, Second Brother said proudly.
“Be careful, there is a saying in the Far East that you should be careful for ten thousand years …”
Before Ed could finish his sentence, a burst of gunfire came from the crowd. Immediately after, several fragmented grenades flew into the soldiers in front of them, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere.
There was no lack of loyal people in Hirano Company. They hid in the surrendering crowd and the driver attacked because they did not receive any orders from Tokuda Daiji.
The soldiers on the attacking side were heavily injured and instinctively retaliated, sweeping the bullets towards the crowd.
“Kill!” “These dogs!” “Kill them!” “Da da da!” “Peng Peng Peng!” “Ahhh!” “Let’s fight them!” “Die!”
In an instant, the front and back of the city gate fell into chaos. Soldiers from both sides were strangled together, and civilians fled everywhere. However, no one could distinguish between civilians and soldiers, so they could only launch indiscriminate attacks.
Howls, curses, cries, gunshots, explosions rose and fell, smoke pervading the crowd, broken limbs flying everywhere, like a purgatory on earth.
