Chapter 1293 Blood of the Snowy Night
Inside the Papal States.
Large numbers of soldiers squatted in deep trenches, huddled together to keep each other warm.
Looking at the sky covered with snow above their heads, the soldiers were a little confused.
A young soldier is checking his weapon.
"Simmons, what are you doing?"
An old soldier crawled over and patted Simmons on the shoulder.
Simmons said in a daze.
"I'm checking my weapons and equipment. I'm afraid the Wehrmacht will attack..."
The old soldier shook his head after hearing this.
“You kid…you should be studying at your age.
The war dragged you into it, and the people above you included you in the elite troops.
How can a child like you be considered an elite?"
After the veteran finished speaking, he couldn't help but swear.
Simmons lowered his head, then silently took out the pocket watch from his arms.
On the pocket watch is a happy family photo. Simmons is only 17 years old this year and is an outstanding student in the Papal States.
But Holdress was anxious to expand the army, and the elite troops needed talent.
So Simmons, who was only 17 years old, was successfully recruited.
Initially, Simmons was hyped by Holdress.
The great Emperor Holdris will lead them to victory, and they will make Da Yan pay the price!
They will take back everything that belongs to them!
But things went against their wishes, and Simmons gradually realized their mistakes.
This war is completely meaningless and the people are the ones who pay the final price.
And with just these few words, Holdress caused millions of casualties.
People believed in Holdress because he could lead them to revival.
Holdress led them into the gutter.
Simmons suffered from bullying in the military.
Because of his high academic qualifications, he can be said to be a popular person in the company.
The company commander thinks highly of Simmons, but others do not think so.
They are somewhat jealous of Simmons' excellence.
Why is Simmons, who is so young and has just joined the army, favored by the company commander?
At the beginning, Simmons was bullied by veterans.
It was not until half a month ago that Simmons' team was severely damaged after the Wehrmacht launched an attack.
The squad leader died, Simmons took over the command and led the squad to block the attack of the Wehrmacht.
This won the respect of all officers and soldiers.
Simmons' status gradually rose and he was promoted to squad leader.
Although those veterans did not become squad leaders, they no longer dared to use their qualifications to suppress Simmons.
Inside the trench air-raid shelter.
Seeing Simmons staring at the photo, the veterans wanted to speak to comfort Simmons, but they found that they had not been home for a long time.
Ever since they became soldiers of the Papal States, home has remained forever in their memories.
It’s not that they don’t want to go home, but their superiors won’t let them go.
In fact, it is not the fault of the superiors. The real blame should be placed on the people at the top. They think that these soldiers must stay on the front line and stop the Wehrmacht.
They never really cared about the thoughts of their subordinates. After all, in their eyes, aren't these people just cattle and horses? Do cattle and horses need to have personal thoughts and wishes?
The soldiers couldn't go home, and the officers couldn't go home either.
But those in high positions can squander their lives at will.
With the great defeat on the front line, these senior officials fled one after another, leaving only a few truly loyal ministers.
The aristocratic government reorganized, then sent some generals to reinforce and take control of the army again.
But faced with the blizzard, the Papal Army had no way to deal with it.
The generals were not in a hurry to order their men to launch an attack, but were more concerned about the specific situation on the front line. They were also afraid that the soldiers would mutiny due to the severe cold.
These generals were not stupid enough to put out the fire themselves, and they shared the hardships with the soldiers on the front line.
This is called eating without suffering!
As generals, they are naturally more important than ordinary soldiers, as long as the general is still alive and conscious.
Then, they can command thousands of troops, but the reason why a soldier is just a soldier is because of his limitations.
Simmons felt the veteran's gaze, then looked back and silently put away his pocket watch.
I am just a microcosm, and there are countless soldiers like me who are looking forward to returning home.
Just as Simmons and the soldiers were waiting for the blizzard to end, there was a sudden movement in the position behind them.
The magicians who were delivering supplies in the blizzard suddenly noticed movement behind them, because they listened to the sound of the wind along the way, but just now he heard an unusual sound in the wind.
He seemed to hear a suppressed roar?
The magician turned around hurriedly, and the magicians around him were a little surprised.
"What's wrong? What are you doing? Why are you so jumpy?"
The magician looked around and found that nothing was wrong. He was about to explain to his companions when he suddenly saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
"There are monsters!"
The magician roared, then pushed his companions away. A monster covered in black air rushed out from the snow pile nearby.
There was still a lot of snow on the monster's body.
The magicians recognized at a glance that these monsters were monsters from the north.
But how did the monsters from the north get here?
The magicians were filled with fear. The monster climbed out of the snow again and then attacked the magicians directly.
The magicians immediately used magic to defend themselves, but they were only low-level magicians of level 2 or 3.
How could they possibly defeat the monsters? The monsters tore the magicians apart wantonly, and the magicians who had been working so hard to deliver supplies to the frontline were soon killed on the spot.
The officers who were waiting for supplies at the front line suddenly realized something was wrong because today's supplies had not been delivered yet!
The officer, realizing something was wrong, was about to gather the soldiers when he suddenly saw countless pairs of scarlet eyes staring at him.
The officer was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe and just stared directly at the monster.
After a two-second stalemate, the monsters launched a direct charge.
Without any hesitation, the officer drew his pistol and fired a warning shot.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three consecutive shots woke up the entire position.
The officer was also completely torn to pieces by the monster.
Simmons, who was homesick, heard the gunshots and immediately picked up his weapons.
He thought it was the Wehrmacht from the south that was attacking, but he soon realized something was wrong because the Wehrmacht would definitely use artillery before attacking.
What the hell is it?
Simmons was just about to lead his soldiers into the designated combat position in the trench when he heard screams coming from outside.
"There's a monster! Help! Save me!"
(Good afternoon??(?≧□≦?)??)
