Chapter 326: I want to fight for mankind
Reiter was right. The linen hanging on the wooden frame is indeed a painting, and each painting is extremely lifelike, and the characters inside are all lifelike.
After approaching the center of the square, he only glanced at one of the canvases, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of enthusiasm in his heart.
Because the scene depicted on this canvas is really war.
To be precise, it was a war between humans and black orcs.
A fortress stands in the snow and ice. The fortress is full of fully armed human warriors. Below the fortress are densely packed black orcs. They all hold their weapons high and roar loudly, looking fierce and evil.
Countless crossbow arrows were flying in the air, and some crossbow arrows fell on the head of the city. Many warriors were filled with crossbow arrows. The boulders thrown by the catapult crossed the sky, smashing a large number of gaps and cracks on the city wall.
Obviously, this is an extremely fierce battle against the fortress.
Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the human side is at a disadvantage, and it seems that it will not last long, especially the broken city wall, which gives people a feeling of crumbling.
A line of text written at the bottom of the screen also fully illustrates this point.
"The 730 year of the moon and stars, the battle of the Andes."
Reiter chanted this passage again, and suddenly remembered a story he had heard before.
The Bell Kingdom and the White Wolf Kingdom in the north of the Glory Continent, it was precisely because they lost the most critical battle of the Andes, which led to the complete collapse of the Andean line of defense, and was finally driven by the commander of the Black Orcs, and the two kingdoms were completely destroyed.
Could it be that the content of this canvas is the scene of the Battle of the Andes?
At this time Reiter suddenly had a guess in his heart. Could it be that these paintings are all about a war between humans and orcs?
When walking to the front of the next cloth painting, Reiter first looked at the text at the bottom of the screen.
"The month-star calendar is 732 years, the battle of the White Bear Fort."
He gasped. Isn't White Bear Fort the capital of Bell Kingdom?
His guess is correct.
On the second canvas, Reiter saw an extremely magnificent city at first sight, but the walls looked very broken, one of the city gates had collapsed, and countless horror beast cavalry were rushing straight into the city. , There are corpses all over the city walls, most of which are humans.
There is no doubt that this is the picture of the complete fall of White Bear Fort, and it is also the last battle before the demise of the Bell Kingdom.
Seeing this, Reiter's mood became heavy.
The text description of the third canvas is "The Battle of Spangled City in 736 Years of the Moon Star Calendar".
Langfang City is the capital of the White Wolf Kingdom, and the White Wolf Kingdom is the second human kingdom destroyed by the army of black orcs.
The picture on the canvas is particularly tragic. One of the walls of Langya City has collapsed, and there are mountains of corpses piled up in the gaps in the walls.
Obviously, in the final moments of this battle, the White Wolf Kingdom's army made arduous efforts and made extremely heavy sacrifices in order to plug the gap, but what is embarrassing is that they ultimately failed.
Reiter stood dumbly under the cloth painting for a while, until he got a sore sensation in his eyes, then he went to the next cloth painting.
The next three canvases describe the wars that have occurred in recent years.
The fourth picture was the Battle of the Extremis Mountain Range last year. In this battle, the black hybrids that had annexed the northern part of the mainland became stronger and stronger, and the four human kingdoms in the south had to join forces against the army of black orcs.
The fifth is the Battle of Danteburgh. This is a war that took place in the capital of the Mushan Kingdom. Although the battlefield is far away from the Immortal Mountains, its failure led to the breakthrough of the defense line by the black orc army and the complete collapse of the four-nation coalition of mankind.
The sixth picture is the battle of Broken Star City, which directly marks the curtain call of the Fox Kingdom.
These six huge linens depict the six most critical wars with six pictures, and tell the whole process of the successive demise of the four human kingdoms.
In fact, Reiter knows that in the decades of wars, there have been more than these 6 wars. There are more than 600 wars, large and small, and the casualties of human soldiers and civilians far exceed those of all. Imagine.
Any commoner who has finished watching the canvas can not help feeling relentlessly, even if it is a person who knows nothing about the situation in the mainland, after watching the canvas, he can't help but feel great anxiety in his heart.
Human beings were unable to withstand the army of black orcs in their heyday. Now the six human kingdoms in the Glory Continent have gone to the fourth, how long can the remaining two human kingdoms last?
People like Leitel who have trespassed outside and have a certain degree of insight have a deeper understanding. They deeply know how powerful the black orcs are and how bad the situation in the human world is. They are described as "the worries of the dead race". Not an exaggeration at all.
Reiter couldn't help sighing, and turned his head to look into the distance, where the lord's mansion was located.
He secretly murmured: I hope that the benevolent lord can save mankind and save this troubled race.
Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd. Two civil servants squeezed into the crowd, climbed onto a wooden frame, and hung up a new pair of linen.
The long linen cloth had just been unfolded, and there was an uproar among the crowd.
I saw a huge fist drawn on the canvas, with a large line written above the fist-"Join us and contribute to the survival of mankind"!
On the right side of the fist is written densely packed general text, which is the recruitment order signed by Renault.
Reiter only glanced, and his breathing immediately became hurried. After hesitating for a moment, his expression became firm.
I want to join the island guard team!
I want to fight for mankind!
However, before signing up, he still needs to discuss with Savana.
Leitel clasped the paper bag with black bread in his hands, squeezed out the crowd, and strode home.
In a public rental house, Leitel looked at a girl sitting in a chair in front of him with a tender look, and said:
"Savana, that's what I saw on the recruitment order..."
Then he lowered his head, and his voice became low:
"In the future battle, even if I am unfortunately sacrificed, you can still receive a large pension from the Government Affairs Office, which is enough for your usual expenses."
"And I also heard that the Department of Civil Affairs has a lot of preferential treatment for the family members of the island guards, and those civil servants will definitely take care of you..."
Savana suddenly stretched out her hands, covered her face, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Can't you stay? Can't let others go?"
Reiter didn't answer, he slowly squatted down, held Savana's hand, buried his head on her thigh, and the living room was quiet for a while.
After a long time, Leitel raised his head, looked deeply at Savana's thin face, and said softly:
"When we fled the mainland before, Polis died, Cedric died, Connery died, and Thomas died, too many people died, the whole Banksy mercenary There are only two of us left in the group."
He glanced down at Savana's empty right trouser leg, and his voice became unusually firm:
"Savana, you also lost a right leg. I don't want you to lose another leg when the Black Orc kills the Tide Islands..."
"I once swore that no one can hurt you again before I fall..."
Savana finally cried bitterly.
