Chapter 172 Hero's Tears
Chapter 172: The Hero's Tears
Simon did not disappoint everyone's expectations. At the age of 20, he entered the martial arts hall and became the youngest martial saint in the Caesar Empire. In the same year, he received the first-level graduation badge of the Imperial Command Academy and independently commanded a squad of soldiers.
From this moment on, Simon embarked on the most glorious period of his life. In the first five years of the Ten Years' War, Simon rose to the position of commander of the legion and became a member of the imperial nobles with his unparalleled military achievements.
With his ability and identity improvement, Simon began to come into contact with secrets that ordinary civilians could not reach, began to question the war, and embarked on the road to pursuing the way of heaven.
The document has a very detailed account of the battles that Simon experienced. This is an epic of man. Even Feleg, who participated in the war, still watched them with great enthusiasm. Compared with Simon, Feleg's past battles were not worth mentioning at all.
The mainland war lasted for ten years. Simon was forty years old. Since he was twenty, Simon had never stopped fighting, but he miraculously improved his class and became the youngest martial god in history in the Eastern Continent.
The first question was raised in the document, why could Simon become a martial god at the age of forty?
There is no doubt about the talent of martial arts, but since he was twenty years old, Simon rarely had time to practice in his personal life, and he had been leading his army to fight.
Even if you return to China for rest, it will not take long. The imperial troops usually take rest for up to one year.
When the mainland war reached its most critical moment, nearly 8 million troops from the east and west continents competed for the most important fortress in the East Continent ten kilometers outside the war gate in the East Continent, known in history as the Battle of the Round Fort.
In this battle, Simon commanded six legions and relied on the terrain to siege two million troops on the Western Continent. He killed 400,000 enemies and trapped 1.6 million enemies, but lost only 60,000 people himself, creating a military miracle again.
Simon's six hundred thousand army fought alone in two million troops on the Western Continent and achieved an unprecedented victory. One.6 million trapped enemy troops were short of food and weapons and were unable to break through. It was only a matter of time before they could be eliminated.
Such a result gave the Eastern Continental Alliance a relative advantage in terms of number of personnel. The Battle of Yuanbao lasted for two months, and the victory ground began to tilt towards the Eastern Continent. The coalition finally freed up its hands and sent reinforcements from four legions to support Simon.
Simon, who had been trapped by the enemy for at least one month, made a choice that surprised everyone and sent negotiators ten times to demand the trapped enemy surrender.
In the long river of history, wars between the east and west continents have been fought dozens of times, but I have never heard of surrender. The enemy commander heard the news while being depressed. He stayed for four hours.
Surrender? What a strange word. In the mainland war, there were also many captured warriors, but most of them were seriously injured on the battlefield.
Unable to continue fighting, or was captured after falling into a coma, and all the troops surrendered? Even the enemy commander found it incredible.
This is a war between different races, a war between two continents, how can it be surrendered? The two continents of the East and West have always believed that they are completely different from each other, although the difference is only in the color of the pupils.
It is also for this reason. The negotiations were carried out ten times, but there was no substantial progress. They were trapped in the enemy, from the commander to the soldiers at the bottom, were all in a daze. Surrender or fight to the death?
One million and six hundred thousand people are trapped in a small space, with combat areas on both sides. At most tens of thousands of troops are invested at a time. And in these two places where you can escape.
After one month of construction, Simon has formed several tight blockade lines. It is very difficult to attack strongly. Moreover, the soldiers of the Western Continental Army have already begun to go hungry and have already killed half of the war horses. How can this battle be fought?
Surrender must be a slave. There are many examples of this. They don’t know what the life of slaves is like. They listen to rumors, but life is worse than death.
The 400,000 troops in the support area completely cut off the plan to break through and finally made the decision to surrender. Being a slave is better than death. If you don’t become a slave, you will die immediately. Such a decision is actually not difficult to make, but there is no precedent before, which makes them hesitate.
Simon's decision also caused a sensation in the Eastern Continental General Command. It is not surprising that prisoners were captured. One million and six million people were captured at one time, and it became a new thing.
The marshals and generals in the command center were quickly divided into two camps. On the one hand, they believed that this one million and six hundred thousand were the elite part of the Western Continent and should be killed to prevent future troubles.
Another part believes that one million and six hundred million strong slaves are a huge fortune and must not be killed.
Since the command was unable to make a decision in a short time, rumors spread in the trapped western continental army, and the determination to surrender was shaken again.
In fact, even if the trapped Western Continental Army resisted, its strength was insufficient. In the next month, all the war horses were killed. Simon still needed to send some food every day to make the millions and millions open their mouths, eat half hungry and half full, and their morale was even more depressed.
At this time, Simon made another amazing decision, and he sent negotiators to make a promise to the trapped Western Continental Army that as long as they were willing to put down their weapons and would not join the Western Continental Army in the future, Simon decided to let them return to the Western Continent, rather than be slaves.
It can be imagined that this decision without the command center caused even greater contributors. First, the commander sent someone to transfer him back, and several marshals from the Caesar Empire advised him with great sincerity, but Simon was unmoved.
He believed that in the mainland war, these soldiers were innocent, and even if they had been defeated, they should not lose the most basic power of being human beings. They have the right to return to their hometowns and live a free life.
Although Simon was Caesar's most outstanding general, he could not control the decision of the command center. All the six million Western Continental Army were killed, and no one except the three commanders of this army were spared.
The three Western Continental officers who were lifted to the command center looked at Simon with a crazy wolf-like look, burst out with amazing power, broke out from the Shiwei's hand, ran to Simon in front, spitting thick phlegm on Simon's face, calling him a liar.
Simon did not say a word, with thick phlegm on his face, came to the canyon where one million and six hundred thousand people were killed, and shed tears at the boundless corpse. This was the tears of the heroes in the mouths of later generations.
After this battle, Simon retired from the army.
He continued to help the captured soldiers of the Western Continent, spend a lot of gold coins to buy these slaves from others, eat and drink, heal their injuries, and find ways to send them back to the Western Continent.
But the war is still going on, and it is very difficult to get these people back to the Western Continent, and this is not allowed by the Eastern Continent. It is no problem to buy slaves, and letting them go is a betrayal of the Eastern Continent.
No one in the East Continent could understand him, and he could not be recognized by the people in the West Continent. Tens of thousands of years of hostility made these slaves unable to believe Simon.
Simon spent all his money and bought 13,000 prisoners from the Western Continent, but he could not get any support from anyone, including his family. He could no longer get a gold coin from his home. He could not supply the food for more than 10,000 people alone.
In order to save Simon, the lost martial arts genius Simon, the Eastern Continent made a cruel decision to kill these 3,000 prisoners and replenish Simon's huge sum of money.
Although Simon was a strong man and a heroic commander who once dominated the world, he could not stop all this. Amid the curses of 13,000 people, he laughed wildly and pushed the gold coins into the lake and left.
Ten years later, someone saw Simon on the map. It is said that he held a broad sword in his hand and whistled to the sky: "God, I'm here, I want to ask you, what did I do wrong.
"After saying that, he jumped to the opposite side of the cliff and disappeared into a small wood on the opposite cliff. No one saw him again.
It is said that the broad sword in his hand flashed with colorful light, which was the power of the attendant god. Of course, this is just a legend, so there is almost no information in this part, just a legend.
Even the map is just a legend, and it is hard to say whether it is true. Over the past two thousand years, countless historians have verified that the possibility of this matter is relatively high. As for proof, there are many, and Ferlig is not concerned about it.
The hero's mission of tears is mainly to explore what happened in the last ten years of Simon. No matter who it is, it is impossible to go from a martial god to a servant god in ten years. This is even more incredible than his promotion from a martial god to a martial god, although this is just a legend.
The entry point of exploration is where the map is located. Why did Simon jump over the cliff and say that he was going to see God? How did he meet God? What exactly is there on the other side of the cliff?
According to legend, this cliff is about two hundred meters wide, and the cliff opposite is steep and unattainable, so no one can get there.
Since there are too many stories in the secret of heroes' tears, the mission is not to have to find the reason, and that is impossible.
As long as Filig finds the cliff and can reach the opposite cliff and checks the small woods on the opposite cliff, he will be considered as completing the task.
However, so far, no one can find the seventy-two magicians who took this mission, even the location of the cliff, so the task of hero's tears is also called an impossible task.
After reading all the information, Filigo sighed. Simon, a sad hero, Filigo could not judge whether he had done anything, whether he was right or wrong, and did not believe that he finally became the God of Internal Affairs.
It seems that this mission is really not easy to complete. Things from two thousand years ago are all legends.
Just relying on one cliff map, God knows where it is, it is very difficult to find a place. The eastern continent is extremely vast, and some of them are impossible to reach Ferleg and Maya. How to complete this task?
