Chapter 1 War

()

There are struggles where there are people. War is the eternal theme of mankind.

In the southeast of Canglan Continent, the wolf smoke in the sky had quietly dissipated. Tens of thousands of corpses were lying on the dead battlefield, and thick black clouds were densely covered with the sky. The sun had long since fallen under the western mountain.

The night is very quiet. The occasional howl of wolves sounded in the quiet space made the silent battlefield even more gloomy. Here... there is obviously no existence of any creature.

No one comes to clean the battlefield, and no one cares about these lost lives. For so many years, war has become too ordinary for the people living in Canglan Continent. The fragility of life is so common for the people in war.

For those who survived this war, it is better to seize the time to concentrate on resting in order to save their lives in the upcoming fight tomorrow.

"Chirp—" A harsh bird song suddenly came from the southern sky, like the call of a dead soul, cutting through the night sky.

"Chir—chir—chir.”

With the sound of the birds just now, hundreds of birds cries continued to sound in the night sky in the south. The harsh birds cries seemed to shock the hearts, and the sharp chirping kept echoing in the hearts of those who had survived like needles.

"Have you come?" A few miles away from the battlefield, three or five soldiers wearing armor stayed to watch the night sky indifferently, and a man in front of him murmured quietly.

"Yes, it's already here. These disgusting scavengers." The next sentence was the young man with a bandage on his left shoulder behind the soldier. There was still a trace of blood hanging on his firm face. I don't know if it was his own or someone else's. A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the young man who was talking, as if he had a deep disgust towards the birds that were chirping.

The soldier in front of him turned around quietly and said to the people who were following him: "Go back, since these disgusting things have come, then our work has basically been completed tonight. With them, I believe that the people in the Flame City will not be able to cross this battlefield to attack." After that, the soldier in front of him shook his head gently, as if expressing his sympathy to those who had already died in battle. He didn't know whether he could get out of this war alive, or one day or tomorrow, he might be lying on the dead battlefield in front of him for slaughtering?

"Oh? What are these? Are our reinforcements?" The person who spoke was a 16 or 17-year-old boy standing at the end of the few people. His long bright golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his big shiny eyes flashed like the only pair of stars in this endless night, shining with the light of hope.

The war between the Flame City of Canglan Continent and the Xuanhuang Wall has been a long time since the war has been trapped. Most young and middle-aged people have been recruited by the state for decades to join the battlefield. However, the destruction of life by war is extremely rapid. In recent years, the military strength of both sides has been sharply reduced and the national strength is exhausted. However, there is no result for both sides. The front line has always been tug-of-war above the original national border line of both sides. Now both sides have basically reached the point of invincible soldiers, so they have to forcefully recruit some underage boys to join the army.

But for these teenagers, they didn’t understand what the cruelty of war was. When they went to the battlefield, most of them could only be used as cannon fodder.

The young man who spoke did not notice the sadness in his voice when the soldier spoke. When he heard the soldier in front of him say that these things were coming, our work could be basically completed. He naively thought it was the arrival of reinforcements from his own side. For him, who had always been under the care of his mother and family, who came to the battlefield for the first time today, he was completely unaware of the rules of this Canglan Continent.

"Reinforcement? Hahaha..." The soldier in front of him did not answer the boy positively, but laughed hysterically. The rough laughter spread in the quiet night sky, accompanied by the more and more harsh birds singing in the sky.

No one noticed that while the soldier laughed loudly, a tear fell quietly along his strong face that seemed to have experienced vicissitudes.

The handsome blonde boy had no idea what he was saying wrong, and didn't understand why his question made the young man in front of him laugh so loudly. The blonde boy raised his ignorant face that seemed to have never experienced any setbacks and hardships, and looked at the young man in front of him who was still laughing loudly.

"Hahahaha..." The young man was still laughing loudly, completely ignoring the meaning of this handsome blonde boy. The young soldier in front of him raised his hand and gently placed it on his mouth, as if he was afraid that his laughter would alarm others. He quietly slid across the corner of his eyes and touched the tears that had just flowed down the corner of his eyes.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him changed his expression and walked quickly to the handsome boy. He stretched out his right hand covered with knife edges and calluses, placed it on the back of the blonde boy, lifting the handsome boy up as if he was lifting the handsome boy forward. The huge force made the thin boy slide in the air for dozens of meters before touching the ground.

With a "bang!", the handsome boy had a close contact with the ground and then rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before stopping. The metal armor rubbed violently with the protruding stones on the ground, and several sparks flashed faintly.

After a long time, the blonde boy got up again, reached out and wiped the blood from his face that was flowing from unknown places, stood up and wanted to walk back and argue with the rough soldier, asking why all this was.

"Stand there!" Before the blonde boy raised his foot and walked forward, the young soldier in front of him, the rough and hoarse shouting came into the blonde boy's ears. Even though it was dozens of meters away, the blonde boy still felt his ears whimpered by the shouting.

Tears of grievance came out from the corners of the blonde boy's eyes and kept dripping on the ground full of loess.

The blonde boy didn't understand why he was treated like this. He just asked a question. Then he was bullied for no reason, including some other people around him who were even watching jokes from beginning to end.

"Hey, is that okay? He is still a child. He was just recruited from the countryside today." The young soldier with a bandage on his shoulder could not bear it anymore. He walked to the young soldier who was in charge and asked softly. However, there seemed to be no reproach in his voice.
