Chapter 499 Remembrance of the past: Sword, why is it so red 3

"I don't believe it, I don't believe that such a thing would happen..."

Agat looked around and said that his troops were being ruthlessly annihilated. Such emotions were the same as his own troops, which had besieged and annihilated the retreated Ishubars before, but now the positions of the two sides have turned around.

Failure, pain, despair, these words that he had nothing to do with Agat, now all came to his mind, and Agat fell into a semi-coma.

Agathe: (What's wrong with this? Am I obviously not on the battlefield? Why? Why is it so quiet around? Do you mean that I'm dead... No! I don't want it! I can still... I... Oh, it's really ironic. It turns out that I'm so afraid of death... I'm sorry, sister, am I too useless? Obviously, you tried your best to dissuade me from becoming a soldier to go to the battlefield, but I finally deceived you in anger, and brother-in-law Klos... It's really quiet, death, so What an empty thing... After all, will anyone remember me...)

"Captain Agat! Captain Agat! Wake up quickly!"

In a vagueness, Agathe heard someone calling his name.

Agathe: (Who is it? Who on earth is calling my name? Which fool would take the risk to care about people like me?)

Agat's consciousness slowly recovered in this eager call, and the things in front of him gradually became clear, and he saw a familiar face.

Frey: "That's great. Just wake up."

Agart's cheek was dripped by some kind of warm **. Agat is very familiar with this color of **, which is blood, red blood, and it keeps dripping from Frey's forehead to Agart.

Agat: "Frey Deputy Captain, what's wrong with you? You are injured."

Frey couldn't answer his injury question and said eagerly, "Can you still act by yourself? Hurry up, now the alien nation is going to be killed back.

Agat's mind was still not fully clear, and his limbs were difficult to use. He reluctantly stood up and looked around. It was still a battlefield in a fierce battle. However, when Agat was half unconscious just now, it seemed that reinforcements came, but the number seemed to be very small.

Agat: "It turns out that Vice Captain Frey came to rescue us."

Frey: "Don't worry about this. My troops just led the cavalry away, but now they have been found to have the intention. Anyway, you can retreat quickly now."

It turned out that Frey sent some cavalry to attract the attention of the Sak cavalry in order to protect Agat's squadron, and he commanded the soldiers of Agat's squadron to retreat in an orderly manner. Now, with the help of Dodfre, many soldiers in Agathe have been able to retreat safely.

Agat: "What about you, Vice Captain Frey?"

Frey: "There are still many soldiers here who have not retreated in time, and I will continue to command them."

Agat: "No, it's too late now." Agart's bully temper also came up, and he didn't say anything and left first.

Frey: "Don't be silly, I order you now to retreat quickly."

Agathe: "No, you are the important person, Deputy Captain Frey."

Frey slapped Agart again.

Agat: "This is..."

Frey: "As a soldier, you should obey orders and don't let me say it for the third time."

Agat: "But..."

It's really too late. The Sack cavalry came back too fast, and now the charge is back.

Frey ordered his men to attack: "Stop the other side and protect the soldiers to retreat!"

Frey also rushed up. As a result, it can be imagined that any resistance to the Sarko cavalry was only futile, but he won valuable retreat time, but Frey paid his biggest price.

Agathe did not retreat, because he now has no previous fear. He dragged his injured body and ran to Frey desperately.

Agat: "Deputy captain Frey, why did you do this?"

Frey: "...Agat, why don't you... Forget it, you have to understand that protection is the first job of a soldier. I feel very happy that I can now protect the hope of the kingdom's future..."

At this time, the Isaac cavalry of the Ishibars surrounded, and Agat really had no hope of escape.

Agathe did not resist, helping Frey, who was the last flame of his life, quietly accept all this. Perhaps he thought that Agathe was compensating for the murder he had committed before.

"I really hope... soldiers... are no longer tools for killing..."

Frey left and left the world with a smile with a good prayer for the future. And the strong Agat also burst into tears in his eyes for the first time.

In this situation, the Ishubars began to take the initiative to leave.

"What? Unexpectedly..." Agat survived, but this surprised him.

The Ishubar people withdrew and looked at the distant figure. Only then did Agat realize the truth: "It turns out that the alien peoples are also fighting to protect..."

......

After that, Agat safely returned to the storm fortress and spent half a month recuperating in the military hospital. During this period, the kingdom and the Ishubars finally reached an armistice agreement, taking the storm fortress as the boundary, and stopping any hostilities between the two sides.

In 176, the war was finally over.

......

After more than a year of calm, the kingdom finally began to withdraw its troops to the kingdom one after another, and Agat was just among them.

At the beginning of returning to the capital of Athos, Agart did not go back to meet his sister at the first time, but wanted to visit a place he had always wanted to go.

The sound of knocking on the door.

"Here we are, please wait a moment." It was a woman who opened the door.

Woman: "Oh, excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Agat: "Hello, it's my first time to meet you. My name is Agat, and I'm the squadron leader of the second detachment of the Green Dragon Knights."

Woman: "Oh, it turned out to be my husband's comrades-in-arms. Welcome, please come in and sit down."

This is Frey's home, and the woman is Frey's wife.

Frey's wife: "Look at me, I haven't prepared tea for a while, so I can't treat this gentleman well."

Agat: "No, in fact, I took the liberty to disturb you. In fact, I came here today to apologize to your wife.

Frey's wife: "Apologize?"

Agat: "Actually, your husband is because of me..."

Frey's wife smiled slightly: "Then he must have left with a smile, right?"

"Ah!" Agathe suddenly stopped.

Frey's wife: "He is such a person, which is what he wants to do most."

Frey's wife was very strong, which eased Agat's remorse.

"Ah! Drink!"

In the yard, there seems to be a shout of children coming in.

Agathe: "Is this Mr. Frey's son?"

Frey's wife: "Yes, his name is Gray. He is only 5 years old this year. Although Frey left him and went to the front line when he was born, he has been following the example of his father since he was sensible. Every day, he listens to me talk about his father's character and wants to learn from his father in every word and deeds. Now, He is practicing shooting in the yard.

It seems that there is another person who wants to apologize. Agart got up and walked into the yard and saw a boy practicing gun skills. He was young and was not inferior to Agat at the same age. He was a very serious and hard-working child.

"Oh, uncle, are you a guest?" Little Gray noticed the arrival of Agart.

Now that he mentions his father's death again in front of a child of this age, and Agathe can't do it.

Agat: "Yes, your name is Gray, isn't it? It's really a good name."

"Uncle, it seems that you are a soldier." Little Gray was keenly aware of Agat's military popularity.

Agat: "Do you want to be a soldier in the future?"

Little Gray: "Yes, I aspire to be a good soldier like my father."

Agat touched Little Gray's head: "Well... Well, you have to remember that soldiers obey orders, but remember that soldiers fight to protect them."

Little Gray: "Well, I understand, this is what my mother told me. My father's past is to fight for protection."

Looking at the truth that such a child in front of him can understand, Agat is really ashamed to recall his past. His past entered the battlefield entirely out of selfishness. What he did was also simple killing, no pity for the enemy at all, and no battle. The conscious man also trampled on life ruthlessly. Agat saw his hands and had been stained with red blood that could not be washed off.

Finally, Agart said goodbye to Frey's wife and little Gray and returned to the barracks. In this way, he changed his attitude and seriously became a good soldier. At that time, the fascist emperor died because of his serious injury and could not be cured. The successor Emperor Zilub was a good emperor with a fraternal and wise heart, and spent five years in peace, which was also a very happy time for Agath.

It's just that a drastic change five years later changed all this. Emperor Kirub was assassinated during the pilgrimage to Saint Alma. The murderer was the Ishubal, so the two ethnic groups were once again full of gunpowder.

The successor Emperor Hiloken has the true inheritance of his father's fascism. He likes to pursue power and has great ambitions. He did not immediately turn against the Ishbarians, but pointed the finger at the people. In the "snake-eating disaster" food incident, Emperor Hiloken's power position was consolidated, which cost a lot of wealth to form an army and built the strongest combat power in history. Finally, Emperor Hiroken put his goal on the Ishbals.

"The dispute in the Som River Basin" seems to be a dispute between the two sides in a very small area, but the kingdom mercilessly suppressed the Isibarians living there. This is actually a war created by the kingdom to rob the top war horse of the Isibarians - the Sakswar horse, which is more It was the Blue Dragon Knights to suppress it with all their strength. The ruthless war once again appeared in front of Agat.

In 188, in the Som River Basin, an Ishbari settled near a village and town, and Agat led troops to come here. At this time, with his personal efforts, he has now been promoted to deputy commander of the Green Dragon Knights. Of course, he is also a deputy commander, as well as his best friend William.

Agathe is now unwilling to charge to the front line of the battlefield in person. As the commander of the army, together with William, the two are with the legion commander Kulos, commanding this most important battle.

William: "Report to the commander of the legion, now that our army has successfully annihilated all the enemy's resistance forces."

Clos: "Good, order the troops to go to the village for inspection."

Agat: "Wait a minute, why are there still battles in villages and towns?"

William: "It seems that there are still enemies resisting."

Agathe: "Didn't you say that there is no resistance to the enemy?"

William: "That's true. It's a little strange."

Kulus: "Anyway, according to your majesty's order, you must occupy this village and town anyway."

It seems that this place is a large breeding tribe of sack war horses, so Kulos, who knows the inside situation, is so nervous about the war situation in this place. This battle is absolutely not allowed.

"I'll go and have a look!" Agathe rushed forward and planned to know the answer himself, but the answer really shocked him.

The Ishibarians in villages and towns, whether old people, women or children, were all resisting desperately with various weapons. The determination of the Ishibars to resist the invaders to the death reminded Agat of the scene of the "Seven Years' War".

Now, even if the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Knights know that the other side is non-combatants, the other party attacks them with weapons. If they do not fight, they will be repulsed. Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Agathe did not know that it was better to do so at this time.

"Go ahead, keep moving forward!" At this time, Kulos also rushed up and commanded the troops to attack.

Agat: "Wait a minute, the commander of the legion, even if it is a different nation, but the other party is a civilian. Can't we hurt civilians?"

Clos did not answer Agat's question...

William: "It's a pity, Deputy Chief Agart. The other party picked up the sword and it is the enemy. We have tried our best to persuade him to surrender, but..."

Agathe: "However, there will always be a better solution, or we can surround and negotiate."

William shook his head and expressed regret that the Ishubars would not surrender.

Kulos: "Deputy Head of Agat, please calm down. We have done our best. In fact, you know that the other party will not accept any of our negotiations."

Agathe actually understood that if he could really negotiate, there would be no dispute today.

Kuros: "In order to complete the order given by Your Majesty, we must do our best to occupy this village and town. There must be no mistake. Remember, this is an order. We are fighting for Your Majesty."

"What a bastard order!" Agathe cursed.

Kulos: "Deputy commander of Agat, you know that insulting His Majesty the emperor is a great crime, for which you will be dealt with by military law."

Kulos governs the army strictly and is clear between public and private. Even his relatives and valued subordinates will never be selfish.

"If you want to be punished, just punish it. At worst, don't do it. I've seen enough of this bullshit war!" Agat wants to leave.

Kulos: "Deputy Commander Agat, do you know that the commander left for no reason, but it is a great responsibility."

William quickly persuaded Agart: "Deputy commander Agat, please put away what you just said first. Now we still have to obey the order."

Agat said to himself, "Militaries have to obey orders, but remember that soldiers fight to protect them."

William was silent about these words...

Agat stretched out his epee and pulled out his epee and inserted it on the ground: "Well, this epee has been with me for so long. It seems that such a bright red epee is really not suitable for me. Today, it seems that it is time to give up." After saying that, Agat and Zema left decisively.

William looked at the epee strangely: "Agat, this epee, bright red?"

As William said, this epee, with a spotless metallic luster, has not been pulled out for a long time...

......

As a result, after the end of the "Som River Valley Dispute", Agat was demoted to a remote place to be a minor official, and then, he was sent down by the local lord to the small town of Taros to be the head of the guard team. In this way, Agat ended his military career and had no other goals in life except soldiers. He did nothing and got a new title of "coward drunkard" all day long.

Then, ten years later, the "coward drunkard" Agat met Elvin in the pub.

......

Time returned to now. In the face of William's question, Agat answered him loudly: "Do you want to know why I took up arms to fight again? Hahaha, I feel ridiculous. In fact, at the beginning, I didn't think that I would have such a day. If it hadn't been for the Ai Wen who bothered me like a fly all day, I wouldn't have promised him to join on the condition of an agreement.

William: "A promise?"

Agat: "Yes, an agreement, that is, I ask the boy Elvin to beat him well. His mind is full of the glory of the kingdom, the order of the kingdom, the stubborn old man, and let his stubborn head wake up."

"Ah..." William didn't know what to do.

I didn't expect that the agreement between Agathe and Elvin would be such a content, but this is only a less sincere expression of Agart's true inner thoughts. Perhaps, from the day he met with Avan, the flame that had already cooled in his heart had quietly burned.
