18th century total war

Chapter 337 I'm Not Reconciled!
"Panson, do you know what the happiest thing is after the war?"

Aatrox took off his boots from a corpse wearing the uniform of the Ottoman Sultan's Guards, and without raising his head, he said to Panson, who was bandaging his wounds next to him.

"I think your answer is right in front of you."

"Aha~
As expected of my brother, you can see what I think at a glance.

I have to admit, the Ottoman boots are awesome and the size is about the same size as my feet.

You know how hard it is for me to find a pair of these boots? "

"Well, I can understand that.

After all, my sister is always full of doubts about your big feet.

Otherwise, why do you think I would object to my sister marrying you?
It's not that I object, but that she doesn't want to marry a man with big feet. She thinks that kind of man's foot odor will kill her.

Sorry, I'm not insulting you, I'm stating a fact. "

Aatrox stopped his 'work', stood up, pinched his waist and looked at Pantheon panting heavily.

"Pan Sen, you are still here talking to me now because I pulled you back from hell. Is this how you thank your benefactor?"

"Aatrox, if I let my sister marry you, I think it will be enough to repay you for saving my life."

"Oh God.

Pan Sen, do you know?
This is the smartest choice you will ever make.

Your sister is married to the bravest man in the world, a personal guard who personally killed the rumored cannibal Ottoman Sultan.

Look at the corpse at my feet. They have all been practicing martial arts since childhood. If guns did not dominate the world, we Greeks would never be able to return to Istanbul. "

"Aatrox, look in the mirror before bragging. If you killed him head-on, I would definitely show you your martial arts skills. It's a pity that you stabbed him in the neck from behind.

There are no eyes in the back of the sultan's personal guard, and I think any man can do this step. "

"Pan Sen, this is war!
I just use war to deal with my opponents. After all, this is not an arena. Fighting alone is not popular. Face the opponent head-on. What I bring is not honor, but stupidity and even the price of my life!
At least, it turned out that you survived, this shitty Sultan's personal guard lying at my feet, and contributed a pair of boots that were about the size of my feet.

Thank goodness I love these boots!
Neither blind Aristotle nor the tyrant Livy ever thought of giving us brave Greeks a real military uniform.

I feel like I'm not here as a soldier, but as a slave! "

"No, Aatrox.

We are not here to be slaves, but to be meat targets for the enemy to shoot at.

I will never forget the scene when our captain’s skull was lifted by a bullet. The power of the Ottoman muskets was really amazing. "

"That's right, I can't find any benefits other than the powerful muskets of the Ottomans. If those damned aliens are willing to hand over their excellent muskets to us, we can definitely kill them before the Ottomans open fire." Blast their balls!"

"Haha, maybe we can dream of that scene in our dreams, the tyrant Li Wei's Thirteenth Legion is an army above everything else.

They gave everything to the tyrant Levi, who gave them the power to kill at will.

Anything they think is incorrect is a crime!

God has become the plaything of the tyrant Levi. This is the most ironic joke I have ever seen in my life, bar none! "

Aatrox and Pantheon fell silent at the same time. It was not until Aatrox put on his boots that he had ripped off from the corpse that he spoke in a muffled voice:

"Pan Sen, although we have taken down the outer city wall of Istanbul, you and I both know that our entire company has lost one out of ten.

This is already considered lucky.

Many troops in front did not even have a single survivor.

More Greeks died under the walls of Istanbul than there were defenders of the Ottoman Empire!
At least, the defenders of the Ottoman Empire have a way to retreat, and our retreat is death!

Don't you think that this is the tyrant Livy and blind Aristotle plotting to destroy us Greeks?

Aristotle has sold himself and the entire Greek Republic to the tyrant Livy. In his eyes, he has no compatriots at all, only his high position of power, and he can do anything for his own position.

I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, we were abandoned!
At most, in the new round of offensive launched tomorrow morning, it will be the end of our lives! "

"Aatrox, don't be so pessimistic, you and I survived such a fierce battle, why must we die?

Being unable to retreat does not mean that we must move forward desperately to find a hidden position, and we can fight until the moment the city wall falls.

I have seen many fellow Greeks survive this way. "

"Pan Sen, if the city wall does not fall, we will be searched out by those brutal Ottoman soldiers, and then sieved by a round of bullets!"

Aatrox grabbed Pantheon by the collar, his eyes flashing with extreme fear.

"Aatrox, we have no choice but to hope that the tyrant Levi's troops will continue to win until they take down every wall in Istanbul and enter the central palace.

At that time, you will be able to marry my wayward sister.

This time, I will let her change her unfair perception of your big feet.

My sister has listened to me since she was a child, think more about the future, and you will have the motivation to live. "

Aatrox loosened his hands and sat down on the corpse.

It's not that he likes sticky blood corpses, but that there is no clean space around him, even if it's just a place to stay!

The corpses of Greek and Ottoman defenders were staggered together, and no one was sorting them out. Only a few Greek soldiers were searching for things that were useful to them.

The wounded Greek soldiers still have the right to howl here, but the wounded Ottoman soldiers ushered in only absolute death.

Squads of new Greek troops are pouring in from the breaches in the city walls and the city gates that have been shattered by black powder, trying to make the number of living people outnumber the dead.

Unfortunately, this effort failed to 'win'!
Even the corpses on the ground were used as defensive materials, and the soldiers of the new Greek army who had just come in piled them up where they needed to form simple meat wall obstacles to block the inner city of Istanbul. On the castle fort, bullets hit from time to time!
The remaining soldiers who won the victory like Aatrox and Pantheon can use the precious time after the battle to rest and recover their physical strength, or wait for their blood to flow out, turning from a seriously wounded person into a corpse , and then stacked on top of other corpses as defensive materials!

No one collected the corpses of the Greek soldiers. The superiors requested that the cremation be carried out after the battle was over. The reason was that they did not have so much time to deal with the large number of corpses!
Aatrox looked at the groups of fresh troops driving far away, and the fear in his eyes subsided a little. He looked at the only pure blue sky here, and said to Pan Sen:
"When I go home and marry your sister, I want a daughter, not a boy."

Pan Sen was slightly taken aback when he heard this. This kind of thinking seemed very different in this age of patriarchy.

"why?
This is the first time I have heard of a father who likes girls but not boys.

If you want to tell me that you treat men and women equally, you don't need to use this reason. "

Aatrox smiled and replied: "Because when a boy grows up, he can only fight desperately for others and die in a foreign land.

Only girls can stay with me and visit my grave.

When will this world of cannibalism end..."

"Perhaps, after this war is over, peace will come to Greece, after all, no one can fight against the tyrant Levi's army in southern Europe.

Let alone Greece. "

"Hehe, what if the British army lands in Greece again?
Didn’t Aristotle’s madness and blindness begin after that decisive battle?
Many people say that after that decisive battle, Greece was dead.

I couldn't understand at the time, how could the Greek nation, which has a splendid history of civilization for thousands of years, die so easily?

now I understand.

If a sufficiently long historical civilization is useful, the Greeks and Egyptians should have unified the world long ago.

I think there is no civilization with a longer history than these two peoples.

What about in reality?

The long history and civilization can only become our self-indulgent fantasy.

No matter how splendid the history of civilization is, it cannot stop the destruction of elite armies sent by countries with only a few hundred years of civilization.

The long history and civilization will only make the conquerors more excited, because they will trample on a country with thousands of years of culture.

I think, in the eyes of the tyrant Levi, the greatest use of Greece lies in this.

I used to be proud of my Spartan ancestry and proud that I was Greek.

Right now, I just want to...survive! "

"Unexpectedly, for us to survive, it has become something that can only be obtained by doing our best.

Aatrox, perhaps you are right. "

boom!
As soon as Pan Sen finished speaking, there was a sudden roar a hundred meters away from them. The already shattered city wall was ravaged by shells again. The only difference was that the shells flew in the opposite direction!

"It's the artillery of the Ottomans!
They also have a lot of artillery hidden in the inner city, so hide quickly! "

Aatrox looked in horror at the flying gravel that was hit by solid shells a hundred meters away, tore the bodies of the two hapless men into bloody rags, and grabbed Pan Sen.

Suddenly, Pantheon let out a scream, and Aatrox's violent movements involved the wound in his abdomen.

It was a gap left by a Turkish scimitar. Pan Sen had to spend a lot of effort to keep his intestines from leaking out!
"Aatrox, remember to give the letter I gave you to my sister, otherwise you will never marry my sister!"

“Pan Sen, what did you say?
You said that piece of paper you gave me earlier was your letter?

When did you learn to write?
Even if you wrote the letter, are you sure your sister can understand it?
She doesn't know as many words as I do. "

"idiot!
Wouldn't I ask someone else to write it for me?

Wouldn’t my sister and mother find literate people to read letters to?
Have you been fooled by the Ottomans? ! "

"All right.

But I can't leave you here, the Ottomans are crazy, a lot of shells are bombarding our defense zone, and if we guess wrong, a group of Ottomans wielding machetes and thick-barreled muskets will rush up at the end of the shelling.

At that time, you will be chopped into pieces by them! "

"Aatrox!
My injuries are too serious. If you don’t want me to drag you to death here, please leave immediately!

My sister still needs your care! "

“Haha, Panson.

Have you forgotten?

As long as I dare to step out of this city wall, those alien troops behind will beat me into a sieve!
We Greeks can only die here, to fight the last drop of blood for the tyrant Levi!

Pantheon, I want to ask you a question before I leave.

Do you hate the Ottomans more, or the tyrant Levi more? "

There was continuous sound of artillery all around, and broken stones were flying everywhere, but the Holy Alliance's artillery counterattack soon came. This is the fundamental reason why Aatrox can still chat with Pantheon here.

Pan Sen looked at the purgatory-like surroundings. He relaxed all over and lay down on the ground again, choosing a comfortable position that would not involve his wounds.

"From the time I was sensible, I knew that we had a group of Ottoman lords on our heads, who wantonly insulted us Greeks and assigned all the tax shares to us.

The prestige elders in our village could only kneel on the ground and report when facing the Ottoman taxpayer.

Every time the Ottomans came to our village, I would try to hide my sister and blacken her face so much that I couldn't recognize it.

Therefore, I hate the Ottomans, I long for the independence of the Greek nation, and I once had an unparalleled admiration for Aristotle!
It was Aristotle who made me understand what nation is, what freedom and equality are, and people of the same nation should unite to fight against foreign enemies!
Of course, it was Aristotle who made me understand how sad it is to be born in a weak and deceitful nation.

Whether it is the Ottomans or the tyrant Livi, they are the enemies of the Greeks.

Aatrox, when you face your enemies, do you still think about which enemy deserves more death? "

"Parson.

You are right, but we are now helping one enemy fight another enemy, even giving our lives!
I!No!sweet! ! ! "
