Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 108 The Value of Sacrifice

Under the city of Marseille, the setting sun is like blood.

The entire city wall was full of people, and the royalist and revolutionary armies were intertwined and killed.

The buzzing of crossbows, the clashing of weapons, and the roars, shouts, and wailings of people filled the entire space, and everyone was fighting hard.

The armor on A Nuo's body was broken, his body was covered in blood, and he was surrounded by enemies. He roared wildly and waved the mace in his hand, setting off waves of blood among the crowd.

Miss Sophie also had white armor stained with blood, and her hair was disheveled. She shuttled among the many enemies, swiftly waving the rapier in her hand, causing each enemy to fall down clutching their vitals.

Senior Sister Sofina's eyes were also red, she gritted her teeth, and with a short stabbing sword in one hand, she led a group of soldiers to frantically attack a strong man with an axe.

Finally, the horn sounded in the distance, and the tide of enemies slowly faded away, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Seeing the enemy retreating, many soldiers of the Revolutionary Army fell to the ground. Some could still struggle to get up, but some were completely exhausted and could not stand up.

Those who were still able to move supported each other, carried the exhausted and injured on their backs, and were busy cleaning the city wall, pushing down the corpses left behind to be burned, and repairing the broken defense equipment to prepare for tomorrow's battle .

Since the beginning of spring, the royalist party has been increasing troops to Marseilles. Later, they sent many strong men from the Holy See, changed their appearance, and secretly joined the royalist army. The strength of the royalist army is increasing every day. Finally, they The offensive has officially begun.

Different from the previous small fights, now they come out in full force every time, attacking Marseille with all their strength, so that the revolutionary army has to defend with all their strength and use all their strength to defend.

The successive siege battles did not stop for a day, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

However, the royalists seemed to have made up their minds and continued to increase their troops. Except for the two regular regiments left in Paris, the other believers and nobles who rushed to Paris for support were all sent to the front line of Marseilles, regardless of losses and casualties. crazy attack.I want to completely extinguish the fire of the revolutionary army that is about to start a prairie fire.

************************
In the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and the large tent of the Chinese Army, regular meetings were held as usual.

The generals in the tents have long since lost their original brilliance. Most of them have tattered armor, many of them are wounded, and their expressions are also very sluggish. Only the voice of the report is still a little bit strong.

"Today, our army killed 483 people, nearly a thousand were seriously injured, and there were countless minor injuries. Although the arrows and food are still sufficient, the loss is really too great."

"The Lord of Montpellier, the Marquis Davout, has promised to help us, but he is still unwilling to send troops. However, the aid supplies have already set off and are expected to arrive in Marseille within three days."

"Relying on the cheapness of defending the city, today we killed about 6 to 7 lackeys of the Holy See, including 14 people above the master level. We still haven't found any Martial Saints participating in the battle."

"The replenishment of our army's troops is still too slow. Several cities that fully support us have almost reached their limit. The number of supporters coming from other places is also declining. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to consume those royalists."

"The wounded barracks are full. Every day, people die of serious injuries and are carried out. Now we are in short supply of various medicines. We hope to find a way to deploy some from the rear."

No one likes bad news, but after fighting for so many days, the bad news still comes unstoppably one after another, making everyone frown and frown.

They all looked at the short middle-aged man on the main seat, their eyes full of doubts.

They didn't know why this military god, who was always full of ingenuity and invincible, used such simple, blunt, and even stupid methods to fight against the royalists.

Even Miss Sophie, who has always been indifferent and doesn't participate in debates or express opinions, couldn't help but let out a tired and helpless voice: "Master Marshal, I don't understand why we have to fight with those corrupt and backward royalists all the time." Here, we can fight more flexibly, smarter, and reduce losses. Even if we secretly leave the city of Marseilles and risk the whole army to attack Paris, it is better than fighting with them. , at least we are somewhat prepared in Paris, and it will not be difficult to earn a city gate by then. But here, we will only be consumed little by little meaninglessly, one by one."

Out of trust in this legendary military god, the other generals' exhortations were originally very tactful and gentle.But what Miss Sophie said today was so straightforward, even more like a complaint, which made the military tent suddenly quiet.

The silence in the military tent did not last long, and the great military god spoke: "Since everyone has such questions, let me make it clear today."

The short figure stood up slowly, standing surrounded by everyone, looking extremely tall.

"You rescued me, begged me, and needed me to save France, not to defeat these royalists. It is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to save France and revive France. We have a lot of evils in France. , and the biggest cancer is the Holy See! If you want to revive France, you must completely eradicate the Holy See, and this is not easy!"

"The Holy See is too big and too strong. If they really try their best, none of us here can survive, so we can only outsmart them. Patriarch Richelieu developed this plan for The most important thing is the cardinal election three years later. He wants to be crowned cardinal with this unworldly merit, and his plan is not supported by everyone in the Holy See. He can use it now , most of it is his own power."

"If we defeat this group of royalists, and then destroy the Holy See all over France and kill noble believers, this will naturally eradicate the Holy See's power in our France, and this will inevitably lead to a counterattack by the entire Holy See. Such a counterattack , we absolutely cannot resist."

"What is the basis for the founding of France? It is the nobility! It is the support of nobles who have strength, knowledge, fame and ability. And what is the basis for the existence of the Holy See in France? It is not the cathedrals. They are also nobles! Those nobles who no longer support France, the French royal family, and the French people, have turned to support the Holy See and the belief in the God of War! Those nobles are now eyeing us outside the city!"

"Only here, in the city of Marseille, can we completely eliminate them in an upright and reasonable manner! Completely eliminate the foundation of the Holy See in my France!"

"Our sacrifice here is by no means meaningless! We are here to truly eradicate the Holy See, for the revival of France tomorrow! To let the wavering and neutral nobles see the weakness of the Holy See , to see the hypocrisy of the Holy See. I can see another option, to choose another possibility, the possibility that our France can completely get rid of the Holy See and truly recover!"
