Alien world

Chapter 1233 155. Soldiers must obey orders.
The Kingdom of Rekanel, the Kingdom of Dimon, and the Empire of Orcas were once the front lines in the fight against demons.

Together they maintained order in the North.

But after the fall of the Kingdom of Rekanel and the retreat of the Ocas Empire to protect itself, only the Kingdom of Dimon was still resisting.

Because they have nowhere to retreat.

But now, the intervention of Liberty City has given the kingdom an additional way out...but this way out cannot be accepted by the royal family.

Therefore, the only people who knew about it were the king, the eldest prince, and Marshal Galkin at the front.

After Field Marshal Galkin learned about this, he sent someone to reply, "I understand," and came to the terrace of the command room.

The generals were arguing in the map room behind them. Outside the window, which reflected the huge figure of Marshal Galkin, was a thick, impenetrable darkness. From time to time, a burst of light would briefly illuminate the earth from the depths, causing the window sill to tremble constantly.

As the door of the map room was pushed open, the messenger rushed in, and the roar from outside and the chaotic noise in the camp poured in along with the cold wind.

The guard behind the door closed the door to block out the noise outside.

The sudden light in the depths of darkness was not lightning, but the light and shadow of evil energy. The roar was not thunder, but the sound of battle coming from afar.

Only darkness is real darkness, but lurking within it is a tide of rats like an ocean wave.

Rat people are like this, endless and overwhelming like waves, flooding towards you. Anyone who faces them will feel powerless and hopeless.

City wall?

A city wall is one that can consume the ratmen. Otherwise, no matter how high it is, it is just a small mound.

The deputy liaison officer of the Northern Resistance Corps walked behind Grand Marshal Galkin with the message delivered by the messenger: "Lord Galkin, the supplies in the rear have arrived, and they want us to open the portal."

A few minutes later, Marshal Galkin, wearing a coat, and a group of officials arrived at the camp.

A large portal opened in the open space illuminated by illumination magic, and carriages carrying supplies drove out.

Marshal Galkin walked to the wooden box next to him. The guards beside him drew their swords and cut off the latch of the box, opening it, revealing brand new magic muskets that were neatly placed in the sawdust and shining with oil.

Marshal Galkin grabbed a handful. It felt heavy, with a cold glow on the surface, and was made of solid material.

"Liberty City?" He tilted his head and asked.

The deputy liaison officer said, "Yes, they were all sent from Liberty City to the capital..."

"Why waste the energy to transport this broken thing?"

Grand Marshal Galkin threw the magic musket back into the wooden box and said impatiently, "Send it to the blacksmith shop to be melted down."

He opened a few more wooden boxes, and found weapons and armor. Marshal Galkin's expression was much better, but limited: "No food?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the food is still on the way."

"Why not use the portal to transport it here?"

"It must be supplied to the capital first..."

Marshal Galkin snorted coldly and said nothing: "Vegio, how much food do we have left?"

"It's enough for the army to consume for five days."

"That's not enough, call Hanji over."

Soon, the leader of the Green Shield Knights came before Grand Marshal Galkin.

The armor forged from fine steel was covered with scratches from battles with ratmen, and his face was as firm as if carved by knives and axes. No one doubted his loyalty to his beliefs.

"Grand Marshal Galkin." Captain Hanji saluted as a knight.

"Take your knights and go to the rear to collect food."

"That line of defense..."

"Someone will take your place."

"As ordered."

Captain Hanji stood up and left.

Not long after, a group of knights left the camp.

...The northern resistance army's defense line is set up at Fenris Pass. In the old days when there was no Snow Mountain Fortress, this was the front line of the Dimon Kingdom to resist the demons. With the loss of the Snow Mountain Fortress, Fenris Pass was reopened and was captured by the demon army last year.

Because the pass was lost, the demon army was able to advance straight in, causing a series of chain crises such as the Lesio Valley and the Mountain City.

After retaking it, the capital spent a large amount of materials and money to build the Fenris Pass to prevent the demon army from approaching the capital again.

Behind the pass is a large plain connected to the Lesio Valley, which fortunately was not contaminated by the plague. After a large number of residents moved in, it became the kingdom's grain-producing area this year.

What the Green Shield Knights have to do is to collect food from these new people.

After leaving the first town, there were several more wagons loaded with food behind the Knights...

Yes, only a few.

Not even enough for the Knights themselves.

But there was no way out, as this was the amount of grain that the mayor had mobilized the entire town to contribute.

The grain that the villages and towns they passed by next did not pay much. After repeated collection by the kingdom, they could no longer provide more grain.

There were also women who could not survive and rushed into the streets with their children, begging the Knights to leave some food for them.

More and more people came to the streets. They were pale and thin, ragged, and didn't even have a pair of decent shoes.

A few knights could easily deal with such a group of poor people, but they stood in front of the knights as if they were not afraid of life or death.

A bard squeezed out and shouted at Hanji: "You said that moving back to farm would keep us safe, so we did! You said we needed money and food to resist the ratmen, so we donated everything we had! You said everyone had to defend their own country, so we sent our children to the front line! But you want to take away our last food—"

The mail-armored war horses stamped their hooves restlessly, and the knights held their weapons tightly to prevent the impending riot.

The bard's eyes turned red and he screamed, "We can only die!"

Hanji clenched his fists so tightly that veins popped out.

Holy Light... If you could see this tragic scene, why didn't you respond to our call...

"Captain, do you want to disperse them?"

The staff couldn't help but warn people as they watched more and more people gather on the street.

"…Give the food back to them." Hanji suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"I said give the food back to them."

People on the street looked at the young Knight Commander in disbelief.

"Captain, the Grand Marshal..." the staff couldn't help but remind him.

"I'll go explain this to the Grand Marshal."

……

"You idiot!"

Hanji flew backwards, knocking over countless expensive collectibles on the display cases along the wall.

He got up silently, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you not convinced?"

Marshal Galkin standing there was like a lion awakening, emitting terrifying power.

Hanji raised his head, his eyes like a calm lake: "Lord Galkin, the food is not enough for us... If we take away the food, they will die..."

"Annan said something that was one of the few times I agreed with him."

Marshal Galkin said sternly: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders."

"I am willing to accept the punishment..."

Grand Marshal Galkin ignored him and walked past him.

"follow me."
