Xu Xie sat alone in the corner, eating some dry and hard bread.

He had no intention of mingling with regular army soldiers and chatting like other militias.

He buried his head and nibbled at the bread in his hand.

He didn't count how many enemy soldiers he killed today.

All he knows - he's tired now.

I just want to finish eating the bread in my hand quickly, and then go to bed, rest and recover my strength, so as to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

......

......

"Ah, coach!"

"Why is the coach here..."

......

At this time, Xu Xie suddenly found that there seemed to be some noise around him.

Before I could look up to see what had happened, I suddenly felt the light in front of me dim.

He looked up in doubt. In front of him stood an old man looking at him with a smile.

This old man, Xu Xie knows.

After seeing the old man's face clearly, Xu Xie turned the color of doubt into the color of surprise.

"Denis de DuPont..." Xu Xie turned his stiff tongue and spit out the name of the old man standing in front of him.

The old man standing in front of Xu Xie was their commander-in-chief of the Orleans garrison, Denis de DuPont.

Before Xu Xie could ask Denis why he was here, Denis turned his head and shouted to the soldiers who recognized him:

"Don't care about me! You continue to eat, drink and chat! "

"I'm just here for dinner!"

After the soldiers around him didn't have to look at him in surprise and doubt, Denis turned his head back.

He continued to look at the Xu Xie in front of him with a smile and raised the bread and water in his hands.

"May I sit next to you?"

"... feel free. Anyway, you are the commander-in-chief, and I don't have the courage to refuse you. "

"Don't think too high of me..."

After saying this with a bitter smile, Denise sat beside Xu Xie very casually regardless of the dust on the ground, then unscrewed the cork of the water bag, filled his mouth with water, and then tore the bread into small pieces and sent them into his mouth.

And Xu Xie didn't pay attention to Denis sitting next to him and continued to nibble at the bread in his hand.

After Xu Xie finished eating the bread in his hand, Denise suddenly said:

"Unexpectedly, you joined the militia and helped our regular army defend the city. I was worried that you wouldn't come to help fight because you still didn't trust our army. "

"You can kill britannians and get money. Why don't I come? " Xu Xie said faintly, "and you have proved the credibility of your army, so I will trust your army again."

"Hehe. Xu Xie, your performance today is quite heroic. I've seen your heroism. "

"... thank you for your compliment." Xu Xie continued to respond coldly in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

And Denis didn't care about Xu Xie's cold response and continued to say with a smile:

"Your swordsmanship is superb. Have you learned swordsmanship from anyone?"

"... I learned fencing from my father."

"Then your father's swordsmanship must be superb."

"That's nature."

Since just now, I have been coldly responding to Denis's Xu Xie. At this time, the tone changed a little for the first time.

A little more pride and satisfaction.

"My father is a famous master of swordsmanship. Even if he fights with a hundred people at the same time, my father will not lose."

"Don't you lose the battle with a hundred people at the same time... That must be a master of swordsmanship with excellent skills."

Denise continued in a reverent tone.

"If you have the chance, I really want to see your father and see your father's swordsmanship with my own eyes."

"... you have no chance to see my father."

"Huh? Why? "

"Because my father died in the Fei Hai Plain eight years ago."

Xu Xie's words immediately made Denise speechless.

Eight years ago, Fei Hai Plain - when these information are connected, you can immediately think of which battle it was.

It was the last battle of the "summer wind" offensive against the British Empire eight years ago - the battle of Fei Hai Plain.

In that war, even if Su Cheng arrived, Luo Linjun was on the verge of success, with countless casualties.

Denis was also involved in that war.

With his eyes darkened, Denise whispered:

"Well... That is to say... Your father is a soldier..."

"Well, the market is sluggish, and the fencing hall opened by my father can't continue. Therefore, we can only join the army and earn military salaries to support our family."

"I thought there was no problem to become an officer in the army by my father's swordsmanship."

"But who knows..."

Xu Xie's fists clenched slowly.

"My father died in Feihai plain before he could make any great achievements..."

"And there are still no bones... So far, my father's body has not been found..."

The defeat in the battle of Feihai plain made the Luolin army dead and injured countless and could not find the body - this is too common.

Xu Xie's words made Denise's face more ashamed, and his head could not help burying lower

Xu Xielian took a few deep breaths to calm his mood.

Then the sink channel:

"That's why I want to participate in the city defense."

"Not for any reward."

"Not to protect the city."

"Just to kill more britannians."

"I'll keep killing."

"Kill until I die...!"

After saying this, Xu Xie waved to Denis, probably because his mouth was dry.

"Denis de DuPont, lend me some of your water."

As soon as Xu Xie's voice fell, Denise did not hesitate to hand over the cow leather water bag to Xu Xie.

After taking the water bag and filling his mouth with "Gudong" and "Gudong", he asked Denny:

"So - as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, what are you doing here? Is it just to commend my heroic performance today? "

"You're right." Denny said without thinking, "the reason why I came to you is really just to commend your heroic performance, because your heroic posture today is so dazzling."

"... I can't see. As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, you have a lot of time."

......

......

They were speechless.

Either Xu Xie or Denise stopped talking.

Although they still sat shoulder to shoulder, no one spoke again.

Although the atmosphere between them was so silent and silent, it was strange - it didn't make people feel uncomfortable or embarrassed at all.

It was not long before Xu Xie, with his head slightly lowered, finally broke the silence between them:

"Hey... Commander in chief, let me ask you... With our virtue now, can we really guard the city..."

"I can see clearly on the wall today."

"The britannian army outside the city is dense, like an ant colony."

"And the incoming British soldiers are very strong. I almost died several times today."

"Do we really hope to hold this city?"
