    The most famous thing about Lokmasu, a city in eastern Aden, is the tall tower with a spire that reaches straight into the sky. It looks far away from the towering lighthouse at Mas Bay Naval Port, forty miles away.  As part of the Mas Bay defense line, Lockmasu has been stationed with 15,000 Aden troops all year round as a military force to cooperate with the Aden Navy in deterring the South China Sea. However, now, with the change of ownership of Mas Bay, the Aden Navy has been replaced.  After Mas Bay was driven out, Lok Mas Bay, a city known as the double line of defense with Mas Bay, became the first line of defense facing the south. A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the streets of Lok Mas Bay, and every time  A person who hears this kind of movement immediately feels a sense of tension and depression.  Aden General Eilinde, who was in charge of Lokmasu, woke up from his stupor. He immediately raised his head from the table and asked the adjutant who had just come in, "Has there been any reply from the military department?" Due to staying up late and worrying for several consecutive nights, he  He was extremely haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.  The adjutant shook his head with an ugly expression.  Eislund stood up with angry eyes and asked, "Didn't you say that Kaciru's 10,000 troops have already set off? Is there no news at all?" The adjutant was silent, but he still shook his head: "I'm sorry, sir. There are people everywhere outside the city.  It's the troops of the Nanxi people. None of the cavalry we sent to contact us has come back. Our news has been cut off and everything is in chaos!" Aislinde stood up and walked back and forth for more than ten seconds, stopped and asked.  "The situation in the city should be relatively stable, right?" "It's very troublesome. The nobles in the city are fleeing, which has caused a lot of fluctuations among the civilians." The adjutant knew that he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "Yes, everything is as your Excellency said, as long as  As long as the nobles in the city don't get up and make trouble, the situation in the city is still under control. "It's good to be able to stabilize it, just be stable." Eilinde sighed, glanced at the bleak scene outside the window, and said to himself  He murmured in a low voice and asked with a tone full of bitterness. Who would have thought that in less than half a year, the situation in Aden would fall from the peak of the sky to such a situation. Even the commander-in-chief of the military, Lockmasu, who was once known as the most lucrative position, would  officers, have also been reduced to the point where no one cares about them, and I, the unlucky guy, was the one who was accidentally selected. The main reason was because there was no one available in the military department. A great war in the south made countless upstarts in the military department losers.  The general's stain, and he, the regional garrison commander in the royal capital area, did not participate in that war because his abilities were too mediocre. Unexpectedly, he became one of the few middle- and high-level military officers with no record of defeat. In this way, the military headquarters  According to the transfer order, I, a worm who was waiting for death in the royal capital area and could retire with honor in five years, was promoted from the head of the garrison to the military chief of the Lockmasu area. He was considered to have entered the ranks of generals.  When we arrived at Lok Masu, it was a mess. Mas Bay suddenly changed hands, and the main force of Aden's navy suffered heavy losses. Aden's naval power completely withdrew from the south, and there was no support from the navy. This was originally built specifically to echo Mas Bay.  The city of Lockmasu has become the frontline of the war. It would be fine if it was just the Nanxi people who were ready to make a move. As a former military powerhouse, there are still 8,000 Aden troops stationed here in Lockmasu, and they are not afraid of the pressure from the Nanxi people.  What really made Ellinde feel uneasy was the Imperial Navy that was sweeping the sea area. The Imperial Navy sold Mas Bay to the Nansi people at a high price, and then began to sweep the islands that had originally surrendered to the Aden Navy. Soon,  The sea area construction that the Aden Navy had worked hard for decades was destroyed, and some islands that resisted suffered devastating blows. The Imperial Navy's act of killing chickens and monkeys not only frightened the people of Nanxi, but also the people of Aden in the nearby coastal areas. It is known as the largest in Aden  The city of Aden Anxi was turned into ruins under the bombardment of Imperial Navy warships. How long can Lockmasu, which is less than one-tenth of the area of ??Aden Anxi, be able to hold on?  "Sir, according to what I see, both Yilan and Lancia have surrendered to the Nanxi people, and we are alone. The safest way should be to break through to the Ancuolan area immediately before the Nanxi people complete the encirclement.  This is the safest." The adjutant made the suggestion cautiously. No matter in terms of strategy or military strength, Lockmasu was helpless in the face of the powerful Imperial Navy. Fortunately, Lord Eilinde allowed it.  The civilians and nobles in the city left, otherwise the wealthy nobles who had been here for many years would have gathered in Lord Aylinde's office. "We have not received the order to retreat. The consequences of evacuating without authorization will be to escape, and we will be executed." Ai  Forester did not agree with the adjutant's suggestion, but shook his head with a wry smile. He had always been regarded as a figure who came to gild, but in the face of real danger, he showed the toughness of an Aden soldier. Even the adjutant himself  They all found it incredible. The Shangguan first ordered the evacuation of the residents in the city, strengthened the city wall defenses, and burned down the fifteen miles of woodland outside the city that was once known as the Merlin Belt, completely destroying the city.A wide line of sight has been laid out outside the city of Lockmasu. As long as the Nanxi people appear ten miles outside the city, they will immediately be spotted by the sentry tower on the city wall. This shows Ellinde's determination. "There is no need to use such a look."  Look at me, I'm not as brave as you think." Eilinde sighed under the eyes of the adjutant, "I'm not an elite of the kingdom. Those who are good at fighting are all in Central Asia, and it has nothing to do with bravery. I am  According to a regional garrison officer, the reason why I am still here is because I know that Aden has no way to retreat. Our navy has failed, and our army is even more defeated in the south. The Aden soldiers were once regarded as  The name Ao is now synonymous with shame, but we can't give up like this. If we can't defeat the sweeping empire, how can we still be unable to defeat the Nanxi people? If we really lose the city and escape, the military will be the first.  Time will kill us on the spot, because Aden can no longer bear another disastrous defeat." "In the end, we are Aden soldiers! We may not be so-called famous generals, but we are soldiers, and it is necessary to die in battle, which is also our destiny.  Isn't it?" "Yes, I understand." A flash of determination flashed across the adjutant's face. "Islund was parachuted in from the royal capital. If nothing goes wrong, Islund will be transferred back again within three years."  In the royal capital, two such officers and adjutants have been sent away. One of them stayed for two years and seven months, and the other only stayed for one year and eight months. Lokmas is nominally the main port of the Aden Navy.  The cities attached to the Gulf are strictly speaking front-line battlefields, facing the threats from Nanjing. But in fact, with the powerful Aden Navy, the people of Nanjing can only rely on the Aden Navy. How can they know how to station them?  Lockmasu, who has thousands of troops, poses a threat. He came to Lockmasu to serve as a military commander. Not only did he gain the honor of serving as a military commander on the front line, but he could also take advantage of the Nanxi people. But now  The situation has completely changed. The Nanxi army has gathered, and the war is about to break out. However, domestic reinforcements have been unable to arrive. Even the Aden Navy, which is the strongest barrier, has shrunk to Harima, thirty miles away. Lockmasu is now an isolated city!  Even if Eilinde was ordered to give up, he believed that he could use his connections in the capital to reduce the punishment. But this time, the adjutant unexpectedly discovered that Eilinde was determined to fight to the death!  Soldiers must be prepared to fight and die at critical moments. What Aden is lacking now is soldiers who are willing to fight and die!  Looking at the adjutant's back as he turned to leave, Aylinder stood in front of the window, staring at the gray sky in the distance. He did not participate in the southern war, but that did not mean that he did not understand the powerful elites known as the two armies of the royal capital.  Well-equipped, with many famous generals, and several times the number of troops compared to the invading imperial army, it looked like a hearty victory, but the result was a disastrous defeat, with a hundred thousand troops and two armies from the royal capital being captured in the south of Aden.  A mere 20,000 Imperial troops were defeated head-on, and they were defeated in the land battle. As a result, even the powerful navy that had dominated the sea for decades was defeated. The military reports changed three times a day, with various theories. In the morning, everyone had an opinion on the situation of the battle.  I was still confident of victory, but in the afternoon I was doubtful about my life due to the battle reports. Some people said that the army was greedy for life, otherwise it would have killed 20,000 imperial troops even with its mouth. Some people said that the military command was stupid and the victory was in vain.  It was given to the empire, but as a regional officer who reads the military newspaper every day, there is only one thing on his mind. Everyone is a soldier. Since they are soldiers, why are they beaten like this! Are they still beaten by people?  Not to mention the famous double armies of the capital, even a hundred thousand pigs couldn't fight like this!  The most frustrating thing is that I can't do anything but watch!  There is no other way but to yell at your pig teammates twice!  Eilinder, who was in charge of logistics work for the regional garrison at that time, will never forget that in the morning light, the war horses roared into the wind, accompanied by the clang of weapons and the sound of cars. On the road that passed through the southern mountain pass, Ai Linde  Forester led the local garrison to maintain order and saw a scene he would never forget: the endless flow of people like a long dragon, rolling in from the east and heading west.  The south has been completely defeated. Slaves are burning and killing everywhere. The big noble estates can't stand it. What's more, they, the common people of Aden, can only survive by going north and entering the mountain pass.  Some people are driving carriages loaded with large and small boxes, some are panting and carrying all their belongings, some are empty and carrying nothing, a poor old man is driving two sheep and staggering; a woman is holding a child in one hand and carrying a heavy basket in the other.  The luggage trudged hard on the cold snow and fell. The hungry children were crying in their arms and the mother was sobbing. People kept passing by, but no one stretched out their hands to help. The disastrous defeat of the southern war not only destroyed  It made the people of Aden arrogant, and even made the hearts of the people of Aden become selfish and numb. Their eyes showed confusion and sluggishness: they had lost their home, they had lost their home.Having lost our land and loved ones, what will our future be like?  And mixed among the civilians, there are also a large number of soldiers.  The seriously wounded soldier was lying unconscious on the stretcher on the roadside, crying: "Mom, mom!" The soldier with an injured leg was limping and cursing while walking on crutches. His companions had already abandoned him;  The muddy and bloody soldiers sat in the snow and kept pleading loudly, "I am the fifth army! Does anyone know where our army is?! Please, take me away! My leg is broken! Please!"  People strode past him, and no one stopped.  Until his vocal cords were torn and he could no longer scream, he cried silently, grabbing the grass exposed on the snow with his hands, struggling to move and crawl like an insect. Some soldiers from both armies of the royal capital were already very ashamed.  He took off his helmet with red tassels floating around, and walked away with his head hanging down as if he were a civilian. Seeing these defeated troops, Eslinde was stunned. "Is this still the two armies of the royal capital?"  Not long ago, the mighty armies of the royal capital walked past me with their helmets on their heads and their armors shining coldly, singing war songs on their lips. They were full of confidence and even their eyes were shining with arrogance. The Holy Word will end the war in half a month.  It had only been half a month to kill all the imperial troops invading from the south. Their clothes were in rags and covered with mud. They were more like beggars than soldiers.  If there is anything to be said for these embarrassing guys, it means that it is not just a few of them who are embarrassed, there are thousands of such soldiers, but in them, we can no longer see the Aden soldiers who once dominated the world.  In glory, an officer riding a tall horse yelled, "Make way quickly! Don't block Mr. Lasi Fei's march!" The soldiers had no response. "Didn't you hear it?" The officer was furious and whipped him randomly, but the angry soldiers turned around and joined forces.  He pushed the officer and his horse into the mud. "Beat him to death. If the officer hadn't escaped first, we wouldn't be in such misery. Beat him to death." The screams echoed for a long time. Eilinde looked like he hadn't seen it.  Looking to the other side, "You should have died fighting in the south, why are you coming back!" "Sir, the Nanse Army has moved. Just an hour ago, 5,000 Nanse Ramta Bang light infantry crossed the border.  "The adjutant came over again with a hurried look. "Ellinde came back to his senses from the scene in his mind. He was just an ordinary soldier. He had never even seen the battlefield in a real sense. He believed that if he evacuated, the military would also  I won¡¯t hold myself accountable, but can I really just leave like this?  It was easy to retreat, but he knew very well that once he gave up Lockmasu, it would not only open the eastern gate of the Kingdom of Aden, but also the ambitions of the southern countries. The tentative attacks of the southern countries, which were not very determined at first, would be  It will immediately turn into a full-scale invasion of Aden!  The domestic situation in Aden was simply unable to resist. Thinking of the defeat of more than 100,000 troops in the southern battlefield, but very few generals of the kingdom who died in the battle, Aylinde said to himself: If Aden needs a general who is willing to die in battle!  You start with me!  "
