Chapter 64 The Undeliverable Gift

The border of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The vast grassland stretches to the horizon, and a gentle breeze makes the green grass undulate and sway like waves.

The blazing sun shines down on the earth, bringing warmth and vitality to this grassland.

The dilapidated outpost stood in the woods, and a few soldiers leaned against the city wall, seemingly relaxed.

However, the weariness and vicissitudes on their faces were hard to hide, deep marks left by long-term border defense.

Their gazes occasionally drifted into the distance, revealing a hint of confusion and a deep longing for their hometown.

Not far away, several lush trees swayed gently in the breeze, adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil scene.

They left their weapons lying around, gathered on the city wall, and talked aimlessly.

"I wonder how my sister from my hometown is doing now. I've been away from home for a long time."

A soldier spoke with a thick local accent, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Hmph, all you care about is your sister. I have a family to support, including my elderly mother."

There are still a few children; I wonder how they are doing now.

Another soldier chimed in, his face full of worry.

"Hey, Da Niu, don't worry, it'll be your turn to take a break and go home in a few days."

"Unlike me, it'll be months before it's my turn."

An older-looking soldier said enviously.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, but the soldiers thought it was someone sent by their superiors to patrol again.

In addition, Da Niu and his colleagues usually maintain good relationships with their superiors.

People from above would often be sent down, and they would dismount and chat with them about all sorts of things, from the highest to the lowest.

So they didn't even glance at the commotion outside and continued talking by the wall.

Da Niu glanced disdainfully at the older soldier, "I haven't been back for over two years."

"Isn't this a system where everyone takes turns going home for vacation? What's the rush? It'll be your turn eventually."

A soldier smiled and asked Da Niu, "Da Niu, when you go back this time,..."

What gifts did you buy for your wife and children?

After hearing this, Da Niu also thought about the scene of his wife and children when he got home.

He smiled tenderly, "Hehe, I bought a few yards of cloth for my wife, and for my kids..."

Before Da Niu could finish speaking, a squad of soldiers rushed in from outside.

One of the soldiers swiftly stabbed Da Niu to death.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the city walls red. The previously relaxed atmosphere was instantly shattered.

Fear, like a cold torrent, instantly overwhelmed the soldiers present.

Their eyes were wide open in extreme terror, their pupils reflecting the bloody scene before them.

The soldiers who had just been talking to Da Niu were now frozen stiff, as if encased in ice.

My thoughts seemed to freeze at that moment, and my mind went completely blank.

They couldn't believe this sudden turn of events could happen.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

Fear gripped their throats, rendering them unable to utter a sound.

Their faces turned ashen instantly, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads like rain.

His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.

The Great Xia Dynasty has been in a period of peace for many years, like this great ox...

He has been guarding the border for several years now, and he rarely even encounters a bird on ordinary days.

He never imagined that this war would also bring him death.

It came so suddenly, so quickly.

Although Da Niu was already dead, his two eyes...

It was still staring intently in the direction of his hometown, as if unwilling to accept the gift in his hand.

He hasn't brought them home yet to give to his wife and children.

Then, none of the soldiers behind his body paid any attention to his silent regret.

After completing his mission, a soldier quickly walked to a middle-aged general and reported.

"Reporting to General Ouyang, this outpost has a team of over thirty men."

They have all been wiped out; our army suffered zero casualties, and they were completely unprepared.

General Ouyang looked around smugly at everything before him.

A slight upturn of the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with disdain, "Hmph!"

As expected, without a renowned general like Li Fei, the Great Xia Dynasty was utterly vulnerable.

The soldier said with a fawning expression, "General, even if Li Fei were alive..."

I doubt that he is now a match for you and Commander Su Zheng.

You must understand, my Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer what it used to be; its national strength and military power...

Their Great Xia Dynasty is no longer comparable to ours.

Upon hearing this, General Ouyang immediately looked smug and was about to reply when...

But they saw the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield preparing to bury the dead soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.

He quickly waved his hand to stop them, "Stop, stop! No need to bury it, just set it on fire."

His trusted aide quickly advised, "General, if you do this..."

I fear I might alert their main force behind the enemy.

Ouyang smiled smugly, "I just wanted to remind them to be on their guard."

This was to test the fighting strength of the main force of their Great Xia Dynasty.

"I hereby order the army to advance fifty li (approximately 25 kilometers) at full speed."

"Understood!" The crowd nodded in response, but General Ouyang ignored them.

Instead, he mounted his horse and charged ahead of everyone else.

The soldiers behind him quickly followed, running forward at full speed.

After the army left, the border post was left in a state of chaos.

Corpses lay strewn across the field, and the stench of blood filled the air.

The raging fire mercilessly devoured the soldiers' corpses.

It made crackling sounds, like a death dirge.

From a distance, thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky and the sun.

In the sunlight, the corpse of the soldier named Da Niu was particularly conspicuous.

His eyes, which refused to close until his death,

He still gazed intently in the direction of his hometown, filled with resentment and longing.

His eyes seemed to still reflect his wife's gentle smile.

The children's joyful figures, but now all of that has vanished like a bubble.

The gifts he had prepared for his family could never be delivered.

His body gradually turned charred black in the flames, but his unfulfilled wish remained.

Yet it seems to have transformed into endless longing.

......

Soon, General Ouyang led his troops and advanced more than fifty miles.

They set off from the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and entered the Great Xia Dynasty.

They marched nearly a hundred miles into the territory without encountering any decent army to resist them.

General Ouyang looked around at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Haha, such a beautiful and magnificent land, and their Great Xia Dynasty's court..."

It's pathetic that they don't even take this seriously! Order the entire army to set up camp here.
