Chapter 1552 See You at the Martyrs' Shrine (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

A hoarse roar echoed in the trench. Andekai, who was holding a grenade in his hand, had his green military uniform soaked in blood, which was flowing down the corners of his clothes.

The pistol in his left hand had been thrown away long ago, and Andekai only had a sapper in his right hand. He stared at the American soldier in front of him, and the sapper was still dripping with blood. There was blood everywhere on his hands, body, and face, and he couldn't tell whether it was his or the enemy's.

He was covered in wounds and his legs felt weak even when he walked, but he still stared with his eyes wide open and walked towards the American soldier who had attacked him.

“…”

The American soldiers on the opposite side looked at this devil who seemed to have crawled out of hell, and they couldn't help but step back. Their faces, which were blackened by gunpowder smoke, emanated deep-seated fear.

"Don't, don't come over here..."

As Underkai approached him, Billy screamed in fear, and fear drove him to stab forward with his bayonet.

"Swoosh", at the moment when the bayonet pierced his chest, Andekai stretched out his left hand and grabbed the bayonet with force. The tip of the knife was inserted into his chest and his hand was holding the bayonet, but he did not feel any pain at all.

It seemed that he had forgotten the pain now and his body had automatically blocked out the pain.

"ah……"

The bayonet was held tightly by this devil like a demon. Billy, who was unable to move forward or backward, was frightened by this scene. He shouted in fear and used both hands to try to stab the bayonet into the man's body and kill this devil.

But just when he was trying his best, he saw the guy with blood on his face laughing, and it was like the smile of a devil.

"Oh! Devil, devil..."

I don't know if it was because of fear or because his feet slipped, but he fell down suddenly, with the gun hanging there. Andekai, who was holding the bayonet, pulled out the bayonet with his left hand, and then threw the gun and bayonet out. He just walked forward with the engineer shovel in his hand.

Holding the engineering shovel in his right hand, Andekai had a bloodthirsty grin on his face. As he walked towards Youxiang, who was sitting in the trench and retreating with his hands and feet, the engineering shovel scraped against the trench wall, making a heart-pounding sound.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here..."

Billy was shrouded in fear, screaming and crying like a child, his legs weak as he just sat there and retreated backwards.

When approaching this poor fellow, above the trench, a soldier fell down after struggling with an American soldier. While the two of them were fighting with all their might, Andekai didn't even look at them. He raised the engineer shovel in his right hand and chopped down the neck with it. With a crisp "click", half of the head of the American soldier who was pinching his comrade's neck was chopped off.

In an instant, blood spurted out from the broken neck like a fountain.

The blood poured directly onto Andekai's head. He wiped it with his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"ah……"

This scene really scared Billy. He cried out in fear, using his hands, legs and even his butt to retreat backwards, crying, cursing and begging as he retreated.

But all this was meaningless. Andekai stared at the American soldier who continued to walk in the trench. At this moment, his ears were ringing and he could not hear any other sound. The whole world seemed to have fallen into a kind of silence. The only thing in his eyes was the American soldier.

Finally they retreated to the end of the trench, which was actually just a corner. With nowhere to retreat, Henry screamed in despair. He tried hard to retreat, but the trench wall blocked his attempt.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly Billy's crying turned into laughter. He looked at the Ming man who was covered in blood and looked like he had just stood out from hell, and laughed out loud. He even forgot the instinct to survive. He just sat by the trench, looking at the Ming man and laughing.

Finally, the Ming man came over with his right hand raised. Billy, who was just smiling foolishly, suddenly shouted.

"Mother……"

The next second, Billy felt something hit his neck.

"Huff... Huff..."

Billy, with blood spitting out of his mouth, could clearly feel the sound of the engineer shovel cutting his neck and hitting the bone.

One, two, three...

Finally, after chopping off the enemy's head with an engineering shovel, Andekai laughed.

"Fuck you!"

Another hoarse curse burst out from Andekai's throat, and as he was chopping the American soldier's head with an engineering shovel, on the other side of the trench, several American soldiers were frightened silly. They looked at this man in horror and didn't even dare to move.

He...he, this man is a devil.

Andekai, his body stained with blood, raised his head and looked at the American soldier who was more than one meter away from him. The man was holding a rifle, but the bayonet on the gun was shaking. Andekai, his head and face covered in blood, looked at the American soldier and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"ah!"

When the American soldier saw his smile, he actually screamed, then dropped his gun and ran away as if he had lost his soul.

"Fuck you..."

He cursed muffledly and threw the engineer shovel in his right hand out. It hit the man's back accurately like a flying knife. The enemy, who was originally running away, suddenly softened and fell to the ground like a ball of mud.

He took a few steps forward and naturally took the engineer shovel from the enemy's back with his right hand. Andekai, whose consciousness had long been blurred due to excessive bleeding, just continued to move forward based on instinct. His eyes could no longer move, so he could not even distinguish between the enemy and his comrades. He could only distinguish between friend and foe based on color.

When a yellow shadow appeared in front of him, he would chop it fiercely with his right hand. Sometimes the enemy was one or two steps away from him. He just walked forward step by step in the trench, moving his heavy steps. His life was slipping away step by step, but he still moved forward step by step.

A khaki figure rushed into his sight, and the engineer shovel in his right hand kept chopping at the enemy. When the figure fell down, the blood-stained face showed the brightest smile.

Serve the country...kill the enemy!

Although Andekai's consciousness had become blurred, there was still an idea in his heart supporting him, and there was only this one idea.

Every time he killed an enemy, a hoarse sound would come out of his mouth.

At this moment no one could hear clearly what he was saying, even he himself didn't know what he was saying. His steps were getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was getting blurrier. He just dragged his heavy feet, swaying as he walked. Looking at his steps, one might even suspect that a gust of wind could blow him down.

But he still stood there and continued to walk forward. His shaky body could not even support his head. He just walked forward with his head down.

Suddenly, he was tripped by something and fell down. Andekai struggled and used his hands to support his body to try to stand up, but just as he tried to get up, he fell heavily to his knees again. He could no longer stand up, so he just knelt there, leaning on the bloody engineer shovel in his hand.

He hung his head and gasped heavily, blood and sweat dripping from his chin, and the red sweat dripped onto the silver-winged Suzaku leading the corpse.

“Ding da…”

For some reason, this voice was amplified in his head. Apart from this voice, the world seemed to fall into an inexplicable silence.

“Ding da!”

The sound of blood dripping was very familiar, just like the rhythmic drum beats on the training ground of the military academy, or like the sound of their goose steps on the training ground, and also like... the scenes of memories emerged before his eyes one by one.

"Sir, my name is Andekai!"

"I am a soldier of the Empire. It is my wish to die for the country!"

The young faces and determined roars in his memory echoed in his mind.

The smiling faces of his classmates floated in front of his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm counting on you... Martyrs' Shrine, Martyrs' Shrine, see you again..."

At this time, Andekai, who could no longer stand up, knew that his road had come to an end, but the empire still had a long way to go and it depended on them.

"You will definitely fulfill your responsibilities..."

Andekai smiled. His classmates would also fulfill their duties. After all, in the military profession, there is nothing more noble than this, and not a single cent can be less...

Once again, Andekai's consciousness seemed to return to the Imperial Military Academy. He walked into the gate again and saw himself on the training ground, standing there with his classmates. Their young faces had firm eyes, and when facing the commander's lecture, they answered in unison.

"I am a soldier of the Empire. It is my wish to die for the country!"

Once, the thunderous roar from the training ground emerged in his mind. He saw his former classmates, who, like him, longed for war, longed to prove their courage with their blood and sweat in the war, and longed to fulfill their oath.

"If you die on the battlefield one day, will you regret it?"

Once again, the instructor's roaring voice rang in his ears.

"No, Sergeant Major, if that day comes, I will gladly die!"

Yes, my time has come.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Andekai's face. Yes, it was time...
