Chapter IV: Support

"I'm sorry to hide it from you, Lisanna. Alexander turned around and grabbed a Stoke Empire soldier and threw him straight off the wall. He continued apologetically, "It's not that I don't trust you, but I always feel that your recent state is not very normal. To be on the safe side, I had to ask the mage to follow me in disguise. I hope you understand me. ”

"......" Lisanna didn't answer immediately, she looked at Alexander, her face a little pale.

"......" Alexander didn't expect Lisanna's reaction to be so violent, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked around anxiously.

Another Stoke soldier rushed over, but his target was Lisanna, who was stunned on the spot. This guy didn't understand how a woman could appear on the battlefield, and he didn't understand why this woman was stunned on this battlefield where swords and swords were flying. But this did not prevent the soldiers from killing the enemy, no matter what happened to her, as long as she wore the armor of the Hawke Empire's army, then cut her.

Alexander looked at Lishana and saw that she was still there in a daze. So the imperial prince sighed helplessly, and then waved the bright moon to behead the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the spot.

"Lisanna!" Alexander's tone changed a little: "Commando Commander Lisanna!"

"......" Lisana froze for a few more moments, and it took a few seconds before she suddenly came to her senses. She hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said loudly, "Lisana is here!"

"Given your state of performance at this point. Alexander's tone began to turn cold, he looked at Lishana and said rather sternly, "I think you have lost the sanity and mental judgment that you should have in commanding a commando team, do you accept it?"

"Lisanna......" Lisana's eyes turned red, she had put a lot of effort into studying this raid before. She hadn't thought about what to do with all kinds of emergencies, but on the contrary, the night before the assault, Lisanna had barely slept all night, and she had been there studying all kinds of emergency responses.

In fact, the fact that the Stoke Empire had premeditated their surprise was also within Lisanna's consideration. She had done a lot of simulations and calculations in her mind at the time, and after her repeated calculations, Lishana finally came to the conclusion that if the local area had premeditated this raid, then the wisest and most reasonable thing to do was to order all the commandos to retreat while they were taking the opportunity.

The way to deal with this situation was actually thought of long before Lishana encountered it, but in the end, she did not choose to retreat immediately. Lisana didn't know exactly why, but anyway, she just didn't want to disappoint Alexander again, even if it would cost the lives of a large number of commandos. But...... Either way, Lisanna just didn't want to see Alexander's stern and disappointed expression again.

Therefore, Lisanna hesitated to the end, and did not say the word retreat after all. Even if it's strong, even if it's strong, but no matter what, Lishana just doesn't want to disappoint Alexander anymore. Because...... If she disappoints him again, she'll lose everything......

Therefore, Lisanna did not choose to retreat until the end, she did not want to retreat to the barracks in embarrassment, because it would be ...... Lishana felt like she was truly proving that she was useless to Alexander, and what that meant?

But now? She's finally messed it all up. Lisana knew that they could take the gates, but that didn't mean they could defend them.

Lisanna's calculations were not wrong, and with the help of these elites she led, it was not a particularly difficult thing to take the city gate. After all, these warriors are all brave men in the Golden Eagle Knights. Although its strength is not as good as Alexander's, it is still quite possible.

With such an elite and strong commando team to conquer the city, it is still quite threatening. Therefore, even if the Stoke Empire had prepared for their siege, Lishana did not doubt that her group would not be able to take this gate if they were determined to attack it.

But the root of the problem is not here at all, but whether the wave of people led by Lisanna can hold out until the army of the Hawke Empire enters the Costa fortress. If the commander of the Costa Fortress had anticipated the onslaught of the Hawke Empire's army on their gates, they would have had countless follow-up after the reinforcements.

The experience of war since the beginning of the spring has taught the southerners how terrible it is to let the highland barbarians drive straight in. Therefore, if the commander of the Costa Fortress learns that these northerners are trying to seize the city gate with an elite assault team, he will definitely command the army to regain control of the city gate even if it is a high price.

And it was the counterattack of the Stoke Empire that became a big problem for Lisanna. She was confident that she could take the gates of the Costa Fortress with the commandos in her hands, but she knew that she would not be able to rely on the crazy counterattack of the defenders of the Costa Fortress with the people in her hands anyway.

Therefore, the decision she made at this time has already doomed many people to make useless sacrifices.

It was precisely because Alexander understood this that he thought that Lishana had lost the basic ability to judge and grasp the battle situation. Therefore, after his consideration, it was finally decided to regain control of the commando.

"Lisanna......" Lisanna's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, and finally nodded: "Lisanna accepts your judgment, from now on, the command of the commando team will be fully entrusted to you...... And I'm ......"

"And you ......" Alexander looked at Lisanna, and finally reluctantly reached out and touched the girl's head: "You better retreat first...... You've been really not normal lately, so I'm putting you here...... I'm worried. ”

"......" Lisanna still didn't answer, she just stood there dumbfounded, as if her soul had been hollowed out......

Alexander looked at Lishana, and finally he felt that at this time, let alone continue to kill the enemy, he was afraid that it was a question whether she could safely and smoothly walk down the city wall and return to the base camp alone.

The second prince of the empire sighed helplessly, he reached out and rubbed the girl's cherry pink hair: "Although I don't know what you're thinking, but ...... Follow me!"

"???" Lishana looked up in confusion, as if she didn't understand what the prince meant.

"Follow me closely. Alexander's tone was still so stern and serious: "I will...... ...... to protect you from any harm"

Lisanna understood...... "Lisanna was completely unaware of the prince's concern for her own safety, she just replied with a sneer, and then stood beside Alexander like a wooden man.

"You ...... Stupid girl...... Alexander looked at Lishana's dull expression and couldn't help but think to himself helplessly. He stretched out his left hand and took Lishana in his arms, and then with his right hand alone, he began to wield the two-handed sword Haoyue in his hand.

Although one hand was bound and a young girl was still in his arms, Alexander did not mind at all, and he burst into his vindictiveness and once again rushed at the onrushing enemy.

"Warriors of the Empire!" Alexander shouted as he slashed and slashed, "Hold on, take this gate!"

Although Alexander did not directly report his name, as a member of the Golden Eagle Knights, these soldiers who followed Alexander in the southern and northern wars were naturally extremely familiar with the voice of their old commander.

And after realizing that there was actually Alexander participating in the battle in this assault, these warriors became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Although the current leader of the Golden Eagle Knights has become Just, this does not diminish the reverence of the Knights for their old leader.

Alexander is recognized as the youngest and best Knight Commander since the establishment of the Golden Eagle Order. If the previous Golden Eagle Knights were just an elite unit of the Hawke Empire, then when Alexander took the helm of this Knights. It became a myth under Alexander. And each and every one of these knights is the myth itself!

Therefore, for the members of these knights, the former captain Alexander can give them almost blind confidence and fanaticism. Almost all of the Knights of the Golden Eagle believed that as long as Alexander was present, their battle would be won. Because, in the years when Alexander was at the helm of the Golden Eagle Knights, the Golden Eagle Knights have indeed not tasted a single defeat!

"Kill!" all the warriors of the Order let out a roar of exuberance, brandishing their weapons and fearlessly rushing at their enemies several times their size.

Ten minutes passed, and the assault team had carved out enough space on the gates of the Costa Fortress to gain a foothold.

But even then, normal people would not be optimistic about the current situation: most of the walls were occupied by the Stokes, and their soldiers numbered several times that of these commandos. Commandos can indeed seize the towers of the city walls in a short period of time to gain control of the city gates. But it also takes a lot of time to wait for the Hawke Empire's forces to storm the interior of Costa Fortress. With their current manpower, they will definitely not be able to hold on to that time.

What's even more dangerous is that once the large army enters the city, control of the city gate is taken away again. Then these troops who entered the city will almost become turtles in the urn, and the losses will not be as few elite soldiers as a few at that time!

Alexandre observed the situation again, and finally nodded and made up his mind. He let go of Lishana, who had been in a sluggish state, took out a space gem from his space pocket, and muttered to himself, "To be honest, I think her support is sometimes more important than you, Regner......"

"Come, Miss Annelot, please help me. Alexander used his power to activate the gem, and a teleportation circle with a diameter of more than five meters stretched out with the gem as the center of the circle.
