vs 17 The Fallen Fortress of Koren

Under the roaring orders of Prince Nulif, all the remaining 3,000 barbarian soldiers in the Chinese army camp moved.

In the midst of the chaos, a loud horn sounded, but it was not the sound of attack but a signal to retreat.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time as the horn sounded, a loud sound like the collapse of a mountain suddenly sounded accompanied by the exclamations of a large number of barbarian soldiers.

The voice was very loud, so loud that everyone around the Cologne Fortress subconsciously followed the prestige,

Whether it's a barbarian soldier who is busy building a defensive line,

Or the advancing Imperial.Army,

In these few seconds, I couldn't help but pause,

For a moment, countless pairs of eyes looked through the darkness at the swaying firelight on the walls of the Koren Fortress.

But I saw that the city wall on the left side of the north gate of the Keren Fortress collapsed in a violent shaking,

This roar was caused by the collapse of the city walls!

"Boom!" Immediately after, a loud bang sounded again, and another wall collapsed!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The entire fortress wall collapsed almost completely in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, the direction of the Koren Fortress fell into darkness, giving people the feeling that in an instant, the entire fortress was swallowed by a giant monster in the darkness.

An instinctive fear flashed deep in everyone's hearts,

This fear is the most basic fear and powerlessness of intelligent beings against certain powerful things.

This fear makes people instinctively think that they are in a dream, but the slight shaking of the ground and the constant screaming and roaring remind everyone that what has just happened is real, not a dream!

"Poof!" Prince Nuliv spurted out a mouthful of blood, almost unsteady on his feet,

Almost all of his elite were on the city walls, and he was the strength that his tribe had accumulated for hundreds of years, and it was lost in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness!" Quimper was startled, and looked at Prince Nuliv worriedly,

His concern was not fake, after all, this was a critical moment, and without Prince Nuliv in charge, it would be really dangerous.

Prince Nuliv took a deep breath, took two steps forward and grabbed the soft armor of Quimper's collar, dragged him to his side, and whispered: "Find a way to find Nairu and Hemai, let them gather the remaining soldiers, we need to find a way to break through!"

After that, the prince pushed Quimper away, his eyes widened, and he roared: "Go!"

Quimper was pushed to the ground, and the cold breath on the ground made the patriarch react, and he crawled to his feet, and rushed to the Koren fortress after greeting several of his cronies in a panic.

...

At this time, Pedi's troops had already crossed the forward defense line of the camp behind the barbarian camp,

It is said to be a forward line of defense, but in fact it is a temporary fortification made of rotten wood, and it is a fortification with almost no soldiers stationed!

Along the way, the only few effective resistances encountered by Pedi's troops were a few guards with less than thirty men on the watchtower.

When the walls of the Koren fortress fell, the advancing troops even stopped for a time,

However, when Pedi's herald conveyed his order to 'continue advancing', the troops soon advanced again amid the officers' angry shouts.

Soon, Andy ran back from the front line, and he stared at his cousin, "This is also your plan?"

"What do you mean?" Pedi glanced at the staff members around him, and finally stopped at his cousin.

"What else could it be, the collapse of the Koren Fortress, don't tell me you don't know!" Andy asked with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Pedi shrugged, his gaze away from his cousin, and he looked in the direction of the Keren Fortress, where it was already pitch black at the moment, but from the way he looked at the moment, it seemed that he could clearly see everything in the distance.

"Tell me!" Andy's voice increased.

"It seems that you still need to learn how to talk to the chief again. "Pedi also has a temper, and even if his cousin speaks in an unfriendly tone, he will be dissatisfied.

"Tell me, then, sir!" said Andy, again, this time louder and with the same displeasure in his voice, for after his father had spoken to him, he had already regarded the fortress of Koren and the surrounding territories as the private property of their Barrett family.

And Pedi, without his consent, ruined this place,

This was the source of his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Pei Di retracted his gaze, looked at his cousin again, and said, "We have proven that the Koren Fortress is not really of much use at all, and his role is only a transit point for the purple gold vein. ”

"So you blew it up?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Andy's eyes,

"I think the people from the military department will agree to my plan!" Pedi glanced at everyone around him again, "Regarding the blowing up of the Koren Fortress, it was directly involved in the squadron of mages sent by the Twak Lord. ”

"You mean my father?" Andy said subconsciously, but in an instant he realized that something was wrong, so he said again, "I mean, my father sent someone?"

"No, it's your brother, but I think Duke Gna will agree!" Peddy looked at his cousin, "the battle is about to begin, and all you need to do now is to crush the barbarian camp in front of you and cut off Nulif's head." ”

Andy stared at Pedy seriously for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to drink the blood of the barbarians today!"

Pedi looked at his cousin's back and smiled, and asked Wren beside him, "Did Cowlier send back any news?"

"Not yet!" Wren replied.

Pei Di let out a light "en", tightened his thick cloak, looked at the slowly advancing team, and asked, "What do you think the barbarians will choose if they break through?"

"From the left!" replied Aemond before everyone else.

"Why?"

"Because there's a primeval forest there..."This time it was the Knight of Alfred who rushed to answer, and then he added in detail: "If I were the commander of the enemy army, I would choose to suddenly attack from the left flank, and besides, the number of people who broke through the siege was not very large, only two squadrons, preferably totemic warriors!"

"Yes!" Pedi nodded in agreement, and then he asked, "Do you know why this battle went so well?"

This question was very abrupt, and everyone present was stunned.

"It's the barbarians who have helped us!" Pedi asked himself.

"I thought about it, but I didn't dare to think about it!" Aemond said suddenly, "After all, there is no such precedent before this, barbarians will not do things for the Empire, and besides, this is still the case, and the barbarians who want to do such things must have a certain status in their army." ”

"A barbarian who ran over from the Empire. ”

"You mean..."

"No, no, no," Pedi interrupted by looking at Aemond's face and knowing the other party's conjecture, he immediately shook his head, "He's not one of ours... You just need to know that there is no iron bucket within the barbarians, that is, there are people who do not want Nuliv and the power in his hands to continue to exist. ”

"You want to let him go?" said Aemond's face changed.

When Pedi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Aemond seriously,

The next moment, all the members of the staff committee reacted.

"You can consider, after all, now that Nulif's soldiers who can be dispatched have almost been wiped out by us, letting him go back can disgust those barbarians. "There is a staff officer who agrees.

"Do you seem to disagree?" said Pedy, still looking at Aemond.

"Of course, this is not at all..."

"Wrenβ€”" Peidi suddenly withdrew his gaze and called out to his servant.

"Your Excellency?" Wren immediately responded.

"Which troops are in charge of attacking on the left flank?" Pedy swept his gaze to his lieutenant.

"The Fifth Brigade, and the Mixed Seventh Brigade!" replied Adjutant Knight Alfred.

"Wren, you go and take charge of the offensive mission on the left flank, and Mr. Aemond will assist you. Pedi kept her eyes fixed on Aemond as she spoke.

"Understood, sir!" Wren was stunned, then reacted instantly, and took the order excitedly.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do. Pedi stared at the advancing troops and waved their hands to let the two of them leave.

...

Half an hour later,

Led by Andy, the Pioneer Assault Brigade of Pedi's Division was the first to engage with a defensive line constructed by barbarian soldiers on a slope.

Ten minutes later, the two flanks were also blocked by barbarian forces on their respective fronts.

And at this time, the remnants of the Imperial Army of the Coron Fortress also fought with the barbarian troops left in the fortress, but the barbarian troops who had no intention of fighting were beaten back again and again as soon as they fought, and they no longer had the bravery they had attacked the city an hour earlier.

An hour later,

On the defensive line built by Prince Nulif, more than half of the troops were killed and wounded,

It's only a matter of time before it falls,

Nuliv even took his own personal guards into battle at one point,

The battle reports on all fronts made His Royal Highness the Prince almost crushed.

At this critical moment, Quimper, who had left, reappeared, along with the remnants of the four thousand barbarians and the Naru chief, but the Hemai patriarch was nowhere to be found.

There was no extra nonsense, and Prince Nulifu immediately transferred four thousand remnants of his army to the defensive line he had built, and then pulled over the two patriarchs to discuss the matter of breaking through...

Soon, a hundred barbarian warriors were picked out,

In addition, there are fifty totemic warriors,

These are the capital of Prince Nulif's breakthrough!

...

One o'clock in the morning,

The remaining 3,000 barbarian soldiers received the order to charge from Prince Nulifu himself,

This order made the soldiers immediately understand the fate they were about to face, and they were powerless to resist it, and the habits they had cultivated over the years did not make them want to resist.

At this time, the only thing they can do is to pray, pray that their souls can really enter the kingdom of the god of war, and pray that they can see their families again in the kingdom of the god of war!

"Boom... "The long-lost war drums sounded.

This is the command to charge!

"Kill!" Amid the shouts of slaughter, the barbarian soldiers abandoned their defenses and launched a reverse charge against the Imperial army.

In the distance, Pedi, who had been paying attention to the entire battlefield, immediately came to his senses, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from Sir Ike?"

"There's already news from the scouts!" replied Knight Alfred, after a moment's thought.

Pedi's eyes lit up, "Give him an order to assemble with his paladin squad on the left flank of the troops, and I'll be there in half an hour!"
