vs 46 Offensive and defensive battles of the Crane (12)

Glenn Cliff, Duke of Braderidley's cousin, is one of the important members of the Cliff family, and his ability to become the commander of these 30,000 hoplites is enough to show that Duke Braderidley trusts him.

In the Clrysburg War Boardroom, he was at the forefront with several high-ranking generals of the hoplite regiment, whose distinctive military uniforms stood out among the nobles and officers of the Klan.

Glen-Cliff himself was embroidered with delicate orchids on his belly-studded leather coat, which even overshadowed the falcon crest of the Cliff family, and his long reddish-brown hair was neatly combed back and covered with sesame oil, and his neatly groomed face had a confident smile from the beginning, a smile that was very annoying to most young men, but unusually charming to some ladies and ladies.

"Viscount Gran, I hope you understand that the issue we are discussing is of vital importance to the entire Clan, and indeed to the entire Empire, if... Do you know what that means if you can't take Bivest in a day?" Chief of Staff Lem said in a more serious tone than ever.

Viscount Goran smiled and saluted Lem, "Cullen is here to conquer cities, and of course, it would be better if we had a team of magicians to support us. ”

"Your Excellency, this is no child's play!" Lem's tone began to become unfriendly, and if Viscount Goran was not a guest of the Karen Lord, he might just scold.

"Lord Lem, I'm not talking about child's play. The look of displeasure on Viscount Gran's face flashed, "If you allow it, I promise that my soldiers will break through the walls of the town of Bivest before dark." ”

"Oh?" said Duke Ron, straightening up, his eyes sharpening.

"It's less than four hours until dark, Cullen Kid. An old Klan-led nobleman said with a skeptical tone.

"Maybe you should let this arrogant boy give it a try?"

...

The nobles of the Klan Territory were discussing the promised time of Viscount Goran, and the people of the staff immediately gathered around Duke Ron and whispered.

A few minutes later,

Duke Ron lined up his staff on the left and right, and said to Viscount Goran: "You can gather your men now, before dark, I would like to see your men standing on the walls of the town of Beard, and the Klan Leader longbowmen and a brigade of magicians will assist you." ”

"You'll see. ”

...

The hoplite legion led by Cullen was worthy of being one of the few legions composed of professional soldiers on the continent of Alan, and twenty minutes after the assembly order was issued, the teams of each camp had been assembled.

Duke Ron of Crane City took the siege very seriously, and in order to achieve a quick victory, he withheld nearly a third of the arrows from the Imperial side to support the Seventh Combined Army on the Kemir River.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on July 4th,

The siege of the town of Bivest, under the full command of Viscount Gran, officially began.

Without much complicated tactical configuration, the Cullen hoplites, under the cover of the Klan Leader longbowmen and magicians, directly erected siege towers and chariots to advance in four ways, one to attack the southern wall of Beard Town, and the other three to assist in attacking the other three walls.

The flesh and blood of the orcs could not withstand the torrent of steel led by the hoplites led by Cullen, and before reaching the walls, all the forward defenses laid out by the orcs were crumbling in the face of the hoplites.

Viscount Gran shows the nobles of Crane the power that the Cliff family used to defeat the orcs three hundred years ago...

Hoplites, every soldier is trained from an early age, and the law of Cullen Law states that every year in February, as long as children over the age of twelve must participate in the selection of hoplites, once selected, then they will spend their entire lives in the barracks.

It is these sturdy armors that help the warriors resist all physical attacks except for a small number of penetrating attacks, plus the huge iron shield inlaid with magic runes in their hands and the paladin officers equipped with each brigade, such a configuration, they are almost invincible in fixed siege warfare and positional warfare.

Of course, the weaknesses of the hoplites were also obvious, such as poor mobility, excessive depletion of fighters, and inability to fight for a long time, but these weaknesses were completely absent in the siege of Beardtown today.

At a quarter past six, when it was almost dark, Viscount Gran fulfilled his promise, and the southern wall of the town of Bivest was completely occupied by one of his vanguard regiments.

Half an hour later,

The orc warriors of the other three walls also withdrew from the walls one after another, and organized defensive lines in the streets of the town, preparing to engage in a roadway positional battle with the hoplites of Viscount Goran.

This is undoubtedly in the hands of Viscount GΓΆran,

If this is all the orcs have set up, then their fate may have been sealed.

At this moment, in the command post outside the town, Viscount Glan was receiving congratulations from the nobles of the Klan Lord, and he was enjoying the process.

So, when the herald of the front line commander asked Viscount Goran if he would continue the attack, Viscount Goran said to them in high spirits: If anyone can kill the orc commander first, then I will give him the title of knight in the town center of Biwest Town.

When Viscount Goran's promise was conveyed to the front-line troops, the whole battlefield boiled.

A knighthood,

In normal times, it would be almost impossible for a civilian to obtain this title, but now, for the soldiers on the front line of Beardtown, it seems to be within reach.

The nobles of the Klan Territory all looked at each other silently after hearing the sudden burst of shouts and killings from the front line, and then they smiled and moved closer to Viscount Golan's side.

...

The battle on the front line went very smoothly, and the good news reached the headquarters outside the town of Bivest one after another.

At eight o'clock in the evening,

Duke Ron, who was originally in Crane City, personally rushed to the front command headquarters to congratulate Viscount Golan in advance.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

In the end, even the Chief of Staff of Lem expressed kindness to Viscount Gran at the behest of Duke Ron.

Even in Chrysburg, a celebration feast was already being prepared.

But while the crowd was happy,

Countless fiery red lights suddenly flashed in the sky above the town of Bywest, and just when everyone was amazed, these red lights became larger and larger in the blink of an eye.

Soon, everyone reacted, it was a meteor.

No, no, it wasn't a meteor, it was a meteorite, and at this moment, people with good eyesight on the ground could even see the details of the meteorite that was rapidly falling.

The scene is very shocking, and it is also very beautiful and splendid.

But what is even more shocking is the powerful pressure that oppresses people's hearts when the meteorite lands, which is a sense of oppression that makes it difficult to breathe, and this sense of oppression cannot make people have another mind to sigh at this beautiful scene!

"It's meteorites!" Reem, a professor of magic, reacted quickly, a hellish expression on his face, and it was clear that fear was spreading in his heart at the moment.

Meteorite, a forbidden magic spell explicitly listed by the Locke Empire, was used by a councilor of the Elven Kingdom of the Naren Forest for five thousand years in the Great War of the Three Clans more than three hundred years ago at the cost of his life and the vitality of an entire forest.

Just such a spell wiped out more than 10,000 people in the combined human and orc armies at that time!

Later, in order to consolidate their rule, the nobles of the empire issued a series of magical techniques that were forbidden to be studied, and 'meteorite' ranked in the top ten.

After that, the empire also signed a series of related treaties with the elves to restrict the research and development of forbidden arts.

The elves had no objection to this, and they also spat on this forbidden art, and even the elven councillor who launched the forbidden art to save an entire elven ranger army was not loved by the elves themselves, because he made an entire forest lifeless, which was unacceptable to the elves who loved nature.

...

Most of the nobles around Lem had heard of the legend three hundred years ago, so when Lem said 'meteorite', the nobles of the entire temporary command couldn't help but panic.

However, the chief of staff of Lem took advantage of the chaos to grab Duke Ron's arm, and then activated a magic scroll he had prepared with him, only to see that a pale white halo flashed and then centered on the bodies of Lem and Duke Ron, the space around them began to distort, and the bodies of the two disappeared in place in the blink of an eye.

A few seconds later, in the break room of Lem's magical laboratory sponsored by the Chrysburgh Dhora family, the calm space distorted for a while, and the figures of Duke Ron and Lem appeared.

"Vomit"

The teleportation of space caused Duke Ron to vomit,

But soon, the vomiting Duke of Ron reacted, he forcibly stopped the desire to vomit, and then pushed away Lem, who was handed the towel, and walked out of the laboratory at great speed, towards the castle's finished tower.

And at this moment, in the direction of the town of Bikest, the gorgeous meteor shower is very beautiful,

The citizens of Crane were fascinated by this beautiful sight, cheering and jumping to celebrate this rare sight.

But then, the shaking of the earth, and the powerful heat wave from the shops, made the citizens understand that they were in trouble, and that it was unprecedented trouble.

Duke Ron looked out at the fiery red sky in the distance from the tower, feeling a desperate shock, his eyes were already dead ashes, and Lem next to him moved his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

...

As early as the beginning of the battle in the town of Forest, Pedi, who was far away on the Todkoth farm, received a letter from his father.

Yes, it's a letter from home.

There is not a single word in the letter that mentions this war.

Moreover, in the letter, Duke Nick actually asked Pedi to immediately give up the matter in hand after receiving the letter and immediately return to the territory of Kru to preside over the affairs of the territory.
