When the Blackarmor Warrior stood in front of Jennings, the latter always felt like he had seen him somewhere.

"Watch your words and deeds!" the adjutant said in a displeased voice as he looked at the black-armored warrior who neither saluted nor spoke, "In front of you is the regent of Lone Rock City, the southern guardian of the Heavenly Father's diocese!"

Jennings looked at the black armor on the warrior's body by the light of the torches, and frowned thoughtfully.

The adjutant noticed that the soldier was still indifferent, and immediately shouted in annoyance: "There must be a limit to rudeness! Take off your helmet!"

The adjutant's voice attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, and people gathered around, some curious, some confused, and some worried, and all eyes were focused on the black-armored warrior.

The latter finally moved.

"As you wish. ”

After a simple sentence, the armor covering his head was removed, revealing the warrior's resolute face...... and dozens of twisted and wobble parasite limbs.

"He's a he's a hex!"

There was a shrill cry from the crowd of onlookers, and the nervous lieutenant drew his sword and looked at the warrior warily.

Jennings was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand and said to the adjutant, "Put away your sword!

After dealing with everything around him, Jennings turned to look at the fearless face of the warrior and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"Randall Quincy. ”

"Randall Quincy? Jennings struggled to recall the past, suddenly remembered something, and then said movingly: "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be ......"

Randall said calmly, "That's right, I once served in the army under yours for a while. Later, because of my alien identity, I had to flee with my mother in exile......"

Jennings sighed gloomily: "I remember, you were originally a hunter and joined the Volunteers to help the kingdom. On the battlefield, I was impressed by your archery skills and bravery, and I ...... at that time."

"My lord, I don't want to talk about the past anymore, why don't we focus on the battle in front of us?" Randall put his helmet back on, looked at the dark night outside the city, listened to the foreign Chinese language coming from the wind, and said: "The enemy's attack has been frustrated, and he will definitely not retreat." ”

Jennings took a deep breath, nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this light cavalry unit of the enemy is undertaking a surprise attack, and their main purpose is to use mobility to capture the city gate by surprise. ”

"That is, the great forces of the enemy will come very quickly. ”

"Yes, but don't worry, I've sent messengers to many of the generals in the kingdom, and they will soon be here with reinforcements. ”

Randall looked sideways at the corpses on the city wall and whispered, "The question is whether this place can be held until reinforcements arrive?"

Jennings knew what he was worried about, and laughed: "Lone Rock City is built on a mountain ridge, and there are natural rock walls on both sides of the outer city gate as a cover, if you want to attack from the bottom of the mountain, not only will the power of muskets and artillery be greatly reduced, but even the soldiers' march will become extremely difficult. ”

Jennings paused for a moment, then added, "The only trouble is that there aren't many defenders in the city. ”

Randall asked curiously, "There aren't many defenders in the city?"

"Most of the soldiers are stationed on the Moon Creek Plain north of Lone Rock City. ”

Randall was even more strange: "The Pagan Empire is located in the south of Lone Rock City, why is it stationed a large army in the north instead?!"

Jennings cast his gaze into the distance and said softly, "I just don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Holy Acropolis. ”

At this point, Randall understood everything in an instant.

Lone Rock stationed most of its soldiers in the north to defend against Dusk.

In the battle for the heir to the throne of the Holy Acropolis, the Knights of the Twilight West forcibly entered the territory of the Holy Acropolis under the pretext that the mission was attacked, and finally supported Queen Mary to the throne. Although there are all kinds of twists and turns, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the behavior of the sparrow occupying the dove's nest in Dusk City.

In addition, the Holy King of the West established Protestantism, expanding the influence of Protestantism while suppressing the Diocese of the Heavenly Father. This has also aroused the vigilance of some traditional religious kingdoms.

Finally, the fact that the Southerners had not launched a large-scale attack on the North for decades also somewhat paralyzed Lone Rock's judgment.

Taken together, these three points prompted the regent of Lone Rock City to make the choice of "gathering troops to the north".

Thinking of this, Randall sighed deeply. He said to Jennings, "My lord, Twilight City is not what you think it is. ”

"The rise of any kingdom is full of killing, deceit, and plunder, and it is no different in the history books. Jennings glanced at the sky, and the faintly lit sky signaled that even after the night had passed, light was coming.

He said with emotion: "You were originally a citizen here, so naturally you should know that due to the special geographical environment, Lone Rock City has been living in the gap of power, and we have been forced to learn to be cautious and precautionary, which is a helpless thing. ”

Seeing that Randall was silent, Jennings smiled and said, "If you're worried about troop strength, I can tell you you don't have to. The army of Lone Rock City stationed on the Moon Creek Plain was very close to the royal city, and it would be possible to rush back in two or three days at most and join the battle against the south. ”

Randall nodded slightly, "I hope so." ”

At this time, there was a shout from the watchtower: "Enemy!

Jennings listened to the screams of the soldiers around him, pushed away the people around him, and walked quickly to the city wall, looking into the distance, and the scene in his field of vision made his eyes widen and gasp.

Imperial Army, Imperial Army Scattered Over the Mountains!

The neatly lined musket regiments, the heavily armed heavy infantry, the shining artillery team, and the endless baggage carts slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes in the sunshine of the rising sun.

The adjutant standing beside Jennings looked at the momentum of the imperial army on the winding mountain road, and stammered, "I'm afraid there are three ...... here No, the strength of the four corps. ”

Jennings had a distressed look on his face, and said in words that only he could hear: "In the past, the South was at war, and I always thought that the strength of those heretics was no more than that. Now it seems that this unified empire, like a lion awakening from sleep, has bared its sharp fangs and sharp claws. ”

Randall walked up behind Jennings and whispered to him, "My lord, with all due respect, the gap between our forces and our forces is too great. ”

The latter froze and shouted to the adjutant behind him: "Send a second group of messengers at once! Find our generals and tell them to speed up the march, immediately! Immediately! Reinforcements to Lone Rock City as soon as possible!"
