The detachment leader, adjutant and other people arrived at the first narrow city wall in the southern district relatively smoothly, although there was an inspection before, but fortunately, there was an adjutant of the logistics team on the same road, and they did not encounter much trouble.

The more they walked towards the south gate, the more they felt the solemn breath in the air, and many people began to appear around them, many civilians, holding torches, dragging their families with them, completely looking like they were fleeing.

When they reached the first narrow wall of the southern district, they saw two large rings of fire still burning!

"Did those noble private soldiers place trebuchets on the edge of the southern city wall?" said the captain of the first detachment of the rangers.

"Could it be because of ......," the leader of the rangers said again.

"Why? The squad leader asked, and at the same time he vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, but that answer would make them rangers sinners, and he was a little afraid to admit it.

"Because you ranger brigade all went to the north gate to change the defense of our logistics brigade, and the commander only cares about how to deal with you, so when the south city gate is attacked, there is no one to defend the city at all. The adjutant suddenly gave the answer that the detachment leader and the team leader did not dare to say.

After the adjutant finished speaking, no one answered, and he turned around strangely (he was at the front of the line) and saw that the other five had awkward looks.

"Don't, don't look like this, you're just following orders, hehe......" The adjutant was embarrassed, he knew that he wouldn't answer.

"Get out of the way!" At this time, a group of ten archers ran over in a column, shouting for the detachment leader and his party to give way.

The captain of the detachment obediently got out of the way and stood on the side of the road, and when the group of archers passed by them, the leader of the detachment grabbed the leader of the group of archers, and he wanted to ask about the situation.

"Brother, what's going on up ahead?" asked the team leader with a smile.

"You're bold, bold!" The leader of the archer team, who was originally running on the side of the column to lead the team, was pulled by the detachment leader, and almost fell. Then, he saw the position sign of the detachment leader, and had to salute the detachment leader with a red face.

"Squad Leader, what's the matter, all stand up and rest in place!" the leader of the archers first asked the squad leader in a polite tone, and then gave an order to his own team.

"What an adult is not a big man, hehe. Brother, I would like to ask, what is happening up ahead? Many civilians are running north as if they were fleeing. The squad leader first waved his hand at the flattering title of "Lord", and then asked the captain of the archers about the situation.

"Aren't you assigned to guard the narrow walls?" asked the head of the archers, curiously.

"No, no, no. The squad leaders shook their heads in unison.

"Strangely, now the fortress troops are gathered on the north side, except for those who have been called to guard the narrow walls. The head of the archers continued to wonder.

"We were called to the South Gate to get some supplies before it was attacked. The detachment leader continued to use the excuse he had told the adjutant earlier.

"Don't go to the south city gate, the outside of the first narrow city wall has fallen, and we didn't have a single soldier on the south city wall before, and those noble shrimp soldiers outside easily attacked it. The head of the archers also began to shake his head and sigh: "Alas, this should be the first time Versailles has been breached...... Captain, what do you need? Do you want me to get you some?"

"No, no...... And those civilians fled outside the city walls?" the captain of the detachment must have objected, and the excuse for taking material materials was to say.

"No, you should have seen it before, those noble shrimp soldiers put more than a dozen magic flint stones in, and then they didn't let them go, I heard that they rushed directly to the narrow city wall, but they didn't continue to attack, what's even more strange is that ......" The archer leader lowered his voice and continued: "The top also told us not to attack those noble shrimp soldiers!

"What?

"......" The archer's face darkened, and he looked left and right, but it was clear that some of the civilians around him and his soldiers must have heard it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You go first, thank you brother. The squad leader apologized to the head of the archers, then turned around and kicked the stupid soldier.

The captain of the detachment wanted to teach more lessons, but when he saw the civilians around him who wanted to come to inquire about the situation, he had to tell everyone to run away from here first.

"You stupid thing, you just screamed stupid! I want to ask for more. When a few people ran to a place where there was no one, the squad leader who endured all the way walked directly to the stupid soldier who asked everyone to escape, gave him a big ear handle, and beat him so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Squad leader, you are angry, mainly because the news is too shocking. As the leader of that stupid soldier, if you don't come out and say a few words, it will be difficult to lead the troops in the future: "If the commander of the fortress really wants to give up Versailles, let's not talk about the responsibility of the commander's superiors, there are many places to talk about just retreating there." ”

"Then you talk about it, which way to retreat, you still need to say? If you don't say one, two, three, I'll even follow you!" "The detachment leader teaches people, and you dare to meddle as a team leader?"

The team leader laughed awkwardly before he said: "Look, there must be a direction for retreat, and we only have two directions in Versailles......"

"Tell me I don't know!" The captain of the detachment interrupted the group leader's words, all of them are the garrisons of Versailles, who doesn't know that Versailles built a city in the canyon? The cliffs on both sides sometimes fall some big stones and hurt people, and the canyon only has two exits? Is it difficult to go to the sky? Not so much.

"Good...... Okay, okay, retreating north is definitely not retreating to the orcs, that's called attacking, and we definitely can't attack anything. To retreat to the south, that is, to fight with the noble private soldiers, but if you want to fight, you will already fight, you see that now I will send some archers over, and it is not like a large-scale retreat to the south, and this is also called attack, not retreat. Therefore, only a retreat to the Warcraft Forest is really a retreat. "The team leader will no longer explain what he knows this time, and directly analyze the retreat place.

"The team leader is amazing!"

"The leader is wise!"

"The team leader is invincible!"

As always, the three soldiers under the team leader have turned on the flattery mode again, but in front of a deputy team and a sub-captain, is this really good? The team leader wanted to be like the sub-captain, and one of them gave them a big-eared handle.

"Also, if you really retreat to the Warcraft Forest, then you must have the intention of attacking, otherwise you won't abandon the fortress and run to an inaccessible place for no reason, and this place is still very dangerous. The team leader glanced at the three subordinates and continued.

"Abandon Versailles and retreat to the Warcraft Forest...... The target to be attacked has to be big, and the cost is already so high. The deputy team listened to it for a long time, and then couldn't help but say.

"Who is enough to attack, I don't know, anyway, it's not to clean up the monsters. Besides, we shouldn't go further south now, we have to go back to the north!" the team leader looked determined.

"Back to the north again?" the detachment leader's head was a little confused, he actually thought in his heart that retreating was just going to the inside of the empire, running to the outside realm called retreating? And we just arrived in the south not long ago, and then went back?

"Well, you have to go to the Warcraft Forest and stay in the big army to be safe. The team leader returned.

"It's safe again, okay! The captain of the detachment remembered again, last time he had listened to the captain's so-called safety and hid in a hut, but he had only come to this point, he was the captain of the first detachment of the rangers, and now he had a group of subordinates by his side!

"Team leader, I want to go to the South City Gate. The stupid soldier who had just been taught a lesson by the detachment leader, when he heard this, stood up more courageously and said what he thought.

"You ......" the squad leader was about to say something, but was interrupted by the team leader.

"You think about it, the South City Gate is now in the hands of the noble private soldiers, and if you are slow and can't catch up with the large army and retreat to the Warcraft Forest, it is very likely that you will be ...... by the Warcraft" The team leader is very strange, this time he did not forcibly stop his team members, he used to ask the team members to listen to him, and he couldn't have other ideas.

"Hmm. The silly soldier nodded.

"Okay, catch up with us sooner rather than later. After the team leader finished speaking, he turned around, called the others and went north, he roughly estimated that most of the troops in the fortress must have to set off after dinner, at most, plus the families of the soldiers in the fortress, so the time is still a little tight.

And the stupid soldier, after watching the backs of the others leaving for a while, took a deep breath, and then turned around and ran in the direction of the south city gate.

"I said, it's not like you. The detachment leader slowed down a few steps and ran side by side with the team leader.

"Hey, this guy has embarrassed me a few times, and I kindly reminded him, he didn't listen, then forget it......" The team leader turned out to be so cautious.

The fortress of Versailles, outside the southern gates, the barracks of the noble private troops.

Because the southern gate of Versailles had just been captured, and it was already dark, the northern nobles of the Atlantan Empire decided to spend the night outside the city and enter the city early tomorrow morning.

At this time, the nobles were celebrating the capture of the south gate of Versailles, drinking high-end red wine while loudly laughing at the cowardice and incompetence of the Versailles army.

And at the banquet celebrated by the nobles, there were also several soldiers who poured wine and served food for the nobles.

Jim, who was short and thin, was one of those soldiers who did the service. Jim, who was born in a poor family, was not well nourished due to lack of food since he was a child, and often did hard work, which made him not tall, yellow and thin.

Of course, such people were common in the empire.
