In just one day, the army led by Deep Snow broke the elite of General Orton's direct command, and the rebels on the Western Front were defeated.

Instead of taking advantage of the victory, Shenxue sent a part of the guards to sweep away the scattered deserters who broke away from the rebels, and blocked the road leading to the royal city on the Western Front, assuming a posture of holding out to the end.

Ferdy didn't understand this.

General Orton's soldiers were already defeated, and according to common sense, they should take advantage of the victory at this time to pursue and completely annihilate them, and when Ferdy went out in the morning, he also attacked with the mentality of finishing the battle, but after he killed Atru, he was immediately called back by Deep Snow.

Now Ferdy was sitting across the deep snow, a little resentful.

"Not happy?"

Miyuki drinks a tea made from passion leaves, which is a local specialty drink of the Odyssey, and it tastes good...... That's it, but in this small country, it's good enough to have a drink.

Ferdy glanced at the passion tea in front of him and didn't move, "Can you explain?"

"Absolutely. Shenxue sat down and stretched, "After all, you are the main general, as a staff officer, I have to report to you in every detail—right, the main general?"

Ferdy's body shook, and he already knew roughly what Shenxue would say.

"As a commander-in-chief, the most important thing is to sit in the army, if you die, or something goes wrong, this guard army will be immediately defeated, and this is not a problem that can be solved by a few cannons. ”

In war, the importance of the commander is self-evident, he is the backbone of the army, especially in a country like the Odyssey, when the commander dies, it means that the army is destroyed.

"It's great to kill Atru, but no matter what, General Orton's army is always more numerous than ours, even if it is defeated, General Orton is not stupid, it's just a cannon, and in the end it's just a long-range attack weapon, but it's a little more powerful and has a longer range...... Sooner or later, he will be able to figure out how to deal with it. Fuyuki smiled, "Besides, are you sure you can beat General Orton?"

General Orton is very strong, he is the man with the strongest title of Odyssey, and he is a cultivator who can step into level 7 with only one step, and Ferdy has not even touched the threshold of level 7, and the two of them fight, and the victory or defeat is basically twenty-eight.

Public and private, deep snow could not really make Ferdy and General Orton meet.

"Also, I'm going to tell you something very important—"

"What?"

"The royal city is under siege. ”

Ferdy immediately stood up and stormed the door, but before he could step out of the threshold, Deep Snow grabbed him with an arrow.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness the princess is not in the royal city, and you can't protect it if you go. ”

Ferdy exerted all his strength, but he couldn't break free of Shenxue's palm. The latter half-pushed and half-pulled Ferdy back into his seat before continuing: "Don't worry, only the sailors of the East Road are attacking the royal city now, and those people can't defeat it, at least not in a short time. ”

"Do you have a task for me to do?"

Deep Snow snapped her fingers, "That's right. ”

She grabbed a map, spread it out, and pointed a spot on it, "You're going to this place." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... I can't bear it. Then you are the one who can deter them the most. ”

The place to which Deep Snow was referring was the southern Odyssey, and Ferdy knew that it was where the southern rebels were located. In other words, Shenxue wanted to resist the footsteps of the southern rebels on his own, so as not to join up with the eastern rebels and attack the royal city together.

The deterrent power of mortars will not always exist, even if the nobles are afraid of death, but they can't eat the meat in their mouths, they are absolutely unbearable, it is only a matter of time before they march, and relying on those hundreds of orcs alone, trying to resist the alliance of the nobles is tantamount to death.

The deep snow guards need to stop General Orton's elite on the west side, and they basically can't pull away. And Wang Cheng couldn't divide any troops, so he could only rely on Fei Di, who was a cultivator, to help.

The roll call of the mortar may be dodged by luck, but Ferdy is a real level 6, and it is impossible to pass his level without paying a considerable price.

In this way, the aristocratic coalition can be deterred for a while.

Ferdy figured this out and immediately agreed, but he also expressed his concern about the existence of General Orton.

"Without me, General Orton has no problem?"

"It's like you can fight it. Deep Snow patted Ferdy on the shoulder vigorously, "I'm sure I can't beat General Orton, but well, war is not a heads-up, you just go!"

"Good. Ferdy stood up again, ready to go out.

"Eh, you're going to leave like this?"

“？”

"What about the military order, why don't you tell the guards that I will temporarily take the position of the chief general after you leave, otherwise how can I command them?"

“…… Also. ”

Odyssey is a coastal country, and its coastal trade is relatively developed compared to other countries, so in order to maintain maritime trade, its naval power can still be seen.

Now, however, the Odyssey's proud navy has reversed its turn and rushed to the Odyssey's royal city on a warship.

As a royal city, convenient transportation and superior geographical location are necessary conditions, and now this advantage has become a lifeline for the royal city. One of the largest rivers of the Odyssey flows from the edge of the royal city to the sea, and in normal times it is a river that brings wealth and prosperity, but now it brings death and smoke.

The navy army, which is usually only responsible for maintaining order, cannot resist the strong sea men, but in half an hour, the naval troops of the royal city were bombarded and killed, and the guards of the royal city could only watch the port being occupied and the process of being approached by the soldiers.

The Odyssey Navy arrived just a short time after Shenxue led the guards out of the royal city, and basically arrived with the front foot as soon as the back foot left, giving people the illusion that Shenxue had agreed with them.

However, even if the navy came earlier, Shenxue would leave with the guards, and if General Outon was not stopped, the two groups of troops would converge under the royal city, and there would be no way to recover.

The royal city is too big, the defensive front is too long, and the cannon will not be too powerful in the end, and it is impossible to kill thousands or hundreds of people in one shot - in the night city, it will only kill and wound thousands of people - in the big battlefield of the royal city, the cannon does not play a big role.

Fortunately, the magic shield of the royal city is working quite normally, the number of magicians in the navy is not large, and the two sides have come and gone in the siege battle on the first day, the navy did not climb the walls of the royal city, and the guards of the royal city did not lose many manpower.

However, on the second day, the day when Deep Snow launched the bombardment of General Orton, the siege of the navy was sharply strengthened, and they recruited a few magicians from nowhere, using their warships to continuously attack the walls of the royal city, and the magicians of the royal city worked hard to maintain the magic shield, otherwise the walls of the royal city would be destroyed by the end of the next day.

The warships of the Navy also have cannons, but compared with the cannons in deep snow, they are not only too large, but also a few levels less powerful. And even so, this caused Wang Cheng to suffer a lot of trouble.

Martha was making her daily routine rounds of the city walls, and she was not in charge of the royal city guards, which were the business of the generals who were still loyal to the royal family, but she was just coming to see if there were any gaps in the walls so that the rebels would not take advantage of them.

Because a siege battle had just ended, there was blood all over the city walls, and the guards had no time to clean up, except for the guards who still had their hands on the city walls, the rest of the people went down the city walls to rest. The two days of fighting made everyone very tired, and almost everyone was wounded.

The monks and priests in charge of the treatment have long been working at full capacity, but the guards with minor injuries can only resist, at most using some medicine to treat external injuries, and it is basically impossible to enjoy the treatment of the Holy Light Technique.

However, even if they have been treated by the Holy Light Technique, it is impossible for the seriously injured guards to return to battle in a short period of time, and the treatment of the Holy Light Technique is to put it bluntly, the life and physical strength are overdrawn in advance, and the injuries are too serious, and once they are treated, they will die directly, and the injuries are cured, and they have to lie down for a while, just to save their lives.

With the rebels numerically superior, the situation in the defense of the royal city became more and more unfavorable.

The people of Wangcheng are now panicking, and in order to maintain order, Martha has spent a lot of thought.

The most feared thing in the defense of the city is internal problems, and Martha's duty is very important.

Due to the lack of manpower, the royal family recruited some civilians to help with the defense, of course, they would not let the civilians go up the walls, but only let them be responsible for transporting supplies and making consumables, or caring for the wounded and other logistical work. The city's maid, Lala, was in charge of the civilians, and almost no one was idle.

If you want to say that the most idle, it is their King Majesty.

King Charles did not intervene in the defense of the city in the first place, and the generals in charge of defending the city told him to pass at a glance, like a magic guide for signing.

Leave the professional business to the professional - King Charles often said this on his lips, and now he travels faithfully.

Although in Martha's opinion, this is just His Majesty the King running away, after all, His Majesty the King is recognized as having no talent.

If we can survive this crisis, I don't know how far this country will go-

"When a country is going downhill, there always needs someone to sit in the driver's seat and put a foot on the accelerator. ”

Oops, how can I remember the words of that woman now.

Martha bit her lip and continued to patrol the walls.
