Erossa, Fort Leruta -

The siege has been going on for half a month, and in the face of the combined forces of the northern barbarians and orcs, the shield of the north, Fort Leruta, is in a difficult form. If it weren www.biquge.info for the silver dragon princess Fei Wenli to be on the front line and command properly, the invaders from the north would have been ravaging the plains of the Erotha at this moment.

Repelling the attack of the northern bandits once more, Vivien Leigh folded her hands on the hilt of the holy sword and looked ahead.

The walls were stained with blood and mourning, and the mutilated corpses of the Erosa legions, barbarians, and orcs could be seen everywhere, and dark red blood flowed down the cracks in the walls.

The corpses of barbarians and orcs beneath the walls were terrifying, the boiling molten iron scorched them beyond recognition, broken bows and arrows scattered all over the wilderness, and the occasional Erosa warrior rolled down the tall walls with their enemies, they were tightly entangled and bloody.

Crows hover in the air, eager to enjoy this feast. It's ironic enough that the two warring sides are not in the same life but are blood-related after death.

However, this is war, where the powerful coerce the people for the sake of their hearts, the warriors wield their swords for glory and power, and the people who cannot survive have to find a way out......

The empire has never been sacred, the war has never been just, and the fools who have defiled justice with justice are rampant, but they are ironically crowned...... This is the reality of this world.

But at this time, Fei Wenli still didn't understand anything, and the princess of the silver dragon thought that she was the guardian of Erosa at this moment, the noble knight who guarded the people and justice. Still young, she doesn't know that she's one of those fools.

A childhood friend with long fiery red hair tied into a single ponytail walked up to Vivien Leigh, and it was Cecilia Ferrard. Time has changed, and the once arrogant aristocratic lady has become an excellent staff officer, and at this moment her tear-lit soft cheeks are stained with black ash, and her uncared single ponytail is no longer in good spirits. But despite this, the heirs of the Ferrard family have added a bit of heroism to the original softness.

"How?" Fivien Leigh, who also wore her blonde hair in a ponytail, was heroic, and the blood and dust on her body made the knight full of awe-inspiring and violent aesthetics, and she looked at Cecilia, her still resolute blue eyes with a hint of worry.

Cecilia's endless question was easily interpreted by Cecilia, who shook her head, "The situation is not good, the casualty rate is as high as 30%, although those valiant warriors have killed and wounded ten times their own enemies, but ......"

Needless to say, Vivien Leigh knew how pessimistic the situation was. It may seem that the casualty rate of the two warring sides is similar to that of the military strength, but in fact, as the casualties of the outnumbered side increase, the number of enemies that can be effectively killed will decrease exponentially. And what's even more terrifying is that even with the elite of the Erosa Field Army, once the battle losses exceed forty percent, the morale of the army may collapse at any time.

In other words, with the current state of affairs without reinforcements, it is highly likely that Fort Leruta will only last a few days.

"Where's the reinforcements, what's going on with the reinforcements?" asked Vivien Leigh. But when she saw Cecilia's dark expression, she understood everything.

"I'm sorry, Legionnaire. Cecilia's answer was unsurprising, "It will take time for reinforcements to be recruited, and His Royal Highness the Grand Duke and Lord Evan are fighting in the south, and there is absolutely no way to return at this moment." Although Icewind Castle Dema and Lord Dinah have convened an inner ring meeting, due to the inability to contact Her Royal Highness Sylvia herself, the inner ring masters who are loyal to Her Royal Highness the Grand Duke have different opinions, and the inner ring meeting has reached a stalemate for the time being. Lady Demadina said that no matter what the outcome, they would gather like-minded masters to help privately, but it would still take time. ”

Even with Fei Wenli's indomitable will, she was a little depressed at the moment.

"The only good news came from Fort Savoie. Cecilia said comfortingly, "When Madame Rebecca learned of the situation, she immediately summoned the garrison of Fort Savoie, and she herself took command and gathered her vassals to march to Fort Leruta. However, even in the case of a rapid march, it will take about ten days. ”

"Mother actually ......," Vivien Leigh's eyes widened in surprise.

Although I was very moved, to be honest, this was not good news, and it was ten days and days...... Vivien Leigh didn't know if she would be able to make it to that point. And if she fails, it will not only be Fort Leruta, but it will most likely wipe out Lady Rebecca's reinforcements. At that time, Erosa, who no longer has a mobile corps, will be in a desperate situation.

Feeling a great responsibility to lead the army alone for the first time, Vivien Leigh was silent for a long time, looking up at the dim sky and inhaling deeply.

When she bowed her head again, her original worries and insecurity were gone, and she sheathed her sword and gave an order, "Tell the officers of all departments to block the news and never allow it to be disseminated." Now the situation is grim, if I let me know who dares to let the news spread and cause the morale of the army to fluctuate, I will definitely deal with it by military law!"

"Yes, Legionnaire!" Cecilia thumped her right hand on her chest and bowed her head in order.

"Also, gather all the members of the Knights of the Rose and tell them to polish their armor, sharpen their swords, and feed their horses...... In a quarter of an hour, I will see them appear at the gates!"

"Yes, huh, huh?" Cecilia looked shocked after subconsciously accepting the order, "Fei, Feiwen Li......! Assault the enemy, right?"

The Silver Dragon Princess replied categorically, "Of course!"

"Just kidding! Do you know what's going on now!?It's a coalition of barbarians and orcs, and they're dozens of times more powerful than the Rose Knights!"

"I know. But Knight Ji did not waver, "It is because I know that I will make such a choice! The situation of Fort Leruta will not last for more than ten days, and if it fails, it will not only bury the northern border, but also most likely bring the reinforcements of Fort Sava to death." At that time, the whole of Erosa will no longer have the slightest strength to resist. ”

"But, but ......" Despite this, Cecilia still hesitated.

"That's why I have to take the initiative to attack, first, to suppress the arrogance of the enemy, second, to boost the morale of our army, and thirdly...... Once there is an extremely mobile knight force outside, the commander of the opposing side will definitely not dare to attack Fort Leruta with all his might! This is a choice that must be made in order to win!"

Cecilia, who is proficient in the science of war, is convinced, and Vivien Leigh is right, if she wants to withstand a desperate situation for ten days, she must win in the face of danger and maximize the mobility and deterrence of the Rose Knights. To put it bluntly, the knights who dismount are not knights, and they simply cannot use their maximum abilities.

"I see. Cecilia, who learned about Vivien Leigh's plan, nodded, "I'm going to deliver the order, let me follow after you and witness the miracle once again!"

"No! you stay!" Fivien Leigh's words stiffened Cecilia's steps, "I need you to command the defense of the city in my place." ”

"W-what!"

Although this reason is perfect, Cecilia will not agree with it!
