Chapter Ninety-Five: The Siege

The Sardar Empire quickly saw the purpose of the swarm, but as Xiaoyao said, the tens of millions of defenders of Luoyan City, Sardar, could not give up no matter what.

In addition to the factor of military strength, there is also a more important point that the top level of Sardar could not withstand the difficulties of the nobles, and the ordinary soldiers gave up and gave up, and it was a big deal to give more pensions, and many of the officers besieged in Luoyan City were the children of nobles.

If the Sardar Empire abandons these people, I believe that the nobles will definitely embarrass the royal family, and may even pull the current king down. Because of this, although Sardar knew that this was a conspiracy, he had to send reinforcements to try to break the gap.

"Xiaoyao, there have been no reinforcements to Luoyan City for three consecutive days, will the Sardar side choose to abandon Luoyan City without reinforcements?"

"Unlikely, I think Sardar is ready to send a large number of reinforcements and cooperate with the defenders in Luoyan City to flank the swarm, Xiaoya, you'd better prepare in advance."

"Okay, I've already ambushed eight million lurkers and slaughterers on the way through which reinforcements must pass, and I haven't let these two classes appear in the previous robberies, so I will definitely be able to surprise this time."

"That's good, but it's best to send the queen with you, so that you can know what happens to you."

"I want to go in person this time, and if anything changes, I can deal with it."

"No! This is too dangerous, the reinforcements coming this time are very likely to have high-level powerhouses, your strength is still not enough to deal with it, I don't allow you to take risks. ”

"Xiaoyao, I know you care about me, but it's not necessarily a risk, besides, did you take less risk before?"

"That's not good, although I was adventurous before, I was still sure, and even if there was an accident, I would be able to resurrect, but you can't."

"I don't care, I'm going to go, it's a big deal to let the high-level swarm protect me, and I didn't say that I would directly participate in the battle but just command from behind."

"Nope."

"Escape! I also want to become useful instead of being a vase by your side, my strength can't help you, can you also be stifled if other aspects can help you?"

"I ...... I'm sorry Xiaoya, I was negligent. ”

"I'm not the carefree of that meaning, I mean ......"

"Xiaoya, needless to say, I know what you mean, you're right, I've been negligent in this matter, this time I agree with you to go, but you have to ensure your own safety, even if all the swarm is lost, it doesn't matter, as long as you're safe, if something happens to you, I can't imagine what will happen to me."

"Got it, I'll take notice."

"This time, you go and bring the waning moon and the full moon."

"Okay, got it."

Freya leads the swarm to the place where reinforcements must pass and begins to set up an ambush, while Xiaoyao orders the swarm to continue attacking Falling Goose City.

At this moment, Luoyan City has long lost its former prosperity, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, some injured people have to lie in simple tents on the street because there is no place, although the siege of the city for several days will not make Luoyan City lack of water and food, but it has pressed down a boulder in everyone's hearts, yes, people can't breathe.

"Alas, I didn't expect Zelos to surround us from the rear, are we really going to finish the game this time?" It was a recruit who had not seen any war at all.

"Don't be so pessimistic, the empire will definitely send reinforcements." The veteran beside the young man saw that he was so lost, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Reinforcements? Does the Empire care about the lives and deaths of us civilians? Maybe we've been sold by the Empire. ”

"Of course, the reinforcements are not to save us, but if you look at the many noble officers in this city, the empire will definitely not abandon them, and when the time comes, won't we be saved with reinforcements?"

"Uncle Ronco, little one, is right, we will definitely be saved."

"However, those demonic beasts are so powerful that they are not afraid of life and death at all, and the person next to me before obviously cut them into two pieces, but the remaining body actually knocked him off the city wall together. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out, maybe we'll all die before the reinforcements arrive. ”

"Alas, you're right, I participated in the battle of the beast tide before, and although the monster was violent at that time, it was not like this, and it was not completely afraid of life and death."

"yes, yes."

"Why are you young people so pessimistic? When you come to join the army, you should think that there will be a day when you will die on the battlefield. ”

"We're not afraid of death, but death depends on how we die, and I don't want to be used as a snack by these monsters."

"That's it, that's it, if the two armies fight and die on the battlefield, I don't have anything to say, but it's not good to be treated as a snack."

What is not clear is that because of the siege of the insect swarm, the people in Luoyan City are already panicked at this moment, and some people even wonder if the empire deliberately sent them to death, otherwise how to explain how the insect swarm surrounded them from the rear? You must know that if you want to enter the Sardar Empire, you must go through the Wild Goose City, as for the other way, there is no possibility, even the wild geese cannot fly over, and the Falling Wild Goose City is also named.

The war continues, and the casualties are increasing by the minute, and even the most experienced commander cannot avoid casualties.

"Report! The gate of Xicheng is seriously damaged, and I am afraid that it will not last long. ”

"Report! The enemies of the southern city have ascended to the top of the city. ”

"Report ......"

Countless reports rang out in the command room, and several commanders were already a little anxious, they had already thought of the possible predicament before the battle, but they still underestimated the swarm.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this, even if we can hold Luoyan City, I'm afraid there will be no one out of ten of our soldiers at that time, and ......"

"And what? Say, I will not punish you for anything now. ”

"Yes, General, and the situation is not in our favor at all, although we take turns to take over, but the soldiers are exhausted, Zelos has not stopped attacking since seven days ago, and if this continues, our soldiers may not even have the strength to pick up their weapons."

"How could I not know what you said? But what can be done? We've tried to give the soldiers as much time to rest as possible, but the enemy just won't stop attacking, won't give us time to breathe, I don't know why these bastards don't know how to be tired. ”

"General, now each city gate has different degrees of damage, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid the city gate will be lost."

"Order the gates to be sealed."

"Sealed? General, if we seal the city gates, we won't be able to get out, and reinforcements are coming?"

"Do you think I want that? If we don't seal the gates, I'm afraid we'll have to fight these bugs in the next few nights. ”

"General, it's better to block the damaged city gate, and at least leave a city gate so that reinforcements can enter the city."

"Alas, that's all there is to it, you can do it."

"Yes."

"There's plenty of food and water in the city, right?"

"With the current loss of water and food, it can last at least half a year."

"We must take good care of it, if something goes wrong here, we will have only a dead end."

"Obey orders, general, do your subordinates have a sentence that you don't know whether to say or not?"

"Say, it's all my own here."

"Why didn't we choose to surrender, it's hard for me to imagine that we would be able to win this battle without reinforcements now."

"Do you think I really want to fight to the death?"

"Then why not, the general?"

"If we choose to defend it, we may all be buried here, but of course we still have hope if reinforcements arrive. But if we surrender, we can survive, but what about our families? What happened to them? Will the Empire let them go? All of you here are from commoner backgrounds, and the Empire cannot take the nobles under the knife, so we will definitely be scapegoated once we surrender. ”

"Damn the nobles, it's good that we are here to fight to the death, and with the credit for their excesses, all of them are ours."

"Don't say these words when you go out today, otherwise you will bring yourself to death."

The upper echelons of Luoyan City have been shaken, but they don't dare to surrender because of the obscenity of the Sardar Empire, while on the other side, they are very leisurely commanding the swarm.

Although there were a lot of losses from the swarm in this large-scale attack, the battle loss rate compared to the previous attack on Stone City had dropped significantly, "I didn't expect the loss to be so small, it seems that I am really not suitable to be a commander." ”

"The Lord just hasn't learned how to command battle."

"You don't need to say that, I'm really not interested in commanding, so it's better to simply hand over this matter to Xiaoya and me as a coolie in the future."

(PS: I said I hated that I would be beaten to death on the eleventh holiday?)
