Chapter 164: The Wind and the Clouds

"There will be ...... What the? ”

Angus's pupils contracted suddenly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since yesterday, Angus has felt that this war will end in the tragedy of his side, after all, the advantage of the other side is huge enough, and his own reinforcements have not yet arrived...... It really didn't show him any signs of winning.

Morton has not said a word at all in ordinary times except for a few necessary words in the past few days, frowning every day, and it is estimated that he is not in a good mood, and Angus did not go up to touch his moldy head, and he honestly led his troops to fight back the attack of Sunderland.

And these attacks are more and more fierce each time.

Sunderland's offense changes every time, every time it can grasp the key points of the defensive line, although every attack has not been completely successful, but every time it can be exchanged for a larger result with less losses, and it can also understand its own defense line with three points, and grasp the key points in the next attack, and every time you can make your own side of the mess.

Although it has not been able to break through in two days, it is obvious that even if the construction machinery does not arrive, it will be difficult for the defense line of the Ice and Snow Goddess Fortress to hold.

Anyway, although it didn't show it on the surface, in the heart it was almost already defined as a stronghold that would definitely be lost, and all that could be done was to delay as long as possible, at least to get reinforcements closer, at least not to let them attack too smoothly after the fortress was breached, and also, if necessary, destroy the fortress yourself if necessary.

As a trap of the size of a fortress, if it explodes, it will be enough for the Sunderland army to drink a pot.

In short, if you can't keep it, you can't keep it after all, and you can only delay it for a while if you consume it to death here, I'm afraid it's better to retreat at the right time, give up here, and save some more living power, and maybe there will be a chance to reverse in the future.

Of course, this opportunity depends on the little fox Carlil. Andris's - whoever she really is.

So although the battle situation has been very tense these days, Angus still takes the time to think about Carlil's movements from time to time, asks about the situation from the guards and Qingci in between the attack, and considers whether he will send her back lunch himself, and then take the opportunity to chat a few words, ask about the progress, and say a few words of greetings.

It's just that Sunderland has never given him this opportunity.

Angus himself was the supreme commander, and Sunderland didn't leave him much room to breathe in the end, let alone leave a chance for him to find time to do such a chic thing as chatting with his sister, and he came up to chase and beat him whenever he had a gap, forcing Angus to stay on it all the time, always vigilant, until noon yesterday.

Yesterday morning's attack left many of the dead soldiers behind in Sunderland, which was the fiercest battle in Sunderland in a few days, and Angus felt that the other side was a little desperate, and he had to fight his way out of the city wall no matter what, and he would not leave any way for himself to retreat as soon as he launched an attack.

This is a situation that has not been seen in a few days, according to the rhythm of these two days, it should not suddenly develop to this point, the only possibility should be that the second army of the other party is already relatively difficult to stay, can't wait for a long night and dreams, no matter what, the fortress must be breached, otherwise I'm sorry for the damage that has been done before.

After all, it is really difficult for a team that does not have enough cold protection measures to continue to fight in such bad weather, even with the help of magicians, it can only be a drop in the bucket, and it will not change much of the status quo.

It wasn't until noon that the first snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Angus suddenly felt that his life should not be extinguished, no matter what, this time the battle was held on his side, and before the snow stopped, the other party would not have such a fierce attack.

Because it is now more difficult for the people of Sunderland to fight in the snow than they are satisfied with their supplies, it is a bit of a self-defeating situation in comparison.

Angus stood alone at the head of the city, braving the snow to look at the view in front of the fortress, and the heavy snow reduced the visibility to the lowest level since the day, so that he could not see the retreating troops of the other side while standing on the top of the city. I could only see those who had just died under the city walls, their bodies slowly buried by the snow, no matter which side of the military uniform they were wearing, no matter whose blood they were in, they were little by little covered by the white snowflakes.

However, Angus didn't let go of this breath for long, and he heard a sound of breaking the air from a distance, and in an instant, a huge black crossbow arrow hit the bottom of his city wall, and the sound of the arrow colliding with the stone wall was as loud as an explosion, and the arrow smashed the outermost stone wall, and by the way, a string of blood was hung from the corpse on the ground and sprinkled on the wall.

Siege weapons are coming......

Angus was in a cold sweat, if it weren't for the fact that the other party couldn't see the target at all now, this arrow would not be as simple as shooting at the base of the wall, just find a weak place on the front, and make a few more hits, and the frontal defense of the fortress may not be able to stop it.

This is just a test of the knife, they will wait for the snow to stop and lead their troops to launch a general attack on the fortress, and then I am afraid that it will really be over.

Angus sighed, realizing that he was not as nervous as he had imagined, and looked at the crossbow bolts below in the heavy snow, and imagined the weapons flying all over the sky and smashing against the fortress, and felt that he could see it very openly. He paced a few steps up the walls, and he walked back to the fortress with his hands behind his back, it was time to go down and see Kaliel, and perhaps this was the last chance for everyone to be ready for everything possible.

So after the meeting, it was not until the next day when he stood on the wall with Kahliel, watching the snow gradually stop, the morning sun gradually revealed, and the sun gradually rose behind the mountains, Angus was almost ready for the last plan.

Anyway, if she hasn't left yet, you'll have to bring her back anyway, and I'll do it here...... Best effort.

Angus told Kiyo behind his back, and while he knew he would do the same thing without telling him about it—because of the contract he had signed with Kahlier, Kiyoshi would do it—but if he had specifically instructed him, it would be as if he had done less of what he was supposed to do.

When he said the last half of the sentence, Angus wanted to say it as "last effort" for a moment, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that something was not good, and changed the words to "the maximum".

Angus didn't know if Carlil was standing at the head of the wall at this time, if he could miraculously come up with some strategy to block this attack, otherwise, it didn't make sense to let her stay here now, it was better to evacuate early, and it was better to be safe than anything else.

But after a few words of conversation, Angus saw a scene that seemed like magic, and the army already stationed in the distance moved, but instead of attacking the fortress as everyone imagined, the defense line gradually shrank back.

"It's ...... What the? ”

Angus couldn't even turn around for a moment, not understanding what was happening, and he even wondered if Carlil had done something he hadn't seen - but what kind of hands and feet could have such an effect?

"We won't lose, the fortress won't fall, the war won't be lost—"

Because I'm a person with the aura of the protagonist!

Kahlil said the first half of the sentence out loud with some excitement, and then suffocated the second half of the sentence back into her stomach, which reminded her of the novels she used to read, to be windy and rainy, as soon as she showed her face, the little brother would stick it upside down, and the girl who didn't show her face was upside down, and today finally let her experience the reversal like the protagonist's aura.

"What's that...... What's the matter? ”

Angus tried to see the situation in the distance, but the soft sunlight of the sun could only make Angus faintly understand, completely unaware of what was actually happening.

Kahlil ignored him, but leaned her hands on the wall, leaning out and watching the development in the distance excitedly, oblivious to the movement next to her.

Slowly, Sunderland's shrinking line pushed back forward, and the armored soldiers moved two more minutes closer to the fortress, and even the reflections on the edges and corners of the armor could be seen in the distance.

But the soldiers were facing away from the fortress, facing in the direction of their rear, and gradually approaching the fortress in a slow retreat, not so much attacking as even defending.

"Ready? My soldiers ......"

Carlil whispered happily, and only Angus vaguely heard what Carlil had said.

“…… What did you say? Angus asked subconsciously.

"I said, let's get our people, get ready to kill out, everyone, all the troops, all, all, we have resisted these days, and it is finally time for a counterattack!"

Kahlil said loudly, her voice trembling with excitement in the cold wind.

There is chaos in the direction of Sunderland!

The retreating, fleeing, shouting, and garrisoning soldiers were mixed together, out of order, and the whole team only knew a little bit like a retreat from the direction of the fortress, and the left and right sides were blocked by the distant moats, as if there was only one strong retreat. The deployed heavy crossbows, catapults, and all sorts of large machinery were put away again, and in the confusion they were barely pulled backwards, and in the distance they were in a mess, like a wooden fence, holding a part of the Sunderland troops between themselves and the fortress.

"What's the matter...... In attacking them...... And beat them to the point where they were powerless. Angus gasped. The first reaction was that if this force attacked the fortress, it would be too late to flee by now.

"Don't worry...... Carlil said with a smile, but the smile was a little cruel, as if she had avenged Sunderland, and she was happy with hatred.

"That's it, our people"

Sunderland was quickly pushed back by a distance of nearly a hundred meters, and now Karil could even see the opponent's armor and coat of arms on the city wall, and he saw that he had retreated little by little, and with it, there was an imposing shouting of killing.

A Legion......

Forcefully broke through the two forces of Sunderland, crushed from the rear in unison, and crushed Sunderland's army, and even retreated in the direction of the fortress step by step!

"Let's go......" Karil said, turning her head and smiling at Angus.

Angus gave the order to attack the troops in a somewhat distracted manner, the gates of the fortress were slowly lowered, and all the troops were ready to attack.

"Don't let them all take their heads, let's harvest some of the last of these dregs of Sunderland!"

Kahlil shouted vigorously into the distance, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the shouts of killing and the sound of swords.

The defensive line, composed of siege weapons and chaotic soldiers, was torn open by the troops attacking from afar, like a flood bursting the embankment, and a group of armored cavalry directly broke the last line of defense.

The leader pulled up his horse and jumped out from behind the fence pulled up by the heavy crossbow, and rushed into the crowd like a meteor, and the moment he landed, the heavy sword took away several Sunderland soldiers on one side.

It's as easy as slicing tofu!

The Ice Goddess Fortress was fully opened, and the remaining warriors poured out, and the cavalry from afar slaughtered all the way, leading a group of belated heavy knights to crush all the resistance from the rear! Both sides simultaneously encircled the last of Sunderland's troops in front of the fortress.

Destroying the last enemy.

The Knights and the Hoplites gradually stopped, and the soldiers of Skaloa gradually shrank back, reforming in front of the fortress to face the Knights and the Hoplites.

The knight in the lead took the reins and walked slowly towards the main entrance of the fortress, and behind him a man dressed in cloth also rode his horse and slowly followed him, and the two of them stepped forward, forcing the soldiers of Skaloa to make a gap in the back, forming a semicircular open space for the two to stand in.

The leading knight looked up and looked at Kahlil from afar.

But his heavy helmet left only a gap in his vision, and Karil couldn't see him at all.

But at this time, you don't need to look to know who the other party is, Kaliel just stood at the head of the city, looking at him excitedly.

The knight slowly put away his heavy sword, got off his horse, and put his right hand into a fist on his chest from a distance in front of Karil: "Jasman. Keliff"

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee in Karil's direction:

"Commonly known as Matthew...... That's all...... Loyal to you on behalf of all members of the Immortal Flower Mercenary Regiment: Karil. Andris - I would like to follow in your footsteps from now on! ”

By his movements, the old man behind him, and even all the knights behind him, dismounted and knelt down on one knee in the same direction. (To be continued.) )
