Chapter Twenty-Eight: Abandon the City and Leave
The best medicine for rivals is their common lover. Claudia, Count of Destini 'Woman', was originally excluded from the meeting of the East Gate, but she was really unwilling to be a 'flower' vase. Her home was so ravaged that she could not stand idly by no matter what. She led Catherine through the panicked street market despite the opposition of the 'squire' guards, and went straight to the makeshift command post set up in the middle of the house.
Albert's conflict with his advisor Tarun seems to have risen from personal emotions to politics.This is certainly the result that General Iros wants to see.But it's also far beyond his control.After all, the current enemy is now.If you set yourself on fire because of improper proportion, it will not be worth the loss.He just wants to sow the seeds of mutual suspicion between the two.He doesn't want them to fight right now.
When the young Duke swore to give up his seat to Talon, Claudia arrived, and she heard only a word or two, and immediately 'figured' what was going on, and those who could not interject were tacitly willing to give her the way to travel and the place to stand.
Albert still said sarcastically, "Ah, you're here, that's great, so you don't have to make a big fuss, if you just say a word or just nod your head, you can put an end to it right away.
"Yes, I love him, and he loves me the same."' The Countess did not squirm as one might think, but spoke her mind very boldly.
"Claudia......" Tarun couldn't help but shout.
"Ha, you can call it by its first name, intimate little couple, I bless you." Albert shook his hand and slammed a paperweight in front of him that was used to hold down the battle map.
"Your Excellency, I respect you, I love you the same, but this is such a critical juncture, have you forgotten your greatest responsibility, the city of Birti is hanging by a thread, your father has just died in the emperor, you are playing with the temper of a rich boy here, you will disappoint all those who expect from you."' The Countess reminded loudly.
Albert was silent, staring blankly ahead, as if recalling something.
Feeling both the true love of Claudia and the trust he placed in the young duke, he tried to adjust his mood and said to the crowd: "The city of Bilti will definitely not be able to hold it, and the battle situation on the west 'gate' side is not optimistic. The magical army of Kentan is attacking back and forth.We can't last long.For now.We can only gather all the forces that can fight.Climb over the hills from the southern wall.Wait until we find reliable backup.We can withdraw earlier.We can minimize the suffering of the people earlier.Queen Isabella was obviously captured by the general Raeder.We can't afford to add chips to others.We must make sure we get out."
"You're going to give up the city of Birti." Now it was the turn of the 'female' earl, who was extremely attached to his hometown, to question it.
"Claudia." In order to convince her as much as possible, Tarun didn't care about avoiding suspicion at this time. He called her by his first name and said: "Claudia, there is hope when people live, everything becomes a fantasy when they die, war is not child's play, in the final analysis, it depends on the comparison of strength. We obviously have no way to parry the magic attack of Kentan, rather than send them to death or become a prisoner in vain.
As he spoke, Tarun patted the 'female' earl's shoulder, and the other party's clear eyes could not help but burst into tears.
There was no room for negotiation now.Henry Crawford ordered the remnants to hold the West Gate, and himself came to Albert himself to report the results of the defeat.
The short man who was smiling just now finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and he couldn't help but shout: "Damn, what kind of battle is this, if you want me to say, don't defend any broken city, everyone rush out together, how many can be cut, and it is hundreds of times better than curling up here and waiting to die."
"Do you think that everyone can fight a hundred like you, and not everyone has your two great axes." Adrian on the side said in a rare teasing tone, he and Lecles were both silently comforting the young duke, but they didn't attract anyone's attention at all.
At this time, General Iros volunteered and shouted: "I, as the overseer sent by the Emperor, I am willing to be a palace queen for everyone. You can clean up all kinds of guys as soon as possible, and I will hold out with my Praetorian Guard for another hour or two to attract their attention.
Of course, Tarun had to agree with the general, after all, there was nothing to be humble about it, and everyone split up and began to prepare for the evacuation.
The necromancers under General Iros's command can finally let go of their hands and feet now.The magic of his faction originally gave people a 'gloomy' and terrifying feeling.Usually can't be cast in broad daylight.For fear of incurring all kinds of trouble and pressure.Today's situation is very different.It can be said that the sea is really wide, the sky is high, and the birds can fly.As long as the enemy's attack can be blocked or delayed.All magic can be carried out by unscrupulous means。
With the help of those black 'spirits', the necromancer had already decomposed the corpse materials obtained from Taiping Mountain.His cultivation had reached an extremely high level.He only needed the remains of any part of his body to summon some undead bones that could move freely but had no mind.The more intense the battle scene was, the more people died.The power and range of his spells multiplied.His heart had already established an unpredictable 'touch' connection with hell. The death of a soul around him, the remnant of a corpse, would make his heart throb violently, and the east and west sides of the city of Birti could now be said to be two large cemeteries, especially the west side.
Under the instruction of General Iros, the necromancer used the teleportation magic of the black spirit spirit to indirectly transmit his trick of resurrecting the undead to the big black pit outside the west gate.
You know, the dwarf's skill is too magical, after he saw the charred bones, a thought of sympathy and fear had already secretly risen in his heart. As a commander, of course, he can't 'show it to his face', so he can only deliberately suppress it in his heart, and in fact, those soldiers under his command have already buried this hidden danger in their hearts.
The crumbling bones suddenly stood up, announcing their resurrection with a terrifying appearance.The soldiers of Kentan immediately fell into a panic. They ignored Raoult's repeated reassurances and admonitions, and in an instant they became a dead knot. The only ones who were calm were the dwarven phalanx and the phalanx of the Spell Fire Master who had survived the previous trap.
In fact, the deterrent power of those corpses is far greater than their actual combat effectiveness. After all, their bodies are thin, and they are affected by group spells.
The necromancer did not expect that his hand would be so effective, and he even boasted in front of General Iros that he could defend the city of Bilti on his own.
It's a pity that the strong have their own strong players, and there has never been a shortage of special talents on the side of Kentan.
General Raeder's chief alchemist, John's Hammer, quickly threw out a response that he had inadvertently prepared. Not that he had thought of resurrecting the dead beforehand.
Since the dead can be resurrected, of course, they can be returned to dust.The necromancer's insect carving skill can be easily dissolved by just throwing out a small bottle by the dwarven alchemist.All this thing contains is a colorless, odorless, odorless gas.Only those soulless and thoughtless shells will be immediately restrained.Then it will melt.It will fall to the ground in an instant.It will disintegrate into an incredible pile of dust.
Once the fear of reality was lifted, the soldiers of Kentan regained their lost courage, and General Iros's side had to return to reality, ready to retreat from the South Gate.
Kentan did not intend to besiege the city of Birti. They just wanted to attack the city as soon as possible, because time waits for no one. They wanted a favorable war situation, not to seek anything in one go. As long as they could take the city of Birti as soon as possible, it would be equivalent to giving a strong signal to the entire chaotic Tamborance Empire. It will immediately be able to occupy the commanding heights that respond to all calls.
'Want' to know how the war situation will develop, and see the next time.
