The situation was more urgent than expected, and Viscount Bell suddenly stood up, and was about to give the order to launch a defense, and send reinforcements to the front forts, when a loud alarm bell rang from the window.

Almost all of them immediately walked briskly to the window and looked in the direction of the city walls.

"Lord Viscount, there is a kobold army outside the city."

An officer burst into the office without even knocking on the door, but no one had the heart to accuse him.

Viscount Bell hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" Are there any siege engines? ”

"The preliminary estimate is that there are about 2,000 people, and they did not carry large siege equipment." The officer replied.

OK...... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and did not carry large siege equipment, which means that the city will not be attacked immediately, and they still have time to calmly arrange. However, this is a mountainous area, and even if the nearby vegetation is destroyed, there is still no question about making some rudimentary equipment.

"Let's go to the city walls." Viscount Bell beckoned to the lord of Joxiu, and with a few officers, under the protection of the guards, ran towards the city wall.

On a mountain peak quite far from Blanca, the battle was going on.

Dietrie, the commander of the city defense of Blanca City, is leading his warriors to fight against the Hulk forces in the mountains. Although they have an advantage in terrain, they are far inferior to the enemy in terms of combat ability and numbers.

Maybe this time I'm really going to die!

Ditri regretted it a little. The newly appointed commander repeatedly told him not to attack lightly, but he fought for merit. It's also for Eden. Bell took eye medicine, and after making a report, he pursued with the elite of the city defense army...... Who would have thought that those stupid big guys would know how to lure the enemy deeper?

Looking at the dense enemy at the bottom of the mountain, Dietrie wanted to cry without tears. And what made him most depressed was that even if those Hulks accepted prisoners, they were mostly used as food reserves, and they would never dare to surrender. If it weren't for the fact that they were condescending at this time, holding many heavy crossbows in their hands, those Hulks would have rushed up long ago.

"Sir, our crossbow bolts are depleting too quickly." An officer ran over in fear to report.

"Then shorten the line of defense a little bit. A flawed line of defense. And not exactly the same! Ditri roared.

Seeing that the officer was immediately on his way to carry out his order, the commander turned his head and said to his deputy, "Let's go up there and have a look." "Sir, when will our reinforcements arrive?" The deputy asked.

Dietrie's footsteps paused slightly. Then he walked on: "Do you think we'll have reinforcements?" ”

"So, what then?" The deputy's face was a little panicked.

"It's just a fight to the death." Ditri said in a low voice.

……

City Blanca.

Eden. Bell had just climbed the city wall with the others. A herald came panting and reported: "Your Excellency. News came from the Frontier Fortress that the fortress was completely surrounded by the Hulk and could fall at any time. ”

For this news. Eden. Bell wasn't surprised.

"Who's in charge of the defense now?" Eden. Bell asked.

"It's the Fortress Commander." The herald replied quickly.

"Doesn't he know that there isn't enough room for troops to maneuver?" Eden. Bell frowned.

"The message from His Excellency the Commander said that he was well aware of the limitations of the forward fortress, and that he had pulled most of his troops out of the fortress and let those troops into the nearby mountains. However, he still left 3,000 men and horses to guard the forward fortress with him, because he was very worried that if he pulled all the men out of the forward fortress at this moment, perhaps before he could enter the position and organize the defensive line, he would be attacked by the enemy, which would be tantamount to death. ”

Hearing this report, Eden. Bell was finally relieved, and this was also the way he had come up with it, and as a last resort, he pulled his troops into the mountains, which proved to be the only way to minimize the losses.

"Who is the commander of that unit?" Eden. Bell asked.

"I didn't have time to tell you just now that His Excellency Levon was given command of the force that entered the mountains, and this was the unanimous opinion of all the officers." The officer said.

Hearing this, Eden. Bell's expression was agitated, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily. He subconsciously looked at the mountains in the distance, like the young man who could see the mountains inside.

In the middle of another mountain, an army was busy among the ravines that had been dug up by the miners and abandoned for a long time, but now they were of great use.

Numerous caverns are strung together on both sides of the ravine, and the exits of the caves are built into rudimentary fortresses, as well as isolated fortresses built in the abrupt and towering places of each mountain.

And at this moment, those warriors are trying their best to build this strange line of defense to make it safer. This unit, just a teenager, would have been surprised if Hathaway had been here. Bell, her half-brother.

Although he is not very old, his demeanor is generous, and he has a bit of Hathaway's style, and his expression is full of confidence.

"Order the squad leaders, I'll give them half a magic bill, build their positions, and in half an hour, I'll attack the Hulk who is attacking the forward fortress.

"I don't want to see the soldiers unprepared after the attacking force has brought in the enemy." Levon ordered.

"Is this against the wishes of the Commander, who would have preferred the troops to suffer as few losses as possible than to destroy a considerable number of enemies?" An officer next to him reminded.

"I know what you think, and I know what others mean, but I can tell you one thing, Lord Commander can choose to sacrifice himself, but we can't choose to abandon our comrades."

Levin said, "It's less than half a magic hour, so please hurry up and get to work." ”

Walking through the narrow ravines and caves, Levon felt an inexplicable pressure.

The Northwest Battlefield made him understand the meaning of the existence of soldiers, especially Hathaway's glittering appearance, which deeply stimulated him. After coming back, he first practiced martial arts hard, and after the outbreak of the war with the underground race, he ignored his mother's opposition, and rushed to the front line with a sword again.

Conventional battles with the Hulk with swords and armor are impossible to win, and only those who have an underground race can fight them with what they don't have...... This is one of the reasons why Levon envied the Cordillera collar the most.

However, after such a long battle, they have summed up the way to understand the confrontation.

Similar to a simple fortress or city, this isolated defense is difficult to resist those creatures with thick skin and thick flesh, and they are not afraid of death, but this undulating form of defense that can take care of each other can be very effective in protecting oneself and destroying the enemy.
