Broken Mountain Fortress, late at night.

With a surprise attack that turned from lurking to chaotic warfare, the tens of thousands of elven armies entrenched outside the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain not only did not have any idea of stopping, but instead made mistakes and set out to do so.

"Climb the walls, take down the towers, and turn the fortress of Broken Mountain into the territory of His Majesty the Eagle King—for the sake of the survival of the Azores, advance ——!"

"Forward ——————!!!!"

The thunderous shouts turned the war into a carnival.

There was no charge of hussars roaring with iron horses, no rain of fire falling from the sky like meteors, all the earthen walls were reduced to ruins by crossbows and cannons, and all the ravines were filled with corpses......

In the glacial wasteland beyond the walls of Broken Mountain, nothing can stop the elves' attack!

The only thing that restricts them is the walls of the Broken Mountain Fortress.

Of course, the Azorean elves who had made the expedition were unlikely to carry any siege weapons, but this was not a problem at all, the elven warriors with great perseverance could even climb the ice-covered walls with their bare hands, and thousands of elven warriors climbed the outermost walls of the Broken Mountain fortress like ants at the sound of orders.

At this time, the defenders of the Broken Mountain had already been in chaos under the surprise attack of the female elf warrior Alessandra, and all the tower sentinels died under the Azorean long sword, but it was not until the first group of elven warriors climbed the city wall that someone finally reacted and organized a defense in the chaos.

But alas, it was already too late.

The moment they climbed the wall, the elven warriors with long knives in their mouths burst into the battlements like a violent wind, giving the defenders no time to organize their defenses.

A quarter of an hour later, as an Iron Crown banner fell, the outermost defense line of the Broken Mountain Fortress had fallen!

In the face of the almost life-and-death attack of the Azorean elves, the Imperial defenders, who had barely maintained their morale, retreated like various battlements and corridors, organizing temporary cover lines in narrow passages to block the enemy's attack layer by layer.

This is also possible because of the special design of the Broken Mountain Fortress - there may be only such a fortress in this world, and it was expected that it might fall at the beginning of construction, so between each section of the city wall and the corridor, it can be sealed with falling iron fences or stone walls.

For this reason, after judging that the enemy was planning to attack at all costs, the deputy commander of the fortress, Drexis, immediately gave the order to abandon the outer parapet, and every hundred-man detachment that withdrew from the defensive position must seal the passage where it was located when leaving.

Relying on intermittent retreats and continuous abandonment of positions, the defenders of Broken Boundary Mountain finally stopped the offensive momentum of the Azorean elves, and controlled the enemy's attack range within the outer city walls, and could no longer infiltrate inward.

The Azorean elves, who occupied the outer parapet, immediately discovered that all the fortifications and facilities under their control were one-way, and could not be used to continue the attack into the interior of the fortress.

But the price to pay was just as heavy - at least half of the hundreds of men were blocked by the abandoned corridors because they had no time to retreat, or they were trapped in the corridors with the attacking Azorean elves when they lowered the gates, or they were broken through by the elves before they had time to lower the gates.

"Believers of the Holy Cross, take your courage!"

In front of the wall of the Broken Mountain Fortress, the Knights of the Oath with their swords held high stood in front of the shield wall, acting as flag bearers and pre-battle commanders.

"Godless wickeds have pounced upon you, and the gates of the kingdom of the Holy Cross have been opened to you—warriors who fight side by side tonight, you will not be afraid of anything, for you are fighting for the Empire, and even more for the faith!"

"If you do not cower, you will go to Hell, and those who die in battle will ascend to Heaven!"

"In the name of the Holy Cross, we will stick to this and fight the devil to the death!"

"——————!!!! in the name of the Holy Cross"

The uniform shouts made the eyes of the defenders of Broken Boundary Mountain become much more determined again.

Although most of the Knights of the Oath are not good officers, as the "sword-carrying missionaries" of the Holy Cross Church, their figures who are not afraid of death and stand up from pools of blood again and again can greatly boost the morale of the warriors, and call on everyone to persist in fighting with the banner of faith.

Compared to the fanatical defenders of the Broken Mountains, the Azorean elves who stormed the walls were much more "cold".

Staring at the new-armor Oath Knight opposite, the wounded Grand Adjutant of the Overseer, Alexandra, gasped under her breath, her hot throat mixed with tears, sweat, and blood, coming in and out with the exhaled heat.

The long knife full of broken knives was raised at his right arm, and viscous plasma continued to drip from the center of the blade, falling on the bluestone slab, turning into solidified "blood ice".

"Kill ——!"

With the hoarse roars of both sides, the elven warriors wielding long knives rushed to the Knights of Oath who held high the battle flag, and the legionnaires who formed the shield wall attacked.

There was no formation, and there was no angry shouting from the commander, but these excessively "silent" elven warriors were like a turbulent "torrent of blades", cutting bright colors in front of the "black city wall".

"Poof!"

The cold long knife pierced through the gap between the shields and through the soldier's throat, and with a swing of the blade, the head flew up, but before the excited elven warrior could break through the shield wall, the halberds on either side were already attacking him.

There were two more headless corpses on the middle line of the fight, and they were forced out of the defenders' line by the shield wall in the back row.

In the next second, the two corpses were covered by the footsteps of each other's fighting and the blood spraying out, the shield and the body collided, and the sound of long knives and halberds clashing into each other.

The fanatical legionnaires clung to the shield wall, their halberds constantly slashing and stabbing, and almost every one of them put their shields on the backs of the previous ones, sharing the pressure of the charge with the entire battle line.

The silent Azorean elven warriors are more like silent wolves, desperately tearing apart the seemingly impregnable shield walls of the legionnaires in various ways, trying to break through with their flesh and blood again and again.

The narrow terrain between the city walls and the corridor can be both advantageous and disadvantageous for each other, and although the defenders of Broken Mountain can block a certain battle line with very few troops, it also means that once defeated, the entire battle line will immediately become full of holes;

The elven warriors, who are limited by the battlefield and have limited mobility and space, can also use each other's cooperation to complete the breakthrough, because the terrain is narrow, and the enemy is a shield wall composed of large shields, the range of attacks is also very limited.

While an ordinary Azorean longsword cannot tear through iron armor, it can smash shields and tear gaps in the shield walls that cannot be closed, making the black walls unsafe.

However, with the help of the terrain and the advantage of the queue, the legionnaires were able to slow down the elves' attack and confine the battlefield to the junction of the outer wall and the second parapet.

The brutal battle scene is also staged at this connection.

Regardless of life and death, the elven warriors charged again and again in the narrow terrain, and were blocked by the shield wall again and again, leaving thin corpses, and the seemingly solid shield wall was also torn open one after another, and it was only after paying a considerable amount of casualties that the empty space was barely sealed.

And in this sacrifice of life, the defenders of Boundary Mountain, who could not withstand the heavy casualties, had to shrink their positions, and retreat to a deeper narrow front after leaving behind the corpses in one place, so as to ensure that the queue would not collapse.

The elven warriors who saw the fighter plane did not hesitate, and immediately stepped over the corpses everywhere and continued to attack the retreating defenders of Broken Boundary Mountain.

But at that moment, the legionnaires who formed the shields suddenly crouched down en masse, leaning their shields on their shoulders, revealing the crossbowmen in the back row, reloading and aiming.

"Fifteen Steps, Shoot ——!"

The roaring black shadows and the sound of breaking the air struck the elven warriors who had no cover, and suddenly the charging team fell like wheat.

"Ten Steps, Shoot ——!"

The crossbowmen who fell on one knee threw down their crossbows and picked up their shields and swords, and the Boi hussars standing at the back of the shield wall raised their bows and fired wildly at the elven warriors who showed no intention of retreating.

Unsightly shadows scurried through the narrow passages - the hussars' short bows were much less powerful than heavy crossbows, and could hardly even penetrate the enemy's body like crossbow arrows, but the sharp wolf's tooth arrows could tear open wounds, and even pierce into the flesh and make it difficult to pull out, constantly bleeding the enemy.

More and more samurai fell, but none of them retreated, and none of them flinched, and they continued to attack in silence, as if any more shouting was a waste of killing strength.

Five-step ......

"The Boi, for the sake of Archduke Salica, tore them ——!"

With a bloodthirsty roar, the hussars who threw down their short bows raised their sabers and formed a "wedge-shaped formation" of cavalry charges, and pounced head-on on the elven warriors who were rushing head-on.

Bloodsplatter!

Unlike the legionnaires who excelled in front-line combat, the warriors of Boi were as adept at solo and chaotic group battles as the elven warriors, and knew how to defend themselves with nimble pace and speed;

The sabers, axes, and daggers in their hands were all as good melee weapons as the Azorean longswords, at least for flesh-and-blood elves and humans, there was no essential difference between the two when they were slashed into their bodies.

"Followers of the Holy Cross, charge ——!"

Almost as soon as the Boi hussars had finished their charge, the legionnaires who had held the line rushed into the field at the same time, covering the hussars in the scuffle with their long-spiked halberds and shield walls.

Such a tacit cooperation of "infantry and cavalry coordination" finally repelled the momentum of the elven warriors' charge, and regained a little room for counterattack, limiting the battlefield to the same place at all times, so that the elves could not advance an inch.

"Bell ——!"

The moment the flames burst out, the mangled long knife collided violently with the knight's heavy sword.

"In the name of the Holy Cross, you wicked who do not believe in God, go to hell!"

The knight of the oath wielding the great sword glared angrily at the elven female warrior, and the hands clenching the hilt of the sword continued to increase the strength: "I pray that the Holy Cross can give you the most just judgment!"

With trembling arms, Alexandra bit her lower lip and raised her long knife horizontally, and almost as soon as the greatsword fell, an invisible arrow flew towards the Knight's chest.

The way of the samurai, guerrilla arrows!

"Poof!"

In the next second, a flower of blood bloomed on the chest of the Oath Knight, and the burly body shuddered suddenly, and he fell to one knee, and the great sword that had not yet fallen fell vertically.

Now, die!

"Bell ——!"

The abruptly raised arm guard stopped the blade that was slashing at the skull, and the sharp blade even tore through the armor, digging deep into the flesh and stuck on the arm bone.

But in this way, it is equivalent to taking away the blade of the elven female warrior!

"Guardians of the doctrine of the Holy Cross, we, as the shield of defense... You won't easily fall down because of the pain of flesh and blood!"

The bloodied Knight of the Oath slowly got up and looked down at the iron-faced elven warrior: "Before banishing you godless villains to hell, I... Death will never be embraced. ”

"Even if you are cut by a thousand knives and washed with blood, you will continue to fight! Even if you fall into hell, you will get up again and continue to stand!"

Alexandra, who had lost her weapon, looked at the long knife that had been taken away, and her expression was extremely incomprehensible.

And that's when ......

"Boom ——————————!!!!"

There was a sudden loud bang coming from the direction of the outer parapet, and all the people standing on the wall trembled!

Immediately afterward, the elves and the defenders of the Broken Boundary Mountain, with different expressions, almost unanimously turned their eyes to the direction where the roar came from.

Could it be that this voice has been ...... at the city gate?

........................

"Won the ——!"

The elven warrior standing surrounded by countless pennants looked excitedly at the open gate of the Broken Mountain Fortress in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

Five days... No, it should be ten days!

From the first bloody battle with the defenders of the Broken Mountain Fortress, the bloody battle of desperation to the present... For five whole days... Finally......

It's ours!

The cold wind howled in the wilderness, rolling up the sound of "whining", so that the elven warrior couldn't help but look back at his lieutenant: "Did you hear the voice just now?"

"I hear you. The guard replied respectfully, "It's the sound of the wind." ”

"No, that's the horn of victory!" the elven warrior snapped with an excited expression, "It's the cry of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, it's this desolate ice field that tells us that it's time to take this fortress!"

The guard immediately nodded yes.

"Order the whole army, everyone regardless of the front and rear teams, regardless of status, everyone immediately launched a surprise attack on the Broken Mountain Fortress, launched a full-scale attack, and all enemies will be killed!"

"Do not pursue the fleeing enemy, do not loot the warehouses and supplies in the fortress, and annihilate all the enemies who are still resisting—even if it is the emperor of the empire who escapes, do not chase and kill, let him run for his life like a reservoir dog!"

"Tonight, take the city ——!"
