Chapter Thirty-Three: Here Started! Here we go!
"Lord Duke, we have entered the territory of Essis, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach Essis City in half a day. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" The scout in front reported to Allen.
Alan nodded, looking far in the direction of Essis City. After a moment of silence, he ordered: "Guderian! I have appointed you to be the vanguard! Take two thousand rangers and rush back to Essis as fast as you can! Kill the enemy! Make no mistake! ”
"Yes!" Guderian mounted his horse and saluted respectfully. Then he turned his horse and left, and quickly led his two thousand cavalry straight to the city of Essis.
"The whole army is speeding up!"
The red dragon suddenly came to life and snaked across the land.

Ravi sat in the courtyard of Victoria Cathedral, with a thick gauze wrapped around his chest, and his ears were filled with the sound of fighting in the distance, while his eyes were looking at Luna, an elven girl not far away. He has been recuperating here since he came to his senses two days ago. The arrow was just a stray arrow, not very powerful, and after penetrating the outer chain mail, it had already lost its impact power, so it did not penetrate the flesh deeply and did not hurt the internal organs. After two days of recovery, Ravi was able to move freely.
Luna is a typical elven girl, with fair skin, green eyes and hair, and the most characteristic pointed ears. Ravi hadn't spoken to Luna since that meeting. However, he couldn't help but stare at Luna's figure. Maybe it's because I cherish life too much, so I left such a deep impression. He laughed to himself.
"Is that an elf?"
"Looks like so. You see, her ears are indeed pointy. “
Ravi sat quietly in the corner of the courtyard, not saying a word. But suddenly there was a discussion between the two of them.
"The elves are as beautiful as the legend says."
"Be careful! Don't be fooled, I've heard that elves live in forests and live for hundreds of years. Do you know why they live so long? ”
"Why?"
"They suck people's spirit!"
"And they're eating people!"
"No, such a cute girl would eat people? I don't believe it. ”
"Innocent! You see how calm she was when she treated the wounds of those wounded soldiers, she must have seen it many times! And what about helping the wounded, so many people died at their hands, what help did you see there? How skillful they are when they cut human hands, and when they cut human thighs! Do you know? Whenever there is no food in the forest and the elves are famine, they will come out in droves to eat people! ”
"Wow, that's an exaggeration!"
The absurd words came from the listener's ear, and Ravi couldn't help but look over. I saw that the two people who were talking just now were middle-aged men, and one of them was better dressed, obviously with a certain status. The other was dressed as a serf. The one who said that the elves could suck sperm and eat people was the one who was better dressed.
"Humph! Sling the bull! Ravi snorted.
"What to do, I don't know what those adults think. How do you get elves to get close to us humans? The serf-like man said with a look of vigilance, apparently moved.
"Those elves must have confused the adults, you look at the way they look, if I didn't know their nature, I would definitely be confused!"
"What then?"
The better-dressed man glanced left and right, and Ravi quickly pretended to look around. Then the man leaned into the other man's ear and whispered. Because he said it too lightly, he only heard words such as "together", "take", and "kill". But this information alone made Ravi's heart tighten.
After the two finished whispering, the serf-like man nodded to the other, and then quietly left. The rest of the better-dressed man looked around. As if he had found something, he walked quickly to another wounded man who was hanging from his arm. And the wounded man also looked at the elves walking back and forth around him with wary eyes.
Ravi smelled the conspiracy the first time, but just when he wanted to do something. A loud bell interrupted his movements.
Bang Bang Bang!
The rapid ringing of bells resounded throughout the city of Essis. Many people looked in the direction where the bell came from, and their hearts were inexplicably tightened.
Before all this happened, the east gate of Essis was engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
"Hold on! Don't let them rush up! Constantine didn't bother to wipe the blood from his face, and roared hoarsely.
After receiving Guy's order, he quickly led five hundred men to defend the east gate. Chris was also ruthless this time, attacking three doors at once, which meant a decisive battle. Constantine was facing the two thousand motley army that Chris considered to be the scum army at the east gate.
However, although they can't be called an army at all, they also have a taste of being fearless in battle, I don't know if it's because of the temptation of money, or if they really hate Ouranos.
But there is no point in thinking about this at this time. The situation of Constantine was very unoptimistic, and the number of 500 men plus the temporarily recruited militia only had a defensive force of nearly 1,000 men, and it was impossible to achieve effective coverage on the walls of a city one or two kilometers long. In particular, the long-range fire suppression of this thousand people was not at all at all, and they could only rely on falling rocks, boiling oil and other devices to cause some damage to the enemy troops approaching the city wall. But it's also really not efficient.
It didn't take long for the defending soldiers to get tired. Fighting a war is a physically demanding affair, and even a highly trained soldier will not be able to engage for more than an hour. Therefore, many armies have reserves, which are used to replace the main forces, maintain the battle line, and so on. So many times those scorching battles are actually the two sides taking troops and throwing them into the battlefield. Whoever has the most reserves wins.
Constantine watched the battlefield nervously, and whenever a hole appeared, he led someone to fill it himself. Fortunately, these motley armies were inefficient in attacking the city, and often someone attacked the city, but no one answered behind, which gave Constantine a little respite. But even this made Constantine exhausted.
We can't keep it like this anymore! Constantine understood very well that such a defense could not be defended, and the outer walls had to be abandoned. In this way, the battle line can be narrowed and the forces can be concentrated.
Having made up his mind, Constantine quickly brought in a soldier and ordered: "You go and inform General Guy that the east gate is about to be unfortified, and I plan to abandon the outer wall and switch to street fighting." Let General Guy quickly lead the army to retreat, and now he can only rely on the defense of the inner city! ”
The soldiers took the order, and Constantine turned around and continued to fight on the front line. "Everyone, listen up! Quickly rally around me and prepare to retreat! “
