"Boom ——————!!!!"

The deafening roar, mixed with the trampling sound of countless iron boots, poured out from one city gate after another like a tide, poured into the cloud peak city, and pounced unstoppably on the rebels who had been fighting all day.

In the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy from behind, and the rebels who were attacked by both inside and outside the city at the same time, the front collapsed in an instant—the small remnants of each other, the chaotic fire, the loss of command... So that when they face the uniform and overwhelming Northern coalition forces, the vulnerable ones are more like bandits and refugees.

Dressed in the same armor, using the same weapons, receiving the same queue... Just because one of them lost its command and fought on its own, it showed a world of difference in combat effectiveness.

Because the army in Yunfeng City almost destroyed all the defensive facilities of the city wall defense line when they retreated, and almost all the rebels poured into the city, the northern city-state alliance army of the Yunling Kingdom was almost unstoppable when they broke through the defense line, and they were unstoppable.

The rebels could never have dreamed that the defensive line they had breached with great difficulty and heavy casualties, and the opening of the offensive route, would now allow the Northern Coalition to attack directly into the city without much effort, and launch a fierce attack on their flanks and backs.

How easy it was for them to break through the gates, how painful the "backstabbing" they suffered at the moment, and they had no strength to fight back.

All that can be done is to run for their lives, scatter birds and beasts, and feel the "novel experience" of being torn apart by the front, the shield wall being defeated, and the robes falling one after another in the rain of arrows like locusts.

In a completely one-sided rout, the rapidly crumbling rebels had no room to retreat – either slaughtered in pieces by the Northern coalition forces behind them, or wiped out along with the defenders of the city.

In order to avoid the enemy behind them, they can only use more fierce offensives, launching round after round of suicidal attacks on the barricades in the city, fighting for rudimentary protective facilities;

And in the end, only in front of the crossbow arrows behind the barricades, they fell in rows like cutting wheat......

In the thick smoke and flames in the sky, on both sides of the barricade, the attacking and defensive sides were completely numb in the endless fighting, just repeating their movements mechanically.

The bones of the robes on the ground had been trampled in turn during the attack and retreat, and they were so rotten that they could not even see their shape.

On the other hand, after breaking through the gates and completely crushing the last insignificant resistance of the rebels, the dwarven legions of the Northern Coalition did not disperse and poured into the streets of the city, but began to stabilize the line and make way for the troops in the rear.

It was only a few minutes later, when one small ballista after another was pushed in from outside the city gates, that the defeated rebels finally reacted - they were trying to destroy the streets!

"Boom ————!!!!"

Amid the roar, the rebels and the defenders of the city watched as the streets on the outskirts were burned, destroyed, and razed to the ground......

The northern coalition forces that followed closely behind formed a uniform shield wall, and slowly moved forward with the sound of heavy and chaotic iron boots, approaching step by step, like a moving city wall.

In the face of the Northern Coalition Army, which has maintained an intact structure from beginning to end, whether it is the outnumbered rebel army or the starry barricades that Igor is proud of, they are completely helpless at this moment, and they don't even have the strength to resist.

It was an unreasonable army, with no interest in loot or cities, and no concern that this tactic of "cutting off the offspring" would turn the entire cloud peak into a ruined battlefield, approaching step by step, mechanically and efficiently slaughtering all enemies who tried to resist.

The few remaining rebels, who were able to maintain the formation, were powerless to launch a final counterattack, but the result was only a futile suicide - the vast majority fell under the rain of arrows and ballistas before they could make contact with the shield wall.

One after another, the fallen warriors, as if foreshadowing their fate, fell silently on the battlefield swept by the rain of arrows.

Before you know it, the sounds of roars and shouts are becoming more and more sparse, and the uniform shield wall becomes a simple and mechanical propulsion, like the arrows of locusts, and the killing of the lone and the fleeing, to the point of thinning to the point of almost nothing.

After the last resistance was suppressed, the dwarven warriors of the Northern Alliance did not rush into the city, stopped in front of the barricade defenses, and began to start a second round of encirclement and suppression of the fleeing rebels from front to back.

But this does not mean that the defenders were ignored by them.

In just a few quarters of an hour, half of the cloud peaks seemed to be completely quiet, and the dwarven warriors who had finished clearing gradually began to return to their ranks and join the shield walls on the front line.

After a brief "stalemate" with the barricades of the defenders of Yunfeng for a while, the sound of heavy iron boots sounded again, and they approached indifferently step by step.

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

Clutching the battle axe in his hand, the dwarf Igor's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, unable to believe what he saw in front of him, let alone the person he saw.

"Actually... Is that you?"

Struggling to control his impulses, Igor gritted his teeth and growled.

"That's right... In your words, it's me. ”

Cesar Mihailo, the former supreme leader of the Silver Helmet Mountain, a traitor to the Yunling Kingdom, the first dwarf to bow to the Duke of Byrne, said indifferently and disdainfully:

"You read that right, the coalition army that commanded the entire northern city-state turned the tide at the most dangerous juncture of Yunfeng, killed all the traitors, left no trouble, and guarded the people of the Yunling Kingdom... It's actually me. ”

"And not you, the glorious Most High Majesty, with a crown on his head. ”

"By the way, if you want to know, I can also tell you very clearly - yes, I am under the orders of the Duke of Byrne, and this army is also under the name of the Mihailo family and the Silverhelm Mountain, and this army can only be assembled with the financial resources of the Duchy of Byrne, and you are about to be completely ...... by the rebels."

"Shut ——! up"

With a roar, the dwarf Igor's expression was complicated to the extreme: "You traitors, traitors who have turned their backs on the glory of the people of Yunling, shameless reptiles!"

"Turning the tide of the tide... Is it true that a group of slaves who work for the Byrnes are also qualified to say such outrageous words?!"

"Or have you long forgotten that the reason why this rebellion began, and why it became the way it is now, is because you Silverhelm Mountain is overly greedy, trying to gain the same status as Cloud Peak?"

"Cesar Mihailo... Do you dare to be more shameless?!"

Facing the resentful and angry "Supreme King" Igor, the dwarf Mihailo's eyes were only indifferent and endlessly cold.

"Shameless, where is the shameless?" the dwarf Mihailo raised his gaze, and his tone was very disapproving: "I am a loyal courtier of the Duke of Byrne, and I dutifully carry out the dutiful orders of the duke, what is at fault?"

"What's more, without the help of the Duke, I don't know how long this civil war will last - what is wrong with ending the civil war and restoring peace?"

"But you are a citizen of Yunling, a traitor——!"

Igor clenched his battle axe, his voice trembling: "You are a proud Yunling person, you should unconditionally obey the orders of the Supreme King, instead of becoming someone else's lackey!"

"Your pride, your glory, your tradition...... You've discarded them and used them to flatter your master, haven't you?!"

Waiting coldly for Igor to finish speaking, the squinting dwarf Mihailo paced, step by step towards His Majesty the Supreme King, who was protected by the dwarven guards.

There was a dead silence.

The warriors of the Northern Coalition set up their crossbows behind the shield wall, and the defenders of Cloud Peak pressed their right hands to their waists, and the atmosphere dropped below freezing point as the breathing became heavier.

"Forget traditions, abandon pride, throw away glory... These. The dwarf Mihailo spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty the Supreme King, in the entire Yunling Kingdom, you are the least qualified to say this. ”

"...... you?!"

"It's you——!" Mihailo broke off angrily:

"It's you who provoked the conflict between Byrne and the Yunling Kingdom!"

"With senseless pride, you are the one who refuses aid and negotiation!"

"With the supplies of aid and the army in your hands, it is you who controls the civil war to overthrow the Supreme King!"

"You bastard who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, so that the Yunling Kingdom has lost the last chance to form an alliance with Byrne on an equal footing, and has to accept the other party's handouts in humiliation, so as not to ruin the country!"

"Say we're traitors, and you yourself unscrupulously usurped the supplies given by the Byrnes, confirming that the rest of the Yunling city-states are not eligible to trade with Byrne on an equal footing, right?"

The dwarf Mihailo showed a cold sarcasm on his face, looking at Igor, the "Supreme King" who was more and more annoyed and angry, but remained silent:

"Do you know what a fool looks like - it's because only you are smart in the world, and everyone else is a fool. ”

"Do you think that as long as the civil war continues, you will continue to obtain supplies from Byrne, and at the same time consume the power of the south? Yes, your goal has been achieved, but you have also made the northern city-states completely lose respect and trust for Cloud Peak!"

"Look at these brave people of Yunling behind me—three years ago, they could have rushed into the Byrne military camp for you, for the sake of the peak of the clouds, and cut off my head for you, but now?"

"Gather your army, open the way, take orders from the Duke of Byrne and the commander of Silverhelm Mountain, march to the peak of the clouds, all this... Without much effort, for they have become so disappointed in you, in the Cloud Peak, and in your Serviera Stouffer family. ”

"It's not that the Yunling Kingdom has betrayed you, it's that you have betrayed the Yunling Kingdom!"

After the dwarf Mihailo finished speaking, he stared coldly at Igor's face.

Igor's guards on both sides frowned, their expressions were complicated, and their expressions were different.

"So, Mihailo... What are you trying to do with all this?"

Igor stepped forward slowly, his sharp gaze approaching Mihailo's eyes:

"Mobilize the people and unite the northern city-states under their own command......"

"Suddenly appeared just before the cloud peak was about to fall, and turned the tide......"

"In front of all the people of Yunling, with such a generous statement, you will do your best to accuse me and belittle me, the crowned supreme king who conforms to the laws of the Yunling Kingdom......"

"All of this really has to be suspicious - the oldest Yunling people from the Silver Helmet Mountain, who symbolizes the birthplace of the people of Yunling, the noble Mihailo, have obviously betrayed the Yunling Kingdom and become a vassal of Duke Byrne......"

"After paying so much and sacrificing so much, he is no longer an 'outsider' who is not a citizen of Yunling... What do you want?"

Igor, with a gloomy expression, and the dwarf Mihailo looked at each other, and said slowly in a low and cold tone:

"Could it be... Is it intended to overthrow the Cloud Peak, which symbolizes the dwarven tradition, and let him and the long-defunct Silver Helmet Mountain rule the Cloud Ridge Kingdom?!"

The expressions of the dwarven warriors around them, whether they were the defenders of Cloud Peak or the Northern Alliance, changed.

Mihailo, on the other hand, was still expressionless.

"Or..., the 'loyal' Mihailo, is ready to give the peak of the clouds and the kingdom of Yunling as a gift to his current lord - the duke of the benefactor, to wear the crystal crown that belongs to the kingdom of Yunling?!"

Every time Igor said a word, the expressions of the dwarven warriors around him became ugly, and even the warriors of the original Northern Alliance looked at the dwarf of Silverhelm Mountain with a look that was not quite right.

The atmosphere is becoming more and more tense.

"Are you finished?"

Standing around thousands of dwarven warriors, Mihailo, the dwarf with an unchanged face, quietly looked at Igor:

"When you're done, please move your noble gaze to the top of your head. ”

The words fell, and Igor, who was looking at each other, slowly raised his head with a hesitant expression.

As soon as his gaze froze, a trace of consternation flashed in the corner of Igor's eyes.

The "white castle" that fell from the sky is floating above your head at the moment, looking down at you from the sky!

"If Duke Byrne really wants to conquer the Yunling Kingdom, or plunge her into chaos once again - look at that Floating City, don't you think it's really easy for him?"

The corners of Igor's mouth twitched, and his angry expression changed, and for the first time in his life, he deeply understood what it meant to "dare to be angry but not dare to speak".

No, he had actually learned it once a year ago, but it had been too long, so he gradually forgot about it.

Duchy of Byrne, Blood Castle, Hall of the Round Table...... Charlotte Countess of Turin.

The arrogant woman, who had looked down at him with great arrogance, said something that Igor still remembers to this day.

"Byrne today is very different from a hundred years ago......"

"Recognize the reality, Your Majesty the High King, and now you should not be thinking about the power of outsiders. The dwarf Mikhailo said lightly:

"It's about what kind of way should be used to ensure that the proud Yunling Kingdom is no longer as ...... as it is today?"

"Humiliating ——!"
