What Duke Elvwan definitely didn't expect was that the Archon of Kairos was not in the inner city at all, and he even took most of the defenders with him when he left the city. There were now only about 200 recruits and 800 civilians in the inner fort www.biquge.info the Pen Pavilion, and the only regular troops were the heavy crossbowmen numbering less than 100 men, and their temporary commander was a young Shadow Ten. It's an empty city, and all it takes is a tentative reconnaissance force for Duke Elfwan to discover that this is not a hard nut to crack, but a hollow eggshell.

"Huh......" The ten-captain slowly exhaled a breath of cold air that had been frozen in his lungs for a long time, looking at the Saarion army who chose to rest in the outer city, he was relieved, and his expression showed a little tiredness, but his standing posture was still straight, and his eyes were still sharp. He knew that a thousand old and weak people in the inner fortress were watching his back, and the reason why they were not desperate was because he was still standing at the head of the city, and he represented the Grand Master of the Shadow Legion, Kairos, the invincible archon! Therefore, he must not show even the slightest slack at this time, he is the pillar, the backbone, the icebreaker of the future battle, the winner and loser, carrying the hope of a thousand people in the inner castle while facing the despair on all sides, the mountain-like pressure on the shoulders of this young officer, who is no more than twenty-five years old.

But he was a mountain in his own right, a mountain that grew up in the mountain range of the Shadow Legion.

The mountains are never moved.

The Sarion army is all in the city! Those eye-catching reds soon filled the streets, and the old boy of Elfwan probably thought that he could make it to the heart of the empire, right? The ten-captain looked at the eye-catching sword and shield flag of the Chinese army, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his hand slashed like a sword.

"Open the door." He whispered.

Duke Elfwan nibbled on the hard dry dough, kept tearing off a small piece and filling it into his mouth, and after a long time of dehydration, the flour was like sand, and he chewed hard but quickly, and then leaned back his neck to pour water. Although you are the commander of the First Army, the ration given to himself by Duke Elfwan is no different from that of ordinary soldiers, but it is difficult for Kia, he looked at the hard object in his hand with a bitter face, which he didn't know whether it was a stone or bread: "Father, didn't you still have meat yesterday?" ”

"If the logistics base is not established sooner, you won't want to see a little meat for the next three days." Duke Elfwan said, "Good things are given priority to the front, and the people at the front must not be allowed to eat hard bread, and the people in the rear eat meat, right?" ”

There was a commotion ahead, and someone shouted: "Inner Fort! The Inner Fort is open! Startled, Duke Elfwan got up and looked to see that the fortress that had fallen into the Jedi was slowly lowering the drawbridge, and several soldiers were struggling to push out several huge black stones, the edges of which were deliberately carved out of arcs. As soon as the stone touched the slope, it rolled towards the Saarione camp under the pull of gravity, leaving gray-black marks along the way. They didn't seem to be much of a fortified weapon, and as they rolled, they began to crumble, a thick black liquid flowing out of the chasm like blood. When the boulders were completely reduced to a puddle of rubble, the slime also filled the streets and alleys of the outer city, and a foul smell as if it was metal rust spread.

"What is this?" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the heart of the Duke of Elfwan, and his years of military service had given him a keen sense of tactics: no general would adopt untargeted tactics, and every move was sparing no effort to kill the opponent. He suddenly had a sense of crisis that he was pushed to death! When? But there was no time left to give the Elder Duke of Elfwan, and he heard Kia's voice, which was dry from extreme fright: "Father...... This is...... The burning water used by the firebow snipers of the Order of Genesis! ”

Duke Elfwan's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously looked at the head of the inner fort: dozens of heavily armed crossbowmen neatly raised the siege crossbow, and on it was a crossbow arrow, and the flames on the arrow were blazing!

"Launch!" The ten-captain waved his arms and roared, and brilliant streamers rose up behind him, like a crimson claw tearing open the canopy of the sky, turning into a rain of fire that destroyed the world!

Burning water, this term was only prominent on the mainland after the advent of the fire crossbow sniper, which is a companion product of crude oil in the seabed, flammable and flame-resistant, strong adhesion, as long as it can be ignited by high-speed friction with air, it is the best choice for attaching to tracer arrows. And the Karakuri crossbow is the standard firebolt sniper, which can tilt tens of thousands of deflaging bolts towards the city in a short period of time! Most of the buildings on Pande are wooden structures, which can easily fuel fires, and how to defend the city under the rain of arrows from fire crossbow snipers is a subject that every general has to face.

It was as if the flames of the end of the world swept through the castle of Carlindern, the dragons roared, the serpents danced, and the buildings groaned and burned and collapsed in the scorching heat, releasing an astonishing heat. The people of Saarion howled wolf, their tight formation was defeated in less than a second under the man-made natural disaster, and everyone desperately rushed to the city gates, and the rear army spontaneously became the vanguard of escape. The "lion's robe" that the Sarionian soldiers were so proud of was suddenly gone, and everyone seemed to have a blood feud between them, pushing and trampling, shouting and crying. A huge whirlpool of twists appeared at the gates, and the pressure of thousands of people made it as dangerous as a meat grinder, but beyond the whirlpool was the plain of Callindern, and it was to escape.

The Chinese army under the command of Duke Elfwan was also affected to a certain extent, but the most elite Marions swordsmen tightly protected their commander, and the sword and shield banner was still held high in the tide of people.

"Lord Duke, please leave quickly!" The captain of the guard knelt down on one knee in front of the Duke of Elfwan and whispered.

"Kairos must have already intercepted the retreat with his army, don't go out of the city yet, gather the troops, and find a sheltered corner along the city wall." Duke Elfwan had calmed down, and he quickly gave up on the idea of regrouping, and the military judge was only responsible for supervising the battle, and the authority given by the military order would not allow them to reverse the defeat of the army. "Rolf, come with me!"

"Father, where's my sister?" Kia shouted.

"I told her to stand by outside the city with a squad of heavy cavalry." Duke Elfwan looked at the Salion army that was engulfed in flames, and his heart was like a knife, "I only hope that the so-called super-first-class warriors can really rewrite the situation on the battlefield and save us as Brochette said!" ”

Outside the city.

The castle erupted like a beast bursting out of its cage, with bloody smoke from its mouth and nose. It swallowed the tens of thousands of Salion's troops in one fell swoop, and then roared wildly.

The Archon of Kairos was just outside the city, listening to the screams of the people of Salion, as if he were sipping a light tea made by his own hands, neither enjoying nor disgusting. Scoleroru stood in front of him, dispatching his troops, forming a huge net around the gates, forcing the Sarion soldiers back as they rushed out of the gates.
