The first assault on Poimpur by the Misty Mountains army lasted a full morning before ending with the howl of wolves. However, even as the tide receded into the snowy fields outside the city, the defenders of the city were still immersed in the bloody afterglow. Some veterans are very uncomfortable, they have been stationed in Boimbru for many years, it is not the first time to fight against the tide of raiding, so they are also well aware of the tenacity and ferocity of the Misty Mountain tribes, their offensive will not stop until their morale and scale are completely defeated, so their attack will only be launched once, and if it is not successful, it will be successful. Fighting them is not simply a battle of manpower, but a battle of wills on top of it - Ravenson can always win, but never easy. But this year they retreated unusually, and the intention of retreat was so resolute that the veterans looked at the corpses of the Misty Mountain warriors who had been cut down during the retreat, and their mortal wounds were all in the backs without exception. At the height of the battle between the two sides, these brutes resolutely turned and fell, as if there was a higher priority than the enemy in front of them, and their discipline made everyone shudder at that moment.

What will it be? The more senior veterans already had the answer in their hearts, but they didn't tell their comrades.

"It's not good." On the northern urn, Ranmarok watched the crushing marauding army outside the city, with Captain Dahal following him. The outer urn city was littered with corpses in gray-and-white leather armor, and it was a struggle for them to make their way all the way. Both of them had deep and shallow dents in their armor, which were the result of hard resistance to swords. Captain Dahar was even more embarrassed, his right shoulder armor was completely shattered, including the cushions of the leather and cotton armor underneath, and the red halo of blood slowly leaked in the chaos. He was nearly struck in the head by a huge mace while directing the battle in the East Urn City, and if it weren't for Captain Dahar's quick reaction, it would have been his skull that would have cracked open instead of the armor on his right shoulder.

"How are the casualties counted at the East Gate?"

"Four hundred and seventy-eight were slightly wounded, thirty-four were seriously wounded, and five were killed."

"Didn't you have siege crossbow troops there?" Ranmaroch was a little surprised.

"Yes, but I kept the rangers on the lookout, and when they climbed the walls, I set fire to them and disposed of them, without giving them a chance to line up. How are you there? ”

"Two hundred and eighty-three minor injuries, twenty serious injuries, no one died in battle, but a few were particularly seriously injured, their waists were broken by maces, and the doctors of the academy were not too sure that they could be saved, even if they were rescued, they would be crippled for the rest of their lives." Ranmaroke stiffened his face, "And we have too few medicine reserves, how long can we support it just by relying on something like blood-burning licorice that overdraws the human body?" ”

"In order to completely annihilate the siege crossbow troops at the North Gate, you used the 'Dragon Roar', right?"

"You got it?" Ranmarok glanced over his head at Captain Dahal.

"I hear you." Captain Dahal pointed to his ear, "It's so loud that it's hard not to notice, how many are you using?" ”

"Three hundred and one."

"Volley? It's such a waste, and each of you only has ten 'dragon roars'. Captain Dahar frowned, "It's better to use accurate sniping as much as possible." ”

"That's siege crossbows, and I can't afford to risk putting them within range of precision sniping." Ranmarok said coldly, pointing to the holes in his armor that had been pierced by siege crossbows, "If it weren't for the precise calculations of the scholars, I would still be destined to talk to you here?" Luck was good enough, and a salvo wiped them all out. If you really want to settle accounts, then tell me, which is more expensive than a garrison or a dragon roaring arrow? ”

“…… I overstepped my authority, and you are the commander of the garrison. Captain Dahar whispered, "I'm sorry. ”

"What about Simon's casualties? I haven't seen the temporary commander over there come and report yet. Ranmarok didn't want to continue the discussion on the subject, and kicked one of the corpses at his feet off the wall, turning the conversation back to casualties.

"I've sent someone to urge it, and Jig said it's still counting."

"So the temporary commander is Giger......" Ranmarok covered his forehead, feeling even worse, "It would be nice if Boris was still around." ”

"This name must never be mentioned in front of any of the Black Spear Knights and the core scholars of the Royal Academy. I should have warned you before. Captain Dahar said, in a tone so solemn that it seemed to offend him at the mere mention of the name, "He has reneged on the oath of the Knights of the Black Spear." ”

"But I haven't seen you remove him from his position for so long, and he is still nominally the Knight Captain of the Black Spear Knights!" Ranmarok emphasized.

"And Boris betrayed the Black Spear Knights, not Livingston, and the appointment and dismissal of any knight captain requires the consent of Duke Alexis and His Majesty the King, and the abbot has long written a letter requesting that Boris be removed from the position of knight chief, but has not received a response. It's complicated, but Boris is an internal affair that belongs to the Black Spear Knights, and you just need to know that he chose to leave on his own initiative. The Black Spear Knights are ostensibly three knight commanders, but in reality it's just me and Giger. Dahal's tone and eyes were strange to Ranmarok, who knew very little about Boris's defection, and in fact, he didn't know that the future acting head had quietly left the North if it weren't for Brochette sending a messenger to Ryan and Raven City. And the wording given by the Black Spear Knights is also ambiguous, not calling Boris a defector, but a "renuncier". What oath was broken? He had asked many of the high-ranking officials of the Black Spear Knights, but they were all evasive, and when he found Dahal, he gave the same answer as he did now: "This is an internal affair of the Black Spear Knights, Boris chose to leave on his own initiative, you just need to know this." ”

"Don't wait for Jige, he has nothing to do with military affairs, and the efficiency is terrible, and when he counts the casualties, maybe the enemy has already started a second wave of attacks." Ranmarok suddenly said, "Go directly to the west gate and ask him, I will confirm by the way whether the source of the wolf howl is there, do you want to go back to the east gate or come with me?" ”

“…… Let's do it together. "I'm also interested in what this generation of Omenwolf looks like. ”

After a few moments of silence, the two of them looked out of the city at the same time, the gray tide on the snowfield was still slowly spreading, and under the dark clouds, the shadows of the misty mountains were unsettling.
