Chapter 1669: The Lone Guardian
Dugubao Fortress, after four o'clock in the morning, when there was a fire in the distant Nancheng District, there was a faint bustling shout and the sound of fighting floated over, and the students and soldiers of the Fourth Legion who had been besieged for half a year inside the fortress had just finished breakfast.
Yes, it is true that the students have been besieged for half a year, but thanks to the foresight of their headmaster, there is meat and white bread every day, not to mention how nourishing the small life is. In contrast, the enemy forces outside, and the whole of Elichar farther out, have been starving. The students in Dugu Fort occasionally saw on the top of the city that the enemy soldiers outside could only nibble on sprouted potatoes and spoiled gray flour cakes to satisfy their hunger, and they even sympathized with each other.
"From the day the rebels of the federal government were pretended to be the Emergency Committee, we are the only legitimate soldiers in this city of Elichar who are still resisting and abiding by the righteousness, which can be called the conscience of the Federation. As of today, it has been exactly 100 days. Here, we are besieged by the absolute superiority of the rebels, but we have always stood tall. Everyone here is worthy of being proud of themselves! As a result, we have become known as the 'Unyielding Lonely Guard'. Now that the Liberator's Star of Enlightenment has risen in the eastern sky, our leader will lead the army of justice. The long solitary watch is about to see the light of day, and we will be heroes! ”
The defender of Dugu Fort, with a thousand men and half of the small army of dolls, held out under the nose of the Emergency Committee for more than three months, so the "famous general of the city guard", who would later be named "The Lonely Watchman", the major of the Fourth Army named Carol Roshodit, was loudly giving a speech to his comrades.
Well, this is the military tradition of the nations. Especially for generals who were born into the nobility, it is even more necessary to have good eloquence and incitement. However, it is obvious that Uncle Carol, who was born a wealthy businessman and was born with no aristocratic bearing, is more like a non-mainstream angry young man, and he is really not good at this, and he speaks patiently and with a high voice, there are really no ups and downs. So the soldiers and students below were not so much cheering as they were cheering.
Elovier kept sighing in the back, thinking that she had really blinded the speech that the old lady had written for you overnight.
Fortunately, there was a lot of heckling, but that didn't mean that Carol didn't have prestige in the eyes of the soldiers. After three months of steady perseverance, the first soldiers were wounded several times, and several times the enemy army was killed, which was enough to bring the three armies back to their hearts.
Every good general has his own style, there is the kind of majesty and wisdom that is regarded as a god by the soldiers, and of course, there is also the type that mingles with the soldiers and makes them want to die side by side with them.
"Hmm...... It's really awkward, well, it's really not suitable for labor and management, and you probably won't be able to listen to it. Carol angrily stuffed the speech into his trouser pocket and said, "Anyway, thanks to the big guys for not giving up, we're going to win soon." Every soldier of the regiment present will remember the first merit of counterinsurgency here, and you will be indispensable for rewards and promotions. When did our commander break his word? ”
The soldiers began to cheer quietly. Well, after all, the benefits are much more intuitive than those clichés that are not available.
"As for you student dolls, in addition to the merits, your principal said that some students have all A+ grades in this year's courses, and they will have full scholarships next year!"
The students began to cheer. For them, of course, this is also the best affordability.
"By the way, your headmaster also said that he will specially design a commemorative medal for the Lonely Guardian, which will only be issued to us, and everyone has it. The tax exemptions and financial subsidies that can be obtained are equivalent to the Silver Meteor Medal. However, more than 10,000 Silver Meteorites have been issued to the founding of the Federation, and we only have about 1,000 of them, and they will definitely not be issued again in the future. ”
The soldiers began to applaud and cheer. When you get the benefits first, and then you get the honor, everyone will naturally be much more frank.
"But now the people outside call us lonely guardians, like a bunch of wretched worms who have run out of ammunition and are exhausted and need to wait for the rescue to come from outside. Some armies in this world are good at defense and some are good at attacking, but as a real strong army in the world, how can they have any shortcomings. We fought alongside the greatest conqueror of this country, and you are the students of this man, and when he came to Elichar, did he want to hear that we were huddled in the towers of Dugu Castle waiting for help, or were we attacking, constantly attacking, destroying the rebels, saving the innocent people, and delivering Elichar to him? ”
"We're on the attack!" The students and soldiers raised their swords in response, and the cheers of less than a thousand people shook the heavens and the earth. The troops formed outside the city, obviously more than three times in number, were at a loss and panicked.
The military heart is available! The next step is about to attack the army, where the blade goes, the wind is invincible, the rose flag is planted in the Azure Palace, and then the territory is sealed and the territory is on the pinnacle of life, right? Before that, though, Carol remembered to go to the door of the headmaster's office and say, "Then, Ms. Chrycell, let's go." On behalf of the officers and men of the army, as well as the students here, I would like to thank you for your continued protection! ”
After all, he is also the son of a successful businessman, no matter how non-mainstream he is, at least he has emotional intelligence.
"Go on, go on, this girl has been a babysitter for you for so long, it's time for a good night's sleep." The little girl sat in the headmaster's seat, and waved at Carol, and the two beautifully shaped white and smooth calves under the short skirt were placed on the desk with such a big grin.
Carol felt like she didn't even know where to put her eyes. is obviously a little girl who is so beautiful that ordinary people can't look at her directly, but this style is clearly a senior old rascal...... Well, the result is even more daring to look at it directly. He hurriedly saluted again and hurried away.
However, the little girl of the Holy Dragon did not find a place to sleep well, as she herself said, but came to the window, stared at the night sky in the distance, and frowned.
"I'm really tired of a dragon. So how much did I owe you in my last life? The little girl stamped her foot angrily, opened the window, and disappeared with a turn.
On the other side, the famous door of knowledge in Dugu Fort was under the impetus of the magic mechanism, emitting a muffled sound like a bell, and then slowly rising. The soldiers of the noble army outside the city looked at each other, still in a state of confusion. For the defenders who had besieged the fortress for three months, the most important thing they wanted to open was probably the gate with the bronze plus magic protection mechanism. But now, the gate, which had stood for months under the bombardment of trebuchets and magic, had finally opened, but the besieging party was not happy at all.
"Kill the thief! Liberate our Elichar! Carol rushed out of the gates, letting out the most furious roar he'd ever had.
"Free our Elichar!" Soldiers and students shouted.
The roar alone made the soldiers of the aristocratic army outside the city tremble and retreat, as if they were not the defenders and students who were only one-third of them, but a group of desolate beasts. However, it turns out that under special circumstances, ordinary people are much more ferocious than the so-called giant beasts of the Flood Desolation.
But only a crisp sound like fried beans was heard, and the noble army fell on the spot, a dozen people fell on the spot, which was the credit of the first thirty leading gunners who rushed out of the city gate with Carol. At the same moment, the three guide cannons mounted on the city tower also began to roar of their own, and for a while, a few meters away from the camp of the noble army, the earth and snowflakes rose into the sky.
Yes, the range is not enough. No matter how stupid the noble army is, they will not put the camp within the range of artillery fire after so many artillery shells. It's just that the deterrent effect that should be there is enough. You know, these soldiers have seen their comrades being hit by artillery fire - there are no bones left at the center of the explosion; Shattered bones in the inner circle of the explosion; The death on the periphery of the explosion was miserable; Even those who are lucky enough to not die in the outer ring, except for missing arms and legs, now they can't help but incontinent when they hear a more intense sound.
The soldiers of the aristocratic army, who had been gnawing on sprouted potatoes and rancid pickled radishes for several months, had the consciousness of breaking their bones for the masters. Naturally, they don't want to be human at all this time, ah no, they are soldiers!
"Run for your life! Run! ”
"Don't fight, we don't want to fight!"
"We're all miserable!"
In short, before the officers could react, hundreds of thousands of people were running around, hundreds of people were wailing and wailing, and hundreds of thousands of people were begging to surrender. Gale winds, gunfire erupted, and the few who still wanted to resist stubbornly were immediately overwhelmed by the chaotic companions, and it was no longer possible to maintain any organization.
In just a few minutes, the army of more than 3,000 people was completely defeated. However, we also know that this is just a small island that hangs above the main island of the city of Elichar, and there is no bridge between it and the main island of Elichar. Even if they escaped, they really had nowhere to go. As a result, a semi-permanent portal set up by the magicians of the Gate Valve Sect between the two islands became the only escape route.
The entrance to this spatial passage, which was originally only for the convenience of supplies and sending reinforcements, was suddenly crowded with hundreds of people, and in an instant, the upper limit of teleportation was exceeded, and it could not be activated at all.
Of course, we can't expect this rabble to have the courage to fight against the water, nor can we expect that the officers who lead the team will have a hero who will gather the defeated forces and turn the tide. In fact, this group of aristocratic officers is precisely the fastest group, and they are now blocking the portal.
"Phew! Bang! Bang! Bang! "The leading gunners, who had almost penetrated the entire barracks of the opposing side, rushed into the surging crowd with a volley of guns. They said that they had not fought such a dense rake for a long time, and the salvo rate of the smoothbore gun in their hands could hit more than 90 percent, and it was estimated that they would not have such a record for the rest of their lives.
This time the salvo knocked down at least a hundred people. Maybe it's because so many people have died, the portal can finally bear it, or maybe it's because the magician on the other side of the door has a little class friendship to expand the teleportation capacity, and the circle is finally running. The officers crowded here were like refugees who had been chased by the KB elements for several days, and when they finally waited for the rich border of Europa to open to them, they quickly cried and rushed over, and it is really difficult to count how many people were knocked down, pushed out of the way, and then died under the trampling of their fellow refugees.
However, the high speed of the teleportation array soon revealed the location of their entrances. Carroll soon spotted his target—the town square of a small town closest to Dugu Castle—and he glanced at Wren, who immediately realized and rode his companions into the air on their flying beasts.
Carroll's soldiers did not include air cavalry, but the Dugubao Military Academy had a cavalry section, and the vice president of the student council, Second Lieutenant Wren Sewartz, was one of the best. In addition, if you put together the cavalry students who are fully qualified in horsemanship, swordsmanship, and spearmanship, you can still make up twenty, and there are thirty or forty adult high-quality cavalry flying beasts in the fortress. Carroll also selected ten of the sharpshooters' good horsemen and agreed to give them to Second Lieutenant Wren to command, thus forming the only high-speed mobile force in the army.
More than 30 horsemen can only be used as scouts on the front battlefield, but they can work wonders when placed in the right place. Ensign Wren and his men flew over with a swagger—Marshal Mencius had emptied almost all of Elichar's warships and air forces anyway, and they had no fear of enemy interception—and it took a few minutes to reach the sky over the town square.
They condescendingly dispersed the defenders next to the circle with their spears and bows, and then quickly landed on the ground, becoming their captives of the teleportation circle and the mages who were running it. The "main force" led by Carol crossed the portal and finally entered the loss of the main island, and finally ignited the flames of war into the city of Elichar.
Of course, when they arrived, they were greeted by the local citizens. After so many days of perseverance, witnessing the long-term attack of the noble army, the soldiers in Dugu Fort have long been regarded as their own disciples by the citizens who have watched the battle for a long time.
Rejecting the pleas of many overzealous citizens to join the battle, Carol gathered her troops, regrouped her formation, and followed the original plan in the direction of the academy where the Palazzo of Archam and the Central Academy of Magic were located.
Of course, the battle in the academy had been going on for a long time before he and his reinforcements arrived.
