Finding that the tide of enemies in front of them was slowly retreating, the defenders in front of the City Lord's Mansion finally had a chance to catch their breath and seize the time to raise their sore shoulders to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

It was a makeshift line of defense, and the white-robed Fetamburg guards were the main force, standing at the front of the line with spears in hand.

In addition, there are some warriors dressed as mercenaries, whose weapons are as messy as their clothes, swords, axes, hammers, and all sorts of things, and their organization and discipline are obviously much worse.

Behind these soldiers and mercenaries were ranged troops of a handful of archers and crossbowmen, and, most importantly, a hundred or so Chaos Dwarven musketeers who were as silent as a rock.

The reason why these guards from the Dark Land "Ggoth Fort" and the "Ash Horn" Chamber of Commerce are involved in this battle within the human race, and are still on the side of Fetanburg, which is obviously at a disadvantage, is not because of the good trade relationship with it, nor because they have any personal friendship with the city lord Matthew.

These things are far less real in the eyes of the Chaos Dwarves than the golden and heavy Mark, but this time they are not hired by the defenders for money, it is obvious that this is a fierce battle of death, money is important, it must also be spent.

The reason why they are willing to wade into this troubled water and do this loss-making business is all because of one person.

She was also on the battlefield, standing with several leaders of this improvised unit, a young girl with a black double ponytail, gray skin, and blood-red eyes.

Ayigunu Golden Lock, the apprentice of the demon blacksmith, the chief engineer of the "Broken Claw Tribe", the personal teacher of Little Bell, and also the president of the "Ash Horn" Chamber of Commerce, the pearl of the "Gray Bull" Cyrus Golden Lock.

As the only daughter of Cyrus's many sons, she suddenly disappeared from the world on the rabid dog trail, and there was no one alive or dead, which made the president of the "Ggoth Castle" very important to the furious, and the result was that more than 200 guards and their families at the chamber of commerce were all thrown into the iron mine slave camp west of the city, and many of them had followed him for decades to do the most dangerous work that should be done by orcs.

It is said that half of these unfortunate bastards died in just one year, and now they must have been left for a long time, giving everyone another glimpse of the president's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and at the same time letting them know how horrible it is to be a father who cares about his daughter.

Because of this, when a chaotic dwarf girl who claimed to be Ayigunu appeared in front of the caravan, the first reaction of the person in charge, Parthia, was that he would definitely move several positions forward in the council of the Chamber of Commerce at the end of the year.

Of course, before this, he still cautiously confirmed the identity of this young lady who should have entered the belly of a certain beast and turned into a pile of excrement, he didn't want to be happy and sad.

Although a few years had passed, Parthia had happened to meet Ayigunu a few times before, and vaguely remembered her appearance, and in addition to that, she had taken out a special item.

It is a fist-sized heart-shaped ornament, gray, with a metallic glow, delicate and small, but otherwise seemingly unremarkable.

But Parthia saw it and immediately exclaimed its name without hesitation.

The Heart of Ashes, an amulet made of pure "Sogdian Gray Iron", was created by the greatest demonic blacksmith of all time in the "Dark Lands", the "Iron Hand" Attagoth, and is the proudest treasure of the "Ash Horn" Chamber of Commerce, even the pattern on the Chamber of Commerce's banner is it.

When Ayigunu was an adult, Cyrus gave her as a birthday present, but it was lost along with her disappearance, and many people secretly said that part of Cyrus's anger came from this.

So there is no doubt about the identity of this girl.

Although Parthia was very curious about where his own young lady had gone all these years, it was not his turn to ask about this kind of thing, all he had to do was to bring the eldest lady back completely, and then wait for the rise to the top.

But fate is sometimes so elusive, and just as he kept urging the young lady to leave for Ggothburg early, the war broke out.

What he didn't expect was that this young lady who looked weak and weak chose to stay and fight with a mercenary group without hesitation, a decision that simply drove Parthia crazy.

He had long found out that Ayigunu seemed to have a very good relationship with that group of human mercenaries, since he saw her, he was accompanied by a little human girl, and even lived in the station of the mercenary group, but he didn't expect her to help these humans fight!

There was no way, Parthia could only take all the guards of the caravan to follow her closely, and somehow participated in this battle with no chance of winning.

The guards of the caravan understood his decision, and it was good that they didn't meet Aigunu, they could just slap their butts and leave, but if they left the young lady to escape alone, it would be a dark mine waiting for them and their families.

On the other hand, if they die to protect the young lady, their parents and children will definitely be able to receive preferential treatment from the president.

It is clear which is better and which is inferior.

In this way, the defenders of Fetanburg were unexpectedly aided by the Chaos Dwarves, and under their well-trained musket volleys, the Zares threw down hundreds of corpses, otherwise the battle would have been over.

But even the most stupid of them knew that it was just a matter of survival, and when Parthia found that all his ammunition had been fired, he had to go to the rear of the line and tell the eldest lady the bad news.

At this time, Ayigunu was with Repp and a general from Fetamburg.

This middle-aged man named Hassan is the deputy commander of the Fetanburg City Guard, and he became the commander of the defenders when Matthew was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Fitandila was missing, Egrim was on the verge of mutiny, and the three high-ranking officials were collectively absent.

However, the commander of this temporary force was not him, but Lepp, who was dressed as a mercenary next to him.

The mercenary commander won the trust of Hassan with his calm command, all-round arrangement, and courage to stand up at critical moments, who considered himself inferior and directly handed over the command to him.

Of course, this is also because the two have a very close personal relationship and trust each other, not to mention that the city lord also took a fancy to him before.

Hearing the message relayed by the anxious Chaos Maiden, Rep's face with an eternal aristocratic smile also became solemn, although these Chaos Dwarves can also lift axes and fight in melee combat without muskets, but from a tactical point of view, this is too bad news to be bad.

Especially when he saw the infantry units on the opposite side begin to retreat to both sides, leaving room for hundreds of heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, all that remained on his face was a wry smile.

PS: The unit has a reception task in the evening, and the update is a little late, forgive me.
