It is indeed just like what Lu Xi imagined, Squinting actually thought about the worst plan early on. So, when the Flying Knights of Sky Rose descended on the sky above the fortress of Daroshure, and when the soaring flames rose from the harbor area and warehouse, everyone else fell into a panicked debuff, but this high-profile aristocratic faction's best young general of the current generation did show qualities worthy of his reputation. He was extremely calm and quickly gave orders to respond.

"In the remaining reserves, allocate two hundred-strong teams to reinforce the Red Star Fort and the White Moon Tower, establish a defensive line nearby, and by the way, the battle mage regiment there will lift the arcane suppression of Dongwang Castle and devote all their energy to ensuring their own defense."

Both of these are fairly important fortresses in the stronghold, and both come with magic towers with bonus spell effects. Each location has a five-man elite battle mage who can use the bonus effect of the magic tower to perform long-range arcane bombardment on enemies throughout the fort, especially in the port area. Similarly, it is also possible to use the magic tower as the core of the circle to open a wide range of defensive barriers. In addition, their geographical location is also very important, just stuck between the city and the port area, as long as they are not lost, they can be horns of each other, and they can also become outposts in the barracks area under their control.

"Let the soldiers in the city begin to withdraw somewhat in the direction of the town square, and meet with the troops stationed in the city hall and the school palace in the center of the city. By the way, we've already lifted the Crystal Cannon to the roof, right? Are you sure? Very good, just use the town hall and the school palace as a fulcrum to build a line of defense in the town square. ”

The Palace and City Hall were the tallest buildings in the city of Daroshure, and Squint had ordered three magic crystal cannons to be removed from the fleet a day earlier and installed on the roof. His subordinates were originally unaware of his order, so they thought that this squinting aristocratic little white face was a toss-up, but only now did they understand how far-sighted this was.

Defeat before expectation, Squint is a pessimist who does things without leakage. Of course, this is not innate, but after almost being killed by someone on the spot, this temperament was developed.

He added: "Tell Lieutenant Colonel White and Major Bruce that you can consider using civilian houses as a stronghold to stabilize the line." What, the citizens inside? Heh, this is someone's real estate, and it's just a matter of collecting it, but it's too unkind to kick them out again. Let the poor citizens stay in their own homes, and persuade each other with good words, and do not drive them away! ”

To put it bluntly, this is using ordinary citizens as shields. It's just that this kind of thing is not big news even in the 21st century in Lu Xilanxing's hometown, and it is even less important in this era. Whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, the safety of ordinary civilians has never been a priority for military commanders.

"The troops still besieging Dongwang Fort? Woo...... Let's leave it to them to break out on their own. I don't have any reinforcements left here. In addition, the troops who went to reinforce the warehouse area did not need to force them, let them rush to the nearby fort to fortify. ”

In all fairness, this command is actually quite correct. Because the troops besieging Dongwangbao were bombarded by the air cavalry at the first time, and they were also copied from the back road. It is impossible to save if you want to save it, and even if you do, it will definitely outweigh the losses. A high-ranking aristocratic faction like Squinting Eyes, no matter how approachable and soldier-loving characters can usually be performed, it is impossible to really have any so-called friendship with ordinary soldiers. Of course, it is impossible to make another choice.

In this way, the more than 2,000 people who surrounded Dongwang Fort were equivalent to being abandoned, but they would also objectively be able to play a role in breaking off.

"As for the harbor, is the battle still going on?"

"The situation is not very favorable. Colonel Dai had already counterattacked the enemy's artillery positions with the Crystal Cannon, but with little success. Ah Fu replied with a frown.

If you want to talk about things like magic crystal cannons, of course, the power is not low - of course, its power mainly depends on the purity and size of the natural shaped crystal, so it cannot be mass-produced - at least the main cannon on the cruiser is completely beyond the small cannons brought by the air cavalry with pack beasts. But the problem is that its range and hitting power, especially across the shooting boundary, are really a bit unsatisfactory. So, in such an artillery battle, they fell into disadvantage at the beginning.

"There is already a cruiser and a frigate that have completely lost their ability to lift off." Ah Fu said: "However, Colonel Say has already set up a flame crossbow in the lighthouse and several high positions, and the two hundred giant shield crossbowmen under his command have also gone up to the roof, and the enemy's air cavalry will not be able to approach it immediately for a while. ”

As the admiral of the Chenhai fleet, Squint certainly won't ignore his most important warships. In fact, the most elite sailors in the fleet were always on standby in the harbor, and Colonel Dayi, who led the team, was also a squinting henchman. They really didn't expect the attackers to quickly occupy the high ground and pull the entire port area into the range of the guide guns. However, after a brief period of panic, they were the best on the defenders' side.

You must know that in addition to the sailors, there are also two very capable mercenary troops in the port, namely a 300-man giant shield crossbowman brigade and a 150-man shield axe team. They are all well-known mercenary teams in all countries, and they have a good reputation.

Anyway, in the feudal era, isn't it always common sense that mercenaries can fight better than the national standing army? Just get the Pope to cheat enough money...... Ah no, in short, as long as you have money, you can rely on mercenaries to be invincible and unify the continent.

As a result, the giant shield crossbowmen went up to the rooftop, and the shield axe men set up obstacles in several traffic arteries leading to the port area. For a while, it really stabilized the battle situation temporarily.

It's just that under the suppression of the guide cannon and the repeated charges of the air knights, they actually can't last long.

"Let the sailors get on board and drive all the boats that can move. The rest of the ones that were too late to take away all of them detonated their tisru cores. ”

"All the ships? Transport ships are included. Hearing this, Ah Fu raised his head and couldn't help but ask again.

"All I say, of course, is all in the literal sense of the word!" He didn't even look at the other party and said coldly.

I understand what you mean, these ships can't fall into the hands of the other side even if they can't be saved. But once all the ships are burned, you're stuck on this island!

The old housekeeper thought so in his heart, but he knew very well that his young master was usually smiling, and he was very kind when he spoke calmly. It can be regarded as a very rare person who can communicate with the children of the young gatekeeper, but once he makes up his mind, he never allows a subordinate like himself to question it.

Demboley Dandylane's order was quickly conveyed after the identity of the attacker was confirmed. As a result, the defenders, who had been beaten to the point of bewilderment, were like bear children who had been lost for most of the day and finally heard their mother's voice, although they were still panicking, they were finally able to subconsciously act according to the instructions of the upper hand. For a time, the chaotic situation was indeed effectively controlled.

However, Squint himself knew very well that he was able to get to this point because he could quickly give orders to all the officers. And the reason why he was able to do this kind of operation was not because his Young Master Deng Bolai was suddenly possessed by the military god, nor was it that his subordinates were several orders of magnitude ahead of the times, and each squad was equipped with a radio station or something, not to mention that he could have the luxury of giving the officers a priceless communication crystal.

Of course, the principle is also very simple, it is that he squinted and prepared fifty bird-shaped demons early. This is a kind of wind elemental elf, with a very simple and clear name called "Swift Wind Bird", which is not much larger than the hummingbird, and has no combat power. But it is extremely fast, and the mind is also very alert, and there are almost no natural enemies in nature. Of course, their IQ is not high enough to be a herald, but their innate ability is to use the friction of the wind element to simulate the information given to them by their master. In a sense, it's more useful than well-trained heralds.

However, the weakness of this kind of thing is also obvious. The first is that it's too brittle, and if it really needs to be noticed by a spellcaster with excellent perception, a dozen can be wiped out with a single blow of the wind blade. Moreover, its blue cost is also quite high, and maintaining its presence in the main plane for a long time is a great burden for the caster.

Now, maintaining this large string of swift wind birds makes squinting a little difficult. He now urgently needed to return to the barracks, gather all the officers who could still move, and mobilize all the remaining defenders. As long as this step is achieved, the own side still has an absolute advantage in the fortress, even if the veterans of the thousands of people and the Sixth Legion who are in the mountains rush back, they still have the strength to fight. At least it can definitely be dragged until the main forces of the combined fleet, which are rushing here, arrive.

It's just that......

"Boom!" Not far away, an explosion was heard again in the large auditorium, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the front auditorium crumbled to the ground. Several bodies still on fire smashed open the main entrance of the auditorium with a thud, and fell directly on the stairs of the doorway. Immediately afterward, more people burst out of the gate with all sorts of screams, like a flock of frightened sheep. Their steps were on the unfortunate ones who had smashed down the stairs at first, and they had screamed a few times at first, but soon there was no more sound, and they were now dead. With the bustling crowd squeezing out of the gate, there are more and more people, and many people fall directly with garlic, so the scene becomes more and more chaotic.

The so-called Federation officers, when confronted with sudden danger, behaved like unarmed civilians. Looking at this absurd scene, his squinting eyes turned out to be ridiculous for a while, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

“…… O officers of the Sixth Legion! I remember two years ago, this was the most elite legion in the Federation. Whose question is this? ”

Oh, yes? Whose problem is it? In just two years, a large number of nobles and all kinds of related households have filled all important positions in the legion. Those outstanding officers retired and changed careers, and many outstanding officers were even directly dug up by the Sky Rose next door.

As a result, the Eastern Legion, which is full of more than 30,000 people, has guarded the eastern border of the Federation for a hundred years, and the only one that can be counted as the border iron army with abundant martial virtues is the veteran army with only five or six thousand people left. That's all the result of that red thunder light's arguments. In fact, no one would doubt that given a few more months, there would be no more veterans left.

It would take more than ten years to build a martial elite army - except, of course, some hangings - but two years is really enough time to destroy a martial elite army.

The old housekeeper Ah Fu looked at his young master, his eyes were a little subtle, but he remained silent. He understands that his young master is actually clearer than himself.

"Heh, my teammates are all stupid, but, born in a dandelion family, what can I do but carry this group of fools and grit their teeth and insist? Actually, I don't know how much I envy that person. ”

“…… That guy?! ”

"Yes, envy, jealousy, longing, but I can't ask for it, of course I have to hate. Otherwise, what can be done? ”

At that moment, Ah Fu saw too much emotion on the face of his young master, but after a blink of an eye, he once again recovered the fox smile that was squinting and faint but everything was under control.

"Brother Rudolph is such a gaffe! He had promised that he would take Miss Moore quickly. ”

“…… Are you going to do it yourself? Ah Fu asked.

To be honest, in the melee of extraordinary strength, only those with the same level of strength can intervene. And on his side, there is really only the young master himself.

Dunboley Dandy Lane pondered for a moment, and then sneered: "Forget it, since Brother Rudolph boasted about Haikou, it would be too embarrassing for him to go over." Anyway, he's a smart guy, and if the situation is not right, he won't force it. ”

"Let's go."

Squint left the terrace and headed towards the barracks with a group of henchmen. There were still six or seven thousand officers and men stationed there, and they should have been awakened by the shouts of killing and explosions. Even if this is a group of rookie recruits who have never seen blood, as long as they can be reorganized and driven to the battlefield, even if they are cannon fodder, they are also a decisive force that can stabilize the battle situation.

He walked so quickly that he didn't take a cloud with him, as if he didn't know that Rudolf Gezette, who was in the Great Hall, was cursing at himself.

"Why didn't that dead fox with a bad belly come over to help?"

The deputy commander of the Chenhai Fleet hid behind a huge classical stone pillar in the grand ballroom, and looked at the majestic Miss Seyleus Moore in the middle of the auditorium, and his heart was filled for a while.
