Chapter 116: Fortress Deal
Higg broke out in a cold sweat, and looked up, and the axe was wielded by a tall barbarian, with a strong and powerful muscles that made people tremble, and his eyes erupted with a ferocious and angry gaze, it was none other than Walker, the commander of the Gran Fortress.
Without giving Higg a chance, Walker picked up his axe again and slashed at him. Higg didn't dare to compete with this madman, so he had to use his agility to maneuver with Walker. Walker screamed in the room, and although the axe didn't hit Higg, the force brought out by the wind also made Higg's face feel painful. This kind of ultra-close combat left Higg with no chance to use his magic skills to attack, and he felt that he had difficulty even dodging.
Andrew's movements were fast, eliminating the guards at various important levels, most of which were goblin guards with little combat effectiveness, although there were many of them, but they did not cause much resistance to Andrew's team.
Andrew finally concentrated all his forces to attack the gate of the fortress, and finally opened the gate of the fortress to the Ural Gorge, and then a huge fireworks bomb exploded in midair, and Habaiza, two thousand meters away, led an army of 15,000 and hurried towards the fortress.
Johnson's progress was also smooth, although the resistance encountered was becoming more and more stubborn, but he had gradually taken control of the fortress, and the orcs on the two arrow towers were also suppressed by the elven archers of Corincha. Johnson rushed into two teams of thirty dead men each and climbed the arrow tower to kill the orcs who were still resisting and throwing axes.
The attack on the barracks was not so lucky, he brought the most men and horses, and encountered the most troubles, a thousand dead soldiers against the enemy nearly 30,000 people, even if the other side was unprepared, relying on sporadic resistance and gradually organized troops, began to form an overwhelming advantage over the former dead men of Gamble.
Gampochi had to recover more than a thousand people to the entrances and exits of the various barracks, and no longer harass and massacre the barracks, and before the arrival of Habaisa's army, he would have to face retaliation from the other side, and even then, he had to keep the other party in the barracks.
Andrew and Johnson, who completed the mission, also came to support the barracks.
The battle of the commander's barracks suffered heavy casualties, although Thomas and Pantony had fought hard to kill all the wolf knights, orcs and ogres, but a hundred dead soldiers finally said that a dozen of them were still in combat power, and the other more than thirty people who had not died, none of them were not seriously injured, and there were constantly sporadic squads to reinforce the commander's barracks, so that Thomas and Pantony's remaining men and horses were also tired of coping.
Higg really didn't expect to quickly solve Walker's guards and magicians, and he actually fell into Walker's entanglement, he didn't have any chance to attack at all, he could only rely on his skills to dodge left and right, completely at a disadvantage, even if he was encouraged to make a move, it was difficult to cause any damage to Walker's strong body.
Since he can't be defeated, Higg finally chose a first-order magic with a quick shot and low mana consumption, and cast it to slow down, weakness, doom, etc., because it is a group magic skill, it does not necessarily need to be applied to Walker's body, as long as it is within the effective range of Higg's cast, it will make the enemy hit. Walker and Higg's close moves, of course, did not escape Higg's magic casting range, one after another first-order magic skills were imposed on Walker, at first the strong and savage Walker did not notice anything, but the superposition of multiple first-order magic skills made Walker start to act a little sluggish, and his strength was gradually not as good as just now, and even the hit rate was much worse.
Higg finally had time to unleash a second-order magic skill, and a thunderbolt of ice struck Walker's body, and Walker's body immediately stiffened.
Ignoring the roaring Walker, Higg continued to freeze Walker's hands and feet with the Thunderbolt Ice skill, ordered Walker to be tied up, and then searched Walker's body for the military token of the Grand Fortress.
"Lord Walker!" Higg gasped and said to Walker, who was still roaring, "You lost, and now that the Glenn Fortress is mine, will you die or live?" ”
Walker said angrily: "Despicable villain, with your little soldiers, you dare to say that you have taken the fortress, even if you catch me, I still have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and you will not exceed 3,000 at most, and now you say that the fortress belongs to you, is it too early?" ”
"Lord Walker!" Higg smiled, pointed in the direction of the Ural Gorge, and said, "You can see clearly, my 50,000 soldiers and horses can reach the gate of the fortress within two minutes, the fortress gate, the city gate tower, and the arrow tower are all under my control, you only have one military camp left, and the chaotic troops of less than 30,000 can block the attack of 50,000 people?" Even if you break through with all your might, you won't be able to survive a few, right? ”
Seeing Walker's stunned expression, Higg threw the fortress token to Thomas and said, "Immediately hand this token into the hands of General Gamble and tell him that Master Walker has surrendered!" ”
Walker's eyes were flushed with rage, "Bah, despicable villain, don't expect my people to believe your nonsense!" ”
Higg smiled: "I don't believe in the relationship between the eyes, at least they know that their leadership is in my hands, and there will always be some!" ”
Walker said angrily: "Our barbarian country, the water kingdom and your Alasia country have been at peace for more than twenty years, why did you suddenly attack my fortress today? ”
"Lord Walker!" Higg said with a smile, "You don't come to the thief to catch the thief, your 300,000 military horses, in no more than three days, will reach the Ural Grand Canyon." When you take our Kuba fortress, will you still say anything about the sudden attack after more than 20 years of peace? It is you who are treacherous, and now you are the ones who want to be reasonable, hahaha! ”
Walker smiled: "Hahaha, even if you take the Gran Fortress and the army arrives in three days, can you stop the pace of the army?" Does your Fifth Legion still have the strength to hold the fortress of Kuba? ”
Xige said coldly: "Lord Commander, you have calculated my family background very well, but your family background, I don't know it, let's not laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps!" Our Fifth Legion does not have extra troops to reinforce the fortress, but where are you barbarians with any 300,000 troops in our Fifth Legion? The barbarians are now at war with the Cyclops tribe, and your king is in a hurry! Unexpectedly, your Second Legion actually traded with Arad privately at a time of national crisis, and sent troops to put pressure on the Fifth Legion, wanting to intervene in our civil war in Aracia, hehe, we had to strike first! ”
"Nonsense!" Walker said angrily, "Without His Majesty's will, how could the Second Legion privately participate in your civil war?" ”
"If the Commander doesn't believe it, I can't help it!" Higg sneered, "I don't need to talk to a defeated general, the reason why I captured your fortress is to tell you and your majesty that although there is a civil war in Erathia, and although the Fifth Legion is chaotic, one corps is more than enough to deal with your barbarian country!" I would like to advise you, it is best not to act rashly, otherwise, when the soldiers come to the royal city one day, don't blame us for not warning us in advance! ”
The three thousand cavalry first passed through the gate of the fortress and went straight to the barracks, and Higg ordered Walker, to the tower of the city gate, and said loudly to Habaisa, who was about to enter the fortress: "Your Excellency, your companion is stubborn, I think he needs fifteen minutes to think about it, and after fifteen minutes, if the people in the barracks do not surrender, your lord will not be polite!" ”
Habaisa laughed and said, "Okay, Mr. Angela, I'll give him fifteen minutes, hahaha!" ”
……
Gampochi holds the military token of the fortress, but he doesn't know what it is for? In this kind of chaotic scene, there is no control at all, do you want to take the token and go forward and reason with the enemy, saying that your leader has surrendered, you should also surrender such nonsense? The dark night, the messy barracks, who can see what you take, who can hear what you say. Therefore, after the sign handed over by Thomas, Gampoch did not act according to the script at all, and for him, blocking the entrance and waiting for reinforcements was the most important thing. Although the 1,000 dead soldiers are very strong in combat and are not afraid of death, after all, the number is too small, even if some reinforcements from Andrew and Johnson are difficult to completely block. The enemy's breakout has eased a little now, but Gamboch knows that the next wave of breakout will be an organized breakout, and he will not be able to resist it no matter what.
……
Higg smiled, "Lord Walker, in ten minutes, my troops are about to launch a general attack, do you have to watch your men die one by one?" ”
Walker said: "Losing the Gran Fortress, whether it is a soldier or a commander, it is difficult to escape death, rather than die in the hands of his own people, it is better to fight to the death, pull a few cushions, hahaha, at least not so humiliating!" ”
Higg laughed, "But if the fortress is lost and regained, will you also be executed?" ”
Walker asked, confused, "What do you mean?" ”
Higg smiled: "In this way, I will only borrow the fortress for fifteen days, and after fifteen days, I will return it to Lord Walker, including all the soldiers and equipment, I don't want anything, how about it?" ”
Walker was even more puzzled: "Give it back to me?" What exactly are you going to do? ”
"The Ural Gorge was originally a peaceful coexistence of three families, and it was you who first destroyed this principle, of course I just taught me a lesson!" Higg laughed, "Of course I still want to continue to live together peacefully and not be taken advantage of by some villains." In that case, what's the use of me asking for this Gran Fortress? If I disrupt the balance first, then Mizusawa will also turn around against me, our Fifth Legion is not yet capable of dealing with your Barbarian Country and Mizusawa Country at the same time, so Gran Fortress is a hot potato for me, it is better to give the adults a favor, everyone gets along well, there is no need to add swords, isn't it? ”
Walker thought for a moment and said, "Why should I believe you?" If you surrender and you are treacherous, what can I do with you? ”
"Lord Walker, I've made it clear to you that I want this fortress to be useless, and our Fifth Legion has no intention of going to war with the barbarian nations, and neither do you! If I do occupy the fortress, it will really cause a real confrontation between the two countries, and I don't think your majesty will want to go to war with us at this time! How's it going, Lord Walker? ”
"Hmph, do I have a choice?" Walker said angrily: "I have three conditions, first, I am not allowed to kill my subordinates again; secondly, it is forbidden to use the fortress against the men of our Second Legion; After the third and fifteenth days, I will take over the fortress completely, and not a single one of you will remain in the fortress! ”
"I can't say yes to the second one!" "Pray that you Second Legion men better not attack the fortress, or this will be their grave!" ”
"Okay, but it must be stated that we are a deal, not a surrender!"
