The past few days in White Oak City have been very calm, the Freedom Alliance troops outside the city have not moved, the previous arcane impact has caused great damage to the other party, the alliance troops in the city are only a few thousand, and the troops outside the city are far less dense than when they first arrived, compared with the huge camp and station they established before, their current camp seems to be a little deserted, not as tight and huge as before. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although you can see new troops joining the opponent's army every day, and there are also many wounded soldiers rejoining the battle, but in terms of quantity, they still have a certain distance to replenish their strength, and their strength is only half of the previous one, and it is difficult to recover in a short time.

The defenders of the kingdom finally relaxed a little, although in order to cope with the new means that the other side might use in the city with a lot more arrangements and simple city defense projects, they were also much more relaxed, and even had time to drink a glass of wine during their break. The only pity is that although there is still a trade in goods in the city, prices are skyrocketing, and a silver coin used to be enough to treat two friends to a good meal in a normal restaurant, but now it is only enough to buy a beer in a tavern.

However, for these soldiers defending the city, they are still much more relaxed. And the victory during this period of time also made them more confident than before, they were all waiting for the end of the war, but as experienced veterans, they also knew that there might be a hard battle to fight in the future.

But what the defenders didn't know was that the fighting never stopped, but moved from the ground to the underground.

In the past few days, under the White Oak City, the alliance forces and the kingdom's combat troops have been fighting each other in the underground passage for two days, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and they are not giving in to each other. In order to stop the kingdom's troops, the Freedom Alliance even used bombs to blow up tunnels and bury the kingdom's troops underground. Then take away the magic engine that powers the tower. The kingdom also severed the connection between the engines and the towers, and even nearly destroyed one of them. After several days of fighting, all three engines in the outer city fell into the hands of the Freedom Alliance. Of course, this matter was carried out in secret, and it was carried out by the elite troops brought by General Saion, so the general population and the defenders did not know about it.

The kingdom did not react much after losing three engines, firstly, for the sake of reassuring the people, and secondly, the current task of defending the city was more important than recapturing the engines. Although the Arcane Tower can't be used in time now, the kingdom's troops are not consumed, and the defense of the inner city is also intact, and it is difficult for the opponent's army to gnaw this hard bone, so the kingdom has not given up at all.

And the Freedom Alliance, after seizing the engine, did not make any further moves, they kept silent and did not launch a large-scale offensive operation. However, the generals and strong men of the kingdom also knew very well that the other party's attack was just preparation, their troops were recovering, and one more day of tranquility only meant that when they attacked, the strength would be stronger, and the defense of White Oak City would be more difficult.

In fact, from a certain point of view, General Seon Horner hopes that the opponent will attack now, so as to reduce the losses of the kingdom's troops and force the opponent to withdraw as soon as possible. Although the power center on Mantas's side hopes that the kingdom can defeat this rebel force in one fell swoop, cut them to the roots, and wipe them out of the kingdom's territory. But Seon Horner knew that it was impossible, the strength of the other party was beyond his imagination, and the kingdom's army did not have an advantage in a head-on confrontation, but would be pushed back by the opponent, and it was basically impossible to attack and destroy the opponent.

But Seon Horner is also worried about some things, for him, this battle should be his last battle, losing can be imagined, even if he wins, back to the capital to receive cheers and flowers, he has to retire completely, he feels that he has no hope of advancing in this life, and the remaining energy is only enough to retire. But he was also very worried that even if they won, they would not be able to destroy each other, and with the strength that the other party had hoarded in the south, the kingdom would not only not be able to go south, but would also be harassed by the other party. And when the other party recovers, the kingdom, the most critical obstacle on their development path, will definitely be re-emphasized, and war is still inevitable. And he may no longer be there at that time, and even if he is, he will not have the strength to go to war. With this experience, the opponent's attack will not be able to stop, and the kingdom will still suffer calamity.

Seon Horner sighed and leaned back in a chair by the window, holding a half-sized wine glass in his hand. There were some Kingdom spirits, not a well-known brand, but they were strong. Now the old general's body and mind were not as good as they used to be, and he had become accustomed to relying on strong alcohol to help him stay awake in such battles, which he had always opposed.

General Saion leaned back in his chair, quietly looking at the sky, people came and went next to him, but no one would bother him, they knew that General Saiang's body was getting worse and worse, even the body of the peak combat master could not stop the curse of aging, and the high-intensity work also made his energy begin to deteriorate, in this rare rest time, no one could bear to disturb him and disturb the rest of the old general.

Margor looked at the teacher at this time, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. General Saion, his teacher, was born in a civilian family, and his military exploits were all fought by himself, and for decades, he stabilized the situation of the entire kingdom, becoming a hero of the kingdom and a hero in the eyes of countless people. However, such a hero has never been able to get a knighthood for life because of various rules and regulations and the deliberate suppression of the upper nobles of the kingdom, and when he has begun to enter the twilight of his life, he is still a commoner of the kingdom when he still has to be relied on by the kingdom. Such unfair treatment made him very ashamed of him, who had inherited the position of earl by birth, and all he could do was to respect this teacher as much as possible, inherit his spirit and pass it on.

Cyon Horner quietly looked at the sky, at the white clouds in the sky. And some black dots also began to appear at the edge of his eyes, he blinked his eyes and sighed, this kind of old disease is far away for the strong, but once they become an old man, they will inevitably be affected. When he opened his eyes, the black spots still hadn't gone away, but his expression had changed. He was sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, and that the black spots that were moving in the direction of the inner city were there.

"Assemble the Flying Monster Force now!" General Seon immediately got up from his chair, his instincts telling him that something was definitely wrong, and definitely not just those ordinary bat monsters from before.
