Chapter 56: Support that Didn't Arrive

In the fierce battle, most of the warrior mercenaries in the front row were killed and wounded.

Eventually, as one of the mercenaries fled, the front row of the team inevitably began to collapse in a small area, and an obvious gap was revealed at this time.

Seizing on this glaring gap, the hordes of goblins cut past the crowd and lunged towards the mages and archers behind them.

"Run, I can't support it in front. If we don't run, we'll be crushed by the goblin army. ”

Seeing the formation in front of him gradually beginning to collapse, the ranged troops behind also began to stir uneasily.

"Don't panic, keep attacking. Those goblins can't make it. ”

Just as some of the people were about to slip away, they heard it in their ears.

"Lord Commander?" Most of the people who heard the sound turned their heads, and it was Stewart, the commander of the East Gate, who had hurried with a group of soldiers.

"It's the commander, he's here with helpers, and we're saved." People in despair often see what they see as a lifesaver, and that's exactly what they do.

Although Stuart smiled and comforted everyone as he passed by, he knew the situation best.

Except for the soldier who was sent by himself to report the news to the south gate and ask for help, and the soldiers who maintained the magic cannon on the city wall, the other soldiers at the east gate were all outside the city by Stewartra at this time, and there were even those who were completely ineffective in the logistics department.

That's how I finally came up with the "rescue team" in front of me.

As for why Stewart acted the way he did, he knew exactly what he was. Once people's military morale was lost, there was even a large-scale collapse. The seemingly impregnable walls were bound to collapse quickly. From the goblins' attack, he could clearly feel that the opponent was bound to win this attack.

And leading the team out of the city can not only temporarily block the broken defense, but also leave everyone with the illusion that their side has a chance to win.

Still, will their own people be able to hold out until real reinforcements arrive? Anyway, Stewart is not optimistic about the direction of the battlefield at all. But his duty as a soldier made him make this decision. Although this cruel decision could eventually kill everyone outside the city, including himself.

"The offensive at the south gate has slowed down, and some reinforcements have arrived. Here are some of the people who are ahead of the curve. The large forces behind will soon arrive. Hold on a little longer, everyone! ”

With the strength of the team brought by Stewart, there is no problem in filling the gap that has been broken in the front line. So after killing some of the goblins who broke through the defense, the team managed to fill the gap and appear on the front line. As soon as he appeared, Stewart couldn't wait to present the good news to the people who were fighting in front of him.

Hearing this sudden good news, the mercenaries in front of them immediately recovered from their despair. The body, which already had little strength, was squeezed out of a trace of strength again, and after that, the attack of the crowd even suppressed the goblins for a while.

But Nia was well aware of something was wrong during the battle. Let's not talk about the delay in the arrival of the support team that the other party said was good, let's just say that this army was brought up by Stewart, and Nia didn't feel any ability reflection from some of them. You know, the highest priority for entering the army as a soldier is to have first-order strength. It can be seen that this 'support team' is not what the other party said. In fact, Nia will not be the first to see it. But now that the battle is fierce, everyone would rather voluntarily lower their IQ than think about the bad ending.

During the battle, Nia slowly approached the 'Rescue Striker' who looked problematic. As she approached, Nia said to Commander Stewart in the smallest voice she could hear on the battlefield, "Commander, there are no support troops. ”

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Stewart quickly turned around. However, when he saw the child in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

He had already noticed this little girl who was very conspicuous in the team when Nia threw the illumination spell, and even praised Nia for her wit and decisiveness in his heart. But isn't the other party a magician, how did he come to the front line?

But without waiting for the other party to be confused, Nia asked her question again.

In fact, Stewart had long expected this problem to be recognized, but he didn't expect that the first person to raise it was the child in front of him.

"You better go back secretly, the city gate should not be closed, you should be able to enter." Although Stewart was ready to bury everyone here to delay as much time as possible. But in the face of Nia, who was similar in age to his own child in front of him, his iron-like heart was inevitably a little soft.

"So, the Commander doesn't really have any intention of winning, does he?" Hearing that the other party had no intention of denying it, and kindly let herself go back to take refuge, Nia couldn't help but joke. Don't blame Nya for being relaxed at this point, because she has already thought of a possible way to deal with the current situation.

"Commander, I actually just thought of a possible way to salvage the situation." In a homely tone. Nia told the news.

"It's okay, no one will blame you even if you run away now... What did you say? Have you found a way to break through the status quo? Originally, Stewart thought that Nia was still struggling with not wanting to go back, and wanted to comfort her. But he never expected that the other party actually said that there was a way to solve the current situation.

Dodging the other party's powerful hand that grabbed her shoulder because of excitement, Nia replied angrily: "I just have some certainty, but I'm not sure if I can do it." ”

Come back with me, and I'll hear if what you think can work.

Explaining to her lieutenant beside her, Nia and Stewart disappeared from a passage opened in the army and disappeared into the front line.

A few minutes later, Nia and the others were behind the front line.

"What's the method you have in mind?" Impatient, Stewart asked Nia. In fact, under normal circumstances, he would never pay attention to the suggestions made by such a small child, but at this time, he had no breakthrough for the battle situation ahead.

With the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, Stewart accepted Nia's request, not to mention that the other party was the one who sensed the first wave of goblins' attack, maybe she really had some good ideas. Stewart thought.
