Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Siege of Baishan City (2)
Although these two groups of recruits like Dylan did not inherit the very strong war skills and tactical skills of the veterans of the June War, some of the battle theories of those veterans were still absorbed.
Generally speaking, when the materials used in the fortress to prevent the bone frame from filling the moat or ditch are used up, there is basically no way to stop the pace of the bone frame siege. A very fierce battle for the city wall is definitely going to be staged......
"I don't know how many brothers will survive this war......" Dylan shook the hilt of the sword at his waist with his hand, "I don't know what the reason is, after the June War, whether the kingdom has become weaker, or the bone frame has become stronger......"
Even if Dylan was a low-level officer, and he had learned the battle theory of the June War veterans, there was no way to understand that kind of high-level thing. Anyway, he just knew that within a few years since the June War, the kingdom of Rysel was in the northwest and had shown its decline. It wasn't until the Battle of Flowers that the whole decline broke out as a whole.
……
The Lord's Mansion of Hakusan Castle.
White Mountain City is different from Far Winter, including the inner city of the Kingdom of Rysel. Due to its important military function, Hakusan Castle did not have a city hall, but was replaced by a castle lord's mansion with strong defensive capabilities.
The lord of White Mountain City is actually Wendell, the leader of the Frost Legion stationed in the Northwest Province of the Rysel Kingdom.
This Wendell's origin is also a bit mysterious, sitting in the position of the leader of the Ice Cold Legion, how to say that he also has the identity of an honorary viscount, but no one has ever known Wendell's surname. Those who have the same status as Wendell will be called by their names directly, and those who are inferior to Wendell will have one more Excellency. As for the soldiers of the Ice Cold Legion and other ordinary people, they are also called the Legion Commander.
"Wendell." Archbishop Rhodes, who came out of the prophecy master's side, came directly to the city lord's mansion in Baishan City.
"Archbishop Rhodes." Wendell gave Rhodes a salute for no other reason - Wendell was a follower of Bahamut, the "Platinum Dragon".
Archbishop Rhodes also returned the favor to Wendell, as a sign of respect for the commander.
"When is it, do you still care about these etiquette......" Wendell couldn't help but laugh at himself after receiving the salute from Archbishop Rhodes.
Archbishop Rhodes's face was not very good-looking at this time, because although the creature of the bone dragon no longer had the horror of the living dragon, it was a disaster for ordinary soldiers.
"Did Master Rutherford say anything?" Looking at Archbishop Rhodes's face, Wendell naturally knew everything, but since Archbishop Rhodes had just returned from that side, he also asked by the way.
"Worried...... "Archbishop Rhodes sighed, "Master Rutherford now senses his surroundings every day, then fiddles with the crystal ball, and then notes a few characters. When I'm usually fine, I just flip through his magic book a little......"
Wendell nodded and said, "I can understand, because when I meditate, I can feel that there seems to be a strong aura of the dead around me......"
Silently, Archbishop Rhodes has actually felt this way for a long time. Now that he is also a high-ranking priest, he naturally knows the constraints between legends......
"Don't be pessimistic...... As the senior priest of Bahamut, the "Platinum Dragon", Archbishop Rhodes still chose to be optimistic at this time. For him, glory is his life.
Justice, honor, nobility, protection. These are the spheres of the priesthood of the "Platinum Dragon" Bahamut, and they are also the principles of Archbishop Rhodes, who is the senior priest of Bahamut.
"It's not that I'm pessimistic about the battle situation, I've been in the Ice Legion for so many years, and I've seen victory and defeat...... I didn't care for a long time. As for my own life, it was saved by several sergeants, and there was nothing to care about. It's just that I'm worried about the kingdom......" Wendell's expression was a little sad, "The kingdom has ...... after the defeat of the prosperous war If I continue to devastate like this, I really won't be able to see the future of the kingdom......"
Archbishop Rhodes took a few steps forward, walked up to Wendell, and patted him on the shoulder slightly.
"Under the crown of the platinum dragon, an oracle was rarely lowered on the day we opened, and the oracle was still a rare word - 'witness'." After patting Wendell on the shoulder, Archbishop Rhodes pressed his shoulder, then put his mouth to Wendell's ear and whispered softly.
"Witness." Wendell silently repeated the word.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Enter." Wendell came back to his senses and said very succinctly.
"Report to the Legion Commander, the Bone Frame has built two passages to fill the moat, and soon we may face the siege of the Bone Frame." The person who knocked on the door was none other than the herald of the Frosty Legion, apparently sent by the officer in charge of a section of the city walls.
Wendell waved his hand and said, "Got it." ”
The herald naturally knew the meaning of Wendell's gesture, and after saluting, he turned and trotted out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and then closed the wooden door.
"Let's take a look...... "Wendell made a gesture of please, and Archbishop Rhodes nodded, and Wendell walked to the side of the wall.
Twisting the mechanism on the side slightly, a door cracked in the wall. The magic energy lighting in the door was also activated, and it could be seen that it was a relatively narrow stone spiral staircase leading to the upper level of the City Lord's Mansion.
In order to facilitate the observation of the enemy's situation, a secret room with only a few observation openings was built on top of the unusually tall city lord's mansion in the entire Baishan City, and the situation outside the city could be overlooked.
……
At this time, far away in an unknown mountain pass in the White Mountain Range, no longer caring about the defeated cannon fodder skeleton, Ain led the ninety or so people under his current command to start cleaning up the battlefield.
It was because Ain was too fast to solve the leader of the undead knights who still had the memory of power, and then those undead knights who had a little bit of wisdom were a little lacking in fighting spirit, and they wanted to run back, and then they were blocked by the bone frame behind them that had no IQ, and there was no way to retreat, and in the end they were completely annihilated. At this time, those bones without IQ seemed to feel the danger, and they were scattered in a hurry.
Naturally, these cannon fodder scattered around, and it was difficult to wipe out all these skeletons. So after chasing a little distance, Harden also gave the order to retreat.
Ain estimated the time a little as Harden took those veteran militia soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then took a little grass from the pocket on the inside of his already somewhat striped mage robe, and lit it.
