At the first moment, the fortress on the cliff path outside the port of Fatan was declared lost, and the guards at the head of the city were caught off guard by the Stygian steel arrows shot from the darkness and nailed to the city wall, and the blood was frozen before it could be filled. The skeleton slammed the door with a siege machine under the command of the corpse witch, and the soldiers in the barracks realized that something was wrong, but they were already under siege, and the resistance in the fortress only lasted for a moment before it died down, and all the more than 30 Hong Kong Guard soldiers in the barracks were killed.

The port of Fatan was built as a fortress for the fleet to be stationed, it was located between a sea cliff, only two narrow mountain roads connected the port to the outside road, the Imperial Navy built a sea cliff fortress on these two mountain roads, the fortress is facing the valley leading to this sea cliff, one side is close to the cliff, one side is close to the sea, it can be called a husband and a man, and five hundred meters behind the fortress, is the main city wall of the port of Fatan, between these five hundred meters is still a mountain road and tidal flats, but the terrain is still much slower and flat than the previous section.

At this moment, Baron Ludwig and Delphine were located on the main wall of the sea cliff fortress five hundred meters behind, which was already covered with the forces of the White Lion Guards and the Port Guards, but under the order of the prime minister's daughter, they extinguished all the torches and held their breath without making a sound. The walls were pitch black, and several wizards opened spell enchantments to shield the breath of the living, and spells enveloped the entire length of the wall.

The baron watched the sound of resistance in the fortress a few hundred meters away finally cease and immediately return to darkness, he turned back to the indifferent Delphine with great annoyance and said, "Since you already knew about the undead attack, why didn't you let them prepare for it and give the fortress to others?" I know you have an old rift with those Eruins, but you can't pull us to your end. ”

He said it very badly, but ten times worse it didn't make Delphien frown, but she couldn't stand the stupid noise. replied coldly: "As the military commander of this fortress, please show a little basic military literacy, don't laugh and be generous in front of people, I didn't want to remind you, but I was afraid that you would lose the face of the empire in front of the guests." ”

"What did you say!"

Baron Ludwig was about to have a seizure, when Count Orcons, who was on the side, hurriedly pulled him aside. He knew that although Ludwig was the master of the port of Fatan, in fact, it was the fleet commander stationed in the port who was responsible for maintaining the operation of the port and managing the fleet, and Baron Ludwig did not have much military quality, but was just a local lord, but he himself had already seen the chancellor's intentions, she was to let these undead in, so that the priest had the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

This more than 500-meter-long narrow and rugged sea cliff mountain road under the main wall of Fatan Harbor cannot be easily exited once they enter, so as to ensure that their 'hole cards' can play the greatest effect.

It's just that the main walls of the port of Fatan are not high. At just over eight meters, it is not enough to see in the fantasy world, because the sea cliff fortress outside the harbor is too strong, and the original architects did not continue to raise the wall because of the load-bearing load of the sandbar inside the harbor. Now the Count of Orcons regretted it very much in his heart, and secretly slandered the original designer and builder for cutting corners, in any case, for an imperial fortress, it should not be spared no effort to inject magic into the ground to strengthen the sandbar to build a fortress wall of more than thirteen meters, or even the standard of the main city wall of ten meters, then it would not be so worried now.

What's more, the distance from outside the main wall of Fatan to the Sea Cliff Fortress is mostly a narrow Sea Cliff Mountain Road. However, near the main city walls, especially under the city gates, there is an open sandbar terrain, which is very conducive to the undead to deploy their forces. There are not many troops left in the port of Fatan, among which there are more than 1,000 people left in the port guard, and about a few hundred people in the personal guard of the Eruin envoy group, once the 'hole card' cannot be effective, this person can not hold the port at all relying on the low main city wall and unfavorable terrain, and maybe even the 'hole card' has not had time to move to the position, and the defense line is already in a hurry.

But he didn't dare to express his worries. It was only after explaining to Baron Ludwig, and after listening to the explanation, the latter calmed down and stopped talking. But Enide, who was beside Ernnie, seemed a little unbearable and questioned: "Even so." You should also inform the people in front of you to withdraw, that's more than 40 lives, how can you let them die in the dark? ”

Delphine gave her a cold look: "Woman's kindness." ”

"You-"

Delphine thought for a moment, understood that his current position was still on the side of these Eruins, sighed, and explained: "Even if I send someone to inform them, the order given is to let them stay to the end, but I know that they will definitely not do this, they will also die by the sword of the military judge when they escape, why not let them be heroes without knowing it, this result is at least better for their families." ”

Enid's wide-eyed eyes sparkled and she turned back in disbelief and asked, "Is that so, Chiara?" ”

The little girl nodded helplessly: "Almost." But she immediately stared at Delphine and asked, "But more importantly, you want them to die more realistically, right?" ”

"Almost," replied Delphien, equally noncommittally, "they are soldiers, and I have the right to choose how they should die, as long as victory is achieved, and in war there are only orders of stupidity and wisdom, and there is no distinction between cruel and good orders." ”

It was snowing and raining, and the slightest bit fell on the faces of the girls present, Enid and Oni frowned, and the elf and her pseudo-dragon lay on the wall together to see what was going on outside—but because she was so short that she could only stick her forehead out of the battlements even if she tried to stand on tiptoe, and Chiara looked indifferent, and Delphien looked calm and indifferent, and the raindrops slid down her smooth and beautiful countenance, and along her ugly and uneven scars.

On the other hand, the Count of Orcons on the side agreed more with this sentence, thinking that she was worthy of being a woman known as the flower of the empire, after all, there was no vain under the fame.

At this time, there was a slight noise in the darkness in the distance, and everyone present knew that the undead had opened the gates on the other side of the fortress and were about to attack the port of Fatan. Delphine stopped arguing and turned back to the Harbor Guard officers on the side and gave an order, "Knight Captain Shelut! ”

"In!"

"I command you to lead your men out of the city at once and fight the undead. Attack Sea Cliff Fortress and reclaim the southern section of the fortress! ”

"What!" Baron Ludwig jumped in shock, and almost let out a low roar from his throat: "Vicious woman, you can't be so chaotic, how dare you let my people go out of the city to fight against the undead who are hundreds or thousands of times more numerous than them, you are crazy." We only have that little manpower, do you really want to give up Port Fatan? ”

Orcons also frowned, and persuaded: "Miss Delphien, our troops are not enough, if it is in the Sea Cliff Fortress, it is fine, but here we go out of the city to attack from the back, whether it is in terms of troops or terrain, it is extremely unfavorable for our side." ”

Unfazed, Delphine replied indifferently: "Am I the commander or are you the commander?" I would like to remind you that my command is under the authority of both the eldest son of the Emperor and the Count of Toniger. I have supreme command here, and you must obey my orders unconditionally, why, do you want to disobey the orders of the army or do you want to defect? ”

"You—" Baron Ludwig's face turned blue, "do you want us to die, and we must obey unconditionally?" ”

"First of all, I want to correct your mistakes, I can't let my soldiers die in vain, and secondly, you got it right. Even if I were to let you die, you must obey unconditionally—" Delphine sat in a wheelchair in the rain. He replied word by word: "Of course, you can object, I welcome you to go and ask His Royal Highness the eldest son for advice to remove me from the position of commander, it will only take a quarter of an hour from here to the line of the eldest son of the emperor, and I expect that it will be about this time until the battle begins, and there is not much time left for you." ”

Baron Ludwig's lips trembled with anger. Marjorie on the side frowned, stepped forward and replied, "Miss Delfin, let's go first, the White Lion Guards are ready." ”

Who knew that the prime minister's daughter glanced at him coldly: "Shut up, did I let you express your opinion." Get the hell out of here! Knight Commander Marjorie, I don't think I need to tell you what a soldier should do, my orders are not negotiable! ”

A bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, and the faces of all those present turned white, stunned, angry, or interested, except for Delphien, who never changed his color.

She looked at Xue Lu on the side again and asked, "Knight Chief, is it your knightly honor that makes you hesitate and cringe at this moment?" ”

Xue Lute's face changed, he glanced at the direction of the dark Sea Cliff Fortress outside the city, and finally nodded heavily: "I understand, Madam Commander." ”

……

The process of taking the Sea Cliff Fortress went more smoothly than expected, and the plan seemed to have achieved the desired effect, the inhabitants of Fatan Harbor and the Eruin people stationed here were really unprepared, they must have been in a hurry for this sudden solar eclipse, and they didn't realize that the Empire would attack at this moment, Sok was walking up a flight of stairs to the southern section of the wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress, and then he looked up at the port of Fatan, which was dotted with lights, and it seemed that he had suffered from a sudden solar eclipse, There are a lot of people on the street.

He is a subordinate of the Raven Cavalry Regiment of the White Legion, a subordinate of the Great Knight Harden, the Wild Bull Harden has always acted as the vanguard of the Legion, and this time is no exception, Sock and several other Knight Captains are mainly responsible for coordinating and observing the attack of the undead on the front line: according to expectations, the undead will form the first wave of this sneak attack, because in the case of a solar eclipse, their abilities will be greatly improved, while the human legion will be weakened by Yanzhòng, with the help of this advantage, the undead will attack the Sea Cliff Fortress and the outer walls of Fatan Harbor, And throw into street fights, it doesn't matter if it is a grinder, they can afford to consume anyway.

The main enemy of the White Legion was the fleet of the Bugas anchored in the port of Fatan - from the beginning to the end, the Duke of Ambunar believed that the fleet anchored in the port of Fatan was controlled by the Buga, and that the Eruin were just a front, how could the Eruin have such a powerful fleet?

At present, the situation on the front line observed by Sok was very good, and he saw the skeletons open the southern gate of the Sea Cliff Fortress under the order of the corpse witch, and released a small group of skeletons for a tentative attack.

The skeletons descended along the mountain path, and farther away, the direction of the main wall of Port Fatan was pitch black, not even the slightest fire, and there was no movement, and the message from the corpse witch in front of them indicated that there were only a few breaths of the living on the wall, which was also expected, and it seemed that this was indeed an undefended harbor - at least for now.

But for some reason, there was a faint uneasiness in Soke's heart, he had told a few of his colleagues about this uneasiness before, but he was ridiculed for being too cautious - in the mouth of the cavalry under the brute Harden, prudence actually means cowardice, he naturally could not accept this assessment, and he came to the southern section of the wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress at this time to prove his thoughts.

But for now, at least, it does seem that he is too suspicious.

Soke thought to himself that maybe it was because this battle was too easy to fight, and it was easy to make people unbelievable, but the twenty or thirty Hong Kong Guard soldiers killed by the undead before really didn't seem to know about it, and it seemed that there should be no traps in it. He stood on top of the city wall, took one last look in the direction of Fatan Harbor, and was about to walk down the city wall, but it was too cold outside, and several of his colleagues did not want to stay in this ghost weather, so they had already found a warmer-looking place in the barracks to hide.

And it was at this time that the knight captain Xue Ruth from the port of Fatan led a small group of his men to a place not far beyond the southern wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress, and according to Delphion's orders, they brought a wizard, this wizard was a Toniguer, who was not very familiar with the others, but silently maintained a spell of the breath of the dead in the team.

Xue Lut, who was walking in the front, made a gesture to stop the whole team, and not far in front of him was a 'small team' of undead who were coming out of the fortress, and in the cold light, a forest of white forests, like a forest of bones, there were hundreds of corpses - no way, for the undead, this was a 'small team' of skeletons.

Xue Lut frowned, the Hong Kong Guard is not the first-line army of the Cruz, he and his men can barely reach the silver level, but it is still a bit of a headache to face more than a hundred skeletons, not to mention how many are behind the fortress, he raised his head and took a look, and found that there was an abrupt shadow on the southern section of the wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress not far away, and hurriedly turned around and whispered to his subordinates:

"See, it's a corpse witch, these low-level skeletons are actually commanded by the corpse witch, as long as we kill the corpse witch who commands them, they are not threatening. David, take out the holy water you received, pour the arrow, and we'll kill that guy with one arrow!" ”

"Just get it done, and I'll give you credit!"
