After a day's rapid journey south along the Colorado River from the west of Momiji Town, then a map parallel to the location of San Jose's capital Kyoto City, and after an eight-day fast horse journey, 30,000 Desik cavalry approached the outskirts of Kyoto City.

Of these 30,000 people, there are 10,000 Steppenwolf riders and about 20,000 rangers. Many of these Rangers were newly replenished from within Desik. Although they are all recruits, the Desik people's usual style makes them grit their teeth and stick to this journey. Along the way, San Jose, whose domestic defense was empty, could only organize a small number of interceptions, and those local garrisons that seemed to be untidy were followed by a few private soldiers led by local nobles, and they could not effectively block the Desik cavalry.

The Western Frontier Army on the west side of the Colorado River, after discovering the traces of the Desiks, reported layer by layer and then the support troops sent by the Western Frontier Guards General had to follow the Desiks and eat smoke and dust.

The main army of the San Josens, an elite army of more than 150,000 men, under the command of the Minister of War, Count Mosic, was once again entangled with the army of Desik on the Kursk Plain, and there was no time to return to the city of Kyoto.

So when the Desiks rushed all the way to the city of Kyoto, they were confronted only by a few thousand Guards soldiers, who were already young and overly armed and had just been armed to the battlefield. The nervous soldiers, even the weapons in their hands trembled, looking at the fully armed wolf riders, rangers, and murderous steppenwolves under the city, even the cabinet ministers did not know if they were ready.

Red Fort Castle is located on a high ground in the northeast corner of Kyoto Castle, overlooking the whole city. At the top of the Red Keep Tower, Archmage Merlin was looking down. In the square below, ten high-level court magicians, lined up in a pentagram formation, were nervously busy with something. They were still a few last steps away from completing their deployment to defend against the magical barrier, and the Desik army was already approaching Kyoto Castle.

The Emperor of Benin and the cabinet ministers of the Imperial Council were not evacuated from the city of the Red Fort. The glory of the nobility demanded that they should not leave easily, and most of the cabinet ministers believed that the raid of the Desiks was only temporary, and that Count Mosik would return in time. What's more, they have Merlin, they have court magicians.

The wolf cavalry and rangers of the Desik people, who were originally the most effective group of the Desik army, quickly cleared the guard posts outside the city of Kyoto, and the defenders of the Acropolis withdrew to Kyoto City, and the Acropolis also became a temporary residence for the Desik cavalry.

Manstein, the leader of the wolf cavalry who led the team and the deputy head of the Wasteland Samurai Regiment, looked at Kyoto City not far away and the Red Fort City, where the royal family of San Jose was located behind Kyoto City, with mixed feelings. In the argument with Edward VI, he did not receive enough respect, and the glorious and glorious Order of the Warriors of the Wasteland was nothing more than a tool in his hands. After losing most of the Kursk's military strength, they had to follow the emperor's latest plan and make a detour of thousands of miles.

The goal of the Desik soldiers was to one day stand under the castle of Kyoto, but not in this way. Manstein's dignity as a nobleman required him to obey the emperor's orders, so he and the cavalry behind him would do whatever it took to capture the castle of Kyoto. To their north, countless Desik armies are desperately attacking the San Jose Line, giving their lives and blood to buy time.

According to Edward VI's calculations, the Desik army that attacked on all fronts could hold the San Jose army for about fifteen days, and counting the time for them to rush back, Manstein and his men had about eighteen days. And now, eleven days have passed. But rest assured, there are no more than 10,000 people in Kyoto City, counting the aristocratic private soldiers who have almost no combat effectiveness. Edward VI looked into Manstein's eyes, full of trust.

With the emperor's trust in his mind, Manstein could only strengthen his determination, "Let the boys prepare, tomorrow morning, attack the city!"

The Drasic Rangers and Wolf Riders have a strong load capacity. While on the road, the heavily armed Desik soldiers also carried parts of improvised siege tools, which were simply assembled and ready for use. The Desik soldiers, who had set up camp on the Acropolis, quickly got busy, unloaded their loads from their horses, and began to make intense preparations.

So, when the guards and young soldiers of Kyoto City climbed the city wall early the next morning, they saw an army of 30,000 Desik, carrying siege tools and preparing to attack. War horses and Steppenwolf were left aside, and in the face of the walls of Kyoto Castle, these beasts could not help much.

Since the main generals and officers were on the Kursk front, today it is the "Count Lineker" who commands the battle on the city walls, in fact, the old count has long since retired and has been teaching at the Royal Military Academy in Kyoto City. Before his retirement, he was the previous commander of the Guard.

"Don't be nervous, Guardsmen, raise your chests," Lineker pulled out the commander's armor he hadn't worn in years, and carried his ancestral silver sword. Slowly drawing his sword, Thorsilver glittered in the red sun, reflecting the brilliance of the Red Keep, "Guardsmen, raise your weapons, kill every Desik who goes up to the city, and defend this glorious and great city." The city has not fallen for thousands of years, and it will not fall today......"

The Emperor of Benin turned and boarded the carriage without saying a word. The carriage slowly drove away from the walls and headed for the Red Fort to the northeast. In the carriage, Mistress Baerichie was also there, "I think Lineker is also old and confused, what is the use of relying on speeches at this time." As soon as the Emperor of Benin returned to the carriage, he said to Berishi with great dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, rest easy, Lineker's main task is to lead the defenders to hold off the Desik army and give the court magicians time to set up their formations. He was a professor at the Royal Military Academy, and half of the soldiers on the walls were his students, so there was no better choice. Your Majesty, we have to trust Lineker. ”

"Alright, alright, Berish, sometimes I miss your predecessor, the taciturn Dirk. Benin muttered.

The speech on the city wall came to an end, and the soldiers, especially the student soldiers, who had been nervous, gradually relaxed in the nagging of Lineker. It seems that this nagging, and such magic, makes everyone forget the fear of war, as if returning to the classroom of the Royal Military Academy.

The Desic began to advance towards the city walls, these rangers and wolf riders were far better dressed in armor than ordinary Desik soldiers, and the guards on the city walls lacked enough archers, only those dense crossbows, under the control of soldiers, a single salvo could shoot through dozens or hundreds of Desik soldiers.

However, the crossbow is a large weapon after all, and it is also a little powerless in the face of such a large number of enemies. The dense Desik people have also begun to climb the city wall at this time, and those simple escalators have given the Desik people a place to borrow strength, and the brave wasteland warriors quickly climbed the city wall.

"Guards, prepare for battle!" Lineker shouted at the wall, and all the Guards stepped forward in unison, stabbing their weapons under the wall.

"Ahh However, there were also many inexperienced Guards soldiers who were dragged off the city walls by the warriors of the wasteland.

Although the Guards were brave enough, there were too few of them. Dense crowds of Desik climbed the city wall and appeared at various battlements throughout the western section of the wall, with Desik warriors in front of every San Jose soldier who guarded it. Many of the soldiers simply stabbed their swords downwards and their heads were cut off by scimitars from nowhere.

Neither the glory of the Guards, nor the dignity of the Royal Military Academy allowed them to take half a step back. From morning to afternoon, the soldiers on the city walls had already lost a lot. Lineker placed the most elite Guards at the forefront of the city walls, while many of the student soldiers were kept in reserve. However, his original idea of protecting the student soldiers had to die as the battle intensified.

At this time of the war, everyone on the city wall was not spared.

On the tower of the Red Fort City, the cabinet ministers and members of the royal family of the Imperial Council were also nervously watching the results of the battle, and the Emperor of Benin anxiously asked the palace eunuch behind him, "How long is there left on Merlin's side, I see Lineker's side, it's almost unbearable!"

Before the emperor's words fell, the majestic chanting of incantations came from the square in the Red Castle, dozens of court magicians chanted magic together, and a blue barrier began to rise from the root of the wall of Kyoto City, and the blue light curtain that slowly rose began to close above the city wall, and finally formed a huge blue light shield.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the enchantment, the enchantment is up!" the guards beside him cheered. What the Grand Magus of Merlin said was quite magical, and everyone believed in his enchantment.

Sure enough, as the blue light shield rose, the Desik soldiers clinging to the city wall were bounced away by an unknown force and fell directly to the ground. No living creatures were able to enter the walls, and the Desiks who had already climbed the walls were outnumbered and quickly cleared by the Guards. The young soldiers, who couldn't help it, also shot a few more arrows at the Desik army outside the city.

The blue mask also surprised General Manstein, who was not far away. The Dark Mages have been helping the Desiks since the beginning of the war, and all of them have forgotten that San Jose is the only country on the continent with an official mage, the Court Mage.

"General, what is that?" asked the adjutant next to Manstein, who was also puzzled, "I don't know, let the soldiers on the front line quickly find out the information and send it back." ”

As the body of the last Desik soldier was thrown off the wall, the guards in the city began to cheer, the blue magic barrier made the Desik people helpless, and the court magician was their greatest reliance.

At the head of the Red Keep, Archmage Merlin smiled wickedly and turned to look at the Emperor and his cabinet ministers in another tower. Behind him, a court magician bowed and saluted, 'Grand Magister Merlin, everything is ready!'
