The first round of siege is over.
Without the help of siege equipment, physical manpower alone, even with a heavy iron armor covering.
Even if there is no fear of death at all.
Louis XIV's army still did not make much progress.
The tenacity and strength of the Fallen Leaf City Lord's Mansion as the core of the entire city were vividly displayed at this moment.
Hundreds of years of accumulation, generations of effort.
Let Puerto Rico firmly hold this wave of offensive even when the troops are completely inferior and the troops are completely suppressed.
And he didn't have any tools to defend the city.
"My lord, stand back, the sword soldier has no eyes." The loyal Flynn looked at the dark enemy troops below the city and persuaded him.
From a loyalty standpoint, he is truly impeccable.
"......Retreat," Puerto Rico shook his head and laughed, "Where can I retreat?" ”
"There's no way back here......" he said very lightly, very slowly, very-
Despair.
Flynn couldn't help but feel a kinship.
But what he didn't expect was that Puerto Rico burst out with rare heroism at this moment.
He said, "So, I'm not going back, I'm standing here, I'm ...... To see the dawn of tomorrow!! ”
He said this and looked down.
Because there stood there the same man who would not retreat.
Louis XIV.
He didn't seem to feel Puerto Rico's gaze.
He looked at the seemingly impenetrable walls, and only raised his eyelids slightly.
The defeat in the first attack did not come as a surprise to him, and he was perfectly comfortable with the result.
In fact, what he was concerned about now was not at all whether he could break through the city in front of him.
Because the destruction of the city is almost inevitable.
His focus was on those who were hiding in the shadows.
Those who are ready to make yellow finch.
I have to say that this is really a dangerous move.
Of course, he knew that as long as he made a move, he would become the target of public criticism, and all the spearheads would be pointed at him.
But he didn't have a choice.
He can only force the people in the shadows to make a move with a strong attack.
This is the fastest, but also the riskiest move.
Even a little longer, Louis XIV would not have used such a risky trick.
Because this is completely a bet on the last gas of the Presidium royal family.
But. He ran out of time.
From the moment he decided to send troops, the hourglass of his fate had already entered the countdown.
He had no idea when those deep undercurrents would come out to snipe at his fate.
He can only plunge headlong into the deep sea and ignore it, and if he dies, he will sink to the bottom of the sea.
Now, the sand in the hourglass is only the last bit.
He stood there as if he could hear the sound of sand passing in his ears.
He was powerless to stop it, so he could only stand and wait for the most terrible impacts.
Standing. Until death.
"Boom———" with another sound of neat footsteps.
The second round of the offensive began.
This time, his subordinates used the materials of the houses they had temporarily looted and made improvised siege equipment, which seemed to be determined to win.
————————————
"Wait a little longer."
Silence, who had already driven the ninja legion to the outside of Fallen Leaf City, did not make a move.
He's still waiting.
Behind him were a silent group of Balanced Sect elders.
Everyone here understands that no matter whether this battle is won or lost, the Equilibrium Sect will be dealt a big blow.
It's good to win, but it's also very likely to bear the reputation of killing the king, and even if it can be pushed to outsiders at that time, it's unclear in the end.
And if you lose, although it will not be ruined in a moment. However, the talents in the church have died seven or eight out of ten, and the talents have withered to the ground, which is also a decline that has not been seen in the past thousand years, and in recent years, due to the ineffectiveness of the fight against Noxus, the name of equilibrium is declining, and there is a great enemy in the world, and the year of death may be able to save the decline.
But once you die, I'm afraid you're really going to collapse.
So everyone was silent.
For the darkness of the future, like this night.
"Maybe we shouldn't have come. If we had turned back to Mt. Tianwang in the first place...... "After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but say.
"What are you talking about, are you blaming Lord Lonely? You are bold!! ”
In fact, what he said is not unreasonable. Originally, the foreign enemy was small, if we take Tianwang Mountain and sweep away the troubles, then at that time, we can attack and retreat, and we will not end up in the current situation......"
"I can't say that. Lord Lonely's decision is also for the sake of my balanced qi, but who would have thought that Louis would be treacherous and come to attack us regardless of the overall situation, they should have been a deterrent for us......"
"What's the use of saying that now, alas......"
"Alas......"
Silence listened to these words so quietly and slowly closed his eyes.
He was not angry. It's just that the tiredness of his age has flowed in his eyes.
He was tired.
Tired.
Seeing the silence, everyone slowly closed their mouths, feeling apprehensive in their hearts.
In any case, silence has always been the supreme existence of the Equilibrium Sect.
Many of them began to wonder where they had the courage to say such a thing.
After a long time, Silence reopened his eyes and said with great calm: "All finished?" Anything else you'd like to say? ”
No one answered, and everyone bowed their heads tremblingly.
"Then attack." Or calm.
Or despair?

"Isn't he here yet?"
In the tents that had been put out of the makeshift order, most of the top brass of the Ionian coalition were already present:
Karma, Irelia, Balzac, Kenan, Akali.
Only one Chen Senran was missing, and he didn't arrive for a long time.
"He's not coming." Karma was silent for a moment.
The audience was silent as soon as these words came out, because there were too many things hidden behind this sentence that could not be said explicitly.
He ...... No, it won't. After a pause, it was finally Irelia who spoke for Chen Senran.
Balza, on the other hand, was more and more silent, as if he had acquiesced to something.
At this time, the soldier who had gone to invite Chen Senran came back.
The answer he brought back was Chen Senran, along with Li Qing and Graves, who were gone.
It was gone, and even Irelia's face turned pale.
Because she also had to admit that maybe ......
"General Barr, you go." Karma suddenly spoke, "After all, we fought side by side, and you saved my life, so don't let it go." ”
“…… Good. Balzac nodded, didn't say anything more, and began to walk out, and when he was about to go out, he whispered, "Take care, maybe next time......
Maybe the next time we met, he didn't go on.
But everyone knew what he was going to say, but the words were too hurtful.
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
In the entire tent, Irelia was the only one muttering distractedly, "He won't ......" (to be continued......
