Chapter 252: No Winter and Rain One

No Winterfell.

Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it!

Bivis looked at the tens of thousands of Luskan troops under the city, as black as wheat, and the pressure was boundless, and the heavy pressure pressed on his heart like a mountain!

"Come a few people, take this ...... Brother carry it down, and clean up this piece, hurry up! Bivis said, pointing to the messy walls. There was a soldier curled up in a corner with his stomach clutched, a pool of dark red blood under him, and the road was blocked by a half-burned firewood cart.

He must have died in the last siege, but he didn't move out in time. Logically speaking, these "clutter" will affect the next wave of defense, in fact, everyone knows that it is to not affect morale...... The best way to fight a defensive battle is to fight with your head and brain, and the soldiers are ignorant of the surrounding situation! Command? What a command! How can you command when you kill the top?

The commander has to command the reserves, and the soldiers who rush to the head of the city generally can't pull back. The kind of command that temporarily draws people from the eastern city wall to support the western city wall is pure nonsense! In a defensive battle, the morale of the people will collapse as soon as they leave, and who knows if you will be transferred or flee?

From bloody killing to nervous numbness, rushing to the head of the city and dying there, this is the best soldier in the eyes of the commander...... If you wait until you're tired and paralyzed, and you wake up and look up to see corpses all around you...... It's over, and all of a sudden my mood collapses!

So this is the job that Bivis is leading people to do now, taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers are still lying on the city wall panting, and quickly move the corpses that affect the most morale first.

Several city guards came over to clean up with numb faces, and Bivis also stretched out his hand to work together with his head bored - it was not that he had nothing else to do, but he didn't know what to do...... Thousands against tens of thousands, how should this battle be fought? To be honest, his heart was at a loss.

But he couldn't show it, thousands of people in the city and under the city, as well as the one in the Blue Palace, were staring at him.

Ever since taking Elibes' place, Bivis has felt that something is wrong.

Now he finally understands that the pit is here...... Not only him, after the first day of attack and defense, the Neverwinter people all came to their senses as if they had been slapped on the head!

Then it became desperate...... They've lost Erebes!

*****

In the past, both Nasher and Bevis felt that Erebeth had a flaw in his character.

Sister A is too square and serious, both for the citizens and for her subordinates! In modern parlance, the emotional intelligence in the workplace is a bit low, and people like her are not suitable to be commanders at all. If there is no Bivis to act as a lubricant in the middle, Erebes is afraid that he will be united by his own subordinates to resist!

Because the salaries of the city guards in this era are extremely meager, and they have to maintain and repair their own equipment, they will really starve to death if they don't extort and collect some extra money. But Erebeth couldn't accept this, she would rather force Nasher to raise her salary while paying for her subordinates herself, rather than want them to do that kind of thing!

Because she knew that great sins start small, how could someone who could receive one gold coin refuse the temptation to get a hundred gold coins? So she tried her best to prevent it, so that the contradictions could not be reconciled, after all, no matter how big the personal charm involved was, it was useless!

At this time, it is up to Bevis to get out of the horse, and he will make up a little bit here and dig there, and the matter will be over...... After a long time, it is inevitable that Bivis will have the illusion that "I am important". In fact, the city guards are all maintained by him, and they can't do without him!

So when Lord Nasher hinted at letting him replace Erebes, Bivis hesitated for a few days, but silently complied.

But today he knew he was wrong, and he was wrong!

What are the most critical qualities of being a commander? It's not that you're like a family with your subordinates, it's not that you're well-known! It's when a section of the wall is in danger, you have to be able to kill it! Kill through the entire city wall and take back the position!

This kind of thing, and Rebes does! Because she's a legend!

When she was suspended in the air and stood on a city wall, no one dared to attack in her direction, even if she was alone!

But Bivis can't, he doesn't have that deterrent. He could only stand on the city wall and struggle, and he heard someone shouting, "There's an official over there, kill him!" "And then the pressure was overwhelming...... If he doesn't retreat, the wall may be breached.

At this time, I realized that everything in the past was illusory and nonsense, and only strength was eternal!

Not only him, but Arthur, the new hero of Neverwinter, was also beaten back to his original form in one day - Arthur and his team have been held for so long, and they are really desperate to go up the city wall!

But things in the world are sometimes like this, it's not that you just have to work hard, you have to have strength!

When it comes to adventures, less powerful squads can also take advantage of various advantages to challenge legendary success, as is the case with Arthur's defeat of Deszel.

But when the two armies are in short battle, there are no heroes! You burst the seed...... You have to be able to win! They held out for less than ten minutes after ascending the walls before being defeated in a wave of Archnid charges......

The next thing is naturally the warmth and coldness of people, how high you were held before, and how ruthless you are stepping on now.

Now, no matter how dark Erebeth is, no one will believe that the Crossroads Fortress is collaborating with the enemy, and there will be no evidence to show - because what the people of Winterfell hope for most now is that legendary figure to appear on the city walls again!

*****

Under the gloomy sky, the five magic towers built around the walls of Winterless were in full swing, and bright magical lights shone over the city from time to time.

The smoke of gunpowder fills the sky, and people are like ants.

A large invisible shroud enveloped Neverwinter, and the magic tower sealed off the city's space, preventing enemies from teleporting directly into the city to bloom inside and out, while constantly releasing magic to attack enemies near the city walls.

A huge lightning chain can empty a city wall in an instant!

A dense rainstorm of fireballs burned the reptile array into blanks!

And the target of Lu Sican's attack is also to cross the city wall to attack the magic tower, which is the focus of the wrestling between the two sides.

However, the city wall was filled in the next moment, and the blank space was trampled by reptile soldiers in the blink of an eye! The reptilian soldiers seemed endless, but the magic tower of Neverwinter was a little weak, and had to suspend the release of spells from time to time.

This was the source of Luskan's confidence in taking Neverwinter - in addition to their 10,000 elites, they also had 70,000 reptilian soldiers, which was an unprecedented scale of march. Besides, those reptilian soldiers are all cannon fodder in their eyes, and they are not afraid of casualties at all!

But the combat effectiveness of the reptile soldiers is not weak! There are many "varieties" of reptilian soldiers, with different forms, like insects and animals more than humans. But without exception, all of them have sharp claws, agile movements, and even many arms to hold weapons.

The vertical city wall is not a natural moat for reptiles at all, and many kinds of reptile soldiers can walk freely on the vertical city wall, which makes the soldiers defending the city under great pressure.

This kind of battle is torment for Bivas, like the end of the city guard, but it is really only a tentative attack for the real commander...... Appetizer.

Because the real combat power - the legendary powerhouses of both sides, both inside and outside the city - are all silently watching, looking for the flaws of the other party. They are the ones who can really decide a war, and ordinary people, no matter how many deaths, are still supporting roles in this war...... No, maybe not even a supporting role.

Some people may say, then why don't you let the legend directly come to the life and death battle? Since the battle of ordinary people is meaningless, can't it be simply not fought? There are still fewer dead people. Hehe, in the past, some people proposed not to fight World War II, but to give Qiu Fatzi and Hitler a pistol for them to duel...... Class is a happy person number, and ordinary people will not understand.

No matter how big the number is, what does it have to do with me.

……

But Luskan will not delay too long this time in his southward journey.

Lu Sikan had three certainties in attacking Neverwinter this time, the first was the unexpected extra army of 70,000 reptiles, and the balance of power between the two sides was extremely widened; The second is that the Crossroads Fortress is unexpectedly easy to talk about, and it gives four or five more days to march into the army; The third is the guilt they bought in Neverwinter...... After all, the monkey is always the first to run before the tree falls.

But some of the monkeys not only ran first, but also turned around to help cut down the trees.

As for saying that the reinforcements in Waterdeep were delayed for a week, it was a complete surprise, their spies in Waterdeep were not that high-level, and even at this moment Luskan didn't know about this "good news".

"Why haven't those old rivals in the city moved? What about Linton? Hasn't Antoine always liked to be in the limelight? Why can't you see it? In Lu Skan's camp, the mage who thought he was wearing a red robe frowned and said.

"I don't know, didn't you say that Antoine disappeared a while ago?" Another said.

"You believe? I don't believe it! The red robe sneered, "If you don't disappear sooner or later, you won't disappear late, it's at this juncture." I'm even skeptical of the breakup between Erebis and Nasher, because the acting is too heavy, and it looks a bit fake. If you were Erebes, would you leave behind the business you had been doing for more than ten years and run to the desolate fortress alone? ”

The other two immediately shook their heads, and they would definitely not want to!

They had fought Erebeth many times, and they knew that the commander was a little pedantic but not stupid, and even had a bit of a taste of unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, and he must not be treated as an ordinary paladin.

A group of surface commanders were in the front battalion, and these three real commanders were in the rear battalion.

The legendary powerhouses on both sides have roughly all the hearts in their hearts, but Luskan does not know that Antoine has been killed, and Linton has been excluded from the core of power and is trembling and waiting to be punished, neither willing nor powerless about the war outside the city.

In the eyes of the legendary powerhouse of Luskan, the other party did not show up when the city wall was almost captured several times, and the eight achievements were planning other conspiracies. When it comes to the number of legendary powerhouses, my side really doesn't have an advantage.

In that case, we can't sit back here!

"No, you can't just watch like that, I have to force them out." The red robe stood up and said to the other two, "You command the army to retreat, and I'll test it with a meteor burst!" ”
