Chapter 426: Rescuing the Great Prince

The Earl of Longlee stood on the ruined city wall, looking at the soldiers of Yus who were rushing like ants below, and his mood was extremely depressed. It was now the seventh day of the siege, and in those seven days they had repelled numerous attacks by the enemy, but the enemy had gathered more and more, from a few thousand men to nearly 50,000 now. Two days earlier their first line of defense had broken and had to retreat to the foot of the castle. The castle was built on the hillside, and the other side of the mountain was a cliff, and the enemy could not attack, so they could concentrate their forces on the side of the hill to defend without worrying about the enemy on their backs, which was also an important reason why they were able to hold out until now. Even so, after a few days of fighting, the original seven thousand soldiers now have less than four thousand remaining, and morale is on the verge of collapse. For this reason, the Earl of Longley had to use his family's savings for generations to reward the defenders of the city, and the reward for each day of perseverance was ten gold coins, and if he unfortunately died in battle, the reward was doubled. At the same time, the earl himself led his own soldiers to the front line to supervise the battle, and anyone who retreated could directly kill the public, which stabilized the military spirit on the verge of collapse, but the general situation could not be reversed, and defeat was only a matter of time, unless reinforcements appeared, but now it seems that the hope of reinforcements is very slim, and the message of the Northern Army for help Earl Longley has already been sent, but there has been no reply so far, let alone the shadow of a soldier of the Northern Army.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sound of a magic spell sounded in the attacking crowd, followed by a loud bang, and the wall cracked a large hole, and the hard rock turned into gravel and flowed down the breach, and the enemy soldiers rushed up the breach with a shout. The soldiers defending the city immediately met them, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows from under the city, and the defenders immediately fell and the rest turned around and ran.

"Brothers, resist it for me, and retreat to death!"

Earl Longlee brandished the long sword in his hand and roared hoarsely, the overseer showed his broadsword and forced the soldiers to gather towards the gap, and a tragic battle immediately broke out in the rift, and the momentum of the attacker was temporarily suppressed, but the spell of the magician outside the city continued, and the quicksand magic magic continued to act on the city wall, and the Earl Longlee transferred archers to prepare to kill the magicians who cast spells under the city, but because the magician was protected by masters and shields, and the count lacked heavy equipment, it had little effect, and the gap in the city wall continued to expand, and more and more soldiers poured up。

"Someone has surrendered!"

At this moment of crisis, the soldiers brought even worse news, and one of the Earl's lieutenants opened the castle gates and led his men to surrender.

"Alas!"

The Count sighed, knowing that the tide was turning, hurried down the city wall with his own soldiers back to the castle, where the Grand Prince was still waiting for him to return.

"Your Highness, the castle can't be defended, so we'll cover your breakthrough. ”

In the hall, the Earl of Longley met Lawrence, the bearded and haggard prince waiting there.

"Where to go?"

The eldest prince sat on his chair and asked with a vacant gaze.

"This..."

The Earl of Longley was stopped by a word from the Grand Prince.

"Your Highness, let's break through first. ”

Time was urgent, and there was no more time for Count Longlee to explain.

"Yuss no longer has anyone for me. The south is the power of the Holy See, the north is the territory of the orcs, and the east is the territory of the elves. Where is my place?"

The eldest prince stood up and walked to the gate, looking at the bottom of the mountain where the killing sound shook the sky.

"Rather than fleeing for your life, it is better to die here with a bang, and it is worthy of my father's fame. ”

The eldest prince pulled out the sword at his waist, and said in a sad and desperate tone.

"I am willing to follow in the footsteps of His Highness here and be loyal to the Yus Empire!"

Count Longley stood beside the eldest prince and said angrily.

"Okay, let's show the rebels today what it means to be mighty and unyielding. ”

While the two men were talking, the gaps in the city gate and the city wall had been broken through respectively, and the enemy troops poured into the castle gate along the two breaches like a rolling torrent, and the soldiers defending the city saw that their own situation had gone, and they all knelt down and surrendered.

"The eldest prince is in the castle!"

The soldiers rushed in frantically towards the castle gates, while the Earl of Longley led his own soldiers to meet the enemy in front of the castle steps. The battle did not last long before the Earl of Longley was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows, fulfilling his promise of loyalty.

"I'm sorry, old friend. ”

Looking at the corpse of Count Langley, who had fallen on the steps, the eldest prince said with a sad heart. After speaking, he walked to the top of the steps with the feeling of seeing death as home, and shouted with all his strength in the face of the dense army below:

"The Emperor Yus to whom you are now loyal is a despicable villain who killed his father and brother, and I, Lawrence Yuss, am the rightful crown prince of the Yus Empire, and the first heir of Emperor Yus XI. If you abandon the darkness now and follow my right and take back the throne from the usurper, I will not blame you for the past, and I will reward you greatly, and give you all the land and knighthood. ”

Although the hope was very slim, the eldest prince still did not give up making a final effort, but the answer to him was not the oath of allegiance from the mountains and the tsunami, but the life-threatening roar brought by the rain of arrows breaking through the sky.

"Shoot!"

A general was worried that his subordinates would be bewitched by the Grand Prince's speech, so he ordered the Grand Prince to be shot, anyway, the same appreciation as the dead and the living.

"I'm sorry, father, but I did my best. ”

The eldest prince closed his eyes in despair, but instead of expecting the pain of the feather arrow hitting his body, a strange sound sounded around him.

"Tuk-tuk..."

It was as if a shower was beating on the lotus leaves, and it took a while to stop.

The Great Prince opened his eyes in surprise, and suddenly found that his body was shrouded in an earthy yellow shield, the shield was issued by a magic array, and the Great Prince of the magic array was no stranger, it was the Earth Guardian Magic Array of Fama X, who had protected him all the way.

"Archmage Kers, is that you?"

The eldest prince was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout excitedly, and a black figure in a robe slowly fell from the sky. The eldest prince looked intently, but found that the person who came was not a white-bearded old man at all, but a young man in his twenties.

"Your Highness is frightened, I am Alan Kanter, the apprentice of Fama K. Kant, and I have come to your rescue on this trip. ”

The young magician slowly fell in front of the eldest prince and introduced himself.

"You're alone?"

"Of course not, the big army is outside. ”

As soon as Allen's words fell, a military horn suddenly sounded in the distance, this is the besieging party ordering its soldiers to retreat, obviously there is a major incident outside
