Chapter 117: The Battle of Faith (2)
"Shoot the arrows! Watchtower Free Fire! Little bunnies, all aim for me, the Tangnis mongrel's armor is hard, shoot them in the eye! Garrison Officer Duke shouted.
"Sir, this is not easy!" An archer fired an arrow that sparked in the armor of a Tangnis infantryman and bounced to the side.
"Nonsense! Didn't I know you weren't a marksman? Damn, I let you shoot them in the eye, not in their belly button! Bring the bow! Duke snatched the bow from the soldier's hand, set up the arrow, aim, shoot, and did it all in one go. The arrow sank into the eye socket of a Tangnis soldier, the tip of the arrow piercing the side of his neck.
"Did you see it, just shoot like that!" Duke angrily shoved the longbow into the stunned soldier's chest. The soldier licked his chapped lips and couldn't say a word. Fortunately, Duke didn't stay here for too long, he walked back and forth on the walls, directing the soldiers on the walls to shoot.
The Longtalon Checkpoint was not a majestic checkpoint, compared to the metal gates of the Logging Fortress, it had only a drawbridge raised by a winch and a wooden gate. This proves that the Longtalon outpost, which is guarded by a few hundred soldiers, will not last long in the face of an attack by an army of more than 2,000 people - the fall of the Longtalon outpost is a matter of time.
"I estimate that it can hold for 2 hours, and as for more, it depends on the reaction of Fort Longtalon." Duke thought to himself. He could only pray that the Tangnis would not have too many siege ladders and rams, otherwise the dozens of lads blocking the gate would not be able to bear it.
The enemy's siege ladder had not yet been erected, and the Tangnis did not seem to intend to storm the walls - which was unexpected. Moreover, Duke found that the enemy army was not gathering quickly, and although he had never seen such magic, he could probably guess that it was a giant portal that could transport a large number of soldiers from one place to another in an instant. He was ready to be overwhelmed by more than 5,000 troops, but that number was less than half of that now.
Although the soldiers of Tanganis were gathering much less quickly than Duke had expected, this was a welcome event that did not change the fate of the Longtalon Fort outpost in the slightest. However, this is finally encouraging news.
Duke sent heralds to inform the entire Longtalon outpost of the slow build-up of enemy forces, believing that this good omen would boost the morale of the soldiers. Duke has a wealth of experience in warfare, especially in the hearts of soldiers. He knew that in this despair, all soldiers would grasp a ray of light in that despair, no matter how humble it was, it was called a hopeful existence.
Not only that, Duke sent another Blue Speed Dragoon to quickly go to Fort Longtalon to make an announcement. He couldn't figure out why, but with a wise spellcaster like Jorgen's advisor on the side, Duke was confident that Jorgen's wisdom could spot something, something that would help them achieve victory.

"Advisor Jorgen, Longtalon Outpost Intelligence: The Tangnis army is storming the outpost, but there are no siege weapons in sight, only rams. The enemy force was about 2,500 men, and the build-up was slow. The commander was Gegit Exkushin's second son, McGee Exkushin. Gongli hovered outside the window of the council hall and reported to Jorgen.
"Okay, your information is very timely, Ms. Gongli. Then, judging from the previous intelligence, the enemy still has a back hand this time, and they are not carrying heavy siege weapons, I guess it is not that the portal does not allow it, but that it is not necessary. That is, the Tangnes had the means to cross the city walls, and the infantry was only an aid to the fortification. Jorgen said to everyone.
"It's also possible that the army of griffons and golden ears of wheat is holding back. In our plan, both the Black Blood Mountain and the Blood Farm in Tangnis should be attacked. Some time ago, news came from the Logging Fortress that Sandos Griffinhardt's army had been ambushed by the Tangnes Lamb and was guarding the Logging Fortress together. It seems that those two sides are just feints, and the real battle is here. ”
Gerald tapped the floor with the tip of his left wing, signaling that Longtalon was the enemy's main attack.
"We can't assume that the enemy won't have more reinforcements, I thought the portal was a one-off, or wouldn't last long - after all, no magic I've heard of can form such a large, long-lasting, long-spanning teleportation... Wait, I remember Michael as ... That dragon! Damn it! That's not a water snake, that's the dragon of the Qin'a Empire! This is the art of Dragon Teng Dunjia! ”
"The art of dragon dungeon?" Gerald seemed interested.
"Yes, it's a kind of magic called 'magic' among the Qin'a cultivators, and the Qin'a Empire's cultivators are very similar to the wizards, they use all five mana to cast spells and fight. Among those high-level Qin'a Empire cultivators, a few would release such a 'technique'. Michael said that this spell would form a kind of large permanent portal - the spell would not stop as long as the activation circle was there. Damn, it's been so long ago that I didn't think about it for a moment. Jorgen slammed the table with all his might, smashing the glass on it into the air and then landing on it.
"Huh? My animal spirit has responded. Camille said.
Then she recited a low and melodious incantation, and a group of ants crawled onto the table to form a text: "The entire territory of the Black Blood Mountain has been captured, and the human skin harbor will be at your fingertips within two days." ”
"Great! It may take a few days for this news to arrive, so that the enemies of Tangnis have lost the Black Blood Mountain and the Human Skin Harbor, and maybe the territory of Tangenis is also in a hurry. The war is going in a good direction, and Carlo is so happy. Carlo said happily.
"Chief Caro, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Fort Longclaw is still under a lot of pressure. Are Sunderland's troops ready? Jorgen asked.
"Ahh Goenk knows! Goenk! The little goblin sprang out from the wooden door destroyed by Sunderland and jumped onto the table: "Sunderland is such a warrior!" Sunderland has the orc forces ready, and Goimk's forces have been deployed all over Longtalon Fort! ”
"Gongli, give Sunderland an order, the orc warriors set out to support the Longtalon Fort outpost, and fight the white-bladed orc warriors one by one top 10 Tangnis mongrels. Go ahead, Carlo, and watch Sunderland for me! ”
"Okay, Carlo will go, and Carlo and Sunderland will screw the heads of the Tangnis enemies together." Carlo got up from his chair and walked out of the chamber, and Gong Li flew down the window to give orders.
At this time, the words composed by the ants on the table suddenly changed: The entire territory of the blood donation farm has been occupied, and the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce has contributed a lot, and the following is the information of the Chamber of Commerce: There are traitors within the Chamber of Commerce, and some Orzhov angels have been secretly smuggled to Gagette, and these angels have been modified, and they have been sent to the territory of Zamir along with many creatures, suspected to be related to the Elephant Summoner Brand. The Chamber of Commerce discovers the laboratory of the Elephant Summoner Brand in a secret cave in Tangenness, where clues to the dragon virus, the Truth of the Axis and the Black Stripe have been discovered.
"Oh my God! I see why the Tangnis mongrels don't carry siege weapons! The Orzhov Angel who was infected by the dragon virus, the truth of the time axis and the black striat! There must be quite a few of them, damn it! Change the command! Let Sunderland quickly respond to the retreat of the garrison at the Longtalon outpost and defend the Longtalon Fort! Herald! Have all non-combatants in Longtalon enter the secret passages and basements, as well as the vegetable cellar, and evacuate all non-combatants who may be infected. Lord Gerald, the help of the Ella Church in this battle is crucial! Jørgen panicked.
"After the war, I will have a long talk with the Emperor, Gage is by no means unaware, he is about to step on the bottom line. Rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, the eradication of black striation is one of the great tasks of the Church, including the eradication of organisms infected by black striat. Gerald's wings flickered, and it was furious now.
"I'll leave it all to you, Ella bless us." Camille prayed.
"Ella will hear your prayers, Miss Druid, but I would rather you listen to Ella's teachings than pray to her when she finds out about her black striat. Of course, I mean that it's not just Ella's power, fire, and the power of nature that can eradicate black striat. Gerald said.
"Order the soldiers to prepare the brazier, fill me with torches in Fort Longtalon, and deal with the black streak, we must not be careless, all soldiers who are injured by the angels must be treated by nuns and priests within fifteen minutes! The bodies of those who died in battle and the corpses of the enemy, without exception, burned them on the spot. ”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Retreat to Longtalon Fort! Sunderland! Take my men away! Duke, wielding his broadsword, cut down two Tangnis soldiers and shouted at Sunderland at the gates.
"General Duke! Let's go! Sunderland punched a black angel and shouted. The angel was so embedded in the walls that he couldn't get out.
"What a stupid thing! How can any garrison officer abandon his own garrison position! Let's go! Sunderland, I order you to go! Duke shouted.
Seeing Duke's determination, Sunderland had no choice but to be ruthless, and retreated along the cliff path with the remnants of more than a hundred Longtalon garrisons and orc warriors.
"Come on, monster! See how capable you are? Duke hooked his finger defiantly at a black-streaked angel in front of him.
Enraged, the angel roared and rushed up with its claws raised. Duke leaned sideways, slapped the side of his greatsword, blocked the angel's claws, and then kicked the angel in the abdomen.
The black-streaked angel who had fought Duke retched, and the mucus in his mouth fell to the ground. Seeing this, Duke raised his broadsword, and stabbed the black-streaked angel in the chest.
"Humph! It's not a big deal, you filthy monster, it's up to you to see if you're alive now. Duke scoffed.
However, he was about to draw the great sword, but found that he could not do so, and the angel grabbed the great sword pierced into his chest with one hand, and then the corners of his deformed mouth curved upwards to reveal a strange smile. Duke was surprised that he had pierced the angel's heart. However, Duke didn't have a chance to figure out why the angel was still alive, and the angel's claws pierced his chest, grabbed his heart, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
