"Grand Duke Patch! Oh no! The troops of the death row camp entered the city, and they killed people when they saw them, and there were so many bugs and knights, and there was blood everywhere, and they were burning everywhere! In the Grand Duke's Mansion, Patch, who had not been immersed in the pinnacle of power for a long time, was interrupted by the shouts of Duke Charles, who frowned suspiciously and asked, "What's going on?" Death row? What kind of troops is this? ”

Duke Charles wanted to cry without tears, his master was really stupid and had no common sense, he said anxiously: "The Red Blood Empire's death row camp, that is the army of the Imperial Colonel Luo Wei, there are 40,000 people!" ”

"Luo Wei?!" Hearing this name, Patch was shocked, and suddenly remembered Shiso, who had been killed not long ago, he got up from his seat and asked in a deep voice, "Did he avenge Shiso?!" ”

Duke Charles said in a trembling voice: "Revenge must have come!" Before, Grand Duke Invid and Luo Wei had an agreement that they would let Zisu go today, and they came with lights, but now that Shisu is dead, they take off their dresses, pick up guns, and kill people when they see them! ”

"Great! Hahaha!! Luo was worried about my plan!! Surprisingly, Patch not only had no fear, but danced happily and said excitedly, "Luo Wei dares to attack Dawn City, which is a violation of the Imperial Federation Mutual Assistance Treaty and a violation of the law of peace!" The empire can't tolerate him, the federation can't tolerate him, he's doomed! ”

Does Patch have a point? Very, very reasonable.

In principle, the "Imperial Federation Mutual Assistance Treaty" is greater than everything, the first Northern Expedition in the 7th year of the collapse, sitting on the Eagle Banner army, the famous Imperial Admiral Leng Kite did not dare to openly tear up the treaty, this is not a family thing, it has a strong binding effect, if there is a dispute between the two sides, it must be resolved through negotiation under the notarization of the trial council, rather than by force.

Although Luo Wei belonged to the death row camp and was not a regular army of the Empire, he was a colonel of the Orthodox Empire, and from the moment he attacked Dawn City, this treaty was torn apart by him, and he became a sinner who broke the peace, and became a public enemy that neither side could tolerate.

But... So what?

Duke Charles swallowed his throat and said in a trembling voice, "Grand Duke Patch, you better come out and have a look..."

Patch walked out with Duke Charles suspiciously, muttering as he walked: "I am the Grand Duke of the Federation, who dares to touch me..."

Patch is a man of paper, although the military rank is brigadier general of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, but it is entirely by virtue of his family's reputation, he has never commanded an army, so he has no idea about the scale of the battle.

In Patch's thinking, siege warfare is when two armies face each other in the streets, you hide behind cover and shoot at me, and when you finish shooting, I come out and shoot at you to see who is unlucky to get shot first.

And Dawn City is such a huge city, with a vast number of defenders, and it should be no problem to block hundreds of thousands of troops in Patch's heart, what is a mere 40,000 death row camps?

However, when Patch walked out of the Grand Duke's Mansion and condescendingly took in the whole of Dawn City, his notion was shattered.

As far as the eye could see, half of Dawn City, which had spread to the end of the horizon, was burning, and terrible black smoke drifted out of the shattered buildings and into the hazy sky.

On the streets, the chaotic crowd huddled together, the vehicles collided together, the explosions exploded one after another, and the tongues of fire began to rage on the streets, and the dense crowd fled like ants fleeing like ants hiding from natural disasters, trying to find a place to take refuge, but in an instant, they were overwhelmed by the denser swarms of insects and knights, and burst out one cloud of blood mist after another.

Near the city gate, the large-caliber firearms used by the death row camp to attack and kill the beasts formed a continuous line of fire, firing at every life that could be seen and seen, constantly interspersed, divided, and closed the encirclement, slaughtering one piece and slaughtering the second piece, and slaughtering the second piece and slaughtering the third piece! Slaughtered until the barrel of the gun is red and still slaughtered! Slaughtered to the point that the corpses are all over the field and still slaughtered!

All the dawn residents were on the run, and some of them had even picked up some of the things at hand as weapons in order to run faster than others, and struck anyone who squeezed them, which further increased the panic of the people, and for a time there were rivers of blood flowing all over the field.

Eight years have passed since the Dawn Battle, which has been seven years since Honkai, and the safety rules that were once engraved in everyone's hearts have faded, and they have made the same mistake as when the bone dragon attacked: they flocked to the Grand Duke's Mansion en masse, hoping to take refuge in higher ground.

Of course, the Grand Duke's Mansion was no more solid than the Marquis' Palace, and all the civilians were blocked in the open space under the Grand Duke's Palace, which was full of people at a glance, and the slaughterers who were raging in the city were approaching little by little, and it would not be long before they came into contact with them.

At this moment, Patch was confused, staring blankly at all this, not saying a word.

An experienced evolutionary ran over and said anxiously, "Grand Duke Patch, allow me to give you a suggestion, immediately ask for help from the Federation Circum-Naval Theater, and pass on the situation to the Central Committee of Imperial Chang'an. The death row camp is an illegal invasion, and we can use political means to sanction him! As for the current situation, all the civilians can be put up, given weapons, armed and defended by relying on the condescending terrain until reinforcements arrive. ”

Patch frowned, "What if I can't hold it?" ”

The Evolver whispered, "We can only pray for reinforcements to arrive sooner. ”

Patch turned his head, glanced at the evolutionary deeply, suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I will hand over the command to you, you immediately lead the troops down the mountain to meet the enemy, as long as you succeed in blocking them until reinforcements arrive, I will ask for instructions from the Rim of the Sea Theater and crown you as a nobleman." ”

The evolutionary was ecstatic, and when he thought that he had the opportunity to become a nobleman from the grassroots, a sense of fighting spirit surged out of his chest, and he gave a heavy thanks, saluted the federal military salute, and said heroically: "Please rest assured, I will not disappoint you!" ”

After the Evolver came down the mountain with a large number of Grand Duke's troops, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Patchy's forehead, and his expression became extremely hideous, he grabbed Duke Charles, and grinned and said, "How many Valkyries are there in Dawn City?" ”

Duke Charles resignedly said: "A large number of them have been transferred to carry out tasks in the Circum-Naval Theater, and there are only about seven or eight of them stationed now. ”

Patch grimaced and said, "Let them take us out of the air and take refuge in the Rim of the Sea Theater." ”

Duke Charles was taken aback: "What about Dawn City?" Whatever? ”

"You want me to fight to the death here? Just to protect those untouchables? Patch slapped Duke Charles, pulled his Grand Duke uniform and roared, "I'm the Grand Duke!" Grand Duke of the Federation! One person is below ten thousand people! I won't die for anyone! Do you understand?! ”

Duke Charles was not good at stubble, he gave the order to slaughter civilians to protect himself in the dawn defense battle that year, and at this time, Patch was furious, how dare he have any objections, and immediately nodded: "Understood, I'll go and gather the Valkyries immediately!" ”
