Section 260 Duis Fortress (3)
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.
When I recited this poem as a child, Moon Shadow always felt that it was a bit exaggerated, or that her artistic conception was not enough.
However, when she climbed to the top of the city the next day, she saw the white tents connected outside the city, and finally realized the state of mind of the great poet Cen Shen at that time.
In just one night, a company camp had been built outside, and two dragon moans sounded in the sky in the distance, and two dragons, one blue and one blue, appeared in the distance, and in an instant, they reached the sky above the Fateh military camp.
After circling in the sky as if for a week, two dragons descended into the barracks.
"Do you have any information about these two dragon knights?" Moon Shadow asked, frowning.
Beside her were two liaison officers sent by Count Andrassy, who were not necessarily very powerful, but they were very quick to handle, and one of them, the liaison officer named Loki, replied: "My lord, the two dragon knights of the Fatet Empire are the Wind Dragon Knight, Marquis Hosenberg, and the Water Dragon Knight, Marquis Fosen, they both became dragon knights ten years ago, and the dragons sitting down are all fourth-order dragons with rich combat experience. ”
They are all famous dragon knights, Moon Shadow shook her head, Alto and Fenna don't think about it at all, they are also given to others to shoot down, but she and the puppet dragon still have the power to fight, but it's still early, it's not the time to show all the hole cards.
Just then, an officer ascended to the top of the castle and invited Moon Shadow to a meeting at the Castle Lord's Mansion.
"Hmm. After Moonshadow handed over the defense to the Hamptons, she repeatedly ordered Alto and Fenna not to go to battle before going to the Castle Guard.
The Fateh army came very quickly, in addition to the Iron Moon Legion, there were also the Empire's famous Blood Moon Legion and three local legions, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 troops.
Because nearly half of the combat strength of the Iron Moon Legion was annihilated, the legion leader Theodore was killed in battle, and the rest was led by the deputy legion commander Green, so the legion leader of the Blood Moon Legion, Errigun, became the wartime commander.
When the Marquis of Hosenberg and the Marquis of Forsen walked into the Great Tent. I felt as if I had gone to the wrong place---- and the noise in the big tent was not like a military meeting. It has to fight with the vegetable market, Errigern looked at these generals with a smile, and looked at the lively appearance.
As soon as the two dragon knights entered the tent, there was immediately silence in the tent, and the generals stopped arguing and looked at them in unison.
"Captain Errigern, what's going on?" Marquis Fosen asked.
Errigone smiled. Raise your chin to the generals: "Let them explain it to the two of you." ”
A young officer gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Your Excellency Dragon Knight, we are determined to go to war to avenge Captain Theodore!" ”
Fosen looked at his emblem and said, "You're from the Iron Moon Legion?" ”
"Yes, Ziger, the commander of the third division of the Iron Moon Legion!" Zigger straightened up and gave a knightly salute.
After the Fosen returned the salute. He said gently: "Ziger, I already know the place where the commander of Theodore's army died in battle, but as a soldier, you should take obedience to orders as your duty, what do you look like now!" ”
As he spoke, his voice suddenly became stern.
"I ......"
Ziger wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. There was nothing to answer.
"Ahem!"
Errigan coughed dryly and came out to relieve the siege: "About the death of Commander Theodore. I am also very sorry, so I understand how you feel. But, as Fersen said, you are first and foremost soldiers of the Empire, and no private feelings should exist until the interests of the Empire are concerned, remember, this matter is not an example! ”
"Yes!"
All the generals in the camp replied in unison.
After the two dragon knights were also seated. Errigun asked, "Two adults." What instructions do I have for His Royal Highness? ”
The Prince He refers to refers to the second son of Emperor Filin the Fat Empire. Prince Scott.
This prince is not only fond of military affairs, but his own strength has also reached level ten, and he became a dragon knight through the dragon sealing ceremony a year ago, and he is in charge of the invasion of the Dresses Empire at this time.
The two dragon knights glanced at each other, and the Marquis of Hosenberg said: "His Royal Highness the Prince asks His Excellency the Legion Commander to launch an attack on the Duis Fortress as soon as possible, as long as this fortress is occupied, the economic lifeline of the Dereis Empire will be between the palms of our hands." Count Versen followed up and asked, "Your Excellency Legion Commander, I wonder when we will be able to launch an attack on the Duis Fortress?" ”
I'm in a hurry!
Errigon looked at the excited young officers, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Tomorrow, attack early tomorrow morning." ”
The two dragon knights showed a satisfied smile: "Your Excellency Legion Commander, please rest assured, if the other party's dragon knights dare to attack, they will be handed over to us to be responsible, but they are just three rookies." ”
Rookie? It's arrogant enough, Errigan shook his head secretly.
"You're my brother-in-law?"
The Moon Shadow surrounds Orson. Pushkin turned around twice before he stopped, but there was still a puzzle in his eyes, this guy is too vegetable, he has just entered the ranks of high-level knights, and he also looks polite, if it weren't for his golden fighting spirit to show his level, Moon Shadow would even have to take off his badge to verify his identity.
Hammit, whose wounds had healed, smiled silently, and he was very happy to see his right-hand man in distress, and from time to time he turned his head to whisper a few words to Count Andrassy next to him.
"That...... Indeed I am. ”
Orson accompanied the smiling face, but the question of factual sovereignty must not have a negative answer.
"Even if you are."
Moon Shadow rolled her eyes slyly and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Brother-in-law, bring the red envelope!" "This ......"
Orson Khan, he touched the pocket with only five gold coins left, and asked cautiously: "Alice, next time you have a chance to make up for it, can you?" ”
"Okay, let you go, but next time I'll have to get a double portion!" Moon Shadow took the opportunity to squeeze.
"Okay, no problem."
Orson patted his chest.
Serious matters were to be discussed, and although Hammett said that his wounds had healed, Count Andrassy and Moonshadow firmly rejected his request to join the battle, and as a compromise, Hammett was tasked with consolidating the remnants of the newly withdrawn Third Legion as reserves.
Moreover, they followed Moon Shadow's advice and organized an emergency rescue team composed entirely of high-ranking warriors---- and when the situation was most critical, this team would go there to help the emergency, and Orson naturally became the leader of this team.
After a quiet night, the next morning, the people of the fortress were awakened by the sound of trumpets roaring outside the city, and the Phat finally began to attack.
Looking at the neatly arranged infantry formations walking out of the camp, Moon Shadow's face was a little ugly, this person was a little ...... At least 10,000 people, right?
Behind the Fateh infantry, there were also a large number of archers and mages, as well as various siege weapons such as siege crossbows and catapults.
"Humph! Luckily, I was prepared! ”
Moon Shadow admired his foresight very much---- bringing not only twenty eight-card crossbows, but also fifty Dao magic catapults, and had already entered the position last night. Shout......
Hundreds of crossbow arrows and boulders burst into the air and flew up to the city.
"!"
With a wave of her hand, the warriors who had already prepared immediately retreated to the city---- under this kind of attack, the enemy's siege troops would not come up to find death.
The first to attack was the 3rd Division of the Iron Moon Legion, the only formed formation in the Iron Moon Legion that was not hit---- 3rd Division was the only infantry division.
Moon Shadow led the guards directly above the city gates, Alto and Fenna sat at the right end of the city wall, and Hampton sat at the left end of the city wall, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, even the city gate was tightly blocked with earth and stones, the only thing that made Moon Shadow a little depressed was that she seemed to have been deceived by the old fox of Andrassie, and those stupid Phats did not attack the other walls, but went straight to the front.
"Get ready, shoot them back!"
Moon Shadow was too embarrassed to regret it, so she simply beat these guys to the ground.
The glittering crossbows were aimed at the soldiers, all of whom raised their bows and arrows.
At this moment, the warriors of the Fateh Empire let out a cry and rushed towards the city wall in a frenzy.
"Ready!"
"Shoot!"
At the sound of an order, the crossbow (arrow) bolt flew out of the air with a chilling scream, shooting into the surging crowd, splashing bright blood flowers.
Countless screams rang out, and thousands of soldiers were shot, those who were shot by arrows still had the possibility of survival, and those who were shot by eight crossbows...... Even the whole corpse has become a luxury---- when the huge crossbow bolt hits the human body, it will tear the human body in two in an instant, and it can penetrate more than ten people at once.
Rumble......
Heart-pounding balls of fireball and ice rose into the sky, falling in an arc into the middle of the Fateh infantry, countless lives withering in the duo of fire and ice.
"Hell! Didn't it mean that the Emperor Dreis, who was afraid of death, transferred all the magicians back to Treston to assist in the defense? Who is this intelligence gathered? Errigan was furious.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, it's normal for information to be incorrect." Marquis Fosen persuaded.
"Humph!"
Errigan let out a breath from his nostrils, looked at the battlefield again, and muttered, "Damn! What kind of defense weapon is that, it is so terrifying! ”
