Section 261 Duis Fortress (4)
As night fell, Moon Shadow returned to the camp after inspecting the city defenses--- and Count Andrassy left her a room at the castle guard's house, which she politely refused.
It was wartime, and as the head of the army, she was supposed to live in the barracks.
Shen Bao'er is really unaccustomed to the days when he is not there, and the article is also very busy now, not only to manage the army of Warcraft in the ocean, but also to cultivate, and he is also very busy, unfortunately, Duis Fortress is a little far away from the sea, otherwise he can really summon a group of Ocean Warcraft to help fight.
The siege battle on the first day ended with sunset, and its intensity was completely unexpected by Moon Shadow, according to the battlefield observer's report, the remnants of the Iron Moon Legion of the Fat Empire were completely wiped out in the battle that day, and the number of this unit was basically canceled, and the casualties of the Wyvern Knights were not very large, dozens of light and serious injuries, basically all of them were injured by stray arrows, and they were cured by the healers who accompanied the army that night, and had little impact on combat effectiveness, the only thing that made Moon Shadow dissatisfied was that the crossbow arrows of the eight crossbows were consumed too much, And here there is no addition.
However, after this battle, it is still very beneficial to the growth of the Wyvern Knights, they are no longer rookies who have not seen blood, a day of fierce fighting, but it has boosted their fighting spirit, Moon Shadow patrolled the barracks for a week, and found that he didn't need to say anything to boost morale, the knights' fighting enthusiasm was high, if it wasn't for her strict forbidden, several extremely enthusiastic guys might have driven the Wyvern to rush to the Falt barracks.
At the current level of Moon Shadow, food is no longer a necessity, but a habit. She ate something indiscriminately and lay down on the bed.
However, the daytime battle scenes are still replayed in my mind one by one----
The Iron Moon Legion is known as the Legion of the Maniacs. Moon Shadow saw their persistence, and these fierce, almost crazy soldiers chanted the names of their legions as they attacked the fortress one after another, and finally the knights abandoned their horses and joined the siege force with shields and swords.
War is not a game, only blood and desire are not enough, the dragon knights are equipped with magic bows provided by the elf kingdom, after the long-term guidance of the elf instructors, whether it is weapons or skills, they are above the attacker. Coupled with the protection of the city wall, every attack of the Iron Moon Legion was a close contact with the god of death, and one by one the vivid lives turned into lifeless corpses in the blink of an eye, and the flesh and blood were shattered under the attack of crossbow arrows and flying stones. And the most terrifying thing is that he is standing on the head of the city, ignoring these lives and becoming the collection of the Grim Reaper.
Heaven and earth are unkind. Take all things as dogs.
A cultivator only cares about the people and things he cares about, such as an elephant, it will only care about its baby elephant and its people, and will never care about the ground ants under its feet, for Moon Shadow. The death of those Fats could make her sigh at best, and only the casualties of the Wyvern Knight might have moved her. "Maybe this is the difference between the superior and the ordinary person!"
Moon Shadow said with some self-deprecation.
Although it is said that the barracks are important. It was safe, but Moon Shadow released two puppet warriors, Setz and Gain, to stay outside the tent. It is said that during the special period, the enemy is very likely to dispatch high-level force to carry out the beheading plan, and she doesn't want to be taken care of by this kind of focus, so it is better to be prepared.
"Or I'm really not fit to kill, if there is a suitable opportunity, this lord must be changed!"
Moon Shadow thought about it for the first time, of course. This will have to wait until all the dust settles. It's still a little too early.
In the days that followed, the battlefield was eerily quiet. To confirm this, Alto and Fenna flew the dragon to reconnoiter and confirm the accuracy of this information, and when they reached the Fateh camp, two dragon knights of the Fatt Empire also rose into the air to stop them.
However, Alto and Fenna did not fight them, this was Moon Shadow's order, and it was also conditional to help the Empire, she didn't want to risk her own Dragon Knight.
"It's possible that they're waiting for reinforcements, a fortress garrisoned by dragon knights and the Wyvern Legion is definitely not something that a Blood Moon Legion can eat, even if they have a numerical advantage!" Hammett, who has recovered from his injury, said.
"So, we still have to wait?"
Moon Shadow was a little disappointed, she was a complete rookie in military terms, and after Alto reported back on the dynamics of the Fat's army, she was eager to send the Wyvern Knights in pursuit to solve the problem once and for all, to the two dragon knights...... She didn't see it as a threat at all, and with the cooperation of the puppet dragons, it would definitely not be difficult to eliminate them.
"Yes, all we need to do is prepare and wait."
Count Andrassy, who has never spoken lightly, also opened the golden mouth: "The goal of the Fateh Empire is very clear, they are to control the coastal economic lifeline of the empire, and the Duis Fortress is an insurmountable obstacle for them, and this is the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two sides." ”
"Won't we be even more passive when their reinforcements arrive?" Moon Shadow asked.
"The Duis Fortress has enough supplies, as long as the walls are not broken, it will be no problem to hold on for two or three years." Count Andrassy replied lightly.
Two or three years?
Moon Shadow pouted, who has the kung fu to accompany you for two or three years, she can't wait to go back now.
In the next few days, there was finally good news----
Hawai's two brigades of dragon knights, an Orephine hoplite brigade and the accompanying baggage battalion arrived at the Duis fortress one after another, and a local legion also marched into the fortress, which relieved the emperor's ** team, which was stretched thin in terms of troops.
The legions of the local legion were quickly replenished to the walls of the fortress, and Moon Shadow left behind a longbow brigade while the Orephine hoplites were brought to the head of the city.
This Orephin hoplite was built on the backbone of Oralphine warriors who had been bought in the slave market. In the past two years, Rolaire and Ottavi have scoured the slave markets everywhere, and even secretly penetrated into the Bimon Empire, bringing some of these Orephine families to Hawai'i territory.
It must be noted that in the Beamon Empire, there is no doubt about the high combat effectiveness of the Orephine warriors. However, it is precisely because they have the highest combat effectiveness, and the number is relatively small, so they have always been ranked outside the five major royal families of the Beamon Empire, and only when they are fighting, will people think of them.
In this regard, even honest people will have an opinion, and a large number of Orephines defected to the Hawaii Territory on the inspiration of Rolaire and others, and Rolelle made a major promise after obtaining the consent of Moonshadow----
The Hawai Territory will never take the initiative to declare war on the Beamon Empire!
Of course, as a corresponding obligation, the Orephines also had the responsibility to protect the territory when the Hawaii were attacked by the Bimon Empire.
In this way, none of the Orephines who defected to the Hawai Territory objected, and Rolaire set aside a piece of land within the territory for them to live in, enjoying the same rights as the other people.
When the tall Orephine warriors, heavily armored and armed with black scythes of death, ascended the city, the warriors from the local legions almost fell off their eyes, thinking that they were otherworldly creatures summoned by magicians.
Just as the reinforcements of the Dreis Empire entered the Duis Fortress, the Fateh military camp forty miles away from the fortress also received their reinforcements and the sternly worded will of the Philin Great.
Since it was already deep into the Dresses Empire, there were 100,000 local legions and 300 magicians who came to help, and some legions were scattered in various cities after consolidating their previous achievements.
Emperor Filin issued this decree bypassing Prince Scott, who harshly criticized the Iron Moon Legion's greed and recklessness, and handed over command of the Battle of Duis to Captain Errigon of the Blood Moon Legion, asking him to launch an attack as soon as possible and take the Duis Fortress.
"O Emperor, since the command has been handed over to Prince Scott, you should not ......"
Errigon smiled helplessly and bitterly, these words can only be slandered in his heart, and what should be carried out must be executed.
Duis Fortress is also the decisive battle location he has already chosen, but now the timing is not right, the main battle legion of the empire has not yet fully come up, relying only on the Blood Moon Legion and the 100,000 local legions...... Hard!
"My lord, the Marquis of Fossen and the Marquis of Hosenberg ask to see you!"
The attendant walked into the tent and whispered.
"Oh, please come in, two adults!"
Errigone said.
"Legion Commander, do you need our help tomorrow?"
The Marquis of Forson, who had a slightly impatient personality, shouted loudly as soon as he entered.
"No, Lord Marquis, let the local legions test the defense of the fortress tomorrow."
Errigone stretched out his hand and asked the two dragon knights to sit down.
Test?
It is the meaning of letting the soldiers of those local legions be cannon fodder, and the three of them all tacitly agreed, and after they sat down, all three of them were smiling and smiling, but no one mentioned the battle the next day.
