Section 258 Duis Fortress (1)
In order to hurry, Moon Shadow led the Wyvern troops first, only resting for three hours a day, and flew to Duis Fortress for six consecutive days.
The only thing that reassures Moon Shadow is that the Duis Fortress has not fallen.
The Duis Fortress was home to an elite hoplite division of the Empire, led by Count Andrassie, who was about sixty years old and a battle-hardened veteran. The reason why the word "before" is used is because the veteran has been stationed in the Duis Fortress for ten years, and now he has a big belly, although he can still wear heavy armor and lift the heavy sword, but he can move...... It's really struggling.
When he learned that the army of the Faten Empire was about to enter the city, the morale of the defenders of the fortress had fallen to the extreme, and Count Andrassy had the intention of killing the enemy, but he could not carry a gun, so he could only cry in vain. Until Moon Shadow and the Wyvern come to their aid...... Especially when the three-headed dragon appeared in the sky above the Duis Fortress, the morale suddenly rose.
Three dragon knights, I'm afraid this is all the dragon knights of the empire, right? (Ordinary soldiers don't know that these dragons belong to Lunaris at first.)
In the conference room of the fortress, Moon Shadow and the others were gathering in front of a messy map to analyze the movements of the Fateter's ** team, and the red arrows on the map clearly pointed out the movements of the Fateter's Empire.
"This is where the Third Legion is stationed, right?"
Moon Shadow pointed to the position slightly ahead of the arrow, "Can they withstand the attack of the Pharts?" ”
"I can't stand it."
Count Andrassie shook his head: "The one in charge of the attack is the Iron Moon Legion of the Fateh Empire. The Legion Commander Theodore is a madman at all, the Third Legion is a mixed infantry and cavalry unit, and the Legion Commander Hammett, although he has a wealth of combat experience, is by no means a match for the Iron Moon Legion...... All we want is for him to buy us as much time as possible to prepare. ”
The old Count's words were a little depressed, but Moon Shadow knew that it was the truth, and although the arrival of the Wyvern troops and dragon knights had boosted the morale of the defenders of the fortress, it did not prove the direction of the war.
The door to the conference room was slammed open, and Count Andrassy glanced angrily, when it became clear that it was Cremu. He quickly moved his gaze to other places--- with a dragon, does that make sense?
"Miss, there was a battle more than twenty kilometers from the fortress. The warring parties were supposed to be soldiers of the Dereis Empire and the Fater Empire. Presently. The soldiers of the Dryth Empire are retreating! Crimea reports to Moon Shadow.
Count Andrassy pouted: Isn't this nonsense? At this time, of course, it was the ...... who were at war He suddenly froze: "Your Excellency Crimea, why don't you help the Imperial Warriors?" ”
"Why should I help them?" Krimu turned his head and glared at him, though he didn't release the dragon power. But the momentum of the superior is clear at a glance.
Count Andrassy was stunned, and the dragon was loyal only to his knights. To the knight's country...... Even the family members don't have any sense of belonging, and Krimu's reaction is extremely normal.
"Let's go to the city to see the situation and inform the troops to get ready for battle!"
Moon Shadow commanded, the former to Count Andrassy, and the second to Alto.
Although Count Andrassy offered to hand over the command to her as soon as she entered the fortress, Moon Shadow knew that this old guy didn't look at the weakness of his limbs (which limbs he wanted to go ^^), his head was not ambiguous, and he was simply asking Moon Shadow for command in disguise.
On the battlefield. Unity of command would have been a normal thing. Moon Shadow itself doesn't have any military literacy, and belongs to the kind of thug that can. It's more reluctant to be a commander, but the problem is that the Wyvern Knight and the Dragon Knight are her private army, which can't be handed over.
So, this led to a new land plan, with Moon Shadow and his subordinates responsible for the defense of the frontal walls, and the Dragon Knight responsible for air support.
The group reached the top of the city, and although it was still far away, smoke and dust were already billowing in front of them, showing that a large number of cavalry troops were galloping towards the fortress.
"Count Andrassy, should you open the door and prepare to receive them?"
Although this section of the wall is currently her defense area, Count Andrassy is the commander of the fortress, and Lunaris must ask for permission.
"No, let's see how it goes!"
Count Andrassy is not unconcerned about the safety of his comrades, it is still far away, and the enemy is not yet known, and if the enemy army takes advantage of the opportunity to rush into the fortress, it will be too late to regret it.
Moon Shadow smiled, she knew the old earl's concerns, took out a military telescope and handed it over: "Count Andrassie, this is a ...... Magic items, you see, are not Imperial troops. ”
"Oh."
Count Andrassy knew that the Lord of Hawaii was a magician, and that mages generally made up something dangerous and interesting, hesitated, but took it and put it in front of him according to the method that Moon Shadow had instructed.
"Ah----h
A look of surprise appeared on the old earl's face, as a commander, of course, he knew the military value of the telescope.
"Isn't it our soldier?"
Moon Shadow asked.
"Yes, but the Fats are chasing too closely, I'm worried that if they don't all enter the fortress, the Fats will follow and catch up!"
The old earl had a look of embarrassment on his face, and those people outside were also his comrades, but as a commander, the first thing he had to consider was the safety of the fortress.
With the eyesight of Moon Shadow, of course, it is better than ordinary people, although most of the cavalry withdrawn from the Third Legion are cavalry, there are still a considerable number of infantry, and the Fats cavalry chasing behind will soon catch up with the slower infantry, once the city gate is opened, the Fats cavalry will definitely take the opportunity to grab the door.
After thinking for a while, Moon Shadow said, "Count Andrassie, I will lead people to block the cavalry of the Fats, you open the door to pick up people, and pay attention to maintaining order." ”
Then, she turned and ordered Alto, Fenna, and a young officer who was following her: "Inform the troops, prepare for battle!" ”
---- the latter is Hampton, the captain of the Wyvern Knights. Hani.
"Yes, then please Lord Earl!"
Although the Wyvern Knight and the dragon may not be able to influence the trend of the war, it is no problem to stop the pursuers with their actions, and there is no need to worry about being entangled by the pursuers, so Count Andrassy immediately went to make arrangements.
A moment later, three dragons rose into the sky, and behind them, a black wyvern knight...... Outside the fortress, the knights of the Dereis Empire at the front were already less than five hundred meters away from the fortress, and the gate of the fortress was slowly opening.
"Kill! Kill these Drys monkeys who can only escape! ”
Theodore excitedly stuck out his tongue, licked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with cruel light, chasing and killing all the way, running all the way, the Iron Moon Legion was famous for its cruelty and bloodthirstiness in the Fateh Empire. However, he Theodore was not an executioner who could only kill, he was just going to drive this group of routs under the fortress.
Or, open the fortress, and he can take the opportunity to seize the gate and capture the Duis fortress; If the defenders didn't dare to open the door, he wouldn't mind putting on a grand slaughter show beneath the fortress.
Suddenly, the war horse under his crotch neighed uneasily, and even refused to move forward, three long dragon groans rose from the sky above the fortress, and three huge figures soared upward, and then, like a series of thunderous sounds, the sound of the neighing of giant beasts continued to come, thousands of wyverns rose from behind the walls of the fortress, and on the back of each wyvern sat a knight, and the dragon lances raised high and the neatly draped armor showed that they were real wyvern knights.
Even the warriors of the Iron Moon Legion, known for their iron blood, trembled, the shouts and fights on the battlefield froze in an instant, the high-speed sprinting horses slowed down in horror, the light knights on horseback were thrown out by the huge inertia, and some of the horses scattered and fled because of fear...... The Iron Moon Legion, known for its iron blood and discipline, finally panicked, and the hands that clenched their weapons were no longer strong, and their courage was rapidly disappearing.
As a flying monster second only to the giant dragon on the continent, all countries pay attention to catching and raising, and each country has a certain number of flying dragon knights, but nearly a thousand flying dragons are dispatched at once...... There is really no other country that can field such a luxurious lineup.
Theodore's face was a little distorted, puzzled, angry, and confused...... Even he didn't expect that so many expressions would appear on his face at the same time. In his expectation, the dragon knights of the Dresse Empire will definitely concentrate in the direction of the Indili Emperor's ** team, after all, there is a stake in the survival of Treston, although the Fateh Empire also has dragon knights, but they are not on the front line, and they are ...... There were three dragons and nearly a thousand flying dragons.
Theodore's face became hideous, and he pointed straight forward with his spear: "God bless the Empire, the Iron Moon Legion is mighty!" ”
The pursuit, which had just stalled, began again.
His intention is very clear, if he retreats, I am afraid that without waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive, the vanguard of Tieyue will be wiped out, it is better to fight against the water and catch up with the retreating army of the Dereis Empire in front of him, forming a melee situation, even if he can't delay time, he can destroy the enemy to the greatest extent.
