"Reiter! According to Lao Tzu, the situation is not good! ”

"If it's not good, you have to carry it, I think let everyone choose for themselves!"

"Hmmm! So do it! ”

After the discussion, everyone who stayed in Wind Cliff Castle left the conference room, only Evelyn of the Evelyn clan sat there and did not leave, since she was rescued by Narrator, because of her special identity, the gladiators who also stayed in Wind Cliff Castle took good care of her, but she wanted to repay this kindness wholeheartedly, not to mention that she now has no way to cross the ocean and return to her motherland.

In the human realm, if an Evelyn has no backer, then his fate is extremely terrible, touching the mark on his neck because of the magic limiter, Aroline took a breath, opened the door and walked out.

"Don't make a noise, everyone! Listen to me! ”

Leiter built a shelf in the center of the arena, because of the withdrawal of the magician, the arena was no longer supported by magic, and the space returned to its original size. Some slaves and gladiators who had families and had no ideals and were captured to be strong men had left when they were free, and now they remained here because of people who wanted to go, or who had nowhere to go.

The inhabitants of Wind Cliff City, with the help of the group of gladiators of Ret, left Wind Cliff City, which could become a key combat target. The Viscount and the kingdom's army arrived in the border area a week ago, probably waiting for follow-up troops, Windcliff was surrounded by groups, only those who wanted to live and die with Windcliff remained, and this gathering was the last count of the number of people.

"There are more than 1,000 people here, I believe that everyone will stay by believing what the Archmage said! The kingdom has twenty times as many troops, and I don't know how to fight it. ”

Rett touched his chin, Rett was a gladiator, not a strategist, and it was much more refreshing to let him go straight to the battle than to lead this group of peasants here. Reiter was helpless, after all, the archmage had finally told him to hold on until he came back anyway.

"Come on, Mr. Reiter, I think what we need is confidence."

Rett looked at Ayrine, who was talking to him weakly, and nodded in agreement, he now thought to himself that it would be better to leave it to someone who could do it than to do something like this.

Ayrine straightened her clothes, and then climbed up to the platform with the help of Leiter. Looking at the noisy crowd below, Yu Linghua did not start to say anything in a hurry, but closed her eyes and softly hummed the folk song of her hometown in the lingua franca:

"Ah~ distant childhood memories..."

"Filled with the warmth of the sun"

"Fragrant irises"

"Please follow the breeze to convey our call"

"Knowing that being alone is lonely"

"To be born in this city is to meet you"

"It is because of this city that I have the privilege of meeting you"

"The blue bird singing the song of longing!"

"Please find a home for the rootless duckweed"

"Please take my thoughts, under the blue sky of the five, looking for a place for tomorrow."

The sad and magical tune silenced the people present, most of the people who stayed were people without families, the city was their only home, many people listened to the low voice of the elves and silently left tears, but the song was sad, but the magic could inspire everyone very well, Evelyn's talent was not the well-known wind magic, but this kind of singing that could affect people's moods.

After singing a song, Aroline opened her big green eyes with tears in her eyes, and looked at the people below, who were waiting. In the silent square, Aroline simply said:

"When this battle is over, we will come here again, and I will sing to everyone."

Then he bowed deeply to the crowd, wiped his eyes and walked off the stage, and after a silence, everyone cheered and encouraged each other. It's not just because of the magic in the song, but because of the loneliness that I really feel deeply, and if there is no hope of life, let's sprinkle our blood on this land of love.

"Lawrence, I have a good bottle of wine hidden at home, let's drink it tonight!"

"I really love this elf! If I hadn't come back from death, I'd have proposed to her! ”

"Get out! Follow the rules! Line up at the back to go. ”

In the midst of laughter, Rett organized the crowd, divided into various squads, and then used the cloth collected in the city, with the help of skillful dwarves and elves, to make what they thought was the best banner, which was about to face more than 20,000 people to attack, looking at this huge banner, representing the gladiator's short sword behind a kite shield, and the unity of the Raka branch formed a semicircle in the lower room of the shield and sword, and the top of the banner was written in the standard language Fight for freedom.

The atmosphere of the war is becoming more and more solemn, and when the people of Rett are suffering from no weapons, a beautiful woman with short silver hair in a strange and simple costume is connected to them through the puppet left by the archmage, and she says that her name is Dana, she is the first mate of the archmage, and she is ordered by the archmage, he will airdrop a batch of weapons to Ret, and when this group of people is studying what the airdrop means, the lady asks them to go to the river outside the city to arrange defenses, and the weapons will arrive tomorrow morning.

The next day, in the amazed eyes of everyone, two meteors in the sky dragged a long tail of smoke and fell to the position that Lady Dana said, and as the hatch opened, everyone ushered in an incomparably loud cheer, and the two rectangular meteors were filled with magic props that they had seen in the arena, brand new, as if they had just been made. The yellow-orange bullets and the large black iron pipe gave everyone great confidence.

Leiter then gave the group of peasants a special training on how to use this magic prop. With the help of the dwarves, they cleverly set a trap for the only bridge in and out of Windcliff. Then he led everyone to dig a kilometer-long trap area at the bridgehead. Later, trenches of different depths were also dug on his own side.

Because it was not the rainy season, there was only waist-high water in the moat, and at the suggestion of the guard guarding the city gate, Leiter and his group planted spikes made of huge logs on the side of the embankment near the trench, and then drove the monsters of the Chloe River into the river, the temperature in autumn was still very high, and this group of huge monsters like lizards were soaked in the water that was not deep, and those who didn't know would think it was a rotten wood, but the sinister gladiators of this kind of monsters knew it well.

In the days that followed, the lady named Dana contacted the group again and informed them of the enemy's movements, while a batch of supplies fell from the sky, including two huge magic items, and with the help of the puppets, twelve sturdy men learned how to operate them.

In this last batch of supplies, there are many cans that are the same as the ones usually given by the mage, but the more slender tin cans are called smoke bombs. Lady Dana told them to find a way to throw this thing into the crowd once they encountered a large number of enemies, and then stay at the top of the highest city wall to observe what coordinates the puppets would teleport into, and all the twelve strong men had to do was keep reloading the magic items with ammo.

Weeks had passed, and the city was running out of food, with no sustainable food sources other than the occasional food supply that came down from the sky with meteors. Everyone's patience is almost worn out, and the kingdom's army seems to be very afraid of magic props, and has not attacked, but just surrounded, sending a few clever people every day to rely on the mage's amplification skills to scold outside the range of magic props.

Just when everyone was exhausted by the delaying tactics on the other side, the lady Dana suggested that everyone use two magic cannons to attack the opponent first, and everyone who originally thought that these two magic cannons were equivalent to large catapults at most, and quickly organized a team that was good at concealment, and dropped two smoke bombs at the military rations and rest tents of the Kingdom Army.

"What the hell is this?"

"Damn, it's smoking! Won't it catch fire? ”

"It just came out of Mars"

"Pick it up and take a look!"

"Why don't you ........?"

In the eyes of others, two meteors tore the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and the cannonball that drew a perfect curve completely hit the crowd that was watching the smoke bomb, and the violent explosion seemed to be a fire storm technique that only a high-level mage could use, and the air wave blew over the tents within dozens of meters nearby, and the kingdom army, which was attacked by artillery for the first time, immediately messed up, and the two correction shells directly took dozens of lives, and the granary of the kingdom army was ignited.

However, this was only the first wave, and the twelve strong men were divided into groups of six, each passing ammunition from the black ammunition box, and with each shot, everyone covered their ears for fear of being shocked by the loud noise. The cannonball that came out of the muzzle was smoking and was carried aside by the person in charge, while the other person quickly stuffed a new shell.

"Coordinates! 251.222”

The communicator holding the holographic board, looking at the numbers from the puppet, yelled and reported it to the gunner

"Coordinates! 251.222”

The gunner, who was in charge of adjusting the scale, quickly turned the two wheels on the gun rack, and when he saw that the scale on the metal had reached the required scale, the gunner covered his ears and shouted:

"Put!"

As the gunner's words fell, the cannon let out a roar, and the 152-millimeter huge cannonball, pushed out by the firing powder in the barrel, spun, with an incomparably beautiful tail smoke, roared into the kingdom's camping area, scattered metal fragments, easily tore the knights' armor, but the owner of the armor had already been shattered by the previous wave of air, and the seven holes bled to death.

There was chaos in the kingdom's barracks, the soldiers couldn't find their centurion, the centurion couldn't find their champion fighter, the viscount and some of the generals in charge of the command had long escaped from the range of the shelling, the shelling didn't last too long, but in just ten minutes, less than twenty shells killed hundreds of people in the kingdom army so simply.

And on the side of Wind Cliff City, looking at the splendid shelling of the kingdom's position, it was like a salute. They all cheered excitedly.

"If this thing keeps blowing up the other side like this, it's going to be a fart!"

"That's it! But the lady Dana said yes, she's given us everything she can offer. ”

"Alas...... In the end, it's up to you. ”

The young soldier flipped through the luncheon meat that had been fried in the canning box, and the older man, who was probably the soldier's father, took out the pipe in his sleeve, lit it under the campfire, and after exhaling a deep puff of old smoke, he lifted the belt on his shoulder, and said to his son:

"What do you mean by this mage, I've lived for more than fifty years, and I've never seen magic like this."

"Don't say it~ This mage, not only is it powerful, but he must also be very rich, this thing called canned meat, it is estimated that the king has never eaten the things in it, you see that each of us can get one every day."

The old man picked up the empty jar that had been thrown on the ground, and he didn't know anything about the words written on it. After tearing off the lid of the can, the old man took out a few dry leaves from his pocket, and when he got to some water, he put it on the side of the campfire and boiled tea:

"That's right, this thing is made of iron sheets, and when you win, just picking up the canned food shells you have eaten in the past few days, and finding an old blacksmith to melt them into iron ingots, you can make a lot of money."

The young soldier smiled and did not reply. Under the night sky, the trenches lined up along the moat, at intervals, would light up such a bonfire, and around the bonfire sat crowds from different places, presumably in the kingdom barracks, and this group of people had a very good night's sleep.

"Tremble for it!"

"This is our new city"

"Lift it up! Our flag at the moment! ”

"With a proud and noble name!"

"Call upon your sleeping power!"

A flame bullet whistled past Aroline, she turned the muzzle of the gun, pulled the trigger, and spat out the bullet, tearing the melee mage's body, in order to save ammunition, Feather Flower did not continue towards the fallen mage rifle, the uplifting song in her mouth rose and fell with the sound of her heavy breathing, cheering up the warriors around her.

Most of Aroline's original emerald green hair had been cut off, and the rest was woven with simple hemp rope so as not to hinder the battle. The emerald green figure on the battlefield and the accompanying war song always cheered the tired soldiers, although the song was hoarse and there was no trace of magic fluctuations, but seeing such a young woman walking through the trenches all the time, the soldiers always felt that they could not even compare to a woman.

As if they were not afraid of death, the kingdom's army charged over, and each time they charged, the kingdom's army became more difficult to deal with, and the battle had entered a white-hot state, and the first time the kingdom army built a tall catapult with the trees cut down a few days ago to bombard the position, but it was quickly blown to pieces by the counterattack of two 152 guns in the city. Then wave after wave of people rushed forward with their shields.

First the heavy giant shield, and then simply made of a whole log of bulletproof tree shield, until now almost abandoned the original infantry combat neat formation, three people alternately advance, human war instinct is terrible, in just a few days, from a one-sided slaughter, gradually transformed into a shuttle bullet may not be able to kill a person.

The knights of the kingdom use three shields stacked on top of each other, with one person carrying the shield to charge, the crossbowman who follows behind him will use the arrows fired by the curve as the main output, and the mage at the back will take turns bombarding the position with the fireball technique day and night. Without food and grass, it is already difficult for the Kingdom Army to play siege warfare with the soldiers of Wind Cliff City.

The knights with fast horses tried several times to break through the moat and failed, but in the end the bridgehead was broken through by the kingdom army using the smoke summoned by the mage, and the bridgehead battled, more than a hundred warriors were left behind the city wall, and now the kingdom army used its own mages to bombard the city wall under the cover of a large number of heavy shields, and those knights stuck the corpses of this group of warriors on wooden stakes, nailed high on both sides of the road, and let the crows and maggots devour them.

The magic items lost by the bridgehead were quickly turned against Wind Cliff City by the Kingdom Army, and although the Kingdom Army soon ran out of bullets, it still brought a lot of casualties to the soldiers of Wind Cliff City. The dwarves in Wind Cliff City are struggling to beat their hammers, one by one metal shields and new swords have been created, the bullets have almost run out, and under the joint spell of the kingdom's mages, the two 152 cannons have also been melted into molten iron by large magic, and the gunners have been sacrificed.

In order to cover the withdrawal of the large army into the city, the puppet fought fiercely with the knights of the kingdom on the bridge for a whole day, and finally connected the bridge together, and was smashed into the river by the battering ram, and could not get up again. Less than half of the soldiers of Wind Cliff Fort remained, and no one expected this small battle that would have belonged to the local area to be so brutal.

After another two days, the soldiers of Wind Cliff Fort were completely out of bullets, except for the weapons created by the dwarves, everyone else silently installed bayonets on the magic tools. The gates were no longer long under the battering rams.

Just when everyone was in an extremely nervous mood and planned to use the last manpower to break through the city gate and fight them against the water, the royal army suddenly gave up the attack on the city gate, and what the observers who sent to the city wall to observe saw was that in the position of the kingdom army a hundred meters away, there were only a dozen or so mages left, and the huge magic array between them flashed with ominous light.

Then, as if the whole world had lost its voice, the Wind Cliff Castle that originally belonged to the Viscount flickered with an astonishing light, and in this light, it collapsed and melted, as if it was ice exposed to the scorching sun, and the strong light stimulated the eyes of the soldiers, and after the strong light, the entire Wind Cliff Castle had evaporated from this world, and the steep cliff wall still exuded a huge hot lava-like ground, showing the power of this magic.

The melting of the castle shook the hearts of the remaining soldiers. Aroline was no longer able to inspire the soldiers with her singing, and the mages of the kingdom showed their abilities. The fire that burned in the aristocratic quarter was their masterpiece. The soldiers all bowed their heads, and the swords in their hands hung on the ground, and there were less than five hundred people left, and they really didn't know how to face the countless imperial knights and mages outside the door.

"Ahh

As the soldiers mourned their impending fate, a low roar was heard in the sky.
