Chapter Eighty-Three: Circling the City
The idea of Grand Duke Kelzenos unfortunately came true, and the gates of Ostachia were closed, and they were really not allowed in!
"Holy Lukia Kingdom, bastards...... Are they going to destroy the coalition? The Holy Maiden and the Duke of Frankgert, who had hurried from the rear army, were furious. www.biquge.info The Demon King Army is chasing behind, but Ostachia does not open the city gates, and if the coalition army has no geographical advantage, how can it resist the Demon King Army that has been reinforced?
"Some time ago, we suppressed it too harshly, but I am afraid that the people of the Holy Lukia Kingdom are really secretly fighting with the Demon King Army......" Grand Duke Kelzanos said with his head down. The coalition army was defeated, but the defenders did not open the gates, and the only reason was that the defenders had already taken refuge in the enemy.
"Damn, they thought that after joining the Demon King Army, there would be no benefit! The Demon King's army burns, kills, loots, and does all kinds of evil, and the Demon King himself is reckless and reckless, and they will not have a good life if they surrender, what a bunch of fools! The Duke of Frankgert slapped his thigh, "No, we must not let them go easily." Besiege! ”
"No!" The saint stopped him, "The city of Ostacia is high and deep, and it cannot be broken, but it will be a waste of troops and time. Let's ask them why they didn't open the gates. ”
As she spoke, she amplified her voice and asked in a loud voice, "Is Cardinal Regulina here?" Dare to ask why the gates were closed and I was not allowed to enter? ”
There was no sound at the top of the city, no one answered, only the soldiers standing guard at the top of the city remained motionless.
"Cardinal Regulina! Can this move by the Kingdom of Holy Lukia be seen as a betrayal of the coalition? The holy woman lifted her breath and asked again.
Still no one answered, and the defenders didn't even have a good expression.
"Ladies of the Holy Lukia Kingdom, are you resentful of the Coalition or us? Say it, in the name of my Alicia Idores, I will surely give you a satisfactory result. The saint changed her tone and asked in a low voice.
But even so, there was no reaction in the city, it was like a dead city. Only the faint commotion of the city reminded them that this was indeed Ostachia, not something they had imagined.
"The people of the Holy Lukia Kingdom seem to have made up their minds not to let us in, and they don't even answer." The saint retreated, her brow furrowed.
"So what do we do?" Duke Frankert asked.
"For today's plan, we can only go around the city, and the people of the Holy Lukia Kingdom will not dare to go out of the city to attack us." The saint said helplessly.
Ostachia was built under her auspices, so she naturally knows how strong it is, and where it is so easy to lay? If the coalition army has enough time at the moment, it can rely on the advantage of strength to fight slowly, but at this time, the demon king army is chasing after the coalition army, and the coalition army only has the ability to flee for their lives, how can they have the ability to attack the city?
These people in the Kingdom of Holy Lukia are truly hateful!
"That's all there is to it. Hmph, these people's brains are only afraid of water. We can't enter the city, can the Demon King Army also go around the city? Then they will be attacked, and then I will see what they do. Duke Franker said angrily.
Ostacia is on the main road, and the coalition army can bypass it and enter the territory of Aldesia, but the demon army will not dare to go around. If they went around, the Holy Lukia Kingdom Army in the city could send troops to intercept their back route, and as long as the Demon King Army did not reach an agreement with the Holy Lukia Kingdom Army, it would be impossible for them to commit such a near-suicidal act.
However, if the Demon King Army really dares to go around, it means that the Holy Lukia Kingdom and the Demon King Army have reached an agreement in private, and the situation faced by the coalition and the Aldesia Kingdom will be the worst. The Kingdom of Sacred Lukia, which has not suffered much damage since the start of the war, is flanked by the Demon King Army, and the Aldesia Kingdom and the coalition army sandwiched in the middle are afraid that they will not last a few days.
Let's hope the situation hasn't been hit like that......
When the order to go around the city was issued, the whole army was in an uproar.
The soldiers didn't know the inside story like the general, but they managed to escape back to their base camp but didn't let them in, and the fool knew that something was wrong.
"These bastards of the Holy Lukia Kingdom are so public in their personal vendetta!"
"I have already taken refuge in the Demon King Army, I really didn't expect it."
"We didn't wronged them at all, and we pretended to be innocent!"
"Damn, all the people of the Holy Lukia Kingdom deserve to die!"
"Be careful, the Holy Maiden is also from the Kingdom of Holy Lukia."
……
The soldiers were angry and cursed, but they were powerless to change the situation, so they could only follow the order and move forward along the city walls.
This scene can't help but look a little weird to the Demon King Army who are chasing the arrival of the coalition army.
"The coalition forces didn't even enter Ostachia? What are they thinking? Barnaby was suspicious, and he only felt that there was some kind of conspiracy hidden here.
Although the coalition army was defeated, if they relied on the city to defend, the demon king army was still helpless. It is common sense in the art of war that the besieging side has at least three times the strength of the defending side to offset the convenience of the city. But now they don't take advantage of this city that they have built so hard, what are they thinking?
Is it a tactic to lure the demon king army to chase after it, and then let the defenders in the city kill it and intercept the back road? That's a little too pediatric, a fool would chase after him in this situation.
"It's a little weird indeed." Number Seven is also puzzled. No matter how you look at it, this is a scene that does not conform to the common sense of the art of war, even if they want to engage in some kind of conspiracy, it is a little too outrageous.
Unless, is it a last resort for them?
After Seeing from afar that there was only the banner of the Holy Lukia Kingdom on the city of Ostacia, but there was no flag of the other countries of the coalition army, Seven suddenly had a thought in his heart: Could it be that the coalition forces suddenly engaged in infighting?
But it shouldn't be. Li Qinglan's strength and IQ are all there, how could there be such a big mistake in the coalition army......
Before he could think of it, he heard Josephine say excitedly, "You see, is there only one kind of flag left in the city of Ostacia?" The kingdom of Holy Lukia seems to have shut them all out! ”
"What? Is there such a thing? Barnaby was taken aback and then overjoyed, "Great, this is a great opportunity!" The coalition forces can't enter the city, there is no danger to rely on, just enough to completely destroy them! ”
"Please be cautious, it's impossible for the coalition forces to make such a big mess for no reason!" Seven hurriedly said. Li Qinglan was on the other side, which made him dare not easily believe that there was such a good thing as pie in the sky.
"Well, it's better to be cautious and grab a few tongues and ask." Barnaby calmed down and ordered.
Number Seven personally intervened, caught up with the end of the coalition forces, and returned with a few prisoners. After interrogating them with spells, the unlucky ones quickly confessed that the Holy Lukia Kingdom Army, which was in charge of defending the city, had closed the gates for no reason, keeping all the coalition forces out!
"Hahahaha, God help me!" Barnaby said in high spirits, "Leave three thousand men to watch Ostachia, and the rest will chase me!" This time, to get rid of them once and for all! ”
