Place Royal, in the middle of the auditorium.

West Bank forces.

Rogge, dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a hat, listened to his men's reports.

"My lord, the latest news. ”

The member of the organization glanced cautiously at the patrolling guards, and then whispered into Rog's ear: "The Kingdom Army has just launched the largest offensive in history, and the high-level forces on the front line are seriously insufficient, and the city defense is close to collapse. ”

"God help me West Bank!"

Rogge changed his downward trend, and his eyes scanned the venue: "In this trouble in the kingdom, at least 4/5 of the high-level forces in the square must be sent to the front line, otherwise some basic fortifications will not be able to be deployed, and this time we are not without a chance of winning." ”

"Tell me to go down. ”

Rogge's eyes flashed with determination: "When the coronation ceremony begins, do it immediately, even if you pay the price of total annihilation, you must kill Princess Thea, even if you can't kill her, you must make this coronation ceremony go on." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

This member avoided the eyes and ears of the guards, and informed the members of the organization who were hiding in various corners one by one.

There are kingdom forces with the same purpose.

The person in charge, Rocky, also received the news from the front line as soon as possible, and he said to several members: "Because I overestimated the speed of Princess Thea's movement, so that I did not set up an ambush on Princess Thea's way to the square, and wasted an opportunity given by God. But this time the military has already covered us, and this will be the only chance we have left. ”

The odds of completing the mission have increased.

With the main force of the Kingdom Army attracting Saint Laurent outside, then the garrison of the square must be empty, and with his status as a shadow mage, it is not hopeless to kill Thea.

Although this hope is still a bit low.

But even if they can't kill Xia, as long as this ceremony can't go on, then even if they win.

Although these two groups of people have never collaborated with each other.

But the same world, the same dream, no words, no agreement, they are silently waiting for Vega to open the garrison here to the front line, the moment when the coronation ceremony of Princess Xiya begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of the dynasty. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the kingdom's sake. ”

"Please show your determination to die!"

The two groups of people gathered together according to the predetermined location, and quietly formed a formation of mages to be used in war, and they only waited for the moment to decide their character.

————

Tick tock.

Time waits for no one, and even though it is a dilemma, Vega has to make a choice.

Either let the high-ranking forces here go to the front, or force the coronation.

Either way, the cost is not something Vega can afford.

So how do you choose?

Under Ilo's surprised gaze.

In the end, Vega had no choice between them, and he ordered Iroh: "Send our army of recruits to defend the city, and if you really can't defend the city gates, then just give up." ”

"General, you mean...... Abandon the gates?"

Iroh's mouth opened wide, and at this moment he even felt that he had misheard.

Once the city gate is abandoned, the kingdom army will inevitably drive straight in, so even if the coronation ceremony ends perfectly, I am afraid that Xiya will become the shortest-lived emperor in the history of the dynasty-

Just crowned and guillotined.

Although Iloh is not a general or a professional staff officer, even if a three-year-old child chooses this choice, he knows that the city defense is big and the coronation ceremony is small.

The failure of the coronation may deal a blow to the prestige of the royal family, and even become a joke among the countries of the Jialan Continent, but next time there is a chance to choose another auspicious day for the zodiac to be re-crowned.

If the gates are broken.

Then there is no need to talk about the future, everyone will die in this Saint Laurent city.

So Iloh didn't believe it.

He absolutely did not believe that a general, who had no last resort, would make such an irrational decision.

Maybe...... Is it just a slip of the tongue?

With this thought, Iloh couldn't help but reconfirm, but the answer Vega gave was exactly the same as the first time-

Give up the gates!

It's true, it's really giving up the city gates.

Iro, who had never asked why, had never refuted Vega, couldn't help but ask in his voice this time: "General, the stakes are very high, please think twice before acting." Even the dull brain of the subordinate officer understands the powerful relationship, if this order is issued, Saint Laurent may not be protected, and our army has no way to retreat!"

"Lieutenant, carry out the order. ”

Vega's undoubted voice echoed, although his face was immature, but his appearance of not being angry and threatening made Iro's heart tremble, and his brain immediately calmed down, even he didn't expect that he would dare to question the general......

"I'm sorry, general, I'm going to deliver the order. ”

Iloh went to give the order as soon as possible, and he had already made up his mind in his heart to share the pressure on Vega, who had given him everything, and this time let him personally command the Recruit Corps and the Imperial Army, blocking the enemy's 200,000 army from the gates.

The momentum is high.

Iloh hypnotized himself, "Ilo, you can. After all, you have also taken the city of Saint Laurent under the hands of the Kingdom Army, and this time it is just a simple defense battle than a siege war, and you will definitely be able to do it. ”

Verbal encouragement doesn't change the situation.

When Iro arrived at the castle tower with the army of recruits, a fireburst smashed right on his side, and he was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground, and the momentum of the 200,000 army in front of him made all his ambitions disappear.

"It's over, this time it's really over. ”

Ilo crept forward to a safer corner and shivered, he knew that ordinary soldiers alone could not stop the enemy's magical blows, and without the reinforcements of high-level forces, the castle tower would be lost within half an hour.

What can you do in half an hour?

It was only 11:30 half an hour later, and there was still half an hour before the start of the coronation ceremony, and I am afraid that the coronation ceremony would not even be completed by then, and the war airship of the Kingdom Army would be killed directly in the Royal Square.

There was despair in Iro's eyes: "General, this time you are indeed wrong. ”

"Wrong, very wrong. ”

Vega, who looked down at the whole square condescendingly, laughed: "United Kingdom, United Kingdom, this time I want you to know what is really wrong. ”

Taking the city gate is victory in the war?

What kind of arrogant commander can equate a thin door with victory in war?

It's not blind confidence.

The bronze statue that stands on the upper floor of the city of Kareni is a living proof of this.

The kingdom is at fault, it has not learned the lessons of the defeat in the city of Kareni in the north of the empire, and has not taken the so-called 'general trend' and 'popular will' into account.

Even a male lion did not dare to make a move on the herd.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current city of Saint Laurent has the potential of all the people of Carini to become soldiers, and it is still more than that, and the introduction to the powder keg of Saint Laurent is the city gate.

If the Kingdom Army dares to break through the city gates, Vega will have the honor to witness the true all-hands soldiers once again.
