Chapter 38: The First Round of Attack and Defense

"Your Highness Princess, the guards of the city walls are already equipped with strong bows in place, and the remaining bows and arrows are enough to deal with the first round of charge. The members of the Knights of the Rose www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion are also stationed at vulnerable locations on the walls, ready to give great gifts to the enemies who are waiting to break through the walls.

Eventually, the civilians who could fight had gathered under the walls, and if the situation on the walls got out of control, they would be the town's last line of defense, and they would have to face a vicious enemy. ”

Liliana was half a step behind and stood behind Pinna, slightly nervous but still reporting with a serious face.

Standing by the city wall, Pinna swept the dense enemy troops outside the city with a slightly blank gaze, and suddenly said in disbelief:

"Liliana, you say, am I being too indecisive? is obviously in the royal family, but he cares about the nihilistic blood relationship, and repeatedly restrains his hands, and as a result, those people gain an inch...... Could it be that as a royal family, is it destined to fight each other with close relatives? ”

"Your Highness the Princess... You're just too kind. ”

"Kindness? What did my kindness get in exchange? In exchange for their inch-in-the-inch and unscrupulous, now even the Imperial Army can collude, if this continues, will the Federal Kingdom be incorporated into the Holy Empire? ”

Ping Na put one hand on a delicate and gorgeous slender blade on her waist, it was a dragon slaying knife from the Jade Holy Country, which was once the sharp blade used by Bai Qi to kill the two-headed flying dragon, and after being repeatedly strengthened by the Demon Dao Society, the power was enough to match the so-called artifact of people in another world.

Later, as a testimony of the friendship between the two, it was given to Pinna by Bai Qi.

Stroking this treasure knife that once made the royal capital powerful salivate, Pingna's heart gradually calmed down.

"Your Excellency Bai Qi said in his last communication that he was going to hunt the Yan Dragon, and the Yan Dragon's activity area was nearby, I wonder if he would pass by here? ...... Ha, I really am, Your Excellency Bai Qi should be following the traces of Yanlong everywhere now, how can it appear here? ”

Turning around and walking down the city wall, Pinna's expression had completely calmed, but the plain hand on the hilt of the knife was firm and powerful.

"If you want my life, just try it, if it really comes to the last moment, I will not hesitate to release this knife, just let me see if you can force me to that point!"

Outside the city walls, the autumn wind was bleak, and the leading general waved his sword and pointed at the gate of the town.

"Brethren, do you see this little town? We are all elite troops who have experienced a hundred battles, and we have conquered countless cities! Look at the small city in front of us, is there any difference between it and the flat bottom for us? ”

"No, no, no!!"

"Yes, it's an insignificant city! However, in this city, there is now a big figure hidden, that is, Flower Pinna of the Kingdom of Caeris, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Federation Kingdom, and a strong contender for the future king.

Brothers, think about it, what kind of honor it would be if such a great man were killed, or even captured alive to the Empire? Gold, territories, and knighthoods will all be at your fingertips! ”

"Roar!!"

"What are you waiting for, capture Princess Pinna alive, rush!"

"Rush!"

Because it is a small town and it is remote, in fact, including the guards of the lord here, there are only a thousand guards in the entire town, plus the three hundred female knights brought by Pinna, the real warriors are actually only one thousand three hundred.

The people who charged outside the city were a full 20,000 elite legions of the Holy Empire, who swept the plains through the defenseless remnants of the kingdom, and then received news that Princess Pinna had appeared in the small town of Itarica, and now she pounced like a hungry wolf meeting her prey.

With the centuries-old grudge between the empire and the kingdom, once the city gate is broken, the imperial army will undoubtedly slaughter the city, and there will be no chickens and dogs left.

So, despite the desperate disparity in numbers, the guards fought as hard as they could under the command of Knight Ji.

"Prepare for archers, don't shoot blindly, shoot at the densest place in the crowd, and release arrows!"

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Under deliberate control, a round of bow and arrow fire achieved considerable results, leaving at least 1,800 lives, although insignificant compared to 20,000 men, but still enough to excite the guards.

"Falling rocks, rolling logs, and boiling oil are in place, and the boiling oil is put in place first to prevent the boiling oil from cooling, and at the same time, it can also lubricate the walls and increase the difficulty of their climbing.

When the boiling oil is used up, use stones and rolling logs, use stones against the fastest climbers, lone enemy troops, use rolling logs against patches of climbers, try to save weapons, but never let anyone go up to the walls, you know? ”

"Yes!"

Liliana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched the soldiers defend with all their might, at least in a mortal situation, these soldiers were aroused to fight, and the other general's general was self-defeating.

"Ah, it's oil, it's hot!!"

"Ahh

The Imperial Army charged towards the wall, which did not look very high, but it was also about four or five meters long, and then it was knocked down from the wall by the successive weapons of the defenders.

In one round of attacks, none of the Imperial Army attacked the city walls, but left thousands of lives, and then obediently retreated.

On the garrison's side, except for a few people who were accidentally smashed while carrying rolling logs, there were no casualties.

What seemed to be a great victory for the garrison, and the defenders and the residents of the castle who were ready to die with the enemy also cheered at the right time.

However, Liliana frowned and sighed faintly.

"Shouldn't you be happy after holding a round of attacks, what are you doing so melancholy?"

Pinna's flat voice sounded behind her, and Liliana turned her head, put her right fist to her heart, bowed, and made a knightly salute.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, although we successfully held the first round of attack, but the equipment we can use has also been used up, the next time the enemy charges, we are afraid that we will not be able to do anything except stare dryly, how can our subordinates not worry?"

"There's no need to worry about that, I've had people tear down the uninhabited houses."

Pinna smiled lightly and said lightly.

"You mean?" Liliana was stunned, then suddenly realized.

"Yes, the tiles, bricks, and beams with nails will surely give the Imperial Army under the castle an unforgettable experience."

"But... With all due respect, even if there is no shortage of weapons, with the courage and skill of the Imperial Army and the number of 20,000 men, we will not be able to defend against several waves of attacks!

Your Royal Highness, are you really not thinking about evacuating quietly? If our knights harass them at night and disturb their vision, the chances of letting Her Royal Highness escape are not impossible......"

"Liliana, do you know what will happen to the rest of the people if I evacuate?"

"Probably, it will be brutally slaughtered by the angry Imperial Army." Liliana said hesitantly, in fact, she should have removed about two words.

"Then how can I go?" Pinna turned around and stopped talking, but her slender back was full of determination.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

Liliana sighed silently, she and Pinna were also two little unsuspecting relationships, and she couldn't know more about Pinna's character.

But it was precisely because of this that she had a headache, and in the mind of the knight, the entire town, plus the three hundred people of the Knights of the Rose, including her own life, was by no means as important as the safety of her lord.

However, with Pinna's persistence, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to abandon the people and flee...... So, if necessary, maybe it's time to take special action.

While Liliana hesitated, Pinna had already made a surprising decision.

In the Itarica's Lord's Mansion, Pinna looked at the most powerful people in the current territory.

Lord Itarica, now only a little girl with her butler.

Liliana, the head of the Knights of the Roses, the most loyal of knights.

The commander of the Itarika Guard, a middle-aged uncle with the title of viscount.

With Pinna herself, this is all the high-level people that the entire Itarica can now call the shots.
