The Holy Empire's armies are at least twice as powerful as the Free Alliance when they are equal in numbers, not only because the soldiers spend far more energy and resources on training than the latter, but also because the generals of the Holy Empire have more command than the other side.

When the vanguard of the Second Legion made it to the fortress, everyone thought that victory was only a matter of time before they were completely broken apart by the Free Alliance fighters at the fortress walls. Soon, however, Paul found things out of his grasp......

The division that rushed into the fortress first lost contact within half an hour, and two hours later, the huge division of 3,000 people did not even make it out alive.

Paul's heart suddenly felt a little chilly, looking at the gap exposed in the city wall, the general couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that this is a trap set by the other party?

However, even if the Sanyuan Fortress has many internal organs, it is too whimsical to use the strength of one army against two major armies with this point. There has never been an organ on this continent that can restrain an entire legion.

What's more, the successive defeats of the Freedom Alliance since the start of the war still make them soberly realize: In fact, many secrets of the Freedom Alliance are not really so secret?

The Three-Element Fortress is indeed impregnable, but if the internal structure diagram is all under control, what is the point of a strong fortress?

The only question now is......

And when Paul was hesitating, Charlie could not get a little impatient and sent out one of his vanguard divisions. The same three thousand. The combination of various professions made the composition of the team more suitable for the battle within the fortress than Paul's division, and there were dozens of priests with them...... It's already an elite division.

Such a lineup. Charlie is even confident that he will directly break through the city defenses of the Freedom Alliance, no matter how strong the Sanyuan Fortress is, no matter how dangerous it is, it is impossible to defeat the army of the Holy Empire in a close battle!

Paul looked at Charlie. For the sake of insurance, at the same time, an additional division of his own was dispatched, and the size of the 6,000-strong team was already extremely large, and it was even more spectacular when spread out. In comparison, the majestic Sanyuan Fortress is a little smaller.

In this way, it should be theoretically foolproof......

An hour later, however, both divisions had lost contact within the fortress.

This time, the accompanying priests used magic to form a water screen projection of what happened in the fortress, and reacted in front of the two generals in real time.

And the battles that took place in the fortress. It sent chills down the cracks to everyone watching the projection.

That...... It can no longer be called a battle, it is a completely one-sided slaughter.

Since the war between the two superpowers, the Holy Legion has repeatedly slaughtered its opponents, but this time. It was the soldiers of the Holy Legion who fell under the butcher's knife frequently.

The terrain in the fortress is complicated, although the soldiers of the Holy Empire have already practiced this, but in actual combat, it is inevitable that it will be divided into pieces, it stands to reason that the individual combat power has the upper hand, and the Holy Legion should quickly control the situation, but the actual situation is completely reversed.

The soldiers of the Freedom Alliance did not suddenly become very strong, and there were no large number of Dream Builders hidden in the fortress. It's still those soldiers, but these soldiers are like ghosts and gods. There is an incredible tacit understanding between each other. One Holy Empire soldier may be able to defeat two Free Alliance soldiers, but when the number rises to two. At three, the gap in combat power between the two sides will be sharply narrowed.

And this tacit understanding. Not only between three or five people, but in the entire fortress, there are thousands of soldiers with these ghosts and gods, and they can defeat the most enemies with the least strength on any battlefield, and every attack can hit the opponent's most painful place. And it is elusive, coming and going without a trace, and making the best use of the terrain. ...,

The soldiers of the Holy Empire were indeed fighting hard, but in the face of their opponents in great condition, the warriors of the Golden Armor were still defeated and retreated, and in the end, even escaping from the trap became a luxury, and surrounded by enemies no less than their own, the soldiers of the Holy Empire fell one after another, and finally the entire army was destroyed.

Seeing the scenes on the battlefield through the water screen projection, the two corps commanders, Paul and Charlie, felt a chill all over their bodies...... The way the Freedom Alliance soldiers fought reminded them of those Dream Builders...... Only the Dream Builder's Dream Legion can make every movement with the precision of a puppet under the control of its master.

It's just that even those dream builders who specialize in this way are difficult to command their subordinates to fight such a battle, not because of their lack of control ability, but because of their lack of command ability.

Now in command of the fortress must be the most brilliant commander Paul and Charles have ever seen.

The number of soldiers of the Free Alliance who actually fought in the fortress was about 8,000, and in half a day, they annihilated 9,000 opponents who were far superior to them one after another, and the price paid was only two or three thousand dead and wounded. This terrifying exchange ratio is simply the level of the Imperial Guard!

It is a miracle to bring a group of soldiers of mediocre strength to the level of the Guards Legion just through the art of command!

"Fortunately, there are really not many of them......

Among the 8,000 people on the other side, there are obvious strengths and weaknesses, of which 3,000 are absolute elites, and they cooperate with each other to the point of incredible, and the remaining 5,000 people are obviously weaker. Paul and Charlie didn't know why, though—there was no mention of the Mind Control Tower in their possession of the Fortress Materials. But that doesn't prevent them from making basic calculations.

After half a day of fighting, while achieving remarkable results, the Freedom Alliance also paid a tragic price, with more than half of the most elite 3,000 killed and wounded, and the remaining 5,000 casualties, although the casualties were slightly lower, but the overall combat strength had dropped significantly.

On the other hand, although the Holy Legion suffered heavy losses, there were still many divisions and regiments capable of fighting, with a total strength of up to 80,000, which still occupied an overwhelming advantage.

"Take a short rest and continue to fight at night, constantly oppressing the other side, although the commander of the fortress is very clever, but the physical strength of the soldiers is limited. ”

Paul finally made a decision, Charlie was unwilling, but he also admitted that it was better to rest for a while, and let the commanders of each division carefully analyze what they saw and heard in the water screen projection.

The strength of the opponent lies only in the subtlety of command, and if you can grasp some flaws of the opponent's commander, you can effectively reduce losses and expand the results of the battle.

In the evening, two more divisions were sent to attack the city, and at this time the long-range fire of the fortress was almost completely muted, and 6,000 men entered the fortress along the broken walls without hindrance, and began to engage in fierce battles with the garrison soldiers.

The number of people in the Freedom Alliance was smaller, but the strange thing was that the number of elites had not decreased, and the number of warriors with those ghosts and gods was still at 3,000, so the Holy Legion soon could not resist the oppression of the other party and gradually retreated. Although the end of the total annihilation of the army was avoided, more than half of the casualties only caused more than 1,000 casualties to the other side, which is still discouraged.

This time, Charlie couldn't help it: "I'll do it myself!"

Paul wanted to stop it, but he remembered that almost a day had passed, tens of thousands of casualties, but the other side of the fortress was still standing, and knew that it would be difficult to change the situation without taking some drastic measures. And Charlie, who is young and aggressive, and at the same time has good martial arts, is obviously more suitable than him to be this fierce medicine.

With the addition of Charles and his guards, the Holy Empire quickly gained the upper hand, pushing back the Free Alliance soldiers who had stormed out of the fortress.

This time, Charlie personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and did not rush too far forward, but under layers of protection, he effectively commanded and fought steadily. Little by little, it eats away at each other's activity space. ...,

However, when the Freedom Alliance retreated, they also left corpses behind each other. For a time, the Sanyuan Fortress was like a meat grinder, constantly eating away at the lives of the soldiers of the two countries. As the Holy Empire progresses, so does the resistance...... It's as if the previous opponent didn't show all his strength.

However, all this, under the absolute superiority of power, seems so insignificant.

In the end, after paying a huge sacrifice, Charlie personally led the team and forced the main force of the Freedom Alliance in the fortress into a corner, and the range of movement was squeezed to the limit, and it was no longer possible to use that elusive effort.

Victory is entirely a matter of time.

At this time, Paul, who was in charge of the defense, always felt that something was wrong, and his intuition after years of fighting made him feel like a man on his back and not at peace.

The commander of the other side is a brilliant figure that has never been seen before, and it stands to reason that he will not be driven to a dead end, right? Although no matter how you look at it, the Freedom Alliance people will not have a chance to turn the tables. The result of one army against two legions is predestined from the beginning.

So, if the other party wants to turn the tables, what will they do? Now that they are getting along in different places, what chance do they have to turn the tables?

And just when Paul was wondering, he suddenly heard a guard next to him exclaim: "Assassin!"

The general's reaction was extremely quick, and he immediately sat up from the wooden chair and threw himself at the guards next to him. Although he has good personal combat skills, he does not have to be reckless when encountering Assassins, and it is wisest to leave it to the guards around him.

As the Legion Commander, Paul had first-class guards around him, but when the black light flashed, none of the guards around Paul had time to react effectively.

The guards who were the first to call out the Assassin reacted the fastest, lunging in front of Paul, trying to defend the general with their bodies. However, he was still a little slower, and the assassin's dagger stabbed General Paul in the chest first.

Fluttering, the muffled sound of blades entering flesh, and splashes of blood.

Time seemed to stand still in this instant
