。 The armies of the Holy Empire are coming quickly.

There is no doubt that these powerful invaders have unique intelligence channels, and Li Nana has only left the fortress for less than a day, and two legions with nearly 50,000 people have approached the city, which is really breathtaking.

In fact, in the previous month, the Freedom Alliance's continuous defeats were not only due to the fact that the quality of ordinary soldiers was too far apart, but also that the Freedom Alliance had been repeatedly controlled by others and played with applause on the strategic level.

However, this situation has changed a little bit now.

Regarding the temporary decision made by Li Nana, the commander of the Sanyuan Fortress, the commander of the Second Legion of the Holy Empire, was quite puzzled.

According to the information, although Li Nana has quite clever command skills, as a woman, especially a young woman, her decisiveness is not enough, and it is difficult to make a decisive choice in the first place when the situation is in dire straits.

But now she resolutely took most of the troops in the fortress to flank the Guards! Although from a strategic point of view, this is the best choice at the moment, but from Li Nana's point of view. Whether it is to face the terror of the Guards Legion and the Holy High Priest in person, or to directly expose the fortress with empty troops in front of the Holy Emperor** Regiment, it is an extremely risky decision.

With the usual behavior of the Freedom Alliance, it is likely that they really stood in the fortress like ostrich turtles, until the fall of Shengzhou Castle, the Guards Legion turned back, and combined with the two major legions to attack the city, causing the city to fall, and then show a trace of remorse.

As a well-known conservative among the Holy Emperors, Paul, the commander of the Second Legion, did not recommend launching a strong attack at this moment.

But Charlie, the commander of the Third Legion, who fought alongside him, laughed at him for his cowardice.

"It's obviously just an empty plan by the Freedom Alliance, and if such a rare fighter plane is missed, it will be a shame for future generations to be ashamed!"

The two captains disagreed, although Paul was more senior. But at this moment, on the grounds that things are abnormal, it is really unreasonable to put the whole army on standby, after all, there is only about half of the three-month deadline set by His Majesty to attack the Free City. In desperation, Paul had no choice but to change his opinion.

"With several times the number of troops, the quality of the soldiers is better...... Although the opponent is reluctant, we have a better chance of winning. ”

With this in mind, Paul ordered the Second Legion to officially sound the horn of the siege.

To be honest, the Liberty League's complete flinching posture from the very beginning did exceed Paul's expectations. In general city defense battles. The defenders of the city rely on the advantages of being close to the stronghold and convenient supply, and frequently go out of the city to fight with the opponent in the field. Because that would mean giving up the entire area except the fortress.

As long as the Holy Empire cut off supplies, or dig up water sources, the people in the fortress will be trapped alive.

However, the current situation is that the Holy Emperor ** Regiment needs to break through the fortress quickly, and it can't really wait for the Guards Legion and Li Nana's Third Legion to separate the victory. Otherwise, even if the Guards Legion wins, the commanders of these two legions will be ashamed.

The Second Legion was the first to strike, a row of twenty super-heavy catapults, throwing heavy boulders one after another, trying to smash the thick walls of the fortress. Each of these super-heavy catapults is equipped with enhanced components projected by a high-level dream builder, and its performance is far superior to that of ordinary craftsmen's catapults, with a maximum range of nearly a kilometer. Extremely far away can launch a deadly attack.

However, these cloud-like boulders fell on the city wall, and after a muffled sound like rolling thunder, they only splashed up a cloud of dust and a few grains of rubble. The thick and neat city walls still stand...,

Of course, the catapult has a fantasy component, but it is the wall of the three-element fortress. Nor is it a product of the plane of reality!

Paul frowned, and was about to order his men to replace them with more powerful blasting bombs, but at this moment, he saw a huge rock also flying in the fortress, weaving a dense web like dark clouds in the sky...... It's a catapult in a fortress, with the same range, but with an accuracy superior to yours!

And it was just a few breaths of effort, and the boulder fell to the ground one after another, although the Dream Builder built a fortification in time to resist. Seven or eight catapults were still destroyed.

Paul sighed, knowing that the Freedom Alliance's industrial strength and Dream Builder's ability were above those of the Holy Empire, and it seemed that there was no chance of winning simply by fighting equipment......

"Then, let the priests prepare for action, the special legion of the Sanyuan Fortress has been transferred. There shouldn't be a lot of Dream Builders in the stronghold. ”

At the same time, not far from him, Charlie, the commander of the Third Legion, made the same judgment and sent his own Dream Builders and Priests to join up with the Second Legion, trying to use the power of dreams to crush the forces of the fortress.

Since the most powerful Clerics and Dream Builders were already assembled in the Guards, the power that Charlie and Paul could call upon was at best limited to the pinnacle of the high-level Dream Builders. But it was enough for them to summon a huge meteorite from the sky and slam into the ternary fortress on the ground.

The huge meteorite fell from the sky with the cloak of flames, and it seemed to be unstoppable, and no matter how strong the walls of the Sanyuan Fortress were, it could not withstand the collision of the meteorite.

Paul and Charlie, through the telescope, could clearly see some of the defenders on the city walls, already showing horrified expressions.

If General Patton's Special Legion were still there, there would be a thousand ways to smash the meteorite in mid-air, but at this moment...... The strength in the fortress is indeed not enough to cope with such a scene!

Bang!

Finally, under the expectant eyes of countless people, the meteorite was guided by the priests and accurately hit the outer wall of the fortress, and the seemingly solid and unshakable city wall collapsed in an instant!

"Good!"

The two legion commanders applauded in unison, although after such a bombardment, the strength of the priests and dream builders was seriously depleted, but the strongest outer wall of the Sanyuan Fortress was destroyed, and no matter how you look at it, the overall situation is decided.

Even Paul wondered if he had been too cautious before...... No matter how much intrigue is devised and intrigued, the outer walls of the fortress will not be handed over. It can be seen that the strength in the fortress is really insufficient at this time.

As a very senior general in the army, he was actually deceived by the opponent's empty city plan, Paul sighed, and decided to redeem his mistakes on the battlefield.

So the Second Legion, as the vanguard army, took the lead and rushed to the broken walls of the Sanyuan Fortress.

Along the way, they naturally encountered a resolute counterattack from the fortress, and from the arrow tower behind the city wall, feathered arrows poured down like a torrential rain, and although the Holy Legion held up heavy shields, there were still people in the ranks who fell down from time to time screaming, and were killed by sharp arrows drilled through the gaps in the shields.

Even in the rain of arrows, there will be a small number of powerful armor-piercing arrows that do not belong to the real plane, which can pierce the shield and injure the soldiers behind.

The casualties were not low, but the soldiers of the Holy Empire turned a blind eye to what lay ahead, and marched firmly, approaching the fortress little by little, preparing to enter it and take it.

This kind of army, which completely ignores death, cannot be compared to even the most elite troops of the Freedom Alliance, and although the archers in the arrow tower hide in a safe place and only release their arrows, a trace of fear rises in their hearts at this time.

Those on the other side...... Is it really human?

Through special devices in the fortress, the archers can send out a rain of arrows ten times the normal level, and under such a dense long-range offensive strike, no force can block hard, but .........,

And just when the archers began to panic, the trebuchets of the Holy Legion were once again firing at full power, and at the same time, a large rain of fire fell from the sky, and the targets were all aimed at the fortress's arrow tower!

This time, the Dream Builder in the fortress finally began to strike, invisible shields, rock giants that suddenly appeared, and various distorted force fields...... Most of the attacks were halted from it, but there were still turrets that were devastated.

The troops are at an absolute disadvantage, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will still be dismantled by the opponent little by little.

And when the arrow towers were greatly reduced, it was no longer possible to restrict the advance of the Holy Legion.

Especially when those heavily armed soldiers walked in front of the ruins of the city wall, and the soldiers guarding behind the city wall were ready to take advantage of the opponent's long journey to give the opponent a thunderous blow......

More than seventy percent of the hoplites were all projections made by the opposing officers! Because of the serious shortage of Dream Builders in the fortress, and the fact that the commander did not make preparations in advance, the Dream Builders were always shrouded in the dream projections of the Dream Builders on the besieging troops, and what the Free Alliance soldiers saw was not the real scene on the battlefield at all!

The seemingly serious casualties were actually not serious, and the soldiers of the Holy Empire, who seemed to be physically exhausted, were actually fierce and in good condition!

"Kill!"

With a roar, the soldiers of the Holy Empire wearing golden armor rushed into the fortress like bamboos!

And the soldiers who were blocking the front line were almost crushed at the touch of a button, and they were killed in the dark!

After seeing the feedback images from the front line through the telescope and special devices, Legion Commander Paul couldn't help but smile: "Ha, it turned out to be the defeated ...... of the remnants of the army."

The soldiers of the Freedom Alliance, who are now being killed and crying for their fathers, are the remnants of the soldiers who were previously defeated by Paul. The Sanyuan Fortress is really empty of troops, and even this group of people has been transferred to the front line.

Charlie, who was beside him, was a little indignant and felt that Paul had the credit for the victory.

But in any case, victory is already in sight......

――――

At the same time, at the core of the fortress, a slender white palm slowly caressed the chessboard. ()
