Chapter 172: The Battle of Doret X

Goliath Felder looked into the other's eyes, and Ludwig remained as calm as ever. He paid no attention to the countless enemies outside the city who were besieging the city, as if it were just the ebb and flow of the tide, and there would always be a time to retreat.

"I have come into contact with the Holy Maiden Gloria, and although she seems noble and holy, she is the heir to magic as rumored"

"Captain Field, please rest assured. The reason why Goliath was called a saint in the first place, and the reason why she was able to become the ruler of the Empire of St. August, was because she was publicly executed in Glyncor, but she was able to stand alive in the city of Doret the next day. And today something else will happen, convincing the entire continent once again that she is the only woman on the continent who has supreme power and magic at the same time. ”

"I've never seen it with my own eyes, it's just rumors. Fidel responded.

"If there are rumors, won't you look forward to it?" Ludwig said, glancing at the moon shield around Fed's waist with his eyes, "Although all the plans are going according to my expectations now, you and Golia are the vital part, and I believe that when everything is finished under my command, the Theoguna Empire will also get the results it wants." Ludwig turned away without leaving a chance to ask questions.

After the Winter Nation and his four retinues left, the messenger of the Chief of the General Staff, Stanley, also arrived, saying that Stanley had ordered the mercenaries to defend the place, and that the Chief of the General Staff intended to make the southern sub-city the main battlefield, but the junction of the walls must not be breached.

At the same time, a middle-aged man dressed in a simple gray linen coat and holding a folded ear cat in both hands was standing in the middle of the city of Doret. The man, blindfolded with a coarse cloth, stood in front of a tavern. There were no more people walking around the streets of Doret City, except for the soldiers who had been transferred, most of the residents had taken refuge in their houses, and some refugees who had no shelter had fled to the shelters set up by the Western Guna Empire.

There was a young man running wildly on the street who didn't notice the man, seeing that he was about to bump into the other party, the blindfolded middle-aged man just turned around slightly and avoided the other party, not looking blind at all.

"Am I wrong to stand here?" the man whispered to his folded cat, but the cat meowed, responding in a voice that only his owner could understand.

After Fidel left Ludwig, he realized that the only last card in the Theoguna Empire was Virgen Golia. If she was really the heir to magic, the last magician on the continent, she should have used magic on the 200,000 enemies before the sub-city gate was breached, and if she was really a powerful magician, she should have stood up and repelled the invading army with her own strength, and then led the troops of the Western Oguna Empire to destroy the Eastern Oguna Empire.

But none of this happened, so Feder preferred to believe that even if the Virgin Golia wore a white robe that represented the sacred, even if her temperament and appearance were astonishing, Goliath was not a magician, but only a vain.

"Commander, those enemy infantry are coming!" Squad Leader Leonard ran back from the front, he pointed to the bottom of the wall of the sub-city, which was already crowded with soldiers of the East Oguna Empire who had attacked the sub-city to the south, and was advancing above the wall. Möngke's own men and other defenders fought the enemy in close quarters at the passage leading to the top of the city walls.

And just when Ludwig and Fed were talking, a siege tower, under the cover of two mobile arrow towers, was already approaching the side of the wall where Feder was! There was no way to attack the siege tower with a defensive trebuchet in this direction and distance, so within two minutes, the huge siege tower would definitely "bite" the wall.

Fed immediately ordered his men to retreat, and ordered all the crossbowmen to aim at the still approaching siege tower, ready to meet the enemy who rushed out of the tower when the bridge was lowered. Fei De also held the "silence" in his hand, and in such a narrow and crowded passage of the city wall, there was no advantage in using a two-handed sword. But even so, now is not the time to run away and get out of here, you must face the tide of enemies, this is your default choice.

"Don't rush up. "Ayana drew arrows, took bows, and shot arrows in one go, and the siege infantry who exposed their backs to Ayana were all killed with a single blow, and most of the soldiers were shot in the neck, which was an unprotected fatal part.

"I'll stand in front of my crew. Fidel used his sword to block a crossbow arrow from below, but Ayana had already dodged it sideways, and even if he did, the arrow wouldn't hurt her.

"Don't rush up anyway! Ayana still didn't look at Fidel as she said this, she looked already highly focused. Nur, who was standing beside her, took out the enchanted halberd "Sun" wrapped in coarse cloth and held it in both hands.

Fidel didn't respond, the fighting between the two sides gradually drowned out everyone's words, and the distant wall had already been breached. Countless soldiers of the Theoguna Empire guarding the walls were killed, and most of their bodies were thrown off the walls by the invading army. More hoplites emerged from the siege towers, mostly with steel knives and swords, and some with hammers and axes, but they were all dressed in heavy steel armor and were unusually bulky. Such a thick soldier was almost invincible in hand-to-hand combat on the city walls, and the relatively poorly equipped Theoguna Imperial infantry did not have any advantage, and Lord Möngke's own soldiers were no match for the hoplites, and they were quickly suppressed and retreated.

"Down!" Marcus shouted, alerting all the mercenaries guarding the walls. The more than ten meters tall behemoth stopped, and then put down its "tongue" fiercely, and smashed on the battlements of the southern sub-city, and several mercenaries who couldn't dodge were immediately hit on the head by the bridge board and fell to the ground, and their heads were bleeding. In an instant, dozens of hoplites in preparation rushed out from the inside of the siege tower, but the crossbowmen of the mercenary group were the first to shoot arrows that were already aimed at them.

"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh!" In an instant, more than a dozen hoplites of the East Oguna Empire were shot, and many of them lost their center of gravity because they were shot by arrows, fell to the side from the "tongue" of the siege tower, and fell directly from the wall more than ten meters high, and were immediately strung up by the spike traps built under the city wall, and were killed immediately.

Feder pushed his men away and stood at the junction of the walls, and there were some of the lord's personal soldiers and regular troops in front of him, but the guards standing on the walls of the sub-city to the south were estimated to not last long. And Fei De also saw that Lord Möngke had taken the lead, constantly wielding the weapons in his hands to slash and kill the enemy, but even if one person was brave, he could not resist the dense hoplites.

Ayana also squeezed out of the group of mercenaries and stood beside Fid, with Nur holding the "sun" in both hands behind her, "Captain Fid, let's defend this place together!" Noor shouted.

Matthews also shouted: "That's right, since we have chosen to defend the city, we will not be shrinking turtles!" Although this rough man usually doesn't talk much, he has already rubbed his hands, holding the golden axe in his hand tightly, and his eyes are also fixed on those enemies who are about to break through.

An arrow from the moving arrow tower grazed past Field's ear, causing a drop of blood to bleed as he stared ahead, and landed on Black Flash's shoulder armor. Ayana immediately fired back and shot the archer who had placed the arrow in the arrow tower, but when Ayana shot the man, Fei De could not react from the injury to his ear, because he saw two people who looked like Avi and Van at the broken gate of the vice city!

From this distance, it was impossible to see the two figures clearly, but the figures that were different from the infantry of the East Oguna Empire wearing heavy armor were indeed very similar to the two subordinates before him. One of them also carried an iron gun on his back, which was a weapon of the big-nosed fan.

Feder closed his eyes and opened them again, and found that the two figures had disappeared, and the infantry pouring out of the city gate was like ants in an anthill, and it was almost impossible to find them with the naked eye.

"Captain, your ears are bleeding!" Marcus's shout brought Fidel back to his senses, but before he could heed the wound on his ear, he noticed that Patrick had crossed the wall at the junction of the walls and turned over to Lord Montgo's defensive area.

"Squadron Leader Patrick rushed over on his own!" shouted Squad Leader Leonard.

Patrick rushed into the crowd of the Lord's own soldiers, and after a while, he carried out Lord Mönggo, who was already covered in blood, and ran towards the junction of the city walls. Several archers were aiming at the back of the champion gladiator, ready to shoot the nobleman who appeared to be badly wounded, but Ayana found them all and took them out first.

"Hurry up and take Lord Möngke to the rear for treatment!" "When Fid knew that Möngke had decided to protect that area, he was already looking at it as if he were going to die, and he didn't stop it because it was the other party's choice. But now Meng Ge, who is dying and covered with wounds all over his body, has been rescued by Patrick, and he must not die without saving him.

The hoplites who had escaped from the siege towers and the invading army that had come from below the city walls and from the south side of the city walls flanked the middle area, and Lord Möngke's own soldiers and the rest of the soldiers defending the city were powerless to resist, and very few of them could exchange one for one, and most of them were slashed with several knives and killed in an instant. One of the soldiers of the Theoguna Empire had already been struck with several swords, but he still used all his strength to hold on to the three enemies, and then rolled down the steps of the city wall together, knocking down many hoplites of the invading army along the way, which was just a microcosm of the tug-of-war for the defense of the sub-city.

There were also many crossbowmen shooting at this side on the walls of the sub-city to the east, but looking at the black-pressed enemies in the sub-city, and the countless invading troops outside the city waiting to climb the siege tower, Marcus and Nur could see despair in their eyes.

But just then, the Virgen Golia slowly walked to the walls of the city of Doret, and Feder was the first to notice her, for the moon shield around her waist was the first weapon to notice Golia's appearance.
