Chapter 167: The Battle of Doret V
Even before the siege battle began today, before dawn, Avi and Fan followed Captain Cyprus into the rear camp of the East Oguna Empire's attacking army. Avi added to his sleep only to find that there had been a tentative siege in the morning, and when he woke up, he realized that he had missed it.
"The people here are so dark that it is estimated that before it is our turn to do anything, Golia will be killed. "Big Nose Fan has lived many days of leisure and comfort, and it is a bit difficult for him to get up so early.
Avi was sharpening his Quenching Knight Sword, "Shouldn't we take a detour to the back of Doret City to prevent her from escaping?"
"The intelligence shows that Saint Golia has not left the underground palace for half a step, and the gates of Doret City have long been closed, and it seems that she has no intention of leaving Doret City. Janger, who lived with Avi and Fan, also took out his weapon, which was a very short dagger, but the triangular dagger blade was very special.
Avi glanced at the messy brown curls on Jang's head, "I heard that you used to work under her, do you think that Golia is planning some secret plans in the dungeon?"
"She's always had a lot of secrets, and she's been very mysterious," Jenger's curly brown hair almost blocked his eyes, "so I don't know much, but I have a way to solve the amazing assistants around her." ”
Avi and Fan exchanged glances, and they both knew that the red-haired girl Felistie had been one of the most capable assistants that Janger had spoken of, and perhaps even the most powerful. Avi recalls Felisty's "magic show" in the village stronghold of that ravine. If every Goliath's helper had that terrible ability, or if they were covered with the slightest bit of magical power, it would be a big hurdle before killing Goliath.
Sepra had already mentioned this earlier, and he said that the other twelve people could prioritize the elimination of these Golia's right-hand men, and then leave the Virgen Goliath to him. In fact, Avi didn't know what magical powers Saint Golia possessed, and Felistie said that illusion was just one of her strengths. Could it be that Goliath has a devastating magic that can make mountains collapse and make the ground crack?!
Jang saw that Avi was so engrossed that even the weapon polishing stone had fallen to the ground but he was still pushing the knight's sword there, "We're all here, don't think about it, just do your part." The big-nosed Fan also comforted Avi a little, anyway, after completing this task, Fan planned to take the money and leave the two-color blade mercenary group, which could be regarded as repaying the favor to Miss Delia.
While everyone was still chatting, the sound of siege weapons moving suddenly came from outside. At this time, General Cyprus walked in, looked at the three mercenaries and said, "Get ready, if it goes well, you will be able to take the capital of the rebels in the west today, Doret City!"
Avi, Van and Jang all looked slightly surprised, and Avi immediately remembered his former companions, the members of the Potato Mercenary Regiment. In his heart, he sincerely hoped that Senior Fei De had taken his former companions away from Doret City at this time, after all, from the information that General Cypra told them, it was known that this battle of Doret City had been completely controlled by the attacking army of the East Oguna Empire!
Captain Sepra had considered various ways to get close to Saint Golia, but all the information had indicated that the target they were going to assassinate had been hiding in the main city of Doret City, and he didn't even have much time to leave the inner city dungeon. It also leaves this special force with no other way to get close to their prey.
After Sepra's sole decision, this special force of thirteen men immediately moved from the border fortress to the offensive line. It turned out that the reason why the attacking army of the East Oguna Empire advanced slowly was due to the fact that some southern lords rebelled and rebelled. However, Marquis Baldwin, the lord of Golden Hoof who was stationed in his own city, took immediate action and quickly suppressed the uprising, including Windmill City.
At the same time, in order to fully implement the "offensive line plan" set by the wasteland python Saresa, the pace of the attacking army was also coordinated with the troops of the entire attack line, and it was not until mid-April that they came to the vicinity of the capital's defense line. Fearing a sudden backstab blow from the surrender of the Righteous King, Saresa had already relieved several of the surrendering generals, including Bonzina, and placed them under house arrest. At the same time, she left all the 50,000 soldiers in the city of Yiwang and did not bring them to the front - she also left 50,000 soldiers to monitor these surrenders, which led to a reduction in the strength of the front line.
The "Line of Attack Plan" was for Saresa to command the main force directly under the capital city of Doret and use trebuchets to harass at a distance, while the rest of the attacking army was led by various generals and attacked other strongholds of the capital's defense line at the same time. Saresa and other commanders have long been worthy of the regent Xiu Mo's desire to fight to the death, and the attacking army of the East Oguna Empire did not intend to go head-to-head with the troops defending the city, and the siege in the morning was only an attempt to make contact and test the strength of the defending troops. But the general attack that followed was unplanned - the main city of Doret suddenly rose with smoke, which was the signal that should be given within the city of Doret!
General Sepra saw the three mercenaries with a surprised expression, "Go out and see for yourself, our main force has advanced at full speed, and internal strife is emerging within the rebels, this is the best opportunity to siege the city." With that, he left the tent, and Avi and Van immediately followed.
Wood, Gomen, and Twelve were already standing on high ground somewhere outside, looking out toward the city of Doret to the north. Avi could see smoke billowing from the center of Doret City, as if a large building was on fire. However, the attacking army of the East Oguna Empire had already begun to advance, and the huge siege weapons that he saw as soon as he entered the camp were so magnificent that Avi felt that the siege towers crowded with soldiers seemed to be surrounded by several towering trees, and then turned into a giant standing tall in the sky. The most terrifying thing is that there are still twelve such giants!
The giant siege trebuchets were also making strange machine turns, and Avi didn't like them, and if the whispers of animals were heavenly sounds, the sounds that came out of the war machines were unpleasant and harsh.
"Have you heard? There is infighting in the city, and it is estimated that the saint Golia will also be threatened," the middle-aged mercenary Gemen still had greasy black hair, and he shaved some of the beard around his mouth, but he could still see a lot of beard scum that grew out immediately, "Maybe we have to choose to go to the back of the city to block the road." ”
Captain Cyprus didn't say anything, and he didn't propose any new mission options. It's as if everything is still clear now, and we have to wait.
"Hey, based on what I've known about that cold-hearted guy in black armor, he's definitely left Doret City," Bignose Fan leaned over to Avi's side and whispered, "What are you going to do if you're really so unfortunate and run into a group of potato mercenaries in the city who haven't left yet?"
Avi glanced at the other party, and Fan never seemed to really regard the partners of the potato mercenary group as partners. Maybe in Fan's eyes, even he is just an ordinary friend, "I don't know, now Carrie is also in Dorette City, and Felistie and some of Miss Delia's old department may also be in it." If Field's seniors and Patrick's seniors are still in the city, I really don't know how to deal with them" Avi said and then denied his original thought, he believed that Fan had already regarded himself as a companion, but he was just that kind of person.
At this time, Girl Twelve walked over, she patted Avi on the shoulder, and then said in sign language, "Are you scared?"
Avi also responded with a gesture: "There will be a little, after all, it is the first time to see so many soldiers." ”
"I'll use a longbow, it's a longbow that can protect myself, and it can kill those who threaten me from a distance where I feel scared," Twelve wasn't as pretty and cute as Miranda, but she had a unique temperament, "Can you stand by my side and protect my back? ”
"Okay, I'm willing, then let's move forward together!"
Fan watched the two of them pointing fingers constantly, he frowned impatiently, and then crossed his hands on his chest and said, "I said, don't forget the little blonde beauty who rescued you, she always hooks up with other girls, do you forget the night you were rescued, you"
Avi turned around and covered the other party's mouth with his hand, "It's all about you!"
Seeing this, Twelve couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even Janger joined in and made fun of each other. The middle-aged mercenary Gemen also laughed along with him, and it seemed that everyone was not separated at all, as if he had come out for an outing today instead of carrying out an assassination mission.
