Chapter 43: Unfavorable
"How's it going?" said Duke Norma, who spun around like an ant on a hot pan, and after a while, couldn't help but ask.
"At the moment...... It's pretty stable. The magician in charge of liaison replied.
The Duke frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'fairly stable'?"
The magician smiled bitterly: "In other words, there is no essential difference between the battle situation and not long ago. ”
The duke's brows furrowed even more: "The guards are all on board, but they still can't open the situation?"
"The Thracians are doing whatever it takes to stop the guards, and they are now almost taking their lives. If the guards try to force their way through, the losses will be very large. An officer replied.
The Duke sat down and fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds, he asked, "What do you think...... What do we do now?"
"It's still my previous suggestion. A staff member with a grim face said, "Let the shaman use bloodthirsty and berserk spells on the guards, and attack at all costs!"
The duke shook his head: "No, after using bloodlust and rage, even if this person is not dead, it is almost useless." I can't afford such a loss. ”
"There's no other way for us to open up the situation than that. The staff said.
The duke thought for a while and sighed: "Then I have to forget it." ”
"What?!" the officer next to him was shocked, "My lord, if we give up the battle, our losses will be too great!"
"It's not as big as you think. The duke's in-laws, the chubby and smiling middle-aged man, said, "It's just tens of thousands of gold coins." ”
"But...... Almost all the masters of the volunteers in the entire Norma Defense Line have been sent out......"
"Anyway, the Norma line won't last long. The Duke sighed, "If the Norma defense line can still be held, then of course you can't just lose the master." But since the defense line could not be held, it was lost...... That's the loss. ”
The officer stopped talking, he already understood what the duke meant.
Now that he has lost the confidence that he can hold the Norma line, what he has to consider now is not how long he can hold it, but how to preserve the strength of the Norma family in order to make a comeback in the future.
Under this premise, those volunteers who belong to the Federation instead of the Norma family lose their use value - the Federation cannot allow the Norma family, which lost the battle, to recruit troops on a large scale, and the Norma family, which has lost its territory, has no confidence to do such a thing.
In this case, it is better to let this group of volunteers play their role as much as possible now and strive for some benefits.
He now finally understood why the death squads had been called together mainly among the volunteers.
"Other families...... What to do?" asked another officer.
The duke replied expressionlessly: "The big tree has fallen, what will happen to the weeds under the tree?"
The officer nodded, no more asking.
"I really didn't expect that our Norma family had been operating here for so many years, and finally lost their territory in my hands!" the Duke sighed deeply, showing a little exhaustion and frustration, and then turned to resentment, "What the hell is going on with the Thracians this time......? Didn't their nobles consider losing too many men to affect their rule?"
"Richard, the king of Thrace, was quite tough, and a few big nobles were enough, and those who were middle or lower were not at all confident in refusing his orders. A skinny staff member replied.
At this moment, the magician in charge of liaison suddenly perked up and said happily: "Great! The guards have broken the Thracian defense line and are rushing to the entrance of the fortress!"
The Duke was overjoyed: "Let them speed up!
He thought for a moment, and then ordered the people around him: "Hurry! Immediately let the reserves also rush to the fort of two gold coins, and this time the fortress must be recaptured!"
Just as the reserve team hurried into the tunnel, the magician showed regret again, and sighed: "They are one step slower, the Thracian reinforcements have arrived and held the entrance to the fortress, and now the Thracian army is coming, and they can only defend it." My lord, in this situation, I am afraid that I will have to retreat. ”
The duke nodded: "Then let them retreat, and destroy the tunnel after retreating." ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving without looking back.
As for the situation of the death squads such as Panda, he didn't even ask again.
At this time, pandas are already in a bad situation.
The panda had two more miserable wounds on its body, one on the left side of the abdomen and the other on the right shoulder. Both wounds were gunshot wounds and came from two sharp-eyed gunners. At that time, a total of six such masters attacked at the same time, and even if they tried their best to resist, it was difficult to take care of the end, and finally the shield warrior who had fought with them until now was finally found to be flawed, and broke his ankle with a single shot, and fell to the ground and died shortly after being shot indiscriminately.
Panda, Yunero, and Naikhart are doing better, but not much better. They tried their best to resist, and finally blocked that wave of attacks, but not only were they exhausted to the extreme, but the wounds on their bodies also greatly reduced their strength, if it weren't for the enemy on the opposite side who was already very tired to the extreme, I was afraid that their defense line had been breached.
At the site of the huge catapult, several daredevils on the ground have already been killed on the spot, and the remnants of Thracian masters are trying to hunt down Sean.
When the daredevils were dying, they tried to blow up the base of the catapult with explosive gems, but no one expected that the key part of the base of the catapult was actually made of metal!
Several of the daredevils used their share of the explosives, only to blow up some of the less important parts of the catapult. They are helpless when it comes to the important components that really matter.
Sean's situation is also getting more and more embarrassing, although she can still find opportunities to attack the catapult from time to time, but the more and more wounds on her body, and the increasing number of guards on the catapult, make her attack more and more difficult, and she can't get effective results for a long time.
Seeing that this situation would be very detrimental to the Mo Lai military, the panda suddenly said, "Yunero, you go and help Sean." ”
"I? I thought, if I leave now, in less than ten minutes, you two will be chopped up. ”
"Destroying catapults is much more important than not getting chopped!" Panda said.
Naikhardt was more direct: "Are you going to let others say that you are a 'useless Yunero' in the future?"
His words finally broke Yuneru's insistence, and the tall dragonman berserker nodded to everyone, and turned and ran in the direction of the catapult.
With his departure, the trio becomes a duo and a huge hole in the defensive line. The panda sighed and bent down to pick up a large shield.
In any case, if you want to stop more people, the shield will always be more powerful than the fist...... 21010
