Chapter 26: The Siege

Although the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Duchy of Bohemia have long struggled over the question of belonging to the Monglia Mountains. But in the past, this was a routine task for diplomats every year, and the two sides would talk about this issue for ten days and half a month, and then nothing could be accomplished.

The people didn't care about the troubles caused by the many failed marriages, except for a few who kept shouting, everyone just regarded them as occasional news in the newspapers.

With the discovery of gold, everyone couldn't sit still. The people of both sides agreed on the ownership of the Monria Mountains, which were considered to be the undeniable territory of the Motherland, and that the king and the generals had to ensure that they had control of the Mountains.

When the tragedy of Probez reached Disrafa, the whole kingdom was boiling. The inhabitants of the royal capital of Disraffa took to the streets shouting vengeful slogans, and they demanded that King Rucario teach the Bohemian bastards a deep lesson. This kind of humiliation of bullying to the head can not swallow this breath.

This sudden upheaval also made Lucario feel extremely stressed. As the king of the Kingdom of Bavaria, on the day he learned of the fall of Probez, he issued an urgent call to the whole country, calling on all young people of appropriate age to join the army and serve the country. Now that the opponent is no longer playing cards according to common sense, there is no need for King Rucario to insist on any more rules. As a sign of the king's wrath, he even wrote on the summoning order that every Bohemian killed would be rewarded with a mile.

In order to defeat Bohemia, retake Probez, and hold the mountains of Monria, Lucario sent a number of envoys to the surrounding countries after deciding to go to all-out war with the Duchy of Bohemia. He intended to declare war on Bohemia at the same time, but also to spread the word about what the Talak Frontier Regiment had done in Probez, so that everyone knew that the responsibility for causing the war lay with the other side.

In addition to the means of administrative diplomacy, Rucario also resorted to the necessary military means. He planned to recruit about 10,000 recruits from all over the country and prepare for a decisive battle with the Duchy of Bohemia.

To deal with the Bohemian border regiments occupying Probez. Naturally, Rucario didn't dare to let those recruits who had just enlisted in the army go to their deaths. After consulting with his ministers, he brought back the regiments stationed in the mountains, intending to join them up with the city defenses drawn from other towns, and then together they would regain the fallen Probez.

The leader of this war was Diodos, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was still stationed in Probez, and His Majesty the King handed over all the front lines.

Although it had snowed heavily not long ago, the snow was white everywhere outside of Providez, and the snow was thick enough to stop anyone. But that didn't stop Bavaria's plans to reclaim Providence, and Theodos was overcoming the annoying snow in a way that no one could understand.

It was only a short thirty kilometers from Plevy to Probez, and in order to facilitate the march and transport supplies to the front, Diodos actually sent people directly in the white world. A road to Probez was opened along the original road. With the efforts of thousands, they spent six days together with Plevy and Probez.

In the dreary sunlight, Nashsi and Orloff watched as each other sliced the snow-white field in half, and the brown lines became more and more evident as the Bavarians worked like worker ants.

Looking at the path that was opened, Naxi couldn't help but admire the tenacity of his opponent, and he also had a trace of worry about his position.

With a lonely city, a comatose boss, low morale, and improvised defensive walls, Naxi suddenly realizes that he doesn't even have a useful card. Seeing that the enemy is gathering outside the city one after another, I believe it will not be long. They will launch a general attack on Probez. If you rely on them alone, it will be really difficult to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

"I thought they would give up and wait until the snow melted and besieged us. Naxi said softly.

"Their general, Theodos, was a pillar of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and with his wisdom it should not be difficult to guess where we are now. It is impossible for him to let go of such a favorable opportunity. "It's been almost half a month now, and the messenger hasn't come back at this point, so I don't think there will be any so-called reinforcements anytime soon." ”

Said here. The resolute veteran turned his head and said to Naxi: "I have no choice now, and the entire Tarak Frontier Regiment II depends on you magicians?"

"Rely on us?" Nashy thought it was a little strange, as a magician he didn't realize where he was in this battle for the time being.

"You and those guys are our last hope now. Olof patted Nashi on the shoulder. Then he pointed to the Bavarian soldier who was still busy in the distance and said, "Can your magic hit them?"

Naxi glanced at the Bavarians who were still clearing the remaining snow, and they didn't look like regular soldiers from their attire. He couldn't help but hesitate a little: "If it's a combined array magic, I can bombard where they are." But isn't it a bit unorthodox to do that, after all, they ...... right now?"

"After all, they don't have weapons now, so they can't be enemies in the true sense of the word, right?" Orlov's rhetorical question left Naxi speechless, "Have you ever thought that when you take up arms, you can kill our brothers? ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Naxi turned to the mage who had been following him, "Let's prepare an ice array spell that will be covered into two units." ”

Outside the city of Probez, Diodos was directing his men to set up siege equipment. Although there was still the sun overhead, it didn't work, and Diodos was worried that the laziness of his men would slow down the attack, so he stood in the snow and urged his men to get to work.

According to the intelligence at hand, he already had a general idea of the enemy's situation. To his surprise, Ronio, who had been hit by an arrow, was not dead, but he was also unconscious. A unit that has lost its backbone does not have much combat strength to speak of, and this time Diodos has won the battle. You know, he now has three times as many people as the Bohemians in the city.

At that moment, a herald hurried up to him.

"Report to the Governor, that the enemy has launched a surprise attack on our men who are clearing the grounds outside the city?"

"What?" Diodos didn't quite believe this, "the Bohemians are all soft bones, how could they get out?"

"Lord Doge, it's true that they didn't leave the city, but the ice picks that attacked us fell from the sky......"

Hearing this, Diodos suddenly remembered the sudden heavenly fire: "Damn, it seems that the siege is still a little difficult." (To be continued......)
