Early in the morning, the front line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty, the situation on the front line is not in our favor, the knights under the command of seven nobles have been completely destroyed, the walls have been damaged to varying degrees, and the plan of the Silent Rose has come to nothing, and we have no way of knowing the origin of these rifts for the time being. From the tower, Coria reported.

She had never experienced a real war, and for the first time she discovered her own insignificance in the face of a steady stream of enemies pouring into the inner city.

The truth is worse than she reported, casualties are only one aspect of the picture, and the other, greater desperate situation that the union faces is physical strength. Nearly two hours have passed since Lin Qiu and the others disappeared into the spatial torrent, and during this time, the soldiers stationed on the front line have hardly rested for a moment, and among them, there are many soldiers who have not closed their eyes for several nights. On the other hand, the enemy is not only numerous, but also has no physical strength to bother them.

"The crux of the matter lies in these spatial gaps. Moore Powell broke free from the guards, kicked open the door at the top of the tower, and came to Leah. Ziegler refused his request to go to the front and left him in the city, and according to the latest information, the Knights responsible for the defense of the ruins on the left flank had been completely destroyed.

His knights were sent there.

"What do you have in mind Moore?" asked Leah as she motioned for the guards to step back.

"No, but we have to do something, if we don't manage to close those cracks, those damn black-robed monsters will break through our defenses sooner or later!" By the beginning of the war, the defenses of the inner city had shrunk in a large circle, and they had to abandon the defense line on the left flank.

That's the equivalent of giving up a quarter of the territory of the inner city!

"I'm now the commander of the light pole, Your Majesty, don't let my men die in vain!" All of Moore's current thoughts were how to preserve the Tallon Kingdom, and he had a long conversation with Ziegler, and came to some conclusions: "With our current forces, if we can close the rift, we can barely hold the inner city." ”

The clone split by the old man alone was not enough to fight against the forces of the entire kingdom. Therefore, it is imperative to cut off the opposing coalition forces.

It is clear that even those who have not studied the art of war understand the importance of cutting off the enemy's back. But the real problem was how to close the cracks - according to insufficient statistics, there were twelve known cracks in the market area, and all of this information was paid for by the Assassins of the Silent Rose.

Not to mention whether the rift can be sealed for the time being, there is not even anyone in the Combine who can reach the twelve rifts. In front of each rift, there are elite troops of the Chaos Sect, and those black-clothed weirdos are at least royal knight-level figures.

After a long silence, Moore spoke: "I know this proposal is very risky, but I insist that the more desperate the situation, the more radical we must take, and if we follow Ziegler's conservative strategy, we will never be able to break through the existing predicament, and the number of casualties will only continue to increase...... While we are fortifying, we should select a group of the most elite troops, surprise one of the cracks, and try to understand the origin of those cracks!"

"No!" Before Lia could reply, Coria refused: "It's all about sending them to their deaths!"

The defense line of the inner city has been able to hold on to this point, largely relying on a few high-end combat forces, Nightingale, Julius, Ziegler and several knights of the Adventurers' Guild have temporarily made up for the lack of physical strength of the Combine, if these people are transferred from their posts, not only will they be sent to death pointlessly, but also the speed of the collapse of the inner city defense line will be accelerated.

"This is our only chance. Moore argued: "The reality is that the soldiers' physical strength is running out, and we can't delay for long!"

He understood Ziegler's intentions, the latter had never intended to solve these rifts with the strength of the combined army from the beginning, and all his deployments were to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, and he completely staked the fate of the Talon Kingdom on Lin Qiu and the others. Ziegler believed that Lin Qiu and the others would not only be able to defeat the Sith, but also have the strength to suppress the enemies in the market area like locusts crossing the border.

But two hours have passed, and there is still no movement on the beach.

Moore gradually lost faith in them.

"Make a decision, Your Majesty, don't wait, we must save ourselves, even if we fail in the end, it is the choice of the people of the Kingdom of Tarun themselves!" Mor raised his voice: "You are the only one who can decide the fate of this country, if it is your father, even if there is little hope, he will fight hard!"

"I ......"

"Your Majesty, we don't have any combat power to lose!" Coria also persuaded.

Leah was dazed.

When she felt that she was closest to this kingdom, the pressure of the whole kingdom weighed on her shoulders. She knew that her next command would change the future of the kingdom, and that she would be praised or reviled for it in the Hereafter......

"Coria—"

Leah took a deep breath, but before she could say her decision, another person appeared that she didn't expect.

"Your Majesty, the Empress. The nightingale bowed to Lea slightly, her tight black robe looking tattered, and there were not many arrows left in her quiver, but even so, she still looked at her like a torch, and did not look tired: "You don't need to decide, I'm just here to tell you that the cracks in the market area are dissipating." ”

"Dissipating, what's going on?" Mohr was surprised to fit an egg into his mouth.

"I don't know, they seem to be collapsing from within. Nightingale said, "But while the crisis of the rift has been eased for the time being, we seem to have a new trouble—my men have just informed me that a group of well-armed knights are approaching the royal capital, and they are expected to be ......."

"They're already here. Coria couldn't help but take a step forward and walk to the edge of the tower.

It was a platoon of cavalrymen in dazzling gold armor, and they were in a neat line, slowly coming from the direction of Shanlu Town.

Not a member of the Chaos Cult, but not a reinforcement from any kingdom they know. According to the rules of the Helutian League, the armor of the cavalry of different kingdoms has its own characteristics, and gold is not among them.

"We didn't ask anyone for help. Coria muttered, the dazzling golden armor evoking an ominous premonition.

In her memory, there was only one force that liked to use the brilliance as a coat of arms...... One of the most representative is the golden sword and shield emblem!

"Those people should be ......," Nightingale and Coria thought of.

Not to mention anything else, after the vigorous assassination plan in the imperial capital, the Assassin Guild was definitely the mortal enemy in the eyes of these knights.

At the same time, Bishop Anthony, who was sitting in the corner of the city wall, stood up in shock, his face red from his excitement.

"Trial...... Inquisitor!"

In the entire Heluthia Alliance, only the knights in the Inquisitor Army have the power to wear gold armor!
