The dark night is not visible, and the clouds in the sky tonight are very thick, and there is not a trace of moonlight that can penetrate the thick clouds and shine on the earth. The October night wind was cold enough, but for the warriors of the Frost Burning Legion, neither the night nor the cold wind could stop their deep thirst for revenge!

Although it was late at night, the battle of the Revenant Fortress was now in full swing, and the forward soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion who attacked at night, relying on the cover of magic and night, easily sneaked under the tall walls of the Revenant Fortress, and these black-clothed warriors, using the "spider walk" magic scroll, quietly climbed to the top of the city, and the first thing they did was to extinguish the fire at the head of the city as much as possible in the first time, magic lamps and other light sources!

The sudden darkness made the defenders of the Revenant Fortress very uncomfortable, and their reaction involuntarily slowed down a few beats, although the usual training was quite strict, so that these defenders did not have too obvious chaos, but at least, the short-term response was unprepared, giving the black-clothed soldiers at the head of the city more opportunities.

These black-clothed warriors did not rush to kill immediately, but took advantage of the fact that the defenders at the head of the city did not react for the time being, and immediately seized the time, while quickly taking out a scroll from the special cylinder, which was obviously full of strong magic fluctuations, and jumped down from the city without the slightest hesitation, and then quickly dispersed, and it didn't take long for the magic scrolls to be torn apart one by one, and a large group of yīn shadows quickly spread in the Revenant Fortress, in this "powerful dark magic" Within its range, almost all light sources quickly went out, even those that used magic lighting.

The defenders of the Revenant Fortress are actually quite good. Especially those scrolls of the "Powerful Dark Technique" just now, with such obvious fluctuations in magical power, the mages accompanying the Revenant Fortress can feel it lightly even in deep meditation!

The barracks of the fortress zhōngyāng suddenly opened the camp gates. A group of warriors dressed in fiery red heavy armor lined up neatly, these heavy armor warriors held a heavy tower shield more than half a person high in one hand, and a sharp thick-bladed war knife in the other hand.

"Leave them alone. Continue the mission!" More than a dozen black-clothed warriors who released the magic scroll and then gathered together quickly spotted these hoplites, one of them was an officer-like man in black, said coldly, and then stretched out his hand. The dozen or so black-clothed warriors who had just gathered immediately dispersed again and quickly dissolved into the night.

"Earthfire Legion, ignore those black rats, leave them to the scout camp to deal with, you immediately go to the city wall to guard against the enemy's sneak attack!" As he walked briskly, he issued orders quickly and accurately, "Magician, immediately find a way to disperse those yīn shadows, and then re-illuminate the battlefield, the night battle is not good for us!"

Under the command of Lie Rong, the defenders of the fortress, which had already been somewhat chaotic, quickly stabilized again and began to deploy in an orderly manner, fortunately, the fortress gate has always been the most heavily defended place. And this kind of heavy city gate, whether it is closed and opened, is quite troublesome, although it is caught off guard by the enemy, but at least for now. The gates are still very secure.

However, the expression on Lie Rong's face still looked very grim, without the slightest relaxation, you know, not long ago, the Dark Sun Empire had attacked the Revenant Fortress once, although that time was just a test of Xìng's attack, but it still brought a lot of pressure to him, and all the defenders of the fortress, to be honest, if the enemy attacked with all his might from the beginning, Lie Rong really didn't have much confidence that he would be able to successfully defend this Revenant Fortress!

"There's no way, in the empire, there is really too little Jīng Rui's troops to sit in, and even in such an important place as the Revenant Fortress, there is actually only one Earth Fire Legion to guard it. As soon as he thought of the current situation of the empire, Lie Rong couldn't help but have a trace of yīn shadow in his heart, even if the Revenant Fortress did take advantage of the geographical advantage, it was very beneficial to the defending side, but no matter how strong the fortress was, it still needed someone to defend it, but Lie Rong knew very well in his heart that the defenders in the fortress were precisely the biggest weakness of the Revenant Fortress at present!

"This time, I'm afraid I'm not as lucky as the last time, and it's come to this point, so I have to do my best. Lie Rong shook his head slightly, leaving the ominous thoughts in his mind behind him, and began to think about defensive countermeasures intently.

Obviously, this time the enemy's tactics are very clear, that is, the night attack to strengthen the attack, the typical siege style of the Dark Sun Empire, if nothing else, this time the enemy, ten likely, will be the Dark Sun Empire's famous Frost Burning Legion! Although decades ago, the Frost Burning Legion was defeated by the army commanded by Yun Lan, but after these decades of lying on the back, I believe that the entire continent, there is no such army, dare to despise this jīng Rui army.

Lierong is not only the supreme commander of the Revenant Fortress, but also the leader of the Liejia Earthfire Legion, but even if Lierong has confidence in himself, he also knows that the Earthfire Legion alone, if it is a head-to-head duel, it is probably not the opponent of the Frost Burning Legion, but fortunately, it is a defensive operation now, and the Earthfire Legion, as a hoplite, still has a great advantage in defensive operations, especially when it occupies a very advantageous fortification like the Revenant Fortress.

Molten wasn't moving too fast, as he had to wait for the other staff officers and generals to keep up with him, but even so, Molten quickly arrived at the city wall with a group of high-ranking defenders.

"Fortunately, the enemy has not completely occupied the city, and the current battle situation is in our favor!" Seeing that there was still a fierce battle on the city wall, a staff officer breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some rejoicing that if the other party really occupied a part of the city, it would be really troublesome, maybe soon the enemy would expand the area of engagement to the inside of the fortress, which would be quite unfavorable to the defenders.

However, this did not happen, and the support of the Earthfire Legion was quite timely, and these hoplites in magical armor were nailed to the city wall like a moving fortress. Resisting the opponent's continuous attacks without giving an inch, it is precisely because of the survival of these heavy infantry of the Earth Fire Legion that the opponent has not been able to completely occupy a city wall.

"It's not that simple, the opponent's attack is very sharp, and the Earthfire Legion is very passive now. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long!" Unlike the staff officer's optimism, Lie Rong was obviously not optimistic about the battle on the city wall now, his brows furrowed even tighter, the enemy was indeed the Frost Burning Legion, and the other party actually started. I invested a lot of jīng Rui, and it seems that this time, the other party is really bound to win the Revenant Fortress!

After Lierong's reminder, other staff officers and generals quickly noticed it. The enemy's attack power is too strong, and the short spear that is split into two is obviously a very powerful magic weapon, and even the magic armor of the Earth Fire Legion warriors can't completely defend against this kind of attack, unless they use a tower shield to block. Otherwise, if the rest of the body is stabbed by the opponent's short gun, it will be injured immediately!

But the problem now is that the sky is too dark, the light source at the head of the city has long been completely destroyed by the enemy, and the torches brought by the defenders will also be actively destroyed by the other party at the first time. But everyone knows that the warriors of the Dark Sun Empire are very good at night battles themselves, and the Frost Burning Legion is the best among them, the vast majority of warriors. They all have different night vision abilities, and they often only need a very weak light source to see the general situation around them clearly, but the defenders of the Revenant Fortress are different, even if Lie Rong has consciously carried out some night combat training during this time, but compared to the enemy, it is obviously not professional enough, so now when it comes to fighting, it is really very disadvantageous.

In fact, if it weren't for the faint magical light emitted by the magic equipment on the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion, the defenders who were said to be on the city wall would have been in chaos a long time ago, but even so, the defenders on the city head would have lost a lot of money, even if it was the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion who were sharp, people kept falling, if it weren't for the fact that the other party couldn't quickly send a large number of troops to the city wall, I'm afraid those defenders would have collapsed by now, right?

"Sure enough, it's worthy of the Frost Burning Legion!" Seeing the battle on the city wall, even if the other party was an enemy, Lie Rong couldn't help but admire in his heart, obviously, this time the other party's preparation was very sufficient, that kind of short spear could actually easily pierce the magic armor of the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion, this is definitely not an ordinary magic weapon, what can be done, it is obvious that before the battle began, the enemy specially carried out a secondary enchantment against xìng for those magic short guns!

Burning Molten knows very well that this kind of secondary enchantment of magic weapons not only requires the consumption of a large amount of magic materials, but also the duration of the enchantment effect is quite limited.

For the current situation, Lie Rong actually felt quite helpless, in fact, the defense of the Revenant Fortress was really amazing, but the other party chose to fight at night, which made many large magic weapons in the fortress impossible to use, just like the few magic crystal cannons in the city tower, if it was in the daytime, with a good line of sight, it would definitely be able to give the other party a very heavy blow, but now, it can only stay there honestly and become an ornament.

It can be said that a night battle has weakened the defensive advantage of the Revenant Fortress to the greatest extent, the other party's purpose and tactics are very clear, and from the very beginning, the most jīng sharp troops have been invested, although it is a night battle sneak attack, but Lie Rong has to admit that the opponent's tactical thinking is very concise and direct, basically there is no superfluous tricks, that is, relying on the obvious advantage of the jīng sharp force, to launch a forcible attack on the Revenant Fortress!

"This tactical style...... If I didn't guess wrong, it should be Her Majesty the Empress Laxis of the Dark Sun Empire, who was personally in command. Lie Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he would be so lucky, or so unlucky, although Lie Rong was still very confident in his command ability, but he didn't think that he was qualified to be compared with Yun Lan decades ago, to be honest, if the commander of the other party was really Empress Laxis, Lie Rong really didn't have much confidence that he could successfully defend the Revenant Fortress.

As the commander of the Revenant Fortress, Molten certainly knows very well what the significance of this fortress is to Empress Laxis. If the other party is bent on retaking this fortress, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to resist these defenders just now!

"Do your best, I hope that Your Majesty's confidence is really not groundless. Molten backhanded the spear from his back. He has already done everything that should be done, defending the city and fighting, there is not too much trickery, and now the army in his hands is all Qing Yi sè infantry, and there is no mobile cavalry. There is no way to implement many tactics at all, not to mention that it is still late at night, and the defenders of the Revenant Fortress are not good at night battles, and if they take the initiative to go out of the city, they are simply looking for their own death. So now, in addition to looking forward to the time passing a little faster and the night passing a little earlier, Lie Rong can only participate in the battle himself.

Seeing Lie Rong's actions, the other staff officers and generals knew that the current situation had reached a very critical moment. After a short silence, the civilian staff officers, who did not have much force, immediately took over the tasks of coordination and command, and as for those generals, they silently clenched their weapons like Lie Rong, ready to follow their main generals at any time and plunge into the most tragic battle!

As Molten had predicted, the battle on the city walls was indeed developing in favor of the Frostburn Legion. As more and more Frostburn Legion soldiers climbed the city wall, even the hoplites of the Earthfire Legion gradually began to be a little untenable, whether it was personal strength or the quality of equipment, the Frostburn Legion was obviously more dominant. Moreover, in the case of night battles, the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion, who were originally skillful in cooperation, could not play at all, but it was the soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion who were good at night battles who gave full play to this advantage!

As the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion fell one by one, Lie Rong's heart was also dripping blood, these warriors were all his subordinates! The reason why he was able to occupy a high position among the younger generation of the Lie family, in addition to his own strength, this Earth Fire Legion was definitely a very crucial factor, but now, Lie Rong could only watch as those familiar warriors were constantly slaughtered by the other party.

That's right, on the current city wall, it is almost no different from a one-sided slaughter, in the face of the powerful attack power of the Frost Burning Legion, except for the soldiers of the Earth Fire Legion who can hold on a little for a while, the soldiers of other regular legions have no power to fight back at all! Even the Earth Fire Legion is only more prominent in defense, but in terms of attack, it is not outstanding, in this way, the battle has been carried out so far, the enemy's losses are not large, and the number of people is also more and more, which gradually leads to the current situation.

"We can't continue like this, we have to find a way to reverse this situation!" Lie Rong knew that if this continued, soon the enemy would occupy the city wall, and once the other party invaded the fortress on a large scale, I am afraid that it would really be powerless at that time!

Without much hesitation, Lie Rong carried a spear and took the lead in rushing to the city wall, and the twenty-four level of fighting qi burst out without reservation, and the temperature around Lie Rong rose a lot in an instant. The fighting spirit began to shine, the spear began to dance, the powerful strength of the legendary mid-rank, even those jīng sharp warriors of the Frost Burning Legion were difficult to resist for a while, but these black-clothed warriors were also very tenacious, even if they knew that they were invincible, they still attacked the Burning Molten one after another, even if they couldn't do any damage to him, at least they had to consume a lot of his fighting energy!

"Frost Burning Legion, it's really difficult!" killed a sixteenth-level Frost Burning Legion officer again, Fierce Molten Face's face became even more solemn, in just ten minutes of battle, it was clear that there was no legendary-level powerhouse among the enemy, but he actually failed to reverse the unfavorable situation on the city wall!

Including Lierong, more than a dozen high-ranking generals joined the battlefield, and they failed to recover the disadvantage on the city wall, which is simply incredible, although I have long known that the Frost Burning Legion is very powerful, but I didn't expect that it is so powerful! Burning Melting has to admit that the Earth Fire Legion is indeed inferior to the Frost Burning Legion, and it is estimated that the entire Lie Family, and only the Flame Knights can compete with the Frost Burning Legion, right?

"It's really strange, what about the enemy's legendary powerhouse?Why hasn't it appeared yet?" Lie Rong suddenly felt that something was wrong, fighting until now, although he had indeed failed to reverse the unfavorable situation on the city wall in a short period of time, but anyway, as long as his legendary powerhouse was still on the city wall, the other party's goal of occupying the city wall would never be realized, it stands to reason that at this time, the enemy's legendary powerhouse should also come to the door, no, no! Lie Rong put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment, if he was the enemy's commander, he should send the legendary powerhouse to fight as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Lierong's forehead, if this is really the case, I'm afraid the city wall has already fallen by now, right? Maybe even the city gate has been opened, but it's strange here, since even he can think of this, if the commander of the other party is really Empress Laxis, there is no reason to commit such a big negligence.

"No, the other party's calculations are definitely not so simple!" Lie Rong suddenly panicked for no reason, he always felt that he seemed to have made a very strict mistake and neglected a very important matter......

"Oh no! those black rats at the beginning, why haven't we heard from them yet?" Lierong was suddenly startled, and suddenly remembered what he had overlooked, the black-clothed people who first infiltrated the fortress, he just glanced at it at the time, and knew that those people were all thieves and assassins, their strength was not strong, and the number was not large, most of them infiltrated the fortress just to create chaos, this tactic Lierong himself was very familiar, so he didn't care too much, just ordered his subordinate scout battalion to solve it.

But until now, there has been no news from the scout camp, and Lie Rong's heart was immediately clouded with a shadow of yīn, could it be that those black rats with not outstanding strength are the key to the enemy's attack?
