Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Will

"Get out into the alley!

"But we can hold out for a while! If this fork in the road is lost, the enemy will be able to divide his forces and approach the town square!"

This battle has been fought until the night, the heavy rain baptized on Chanda West Street, the Wings of Freedom and the last warriors of Zenda are still holding the fork in the road, a bloody battle down, the corpses of the dark soldiers in the alley are piled up, because the enemy snipers climbed on the roof and approached this place, Kai, who commanded the defenders, immediately signaled Shoy to lead the front line of the Wings of Freedom to retreat to the rear, and King Ragnar's guards stepped forward to delay the enemy, but Shoey took the initiative to disobey the order and climbed the residential building with Mo Cha, and started a tug-of-war with the dark sniper equipped with a longbow and a strong crossbow on the roof, and quickly harvested the enemy's head with his own strength。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, this alley, which is less than five meters apart and lined with illegal buildings, can be completely blocked by only a dozen large shieldmen, and the buildings on both sides are filled with torches to provide ample light sources, and also provide a little warmth for the guards in the icy rain, but the dark shooters who go around the rear not only shoot out the torches, but also break the shield wall formed by the Chanda mercenaries. Since the enemy had been pinned down at this time, Kai had to continue to order to hold the place, Ragnar left Josim to personally lead the royal guards to assemble iron round shields to fill the gap in the shield wall, these warriors prepared spears and spears to meet the endless enemy troops on the city wall, and the moment the fire in the rear was rekindled, the two sides fought again in the pouring rain.

In the melee, the most elite troops of the Nords showed their strength as the bravest of Calradia, the thick iron shield of the Guards blocked the javelin and sword attacks of the Dark Army warriors outside the shield wall, taking advantage of the moment when the enemy attack missed, using the gap between the shields to stab the spear outward to kill the enemy, and the elite pitchers in the rear also embedded the few throwing spears and axes in the chests of the enemy soldiers, the original very smooth battle situation was reversed because of the arrival of an uninvited guest, inadvertently, the defender's strong shield wall was scattered by an inexplicable shock wave, and all the Nord soldiers in front of him were martyred, and all this happened, just a man with a magic spear in his hand.

"Isaac!?Why is he here?Could it be that Oguma and they have been routed?"

Despite being overwhelmed by enemy sniper fire, Mo Cha still noticed the situation below the building, and with a lot of doubt, he stepped on the roof tiles and fell into the third floor of a building, going to the window to look down on the situation below.

In his field of vision, Isaac twisted his neck, and with a wave of his spear, the city wall behind him was violently bombarded by catapults outside the city, and it was shattered in a few clicks, and nearly a hundred dreadknights poured into the gap in the wall, and in the heavy rain, they all slapped their horses and rushed towards the defenders dozens of paces away, Kai remained calm while being surprised, and rearranged the queue, and the Virgian warriors of Varisienpoye stepped forward to meet the enemy with a spear of rejection, and he also picked up a long shield with ornamentation, holding an iron scepter and fighting with the soldiers.

The resolute Ragnar did not want to let the Virgians die in vain, so he dispelled the idea of retreating, and continued to lead the remaining dozen guards to open the shield wall for the spearmen to block the chain gun attack, but they were scattered under the ruthless iron hooves of the knights, but fortunately, the Virgians stabbed the horses of the enemy forward with war forks and ash wood spikes in time, and only then took advantage of the terrain to block these powerful cavalry, and Joshim, who was worried about the safety of Ragnar, no longer retained his strength according to Kai's orders, and led the last twenty or so royal guards to protect the lordThis move made Isaac even more proud, and he once again issued an order to the siege troops outside the city, and the boulders in the sky bombarded the buildings inside the city over the broken walls, and the rubble of the smashed roofs flew everywhere, and the wreckage of the falling houses crushed Kai's team and Joshim's royal guards in the rubble.

Joshim rose from the mess, shook off the mud and sand, and struggled to remove a beam at his feet, freeing two of his personal guards, but before he could save more, he rushed to the front line over the rubble. Ragnar was very heroic in his eyes, and he did not retreat despite being surrounded by several fanatical black knights, wielding a giant axe and broadsword with one hand to kill the enemy in front of him, and did not forget to relieve the siege of his allies in the bitter battle, but the king could not know that his time was approaching, and Isaac approached him step by step in the chaotic crowd, slashing left and right with his gun to clear the way, and drew a sharp knife behind Ragnar.

"No !!"

His footsteps turned into a sprint, and he rushed towards Ragnar in a loud shout, but the vicious Isaac had already stabbed down with a wicked smile, and the cold edge of the dagger pierced Ragnar's heart, and the venerable Nord hero fell, and Josim fell into the icy water in frustration, and after getting up again, he discarded his burdensome sword, and rushed forward on foot to kick Isaac out with a powerful flying kick, dragging the bleeding Ragnar out of the melee, at which point Kai also rescued his own men from trouble, and with a giant shield, he stepped forward to knock a Dread Knight off his horse, and then smashed the opponent's sternum with a hammerHe snatched the horse and handed it to Joshim, who was responsible for escorting Ragnar back to the base camp, while he himself led the rest of the soldiers against the enemy.

After Joshim left, Kai knew that this place could not be resisted, so he shouted at the broken house: "Shoy!! Prepare to retreat, the enemy cannot only attack from the west gate and retreat to the square!!"

Xiao Yi jumped out of the ruins in three steps, drew a five-foot long knife and cut off a black knight, Mo Cha took the opportunity to fall from the second floor to the saddle, waved the saber and carried Xiao Yi to break through a bloody road, and went straight to the town square.

After the Wings of Liberty retreated, Kai summoned the wounded Faye and Mortis, who covered the surviving soldiers of Vicia and Nord to retreat to the plaza, saying that he would take out Isaac's knights and return to the plaza to join them.

The horn of retreat sounded, and the soldiers on the front line solved the trouble in front of them and quickly retreated, while most of the fear knights had lost their horses and had to follow Isaac's footsteps to pursue forward, when they noticed that Faye and Mortis were attacking left and right, Isaac refused to let them come forward and fight fiercely, but personally confronted the two wounded knights.

"Augst ......"

After encountering Fei, Isaac looked a little surprised, but Fei didn't give him time to think, activated the impact spear in his hand, shortened it into a sharp throwing spear, and threw it forward.

The other party was not ambiguous, he used the magic gun to pull away the impact spear, turned around and kicked back, Fei reached out and grabbed the gun, and rushed forward with Mortis to launch a fierce attack, for a while the cooperation of the spear and the big sword suppressed Isaac, but because the injuries of the two were seen through, they were defeated after being hit hard by Isaac, but the task of delaying time has been completed, and the large army has long gone away.

"Isaac, you're very powerful, I admit that I can't beat you, this won't end like this, there will be a period later!"

As soon as the words fell, Fei threw a smoke bomb, picked up Mortis, who was immobile, and fled into the smoke screen, and when the smoke in front of Isaac and the others cleared, there was only one person left in the long alleyway, which was Kebrek holding a shock spear and a shield.

"Old thing!Why haven't you warped!?"

This answer can only be answered in battle, and there is no need to say more. ”

Kai threw the heavy rectangular shield with just one hand, hiding his figure behind the shield and approaching the enemy, and the powerful pulses that erupted in an instant heralded the beginning of a bloody battle......

At this time, in the town square, which had already been attacked, Arassis led the foot knights of Ryrdian and the elite swordsmen of Chanda to fight against the dark army that broke through the gate and stormed the city, desperately preventing the enemy from approaching the town hall, and the battle quickly became one-sided due to the difference in numbers between the two sides.

A dark warrior swung a long knife and slashed at Arassis's back, but his brain was blown out by the musket he threw over his shoulder, although most of his soldiers were wounded, but Aracis himself still did not retreat, wielding a heavy sword with one hand to slash the enemy in front of him, and the other hand was like a juggling long-pole musket to threaten the enemy in all directions, quickly attracting many enemies to come forward and besiege, but also gave the remaining soldiers a chance to breathe.

Just when he was about to stop it, a very destructive flame shock wave struck from the side, Sieg followed this fire light in the crowd freely, successfully relieved the siege of Arassis, after the two met, without having time to discuss countermeasures, they tacitly attacked left and right, killing the enemies who approached them one by one, and the soldiers not far away were also greatly encouraged, regained their fighting spirit and killed back, and brought the suspense back to the battlefield.

"Hah! I said why didn't I see you kid in the west!

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came, and Mo Cha pushed the untamable dark war horse under his crotch forward, and he fell on the square with the rain, and the wild horse rushed into the crowd and knocked down a group of enemies, and Xiao Yi, who was traveling with him, also rushed to the battlefield at this time, and led the sixty or so soldiers who had withdrawn from the west to join the battle.

Seeing that the situation ahead was getting more and more chaotic, Arassis and Sieg were in crisis, Xiao Yi shook a few dark sergeants who hindered him, took out two guns and shot hard, the bullets knocked down the enemy soldiers next to the two of Aracis like meteors, Sig was not far behind, picked up the wolf knife and cut the rain in the air, forming a wave of water that sharpened iron like mud to kill the enemy on the line in front of him, and retreated to the position with fewer enemies with Arassis, and the later soldiers were also very dedicated to the top, making up for the blockade line that was missing due to the retreat of the two。

After getting out of trouble, Arassis didn't have time to catch a few breaths, so he ordered Shaw: "The square is our last position, and it stands to reason that we can't give up, but the fact is that we can't stop so many enemies at all, lead the remaining soldiers to withdraw into my mansion, its gate should be able to resist for a while, I will try to raid the enemy line to delay time." ”

"But! but...... What if you don't come back......" In the cold rain, a trace of warmth welled up in her heart, and warm tears kept pouring out of her eyes.

"Silly girl...... Bravely resist the invasion, be a qualified leader, and always be loyal to Calradia, this is your mission as a guardian, canonize you as Count Chanda, guardian of the capital of freedom, protect Chanda in my place, protect the inhabitants if it falls, and never give up hope. ”

While telling the sluggish Shaw what a Guardian needs to do, he ordered Harrick, the lieutenant who had been by his side, to fetch the Sword of Honor of Count Chanda, and solemnly passed on his title to his adopted daughter.

"Okay, this is what I can do, today will be the day when I wait for the old man to raise his eyebrows, don't stand stupidly, take your subordinates and return to your castle!"

As he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and Xiao Yi didn't dare to disobey him, so he gritted his teeth and wiped away his tears, and retreated to the town hall with a dozen wounded soldiers, after confirming that Xiao Yi had withdrawn to a safe position, Alassis nodded with satisfaction, and threw off the steel helmet on top of his head, and even the forging armor to protect his body was taken off, leaving only the close-fitting chain mail, which made Harrick anxious, and hurriedly handed back the equipment he had taken off.

"My lord! This is too dangerous! Isn't this nonsense!?"

"What's the danger? You mean the sniper who climbed over the wall and aimed at me?"

The expression on Harrick's face became ugly, for it was indeed as Arassis had said, a dark sergeant who had escaped from the scuffle was aiming at the back of Aracis with a crossbow.

"Bang!"

The sound of the musket reaching the sheriff's ears and the sniper who threatened his master's life had fallen, and Arassis quickly filled the chamber with a steel bullet, and threw the musket to the right side, killing an enemy archer in the chaos again, and Harrick was speechless, as if his master had changed back to the extraordinary prodigal son of twenty years ago.

"Alright, Harrick, bring the vigilantes, our work is not over yet, drive all these guys to the side as spectators, and there will be a finale gladiatorial fight later!"

He retrieved his belt from his forged armor, tightened his flabby waist, and stepped forward with his broadsword, Harrick's fighting spirit was ignited, and he followed him with a few heavily armed mercenaries and re-entered the chaotic battlefield.

"Hey, Lord Earl!'re you back!?"

As soon as he entered the melee, the sharp-eyed Mo Mocha found Arassis, calmly killed the enemy in front of him, said hello to him, and came to his side to guard him every step of the way.

"Young man, I am no longer your earl, please take care of your life, Shoey is the one you need to protect. Aracis smiled, fended off the enemy's swords with his musket, slashed down several men with a single sword, and led his men straight to the location of the Vygians who were fighting hard.

In front of the original command post, the three new generation generals of the Virgians, Varisian, Gastia, and Harris, were facing a life-and-death situation, and watched the snowfield warriors fighting side by side beside them fall one by one, and the oldest and most warlike of the three, Gastiaboye, in order to cover the retreat of his two close comrades, cut the support of the canopy with all his strength, blocking the enemy in one direction with the overturned canopy, and he also took the opportunity to escape.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them withdrew with their men to a nearby infirmary, and just when Alassis and others rushed to the rescue, they took the opportunity to escort the wounded into the infirmary, and the soldiers who were still fighting followed them to deal with the pursuers.

Gradually, the rain that had been falling all day suddenly subsided, and the attackers, who had numbered in the hundreds, were reduced to a few dozen of them, and they were dealt with like lambs to the slaughter in front of these talented commanders, and they ordered all the Druya flags that had been planted in the town square during the Dark Army's march to be cut down, announcing that the Zenda defenders still controlled the battlefield.

For some reason, the continuous offensive seemed to stop at this point, and no more siege troops poured in from the open gates, and the corpses of the dark soldiers were scattered in every corner of the square, and those who held out to the end were all surprised.

"It doesn't seem like a joke...... Shi Ang really intends to engage in this life-and-death duel, so to speak...... Has the battle outside the city been decided? ”

As the last drop of rain fell at their feet, a soaking wet Hawke fell back onto his shoulder, shook the water between his feathers at his face, and yelled at him a few more times, and flew away.

"Unbelievable, according to Hawke's news, the battle between the Dark Knights and the Brotherhood of the Green Forest has ended, and the Dark Army originally had the upper hand in terms of combat power, but somehow, a tornado suddenly blew by the river, and a terrible hurricane was formed with rain in the air, which swept left and right on the battlefield as if it was being manipulated, and the result was that the two armies suffered heavy casualties, and Shi Ang had to give up the assault battle. ”

After wiping off the rain, Mo Mocha also felt that he had heard it wrong, and said: "Old Dorak withdrew with half of his men, it is simply a trick, after this battle, the underworld of Calradia is estimated to stop for a while, but fortunately, the knights of Shion are also greatly damaged, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attack the territory of other countries in the short term." ”

Everyone present sighed and began to discuss the next plan, they couldn't escape, they couldn't defend it, once the enemy knights rushed back to Chanda, the defenders in the city would definitely die.

Arassis broke the silence and explained: "There are many secret passages leading to the outside of the city in the underground barracks, but most of the exits have been guarded by the Dark Order army, and there is only one secret passage to the Zell Mountains, if you don't want to die here, leave now!"

"How can this be done, I am also the eldest son of the famous heavy knight of the continent-Javier, if I escape today, won't it be a discredit to my father?"

Fei Ye, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "Lord Earl, no matter how deep your affection for this city is, they have fought side by side with us for so long, and they can no longer be regarded as outsiders, and if they leave at this time, those poets with sharp tongues will make us notorious." ”

Although this is a humorous line, everyone still agrees with it, not only Harris, but also the three Vigian generals of Gastia and Varisian, and the two lords of Nord, Galad and Haida, are also unwilling to leave, and have expressed that they will fight to the end for honor.

"In that case, take heart for this is a crucial battle against the invasion, to be remembered forever by future generations. ”

Seeing that everyone thought like this, Arassis no longer persuaded hard, and took advantage of the tranquility before the great battle, led everyone into the infirmary to treat the wounds, and took out the treasured good wine and raised a glass to drink.

It didn't take long for Mo Mocha, who was on guard outside, to give an early warning, and countless burning stones were thrown in by catapults, which smashed countless buildings in Chanda City to a mess, and even caused the entire periphery of the square to burn in an instant.

Hearing the noise, Aracis hurried to the square, looked up at the meteorite-like attack under the clouds, and found a figure in the burning street, and whispered......

Kai...... Your opponent has been invited, and let's wait and see the showdown between the members of the original Freedom Wings......"
