Chapter 338: Shocked
In the past two days, Francis began to get nervous, because Cynthia, who was always on his radar, suddenly had a stomachache. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Counting the days, Cynthia should be at an inconvenient time again, so while Francis pays attention to the battle situation, he runs more often to Cynthia.
When Christian found him, he did not explain how he discovered the problem, but told Christian his decision, that is, he decided to temporarily stop the battle and stop the siege. Shrink back on the defensive for a while and avoid its edge!
As for how long it will take to strike the war, he still needs to continue to observe, and then he will be notified separately.
Although Christian didn't understand how Francis judged the enemy's outbreak period, she also felt that the other party should be about to break out according to the usual rules, but she couldn't judge the specific date and duration.
So when the sun rose tomorrow, the defenders of the Silverwing Fortress found that Francis's side had not come to attack the city as scheduled, but had begun to stand still. Even if they took the opportunity to begin to restore the breached defensive line, the enemy had no intention of stopping. This puzzled the defenders, and hurried to report to the commander of the fortress, Lady Geral.
In fact, the defense of the fortress is now largely commanded by Lady Geira, but the nominal commander is Baron Bill. At first, despite the endorsement of Baron Bill and General Patton, the officers and men of the army were reluctant to accept the command of a woman. However, as she led the defenders to repel attacks of enemies several times her own, Gera's prestige began to build up among the defenders.
Especially now that Baron Bill and General Patton are not in the Silver Wing Fortress, she has become the backbone of all the soldiers!
When Gera got the news, she was coaxing the little Jillian girl to dinner, the same child, the same left-looking Jillian orphan she had picked up on the street last time, her name was Fortuna, and she and Bill had adopted her.
Hearing the report of her subordinates, Gera couldn't help frowning, her strongest state of the month had reached again, but at this time, the enemy happened to stop acting and cowered. This cannot but make one wonder if the enemy has discovered something.
An enemy of such a secret sorcery will probably never guess it, probably because the periodicity of his combat power is too obvious, so the enemy has discovered a little clue.
In fact, Gera knew that sooner or later the enemy would find out if she continued like this, and she knew that the Silverwing Fortress would not be able to hold it.
Because the reason why Silverwing Fortress is still able to hold out now is because the dense Magic Mirror Cannon and Magic Crystal Gun fortress are blocking the enemy's footsteps. However, although they can hold on to not being attacked by the enemy, the consumption of magic crystals is also very terrifying.
In the past, they had relied on Queen Linda to transport a large number of magic crystal supplies to the front line. But now that the king has changed, the supply has been cut off for a long time. It won't be long before the place runs out of ammunition due to lack of supplies!
So they had long planned to abandon the Silverwing Fortress. Bill and Barton negotiate to build a second fort in Dallas. Because there is a huge vein of magic crystal ore in the ground there, once the magic crystal cannon array is built there, even if it is defended for ten years, there is no need to worry about supply.
So now Bill and Barton have gone to Dallas City to start construction of the new fort. Originally, it would have been enough for them to go to one of them, but because Bill suspected that Vaughn's death had something to do with Barton, the two parties now had a rift and could no longer work closely together. So Bill and Barton traveled to Dallas together, not only to speed up the construction of the new fort, but also to spy on each other.
As for Jera, he stayed behind and bought time for them.
Gera knew that the new fort should not be ready now, and if the city was broken now, it was very likely that Bill and Barton would be caught off guard. But now that the enemy has felt the law of her explosive increase in combat power, there is almost no need to predict, and Jera also knows that once her strongest combat state passes, the other party will definitely give her a thunderous blow!
This made Jera's frowning and thinking about it.
When the little girl Fortuna saw Gera's appearance, she thought she was upset. So she hurriedly took out her little toy, put her hand in front of Gera, and shouted in a milky voice: "Mom, give!"
Gera's pupils shrank when she saw what Fortuna was holding, but she was immediately relieved.
She was clearly holding a Castron Flame Medal, which was a certificate of entry into a secret realm in the south, and Fortuna needless to say, Gerala also knew that she had picked it up.
This is not the first time, since Fortuna was picked up by Gera, Gerala has found that this child is surprisingly lucky, and he is always able to pick up something strange. As soon as he and Bill appraised it, they found that it was either a relic of a great wizard or a secret treasure that did not know its function. In short, there is no such thing as simplicity.
The most excessive thing is that there was a time when he actually picked up someone and came back, that little dwarf with a little white head, who called himself an old popsicle. The old popsicle was a head shorter than Fortuna, but from Jera's experience, he must have been older than her, Bill and Fortuna combined.
Gera didn't like the old popsicle very much, and in her opinion it was an old rascal, and she was ashamed to say that she was in love with Fortuna, and she was only four or five years old. But later she and Bill investigated and found that they really couldn't blame the old popsicle, all of this was the fault of little Fortuna. She picked up the Arrow of Eros, a secret treasure, and shot down an old popsicle that turned into an owl and flew through the air.
In this way, the old popsicle, who called himself tribal pudding, fell in love with Fortuna. However, despite this, Gera still doesn't let the old popsicle touch Fortuna like a hen guarding the cubs, but Bill is more close to the old popsicle, so he always takes him with him.
Fortuna is not the only one who has picked up people, as there have been many refugees who have stayed outside the Silverwing Fortress due to the war in the north. Fortuna had picked up a hungry and dying old woman in the camp. When Jera woke her up, he learned that she was Judy, a very famous miracle doctor in the Principality of Sayne.
Later, at her kind invitation, Judy stayed at the Silverwing Fortress. Now Gera was very happy that Ertuna had brought Judy to her, because she knew that if there was anyone who could afford to postpone her strongest form of the month for a few days, it would be Judy, the Divine Doctor.
After Judy was invited by Jera, the miracle doctor lived up to expectations. Although she repeatedly persuaded Jera to do so that it would hurt her body, at Jera's insistence, she still gave Jera an injection to postpone her menstrual period, which was about a week or so.
Jera had to do the same, because she was now in the exact stage of her prophecy. She knew very well that Francis would not attack until he had to shrink down for a week or so. At that time, without the help of the Ranflower Prophecy Technique, it would be impossible to confront his army. Now that Bill is not ready, how can they let Silverwing Fortress be breached?
However, Geral estimates that it will be almost enough to survive this wave, and as long as he persists for another month, Bill's side will definitely be ready.
Gera, who had been delayed by the miracle doctor, breathed a sigh of relief, and she had already begun to imagine Francis's expression when he had finally held back for more than a week before he began to make a big move, and then he was devastating again.
However, as soon as he thought of Francis, Geral's heart was pounding, and he always felt that there might be other things going on.
Geral felt the need to prepare for something, but she didn't take it too seriously.
It's really because she's been used to this kind of heartbeat lately.
I don't know why, lately, she's been terrified when she thinks of someone, and even her Cornflower Prophecy can only see the future in a fog.
When I think about Bill, my heart is pounding.
Thinking of the goddess, my heart is pounding.
Thinking of Fortuna, my heart is pounding.
Thinking of Andy, my heart is pounding.
Thinking of Catherine, my heart was pounding.
Thinking of Queen Linda, my heart is pounding.
It's even heart-wrenching to think about characters like Old Popsicle, Barton, and Grand Knight Allen.
Not only them, but Gera tried to think of everyone she knew, including the tailor in a clothing store in Dallas City, the owner of a rice noodle shop, or the work of a running house in a restaurant. The result is no different, without exception, the heart is pounding!
Jumping and jumping, Gera got used to dancing. A mere Francis, a little frightened is nothing.
