On the calendar of the continent of Fira, it is still the third day of the new year.

At this time before the war, the natives of this continent were frantically celebrating the arrival of the new year, and the Burning Legion, which had gathered almost all its forces, officially launched an attack on Haxaburg.

In a few days, they quickly cleared all the outlying positions on the outskirts of the city, and surrounded the entire Haksa Fort, which became almost a dead city surrounded on all sides, except for a small river and limited communication with the outside world.

However, every day there were huge quantities of supplies and personnel, reinforcements to Haksaburg through the river, but no one withdrew to the rear through this river......

For the Emperor of the Roland Empire, Roland IX, and all the people of the Roland Empire, Haxa Fort was not only the imperial capital of their country, but more importantly, the location here was too sensitive and critical.

As long as the threat of Haxar Fort is lost, the Burning Legion can attack behind Haxar Fort without any scruples, and with the weak defense line there, it will not last long.

Behind Haksa Fort is the largest plain of the Roland Empire, where the most fertile land of the entire country is concentrated, and in previous years, the three provinces on this plain could provide more than 50% of the grain for the entire Roland Empire, which can be regarded as the most important granary in the Roland Empire.

In addition, in the early stage of the war, according to the comprehensive evacuation plan formulated by the God of War Alliance, the Roland Empire has relocated most of the relatively important factories in other parts of the country here.

It is these retreating factories that continue to deliver all kinds of weapons to the front line, as well as the necessary materials for the war, that have allowed the Roland Empire to hold on to this point.

It can be said that even this piece of the incomparably important plain has fallen.

Then there is no difference between the Roland Empire and those members of the royal family who are currently in exile in the Orc Empire and need to rely on the relief of the little dwarf Modo to survive, and those refugees who need to work hard to get back two meals of gruel.

As one of the three major military powers on the continent in the past, and now one of the two giants of the God of War Alliance, His Majesty Roland IX, the proud Roland IX, and the equally proud people under his command, even if they all die in battle, they can't accept such a result.

In anticipation of the inevitable war, just a month before the start of the war, His Majesty Roland IX issued Order No. 227, which would be famous in the history of the war to come:

In the defense of Haksa Fort, all the defenders were not allowed to take a step back, all violators were executed, and their families were sent to hard labor camps.

In addition, every house and street in the city must be turned into a strong fortress, and as long as there is one person who holds there, it is necessary to do everything possible to delay the enemy's attack......

In order to hold on here, Roland IX has transferred all the mobile troops that can be used in the country from all over the Roland Empire, so that the size of the defenders of Haksa Fort has reached an astonishing 3.1 million.

In addition, 800,000 old and infirm women and children were stranded in the city, and they should have been evacuated to the rear in the original plan.

It was only because the Burning Legion's attack was so fast that the city was quickly besieged, and the dereliction of duty of His Royal Highness Prince Leonard, the third prince of the empire who was in charge of the implementation of this work, caused the fate of these people to be doomed.

Roland IX decisively used the bloody head of his own son, Prince Leonard, to quickly quell everyone's resentment, and expressed his determination that he would not evacuate the city, as he had said, would not be just words.

The old and weak women and children stranded in Haksa Fort, without exception, were given an imitation of the Iron Ball Bomb, and the official personnel of the Roland Empire, when they personally awarded the bomb to them, told them very clearly:

It is necessary to sound it when it is necessary, and it is better to be killed with the demons than to be brutally killed by the demons, or to be reduced to an even more tragic captive......

As for the Burning Legion on the attacking side, the total strength is about 9 million, of which the number of main demons is around 400,000; frankly speaking, I have long been accustomed to the tidal wave of the Burning Legion's army, and although this scale is still very difficult to resist, it is not very amazing.

According to the analysis of intelligence from a group of vampire spies and from the front line, it seems that the DreadHand Legion under the Burning Legion is no longer as abundant as it was after several years of fighting and experiencing amazing attrition.

The opponent has invested less than 10 million troops on a large number of fronts, and a certain strategic point has only invested less than 10 million troops, which makes the little dwarf Modo unclear, which is not good news.

At the beginning of the war, due to the resolute resistance of the defenders of the Roland Empire, the attack of the Burning Legion was very unsuccessful.

Perhaps it was because the number of cannon fodder demons was no longer so abundant that the commanders could consume them wantonly, and after several days of attacking, the commander of the Burning Legion found that he had lost hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder demons in vain because the attack was not going well, but the distance of the advance was very limited, so he suspended the attack.

A few days later, when the huge green flames smashed on the defenders' positions and began to wreak havoc, the defenders of the Roland Empire figured out their opponent's intentions.

It turned out that during the short truce of a few days, the Burning Legion successfully set up their two evil cannons outside the city that had already created countless terrifying and powerful evil cannons on the continent of Fira.

The tremendous power of the evil cannons is not something that can be resisted by flesh and blood and the courage in the body; often, under a single shot, the unfortunate position will disappear in an instant, along with the defenders above.

However, after two days of continuous bombardment, the casualty reports piled up on Roland IX's desk had reached the point where his heart was trembling, and what was even worse was that the morale of a large number of defending troops was about to collapse in the face of this kind of battle, which could only be beaten and could not fight back......

On the third day, the defenders of the Roland Empire suddenly abandoned a large number of positions and retreated to the rear, and the commander of the Burning Legion naturally did not give up this golden opportunity, and immediately filled a large number of troops into the city.

Soon, he understood that Roland IX's tactics were nothing more than using the intertwined battle lines in the city to completely mix the two sides together, so that the powerful evil artillery with fluttering heads would no longer be useful.

Not long after the start of the battle, the defense of Haksa Fort went straight into brutal street fighting.
