The next morning, when it was still dark, the camp of the middle army of Tytaria, commanded by Talohill, began to be noisy, and the roars of countless animals joined together to form the characteristic morning song of Tytaria. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time the busy trainers had fed the hungry beasts, it was already three poles of the day, and then the well-fed beasts marched in a mighty procession toward Standwick in the order of their marching procession. The bull is roaring, the dragon eagle is roaring, many lizardmen are lining up in a line, carrying bony spears to follow the herd, and occasionally a few bipedal wyverns are flying in the sky, and the whole team looks murderous and imposing.

With such a huge procession, the marching queue alone was expelled for several miles, coupled with the shouting of people and horses, the roaring of beasts, and the sound could be heard clearly from a few miles away, so naturally there was no secrecy at all.

Moreover, with a team of more than 100,000 people, it is basically impossible to keep it secret, as long as the enemy is not blind, he will definitely be able to see the team that stretches for miles. In addition to the daily griffon patrol on the border of Erathia, this approaching Titaria army has long been discovered, I am afraid that the arrival time of the Titaria army will be estimated by the other party, therefore, if you want to raid, don't think about it, if you want to seize the stadvik, the support point of Erathia's western defense, you can only attack, there is no other way.

Talorhill was also well aware of this, so he was not prepared to deliberately hide the movement of the team, and generously pulled the team away, intending to use absolute strength to intimidate the defenders of Standwick. Strive to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

At this time, Queen Catherine had already arrived in Standwick half a month earlier. Knowing the king's current situation, Queen Catherine feared a surprise attack by Tytalia, so she sent a large number of soldiers from the surrounding noble territories to Standwick, and strengthened the city walls, dug a few feet down the trenches outside the city, and a large number of trebuchets were assembled and sent into the predetermined throwing positions, and bundles of arrows and bottles of Greek fire were transported out of the warehouse and delivered to the city walls. A large number of ballistas were also sent to the arrow towers on the city walls, and by this time, the whole of Standwick had been transformed into a giant hedgehog.

The city's griffin units were also sent out to conduct non-stop reconnaissance, and these reconnaissance griffons often flew close to the border.

Originally, the nobles in the city were a little unimpressed with Queen Catherine's preparations for war, thinking that this was a big fuss, which was originally quite a bit of a complaint. However, the approaching Tethalian army gave these nobles a slap in the face, making them realize the wisdom of Queen Catherine, which made them instantly change their attitude and become Catherine's loyal supporters, donating supplies and conspiring to fight the enemy.

After all, things don't allow them to be careless. After all, Standwick is their old nest, the foundation of their business for many years, and if Standwick is captured by Tytalia, then their years of hard work will be ruined, so they have to fight desperately, both for the country and for themselves.

Queen Catherine smiled bitterly at this situation, and she could not imagine that one day she would also need to use external forces to force the kingdom to temporarily abandon the struggle and unite with the outside world.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and it is a good thing that the nobles have united for the time being, at least, they now have a common enemy, and they can at least achieve a semblance of peace between them until the enemy is defeated.

By the time the time reached the afternoon, Tytaria's army had finally marched to the city of Erathia, and by this time, Queen Catherine had already stood at the head of the city opposite Standwick in her uniform, and beside her stood Kennan and Count Christine, the lord of Standwick.

Earl Christine was wearing a bright silver full-body family standing at the head of the city with a serious expression, looking at the mighty team and frowning as if considering countermeasures, at this time there were less than 20,000 soldiers in Standwick City, including 5,000 pikemen, 5,000 swordsmen, 2,000 knights, 2,000 archers, 500 griffin knights, and some auxiliary troops, such as trebuchets, ballista loaders, etc., although some troops were drawn from the surrounding noble territories, but these troops were really a drop in the bucket for Standwick。

Although they had done their best to improve the fortifications of Standwick before this, in the face of a more than ten times difference in strength, Earl Christine was still unsure that they could hold Standwick.

Just as he hesitated, Queen Catherine's voice came from the side, "Earl Christine, do you think we can hold Standwick?"

Earl Christine was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied, "Your Majesty, we will do our best to hold Standwick, and if we fail, let the enemy step over my corpse." ”

Queen Catherine couldn't help but sigh when she heard Christine's words, because she knew that the chance of Standwick holding on was probably less than fifty percent, otherwise, Earl Christine would not have said such words. Just as she was about to say something to boost her morale, a hoarse chirp rang out in the sky, and more than thirty bipedal wyverns flew towards Standwick from afar, flashing their huge wings.

"Enemy attack! It's a two-legged wyvern, pay attention to air defense, pay attention to acid protection!" At this time, the alarm bell on the castle tower was sounded, and a large number of archers and pikemen poured into the city, and the archers raised their bows and arrows in their hands and shot rows of sharp arrows at the bipedal wyvern hovering above the city wall under the command of the captain.

Sharp arrows shot towards the bipedal wyvern, crackling, after a rain of arrows, because the bipedal wyvern was in the air, some arrows successfully shot down some of the scales of the bipedal wyvern, but it did not have much effect on the overall effect.

The wyvern was so furious by the arrows that it swooped down towards the dense phalanx of archers on the city wall, despite the resistance of the beast trainer on it, hoping to teach the arrogant humans a lesson.

Just as a bipedal wyvern swooped straight down, a voice rang out, "Pikeman, raise your gun, stab!"

Suddenly, a cold light pierced out from the archers' array, and the rushing bipedal wyvern didn't have time to slow down, and slammed straight into the array of pikemen hidden among the archers. Directly stabbed into a honeycomb by the spear that shimmered with cold light.

Seeing this, the remaining bipedal wyverns hurriedly raised their heights. He opened his mouth and prepared to breathe in acid.

Seeing this, Christine hurriedly suggested to Queen Catherine, "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous on the city wall now, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while." ”

Catherine glanced at Christine and flatly refused, "I just stand here, watching my soldiers, if this place cannot be held, then I will fall with Standwick, and the glory of Erathia cannot fall in my hands." ”
