Chapter 145: Misfortune Leads to the East

Ramirez has led his men to besiege Hill City for two days, and has launched two attacks, but the effect has made him desperate, and he is a little overwhelmed at this moment.

As soon as he arrived at the nearly 100-meter-high hill below Hill City and launched a tentative siege, Ramirez was a little crazy.

He was surprised to find that although the top of the hill where Hill City was located was very flat terrain, the slopes around the hills were very steep, and even, on the slopes, there were two artificially excavated landslides around the small hills, and these two landslides were more than ten meters high, and the slopes were almost 90 degrees, and it was impossible to climb at all.

In addition, there is only one city gate in Hill City, which is the main gate, there is no side gate and back door, and there is only a five-meter-wide stone step to climb the small hill, however, this stone step is not very smooth, but presents a nine-curved and eighteen-bend shape to turn to the mountain, so it is impossible to charge on the stone steps.

Thus, after the first tentative siege of the city, Ramirez's troops lost nearly 500 men on the stairs up the mountain, and they did not even touch the city gates.

After resting for half a day, Ramirez personally led the troops in a second siege, this time, they attacked the gate of Hill City, and also killed more than a hundred Terran troops defending the city, according to the number of residents in Hill City, these more than 100 defenders are almost one-fifth of the total strength of the city.

Just as Ramirez relied on his super strength, he was the first to climb the thirty-meter-high city wall and prepare to open the city gates. When he put his men into the city, suddenly. From within the city, several Saint Rank masters whose strength was not below him were killed, among them. There are both melee Dou Sheng-level powerhouses, as well as range-range attack-level Fa Sheng-level fiercers.

As a result, after being stabbed twice and beaten a few times by magic, Ramirez fled outside the city in a hurry, and just as he was about to order his men to evacuate the stairs, all the holy rank masters in the city were killed, and directly slaughtered the snowfield orc troops on the stairs, only Ramirez dragged a wounded and reluctantly fled to the bottom of the hills.

Ultimately. As soon as the losses were counted, Ramirez found that his men had lost more than 1,000 more than 1,000 on the ladder, plus more than 500 people killed in the previous battle, and he had lost more than 2,000 of his men in less than a day of the battle, and the losses were almost one-tenth of his entire army.

Dying such a little bit doesn't hurt Ramirez's heart, after all. War is death, and it is understandable how many people die, but these two defeats were a blow to the morale of his own troops. It is not to be underestimated, and now the whole army is enveloped in a mood of decadence.

Even. Even Ramirez, who caused this result, had prestige among his troops. It has also dropped a lot, and the middle-level officers under him have begun to be dissatisfied. Rumors began to spread among his army, most of which were scolding Ramirez for his incompetence and vicious curses for Ramirez's family.

At this time, in the gorgeous Chinese army tent, there were only two people, Ramirez and Adonis, Ramirez sat in the innermost part of the tent with an angry face, under his hips, there was a gorgeous chair made of pine and bear tendons, and Yadonis, sitting on Ramirez's left hand side, under his hips, was the most ordinary jujube wood round stool.

"Why didn't you tell me that there are so many Saint Rank masters under Lenio Wharton!" Ramirez slammed out his right hand and pointed at Adonis's nose and roared.

"Don't come here, the responsibility for the defeat is all yours, don't try to splash dirty water on me, I have already advised you, get around here, it is you who ignorantly disobey the orders of Lord Downs, and insist on taking down here!" Adonis raised his eyes slightly with an expressionless face, and glanced at the angry Ramirez, his eyes full of contempt.

Because his prestige had declined too quickly and too much, Ramirez's purpose in shouting at Adonis was indeed to his subordinates, and he really wanted to put all the blame for the defeat on Adonis.

However, after all, Adonis is the chief staff officer under Downs Wharton, and his intelligence level is far from being comparable to that of a reckless man like Ramirez.

"Don't make excuses!" Ramirez sprang up from his chair and rushed to Adonis, looking down at Adonis, who was still sitting on the round bench with a calm expression, and continued to point to his head and roared: "Aren't you the one in charge of intelligence, Lenio Wharton has left several Saint Rank masters in the city, don't you know!"

"I said, don't splash dirty water on me, all the responsibility for the defeat is yours," after saying a flat sentence, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared from Adonis's body, and he directly bounced Ramirez out in front of him, "Also, think about how you can end up with Lord Dons, you have disobeyed the orders of the lord, and you have lost a large number of troops, your future is worrying." ”

After being swept twice by the energy flow spewing from Adonis's body, Ramirez stood firm, and then he realized that Adonis, who was usually silent, was not even below him.

Ramirez's plan was to first accuse Adonis of guilt, then arrest him, control him, then put the blame for the defeat on him, and finally, kill him in front of his own men, so as to boost morale and at the same time, increase his prestige.

However, after discovering Adonis's strength, Ramirez realized that his plan to lead the way to the east could not be implemented, so he could only glare at Adonis and quickly consider a new plan.

"I know what you're thinking, Ramirez," Adonis sneered, slowly speaking Ramirez's thoughts, "You want to kill me, and then, bring the water to me, in order to boost the morale of your men, and at the same time, restore your prestige, right?" ”

After hearing Adonis express his thoughts all of a sudden, Ramirez's tangled expression changed, and he sat back in his chair dejectedly, and sighed lightly: "That's right, I had that kind of plan just now, but your strength makes me helpless......"

"You're quite honest, in that case, I'll tell you some information, and then show you the way," Adonis squinted at Ramirez, and said lightly: "The Holy Rank masters in the city may not be Lenio Wharton's subordinates, they may be the branch presidents of various guilds, because there are many guilds in the city, and they need to protect the property of the guild, so they will stop you from attacking the city, don't you notice, they didn't chase and kill, this shows that they only want to defend the city, and they have no intention of being an enemy of us." ”

Listening to Adonis's words, Ramirez nodded silently.

"Now, you only have two ways to go," Adonis gave Ramirez an idea, "First, leave quickly while Lenio Wharton has not returned, and second, contact the Lehman family who have taken refuge in the city, let them take control of the city, and then, let them declare their submission to us, then we can easily take the city, and those Holy Order masters in the city will no longer be our enemies, after all, they are not Heroe Wharton's men." ”

After listening to the idea that Adonis had given him, while Ramirez's eyes were wandering as he pondered what to choose, suddenly, the earth began to shake, and the camp was in turmoil...... (To be continued.) )
