Chapter 136 Life is endless, and arrogance is endless
Listening to Lola say that she wanted to introduce a "monster" to herself, Iron Fist Louis smiled bitterly:
"The encirclement is like an iron bucket, we will definitely not be able to get out, unless he can come, we will not be able to see each other. ”
"I wish he could come, but I don't want him to come. ”
"I see. Louie squeezed his eyes, "You like him, so you want him to accompany you on this journey, but you don't want him to die." ”
"!" Lola's eyes widened, and the melancholy girl's expression disappeared completely, turning back into a rough woman, "I want him to help, but I don't want him to rob me of my exploits!
"Hehe, you're so funny. Louis laughed and began to sigh again, "If I can survive this battle, I will also introduce you to that monster magician, so that you can get to know each other." ”
"Okay, when the time comes, the monsters will have a big gathering, and we will have fun together. ”
Lola's smile was a little reluctant, the outcome of this siege battle was probably doomed, and I don't know what belief has supported her to fight until now.
But they chatted for a long time, but they didn't know that the "monster" they both referred to was the same person.
Just as they were pretending to be casual and laughing, footsteps suddenly sounded nearby, and a female warrior in heavy armor approached.
It was also a beautiful woman, tall and long-legged, with satin-like shiny black hair and silver-white armor, the beauty could not hide her heroic spirit, and the armor and sword were also stained with blood, obviously killing countless enemies in the fierce battle just now.
Daughter of Marshal Fontaine, Deputy Commander of the 6th Guards Division, Colonel Miranda Fontaine!
If it weren't for the presence of these masters in the castle, it would be impossible to hold on to half a month with inferior troops.
And Miranda's always cold and arrogant face has a friendly smile at the moment:
"Major Moran, I have to admit that you are a very good soldier, far better than I originally expected!"
"Moran" is Lola's surname, and when used in conjunction with official titles, it should not be called by name, and it is formal enough to use a surname, and it is very incorrect for soldiers to call "Lola Major", and Miranda, who is well-educated, certainly does not make such a mistake.
But Lola didn't look at her at all, still leaning against the battlements of the wall, staring into the distance.
Ironfist Louis was slightly embarrassed by the scene in front of him, and after coughing a few times, he saluted the two commanders, saying that he had something to do and would not accompany him for the time being.
Lola shouted:
"Big man, you obviously don't have any, talk to me again!"
Louis was suddenly even more embarrassed, and it was not appropriate to leave, nor was it appropriate to stay, so he had to keep quiet.
Miranda sighed and approached Lola:
"Lola, I must clarify to you that I reported Changle's hiding place to fulfill my obligations as a citizen of the Empire, and I am also thinking about the overall situation, if my father can be reinstated because of this, the Empire will not be defeated so badly, and the civilians will not be slaughtered......"
Lola turned her head abruptly, her gaze coldly at Miranda, and then her gaze shifted to her feet.
Miranda had to stop, interrupting the ongoing explanation as well.
Lola didn't care what the other party said, she only reminded coldly:
"Very good, you remember, you can't get three meters close to me, otherwise, I'll kick your round and full ass hard!"
After speaking, she waited for a few seconds, and did not see Miranda's reaction, she added another word:
"Get out!"
The arrogant Miranda has never suffered this kind of humiliation in her life, her face is flushed, and her strength is obviously stronger than Lola, and her legs are not shorter than Lola.
However, here and now, the prestige of "Major Moran", who came from a humble background, is much higher than that of her marshal's daughter, "Colonel Fontaine".
If there is a conflict, I am afraid that no one will be on her side.
The obvious proof is that the soldiers who came and went to clean the battlefield next to him, although they wanted to salute both of them at the same time, their eyes swept over Miranda, and when they looked at Lola, their faces were full of respect and love, including even Miranda's own subordinates!
The two of them are just as decisive, their strength is still slightly better than Miranda, and their appearance is more beautiful than Miranda, at least she thinks so.
If you want to say that she is not as good as Lola, it is nothing more than patting shoulders and holding hands with ordinary soldiers, eating and living together, after all, that female man doesn't care about the difference between men and women at all, her language is vulgar, and she is from a civilian background.
And Miranda, as the only daughter of the marshal, the proud and beautiful daughter of the count, the eighteen-year-old colonel, and the future "countess", this kind of thing will definitely not be possible, even if you want to imitate it, you can't imitate it.
So in anger, Miranda gritted her teeth, but still chose to try to restrain herself, turned around and left.
She went straight back to the main building of the castle, and entered a room on the top floor, which was the commanding height of the city, and it should have been sunny, but because the window panels were all lowered, the room was pitch black, a few candles were flickering, and a man was guarding the round table, holding a wine glass to himself.
Miranda strode over, snatched the glass with her hand, and smashed it hard:
"You're a division commander, you have the highest rank in this fortress! But look at you, what are you doing?"
With that, she walked to the window again, pushed the window panel open, and lifted the bracket to support it:
"When the battle was at its most fierce just now, did you deign to come to the window to see the soldiers fighting bravely? Did you condescend from here to observe the movement and deployment of the enemy's troops?"
Weber was already drunk, and in a blink of an eye he took another wine glass and filled it, and grinned:
"Did I hear me right, my deputy division commander is reprimanding her immediate boss? my fiancée, she's reprimanding her fiancé? and, that ...... Put the window panel down and enemy arrows will come in. ”
"To answer my question, what have you done but to drink to drown your sorrows? If you go on like this, the castle will be breached sooner or later, and you have not planned to break out?"
"Break through?haha, the empire has been defeated, break out, there are enemy troops everywhere, and you have to be surrounded, and you have to break through, and you have to break out, and you have to break through again...... Haha, hahaha......"
"There is still a glimmer of life in the breakthrough, and you can only sit and wait for death with wine as a companion!"
"Vitality?haha, my father ran away and actually left me behind, obviously it was Agnes's slut who was a troublemaker! She has a leg with my father and wants to give birth to her own child to inherit the title, I blocked her way, where did I get my life? hahaha......"
"It was a mess, you couldn't find the commander-in-chief, and of course the commander-in-chief couldn't find you! I said Weber, dear Major General Stennis! Your father asked you to take the Sixth Division to protect his headquarters, and when you encountered an ambush, you became a mess and killed a bunch of senior generals, and you couldn't fight, who else could blame?"
"You say I can't fight?" Weber originally laughed stupidly, but when he heard this, he snapped up, "Who will fight? Who can win such a passive battle?" You tell me!"
"Don't change from passive to proactive, that's your problem!"
The argument quickly shifted to a tactical level, with Webb insisting that he had made no mistake and that all problems were blamed on enemy cunning and the fact that he had too many recruits in the Sixth Division to command.
The alcohol damaged Weber's eloquence, but it made him extremely violent, and he had to yell a few times if he didn't have a reason.
Miranda was humiliated by Lola at the head of the city, and at this moment Weber's face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help but slap the table with him, and the title of the "general" also changed:
"Young Master Webb! When will you be able to change your self-righteous faults? Everything is wrong with others, and you will always be right! You are really endless, and you are arrogant! I dare not say anything else, if this battle is replaced by Chang Le, it will be ...... commanded."
At this point, Miranda suddenly stopped, realizing that she had lost her words.
Weber was really furious, smashed the porcelain he could touch one by one, and shouted as he smashed:
"Chang Le! Chang Le! You really can't forget that untouchable boy! You became my fiancée, and you still think of him in your heart! A filthy and obscene despicable pariah!"
Miranda restrained her anger, but because of Weber's arrogance, she couldn't help but continue to stimulate the other party:
"He's a pariah, but he does fight, and you can't disagree! How many times has he defeated you in the military academy confrontation exercises? How many times has he defeated Philip's bandit troops in recent months?"
"He's a worthless robber! What can I prove if I win by trickery in the exercise? What kind of bullshit is to be a robber to win Philip's stupid private army!"
Webb was furious, and finally left the wine table and walked to the window, pointing to the enemy army outside the city:
"An elite division like this, you let that untouchable bandit try it! If he can win, I will take his surname!"
"Untouchables don't have surnames. ”
Miranda calmly reminded and pointed out the loopholes in the other party's gambling curse.
Weber's anger did not subside, but he suddenly laughed:
"Yes, he doesn't have a surname! Even if you marry him, I don't know whose surname to follow, by the way, you can use his first name as a surname and change your name to Miranda......?
"I won't marry him, but I won't marry you either, the marriage contract is canceled, you just keep drinking!
Miranda ran out of patience and turned away.
Webber was furious again, and chased after him with the staggering steps of a drunkard:
"You have repented of the marriage contract? I knew you weren't sincere! I've been engaged for so long, and I won't let you touch you, are you still a virgin? Have you ever had anything with Chang Le? I want to check! Take off this hard armor and let me check ......"
"Get out!" Miranda finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, and her long legs flew out, kicking Webb into the air and smashing the wine table to pieces.
Webber is very strong, and he is so vulnerable in front of Miranda, all thanks to alcohol.
The defense of Fort Stanley is basically impossible to count on this major general.
Fortunately, for the rest of the day, the enemy did not launch a new offensive.
The night was surprisingly calm.
The next day, when the sun rose in the east and the trumpets began to gather outside the city, the defenders came to the city and knew that the last moment had come, for they saw that the enemy army today was completely different from the past.
First of all, the military appearance has become much stronger, and the number of people seems to have increased by two or three thousand overnight, making up for the casualties and losses of half a month, and restoring the scale of tens of thousands of people, and what is even more terrifying is the appearance of siege machinery.
The three trebuchets had already been assembled and were ready two hundred meters away, and one ramming ram was pushed by dozens of soldiers, slowly advancing under the cover of iron plates overhead, and huge logs suspended in the middle, once they were swinging, it was enough to inflict a devastating blow on the city gates!
The two siege engines have also adjusted their heights, and the dense soldiers are rushing up the ladder, squeezing on the five-meter-high platform, just waiting for the cars to push over, they can collectively jump on the city wall and kill directly!
Many ladders were carried on the shoulders of the entire column of soldiers, and it was a familiar picture, so there was no need to say more.
The most terrifying thing is a phalanx of red-clothed warriors, the formation is not neatly arranged, but this dark red army uniform is enough to prove their identity, the Agni Army!
In front of this team of strong cultivators, whether it is Lola, Louie, or Miranda, it is impossible to easily kill a few in and a few out, and when the difference in strength is small, the numerical advantage becomes terrifying and fatal.
The Agni forces were not on the front line, but as soon as a breach was opened at any point in the walls or gates, the sharp knife would inevitably find a gap and reach the vital point, dealing the deadliest blow to Fort Stanley.
Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall were very calm, and the soldiers had a good relationship with each other, and they did not shout, and they should come sooner or later, and everyone had already been mentally prepared for this day.
Lola, the "Tyrannosaurus" was much gentler than usual, with a smile on her face, and ordered several soldiers to maintain order and take the refugees behind the castle building to avoid the trebuchet.
For the same reason, she told most of the soldiers to also remove the walls, leaving only a few to monitor the enemy's movements with her.
The soldier crouched behind the battlements of arrows, but Lola stood straight, with a barrel-shaped helmet in her arms, her long hair fluttering in the morning breeze, and her face reflected as beautiful as flowers in the morning sun.
Louis Iron Fist stood aside and asked with a smile:
"See you're in a good mood?"
"You can have a good time, of course you're in a good mood. ”
Louis nodded:
"Anyway, the last moment has come, and to be honest, you are the bravest warrior and the most beautiful girl, and I have a very good impression of you. ”
Lola "haha" smiled:
"Finally someone looks at me like a woman! Thank you!"
Louis was puzzled, the girl in front of him, no matter how fierce the fighting style is, her appearance and figure can be classified as a peerless beauty, and anyone will see her as a man?
usually chats with the soldiers in private, and everyone clearly regards her as a goddess, the kind that both admires and does not dare to blaspheme!
But no matter how much she asked, Lola stopped talking, and looked into the distance thoughtfully.
At this time, the horn of the bull under the city sounded for a long time, and the enemy army began to move.
Except for the besieging troops to maintain a strict formation, the 5,000 men responsible for the siege task had already been assembled, and at this time, the column led by siege vehicles and ladders on their shoulders, then archers, and then infantry, all advanced slowly, and the footsteps were neat and low, full of solemnity, which made people's hearts tighten.
As the troops advanced, the commander on the high slope seemed much more lonely, with only staff, adjutants, and guards by his side, but his safety was obviously not in question, because the fire troops waiting for the opportunity were not far from the slope.
He pointed to the already familiar figure at the head of the city, and shouted to the Agni troops:
"That woman, it's better to take it alive, she killed too many of my soldiers, I will make her pay all kinds of price!"
The Flame Troops giggled and joked foul with each other, and the topic went down three ways.
At this moment, someone suddenly reported next to the commander:
"Sir, a man came out of the woods over there and came to us on horseback!"
The commander casually turned back:
"Who?"
"I don't know, he looks young, relatively delicate, has no armor and weapons, dresses decently, like a nobleman. ”
"Probably here to surrender, the guards stopped him and asked. ”
The commander didn't pay much attention to this, still watching Lola at the head of the city.
Lola was smiling at this time, holding a big stick in both hands, facing the rain of stones thrown by the trebuchet, still standing proudly, occasionally a stone flew near her, she jumped forward, swung the stick and slammed it, and after a loud bang, the large stone that was torn apart smashed into the enemy army under the city.
"Good!" Louis of Iron Fist couldn't help but applaud.
Lola suddenly sighed:
"You say, if I hadn't been so fierce, dressed up nicely from the beginning, and pretended to be well-behaved in front of him, would he have liked me?"
Seeing that his life was about to come to an end, the "Great Tyrannosaurus" could not let go of this matter.
Louis was stunned:
"No way, pretend to be well-behaved, you're not that kind of person!"
"That's right. Lola smiled faintly, "Before she died, her mother-in-law was embarrassed." ”
With that, she took a few steps abruptly and roared at the incoming enemy challenge, the voice fierce and bold, as if an ancient beast had broken through the earth, and her long hair was shaken up by the roar, like black flames flying in the air.
The enemy troops were also so frightened that they retreated, and the neat phalanx suddenly split to both sides, forming some kind of "human" shape, leaving a blank space in front of Lola, and they all rushed to the farther wall.
In fact, no matter where she lands in the city, Lola has long legs and is light, and she can arrive in a blink of an eye, and this distance is just out of the subconscious psychology of the group.
As if echoing Lola, a thunderous roar sounded on the high slope in the distance, and the sound became rougher and louder, not only spreading throughout the four fields, but also reaching into the sky.
That high slope is exactly where the enemy commander is!
The besieging troops couldn't help but turn their heads, and then they exclaimed in surprise, and the charge came to a complete halt.
The commanders, the staff, and the guards were all lying on the ground at some point.
A well-dressed young man took the commander's place, and the black horse he rode stood tall and matched the roar of his master with a terrible neigh.
"What's going on?" Louie, as well as many of the soldiers defending the city, were amazed.
Seeing this, the fire troops not far from the high slope shouted and drew their swords and rushed over in a chaotic manner.
Two hundred cultivators, this is a formidable and powerful force!
But as soon as they rushed halfway up the slope, a fireball from the car ** smashed on their heads, and suddenly a blazing gap was blasted out in the red-clothed army, dozens of people were killed or wounded, and the "fire troops" finally got their wish, covered with flames.
"Pull away, pull away, pull away, he's a mage!" shouted the men in red.
"That's a magician!" Louis shouted at the head of the city, "such a big fireball, could it be that monster coming?"
Since it was to deal with the mage, it was necessary to get close as soon as possible, and after receiving another fireball, the surviving red-clothed people finally surrounded and gathered.
But the young man who was still dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic costume was wrapped in hideous black armor in an instant, and a fire-like green flame rose behind itself, and a five-meter-long knife extended out of his hand.
"Kill!" a low, demonic roar came from the black armor.
His hand-to-hand combat style is 10 times more terrifying than when a fireball is released from the air! The so-called "Flame Troops" are like being swept head-on by a black flood, with people rolling on their backs and heads rolling.
Although the strength of the Agni troops was strong, their morale and will were not high, and when they encountered such a tragic blow, they suddenly turned into birds and beasts.
And with the sound of "kill" of the black-armored people, the rumbling hooves sounded, and an army of the same black-armored army emerged from the high slope farther away, the black flag fluttered, rolling up billowing dust and smoke, and swooped towards the siege troops.
Look at the width of this row, this skyrocketing dust, there is an endless stream of people in the dust, and there are more than 10,000 people attacking the army!
The besieging troops, and even the besieging forces further away, were not lined up facing the attacking place in the first place, and seeing that the enemy army was so strong and they had lost their command, they suddenly had their own opinions and became a mess.
The black-armored man roared again, and his voice shook the earth, causing countless enemy soldiers to be terrified, and even their legs were limp and collapsed.
Then he rushed down the slope with his sword raised, and together with the mighty cavalry behind him, he rushed down the scattered enemy army.
At the head of the city, the defending soldiers saw the rescuers descending from the sky, and immediately shouted in surprise and hugged each other.
Even Lola is in tears.
Louie smiled:
"I didn't expect you to cry too?"
Lola suddenly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled:
"It's him, he's coming!"
