Chapter 223: Reinforcements That Can't Wait
Mu Li stared at him with a look that made Famorim feel extremely uncomfortable, and deliberately smiled ill-intentionedly.
"We want to discuss the rescue and participate together?" Mu Li asked deliberately.
"Not necessarily. Sure enough, Farmolife was too smart to be involved in this kind of meeting or not, but if something happened in the subsequent operation, it was easy to be suspected, and now he needed to avoid suspicion, "I'm going to the city wall to see what is going on." ”
Mu Li politely made a gesture of please, followed by a loud roar in his ears, Jester didn't know when he ran back again, this guy is really stubborn.
"Rihanna showed me him. Mu Li looked at the inspector who was running over and roared.
Rihanna sighed silently and said, "I look at him, who looks at you?"
Mu Li was about to argue, but when she saw Cole just coming from the other direction, she clapped her hands excitedly and laughed, "Don't you see this coming?"
Without saying a word, Rihanna rushed over and grabbed Jester's collar and walked inside, stunned the black cry who caught up. At the same time, there was a commotion around Mu Li, and the reckless behavior of Grek and Meiyin appearing in sight out of thin air once again stirred up a tense atmosphere.
Mu Li hurriedly raised his hands and shouted: "My own people!"
Famorim clenched his fists, genuinely disgusted by what Mu Li had done, and a wave of anger that had nowhere to vent turned into bursts of cold chills, straight towards the lawless and reckless guy.
"Uh...... I'm sorry......" Mu Li turned his head stiffly, looking at Farmolim's unusually fierce appearance.
"Lord Dongfang, please try to restrain your subordinates, of course, if you can't do it, I don't mind helping. After Famorim finished speaking, he turned around and left, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would really not be able to control his own hands.
"Yes, yes...... Hey, walk slowly, don't send ...... Fuck ......" Mu Li put down his hands waving goodbye, and cursed resentfully, "It's endless to give you a good face, I really thought I was afraid of you, and I had the ability to fight ...... alone"
"Okay, okay......" Cole put his head on Mu Li's arm and stopped her from opening her teeth and claws, "You haven't been in trouble long enough, and you're still provocative." ”
"He doesn't have the right to confine me. ”
"Then why are you keeping your voice down? Are you going to give up on yourself now?"
"I'm ......" Mu Li stammered, extremely depressed, "Aren't I trying to make less trouble?" Theron told me not to go against others anymore, otherwise I might not be able to get out of the Great Trace Fortress." ”
It's rare that she can be so well-behaved.
Greck and Meiyin looked at each other incredulously, what happened during this time? Listening to the meaning of their words, she was locked up, and she was really kicked to the iron plate, hahaha......
"Schadenfreude!" Mu Li glared at the two of them, and then noticed that they were unusually embarrassed, and even their clothes were torn in many places, "It seems that this job is not easy for you!"
Well, I suddenly felt comfortable.
Miin laughed miserably, "Thanks to this, it's still a little convincing, otherwise it would be too difficult to enter the fortress." ”
Mu Li looked in the direction of her finger, and the two soldiers were panting in this direction, looking like they were the people who had been arranged to "escort" them, but they didn't stop and ran away. Mu Li asked Cole to explain clearly, and he didn't know until this time that his entire team was still locked up because of Famorim's orders, and Cole was able to come out because of his threatening words, plus his status as the captain of the Royal Guard.
"Your uncle, sooner or later, I'm going to teach that bastard a good lesson. Mu Li was indignant, there was no way, even in the highest capital of Starmia, she had never been so aggrieved, others had always been afraid of her, let her, spoil her...... Uh, I seem to be really hateful when I say that, damn it-
"Hee-hee, I like him. Meiyin chuckled.
Greck's face immediately changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's pretty interesting......"
"What, you know him?" Mu Li asked, interrupting Greek's inexplicable anger by the way.
"How is it possible, see you for the first time. Mei Yin said.
Mu Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Greck.
"What's wrong?" Greck instinctively said something different.
"Your master knows. Mu Li said.
The two reacted for a second, and suddenly realized that Mu Li was not talking about "Xia Feng", but "master", which should be something related to the Phantom Starry Sky, but why did the master know such a person in the distant fortress? )
Grek was about to ask clearly, but several people had already arrived in the conference room, and Mu Li took the two of them in to report the situation.
Cedric is not there, obviously, he is not willing to participate too much in the rescue of the Azores, the rescue team led by Lieutenant Colonel Yatu was sent out from the Monument Fortress, and now it is still blocked by the Golden Knights of Ikanathan in the Angola Pass; moreover, since he has begun to transfer troops from elsewhere to participate in the battle on the Northern Front, and it will not affect his current mission, it is advantageous and harmless to properly avoid or even withdraw in this operation, no matter what the outcome of the rescue of the Azores City is, as long as the Giant Fortress provides sufficient logistical support, it is a credit; and besides, the Supreme Commander of the Northern Army is not Brigadier General Cedric, there is no need for him to wade into this troubled water, and now that the Azores city has fallen, I am afraid that the most direct evidence is needed to prove it.
Colonel Gendry was different, he knew that he couldn't help in the Great Fortress and would be disliked, so even the troops were left outside, so the all-out rescue of the Azores became the most effective way to participate, after all, it was an important node. Of course, there are other reasons, but they are insignificant for military operations.
Jester, who had arrived one step ahead of them, held back his anger and resentment and told everyone about the situation in the city of the Azores in the past few months, when he first arrived here, no one would listen to him and condemn him as a traitor, and now the people who were willing to give him a chance to speak were from outside the northern army, thanks to the little girl who had just entered the door?
“...... Leaving the Azores with me, there were a total of fourteen people who came to the fortress to ask for reinforcements, along the way, we passed through many enemy blockades, and constantly encountered mercenaries and other stragglers, and more than a dozen others died on the road, it was my luck to be here......" Jester spoke with obvious weakness, but his tone was unusually quiet, obviously he was numb to "war" and "death".
Mu Li and the three of them found a corner where no one was around, she looked at Jester, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he seemed to be lifeless as if he had gone through vicissitudes, and he was completely different from him who was excited to kill just now, and it was difficult for her to understand what kind of memories made him have this change. But from Jester's description of his efforts to control his emotions, it seems that everyone can finally get a glimpse of the vague and bloody corner of the defense of the Azores.
When the Icanathan's army first invaded the territory of Starmia by land, the city of the Azores, as the largest city near the border, immediately organized a defense, and sent people to the location of the provincial capital to report the situation and ask for reinforcements. The Icanathan army was menacing, although the northern army had also arranged additional troops before, but due to various reasons, the so-called increase did not match the name, whether it was scale, speed, or other related arrangements, it did not meet the established requirements.
Before the reinforcements arrived, the Icanathan navy captured the only outlet to the sea in the north - the port of Gothsay, and the combined force composed of hundreds of mercenaries was continuously transported ashore, and smoothly captured all the peripheral areas including Yunlai Town, Baishi Town, Chiang Mai City and several other large mining towns along the way, and almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and killed under the Azores.
Most of the townspeople around the Azores fled into the city, but some did not leave in time. Those mercenaries had no military discipline and wantonly slaughtered and looted, and Justin ordered to go out of the city to rescue many times, but it was all a drop in the bucket. And due to the lack of troops, it was impossible to continue fighting, and opening up a battlefield outside the city became a complete luxury. Coupled with the mercenaries' scattered combat methods, it has increased their mobility, and they can't catch up, let alone destroy the living forces of the coalition army.
After the mercenary coalition merged in the Azores City, they also had a plan to fight as quickly as before, after all, the previous towns were all destroyed at once, and countless looted were looted, they tasted the sweetness, and naturally felt that the Azores City could also be so smooth. It is said that in order to be the first to enter the city, and who will make a windfall in the city first, several large mercenary leaders competed for the bloody heads.
According to the agreement between the coalition forces and Icanathan, any city or village that is attacked will be given to the mercenaries, who can loot it at will, and it will not be included in the mercenary fee, and those who have plundered, especially the miners, will be handed over to Icanathan.
These mercenaries dare to take over Icanathan's business, first, because they think that Starmia will definitely be defeated, and then there is the huge interest temptation and Icanathan's deception, otherwise what kind of mercenary group would dare to oppose a big empire?
The effect of the war in the early stage was indeed as they expected, and the harvest was quite rich. But what they did not expect was that they encountered the fiercest and most stubborn resistance under the Azores.
At the head of the city, Jastin commanded the Starian soldiers to guard the city walls, arrows, magic bullets and other means of attack emerged one after another, and even went out of the city to fight at one point, and in the city, the people and miners from all over the city spontaneously organized themselves to take on logistical duties, ensure the supply of supplies and weapons for the soldiers, treat the wounded, etc. - there is no doubt that the beasts killed their relatives and friends, what else could they do but take revenge, but to protect everything they had?
After all, mercenaries are not regular troops, and it may be okay to plunder land, but they are definitely laymen when they attack cities. Therefore, the army of Icanathan, led by Colonel Philip, arrived later, carrying large siege equipment to destroy the city walls, and the rest of the attack was still handled by mercenaries, such as going up to fight hard.
