For Nahias, the Red Fortress was not a suitable defensive position for the simple reason that it was the other way around. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Generally speaking, the fortified defense line was built with high walls in front of the position, and then in the rear there were places where the soldiers lived and stored supplies. In this way, you can ensure that even if you are forced to the door by the other party, you can make a certain degree of rotation adjustment on your side. Of course, the fortress also depends on the terrain, and if it is a plain area that is easily besieged, then it must be defended in all directions. And if it's the kind of terrain that only needs to be defended, then it is enough to do enough defensive work in front, and as for the back, you can let it go.

And at the moment, the Red Fortress is like this, although their front-line defense is indeed outstanding, but the rear is relatively weak, it is just a general city wall standard, which completely fails to meet the requirements of the fortress defense battle, the reason is also very simple, when the fortress was built, West naturally also considered the possibility of being taken away by the other party, of course they didn't want to spend such a big price to make a wedding dress for the enemy in the end, so the Red Fortress is this typical front tight and then loose- Even if it was occupied by the enemy, the weak defensive line in the rear would not be able to resist the counterattack from West's interior, so that West could easily recapture the fortress. And by that time, the invaders would have no more to do -- what could they do? Learn from West and hide behind the walls of the fortress? The problem is that there is nothing behind them.

This is also the reason why after occupying the Red Fortress, the Sith Empire did not continue to move forward but chose to fold the edge, and fortunately, the West Empire completely collapsed under the toss of Yulian, otherwise it would not be certain who would have died in this deer.

Since the hardware can't keep up, then the software has to make up for it, which is why in the end Lintillot arranged for Nahias to defend here.

And for this order, Nahias obeyed, of course.

As the first gifted knight to become famous in the Sith Empire, Nahias has a deep affection for this country, he can be regarded as an orthodox quasi-Sith, living in the Sith Empire since he was a child, growing up listening to those humiliating stories, and even experiencing the sorrow and shame of a weak country. It was these things that made Nahias feel very attached to his country, and he always wanted to play for his country, and he did just that.

Before Lintilott, Sidwi and Karan appeared, the entire Sith Empire was fought by Nahias alone, and he worked hard and had no regrets. However, deep down in the heart of this old general, in fact, he is also a little unwilling, although he has defended the border for the Sith Empire all his life, but this does not mean that he wants to continue like this, of course he knows that even if he is a talented knight, he will not escape the years, sooner or later he will grow old and die, and at that time, what will the Sith Empire become?

There was a time when Nahias was very worried about this issue.

But now, he is completely relieved.

With the appearance of the three gifted knights, the strength of the Sith Empire's army has reached an unprecedented height, and their sphere of influence has begun to expand rapidly, which makes Nahias very, very gratified, because he has seen that even if he falls, the Sith Empire will not have any problems because of this.

Among the four generals of Damnation, the one who made Nahias feel this way the most was the silver king, Lyntilot.

Although Sidwig and Kahlan are the main offensive and forwards, Nahias's evaluation of the two of them is actually not high, the reason is very simple, as an old man, he doesn't like Sidwig's fury and Karan's amorous style, thinking that they are not stable enough to be trusted with peace of mind. Sidwi might have said that after all, Lintillot was in charge of her, but the man Karan made Nahias very uneasy, and he always felt that the young half-elf had an idea of his own, and that it was not an idea that was good for the country.

Only Lintillot is the guarantee that reassures the veteran.

In fact, Nahias's previous worries were not based on arrogance, believing that he was the patron saint of the Sith, and that if he died, the Sith would be finished. On the contrary, he is just worried that the current situation of the Sith can only rely on himself will continue like this, which is not a good sign for the veteran, and he hopes that the Sith Empire can make changes, even if he is gone, they will not be afraid of the threat of the surrounding countries, if he can do this, then even if he is useless to the Sith Empire, then Nahias is satisfied.

The ideal is good, but unfortunately the reality is not so simple, Nahias himself is just a soldier after all, although he can consciously promote some capable officers on the front line, but it can only go so far, the rise and revival of the Sith Empire is not something he can do, he does have considerable prestige in the empire, but prestige cannot be eaten.

And the appearance of Lintillot gave Nahias hope.

She's not like Sidwig and Karan, who are useless off the battlefield -- in fact, that's why the veterans don't have faith in either of them. On the contrary, even outside the battlefield, Lintillot can do well, and through negotiations, she has solved the barbarian problem that has been hanging on the border of the empire for decades, not only stabilizing one of the borders of the empire, but even at the cost of transportation trade, in exchange for the protection and extension of the Sith Empire's borders.

Even Nahias can't do this, after all, he is only a soldier in his own right, but things like expanding borders or negotiating have long gone beyond the military and are part of politics.

And Lintillot's performance also made the old general see his hope, she is steady, resolute, but also soft in the way things are done, have a clear judgment of the situation, and can react quickly. Whether on or off the field, military or political, she has almost done it perfectly. This was Nahias's reassurance—in fact, he didn't care about Lintillot's own natural strength. After all, ruling a country, guarding a country, developing a country, the power of gifted knights or anything is not considered at all.

And now the old general is already waiting, he hopes to be able to watch the Sith Empire at its most glorious and prosperous era in his lifetime, and then he can die in peace and hand over the country to future generations.

But what Nahias didn't expect was that at this time, the Knights of the End came out again.

In fact, many old men of the Sith Empire knew the history of those years, and they expressed their helplessness at being conquered so easily by a great power, but what they hated the most was the provocation of the Knights of the End - if it wasn't for their commander who made such a suggestion, the Sith would not have perished so quickly!

And now, they have jumped out again, blocking the path of the Sith Empire.

In fact, Yu Lianzhen didn't mean it, after all, under his leadership, there were not a hundred but eighty countries that were sniped by the Knights of the End, and there were many countries that still ended in a fiasco when they were sniped by the Knights of the End. But in Nahias's opinion, the Knights of the End were deliberate, they had destroyed their former homeland, and now they wanted to destroy them again, which made Nahias feel a rage that he hadn't felt in a long time.

And now, his anger is even stronger.

The reason is simple, just look at the armies standing outside the walls to understand where Nahias's anger comes from.

Yuren rode his shadow steed, standing leisurely in the center, while Messiah and Semiya summoned their mounts - but their position was somewhat strange, with Messiah riding a unicorn at the front of the line, and Semiya hanging at the end, even keeping some distance from the last soldier. The three of them formed a straight line that ran through the entire square military formation.

And at this moment, their soldiers are also on standby.

These 3,000 soldiers can be said to be the real descendants of Yu Lian's troops, their personnel composition is not complicated, and the most central part of the people are actually from the down-and-out nobles who followed Yu Lian after he went to the Red Fortress before, and they followed Yu Lian's side at the beginning, originally planning to give their family a good look and defend the country at the same time. However, at this time, things developed beyond the expectations of these young nobles, and after finally retreating to the twilight forest, they found themselves in a helpless situation, unable to get out, so they had no choice but to continue to work here, some of them had learned to command the army, and some of them had been trained in the army, so Offariel gave these nobles to Judy to train these future garrison officers. And now it looks like a qualified graduate.

The rest of the soldiers are from the group of refugees who were bought by Yuren before, which is what Twilight Forest can take at the moment, and can guarantee complete loyalty to its own troops.

At this moment, these officers from the ranks of petty nobles were standing nervously in their ranks, but their eyes were looking at the side of the three people -- because at this moment, there were three flags flying high on the sides of the three people.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge pennant with a purple background and gold trim with a sword and white rose, which is the symbol of the Knights of the End. Then there is the slightly smaller pennant on Messiah's side, with a black background and white trim, and a young girl bowing her head in prayer in the middle. And Seminya's flag is exactly the same as hers, and if anything, it's that the colors of the two are completely opposite and interchangeable.

This is their battle banner -- the twin goddesses of war.

For these officers, they all have some complicated feelings about attacking the red fortress, although they subconsciously think that with the strength of their own people, there is no way to capture the fortress, but who calls them a gifted knight? Since they are gifted knights, they naturally have some strange abilities, and now they can only expect this.

Compared with these, what made them even more stressed was Youlian's strange request -- he demanded that these officers must always ensure that these three military flags are flying in the air, that the flag is in the people, and that the flag must be there if the people are not there, and if the flag is not there...... Then there is no need for you people to live.

This really made everyone wonder who their enemies were.

However, they soon had no time to dwell on this issue, because at this moment, Yu Lian in the formation had already drawn his long sword, raised it high, and then pointed forward.

Offensive!

At the same time, Messiah raised the white umbrella in her hand, and as she moved, a white aura suddenly spread out from under her mount, and then enveloped the entire army.

And at the moment when they were shrouded in this white aura, everyone found that their state seemed to be a little different from before!

Their bodies are full of vitality and vitality, and even their bodies, which were originally a little tired from the long journey, have completely lost their feelings at the moment, and they are as light as feathers!

What is this ability?

Everyone was wondering, but they didn't have time to wonder, because at this moment the Messiah had already harnessed her unicorn around everyone, and then her whole body and the white unicorn turned into a lightning bolt and rushed straight forward!

Offensive!!

Seeing Messiah's movements, the soldiers also hurriedly followed, this is not only their task, after all, they are men and soldiers, let such a little girl rush head-on, and she is still behind, then whether it is a man or a soldier, the face will be gone.

In front of them at this moment was a tall city wall, and there were archers standing on it, and on the other hand, this group of people, although they had weapons in their hands, did not carry any siege equipment, so even if the other party did not send an arrow to let them run under the city wall, how could they attack it? Although the rear wall of the red fortress was weaker than the front, it was also a city wall and not a fence after all.

Although many people have this idea in their hearts, but at this moment they have no way to think about this problem anymore, they are soldiers, and it is their duty to obey orders, even if their superiors want them to die, they can only obey.

It's just that these soldiers were still a little hesitant in their hearts when they followed the charge of Messiah, how did they plan to get in?

This question also appeared in Nahias's heart, he had never fought with the Knights of the End, seeing their reckless way of fighting at this moment, it also made Nahias frown with some doubts, he had been guarding the border for so many years, he had seen any kind of fighting, but he had never seen this kind of direct rush up and send him to death in vain.

However, doubts are doubts, and Nahias, who is cautious, immediately gave an order to fight back!

At his command, a rain of arrows flew out of the walls and shot straight at the rushing army below.

As soon as Messiah rode at the moment, she naturally attracted the most firepower, but her ability as a gifted knight was also revealed at this moment, as a gifted knight, she only needed to activate the body protection aura, then these arrows were no different from ordinary drizzles.

However, just because Messiah can defend against it doesn't mean that the soldiers behind her can defend it too.

Nahias looked at the soldiers behind her again, and then he was slightly stunned.

The rain of arrows did hit the soldiers who were rushing straight ahead, and since they were small in number, and they were gathered together, they did not dodge the opponent's fire according to the regular scattered formation in military training, so in Nahias's opinion, after this round of shooting, the opponent's men could be reduced by at least two-thirds!

But soon, a scene that shocked him appeared -- the soldiers were indeed hit by arrows, but not one of them fell! Not a single one of them died, and not one of them was disturbed in any way, as if they were completely unaware of their wounds, and continued to run frantically forward.

And for these soldiers, they really didn't notice that they were hurt.

Almost everyone was mentally prepared for the overwhelming rain of arrows, but soon they realized that this preparation was unnecessary, because the situation was so strange.

Everyone clearly saw that a person's head was directly pierced by an arrow, and if it had been changed, he would have fallen down and become a corpse, but that person only crooked his steps, and then he actually reached out directly and pulled the arrow out of his head, and then wiped it casually, and threw it directly to the side, and then watched the blood hole on his forehead disappear quickly with a rapid movement visible to the naked eye, and then completely healed, as if he had not been injured at all.

And not only that, even those who were shot in the body, in the head, in the arms, in the thighs, they did not feel any pain at all, although these arrows were shot into their bodies, and it should be able to stop them from moving, but for these soldiers, this round of arrow rain seemed to be really just a drizzle, and the only thing they felt was that the arrow hit themselves lightly -- and then there was no more.

This discovery made all the soldiers immediately excited, they roared loudly and pulled arrows from their bodies, and ran forward as fast as they could, not that no one expressed doubts and puzzlements, but they also had their own explanations, they were led by a gifted knight! And the gifted knights were originally strange beings, and no one knew what they could do? And now, what is a soldier's most hopeful? Isn't it that he will not be injured, will not die, and will not even feel pain?

Thinking of this, these soldiers became more courageous and forward, but the soldiers of the Sith Empire began to appear in a state of confusion, they originally planned to easily reap their own results, but they were shocked to find that the other party seemed to be not human at all, and those arrows shot at them did not bring them any reaction! They even directly pulled the arrows from their own bodies? Holy grace is on them! Don't they feel pain?

In fact, there were even some soldiers who didn't have the intention of pulling out the arrows at all, they tried it casually at the beginning, and later found that even if the arrow pierced the knee, it didn't interfere with their movements at all, as if there was nothing stuck there at all, and they still moved dexterously, these people also gave up the plan to collect the arrows and continued to rush forward shouting, and their performance made the Sith soldiers who were defending the city wall feel a little painful...... It's a talent aura!

Nahias naturally also saw the white aura that spread out from under Messiah's body, but he didn't expect the ability of this aura to cheat so much, although Nahias's own aura ability is not weak, but in comparison, which side is stronger is almost a superior judgment.

It's not good, you have to defend it right away!

And in such a stunned moment, Messiah had already led her men to rush to the bottom of the city wall, although it was not known what way they would break through the wall, but Nahias was nervous at the moment, and then he immediately reached out to hold his weapon, intending to activate the aura.

But he was still a step slower.

At this moment, Semya, who had been hanging far behind, suddenly raised the black umbrella in her hand high, and with her movements, the pitch-black nightmare also raised its front body, and then, the bright light condensed from the tip of the pitch-black umbrella umbrella and converged, and then, the girl in the black dress held the umbrella hard and blasted forward.

“―――！”

The whistling black beam of light crossed the entire battlefield in an instant, flew over everyone's heads, and then slammed into the city walls.

And under this terrible blow, the hard city wall that was originally used for defense was now completely festering like a piece of tofu, turning into rubble and flying backwards.

Nahias's defense, was breached.
