Chapter 213: The Fortress Falls

readx;

The attack of the Sith Empire has begun!

Celt stood on the wall, his face serious, his hands clutching the edge of the wall, gritting his teeth, watching the enemy slowly advancing in the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At the moment, his heart is very complicated, and even Celt himself probably doesn't know what kind of feelings he feels.

The departure of the Knights of the End was the biggest blow to the entire fortress, and now the morale of both the Celts and his generals and soldiers was extremely low. And what makes them even more angry is that the Knights of the Last Dead are not treacherous, but their king, who has made moves and decisions that disappoint everyone.

It is precisely for this reason that there is an atmosphere of helplessness in the fortress at the moment -- the soldiers obviously have a great deal of resentment, and it is not difficult to understand that they are desperately fighting on the front line, but their own king is pulling their hind legs in the rear, and such a thing is probably unacceptable to anyone else.

However, the battle must still be fought, after all, it is not just the king that we want to protect.

Celt let out a long sigh and forced himself to pick himself up, glancing at the soldiers beside him, even though they were still weapons in hand, watching warily ahead. But the self-confidence of the first two days has been gone, and now in the entire fortress, many soldiers even come to fight with the idea of giving up on themselves, and in such a situation, it is really a problem to be able to exert combat effectiveness.

Originally, Celtic also hoped that the Sith Empire could give him a little time, but now it seems that the other party is not even willing to give this time.

There is no way back.

Thinking of this, Celtic "brushed" and drew his long sword.

"Preparing to attack !!"

He quickly gave the order, and then stared at the military formation in front of him, as he had received before, this was the most typical tactic of the Sith Empire -- Sidwig played the striker, Lintillot stabilized the center, and Karan was completely unknown. Three of the four gifted knights are here, and their threat is not clear.

So, let me see how powerful the talented knights are!

Thinking of this, Celtic licked his lips, and he carefully observed the opponent's troops, trying to detect the true intentions of the other party.

Unlike the previous operations, this time the Sith Empire did not adopt a full-scale formation, instead, they chose the tactics of central assembly. This puzzled Celtic. If the Sith Empire chooses such a tactic, then it means that they will have to fight the Red Fortress head-on, so the losses will naturally be large. So, what was the idea of the Sith Empire?

Celtic can't figure it out, at this moment, the front-line army of the Sith Empire has already entered the firing range, although I don't know what the other party is doing, but at this moment, Celt finally gave the order.

"Magic cannon fire!"

"Boom!"

With Celtic's order, the five magic cannons on the towers of the red fortress walls emitted a deafening roar at the same time. As they unleashed beams of great power, they swept forward in unison. This can be said to be the most conventional combat method for any country to conduct defensive warfare, as a magic technology that can rarely be used for large-scale use and equipment, although the magic cannon has a long cooldown time, too slow to fill, unable to move and shoot and other shortcomings, but as a weapon to defend the city, its long range and powerful power are enough to make up for these shortcomings. In history, the armies of no country could face the bombardment of the magic cannon without wavering, so in the general siege battle, they would choose to break through from the side, or choose to rush through the firing area of the magic cannon at the fastest speed and get close to the city wall.

Of course, this is the general siege method. But Celt didn't believe that the Sith in front of him would also use such a way of fighting, after all, their vanguard was Sidwig, and according to previous reports, she once led an army and fought with ease in front of the hundred magic cannons in the Night City, and there were only five here. But how did she dodge the bombardment of the magic cannon?

Celtic stared at the Sith army in front of him, and then, his eyes widened in surprise.

Just when the beams of the five magic cannons bombarded down, the originally dense formation of the Sisti team suddenly "exploded".

That's right, it looks like the formation is scattered after being attacked by the magic cannon. But in fact, this was not the case, in just a dozen seconds, those soldiers scattered at the fastest speed, leaving gaps one by one, and the five magic guide beams swept directly through these gaps, and they didn't hurt anyone at all!

What's going on?!

Celt's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't figure out how this strange scene in front of him came about. Do you rely on commands and orders? But commands and orders on the battlefield always take time, and how can such a large battlefield and an army of 40,000 people make such delicate orders and commands in the shortest possible time?

"Strongbowmen ready!Shoot!!"

Surprised to surprised, Celt did not forget his duty, he immediately gave the second order, which is also the focus of the defense of the city, using the magic cannon to give enough damage to the opponent, and when the opponent tries to rush through the threatening range of the magic cannon, the second layer of covered shooting bows and arrows will also give them a lot of damage. After all, once you want to pursue speed, then the defense will naturally become weak, so that even if these people rush under the city wall, they will be killed and wounded, and there is no threat.

After dodging the first round of the magic cannon design, Sidwig's legion did pick up speed, but instead of charging, they moved forward at a rapid pace. Obviously, the other party also knows that the cooldown time of the magic guide cannon is very long, as long as he can dodge the opponent's first round of attacks, then he has a lot of time to use it.

However, the truth is not so simple.

A dense rain of arrows burst out and flew towards the rapidly advancing enemy army. However, at this moment, Sidwig did another thing that surprised Celtic.

The army that had maintained a triangular formation and marched forward rapidly. At this moment, it was as if a sculpture made of a pile of sand had touched a transparent wall, and suddenly turned into a cloud of loose sand, if Sidwig had barely maintained a formation in the face of the attack of the magic cannon, then now it was completely disorganized, and there was no shaping at all, and those soldiers who were marching rapidly, some continued to move forward, some dodged backwards, and some scattered to the left and right, and suddenly looked at it, as if they had been completely beaten and had become chaotic。

At this moment, even on the city wall, there were a few cheers, after all, these soldiers are not recruits, but ruthless characters who have been rolling on the battlefield all year round, although they have no command skills, but they are also very familiar with what may happen on the battlefield. At this moment, seeing that Sidwig's troops had become chaotic, many people immediately became excited, it seems that this so-called four generals of heaven is nothing more than this, even the army can't be controlled, what kind of battle are they fighting?

However, unlike the soldiers, Celt was getting more and more nervous at this moment, and he instinctively sensed that a danger was approaching him. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see what formations and tactics were implied in the scattered army, they just really spread out without any regularity, and then seemed to be evading -- evading?

Thinking of this, Celt's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the battlefield again, and then, he couldn't help but gasp.

The earth is still the same land, the battlefield is still the same battlefield, and the enemy army is still the enemy army, but Celt finally realized at this moment that something is wrong!

There are no dead people!

After two rounds of attacks by magic cannons and bows and arrows, there were no black spots stopping in the Sisti team that was moving forward at this moment, each of them was moving, and no one was injured, whether it was a magic cannon or a bow and arrow, there was no way to cause them the slightest damage!

Thinking of this, Celt suddenly shuddered.

He finally remembered that the commander in front of him was not an ordinary person, she was one of the four generals of the Sith Empire, Sidwig.

Puppeteer Sidwig.

The title of every gifted knight has its own unique meaning, and the puppeteer is naturally the same. How could I forget such a common sense thing?

Isn't it just to treat soldiers like puppets?

In other words, in just two short rounds of attacks, Sidwig controlled all the soldiers under him at the same time, moving them to dodge all the attacks?

This kind of delusion is simply a dream, even Celt can't believe it for a while. But at this time, he finally got serious.

"The second round of magic cannon fires! All strong archers are ready to cooperate with the design!"

"General, the magic cannon hasn't completely cooled down yet.........

"I said shoot!!It's an order, go and !!"

"Yes!!"

A loud roar rang out again.

Once again, five white, powerful beams of light pierced the sky and shot at the Sith army, and this time, the dense rain of arrows that accompanied them also shot out again. For a moment, the entire sky seemed to be completely covered, and it scattered like a torrential rain.

But this time, the army of the Sith Empire suddenly moved!!

The army, which was originally scattered, suddenly began to rush forward rapidly, and their attack, which had no formation, regrouped into a triangular form when they were halfway through, and when they looked from above, it was as if this army of 40,000 people had a living whole, they quickly dispersed, and then quickly closed, rushing forward!

In general, the Legion Charge will not rush too fast to avoid disjointed front and rear problems. But now, when Sidwig's army of 40,000 men was like a poisonous snake that had been lurking in the grass, and finally chose to attack, the speed of the lightning was enough to surprise anyone.

"Free Fire!!Free Fire!!Prepare to Protect the Wall!!"

At this moment, Celtic's face was already extremely pale, and he finally confirmed his guess, it was indeed the girl who was fighting alone with an army of 40,000! This is simply terrible! How should he deal with it?

However, before Celt could think of a countermeasure, his eyes were dazzled by the brilliance of rumors in the distance of the horizon.

"The whole army is ready to !!"

In the rear, Lintillot raised her sword, and with her movements, the soldiers who slipped out in a row were also ready for battle, some of them raised their swords, some drew their longbows, and it looked as if they were about to attack immediately. But, after all, this is still the rear, are they going to launch an offensive from here?

It is impossible for ordinary people, but right now, the bodies and weapons of these soldiers have bloomed with dazzling soul brilliance.

High Swordsman.

30,000 high-ranking swordsmen.

"Attack!!"

Lintillot swung her long sword hard, and a white sword qi surged forward, and with her movements, tens of thousands of soul sword lights and arrows mixed with soul power pierced the sky and flew towards the red fortress.

Theoretically, a single high-level swordsman could indeed release such a long-range soul sword light, but they rarely used it, after all, it rarely made sense in battle. Coming, the distance will also weaken the power, not to mention radiating from such a distance, when it reaches the fortress, I am afraid it is only equivalent to the power of a small magic bullet.

However, at the moment, the tens of thousands of attacks condensed, and their power has far surpassed the level of the magic guide cannon.

"Bang!!bang!!!"

One after another, the soul sword light hit the hard city wall, leaving gaps and traces one after another, and many soldiers were directly shot by the sword light and arrows wrapped in soul power, and lost their lives.

"Holy grace is above! How can this be beaten!!"

"The left flank, the left flank is under serious attack, Lord General, please instruct!!Please instruct !!"

"The wall on the west side of the right wing is being damaged, General, we need reinforcements!!"

"Boom !!"

At the same time as the soldiers of the Red Fortress were in chaos, the soul sword light in the rear burst out again, different from the previous aimless scattering, this time, they were concentrated on the tower where the five magic cannons were placed.

Although these towers were reinforced, the power of tens of thousands of high-ranking swordsmen was not negligible, and soon, three towers shook, shattered, and then collapsed. And the remaining two are also crumbling, and there is no way to attack again.

"Damn it, calm down, calm down!!"

Celtic's eyes were already red, and he shouted loudly, ordering, trying to continue directing the battle. But in fact, until now, the defenders of the West Kingdom have not reacted to what is happening.

Attack? Where did the attack come from? How could there be an attack? What is going on? What is going on?

And just when these soldiers were still being beaten, Sidwig and her 40,000 army, who had lost their containment, were already in the city!

"It's going to be bad!"

Looking at the enemy army who had rushed to his feet at some point, Celtic was taken aback, and he hurriedly pulled the adjutant next to him and roared loudly.

"Immediately order the soldiers in the rear to prepare for defense! Remember to defend the city gate! Defend to the death."

Celt hadn't finished his words, and at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose up and howled towards the Red Fortress. And even Celt closed his eyes at this moment and stretched out his hand in front of him -- and then he heard a muffled sound under his feet.

When Celt lowered his head and swept it under his feet again, his blood froze.

The heavy metal gates, which were supposed to be heavily guarded, flew in front of Celtic to the rear, deformed, shattered along with the obstacles behind them, and then slammed into the houses inside the fortress, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At this moment, Celt was already dead.

"Well, that's it. ”

Sidwig stood quietly at the back of the line, staring at the soldiers who were pouring towards the city gate in front of him, and snorted coldly. The girl is still dressed in the way she usually says. But, unlike before, this time at the girl's feet, a huge metal spider is carrying her duty. The six sharp metal claws, as well as the compound eyes made of rubies that shimmer with bright red brilliance, and the silvery-white shiny body, give people a chilling sense of fear. At this moment, Sidwig was adjusting her aura, and she fought with precision in every soldier's movements. For ordinary people, this is a task that cannot be accomplished in a dream. But for this girl, it was as ordinary and convenient as eating and drinking -- at this moment, 40,000 soldiers, each of them was Sidway, but not as powerful as her.

It was so relaxing.

As he gave orders to his soldiers, Sidwig snorted coldly. This kind of battle without any challenges, she is already a little tired. The opponent's resistance is only futile, the outcome of the battle is decided before it begins, and in such a situation it is so difficult to lose -- unless, unless, some invisible factor intervenes.

Thinking of this, Sidwig couldn't help but think of her previous failure again, that pair of girls, even if she burst out with her natural power, she had no way to perceive the true strength of the other party, and in terms of skills, she and the other party were even worse, only such an opponent was interesting. And this kind of waste, which can't even resist well, I don't have much interest.

Thinking of this, Sidwig couldn't help but glance back, and then smiled slightly.

So, my sister, will you go to war with them?

The Knights of the End, that must be an interesting opponent.
