The raging fire in the civilian area of Tekken Castle completely separated Adela's army from the army of the Emilio family on the mountain, and the civilians who have lived at the foot of the mountain for generations watched their homes burn out in the fire, and their hearts were full of hatred and fear, although they hated the army of the Saranal family for destroying their lives, but they were also afraid that once the Ironfist Castle was lost, they and their families would become their slaves and live that life was worse than death.

Vivien, who returned to the mountains with Ryan's help, keenly seized the opportunity, and with her constant efforts, the thousands of people who fled to the mountains slowly accepted their new lords, and many young people took the initiative to ask to join the army and drive the invaders from their homes.

It was precisely because of the fire under the mountain that the passage for Adela's attack was also blocked, which gave Vivien plenty of time to boost morale, otherwise if Adela attacked directly, the mountain might collapse at the touch of a button. The captain Amitji ordered the house to be set on fire when he was chasing Vivien, originally intended to demoralize the enemy, but instead gave the other party a chance to breathe, which can be regarded as self-defeating.

The fire burned for a whole day and a night, and then it slowly weakened, and the fire originally started to burn from the front of the Iron Fist Castle, so when the wooden houses on the front burned out, the fire naturally weakened, but in other directions, the fire was still getting stronger and stronger, and the momentum was amazing.

There are about 10,000 people living in the civilian area at the foot of Tekken Castle, and thanks to the efforts of Vivien and others, thousands of people living near the passage up and down the mountain of Tekken Castle have successfully escaped to the mountain, but the people on the side and back are not so lucky, they either died in the flames, or they escaped by luck, dragging their children and daughters to flee to other places.

Adela's army is not large, all of them did not care about those who fled, Adela's action is a military adventure, if you can capture the Iron Fist Castle and destroy the rule of the Emilio family, then the entire Emilio family will naturally have nowhere to escape, but if the attack fails, even if they capture a few thousand slaves, they will not be able to successfully bring back their territory, not to mention, the consumption of this food alone is enough to give Adela a headache.

Therefore, Adela's ultimate goal was to capture Tekken Castle, so at noon the next day, Adela's army cleared a passage through the ruins and pressed the army to the foot of Tekken Castle, which also made the entire Battle of Tekken Castle enter the second stage.

For the past day and night, Vivien on the mountain has been boosting morale, and Adela has not been idle, waiting for her follow-up troops at dawn the next day. This follow-up force, consisting of only 300 men, was specially arranged by Vera just in case, and they brought Adela ample supplies, both soldiers and food, and this follow-up force also included a small baggage battalion with materials to form the catapults.

Throughout the morning, Adra's reinforcements set up three stone-throwing carts for her, and although it was a plain place, it was difficult to get stone bullets, but as long as the wood stained with fire oil was firmly tied, it could have terrible consequences, a few stone bullets may not be able to destroy the strong city walls, but the raging fire is enough to break the enemy's will to resist.

Therefore, when Adra's army pushed the catapult down the hill, the warriors and civilians on the hill suddenly caused a commotion, they had just witnessed the destruction of their homeland, but they did not think that the castle where they had temporarily sheltered was facing the same situation, and now even the castle that had never been conquered was going to follow in the footsteps of that miserable aftermath?

When Adela's battle flag was raised high, the commotion had completely turned into fear, and everyone's hearts were cold, and many timid people cried out in fright on the spot, and Vivien's morale that had been stimulated all night showed signs of collapse, and she herself cried out: "Crazy, this woman is completely crazy!"

Ryan, who was standing beside Vivien, asked in a strange tone, "It's just a battle flag, how can it have such a big impact?"

Vivi quieted down and whispered in Ryan's ear, "That's not just a simple battle flag, it has another meaning, it means a bloody ending. ”

Hearing this, Ryan turned his attention to the Adela battle flag at the foot of the mountain, this battle flag kept fluttering in the wind, embroidered with the family crest of the Saranal family, and a shield in the middle, which probably showed that the Saranal family was the status of His Majesty Fernando's subordinates back then, as for several other patterns around this shield, Ryan only barely knew that the blooming rose in the most prominent position represented the leader of the army was Adra, and the other Ryan didn't understand what this meant, but what puzzled Ryan the most was that the entire flag was smeared with a large area of blood。

"The blood...... Ryan asked softly.

Vivien turned her head to Ryan and said with a wry smile, "Once the besieging side raises this blood-smeared battle flag, it means that after capturing the entire city, it will definitely slaughter the city, and there will definitely be no living holes." ”

Ryan was stunned, she didn't expect Adela to do such a desperate thing, there are thousands of lives on this mountain, has she completely lost her humanity?

"I think it's probably because of Vera's corpse. Vivien smiled bitterly: "When I was in the midst of the fire, those idiots actually hung Vera's body in the most conspicuous position on the top of the mountain, they may want to stop Adela's attack, but this is not to tell Adela, there is no one you care about on this mountain, you can attack casually." I'm even wondering if they're spies for other clans!"

"As soon as the Scarlet Rose Battle Banner is released, we have no way out. Vivien spoke again: "Death in battle, or tragic death after defeat, there is no third choice. ”

"Then ......," Ryan had just opened his mouth to ask where Vera's body was, and Vivien immediately replied, "When I found out, it was yesterday evening, and I ordered him to be properly buried." It's not that I'm afraid of Adela's revenge, it's that I don't want to take out my anger on a dead person. It's just that I didn't expect Adela to become so crazy after receiving the news of her brother's death in battle. ”

"Toot!" came a long horn sound from the bottom of the mountain, which was the signal of the start of the attack, so Ryan and Vivien immediately stopped talking and stared intently at the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, Adela's three catapults had already entered the firing range, and the warrior pushing the catapult fixed the catapult and began to stir the winch to pull the catapult rod down, this kind of catapult belonged to the simplest kind, their performance was far inferior to the one that Ryan saw in the Thor Fortress, but it was still no problem to project two or three hundred meters, at least this was outside the range of the archers on the mountain.
