Odin's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was flat but unmistakable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info He could certainly see Carter Larson's doubts, like a pile of gold in front of him, and no one could give it up.

"It's not for you to give up on victory, but for now, I'm completely sure that I will win this war at the lowest cost. Just trust me, and you will be able to keep your people safe and the city of Paliwa intact. ”

"But...... Here we go...... Who's going to deal with these intruders?" Carter still couldn't understand.

"Have you forgotten the circles in the city? I can activate them alone. Odin replied without hesitation.

Carter apparently thought the idea was ridiculous, one person, against an army?

Ignoring his doubts, Odin continued, "As I said before - as a lord, as a leader, you must know what you are carrying. As you should know, I will never break my promises. And now, everyone can retreat unharmed and without paying a heavy price for the war. ”

"Do you want these thousand people to face the elemental attacks of the Steel Blade and the Spellcaster?"

"Who can guarantee that the gray-robed warlock doesn't have ulterior motives?" the young lord certainly wouldn't say this, he was grateful to the warlock, but he was jealous. Until now, Carter still couldn't see his purpose, for the sake of an unknown heir to a city-state, no one would be so noble, taking such a big risk.

Victory was at hand, and Carter was unwilling to obey this ridiculous order.

At that moment, a loud bang came from under the walls - the power of the gods' wrath was like an arc of light as thick as a tree trunk falling on the body of the steel troll, and the steaming mist enveloped most of the walls, and the people only inhaled the scorched smoke, but could not see everything in front of them.

A dazzling white light in the mist continued to expand, like countless iron-making furnaces gathered together, emitting light and heat, and the molten iron splashed everywhere, like a torrential rain, and there was a scream under the white mist, which was the wailing of the people who were penetrated by the molten iron.

Countless purple arcs of light scurried around in the mist, and any obstacle caused the tiny orbs to explode in a blinding light that melted everything.

The wail of the Iron Giant came from the white mist, like a resonance from the Endless Abyss, which lasted for a long time.

As the arc receded, the steel demon was reduced to a slender skeleton, half of its head had been blown off, and a third of its body remained, leaving only one foot to stand.

It still tried to lift its severed arm, but it lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground with a bang, molten iron still oozing from the gap in its body.

Eventually, it melted and turned back into a pile of silver-gray iron slag, covering the open space beneath its feet in a thick layer.

Seeing this as an opportunity from the gods, Elio frantically ordered his men to charge forward the moment the Iron Giant fell!

"Steady the siege engines!Forward!Rush in!God bless us!" Under the commander's order, another group of Imperial soldiers carried heavy siege equipment and advanced slowly, this time without the time demon to stop them, and the spell attacks were sparse, they reached the front line with almost no obstacles.

Next, another Iron Giant also disappeared under the attack of the Acolyte, and the Imperial Army pounced on them in droves like carrion-eating wild dogs.

The copper-clad giant wood began to pound against the gates, and the sound of the impact was like a death knell, making Carter's scalp tense for a while.

Odin's expression remained unchanged, and he only whispered to the young lord, "If you want to stick to your ideas, let your soldiers destroy them all." ”

"Well, they can't unleash the Holy Fire Curse, the enemy is close at hand, and you can't do anything about it. Time is running out, and I will let the mages of the deep valley cover your retreat. Odin urged.

Carter looked at the situation in front of him, the Imperial army, which had been wailing loudly just a moment ago, was now like a hungry beast, storming the city gates in a frenzy, the siege ladders were rebuilt, and the armored soldiers armed with swords began to climb the walls in an endless stream.

However, the civilian soldiers were all pale, and the five days of offensive and defensive battles had exhausted their mental strength, and they were even out of breath when they walked, let alone think of carrying their swords to fight the enemy naked.

The young lord was still hesitating, and with a loud bang, a steel demon fell under the elemental attack.

Ross and Bassoon had reached their limit, they couldn't even stand, and the black scars all over their bodies were terrifying.

Carter saw that the two people who swore to follow him were still burning their lives bit by bit for this war, and even when it came to a critical moment, he was unwilling to give up. He began to wonder if he had made the right choice.

"You have to understand what is best for someone who swears allegiance as a leader. As I said, my proposal may seem ridiculous, but it is not risky, because I know power much more than yours. Odin saw the young lord's vacillation and guided him step by step.

"I still need time to set up the circle, and the mages of Deep Valley City will assist me in the final preparations and cover your retreat. Retreat to Iron Mountain first, and it is best to convince your vassals to prepare to pursue the fleeing Imperial army in the jungle in a day's time. ”

Does this sound even more ridiculous - the Imperial army is on the city, but everyone retreats outside the city, waiting for the soldiers to rout on their own, and then hunting them down?

However, there was no time for Carter to continue thinking, as the Iron Giants guarding the walls fell one after another, and now only one Iron Demon remained.

The spell elemental gnawed at it, and it was sluggish, wailing lowly, as if it was about to turn into crumbs. And the people of the renegade - there is a real need to find a safe place for them to recuperate. At all times, this spellcasting force is a very valuable force.

Carter had made all the assumptions before the war began, he didn't even think he would win, and now he was just in one of those bad situations. He had several plans in place to get people evacuated safely.

Indeed, as the warlock said, it is very irrational to directly confront the heavily armed Imperial army after losing its combat effectiveness. However, at this moment, it is still very difficult for him to give up honor and hatred.

He glanced at the feeble guards on the walls, unable to imagine the corpses of Paliva strewn across the field, and it was his bastard uncle and the apostate elder who knelt before him and swore allegiance to him.

He didn't want to see two men who were still standing firm for this war facing the butcher's knives of the Imperial Army.

Don't make unnecessary sacrifices to those who follow you. Although he intellectually felt that the warlock's promise could not be fulfilled, somewhere in his heart, there was still a faint hope that he would bring about a miracle - after all, this young man of unknown origin had accomplished too many impossible things from exile to the present.
