Archmage Rose stopped summoning the spell and hurried towards the conning tower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He looked very anxious, because the Imperial Cavalry had already passed through the dense network of elements, and they were close to the city gates!

They would quickly storm the gates, the bronze gates were guarded by a huge stake and less than a hundred guards, and if they rushed into the city, they would have no more strength to stop them. They may also light fires at the city's drains, and the inexperienced guards will only panic.

The most terrifying thing is that the infantry units in the rear also began to break through the encirclement of the time demons, moving slowly forward, and the enemy's trebuchets would soon be in position, allowing the casters to be attacked and disturbed.

Once the siege engines also approached the city gates, the battle for the defense of Paliva would be almost over.

When he arrived, he found that Rudolph, the mage of Deep Valley City, was also standing in front of the gray-robed warlock, he looked very weak, and it was obvious that the attrition war with the caster of the Sanctuary had left him with no mental power.

"Mr. Diggs, we only have sixty-five mages left, and most of them are running out of mental power, and they can no longer release mid-level spells. Rudolph said worriedly.

"If you encounter the spellcasters of the Sanctuary, are you sure that you can defeat them?" Odin said in a calm voice, not at all in a hurry.

"No—not right now, we can't even stop their attacks, they still have the mental power to cast the Holy Spirit Guard - it's a high-level hybrid elemental mimicry spell, and we can't defeat them. Rudolph paled: "Most of us have reached the limit. ”

Odin looked at him calmly and said, "Then, if you are given time to rest and adjust, and when the casters of the Sanctuary are severely damaged and scattered, and the three of you are a team and attack them, are you sure that you will win?"

Rudolph frowned suspiciously: "Of course you can...... However, now that the situation is critical, how can we still have time to rest and adjust?"

Odin smiled and said, "Stop attacking the Sanctuary now, and concentrate on dealing with the Knights rushing forward, as well as the huge infantry behind them - this is just a moving meat target for you, and consume them as much as possible while preserving your own mental power." ”

Rudolph was even more suspicious: "The infantry troops? Why? Can they rush to the front?"

Odin didn't answer him, and turned to Archmage Rose, "Rose, I know why you're in such a hurry. Your people won't be able to summon more Iron Time Demons, summons may be wiped out along with the Holy Spirit Guardian Circle, and the Imperial army will inevitably rush down the city, are you worried about that?"

Rose did not speak, and was silent in agreement.

Odin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You and Bassoon should still have the strength to summon the more powerful Time Demons, but when they disappear, there will be nothing to stop the army, right?"

Rose, who was accustomed to Odin's keen sense of human hearts, did not deny it, but frowned and said, "I'm worried. ”

Odin said very lightly: "Summon, let the Imperial army become a pile of dead people - you know, we are not afraid of any ordinary army except the Sanctuary Army." ”

Ross was all worried: "But, in the end, they will break through the city defenses......"

Odin's answer was unwavering: "It's not strange, but at that time, it's just a bunch of rats with heavy casualties and no will to fight." Okay, with that said, now is not the time for you to stand and worry, go back to the battlefield. ”

Ross and Rudolph were full of doubts, they could not understand Odin's words—did he mean that he had known that the city of Paliva would be lost, and that all the efforts of all were only to inflict maximum damage on the enemy's army.

So why did he promise victory?

Odin ignored their doubts, but walked over to the walls and stood beside Carter, joining him as the guards went about their lives, some desperately releasing fireballs, while others prepared to burst into flames of oil drums and falling rocks.

It was a quarter of an hour before Carter asked coldly, "What will happen next?"

Odin looked at him calmly, his black eyes like a deep pool: "If the city gate is breached, you and your people, do not put up any resistance, let alone try to sneak attack the Imperial army, you must enter the underground passage as fast as possible and reach the vassal's territory - this is what we planned before the battle." ”

"The apostate will follow you and keep you safe. After a pause, Odin said word for word.

Carter clenched his fists tightly, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes turned bloodshot: "You mean, we're going to fail?"

Odin smiled as he had been—an incomprehensible smile that seemed to be in control: "No, I'll stay here and bring you the victory you promised, as long as you give it your all now." ”

Carter's lips trembled, and complex emotions surged like great waves, blocking his thinking.

He knew that Odin would do what he said, and he was angry with him—for he had never told himself that the war would be muddy, or even defeated, that all their efforts would be in vain, and that he and his people would be on the run.

But on the other hand, the warlock completely considered the safety of the Paliwa people, and even let the precious armed forces stay with them, and in a critical situation, the Paliwa people were the first to be spared, which made Carter's heart swell a little.

Carter knew that the Warlock wouldn't say anything more if he asked—as he had done several times before, and each time, Odin would lead them to a dead end, and then eventually give them a surprising result.

Without saying anything more, he bowed silently to the warlock, and led the guards against the Imperial cavalry, which was preparing to attack the city.

Carter watched as the Imperial Knights approached little by little, their slogans sounded like rolling thunder in the four fields, and the shouts of "Long live the Empire, kill the traitors" continued.

Fearful of the Iron Time Demon behind them, the cavalry rushed forward like crazy, countless fireballs rolling down around them, knocking the Iron Knight off his horse, but more of them still rushed to the city gates.

"Paliva will win, freedom will win!" the guards shouted slogans and held the walls.

"Trebuchet!" Carter commanded in a loud voice, and the huge stone block crossed the city wall and landed on top of the Imperial cavalry, the surging ranks were scattered by the falling stones, and countless knights fell from their horses in the impact, but the cavalry in the rear rushed forward like ants.

"Unleash the fireball!" the young lord ordered the guards to continue casting spells, and the civilian warriors standing in front did their best to make the flames fall like a torrential rain under the walls! )
