Chapter 52: The Battle of Despair

Conley had just listened to the survivors of the Scout Team recount the horrors they had seen in the woods not long ago and what had happened to them, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He couldn't keep his composure anymore and yelled.

"You bastard, why are everyone else dead and only you come back alive! You must have been bought by Ilea, who came back to spread lies and wanted to shake the morale of the army, and to bring someone to drag him down and put him in a dungeon!! ”

Claudio on the side was also shocked, but because it wasn't his person who died, he reacted slightly better than Conley.

He felt that the scout wasn't lying, because he could have made up a story that sounded more believable, rather than saying that someone would have their heads popping open as they walked, as he did now, which was too bizarre.

But Claudio didn't say anything, and let the scout be dragged out.

Because now, no matter whether what the scout said is true or false, it can only be dealt with as a fake, otherwise there is no need to wait for the start of the fight, and the morale of the army will be gone.

When the scout was taken away, the room fell silent.

No one spoke, and the oppressive atmosphere lasted for a long time before Allister said, "What do we do now?" ”

Conley's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We will go out of the city tomorrow and fight with them, so I don't believe that there is really a god standing behind them, and even if there is, I will defeat it." ”

However, when he finished speaking, he found that no one agreed.

Claudio lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and Allister looked away after making eye contact with him.

Conley's voice froze, "You two, you don't want to escape, do you?" ”

Claudio coughed, "I'm not trying to escape, I just think we should reconsider our ...... this time."

Claudio was interrupted by Conley before he could finish his sentence, "We don't need to reconsider anything, we have already said that we will fight Ilea to the death here, do you want to break those sacred oaths?" ”

"You're just trying to pull us into the water because you've lost all your money." Allister muttered softly.

Conley showed a cruel smile, he no longer concealed it, and simply admitted, "That's right, I just forced you to bet your capital too." If you are not willing to keep the agreement, then I will now order my army to attack your men, and you will all die together. ”

"Are you crazy?" Allister's face changed when he heard this.

Claudio also hurriedly played a round at this time, "We didn't say that we were going to withdraw our troops. ”

"By giving up the Antler Gate, Ilea and her army of the Western Frontiers will be able to drive straight in, and I may be the first to suffer, but you two will definitely not be able to escape." Conley's voice was hoarse.

And what really moved Allister and Claudio was Conley's last sentence.

"I know you're afraid of the Double-Leavers, of Merlin and the week behind him, but for every day you delay, the power of that foreign god will become stronger.

"It can send down a curse to defeat Solomon and his army of wings, it can rain down heavenly fire to kill my dragon, then after a while, maybe you will only stay in your own castle, and you will suddenly die."

Claudio sighed, "You're right, we can't split at this time. ”

"But how can we defeat Irea? You've seen her methods, even the dragons can't stop it, what can we do. ”

Allister's emotions were also a little agitated, "I need to find Priest Cornelia, only she can deal with Merlin and Saturday." ”

"That [beep] priest of yours abandoned you early on," Conley sneered, "she didn't come to Elk Valley with you. ”

"No, no, no, there is a little misunderstanding between us, but she will not leave me, and the goddess of life will not leave me."

At this time, Claudio also interjected, "You shouldn't trust that woman who is full of lies, think about what happened to your father." ”

"Father wasn't killed by Cornelia! It was Heloise, the slut who poisoned his wine, and wanted to blame me. ”

"Two ...... I'm not here to hear some royal secrets, can we focus on the war at hand? Conley impatiently interrupted the brothers' argument.

"Although we lost the two dragons and those Wing Clan warriors, we still have the advantage in numbers, and we didn't bring dragons on the other side this time, so we still have the upper hand in a head-to-head duel."

Conley didn't know if he was comforting the two allies next to him, or if he was comforting himself, but it didn't work very well.

Both Claudio and Allister frowned.

The main reason is that the opponent's strange methods this time are too many to speculate with common sense.

Conley was still talking, but no one was listening.

After a while, Claudio said, "Let's stay in the city." ”

Allister immediately chimed in, "Yes, the Antlers Gate is a well-known fortified city, and if it weren't for the spies lurking at Tristan's side in advance, we wouldn't have been able to take it down so easily.

"In that case, there is no reason for us to abandon this fortified city and fight Ilea outside."

Conley was just too excited after hearing the bad news, but now he was a little sober, and felt that what the two of them said made sense.

Their original plan was to force Ilea to fight a decisive battle under the city, and Ilea arrived as promised.

In this case, there is no need for them to run out, and the side that has the city to defend always has the advantage in the war...... bar.

It's obviously just the simplest military common sense, but the three of them are a little uncertain now, which is not a good sign.

Yet, as Conley said, there was no way back. If they lose this time, it is only a matter of time before the three of them are destroyed.

"As long as we can hold the Antler Gate, we still have a chance to win." Claudio Road.

After the discussion was over, the three of them did not go to sleep, and began to arrange the city defenses, and just below the city, Conley heard another bad news.

He had heard that some of the WingClan warriors who had gone on the night raid with Lanita had come back alive, but the WingClan warriors seemed to have been completely frightened.

They flew over the Antlers Gate, but they didn't land at all, and flew straight east, as if something was chasing them from behind.

And this scene was seen by many defenders in the city, and it soon spread among the army, causing another large uproar.

Conley wanted to repeat his old trick, catch the "rumor-mongers" and throw them into the dungeon, but this time there were too many "rumor-mongers" to catch them.
