Chapter 454: Lightning Raid!
Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai had just gone out when he saw Kirti appear in front of him.
"Lord Duanmu, I have a very important matter to report to you."
"Oh? What is the matter, Gilty? β
Looking at the petite and cute girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also smiled and asked. He actually likes Kirti, after all, in Duanmuhuai's opinion, this is a very simple and lovely girlβββ well, very simple.
Duanmu Huai is not stupid, Qierdi shows herself in front of him every day, she looks quite active, if Duanmu Huai doesn't know her thoughts, then it's a ghost. However, because Qierti was too direct, it was more interesting in Duanmu Huai's opinion. It's like a kitten begging for food in front of you every day, the attitude and goal are very consistent, at least it's much better than those TV series women who are smiling on the surface and stabbing on the back.
In Duanmuhuai's view, Qierdi is actually somewhat similar to Zhenjiling in some places, and they both hope to be recognized by others and feel the value of their existence. It's just that Zhen Jiling is more confident in this regard, so he is more proactive. Kirti, on the other hand, is a bit more tactful.
But in any case, Kirti is still measured, at least people know how to come up with real materials, not just talk nonsense.
Well, from this point of view, for Qierti's self-motivation, Duanmu Huai still has to give a thumbs up.
"That's right, I think there's something wrong with that Miss Lucien."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Who? β
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment.
"It's the slave girl we met in the square earlier."
"Ah, it's her......... What's wrong with her? β
Duanmu Huai thought for a while, and then remembered who the woman Qierdi was referring to.
"Yes, I did a full check-up on her after that, and then I found out......... Her situation is unusual. β
"Unusual?"
"Yes, although she is wearing the clothes of a low-class poor person on the outside, the underwear inside is quite high-end, and it is not like an ordinary girl can afford to wear it. And she also has a good figure and skin, which is completely out of line with the dress of a low-class pauper. β
At this, Kirti frowned.
"And I found out that she didn't know how to do chores at all, whether it was laundry, cooking, or even making tea, and not only that, but she also knew some healing magic......... Ordinary poor people don't learn magic, and those who can learn magic at this age are basically nobles. β
In addition to this, Kirti also stated that Lucien's skin color and her body are completely asymmetrical. Herman did have a lot of brown-skinned women, but those women were tempered by the wind and the sun and labor. Therefore, it is impossible for a young lady like Lucien, who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, to tan her skin brown, so she suspects that the other party may have used some kind of magic to hide her true appearance.
After listening to Kirti's description, Duanmu Huai understood what she meant.
"So you mean, that Lucien is not a pauper, but a young lady?"
"Yes........."
"That's probably the eldest lady who ran away from home, it's not surprising, it's not impossible for the eldest lady who doesn't care about the world to disguise herself and go out of the house, and then be deceived by slave traders."
Duanmu Huai doesn't care much about this, it's just a noble lady, she can do whatever she wants, and she is not the emperor.
"So can I transfer her to the Guard? There aren't many people who can heal magic, and we need a support .........."
"No problem."
Duanmu Huai nodded, he now understood why Kirti took the initiative to mention Lucien to himself, after all, in Kirti's opinion, this slave girl has too many doubts, but on the other hand, she can use healing magic, and she is also a rare talent in the current team, so it is natural to use it, but you can't make your own decisions. In case this Lucien is really a spy sent by the enemy, then it will obviously be too late to talk about it after something happens.
That's why she reported this matter to Duanmu Huai in advance, which can be regarded as a preventive shot.
After saying this, Kirti's face suddenly turned grim.
"In addition, the pro-guard team is all ready, ready to go!"
"Good."
Hearing Qierdi's answer, Duanmu Huai also nodded.
"Let's do it tonight!"
After discussion in the middle of the night last night, everyone had already finalized the battle plan. Considering that the Titan's goal was too big and would attract unnecessary attention when dispatched, Duanmu Huai finally decided that while it was nightfall, he would take the Night Guard and several other troops on the Valkyrie gunboat and directly attack the Bonn Fortress at night!
Anyway, a medieval fortress stronghold doesn't even have anti-air defense, so if you don't break through, you can get it directly?
Therefore, Duanmu Huai's idea was to first raid and occupy the Bonn fortress, and then dispatch the Imperial Titans to cooperate. The only problem is that the troops of the 1st and 2nd armies are not far from the Bonn fortress at the moment, and once they find out that the Bonn fortress is lost, they will definitely find a way to recapture it. When the time comes, they will face a fierce siege.
Well, it's not a big deal, though.
As long as the support is until the follow-up troops arrive, then the threat will naturally be lifted.
This is also the reason why Kirti will personally talk to Duanmu Huai about Lucian, after all, she can also think that the intensity of this battle is definitely not small, and one more healing assistance will naturally help one more point. But after all, the other side is unknown, in case something goes wrong in such an important battle......... But fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't take it to heart, and Qierti was relieved.
Soon, night fell, and when the moon rose, Duanmu Huai took the others in the Valkyrie gunboat and headed in the direction of the Bonn fortress.
Duanmu Huai led five night guards, plus Suzume and Kanami to form a team. The Lisas Guards led by Kirti were a team, the Manalia and Dragonmen forces led by Ann and Grua were another team, and finally the Magical Guards led by Uruzer from Seth.
It can be said that it is just two teams in close combat, and two teams in distance.
"If only we had such advanced vehicles in Lisas."
Sitting on the Valkyrie gunboat, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window, Kirti couldn't help but sigh. They have been patrolling around in this gunboat for the past few days, and it must be said that after overcoming the initial fear of high altitudes, Kierty has become more and more fond of these flying iron frames, which are not only fast, but also fly high, and can see anything on the ground clearly, and can also carry out air cover strikes when needed.........
It's a pity, I heard that even Seth hasn't researched anything like that, Lisas......... Well, I guess there's still work to be done.
But in any case, this is at least a direction.
The Bonn fortress in the middle of the night is naturally brightly lit, and soldiers can be seen patrolling the thick city walls. This is also normal, after all, after Duanmu Huai and the Fourth Army occupied the city, many people thought that they would march to the Bonn fortress next and take it down. Therefore, during this time, the alert level of the Bonn fortress was also raised a lot.
It's just a pity that they probably never thought that the enemy would come from heaven.
"Do it!"
Duanmu Huai gave the order, only to see the Valkyrie gunboat hatch suspended in the night sky open, and then Suzume and Kanami leaped out of it one after the other, sliding down the rope like ghosts.
For ninjas, it's simply what they do best. I saw that the figure of the bell girl disappeared in mid-air, and then I saw several soldiers looking out on the side of the city wall tilt their heads directly and collapsed to the ground. On the other side, Kanami also silently landed from the air like a kitten, came behind the guard soldier with a ninja knife in his hand, and cut his throat with a knife.
The Bonn fortress is typically loose inside and tight on the outside, after all, no one thinks that the enemy will suddenly appear inside the fortress, so the outside is heavily guarded, but the inside is very relaxed. In addition, Suzume and Kanami are both extraordinaryβββ well, Kana Mei almost overturned several times, but fortunately, Suzume was there to help her solve the problem easily.
Soon, the soldiers on the outer walls of the fortress were swept away by the two of them, and then Suzume took out the terminal and pressed the button. Then four Valkyrie gunboats descended from the sky and landed on the walls of the fortress.
Duanmu Huai, who was wearing armor and holding a heavy hammer, strode out of it, glanced at the dead fortress, and then coldly gave an order.
"Do it!!"
For the soldiers in the Bonn fortress, the night was clearly a nightmare.
When the gate was smashed open and the huge black figure entered the barracks, they didn't even have time to get up from the bed and put on their pants, and then they saw a tall giant in terrifying armor wielding a war hammer and sweeping it over, directly crushing the soldiers who didn't have time to get up into meat sauce.
"Don't give them a chance to merge! Don't be soft! β
On the other side, Kirti also led the Lisas Guards and launched an attack on the Bonn defenders. She swung her sword, her body agile as it flashed through the exchange of two warriors, and at the same time, with a swing of the sword in her hand, it pierced directly into the heart of an enemy. Then, the next moment, I saw Kirti turn gracefully as if dancing, dodging the attack from behind, and then separating the opponent's throat with a backhand sword.
Even on the battlefield, to be elegant, this is Kierty's credo.
Duanmu Huai and Kirti soldiers were divided into two routes, respectively responsible for the attack headquarters and armory, as for the others naturally did not follow, Ann and Guria led the combined forces of Manalia and the Dragons, blocking the Herman defenders of Bonn in the camp, and Uruzer led Seth's magic army to occupy the city wall, but anyone who dared to leave would be immediately hit by a storm from them.
"Ignition! Hurry up and ignite!! β
After all, the Herman soldiers were quite experienced in combat, and the initial surprise attack did cause them confusion, but it didn't take long for them to calm down and start to respond.
Although I don't know what means the other party has used, but at present, the Bonn fortress has been infiltrated by the other party, and it can't be stopped! In this case, all they had to do was immediately tell the other troops the news of the fall of the Bonn fortress. Since they can't rush out at the moment, then ......... Just light a fire and burn the entire fortress on fire!
Soon, I saw a few soldiers breaking through the encirclement under the cover of other colleagues, running directly to the grain and grass storehouse, holding torches high in their hands and throwing them at the grain and grass in front of them!
"Liquid orbs!"
However, before their torches left their hands, they saw that with the shouting, water balls appeared out of thin air, falling from the sky and directly smashing on these soldiers, and then the cold wind howled, and a dragon girl with silver wings raised her hand, directly freezing all the soldiers in front of her into ice. On the other side, the dragon girl with long golden hair and wings holding the staff in her hand suddenly waved the staff in her hand, and soon the magic light flashed, instantly shattering those soldiers to pieces.
"What the hell is going on?"
At this moment, the commander of the Bonn fortress had naturally woken up, and looking through the window and looking at the situation outside, he was also anxious. The commander did not expect that this group of rebels would be so bold as to dare to directly attack the fortressβββ but then again, how on earth did they get in? Could it be that there are internal demons in our army?
"Your Excellency!!"
Just as the commander was in doubt, suddenly, a soldier covered in blood rushed into the room.
"We can't stop it! The enemy is too strong..............."
"Nonsense!!"
Hearing the return, the fortress commander couldn't wait to jump up directly.
"Didn't you say that there were less than a hundred? There are 3,000 soldiers in the fortress, how can it not be stopped? β
"But half of these intruders are magicians! Many people were blocked in the corridors and burned alive! And the Iron Giants, who don't look like humans at all, and any attacks have no effect on them. Neither with swords nor with magic can damage them! My lord, we can't hold βββββ! β
However, before the soldier could finish his words, he saw an arm suddenly pierce through the hard stone wall and hit him directly. With a scream, the soldier was sent flying and slammed into the wall. Immediately afterwards, I saw Duanmu Huai directly break through the stone wall and strode in.
Looking at the pale and trembling man in front of him, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, grabbed his head, and lifted him up.
"You're the commander?"
"Yes............... It's ............... me."
Looking at the tall giant in front of him, the commander's face turned pale and trembled.
"So, are you willing to surrender? Or to die? β
"I, I......... I give up!! β
At this moment, the commander of the fortress made a decisive decision.
