Thinking of the actions of those palace guard knights just now, Xia Lin hurriedly turned around, saw them beside him, and hurriedly asked:

"Are you alright?"

The four palace guard knights who rushed over to protect Xia Lin just now also came back to their senses and opened their eyes, they also saw this broken scene, their expressions were full of shock, and when they heard Xia Lin's inquiry, they carefully felt their state, shook their heads and replied:

"Your Excellency Xia Lin, we are not injured, but I am afraid that this place can no longer be defended, Your Excellency Xia Lin, please follow us to retreat to the Dragon Sleeping Palace first!"

Following the words of the palace guard knights, Xia Lin also looked at the nearly thirty-meter-long gap in the palace wall of the Longmian Palace and the bodies of hundreds of new army soldiers distributed on it, and couldn't help frowning, it turned out that there was only one palace gate that was almost ten meters wide, and it could still be held with the cooperation of the new army soldiers and the palace guards stationed here.

But now that the gap has been extended to thirty meters, and the new army has lost its foothold to strike from a high position, and has lost more than 200 men who were holding on to the city walls in the aftermath of the attack just now, I am afraid that there is no way to stop the attack of the 2nd Guards Division, which has nearly 10,000 people, for too long.

"No, the situation inside the Longmian Palace is still unclear now, we can't retreat yet, you guys go to other sections of the city wall to organize some new army soldiers to come here to block the rebel attack for a while, and I'll let Yin Rand organize the new army soldiers to go up first!"

Xia Lin frowned and said, and immediately set out to inform the princess Dorothea and the captain of the Ron Brigade of the battle situation at the southeast gate through the teleportation technique, so that they could come to support as soon as possible.

After receiving the news that Prince Fairmod had staged a coup d'état and that Princess Dorosia had taken control of the Aran Hall, he immediately realized that the key point of the current situation was here, and hurriedly quickened his pace to find Lai Yin Rand, who was originally in charge of command behind the palace gate.

"Deputy Head Xia Lin, with such a big gap, and our numbers are at a disadvantage, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for long."

When Yin Rand heard Xia Lin's decision, he frowned and persuaded him.

"If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, we have about 1,300 people here, and there are four surviving artillery pieces, and the 2nd Infantry Battalion will come to support us soon, so we can hold it for a while.

I have just received the news that the Empress Dorothea is in control, and as long as we repel the 2nd Guards Division this time, victory is in our hands!"

Xia Lin firmly ordered, after communicating with the Empress Dorothea through the teleportation technique on the way over just now, he had seen the current situation clearly.

The power of the conservatives in the court is not as strong as that of the enlightened faction, what they have to do now is to put an end to the support of the conservative external forces, completely establish the victory, and see that the dawn of victory is just around the corner, for which Xia Lin is willing to accept whatever the price is paid.

"If that's the case, then I don't have any opinion."

Unexpectedly, although there were many changes in the plan, the situation could gradually turn to their side, Lai Yin immediately began to organize people to garrison the ruins of the palace wall, and they could already see the first group of rebel soldiers who rushed to the top of the ruins of the palace wall like a mountain bag.

The surviving palace guard knights immediately rushed up to them and began to fight, but the thirty-meter-wide gap was full of places that needed to be guarded, and soon the dozens of palace guard knights, who were already undernumbered, fell into a bitter battle.

With Lai Yin's order, the artillery began to exert its power again after adjusting its parameters, and the soldiers of the new army and the accompanying chamber of commerce armed forces also followed the pace of those palace guard knights under the organization of Quixiuan and Fatlan, and began to block the enemy's advance.

However, no matter how unbearable the Guards Division is, it is also the main force composed of the descendants of various noble families of the conservative faction, and they and their own soldiers are at least close to the level of knights or above, and they are not capable of fighting against the knights of the palace guards, but they are more than capable of dealing with the armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce or the soldiers of the New Army who are inferior to them at medium and close range.

The mercenaries in the chamber of commerce's armed forces and the new army soldiers who had not had time to distance themselves were slashed by these well-armed Guards soldiers on the ruins, the fiery projectiles and cold swords reflected each other, and the hot blood overflowed from the fresh flesh along the wounds of swords or bullets.

It quickly became icy in the cold wind of the winter night.

In this white-knuckle battle that Xia Lin never wanted to see, the soldiers of the New Army that he had cultivated with great difficulty quickly lost their young and hopeful lives.

"Defense! Defense! Keep your distance! Cover your teammates! Prioritize the enemy's mage!"

On the battlefield, the squad leader of the 1311 class, Cooper, shouted loudly and gave orders, his voice trembled faintly, and the sound of gunfire like fried beans and thunderous cannons rang out one after another.

Wells' mind was blank as he had never experienced such a fierce battle, and he just crouched mechanically near the rubble bunker near Cooper, forming a small triangular formation with Cooper and Rhodes, constantly pulling the trigger on the black-armored men on the battlefield.

The rifle in his hand was almost visible at a distance where the white frost on the enemy's eyebrows and the white breath exhaled from his mouth could easily penetrate the well-textured armor.

Just as Wells had once again struck two knight lords whom he had treated with respect before, removed a magazine from his canvas belt, and trembled in his right hand as he prepared to reload the murderous weapon in his hand, he faintly felt a sound of wind passing by his cheeks, followed by a muffled grunt behind him.

His eyes widened and he looked back, and saw that Cooper, who had been giving the order just a moment ago, had a long black arrow stuck in his chest, which looked like a poisonous snake.

Seeing Wells' gaze, Cowper looked down at his chest in confusion, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and then collapsed limply on the rubble.

"Exam...... Cowper!"

Wells' eyes widened, his teeth chattering, and he pounced on Cooper's side to lift his supple, heavy body.

On weekdays, he didn't get along well with this serious squad leader, and he didn't know why he did it, maybe it was the stimulation of witnessing someone he knew dying right in front of him that made him subconsciously make him do this.

"Wells!

」

Looking at Cooper's lifeless face, Wells's mind went blank, as if he had forgotten that he was on the battlefield.

At that moment, a childish shout rang out beside Wells, and then he felt a figure pounce on him, and he involuntarily rolled down the slope with it.

When Wells, who had been smashed, came back to his senses because of the pain that was everywhere on his body, he saw a young and familiar face appear in front of his eyes:

"Rhodes, what are you doing?!"

Wells endured the pain in his body, got up and rubbed his forehead and complained, only to find that Rhodes's vest lying on the ruins was also stuck with a slender straight black arrow like the Cowper squad leader, his expression was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and his lips moved to say something, but he stopped.

"Luo ...... Rhodes?!"

After a long pause, Wells realized what had just happened, and he staggered over to Rhodes, looked at the young man's immature face and clear eyes, and knelt feebly on the ruins.
