There are five levels of laser distress signals on the borders of the Empire, and the signal emitted by Fort Hogaka is the highest level, which can be seen throughout the northwest of the Empire.

The orcs are attacking the entire northwest defense line, and everyone knows that the strength of the whole empire has almost been gathered, and there are not many idle troops, so it is easy not to send a signal for help.

Unless it is a desperate situation, Fort Hogaka will soon be untenable.

Filia now has two choices, one is to lead the army to continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle, and by the way, prepare for the conquest of Cartagena; The second is to lead the army north to support Fort Hogaca, but it is very likely that it will be too late, so he can only go behind the city wall to plug the gap and prevent the orc army from wreaking havoc in the empire.

As is usually the case, the second option is definitely more appropriate. Since ancient times, defending the territory has taken precedence over invasion, and the safety of the people is far more important than expanding the results of the war.

But now it's not normal, and by now, Filia knows that the main direction of attack of the Orc Alliance is definitely not Fort Hofra, Fort Hogaka is in an emergency, and Fort Hosiran is not necessarily safe.

If the other two main forts can't defend themselves, the only remaining army of the Nalan Empire is the army she led to defend Fort Hofra. Other words...... If she wants to counterattack Cartagena and destroy the Gate of the Holy Descent, she is the only one who can do it in the worst case.

Whether she could do it herself was another matter, but since the situation was the case, Filia had to keep that hope alive.

"Filia, gather your army immediately and send north to support! Be sure to keep the orcs out of the Holker City defenses like they did last time! Matilda said eagerly.

"Nope." Filia shook her head and stared in the direction of Cartagena beyond the city walls, "I don't have time for the army to support north. ”

"What do you mean?" Matilda wondered.

"My brother has already led the main force of the Knights of the Burning Sun to the north, I can't draw another large army to the north, my goal is Cartagena."

Matilda is not an old-fashioned and stubborn person, and after a little thought, she understands what Filia is thinking, but guarding the empire is her mission, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.

Matilda sighed and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out." Filia took Xiaoguang out of her armor and stuffed it into Matilda's hand, "Although leading the army north to defend can temporarily ensure the safety of the empire's territory, I believe that the alien demons who are regarded as great enemies by the long-established demon hunter organization must be more terrifying than the orcs." ”

"If the gate of the Holy Descent is completely opened, the Empire will bear the brunt of the Alien Demon Descending into the world, and the possibility of destruction is even greater."

"But with Fort Hofra's army alone, it is almost impossible to capture Cartagena." Matilda pinched her eyebrows, looking very headache.

"It's man-made, and it's not hopeless to work hard." Filia smiled and turned to look at the Empress in the black dress, "Are you right, Her Majesty Queen Rosenia?" ”

Rosnia looked Filia up and down seriously, and exclaimed, "It's worthy of being the girl who will be with Rogge in the future, but I'm too worried." ”

Filia was very happy with the way Rosenia admired her, and many people talked about how Rog matched her, and only Rosenia matched her with Rogge.

"You're here to tell me to lead the army west?"

"Well, the reason is as you say. Filia, I have personally experienced the power of the alien demons, and if the gate of the Holy Descent is fully opened, the current world of Heth will be destroyed. Go to Cartagena, I'll be with you. ”

Although Filia knew that Rosnia wouldn't say much about what she saw in the future, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?" ”

Rosenia put a finger on her red lips, the mysterious light in her eyes flowing, "Whatever happens, Philia, don't give up." ”

Philia looked at Rosnia for a few seconds, and with a hint of clarity in her heart, she smiled lightly, "I won't give up." ”

"Good." Rosnia nodded, her gaze turned to Matilda, and when she saw her stuffing Xiaoguang into her arms, the corners of her lips rose, "Matilda, you should go north, I wish you good luck in martial arts." ”

Matilda bowed, "Xiaoya, I'll go to Fort Hosiran, if Charles is okay, call him to Fort Hogaka to support, don't worry too much about your father's side." Rest assured, we will go to Cartagena to meet you before the gates of the Holy Descent are fully opened, and the matter of saving the empire and saving the world will not be all on you alone. ”

"Let's go, if you see Rogge, tell him I miss him."

Without waiting for Filia to answer, Matilda burst into the air and snatched a dragon and flew towards Fort Hosiran.

Filia looked at the tall back and said to herself, "If you want to say it yourself, I won't pass on to you." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The fifth prince Chakra trotted all the way over, panting slightly and said loudly: "The enemy army is fleeing, shall we chase it?" ”

"What do you think?" Philia asked rhetorically.

"I think......" Chakra unconsciously stood up straight, like a big-headed recruit in front of the general.

"Don't be nervous, just say how you feel." Rosnia encouraged.

There was a big sister who encouraged him so much, Chakra put his mind at ease, closed his eyes and let his intuition drift, and after a moment he opened his eyes and said, "I think I should chase." ”

"Well, I personally led the army in pursuit." Filia put on her gloves and patted Chakra on the shoulder, "Chakra, from now on, you are the commander-in-chief of Fort Hofra's defense, and you decide everything about the defense line. I have only one request, make sure to feel it before giving the order. ”

"Got it! No, yes! Chakra said excitedly.

He was not excited to be the commander-in-chief of the defensive line, but Philia, who had always disliked him, was finally willing to pat him on the shoulder to encourage him, although he deliberately put on gloves before shooting. Wind

"Your Majesty, let's go too." Filia said.

Rosenia raised her hand and waved lightly, and a spatial door appeared in an instant, and the two stepped in, and in an instant, they came to the military formation under the city.

Filia summoned the flaming horse and gave orders to the legion commanders, and Rosenia came to the back of a fortress-type cantolla and made a cup of tea.

Soon, the army was activated, and the fleeing orc army was pursued in an orderly manner, and the middle-armored knights of the Knights of the Burning Sun immediately left the battle and followed the main force of the Knights.

The Celestial Terazara Force remained, continuing to serve as the most powerful weapon in Filia's hands.

……

Fort Hosiland.

The battle was in full swing here, with both sides evenly matched and there was no one-sided defeat on the Hofra Castle side.

Emperor Charles and Grull, the Great Chief of the Orc Alliance, faced off from afar, and the two had fought each other several times, but neither could help anyone.

In fact, if Gruulken forcibly broke the city at the cost of injury, he could really smash a large gap in the city wall, but Gruul definitely didn't want to be injured at this time.

Except for these two strongest saint-level on both sides, there is no other saint-level combat power on the battlefield, so strength and tactics have become the main factors that determine the direction of the war.

It happened that at these two points, the two sides were half-hearted, so they fell into a scorching battle situation.

Fort Hosiran was the first of the three main forts to be uprooted, not because the commanders on the Imperial side were incompetent, but because the Orc Alliance had invested too many behemoths on the Hosiran front.

The charge of hundreds of stone-horned beasts and thunder-toothed beasts shocked the audience, and there had never been such a scene in the past.

Until now, this group of giant beasts has not been cleaned up, and even more than half of them are left. There is no way, the vitality of the giant beasts is very strong, and the damage of the mocking dragon bed crossbow and trebuchet alone is not enough to stop their charge, and once they rush under the city wall, due to the problem of attack angle, the ability to concentrate fire is greatly reduced, and the lethality is even less sufficient.

Not to mention that the giant beasts are guarded by orc warriors around and on their backs, and if they want to rely on the strong to kill them, they have to weigh whether they can come back.

The giant beast is the best stepping stone for the orc warriors to attack the city, the stonehorned beast directly hits the city wall, making gaps, and the "thin" thunder tooth beast is piled under the city wall, acting as a siege ladder for the orc warriors.

The fiercest fighting in Fort Hosiran was on the city walls and at the mouth of the broken wall, and since the battle, many sections of the city wall have changed hands several times, and more and more walls have been destroyed.

But Fort Hosiran was able to hold on, not only because Charles, the backbone of the entire country, stood at the head of the city, but also because the main force guarding the castle was the Knights of the Dragon.

The Knights of the Dilong, as the name suggests, is the Knights of the Dilong family, so it is also called the Royal Knights.

If the Knights of the Burning Sun are the first in the cavalry rankings, the Knights of the Dilong are the first in the overall rankings.

It is the largest knight order in the Nalan Empire, and even in the entire Heth world, with a total of one million people, and the warriors are all elites, very well-equipped, and very powerful.

The composition of the Knights of the Dragon includes an infantry regiment, a mage regiment, a cavalry regiment, and even an artillery regiment, which is very rare in the empire.

It can be said that as long as it is a combat class that the Nalan Empire has, it can be found in the Dilong Knights.

Such a strong team, if it weren't for the enemy's behemoth, it would not have been suppressed to such a point.

What the empire lacks most is giant beasts, so when Charles first saw the tarragula, he was even more excited than seeing his third lady.

However, the repression here ended when Fort Hogaka called for help.

Grull is not stupid, he understands that the war in Fort Hosiran seems to have the upper hand of the Orc Alliance, but the Knights of the Dragon are not injured at all, and it is impossible to completely break through the defense line, even if all the giant beasts and troops brought with him are exhausted.

So since Fort Hogaka has made progress, he is not in a hurry here, and the precious giant beast naturally has other uses besides attacking the city, and it should be retained.

Grull let out a high-pitched battle cry, and the orc warriors fighting at the front heard it, roared in response, and then ...... Withdrew from the city wall, lined up a relatively neat battle formation, and sang the orc war song.

The war song was hard to hear, and the human warriors listened to it in their ears, as if they were being pointed at the door of their heads and mocked, and they clenched their weapons in anger and rushed out of the city to fight to the death after waiting for an order.

But Charles will not let the brave warrior die in vain, in terms of numbers, the orc alliance has the advantage on the one side, and in terms of energy, the enemy also has the advantage. If it is really a death battle, it will be a miserable victory if it can be won, a very miserable kind.

So he waved his fist, and the generals obeyed the order, and ordered the soldiers to rest in batches and repair the walls for a possible second siege.

Grull watched it all and stared at Charles with a cruel smile on his face.

What could be more painful than watching a sworn enemy who can only do something anxious, but can't get out of support because of his presence?

It's so cool, it's cooler than winning against him!

Grull laughed out loud, but didn't notice that the corners of Charles's mouth were slightly hooked, not as depressed and powerless as he thought.
