[Windy City Halsim is a pearl of the Desert of Death. 】

Some bards thought that this sentence was not true, and that the word "only" should be added before the word "one" to be accurate.

Helplessly, the person who said this sentence once held the supreme power of the Rose Kingdom in his hands, and the so-called singers of freedom could only speak "freely" to express their approval.

But at this moment, this pearl standing on the wind and sand is in a precarious state under the endless beast tide attack, and the crumbling city wall is under the attack of wave after wave of beast tide, and the tragedy of the city destruction and death may occur at any time.

Halsim

Outside the city

In a hidden canyon

"Morgans, report on the battle."

In the invisible tent, a young general in a blue military uniform wiped his face and turned to look at the half-kneeling guards at the door.

His long soft golden hair had long been coagulated into strands of dried black blood at this moment, and the scarf that was originally woven by the nobles with velvet was also soaked with an unknown brown-green liquid, and his whole body was soaked in blood, like a demon who had just crawled out of the pool of blood.

Only the two one-handed swords about 1.7 meters long on his waist were still brand new, and even the hilts were not stained with the slightest stain.

In the face of the general's inquiry, the guards who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to slack off, and quickly spoke:

"Since you killed the mutated lion-type monster in the Beast Tide, the Beast Tide has temporarily stopped attacking, and the Scout has discovered that there is a small civil strife in the Beast Tide"

"The soldiers and nobles who fled from the Orc Kingdom have been scattered and assigned to the Blue Legion squad, and they are currently cleaning up the remaining demonic beasts that have been infiltrated in the city."

The guards looked down at the ground at the general's feet as they lowered their heads to report the latest battle situation.

Following the spreading blood, he could vaguely see the powerful legion's face now stained with blood.

"Is that blood the enemy's, or?"

Even though he knew that he shouldn't guess at will, the guards who hadn't rested for three days and three nights couldn't help but think about this question in their hearts.

A month ago, he would not have believed that the leader of the Blue Legion, who had just been promoted to a high-level legend and was famous throughout Cullen, was known as the nobleman of the nobles, and the magic sword Rare Rex would have such an embarrassing day.

[Captain Rare is the strongest, and he is an invincible existence]

This is the creed in the hearts of all the Blue Legionmen, and it is also their faith.

But the raging tide of beasts and the mighty Archaeopteryx told them: NO, this idea is wrong.

Riel, who rarely heard the good news, frowned slightly.

But then comes a feeling of exhaustion that sweeps over the body.

In fact, in the collapsed orc kingdom, there was far more than one beast royal family in Kishu who heard the call of blood atavism.

But only Kisho himself, because of his hatred for Tyke, chose to lead the beast tide around the barrier and go straight to the Capach line.

And what about the other Archaeopteryx?

Riel didn't know, he only knew that in the face of these "mutant monsters" that suddenly appeared and were far stronger than ordinary legends, he could only keep swinging his two long swords and slash all the enemies who broke through the defense line outside of Halsim.

Due to the soft geology of the Death Desert, no matter how hard you try, the walls of Halsim can only be maintained at about a dozen meters.

Not to mention blocking the Archaeopteryx at this height, even ordinary fourth-order demonic beasts with a flexible point can see nothing, and they can jump over the "low" city wall with one jump.

Because of this, the soldiers of the Blue Legion can only choose to block the huge beast tide from the city walls, instead of relying on the walls to continuously consume the opponent's living forces like the Karpache Line.

Take a deep breath

Riel closed his eyes, then quickly opened them.

He couldn't rest yet, even if there was not much magic left in his body, there were bursts of hypnotic echoes in the spiritual sea

"Where's the reinforcements over there, old man? Haven't arrived yet? ”

Hearing this, the guards lowered their heads even deeper:

"We have sent the soldiers with the fastest legs and feet, and at the same time released dozens of flying demonic beasts to report to the royal capital, but His Majesty the King's side"

"So, still don't you believe it?"

"Yes"

Shaking his head, Riel looked up at the map of the Rose Kingdom on his desk.

Half-ringing, he pouted:

"Shh

His voice was so small that no matter how much the guards listened, they could only hear the first modal word.

A moment later

A calm-faced Riel stepped out of the tent.

"Inform all the Blue Legionnaires to prepare to retreat with three days' worth of supplies."

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers were immediately shocked.

You must know that the current Halsim is not only the Blue Legion stationed here, but also tens of millions of people of the Rose Kingdom who live here!

If the Blue Legion, the main force that resisted the beast tide, retreated, could it be that only those stragglers and exiles of the orc kingdom could resist the beast tide?

It is conceivable that once that happens, this pearl of the desert will be completely destroyed in an instant.

"Your Majesty, is this a little too anxious, we should have a fight."

One of the deputy corps commanders hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and questioned it.

"The power of a fight?"

But before he could finish speaking, Riel interrupted him.

Glancing at the shiny armor in front of him, the deputy legion commander from a certain duke's mansion, Riel mercilessly stretched out his finger and pointed at the other party's helmet, and said with a gloomy face:

"For a whole month, now 2/3 of the soldiers of the entire Blue Legion have been killed in battle, and the rest of the soldiers are all injured, on the other hand, because the group of demonic beasts has the entire orc kingdom as a supply ground for soldiers, they have been fighting for nearly a month, and the number has increased instead of decreasing."

"You said that you won't let you retreat, do you want my soldiers to die in vain!?"

"Come, tell me, how will this battle be fought!?"

Speaking of the back, he almost roared out the last sentence

Perhaps it was because the force on his fingers was so heavy that the deputy commander of the airborne army thirty years ago fell directly to the ground with a pale face and couldn't get up for a long time.

Riel glanced disdainfully at the "adjutant" in front of him, and then ignored the guy.

He turned to look at the silent soldiers in front of him, and said calmly:

"I know that a lot of people were born here, grew up here, and even all their relatives are in the city."

"But it's war."

Rare suddenly pulled out the one-handed sword from his waist, plunged it into the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"War kills, whether it's you or me!"

"And your vocation is to obey orders, even if."

The usually popular speech has not received any response at the moment.

Riel couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the soldiers of the Blue Legion who were silent in front of him.

He didn't know how painful it was to abandon his loved ones.

But they have been holding on for a month, and there has been no reply from the royal capital, and the old man himself may have given up on this place.

Without follow-up supplies, fighting here is just a lone soldier fighting trapped beasts, even if he is a high-level legend, if he does not withdraw from the battlefield in time, he will be consumed alive by the endless beast tide sooner or later.

Rather than die like this, it is better to retreat directly, and try to retain as much living force as possible to resist the Kapache Line, at least, where the same forces can achieve better results.

But Riel couldn't explain all of this to them, and could only force it with military orders.

Because once the soldiers who know the truth know that they have become outcasts, I am afraid that the entire Blue Legion may mutiny because of the king's actions, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

looked at the soldiers who were still hesitating in front of them, and the beast tide outside who didn't know when they would attack again.

Rare knew he had to cut through the mess.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

He roared suddenly.

After waking everyone up, Riel prepares to quickly issue a series of orders to evacuate Halsim, trying to evacuate as quickly as possible.

As for how many soldiers will leave at their command, it's up to them to choose.

But before he could speak.

"Boom."

"Lord Riel."

A hurried sound, accompanied by the roar of the earth, suddenly sounded outside the protective circle.

At the edge of the protective circle, a herald was waving his arms desperately and running towards the station.

"Oh no, could it be that the beast tide has started to attack the city again?!"

Feeling the tremor of the earth, Riel's face also changed, and he secretly said that it was not good in his heart.

"Damn, it's time to do it."

Before Riel could recover his senses, the messenger ran in front of him, gasping violently and shouting excitedly:

"My lord, reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"

"What!?"

Outside the protective circle

Vivien, who was wearing only a platinum robe, floated in the air, her long silver-white hair fluttering slowly.

Feeling the terrifying aura of the thousands of demonic beasts gathered together at the end of her sight, which was not much different from that of Kixiu, Vivien blinked, and her cute little head turned slightly sideways:

"Legendary. Corps? (End of chapter)
