Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The lighthouse was snatched after the enemy boarded the 6, and the beacon signal was extinguished after less than two hours, but the enemy's fleet was too large, and Valais believed that Humphreys and they would not really break in so confused, and he also trusted that Cattrick would not forget about their existence because he did not specifically instruct him.

It was already the fifth day of the siege, and although the living materials in the city were hoarded enough to sustain everyone for half a year due to Humphreys's mission, the number of the enemy's two legions was also unexpectedly large, and they still didn't understand what they were waiting for.

Most of the villagers outside the city hid in the city when the alarm bell was remembered, but it was a pity that their homes and a large number of property could not be protected by the city wall in the same way, and were completely destroyed by the soldiers of the Island Alliance who were better than the golden jackals.

Ironically, this was the only thing that was still "good", because the lord of the city, Count Pratt, after seeing the sight through the telescope, stopped pestering himself to open the city gate and surrender to the legion with the banner of the Great Prince's domain outside the north gate.

Wake up on the table at the temporary office of the city gate, first use the telescope to observe the enemy's movements have become a habit, this time if the enemy still does not look like a siege, Valais is ready to go home to take a bath, in bed to replenish the sleep of the past few days, otherwise he himself does not know whether he can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, at the same time, the number of enemies, also makes him worry about the safety of the reinforcements, after all, there are small towns and a few small lords that are not as good as Brion in the vicinity, and may not even be able to make up half of the army.

With the support of the fleet behind them, the enemy at the east gate was as lax as ever. There was no suspicious movement, so there was no need to look at the south gate, which had only one battalion with them, Valles put down his binoculars, and with a sigh of relief, he walked towards the north gate, but before he had taken ten steps, he heard a sound that frightened him, and then received a military report from a panicked herald who had not yet arrived: the enemy had attacked the city, and the enemy at the north gate had begun to attack the city, more than sixty ballistas and trebuchets. There are also ~ two magic crystal cannons.

――――

Outside the north gate, a middle-aged man dressed in the armor of the commander of the Phinashu Legion was chatting happily with the envoy of the Island Alliance beside him, but if you listen carefully, you will see that all he is talking about is flattering nonsense, not at all like what a commander with military power should say; Although the false smile on his face has not faded, the temperament of the whole person is no longer the same.

"General~"

"Go, give orders to the battalions, only to make a superficial feint, and not to enter the city even a single step. Let those guys who tear down the walls take their time, and make sure to level this city for me. ”

"Yes. ”

After summoning a herald and giving a puzzling order, the middle-aged man's face revealed a hint of gloom. The safest position was chosen to be garrisoned against the Diana River, in order not to run into the army of Phinathius. And this little trick of the allies was expected long before they came here, and they had reached an agreement with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, that is, they could not want, and absolutely must not fall into the hands of another ally, the Celestial Empire.

It's just that in this way, it greatly relieves Brion's pressure in a certain way.

When Valais rushed to the north gate to personally direct the battle, Soropp, who had received the latest battle report, frowned, under the puzzled gaze of the generals. Some of them left a sentence of "Angus, you are ruthless enough", and ordered the fleet to use local materials, use long-range attacks to help demolish the city together, and after not allowing anyone to attack privately, they drove everyone away, and enjoyed the sunshine and sea of late spring with their wives and concubines.

――――

When the person who delivered the information met Humphreys and the others, it was noon on the third day after the siege began, and with the vision of his left eye, it was far away. Lu Chen saw the ruined city of Brion, although he didn't regard him as his own city at all, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Then, while boarding the largest captured ship, which had been renamed the Behemoth as its flagship, Lu Chen heard even worse news: on the night after the siege began, the lord of Brion, Count Pratt, could not withstand the enemy's attack. Regardless of the safety of the city, the design captured Valais and sacrificed it to Angus's man, Palmer, the former commander of the 23rd Legion of the Kingdom, in exchange for his own safety and that of his family.

"Is this true?, why hasn't Brion been occupied yet?" Lu Chen asked in disbelief, he couldn't care about hiding his eyesight, but fortunately, no one would care about this at the moment.

"I led people to infiltrate the enemy camp to find out, and many soldiers were complaining because they couldn't go into the city to loot, it should be true, but as for the reason, I don't know. Mark replied with a look of self-reproach, not only because of Valles' situation, but also because of his own uselessness at the critical moment.

"Did you find out where he was being held?" Seeing Mark shake his head, Lu Chen continued to ask, "What about Craig, didn't you inform him of the situation here?"

"We've been to him when we came back, and we've worked together to settle a fleet of island alliances, and now, Lord Craig should be in the northern seas to prevent the Imperial fleet from attacking south. Lord Duke, do you want to send someone to retrieve Lady Evelyn, the last time I heard the news, it was that they were in Canterella, not far from here. After Humphreys replied, he couldn't help but ask more.

"No, there are too many of the other party, and the ammunition supply of the Flying Whale can't keep up, and it will go up in time as soon as it comes and goes, and the people in the city will definitely not be able to wait for that time...... I'm going to get Valais out tonight, whatever the enemy's aims, and if this trend continues, Brion will be in complete ruins the day after tomorrow at the latest. Looking at the various markings on the map, Lu Chen chose to retreat westward, as that was the direction where he was most likely to encounter his own two legions.

It's just that after rescuing Valles and taking him to Brion City, how to get in touch with Humphreys here, let them cooperate with the quiet breakthrough of the whole city, and make it difficult for Lu Chen. After all, how long it will take to rescue Valais, and how much time it will take for the people in the city to prepare for a breakthrough, there is no line, and even if Phoebican who came with him helps, he will not have the time to calm down and use his mind to transmit the sound for thousands of miles.

The sun is rapidly tilting to the west, the sound of the enemy's long-range weapons has no sign of stopping, the tall city wall is already in ruins, looking at the crumbling city of Brion, as if Lu Chen, who can hear the wails of the people, can only reluctantly secretly take out the crystal that can communicate with the god of knowledge.
