The majestic Lion King flag heralds the arrival of Nacchini.

The Snowdon flag is a lion, but unlike other countries, each king can make minor changes to it. For example, the "Golden Lion" of the Founding King Bilret Snowton, the "Raging Lion" of Leo Snowton, the father of King Nacini, and King Nacini's own "Thunder Lion".

The mane sheathed out, each strand twisted into the shape of lightning. The black flag waved in the wind, and the lion with a golden body and a silver mane raised its head and roared, as if it was about to come to life.

With King Nacini came 8,000 knights of the "Golden Hibiscus". In order to ensure the speed of the march, he did not choose the Praetorian Guard, but brought a quarter of this ace knight order as an escort.

Albert did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let the adjutant take over the command, and he himself led the generals who did not have military orders to meet them. With the arrival of Wang Qi, the morale of the siege troops was also suddenly boosted, shouting and killing everywhere, and they desperately climbed the city to fight.

The dense city wall defense line has really been broken out of a few gaps. But after all, without a skilled warrior in charge, the gap cannot be transformed into a forward position. The Xilin defenders first concentrated the fire of catapults and bed crossbows to cut off the opponent's follow-up troops. Then under the cover of the archers, the heavily shielded soldiers advanced from both sides, step by step. The space of the soldiers of the Western Route Army became smaller and smaller, and they could only resist stubbornly, and in the end, they were picked off by four-meter spears one by one.

There is advance but no retreat, there is death and no life, victory or defeat is only in an instant, this is the cruelty of offensive and defensive warfare.

Looking at the soldiers in Snowdon's uniform from afar, constantly falling from the city walls, King Nacini stopped and couldn't help frowning. The cities of Ian, especially the county towns, are surprisingly strong. This is also before the expedition. The only thing he didn't expect.

"The last will greet the king. Ebert strode over and said loudly. The sonorous sound of the collision of armor pieces sounded, and he kowtowed to his chest with the generals behind him. In times of war, military generals in armor do not have to perform full salutes, which is a special rule in aristocratic etiquette.

"Generals. "King Nacini asked, turning and dismounting, as he walked forward, "has Count Allegri arrived?"

"He arrived yesterday. Albert's heart sank, and he wondered why the king valued Allegri so much, and whether his own neglect would lead to any consequences.

"Call him. King Nacini did not stop, and commanded casually.

The group climbed the wooden platform. Observing the battle in the distance. The soldiers on the platform came up to salute, and Albert regained his command, and after asking the king for instructions, he issued several orders in succession.

The siege moved into the second phase, the feint troops began to withdraw, and the main attack point quickly gathered forces and tried to break through. Don't let too many soldiers stay on the walls at the same time. It is the key to guarding against the secret art of the Holy See.

"Within three days, the city must be broken. King Nacini stood in front of the railing, his tone firm, "You leave two divisions to sweep the tail, and most of them continue to march southeast, and within a week, you must take the entire territory of Xilin County." End the 'Late Summer Offensive'. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although he said yes, Ebert still had a slight hesitation on his face. The county town of Xilin is located in the south-central part of the county, and there are at least six or seven more cities that need to be conquered one by one. And the strength of the Western Route Army was already stretched. Except for the "Rejection of Horse Dragon Gun", they are all second-order legion troops, and it is not easy to sweep Xilin County in a short period of time.

"Don't worry," Seeing him frowning and thinking there, King Nacini chuckled lightly and said soothingly, "In the ensuing siege of Severa, the Western Route Army does not need to participate, and your task is to penetrate directly into the enemy's flank...... The official military order, and the specific march route, will be sent by the General Staff Headquarters soon. ”

"The last general's concern is that the march is too fast, the foundation is unstable, and there may be hidden dangers. Ebert tactfully offered his opinion.

"You are worried that a forced siege will cause a lot of damage," King Nacini pointed out, "I have considered this too, but if Master Villanoo is right, there will be no such problem. ”

At this moment, the herald hurriedly ascended the wooden platform and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, marshal, Count Allegri has arrived, and is waiting under the stage. ”

Allegri and Dios, who were not far away from the battle, heard that the king had summoned them, and hurried with the herald.

Soon, an order was given from the wooden platform to send him to the audience. Allegri straightened out the black mage's robes and walked up the stairs until he reached the top of the platform, before bowing and saying, "Your Majesty has seen the king. ”

"Come here. King Nacini's voice came, and his tone was quite familiar. Allegri got up and walked up to him, glancing sideways. Due to the inconvenience of being in the army, King Nacini had a pale blue beard on his chin, and he looked at it without being angry.

"What kind of array are yours, why haven't I heard of it before?" he asked after a pause.

"It's just a knick-knack," explained Allegri softly, "and in the valley it used to be nothing more than a tool to blast boulders and reclaim wasteland. ”

"How big can a boulder be blown apart?" asked King Nacini with interest, any city wall is essentially one or several boulders.

"A dozen or twenty large mountain beams are needed, and small boulders, three or five arrays are sufficient," Allegri replied after a moment's thought, as precisely as possible, "but at this moment and then, even the omnipotent magic is beyond the power of the power. ”

"You are not far from Master Villanoo," said King Nacini, looking at him, "I want you to show it to me." ”

"Anytime. Allegri nodded in response.

"Then tomorrow," said King Nacini, who immediately turned to Albert and ordered in a deep voice, "General Ebert, collect your troops, and launch a general attack tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Ebert waved the order, and moments later, the sound of the trumpets and drums of the withdrawal resounded throughout the battlefield. But he didn't understand that the king's dependence was this Allegri.

King Nacini stood with his hands in his hands, and he was also plotting in his heart. Because of Vilanoo's assurances, he chose to trust Allegri, but if it didn't work out, he would immediately put him aside.

At the same time as the military order was issued, King Nacini was ready for both. The first group of troops of the Second Line Army, which had just arrived at the front, were ready to attack not far from the rear, and if Allegri was useless, they would join up with the Western Route Army, thus ensuring that within a week, the entire territory of Xilin County would be captured.

In this realm of iron and blood, magicians are just icing on the cake after all.
