Chapter 225: The Last Elegy (7)

"Smack!" the pale Prime Minister Jasper threw a report on the desk, "The first mage team has lost contact, the third griffin knight brigade has lost contact, the rationry depot is on fire, and the armory is completely destroyed...... After saying that, Jasper slumped weakly in his chair, his fingers trembling together.

"Hehe, worthy of Arroyo Constantine, you really didn't disappoint me......" Livin Hughes let out a sneer, burying his face deep in the shadow of his hood.

"Master Hughes, it's all come to this, don't be kidding!" said Prime Minister Jasper with a wry smile.

"Why am I joking? I praise Konstantin from the bottom of my heart!" said Hughes in a cold voice, "that's right! Konstantin, only then can you be worthy of being killed by me." ”

"Konstantin is in the city of Gotak ahead, if you want to kill it, just go. Kii Kagetsuru glared at Hughes impatiently.

"What?" Hughes turned, turning the shadow of his hood at Kiikagezuru.

"Lord Hughes, please calm your anger, Master Kii Kagetsuru means...... He meant to attack now. Jasper shuddered from his chair and came between Hughes and Kiikagezuru.

"I think you're right, Prime Minister. At this point, we have only two options, either to withdraw Kevin Lalil, or to take Gotak in one fell swoop. William Miller said with a blank expression on his marble face, "But His Majesty Justinian has something to say first, and I ask you to consider it carefully." ”

"What you said is the same as if you didn't say it, and now we have no other choice but to attack?" Hughes's voice was like a fishy wind wafting from a graveyard, with a smell of dead corpses.

"But...... But they have three dragon knights!" Gerard Jasper stammered.

Hughes stretched out his thin fingers and squeezed them vigorously and said, "What about the three dragon knights? Is the dragon knights equal to victory? Their actual combat strength is less than 5,000 men, and after an afternoon of fighting, more than half of them have been killed or wounded, and they are already at the end of their crossbows. I can't give them more respite, Prime Minister, give the order quickly!"

Jasper closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, as if he was making a big decision, when suddenly he opened his eyes and shouted, "Someone!"

"What do you command?" The waiter outside the door respectfully waited for the order.

"Ordered the three armies...... Prepare for the siege!"

On the walls of Gotak, Arroyo Constantine stroked his white beard in the night breeze and sighed.

"Grandpa, the night wind is very cold, be careful of catching a cold. Erica put on a voluminous coat for Arroyo Konstantin from behind.

"Oh, it's Erica, Xie Luxie. ”

"Grandpa, you seem to have been preoccupied lately. ”

"The Great War is ......"

Erica frowned and asked, "Where are Rainon and Paul?"

"I have a secret mission for them, a task that only a dragon knight can complete. Erica, you see, the north is blazing, indicating that their mission is at least half accomplished. Konstantin smiled and said, "Let's wait for good news!"

"Is your so-called mission to use the mobility and destructive power of the Dragon Knight to attack the enemy's logistical supplies?"

"That's right, and the use of weird flavours to cut off their supply lines. ”

Erica asked in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, isn't this forcing the coalition forces to attack Gotak City?"

"If they don't, they'll attack too, and they'll attack Gotak in a big way when they're well supplied. Arroyo narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the three dragon knights did not deter the Cavenlass rebels and the Byzantine coalition army!"

"Scareless?"

"I thought they were going to retreat when they realized there were three dragon knights...... "Arroyo shook his head, "Am I being naΓ―ve?"

"No, because you are a kind and gentle person, master. Annie's beautiful voice came from behind Arroyo.

Arroyo turned around, the light of the torch dancing back and forth on his vicissitudes of life, "It's good to meet you, Miss Field." ”

"Just call me Anne as you normally would. ”

"Hey...... I think my light bulb flashed earlier. Erica waved her hand and walked down the city.

"Erica!" Arroyo called out to Erica.

"What's the matter?"

"Tell Old General Steve to prepare for the last battle!" Arroyo's voice sounded a little dry and hoarse.

Maybe it's Grandpa, he's too tired, right?" thought to Erica silently. She nodded vigorously and flew towards the makeshift command post with her flying skills in her flight.

The night wind swayed the torch, and the dim light and shadow flickered, flickering and beating on Arroyo Constantine's face, making his ravine-lined face look even older.

"We're going to win!" Anne slowly moved closer to Constantine, leaning her face gently against his chest, feeling the low heartbeat, and a flush appeared on her white face.

Konstantin's thin fingers hung on Anne's shoulder, and he sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? for more than sixty years......

"Now that I've been following you for over sixty years, I don't care about waiting another day. ”

Konstantin did not speak, but turned his head to the north, and the roar of war drums came from the brightly lit coalition camp. Would you like to wait another day? If only there was tomorrow......

Coalition forward land acquisition.

"Prime Minister, the first and second teams of the Griffin Knights are ready to take off at any time. ”

"Hmm!" Jasper nodded.

"Prime Minister, the First Magician Squadron and the Second Magician Squadron have been prepared, and the magic array is operating normally. ”

"Good!"

"Prime Minister, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth teams of the siege assault team have all been assembled and are waiting for your dispatch at any time. ”

"Good! good!" Jasparren said both sides of the story, then turned to Vlad and asked, "How many rounds of ammunition do you have for the Crystal Cannon?"

"Only enough for three rounds of offensive and defensive ......"

"Is that so?" said Gerald, looking down in contemplation for a moment, "you go down first and wait for my orders." Gerald you stay. ”

"Yes!"

After the crowd dispersed, Gerald took out the communication brazier and placed it in front of the command platform, "The herald listens to the order and orders the first mage squadron to prepare siege magic and attack the western wall. Destroy the city defenses!"

"Yes!

"Order the first and second siege assault teams and the east side to stand by, and prepare for the siege as soon as the magic attack on the west side begins!"

"Yes!"

"Is this a strategy to attack the west? Father's plan is so good!"

Gerald gave Vlad a blank look and said, "Do you think Konstantin is as stupid as you? How could he not see a two-front attack? How could such a simple attack break through Gotak's impregnable defense?"

"This ......"

Gerald turned the brazier, and the flames turned from red to blue in an instant, "The magic crystal bombardment team obeys the order!"

"Please!"

"Aim all artillery at the east wall, and when the magic attack on the west side starts ten minutes later, start attacking!

"Yes!"

Vlad was taken aback and asked, "What about the siege assault team......?"

"Vlad!" said Gerald, shaking his head, "there is one thing you must understand, those in power must look into the big picture, and there must not be a trace of womanly kindness. Sometimes a small individual interest has to be sacrificed for the collective good. ”

"But......" Vlad still could not accept his father's point of view.

"Nothing!" Gerald scolded, "We haven't been able to break through the magic barrier laid by Konstantin in an afternoon, so what can we do now with only three rounds of magic crystal cannon fire?"

"This ......"

"If we engage with the defenders of Gotak City, then the attention of the Magician Legion led by Konstantin in Gotak City will be diverted, and then at this time, the cannon fire of the magic crystal cannon can directly break through the magic barrier and blast through the city wall!"

"Oh, finally remembering me!"

"Master Hughes, this siege mission will trouble you to act with the griffin knights, and I have already instructed my men to arrange mounts for you. ”

"Oh?" Hugh Snow stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"I plan for you to lead the legion of griffin knights to fly along the Andes, bypass the frontal battlefield and surprise behind enemy lines, and launch an air attack on the southeast side of Gotak City!"

"It's too troublesome, why don't you break through head-on?"

"Although more than half of the enemy army has suffered casualties, the main force is still there, especially the mage legion has not been damaged at all, and if you let the griffin knight rush to the front, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties......"

"In that case, I'll go front and let your griffin rider go around!" said Hughes, turning off the communication brazier.

Jasper smiled wryly, shook his head, and continued to turn the communication brazier to establish contact with the Miller father and son.

"Whatever you command, Prime Minister. ”

"The third and fourth teams of the siege assault team are led by you, the third team will attack the main gate, and the fourth team will follow after the breach on the east side of Gotak City! ”

"Yes!"

"After entering the city, head to the west to receive the mage legion into the city. ”

"Yes!"

Gerald thought for a moment and shouted to Vlad, "Vlad!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Vlad did not call Gerard his father this time.

"I command you to lead the griffin knights......" Gerald said to Vlad what he had said to Hughes.

"What? you want me to lead the griffon knights? Dad, I've never been in an air battle......"

"Call me Prime Minister!"

"Uh...... Yes, Prime Minister. ”

Gerald patted Vlad on the shoulder and comforted: "Anything has a first time, don't be nervous kid, as long as you take Gotak City, Erica Constantine will be yours!"

Vlad nodded.

"Then let's go!" Gerald waved to Vlad for him to go, and then he yelled at the communication brazier, "The battle begins!"
