Chapter 13: The Crisis of the Ankaro Fortress

On March 20, 4420 in the continental calendar, the fortress of Ankaro was besieged by the 400,000 troops of the Sun Empire for ten days, and the soldiers in the city fought hard and fought hard, and repelled the opponent's fifteen attacks, and now, as the night falls, perhaps the sixteenth attack will come soon.

"Uncle Karl, if we continue like this, we will lose, everyone's physical strength is almost at the limit, and the food and water in the city are almost exhausted. A blonde young man dressed in the armor of the Jertarence Praetorian Guard said, he was none other than Prince Sherlock, and standing next to him was Freo, the general of the Praetorian Guard who had come with him to Ancarlo.

"I know, Your Highness, but there is nothing we can do about these things, and that is to resist to the death, even if there is only one soldier left, we cannot let the enemy army cross this fortress. We must use all means to hold out until reinforcements arrive. General Karl said firmly.

"Uncle Karl, then we can only limit the food supply of the soldiers, otherwise we really can't hold on, in addition, Uncle Freo, distribute all the food of our Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard must all participate in the battle, no longer need to protect me, otherwise, once the city is broken, none of us will survive." Sherlock said.

"Do as you command, my Highness. ”

"Your Highness, to be honest, if the fortress is breached, I'm afraid you are the only one who can survive, and the Sun Empire will not let you die easily. Karl said suddenly.

"I know, Uncle Karl, once we can't hold on, I will never give the enemy such a chance, I would rather die than become a bargaining chip used by the enemy to blackmail my father. ”

"Well done, Your Highness the Prince, this is the good boy of our Jetalens. Karl laughed.

At this time, Dothan ran to Karl and reported: "General, the messenger of the other side is outside the city and has something to say. ”

"Here we go again, let's go, let's see what else these Sun Empire idiots can say. ”

When Carl and Sherlock came to the city wall to look, they saw that each other's camps were stacked on top of each other, like the waves of the sea, and the army of 400,000 people surrounded Ankaro like an iron bucket.

When they looked over, they saw a brown-haired middle-aged man wearing a sun mark, riding on a horse, with an unruly expression, and when he saw Carl and Sherlock, his expression couldn't help but become even more proud.

"I am Lord Clark, First Viscount of the Solar Empire, and I now convey the will of my country to General Carl Ulysses, commander of your Ancaro Fortress, and His Highness Sherlock Jetarens, Crown Prince of your country. ”

"Hmph, a little viscount, dare to call himself an adult in front of me, I am the hereditary Duke of Jetalense, you are a fart, if you have something to say, don't talk nonsense!" Karl shouted.

The brown-haired man's face showed a trace of displeasure, and he said coldly: "General Karl, don't be stubborn, if you want my 400,000 army to be here again, you will be unable to fly even if you have wings, think about your family, hand over the little prince next to you to me, our Sun Empire will never treat you badly," he cleared his throat and continued, "General Karl, even if it is not for yourself, but also for the lives of the 100,000 soldiers in the city, think about it carefully, surrender, as long as you are willing to surrender, you are the hero of our Sun Empire." ”

"Fart, you earth dogs of the Sun Empire are also worthy of asking me to surrender? If I hand over His Royal Highness the Prince to you, what face will I have to meet the ancestors of my Carl family, I tell you, only Carl who died in battle, there is no Carl who surrendered, if you want to fight, even if you fight to Zuihou, I will not surrender!"

"General Karl, you have to think clearly, this is your chance, hum!" The brown-haired man snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and walk away when a cold silver sword aura suddenly came from above the city wall.

"Be careful, adult!" shouted the guard next to the brown-haired man, jumping in front of him to resist, but he didn't expect that the moment he came into contact with the sword qi, a feeling that could easily tear his body came, and then he watched his body split in two, and when his upper body fell to the ground, he found that the big head of the adult behind it was full of a shocked expression, and fell to the ground earlier than him.

And a burst of cheers suddenly erupted on the city wall, Sherlock with a cold expression was standing there with a sword, the cold wind blew his blonde hair up and floated to the back of his head, he took a deep breath, and the coercion of the peak of the ninth order of the earth realm burst out, only to hear him shout: "Bastards, if you have the ability, come here!"

The whistling shouts instantly floated over the opponent's 400,000 army, which could not be dissipated for a long time, and Sherlock's strength that exploded at this moment also indirectly improved the morale of the defenders and gave them hope.

"Uncle, my strength is still too poor, if I have the strength of a teacher, these 400,000 troops are just ants. Sherlock returned to the room and sighed.

"Don't say stupid things, it's already very powerful for you to have this kind of strength at your current age, Dao Jialan Master, this time the truth is very strange, weishenme At this time, the God of War Temple will let the master go back to his life?" Karl said strangely.

"Uncle, what do you mean to say that the teacher's return to his life is actually a conspiracy of the Sun Empire, this is impossible, how can the Sun Empire order the Temple of the God of War, the difference in rank between the two is too much. Sherlock shook his head.

"It's not the Sun Empire, it's higher, if that's the case, then we Jatarence are in danger. ”

"What are you talking about, uncle?" asked Sherlock.

"There are some things you don't know, if you can survive this time, you go back and ask Emperor Bixia. Karl didn't ask him.

Since Carl didn't say anything, and Sherlock didn't continue to ask, he thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Uncle, now I'm only glad for one thing. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Daltha, not here. Sherlock whispered.

Karl was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes were a little moist and said: "Yes, Dahl he is not here, xiexie you, king, no xiexie you, Sherlock, now you can say this at this moment, I am xiexie you for Dahl." ”

"What do you say, uncle, Dahl is my best friend. Sherlock laughed.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of trumpets outside the city, and Dosen pushed the door in and said, "General, Your Royal Highness, the enemy army has begun to attack the city. ”

"Waiting for them, Your Highness, let's go!" Karl wiped his eyes, sorted out his equipment, and said to Sherlock, "Let the mongrels of the Sun Empire see the heroism of our Jatarence boys!"

"Yes!"
