In front of the fortress of Abydos, the Trojan Guards and noble private soldiers lined up in a neat formation, quietly stopping outside the range of the enemy's fortified weapons, eyeing the fortress. Joel, on the other hand, reverted to his dragon form, whirling and rolling in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to attack his enemies.

"Aim for the enemy...... Launch!!"

Mendez stood on the wall with his sword in his hand, and howled loudly: "Brothers, give me more strength, and you must destroy that monster for me!

The fortress was in full swing, and the warriors were busy. Magic cannons, trebuchets, heavy crossbows and other weapons to defend the city bombarded the sky like raindrops, vowing to knock the black dragon down from the sky!

However, these defensive weapons were designed to deal with large and dense enemy formations, and although they were quite powerful, they were also very bulky. For the black dragon that circled up and down in the sky, the Eastern Roman warriors found it very difficult to even aim, let alone hit the opponent.

"Fool, can these slow-moving arrows hit me?!!Suffer death!!"

Jole dodged the enemy's long-range attacks with his incomparably nimble body, and looked for an opportunity to rush through the gap between the fire nets, opening his mouth and spewing a large cloud of scorching flames towards the fortress! I saw that the crimson flames instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and swept towards the large group of Eastern Roman defenders above the fortress! Seeing that the flames were about to devour the enemy army, the Trojan Guards suddenly let out a high cheer! While the Eastern Roman warriors shouted in horror and tried desperately to dodge!

However, in the next moment, a dazzling blue light suddenly flashed above the fortress! Long Yan slammed into the blue light. There was a loud 'bang!', and a dazzling fire burst into the sky! Everyone was taken aback, and after the explosion, they quickly widened their eyes and looked carefully. I was surprised to see that Long Yan had been dissipated by Abydos's magic shield without a trace!

The Trojan Guards couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, while the Eastern Roman warriors let out a cheer in unison, and under the command of Mendes, they continued to control all kinds of heavy city defense weapons to launch a counterattack against the black dragon!

"Damn!"

Angry and helpless, the distance was too close to the enemy and could easily be hit by enemy fire. Although the dragon clan has thick skin and thick flesh, it is not a joke if he is directly hit by the heavy city defense magic cannon! Rush to the perimeter of the fortress and look for another opportunity. In this way, the two sides went back and forth, but after a long time, they could not distinguish the winner or loser. The protective cannons on the fortress could not directly hit the black dragon that was constantly flying in the air, and Joel was never able to break Abydos's sturdy magic shield......

The Eastern Roman general Mendes saw this. The spirit that had been tense relaxed slightly, and he secretly sneered in his heart. This black dragon, named Elrens, is boasted of being a god in the legend, why single-handedly beheaded the seven electors of Holy Rome. Now it doesn't seem like a big deal! Or are the so-called seven electors actually weak at all?

In any case, it seems that I don't need to worry too much. The defensive capability of the Abydos Fortress is still very strong, and with the attack power of the black dragon in front of him, it will definitely not be able to break the defensive shield in the short term. You can rest assured that you can stay here and wait for the reinforcements that Lord Narcisse will send after he recovers the city of Nicaea. However, Mendes didn't know that the black dragon in front of him was not Elrens at all!

Just as he was relieved, a knight hurried from behind the fortress and shouted, "Your Excellency!

Mendes looked back and shouted dissatisfied, "What the hell is going on, what are you shouting and screaming here!"

The knight gasped. He hurriedly replied: "There is a riot in the Anatonian military camp in the rear, and the troops we are stationed there have been completely wiped out because they are outnumbered. Now the enemy has gotten rid of our surveillance and takes control of the entire barracks!!"

"What?!"

When Mendes heard this, he was shocked and angry, the enemy had infiltrated the fortress and succeeded in provoking a rebellion among the surrenderers! You must know that the Anatonian Legion in Ludao has tens of thousands of people, and most of them are veterans with combat experience, once they lose control, the consequences are unimaginable, and this situation simply cannot be worse!!

He gritted his teeth and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on! Although we have only 2,000 men there, we are all fully armed, and the enemy is unarmed, how can we easily be completely annihilated?!"

The knight replied with a wry smile: "The enemy has secretly stored a number of simple weapons since I don't know when, and among them there is a mysterious man in black, who is very strong! Originally, we had been controlling the situation in the barracks, but we didn't expect this person to suddenly come out, break through our heavy infantry phalanx before we could react, and capture our commanders and generals!!"

"......!!" Mendes was speechless in shock.

It is not inconceivable to rush into the enemy line and kill the opposing general. But to capture the other party alive and retreat before the enemy can react, such strength is simply terrifying, I didn't expect that there would be such a top powerhouse hidden in the Anatonian military camp! Fortunately, there is still a wall and protective shield between the military camp and the main body of the fortress, and it is not so easy for the enemy to attack from the rear. However, this is not the way to go, and it will not be easy to deal with if the Anatonian Legion and the Trojan rebels combine and rearm!

Seeing that the Lord was speechless for a long time, the knight hurriedly asked, "My lord, what shall we do?"

Gritting his teeth and thinking about it for a while, Mendez finally made up his mind: "This black dragon should not be able to break the fortress defense for a while, the situation here is not critical, let's concentrate on suppressing the Anatonian military camp rebellion first, and then it's not too late to come back to defend here!"

At this point, he issued an order to several generals on the left and right, and began to mobilize the various forces that had been holding on to the city walls, preparing to crush the rebels in the rear first
