Chapter Ninety-One: Soldiers Descend on the City
As night falls, the town of Red Dirt covered in volcanic ash is eerily silent. In the hall of the mansion, Frem and the others began to study the battle plan for the counterattack on Flame City.
"The main combat power of the Red Dragon Knights is that group of combat-type machines. Without those skirmishers, the bandit Kidd brothers would not be our opponents at all. Brand said, "Let's march over and take Flame Chase City in one fell swoop!"
"Brand, although the Red Dragon Knights have suffered heavy losses due to the eruption of Mount Izaro. But we still can't underestimate the fighting power of the Imperial Knights. Frem said.
"That's right, in addition to the Knights of the Red Dragon Order, they also have powerful combat forces such as the Shadow Assassins and Spellbreakers of the White Dragon Knights. How to recapture Flame Chase City still needs to be considered in the long run. Geraint nodded.
"Flame Chasing City is very close to Coke Ridge, and there were originally many volcanic monsters on Coke Ridge to block it. Now that we've dealt with all the monsters out there, Scorched Ridge is our best bet if we're going to march in. Frem expressed his opinion.
"Yes, with the topography of Coke Ridge, we are able to control the movements of all enemies in Flame Chasing City from a high position. "We can attack from the north gate of Flamechase City. In the past, before the volcano monsters were cleared, the Kidd brothers guarded the western gate in order to guard against us stationed in Red Earth. The defense to the north was relatively weak. ”
"Although the Red Dragon Knights' fighter jets have been buried in large numbers, there are still a considerable number of giant elephant cavalry stationed in Flame Chasing City. While we are attacking head-on, we still have to find ways to surprise them. Frem was planning his next battle plan.
"If you're going to launch a surprise attack on them, I think there's only one way to break through. Barton smiled and nodded.
"That's right, I've already planned it. I'll take the knights of Geraint and them through that secret passage into Flamechase City. The exit to the Secret Passage is located in the town hall of Flamechase City, so we can surprise our enemies. Frem laughed.
"Lord Frem, I was in charge of the entire renovation of Flame Chase City. It's up to me to lead the group into the secret passage and launch a sneak attack. Patton requested.
"General Patton, as the infantry commander of our Aika family, I have more important tasks to give you. You are an important part of this counteroffensive against Flame City. Leave the secret passage to me!" Frem declined Barton's request.
"But, Lord Frem. As the patriarch of our Eka family, how can we watch you die alone?" Barton persuaded Frem, "We need you to lead us in a siege, your dragon skills can inflict great damage on the enemy forces defending the city. ”
"However, the fire dragon technique is extremely powerful, and it is easy to cause great damage to all kinds of civilian facilities in Flame Chasing City. If there is no vindictive spirit, if they are affected by my fire dragon technique, there is a good chance that they will be reduced to ashes. Frem said.
"Father, I think General Patton's words are reasonable. You are the commander of our army, and you must not go into enemy territory alone. Even if General Patton is not allowed to go, you can send me to show the way for the Knights of Geraint. At this point, Brand also interjected.
"Brand, you are solely responsible for this siege. Now, I officially appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this counteroffensive against Flame City. Frem said suddenly as he looked at Brand.
"Father, you ......" Brand was a little overwhelmed by Frem's appointment.
"Hehe! I'm old. Frem smiled, "Brand, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to carry the banner of the Aika family." I suppose all of you here will do your best to support my eldest son, right?"
"Lord Frem, whether you or your children are in charge of the Aika family, we will follow you to the death. Barton drew his sword and handed it to Frem with both hands, "But please consider the plan to launch a surprise attack on Flamechase City from the secret passages." ”
"Haha, Barton, I believe in your loyalty to our Aika family. But tomorrow's siege plan, I need you to lead, I need you to lead an army to ambush in the valley south of the Coke Mountains. Frem looked at Barton and said, "In the event of an attack on Flamechase City, the Imperial Knights stationed near the volcano will definitely send troops to come to their aid." When the time comes, you will ambush them in the valley. We're going to have to get the Kidd brothers back into the mountains this time. ”
"It's too cheap to drive Jace back into the mountains and be bandits again. If it were me, I would definitely treat them well with my purple flame. Brand laughed.
"Brand, you've been with me resisting the Imperial Knights' suppression for some time, and I'm sure you've learned a lot. Tomorrow's battle in Flame City is related to the fate of the Aika family and all the people of the Burning Fire Province, you must command well and strive to fight a beautiful battle. ”
"I won't let you down, Father. Now that you've made up your mind, we'll follow your plan. Brand nodded, "But you must be safe and take care of yourself." ”
"Don't worry, accompanied by the former first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, Knight Geraint, I believe it will be foolproof. Frem laughed.
The next day, before the sky was fully light, Frem had already gathered all the forces of the Aika family and marched towards Coke Ridge. The soldiers of the Red Dragon Knights were very tired after digging through the ruins after the volcanic eruption all day. Many of them camped directly on the spot, and the defenses of Flame Chase City became very empty.
"Hmph, Father, look! The enemy forces in Flamechase City don't seem to have woken up yet!" Standing on the peak of Scorched Ridge, Brand smiled and reported the current situation to Frem.
"Then let's not wait any longer, pass on my order, and the whole army will assault and capture Flame Chasing City. Frem shouted, and a fiery dragon burst into the sky, slicing through the sky.
"Long live the Aika family by swearing to retake Flame Chase City!" "Long live the Aika family by swearing to retake Flame Chaser City!" everyone shouted loudly as they raised their weapons in their hands.
Meanwhile, the Kidd brothers, stationed in Flamechase City, don't seem to have woken up from their dreams. But the sound of shell explosions and magic explosions outside the city suddenly sounded, and the battle alarm sounded inside the city.
"What's going on, where are the alarms and the shouts of killing?" Jace suddenly woke up from his sleep and jumped out of bed before he even had time to put on his coat.
"Oh no, no! A Red Dragon Knights soldier panicked and rushed into Jace's mansion in Flamechase City.
"Get out of here, don't you see I'm not dressed yet?" Jace yelled.
"But...... But my lord, you must have heard the shouts outside, right? The rebels of the Aika family are now attacking Flame Chaser. The soldier hurriedly said, "Many of our men have been transferred to Mount Isaro to dig up the people who have been buried by the rocks. The current defense of Flame Chase City is very weak. ”
"Damn, that cunning fellow of Frem really picks his time. Jace was furious, "Pass my order, all the infantry and ranged troops will be sent to the city tower, and the giant elephant cavalry will assemble at the west gate, and you must defend this place." ”
The army of Aika approached the city of Flamechaser, and Joshua and Hernar followed them to the gate north of Flamechase City.
"Ah, it's been a long time since I've taken a shower, I'm going to take a good dip in the big bathroom in town. Henar stroked her long red hair, and suddenly she noticed that Joshua was looking at her with strange eyes. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Haha, no wonder I have been feeling so stinky lately!" Joshua smiled at Hernar.
"You stink, your whole family stinks!" shouted Hernar as she glared at Joshua.
"Listen, everyone, the chance to defeat the Red Dragon Knights has come!Let's fight to go home!" Before leaving, Frem did not forget to boost the morale of the whole army.
"Fight for the Aika family, fight for the kingdom of Reims!" Bland shouted as well.
"Roar~" The soldiers of the Aika family were all in high spirits, and they rushed forward to attack the gate of Flame Chasing City one after another.
