Magic and cannonballs continued to pass over Flame City, and the Kidd brothers in the city relied on their machines to keep using muskets and incendiary grenades to prevent each other from approaching the walls.

"Why haven't the Imperial Knights' reinforcements arrived yet? Fuck!" Jace swore as he fended off the Aika family's assault at the top of the city.

"Fortunately, my sister's machine is more effective, and we can keep this place for the time being. Jeff smiled beside Jace.

"Simon, this guy just relies on a mouth, and it's useless at a critical moment. Jace yelled.

With a "clang", the head of a machine qì man fell to the side of the Kidd brothers because it was hit by a cannonball.

"Oh, damn it!" Jace shook his head helplessly as he looked at the headless man.

Brand led the elite of the Aika family in a constant onslaught. Beneath the walls were the banners of the Aika family, purple banners fluttering in the wind, flames and boulders dancing. The Dragon Eagle unit circled in the air, engaging a small number of enemy aircraft in close combat. Arrows shot out of the city, stones swirling overhead, crashing blindly into the ground, shattering steel and flesh. With the gates of Flamechase City ahead, Aika's army swarmed forward, pushing a massive iron-tipped oak battering ram. The flaming catapult was far around the city walls, and as soon as someone appeared on the gate tower, it would immediately eject flying stones. "Let's work harder, it's time to go home. Brand raised his hands and unleashed a purple flame that detonated the enemy's incendiary bomb directly in the air.

Outside the city gates, the red clay-covered ground began to become damp and slippery, as the ground was covered in mud due to the invasion of blood. And the castle tower is also full of casualties and the wreckage of scrapped machines. Jace wandered around the towers, directing the defenders in all directions. However, he accidentally tripped over the wreckage of a machine and nearly caused him to fall off the tower, but fortunately his scythe helped him maintain his balance. Under the city gates, Aika's army has been holding on to the north and west gates. Jace raised his scythe and shouted, "Little ones, hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon!" Before he could finish speaking, suddenly spears flew from the tower, emitting a long scream of steel and silk, accompanied by the sound of swords clashing in the firelight.

"Damn, the enemy's ladders are all up, you can quickly deal with them for me. Jace swung his scythe and slashed the spear away.

"Big brother, are the Imperial Knights still coming?, we've been besieged for so long, they should have climbed even if they did?" exclaimed Jeff.

"Stupid, whisper to me. If our subordinates hear it, our morale will suddenly become very low. Jace slapped Jeff the head.

Suddenly, several more spears flew by, and one of them completely pierced the chest of an infantry-type machine man next to the Kidd brothers, and the barrel of the gun immediately broke into the body of the machine person, and the whole machine person burst out with strong electric sparks. "Big brother, it's really not good, let's abandon the city, right?" exclaimed Jeff.

"Fool, do you want to go back to living the life of a bandit? Not only will we be purged by the Aika family, but even the mountain hunters will be counting on our heads for mercenary money!" Jace shouted.

"Shhh

"Isn't this Simon?" Jace suddenly became excited, "these damn guys, they're finally here to support us." ”

"Pilot!" Simon parked Pegasus on top of the castle tower, and Jace and the others quickly surrounded him.

"Simeon, have our reinforcements arrived?" Jace asked aloud.

"Hmph, don't mention it. We were ambushed by the Eka family in the valley south of the Coke Mountains, and we were almost completely annihilated!" Simon was dripping with sweat and panting.

"What did you say?" Jace shouted, unable to see Jace's expression due to the mask on his head. But everyone could imagine Jace's angry face at this time.

"Big brother, look, reinforcements aren't coming, let's run!" said Jeff, taking Jace's hand.

Suddenly, a boulder wearing flames flew up the tower. Simon hurriedly raised a shield to block it. The boulder slammed into his shield, sending Simon's arm numb. "Luckily, when I came back, I snatched a shield from one of the soldiers who had escaped, otherwise my head would have moved. ”

"Hmph, you can move while your head is in Coke Ridge. Jace scolded.

Simon leaned on the rampart of the city wall and looked down below. The Ekka family's attacks rose wave after wave, and the battering ram continued to pound the city gates. Many of the Knights of the Red Dragon Order were transferred to the city tower to block the city gates. He looked left and right, but there was no sign of the person he was looking for. Suddenly, an arrow clicked into the armor, just an inch away from Simon's eye. He was taken aback and nearly fell off the wall. Sure enough, if you show up on the city gate, you will become a target like a stake!

"Hold it off for me, I'll move something important!" Simon said to Jace.

"you! The reinforcements you've brought with you are gone, so it's up to the only rabble and the low-level men in the city to hold on?" Jace yelled at Simon without looking back.

"What are you anxious about?" shouted Simon, "have you forgotten that Lord Schroeder is also nearby? If he had known that you had abandoned the city and fled, he would have screwed your heads off. Our White Dragon Knights' troops stationed in Barneys Harbor have already set off, ready to come here to receive the treasure and escort them back to Floating City. I heard that the troops had arrived in Linxia City a few days ago. If you do the math, the troops should be able to get here today. ”

Jace shouted, "Then we'll trust you again!" "Hold on, little ones!" The army of the White Dragon Knights is about to arrive, and Lord Schroeder will soon be back to support us. Jace shouted from the castle tower, but his shouts were quickly drowned out by the crowd below who were shouting "Long live the Aika family!" In addition, through the heavy steel helmet, there was a painful scream, the crackling sound of flames, a trembling battle horn, a loud brass trumpet, the neighing of a dragon eagle, and the flying of arrows. Voices came and went, and Jace felt like he couldn't temper them even with a mask.

A loud bang echoed above the tower, and it turned out that the north gate of Chasing Flame City had been slammed open, and a large number of soldiers of the Aika family began to pour into Chasing Flame City. However, it was soon repelled by rockets from the giant elephant cavalry waiting at the city gates.

"Hurry up and send more men to the north gate. Simon shouted, "I'll go and transfer the treasure we've dug up first." In case reinforcements from Barneys Port arrive before the city is breached, this thing will fall into the hands of the rebels. Simon mounted his Pegasus and flew towards the center of the city.

"Hmph, obviously I just want to run. Jace glared at Simon's back, "You're amazing, find such a reason!"

"It's a fierce battle here!" Joshua watched from the castle tower as he watched the whole battle.

"Worthy of being the son of the Holy King Roy. "There's no cringe or fear on the battlefield. One day, His Royal Highness will become a true leader. ”

"It is worthy of being the strongest mechanized unit of the Imperial Knights. Even if you let a bale commander like the Kidd brothers last that long. Frem frowned, "Looks like we have to hurry up and get into the secret passages to break down the enemy's defenses from within Flamechase City." ”

"Yes, Lord Frem, we need to plan ahead. If this continues, even if the city gate is breached, it will pay a considerable price. Gerante said.

"Father, I'm going to send you here. You must be careful when you enter the secret passage. Brand said to Frem.

"Don't worry, son, you wait outside the city for good news from us, and I'm sure we'll be home soon." Frem replied.

Suddenly, a golden carrier pigeon flew down from the sky and stopped on Frem's arm, Frem looked at the carrier pigeon, and there was an excited look on his face: "General Patton, they succeeded!"
