Seleucus, who had established a miracle feat by just a thin line, hated it in his heart, and he immediately regathered his magic, and his whole body rose with black qi to attack again.

"Bold maniac! Come and die!!" But at this time, the generals in the big tent had already reacted, and they all howled angrily and drew their weapons, forming a semi-circular encirclement to kill him.

At the same time, there was a stumble of footsteps outside the tabernacle, and it was clear that a large number of reinforcements were about to arrive. Among these generals, there were many masters of a hundred battles, and Seleucus knew that the best time had passed, and it was impossible to return from today's sneak attack. Even if you continue to attack, not only will you not be able to take the emperor's life, but you may even die here!

However, the Commander of the Inner Guard had succeeded in inflicting serious injuries on Frederick II, which was the minimum required for the mission. So he gritted his teeth, turned into a black flash again, rolled over and rushed out the way he came......

Late that night, Seleucus returned to the base camp of Pera's defenders, where he was wounded by the enemy mages and wiped out his elite assault team as he escaped after his mission, but the price he paid was worth it.

The news that the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II had been seriously wounded in the raid and that he had been poisoned and unconscious soon spread, along with the fire in the camp of the Chinese army, which suffered heavy losses due to banquets and lax defenses. For a time, the HRE armies were shocked and stopped their rapid expansion, and then under the orders of Marshal Wallenstein, they shrank slightly, and instead strengthened the consolidation of their existing positions, and at the same time transferred troops from the frontal battlefield to reinforce the weak points of the encirclement southwest of the city of Pera.

Meanwhile. The Nicaeans, who were also attacking fiercely on the eastern front, were also shocked when they heard the news. Emperor Justinian immediately ordered the armies to halt their advance and begin searching for the remnants of the enemy hiding in the rear. At the same time, he moved his own tent to a safer location outside the city.

The enemy's rapid offensive had been defeated for several days, and Perdiccas took advantage of this rare opportunity to continue to intensify preparations, and the armies were basically ready to attack, and the large-scale breakthrough that was scheduled to begin the day after tomorrow was already on the line.

By the next day, Emperor Frederick II's injuries had finally stabilized and he had regained consciousness after being treated by the Grand Potions Masters. Enraged, he was determined to take revenge, and the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to immediately order a resumption of the offensive. Wallenstein received the order and led his troops again in the afternoon. This time, however, he instead of carrying out a multi-pronged all-out offensive, he instead concentrated on Liliang to storm the Grand Palace and the Academy of Magic, which were located on Mount Ajid in the center of the city

By the time the HRE army approached Mount Agid, it was already dusk.

As a result of the attack launched by Seleucus, the advance of the enemy was successfully delayed. The Pera defenders were given almost a full day of precious time to prepare for the breakout. By this time, the whole army had completed mobilization, Perdiccas distributed all the war materials in Zuihou, all the damaged equipment and weapons were replaced or repaired, and the uniforms, war drums, battle flags and other auxiliary items were renewed.

The war horses and transport vehicles of all the armies were replenished. The military mages were also given ample Philosopher's Stones and Magic Scrolls. Each fighter carried with them double the amount of healing potions and enough dry food to eat for five days. All the warehouses have been swept away. Excess items were also burned by a fire. It can be said that if this breakthrough fails, then the defenders of Pera will face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food!

The main force of Pera has already assembled at Atlantisburg on the southwest wall, and as soon as the morning arrives, the five gates in the southwest will open at the same time, and the elite heavy group of forwards who have been waiting for a long time will immediately pounce on the enemy positions surrounded outside the city, and fight a bloody way for the middle army that is coming from behind!

By this time, Mount Ajid in the center of the city had been converted into a huge fortress, leaving only Perdiccas and the Janissary Legion's commander Eumenes' broken troops stationed here, whose mission was to withstand the onslaught of the enemy after the breakout began. Until all the main forces are withdrawn.

But this moment came early due to the awakening of Frederick II, and Wallenstein, the commander of the HRE army, knew that the opponent's Jihua was going to break through. He made two preparations for this.

On the one hand, troops were urgently deployed to support the encirclement in the southwest, but it was located at the end of the entire front, far from the main force in the center, and the terrain was not advantageous, so even if more reinforcements were sent in case of a flanking attack, it would be useless. On the other hand, he personally led a large army to attack from the front, as long as he took the strategic commanding heights of Mount Ajid, the entire city of Pera would be in full view, and the fragile backs of the breakthrough troops would also be exposed in front of his eyes. When the time comes, lead the army to cover the past from the rear, and the remaining Pera defenders will surely collapse completely!

As the sun slowly sets over the horizon, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the HRE army, under the command of Wallenstein, begins a Zuihou onslaught on Mount Ajid. On the opposite side of the mountain, an astonishing fire flashed from the heavy magic cannon position, and the artillery bombardment was frantically fired. The nearby Royal Wizard Regiment also set up a complex magic array, summoning a cloud of lightning to slam down. The Shinra Combined Floating Fleet also attacked, and nearly 100 warships of all sizes opened fire fiercely around Mount Agid.

Previously, because Pera's central floating fleet had been standing still, they didn't dare to attack, but at this critical moment, in order to break Pera's Zuihou defense line as soon as possible and annihilate the main force of the breakout from the rear in one fell swoop, Wallenstein also showed his hole cards, and the army poured out!

The Grand Palace at the top of Mount Ajid and the Tower of Arcane Logic at the Academy of Magic unleashed a silver magic shield at the same time as the enemy attacked, enveloping the entire mountain. The most intense artillery fire since the beginning of the war continued to pour on the shield, flashing fire overshadowing the afterglow of the setting sun, and the loud explosions continued to be heard.

After about two hours of artillery preparation, the HRE army launched a halberd-shaped offensive in three directions, launching a powerful charge towards Mount Ajid. The Central Army consisted of the elite Teutonic Knights, commanded by William III, the son of Albrech, the commander-in-chief. He was dressed in magic armor and held a spear with a glittering cold light, and his body was full of fighting spirit and majesty
