In the early morning of the first day of the Battle of the Siege of Pella, the situation on the part of the Holy Romans in the central theater of operations was much more dire than in the southwest.

The Seven Electors were defeated by the Black Dragon's sneak attack, and were killed, wounded, and captured, leaving only the secular leader Wenceslas III to escape. Not only that, but the elite assault units of the army suffered heavy casualties, and the Teutonic Knights, who served as the vanguard, lost more than half of them in just two hours, and the core combat force of the Dragon Knights was almost completely wiped out! The entire fortress of Mount Ajid was covered with the corpses of the Holy Roman army from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and the blood flowed everywhere.

The combined floating fleet in the air also suffered a lot in the explosion, because there was no hope of capturing the fortress of Mount Ajid in the short term, and at the same time, the encirclement was tight, and the remaining warships had to withdraw from the central theater of operations, and after a short emergency, they rushed to the southwest theater of operations to fight against the central floating fleet of Pera who assisted in the breakthrough there, and the Holy Rome lost its air supremacy.

What made matters even worse was that Emperor Frederick personally led his troops to the front line to suppress the battle, only to be attacked by enemy assassins again!

It turned out that after Seleucus almost succeeded in his assassination that day, he did not immediately go back to report to Perdiccas, but hid in a hidden place with his dark magic characteristics, and continued to carry out his operation of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, closely watching Frederick I's various actions. But after that, Holy Rome stepped up its guard, and Seleucus never found a better opportunity to attack.

Until the early morning of the day of the breakout battle, Frederick was eager to win. Regardless of the fact that his old illness had not been completely healed, he even brought his injuries to the battlefield to supervise the battle. Not only that, but when the seven Electors won a great victory in a magical duel. The Emperor and his soldiers were deflected by the excitement of victory. It was the darkest hour of the morning, and Seleucus's dark power was at its strongest, and he took this opportunity to strike at once! Although he still failed to kill Frederick I in one fell swoop surrounded by a large number of generals, he struck the emperor in the chest and left him seriously injured and dying!

After successive defeats, the morale of the HRE army was very low, and it was no longer able to storm the extremely strong fortress of Mount Ajid. Field Marshal Wallenstein had no choice but to command the troops to suspend the offensive. Fight again after reorganization. At this point, after the Battle of Pera Breakout, the first total defeat of the HRE army against Mount Ajid was utterly defeated.

In the afternoon of the same day. The HRE army withdrew from the central theater of Pera City, and the main army returned to the northern area, while some troops were still stationed in the eastern and western sectors to maintain the encirclement of the fortress of Mount Ajid on three sides. But large-scale conflicts are no longer in place. The same. The defenders of Pera on Mount Ajid were also unable to counterattack, and the entire city of Pera was as quiet as death, with only a few infiltration troops occasionally harassing behind enemy lines.

The screams suddenly rang out in the silence of the ruins, and then stopped abruptly, making people feel creepy

The Breakout in the southwest continued until the next morning, with the Golden Horde troops remaining in camp under the command of Prince Attila. The chaotic situation of the HRE reinforcements finally improved, and after Prince Eugen's all-out efforts throughout the night to reorganize, coupled with a steady stream of support from the north. Finally, risking the superior aerial firepower of the central floating fleet of Pera, an elite force was concentrated and prepared to launch a counterattack.

And at this time. The Pera Breakout Striker had already opened a narrow gap in the encirclement under the leadership of the fierce general Antijanis, and joined up with the support forces of the southern city-states on the periphery, and its strength was greatly strengthened. They launched powerful assaults day and night, widening the narrow gap in the encirclement so that the main army could pass through.

The two sides fought repeatedly around this passage and fought to the death. In the sky, the central floating fleet of Pera and the combined fleet of Shinra and Nicaa who rushed to support formed a battle formation, and fiercely bombarded each other with powerful magic cannons, countless rays of light were intertwined in the night sky like dense spider webs, sparks flew all over the sky, and the magnificent scene seemed to be the end of the world!

The soldiers on both sides of the land were divided into large squads and fought fiercely in the form of skirmishers, and in just one day, they had already caused extremely severe casualties. Every meter of the battlefield was stained with blood, and it looked like a meandering red river from afar!

In contrast to the fierce fighting in the southwest, the Ajid Hill front, where Elrens was located, was much quieter and lighter. Due to the repeated heavy defeats of the HRE army, and even the emperor could not afford to be seriously wounded, the main forces had to be temporarily retracted under the command of Field Marshal Wallenstein, and there were no more large-scale battles on the battlefield.

Elrens is convening a meeting of the generals stationed on Mount Ajid, and since the regent Perdiccas is dead, the forces on Mount Ajid are now under the command of the Praetorian Commander Eumenes and Princess Celestia Clio. In the empty Grand Palace, the remaining ten or so main figures were all gathered together, but everyone present was in different moods, and the atmosphere seemed quite depressing.

With the battle going smoothly and a successful breakthrough just around the corner, Cleo was in a pretty good mood. When everyone was seated, she spoke to the Janissary Commander and asked, "Your Excellency Eumenes, how is the battle in the southwest now?"

Eumenis bowed and said: "The breakthrough is progressing well, now Antijanis has established a relatively stable defense line on both sides of the gap, although HRE refuses to give up and is still fighting back with all his might, but with the strength of the opponent there, it is not easy to recapture the gap." According to my estimates, it will not be long before our main forces can begin to break through. ”

"Good. After hearing the latest news, the eldest princess's smile became even sweeter, and she then asked, "How is the injury of the chief priest Eurymus in the crown, is there any news of Master Aristotle?"

Eumenes shook his head: "Although Eulumin has temporarily saved his life, his injuries are very serious, and he still has not been able to wake up from his coma. It is estimated that even if it can be cured in the future, the divine power will be greatly reduced. As for Master Aristotle, there is still no news, and I hope that his old man will be able to turn evil into good fortune, but everyone should be mentally prepared for the worst......"
