The vanguard of the King's army, which was advancing cautiously under the leadership of Malves and Cesedo, was somewhat relieved that there was no resistance along the way. Suddenly, they heard a noise from behind, and both of them were startled, and were about to ask what was going on, when they saw groups of soldiers running towards them without a head.

Cicedo was furious, and he grabbed one of the soldiers and asked sharply, "What's wrong?"

The soldier had a panicked look on his face and stammered, "Enemy...... Enemy...... Kill...... Kill ......"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, Cesedo already understood what was going on, he turned on his horse and drew his sword, and shouted, "Stop! Organize a counterattack immediately!" Without saying hello to Malves, he led his personal guard and ran to the rear.

However, more and more soldiers fled, and Cicedo's personal guards could not stop the soldiers from fleeing, so they could only surround the king tightly to avoid being scattered by the rebels. Cecedo kept shouting orders, but unfortunately no one listened to his command at this time, and both officers and soldiers were scurrying around without a head.

Seeing this, an officer had no choice but to say to Cesedo: "Your Majesty, the situation is too chaotic now, why don't we withdraw too!"

Cesedo gritted his teeth fiercely, shook his horse's head, and said, "Withdraw!"

Tens of thousands of troops ran in a panic until dawn, and only gradually stopped until they could no longer run. Cesedo ordered the remnants of the army to be cleaned up, and it took another day of busy work before gradually gathering the fleeing troops. Cesedo counted it, and only 30,000 of the more than 50,000 troops had been gathered, and the other 20,000 people had fled somewhere.

Cedo and Malveis sighed helplessly, and could only lead their army to continue towards the Oron Fortress. Two days later, the demoralized army finally arrived at the fortress of Oren. Seeing the banner of Herones flying on the head of the city, Cedeor was so angry that he wanted to crush his teeth, and Malves was ashamed, a good kingdom was somehow lost by himself, and his family is still missing.

Cecedo ordered his men to set up camp and rest for another day, and the next morning they set up their positions to prepare for the siege of the city. On the way here, Cedo had ordered some siege equipment to be made, but after being harassed and chased by Savan, many things were lost somewhere. As a last resort, Cesedo had no choice but to order people to cut down trees overnight and make some wooden ladders for the siege.

Cecido knew that he would have to pay a terrible price to take this dangerous fortress, but now he didn't care about that, as long as he could open the way home, he was willing to pay any price. As soon as he arrived, Cesedo sent 5,000 troops, divided into three echelons, ready to launch a sustained attack.

The defenders of the Oren fortress cannot be many, although the five thousand troops may not be able to capture the fortress, but they will definitely be able to cause the consumption of the other party, and their own troops are absolutely superior, and it is also called to fight a war of attrition.

With the sound of a loud trumpet, the five thousand troops divided into three echelons and attacked the hillside. The soldiers, holding shields in one hand and wooden ladders in the other, cautiously approached the gates of the fortress. Surprisingly, there was no reaction from the city heads, and the soldiers defending the city just looked at them coldly, neither firing arrows nor throwing logs, as if they were blind to the morale of the siege.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy the soldiers became, and there must be a demon when things went wrong, and the soldiers muttered in their hearts while moving forward. At last, he was about to arrive at the bottom of the city, when suddenly a strange head protruded from the city, and a long neck was twisting around.

When the soldiers saw this monster, they were so frightened that they stopped, and the sharp-eyed man suddenly shouted: "Dragon!

Before the words could be spoken, a blazing flame had already erupted from the city, and hundreds of soldiers were immediately engulfed in flames. The flame-covered soldier let out a heart-rending scream as he ran wildly, and the other soldiers were so frightened that they dodged. However, the mountain road is narrow, how can so many soldiers huddle together to escape.

The besieging team was immediately thrown into chaos, some of the soldiers were ignited by the flames of the others, and some of them were too late to dodge and fell off the cliff, screaming at everyone's heart.

Fionor, who was at the head of the city, saw that his flames were burning and the soldiers were screaming, and he was so unhappy that bullying the weak was his favorite, and he did not dare to offend Sawin and Selia, so he pointed his finger at the enemy.

Another burst of flames erupted, and more soldiers were set on fire by the flames, and the besieging team was already in complete confusion, and many of them threw their weapons and fled down the hill, and the besieging team was routed before they could make any attack. The mountain path was littered with charred corpses, and it looked terrifying.

The people under the mountain saw this scene clearly, Sicedo opened his mouth in shock, the other party even had a dragon, it was already too much to have a magician, and now even the dragon has come out, how can this battle be fought? A depressed mood suddenly surged into everyone's hearts, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, there is no possibility of victory at all, even Cesedo has such a mind, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Cecedo had no intention of attacking again, so the first day of the attack was hastily ended, and the fortress did not seem to have any intention of counterattacking. Now Cesedo already knows how the fortress was lost, the other side has a dragon, even if it is just one, it is a huge force, not to mention retaking the fortress now, many soldiers are even worried that the opponent's flying dragon will suddenly fall from the sky and burn them all.

A great fear weighed on everyone's hearts, and many people were already secretly planning to escape, and it was better to be a deserter than to be burned to death by a dragon. Everyone has seen the tragic situation of being burned to charcoal, and when the deserters still have hope of survival, attacking the fortress can only be a dead end......

After the night, Cesedo decided to continue the siege, he had no choice, staying here was also waiting for death, fighting hard might be able to create a miracle, he could only encourage himself like this. Under Cicedo's forcible orders, thousands of soldiers had to walk towards the fortress again, and behind them were thousands of warlords armed with sharp axes.

Cedo had to use this trick, otherwise no one would want to attack the city, and Mulves felt like tears were about to fall when he saw this.

The soldiers of the siege force saw that there was a dead end in front and behind, so they made a heart, burn to death, who let themselves be chosen. With tears of grief and indignation, the last cry came out of the soldiers' mouths, and they rushed up to the Oren fortress with shields and wooden ladders.

Flames and screams mingled as the city of Oren turned into a fabled hell, and none of the thousands of soldiers made it to the top of the city, all burned into piles of char by Fiorno's flames. The yellow earth had turned to black, scorched earth, and the stench could be smelled miles away.

The soldiers defending the city could not bear to look any further, and asked Cereya, "My lord, if they come to attack the city again, please let us fight! ”

"Please let them die with dignity, it's too cruel to use fire......"

In fact, Celia's heart is also tormented, although this way can protect her soldiers to the greatest extent, but it is indeed too cruel to the enemy. Celia nodded and said, "As long as you can hold the fortress, I will not use Fionor's power again, unless ......"

Celia didn't dare to say anything, and she couldn't forgive herself if she lost the fortress, so she could only leave some leeway for herself.

At night, Marveis and Cesedo sat silently in the tent, and the scene of the day was deeply engraved in their hearts, and it was a tragic scene that they will never forget. What's more, the two have clearly realized that they have lost this war, and they can't even take a single Oron fortress, and they still say what to recover Hironis.

At this time, only wine could make them forget the pain in their hearts for a while, and both of them were very drunk, and fell into a deep sleep in the tent.
