Autumn in the city of Gerlarence is a typical portrayal of the Nord kingdom in the southern basin, if it were not for the fact that the sky always seemed overcast, as if even the light had been absorbed a lot, you could hardly believe that the dreamy and romantic summer had passed, the hedges, the fields, the woods, the mountains and the fields, showing a rich hue that was forever changing,

The warm basin climate makes it almost impossible to see a single leaf here, only a few faint yellows dotted between the summer colors, telling you that autumn has come.

The song of birds and the sound of thousands of insects fill the space between the mountains,

The garden next to the thatched hut below was crowded with a colorful and beautiful flower, shining in the early morning fog, like a flower window covered with brilliant gems.

The central city of the Nord Kingdom, Gerlarens, a small mountain town that is inconspicuous in the central region, happens to be in the outer mountains of Nord Kyoto, and is the throat road to Nord Kyoto.

If the Falcon Army heading south wanted to open a gateway to Nord Kyoto from the northern mountains, the natural barrier of Géralens was an insurmountable barrier. ^//^ In the 500 years since the founding of Nord, this quiet town, which has been rarely affected, has now drawn a circle on the map of the fat man's finger

With the issuance of the order to prepare for war and relocate, the ox carts with their families lined up for more than ten miles outside the city of Gerlarence, full of the hesitation, horror, helplessness and unwillingness of the Gerlarens.

They looked at the demolished houses in the city, the large number of soldiers gathered here, the villages and towns outside the city that they ordered to be burned in order to clear their vision, and everything that was destroyed here was the hard work they once thought they had relied on.

Thick black smoke rushed straight into the sky, twisting with the wind, like a pair of big black hands tightly gripping their necks, making them feel suffocated and painful,

Tens of thousands of Nord civilians migrated towards the relative safety of Kyoto, while other Nord local troops who received orders scattered in the direction of Gerlarens.

Endless carriages, raising billowing gray balls to envelop every qiē on the road, the wheels creaking overwhelmingly, the clutter of items piled up on the cart,

In the distance of about 100 miles between Kyoto and Gelarens, all kinds of people were mixed, including refugees, soldiers and even mercenaries.

The darkness of the night does not control every place,

The red campfire, swaying in a sea of velvety darkness, shone on the flat faces, the human body, the carriage, the horse's mouth, as if it were cut out of cardboard.

The whole road was filled with the noise of talking, shouting, laughing at night

Singing from far and near, fluttering in the confused night, the tone of the shamisen came from the camp on the side of the road, and the campfire was a long line of messy red flames along the road,

In order to resist the Falcon army's southward march, the Nord War Department did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire 4,000 Dorok spearmen and 2,000 Dorok mercenaries from the Dorok people.

With the two newly formed local legions, the 20,000 and 5,000 defensive troops that had barely scraped together were ready to form the first line of defense in the city of Gerrallence and then the second line of defense in Kyoto according to the plan, but the most embarrassing thing happened, but the Nord generals, who had always been known for their bravery and never feared their opponents, were now showing their timidity.

Because it was none other than the Vykia Falcon who swept the northern Kugits in one fell swoop, defeated the central Ruierdians, and carried countless halos of glory.

This invincible commander who crisscrossed the battlefield has fully proved his dominance on the battlefield in the previous battles, no one can defeat the Vekia Falcon on the battlefield, and fighting against it is tantamount to suicide, this is not just a rumor, but a legend of eternal victory forged by countless blood, where he appears, not to mention that the Falcon army will soar in combat power, even the enemy on the opposite side will fall into a situation of low morale...,

Now on the Ikadivar continent, no one wants to fight with such an opponent, and according to intelligence, the Falcon army that went south to attack Nord Kyoto is as many as 55,000 people, this group army that concentrates one-third of the Falcon Dynasty's military strength, has three of the most elite Falcon Central Army Flag Regiment and 2 elite hoplite Flag Regiments,

And against them, is less than 30,000 troops of the Nord Kyoto, the front of the Anruod defense line is like a huge whirlpool, almost all the Nord army forces are evacuated, the Falcon army is going south at this moment, it can be said that it hit the Nord people in the short term local lack of troops, the weak underbelly of the defense line is too long, it is said that that day in Fort Tichberg, Vekia Falcon was in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, personally said "this battle, will scoop down the Nord Kyoto" commitment

Despite the news that the whole country was in an uproar,

The generals of Nord Kyoto were excited, and they all threatened to lead the army to fight to the death with the Vekia Falcon, but when it came time to decide who to fight this battle, even the bravest generals also retreated, and the Vekia Falcon fought? What are you kidding, all the Lorde generals are turning the same idea in their minds, in the case of having superior military strength, there is no one who dares to say that he can resist this invincible commander who is known for his fierce attacks and tactics like a god, not to mention that he is now at a disadvantage, who goes and who dies!

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to give it a try!" In the embarrassing silence, the eldest son of the Crimson family, Crimson Suo, stood out of the queue with a solemn face, this 31-year-old chief of the Kyoto Janissary Guard, thin and tall, in charge of the defense of Kyoto for three years, in the eyes of everyone, he is the henchman of King Yagrolk, with a calm personality, meticulous and promising, there is really no need to come to this troubled water

"Okay, finally I still have a general who dares to fight!" Seeing him stand up, King Yagrolk, who was already a little frightened, stood up happily and said a sentence that made all Nord generals ashamed and indignant,

Crimson Suo is a famous family in the samurai, responsible for the complicated defense affairs of Kyoto for many years, so that he knows the essence of defense, the essence of the so-called defense, in fact, is to consume, consume the enemy and consume themselves, he is a character of Salton, pursuing Salton's famous saying that there is no victory without sacrifice,

In order to turn the whole of Gelarence into a huge fortress in the shortest possible time,

The first order he received was to order the soldiers to tear down all the houses in the city, to carry stones up the city wall as rolling stones for defense, to build thick barricades on the spot with large stones that could not be moved, and to build thick barricades on the spot with beautiful and artistic marble pillars, which were the favorite stone projectile materials of trebuchets, and to completely block the city road in front of them with obstacles.

"No, we need to speed things up!" Crimson Cord's tall figure stood silently on a projection platform under construction in the city of Gerlarence, looking silently to the far southeast.

He will turn every passage in the city into an obstacle to the advance of the Falcon army, so that the Falcon army will bleed in front of these traps.

He wore a crisp general's uniform that looked like a uniform. Behind him, the near-ruined city of Gerlarence, a gray dot in the middle of the vast earth,

In the faint sunlight of the afternoon. The dark blue clothes on his body looked particularly lonely against the goose-yellow background of autumn all around, his figure looked very thin, and his face was quite haggard.

Only deeply sunken eyes. The occasional aggressive look that exudes is proof of where his thoughts are,

Everyone who haunts here is busy serving in the peacekeeping war, and no one knows when the Falcon army will appear outside the city, and everyone must do their best to prepare for the war.

All 20 of the 20 new arrow wagons made by the Nord Ministry of War were also transported here, and they were arranged separately on three large wooden shooting platforms improvised on the city wall, and the projectiles were densely packed like honeycombs, which were not strictly a new weapon,...,

Twenty years ago, the Nord craftsmen invented similar weapons to withstand the cavalry onslaught of the Ryrdians.

However, because of the complexity of the past and the consumption of a large number of arrow clusters, and this kind of intensive launcher, the effect on the Ruierdian army who believed in the idea of heavy armor was not as great as expected.

In the end, the Nord military ministry canceled the manufacture of such expendable weapons,

This time it was forced to no way, in order to make up for the lack of archers in the Nord army, and as a result, the embarrassment of being forced to fight by the Falcon army, some people proposed to use the arrow cluster catapult from the new, and at present, it seems that it is very suitable to deal with the Falcon army that does not wear heavy armor,

The 20 large arrow cluster projectors formed the zigzag shape, forming the most powerful support point to block the Falcon Army's siege.

Crimson Soso knew very well that this battle was about the life and death of the Nord Kingdom, and in the eyes of that ferocious Vecchian falcon, the Kyoto of Rad, which was less than 150 miles away from the city of Gerlarence, was the final foothold of its greedy gaze.

The 50,000 tiger and wolf army with a strong fighting spirit only crossed the barrier of Gerlarence, and the basin area of hundreds of miles was composed of hills, large woodlands, and rivers.

Strategically speaking, there is no longer a trace of separation between the two sides, the hooves of the Falcon Army can be trampled through here at any time, the outer periphery of Nord Kyoto has been completely exposed to the threat of the Falcon Army, the country has been established for five hundred years, and the Nord people, who have always been strong, are the first time that people have been so close to their heartland,

The war with the Falcon Dynasty in the north has caused the kingdom to exhaust its last resources and strength to fight the Falcon army for the last time.

According to Crimson's order, all the residents around the city were taken away, all roads were destroyed, and all the supplies that could be used were removed. After clearing all the wells outside the city, Crimson Cord made the greatest determination to demand that the defenders stationed in Gerlarence live and die with the city.
