Text Chapter 104 One Day and One Night
The night sky was not as silent as usual, replaced by fireballs and earth-shattering cries.
The war in the city of Otis continued, and after the Faustin army filled two more corps, the Charlottes defending the city were not as relaxed as before.
As a soldier of the post, the officers of the two legions of Faustin with a total of four corps gave the Charlottes a good lesson. Tuition is their blood and their lives.
"The North City Gate is almost unguardable!"
"Reinforcements needed!"
"Where's the magic cannon?
"Reserves, hurry up!"
"Rolling stones, rolling stones! Don't let the Faustins come up!"
"Ah! I was shot. ā
......
The city of Otis was in chaos, and the harder the battle, the more it reflected the actual combat capability of an army.
Obviously, the night fighting was very uncomfortable for the Charlots, who were mostly recruits.
The Fourth Corps of the Eagle Legion had already glued up, and with the Third Corps, it had gained a foothold under the city of Otis.
As for the battle situation of the Lion Legion, it is clearer, in addition to the assistance of long-range siege equipment, most of the mages have also been transferred to the battle there.
The soldiers of the Lion Legion who cooperated with Xiao Yong, if it weren't for the Marquis Philip being on the front line to resist with the soldiers and civilians, which greatly increased the momentum of the Charlotte soldiers, I am afraid that even the city gate would have been lost.
The siege battle at night did not give the residents of Charlot a good night's sleep, and everyone secretly prayed that the city gates would not be breached.
Betty was one of them, and her husband had joined the city guards four days earlier, giving the family of four a brief three days without starvation.
But yesterday that changed. The husband was dragged to the west gate early in the morning, and it was said that the Faustinians outside the city were preparing to attack.
Damn the aristocrats, her husband is just a newcomer who has just joined the city defense team for a few days, what is his husband doing at this juncture.
It's been almost a day and a night, and Betty can only pray that her husband is okay.
Not only Betty, but many families in Otis are praying for their loved ones who are fighting in the city.
That night, Faustin's army attacked the city of Otis five times, all of which were held by the Charlottes.
But Faustin's side was not in vain, countless Charlotte garrison materials were consumed, and the magical power that Charlotte brought to civilization was also overused.
At dawn, the four major legions besieging the city were finally withdrawn by order of Prince Kensel. The four corps, which forcibly attacked for a day and a night, lost a lot of mental and physical strength to the soldiers.
But this is not the end, the offensive frenzy belonging to Faustin has only just begun.
"The Second Corps of the Eagle Legion is pressing!" came the voice of the order belonging to the Marquis of Mammon.
This was something he had agreed with Prince Kensell beforehand. Since the number ratio between them and the Charlottes defending the city is close to 6:1, it is completely possible to use the tactics of crowds to crush them.
The city of Otis is one of the few fortified cities in Charlotte, and it is located in the higher mountain area, so they have no advantage to borrow as an attacker, so they can only fight a tough battle.
Fortunately, after five years of war, the last thing Faustan soldiers were afraid of was to fight a tough battle. It is shaped like the third corps of the Eagle Legion, this kind of miscellaneous card can survive in the first wave of siege battles, not to mention other more elite troops.
It is a pity that the soldiers of the 3rd Corps of the Eagle Legion suffered the greatest losses of the four legions during this day. After all, it was composed of the private army of the nobles, and the coordination ability between the battalions of the corps was much worse.
The loss of these soldiers has greatly reduced the strength of many nobles, and it has also removed a large tumor and heart disease for Marquis Mammon.
"Locke, let's go!" said Knight Will, who had somehow mounted his horse next to Locke.
Since Locke gave Johnson's potion to Will Knight, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and there is no barrier between superiors and subordinates. Locke asked Will Knight a lot of basic knowledge about related knights, and Will Knight also answered them one by one, which saved him a lot of detours.
"Yes!" Locke grabbed a spear and sword in his right hand, following Knight Will.
Because it was a siege, the war horses did not have much effect, and they were all placed in a place far away from the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Kaidozi battalion began to assemble in an orderly manner, they were also soldiers belonging to the Second Corps, and the troops mentioned by Marquis Mammon must have included them.
As for the soldiers who took over from them to guard here, naturally they didn't have to worry about these big soldiers, and naturally other troops came over.
The cavalry squadron has always been the most elite unit of their battalion, and these lads dismount from their horses, and they are all strong soldiers of the first class. Locke had estimated that almost everyone had the strength of a third-class to a second-class soldier, and the servants were barely visible here.
Joshak, Monte, Hans, and others began to greet their men.
"Locke, which is Locke?" a man in a black robe with a delicate face appeared in front of their camp about to be opened, and from the image of this man holding a long staff, it was not difficult for the soldiers to guess that this should be a magician. In yesterday's siege battle, they were closest to the magician's camp, but they saw a lot of mysterious scenes of magic.
"IāI am!" Locke walked out of the crowd curiously as he heard his name called.
"Hello, my name is Vegas. The man who looked like a magician didn't have a bit of a magician's frame, but took care of Locke with a smile on his face.
"Hello!" Locke replied, Locke, who had been with Angelina for almost a month, could certainly sense that this was a powerful magician, at least a low-level apprentice, Locke guessed.
"This is what a noble man told me to give to you. Vegas was still smiling, obviously not speaking, but this voice reached Locke's ears, and other than that, Locke felt that there was something more in his sleeve.
Locke, who was shocked by this miraculous phenomenon, broke out in a cold sweat, stiffened his neck and nodded to show that he knew. He didn't even notice how the item in his sleeve appeared, as if it appeared out of thin air. If the man uses a knife ... Locke couldn't imagine.
Looking at Locke's appearance at this time, the corner of the man's mouth showed a mysterious smile, and then turned to leave.
Locke clenched the items in his sleeve and feigned composure. Of course he knew who had given him something, and Angelina had said a few days ago that she had prepared life-saving items for him.
Locke originally refused, but Angelina had to give it to him, and Locke had no choice but to accept it. Locke, who has some machismo ideas, has a hard time accepting gifts from women.
Not only that, but the mysterious technique of the magician just now also surprised Locke. Only then did Locke know that in addition to Angelina's lame magic, there were such means beyond his imagination.
In fact, it's not that Angelina is not good at learning magic, but that she hasn't reached that stage yet.
Magicians are different from knights, most magicians only have basic self-preservation power when they are low-level apprentices, and entry-level apprentices will be killed with little resistance when approached by knights' squires. This is not the case with low-level apprentices, who have already opened up enough spiritual seas to emit most of the magic that they can sustain themselves.
At that time, it was no longer a question of whether a low-level knight squire could compete with a magician, but a situation where a low-level magic apprentice could beat several knights of the same level.
According to the mysterious method of the magician just now, it is not a big problem for one person to deal with two or three knights of Locke's strength.
Locke was not hit by the methods revealed by Angelina's subordinates, his family knew his own affairs, Locke was an ordinary person a few months ago, and now he has unusual fighting strength, he is already very satisfied.
In addition to this, Locke feels more about the caution and caution of the upcoming battle. He hadn't forgotten that Charlotte was civilized with his magical prowess.
The beautiful fireworks of magic he had seen last night from the gates of Charlotte knew he couldn't even take a shot.
Luckily, Locke is agile and believes he can move around and dodge. After being promoted to a low-level squire, Locke has greatly improved in all aspects of his physical fitness. Ordinary privates, Locke doesn't need to be vindictive, and he can level three or four with his own strength alone.
After the magician left, Locke followed the soldiers to the front line in an orderly manner. Just now the baron's order also came down, and at the moment of the turn of the early morning, the relay of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Corps, which had just withdrawn, rushed forward.
Nobles like Baron Kaidozi, most of the siege battles in Otis City will not participate in person, all they do is to control the overall situation in the rear, at this time the main leader of each squadron is the squadron leader, at this time Locke and other squadron leaders have a lot of power.
Pinching a ring bracelet in his sleeve, Locke suddenly felt a little more secure. The illusion of precariousness on the battlefield before was mostly dispelled by this small magic item.
Activate it with Dou Qi, and a two-cubic-meter shield will appear next to you. This is how Locke knew to use it beforehand. There are not many of these things in the whole of Faustin, they are magic items that only belong to the royal family and the great nobles, and Locke doesn't know how Angelina got it for him.
In fact, this is one of the life-saving items that King Faustin sent to his daughter during this time, and if it weren't for the other few items that were too bloated and difficult to hide, Angelina would have given Locke more.
More and more soldiers from the Third Corps were withdrawn, most of them looking tired at this time, with more or less one or two wounds on their bodies. There are also even more ruthless ones who have lost their entire arms or thighs, and there are many skin bursts by the hot oil and water, which has brought a lot of shadows to the hearts of the soldiers of the Second Corps who are about to participate in the battle.
In the Locke battalion, the mercenaries recruited by Baron Kaidozi for a large amount of money were at the forefront at this time.
Having been bought by a large number of Dele, they knew that this was their time, and each of them took out their own weapons, which were different from the standard equipment of Faustin's soldiers, and these mercenaries had all kinds of equipment. Even strange weapons such as hooks and chains are included.
"You're all going to follow me!" shouted the bearded man who was the leader of the mercenaries.
