Section 23
Damn the people of the imperial capital, they actually use poison!" An officer couldn't help but scold.
"Retreat first!" Pedi frowned, and as he retreated, he used his holy power to expel the toxins that surrounded the army.
The knights of the convoy retreated slowly, cooperating to fend off the rain of arrows and magic from the opposite side, while guarding against the rock golems that might reappear.
The imaginary pursuit did not come,
The defenders in the midst of the battle also retreated with a burst of orders after two volleys.
During the retreat, Pedi encountered the 1st Infantry Army of the Kingdom that had then stormed the city through the gap.
After a short period of thought, Pedi did not rush to advance, and he ordered his troops to personally organize the 1st Infantry Group to storm the defenders' positions near the left and right walls of the city gates.
Half an hour later, at the foot of the inner city walls, the enemy and our soldiers were in a group, and Andy Barrett, who was storming the walls, and a corps of musketeers led by him also managed to climb the inner city steps to the city walls.
An hour later, the Kingdom's 2nd Mixed Army entered the city wall through the gap, and Peidi, who had organized the battle in the inner city, immediately ordered the 2nd Mixed Army to break through from other street entrances, trying to encircle the defenders under the wall.
However, the commander of the defending forces soon realized that something was wrong and decisively abandoned the fighting troops and retreated from both flanks towards Victory Square.
Willing to give up such a good opportunity, he immediately ordered all his troops to attack at all costs, and finally joined the pursuit himself.
Two hours later,
Exhausted, Pedi received a report from the scouts that the eastern and western districts had successfully occupied the walled areas and were engaged in street battles with the defenders in the inner city blocks.
It was as if the victory was already in the hands of the Confederates, and it went much smoother than expected.
At six o'clock, as the sunset on the horizon showed its beauty, the Confederates succeeded in taking most of the inner city and advancing the battle line beyond Victory Square.
Pedi was not in a hurry to order an attack on the Lion Castle, and when night fell, he held a simple celebration of today's daytime victory in the outer city headquarters.
Although it is a bit early to hold a celebration party at this time, now that Peidi is leading more than just the kingdom's army, after a hearty victory, holding a small gathering can not only deepen the relationship between the parties, but also increase the morale of the troops.
"Didn't you hate going to banquets the most before?" said Andy Barrett as he stood beside the King, and everyone kept a polite distance from them.
"Too many words of ridicule seem a bit deliberate. Pedi gently clinked glasses with her cousin and left the place.
"Your Majesty Pedi. The Orc Prince Ribalo stepped forward while the Human King was temporarily unaround, "It's an honor to be able to fight alongside you. β
"It is also my honour, Your Highness. Pedi smiled in response.
"I spoke with Wolfma today, they live well here, and they respect your rule. Ribalo looked at the king in front of him, "I'm glad that orcs and humans can live in the same village as brothers, and we have some people who have also made efforts in this regard, but in the end it didn't work. β
"No, they succeeded. Pei Di subconsciously thought of the figure of Morinda in his mind, "The toast and chat here now is the best proof of this." He had a friendly smile on his face.
Ribalo was stunned for a moment, then smiled even brighter.
"The Kingdom of Kruria welcomes any orc immigrants who reciprocate the goodwill. Pedi said with a good-natured smile on his face, "Now in the territory of the Kingdom of Kruria, there are not only orcs, but also goblins, dwarves, werewolves, and even the northern Baruans have settled with us. He spread his hands, "I welcome all good people." β
"You have the same idea as our great Khan, and I am sure you will be able to talk about it. Ribalo said, raising his glass and drinking it down.
"That's good news for me, I like allies who share the same idea. β
"Well," Ribalo looked at Peidi seriously, "We, the Khan, would like to be able to come to Suk City to talk to you in person, and the Khan has been looking forward to meeting you since three years ago. β
"It's really my pleasure," Pedi smiled, sincerely, "butβ" he looked around, "but it's obviously not a good time to talk about it, and maybe we can talk about it after we win this war." β
"Oh, by the way..."Pei Di deliberately stretched out his voice very long, "Regarding the undead army's main force suddenly moving south to attack Feld Territory, what is the plan of King Shikan Khan?"
"The orcs will not sit idly by and watch the undead legions act recklessly. Ribalo immediately stated, "We have invested nearly 300,000 kran in defending against the undead army this year, which is half of our fiscal revenue last year. "After Shikan-Silveraxe integrated the orc tribes to establish the Kamock Khanate, they used their own currency, and they named the new currency after the Klan Territory to commemorate the victory in the Battle of the Klan Territory.
"Please don't underestimate the undead legion going south this time. Seeing Ribalo's indifferent look, Pedy's smiling face gradually became serious, "If the Felder Territory is occupied by the undead legion, we will become very passive in the future war. β
Ribalo frowned and didn't respond to the words.
"The Undead Legion can't be connected to the ocean, otherwise... Terrible things will happen. β
As the tribal leader of the original Ice Maple Clan, Ribalo certainly knew what it meant to touch the ocean, and he frowned and said, "I will make your point clear to the Khan King, but fighting the undead army doesn't just require us, maybe your strength. β
"You see," Pedi looked around, "and when I'm done here, I'll focus on dealing with the undead legions." β
"Allow me, then, to accompany you as an ally in the meantime. β
"That's exactly what I wanted. β
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end here, and then after some unnutritious words, Ribaro left on his own, and walked to the other side to chat with Mo Gao.
Anse Zora walked up at this point, followed by Minnie Vatu.
"The battle for Sukh City will soon be over. Anse Zorla holds up a tall beer.
"Of course. Pedi replied with a smile, he'd heard it countless times today.
"What are your plans after this war?" This is not the first time Pedi has solicited Anse Zora.
Anse Zora glanced at Minnie Vatu beside her, "After this battle, my children should also be successful in graduating from the Mage Tower, I have purchased a piece of land in the eastern forest of Drake, where I will spend the rest of my life. β
"Thinking about retirement so early?" said Pedi.
"I have spent my whole life in the army, and I want to live for myself for the rest of my life. Anse Zora shrugged.
"But next we're going to face the undead legions..."
"You have gained the trust of everyone..."Anse Zora looked around the hall at the rest of the hall, "the countless warriors of the Continent of Alan will be gathered under your command, the undead army may seem so untouchable and powerful now, but I believe that they are no match for the power of all the living in the Continent of Ellen. β
With that, Anse Zora bowed slightly and left the king, walking towards the generals of the nearby mage tower.
"He was a man of integrity. Minnie Vatu looked at Anse Zora who was leaving, and commented softly.
Pedi didn't answer, he raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip and asked, "I think... You must have something to report, right?"
"An hour ago, the main force of the elves and the army of nearly 200,000 undead fought a decisive battle in the plains near the southern mountains of Esbo. Minnie Vatu lowered her voice, "The current news is... The Elven Kingdom is in an absolute advantage. β
"Is this good news?" asked Pedi.
"The million-strong army of the undead that we detected did not show up. Minnie Vatu's voice was low in the noisy banquet, "Although the Elven Kingdom values the information we provide, they still choose to face off against the undead legions. β
"That's because they know very well what kind of disaster the Undead Legion will bring as they continue to invade Feld. Pedi took a deep breath and felt a little hot on his face, "It's us who dragged the elf back. β
"Everyone," Pedi walked to the middle of the hall with his glass in his high, his face shining by the light of the light on his face showing a serious expression, "We're going to end this war in two days!"
...
After yesterday's exhilarating battle, most of the buildings in the inner city of Suker City were burned, and the smoke and dust swirled over the city all night, and the dust on the streets, roads, and roofs of houses made the whole city gray.
The beautiful morning glow seemed to mock the city's former prosperity.
Outside Victory Square, under the watchful eyes of countless defenders, Andy Barrett walked towards the gate of the Lion Castle in full view of everyone, and walked outside the Lion Castle moat without any hindrance.
The walls of the Lion Castle, which were dismantled during the city-state period, have been rebuilt and strengthened over the past three years, with many arrow towers and attics.
With the rotation of the gears, the huge suspension bridge inlaid with stainless steel is slowly lowered.
The person who showed up at the gate was Karene Sibo, and Andy Barrett was a little disappointed, but he quickly reined in his disappointment and exchanged greetings with Karene Sibo.
"You should let Penny down, I want to meet her. Anse Barrett stared at Karene Sibo, "It's about your future fate. β
"Chief Penny doesn't want to see you. Karene Sibo was formulaic and old-fashioned, "Our future doesn't matter, don't threaten us with this, it will seem like you're naΓ―ve." β
"In the past, everyone in this city laughed at my childishness, even my father and my brother, but now most of them are either in hell or singing praises in the kingdom of God. Andy smiled, but the words he said were full of murderous intent.
"You've put yourself in such a dangerous situation. Karen-Sibo pointed to the soldiers around her, "That's what you're talking about?"
"I have come to meet Penny, my dearest sister. β
"The chief doesn't want to see you. β
"Well," Andy looked inside the Lion Castle behind Karen-Sibo, where a group of soldiers with shields and spears were waiting solemnly, "Do you really plan to continue resisting? β
"What will your king do to us if we surrender?"
Andy frowned, because the words 'your king' in Karen-Sibo's words made him uncomfortable, but he didn't refute it.
"Let's end this war and do something more meaningful. Andy looked around, "If you surrender, you will be restored to the noble titles of the Imperial period and continue your previous days of peace. β
"Thank you for me, King Pedi, but... We have only one war. Karene Sibo shook her head.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
...
"Buzz"
A series of horns resounded throughout the inner city at eight o'clock in the morning, and a salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces was followed by a series of explosions, and Victory Square was instantly covered in flames.
"Charge!"
The Orc Brigade and the Paladin Legion took the lead in storming the defensive line of Victory Square from various neighborhoods.
In just half an hour, the defense line of Victory Square was breached, and the paladins who opened the way in front used holy power to disperse possible poisonous gases and evil energy, and the mages also acted in small teams to monitor possible magic traps, and began to build a magic circle strong enough to deal with the existing forbidden spell strikes.
Two hours later, the Confederates poured into Victory Square.
By this time, the artillery had changed the target of the bombardment and was aimed at the walls of the Lion Castle. Under the cover of artillery and muskets, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Army, carrying the prepared gravel and ears of wheat, began to fill the moat under the cover of large shield installations.
At the front command, Pedi was accompanied by the generals to observe the battle ahead.
"The attack went even better than expected. "But it went so well. β
"Yes, you see... They didn't even use the magic shield like they had before, and the fiery rock golems went there?" Lundin-Reagan frowned, he didn't like the feeling of uncertainty.
"What's the reaction of the magic monitoring devices everywhere?" Peddy prefers to use actual information to help him make a decision rather than speculate.
"Everything is fine, even... There were no violent fluctuations in the Lion Castle. Leah shook her head, "Evil power is even less there. β
"Send more paladins and mages to prevent any accidents from happening. β
"Yes!" the commanders of the mage and paladin units responded immediately, and quickly issued military orders to their respective heralds.
Pei Di was still staring at the battlefield ahead, "I need the Mage Tower to build a corresponding magic circle to suppress the magic energy elements inside the Lion Castle and prevent possible forbidden strikes." β
"This is reassuring, as early as the attack on the inner city, it was still ready for this. β
"Very good!" Pei Di put down his lookout glasses and smiled with satisfaction, "From now on, the logistics department will supply unlimited amounts of magic energy crystals for the First Army, and strive to fill the moat within two days." β
