Chapter 45: The Fall

When the Norman army, led by Egil, defeated the Mongolian army that was rushing towards us continuously. After finally reaching the inner castle, the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. △ One of the most solid buildings in the entire fortress group, which could provide reliable defense support. After several unsuccessful attacks, the Mongolians also found that it was difficult for them to break through the solid inner castle without siege machinery. Unlike the other city walls, the inner castle did not have a secret passage design. So the Mongolian army tentatively fought for a while and then retreated.

"You can breathe a sigh of relief for the moment." Egil thought so in his heart, and then sat on the ground. He closed his eyes and didn't want to say a word. After Sonia signaled, she ignored the blood on Egil's body and wanted to help him remove the armor.

"No, no need." The situation was urgent, and he waved his hand and barely smiled: "I can't say that I'll go to the battlefield again in a while. It would be very troublesome without this armor." At this point, Egil paused for a moment, hesitated a little, but in the end, he still untied the blood-stained and dirty white fox cloak.

"But I'm afraid there is no way to get this one. And it's very troublesome to fight with this thing..." Despite this, Egil was still reluctant to leave. After all, it was something that had been with him for many years. I don't know if I could get another one in my lifetime... You know, it's hard to find a white fox alone. The material for making this thing was the softest piece of fur under the white fox's armpit. Back then, for Egil, I almost made the Nordic white fox extinct...

Hearing Egil say this, Sonia stopped moving, lowered her head, and stood beside Egil, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, Egil heard footsteps coming from beside her - Artoria, who had only a lot more blood on her armor than Egil, walked in, and sat next to him like Egil.

Unlike Egil, Artoria does not kill people to recover her physical strength, which is a convenient feature. Bieria is different from mental fatigue. Artoria can be said to be exhausted both physically and mentally (in a very bad situation.

"What happened? Why did the other party suddenly rush in?" Although very tired, Artoria still asked.

"I've been plotted against - I don't know who it is. But it's definitely a Moscow man, this is impossible to be wrong." When talking about this, Egil was full of resentment. He gave people the feeling that if he was given a chance to avoid this situation, he would be willing to kill all the people in the Principality of Moscow.

"Is that?" This question is not the point. For Artoria, who has developed limbs and simple minds, it doesn't matter who the enemy is. As long as there is an enemy, it's enough. The key is her next question: "What should we do now?"

"It's still the same. Try to gather the defeated troops as much as possible. Then break through... There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight in the second line of defense. And after suffering this loss, I will not be fooled again for the second time." Egil said.

"Yeah." After hearing Egil say this, Artoria felt relieved. She closed her eyes and leaned against Egil. It seemed that she was preparing to take a little rest. After a while, Artoria, who was leaning against Egil, snored quietly.

Egil turned his head and looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly but still looked very tired. He sighed in slightest and then leaned against Artoria and fell asleep deeply.

That night, more Norman soldiers poured into the inner castle, causing Egil to sleep for less than an hour, so he had to force himself to get up, soothe the morale of the army, cheer up the soldiers, and reorganize the army, take a break from his busy schedule, and comfort a few frightened girls. When something happened, Nightingale and the medical soldiers were all together, with many regular troops guarding it, so he retreated smoothly.

Maria's situation is a bit complicated. Because she is in the barracks where Egil is located, there are many troops guarding her. However, she is relatively fiercely attacked. Maria's system, which is mostly going to lose when encountering war, is also very bad. On several occasions, Maria even planned to use the dagger that Egil gave her before. Fortunately, she is also a love affair with Maria in a while.

Although after Egil's training, the Palestinian female prince has been completely sank towards the direction of the cat girl recently. However, as a wild beast, as the strongest assassination weapon of the Assassin Sect, the strength of the female prince is still beyond the imagination of a group of Mongolian barbarians. They are bare-handed and their minions are killing among the Mongols as weapons. Aien quickly opened a path among the crowd. Maria is safe as a result.

I had a good time with Egil. Now among the girls in the fortress, the easiest one is probably Bamami. The musketeers of the general were in the logistics and baggage and engineering camps before the accident. She was with her the most elite guards of the Norman Empire.

Facing the invading Mongolian army, the Imperial Guards were armed at an extremely fast speed. Then, under the command of Bamami, they cut melons and vegetables to defeat batches of Mongolians, and protected the baggage troops and engineers to escape to the vicinity of the inner castle.

In addition, the commanders of several other regular army corps, together with their corps, successfully retreated into the inner city after losing a little. However, the five standard corps and a Hussar corps, which were originally close to 30,000, were left with less than 20,000 people.

The Norman army, which continued to increase towards the inner castle, seemed to have stimulated the Mongols. After more than three hours, the Mongols gathered tens of thousands of troops again and launched an attack on the inner castle where the Norman Empire gathered and the square within the fourth city wall. The melee continued until dawn. The Mongols retreated for the time being, leaving a mess.

In the fortress on the right side of Egil, Normand had at least resisted it. There was an inner fortress and some inner cities. In addition, there were also sporadic troops who continued to resist in other parts of the fortress. However, on the left, there were no fortresses, but the situation was very bad. Most of the fortresses had fallen. The Norman army was killed, fled, and captured more than 70%. There were still a small number of troops resisting desperately, but it seemed only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out...

On March 22, 1010 AD, the results of this battle have been confirmed. With the Mongols investing 400,000 troops one after another, the Normans lost their strong fortress due to their wrong tactics and the defense bonus has greatly reduced, the final result of the battle ended with the victory of the Mongols.

There were more than 300,000 in total, Norman and his allies were killed and killed. Nearly 200,000 troops were killed. Although it would not cause any damage to the Norman Empire, it was enough for Egil to have a headache for a long time.

The Mongols also suffered a lot of losses. Those who were burned and killed in the violent flames, died because of their own tramplings. Those who were killed because of the Normans' struggle to resist... A total of more than 100,000 Mongolian troops were killed. However, considering that their achievements as the attacking party were enough to be praised.

"It's really... so bad." After roughly estimating the loss, Egil said with a little pain, grabbing his messy hair. Around him, the Norman Generals who barely escaped, and the Allied Generals also seemed very silent. But there was a vague expectation in this silence. Egil, who led their Egil, could come up with a way to turn the world.

There is one thing to note here. The so-called "all generals, not including Moscow's general Semenovsky. After this battle, he was imprisoned by Egil on the charge of false charges of suspected spies. Although he also knew in his heart that the old general was mostly unaware of this matter. But who told him to be the senior Moscow officer closest to Egil? Who would you take revenge if you don't take revenge? It would be good if you don't kill him.

"So what should we do next?" After a period of embarrassment, Artoria, who sat next to Egil and had the highest status, asked in his place.

"We have no value for defense in the fortress." Egil said very decisively and without any hesitation. His speech also made the generals feel much more relaxed - although it was impossible to turn the world around, it was a good ending to be able to escape from this ghost place.

"Now I assigned tasks. Please listen to everyone." So Egil continued: "Artolia, you and Pamamei are the pioneers, commanding the Imperial Guards to open up a road to the West, and clear out the blocking enemies.

"Yes, Lord."

"Leave it to me."

Egil nodded, and then continued, "Anderson, Evan, Hans, Sura, Ivan, Joseph. You are leading the troops and 50,000 recruits to protect the baggage, engineers, battlefield hospitals and other personnel. Be sure to save more troops and supplies."

"I understand." Several generals of Norman nodded, indicating that they knew their mission.

"His Majesty Attila, Grand Duke Carl. Please lead your respective troops and act together with Anderson and others." For the soldiers of the Allied Army, Egil used the word "please" and obtained the consent of the two commanders.

"What about you?" Artoria was a little curious, and Egil assigned everyone's tasks. But he had not said what he wanted to do.

"I, of course, cut off the rear." Egil smiled slightly and said such natural words... (To be continued...
