"Damn it! Retreat!"

On the high ground in the north of the Western Post Tower, Shigru swung his axe hard and stood on this high ground. He saw the battle at the Western Post Tower. He had already seen the situation very well, but he was preparing to take a few confidants to receive the fruits of victory. However, after seeing the sudden appearance of the skeleton army, he hesitated for a moment.?

It was this hesitation that saved his life and did not lose all his wealth, but it also made him lose the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. If he took advantage of the situation and took more than a dozen of his top combat powers into the battle, the victory or defeat was unknown.

However, he hesitated. Although Shigru, who was in his forties, was still at his peak in his strength, he had long lost the passion of his courage to fight. Otherwise, when the mage group entered the field, he would have taken his personal guards to the battlefield, completely crushing the opponent's fighting spirit.

However, now everything has been said, the opponent has slowly gathered the soldiers and reorganized the formation. There are also a circle of skeletons outside the city. If you put these dozen top combat powers into the battlefield, you will undoubtedly use meat buns to beat the dog. It is better to take advantage of the battle in the city and retreat early with your confidant.

Shigru looked at the western post tower for the last time, turned around and left with a look of reluctance.

"Boss, this is the Gray Swamp Fortress...uh!"

A confidant approached Sigru and raised his hand to point to the west. However, before he finished speaking, his head was chopped off by an axe. His head rolled on the ground twice, and his already stiff face was still full of confusion.

"Boss, this..."

"My men don't need idiots, let's go straight to the north."

"Do you need to notify the brothers in the fort?"

"Notification?" Shiglu showed a cruel smile. "Isn't it better to let them attract Xueman's attention for us?"

Looking at the grim smile on the face of his boss, several confidants suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and an invisible estrangement gradually formed between them and Higlu...

The next morning, after a short rest for a night, Celica gathered her guards and prepared to return to Heddle Manor, and brought more troops to capture the Gray Swamp Fortress in one go.

"Soya, thanks to you this time."

Celica nodded to Saoya, and the soldiers behind her also saluted Saoya and others. If it weren't for Saoya and Rick yesterday, these people might have stayed here forever.

"Nodia, wait for me to bring the army to avenge my brothers together!"

Looking at Nodia with a sad face on the ruins on the city wall, Celica walked up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting the man who seemed to be stunning.

"Don't worry, I'll tear them apart with my own hands."

Nodya nodded, his tone full of bloody murderous intent.

Celica sighed again, turned her horse over, waved her spear, and left the western post with most of the troops.

In yesterday's battle, although Rick's skeleton destroyed the enemy's spellcaster troops and turned the situation around in one fell swoop, Xueman's side still suffered heavy losses.

Celika, Nodia, and Aye have to be exhausted and need to be at least three days to recover. The doctor overdraws his mental power and needs to be relieved for almost two days. Rick simply fell into a coma and didn't know how long it took to wake up. Compared to them, the little injuries that Sawyer and Filina suffered were not a problem.

The soldiers' losses were even heavier. The five hundred Heddle guards brought by Celica were more than half of them, more than two hundred people were killed in battle, nearly 100 were seriously injured, and everyone else was injured. Although the Xueman garrison stayed in the rear, the entire army was wiped out due to the "monster" Barrow's advance, and only two priest teams survived.

Among the people who died in battle, more than one hundred died at the hands of Barrow. If the poisonous arrows handed over by Sawyer to Becky took effect, what would have happened to the war?

After everyone saw Celica away, the western post was completely empty. Fortunately, the skeletons summoned by Rick did not disintegrate. After he was unconscious, he was temporarily taken over by Isdak, and distributed the hundred skeletons around the sentry camp to act as temporary guardians for the western post.

After everything was arranged, everyone completely relaxed. But the next moment, an unbearable soreness surged from every corner of their body, and everyone couldn't help but suck the air conditioner.

However, after seeing the twisted expressions on the other people's faces, everyone started to laugh again. After laughing, the corners of their mouths twitched in pain. Then they laughed and twitched again. A kind of happiness called living filled the entire camp.

After three days of renovation of the western post tower, on the fourth day, when it was almost noon, Celica finally arrived with a large army, and a engineering team of more than 200 people arrived.

Celica brought more than a thousand troops this time. Although she was not an elite force like the Heddle Guard, she was at least the best among the regular army. Even more than half of the grassroots officers met the standards of elite troops!

After the troops took a short rest at the western post tower, they went directly to the Gray Swamp Fortress. The size of more than a thousand people even scared away the two saber-toothed tigers for food.

One earlier than the large army was Rick and his skeleton troops. Skeletons may be able to increase morale a little when fighting to the death, but if you can't walk with the human army on a normal basis, it will definitely lower the morale of the human army. After all, things like the undead will always be rejected by living people.

Also on the way with Rick are Sawyer, Aye and Isdak. After all, Rick just woke up from a coma last night and is still a little weak now. Firina is because the wound has not completely healed, Sawyer leaves the doctor in the camp to take care of her.

As the evening approached, Sawyer's team finally arrived at the Gray Swamp Fortress. Instead of ordering a siege, he led his troops around the fortress for half a circle, playing "missing" in the nervous eyes of the robbers in the fortress.

Half an hour later, Celica also rushed over with a large army. The size of thousands of people scared the robbers' thighs, but they still held their bows and crossbows on the walls of the fortress.

"The number of people is wrong. The enemies guarding the fortress are between four hundred and five hundred. It should be the remnants of two other large robbers who took over here."

Celica just glanced at it and judged the approximate number of enemies in the fortress. In conjunction with the information obtained from the prisoners, the current situation was clear at a glance.

"Or else, I'll take people to attack directly!"

Nodya frowned, and his every move was full of evil spirits. He never forgot that his brothers were all dead in the hands of these miscellaneous people.

"Wait first, believe Sawyer."

Celica reached out to stop Nodya. The battle a few days ago had a great blow to this Nord man. Now only her words can calm down.

"good."

Nodia nodded, stepped forward and shouted: "Let me listen to the people inside! Give you ten minutes to put down your weapons and come out to surrender! Otherwise, kill!"

A robber with the appearance of a leader on the city wall sneered and was about to refute, but he saw Nodia's blood-red eyes, his throat choked, and he couldn't say anything harsh to his mouth.

There was a silence on the city wall. Many people secretly put down the crossbow in their hands, turned around and glanced at their respective lords, raised them slightly, but they did not aim directly at the army under the city as before.

"The opposite side has lost its morale and is not worth worrying."

Silica saw the movements on the city wall and couldn't help but sneer. There was a hint of disdain on her cold and frosty face. She looked back at Nodya, who was getting more and more murderous intent, and her expression calmed down slightly, comforting her: "Don't worry, let's leave it to you when those leaders are executed."

Nodia looked at Celica for a while before nodding heavily: "Okay!"

The waiting time is always torment. Just five minutes have passed, but the robbers on the city wall feel that there is an era that has lasted for so long.

"You guys have five minutes left!"

Nodya stood up and shouted again. The sudden sound scared the robbers on the city wall. Several people even shot the arrows in their hands inadvertently, splashing a few pieces of smoke and dust on the battlements at the top of the city.

Just when the robbers were unconscious, the gate of the castle was quietly opened in the fortress. The heavy wooden door rubbed against the ground. The subtle sound was covered by the robbers' commotion, and no one noticed it.

"Don't wait, just surrender."

A clear voice suddenly sounded, and several leaders who retreated to the back were about to look back to see who bewitched the crowd, but they found that there was a sharp blade on their necks at some point.

Tag.

The sound of the wooden bow body contacting the bluestone ground reactivated everyone's thinking, but the sound of weapons falling became more and more dense.

The robbers turned around and found that their bosses were kidnapped by a group of skeletons, but it was the skeleton unit that suddenly disappeared before. Behind the skeleton unit, a young man was sneering at the robbers on the city wall.

"Surrender."

The young man spoke again, and the skeletons gathered together moved, and they ran up the city wall with their weapons, crossed the robbers, and stood all over the entire city wall.

Although the robbers were passing by the skeletons, they did not dare to take action at all. If they attacked now, they would definitely die. If they surrendered, they might be able to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Although several robber leaders were not hostage in front of the castle gate, they still did not dare to move because there were three skeletons in front of the young man. Although they could only block the people like him for a moment, it was enough for the young man to hide in the castle.

"Now, give you one last chance, a chance to be innocent."

The young man sneered again, but the information revealed in the cold words made the robbers on the city wall boil. The young man raised his hand and pointed his right in front of him and continued:

"Whoever killed one of them is innocent!"

Several robber leaders were thrown into the ice field of the winter fort naked. Their bodies became stiff in an instant and turned slowly like mechanically. However, they found that the eyes of their former subordinates showed wolf-like eyes, which was the killing**...

The shouts of killing in the fort lasted only half a minute and disappeared. The gate of the fortress was opened, and robbers came out in line. The front several were holding their heads in their hands, but their faces were filled with strange joy, looking weird and scary.

Following the robbers were Sawyer, Rick and Aye. They were welcomed like heroes as soon as they appeared. Instead, Celica and Nodia looked calm and said, "I knew this would be like this long ago."
