MacArthur fled with only elite troops and left through the tunnel without alerting the defenders on the city wall.
Unbeknownst to the defenders of Huon Fortress, their commander fled.
They watched in horror as the city's shield slowly weakened, but there was nothing they could do.
"The shield is broken, quickly hide in the bunker."
Someone shouted loudly.
The defenders had long been hiding in bunkers. These bunkers were built underground and were blessed with magic circuits. They were used to defend against forbidden magic attacks.
The soldier looked up at the trembling ceiling and began to pray in his heart.
At this moment, they are not only believers of the Omniscient Church, but also the most sincere believers of the Creation Sect, who only seek to be blessed by the gods.
The explosion lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped. The Forbidden Curse Dungeon successfully defended the Merox Empire's attack.
It's just that many people looked disgraced. They looked at each other with no trace of joy on their faces, but full of fear.
Because next is the attack of the Merox Empire army.
"General MacArthur has escaped."
As all the soldiers waited nervously and fearfully for the order, a rapid voice sounded.
The soldiers who were still able to maintain order immediately became chaotic. Not only the soldiers, but also the free people who had taken refuge together began to panic.
Soon the news of MacArthur's escape was confirmed, and he was accompanied by elite military nobles. More than 70% of the professionals disappeared secretly, and the underground city was in chaos for a while.
The chaos did not last long. The passage to the dungeon was found. Two great mentor-level men took the lead and walked into the dungeon. The terrifying pressure unfolded at the same time.
The people in the underground city and ordinary soldiers were so frightened that they trembled.
The professionals who remained in the army and were not taken away were basically ordinary people, and their highest level of cultivation was only a sixth-level swordsman.
"Send your representatives out. Whether you want to surrender or fight, you make your own choice."
"That's Kaz, the great master of the Melox Empire!"
Someone recognized Kaz's identity and whispered a reminder.
In the quiet underground city, its sound reaches most people's ears very clearly.
Many people turned pale instantly.
In front of the Grand Mentor-level powerhouses, the weapons in their hands have no effect, especially in a narrow space like a dungeon.
"Kaz, the most powerful knight instructor in the Melox Empire!"
A certain middle-class man who had read the Valencia Gazette shouted in horror.
Because two great master-level warriors in Valencia died at the hands of Kaz, in order to promote domestic propaganda, naturally we cannot say that our own army is inferior to the enemy. We can only promote Kaz's power, thus becoming a demon in the hearts of the Valencian people.
Kaz.
The Grand Mage standing next to Kaz is Ma Long, who was born in the Dragon Sword Army. His strength can definitely defeat Kaz. He would not even be in the top thirty in the ranking of the Empire's Grand Master-level powerhouses.
Hearing that Kaz had such a popular title, Ma Long teased and said, "The most powerful knight mentor."
Kaz was extremely embarrassed. He usually enjoyed being called such a title, but in front of his colleagues, he was immediately put to death.
Kaz said bravely: "They are all Grand Mentor-level experts from the Principality of Valencia. They are too weak."
"oh!"
Ma Long responded with a deliberately long voice.
A sixth-level swordsman was pushed out. He looked at the two great master-level experts in front of him with a complex expression.
"I am Petrovich Esko! I am the current top officer of Huon Fortress."
Petrovich's face was full of bitterness when he said this.
All the high-level officials of the fortress were gone, leaving only him as a marginalized person. It makes me feel sad to think about it.
Kaz raised his head and said coldly: "Oh, then I will only give you three seconds to consider your decision."
In Ma Long's eyes, all this is just showing off.
Petrovich said: "We are willing to surrender and ask your army to give our prisoners the treatment they deserve."
Kaz promised: "As long as you accept the reform honestly, I will never persecute anyone here."
Petrovich also breathed a sigh of relief.
"With His Majesty Kaz's guarantee, I feel relieved."
"Your Majesty!?" Malone gave Kaz a strange look.
Kaz quickly explained: "His Majesty is the honorific title given to a powerful person at the level of Grand Master."
"oh!"
The Battle of Huon Fortress ended faster than expected. The fortress that the Principality of Valencia spent a lot of money to build could not hold out for even two days under the attack of the United Army.
The defenders of Huon Fortress came out of the underground city in an orderly manner, holding their rifles high, throwing their rifles aside, then squatting down towards the ruins not far away with their heads in their hands.
The civilians who came out from behind had expressions of fear and uneasiness. They didn't even have the courage to look directly at the United Army soldiers. They all lowered their heads and acted honestly according to the instructions.
Arturia descended from the sky, glanced at the ruins of Huon Fortress, and then headed to the underground city.
She was also shocked by the huge dungeon of Huon Fortress.
Arturia made a quick decision.
"Use this place as the expeditionary force headquarters, repair the fortress as soon as possible, train the Imperial Alliance Army, and prepare for future wars."
The underground city has dense passages, and there are many open caves that can be used as warehouses. As long as it is developed properly, it can be developed into an underground city.
News of the fall of Fortress Huon quickly spread throughout Valencia.
In order to avoid being executed for escaping from battle, MacArthur proposed the theory of guerrilla warfare, a new tactic of using elite highly mobile troops to ambush the United Army using the terrain and retreat with one blow.
In order to escape punishment, he also volunteered to become the commander of the 1st Guerrilla Brigade to block the unified army's offensive.
On the other side, President Ella came to the border base under the protection of St. Paul and St. Bernard. He looked at the integrated military base that had gradually taken shape with a complicated expression.
President Ella said: "The speed of the unified army is beyond imagination. It seems that they are not planning to attack us for the time being. They are preparing to digest Valencia before marching towards us."
St. Paul nodded in agreement.
"This is in line with the United Army's long-standing combat style. Starting from the Andnus region, in every region captured by the Melox Empire, reactionary forces rarely appear. The local nobles are either liquidated or surrendered. Over time,
The central plains are in danger."
St. Bernard also expressed his thoughts.
"Fight steadily! The Melox Empire is the empire that occupies the least territory since the outbreak of the Outer Continent War, but its territory is the most stable. The United Army will integrate local surrender troops and become a second-line force to suppress local armed forces. This is consistent with Lord Amuro's appeasement
Almost like an army."
President Ella nodded and said: "Amuro has traveled to most of the central plains and even to the outer continent. It is normal to have seen these things. From this point of view, Amuro is right. The outer continent is
We have made very rapid progress in the past few years, but we are still basking in the glory of the past.”
