"Or we can concentrate the arrows on sharpshooters and target the Gog Demon. As for the other little demons, it can only be up to the warriors." At this time, Hart, who had not spoken yet, suggested.
"It's okay for a short time, but I'm afraid it won't last long. If the soldiers don't get strong cover from the arrow tower, the casualties will rise quickly." Hamilton shook his head and glanced at the other human soldiers on the wall. Most of these soldiers
Panting and resting against the wall, there were many injured.
"Yes, our troops are limited and cannot withstand the consumption."
Everyone understood that what Hamilton said was true, but the arrows were also "making ends meet", and the two sides were entangled, which can be said to be unsolvable.
"Lord Baron, is there any news about the messenger we sent to Windsor Castle to ask for help?"
Unexpectedly, Lord Rosser could only hope for the support of Viscount Salk. According to the aristocratic rules of Erathia, as one of the actual "leaders" of Kent County, Viscount Salk was obliged to fight in the war.
During this period, he provided protection to other nobles in the county.
"Unfortunately, no message has been sent back."
Baron Ensberg shook his head with a calm expression, as if he had expected such a result.
"The problem is that our information from the outside world has been cut off. Whether it is about Kent, Standwell or other parts of the kingdom, we know nothing. If this situation continues, I am worried about Yateburgh.
It will become a truly lonely city."
Compared to Baron Ensberg's "calmness", Lord Rother seems to be more anxious and dignified. As a veteran, he knows very well the iron law of "the city cannot defend itself". Even if the castle is twice as majestic, if
If other areas in Kent County are occupied by the demon army, then the fall of Yate Castle will only be a matter of time. Therefore, the primary issue at present is to understand the war situation in the county and even the whole kingdom as soon as possible. If it is really impossible to do
, but also to break out immediately before the absolute encirclement of the devil is formed and move closer to the royal capital.
However, without effective means of communication and without flying combat units such as aerial cavalry, it was really not easy for Fort Att to extend its tentacles outwards. Baron Ensberg also sent out reconnaissance cavalry several times in an attempt to cross the demon
The blockade was closed to communicate with the outside world. But unfortunately, no one who went out has come back alive.
"Wait a little longer, all we can do now is patience and persistence." Unable to imagine, the Baron could only encourage others in this way, and he also encouraged himself.
"Yes... hold on..." The old Lord also nodded.
"Look. What is that!? Something is flying here from the southeast!"
Just when the baron and the lord were talking and walking towards the castle, suddenly there was an exclamation in their ears. They both stopped at the same time, turned around and looked in the direction of the attendant's finger. Sure enough, in the distant sky, there was a vague cloud shape.
The white shadow was flying straight towards Fort Yat in the sunshine.
"Is it a devil!?"
Baron Ensberg's heart tightened instantly. At present, the defense pressure on Castle Art was already very high. If other demons with the ability to fly join the battle, the future war may be quite dangerous.
"Probably not." Lord Rother half-squinted his eyes, shaking his head with both certainty and hesitation: "There are only two types of demon flying units: the Fire Sultan and the Great Demon. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, it is definitely not like this.
of."
"Archers prepare!"
As the commander of the force, Hamilton issued an urgent order immediately. However, seeing that the white suspicious object was flying at a height of several hundred meters, it would be impossible for a human archer to shoot an arrow to such a height unless the opponent descended.
"My lord, please stay away first." Then, Hamilton immediately asked the baron to come down from the city, and he, Lord Rosser, Hart and others were waiting in full formation.
After about a few minutes, the "white cloud" approached, and everyone in the fort finally saw what was coming.
"That...that...that's a ship...?"
Looking at the full ship-shaped outer cabin of the Dayun, most of the Erathian natives were "tangled". They would never have imagined that there would be a "ship" sailing in the sky.
"What it is?"
Hart looked warily at the airship that was getting closer and closer. Out of the intuition of a mid-level warrior, he had vaguely felt the strange aura of a strong man floating in the air, and there were many of them.
"That's an airship! Bracada's goblin airship!"
At some point, Baron Ensberg, who had left, returned to the city wall, looking up at the "unexpected visitor" in the sky, with a rare look of excitement on his face.
"Brakada? So..." The old lord on the side reacted immediately.
"It should be reinforcements." The baron nodded.
"Reinforcements from Bracada?!"
Hearing this, Hamilton, Hart and others also cheered up. They had been looking forward to reinforcements from Viscount Salk for a long time, but they did not expect that what they were waiting for was military reinforcements from the far south of the magician's hometown.
"The airship is really a good thing. It has excellent maneuverability and can pass through enemy blockades and transport troops across regions. Otherwise, if we really have to rely on walking, I don't know when we will be able to reach Kent County."
Seeing such an "advanced" means of transportation, Lord Rosser also sighed.
"Strange, as usual, even if Brakada sends troops to support our country out of the Holy Alliance's oath, their first aid target should be the Fort on the southeastern border. It is closer to the Iof volcanic zone where the space rift is located.
, must be the main attack direction of the Demon Legion. Moreover, Fort Fort is relatively close to the northern border of Bracada, so the logistical pressure of nearby support will be much smaller."
But soon, Hamilton felt something strange, half analyzing and half guessing.
"So to say…"
Regarding military warfare, the Baron was not as sensitive as Hamilton and other professionals, but after hearing his reminder, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.
"It should be that he is back. Go and prepare. Clear the open space in the square to facilitate the landing of the airship." Putting away the surprise in his eyes, the baron turned to Hamilton and said.
"He...? Yes, sir!"
Lionheart was also very alert, but he understood what the baron meant in a moment, and immediately sent his deputies to the small square to the east of Castle Art to clear the place.
"baron?"
Lord Rosser on the side didn't understand the conversation between the two and couldn't help but ask.
"If my guess is correct, it is my eldest son who has rushed back." Baron Ensberg sighed with unknown meaning.
"You mean Moriarty!?"
This name has not appeared in the aristocratic circles of Kent for several years, and many people have even forgotten the former first heir of the Ensberg family. However, during the "Thieves' Rebellion" that year, the old Lord
He had fought side by side with Moriarty, and later participated in the "party" where the Ensberg family's inheritance rights were transferred, so he reacted immediately when it was mentioned.
"It should be, otherwise I can't think of any reinforcements from Bracada that would have traveled thousands of miles to come here in Kent." At this time, the baron put away the strange color on his face and returned to his usual calmness.
While talking, the Dayun was already very close to the airspace above Fort Yate. The demons outside the castle also looked at the sudden arrival of the airship, looking either confused, manic, or provocative. In contrast, the demons inside the castle
There were cheers one after another. Because at this time, many people had clearly seen the newly sprayed "Earth" emblem on the huge airbag of the Dayun, and this pattern was very important to Enns, who had taken over a lot of "import agency business" from the Alchemy Studio.
It is very familiar to the Borg family caravan system.
"White, tell Tony, prepare to land. The opponent has cleared the site. Pay attention to possible overhead crosswinds when descending. The terrain in the castle is narrow, so pay attention to safety."
On the deck, looking at Castle Art in front of him, Moriarty felt both familiar and unfamiliar. The original town had already been replaced by a brand new castle, and it no longer looked like what he remembered.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
White also looked at the Art Castle below, but was surprised by its extraordinary shape, especially the unique dual active defense system of iron thorns and magical plants, which made him even more amazed.
"Your Excellency, do you want to send someone down to stabilize the landing site?"
At this time, out of professional habit, Clausewitz suggested to his superior officer.
"...Send Gunfire down first, followed by the Sword and Shield Company. Everyone else will stay on the airship for the time being."
Moriarty thought for a while and ordered. This was not only responsible for the safety of his own team to prevent unpredictable attacks when he hurriedly disembarked, but also left the non-human race warriors at the end to avoid the confusion during the first meeting.
Misunderstand.
"Yes." The old werewolf immediately turned around and gave the order.
Ten minutes later, the huge hull of the Dayun finally hovered steadily one meter away from the ground in the small square of Fort Yate. On the edge of the square, escorted by a group of Euphorbias and Hamilton, Baron Ensberg had already
Waiting.
"Click!"
The port door on one side fell gently. Under the leadership of Gustav, the gunnery team stepped off the airship first, and then divided into two groups to guard the two ends of the Dayun. Then, the armored infantry platoon of the Sword and Shield Company
They followed in two columns and set up a larger defensive circle around the airship.
"Your Excellency, Baron, Moriarty is truly extraordinary. Look at this military formation and these soldiers. They are obviously elite soldiers who have been tempered on the battlefield. I heard that Bracada was still fighting a civil war not long ago. I think he also went to the battlefield.
.”
Lord Rosser stood next to the Baron, praising the stranger in front of him in a deep voice. As a veteran mid-level, he could naturally see that the armored warriors of the Sword and Shield Company were at least second-level warriors, and all members of the Gunsling Team were
Level 3 or 4. With such strength, they are truly elite everywhere. Even though there are many private armies of nobles gathered in Yatta Castle at this moment, the real elite soldiers gathered together are only of this quality.
It can be said that Moriarty has already taken the lead before he shows up. (To be continued...)
