Chapter 198 City Guards Children~Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no movement from the Four Heavenly Kings, but the military headquarters, imperial soldiers, and the Holy See’s Crusaders have successively entered this place.
The originally peaceful forest town broke the usual order here.
The soldiers of the empire guarded the northeastern sides of the Fire King's fortress, and the military headquarters stayed in the south. The Crusaders naturally blocked the official forces such as the West Gate. The upper management first held a meeting, and finally decided to temporarily unite to take down this black city in one fell swoop.
An army of thieves led by a thief
In their eyes, the Fire King Fortress seemed to be a helpless beauty, waiting for them to stretch out their hands and tear off the thin gauze-like clothes.
There are two commanders from the military department, one is Stanley, and there is another iron-faced figure named Shabak. Shabak seldom talks on weekdays. He sits there like a door god carved from stone.
Brilliant Bird did not come in person. Perhaps he planned to transfer Stanley here. It would be best if he died in this battle so that he could be in Maxey Town to clear out and consolidate Stanley's forces.
From the empire comes a general who has been fighting on the border all year round. His name is Fisher. Fisher is considered a fierce general. He has been fighting against the water tribe on the border all year round. It can be said that he has rich combat experience, but his brain is not very bright. He is very impulsive and can't speak well.
Because of this, Emperor Tanggulas put him on the border, far away from the imperial capital, so as not to offend others.
And he has been in the army since Tangguras XVIII. He is now 80 years old. In appearance, he is just a middle-aged man with slightly white hair.
On the side of the Crusaders, there is a red archbishop named Michael. I heard that this Michael is a complete religious madman. In the days when the Holy See and the previous Natural See were at odds, he had killed many Natural See with his own hands.
Moreover, there was a village that all believed in the God of Nature, and he killed all of them without sparing any one. Of course, these are secrets that only the higher-ups of the Holy See know.
The furious Pope sent him here just to completely destroy the Fire Emperor without leaving a trace of future troubles.
"If you are afraid, let me order 10,000 cavalry, hit the troops, and attack directly from the east!" Fisher, wearing a chain armor, sat there aggressively, his voice shook the military camp like thunder.
"Your Excellency, General." Stanley complained in his heart about the old man's impulsiveness. Why did he still act like a child when he was 80 years old? But he still had a smile on his face and said, "Look, this guy guarding the door
People are all the elites of our military. Since these red shirts can be used to guard the gate, then I think that the elite power of the Fire Emperor must be hidden in the fortress! So, my point of view
Yes, it’s not too late to hold your troops back first, find out what’s true and false, and then attack forcefully.”
Shabak didn't speak, just sat there and nodded, obviously agreeing with Stanley's point of view
When Fisher saw these two military commanders in white uniforms, he had a bad look. In the empire, the imperial soldiers always looked down on these military personnel, thinking that they could only catch thieves and manage public security in truly large-scale battles.
, they are of no use
Therefore, Fisher looked down upon these two so-called military commanders. He believed more in the soldiers under his command who were cut with real swords and guns.
Not to mention Shabak, Stanley can naturally see that Fisher is arrogant, but he can't say anything. This is the largest civilian faction in the military, and he is also the best at forbearing. He still has a smile on his face, but
Say nothing more
"Then you have no objection." Fisher sneered and turned to look at the old guy next to him, the red archbishop Michael. He didn't open his eyelids at this time and seemed to be sitting peacefully praying. But Stanley knew that this old guy was listening.
is rising, and the ears are still twitching
"What about you, my dear Bishop?" Although Fisher doesn't believe in the god of light, he still has to respect this holy man of the Holy See. After all, half of the 100 million people in the empire are gods of light.
If these believers rise up, even the position of Emperor Tangulas will be unstable.
Not to mention he is a little general!
Therefore, he was naturally unwilling to quarrel with the red archbishop of the Holy See.
"Your bravery can scare away the endless darkness!" Michael opened his eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed in his seemingly kind eyes. "General, your soldiers are all warriors of God. They will never be blocked by darkness."
I believe they will open the door to encircle and suppress the darkness for us."
"That's good." Fisher nodded with satisfaction and said to Michael, "There are so many priests coming from the Holy See this time. If our soldiers are injured, we will need Michael's strong support."
"That's natural. God will naturally take care of His people." Michael nodded, "And we not only have priests, but also ten thousand of the bravest soldiers. As long as God points to it, they will fight for God wherever He points."
"That's good, but such a small fortress will fall down as soon as the war horses push it. Naturally, there is no need for the Bright Knights to take action in person." Fisher said. In fact, he was worried about the strength of the Bright Knights. Michael naturally understood that, but he also learned
Stanley, he didn't say anything anymore but he was muttering in his heart, you old guy, you'd better suffer a big loss at the hands of the Fire Emperor.
Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Fisher burst into laughter, and a proud lieutenant under his opponent said:
"Edem, take ten thousand men with you and mount your best war horse. You must destroy the east gate of the Fire Emperor before dusk!"
"Obey your order, General!" The stiff lieutenant immediately ordered away and began to order his troops and horses, preparing to launch the first charge against the Fire Emperor.
They had just decided on their strategy when they saw that in the sky, the air seemed to fluctuate. Then, a figure suddenly appeared from the air, flapping its wings, and quickly moved towards the direction of the fortress through the clouds and mist.
This is Ivy, the winged person. She used her ability to fly and wind magic to detect this important information.
She rushed to Mo Tao in person and reported the information she obtained to him.
Mo Tao frowned and looked at the group of people sitting below him. This was the first time he encountered such a scene. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Then another piece of information came, and a thief hurriedly ran in and shouted to Mo Tao
"Third Master, what's wrong, there are a lot of soldiers, starting to attack the north gate!"
"North gate?" Ivy tilted her head, "Don't you mean the east gate?"
"Third Master, it's bad, it's bad!" Then two more people came in and shouted to Mo Tao, "There are also a large group of people yelling and cursing at the west gate and south gate. There are many people. It seems that they are about to attack."
The west gate and the south gate were also attacked? Now Ivy was a little confused, "But among the empire's armaments, there are only 10,000 cavalry. Could it be that these 10,000 cavalry were divided into four groups and prepared to attack from four directions together? But
Why is there no news from Dongmen? Did they find me and deliberately send me false news?"
"Probably not." Intel, the guy who is considered the captain of the defense team, waved his hand and said, "You are flying so high, you shouldn't be discovered."
"He, they are feigning an attack," Mo Tao pointed out, "Let, let the 2,000 thieves, thieves, be divided into three groups, only in the east, west, south, and south gate. The remaining black-shirted troops are in, in the east."
The gate is deployed in the southeast, and the defensive artillery in the northeast is opened immediately, open it."
"Mo Tao's general square formation is very correct." Liszt raised his hand and added that in terms of military matters, only he, Mo Tao, Intel and Tang Chuan can speak here. "We cannot passively defend, otherwise that situation will
If thousands of cavalrymen really hit the door, it is very likely that the city wall will be knocked down soon. After all, this is just a dregs of a project that was built in a hurry in half a month. Varivasi has not had time to reinforce it, and it will easily collapse."
"Well, I understand what Liszt means." Tang Chuan admired the talent of the eldest son of the Ailong family, and then said, "What Mr. Ailong means is that we need to strike first against Mo Tao. If you can trust me, I suggest you
Take the initiative and frustrate their prestige first. Maybe we can temporarily shock the power of these officials, so that they dare not act rashly and continue to buy us precious time."
"Furthermore, I got a tip." Tang Chuan went on to tell a piece of news that even Liszt didn't know, as if injecting a burst of powerful medicine into everyone. "A few days ago, the magic city of Nidry, located on the east bank of Loch Ness, was attacked by a wave of
The man-made big lang was submerged. Before that, someone had seen traces of Liu Aiguo. I suspect that Liu Aiguo did this. He seems to be on his way to the forest town."
As he said, Liu Aiguo had inquired from many sources that the Fire Emperor was building fortifications in the forest town, planning to set up camp and recruit troops. The official army was also on its way to suppress the bandits. Liu Aiguo was rushing over as quickly as possible, but if not
He has to bring a group of mermaids with him, and with the speed of his full flight, he might arrive long before the official announcement.
But those mermaid women swam all the way in the Imron River, and their speed was much slower. Especially when the weather was bad, they had to hide together under the water for refuge. As a result, their speed was a bit slower, but Liu Aiguo remained firm.
He did not abandon these mermaids because he felt that having these mermaids here would give them more than 2,000 magicians!
With these magical powers, it is much easier to use than Lao Liu alone.
Old Liu is coming, and similarly, the empire's cavalry has also launched its first charge against the Fire King's fortress. Originally, when the military launched a crusade, they would first conduct a routine persuasion to surrender, but this time it was up to veteran Fisher to charge directly.
, obviously ready to drive the Fire Emperor to death.
Mo Tao and the others were standing on the highest observation deck of the castle. Their eyes crossed the city wall and they stared quietly at the knight army below.
"For the glory of the empire!" Edem pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and then took the lead and rushed towards the wall of the Fire King's fortress.
