At the first moment, the fortress on the sea cliff path outside Fatan Port was declared to have been lost. The guards on the city were caught off guard and were nailed to the city wall by the Hades steel arrows shot in the dark. The blood had not had time to flow out.
It was frozen. [Under the command of the Corpse Witch, the skeleton used a siege machine to smash the car door. Only then did the soldiers in the barracks realize that something was wrong, but they were already trapped in a tight siege. The resistance in the fortress only lasted for a moment and then died down.
, together with more than 30 Hong Kong Guard soldiers in the barracks, were all declared dead.
Fatan Port was built as a fortress for the fleet to be stationed. It was located among sea cliffs. There were only two narrow mountain roads connecting the port to the outside world. The Imperial Navy built two mountain roads on these two mountain roads.
Sea Cliff Fortress, the front of the fortress faces the valley leading to this sea cliff. One side is close to the cliff and the other side is facing the sea. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and no one can open it. Five hundred meters behind the fortress is Fatan Port.
Between the main city wall and the 500 meters, there are still mountain roads and tidal flats, but the terrain is still much gentler and flatter than the previous section.
At this moment, Baron Ludwig and Delphine were located on the main city wall 500 meters behind the Sea Cliff Fortress. The city wall was already covered with troops of the White Lion Guard and the Harbor Guard. However, under the order of the Prime Minister's daughter,
Next, they extinguished all the torches, held their breath, and did not make a sound. The city wall was completely dark, and several wizards opened a spell barrier to block the breath of the living. The spell enveloped the entire city wall.
The baron watched as the sounds of resistance in the fortress a few hundred meters away finally ceased and immediately returned to darkness. He turned back to the indifferent Delphine angrily and said: "Since you knew about the sneak attack of the undead, why didn't you let them in earlier?"
Are you preparing to hand over the fortress to others? I know that you have an old rift with those Eruin people, but you cannot drag us into death with you."
What he said was very unpleasant, but even ten times more unpleasant words could not make Delphine frown, but she really couldn't stand this stupid noise. She replied coldly: "As the military commander of this fortress, please take it."
Show some basic military literacy and don't make people laugh at you. I didn't want to remind you, but I was afraid that you would lose the empire's face in front of the guests."
"What did you say!"
Just as Baron Ludwig was about to have a fit, Count Olkons who was standing by him quickly pulled him aside. He knew that although Ludwig was the owner of Fatan Port, he was actually responsible for maintaining port operations and managing the fleet.
He is the commander of the fleet stationed in the port. In fact, Baron Ludwig does not have high military qualifications. He is just a local lord. However, he himself has seen the intention of the prime minister's daughter. She is trying to
These undead were let in so that the priest could have a chance to deliver a fatal blow.
The more than 500-meter narrow and rugged sea cliff path to the main city wall of Port Fatan cannot be easily exited once you enter, so as to ensure that their 'trump card' can be used to its maximum effect.
It's just that the main city wall of Fatan Port is not high. It's only a little over eight meters, which is not enough to see in the fantasy world. This is really because the sea cliff fortress outside the port is too strong, and the original architectural designer considered the sandbanks in the port.
Therefore, the load-bearing force did not continue to raise the wall. Now Count Alkans regrets it very much, secretly cursing the original design and builders for cutting corners. In any case, for an imperial fortress, it should be built with magic injected into the ground to reinforce the sandbank at any cost.
A fortress wall of more than 13 meters, or even a general city main wall of 10 meters, would not be as worrying as it is now.
What's more, although most of the distance from Fatan's main city wall to the Haiya Fortress is a narrow sea cliff mountain road, close to the main city wall, especially under the city gate, is an open sandbank terrain, which is very conducive to the undead deploying their troops. And Fatan
There are not many troops left in Tan Port. Among them, there are more than a thousand harbor guards left, and there are about hundreds of guards of the Eruin envoy. Once the 'trump card' fails to work, these few people can rely on the low
The main city wall and the unfavorable terrain cannot defend the port at all, and the defense line may even be in danger before the 'trump card' has time to move into position.
However, he did not dare to express his worries. He only explained it to Baron Ludwig. After listening to the explanation, the latter calmed down and stopped talking. However, Enid, who was beside Ouni, looked a little uncomfortable.
Tai Ren asked, "Even if you say that, you should inform the people in front to withdraw. That's more than forty lives. How could you keep them in the dark and die in vain?"
Delphine gave her a cold look: "A woman's kindness."
"you--"
Delphine thought for a moment and realized that his current position was still on the side of these Eruin people. He sighed and explained: "Even if I send people to inform them, the order given is to let them defend until the end, but I know
They will definitely not do this. They also died under the sword of the military judge after they escaped. Why not let them be heroes without knowing it? This result will at least be better for their families."
Enid's eyes were wide and bright, and she turned around in disbelief and asked: "Is that so, Chiara?"
The little girl nodded helplessly: "Absolutely." But she immediately stared at Delphine and asked: "But more importantly, you want their death to be more realistic, right?"
"Absolutely," Delphine replied equally noncommittally: "They are soldiers, and I have the right to choose how they die. As long as victory can be achieved, there are only stupid and wise orders in war, not cruel and kind orders.
point."
Snow and rain were falling from the sky, and the slightest bit fell on the faces of the girls present. Enid and Oni frowned, and the elf and her pseudo-dragon lay on the city wall to look at the situation outside - but because they were too tall,
Being shorter, she could only stick her forehead out of the battlements even if she stood on tiptoes desperately. Chiara looked indifferent, while Delphine had a calm and indifferent look on her face. Raindrops slid down her smooth and beautiful face.
, sliding down her ugly and uneven scars.
On the other hand, Earl Alcorns on the side agreed more with this sentence, thinking that she was indeed the woman known as the flower of the empire. After all, there was no falsehood under her fame.
At this time, there was a slight noise in the darkness in the distance. Everyone present knew that the undead had opened the door on the other side of the fortress and was preparing to attack Port Fatan. Delphine stopped arguing and turned around
He issued an order to the harbor guard officer on the side: "Knight Commander Sherrut!"
"exist!"
"I order you to lead your subordinates out of the city immediately and start an attack on the undead. Launch an attack on the Sea Cliff Fortress and be sure to recapture the southern section of the fortress wall!"
"What!" Baron Ludwig jumped up in shock, almost growling from his throat: "Vicious woman, you can't be so reckless. How dare you let my people go out of the city to fight with their number?"
Hundreds of thousands of undead are attacking, you are crazy. We only have so few manpower, do you really want to give Fatan Port to others?"
Alkans also frowned and persuaded: "Miss Delphine, our troops are seriously insufficient. It would be fine if we were in the Sea Cliff Fortress, but here we will attack from behind when we leave the city, both in terms of troop strength and terrain.
It’s extremely detrimental to us.”
Delphine was not affected at all and replied indifferently: "Am I the commander or are you the commander? I want to remind you that my command authority is due to the double acceptance of the emperor's eldest son and Count Tonigel. I enjoy the privilege here.
Supreme command authority, you must obey my orders unconditionally. What, do you want to disobey military orders or defect on the battlefield?"
"You——" Baron Ludwig's face turned green: "Do you want us to die, and we must obey unconditionally?"
"First of all, I want to correct your mistake. I can't let my soldiers die in vain. Secondly, you got the answer right. Even if I want you to die, you must obey unconditionally -" Delphine sat in a wheelchair in the rain.
. replied word for word: "Of course, you can express your objection. I welcome you to ask His Royal Highness the eldest son for advice and remove me from the position of commander. It only takes a quarter of an hour from here to the eldest son's departure.
I estimate that it will be around this time when the battle begins, and there is not much time left for you."
Baron Ludwig's lips trembled with anger. Marjorie on the side frowned, stepped forward and replied: "Miss Delphine, let us go first, the White Lion Guard is ready."
Unexpectedly, the prime minister's daughter glanced at him coldly: "Shut up, did I ask you to express your opinion? Get back! Knight Commander Marjorie, I don't think you need to tell you what a duty-bound soldier should be.
What are you doing? My orders are not negotiable!"
A bolt of lightning pierced down from the dark clouds, turning the faces of everyone present white, some were shocked, some were angry, some were interested, except Delphine who did not change his color from the beginning to the end.
She looked at Xerut who was standing aside and asked: "Knight Commander, is it your knight's honor that makes you hesitate and shrink from moving forward at this moment?"
Xerute's expression changed. He glanced in the direction of the dark sea cliff fortress outside the city, and finally nodded heavily: "I understand, Madam Commander."
…
The process of capturing the Sea Cliff Fortress went smoothly beyond imagination. The plan seemed to have achieved the expected results. The residents of Port Fatan and the Eruin people stationed here were indeed not prepared at all. They must be in a hurry for this sudden solar eclipse.
Unaware that the empire would launch an attack at this moment, Sock was walking up a flight of stairs to the southern section of the sea cliff fortress. Then he raised his head and looked at Fatan Harbor. There were dots of lights in the harbor, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.
Due to the sudden solar eclipse, many people gathered on the street with shadowy figures.
He is a subordinate of the Raven Cavalry Regiment of the White Legion and a subordinate of the Great Knight Harden. Harden the Bull has always acted as the vanguard of the legion, and this time is no exception. Sock and several other knight captains are mainly responsible for coordinating and observing on the front line.
Attack situation of the undead: As expected, the undead will form the first wave of this sneak attack, because their abilities will be greatly improved during the solar eclipse, while the human legions will be severely weakened.
With the advantage, the undead will attack the outer walls of Sea Cliff Fortress and Port Fatan and engage in street fighting. It doesn't matter even if it turns into a bloody battle, since they can afford it anyway.
The main enemy of the White Army is the Buga fleet parked in Fatan Port. From the beginning to the end, Duke Anbunar believed that the fleet parked in Fatan Port was controlled by the Buga people. As for Eru
Because people are just a cover, how could the Eruin have such a powerful fleet?
From the current point of view, the situation on the front line observed by Suok was very good. He saw the skeletons opening the south gate of the Sea Cliff Fortress under the command of the Corpse Witch, and releasing a small group of skeletons for a trial attack. These skeletons were in
The lights reflected in the distance glowed with a dense white light, and they formed a tight formation. The Hades steel sword in their hands did not shine at all. It was a sharp weapon used for night attacks.
The skeletons went down the mountain road, and further away, it was pitch black in the direction of the main city wall of Port Fatan, without even the slightest firelight, and there was no movement. The message from the corpse witch in front indicated that there were only a few stars on the city wall.
The breath of the living is in line with expectations. It seems that this is indeed an undefended port - at least for the moment.
But for some reason, Sock felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had told several colleagues about this uneasiness before, but he was ridiculed for being too cautious - in the mouth of the cavalry under Harden the Bull, caution actually means cowardice.
, he naturally could not accept this evaluation, and now he came to the southern section of the city wall of Haiya Fortress just to confirm his thoughts.
But at least so far, it seems that I am being too suspicious.
Suoke thought with self-mockery that perhaps it was because this battle was too easy to fight. It was so easy that it was unbelievable. However, the twenty or thirty Harbor Guard soldiers killed by the undead before were indeed not as similar as the others.
He seemed to be well-informed, and it seemed that there should be no traps here. He stood on the city wall, took one last look in the direction of Port Fatan, and most planned to walk down the city wall. It was too cold outside, and several of his colleagues did not
I was willing to stay in this horrible weather, so I had already found a warmer-looking place in the barracks to hide.
It was at this time that Knight Commander Sherut from Port Fatan led a small group of his men to a place not far from the southern wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress. According to Delphine's instructions, they brought
A wizard, this wizard is from Tonigel and is not very familiar with the others. He just silently maintains a Breath of the Dead spell in the team.
Xerute, who was walking at the front, made a gesture to stop the entire team. Not far ahead was a 'small group' of undead that were leaving the fortress. Under the cold light, the area was so white that it looked like a forest of bones.
There are hundreds of them - no way, to the undead, this is just a 'small team' of skeletons.
Sherrut frowned as he saw it. The Harbor Guard was not the first-line regiment of the Cruz people. He and his men could barely reach the silver level, but it was still a headache to face more than a hundred skeletons, not to mention there were more people behind the fortress.
How much? He raised his head and took a look, and found an unexpected shadow on the southern section of the Haiya Fortress wall not far away. He quickly turned around and whispered to his subordinates:
"Did you see that? It's a corpse witch. These low-level skeletons are actually commanded by a corpse witch. As long as we kill the corpse witch who commands them, they won't be a threat. David, take the holy water you received.
Take it out, spray the arrows with water, and we'll kill that guy with one arrow!"
"As long as you finish it off, I will give you credit!"
