In Fatan Port, the main city wall was in a mess at the moment. Many city walls were blown down by magic, rubble was scattered on the ground, and amidst the smoke and dust, imperial soldiers wearing red and white uniforms were stepping on the collapsed wall.
They swarmed in. On top of the still well-preserved city, troops wearing the same uniforms were gradually gaining the upper hand. Densely packed siege ladders were hung on the battlements, and more and more red and white soldiers passed by.
These ladders gradually converged into a torrent at the top of the city. In contrast, the cyan, representing the defenders of Port Fatan, were retreating steadily. In fact, in most areas, the fighting had come to an end and had turned into street fighting.
The situation seemed to have changed just a moment ago. Sidney summoned the wrathful angel Akroma to descend and eliminate all the undead in the valley. After that, the Hong Kong Guards launched a counterattack and reoccupied the Sea Cliff Fortress. But the good times did not last long.
The White Legion then arrived on the battlefield and launched a storm. The Empire's magician group led by Tony, the great wizard from Xianian, flattened the Sea Cliff Fortress almost regardless of the cost, leaving behind an inhumane area hundreds of meters square.
The bottom of the pit. The Hong Kong Guards suffered heavy losses in this attack, and due to Brando's prior order, Charles did not let Tony Geer's magician group launch a counterattack - in fact, the counterattack had no effect. The strength of both sides
The difference is obvious.
The White Army then launched an offensive against Fatan Port. Although the Harbor Guards, whose morale was high due to the previous victory, also put up a desperate resistance, the huge disparity in strength still determined the outcome from the beginning. The Empire's magicians
The regiment quickly destroyed the main city wall of Port Fatan, and the previous scene occurred.
Under the cover of everyone, Delphine moved her position to the small monastery. She listened to the sound of fighting on the front line that shook the ground, and soon discovered that the Hong Kong Guards still could not gain a foothold.
The empire deployed garrison infantry on the frontal battlefield. These phalanx infantry advanced along each street. As far as the eye could see, there were moving walls composed of floating square shields. Behind the square shields, you could vaguely see those
Hoplites covered with armor, with almost only a pair of eyes exposed under the metal visors. They held spears several meters long. They stretched the spears from the gap between the shields, as if a forest of spears had risen.
, the densely packed spear tips flashed with cold light.
The archers of the Harbor Guard were almost powerless against these metal fortresses. Only occasionally the sharpshooters in the army could achieve results - shooting arrows into the gaps in the shields or hitting the eyes. However, the infantry in front fell on their backs.
The heavy armored infantry at the back will immediately fill in. Filling the gaps in the phalanx, the few casualties will look like a stone thrown into the sea, making no waves.
Although the advance of the garrison infantry was slow and despairing, the Hong Kong Guards in the western area of Fatan Port were forced to launch a hand-to-hand counterattack as a last resort. However, the result was very unpleasant.
The entire battle went on fiercely, with the entire squadron barely surviving in less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, and there were very few wounded. Most of them turned into cold corpses lying on both sides of the street.
Only then did everyone understand that the reason why the garrison infantry of the White Legion was called the 'Dragon Spear Phalanx' during the Second Holy War was not for nothing.
On the roof, there are also Flame Eagle Archers of the White Legion wearing red hemlines and white cloaks. These ranger troops are actually from the Red Legion, but in the Year of the Hare, the Silver Queen intends to join several other legions.
They also cultivated similar arms, so they gradually transferred a group of Flame Eagle shooters from the Red Legion to the other three legions. However, this plan did not progress satisfactorily, because most of the Flame Eagle shooters were actually
The rangers were born in the mountainous areas of Floating Cloud Hill, Anzlova, Anzeruta and Anzerin; the other three major legions are mainly composed of Metz, Mehotofen, Ludwig and Bank.
You are farmers or mountain people in the countryside of Cloak Bay. The talent and understanding of archery between the two are really different. Although they eventually trained many outstanding archers, they are still far from the original expectations.
However, after the plan ran aground, the Silver Queen did not return the transferred Flame Eagle Archer Brigade to the Red Army. Instead, she allowed them to stay in the three major legions and exist in a special establishment. These Flame Eagle Archers have their own experiences.
Each is different. Among them, the Flame Eagle Archer Training Team of the White Legion even had a record in the battle with the Faenzan Silver Banner Knights in the Alka region in the Year of the Pillar, so there is a mark on the left chest of their cloaks.
The tail feathers of a falcon are used as a mark to distinguish them from other Flame Eagle shooters. Within the White Legion, these Flame Eagle shooters are usually called 'Falcon Hunters'.
These falconers carefully crouched on the roof and advanced in groups of two or three in a skirmish line. They were not many in number, but they posed a great threat to the Hong Kong Guards. Often in street battles, the Hong Kong Guards
As soon as the captain, knight captain or grand knight shows up, they will be attacked by unpredictable cold arrows. The accuracy of these cold arrows is astonishingly high, and at one time the lower-level command system of the Hong Kong Guard was almost on the verge of collapse.
As for the soldiers of the Hong Kong Guard and the White Lion Guard who were stationed in the temporary fortifications, the Falcons used rockets and refracted shots to eliminate them one by one. This was their specialty. The Rockets of the Flame Eagle Archer can create a fireball similar to
The explosion effect, and the refraction shot can be used to attack enemies hiding in buildings. In front of them, there are almost no strong fortresses.
If the garrison infantry is like a simple, edgeless heavy sword that can easily break through the opponent's defense from the front, then the Flame Eagle shooter is like a dexterous bone-eliminating sharp knife. The two sharp blades cooperate with each other and can be used in street fighting.
There's nothing wrong with it.
The Hong Kong Guards quickly lost the first and second barricade defense lines, and the White Lion Guards of the Eruin also encountered trouble in the first battle, although they successfully allowed the White Legion to advance towards the Temple of Fosha.
The advance came to a halt, but he also suffered the heaviest casualties since the war began. On Delphine's map, Fatan Port was completely destroyed almost instantly, and important street intersections were inserted everywhere.
The red and white flag representing the empire was raised, and the aggressive fighting power displayed by the empire plunged everyone present into silence.
Even the imperial nobles——
Although every Imperial person may have heard about the pride of the Empire since birth - the four legendary legions inherited from the War of the Saints: the Burnet Legion, the Anderson Legion, the Odyssey Legion and the Donat Legion.
Legend has it that it was these four legions that gradually evolved into the current four legions of green, white, red and black. But without truly standing on their opposite side and becoming their opponents, people will not understand how powerful they really are.
The glory of the empire, the majesty of the empire, the power of the empire. These are by no means empty words.
"What should we do?" Baron Ludwig's wrinkled face looked very pale: "Shall we retreat to Fatan Fortress?"
"No," Count Olkons shook his head: "If we retreat now, our morale will collapse, and it's not yet time."
"But if we don't retreat, we won't be able to defend it when the old wolf's men push forward again!"
Count Alcorns smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that old guy really has two brushes."
Everyone else turned their attention to the prime minister's daughter in the wheelchair, as if they wanted to see if she had any solution. But Delphine's face was also solemn, and she just nodded, agreeing with the former's view.
This offensive is really suffocating. The previous judgment was still too optimistic. The opponent has not yet invested in the Griffin Knights and Silver Pegasus Knights, otherwise it will not be able to sustain it after noon. In fact, even now, the entire port defense line can collapse at any time.
, the Hong Kong Guard is like a string stretched to its maximum, no one knows when it will suddenly break.
You must know that the White Legion is still the legion that is better at defense and field operations among the four legions of the empire. The garrison infantry they are proud of is actually a powerful defensive infantry, while the Earthly Dragon Knights cannot be used in sieges at all.
in the battle.
"Has the empire stopped in the direction of attacking Fusha Temple?" she suddenly asked.
"Yes," the noble who brought the news immediately responded, but Delphine called the White Army the 'Empire', which made him feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, most people present still regarded this war as
It was a civil war. He calmed down his emotions, and then replied in a somewhat incredible tone: "It's absolutely true, Miss Delphine, I really don't know how those Eruin people did it. They seemed to do it from the front
Repulsed the legion's attack."
…
The White Army was also puzzled by the fighting power of the enemy in front of them. Sounds like roaring mountains and tsunami were heard from the Eruin position all the time. It was like crazy. On this side of the street, the White Army
The large and small knight captains within the legion looked at each other. They had organized three attacks before, but were repelled mercilessly each time. The casualty ratio between the Eruins and them was almost three to one.
, but the other party is still fighting one after another. He has no idea what death and fear are.
The streets were in a mess. The two sides were fighting almost until they had no time to recover the bodies. The streets were dyed red with blood. Every stone on the street seemed to be soaked in blood, reflecting a strange brilliance. So much so that the soldiers below had already put the people in front of them.
The streets are vividly called "Blood Streets". However, the Eruin people still guarded several important street intersections, refusing to take a step back, as if the legion could not advance even half a point without killing them all.
These junior sergeants of the White Legion have experienced countless battles, but they have never fought such a fierce battle, so much so that the heavy infantry on the front line has suffered a reduction of nearly 10%. In fact, so far, there have been at least three
The team was completely crippled and retreated from the front line.
The 'Falcons' on the roof also met their opponents, and their situation was even worse. The opponents they met were much stronger than the Eruin infantry - that was a force that came and went.
Most of Rufeng's ranger troops are composed of point-eared elf soldiers. Not only are their opponents' shooting skills amazing, but their ability to conceal their whereabouts is mind-numbing. When the 'Falconman' first discovered them, the opponent approached them very close.
They were still unaware of the distance of thirty feet, but in the end they were fired upon intensively from almost a roof away, resulting in the near-annihilation of the entire army.
The soldiers of the White Legion who reacted behind wanted to pursue them, but those elven shooters had already unfolded their cloaks and jumped far away to other rooftops. Then they turned around and sniped at them for a while. In the end, the heavy infantry in front was lost.
It was tragic, several knight captains died.
Almost half of the credit for the attrition of the White Legion's front-line troops must be attributed to these elf shooters. Later, the commander of the White Legion was forced to mobilize all the nearby 'Falconman' squadrons in this direction, which finally alleviated the problem.
took some pressure off.
But it only reduced the pressure. Although the number of 'Falconmen' gathered far exceeded that of the elf shooter team, they were still beaten one-sided. After countless sneak attacks, these came from
The shooters of the Red Legion finally discovered that the opponent could actually become invisible.
The 'Falconman' on the roof was suppressed and did not dare to show his head. This battle has actually reached a stalemate. No matter how fearless the White Army is, it will never be completely defeated.
They rushed forward without cover, not to mention that the Eruin people on the opposite side showed a posture of fighting to the end. Even if they showed desperate momentum, they might not be able to achieve a breakthrough in an instant. Not to mention the important front-line
Among the infantry, there are not that many middle- and lower-level knight commanders who can snipe the opponent's elf shooters.
"The opposite side should be the White Lions of the Eruin people." After a short moment of silence, a knight finally couldn't help but said: "Their fighting will is a bit beyond my expectation. I'm very curious about Anze now."
How did those second-line armies of Ruta gain an advantage in the war with these guys on the highlands?"
"No, that is not a pure White Lion Army. They have white lion shawls on their shoulders, which is obviously different from other white lions. Perhaps it is a special formation similar to our Falcons. Have you noticed that they
Their uniforms look very similar to the White Lion Infantry recorded in history."
"But in any case, the really powerful ones are those elven archers," another knight frowned and said, "Where did they come from? We have never heard of such a ranger force in Warnd. Their abilities are too special.
It's impossible for them to be unknown. It can be seen that street fighting is not their main battlefield. This ranger unit is the real king of jungle warfare."
"Is it the wind elf?"
"No, that's the tree elves, but the forest shadow shooters of the tree elves are not like this. Their performance in street fighting is far worse than this ranger unit."
"Well, no matter who they are, at least I can be sure that this ranger force will become famous all over the world after today."
The first knight looked at his helpless companions, frowned and waved his hands: "You are digressing. What we are going to discuss now is, what should we do next? We are required to cooperate with the offensive in the south and get it within an hour.
Let’s go to Fusha Temple. But now these Eruin people are like crazy. Others will not listen to our explanation. They will only laugh at us because we can’t even deal with a group of country bumpkins.”
"This problem is not easy to solve. If these guys are just country bumpkins, then I can't help but doubt our combat effectiveness."
"You should really review your performance." At this time, a majestic voice intervened. All the knights present couldn't help but look stern when they heard this voice. They turned around and saluted respectfully to the person who interrupted: "My lord.
!”
The person who walked into this circle was the commander of this unit, Sir Liu Xi. He looked at his subordinates seriously and replied: "There is no need to discuss it, the order from above has been issued."
"What, are you willing to give us air support from above, sir?"
"No," Sir Liuxi replied succinctly: "This is an order from Duke Ambnar. He ordered us to stop the attack immediately and retreat to the Golden Needle Valley to wait."
"What!? Why, the capture of Port Fatan is just around the corner?"
"There is no reason. The attack has been blocked. Have you seen the Buga fleet? This is an order, execute it immediately."
"Yes -" the knights were silent for a while, but still nodded in response.
