"Lord Loveley, Master and the others have led the Lion and Holy Sword Club to evacuate the citizens of the city!"
On the wall of the barbican, soldiers of the Lovrey family appeared, which meant that the second eldest Viscount of Norway led the family soldiers to support the Norwegian garrison.
"Lord Luo Lei, I'm sorry for being late."
Viscount Grelovre led his guards up the crumbling city wall. Following his instructions, the guards behind him launched a fierce artillery attack on the rebels below the city wall.
Gullah watched Luo Lei fall off the city wall. His vigorous figure did not look like a marquis who was almost fifty years old.
"Three places in the outer castle have collapsed, and the opponent's siege team has set fire to the wooden structure. Sir, should we retreat?"
Weir stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Luo Lei, and then reported the current battle situation.
To be honest, the current war situation for Norway is very passive, and the knights of Onkwe suffered heavy losses in the rebel army. The life and death of the stubborn Master Onkwe is unknown, which also makes Herb Onkwe look very ugly.
"We can't retreat. Once we lose the outer fort, it's like giving the entire outer fort structure to our opponent. Moreover, Noli City is completely exposed to the opponent. We can only escape to the inner fort!"
Herb Onkwe was breathing heavily, his brown hair was covered with blood and snowflakes, and the mustache above his lips was hung with melted snowflakes.
"Herb, how's Alvin doing?" Grelovley frowned and looked at his best friend and old enemy.
As the Grand Viscount of Nori City, Herb and Gullah represent two families. Their interests are bound to conflict, but Gullah also admires Alvin very much. He thinks that Alvin is the best person to train his son Carlin.
Stone.
"Mr. Ray went to rescue him." Herb breathed a sigh of relief. Raysington was a wandering swordsman who paid a lot of money to teach his son.
He didn't know how powerful Raysington was, but he knew that this sloppy wandering swordsman had made his arrogant son docile on the first day.
Although he did feel a little distressed after not getting out of bed for more than a month.
"We have no choice but to retreat. The inner fortress is on a higher ground and has more sophisticated equipment. We can only abandon the civilians. If this defense battle is successful, I will remember the dead."
Luo Lei looked at the two viscounts and said softly.
"But Lord Marquis, we..." Herb wanted to say something else, but his rough voice was very loud on the city wall.
"Herb, we have no choice!" Luo Lei's voice suddenly rose. He looked at Herb seriously, his eyes full of determination.
"Understood, Lord Marquis."
Herb licked his dry lips. He also knew that at this time, he could only abandon those Norwegian citizens. He knew very well the fate of these citizens, just like the Xuanlan War.
The only difference between them and the Xuanlan people is that the Xuanlan people know that even if dawn never comes, they can still cry out in the darkness with the belief of longing for light.
But they retreated, violating the creed of the Angkwe family, but as long as they win, as long as they win, everything will be buried in ruins!
Herb clenched his fists, with fire burning in his eyes.
"Knights of Enkowe, retreat! Retreat to the inner castle!" Herb let the horn sound, and the melodious and rapid horn sound vibrated like ripples.
"Vell, let the last batch of soldiers burn the entire wooden structure of the fort. Don't leave a fortress wall to the rebels!"
Watching the guards gradually leaving, Luo Lei still stood on the city wall. The guards urged him repeatedly, but he remained motionless, like a watchful sculpture.
"Sir, this will cause irreparable damage to the castle. Even if we win, the castle will be in ruins. The funds used to repair it will be very expensive."
Just when Will was about to speak, a neutral voice interrupted him.
Lewis, the internal affairs officer of Nori City, is also the person with financial power. Like Weir, he has been following the Marquis from the time when people knew Rorey.
"That must be after victory. The defense of this place is really important. If the opponent has long-range anti-aircraft guns..."
"That's impossible, sir. Holmulande is just a baron. His annual capital is only a hundred gold longs. The cheapest silver mine anti-aircraft gun costs nearly ten thousand gold longs, and the annual maintenance cost is even higher.
It’s scary,”
Lewis pushed up his glasses, looked at his ledger, and continued,
"Otherwise, Nori would not have been equipped with silver mine weapons. The old lord's period was already in financial deficit, and a large amount of national funds were swallowed up by Xuansiti. If Baron Holmulande has a silver mine anti-aircraft gun, I will
Weir’s head is presented to your lordship.”
"But we can't afford the bet, can we? The long-range silver mine anti-aircraft cannon can directly hit the inner castle wall. We can't make this bet."
Luo Lei looked at Lewis with a smile: "Burn it. This can also stop the rebels for a while and provide us with time to retreat."
"..." Lewis sighed and nodded.
…
"For Holmland!" the leader of the rebel army roared. The opponent was already retreating. This was a good opportunity to pursue!
"After capturing the outer fort, station yourself on the outer fort. Distribute cold-warming supplies to the soldiers, and then occupy the city." White was riding on horseback, and his hot breath turned into white mist in the heavy snow.
In his hand was a rough map of Nori, written by Keiger and other scouts.
"Since Lord Baron trusts us so much, let's attack the inner castle wall in one fell swoop and don't give them a chance to rest!"
Long shook his head. He stood up enthusiastically and looked at Kege who said nothing. Now that both White and he had spoken, whichever side Kege supported would win.
"The Port Army is the largest and suffered the heaviest losses. There are also the Outer City Army and the Yat Army, plus the Baron's own team. We should discuss it with the commanders of the other two teams."
Keiger looked at the map carefully and touched the rough stubble on his chin.
"White, let the rebels retreat. Don't attack the castle wall at this time."
Xavier suddenly spoke. He looked at the castle wall in the distance. The heavy snow and dark night made his vision a little blurry, but he could vaguely see that there were only a few people on the wall.
They held torches and calmly looked at the rebels below who rushed into the bunker.
"Why, Xiwei? You have to know that retreating at this time will be misunderstood by the Baron."
White took a quick breath. He didn't know why Xavier beside him suddenly tensed up.
"As a kid, it's my first time to participate in a real battle, so I'm naturally a little scared..." Long said angrily. He glanced at Xavier with disdain, obviously unable to stand the insult thrown in by Huo Zhang.
"Retreat! Don't rush into the castle!" Xavier yelled suddenly. He opened his eyes wide, and his long eyelashes could no longer cover his stunning ice blue eyes.
"I believe you, Adjutant Xiwei." Niya suddenly spoke. She glanced at Xavier tenderly and said softly.
The next moment, she grabbed the horn from the soldiers on the side. She knew the signal to retreat. Before any of the three Whites could react, she had already blown the horn!
"Take the horn, idiot, you are harming everyone! White, your damn sister will be imprisoned by the Baron until she dies!"
Kege roared violently, and the soldiers on the side just woke up from a dream. Without thinking, they rushed towards Niya and took the horn.
But the sound of the trumpet had already passed, and the rebels were hesitating. Some people gritted their teeth and chose to listen to the trumpet. But others chose their own decision and stormed the castle!
Kege rushed forward with a ferocious look on his face. He kicked the soldier away and smashed Niya with a heavy bone horn.
This stupid woman actually did such a thing just to trust a boy she loved!
Niya had no time to dodge, so she closed her eyes. The ice-blue eyes were still in her mind, and she chose to believe Xavier because she felt that those eyes would not deceive.
The pain didn't come for a long time. She opened her eyes in fear, and the thin and thin figure stood calmly in front of her. She suddenly cried. Behind Xavier, she felt safe for the first time.
