In the Governor's Mansion, in the meeting hall, the pendulum of the clock was ticking, and time had passed for a while. Tina had already been arranged to go to the hospital for treatment, while Allen, Kevin, and William continued to wait in the hall.
Under the order of Governor Faisal, the generals of the city defense army and the governor's staff stopped arguing, and instead sat upright and listened to Allen's story about the vampires. The scene was a bit funny.
"Ahem..." Allen cleared his throat and said awkwardly: "Flame control is a very powerful bloodline ability among the vampires. It can freely control the burning of flames. The area, temperature and nature of the flames depend on this
The title level of bloodline ability holders. In ancient legends, there was once a prince-ancestor-level flame control, and its flames were immortal black flames that destroyed the heavens and earth, and were very terrifying."
"Do you think this person is the ancestor of the prince?" At this time, a rude voice interrupted Allen. It was obvious that he was one of the generals of the city defense army.
"Amir, please don't interrupt in a hurry, let him finish what he said." Faisal frowned and said, obviously feeling a little annoyed.
The city defense general named Amir was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he was impatient and held it back. Amir was a general who surrendered to the Ottoman Empire during its expedition to Persia. He was from the Far East of Central Asia and was known for his
In terms of his nationality and bloodline, it was actually very difficult for him to truly integrate into the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, he was helplessly sent to a place like Sarajevo, which had enjoyed peace for decades, to be a low-status city defense general.
Away from frontline command.
However, Amir thinks very highly of himself. He is one of the few people in the Ottoman Empire who has cultivated fighting spirit! He himself feels that he is an unparalleled general. This time the blood clan attacks, under Amir's
In his eyes, he saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make great achievements. He was confident that with his superb martial arts, he would be able to easily sweep away the thousands of vampire cavalry in one attack. Therefore, Amir hoped to take the initiative and actively attack from the beginning to the end.
Seek battle.
Allen was also helpless. Although he was reluctant, he could only continue to explain: "According to legend, if the owner of the ability of flame control blood is promoted to a duke, he can easily burn down a city with just a few moves. And if he is a marquis, he can easily burn down a city.
The range of controlled flames is also tens or even hundreds of kilometers, and it can easily deal with an army..."
"You mean to tell us to surrender quickly!?" Amir was very unhappy and interrupted rudely again.
"Amir!" Faisal stopped immediately, his tone already very impatient. Having been on the battlefield for a long time, he knew very well what kind of person like Amir, who only knew how to talk, was like.
Allen was really speechless, but he still had the courage to continue: "If a strong man from the blood race of the marquis level comes, if there is no strong man on our side who can control the lord-level war puppet, then there is really nothing we can do."
After hearing about the powerful lord level, everyone in the hall was silent for a while, and they were all in awe. It seems that the hierarchy system of the Ottoman Empire should be used to explain it, and they can accept it more easily.
Allen continued: "Generally speaking, those who command thousands of blood knights are usually earl-level vampires. The range of their flame control usually does not exceed the range that his naked eyes can reach. However, his flames can be hotter than ordinary flames.
A lot." In fact, Allen knew it very well, and he knew exactly who was coming.
After the brief introduction, Allen stopped talking. In fact, there were still many details that could be shared, but Allen felt that they would probably not listen. It would still depend on the Governor's final decision.
Just as Allen finished speaking, various arguments broke out in the meeting hall. There were people who advocated active attack and passive defense, and the place became noisy.
"Woo!!!"
At this moment, a thick and long horn sounded again outside the hall.
"Go and see what's going on." Governor Faisal ordered briefly.
Outside Sarajevo...
A giant siege tower with a height of more than 20 meters slowly approached. Dragged by hundreds of blood servants, this giant tower looked particularly ferocious.
Patton, here we come!
It was already approaching dawn, but the sky that was supposed to be dawn was completely dark, with no light at all. The shady chariot was already in place!
The shady range that a single shady tank can support is more than ten kilometers. However, ten shady tanks have been surrounded by all directions far away from Sarajevo. There is no sunshine in Sarajevo anymore...
Several siege trebuchets have been set up and ready to go. If not for time constraints, Patton would have liked to build more.
In the Governor's Mansion, a city defense soldier was making a report.
"Report to the Governor! It should be an enemy general coming! Siege equipment such as trebuchets were found in the distance!"
This time, the meeting hall actually became quiet. Whether it is war or peace, active attack or passive defense, it all depends on how the Governor decides.
"My Lord Governor, I would like to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack, and we will surely defeat the invading enemy invaders in one fell swoop!" After a moment of silence, Amir actively asked for a fight.
"The total number of city defense troops is only more than 10,000. Amir, you are taking away all the main forces at once! You must not!" A voice that was obviously an aide argued.
"Amir, don't you usually claim to be a famous general in hundreds of battles? Don't you always say that you always defeat more with less? I think it's enough for you to lead three or four thousand people." Another voice sounded.
"I think we should prepare the defense equipment first, defend for a round first, see how capable the opponent is, and then make a decision."
"You coward! There are only a few thousand people outside, and it's not like we don't have an army on hand!"
Faisal was silent. He was a little confused. As a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he knew very well what the Sarajevo city defense army was that had been at peace for decades. It was different from the hundreds of battles he personally led in the past.
Compared with the elites, this group of people are simply a bunch of losers! It may be enough to manage public security issues and deal with gangsters on weekdays, but when it comes to fighting a tough battle on the battlefield, this group of people is simply vulnerable and their combat effectiveness is worrisome.
.
However, Feisal also knew very well that it would not work if he just watched the opponent with trebuchets and bombarded him with trebuchets and ignored him. Although it was impossible to capture a population with just a few trebuchets.
There is a big city with more than 500,000 people, but seeing that the cavalry of only a few thousand does not take the initiative to attack and try to compete for a while. Then your internal rule will be shaken by distrust. Once your prestige is lost, the consequences will be extremely serious.
What's more, in a city defense battle, as long as there is a chance to dismantle the opponent's siege equipment, you must attack without hesitation. Unless the field strength has been completely lost, or has been surrounded, that's okay.
It's easy to say. But we haven't sent a single soldier here yet, and the opponent only has a few thousand people, and they are unable to surround the city. It's really unjustifiable for us not to fight. Looking at the group of noisy and actively seeking war, Faisal is
A headache.
Finally, after a long silence, Faisal slowly said: "Attack the entire army!"
"Lord Governor!? Think twice!"
"Amir, let me lead the 10,000 cavalry and go." Feisal seemed to have made up his mind. He just refused to take action. Once he did, he used all his strength!
"Thank you, Governor-General, for your trust! I am determined to live up to everyone's expectations!" Amir said very excitedly, and then ordered him to turn around and leave.
Faisal looked at the back of Amir who left and remained silent again. In fact, he didn't have the slightest confidence deep down in his heart...
