Two years ago, the border between Clancia and the Empire was in the Windhow Province.
It rained all day and night, and the room was dark even during the day, requiring candles to be lit for lighting.
In the military camp outside the city, General Antar was staring at the map at the table, looking at several movable flags and sand dunes on the simulated terrain.
At this time, the curtain of the tent was opened, and an officer wearing a waterproof cloak walked in. The heavy rain outside hit the ground, splashing high water, and the cool and moist wind also brought in the officer.
.
"Report to the General."
"Enter."
"How is the situation?" The general looked up from the map he was holding.
"It's not very good. The other party is very tightly guarded and relies on the city wall to defend it."
In the rainy weather, it is difficult to siege the city, but this Cranthian army has been trapped here for a long time. If it is delayed any longer, the fighter plane will be delayed.
"We must regain this city so that we can clear the obstacles to logistical supplies and continue our advance."
In the large open hood, the general explained the strategic points to the staff, and then began to discuss solutions.
"Perhaps we can only attack at night. The rain will be our cover."
The next night, in the dark night, a group of Cranthian soldiers carefully approached the city wall wearing waterproof cloaks. At this time, they also discovered the large magic lamp shining on the city wall.
The headlights protected by these metal cages are alchemical creations. They are filled with energy and can stay bright all night long.
"This Earl of Timberwolf is very cautious." Outside the city wall, several people lowered their bodies and communicated quietly in the darkness.
"I'll cast a spell to cover you, and then bury this new type of explosive under the city wall."
"Yes." Then several soldiers who were proficient in lurking leaned forward holding backpacks wrapped in oil paper.
Perhaps they were lucky that night, and they were not discovered by the other party. Then, the explosives detonated, and the waves broke through the rain, and boom——
The heavy gray stone bricks were shattered by the explosion, and a piece of the city wall collapsed, forming a V-shaped gap.
"Come on!"
Behind the curtain of rain, many soldiers took the lead, braving the rain and pouring into this small gap with spears and halberds.
After they entered, they directly chopped down the few guards who came after hearing the sound, and then continued to pour in. But when half of them entered, an orange-red fireball broke through the night rain, slowly fell on the gap and exploded.
The high-temperature flames steamed up the rainwater, baking the rocks red and hot, and the advancing troops were cut off on the spot.
"Hahaha!" Then a burst of laughter rang out, and a group of soldiers from the Crimson Empire appeared on the top of the house. They took bows and arrows and a few muskets to attack the Clancia soldiers below.
"Die here!" Looking at these armored soldiers in the rain, an imperial noble shouted excitedly from the top of the tall tower.
Fierce and brutal street fighting began.
This battle did not go as expected by either side. The soldiers of Cranthia who invaded the city did not expect an ambush, and the imperial soldiers were also surprised that these people still did not give up and retreat in the face of the full force ambush and sniper attacks from their own side.
"Kill!" In the rain, a vigorous roar penetrated the dark night.
Holding their shields high, the soldiers climbed up the city wall one by one. In the gaps clogged with rubble, they waved torches soaked in kerosene to fight the approaching enemies.
Following the figure in front of the head, soldiers were stacked up one by one, their fingers firmly dug into the gravel, and they kept climbing in the rain. From time to time, teammates were hit by enemy arrows and bullets and fell down.
They must support their companions in the city in time, otherwise their sacrifices in this battle will be in vain.
In the sky, several meteor-like fireballs rose into the night sky, briefly exploding rain clouds and shining on the earth. A dozen Starlight Alliance mages took the risk to take off, calling for bright magical flashes to support the friendly forces below.
"Kill them!" Facing these mages, in the city where the empire was stationed, several long-horned owl-feathered eagles carried elite soldiers into the night sky.
They are the 'Jungle Eagle Guards' under the command of Earl Timberwolf. Although there are not many in number, they are all elites above Sequence 5.
Under the resistance of these Warcraft Knights, some mages were pierced by thrown forest spears and fell from the sky into the rain.
"Fire! Fire!" Under the dark city wall, Crancia's soldiers aimed at the monsters overhead and fired bullets, forcing the opponent to fly high and giving their own mages a chance to dodge.
In the cold rain, the two sides started fighting around the city wall, and people kept falling, but there were still soldiers on the Crancia side keeping up.
So until dawn.
The morale of the defenders in the city finally collapsed and they began to flee and retreat. They surrounded the count and evacuated to another city gate.
"Don't let them go!" In the early morning fog, a group of armored cavalry passed through the city gate and fled to the northeast, followed by the cry of the Cranthian soldiers behind them.
"Oh, just wait."
Count Timberwolf waved his riding crop fiercely and sped forward. He had sent a message when he was attacked last night, and reinforcements should be arriving by now. The other party was a well-known legion commander in the empire. Although he looked down on his origin, he
I still have confidence in his combat capabilities.
Horse hooves trampled on the dewy grass, and the mist in the air made people feel slightly chilly.
Suddenly, the sound of neat horse hooves came from the fog, which shocked the pedestrians. Could it be that the pursuers had already surrounded them from the front?
Amidst the anxiety, those pitch-black figures suddenly jumped out of the mist. The armor covering their bodies was made of pitch-black steel, and their faces were also shrouded in helmets like layers of fences. These cavalrymen held red and black Dark Blood Cavalry in their hands.
The gun shuttled through the fog, like a terrifying legion from hell.
"Dulcie." Whispering this hateful and fearful name in a low voice, Earl Timberwolf waved his arms and asked his entourage to come forward and report the situation.
"Got it." A man with a determined expression pulled down his mask, then raised his right hand. In that brief moment, you could even hear the sound of the air being sucked out.
"Blood Spear Knights, advance!" The voice was like thunder.
"drink!"
A group of cavalry responded loudly, and then they began to accelerate, faster and faster, faster and faster, like black and red afterimages passing in the mist.
These cavalry from hell are advancing rapidly towards the lost city.
While the Clansian soldiers were still dealing with the resistance in the city and cleaning the battlefield, these cavalrymen suddenly rushed into the city, directly piercing these soldiers with their lances, tearing them apart in the air, and then beheading them.
The situation in the city also suddenly reversed at this moment. These cavalry regiments from the central part of the empire were elite regiments directly affiliated with the royal family. Under the leadership of the famous general Darcy, they were unstoppable and changed the battlefield situation.
