The movement in Ross's mansion naturally attracted the attention of the Western Army. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed not far from the mansion. As soon as the battle in the mansion began, there were personal guards who passed on the information.
The Western Army stationed outside also responded very quickly. As soon as they heard that Ross was in danger, they completed their assembly in a very short period of time and rushed towards Ross.
Soon, the streets outside Ross's mansion were filled with the figures of the Western Frontier Army.
"Hurry up!"
The leading Western Army officer had already rushed into the courtyard with some soldiers, but the scene in the courtyard made him feel cold.
There were hundreds of corpses lying crookedly in the yard. Most of these warriors from the Western Frontier Army had ferocious faces, and they were still holding weapons tightly in their hands. There were not many wounds on their bodies, almost all of them were fatal wounds. They looked like they should be.
It was a fight with a huge gap in strength.
The officers of the Western Army know the level of these guards who can guard Ross. They are definitely not the kind of vases that look after the homes of nobles. There are more than a hundred guards lying on the ground, including two knights.
Officer, if placed in the desert of the Western Region, such a hundred-man army could even wipe out a small tribe of lizardmen.
But now they are all turned into corpses. What is even more frightening is that all the corpses on the ground are the corpses of Western Army soldiers. There is not a single corpse of the enemy. It is impossible for the attacker to kill himself during the attack.
The body next to him was collected.
The only possibility is that this group of assassins killed so many guards in the front yard without any casualties during the battle.
After thinking about this, the officer leading the team felt chills from top to bottom. It was not that the tragic scene scared him. There may be some people in the Western Army who are afraid of death, but most of them are fearless soldiers.
.
At this time, the officer was shocked by the strength of the intruder, and became more and more worried about Rose's comfort. The speed of his feet even increased a few points for this reason.
The Duke is a strong man at the pinnacle of the earth level. Nothing will happen to him. The officer leading the team kept comforting himself along the way.
Unfortunately, when they rushed to the hall of the mansion, they still saw the scene they least wanted to see. The entire hall was in a mess, with corpses of Western Army soldiers everywhere, and in the most conspicuous position in the center of the hall, their most important figure appeared.
familiar person.
There were two fatal wounds on Duke Rose's neck and chest. Although he held a long sword in his hand, there were not many signs of fighting in the hall. It was obvious that the attacker was very powerful. With Duke Rose's earth-level strength,
In addition, several knight-level officers around him did not put up effective resistance.
Faced with this one-sided battle, the surrounding Western Army soldiers also performed very bravely. At least not one of them escaped. They all died in the battle. Most of them were still surrounding Duke Ross. Apparently they were trying their best to protect the general before they died.
.
"Lord Ross!"
Although Ross already had two obvious fatal injuries, the officer still rushed forward and stood beside Ross' body, somewhat unwilling to accept the facts.
This is the God of the Western Border Army. It collapsed like this. It would be okay if they died vigorously on the battlefield together. At worst, they and their subordinates would die together. Many officers of the Western Border Army were in an increasingly bad war situation.
Be prepared to die in battle.
But dying under an assassination was completely unacceptable to the officers who came over. The key was that he couldn't even see an assassin at the scene, so he couldn't find anyone to vent to.
"Get the military doctor quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Surround the mansion and search it for me!"
The unwilling Western Army not only wanted to create a problem for the military doctor, but also mobilized a large number of troops to surround the mansion regardless of whether the assassin's strength was something they could deal with, and began to search for the assassin throughout the city. However, they faced enemies like the Shadow Assassin.
, the frantic Western Army undoubtedly made a useless effort.
…
…
"Lord Taize!"
"News from Guancheng! Lord Ross has been assassinated!"
The soldier who reported the news was the original defender of Longxing Pass and was not a direct descendant of the Western Army. However, there was still a hint of panic when he spoke. Rose's death was definitely bad news for the defenders of Longxing Pass.
There were not many generals who had the ability and prestige to command the Longxingguan army. Thor was the well-deserved number one, but he died at the hands of an old orc during the battle out of the pass.
Ross was slightly second, but as the veteran Duke of the kingdom, he also held 200,000 elites from the Western Region in his hands, so he was also qualified to command the army.
On the contrary, Richard, although he has high strength and prestige, has risen too fast after all. Compared with Thor and Ross, he is slightly inferior in terms of qualifications. But now even Richard is no longer in charge of the overall situation in Longxing Pass. Although in the main pass,
There were still several senior generals alive, but they were all at a loss for the moment. In addition, the frantic Western Army was attacking the whole city in the main pass, causing people to panic. At the most difficult time of Longxing Pass, the command center even had a brief interruption.
confusion.
"This battle is indeed impossible to fight."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Before Taize could react to the chaos in the city, waves of dragon roars could be heard in his ears.
Bailong, on the move...
Dozens of white dots appeared on the horizon and began to approach the city of Longxing Pass. The orc army on the ground, which had just been repulsed, launched a new offensive.
"Prepare for battle!"
As the orcs launched their attack, the human defenders on the city wall still showed sufficient military literacy, and dense footsteps sounded as they each arrived at their positions.
Because a large number of white dragons were dispatched this time, the soldiers operating the Shenwei Crossbow quickly began to pull the noose and pointed the giant arrow into the sky. The shooters responsible for aiming did not dare to blink for a moment and looked at the direction of the white dragon flying, regardless of whether there was
How dangerous, this is the only way they can threaten the orcs.
"General Taize, are we going to evacuate?"
As the battle started, Moriel quietly appeared beside Taize at some point. The human form of Moriel was still in a capable military uniform, but her face was a little heavy.
The sound of fighting was intense on the battlefield, with drums shouting for death, bow strings and thunderclaps blending into one mass. No other soldiers heard what Moriel said beside Taizé.
After hearing what Moriel said, Taize silently shook his head.
"If you want to retreat, you can't retreat now. You must repel the orcs' attack and retreat quietly after dark. Otherwise, being stuck by the orcs will directly lead to a huge rout."
At this time, Taize did not dare to say that he could hold Longxiguan, so he could only implement the second plan, try to delay the time, and find a way to retreat with the hundreds of thousands of troops at Longxiguan, and bring them to the Longxiguan defense line.
Among the subsequent big cities, we must hold on to each city and defend it to prevent all the elites from being destroyed in one battle.
"Sir Richard's order is that if danger arises, we must evacuate first. General Taize, don't be confused."
"If there is an emergency, I will take you away forcibly according to Sir Richard's order."
"I won't embarrass General Moriel."
Richard still has some understanding of the heroic character of his opponents. A fierce and heroic character like Moriel can definitely leave when things cannot be done, and will not stay because of some inner responsibility or kindness.
Dragon's Breath Pass coexists and dies.
But Taize is different. The quality of this barbarian-born hero is absolutely passable. If it were not affected by the system, it would be almost impossible for Taize to abandon the army and escape alone.
Richard didn't want to lose a hero with excellent abilities for no reason, so although he kept him to help direct the defense, he also acted as a backup. If Taize hesitated during the evacuation, Moriel would step in and take him away by force.
"General Moriel! Defeat the attack of the orcs first, and leave the dragon to you!"
"Roar!"
Although she had no intention of fighting to the death for Dragon's Breath Pass, Moriel's tactical skills were not bad, and she could naturally see that she had to repel the orc attack. Without any hesitation, she roared and turned into an ancient black dragon and charged up into the sky.
Then several giant dragons, including the Holy Dragon, rushed into the sky with Moriel. In order to block the orcs' attack, in addition to the fighting on the city wall, the key lies in the giant dragons in the sky. Dozens of white dragons are no longer the city wall.
The remaining divine power of the crossbow can withstand it.
"Roar!"
"boom!"
Because the dragons in the sky were flying fast enough, they fought before the armies on the ground. Due to the losses in the previous battles, the number of dragons under Moriel's command had dropped sharply to single digits.
However, the quality of the dragons under Moriel is ridiculously high. Most of them are poisonous dragons and ancient dragons, whose combat power is equivalent to high-level dragons in the sky. They can easily deal with several white dragons, and even holy dragons that have just begun to fight.
The giant dragon that has entered the holy level, and the ancient white dragon summoned by the White Dragon Helmet for a few days, can still withstand the white dragon that has an absolute numerical advantage.
"boom!"
In this attack, White Dragon deployed almost half of its combat power, including Mace, the new leader of the White Dragon clan, who also appeared in the battle. As soon as the two sides came into contact, they fought against the blue holy dragon. The combat power of both sides was equal.
, it was impossible to tell the winner in the air for a long time, and the battle on the ground was barely sustained under Taize's command.
…
In the distance, the top orcs and the Lord of the Rising Sun's envoy Adelillo stood at an observation point on the peaks on both sides and watched the soldiers from both sides fighting like ants.
"Master Great Shaman, won't you take action? Humanity should have reached its limit. All we need is to help get rid of a few giant dragons..."
"If a human saint-level master doesn't take action, I won't take action either. I don't want to use this body to its limit so soon. Not every time I can be so lucky to find a suitable container."
"The leader of humanity is dead. As long as this continues, the level will be broken within a few days."
"How about Mr. Adelillo go and help those white dragons."
Adelillo said nothing, shook his head, and rejected the orc great shaman's proposal. He was afraid that as soon as he made a move, a human holding a god-killing ring would appear in front of the formation. Even if it was a one-thousandth chance, he would be willing to do so.
To try, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Rand and Rune.
Seeing Adelillo shaking his head without explaining, the orc great shaman was a little more concerned. He had predicted Adelillo's strength. He definitely had the combat power of the realm, plus he might have the artifact in his hand.
With his trump card, it is not impossible to exert combat power that is close to jealousy.
The human side obviously has no combat power that can threaten him, but he has always been afraid of something. He has to find a way to figure out what Adelillo is afraid of. When he invades the Central Plains, who can finally take the lead?
Something Adriello is afraid of.
Although they thought so in their hearts, the great shaman showed no expression on his face. After Adelillo also refused to take action, the two of them continued to watch the ground troops and Bai Long fight desperately on the front line.
The fighting continued until the evening. The orcs who had the upper hand did not need to take risks and had no plans to continue attacking at night. Just before the sun was about to set, the golden sound of retreating troops sounded, and the army retreated to the camp to rest.
The human defenders also took advantage of the darkness to get a brief respite...
