The Amber Sword - 1041. Chapter 1041 Act One Hundred and Eighty-Nine The Battle of the White Lion XII

In the first time, the fortress on the sea cliff path outside Fattan Harbor was declared lost. Unpreparedly, the guards on the top of the city were nailed to the wall by the dark steel arrow shot from the darkness. The blood could not flow in the future. It has been frozen. Under the command of the corpse witch, the skeleton hit the car door with a siege machine. The soldiers in the barracks realized that something was not good, but they were already under siege. The resistance in the fortress only lasted for a moment before they died down, together with the soldiers in the barracks. More than 30 soldiers of the Hong Kong Guard were declared dead.

Fattan Port was built as a fortress stationed by the fleet. Its site was selected between a sea of cliffs. There were only two narrow mountain roads connecting the port to the outside world. The Imperial Navy built on these two mountain roads. The sea cliff fortress, the front of the fortress faces the valley leading to this sea cliff, one side is close to the cliff, and the other side is facing the sea. The main city wall is still mountain roads and tidal flats between these five hundred meters, but the terrain is still much gentler and flatter than the previous section.

At this moment, Baron Ludwig and Delphine are on this section of the main city wall 500 meters behind the Sea Cliff Fortress. The wall is already covered with the strength of the White Lion Guard and the Hong Kong Guard, but under the orders of the Prime Minister Qianjin Next, they extinguished all the torches, held their breath, and made no sound. The city wall was completely dark, and several wizards opened the magic barrier to shield the breath of the living, and the spell enveloped the entire city wall.

The baron watched the voice of resistance within the fortress a few hundred meters away finally ceased, and immediately returned to the darkness. He turned his head very annoyed and said to the indifferent Delphine: “Since you know the undead’s sneak attack, why don’t you let them early? Make preparations to hand over the fortress? I know that you have an old gap with those Eruins, but you can’t pull us and die with you.”

He spoke very badly, but ten times more bad words could not make Delphine frown, but she really couldn’t bear the stupid noise and replied coldly: “As the chief military officer of this fortress, please take it. Show some basic military qualities, don’t laugh and be generous in front of others, I didn’t want to remind you, but I’m afraid you will lose the face of the empire in front of your guests.”

“What did you say!”

Baron Ludwig was about to have an attack, and the Count Alkans on the side hurriedly pulled him aside. He knew that although Ludwig was the master of the Port of Fattan, he was actually responsible for maintaining the operation of the port and managing the fleet. The commander of the fleet stationed in the harbor, Baron Ludwig did not actually have much military literacy, he was just a local lord, but he himself had already seen the plan of the prime minister’s daughter, she wanted to These undead were put in, so that the priest had a chance to launch a fatal blow.

The five-hundred-meter narrow and rugged sea cliff mountain road under the main city wall of Fatan Harbour cannot be easily exited once it enters in order to ensure that their’hole cards’ can exert the greatest effect.

It’s just that the main city wall of Fattan Port is not high, only a little over eight meters, which is not enough to see in the fantasy world. Therefore, the weight-bearing did not continue to raise the fence. Now Earl Alcons regrets very much in his heart, and secretly slanders the original design and builder who cut corners. In any case, for an imperial fortress, it is necessary to use magic to inject the underground reinforcement sandbar to build a fortress wall of more than 13 meters, or No matter how bad it is, the level of an average city’s main city wall is ten meters, and that is not so fearful now.

Moreover, although most of the distance from the main wall of Fatan to the sea cliff fortress is a narrow sea cliff mountain road, near the main wall, especially under the city gate, there is an open sandbank terrain, which is very conducive to the undead to deploy troops. There are not many troops left behind in the port of Tanzania. Among them, there are more than a thousand soldiers left in the Hong Kong Guard, and about hundreds of guards from the Eruin envoy. If the’hole cards’ fail to work, they will rely on the low ones. The main city wall and the unfavorable terrain can’t hold the port at all, and maybe even the’hole cards’ have not had time to move to position, and the line of defense is already in a hurry.

But he didn’t dare to speak out the worry in his heart, he just explained it to Baron Ludwig. After listening to the explanation, the latter calmed down and stopped talking. But Yinide, who was next to Ouni, seemed a little bit unbearable, questioning: “Even so, you should notify the people in front of you to withdraw. That’s more than forty lives. How can you keep them in the dark? To die in vain?”

Delphine gave her a cold look: “Women’s benevolence.”

“you–”

Delphine thought for a while, understood that his current position was still on the side of these Eruins, sighed, and explained: “Even if I send someone to inform them, the order I gave them will keep them to the end, but I know They will definitely not do this. They also died under the sword of a military judge when they escaped. Why not let them be heroes without knowing it. This result is at least better for their families.”

Yinide’s wide-open eyes were shining, and he turned around in disbelief and asked, “Is that so, Qiyala?”

The little girl nodded helplessly: “Almost.” But she immediately stared at Delphine and asked: “But more importantly, you want them to die more realistically, right?”

“Almost,” Delphine also replied noncommitantly: “They are soldiers, and I have the right to choose how to let them die. As long as victory can be achieved, there are only stupid and wise commands in war, and no cruel and kind commands. Minute.”

It was snowing and raining, and the slightest amount of rain fell on the faces of the few girls present. Yinide and Ouni frowned. The elf and her pseudo-dragon were lying on the wall to see the situation outside-but because they were too tall. Even if she is short, she can only stick her forehead out of the battlements even if she is on tiptoe desperately, Qiara’s face is indifferent, Delphine’s face is calm, her face is indifferent, and the raindrops slid down her smooth and beautiful face. , Sliding down her ugly and uneven scars.

On the side, Earl Alcons agreed more with this sentence, thinking that she was indeed a woman known as the flower of the empire.

At this time, there was a slight noise in the distant darkness. Everyone present knew that the undead had opened the door on the other side of the fortress and was about to attack Fattan Harbor. Delphine stopped the argument, turned around and gave an order to the Hong Kong Guard officer on the side: “Knight Sherutter!”

“exist!”

“I order you to lead your subordinates out of the city immediately, start a confrontation with the undead, attack the Sea Cliff Fortress, and be sure to recapture the southern part of the fortress wall!”

“What!” Baron Ludwig jumped up in shock, almost let out a low growl from his throat: “Vicious woman, you can’t be so messy, how dare you let my people go out of the city? Hundreds of thousands of times the undead have launched a confrontation, you are crazy, we only have so many people, do you really want to hand over Fattan Harbor?”

Alcons also frowned, and persuaded: “Miss Delphine, our strength is severely insufficient. If we are in the Sea Cliff Fortress, it would be okay, but here we go out of the city to attack, whether in terms of strength or terrain. It is extremely unfavorable to us.”

Delphine was unaffected, and replied indifferently: “Am I the commander or are you the commander? I want to remind you that my commanding power is double confessed by the eldest son of the prince and the earl of Tonigel, and I enjoy it here. The highest command, you must obey my orders unconditionally. Why, do you want to disobey the military orders or turn to battle?”

“You–” Baron Ludwig’s face turned blue: “Do you let us die, and we must obey unconditionally?”

“First of all I have to correct your mistakes. I can’t let my soldiers die in vain. Second, you got the right answer. Even if I want you to die, you must obey unconditionally—” Delphine was sitting in a wheelchair in the rain. , Replied word by word: “Of course, you can object to it. I welcome you to ask the eldest son for advice and remove me from the position of commander. It only takes a quarter of an hour from here to the eldest son. I expect that it will be around this time until the start of the battle, and there is not much time left for you.”

Baron Ludwig’s lips trembled with anger, Marjorie frowned, and stepped forward and replied: “Miss Delphine, let’s go first. The White Lion Guard is ready.”

Who knows that the prime minister’s daughter gave him a cold look: “Shut up, did I ask you to comment? Go back! Knight Commander Marjorie, I don’t think I need to let me tell you that a duty soldier should What are you doing, my order is not bargaining!”

A bolt of lightning pierced straight down from the dark clouds, turning the faces of everyone present into white, shocked, angry, or interested. Only Delphine had not changed the color from beginning to end.

She looked at Sherutter again and asked, “Knight Commander, is your knight’s honor that makes you hesitate and cringe at this moment?”

Xue Lut’s complexion changed. He glanced at the direction of the dark sea cliff fortress outside the city, and finally nodded heavily: “I understand, Madam Commander.”

…

The process of conquering the Sea Cliff Fortress went so smoothly beyond imagination. The plan seemed to have achieved the expected results. The residents of Fattan Harbor and the Eruin people stationed here did not have the slightest defense. They must be in a hurry for this sudden solar eclipse. Did not realize that the empire would launch an attack at this moment. Sock was walking along a flight of stairs to the southern section of the wall of the Shanghai Cliff Fortress. Then he raised his head and looked into Fattan Harbor. The harbor was filled with lights, which seemed to have suffered. Because of the sudden solar eclipse, many people gathered on the street.

He is a subordinate of the White Legion Raven Cavalry, and a subordinate of Harden the Great Knight. Harden the Bull has always been the vanguard of the Legion. This time is no exception. Sock and several other knight commanders are mainly responsible for coordinating and observing on the front line. The offensive situation of the undead: As expected, the undead will form the first wave of this sneak attack, because in the case of a solar eclipse their abilities will be maximized, while the human legion will be severely weakened, with the help of this The undead will attack the outer walls of the Sea Cliff Fortress and Fatan Harbor and enter the street fighting.

The main enemy of the White Legion is the Buga’s fleet anchored in Fatan Port. From the beginning to the end, the Duke of Ambnar believed that the fleet anchored in Fatan Port was controlled by the Bugans. As for Eru Because people are just a guise, how could the Eruins have such a powerful fleet?

So far, the situation on the front line observed by Sock is very good. He saw the bone shelf opened the southern gate of the Sea Cliff Fortress under the order of the corpse witch, and released a small team of tentatively attacked skeletons. These bone shelves are in The lights reflected from the distance glowed with dense white light, and they were lined up in a tight formation. The dark steel sword in his hand did not shine at all, and it was used as a sharp weapon for night attacks.

The skeletons went down the mountain road, and farther away, the direction of the main city wall of Fattan Harbor was pitch black, there was no half-fire light, and there was no movement. The message from the corpse witch in front said that there were only a few stars on the wall. The breath of the living, which is also in line with expectations, it seems that this is indeed an undefended port-at least for the moment.

But for some reason, Sock felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had told several colleagues of this uneasiness before, but he was ridiculed as being too cautious. In the mouth of the cavalry under Barbarian Harden, being cautious actually means timid. Naturally, he couldn’t accept this evaluation. He came to the southern section of the sea cliff fortress to prove his thoughts.

But at least so far, it seems that he is too suspicious.

Suoke thought of all self-deprecating thoughts in his heart. Perhaps it was indeed because the battle was too easy, and it was so easy to be unbelievable, but the twenty or thirty Hong Kong Guard soldiers killed by the undead before did not look like it. It seems to be knowing, it seems that there should be no traps in it. Standing on the city wall, he took a last look at the direction of Fattan Harbor, and most intends to walk down the city wall. It was too cold outside, and several of his colleagues were unwilling to stay in this ghostly weather. They were already in the barracks. I found a warmer place and hid it.

It was at this time that the knight commander Scherut from Fattan Harbor led a small team of his own men to a place not far from the southern part of the sea cliff fortress wall, and according to Delphine’s instructions, they took it with them. A sorcerer, this sorcerer is a Tonigel, and is not very familiar with others, but silently maintains a spell of Breath of the Dead in the team.

Sherutter, who was walking in the front, made a gesture to stop the entire team. Not far from the front was a small group of undead who were leaving the fortress. Under the cold light, a white forest was like a forest of bones. There are hundreds of them-no way, for the undead, this is a small team of skeletons.

Sherutter frowned. The Hong Kong Guard is not the first-line army of the Cruz people. He and his men are barely able to reach the silver level, but they still have a headache to face more than a hundred bones, not to mention that there are still behind the fortress. How much, he raised his head and took a look, and found that there was an abrupt shadow on the southern section of the sea cliff fortress not far away. He quickly turned his head and whispered to his subordinates:

“Have you seen it? It’s a corpse witch. These low-level bone frames are actually commanded by the corpse witch. As long as we kill the corpse witch who is commanding them, they will not be threatening. David, the holy water you got Take it out, take a dip in the arrow, and we will kill that guy with one arrow!”

“As long as I get it down, I’ll do it for you!”
