Chapter 963
"Hey 鎯——!!!"
Looking at the thick smoke and skyrocketing fire in the distance, Lucien and the Fiend hunters were shocked. The color changed, and he immediately pulled out the sword behind him, glaring at the elves warriors.
Almost at the same time, the elven warriors behind the little Prince speared out their swords and confronted Fiend Hunter; the tension was like a tight bowstring, which was triggered at once.
Count Eckert, who perceives the direction of the gate on the high tower in the distance, has quickly ordered a Byrne Knight team to rescue - but it is too late, and the explosion of the fire has spread. On the city wall, the sturdy gate gradually shattered and collapsed.
Screaming and exclaiming, one after another amidst the alarm bells, Eckert count, who found that the fire could not be contained, had to order the city wall to be sealed off and watched the ferry gate being breached.
Not far away, six long-awaited elven battleships took the opportunity to sail in and occupied the Jewel River Ferry in front of the Eboden garrison.
The wreckage of the barricade gate is gradually submerged under the moving battleship, and there is nothing left.
The blinking little Prince smiled deeper and looked at the black hair wizard innocently, with a look of expectation in his expression, as if he was intending to provoke him on purpose.
Is this deliberately provoking yourself?
Loren squinted his eyes and raised his "sorcerer" left hand tightly, and slowly stretched it out in front of Little Prince.
Little Prince, who didn't realize it, still stood still motionless.
"Clang——!"
The sharp sound of the collision of the sharp blades exploded between the two, and two afterimages flashed past Loren and Little Prince at the same time-double sword racks Lu Sien was able to withstand the long knife wielded by the elf girl.
"Last time because of Master Loren's tolerance, I asked you to run away." The gray pupil coldly said, staring at the blindfolded elf girl: "Not this time!"
But the elf girl ignored him at all, and looked up anxiously towards Loren: "Master Duke of Byrne, please calm down!
Although your Highness Rodría’s move is not honorable, It is also a kind of tactics; if you act rashly here, it is likely to cause the two armies to riot and the consequences......"
"LuoLi" Little Prince opened the mouth and said with a smile: "You It seems to be interrupted."
"Why are you so abrupt? It's too reckless; Your Excellency Loren Torino just wants to shake hands with me, so you don't have to be so nervous at all."
Feel the gaze behind him and in front of him, the black hair wizard's patted Lucien's shoulder with a calm look.
The knowing gray-eyed boy gritted his teeth and retreated behind Loren unwillingly; the elf girl secretly relieved, and put away the long knife that resembled a walking stick.
The entourage behind both sides silently retreated half a step, but still grasped the sharp blade in their hands, tightening their nerves.
"Look, I'll just say that Dignified Duke of Byrne will not make inappropriate actions when the two sides are negotiating for peace and friendship." While smiling, the little Prince took the initiative to hold it. Loren's hand opened the mouth and said with a smile:
"Even if we can't make peace today, but one day..."
The voice of the little Prince changed suddenly. , The smiling face was distorted to the extreme.
"We will never make peace-even if there is, it will be the peace imposed on you by the empire."
Loren gloomily said with an indifferent expression, tight left hand He continued to increase his strength, as if to crush Little Prince's hand: "Do you think you have caught a good opportunity, thinking you can win by stabbing me when I am not careful?"
"You think too much!"
"As for Eboden...I actually don't care; but now, if you want to continue fighting, then I will accompany you to fight-as long as you want to fight How long will it last until you and the kingdom of Azores behind you are scattered ashes and dispersed smoke?"
Boom!
Next moment, the little Prince, who had lost consciousness in his palm, shook suddenly and collapsed on the beach. The surrounding wizard warriors rushed forward, swinging a knife and watching Loren vigilantly.
The indifferent black hair wizard turned around abruptly, looking towards Lucien and Fiend on both sides:
"Let's go!"
Holding his left hand and being supported by the wizard warriors, the little Prince, who was still in shock, looked at the black hair wizard's leaving back. The cold and stern threat still lingered in his ears, causing the corners of his mouth to tremble slightly.
"His Royal Highness, how are you doing?"
The chief wizard of the Regalia next to Anson Zade asked "concernedly", with a serious expression on his face. Looks like: "Would you like to chase and retaliate?"
He waited until Loren and his party had gone far.
But the little Prince was disinclined to pay attention to at all, staring at Loren's back, with a strange luster, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly aroused.
At that moment, he was convinced that the other party really planned to kill him.
But he resisted it—because he saw clearly that this was a trap, he knew that he must be prepared to dare to be so provocative; and on the open ground of the beach, his strength was less than half of his own. The defenders of Eboden have no chance of winning at all!
Obviously so angry, but this human who killed the chief Eugen of the court can still hold the sharp blade in his hand and maintain the most calm judgment in the anger. This is really...
So interesting!
The pain caused little Prince's expression to be distorted, but he still couldn't control the rise of the corners of his mouth, so that he looked particularly convulsive.
In the distance, one after another trumpets sounded on the towers of the city wall of Eboden, and the army gathered under the city began to withdraw into the city in an orderly manner, calmly deploying defenses; in a moment, the city wall was on one side Another flag was raised, and fully armed silhouettes stood under the flag.
The hussars with long whistles also evacuated to both sides of the city wall, like a fading wave, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the Eboden defenders who quickly completed their preparations, the expressions of the wizard warriors under the city wall were very complicated.
The arrival of reinforcements not only enhanced the morale of the defenders, but also greatly improved the battle strength level of the defenders. At least a few days ago, the Eboden defenders could never be so orderly. There is a degree of advancement and retreat.
This battle has become more difficult than before.
But the little Prince doesn't change face.
On the contrary, he is excited to the point where he needs to be restrained desperately in order not to be exposed; such a tough and challenging opponent makes him ecstatic.
"Have you seen, brave warriors; our friends are expressing his anger in this way." Little Prince slowly got up and hit the dust on his body:
"He is warning us and provoking us-so confident, so arrogant, even the proud Azorean warrior looks much inferior in front of him."
The wizard warriors who heard this one after another one after another. -knee kneels, lower your head and dare not speak.
"Okay, don't look like this, it looks like I'm particularly cruel." Little Prince waved his hand, picking up the painting on the ground very distressed: "Clean up the battlefield and prepare to attack before midnight. "
"Notify the Second Fleet to seize the Gem River Ferry before the enemy blockades it again, and use the launcher to shoot indiscriminately at the city of Eboden. Defeat the morale of the defenders."
"Our Lord Duke of Byrne is now very angry and easily loses his mind-we have to seize such a good opportunity to lure him out of the city to fight with us, or make other irrational actions."
Now? !
Looking at the red sun that had fallen behind him, Anson Zade, who wanted to refute, twitched his throat, put what he wanted to say back in his heart, silently, bowing his head respectfully:
p>"As you bid!"
…………………………
"Be angry, why should you be angry?"
On the high tower of the city wall of Eboden, looking at the worried anger castle count Eckert behind him, the black hair wizard gave a chuckle and turned to look at the busy soldiers on the city wall below his feet.
The arrival of the reinforcements gave Loren great confidence and greatly improved the morale of the defenders-the city defense forces who had been desperate at this moment were staring at themselves with scarlet eyes, motionless standing by themselves. Hold the long spear in his hand tightly in his post. , Just to make a fatal blow at the moment when the enemy is on the head of the city.
The imposing manner is like a rainbow.
"From the very beginning, this so-called'negotiation' is a complete trap." Loren whispered, without seeing the slightest annoyance on his face: "The presence of reinforcements disrupted that Prince Rodría’s plan, so he had to find a way to break the deadlock and induce me to lose my mind."
"It just so happens that I also need to spend some time rectifying the Eboden defenders and reinforcements. , To complete the next deployment plan-so to a certain extent, we all get what we need."
"Then the gate of the Jewel River to the sea?" Act Count frowned.
Loren shook his head, looking helpless.
"The sluice gate was captured. It was indeed beyond my expectation-but it was also impossible. Without the castle, we couldn’t keep the gate to the sea at all. It was only sooner or later that the enemy captured it. Things." The black hair wizard changed the subject:
"But what about?"
Huh?
Eckert count showed a confused expression.
"Yes, after the gate was captured, the enemy can indeed attack Eboden from two directions at the same time-but I guess that His Highness the Prince should do even better, let his army from the gem He ferry landed, besieged from all sides, trapped us."
"But the price of doing this is that he scores soldiers." Loren smiled and shook his head, watching the sun set on the sea level: "So As a result, the Eboden garrison can easily withdraw from the city wall defense line and enter the inner city to defend."
"The only thing he can do is to use the heavy ballistas on the battleship to strike the houses in the city and Fortress; but the sewer network is underground in the city, and even the Evil God puppet can’t break through, so he is even more impossible!"
Eckert count finally understood: "So...the reason why you deliberately Behaving very angry, just to deceive the fairy Prince?"
"Yes, I want him to think that I have been fooled by him, so angry that he can barely keep his sense." black hair wizard The corners of his mouth faintly raised:
"Only in this way, he will seize the opportunity without the slightest hesitation and launch an offensive before the sun sets. In a hurry, the elves will never have time to expand. Probably only a small part of the elite went into the battle, and the rest was used to encircle the city at most."
"Grasp this opportunity, we can withdraw most of the power into the fortress in the city at night and drag Stay with him; let him lose more than the gain!"
For a moment of silence, Eckert Count, who looked at Loren's back, was a little surprised.
Obviously it’s a last-ditch fight. It’s obvious that the enemy has twice as much as oneself, and it’s obviously already surrounded by the whole line, and it’s in a dilemma...
But as long as you look at the thin, very young silhouette in front of you, I don't have the slightest experience of things have reached a dead end; on the contrary, there is an illusion of "maybe you can win".
It's been a long, long time... I haven't experienced this illusion.
In memory, the tall silhouette seen by Acter Count when he was young is gradually overlapping with the black hair wizard in front of him, and it is difficult to distinguish which is memory and which is reality.
"Okay, look at their posture for a while and they won't be able to attack." Turned around and looked towards the somewhat dazed Eckert count, and the smiling Loren patted his shoulder:
"Take advantage of this opportunity, let's see our reinforcements first!"
The silent anger castle count followed his duke and followed his steps.
In the high tower, the three Duchy reinforcement commanders have already been waiting at the map table, and when they saw the black hair wizard walking, they took the initiative to flock to them, smiling very confidently at the corners of their mouths.
It is as if Eboden is not surrounded by all sides, but like the fleet of elves on the opposite side.
"Everyone's expressions look good...very good, so I don't need to work hard to cheer you up." Loren shrugged, opening the mouth and said with ease:
"In that case...Do you know what we are going to do?"
"Stick at Eboden until the arrival of the reinforcements of His Majesty Connold!"
Speak first It was the commander of Elman Legion, who was not tall but very resolute: "As long as there is a soldier in the city before this, the flag of the empire cannot be lowered!"
"Please rest assured, Duke Byrne Before coming, the seven thousand people of Elman Legion had already sworn to the Duke that unless the entire army was killed, they would not let an enemy step into the city for half a step!"
Sure enough, the Elman people have each one. , Are all such stubborn dead brains.
"Not so serious, you think too much." With a smile, the black hair wizard waved his hand quickly: "Actually, what we have to do is very simple-winter is coming, and the wizard on the opposite side can't wait. Enter the city for the winter."
"And those of us who are already in the city, we have to do everything possible to keep them out-or even if we let them in, we will suffer heavy losses and cannot stand firm. "
"They have one hundred thousand people, we only have less than forty thousand, but the control of the city is in our hands; they think we will at all costs on the city wall, confront them on the battlefield, But we won’t do that, because that’s where they have an advantage."
Loren looked around, looking at the eyes that gradually brightened: "That Rodria Azores His Highness the Prince, he thought it would make me angry, and then he lost his mind and obediently walked in the direction he had planned; he thought he could irritate me and then gain the upper hand."
"He succeeded... But he still doesn't know what the consequences of angering me are."
"We have to let this naive His Highness the Prince understand that he has offended the wrong person!"
