Chapter 1069
"No, absolutely impossible!"
Almost before Drexis finished speaking, Connold categorically refused: "I understand what you mean , But I’m absolutely impossible to do so-Dragon Wang Family Clan Dersis, there is no deserter, and there is no deserter emperor!"
"Your Majesty——!!!"
The anxious Dresis was trembling almost from head to toe.
In fact, when he heard that the outer retaining wall fell and the city gate was breached, Dresis was still very calm-because of the special structure of the broken boundary mountain, even if the city gate is breached, it does not mean Conquer the fortress; not to mention the narrow terrain, the corridors that only two people can pass side by side, are enough to block the front of the Azores.
Even if the enemy has 40,000 troops, how many troops can you deploy in a fortress with many institutions, and how wide can you widen the front line-even if there are a million troops, there can be two at the same time. Three thousand is the limit!
What's more, the destruction of the city is not the result of a strong attack by the enemy, but a sneak attack; the enemy's preparations are also insufficient, as long as they stand firm while waiting for reinforcements while fighting the enemy, it is enough for them Understand that taking the city gate does not mean victory, and it is likely to mean defeat.
What really turned the tide of the battle was the news that the office room was captured.
The enemy’s frontal assaults and offensives are just a cover. They knew from the very beginning that their target was in the agency room—the Azores who captured there not only opened the city gate, but also locked it. The gate of the inner city wall cannot be lowered.
This directly caused the army that fought on the front line of the outer city wall was completely defeated, and even the sudden increase of the enemy and the front and back flanking caused not only the front line to miss, but also the defeated army. The same ten does not save one!
The collapse of the inner city gate means that the defenders of the Duanjieshan Fortress can no longer rely on the outer protective wall and various fortifications designed for foreign invasions. They must open up the area in front of the innermost inner fort. In the middle, fight the enemy head-on until the fortress completely falls.
For Drexis, such a battle is almost planned. The Legion soldiers guarding the fortress have also practiced similar situations countless times; even if the castle is deeply trapped and killed There is nothing to die at worst, because the enemy will pay ten times a hundred times, or even a heavier price for it.
But the situation is different now, because Connold-the emperor of the empire is here!
Once the enemy invades the inner castle, Drexis cannot guarantee that there will be no wizard breakthrough direction, rushing into the tower to kill Connold; and in accordance with the attack method of the elves, this The situation is very likely.
Even their purpose of launching a raid on the Fortress of Duanjieshan is only, there is a high probability that it is to kill the emperor of the empire!
Just like what they did in the Sky Palace not long ago!
"I understand your loyalty and respect your ideas, but Drexis, I will not leave." Connold said solemnly: "I'm impossible to abandon me at this time Warriors, run away alone—that’s not what the emperor did."
"If the'sage' Brandon I can fight side by side with the Legion soldiers at the last minute, if the'Queen of the Dragon' Charlotte I can charge if, if my father...my father Eckhart II can face his own death bravely..."
"I, Connold I, the first of the empire There is no reason why the thirteenth generation of the Supreme Emperor can't do it!"
Dressis, kneeling in front of the emperor, was completely motionless.
"I understand what you think, but I know better what my responsibilities are; if the Sacrament Empire and the Vault of Heaven are in wind and rain, I will be the first in history. The emperor who was'escaped', that was the fatal blow to the Empire and Desalion's Imperial Family!"
Facing the loyal adjutant, Connold sighed very rare. An earnest look: "So Drexis, I ask you to perform your duties as the commander of Legion-if necessary, the preservation of your troops is the top priority."
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't be so sad, Drexis, we have not experienced this kind of battle together." The emperor's stiff mouth squeezed out a smile very reluctantly:
"As long as Brandon’s reinforcements rush in time At that time, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Of course, I can't bear to abandon the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain-do you remember the battle of Ice Cliff?"
"Of course I remember!" Dray Sith heavily nodded.
"That time I was too confident, and I failed miserably in the evening. I was killed by dozens of desperate icy werewolves through the shield wall; but I won back after two quarters of an hour because I knew The ranger you led is in the vicinity and will definitely be able to arrive in time."
In the words, his memory seems to go back several decades ago, that he was still young and was assigned to the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain by his father. Time of experience.
At that time, Brandon had become a dragon rider. At that time, he was still a youngster full of blood. In order to save the face lost at Jufeng Mountain, he tried to wipe out the biggest in Shannan by the strength of oneself. A tribe of werewolves in the ice plains.
Then... I know what the cost of overestimate one's capabilities and excessive pride is.
The robes that normally fought side by side with themselves fell one by one in order to protect themselves; desperately shouting, the attendants who wanted to take their own sleeves to escape, were pushed to the ground by themselves, and the result changed It became the food in the werewolf’s mouth;
But in the end, I still won—not because I commanded properly, but because I was lucky, and Drexis’s cavalry was in the vicinity.
"This time...the same!"
Connold stood up, and the blazing fire burned in those bright red pupils.
"Follow the order, Drecis-the enemy has already invaded the inner castle, and the extra troops are meaningless; lead the wounded and Boe’s hussars to prepare for retreat; tell them Don’t have any worries, and retreat safely as soon as possible."
"If you encounter the elves, don’t entangle them and let them go; if they want to destroy or snatch the supplies in the fortress, just let them grab them, which can be delayed. The speed of the offensive."
"By the way, the safety of Grand Duke Sarika Jonah and the Byrne wizards must be ensured. Byrne and Boyne are very important to the empire; no matter what Accidents can't hurt them anymore."
"...yes."
Drecis got up with difficulty, gritted his teeth and said solemnly.
It wasn't until the opponent left that Connold's eyes finally softened a little; the looked thoughtful expression looked at the ring in his hand that symbolized Desalion's imperial power.
Eckhardt II...the Twelfth generation emperor of the empire...his father, the omnipotent who knows everything, even his life can be used as chess pieces, facing the Azores What do you think when the wizard's blade?
Or even his own death was in his expectation?
That’s right...No matter how bragging about the modification, the essence will not change—I can’t bear the shame of defeat at all, let alone be the coward in the eyes of the soldiers; I would rather die in battle. Nor can I be willing to be that kind of self.
I would rather die in glory than live in shame... nothing more.
Since the situation has fallen so far, let's see if this time I can still turn defeat into victory at the last moment like the battle of the ice cliff many years ago.
The silently raised Connold Dessalion held his sword tightly, took a battle flag from the corner of the wall, and strode out of the room.
…………………
cold wind whistling, the battle flag hunting!
After the elven warriors rushing into the fortress of Brokenfield Mountain desperately rushed through the city wall, crossed the defense line and rushed into the inner fort, they immediately collided with the standing Legion soldiers, a tragic Hand-to-hand combat is being staged in a pool of heavy blood.
Both the elves and the guards of Broken Frontier Mountain are fighting desperately. Everyone knows that no one can lose the battle until this step;
If the army is defeated, the fortress of Duanjieshan will fall;
If the elves retreat, they will be collapsed in place by heavy casualties and illnesses alone; they will collapse in place; freeze to death, starve to death, Died in the glacier wasteland.
So you can only win, not lose!
As time passed, the initial stalemate soon began to change-the Legion soldiers of the empire had stronger stamina, but their number was far less than the influx of elves; Nearly not only killing, the terrifying wizard warrior, the soldiers of the defending army are quickly sliding down.
Although the poor elves warriors are obviously inferior to the defenders in physical fitness, their number and morale are their advantages; especially when their morale is like a rainbow to break through the city wall and shred one after After another line of defense rushed to the inner castle, the advantage of this point became more obvious.
Even standing at the back of the queue, the elf warrior surrounded by banners has already begun to figure out how long it will take to conquer the fortress, and whether it can reduce casualties as much as possible.
After all, although every elven warrior is very willing to dedicate his life to His Majesty Xiong Yingwang, but only when they are alive can they have the value of existence...
"Your Majesty, your Majesty—— !"
Just as the enemy began to figure out how to win, an excited shout suddenly erupted in the array of the defenders of Duanjieshan; a flag-bearer waving a battle flag excitedly pointed at the inner fort behind him At the top of the tower, a lone silhouette stood there, holding the Iron Crown banner high in his hand, overlooking the entire battlefield.
"Your Majesty Connold, he did not leave!"
"Your Majesty did not abandon us, he is still watching them on the tower of the fortress!"
"Your Majesty did not flee with the wounded, he is still fighting side by side with us!"
The excitement shouts one after another, and many Duanjieshan veterans who have fought with Connold for many years even have a sore nose. , His face was full of tears.
"The soldiers of the empire, the believers of the Holy Cross!" Knight swore a bloody oath, brandishing a great sword and shouting loudly:
"The agent of the Holy Cross in the world, Guardian of her teachings, your emperor is still here, he has not left, he is still watching how we fight! He entrusted his life and the future of the empire to us, entrusted to us sword, shield and flesh and blood !"
"Warriors of the empire, please fight for the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor——————!!!"
Roar like thunder, resounding through Duanjieshan!
The defenders of Duanjieshan who were forced to retreat suddenly rose in morale and fell into a state of frantic fighting; even many officers directly dropped their shields, raised battle halberd and pledged to Knight. Together, they charged the enemy and pushed the front line back to the original point.
But this momentum did not last long, because the disadvantages in numbers were too obvious; even if the defenders of Duanjieshan had really reached the point of giving up their lives, they could only slow down the pace of the enemy’s offensive. That's it.
"What, that is the emperor of the empire?!"
Looking at the guard who suddenly came back to report the letter, with an excited expression on his face, the elf warrior was also excited to flush with his cheeks.
In fact, when the morale of the imperial people suddenly changed, he faintly felt that it was possible, but he was not sure; after all, an emperor had already died at the hands of the elves, and the imperial people would definitely try to avoid This kind of thing happened a second time.
But now there is a golden opportunity, a good opportunity to slay the imperial emperor on the frontal battlefield.
This is not a sneaky assassination, but a fair and impartial defeat of the opponent on the battlefield, and then take his head from the opponent-for the warrior, even one-to-one No duel can be more glorious than this.
This is an honor that even the Siting warrior, the Princes of the Azores royal family, and even His Majesty Xiong Yingwang himself did not get!
With a light swipe, you will become the biggest hero in this war!
"Through my order, the first Thousand Man Squad, the second Thousand Man Squad, and the third Thousand Man Squad will be responsible for the cover. The fourth, fifth and sixth will immediately start the assault. Open enemy lines-even if there is only one person rushing over, it is considered a victory!"
The wizard warrior is so excited that she can't turn her side angrily roared: "Tell every wizard warrior, who can rush in first The tower, behead the imperial man waving the battle flag. He is the greatest hero of the Azores. I am willing to give him all my glory!"
"Take down the mountain of Duanjie, Kill the emperor! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" The guard was also trembling with excitement:
"Take the Duanjie Mountain and kill the emperor!"
>Soon, every Thousand Man Squad’s command was issued to the ears of the wizard warriors. The wizard warriors who received the news were even more excited than the fanatical empires on the opposite side; The "sense of destiny" in the annals of history makes every elf warrior become desperate.
The battlefield that was originally considered "orderly" suddenly became extremely chaotic; the elf warrior, who no longer cared about his comrades, collided with the guards of Duanjieshan who had forgotten their lives. Want to pass as soon as possible, one desperately pushes the other back, the two sides fell into a very strange situation.
On both sides of the melee, only a handful of officers and warriors remembered their original mission. Finally, the fighting front maintained a little "order", but only a little bit.
The outcome of the battle no longer depends on discipline and order, but on which side's fanatical morale collapses first.
