"Boom, boom, boom........."

"The siege weapons that don't set on the sun are really powerful, and I think that if they bombard for a few more days, then this city wall will really be unbearable." After the Duke of Flame Lion assigned the task of defending the city, the captains and counts of the Griffin Empire who guarded the Demon Flame Castle were assigned to various areas of the castle, and at this time, the two counts in charge of the front were standing at the second line of defense of the Demon Flame Castle to observe the battle situation on the front line, and after visually inspecting the battle situation in front for a while, one of the counts named Marin said to his fellow Count Willis beside him.

"yes." Count Willis swallowed and replied, "Although this thing is twice as small as the Staff of Judgment of the Holy Light Empire, its power has not diminished in the slightest, do you know what the soldiers on the front line hurriedly got into with a trailer just now?" I just passed by and looked,, that thing is the cannonball that those guys fired. ”

"What kind of thing?" Curiosity led Count Marin to take a great interest in what was fired by that mysterious weapon.

"More than 60 kilograms of iron balls, I believe that if that thing hits someone, it will definitely die." Willis said with a look of fear: "Although that thing is not as heavy as the thing thrown by the dwarven stone thrower, at that time, Brother Marlin, I think you have also seen it, that thing flies faster than the crossbow arrows that shoot out, and a large part of the armor-piercing ability of the crossbow depends on the flight speed of the arrows, and now our city walls are like those strong armor, and these mysterious weapons are like those dwarven crossbow arrows with strong armor-piercing power." Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that these artillery bombardments hadn't knocked down the city wall for so long, I really didn't know that the defense of the city wall we built in the first place was so good. ”

"But no matter how good the walls are, they can't withstand the constant destruction of this weapon." Marin smiled bitterly: "Although I heard that this weapon needs to be stopped after 3 hours of use each time, the rest time during this period is no more than 2 hours. In this way, even if these cannons can't destroy the outer city wall in one day, two days is enough. ”

"Afraid, afraid of what? In addition to the outer walls, we have two walls. After trying to calm his mood, Willis plucked up the courage and said confidently: "In this case, no matter how fast the navy of the empire does not set, it will take nearly a week to fully break through the defense system of our Demon Flame Castle, and the Duke has not already said before, as long as it takes less than 3 days, our first support army will arrive at the Demon Flame Castle, which is a force composed entirely of heavy infantry." There are more than 50,000 people, and the Empire will not be able to break through the Demon Flame Castle even if the sun never sets. ”

"Yes, the sun will definitely return in vain when the sun doesn't set. Hahaha, uh! Hearing Willis also smile reassuringly, but before the smile lasted on his face for a few seconds, a huge question appeared in Marin's mind, and at the same time, he suddenly poked Marin beside him with his elbow and asked, "Then you said that the sun does not set, why do people want to occupy our Demon Flame Castle." ”

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Marin, who was really happy, said with a puzzled expression. But still according to yourself. Or rather, it was everyone's train of thought that answered Willis: "Didn't the old duke already say this question before?" That is to occupy our Demon Flame Castle and cut off our logistics line. ”

"No, you misunderstood me." Willis shook his head and said, "Of course I know this, I didn't mean this when I asked before, so let's put it this way, you see, the sun doesn't set is not a fool, right?" Since they were able to complete the defense of the Maginot Line that they had committed while joining forces with the Divine Light Empire, it means that the other party's wisdom is completely a demonic existence, right? ”

"Right? What are you talking about? Am I more confused? Marin scratched his head in confusion and replied.

"That's right, since the sun never sets the empire is so smart. And it is said that the intelligence system of the Sunset Empire is stronger than our alliance with the Holy Light Empire, so I think these Sunset Navy should know that our reinforcements should arrive at the Demon Flame Castle within 3 days to make a backhand, so in this case, why does the Sunset Empire still want to occupy the Demon Flame Castle? And if you think about it, the sun never sets and wants to cut off the logistics line is not just to occupy our Demon Flame Castle, most of the cargo transportation and military transportation of our Griffin Empire are completed in those trade ports and military ports, we are just a small port under the Demon Flame Castle, and the throughput per week is extremely limited, so it stands to reason that they should not use this place as an attack point at all. ”

"Uh......... Isn't this close to the Holy Light Harbor, maybe this is just a target for them to attack in passing? Willis said this, Marin himself also felt that there was something strange about the attack of the Empire on which the sun never sets, but the problem was that he couldn't think of this strange place for a while, so after pondering for a while, Marin said what he thought was closest to the answer, but this statement was also vetoed by Willis in an instant.

"It's impossible!" Willis said with a serious face, because Willis is the only earl in the Demon Flame Castle who has in-depth research on naval warfare, and he is also an auxiliary officer of the Demon Flame Castle that was originally stationed in the navy, so he knows some naval combat guidelines: "If it is really what you said about the way, then why the sun does not set, you have to send a whole fleet to attack, and even put the strength of 3 legions and more than a dozen powerful siege weapons on the scorched earth. In fact, according to the habit of the navy in peacetime, as long as you use long-range weapons to strike on the seaside, and I have already said before, the port of our Demon Flame Castle is just a small port, not a real logistics supply area, and the side that does not set the sun must know this before attacking, so in fact, the sun does not set on this side, as long as the fleet is sailing, each warship is just bombing our port with long-range weapons on the way, as you just saw, The long-range weapons on the side on which the sun never sets are very powerful, and as long as they take turns to carry out long-range strikes on the port3, I estimate that in 2 or 3 months, our port will not be able to resume operation again. Then the mission of the empire on which the sun never sets will be completed, but this is not the case, they have been here for more than an hour. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing. And most importantly, even if the Sun Never Sets Empire can capture our Demon Flame Castle within 3 days, will they be able to defend our Demon Flame Castle after 3 days? You must know that the sun does not set, but it is the navy! Navy! , that is, some beings who can be completely crushed by any heavy army, and they can't beat the size of the heavy troops in the battle on land, no matter how many they are, and do you think they are enough? In addition, those Naga warriors are not enough, and the navy is dominated by elite soldiers. It's not the Army, as I just said, they're the Navy! Navy! ”

"There's something really weird." Willis's remarks finally impressed Marin. It can also be said that Marin finally realized that there was indeed a problem with the situation in front of him, and the problem was very big, and the Naga troops who thought that the sun never set had not appeared at this time, and the two of them were very curious to find it before. The Xiyi people outside were not in an offensive posture at all. It was a defensive stance, which was previously thought by the defending generals to prevent their own side from sending troops out to destroy the artillery, but now it was the most obvious 'problematic' of all the oddities under Willis's remarks. ”

"Willis, what do you think the sun doesn't set on?" Marin asked.

"This .........." Willis really hadn't thought about this before this, because his mind was full of the strange place where the sun never sets, but under Marin's inquiry, Willis finally focused all his attention on the true purpose of the sunset, and it didn't matter. Thinking about Willis, his face instantly became very embarrassed.

"What, what's wrong, Brother Willis." Seeing Willis's face darkened. Marin on the side couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's just a very bad outcome." Willis said in a calm voice: "Brother Marin, I have already said before, if you want to destroy the logistics line that our Demon Flame Castle is responsible for, in fact, you only need to destroy the port area, then I want to say, in this case, why do people want to occupy our Demon Flame Castle, they can directly destroy our Demon Flame Castle!" ”

"That's right! How did I not think of it? Marin patted his forehead and said remorsefully, and then Marin's face changed greatly, and he stammered and asked Willis: "Wait! Willis! You just said that it is okay to destroy it directly, if I am not mistaken, it seems that the Sun Never Sets Empire before attacked the Holy Light Harbor first and then hit our side, right? Is it difficult to say, .........?"

"I should say that this is exactly what happened." Willis said with a wry smile: "We have all been tricked by the navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Even the Holy Light Harbor is also, what captures the Holy Light Port, what occupies the Demon Flame Castle This is a fact that does not exist at all, they do want to destroy our logistics line, but they are destroying rather than occupying it, and this time their goal is completely the Holy Light Harbor, the largest logistics supply area of the Holy Light Empire, they want to make the Holy Light Port disappear from the map of the Central Continent from now on! I guess the reason why they want to feint here is that it may be to give the Holy Light Harbor a sense of confusion, but more importantly, the sun does not set for fear that when they destroy the Holy Light Harbor, our side will send troops over! ”

"The abominable sun never sets! We can't let their plans succeed, these hateful bastards! Walk! Brother Willis, let's go and tell the news to Lord Yanshi now. Marin said through gritted teeth, and then pulled Willis and ran to the interior of the Demon Flame Castle to find the Duke of Firelion.

"Good!" In this regard, Willis could only say with a wry smile, because a new question appeared in his heart again: "Since the sun does not set has calculated our step, then it will definitely be able to calculate our next step, can our side really get the troops to the Holy Light Harbor?" ”.

If Orso were here, he would have answered them, of course, but Orso would have said, "If these guys do pass in time, then the sunset will not only be a Harbor of Light and its defenders." (To be continued......)
