Chapter 737: Something Happened (2)

"Enemy attack!" As the alarm bells and the desolate trumpets sounded, the officers cried out as their countenances changed dramatically, but they were interrupted as tens of thousands of sharp arrows flew out of the forest and landed on the first line of defense of the Maginot wall.

"Ahh My legs ......."

"Help!"

A miserable wail rang out, and although the Maginot Line was a huge wall with a very complete defense system in the eyes of the officers on which the sun never set, it was not perfect, not to mention that the defense system did not mean that it could completely withstand the blows of long-range fire: perhaps you could wrap the entire top of the wall with a baffle, but then the ranged troops guarding the wall would not have enough room to shoot, and the heavy defenses would not be able to exert their power.

Besides, the current section of the Maginot Line in a state of surprise attack is not a defensive area located on the coastline of the King's Inland Sea, but at the end of the eastern line of the entire Maginot Line, a defensive area built on ancient forests, caves, and low hills, and it is precisely here that the attackers can inflict surprise effects.

Moreover, there is not a single legion of the army that never sets the sun here, or the army that does not set the sun does not set on the city wall, and those legions are stationed in the depths of the dense forest nearly a hundred kilometers away from here. At present, there are only 3 regiments stationed here that belong to the 2nd line of the Sunset: the 3rd and 5th Legions of the Hook and Scythe and the 2nd Legion of Reykja, except for a few militia regiments that assist in the construction and repair of the fortifications in this area.

On the other hand, even if the weapons equipped by the army are known for their sophistication, they are still a little low-grade in front of these people at this time: after the rain of arrows, countless dwarven warriors armed with sophisticated battle axes, war hammers or heavy crossbows rushed out of the dense primeval forest, colleagues, simple disassembly engineering chariots, and even the strongest siege equipment known as the treasure of the dwarven clan (the dwarves here must remove the Mo forging people. The reason is complicated, and it will be said later that it can be roughly seen that the Mo forging people were abandoned by the dwarves) The flame hammer also appeared.

This kind of heavy siege cone, which contains a large amount of flame core inside and dwarven steel on the outside, can not only rely on the power provided by the flame core to crash through the city gate in a short time, but also break through the city gate that has been cast molten iron and molten steel in a certain period of time, after all, the dwarven hundred steel that is burned red by the core of the flame can melt the iron plate into water.

"Shoot back! Back! We are the warriors of the empire on which the sun never sets, and we will not be defeated! For the sun never sets! "Although the short-term chaos made the Sunset side become powerless, and even made the dwarves from the Holy Light Empire carry war equipment to the open space less than 100 meters away from the city wall, but fortunately, the drills of the Sunset side army were still very useful, and the soldiers of the three Sunset Second Line Legions under the command of the Sunset officers quickly returned to their normal state. At the same time, the militiamen who never set the sun also recovered and began to transport war materials to the top of the city walls.

Perhaps it was because in the eyes of Sun Lin and the high-level of the Sun Immortal Military Department, the area in this area would not be attacked by the enemy, so the city defense equipment originally deployed here was due to various reasons. The officers of the Dismount Maginot Line were transferred in various ways to the coastal line, so that the sun never set on the side of the resistance. However, it did not actually cause damage to the dwarven warriors of the Holy Light Empire.

Watch as the dwarven warriors rush towards the walls like a tidal wave. And thinking about the march of the city wall with the help of engineering equipment, a regimental-level officer who was on the front line of the attacked defense line was already extremely pale, and even a little pale, because only he knew how fragile the jumping defense line he was guarding in front of him was.

"Your Excellency Commander Aiden, news has come from the front line that the 7th Dwarven Legion from the Divine Light Empire has begun to set up siege equipment below the city walls and in the gate area. It may not be a few minutes before the enemy will be able to climb the walls. A heavily armored Sunset swordsman trotted up to the left of the Sunset officer and said, "This area will become very dangerous at that time, and I beg your Excellency the Commander to withdraw to the second line of defense..."

"Do you mean you want me to escape? Investigator of Locks. "After experiencing countless changes in his face, perhaps it is the sense of honor of a soldier who never sets. Or for some other reason, the Sunless Legion, while holding the sword at his waist in his right hand, said to the heavily armored Dick man in front of him: "Cross, now that I am a soldier of the Sunset, I have insulted this sacred profession, but I will not do the same thing again. ”

"But Commander Aiden, you must know that there are no more than one hand of officers guarding here, and although we cannot escape from the battle at the moment of the great enemy, we must also ensure that we have enough commanders to command the soldiers to fight, otherwise even if we have the defensive equipment along the coast, we will not be able to resist the enemy's attack."

"Our goal in the first place was not to fend off the enemy's attack, Mr. Scout." Aiden shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Cross, you used to be the overseer of this area, and now you are not only a scout, but also the temporary equipment management officer of this city wall, you know and understand better than me....... or all the soldiers who are guarding this area know that we can't resist such a dwarf attack at all, even if this time it looks more like a tentative attack, these dwarves are too many!" ”

After looking around at the unconcealable look of fear on the faces of the soldiers who never set, Aiden seemed to have made up his mind, pressed his hand on Locks' shoulder and said: "Commander Pollock was killed as soon as the enemy attacked, he died to cover me, I was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so I covered it up with a few corpses around it, in case his death shook the heart of our army, do you know what I mean by this." ”

"What? Doesn't that mean that you are the only one who can command the game at the moment? Locks said with an ugly face: "Then you must ......... now, Your Excellency."

"No, Rocks." Aiden interrupted the sunset scout's words and said very seriously: "You should say that I am the only one who can stand up and save the hearts of the army at present." ”

"Hey." After a long sigh, Aiden continued: "You are not a fool, you should already know how far the morale of our army has dropped now, if I retreat now, it may be to a certain extent to ensure that the sun does not set in this area The army can fight under the command, instead of fighting blindly, but on the other hand, it will inevitably reduce the morale of my army again, you must know that the so-called strategic retreat of Lu Dao in the minds of those soldiers is to escape from the battle, and when the news of the death of Pollock Commander comes out again." Then the situation will become unimaginable to myself, and then we will have no hope, and for the sake of the whole battle, I must make a save, save that glimmer of hope. ”

"Pollock, I now ask you to complete the task I have given, first, evacuate to the 2nd line with the body of the Pollock corps commander, I will not allow the corpse of the person who saved my life to be insulted by the enemy: second, go back and organize the second line of defense, take my military badge, the officers will listen to you, and I also believe in your ability, the third line of defense should not continue to be built, now there is no point in building the third line of defense, it is better to use the stones used to build the city wall to fight the enemy, third, Sherlock you have to remember, Our goal now is not to repel but to delay, the longer we delay, the greater our hope of victory, and in the end, we must try our best to get the news here to His Majesty and the Timberwolf General in the depths of the forest as quickly as possible. ”

"And what about you, Commander? What kind of consciousness do you say this? ”

"What do you mean?" Aiden laughed at himself and said to Locks: "I want to get a glimmer of hope for us, for the entire empire on which the sun never sets, and if you still admit that you are my subordinates, go and carry out my orders now." ”

“……… I understand the commander. After a second of silence, Locks said.

"By the way, Locks, what to do after the city wall falls, I don't think you don't know what to do." Looking at the back of Locks leaving, Aiden suddenly said loudly, and this time Locks did not answer Aiden, but turned around and made a knightly salute and wanted to run under the city wall.

And a few seconds later, the words of the commander of the Legion that the sun never sets shouted with all his strength resounded on the city wall: "Listen, everyone! I am the commander of the Sun Never Sets, I was the defeated general of the Water Qilin Empire, I insulted the profession of a soldier, and it was the Sun That Never Set gave me a chance to change again, so I won't make a mistake this time! Those enemies will never let me bend my knees! My story, our story will be a legend, and we are creating a legend now! ”

The voice was not very loud, but it reached the minds of every Sunset warrior, and at this moment, the dwarven warriors who climbed the city wall with shouts of killing could see with their own eyes the anger that made them feel terrified in the eyes of those Sunset soldiers who were wearing equipment that were several levels worse than them.

On the city wall, splashes of blood instantly stained all the stone bricks......... (To be continued......)
