In the docks of Ascatla City, a young man and woman are saying goodbye.

The young man was handsome and reluctant, but he resolutely said, "Come on board......"

He paused, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Lis, I'm so sorry." ”

"Will you come with me?"

The girl said with tears in her eyes: "You obviously said that going to the dark region is the only way out, why do you want to stay? ”

"I'm sorry ......"

The young man muttered, his eyes reddening, he couldn't bear to look at the girl, for fear that seeing her sad and tearful appearance would change his mind and board the last ship to Fish-Man Island with her.

"I'm a docker's representative, and I ...... They can't be left behind. The man sighed, "They won't go, and neither can I." ”

The couple met Jack the docker and Miss Lis, the aristocratic lady, in the theater on the premiere day of "Titanic".

The two got acquainted with each other because of "Titanic", knew each other, and fell in love.

Liz broke with her family, following Rose's example and boldly escaping from the prison-like home, which had left Ascatla long before the uprising, but she had stayed.

As Am's situation deteriorates, the brilliant and erudite Jack decides that the city of Ascatra will soon fall, and insists that Liz sail to the Dark Lands, while he stays in the city and fights for the city.

Mobilized by Jack, most of the dockers followed his advice and headed to the Dark Regions.

But some of the dockers would rather die in battle in the city of Ascatra than leave their homes, in their words: "Working and living in a place where there is no sea, the Ammen will go mad with misery!" ”

Jack is in a dilemma, he knows how much sacrifice Liz has made for him, losing her status as a noble lady, a prosperous life, and even breaking with her family, her father openly declares that there is no such daughter.

Jack had secretly vowed to do everything in his power to make this beautiful and intelligent girl live a happier life than a noble lady.

However, in addition to love and family, men also have unshirkable responsibilities.

The docker brothers saw him as a leader and took part in the uprising under his command, and Jack was unwilling to abandon them and watched them die.

"Jack, come aboard with me."

Lisi grabbed Jack's arm tightly and refused to let go, as if as soon as he let go, Jack would fall into a cliff: "What's the point of me going to the Dark Regions without you by my side?" It's better to fight with you until the last moment......"

Jack took Lis's hand and broke it away: "For the sake of our children, please try to live, the path that Mr. Bredrow has shown us will not be wrong, I may not see the country of freedom he described, our children can see, can live in that country." Sorry ......"

Jack resolutely turned around, left his pregnant wife on his knees and wept, and strode away.

……

After the Grey Dwarven Guerrillas' night attack sniper tactics were cracked by the Archmage, the raids were stopped, and the Knights marched much faster, and soon arrived at the city of Asakara.

The city of Ascatla, the capital of Am, had a high wall, and the militia climbed the city wall and mounted Miner's rifles on the battlements to aim at the troops in the outer cities.

Jack held his trolley rifle and frowned.

The enemy army was a well-trained elite knight, lined up in a neat formation outside the city, and priests in ornate robes prayed in front of the battle array, blessing the soldiers with divine blessings.

The enemy learned his lesson, the soldiers were equipped with metal tower shields, and the mages did not blindly expose their bodies, and each mage had four shield-wielding warriors by his side to shield him from bullets.

Unlike the well-groomed Knights, the militia defending the city was like a plate of scattered sand, and even the leaders of the uprising, the members of the New Six Council, had a blank look in their eyes.

The citizens did not know how to fight, and their morale was declining after the uprising, with only more than 3,000 men on the city walls, 600 rifles were distributed, and many of the defenders of the city were only given magic crystal bombs.

And the enemies, the elite of the six knights, Baldur's Gate and Tesser, also sent troops to help in the battle, and the enemy troops under the city seem to be all over the mountains, roughly estimated, at least more than 50,000.

Jack knew in his heart that there was no chance of winning this battle, but someone had to stand up, someone had to fight for this revolution until the last moment.

A day before the city of Ascatra falls will attract the enemy, and the more time it takes to delay, the better the chance that those who leave by sea will reach Fish-Man Island safely.

He stayed, partly to take responsibility and lead the dockers who had decided to stay, and to cover the evacuation of Am's fleet.

One of the war etiquettes in the continent of Faren is that the generals of the two sides meet before the battle, and if it is a siege battle, the attacking side will send envoys to persuade the city to surrender.

However, the Knights' coalition did not follow this etiquette, and without a messenger to persuade them to surrender or officially declare war, the mages of the Knights of the Mystic Fire approached the walls under the cover of shield-wielding soldiers.

As soon as the militiamen, who had no combat experience, saw the enemy approaching, they began to shoot indiscriminately, but the large metal tower shields that were specially reinforced and thickened effectively blocked the projectiles, and the panicked militiamen threw magic crystal bombs with all their might, but the bomb range was limited, and it could not hit the shield-wielding soldiers approaching from a distance of 150 yards.

The mage hiding behind the steel shield slowly entered the cast range of eight hundred yards, and the bullets fired from the walls were blocked by the shield, and the bombs thrown were far from enough.

After the lengthy incantation was recited, the sky suddenly distorted, and huge flaming meteorites were summoned from the astral plane, dragging the flaming tail flames, and slammed into the city walls.

Nine Rings Spell Comet Magic!

Serious mages, if you want to break through a city, it's really not difficult. The towering walls are no different from a castle made of sand to mages who wield the power to destroy the world.

The meteorite smashed into the city wall, and the violent explosion and flames swept past, tearing the dozen or so people who defended the city to pieces and burning to ashes.

Just a round of magic from the high-ranking mages of the Knights of the Mystic Fire Knights destroyed a large part of the strong walls of Ascaltra, and the gates and gatehouses were burning.

The seemingly impregnable city wall was also riddled with cracks, and a large section of the wall that was hit by a meteorite collapsed.

Blown away by a huge wave of air, Jack fell off the city wall and landed on the roof of the Crooked Crane Inn in the city gate district, smashed through the beams of the house in disrepair, and fell into the inn, where he was falling onto a simple bed made of straw.

"The resistance was much weaker than expected."

The Flame Fist General drew his sword and slashed down: "The mage has broken the enemy's resistance, knights, start attacking the city!" ”
