Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 187 Offensive and defensive stalemate
After time seemed to stand still, Feder felt a little distracted. The sound is a bit difficult to pass through the ears, and the hands and feet are just continuing their previous inertial movements, which do not work very effectively. When he and his men walked up to the top of the city wall, he glanced down at the shield at his waist, and saw that this unknown weapon of life was still there, so he relaxed and continued to move in the direction where the Virgin Golia was.
Goliath and her apprentices on the high platform had already noticed that the widow mercenary group was charging in this direction, and Ji'er immediately focused on using those fire magic to meet it, the hunchbacked man was hit in the calf by a javelin at some point and was lying on the side to bandage himself, and the white-robed boy panicked and put away the magic wall and handed the wooden staff back to the saint Golia. Goliath looked several years old, and she was sweating profusely, and her hands were trembling a little from the wooden staff.
Fed's men took the lead, rushing across the platform and heading straight for the group of widows who were screaming and screaming. Among them, Noor even followed the teachings of Fid and Ayana and used the enchanted weapon "Sun" to attack those enemy mercenaries. The "Sun" was bulky and thick, but Noor's body was very strong, and a strong sweep could hit several widows, and the "Sun" was really able to absorb blood, and the wounds hit by the tip of the halberd were instantly sucked out a lot of blood, but the widows who were injured but did not die collapsed at once.
But the mercenaries on both sides quickly collided together, and the blood-sucking halberd could hardly function in this environment, so Nur had to carry it back on his back and take out his steel knife to fight the enemy.
Ayana guarded Fed's side, and Feder walked up to St. Goria, "Sage Maiden, in the Potato Mercenary Regiment..."
"Captain Feide, the rest is up to you. The Virgen Golia interrupted Fett's self-introduction, and she immediately turned away with the support of Ji'er and the white-robed boy, and hurriedly parted without even looking at Fed. The two life-threatening weapons were separated on the battlefield, and Goliath looked tired, and Feld guessed that it was because of the thunder and lightning magic that the other party had just used.
Now the sun is shining over the city of Doret, and the rain and lightning have stopped. The city of Doret was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight from the west, and although the battle in the city continued, after those terrible white lightning attacks, the situation that was originally unfavorable to the Western Oguna Empire may have changed dramatically. The melee of the mercenaries on the city walls was only a microcosm of the battle between the defenders and the invading army, and Fei De estimated that the battle would not end until the sun went down.
Fei De slowly pulled out the "silence", and after fighting for several hours, he felt his limbs ache, but when he saw the leader and deputy head of the widow mercenary group begin to retreat and escape from the city wall, Fei De also raised his sword and fought into the enemy line with his men.
"Master, we forgot that the mercenary still had itβ" One of Ludwig's men followed Ludwig closely, reminding his master and watching warily behind him.
"Don't talk nonsense! Of course I remember, but the plan has changed, let's get out of this city immediately!" The envoys of the Kingdom of Kosai came down from the high platform of the city walls quickly, and the five of them had already found a way to escape from this placeβa secret passage that not many people had noticed, and could leave the city of Doret through the western gate.
Ludwig thought back to the situation just now, and saw that the staff of clarity, the weapon of life in his hand, had been taken away by the "cat's eye", and the time for this hateful creature to appear was too timely. Originally, everything was under his own control, no matter how proficient Saint Golia and her subordinates were, how different they were, it was impossible to fight against the more than 200,000 regular troops of the East Oguna Empire. Plus with the "assistance" of the guys from the mercenary union, all this should be...
The more the Lord of the Snow Leopard thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he had already guessed that the regent Xiumo would do nothing, after all, the Holy Maiden Golia's mind was more careful than Xiumo, and the two who were suspicious of each other would definitely find an opportunity to attack each other. But there was no movement on the regent's side, which really puzzled Ludwig. Unbeknownst to him, Saint Golia had already sent her student Ayrne to take the lead in controlling the regent, so as not to cause the other party to interfere with it and ruin the big thing.
Ludwig asked his men to bring him the crossbow arrow of the enemy crossbow, he looked at the crossbow arrow, and held it with one hand, "This is the only harvest this time, I can't get two life weapons, I really deserve Adam's hope for me..."
On the other hand, Avi, Twelve, and Big-Nosed Fan have also been guarding the clock tower. They didn't notice what was happening on the high platform, but the sharp-eyed Avi noticed that the mercenaries and soldiers on the other side of the city wall just now seemed to be motionless for dozens of seconds, and all of them turned into sculptures.
Probably because of his own hallucinations, how could a soldier on the battlefield be motionless?
"How's it going? Did you see that Miss Saresa you said about coming back?" Big-nosed Fan no longer looked out, he simply sat in the corner, closed his eyes, and there was nothing wrong with him anyway.
"Not yet, but it should be soon! If we wait until the sun goes down completely, and she doesn't show up, we'll retreat out of the city through the secret passages!" Avi relayed what Girl Twelve meant, and Big Nose Fan immediately clapped his hands in agreement. Now it is not far from the sky really darkening, and the city inside and outside the city is entering the night, and the white-hot war in the city does not seem to end anytime soon. The city of Doret now seems to be divided into two sides, and all the key roads are guarded by heavily armored soldiers with steel shields in their hands, and it is estimated that the only clear road is the secret passage connecting the main city and the secondary city.
Thirty minutes later, just as the soldiers inside and outside the city were about to raise their torches, Twelve finally saw his savior, Saresa, appear on the outside of the square.
Saresa's group was at least two-thirds smaller than when Feld first discovered it, but Saresa still took the lead, killing the defenders of the Theoguna Empire who stood in her way one by one. The attacking forces near the square also received the signal from the scouts and launched reinforcements in Saresa's area. Avi noticed that there were many defenders behind Saresha's direction that were approaching step by step, and it was estimated that they had come out of the inner city to pursue Saresa.
"Let's go down!" Twelve said, gesturing.
"Good!"
When Twelve returned to the dungeon with Avi and Van on it, Saresa and some of the highest-ranking officers had already retreated to the dungeon, but there was no trace of joy on everyone's faces, and everyone had a word on their faces that the little prince Manfret had not been successfully rescued.
Surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials, Saresa, the supreme commander of the East Oguna Empire's attacking army, noticed Twelve at first sight, and she immediately hid the anxiety on her face and walked over from the group of officers, "You're back!" Saresa first touched Twelve's hair with one hand, and then greeted him with a gesture.
Saresa immediately recognized Avi and Fan behind the twelve, and because Captain Cyprus was not around, the Wasteland Python also guessed the reason for the incident.
"I still have very important things to discuss, you and these two teenagers should leave Doret City first," Saresa still wore a helmet that almost covered her nose, and her forehead would never be exposed, "Now the battle situation in the city is very deadlocked, and because our plan to rescue the little prince has failed, we may choose to temporarily negotiate peace with the enemy in the city." β
The eldest sister Saresa standing in front of Avi did not shy away from it at all, she gave Avi a feeling a bit like Sister Xue Rui of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, but Saresa was taller and more mature and capable than Xue Rui, and her temperament and demeanor were not comparable to those of mercenaries.
"Butβ" Twelve was still gesticulating, but Saresa didn't reply, she just stared at Twelve with bright eyes, like an older sister telling her sister not to return at night.
At this time, the big-nosed Fan walked up, put one hand around Twelve's shoulder and said to Saresha: "Lord Commander, don't worry, Avi and I will take good care of Twelve, and we will definitely ensure her safety!"
Saresa smiled with satisfaction, and she said, "Now that you have become friends, then I will tell you her name, her name is Sango, don't call her Twelve anymore." β
Avi and Fan looked at Twelve at the same time, but they didn't expect each other's name to be a marine plant, and Coral lowered his head a little embarrassed, I don't know if it was because Saresa told the two of them her name or because her name was a little weird.
"Twelve... No, Sister Sango, let's go!" Big-Nose Fan exclaimed.
In addition to the three Avi, Giovanni, the Transitional Inquisitor, and his men left the Secret Passage and withdrew to the already controlled area of the Vice-City to the south.
Giovanni himself was nothing special, and if it weren't for Coral reminding him, he wouldn't have known that person was the man who was now in the high position of the Eastern Oguna Empire, overpowering Daron. Instead, Avi noticed some sharp glances coming from behind him, and he turned around several times before he realized that one of the knights behind Giovanni was Farrell!
Farrell's face is something Avi will never forget, just as Farrell will never forget Avi's face. This knight squire, who has played with Avi since he was a child, is now an official knight, and his bright red hair is his trademark, but he was wearing a helmet just now and was not discovered by Avi.
The hairs on Avi's body straightened, and he knew that the only purpose of Farrell following him now was to capture him, and then choose to kill himself or arrest him and send him back to Goldhoof City. Avimin knew that Farrell had lied when he was at the execution ground, and that he hadn't killed the two knight squires at all, so how could he "see it with his own eyes"?
But when Avi looked back again, he found that Farrell was gone. Avi didn't want to involve Big-Nosed Fan and Sango, but Big-Nosed Fan seemed to notice the strangeness in Avi's heart, he took the ejection iron gun in his hand, and said to Avi: "What's the matter? β
"Well, nothing, I'm just worried about Carrie. β
"I think it's strange to talk about Carrie, but it's probably Felisty," Big-Nosed Fan said, wiping his nose, "Actually, I've already had some suspicions." β
"Suspect what?" Avi changed the subject along the other hand.
"Felisty is Golia's traitor lurking in the old division of the Two-Colored Blade Mercenary Regiment, and her purpose is to wipe out those who want to avenge Miss Delia. β
