The first wave of fighting broke out quickly, but Scherut's attack was severely blocked. After firing an arrow towards the southern part of the sea cliff fortress but failed, they quickly exposed their targets, fell into the siege, and had to retreat. For a time, the front line retreated to the midpoint between the main wall of Fattan Port and the Sea Cliff Fortress. Delphin re-entered two Hong Kong Guards to join the battle before he could stand firm.

In the southern part of the wall of the sea cliff fortress, the knight commander Sok, who had just frightened one above the city wall, also found that the attack of the undead was blocked. 'It seems that the previous attack was still found.' He immediately realized this, these The port guard's intention was obviously to retake the Sea Cliff Fortress, but they apparently did not realize that there were so many enemies in the Sea Cliff Fortress. Now the other party is still stubbornly resisting and wants to arrange time for the rear friendly forces to arrange defense.

When did the fighting will and tactical literacy of Port Guard Port Fattan become so high? He couldn't help but be a little surprised. This is not to say how much he used to know about these local defense forces that were not even second-line corps, but a universal understanding, as the elite of the empire, the vanguard of the White Legion, Sok Of course, he is qualified to look down on the brothers in these places. The standard of the Hong Kong Guard today is obviously a little bit unexpected.

After putting in two teams of fresh forces, the situation on the battlefield suddenly re-inclined for a while. Scherut and his colleagues once returned to the southern part of the sea cliff fortress. They even climbed the mountain rock towards the wall. Two shocks were launched, but unfortunately they were repelled by corpses and skeletons on the wall.

This is not uncommon, because the terrain outside the sea cliff fortress is very narrow, it will only become wide and flat again near the upper half of the sandbar, but Scherut and his colleagues firmly guard the sea cliff On the trail, the superior forces of the undead cannot be deployed at all, and the Hong Kong Guard is not worth mentioning in front of the White Legion. But in the face of the same number of weak skeletons, they have an absolute advantage.

But the skeleton witches quickly mobilized the skeleton archers from behind, and once again changed the battle situation. A row of aligned skeleton archers shot down from the southern wall of the sea cliff fortress. Time has caused Scherut's team to lose a lot, and the other two teams seem to be different. The morale of the Port Guard just rose to the freezing point immediately, and it almost collapsed all the way under the main wall of Fattan Port.

Seeing this scene, Baron Ludwig couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face. Although he was not considered a military commander of Fattan Port, the Hong Kong Guard was a direct report of Fattan City Lord. The Hong Kong Guard who fled back, he couldn't help but want to yell at these guys more and more, but when he spoke, he remembered who was the commander here, and had to swallow his dirty words into his stomach.

Delphine was much calmer than him, as if he had expected it. She watched the scene below the city quietly and ordered: "Up arrow."

Her voice was not high, but the herald faithfully passed on her order. The soldiers in the front row of the city wall stepped back, and the back row immediately revealed the two rows of longbow archers and bows. The hand thing is a rare product in Vaund. They are almost all professional soldiers or mercenaries. Crossbowmen are common in the general army. Even the heavy crossbowmen are much more than the archers, and the archers have not trained for years. There is no battlefield at all, and there is a professionally trained archer unit in a port guard in the Empire. The strength can be seen, and it can't help but be lamented. In fact, Marjorie and Oni learned that there was When such a long archer splits, his face looked a little different.

In Vaund. Archers use almost all magic bows, because the training of an archer is much more than building a magic bow, and the longbowman who uses a magic bow far exceeds the crossbowman in terms of range, accuracy and projection density, and they You can also use Enchanted Arrows when using Enchanted Arrows. The power of the longbow also goes far beyond the heavy crossbow.

The archer opened his long bow under the order, and the cluster of feathers and arrows on the bow shimmered with a light golden luster. The holy water was obviously poured on it. Rows of long bows are raised in the rain curtain, and the arrows accurately point to a certain shooting angle. This is also a place where magic bows are far overweight crossbow. Waterproof, ordinary bows and crossbows will lose their power due to damp, but magic items There is no such concern.

The herald looked at Delphin aside, and the latter nodded indifferently.

"put!"

"put!"

"Let's go!" A sirens sounded. At that instant, the entire city wall was slightly bright, as if a dark golden line flickered at the same time. It was the cold light that came out of the feather arrow. There seemed to be a white line advancing in the rain curtain with a loud cry, as if a gust of wind was blowing on the face, and an arrow rain had already started on the sandbar.

In theory, arrows have limited damage to skeletons, because arrows can easily pass through the pores of their bones, and even if they hit the bone with good luck, they can only shoot off one or two ribs, and nothing will happen. Too much influence, only with good luck to shoot off the tibia and neck can produce effective killing, but in the dark night, such a chance is really too small.

But this arrow rain is not the same. When each arrow approaches the skull, a strong divine light is emitted above it. The skulls hit are like melting butter, and the arrows pass through their bodies, leaving In the next huge cavity, even the golden flames were burning at the broken bones. Even in the heavy rain and snow, the flames did not go out at all, but they became more and more burning, turning a skeleton into a skeleton. ash.

For a time on the battlefield in the dark it seemed that a sea of ​​golden flames had risen, and the sea of ​​skulls under the main wall of the Port of Fattan was burned out without warning with a blank area.

"Preparing for the second round of firing," Delphin ordered, while she shouted, "Marjorie."

"in!"

"Ready to attack, I ask you to lead the three White Lion Guards to drive the undead army back to the southern part of the sea cliff fortress and launch an attack on the fortress!"

"Yes!" Marjorie replied without hesitation.

At this time, the lined archers have completed the second round of attack. On the battlefield, it takes twelve seconds for a trained heavy crossbowman to re-shot, but a well-trained archer only needs one third of this time. , Another golden arrow rain fell on the skulls, and the skeleton army of several squads under the city wall immediately became sparse and pulled up.

But they did not crash. The most annoying thing about the army of the undead is that there is no morale, especially the lower-level undead. Although they lack wisdom, they will not feel fear, and will naturally not shrink back easily.

At this time, the city gate rose slowly, and Marjorie took the White Lion Guard to kill.

"The archer changes the enchanted rocket. Prepare for the third round of firing, covering the back of the undead army and covering Marjorie's assault." Delphin calmly gave instructions.

"Miss Delphien, why change the rocket?" Count Alcons anxious: "The sacred arrow has a good attack effect, and there are several bases for the ammunition. The rocket has no effect on the skeleton!"

Delphin glanced at him and replied badly: "I'm the commander or your commander, follow my command and light the torch."

The moment it lit up on the main wall of Fattan Harbor. Sok knew that today's sneak attack had ended. He saw a torch and a brazier lit in sequence on the wall of the city 500 meters away. Under the light of the torch, the walkway on the wall was full of soldiers. The archers of the Hong Kong Guard stood neatly in two rows.

When the archer fired the first two rounds of arrow rain, he frowned slightly and glanced subconsciously, but the third round of arrow rain flashed in the rain curtain with firelight. Sok finally let his heart down, and it seemed that the clergymen in the city's temple of flames had not been assembled in the first place. The plan was implemented well. The previous sacred arrows should be stored in the bullet. According to the information, the Enchanted Arrows of the Hong Kong Guard should not have too many sacred arrows. As for the sacred arrows, there are fewer. There is no record of being attacked by undead.

However, the attack was inevitably repelled, followed by the arrow rain. He saw an unfamiliar army killed from the port city of Fatham. This force was not weaker than the Hong Kong Guards, and even more than that. The opponent's equipment seemed to be between light and heavy infantry, but the action was Extremely flexible. The assault was so explosive that several skeleton teams couldn't resist it before such an offensive and were soon forced back to the sea cliff trail.

This is obviously not an ordinary army, "White Lion Corps", a term immediately came to mind. The Duke of Ambonal made a thorough arrangement before attacking the Port of Fattan. Of course, intelligence work is essential, so Sok is very clear. What are the Eruins stationed in Fattan Harbor?

Of course, even the Duke of Ambonal would not know what is the difference between the White Lion Legion and the White Lion Guard in that small kingdom. He just confuses the two.

The sneak attack was discovered and the offensive was blocked again. The battle that had taken the lead has not unexpectedly turned into a confrontation, but this has not exceeded the expectations of Sok. In fact, it was already so easy to win the sea fortress. In addition, it may even exceed the expectations of the commander-in-chief of the battle, Duke Ambonal, that the Hong Kong Guards and the Eruins cannot be trapped by the low main walls of the Port of Fattan. The thing was to break through the city gates in an aggressive manner, and then throw the undead into the street fight.

Of course, it is better not to have street fighting.

He hoped that once the city wall fell, the enemy who lost hope would disarm and surrender, but from the intensity of the resistance at this moment, it seemed that this wish should be defeated.

Sok certainly attributed it to the reason the eldest son was in the city

However, he was not very worried, because the undead was the cannon fodder, and even if it was completely consumed here, no one would feel a little bit of pain. In the street battle, using the undead to consume the blood of the Eruin and the Port Guard was obviously a Great deal. As for the White Legion, Sok knew that there was only one of their enemies. He suddenly turned his head, and the valley behind was suddenly dark, but he knew that there were tens of thousands of undead troops, and in a further direction, it was Hilly area around the Golden Needle Valley.

I don't know if Erich has exercised in place.

He frowned silently.

...

Port Ovehin, fortress of Convey

With a squeak, the door of the room was pushed open by the attendant: "Master Duke, Sir Erich, his Gryphon Brigade has arrived in the scheduled area, and Sir Bernd and his Silverwing Knight sent a magic message three minutes ago. , Said to be ready "

The Duke of Ambonar looked out of the stone window: "What about the Bugat fleet?"

"Nothing has happened."

"How's the battle at Port Fattan?"

"Front-line observations have shown that the sneak attack was very successful. The Undead Advance captured the sea fortress in one fell swoop, but the enemy's resistance was fierce and the front line was deadlocked under Fatham City."

The Duke of Ambernard frowned slightly: "There is no fortress of the sea cliffs, those Eruins will keep it short, and I will let the Madalas work harder. Go on, tell Erich and Bernd to do it at any time. Ready to attack. "

Count Brill looked at the re-closed door and turned back: "Old man?"

"Don't worry, old friend, it's not a big problem," said Duke Ambonar, glancing at the smoky bone stick suspended in midair: "I've been asked to investigate, and for a few hours Marori and his men were at There was no connection in the direction of the Golden Needle Forest. Also missing was a counterfeit bone rod, presumably a mouse infiltrated. "

"It doesn't matter?" The former frowned slightly, and asked a little uneasily.

"It's okay. The situation on the front line is so good. The Bugatians can't think of our plans or blame them when they dream. I am afraid that no one in this world will think that Her Majesty has reached an alliance with Madara. The Duke of Ambonar was in a good mood: "Madala's offensive was more successful than expected, and there was no Eruin in the port of the Sea Cliff Fortress to save their lives. The poor Count, was Bujia People do n’t know they are gunmen, but the Empire will not have mercy on him. "

He went to the count's desk, picked up the vermiculite and iron scrapes on the desk and lit the pipe, then took the pipe and took a sip, squinting deeply and sighing deeply.

"The mice that sneaked into Oweshin must be scouts of the Yankees, rest assured that someone will take care of them."

"It's not like you, old man, boasting about Haikou before the war came to fruition." Count Brill was as if affected by this emotion and laughed: "What about our cautious Lord Duke White?"

"This war has come to fruition, Brill," said the Duke of Ambonal, shaking his head. "It is also impossible for the Bugatians to declare war on two empires at the same time."

"That being said," Count Briel reminded, "don't forget that the Bugatians still have a fleet here."

"Yes," said the Duke of Ambonar, without hesitation, "so we are waiting for their fleet."
