Chapter 368 Starfall
City of Fallen Stars.

This is a small town with a long history. Legend has it that a meteor fell here, hence the name Xingyun.

As a meteor that has lost its light and heat, City of Fallen Star plays a dispensable role in Saint Laurent's defense system.Because there are three tier-3 satellite cities in front of him, and two tier-2 satellite cities, Shenghui and Twilight, behind him, he has become the stardust with the weakest presence in the entire Yves Saint Laurent defense system.

How does starlight compete with the sun and moon?

As an inconspicuous example, the defenders of Starfall City also inherited the character of Passerby A. Although they bear the name of the backbone force, they themselves have assumed the role of the logistics force.

This is also of course.

The troops they come into contact with the most every day are not the army of the dynasty and the empire, but the logistics corps that deliver supplies. When they are too busy, they even put down their swords to help these people load and unload the goods.

Over time.

The defenders had already forgotten their identities. For the convenience of loading and unloading, some soldiers even took off their combat uniforms and standard long guns in their hands, and even didn't know where to throw their weapons.

In short, they have no sense of crisis.

Most of the soldiers here don't feel that the war has anything to do with them. There are three level 2 satellite cities in front and two level 2 satellite cities in the back. Whether the enemy attacks from inside or outside, there are other troops to support them.

Therefore, whether it is victory or defeat, it has nothing to do with them.

So when Veigar's army came to the gate of the city in the dark, the soldiers in charge of guard thought that some troops short of food had come to ask for supplies, so they almost opened the gate on their own initiative.

Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight.

Therefore, by the moonlight, they could clearly see that the people who came were not friendly troops, but enemies in imperial uniforms.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The siren was sounded, and when the siren echoed dozens of times over the city, the soldiers of the defenders realized that it was not that the guards were just joking when they were idle, but that there were real enemies attacking them. The city where you are located.

"Where's the spear? Where's my spear?"

"Damn, who wore my combat uniform by mistake?"

"Where is the officer? What, the officer is drunk again?"

"Who will tell me where the enemy is."

"..."

Due to the usual loose discipline and the mode of stocking, the camp was in a mess amidst the sound of alerts. It took a full 10 minutes before the group of soldiers assembled and rushed towards the north gate.

Soldiers are like this, and officers are not much better.

As the supreme commander of the entire army, Regiment Commander Lek Redes just fell asleep because of drunkenness. Hearing the echoing sound of the alarm bell, what he thought was not to quickly assemble the troops for defense, but to prepare a lesson for the guards who disturbed his sleep. The soldier paused.

But when the roar of magic sounded, Lek woke up.

He hurried out of the house, but bumped into the scout.

If this matter was in normal times, he would definitely make this scout feel overwhelmed, but now he has no time to pursue these matters, he said incoherently: "Sir, second lieutenant, sue, tell me, what happened? "

"Enemy attack!"

The scout said out of breath, "Yes... huh, it's an enemy attack. An imperial army appeared out of nowhere and is attacking us, and the enemy's magic attack is very violent. Only one Our city gate was lost in the next round, and the enemy army may have entered the city now, please give instructions as soon as possible."

"What, what?"

Lek's voice raised an octave: "You mean the imperial army is attacking the city? And they have already entered the city?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

"How is this possible?"

Lek muttered to himself with a pale face: "Why did the people of the empire take such a big risk to attack Starfall City? Could it be that Shenghui and Twilight have already fallen? But there is no news."

After talking to himself, Lek suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Could it be..."

As if realizing something, Lek quickly issued an order: "Let the defenders block the enemy's footsteps, and absolutely do not let the people of the empire approach the logistics warehouse, otherwise we will all die."

Pointing to the guard next to him.

Lek continued: "And you, immediately send a signal for help to Shenghui, Twilight, and other level 2 satellite cities, telling them to rush to support as quickly as possible, and tell them that I will fight until dawn."

"Yes, Captain."

After the basic work was completed, the head of the team, Lek, rushed towards the warehouse in person.

On the way, he kept praying for the safety of the logistics supplies. If there was a mistake in those warehouses, he could guarantee that he would be cut down by the commander-in-chief. There are war materials that can last for 20 troops for a year and a half.

boom!
Only halfway through, the fire burst into the sky.

It was fine if Lek didn't look at it, but he didn't scare him to death on the spot. The place where the explosion sounded and the smoke billowed was the logistics warehouse.

"That's right, that's right."

Lek quickened his pace. He finally confirmed his guess. The enemy army came for their logistical supplies. Once all the logistical supplies were destroyed and new supplies could not be mobilized in a short time, then the huge number of 20 would not be enough. If it becomes an advantage again, it will become a ticking time bomb instead.

What is the concept of food shortage for 20 troops?
This will not only reduce the combat effectiveness of the entire army, but also cause the entire army to fall into chaos, and even disregard discipline, disobey orders, and deserters... The bad situation will make the entire army self-defeating.

Once the enemy launches a general attack at that time...

Even if only 5 people can easily defeat their 20 army, so in order to prevent the enemy from launching a general attack, they must abandon the Saint Laurent defense system and withdraw their troops urgently.

Lek has already realized that this huge crime will fall on his head.

but why?
Why can the enemy be busy with Shenghui, Twilight City, and the sight of the four camps for two days, break through to the middle area of ​​the extremely safe Saint Laurent defense system, and launch an attack on them.

unless……

Lek's eyes flickered with madness: "Unless the enemy marches on a small scale and the number of soldiers who invade the city does not exceed 3000, does this mean that I can fight with all my strength and delay the enemy's army until dawn?"

That's right, there are many logistics warehouses.

If he wants to destroy all the logistics warehouses, he can't do it without 5 or 6 hours. As long as he leads his troops to hold back the enemy, he will be considered a victory if he keeps 1/3 of the supplies before dawn.

The appeal letter has already been sent.

It only takes half a day for the reinforcements to come to support after receiving the letter.

"Convey my order."

Lek gave a remedial order without hesitation: "Abandon all city defense work, gather all soldiers including the city defense department, logistics department, urban management department, and investigation department... to the warehouse, even if the entire army is wiped out, we will And hold on until dawn."

"Yes, Captain!"

This was Lek's decision. Without knowing the number of enemy troops, even if he gave up all the city defenses, he had to defend the warehouse. He had put all his eggs in one basket.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.

When Lek led all his soldiers to stand in battle in the undestroyed warehouse area, Veigar ordered more than 1000 high-level armed forces to charge the enemy. This was a unilateral massacre at all.

How many mages are there in a regiment?
It's just two of them.

Even if it is an elite group of mages, there is at most one mage squad.

But Veigar used mages like ordinary soldiers, so the Kingdom Army couldn't stop him for even a minute.

There was no suspense in this war from the very beginning.

Starfall City is also like his name. Under the magic of the Vega troops, it once again bloomed with bright light and heat, but when the heat is lost, it also heralds his fall.

Yes.

Although the meteor is dazzling, it is only for a moment.

Veigar is not willing to be a shooting star that shines on the Jialan Continent like the United Kingdom. What he wants to do is——

"All troops retreat!"

Stretching out his hand to hold the first dawn of the Jialan Continent in his palm, Veigar gave the order to retreat.
