Blood Dragon

No.20 loss in three quarters

It is a magician who does this.William Daly realized that it was the magician who used flame magic to ignite the powder kegs that the knights carried at all times, causing such a large amount of damage.This was not an accident, because the purple mist wrapped the magician's body, allowing him to stand at the core of the explosion without any damage.

"It's still alive, it's a long life." The magician sneered.William Daly raised his ax and charged at the magician, who remained unmoved.

William Daly's tomahawk swung at the wizard.However, just when the sharp blade was only a little away from the mage's chest, the mage made a gesture and stopped William Daly's attack,

William Daly growled angrily.He pushed forward with all his strength, but he couldn't overwhelm the opponent's magical power.His eyes caught several barely visible shadows.A few crossbow arrows shot through his body, piercing through the armor and reaching the flesh and blood.He roared wildly, his body burst out with astonishing power, and he even broke free from the shackles of magic.The magician ushered in his doom after only enjoying the thrill of winning for a moment.The ax jerked forward, splitting the mage in two with one blow.

The mage's body, which had been split in half, fell to the left and right.

And the rest of the knights also rushed over.Someone brought a horse for William Daly.So many Pazes died here, but they have no time to mourn now.

There are still challenges ahead of them.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the sound of explosions behind him caused uneasiness in the Paro army.Many of them looked back and hesitated.At the top of the city, bows, arrows, muskets, and cannons did not stop for a second.Solid shells rolled through the crowd, breaking bones and tendons wherever they went, and no one was spared.

"William Daly succeeded!" Ashuruffat shouted, boosting his morale and fighting hard.William Daly, come back alive!I will forget about the things you lied to me!

He wielded his long sword and held a siege ladder alone. All the Paro people who climbed up from here were killed by his sword, and no one was spared.But in other places, the Paro people braved the rain of arrows and bullets, and continued to climb to the top of the city, fighting fiercely with the defenders.It's just that because of the impact of the explosion, the number of people climbing up has been greatly reduced.

Every now and then a siege ladder would be set ablaze, or a spell would be thrown into the crowd, causing huge casualties.

It's not just the siege troops ahead that are affected.Rudolph hadn't realized at first what the enemy's small raiding force would do, but now he knew it.He also knew how unwise it was for him to let the light cavalry entangle the opponent.Light cavalry can only entangle the knight, but cannot really stop the knight.Although the light cavalry will buy enough time for the infantry to line up to fight.But the constant explosions showed that the infantry had not been able to stop the enemy either.

Damn it, it's Expendables again!

……

It's the last tunnel.Gasping for breath, William Daly dropped the last four powder kegs into the tunnel.Paro people from all directions surrounded them.There are too many to kill.He raised the torch and lit the fuse.

Have those tunnels collapsed?What about his subordinates?Maybe they're all dead.Blood was streaming from his ears, and he could no longer hear anything.

The Paro people didn't rush up directly, the leading officer opened and closed his mouth as if to say something.

William Daly smiled hey. "Stop talking nonsense, let's fight!" He shouted loudly, raising his axe.

I can't get out, haha.That Ashrufat guy is planning to retreat... It seems that there is no need to retreat at all... Facing the enemy rushing towards him, William Daly laughed loudly.They could not defeat the knights of Saint-Jean, and they would pay with their lives.

No.11 explosion sounded.The successive explosions sounded from the rear made the city leaders cheer continuously, and made the Paro soldiers below the city hesitate.No one knows what happened, but the sound of explosions in the rear cannot be concealed.The soldiers finally became confused and began to retreat in surprise.And the officers didn't know what happened.They waited for the guidance of the flags and horns of the main line, but there was no response from the flags and horns there.

The Paro army retreated in a mess, leaving corpses and wounded everywhere.

The soldiers at the top of the city, especially Aishuruffat, are eagerly looking forward to the reappearance of the raiding unit.But in fact there was no movement there.Until dark, there was no movement there.

Leo came to Ashuruffat's side, who was still at the top of the city and refused to leave, stubbornly looking at the position of the tunnel entrance.But the miracle didn't happen.Everyone knew that the raid team had accomplished its mission, but it was not without luck.

"Ash Rufat." Leo patted Ash Rufat on the back. "Go down and get something to eat. William Daly..."

"He will come back, right?" Ashuruffat said blankly.

"He has fulfilled his last duty as a knight." Leo replied in a low voice. "He told me yesterday. He said that he wants to continue to guard this place. You are much more important than him. If there is no you, he and I will not be able to guard it."

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Ashuruffat suddenly grabbed Leo angrily.

"Because I agree with him," Leo replied.

Ashuruffat looked back at the Paro camp below the city and heard music coming from there.Someone was playing on a trumpet. It was a very sad tune, an elegy for the dead.

"Don't tell Lord Thomas about William Daly!" Leo said heavily.

At this time, in the camp of the Paro people, today's failure has weighed heavily on everyone's heads.In addition to the losses on the frontal battlefield, a total of [-] soldiers and some engineers were lost in the tunnel.Including a large part of the knights.Rudolph threw the elite knights into the tunnel raid, originally planning that they could catch the enemy by surprise, but unexpectedly sent them all into living coffins.

The raiding troops of those expeditionary forces were all killed in battle, just like the previous night raid.Damn Expendables!Damn Thomas!

Casualties have reached the limit that the entire army can tolerate.Today alone, there are 8000 casualties.Especially the loss of 5000 people today, these are the elite reserve troops that Rudolph painstakingly preserved!

"This is the loss of our army. The company was killed, wounded and sick..." the lieutenant general said in an extremely soft voice. "We've lost 3 people...a full half..."

"And what about the enemy?" Rudolph asked in a voice that was eerily calm.

"It won't be lower than us. Probably lost about half of it."

Rudolph suddenly let out a low, terrifying laugh.Thomas, you are really amazing!You really have calculated the combat power of the two armies just right.It is simply a no-brainer!I now understand why my father was defeated in a single battle in front of you, and died as a teacher.

"What shall we do next?" the lieutenant asked in a low voice.

"Continue to attack." Rudolph's face twisted. "There is no second choice. If we give up, the border castle defenses will not survive the summer. The enemy's army will easily capture all the castles and join Thomas! Just think about it, if this Thomas's men have the same If we have an equal number of troops, is there any hope for us?!!! Paro's life and death depends on this battle!"

"But the soldiers... are no longer willing to..."

"Organize a supervising team! Starting tomorrow, all the knights will also go to the battlefield. We can't save any more power! Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we must take Derek City!"

"But, even if we capture the castle, what will we do in the future?"

"If we fail, there is no need to think about future issues at all! Send a letter to His Majesty the king about the current situation, and you must ask for reinforcements. It is already difficult to suppress Casillas with our existing troops." He threw a letter To one side - that's another bad news.Saint-Jean's main force has captured a frontier castle.Relying on the strong attack of the Pegasus Knights, they managed to defeat the defenders' defenses.

"General," a guard interrupted the conversation. "Master Koenig, please see me."

Soon, Master Koenig appeared in the tent.

"General, I heard that the tunnel attack plan is not going well." Master Koenig asked with a smile.The scar on his face looked particularly hideous. "So I thought, maybe it's time for us to play our trump card."

"Ace?" Rudolph looked at him in surprise.They still have an ace?What tricks do magicians have?

"Do you still remember the battle when we broke King Cassilos?" Master Koenig said. "I happen to have one of those scrolls."

In an instant, everyone was excited, and the others looked at each other, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

Rudolph's face was also full of surprises, red and white fluctuating.Damn it, these guys from the Church of God!With such a good thing, why not just take it out and use it? !We must wait until the current situation before taking it out!

"Of course, not as powerful as that one, but it is enough for us to destroy the wall. Even better news, we can use it tomorrow."

"Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Finally, one person couldn't bear it and jumped up.How many soldiers have died in battle these days!If there is such a thing, it should be taken out on the first day of arriving at the city! "You churchmen..."

Rudolph forced his subordinates to shut up with his majestic gaze.It would be foolish to offend Master Koenig at this time.Although he didn't take out the thing until now, but after all, didn't he?Right now, this is almost the only hope.He made a gesture to signal this subordinate who didn't know how to control his mouth to get out.

"Then Master Koenig, what is your plan?" Rudolph asked after the subordinate left.

"Notify the whole army of this matter today. After breakfast tomorrow, line up. Launch a few waves of symbolic attacks, and then you choose the target yourself. I will release the power of the scroll. The rest... doesn't seem to be a particularly big problem gone."

"Very good!" Rudolph replied. "I will follow your plan at once."

"Break the city tomorrow!" He thought of the [-] soldiers who died in the tunnel today. "Tell the soldiers what will happen tomorrow so that they can get ready. Before dinner tomorrow, we want the flag to be planted in Derek City!"
