Conquest

Chapter 276 [At Sea]

Inside the majestic Arc de Triomphe early on, St. Krumma Avenue. Originally, this was the widest avenue in Osgilia. This avenue was built in the early days of the city, and it was repeatedly expanded in the following hundreds of years. It has become the iconic widest and most magnificent street in Osglia. .

Today, however, this street is enough for six carriages to travel side by side, but it has almost become a huge barracks. The private houses on both sides of the street have been requisitioned. The horse picking posts in front of the rows and rows of shops on both sides of the street were removed to fill the city defense. The civilian houses on both sides of the street turned into one-by-one military camps, and horse-drawn carriages transported ordnance and food from the city to the gates.

Just two hundred meters away from the city gate, a three-story building was originally a well-known business travel hotel on this street. At this moment it has also been requisitioned by the army, and the commanding battalion of the garrison is set up here.

A group of guards like wolf-like tigers guard the place closely. The lobby on the first floor has long been turned into a military parliament hall. It is the topographic map of the municipality directly under the Central Government of Osgilia, and some officers such as staff members hurried back and forth in the hall, holding some military books or military information.

The direction of the city defense not far from the window occasionally heard the roar of the trebuchet, and in this temporary command post, in the room on the second floor, after a rush of footsteps, the doctor wearing an white umbrella was nervous. Walked out of the room, an assistant beside him sprayed a wooden plate in his hand, the plate was covered with blood, and there were still three arrows! The blood on that arrow was amazing, and even a trace of flesh remained on the hook angle.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound of military boots in the corridor, and then several guards came along and whispered, "Master of the military is here!"

Adrik had already walked quickly, his armor? Blood and stains remained, and he saw the plate in the hands of the physician and the assistant next to him. When Adrik saw the arrow on the plate, the scar on his face was slightly twisted.

The doctor recognized Adrik and hurriedly bowed his head to salute, but Adrik waved his hand and asked in a low voice anxiously, "How?"

"It doesn't matter, but it bleeds a little bit, so it's better to let him rest more. One by one, one by one."

"What else?" Adrian-K looked somber.

"And ... his right arm was afraid that he would not be able to use up his strength. It would take at least three months to recover before," the doctor replied cautiously.

Adrik's eyes were gloomy, and he groaned a little, and then said, "I have invited a pastor from the church ..."

"Excuse me," the medic looked up, facing Adrik's eyes, and said positively: "Although I am just a physician, I also know a little bit about healing magic. Healing magic can't really repair it in essence. Physical damage is just to forcefully destroy the vitality. This method of forcible destruction speeds up the body's self-healing. This method can be used occasionally, and it ’s used a lot. In fact, the damage to itself is great. There are 16 injuries in adults and adults over the past few days! In my opinion, four of these injuries were fatal. Because he has used the healing technique before and has used it many times. Too often, he used seven treatments within fifteen days! Now his body is actually very fragile. In this case, if the treatment is forced again, I am worried that his body will collapse! "

Speaking of it, the vulgar finger pointed at the deep blood on the plate and gritted his teeth: "Look, he bleeds so much blood today! I have spent a lot of hands and feet to get him these arrows. In fact, he suffered today The injury was not too fatal, but his wound was bleeding endlessly! I almost exhausted my way to help him stop the blood one by one-this is a very abnormal phenomenon! It means that his physical function has been seriously damaged , I think you should understand the truth "A beef tendon, if it is forced too tightly and too long, it will break sooner or later!"

After that, the medic saluted and then resigned.

Adrik stood still, seemingly out of breath, and then he sighed, walked to the door of the room, took a deep breath, made a relaxed smile on his face, and then strode in.

"Haha, how? I heard you were bitten again by the rebel archers today ..." Adrik strode into the room, laughing deliberately, then glancing at the room and sitting on a chair The above people continued to laugh: "Yi? I think you're still alive and mad, mother, I've been worried for a while on the road", the person sitting in the chair is the commander of the city guard General Span.

Span's armor had been removed at this moment, and his upper body was naked, but a thick bandage was tied around his chest and shoulders. The original white bandage was seeping deep red under his shoulders at this moment. His naked upper body has many deep and shallow scars, but most of the scars have healed seven or eighty-eight. He wants to use the force of healing.

Span sat there, his face bearded, his eye sockets already deeply recessed, his cheeks losing weight. When Adrik walked into the puppet, Span was staring at the table beside him, a long sword lying sideways on it, and some blood on the blade had not been wiped clean.

After hearing Adrik's movement, Span turned back and looked up at Adrik. He raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "Master, you are here."

"Um." Adrik deliberately stopped in front of Span and looked up and down: "It looks like you're in good spirits."

Span nodded and smiled. "It's not dead now." Adrik sighed. "Tough work for you."

Span was just a plug-in.

These days, the pressure on the rebels to attack the city is increasing. In a short period of more than ten days, the attacks in turn were almost non-destructive, and the losses on both sides of the city and outside the city were not small.

Span commanded the battle on the front line of the city defense and witnessed the front line killings. Even though he is the general's respect and his own strength is quite good, but after these fierce battles these days, he suffered a lot of injuries.

Originally, Adrik had once advised him to take a rest. After all, after Adrik returned to the city, he was born as a empire general and a high-ranking post of the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs (originally a deputy minister, but after the warlords completely rebelled, he was already Appointed as Minister of Military Affairs.), Adrik has been appointed by the Emperor Cantos as the supreme commander of the Osgilian garrison, while also granting him the power to control the army of the King of the Field King.

Adrik wanted to fight on the front line of the city defense, but Span insisted that he still command the city guards on the front line of the city defense.

Moreover, Span's reasons made it impossible for Adrik to refuse: Although Adrik was a famous empire, he was very famous in the army. But after all, Adrik's direct unit was the original Rhoderian Cavalry Regiment. In the military, there has always been an unavoidable disadvantage, which is to pay attention to qualifications and factions. This is a problem that cannot be avoided in almost any country at any time. Although Adrik is famous, the Guardian of the Imperial City is responsible for the defense of the city.

Most of the soldiers in the city guards are Span ’s old division. Although Adrik is famous, after all, the soldiers in the city guards and the newest person in his heart are always in the tradition of the Spoon one-on-one army. The prestige of the old boss will always be the greatest. As for other famous generals, it is one thing for you to be famous and to respect you, but it is another thing to be willing to listen to your orders to kill you.

In this case, Span experienced first-line combat, but the morale incentive effect was far stronger than Adrik.

So these days, Span still insists on personally commanding the city guards on the front line. The battle is fierce. He has been injured many times but still refuses to rest. With his old boss sitting and feeding, the city guards also fought desperately, repulsing the rebel offensive again and again.

Only today, Span hit a few more arrows, but he fainted on the spot, which was forcibly lifted from the city by the guards.

At this moment, Span listened to Adrik's sentence "You worked hard", but just smiled, but asked, "Where is Nigur?"

"He's still in the city J1, this boy has done a good job these days, and today he also personally cut off the heads of two rebels. I have promoted him to the rank of officer in accordance with the military law."

Adrik's answer gave Span a lot of thoughts.

Then Span forcibly stood up. Although the wound hurt his face pale and the muscles on his face were slightly twisted, his waist plate was still very straight: "Come, give me armor!"

Adrik frowned: "Well, you can take a rest today. With me in the city, what else are you worried about? Besides, those guys outside today have not lost a lot. I do n’t think there will be any big loss until tomorrow. Offensive. "

Span shook his head and said, "I fainted on the wall today, and all the soldiers around me saw it. These are my old men. I fainted on the wall, I'm afraid the army is unstable! I still have to look up Look, those kids will be at ease when they see me. "

After all, Adrik is also a famous general. Although he understands that Span's words are very reasonable, at this moment, it seems that Span can't stand even at the moment. After all, he can't bear it. He looked at Span's eyes. Adrik sighed, "Okay! "

He didn't summon the guard, but he helped Spoon put on the armor himself, then pulled his hand pattern out of the room, and the two of them took the man back to the wall together.

Sure enough, with the return of Span, the city guards on the wall immediately cheered. Span stood on the tower, raised his sword, laughed loudly, and then shouted loudly, "Lao Tzu is back! Those rebels outside, the archers are not only accurate, even the strength is like a maiden! Lao Tzu Two bites, it ’s not lively !!!! The troops are optimistic! As long as I still have a breath, I will be nailed here! You all give my strength to Lao Tzu! As long as we are still here, those **** do n’t want to enter the city step!"

Cheers shouted on the walls.

Adrik stood beside Span, seeing that although Span was fighting hard, his face was pale, and sweat was flowing down his forehead. He couldn't bear it. After Span finished speaking, he quietly supported Span's underside, supported his body, and pulled him to sit down against the tower.

At this moment it was getting late, standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, the camps of the rebels were endless and the lights were bright! In addition, the rebels dug deep trenches outside the camp, the camps were dense and tight, and a large amount of timber was cut. The camp was thick, and hundreds of arrow towers were erected! From a distance, it seems as if a dense fortress stretches over the wilderness!

Span looked in his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

Adrik looked in his eyes, smiling, and said, "Span, don't worry too much. Today we are playing so fiercely, with such great movements, they must have seen Socia and Butler outside. So Both West Asia and Butler are my old ministry. I know these two guys. Sosia is like a fire. Butler is calm and bold. Both of them are military generals. Seeing the hard work we have today, tomorrow they will definitely think of a way Attacking the rebels will involve the attention of the rebels to reduce our pressure. So tomorrow, the rebels will not have much energy to attack the city, and we can take a chance to catch a breath. And Luer, the fat man is the most Cunning, maybe he can take the opportunity to bite the rebels tomorrow. "

Span smiled reluctantly, and said, "Sir, if you say so, you must be sure, just one by one, one by one."

He reached for a finger.

Span was referring to the other side of the river below the city. On the other side of the river, the rebels erected a row of tall towers. The heights of the towers were more than ten meters, and they were almost even with the city walls.

At this height, the archers of the rebels on the tower can directly shoot with the crossbow of the city defense, which greatly weakened the advantage of city defense.

Moreover, the garrison in the city had destroyed the rebel's arrow tower several times in the night before. The rebels suffered several losses and became more and more strict. Even at night, tens of thousands of troops were left to guard those on the river bank. Arrow towers. At this moment, if you want to send troops to destroy these arrow towers, it is no longer possible.

In these days, Adrik tried to mobilize a crossbow car on the city defense to bombard the rebel arrow tower on the other side. Although the power of the crossbow car is huge, the arrow towers of the rebels are very large. Often, more than ten crossbow cars are bombarded for a long time before they can barely destroy an arrow tower. However, the cost of the crossbow is too amazing, so the effect is not good. . In addition, the rebel's arrow tower was built near the river. Even if it was fired with a rocket, the rebels could also fetch water on the spot.

Adrik also looked at the back tower on the other side, and said lightly, "Span, I know what you worry about, but you must understand that at this moment the enemy is strong and we are weak. These arrow towers, we are powerless. Besides ... defending the city, The fight between the two sides is to consume! Under the war, life and death are not for you! Don't you understand the truth? This arrow tower, don't you think about how to destroy it. You have taken many adventures before, although you are lucky to succeed, but After only a few delays, they will be able to build another batch! It just cost our officers and soldiers for nothing! "

Spencer silent, Shen just for a while, mumbled: "Don't just let these guys do this to offset our city defense advantage ... these days, our archers have lost their dominant advantage, and the damage is not small!"

"There is no undead in battle," Adrik said with a firm face, and now he said, "There is only a hard fight with gritted teeth. Don't expect anything tricky."

The two were discussing and suddenly heard a surprise voice next to them: "Uncle!"

Span turned to look at his nephew Nigur.

Niguel's burly body wore a set of "black flat armor" equipped by the lower-ranking officers of the City Guard. Although it was already the largest armor, it was still a little tight on Niguel's huge body. a feeling of.

At this moment, Niguer's face no longer saw the frivolous and innocent appearance as usual, a little more calm and restrained temperament, especially on that face, there seemed to be some sharp edges.

His black flat armor is exactly the equipment of the lower rank officers of the Byzantine army. At this moment, although he also wears a sword on his waist, he still carries a conventional double-edged short-handed axe in his hand and wears it on his chest. A badge symbolizing the rank of officer in the team looks like a young British military empire officer, and never looks like that pair of sister-in-law in the past.

As soon as Span looked at Niguer, his eyes softened a bit. Ni Guzhen strode over and fell to the ground with one knee, and fell on his knees: "Uncle, you are all right, I can rest assured!"

When Span was about to speak, he suddenly took a deep breath, lowered his face and drank, "Dash! There are no uncles in the army! Call me Lord!"

"Yes! Lord General!" Nigur looked up.

Span was relieved, and he whispered, "Get up. I heard that f is pretty good today.

Niguer said arrogantly: "Yes, Lord! I killed one of the rebels with my own hands today and shot two more!"

"Okay." Span's eyes seemed a little complicated, but it was more of a deep relief. After thinking about it, he said, "Have a good job, don't shame your last name!"

Adrik, who was on the side, suddenly said, "General Span, I think Niguer is a good boy, and I want to accept him as my deputy lieutenant, how?"

Adrik is a famous empire, an outstanding representative among the Hawk generals, and the identity of the Minister of Military Affairs. I don't know how many young officers of the Empire regard him as an idol. He said at this moment to bring Nigur to his side, that was to cultivate. If you can be around an imperial empire like him, you will always be able to get a lot of advices. I don't know how many young officers in the empire dream of this opportunity!

There was a surprise expression on Niguer's face immediately.

General Span was also a joy first, but then he suddenly remembered something. "Suddenly his face sank. He turned to look at Adrik, took a deep breath, and whispered," I thank you for your love. However, this proposal will not be discussed until after the war. "

Niguer hesitated and didn't understand why his uncle refused, but the words of his uncle naturally made sense, and he hurriedly bowed his head to salute: "Thank you for your good intentions, Niguer is grateful!"

Adrik gave the pair of nephews a complex look, and finally sighed: "Since General Span is not allowed, then ... wait until after the war."

Immediately after Span waved to let Fagur back down, he whispered, "Master Adrik ... thank you."

"You're welcome." Adrik smiled wryly.

In fact, Adrik's intentions are very simple. He knows that Spane cherishes his nephew very much. These days the rebels attack the city. The situation is getting worse and worse. Niguer is the only seedling in General Span's family. Although he has made some progress recently, if he stays on the front line of the city defense as a small officer, there will be no damage to the sword on the battlefield. He is a good intention, as he is the imperial military minister and the head coach, most of the time the Seal of the Seal of God does not have to visit the front line to fight, only need to command in the city. He wanted to take Nigull with him, and also wanted to protect the boy as much as possible, and to keep this sprout for General Span's family.

But did not want Span to refuse his good intentions in one sip.

Adrik looked at Span's face with a little respect in his heart.

After the two inspected the city wall, Adrik saw that Span's face became increasingly ugly, and finally pulled him back to the command post to rest. Span also knew that he couldn't support it anymore. If he fainted in the city again, he was afraid that his army would be disturbed and he would have to follow Adrik back down the city.

The two men came out of the city and suddenly saw a fast horse rushing down the street. An officer rushed forward and was stopped by the guard. The officer immediately took out his badge: "Emergency military affairs, general Where is my lord! "

"Let him come over!"

Adrik recognized his officer and spoke immediately.

The officer rushed to the front ~ www.readwn.com ~ With anxiety in his face, he quickly said in anxious tone: "Master!

port! There is a port terminal! maritime! maritime! !! "

Adrik suddenly changed his face and grabbed the officer: "What are you talking about?"

maritime? !! "

"At sea! A fleet appears!"

Span also looked tense immediately: "Is the rebel fleet? They are going to forcibly climb 6 from the sea ?!"

"No, it's not a rebel." The officer sweated heavily. "This fleet came from the west, and our lookout was there. They, they seemed, as if ...

"Does it seem to be off?"

"It seems as if confronting the rebels' sea fleet!"

Adrik and Span glanced at each other and immediately yelled, "Prepare the horse! Go to the dock! Hurry!"
