Granero still remembered three days ago, when the retreating Zenit army appeared on the foothills in the distance of St. Petersburg, how he and some soldiers on the city wall who were patrolling from the indescribable shock, disappointment and fear Trembling among.
Then the whole of St. Petersburg was in an unprecedented panic.
There are only less than 100,000 left in the 400,000 army, and most of them are injured. I and my colleagues have witnessed the defeated army entering the city, repairing, counting supplies, wounded and disabled soldiers mourning and losing their fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers Or the pain of the younger brother's family, seeing the second prince who was seriously injured and comatose and the old Aryang who was also injured were carried into the Zenit Palace to report the battle situation, and seeing the entire imperial capital panic like a spinning top in motion...
There is an atmosphere of sadness and panic between the heaven and the earth.
A large number of the most elite troops with distinctive armor and high-level warriors shining with fighting spirit have taken over every inch of the city walls around St. Petersburg. Thousands of magic towers, large and small, in the city began to operate at full capacity. The magic circle pattern began to shine with a little bit of safe magic luster, and the hideous appearance of magic weapons, which had never been seen before, was pushed to the top of the city. Even the most powerful guardian of the imperial capital [Guardian of Mother Earth] magic circle was also activated, forming A yellow haze formed, guarding the century-old city like a giant egg.
At the same time, the imperial capital was completely sealed off.
War is like a storm that has shown signs for a long time, coming when people least expect it to come.
Less than an hour after St. Petersburg completed its final defensive arrangement, the dark Barcelona army appeared in the distant horizon, like a doomsday flood that drowned the world, roaring and rushing madly, slapping the walls of the imperial capital and defense.
It was only later that people learned that the precious half a day of St. Petersburg's defense was won by sacrificing the precious lives of more than 200,000 imperial soldiers.
This first confrontation lasted for a whole day and night.
St. Petersburg's powerful magic defense and sharp defensive tools played an indescribable role in this process. The Barcelona people left more than 60,000 corpses and paid at least hundreds of moon-level powerhouses. The heavy price of serious injuries to the Japanese-level venerable and powerhouse, and after dispatching a demigod-level powerhouse, they could not break through the [Guardian of Mother Earth] magic shield, and finally had to temporarily stop the siege. , began to re-examine this ancient city.
Even the Zenit people themselves knew for the first time that the defense force of the imperial capital of St. Petersburg was so powerful.
Of course, only a few such as Granero know that this is because the magic defense of the imperial capital is so powerful because it has been transformed by high-level magicians in Chambord City. In the process, the ferocious magic defense weapon that killed one after another Barcelona moon-level powerhouse also came from the Chambord City Arsenal.
If it was half a year ago, how could the unmodified [Guardian of Mother Earth] be able to withstand the attack of a demigod-level powerhouse
Next, the Zenit people got about half a day of rest time.
After a little respite, St. Petersburg faced the fierce and terrifying attack from the Barcelona people again. The lives of countless soldiers drifted away like dandelions in the wind, and the city wall of the imperial capital was like a huge and terrifying meat grinder. Every moment, tens of thousands of lives are being crushed into flesh.
During this process, a mysterious demigod-level powerhouse from Chambord City shot dozens of times, coupled with Emperor Yassin's strong shots, he barely survived.
St. Petersburg is like a small sampan floating on the stormy sea. It is crumbling, and it is in danger of being swallowed and submerged by bad waves at any time.
Last night, Granero, as the second prince's confidant, finally saw the second prince who had recovered from serious injuries and some other imperial generals from the southern border battlefield, and finally knew that after that great victory, the empire's southern border , What exactly happened, the battle situation supported by 400,000 troops and so many masters will deteriorate to this situation.
"After the Drumpo victory hit the famous Barcelona general Pedro that day, we received the support of the 300,000 troops of the empire, and the supplies were also replenished. We have some confidence in the next battle. Moreover, the military headquarters received The order does not require defeating the Barcelona people, but only requires us to delay the time as much as possible. If we can delay the Barcelona people in southern Xinjiang for a period of time, it is undoubtedly the best result, because His Majesty Yassin seems to be planning some kind of counterattack method , it will take a certain amount of time to complete..."
"In fact, in the next ten days or so, we did do this, and it was very successful. The follow-up legion of Barcelona and the commander named Alves were once disturbed by the ingenious plan of Army Division Aryang, and could not With effective advancement, it is impossible to win a battle with a scale of more than 10,000 people. After all, we have a slight advantage in the number of troops, and there are also extremely strong men like Mr. Hasselbaink, as well as the super powerful city of Chambord. His Excellency Frank Lampard, the Golden Saint of Leo, sits in command, and the Xuan Ge battleship from Chambord City cooperates in the air... "
"The more favorable news for us is that after a period of time, we also found out that there is a demigod-level mysterious strongman who has been secretly attacking and killing the Barcelona strongman dozens of times, which greatly disrupted the enemy's arrangement... Everything is extremely beneficial to the empire, and even the Aryan military division has already begun planning to wipe out the Barcelona army that landed... "
"However, everything changed a day or two ago. Such a good situation was reversed once, only because there were three more people on the Barcelona side, three demigod-level powerhouses..."
"The people of Barcelona were clearly prepared. They were tired of fighting with equal forces and decided to crush everything with absolute strength. This kind of conspiracy is precisely the most deadly for the imperial army... just a little contact, 400,000 troops Just lose a thousand miles..."
"Military division Aryang tried everything possible, but he only allowed the army to last for four more hours. Mr. Hasselbaink, the demigod who arrived in time and the two Xuange warships joined forces , was barely able to stop the opponent's demigod-level powerhouse from attacking the ordinary army, and His Excellency Lampard was seriously injured... "
"You should be able to guess what happened next. If it weren't for the protection of the masters of Chambord City, the Second Highness and most of the people sitting here today would have died on the road... Those soldiers of Chambord City, They are real warriors. If the 400,000 troops of the empire were like them, they would have wiped out the people of Barcelona long ago. Unfortunately, more than half of the 500 elite Chambord soldiers were killed or injured..."
"It's really strange. In such a battle, why didn't His Majesty Yassin and His Majesty Alexander the Martial Sage make a move?"
Standing on the city wall, [Red Beard] Granero kept ringing in his ears what he talked about when he visited His Royal Highness the Second Prince last night, and chatted with many colleagues who came back alive from the southern border battlefield, although it was only a few words It was as if everything that happened on the tragic southern border battlefield had reappeared in front of his eyes.
"The Barcelona Empire is really too powerful...it's simply irresistible!"
Granero couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Where is the way out for the empire? Can this war really be won? When the empire was in danger a few times ago, it was King Chambord who turned the tide. This time, King Chambord, where are you? does not appear?"
For some reason, he naturally thought of Fei.
Like a traveler in the dark thinking of the sun.
