After holding on for two days and three nights, on the evening of the 25th, White Wolf Castle finally showed signs of being unable to hold on.
The loss of the southern section of the city wall made Verina feel very powerless.
In the process of holding on to it before, not to mention the southern part of the city wall, other places, even the city gate where Verina is now, were sometimes attacked by the enemy. Every time, Verina will always try her best to mobilize her troops and mobilize every ounce of power she holds in her hands to fill the gap and regain the position, no matter how high the price is.
But this time, she really had no strength left.
Draw your sword and look around, every demon around is so vicious; every warrior who fights side by side, the tired look on the face is so obvious. Even among the twenty or so quasi-templar knights, eleven of them have been killed on the top of the city so far, and the battle loss rate exceeds half.
Verina knew that the outer wall of the White Wolf Castle would definitely not be able to hold on. She no longer has the strength in her hands to send out to retake the lost southern part of the city wall, but if the gap is not repaired, the demons outside the city will pour into the city like an endless stream. No matter how well guarded the place is, it is of no use.
But it's not time to throw in the towel.
"Warriors! Repel this attack from the demons! Just this time, follow me again!" Verina roared!
She is actually very tired now. It can be said that after fighting for such a long time in the whole city, she is the one who killed the most demons, and also the one who put in the most effort.
But she knew that she was now the backbone of the entire army, and she must not show any signs of fatigue. If she looks tired, how can she boost the morale of other fighters
She charged at the demons again, and the dozen or so quasi-templar knights who were still alive also raised their long swords one after another. A faint holy light surged from their bodies, but they all followed the woman resolutely. The pace of a paladin. After that, there were Verina's personal guards, and hundreds of soldiers who were still standing on the top of the city.
The sudden eruption of human troops drove the demons out of the city once again. But at the same time, another bad news came.
"Report to the general! The northern section has also fallen! General Palan has withdrawn from the city with the remnants, and is retreating into the city under the support of General Chapple."
Verina pursed her lips tightly and said, "Okay, I see."
"General, we... what should we do now?" The orderly didn't leave, but asked hesitantly.
"Let's withdraw too," Verina said.
"General..." The orderly hated his cowardice in his heart. He raised his head and wanted to say something more, but saw his general's face still had such a resolute expression, even when he was talking about retreating. .
Obviously, the retreat that Verina said was not what the orderly understood, it was giving up. On the contrary, abandoning the city that is doomed to be unable to continue to defend is to retreat back to gain more strength and more advantages to carry out the next step of more resolute resistance!
Looking at the expression of the female general, the orderly felt that the fear and weakness in his heart had been dispelled at this moment!
Verina didn't notice the change in the orderly's mentality, she said: "You find a way to tell Palan and Chapple, let them gather as many troops as possible, bring as many young and middle-aged men as possible, shrink into the city, and shrink to the main city. Near the castle. I will take the troops to join them in the main castle, where we will continue to fight these demons to the death!"
The orderly nodded heavily, and said, "Okay! I promise to complete the task!"
"Well, you go, pay attention to safety."
After sending off the messengers, Verina began to gather her forces, gathering all her strength to gather again, taking advantage of the demons who had just been repulsed before the next round of attack, to bring The troops withdrew from the city first.
The road to the city was not so smooth. The city that had been defended for two days and three nights before, after the fall of the north and south walls, many demons had poured into the city. On the way back, Verina encountered many demons blocking her.
But luckily, the number of demons rushing into the city was not particularly large, and she didn't run into a large number of roadblockers. In some small-scale encounters, under the leadership of her, the opponent was quickly eliminated.
Finally, before nightfall, the troops she led, which already numbered over a thousand, finally returned to the main castle.
This main castle with 20 to 30 floors and a height of more than 100 meters can be called the tallest building in Schindler, and it is also one of the strongest buildings. It is also Verina's biggest reliance to guard the city, and it is the last battlefield she chose.
In front of the five-meter-wide gate of the main castle, lay the corpses of more than a dozen demons. Obviously, the demons' footsteps have been contaminated here, but the number is not large, and they were killed in front of the gate under the attack of the crossbowmen ambushing in several shooting crenels above the main castle.
Ignoring the corpses, Verina stepped forward. There was a hole in the third-story window, and Paran's ugly face peeked through it.
"My lord general!" Palan said in a pleasant tone, "You are finally back!"
Verina didn't have time to greet Palando, she opened her mouth and said: "Open the gate, and the soldiers will gradually enter the main castle. I will lead some people to the rear and stand in front of the gate. Any demon pass me!"
"Just show me on the top of the main castle. As long as you see that I can't hold on any longer, don't hesitate to close the door! At that time, no matter what kind of situation you encounter, don't open the door. Do you hear me?"
Palan took a deep breath, he knew that Verina let him be on top, and watched her die in battle. But he doesn't know how to love his children, and he doesn't know how to cry. At the moment of life and death, even Verina is ready to die in battle. How can he live up to the efforts of the female general
"Ok, I understand."
"Yeah." Verina nodded in relief, she felt that she did not train the wrong person.
She turned around, ready to start organizing the troops to enter the main castle in batches, and organize the troops at the rear. At this time, she suddenly heard Paran calling out to her from the window.
Verina wondered 'Huh? ' With a cry, I didn't look back.
Palan said: "Master General, after the war is over, can I propose to you?"
Verina turned her head and smiled.
Palan will never forget that smile.
