The setting sun is like blood, and the city of Bolanco is full of scars. Between the walls of the inner and outer cities, the raging flames have been extinguished urgently, and black smoke is floating into the sky. Everywhere in the city and outside is suffering from devastation. , everything on the city wall was dyed dark brown, which was caused by the dried blood stains left by the orcs when they attacked the city. After nine days, every place and every corner on the city wall was dyed red by the flowing blood. .
Many walls above the city wall are damaged, and there are traces of flames everywhere. Several siege engines outside the city are burning with raging fires, and the feet of the city wall are piled with corpses, and the air is filled with There was a foul smell, and a large number of crows and vultures appeared in the sky circling.
As for the soldiers on the city wall, every one of them was covered in blood and their faces were covered with stains. They didn't even have the strength to wipe them off, and their mental state had reached the limit of collapse. Almost all of them were injured and their eyes were dull. He fell in the corner with his long sword and shield, watching the sunset gradually set, and the last bright red light shone on his body, just like the reflection of light before death.
Lang Tu walked over the city wall. After nine days of high-intensity fighting, watching the corpses around him being dragged down one by one, everyone was on the verge of mental collapse and numbness. They were only able to hold on with a breath of energy. , if the king's reinforcements cannot arrive tomorrow, I am afraid that they will really collapse without fighting. Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be encouraged has been encouraged. At this point, there is no point in saying more. significance.
Wolf Tu, as the defender of the city, suffered heavy casualties, but the number of deaths on the rebel side was even more terrifying. The pressure they endured was even greater than that of Wolf Tu. After Wolf Tu patrolled the city wall, he walked down the stairs and shuttled back to the inner city. I saw between the strong castles, the people of Blanco were hiding inside and shivering, and many people were crying. There were children huddled in the arms of their mothers. Under the weak light, there were mournful voices on both sides. .
The bodies dragged down from the top of the city and burned every day in the past few days are their sons, husbands, and fathers. The war has been a tragedy from the beginning to the end. Broken down, there has never been a so-called righteous side. Compassion cannot control soldiers. , Lang Tu could only ruthlessly put these conscripted soldiers who were not soldiers originally, but were farmers, craftsmen, craftsmen, and slaves, put on chain armor, picked up long swords and shields, and pushed them up the city wall.
At this point, the rebels outside the city had been attacking hard for nine days. Every day became more fierce and more rapid, and the losses were so great. Once the city was breached, the anger of these soldiers was bound to be vented, and they would burn, kill, and loot. It is inevitable, and once a sudden change occurs, it will easily turn into a massacre of the city, and even the commanders of the army cannot stop it. Wolf Tu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows this very well, so no matter what, the opponent must not be allowed to break into the city.
However, looking at the situation and the reactions of the rebels, even if they were surrounded and cut off from the outside world, Wolf Tu also knew that King Will had reversed the previous crisis situation and was heading here. As long as he held on , these rebels outside the city are left with only a dead end.
Will walked down and immediately saw several generals surrounding him: "Sir, will reinforcements really arrive tomorrow?"
Wolf Tu turned to look at them. Everyone's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, filled with fear, uncertainty and expectation. He nodded seriously: "Will, the Lion King, will never abandon his subjects. Reinforcements will come tomorrow." Must come."
Lang Tu took a deep breath and then continued: "Tomorrow morning, the rebels will launch the strongest general attack. They don't have much time. They must capture Bolanco before they have the ability to fight against the king. By then, It will be the most brutal war.
In a tent set up outside the city, several armored orc generals were arguing. A young werewolf stood in front of a middle-aged pig man and kept talking: "I just said, don't worry about Bolanco. If At first we abandoned Bolanco and attacked Primonius directly, but now we are already enjoying the cheers of victory in the royal city!"
The pigman Count Umos no longer had the intention to flatter the former king Raymond Nalandu, who was brainless and never planned anything, and said directly: "Then we will leave a solid nail in the rear. , once something happens to us, this nail will block our back road, jam our transportation line, and kill us."
"Compared to Primonius, Bolanco is more important. As long as we occupy this place, it will open up the roads to all places. Materials from all over can be transported here in a steady stream. Our connections with other tribes He will also get through it, and we can at least rely on him to share half of the world with King Will."
Raymond Guyton said excitedly: "But I don't want half of the world. Engido belongs to me. I am the king of Engido and your king. What I want is Will Ilanberry who usurped the throne." If he dies, I will return all the shame he has inflicted on me to him!"
Earl Umos patted Raymond Gaiton on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, it will definitely happen, but don't worry, victory will definitely belong to us."
Raymond Guyton left cursing, and Earl Ulmos immediately showed a look of contempt in his eyes: "This idiot!"
At this moment, an urgent battle report suddenly came from outside, and he rushed directly in front of Umos: "Count, the Kingdom of Baila was defeated on the western border. One hundred thousand troops were defeated, together with the princes of the Kingdom of Baila and tens of thousands of people. The remnants of the army were besieged in Langdon Castle. At present, they have surrendered and were captured by the Lion King Will. The King of the Bala Kingdom and the Lion King Will signed a treaty and ceded the Red Stone Province in the eastern part of the Bala Kingdom. "
Earl Umos' expression changed drastically. The alliance he had reached with the Kingdom of Baila was one of the important pillars of his comeback. At the same time as he rebelled, the Kingdom of Baila also began to invade the western part of the Kingdom of Engido, fighting on both sides. No matter how good the Lion King Will is at fighting, he still can't withstand it.
"When did this happen?"
"It's the news from three days ago."
Umos's face suddenly turned pale. Three days ago, he said that Lion King Will was already leading an army and rushing here quickly. Some battle reports came from the west. Lion King Will led five saints. The 50,000 knights led by the knights faced the 100,000 troops of the Kingdom of Baila, and actually defeated the opponent step by step. This already made him feel a little bad, but the opponent actually lost so miserably in such a short period of time. It was something Earl Umos never thought of.
That's why Umos is so eager to capture Bolanco. As long as he captures Bolanco, the situation will reverse in his direction. But now, Bolanco is his only support. Only by defeating Blanco can he have the last chance to compete with the Lion King Will.
Umos stood up and looked at the other nobles and tribal leaders in the tent. They were a coalition, so the army was formed from all parties. There were also contradictions and conflicts between them, and they were sometimes held back. This made Umos feel that he had had enough in the past few days.
"You heard it. Three days ago, Lion King Will defeated the Bala Kingdom and forced the king of the Bala Kingdom to sign such a humiliating treaty. He will never let us go. We have no way to retreat. He will not fight with us. No matter what treaty we sign, they will only hang us one by one on top of the city."
Umos pointed to the magnificent city wall of Bolanco: "At dawn tomorrow, either take it or die!"
Everyone’s eyes changed, and they roared crazily along with Umos: “Get Blanco!” 8)
