A dark winter night, cold and silent.
Silvermoon City is like a gigantic beast, crawling quietly under the dark night sky.
The East Territory army outside the city was constantly mobilizing, and almost all the soldiers were gathered outside the south city gate.
Naturally, such a movement cannot be concealed from the half-elves in the city. Of course, Marquis Vincent has no intention of concealing it.
This battle has now reached a complete showdown between the two sides.
Colin dug a hole and said provocatively—come in!
Marquis Vincent's response was - come in and come in!
Because Ke Lin was worried about his hometown in the north, he didn't want to continue to spend.
But Marquis Vincent couldn't afford it at all.
With such a tacit understanding, the two sides finally prepared for a head-to-head duel.
Of course, on the whole, the situation is still more favorable to the half-elf side.
But the Eastern Realm had to fight, and they had no better choice—it was better to have a city gate to drill than to climb the city wall.
Of course, Marquis Vincent knew that there must be heavy troops deployed at the south gate, and that the black cavalry wandering somewhere might come out from behind at any time.
But he was still willing to give it a go.
A large-scale cavalry battle like the Black Cavalry would definitely not be at night, as darkness would seriously weaken their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, as long as they break through the blockade of the heavy half-elf soldiers in the south city gate before dawn, the Pegasus Legion can occupy Silvermoon City and turn defeat into victory.
The moonlight was cold, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive and dignified.
Near midnight, the south gate of Silvermoon City finally burst into flames, and then there was a burst of shouting and killing.
Not long after that, I saw the stones blocking the city gate being removed little by little, revealing the dark city gate, gloomy and deep, and I don't know whether it leads to hell or heaven.
Marquis Vincent's eyes instantly became extremely fierce, and he ordered loudly: "Send my military order, attack the city!"
woo—
The bugle sounded immediately, and the sleeping earth seemed to wake up instantly.
Countless soldiers from the eastern border shouted slogans and rushed towards the open south city gate.
The decisive battle officially came to a close.
As expected, the soldiers from the eastern region who had just rushed into the city gate immediately ran into the half-elf army waiting in full force.
Countless arrows rained down like a torrential rain, turning the narrow passage into a flesh and blood mill, constantly strangling the troops in the east.
However, as soon as the comrades in front fell down, the soldiers from the east surged up again, like tireless beasts that defied life and death, rushing frantically towards the half-elf defenders' positions.
At the same time, the soldiers of the East Territory outside the city were still setting up ladders on the south wall, trying to send more troops into the city.
But at the top of the city, they encountered a tenacious counterattack from the half-elf defenders.
Ke Lin's strategy is to leave only one city gate in the east as a passage to enter the city, so that he can control the troops sent into the city by the opponent, so that the half-elf defenders will not be overwhelmed.
As for the southern city wall, it cannot be lost yet.
At least not so early fall.
Queen Aisha also understood that tonight's battle was the final battle, so she came to the south gate in person to boost the morale of the half-elf defenders.
Even Vera followed, hiding behind and casting spells continuously, strangling the eastern army rushing in from the south gate.
At this time, the corpses inside the south city gate had piled up into a small hill, and even the soldiers from the east who poured in from behind had to climb over the corpses of their companions before they could rush to the enemy's position.
The wanton flow of blood merged into streams, where the fragility and cheapness of life are fully revealed.
Seeing that his subordinates were still unable to break through the blockade inside the South City Gate, Marquis Vincent became more and more anxious.
He knew that in this battle, he had no way out.
So, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, the Marquis of the Eastern Territory put on his armor and went into battle, leading his personal guards and rushing into the south gate.
The personal end of Marquis Vincent greatly boosted the morale of the Pegasus Legion. After all, he was the eldest son of the St. Pross family and the future Lord of the East.
Such an identity and reputation are enough to make countless soldiers from the Eastern Territory die generously for him.
The pressure on the half-elf defenders suddenly increased dramatically.
Finally, after more than three hours of bloody fighting, the eastern border army finally completely occupied the southern city gate, but for this, they also paid unimaginably huge casualties.
The city gate fell, and soon, the southern city wall gradually fell under the control of the eastern border army.
However, the battle is still not over.
Next, there will be more dangerous and cruel street fighting.
The half-elven defenders have turned the familiar streets of Silvermoon City into a place full of deadly dangers.
In the wooden houses, the spears continued to shoot out, stabbing the passing soldiers of the eastern border to the ground.
Arrows shot out from all kinds of hidden corners, making it hard for people in the East to defend against it.
The soldiers of the Eastern Realm, who were still immersed in the joy of occupying the South City Gate, suddenly suffered a slap in the face.
The tenacity of the half-elf defenders calmed them down, and they gradually realized that if they wanted to truly occupy the city, they would have to pay a more tragic price.
Marquis Vincent had already stood on the tower of the South City. The battle just now left him covered in blood, and there were several gaps in his armor. Obviously, he was injured.
But he couldn't care less about these now.
Calling the herald, Marquis Vincent ordered: "Let the soldiers not get too entangled with the defenders, quickly pass through the southern city area, and capture the half-elven palace as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
"In addition, tell the camp outside the city to mobilize another 10,000 people into the city!"
"yes!"
But at this time, Viscount Alston hurriedly dissuaded him: "Master Marquis, the army outside the city must not move lightly! Don't forget, the Black Cavalry has not yet appeared."
Marquis Vincent's eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he said viciously:
"Of course I know that the Black Cavalry Army hasn't moved yet! But, as long as we occupy the palace first and capture Queen Aisha, Viscount Angelet and others, the Black Cavalry Army will naturally surrender without a fight!"
Viscount Alston's mouth moved, and he wanted to persuade him again, but Marquis Vincent's cold eyes suddenly turned, and he ordered: "Viscount Alston, I limit you to lead the army to capture the palace before dawn, if you can't finish it mission, don’t come back to see me!”
"Yes..." Viscount Alston's complexion was gloomy, and he had no choice but to take the order and leave.
Marquis Vincent stood at the head of Silvermoon City, looking at the dark night sky outside the city, and muttered to himself, "Viscount Angelet, how long are your black cavalry going to hide?"
At the same time, Ke Lin was standing on the wall of the palace, looking at the southern area of the city where the flames were blazing and screaming, but his heart was extremely indifferent.
This time, in order to quickly deal with the Pegasus Legion, his plan did cause the Half-Elves to suffer great casualties.
However, he has no regrets.
This is a battlefield of life and death, and too much kindness cannot be tolerated.
Moreover, the half-elf family really needs such a bloody battle to be reborn from the ashes.
At most, in the future, Corindo will make up for this race.
Of course, the premise is that this race will continue to follow in his footsteps and fight for him.
Looking back, Ke Lin no longer paid attention to the ongoing battle in Silvermoon City.
Because next is the moment that really decides the outcome.
call-
A soldier from the Eastern Realm who rushed near the palace looked up in astonishment, and saw a black shadow spreading its huge bat wings, leaping into the sky from the palace wall, and flying towards the outside of Silver Moon City.
Just when he was in a daze, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from a dark corner, piercing his throat.
"Ho-ho-"
When he fell to the ground, the soldier from the east was still thinking about—
Was that figure just now an angel or a devil
