"I'm sorry for hiding it from you, Lisanna." Alexander turned around and grabbed a Stoker Empire soldier, and then threw him directly off the city wall. He continued apologetically: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I always feel that your recent state is not normal. To be safe, I can only ask the team mage to make a disguise and follow me. I hope you can understand me. "
"..." Lisanna didn't answer immediately. She looked at Alexander and her face turned pale.
"..." Alexander didn't expect Lisanna's reaction to be so violent. He scratched his head awkwardly, and then looked around anxiously.
Another desperate Stoker soldier rushed over, but his target was Lisanna who was stunned on the spot. This guy didn't understand how a woman could appear on the battlefield, and he didn't even understand why this woman was in a daze on this battlefield where swords, swords, shadows, and flesh were flying everywhere. But this does not prevent the soldiers from killing the enemy. No matter what happened to her, as long as she wears the Hawke Empire's army armor, then just kill her.
Alexander looked at Lisanna and found that she was still there in a daze. So the prince of the empire sighed helplessly, then waved the bright moon and chopped the ignorant guy in half on the spot.
"Lisanna!" Alexander's tone was a little more serious: "Commando Commander Lisanna!"
"..." Lisanna was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly woke up after a few seconds. She quickly stood up and saluted, and then said loudly: "Lisanna is here!"
"Given your performance at this time." Alexander's tone began to turn cold. He looked at Lisanna and said sternly: "I think you have lost the rationality and thinking judgment required to command a commando team. Ability, do you accept it?”
"Lisanna..." Lisanna's eyes were red. She had put a lot of effort into studying this raid before. It was not that she had never thought about how to deal with various emergencies. On the contrary, the night before the attack, Lisanna stayed up almost all night, where she had been studying various kinds of emergencies. How to respond to such emergencies.
In fact, the Stoke Empire had already planned their attack, which was also within the scope of Lisanna's consideration. She did a lot of simulations and calculations in her mind at the time, and after repeated calculations, Lisanna finally came to the conclusion: If the local government had planned this raid, then the wisest and most reasonable approach would be , or ordered all commandos to take the opportunity to retreat.
Lisanna had actually thought of how to deal with this situation before she encountered it, but in the end she did not choose to retreat immediately. Lisanna didn't know what the reason was, but in short, she just didn't want to disappoint Alexander again, even if the cost of doing so would be the lives of a large number of commandos. But... no matter what, Lisanna just didn't want to see Alexander's stern and disappointed expression again.
Therefore, Lisanna hesitated until the end and did not say the words "retreat" after all. Even if she was trying to hold on, even if she was trying to show off her strength, no matter what, Lisanna just didn't want to disappoint Alexander again. Because... if she disappoints him again, she will lose everything...
Therefore, Lisanna did not choose to retreat until the end. She did not want to retreat to the military camp in embarrassment, because in this way... Lisanna felt that she had truly proved that she was useless to Alexander, and what does that mean? Lisanna could hardly imagine it.
But what about now? She screwed it all up after all. Lisanna understood that they could capture the city gate, but this did not mean that the people she led could hold these gates.
Lisanna's calculation was not wrong. With the help of the elites she led, it was not particularly difficult to seize the city gate. After all, these warriors are all brave men in the Golden Eagle Knights. Although his strength is not as strong as Alexander's, one can defeat a hundred, but it is still quite possible for him to stand up to three.
It is quite threatening to attack a city with a commando composed of such elite strong men. Therefore, even if the Stoke Empire was well prepared for their siege, Lisanna did not doubt that her wave of troops would not be able to capture this city gate if they were determined to attack by force.
But the root of the problem is not here, but whether the wave of people led by Lisanna can persist until the Hawke Empire's army invades Fortress Costa. If the commander of Costa Fortress had expected that the Hawke Empire's army would launch a fierce attack on their city gate, then they would definitely have countless back-ups after the reinforcements.
The war experience since the beginning of spring has told the southerners how terrible it would be if those highland barbarians were allowed to drive straight in. Therefore, if the commander of Fortress Costa learns that these northerners are trying to seize the city gate with elite commandos, then he will definitely command the army to regain control of the city gate again even if he pays a high price.
But it is the Stoke Empire's counterattack that has become a serious problem that Lisanna is worried about. She was confident that she could capture the gates of Fortress Costa with the commando team in her hands, but she knew that she would not be able to hold on to the crazy counterattack of the defenders of Fortress Costa with the people in her hands.
Therefore, the decision she made at this time has destined many people to make useless sacrifices.
It was precisely because Alexander understood this that he believed that Lisanna had lost her basic ability to judge and grasp the battle situation. Therefore, after careful consideration, he finally decided to take back control of the commandos.
"Lisanna..." Lisanna's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and finally nodded: "Lisanna accepts your judgment. From now on, all command of the commando team will be handed over to you... And I..."
"And you..." Alexander looked at Lisanna, and finally reached out helplessly to touch the girl's head: "You'd better retreat first... You haven't been normal recently. Putting you here... I'm very worried."
"..." Lisanna still didn't answer. She just stood there blankly, looking as if her soul had been hollowed out...
Alexander looked at Lisanna, and finally he felt that this girl was in such a bad state that she could not continue to kill enemies, but whether she could safely and smoothly walk down the city wall and return to the base camp alone was a problem.
The second prince of the empire sighed helplessly. He reached out and rubbed the girl's cherry-pink hair: "I don't know what you are thinking, but... follow me!"
"???" Lisanna looked up in confusion, as if she didn't understand what the prince meant.
"Follow me closely." Alexander's tone was still so stern and serious: "I will... protect you from any harm..."
"Lisanna understands..." Lisanna was completely unaware of the prince's concern for her safety. She just responded indifferently, and then stood beside Alexander like a wooden figure.
"You... stupid girl..." Alexander looked at Lisanna's dull expression and couldn't help but think to himself. He stretched out his left hand to hold Lisanna in his arms, and then started to swing the two-handed sword Haoyue with his right hand alone.
Although one hand was tied and there was a girl in his arms, Alexander didn't mind it at all. He burst out his fighting spirit and rushed towards the oncoming enemies again.
"Fellow warriors of the empire!" Alexander shouted loudly while slashing: "Hold on and capture this city gate! I will be with you!"
Although Alexander did not directly state his name, as members of the Golden Eagle Knights, these soldiers who followed Alexander in the north and south were naturally very familiar with the voice of their old leader.
After realizing that Alexander was actually participating in this assault, each of these soldiers became as excited as if they had been given blood. Although the current leader of the Golden Eagle Knights has become Juster, this does not reduce the respect that the members of the Knights have for their old leader as if they were gods.
Alexander is recognized as the youngest and best knight leader since the establishment of the Golden Eagle Knights. If the previous Golden Eagle Knights were just an elite force of the Hawke Empire, then when Alexander took charge of this knights. It completely turned into a myth under Alexander's hands. And every member of these knights is the myth itself!
Therefore, for these members of the Knights, the former old leader Alexander can give them almost blind confidence and enthusiasm. Almost everyone in the Golden Eagle Knights believed that as long as Alexander was around, their battle would be victorious. Because, in the years when Alexander was in charge of the Golden Eagle Knights, the Golden Eagle Knights really never failed!
"Kill!" All the warriors of the Knights roared excitedly. They waved their weapons and rushed toward enemies several times their size without fear.
Ten minutes passed, and the commandos had opened up enough space at the gate of Fortress Costa to gain a foothold.
But even so, normal people would not feel optimistic because of the current situation: most of the city wall is still occupied by the Stokers, and the number of their soldiers is several times that of these commandos. Commandos can indeed gain control of the city gates by capturing the towers of the city walls in a short period of time. But it will also take a lot of time to wait for the large forces of the Hawk Empire to invade the Costa Fortress. With their current manpower, they will never be able to hold on until that time.
What's even more dangerous is that once the large army enters the city halfway, control of the city gate will be taken away again. Then these troops entering the city will almost become turtles in the urn, and the losses will not be as small as a few elite soldiers!
Alexander observed the situation again, finally nodded, and made up his mind. He let go of Lisanna, who had been in a sluggish state, took out a space gem from his space pocket, and then murmured to himself: "To be honest, I think her support is sometimes more than yours." It’s important, Regnar…”
"Come on, Miss Annelotte, please help me." Alexander used his own power to activate the gem, and then a teleportation circle with a diameter of more than five meters stretched out with the gem as the center.
