Chapter 456

For Lucian, it was also an unforgettable night.

When she saw soldiers falling in front of her one by one, she couldn't even hold the staff firmly in her hand. It was the first time for her to face such a battlefield. Under the dark night and the fire, there were endless screams and screams. Those who didn't even have time to put on their armor were mercilessly killed and their bodies thrown aside.

"boom!!"

Another corpse fell heavily, seeing the other's widened eyes and hideous expression, Lucian screamed in fright.

"Hey, there's another woman here! Kill her!!"

At this moment, the fortress soldiers who heard Lucian's shout rushed over and raised their long swords at Lucian. Looking at the ferocious soldiers in front of them, Lucian even screamed, dumbfounded. Standing there dumbfounded, watching the other party's long sword strike...!

"boom!"

However, at this moment, the wall next to Lucian suddenly burst, and then a tall steel body came out of it, completely ignoring the opponent's attack, and directly punched the soldier on the head. Then Lucian watched helplessly as the soldier's head was directly broken from his body by the huge fist, as if a ripe and rotten apple was blown by a strong wind and flew backwards like it was blown away from the branches and leaves. The headless corpse sprayed blood, and then fell directly to the ground.

"What are you doing here?"

Duanmuhuai turned his head and stared at Lu Xi'an viciously. Under Duanmuhuai's gaze, the latter collapsed to the ground with his legs limp. Seeing this familiar movement, Duanmuhuai suddenly remembered.

"Oh, you're that slave?"

"Yes, yes... my lord..."

"Okay, stand up."

Duanmu Huai looked around, and then looked at Lucian.

"The battle is almost over, and there are only some resisters to deal with. Don't stay here, lest you be killed... Forget it, come with me."

"yes……………"

Although Lu Xi'an's legs were trembling at the moment, as if she had just been born and hadn't had time to stand still, she still gritted her teeth and stood up, following behind Duanmu Huai.

The entire interior of the fortress is now in a mess, with blood and corpses everywhere. Of course, they were basically the corpses of soldiers from Bonn Fortress. After all, those who raided them were elites from all over the world, and their strength alone was quite different.

"...Why, do you have to kill people..."

Following behind Duanmu Huai, looking at the corpses in the fortress in front of him, Lucian couldn't help asking. When Duanmu Huai heard her question, he just glanced at him.

"Because this is war, war will naturally kill people."

"Then...why the war?"

"As far as the Tribunal is concerned, Herman and the AL Cult joined forces to attack us. They simply did not want to die. It is only natural to kill them. Of course, it is even easier for the rebels. They just want to survive."

"...survive?"

"That's right."

Duanmuhuai walked out of the fortress and looked at the dark night sky in front of him.

"This country is almost doomed. The top one percent controls ninety percent of the wealth, and ordinary people can't even eat enough... Hehe, have you ever tasted the bread that ordinary people eat? Stones make no difference."

"........."

Lucian nodded slightly. As a slave, of course she had eaten that kind of bread. In fact, as Duanmuhuai said, that kind of bread was simply a stone. She couldn't even bite it. It can make a "dong dong" sound, so that people don't know whether it is bread or stone for a while.

"Civilians even have problems surviving, while those nobles, rich merchants and high-ranking officials are enjoying their lives. At this time, the struggle is almost a matter of course. After all, there are only two ways for Herman's citizens to follow. , or be exploited to death by nobles and businessmen, or stand up and fight."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, for them, the worst outcome is nothing more than death. But now for them, there is no way out. They will die sooner or later. It's better to fight, maybe there is still hope."

“……………………”

Hearing this, Lucian lowered her head, tightly clenched the staff in her hand, and said nothing.

Duanmu Huai didn't care, and now he also believed in Kirti's judgment. This girl named Lucian was probably a noble lady who ran out from somewhere, otherwise she wouldn't even have basic common sense like this. Know.

But Duanmu Huai didn't care.

At this moment, he also came to the square in the center of the fortress, and greeted Ann, Guleya and others who were guarding there.

"Yo, how is it?"

"Everything is going well, Mr. Knight, but it's still a bit too exciting for everyone."

While talking, An winked playfully at Duanmuhuai, followed her gaze, and as expected, Duanmuhuai saw a few girls not far away bending down to vomit—well, they They are all graduates of Manaria Academy. Obviously, compared to An and Guleya who followed Duanmuhuai back and forth on several planets and participated in many wars, these freshly baked Manaria Fresh graduates are obviously not used to the real battlefield.

"Okay, cheer up!"

In front of them, Hannah was also cheering them up with a serious face.

"You are the elites of Manaria! This is a battlefield! Not a training ground! If you are negligent for a moment here, you will die! You will become a corpse! So now, I want you to be vigilant! Do you understand?"

"yes…………!!"

Although the students' answers were a little weak, they stood up. Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai nodded and didn't say much. After all, this is their first time on the battlefield, so it's good that they didn't pee their pants.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a gesture.

"Bell girl."

"Meow here, Ninren! (\u003e^ω^\u003c)"

As soon as Duan Muhuai finished speaking, Ling Nu suddenly appeared from behind him out of thin air, startling Lu Xi'an next to him.

"You take the Valkyrie back and tell Kerim that the first phase of the battle has been successful, and ask her to send someone over to take over the fort right away! It must be completed before dawn!"

"receive!"

After capturing the fortress, what Duanmu Huai had to do was to immediately replace the soldiers of the original fortress with soldiers from the Fourth Army, pretending that the fortress had not been attacked, so as to confuse the first and second armies. Fortunately, he has Ye Crow Black Star and Valkyrie gunboat in his hands, so it is not a problem to sneak some soldiers over while the night is dark and the wind is high.

At this time, Kirti and Uluze also rushed back.

"My lord, someone in our team is missing... ah, it's here."

Kirti who hurried back was also relieved when she saw Lucian standing next to Duanmuhuai, and the latter hurriedly bowed her head to apologize when she saw Kirti.

"Yes, I'm sorry, before I......"

"It's nothing, this kind of thing happens often, all in all, let's treat the wounded first."

"yes."

Lu Xi'an nodded in agreement, then looked at Duanmuhuai again.

"Thank you for saving me...Thank you very much...!"

After saying this, Lucian turned and left, and returned to Kirti's guards to start treating the wounded.

Duanmuhuai just glanced at her, then looked back at the night sky.

Next, it depends on how the opponent plans to act.

At the same time, in the camp of the First Army, Kriolev was also staring at the same night sky.

"General, it's late, you should also rest."

Adjutant Karl stood behind him, reminding in a low voice, while Kriolev shook his head.

"I'm not tired, hey... How long will it take for the second army's reinforcements to arrive?"

"It will take at least three days, and we don't have enough supplies."

Speaking of this, Lieutenant Karl frowned.

"The excuse from the council is that the supplies are insufficient, we have to find a way by ourselves!"

"snort…………………"

Kryolev snorted coldly. Of course he understood why his adjutant was so angry. Originally, according to Kryolev's idea, the deployment of three legions should be done in secret. After all, there is a cloud in the art of war. , the imaginary is real. As long as the opponent doesn't know how many troops they have in total, then they can make a big fuss about this.

But the council was fine, and they sold them all with a single mouth, and they almost reported their ID numbers to the rebels!

Now that the rebels already know that there are three legions that are united to attack them, a total of 100,000 people, now their side is completely exposed!

Not only that, Kriolev understood why the council was unwilling to give him more supplies. Because Kriolev's plan is to keep the enemy at bay, and rely on his own numbers to bloom from all directions, exhausting the rebel army. After all, there is only one steel giant, and it can only take care of one direction. If it was attacked from all directions, the Iron Giant would obviously not be able to keep up with every battle.

But this tactic would consume a lot of time and materials, and the council didn't like it. They were afraid that the other party would ignore it and drive the steel giant directly to the front of the king's city, and it would be over.

So they made excuses not to provide sufficient supplies, just to force Kriolev to make a quick decision.

This will of course cause a large number of casualties, but for the council, they hope that more people from the First Legion will die, so that the threat of the army to the council will be smaller...

"Why……………"

Kriolev sighed again. He gave up the Bonn Fortress on purpose in order to use the Bonn Fortress as bait. After all, if the opponent wants to attack, they will definitely not let the Bonn Fortress go. As long as they attack the Bonn Fortress, then It means that the hook has already been ticked. At that time, I will be able to lead the first army, the second army and the fifth army to break in at one go... Maybe there will be a chance of winning.

"Has there been any news from the Fifth Army yet?"

"........."

The adjutant Karl shook his head silently. The Fifth Army was originally a guerrilla force. It can be said that they ran around the country. Maybe they were wandering around when the Council issued an order.

In case of being blocked by the Fourth Army, that would be a problem.

But now... Kriolev has a bad feeling.

It seems like something has gone wrong.

But forget it, anyway, things have reached this point, and we can only take one step at a time.
