Chapter 777 (2/2)
Even in his eyes, there was a trace of fear.
”What's the matter?”
”Nothing. I just feel you're right.” looking at the war in the distance, Ike shook his head. ”Easy, too easy... It's amazing.”
As the voice fell, the smile on Sarika's face faded.
”My Lord of fury castle, you're kidding me, aren't you?” the girl frowned, stared at his face and said coldly: ”do you know how many people have died in the past ten days in order to fight this fortress?”
However, the serious Eckert turned his head and looked at her calmly: ”I know, I know it clearly.”
”In the ten day bloody battle, not counting the missing and slightly injured, one third of the boa Hussars were lost, and more than half of the silver Armored Cavalry were injured. When the battle is over, this number will only be more, not less;”
”There are six large phalanxes in Bain, and 2000 infantry alone have died. Two phalanxes have been completely disabled. There are no less than 300 casualties among knights. Less than two-thirds of the engineering soldiers who can operate projection weapons have died, and even more than a dozen alchemists have died in the army;”
”If it had not been for the timely formation of the ambulance team with the projection support of Lord ayin Rand on the rear line, half of our troops would not have been able to enter the fortress alive tonight!”
”You don't have to tell me about the casualties of the siege, miss Sarika Jonah.” staring at the silent and unconvinced girl, the count of fury Castle said coldly, ”I know it all.”
”But... By contrast, it's still too smooth!”
”Compare with who?!”
”With them... And ourselves.”
Eckert sighed and clenched his back teeth. ”Do you know how much Bain paid when he captured the dwarf fortress last time?”
Before Sarika could speak, he gave the answer: ”ed Turin, the penultimate Knight king of Byrne before he was loyal to the Empire, besieged an isolated city of dwarves and captured the bridgehead of their final attack on Byrne.”
”For this reason, the thirteen leaders mobilized 90000 troops, blocked roads, cut off all external water sources, and burned the whole mountain forest into white land... After four years of fighting, more than 50000 people were killed in battle before they took the last fortress in Bain.”
”The tunnel offensive I used was the tactic invented by ED Turin.” Eckert clenched his teeth and said with difficulty: ”this war greatly damaged Byrne's strength and did not recover for decades; so that later, when he joined hands with boy, he could not contain the Centaur invasion.”
”As a last resort, he swore allegiance to his majesty Eckhart I of the second generation, which achieved his great martial arts of 'great conquest'
”At present, the silver helmet mountain we are attacking is the fortress in Yunling Kingdom - in terms of firmness, depth of defense and even great disparity in strength... It is more than ten times more difficult than ed Turin in those years?”
With a sigh, the count of fury Castle turned his eyes to the war situation again: ”so I said... We played too easily.”
He frowned and his eyes narrowed into a seam.
Even to guard against the rebellion of the supreme king, the garrison strength of the silver helmet mountain dwarves can not only see these; Besides, he has captured the city gate. How can he still stick to it.
Can there be other factors that are holding their troops back from fighting?
No, no... it shouldn't be like this. Something must have happened, and it's an unexpected accident.
”Is it because of Loren and them?” Sarika hesitated and asked tentatively. ”Maybe he thought of some good way to make us play so smoothly.”
”Although I have great respect for my Duke and have unlimited confidence in his wisdom and strength...” Eckert sighed:
”I still don't think he can fight an army alone, and he is still a regular army of thousands of dwarves!”
Shrugging her shoulders, the girl shut up and was quiet for a moment.
But this brief tranquility was soon broken.
”Lord Jonah, Lord Eckert!”
The wounded Herald rushed back from the front line of the battlefield and gasped: ”count angert asked me to send a message. The enemy has begun to disperse and is breaking through the whole line, breaking through the whole line --!”
Almost at the same time, they were surprised and turned their eyes to the battlefield - indeed, as the Herald said, the dwarf's military flag could not be seen on the narrow battlefield. It was a sea of colorful swallow tail flags. There were mountain and tsunami carnivals and deafening cries everywhere.
Silver helmet mountain has been captured!
”Well, inform the front line to stabilize and rectify on the spot to prepare for the attack.” Ike calmly ordered: ”wait until the rear line army arrives, and prepare to start...”
”No, it's not!”
The pale Herald flustered and interrupted him, nervous to the extreme: ”those dwarves... Are scattered, but the direction of their collapse is very strange!”
Very strange?
The Countess of fury Castle showed surprise on her face, but Sally Ka narrowed her eyes and was still desperately looking at the distant battlefield.
Wait, shouldn't they be
”All the dwarves, hundreds, thousands...” the herald shouted, ”there are troops and civilians. Large areas are scattered... They are breaking out of the city!”
what?!
”Miss Sarika Jonah, we must change our plan at once!” acter suddenly looked back and stared nervously at the girl beside him:
”Sarika Jonah, right now, please make a decision at once --!”
