Chapter 961 (2/2)

………………………………

”See you again, Loren Turin... Duke.”

With a stiff smile, the knight of lottel, Aaron, who also carried a big sword with both hands, stood on the side of the black haired Wizard: ”it seems that we really came at the right time.”

”Yes, it's a little close.” he sighed softly, and Lauren smiled bitterly with some emotion, looking down at the fragmented port battlefield being torn by the boa Hussars.

At the same time, lottel's knights and longbowmen have entered the city and joined the armed citizens of eboden in the city wall battlefield to gradually recapture the stronghold controlled by the elves.

It's really a little close. I can only order the whole line to retreat.

”Look at your expression, there seems to be some regret.” Aaron, who misunderstood the black haired wizard's sigh, smiled helplessly: ”yes, it was not me who should have led the army, but Lu Wen himself.”

”But just before departure, there was a sudden news from the ancient wood forest, and it was found that there were signs of a large number of military actions in the north of the forest.”

north?

Loren suddenly looked back: ”fog moon court.”

”It should be.” Aaron nodded seriously: ”an army of Azores has landed in the fog moon court and will invade Shenlin castle at any time.”

”As a last resort, ruwen, he can only stay in lottel and prepare to resist the invasion - it's a pity for him, but it's a relief for us; he's the Lord of lottel and doesn't want him to come to such a dangerous place anyway.”

With a wry smile, Aaron showed a proud expression: ”nevertheless, he finally arrived as scheduled - 8000 lottel troops, 1000 knights, 4000 Eagle hunting Fort archers and 3000 heavy infantry. Listen to the orders of the Lord of Byrne!”

”It's my honor. After all, I'm half loterian.” he shrugged his shoulders and looked very comfortable. Finally, he didn't have to stay alone anymore. It's still a very happy thing:

”By the way, what happened to Boye's Hussars - I mean, how did they come with you?”

The voice fell, and a very strange expression suddenly appeared on Aaron's face opposite.

”What's the matter?”

Lauren frowned slightly. Did he ask what he shouldn't ask?

”No, nothing, I just thought you should have known.” Aaron's face showed a very ”subtle” smile: ”or... You haven't received any news yet?”

What news?

The expression of the dark haired wizard was even more incredible.

”Lord Loren Turin, Lord of Byrne - you are famous, completely famous!”

Aaron shook his head: ”it's only ten days. From eboden to Byrne, the whole empire knows that you are alone against the army of Azores!”

”Throughout the Empire, people are praising your deeds, especially your two previous' Imperial declarations' and warnings about future crises, which make all the Knights of the Empire admire you.”

”It can be said that now all Empire people who think they are knights are packing up and going to eboden, hoping to join your command - the battle of eboden has become a battle of glory!”

Speaking of this, Aaron sighed and said, ”of course, these are meaningless to you now. Even if they will come, it will be a month later; whether eboden can hold it a month later is a problem.”

”As for the boa Hussars you want to know - that's because emperor Conrad opened the passage of East Saxony so that the principality troops in the East and South can pass through East Saxony and get sufficient supplies. That's why they can be so fast.”

I see

Lauren nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding the reason.

All the legions of the Empire add up to about 150000; This is the essence of imperial power and the greatest cost of confrontation with the elves. Conover did not want to spend power in Eboden.

But he also knew that eboden, who could not get support, would fall in advance, leaving him no time to integrate all the legions; So let go of the road and let the elite of the principalities form reinforcements to hold the enemy for as long as possible.

”So now we have eight thousand of lottel and five thousand of Boye.” Loren said in a deep voice: ”thirteen thousand troops, relying on the city wall, should be able to...”

”No!”

Aaron suddenly interrupted, ”not thirteen thousand, but twenty thousand.”

Then lottel's Knight raised his right hand and pointed to his direction - next to the bloody cross, there was another flag and a large army.

Seven thousand light infantry from El mans have arrived under the city of eboden!

……………………………………………………

Reinforcements still came.

The little prince's smile became a little stiff when he saw the appearance of the boa Hussars.

With only the last bit to go, eboden's garrison must collapse, and the whole city is already in its own pocket - at this time, the arrival of reinforcements will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the garrison.

It is obviously impossible to seize the city immediately.

Although everything was as expected and the enemy's performance was more wonderful than expected, it was still a little lost.

After all, I watched the victory and flew away.

On the deck of the flagship, the atmosphere was dead.

Looking at the wall defense line that is about to be captured, because the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the rear line is dispersed, and they are taken back by the eboden garrison bit by bit. They even have to retreat to stabilize their position and not collapse

All the elves kept their mouths shut for fear that they would become the unlucky man who was angry with his Highness the prince.

Although the little prince seldom gets angry with others, this kind of thing is always possible - when the victory is in front of him, he suddenly suffers a heavy blow, and the unimaginable frustration is devastating to the commander of the first army.

This is not the fear of death, but rather than becoming unlucky, they prefer to die bravely on the battlefield... At least that can be called glory.

The little prince who sighed raised his head, blinked his eyes in a relaxed way, and looked at the elves warriors who were nervous and afraid of getting angry:

”Now that the enemy's reinforcements have come, there seems to be no hope of victory for the time being - let the army retreat as soon as possible and assemble on the shore; in any case, we must guard the port and never let the beachhead out.”

”Oh, yes! Send another messenger to the Duke of Byrne and say... Well, I want to see him!”
