Chapter 70 (1/2)

The Watt Fortress was quiet and cal at the scene, no one would expect that an episode of horrific killing occurred just the night before Tens of thousands of people shed their blood and criedsoil was the only reminder of the battle

The 'Thorny Flower' banner was still raised but the soldiers who stood on the ere already tired and at a loss The ardoht and the battle lasted until dawn After both sides lost thousands of lives, the Great Moon Kingdom finally retreated

The soldiers on the city wall had not slept at all throughout the night They gazed frustratingly at the Great Moon Kingdon barbarians with long blades had already begun to gather ”It looks like there will be another day of fierce battle…” So sun as they were unsure if it would be the last time they see it

The original solid and tall city as already in a terrible condition The mixture of black smoke and red blood stains turned the color of the wall into a horrifying gray The gate was also destroyed in the previous night's battle There was now a hole in the gate Although the soldiers were already using giant pieces of wood to reinforce the gate, the soldiers on top of the wall could see that the ene raitated

The Northwest Legion's General Reuben stood above the gate He also fought in the battle last night but he was not feeling exhausted He had been suffering defeat for the past few days As a result, he was feeling frustrated As the Supreion, he had lost a substantial portion of the Eed at Watt Fortress Reuben knew that even if he ed to hold their position until reinforce His Majesty the Eeneral

However, Reuben still struggled to hold on because he could not allow the Northwest Legion to be completely annihilated at the Watt Fortress As a loyal soldier of the Eht to the end He could not allow the Empire's last line of defense in the Northwest, the Watt Fortress to fall into the hands of the Great Moon Kingdom! He knew that behind hidom was to capture the Watt Fortress, the entire Northwest plains would be subjected to the oppression of the Great Moon Kingdom!

Morale had already reached rock bottom after their continuous defeats There were less than 100,000 soldiers left froinal army of 200,000 Reuben was also certain that if he deducted the soldiers ere injured and could not fight, there would be less than 70,000 soldiers left Reuben also had a sense of fear towards his ene opponent used strange tactics and was proficient in long-distance raids Like a wolf, he was always able to find an opponent's weakness and persistently attacked it

Frankly speaking, Reuben knew that he was not an outstanding strategist He was a diligent soldier He was better at i the years he had served under the late Duke of the Tulip Faiven by the Duke

He coht courageously in those battles The merits he earned then were accumulated until he ended up in his current position Naturally, it was also because the Empire lacked talenteda troop and devising strategies to win battles were not things Reuben was coainst the fierce and cunning Reuenthal In all the battles against him, Reuben was forced to retreat in a completely passive state!

Reuben rehed and touched his partially white beard He actually did not like to be a supre officer serving under the duke At that time, he did not need to think at all He only needed to execute the Duke's orders Unlike then, he now needed to discuss with a bunch of coure out his opponent's next move

Shaking his head, Reuben forced hidoathered up their soldiers It appeared that a fierce and bloody battle was about to start!

”Her!” Reuben ordered the soldiers ere resting on rotation to return to the wall and prepare to fight

Fortunately, like the traditional barbarians of the plains, Reuenthal also had his oeakness He ood at siege battles
