Demon Royal Family

The lights on the city wall were brightly lit, and the guards nervously stared at the Baria camp like a giant beast lurking in the night, for fear of their night attack.

The soldiers who participated in the wall-defending battle during the day have long since rested. Now the defense line has sufficient manpower and can work in two shifts to ensure combat effectiveness.

Ivo didn't dare to sleep. He overestimated Duke Kane as much as possible, fearing that something might happen to him at night, so he sailed with caution.

A peaceful night.

The next morning, the Barian army launched another probing attack and withdrew its troops at noon.

Kane seemed to see that Liema Town's defense was tighter, and sent two troops to attack in other directions, but in the end they were unsuccessful. The 12,000 men of the Pegasus Legion supplemented the manpower of the defense line, although they were not able to compete with them. Compared with the iron barrel, it can be considered a tightly fitting wooden barrel, and it is not so easy to find loopholes.

During the three months of winter, with the help of Ivo, the long walls of Youge Town and Jinggu were finally completed. The three long walls were connected to form an arc, and the gaps in the arc were dug out of the Golden Tongue River. The huge lake formed behind the tributary of the Dorne River can be said to have fortifications at 360 degrees.

In the end, Barea seemed to want to attack by force, using a large number of manpower to break through the defense line. This was a stupid method, and it was also a method that left people helpless.

Ivo can understand Kane's thoughts, trade his life for time, quickly break through the defense line, rush into the Western Territory, destroy Lasces' last pure land before Lasces' support arrives, and ruin Lasces' final comeback in the war. hope.

In the afternoon, tens of thousands of Baria's troops mobilized and attacked the defense line like a tide. There were hundreds of ladders and catapults without interruption.

The defense line has encountered unprecedented pressure. Tens of thousands of well-trained enemies are not afraid of death and are attacking the city wall in an endless stream. They have taken away an area and are forming a formation to gain a foothold.

Ivo led some masters to rush forward, and with his superior strength, he defeated the group of enemies and kept putting out the fire.

The two swords whirled and danced, bringing with them a stream of cold sword light, and Ivo slaughtered on the city wall like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Suddenly his eyebrows tingled, and his instinct warned him. Ivo quickly turned around to parry, and a big sword struck his two swords with heavy force. Ivo's steps swayed involuntarily.

A burly Barrian, who was a head taller than an ordinary person, swung his sword towards Ivo. The armor on his body was more complicated than that of an ordinary soldier, and he seemed to be a low-level officer.

Bri is a centurion of Barea, famous for his bravery. Before joining the army, he was an experienced mercenary who had been in the army for many years. He is very strong and has a higher vision. He can distinguish himself from the rebel army at a glance. Ivo immediately understood that Ivo was a high-level official in the territory.

Buri immediately knew that he had caught a big fish. As long as he could capture the enemy's commander's head from the ten thousand troops, he would at least be promoted to infantry captain.

Brie followed Ivo, staring closely at him, spotting Ivo's opportunity to kill the enemy, and struck Ivo's back with a fierce sword attack. There was such chaos around him that in his opinion Ivo had no time to react. His big sword is an enchanted weapon that a mercenary has saved up for many years to buy. It is extremely sharp and can easily split steel into two pieces. As he swung the sword, Bree could not help but think of the scene of his promotion, and the excitement on his face There is no way to hide it.

But Ivo, as if he had eyes on his back, turned around and blocked the blow. Brie's heart suddenly went cold. But the next moment, Ivo's battle-hardened swords were directly cut off by the big sword, and Brie's hope was restored. When the fire started, he gritted his teeth and killed directly. He raised his big sword and stabbed Ivo in the abdomen.

However, before he could recover, Ivo's figure suddenly disappeared from his retinas, and then a dazzling cold light passed by at lightning speed. Brie didn't even react, and a cold feeling appeared on his neck. , this coldness quickly spread to the whole body, and there was a large spray of blood red in his sight. After being stunned for a moment, Bree realized that this was the blood spurting from his neck.

Brie slowly knelt down on the ground, with a face full of reluctance and fear. He looked at Ivo who turned around and continued to charge with two broken blades, feeling regretful in his heart.

"It turns out that the one who couldn't react... was me."

Although Bri's sneak attack did not put any pressure on Ivo, Ivo's face was solemn. Among the regular troops of the Barians, there were many warriors who broke through the physical limits, or formal knights and swordsmen. The ratio was about fifty to one. In the range of one hundred to one, although the strength is not high, the damage caused to the guards cannot be estimated numerically.

Just like the scene he just saw, six territorial guards surrounded three Barians. However, one of the Barians was a formal swordsman and easily killed the six guards and captured a small area. Later, he was Stonehoof killed it promptly.

These formal professionals are like poisonous snakes hiding in the woods. They can easily disrupt the situation on a small-scale battlefield and cause damage to the guards.

But Ivo didn't panic. He recruited wandering mercenaries to deal with this situation.

I saw the mercenaries or students of the Hurricane Regiment hiding among the guards trying to retaliate. This was even more disadvantageous to the attackers who had no terrain to rely on. When measured, the Barians suffered more strategically.

The strong defensive power of the defense line was finally revealed. There were rows of bunkers behind the city wall, which were higher than the city wall. They shot arrows from a high position to attack the enemy. The strong men in the territory were waiting to prevent the enemy's masters from crossing the long wall and entering the territory.

The Barians rushed towards the city wall one after another, but they were never able to achieve much success.

The defense line has a certain resilience and is very resistant to pressure. No matter how much pressure is exerted by Baria's huge number of people, it seems to be crumbling, but it can always hold up.

Kane thought that with his numerical advantage, the defense line would be quickly overwhelmed, but the result before him surprised him. He couldn't help but have a greater estimate of the role of the defense line. After weighing the resources consumed by the attack, he secretly said : "The cost of using numbers to attack is beyond expectation. It's not cost-effective. We'd better think of other ways."

Looking at the city wall where the fierce fighting was taking place, in just half an afternoon, the Barians had left nearly a thousand corpses under the city wall, and there was no critical progress. Such a high damage rate made Kane, a veteran of the war, The veteran general was frightened. This was not a mob, but a regular army. A thousand people could have a greater effect than three thousand thugs and bandits, but now they died in vain. He sighed and ordered: "Retreat."

The Barians blew the retreat horn again. Different from the previous two trials, the Barian soldiers who originally had a winning attitude were stunned. Although they were well-trained and obeyed the orders immediately, their morale was hit and they were killed by the guards. They chased and beat him hard, and finally retreated to the camp.

Only thousands of corpses were left, piled under the city walls.

Excited cheers erupted on the long wall, and all the surviving guards murmured and shouted in tears, celebrating this victory.

They still had a dream-like feeling in their hearts. There were several times when they felt that they could not stand it any longer. But in the end, the Barians who had been tormenting Lassis for nearly a year were repelled by them. At this moment, all Lassais There was a sense of pride in the hearts of the people.

Captain Lucian Juan looked dumbfounded and murmured: "The defense line actually withstood Barea's all-out attack..."

In the distance, Kane looked at Ivo, who was holding on to the wall and gasping for air. This time he formally looked at this small character who was not in his eyes. After a long time, he ordered the adjutant beside him: "Take this Give me all the information about the lord, I want to see it immediately."

The next step in paying attention is to take it seriously.

When he found that the number of people could not open the defense line, the legendary Duke was finally ready to face up to his opponent Ivo and start a real contest.

This is an admission and a pressure.

Ivo's face was as dark as water. Unlike the cheering guards around him, he was not blindly optimistic, but worried.

Just a strong attack can cause huge pressure. If certain tactics are used, the defense will be in a dangerous situation.

Ivo saw this clearly.

The night after the battle, Ivo wrote a letter and gave it to Nebuldan, "Help me deliver this letter to the rightful owner."

Nebuldan's dragon eyes showed confusion, as if he didn't understand why Ivo didn't let him go to the battlefield.

Ivo shook his head, thinking of the scene that the Little Devil No. 1 sent back after the investigation. The alchemy cannons in the Baria camp. If Nebuldan were to go out, they would be hit like meteorites. A single shot of this cannon would The war weapon that requires more than 100,000 Benas is the haze in Ivo's heart.

Nebuldan flapped his wings and took off into the sky, flying towards the north.

In the envelope tied to its dragon horns, there was an ancient coin.
