Chapter 443 Chaos (7)

At this time, someone suddenly walked up to him silently. Mober subconsciously looked back and found that it was Ellie sitting next to him with a lonely expression on his face.

"Why, don't you go and rest? You won't be able to hold on anymore." Seeing Ellie slowly rubbing her blistered feet, Mopper immediately asked with concern.

In fact, what surprised him the most in the past few days was that Ellie, who looked extremely weak, had been trekking long distances without sleep for several days. Ordinary people would have been unable to bear it.

But the girl in front of me actually gritted her teeth and persevered all the way. Instead of dragging anyone down along the way, she used her remaining magic power to treat the more seriously injured soldiers. With her help,

The attrition of the team has been brought under control to a certain extent.

"It's nothing, I'm not tired." Ellie shook her head gently and said, then she hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and looked at Mo Bai silently. After a moment, she suddenly said, "Mo Bai

Er, do you think we can wait until reinforcements come to rescue us?"

"Of course it's no problem." Seeing Ellie's indifferent expression, Mopper immediately tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Do you remember what I told you in the past? Don't give up hope no matter what, no matter how slim it is, it's possible.

It will bring you a surprise at the last minute, right?"

"Yeah." Ellie responded and buried her head again. When she raised her head again after a while, the uneasiness and melancholy on her face had been wiped away, and then she walked to Mobo with a smile on her face.

He stood beside me, kissed him gently on the cheek, and whispered, "Thank you, Mopper."

The unprepared Mober's face instantly became like a ripe tomato. Before he could react, Ellie had already stood up and walked into the camp. However, when she was about to reach the door, Ellie turned around again.

, smiled and encouraged: "I can see that your companions are also very dependent on you, so please cheer up."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it. As long as I have your encouragement, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will fight him to the end." Looking at Ellie's back, Mober swore secretly in his heart.

Just as Mober expected, Felicia's troops appeared within their warning range at noon the next day. After careful search, it only took them a few hours to discover the hidden treasure.

This inconspicuous small camp in the mountains and forests.

After discovering the target, the Phylicians immediately launched an attack. Facing the overwhelming number of Phylician soldiers, the Free Alliance soldiers did not feel flinched. Everyone risked their lives to resist the frenzied attack of the Phylician army.

The two sides fought in a stalemate on the mountainside next to the camp for nearly two hours. With the favorable terrain and tenacious will, the Free Alliance repelled five charges from the Phylician army.

However, the Phylicians did not appear to be discouraged at all. Due to the limited width of the mountain road, they could only accommodate more than thirty people charging at a time, so they divided the team into several echelons and took turns fighting in an attempt to bring down the Free Alliance through wheel battles.

This fighting method soon had its effect. The already exhausted Alliance warriors finally could no longer support themselves under the constant impact of the fatigue bombing of the Phylicians. After fighting for about an hour, Momo finally

Burr could only order to abandon the defense on the mountainside and retreat into the camp.

But before that, more than twenty Alliance soldiers had fallen forever on the battlefield on the mountainside, and with them were the corpses of nearly a hundred Phylician soldiers.

After defeating the defense line set up by the Alliance Army on the mountainside, the Phylicians immediately rushed to the entrance of the camp with all their strength, intending to annihilate in one fell swoop the Alliance team that had been harassing them for a long time.

However, at this time they discovered that the opponent's camp was not that easy to attack. Since the Freedom Alliance's camp was built on a mountain col, the road leading there was narrower than before. In addition to the wooden fences built around the camp, each time the camp was at most

Only a dozen Phylician soldiers can engage in contact combat with Alliance soldiers.

As a result, the Phylicians are almost unable to pose much of an effective threat to the Free Alliance, because they simply cannot take advantage of their numerical advantage.

However, since the soldiers of the Free Alliance spent a lot of money along the way, and the crossbow arrows were almost completely consumed, there was no good way to counter the Fericians' charge. They could only rely on the protection of the wooden fence to fight with the opponent.

As a result, the two sides soon became stalemate again at the entrance of the camp.

This time the battle lasted until night. Knowing that if they continued to fight, the Phylicians would probably suffer non-combat attrition due to the dark night and muddy mountain roads, so they finally had to give up the idea of ​​continuing the attack and withdrew again to the top of the mountain where the camp was located.

They repaired the flat ground far away. This time, both sides left dozens of cold corpses around the camp.

After watching the Phylicians recede like a tide, Mober finally breathed a sigh of relief. After paying the lives of more than thirty companions, the first day of battle finally ended.

The thought of persisting under such a strong attack from the Phylicians made him feel very unsure.

In his view, the Phylicians have become much more proficient in mountain warfare than they were in the earliest times. They no longer feel uncomfortable due to the rugged mountain terrain, and they have become very skilled in taking advantage of their own contradictions.

Gradually smooth out your geographical advantages.

In today's battle, it seems that the terrain was not a big advantage. I am afraid that their team will not be able to hold on for even an hour. After all, the opponent's team has at least a thousand people, which is more than ten times his own. He has been able to fight to this level.

I felt very satisfied.

As soon as it dawned the next day, the Phylicians began to attack again, obviously not intending to give the Free Alliance fighters any breathing space. Considering the Phylicians' obvious advantages in numbers and weapons and equipment, Mober decided this time

Instead of letting their companions set up defenses on the mountainside, they defended directly in the camp and used the existing defense settings to delay as much time as possible. However, in this way, they completely gave up the possibility of escape, leaving them only to defeat the enemy and the entire army.

There are two ways to go.

The plan to completely retreat to the camp soon brought results. The Felicians launched almost non-stop offensives throughout the morning, still hoping to use wheel tactics to bring down the Free Alliance like yesterday. However, this time their calculations were wrong, and they were more than enough.

The Local Limited Freedom Alliance also divided the team into small teams to take turns fighting the Phylicians to give others some breathing time, so the two sides fought fiercely until noon. The Freedom Alliance's defense line still seemed unbreakable, and at this moment

The Phylicians had already suffered a loss of nearly two hundred people, which their commander could not have imagined. After launching a final symbolic attack, the Phylicians retreated again. It seemed that in the morning

The attack brought them considerable setbacks.

After once again seeing the Phylicians retreating in disgrace, all the soldiers in the camp couldn't help bursting into laughter. In the entire morning of fighting, they only had more than a dozen soldiers injured and no one was killed. At this moment, almost everyone believed them.

They could wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but the joy of the Union soldiers lasted less than two hours. In the subsequent battle, the weapon that Mober had been worried about finally appeared on the battlefield.

The new battle started when a huge stone suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision without warning. The huge stone was accompanied by a loud sound before the soldiers guarding the wooden fence of the camp could react.

The sound hit a wooden fence, and at the same time, the screams of those who were hit by the boulder but were not killed were also remembered.

"Everyone back off!" At this time, Mober had already seen another boulder hitting the camp one by one from the foot of the mountain. Although most of them were not accurate, there must be a sound inside when the wooden fence of the camp was hit.

The wood chips all over the sky collapsed completely, so Mober immediately shouted loudly, and then all the companions stationed at the wooden fence retreated deep into the col to avoid the attack of the boulders. After hearing his order, all the guards stationed at the wooden fence

The soldiers left the wooden fence with extremely reluctant expressions. They knew that once the wooden fence was destroyed, they would be completely out of danger. If the Phylicians charged again, they would not have to go there at all.

guess.

Possibly due to the narrowness of the mountain road, the Phylicians stopped throwing a few more boulders. Then they immediately let the infantry attack again. This time, the alliance soldiers who had lost their support could not repulse them as easily as they did in the morning.

The charge of the Phylicians. The two sides started an extremely brutal fight at the gate of the camp. This time, even Ellie, who had been trying to break through the seal in her body, had to take part in the battle. Although the magic that could be used was extremely limited, in the silence

With the help of the staff, even the lowest level of magic seemed quite threatening. After the battle at the camp entrance lasted for nearly four hours, the consciousness of the Phylicians was once again defeated by the tenacious Free Alliance. But this time they also

It also cost dozens of lives to barely hold on to the camp. Looking at the thirty or so companions who survived, Mober's face looked a little desperate.

After thinking twice, Mopper stood up, walked to Ellie who was healing his companion, and gently patted her shoulder to indicate that he had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Ellie wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked in the open space outside the camp. Apparently she didn't notice Mopper's expression.

"Ellie, I'm afraid we can't support the reinforcements now. I will gather all my companions in a while and find ways to disrupt the Phylicians' position to attract their attention. At that time, you can take advantage of their confusion and head towards Gale Canyon.

Run. This is the topographic map of Gale Canyon. With this, you should be able to hide it from the Phylicians and escape." Mober said and handed a parchment in his hand to Ellie.

before.

"What kind of consciousness do you have?" Ellie slapped away the parchment handed to her by Mopper and said with a slight anger on her face, "Do you want me to leave all my companions and run away alone? This kind of thing

I can’t do things.”

"Don't be willful, Ellie. We can no longer hold on now. With everyone's current situation, it is very likely that we will not be able to hold on tomorrow. My companions and I have been prepared to sacrifice since we participated in this war.

But before that, we must make our death worthwhile, and at least ensure your safety. You are different from us. You are a great magician with the ability to change the battlefield, so you must not die in vain with us in a place like this.

.”

"No, I don't want it. I don't want to run away alone." Faced with Mober's kind words, Ellie didn't appreciate it. She still shook her head and shouted harder, and her face was filled with tears at this moment.

She burst into tears, "Why, why do you have to sacrifice so many people to protect me every time? The same is true for the teacher, and the same is true for Edward. Now even you... I don't want, I don't want the people around me to leave me again, no!"

"Obey Ellie, even if you have to live to avenge us, please stay alive. I'm begging you." Mober held Ellie's shoulders tightly with both hands, and then said every word.

But how could Ellie listen to those words at this time? She was seen swaying excitedly to get rid of Mopper's hands while crying: "Why, why? Every time the person next to me wants to

Die for me, why!"

Seeing Ellie's tears streaming down her face, Mober couldn't help but feel the circles in his eyes getting hot. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly hugged Ellie into his arms, trying hard not to let her leave him. And Ellie was there

After struggling in Mopper's arms for a while, she stopped moving and her crying gradually became quieter. Soon she was lying on his chest and sobbing softly.

After seeing that Ellie finally calmed down, Mopper finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly stroked Ellie's golden straight hair and said nothing. After a long time, Ellie finally raised her head and used her hand, which was already red from crying.

Looking at Mopper with both eyes.

"Is this really all there is to it?"

"Yes. I don't want to either. But the Phylicians now have trebuchets, and our defense is nothing in front of that thing. So this is the last resort."

"Really?" Ellie said, carefully breaking away from Mober's arms, then looking at the Felicia camp below from the cliff beside the walkway, and then pointed to a brighter camp in the distance and said, "You said

Is that what the trebuchet is?”

Following Ellie's finger, Mopper saw four or five improvised trebuchets scattered in the camp, with no Phylician patrols walking around.

"That's right. That's it." Mopper's tone still contained hatred for those killing machines that killed many of his companions.

"Does that mean that without those things, everyone can continue to hold on?" Inadvertently, Ellie asked again.

"If it doesn't exist, maybe." Mopper couldn't figure out why Ellie asked this for a moment, and answered subconsciously.
