Lord of the North

"My lord, they charged up the northern city wall!"

"My lord! The south gate is urgent, the defense line has been breached by the enemy, they have entered the town, our soldiers are forced to start a street fight with them!"

"The west side is about to be overwhelmed!"

In Dede Town, Panick listened to his subordinates constantly reporting the battle situation to him with a pale face. His chest was wrapped in a thick bandage, and there was a set of armor standing not far from him, with a terrifying crack on it. It was left behind by an Iron Fang collar soldier who charged up the city wall.

The tomahawk in the soldier's hand had torn through his armor, which had been bought so expensively, and left a deep gash in his chest.

If it wasn't for the lack of stamina after the tomahawk tore through the armor and got stuck on it, Panik would probably have died by now.

Although the soldier was pierced through the throat by his guard's sword in the end, Panik could never go to the battlefield to supervise the battle again.

This dealt a huge blow to the morale of his army. Although they repelled Jason's several attacks in the next two days, they also suffered heavy casualties.

The only remaining 4,000 soldiers lost thousands of people again. It is hard to believe that this was a loss in two days. It can be seen how fierce the battle on the city wall was.

Especially the heavy armored infantry under Jason's command, they are like killing machines on the battlefield in Dede Town. Their sophisticated armor allows them to ignore most attacks, but basically every time they swing their weapons, they will take away a life.

After these soldiers appeared on the battlefield, an open space was immediately cleared around them. They contributed a lot to the breach of the south gate wall of Dede Town.

"My lord, let's make a decision. If this goes on like this, we will have no hope at all."

A commander stood in front of Panik with his head bowed, and behind him were several commander-level army generals. None of them looked up at Panik, because they were ashamed of their cowardice.

But this is not their fault, the gap between the two sides is really too big, not only the gap in equipment, but also the gap in combat quality.

Usually, three or five soldiers from the Jalan province can replace a soldier under Jason's command, and Jason's current army has nearly ten thousand soldiers! There is no way this war can go on.

"General Panik, we brought our soldiers here to help you destroy the rebellious Jason, not to die, so please make a decision."

The person who spoke was a general dressed as an aristocrat, his name was Janis, he was an earl, and he was the most powerful person in this army besides Panik.

But his rights in the army were emptied by Panick long ago.

Now he is sitting on the left side of the hall, besides him, there are seven or eight other nobles, big and small, but they are not as calm as Janis.

They all brought the troops in their territory to assist Panik this time, but now instead of reaping the benefits, they lost their family fortunes.

Maybe his own life will stay here. The unwritten rule of not killing nobles on the battlefield is of no use to Jason.

What's more, they killed a nobleman by mistake when they attacked Jason's camp that night.

"Earl Janis, I don't think we've lost yet. We can still start a street fight with them, and we can drag them out for a long time...cough cough cough..."

Panik was a little excited when he heard the words, and tried to stand up. He knew exactly what these people wanted to do. Except for seizing power and dividing up the loot, he had never seen these people so united.

"General Panik, your injury is too serious. I think you should temporarily hand over the army to Earl Janis, so that you can have time to recuperate."

At this time, a nobleman who had been sitting next to Earl Janis with his eyes closed and resting his mind suddenly spoke up. He didn't want to waste any more time. Jason's army was about to enter the town.

Panik glared at the nobleman angrily,

But what made him feel desperate was that none of his cronies and leaders on the other side spoke for him, and they all kept silent.

All of a sudden, Panick felt his entire body drained of strength.

"You...ahem...do you all think so?" He looked at the military commanders who had been pulled up from under the quilt, and asked weakly.

"Yes, General." After a long silence, the commanders spoke with difficulty.

"I get it, I get it..."

Panik felt completely hopeless for a moment, but he was responsible for all of this. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way and being smart to take the lead in attacking Jason, maybe the situation wouldn't be so bad, right?

"Earl Janis, take your soldiers and leave. Don't go from the east. If possible, break out from the west."

He coughed a few times, waved his hands lightly, and continued, "I'm almost dying. I'll leave a few hundred soldiers for you, and I'll cut off the heirs for you."

"Follow the general to the death!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commanders on the side suddenly knelt down, and they roared in unison, making Earl Janis and the others terrified.

Is this man's prestige in the army already so terrible?

"We will remember your contribution."

Earl Janis slowly got up and saluted him, and then said respectfully.

That afternoon, 800 soldiers who voluntarily stayed gathered in the small square outside the mayor's mansion. Standing in front of them was Panik who was barely standing with his long sword in the broken armor.

Everyone looked firmly at the only avenue leading to the mayor's mansion. They held the weapons in their hands tightly, and sweat dripped from the tips of their noses.

Not long ago, Earl Janis and those noble gentlemen gathered less than 2,000 remnants and broke through the east gate that was not guarded by the enemy. It wasn't that they didn't want to go from the west, but that they had no choice.

There are too many enemies in the west, and the defense line of the city wall in the south has already been breached. The battle in the north is the most intense place. It is tantamount to suicide for them to go from these places.

Only the east gate was not guarded by anyone, which basically told him that there was an ambush not far to the east, but they still had to retreat from here.

Because there is only one dead end in Dede Town, there may be a glimmer of life to break out from here, although this glimmer of life is just their fantasy.

As for the remaining soldiers, they are still defending against Jason's attack on the city wall, but they may have been wiped out now.

After a while, the sound of neat footsteps came from the end of the avenue, and the booming sound seemed to hit everyone's heart. The huge pressure made some people's legs start to tremble.

Finally, heavily armored soldiers wearing bronze armor appeared in their line of sight. Everyone had more or less blood and scars on their bodies. They approached them with huge shields and long knives. Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Killing intent.

"boom!!"

They stopped suddenly when they were less than a hundred meters away from Panick and the others, and quickly separated from the middle, making way for a passage.

A young nobleman in gorgeous armor appeared in front of the crowd accompanied by two generals.

He glanced around first, then grinned, showing his white teeth: "General Panik, we finally meet."
