Wizard: I Can Extract Everything
fifty-seven: hesitant
It's night, Twilight Keep.
"...Quick, quick! Drain the water from the warehouse!"
"...Where is the craftsman? Take a look at the city wall on the right. A soldier just reported that there was a collapse there!"
"...Don't let the food soak in the water!"
In the pouring rain, Galio, who was soaking wet, wiped the rain off his face while giving orders to the soldiers.
Inside the fortress, soldiers were running back and forth, carrying food, clearing the water in the warehouse, repairing the collapse, and the entire fortress was in chaos.
The pouring rain in the twilight never stopped. The rainwater quickly overwhelmed the fortress and accumulated a thick layer. If the drainage is not carried out in time, all the strategic materials will be reimbursed.
After giving the order, Galio returned to the main building.
He opened his mouth and reported to Heathhui: "Sir, the water on the warehouse side has been emptied temporarily, and the collapse on the side of the city wall has also been sent to repair it. Now the soldiers are cleaning up the food."
Heath nodded: "Very good."
Galio frowned and said, "But now the emptying is only a temporary improvement. If the rain keeps falling like this, it will drown sooner or later."
After a pause, he said solemnly: "And the mountain walls on both sides of the city wall have shown signs of loosening. If you continue to go down, the city wall over there is likely to collapse."
The generation of Twilight Fortress belongs to arid regions, and there is very little rain all year round, so when the fortress was built, flood control was basically not considered here.
The mountain walls on both sides of the fortress are even more sparsely vegetated and the soil is soft, and a mine was excavated not long ago.
It's fine in normal times, but once this pouring rain has passed, it is very likely that a landslide will occur, and now the soil on both sides has shown signs of loosening and slipping.
The entire fortress is embedded in the mountain wall, and once a landslide occurs, it is basically equivalent to the collapse of the city wall.
Without the protection of the city wall, I will fight the undead army of ten thousand people...
In short, now Heath and the others are in big trouble.
Galio said: "Sir, what do we do now?"
How to do?
This scale is at least caused by official-level spell scrolls. What can I do as an apprentice?
Heath said solemnly, "Wait for me to think about it."
It's time to make a choice again.
At this time...
Is it running away? Or run away? Or run away?
...
That night, the soldiers who were exhausted trying to save the city wall basically spent the night in the water.
Still, bad things happened.
At dawn of the second day, with a loud bang, the mountain on the cliff on the right side of the city wall slid down, and directly washed down the city wall on the right side.
This time it was like fighting on the ground with the enemy.
Standing in front of the collapsed city wall, every soldier's eyes were filled with despair.
Galio looked at the collapse ahead and asked Heath again, "Sir, we are now..."
This time, the knight's voice was also very dry.
Heath had a headache: "Wait until I think about it."
This is not flashing, and he is also quite tangled now.
...
Before Heath had made a decision, his soldiers had already handed in the answer sheet one step ahead of him.
During the lunch hour, when the knight went to take the roll call, he suddenly found that there were more than a dozen soldiers missing, and only after the party tracked down did he find out that the dozen or so soldiers had deserted and disappeared without a trace.
One or two, although the knights have tried their best to stop, intimidate and lure, dozens of soldiers still escaped before sunset.
Even the two witches sent by the Tower of Shadows ran away.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is understandable for these soldiers to run away. After all, their allegiance is the Earl of Croa.
Now that the count is dead, they naturally have no reason to continue fighting in the castle.
And even more so for witches.
As long as the caster has the priority to evacuate on the human battlefield, he can leave at any time in case of danger, but Hiss can't stop it at all.
There were only 800 people in the fortress. Nearly 200 people were lost in the first two battles. Now nearly 100 people have escaped, and there are only about 500 people left.
On the other hand, although the enemy lost a lot, most of them were undead, and there were basically no real living troops.
There are more than 1,000 living troops, 7,000-8,000 undead troops, and a high-level apprentice with a formal-level witch tool. The strength gap between the two sides is not generally large.
And the reinforcements from Heath and the others will not arrive until sunset tomorrow at the earliest.
The third round of the enemy's attack must be early tomorrow morning, regardless of whether the senior apprentice can arrive in time, and...
Without the protection of the city wall, even if he arrives in time, he may not be able to decide the outcome.
So...
Seems like there is only one way left to retreat?
Standing on the tower, Heath rubbed his temples in pain.
In fact, he is not an insatiable person. He has brushed two attributes one after another. This trip is definitely full of pots. Talents, attributes, spells, swordsmanship, and various knowledge have been absorbed, which is far beyond his. expected.
Even if it is withdrawn now, it will never be a loss.
As far as the tower is concerned, the tower is not unreasonable. So far, his performance has been impeccable, and he cannot be blamed for such major mistakes in intelligence.
It is already an extraordinary performance for him to stand alone until now, and even if he turns around and leaves now, there is no room for criticism.
only...
Not to mention the wealth of official-level witch tools and high-level apprentices.
While inheriting the military knowledge of Count Croa, he also naturally developed a professionalism derived from a military strategist in his heart.
An analogy is like a LOL.
It took dozens of minutes to replenish troops and fought back and forth with the enemy, but now I lost three towers and even crystals due to a mistake. Is that why I continue to struggle and wait for the group wave to see? Or just hit GG directly?
After pondering for a long time, Heath finally made a decision——
Check it out again!
...
It's night, Twilight Keep.
It was two or three o'clock in the morning, and the heavy rain continued.
The soldiers nestled on the tower, the only place where there was no standing water.
Everyone did not rest, but silently looked at the surrounding scenery and prayed for the coming tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, the decisive battle will come.
Are they fighting to the death? surrender? Or flee?
Everyone feels uncertain about the future, wondering if they will see the sunset tomorrow night.
"Da da da!" At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded.
But on the stairs over there, a figure came up, it was their commander, the young wizard.
"Master Wizard..."
"grown ups..."
Everyone stood up and saluted. On the previous battlefield, the adult had proved his talent to them and was affirmed by every soldier present.
Although they lost in the end, it was because of the absolute strength gap, not because of his command.
Heath raised his hand and asked, "Is everyone here?"
A knight stepped forward and said, "Yes, my lord, there are a total of 528 soldiers, and everyone is here."
Heath nodded and said: "Okay, gather everyone together, no one is allowed to be separated alone, even if you poop, you must have at least three people to accompany you. I have something to announce later."
He suspects that there are enemy insiders in the team.
The knight said, "Yes, my lord."
Shaoqing, the soldiers were gathered.
Everyone looked at Heath, wondering what the young commander was going to say next?
Is it surrender? Or retreat?
"Da da da!" While everyone was wondering, another footstep sounded.
But I saw two knights coming up with a big black pot.
There was thick smoke billowing from the black pot, and through the few moonlight, it was faintly visible that it was a dark green liquid inside, and it released a strong strange smell.
what is this?
The soldiers stretched their necks.
Heath said: "This is the potion I prepared. Everyone has a bowl and distributes it to the soldiers to drink."
"Yes."
The two knights distributed the potion to the soldiers, and each drank a bowl.
"Huh? My eyes!"
"Isn't it night? How can I see so clearly?"
"It's incredible!"
The soldiers who drank the potion were amazed at the discovery that they suddenly had the same vision in the dark as day.
Yes, this is the [Night Vision] potion that Heath bought at the auction before.
In addition to this, he also incorporated some materials that can increase courage and increase people's excitement.
Heath then instructed the knight: "Bring everything up."
"Yes."
The two trustworthy knights of Heath went down, and after a while came up with two large sacks, and dumped all the contents on the floor, all of which were...
Armor...
The armor of the soldiers of the Duchy of Lake!
Some astute soldiers and knights had realized what Heath wanted to do, and their eyes widened all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, Heath spoke, as they expected.
Heath Road: "I won't say heartfelt lines, but I will promise you a victory."
"After you win, you will have everything!"
The Art of War Cloud: Put to death and then live.
Since I can't do it on the front tomorrow morning...
Then come to sneak attack tonight to decide the outcome!
