Chapter 959

The eighth day of eboden's offensive and defensive battle - with the purpose of the elf fleet to capture the castle completely exposed, the battle between the offensive and defensive sides finally entered the most intense state.

After only a night's rest, 40000 elves once again approached the wall of eboden; Almost at the same time, another small fleet bypassed the port and landed on another smaller beach not far away, and the army landed immediately.

It is called "small fleet", which is only relatively speaking - 3000 elite Elven warriors built temporary siege camps and fortifications along the river bank, surrounded and stormed the ancient castle.

For the first time, the eboden garrison "really" felt the pressure brought by the enemy's all-round attack.

From the circular fortress to the ancient castle on the other side of the gem River, all the alarm bells on the whole eboden defense line almost sounded like "beating drums and passing flowers"; Defense lines and strongholds continued to catch fire under the desperate attack of Elven warriors, almost all of them were in urgent need.

The fragile eboden wall is like a leaky iron net. Only a few fortifications are easily filled by the enemy's advantage of military strength.

And once the part loses the advantage of more enemies and fewer enemies, in the case of one-on-one, eboden's defenders can only be a one-sided massacre against the elves!

In the face of the enemy's all-round attack, Loren can only take a small part of the remaining Bain knights and demon hunters as the "fire captain", running back and forth on the wall defense line to block the enemy's pace as much as possible.

The shrill screams continued to return home over the port, and the broken bodies fell one by one from the city wall - rubble, broken bodies, damaged curtain walls and catapults fell with the smoke and dust rolled up by the explosion and piled up in the trenches on both sides.

At this stage of the battle, if the eboden garrison can insist on not being defeated out of guarding their homes, then the mercenaries are purely out of fear.

Although the number is very small, the enemy has landed on the other side of the river; In the absence of reinforcements, retreat is tantamount to death.

Sticking is death, and running away is death; The mercenaries handed them bags of gold and silver coins. Looking at the enemies swarming under the city wall, they could only rush up with a tearful cry. They cursed why they were obsessed with money and ran away before the elves came.

But it's too late to say anything now.

At night, the elves who failed to completely capture the city wall chose to retreat again; The eboden garrison, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was ordered to return to the post immediately before enjoying a hot meal and taking advantage of a good sleep before rotation.

Facing such an "inhumane" commander, the Garrison - or mainly mercenaries - did not unexpectedly riot.

Then they experienced the "treatment" that only the elite of elves could enjoy before.

Twelve leaders were directly blasted into coke by Loren Turin's "Turin fire"; Then he carried the "dawn" sword and killed these defeated soldiers until they collapsed.

The mercenaries who knelt down and surrendered were separated. More than a dozen legions who were less guilty were sent to the ancient castle to help defend there, and the rest were hanged on the wall as an example.

So no one dared to resist Duke Byrne's orders for the time being.

Until late at night, the eboden garrison finally knew why Duke Byrne was so "inhuman".

Because the Azores are coming again - and it's just the time of the original job change, just like it was planned!

The reason why you can guess is also very simple: because the "light column" emitted by the elf fleet to the city wall after retreat is like "playing a watch" is not just to see fireworks, but to measure the accurate time of the guard shift from the reaction of the city wall and the strength of the ice barrier.

Eight days, they finally got it!

Immediately, 40000 elves came again under the cover of the night.

Forty thousand troops, no more, no less, can just rotate the main army of the enemy once, the strength is still twice that of the defenders, and can just fill the whole front on the eboden coast!

The battle at night is more arduous than that during the day - the defenders who have not had time to rest and are full of complaints just because of a riot are not ready to face the fierce attack of the elf army.

This time, it was not just Loren who took people to "fight the fire", but he had to go to the battle in person to suppress the momentum of the enemy's attack; Finally, thousands of women and children in eboden were forcibly recruited as auxiliary soldiers, and 3000 patrol troops were replaced on the wall to fill the gap.

The battle lasted until the early morning. After paying the loss of 3000 people, they finally managed to repel the elves again - but both the city wall and the ancient castle on the other side of the river were crumbling.

At dawn, the exhausted garrison welcomed not only the sunrise, but also the horn of the Azores elves army.

After the complete withdrawal of the army at night, warships and boats loaded with another 40000 troops launched a fierce attack on the eboden coast again.

By the tenth day of the offensive and defensive war, the whole eboden was in mourning.

The eboden garrison finally understood the elves' plan and why they only "tasted and stopped" feint every time and retreated before the casualties expanded.

Because there is no need to fight any more. Such a high-intensity and uninterrupted attack only lasts for two or three days. Without their hands, the extremely tired garrison can collapse by itself!

The weak and weak eboden garrison can't do any harm to the retreating elves at all - because as long as they leave the protection range of the city wall, what is waiting for them is a massacre!

Tortured by cold, disease, fatigue and nervous tension... Not to mention fighting, they are losing their motivation to live - the number of casualties is increasing several times compared with before.

In the face of the crumbling defense line, the always cautious Earl of fury castle, Eckert, and the rest of the eboden freedom Council (although almost the whole family on the side of the wizard tower) finally agreed to Loren's plan to go out of the city to fight.

So in the early morning of that day, when the elves retreated calmly, the city gate of eboden suddenly opened, and the light cavalry composed of 1000 Bain knights and 2000 mercenaries gathered into an army launched a sudden charge towards the beach.

The purpose is not to kill, but to burn the enemy's boats and rafts transporting soldiers!

At the moment of the raid, the unprepared Elves were torn apart and could not organize effective defense at all; Three thousand cavalry immediately rushed to the beach and set fire to the beach full of ships with fire tanks, kindling agents, and even anything that could be lit.

The enemy's response was also very rapid - in less than a quarter of an hour, the elite of the rear line quickly straightened out and began to block and surround the cavalry.

Although Loren immediately led the army to retreat, he was constantly caught up; The galloping war horse was trapped in the beach, the heavily armed Byrne knight was dragged from the war horse by the enemy, and the panicked mercenary died in the arrow rain

The plan was successful, and a large number of small boats were burned. Even if the elves put out fire with sea water and rescued some, the damage was more than half; The Byrne knights who set out with Loren also lost a third, and the mercenaries lost more than half of their casualties.

In any case, it finally won a rest time for the eboden garrison; The morale damaged elf fleet did not attack again in the next day.

Looking at the wounded Duke Byrne, eboden did not dare to question his decision and judgment from parliament to civilians.

Or when it comes to this desperate moment, Loren is their only hope. If they don't listen, they have to listen.

But eboden was indeed on the verge of collapse - the elves could bring down the rotten door with just one more foot.

The twelfth day - the Garrison who won a day's rest did not waste, but spent most of its energy on rebuilding fortifications; Although the Elven fleet, which had lost half of its boats, tried every means to supplement it, the military momentum obviously didn't look as strong as before.

The only "surprise" was that a small elf army attacked the wall near the South; Although he was small and beaten back, Loren ordered to block the news and publicized that he sent troops to search for supplies.

At present, eboden is completely supported by the belief of fighting back and defending his home; Once you know that the enemy has begun to land and encircle yourself from the back, your morale will drop thousands of miles!

On the thirteenth day, the regiment commander of the castle was finally in an emergency and asked Loren Turin for support.

The Legion soldiers guarding the castle alone are not only tired and heavy casualties, but also face three to four times the enemy - which can make the proud Legion commander ask for help, which is enough to prove that the situation is so dangerous that the castle will fall at any time.

But the truth is that Loren himself can't transfer anyone now - casualties are expanding, and the wall defense is also in danger. He has recruited 5000 workshop workers in the city, equipped with armor and weapons shields to fill the vacancy left by casualties.

However, these "soldiers" are only a sufficient number. They are good for nothing except morale. They can't even do basic square array and offensive and defensive combat; They fought with a cavity of blood, almost blocking the enemy's attack road with their own bodies.

All Loren can do is give the final order to the castle, let them see the situation, realize that the enemy has signs of retreat, and immediately withdraw the whole army from the fortress.

The fall of the castle has entered the countdown.

On the fourteenth day, the regiment commander who still did not get any support could only evacuate from the castle with only two or three hundred troops, and destroyed the gate so that the enemy could not pursue him.

But as Loren expected - after the battle went on to this stage and paid quite heavy losses, the enemy probably didn't want to capture the fortress.

No way, the plan can't keep up with the change; He killed the chief Eugen of the imperial court successively and captured the chief adjutant alive. The elite warriors of the imperial court of the imperial court suffered heavy casualties in this castle, which has greatly exceeded the acceptance range of the enemy.

Sure enough, while the troops besieging the castle retreated, countless beams of light fell from the castle like a rain of fire.

Flames and roaring explosions are like hell!

The sparks of explosion kept rising over the ancient castle. In the thick smoke and dazzling light, there were constant wails from the walls and towers; The shadow of the ancient castle could not be seen in the diffuse smoke.

On the 15th day of the offensive and defensive war, the castle fell!

………………………………………

Boom!!!!

The huge roar came from the direction of eboden port, and even the uncontrollable vibration could be clearly felt on the elf flagship far away from the coast.

The heavy sea chain is like an iron dragon. After a cry, it sinks to the bottom of the sea and blows up large waves in front of the coast; The rolled up water curtain slapped heavily on the shore and on the deck of the warship. Several warships of the vanguard were even hit by the waves and floated backward.

If not the whole Elven fleet has anchored, the collision of warships alone can cause heavy losses to one-fifth of the fleet!

At the other end, the high tower on the circular fortress, which was dragged by the chain, also collapsed - half of the tower, together with the top, was completely fragmented and turned into countless boulders and rubble from the sky. The elf army under the tower had no time to dodge, and turned into powder with the dust and rubble in the roar.

No bones.

"It's down! It's down! It's finally successful!"

The bright and sunny voice of the big boy sounded on the deck of the elf flagship. The cheering elf little prince held the single telescope in his hand and danced in front of the rudder: "for fifteen days, I finally took off this annoying chain!"

"Congratulations, your highness rodria!"

In front of the deck, headed by Anson ZAD, the chief Wizard of the imperial court, a group of Elven warriors immediately knelt down on one knee and said with neat compliments: "eboden city is already in your Highness's bag!"

"What's in the bag, Hei hei..." with a meaningful smile, the little prince vomited a little.

It's far from enough.

Loren Turin... The Duke of Byrne won't let himself take it so easily. If he dares to give up the ancient castle on the other side of the river, it shows that there are backers and reinforcements.

Just as I expected

Do you want to wait any longer? Maybe he can surprise himself more?

The little prince, who had just rejoiced in his victory, suddenly fell into great hesitation.

Just then, a cold sea breeze suddenly brushed his cheek from behind. In the cold touch, it seemed to be mixed with some condensed ice particles. Perhaps it became extremely stiff just because the sea breeze was too strong and too cold.

It's cold... It'll be bad for you to continue dragging on.

Anyway, if he doesn't even have the ability to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, it means he doesn't deserve his expectation... Die.

Well, just revenge Ogan and his adjutant.

Hesitation flashed from the corner of his mouth, and the little prince who became happy again clapped and jumped around the deck without image:

"Target the wall of the port of eboden, and the whole army will go out - let Loren Turin pay the price for the death of chief Lord Ogan!"

"For the glory of the eagle king!!!!!"
