Chapter 75: The Last Minute
"Iss army retreats! Iss army retreats!" A cheer broke out from the city tower, and all the Baissus soldiers and civilians who participated in defending the city waved all kinds of weapons in their hands, shouting happily, laughing, and crying.
"Three Young Master, Is' army retreated, we're victorious!" Clyde hugged Roger and said loudly in ecstasy, completely forgetting that Roger was seriously injured at this moment.
Roger nodded slightly, showing a reluctant smile. He looked at the corpses piled up and down the city walls and sighed. At this time, he felt a sharp pain coming, and he could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground and then fell into a coma.
"Sir Kate, how is Mr. Roger?" The door of Roger's bedroom was filled with officers of all levels who came to visit. Clyde, Carle, Hanks and others were standing in front.
"Young Master is seriously injured and loses too much blood. Fortunately, the arrow was slightly off and did not shoot the center. But even so, if it weren't for his physique far stronger than ordinary people, I guess he would have basically died this time. To be honest, I have never seen any magician with such a strong body as him. Even among intermediate warriors, I'm not often seen." Kate sighed.
"Mr. Kate, has that third young master woke up?" Carly and Clyde asked in unison. They watched Roger grow up since childhood, and their feelings for Roger are the deepest among the group.
"I haven't woken up yet, but basically no life is in danger. The pastor said they were surprised that Mr. Roger could still save his life in this situation. However, according to their estimates, Mr. Roger will take at least three days to wake up." Kate sighed.
At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly admire Roger for his foresight. Before evacuating into the City Lord's Mansion, Roger begged Bishop Muller to send him several priests to retreat into the City Lord's Mansion.
Muller originally did not want to agree, but he couldn't help but procrastinating. Considering that Roger's sister Natasha was already a disciple of the pope and Roger gave him a large number of works of art, he reluctantly agreed to send two priests to retreat to the lord's mansion with Roger, but asked not to go up to the city tower to fight, nor to let the Is army discover it, and could not be extended. He could only save the officer and Roger's family and friends. As a result, he did not expect that the first target of the two priests was Roger himself.
"Kate, what should we do now? I guess the Isles army will launch a fierce attack tomorrow. The young master is unconscious again. I am afraid..." Hawking said with a dismay.
"At that time, we can only fight to the death. The battle has reached this point. The Isles army suffered so many casualties. I guess even if we surrender now, Richard would not agree." Kate said with a wry smile.
******************************************************************
On the third day, the Isles army launched another attack under the leadership of Mike. This time they were well prepared. All the soldiers participating in the attack were equipped with helmets and shields, which greatly reduced their casualties during the siege.
"Kill! Brothers, you're only one last step away from victory. The Legion Commander has announced that as long as you can break through this castle today, you can ignore military discipline for three days!" Mike said loudly to his soldiers.
After seeing the bravery of Roger and Baissus's military and civilians, Richard was finally shocked. At the suggestion of several former Flame Legion officers, he issued this order similar to the massacre of the city. He grasped the darkness of human nature: Imagine what a man lives in the world for? Isn't it just for money and sex? When the soldiers of the Ice army broke through the city, they could ignore military discipline and rob and rape women. They immediately became very motivated, and they howled and set up a ladder and climbed up the city wall.
At this time, the situation in Hetante City was already very critical. Roger was unconscious, which made many Baissus soldiers and civilians feel as if they had lost their backbone. They were a little unrestrained when fighting and their morale was greatly depressed. However, after several days of baptism of iron and blood, they were still fighting to the death under the command of Kate, Hawking, Clyde and Carter.
However, the enemy was far superior to them in terms of individual soldiers, but they had been defeated by Roger's strategy, which led to a sharp drop in morale, and they could not capture it again and again. Now the Is army saw that Roger, the evil star they feared the most, had disappeared. And our side issued an order to ignore military discipline and became much more brave in combat.
Seeing that more and more enemies climbing up the city, Dean was already at a disadvantage in the battle. He immediately shouted loudly and slashed at an IS soldier in front of him with a knife.
With a "default" sound, the knife he cut with all his might was actually held back. In front of him was a general like an Ice. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was at least an officer of the brigade commander level. He smiled grimly and raised his spear and stabbed Dean with a shot.
"Be careful!" At this time, a long sword was swung out, barely hitting the spear head of the spear that was stabbed out by Officer Is.
Dean looked back quickly and saw that a sword from Kale slashed out to save him. The spear head was slashed against his waist. As long as he stabbed him a few centimeters, he could make himself feel cold.
"Puff--" Dean immediately slashed his backhand and slashed straight to the officer's neck. The officer was so scared that he wanted to pull back his spear to get in, but it was too late to hurry...
"Ah--" The officer let out a wild cry, and his head flew out more than two meters away, landing directly under the wall, and blood spurted out from his neck, spraying Dean all over.
Dean's vest was sweating coldly at this time. If Carle hadn't taken action at the critical moment just now, he would probably be the one who was the corpse.
"Kale! Thank you!" Dean wanted to squeeze out a smile, but felt that his smile might be even worse than crying.
"No need to thank you. Everyone should do their best! Even if you die, you won't let the Isles live a better life!" Kale suddenly stood up and then slashed at another Isles soldier beside him.
The third day of the battle lasted for more than four hours. The defending party was in desperate situation, the city walls were completely lost, and the castle gate was also opened. The soldiers of the Isles were already chasing the civilians of Baissus in the castle. The screams of civilians when they died and the groan of pain when women were ravaged. However, fortunately, the soldiers of the Isles focused on the civilians. Kate, Hawking, Clyde and others were able to escape. They led the last dozens of soldiers to guard the door of Roger's bedroom, carrying out the final resistance...
"Sir, it seems that we will be able to conquer the Lord's Mansion this afternoon. The commander of the Jackson Division sent a messenger to report that they had attacked Roger's bedroom. Now there are less than fifty Baisus soldiers who are still resisting." Mike reported to Richard.
"Well, I finally won. It seems that it is still more reliable for our Flame Legion to conquer cities and land." Richard said, twisting his beard. A smile finally appeared on his face.
When Fist heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, but he had no choice. After all, Jackson put the straw that finally overwhelmed the elephant.
Just as Richard was tidying his collar and preparing to enter the castle, he suddenly heard a sound of "dede" horse hooves. A beautiful blue figure rode a fast horse, followed by a team of knights and ran to him.
