Four hundred and twentieth chapters of the decisive battle (twelve)
Chapter 424: The Final Battle (12)
In the past two days, the orcs have suddenly stepped up their offensive, pressing forward with all their strength every time, rushing towards Nedel's city wall desperately.
Although the trebuchets in Nidel City showed their power and destroyed the orcs' trebuchets and ballistae, and the pirates also fled far away, the orcs outside Nidel City were not simple either. They tried various methods to defeat the Orcs.
Stop storming Nidel's walls.
They even dismantled several transport ships and built several oversized ladders. Although two of them were destroyed by trebuchets, the manufacturing method is simple, as long as there is enough wood, and there will be new ladders the next day.
Now under the city.
The orcs also knew that time was running out. Every time they attacked, the entire army pressed forward, and the defenders of Nidel City were under great pressure.
Because there were too few regular troops, the militiamen had no one to command and were even in disarray. Under the desperate tactics of the orcs, there were several crises on the city wall. Each time, the mages and the imperial guards pushed back.
.
Priests are good at dealing with black magicians, but in a life-and-death battle like this, their ability to exert influence is limited.
The black magicians were ambushed in the mage battle in Nidel City. After losing a large part of them, they no longer dared to approach Nidel's city wall. They only cast spells at a far distance and resurrected those who were killed.
Half-orc.
After several crises in the war, Catherine and Adele could not sit still in the Governor's Palace and went to the front line in person. General Philip also believed that the front line was dangerous, and Catherine and Adele were both there, and they led the Praetorian Guards to the city wall.
.
There was only a small squad of guards left in the Governor's Palace who took turns taking turns after the battle, as well as more than fifty guards from Catherine and Leo.
When the fire broke out in the city, Leo was bored and was ordered by Melina to stay in the study room in the backyard and do his homework.
Several fires broke out in the city, and a commotion broke out in the governor's palace. The soldiers in the palace, the officials working in the middle courtyard, and the servants in the palace were all noisy.
Leo chewed two pencils and was thinking about a way to escape. When he heard the noise outside, he naturally couldn't hold it in anymore.
At that time, he threw away the pen, jumped up and said, "Something happened outside. I'll go out and take a look."
Then she slipped out with a squeak. Although Melina had quick eyes and quick hands, she just grabbed the corner of Leo's clothes and he escaped easily.
Milena had no choice but to stomp her feet, pouted and shouted: "Leo, stop here."
Then he ran out chasing Leo,
Leo and Melina ran out of the backyard. Along the way, they heard people in the mansion shouting in panic: "The city is on fire, it's on fire."
Leo jumped forward excitedly, and Melina shouted loudly from behind: "Leo, wait for me."
Leo turned around and looked at Milena, who was running with her skirt up. He curled his lips, then turned back and pulled Milena towards the front yard.
Following the crowd, they ran to the top of the wall in the front yard of the Governor's Palace. The guards and guards were all gathered here at the moment. Leo shouted: "What's going on? What's going on? Let me pass."
Leading Milena, she squeezed through the crowd and came to the city wall. Milena exclaimed, covered her mouth and stared at the city with wide eyes. Leo scratched his head and said in confusion: "How could this happen? Orcs are fighting.
Coming in?"
I saw thick smoke rising from everywhere in Naider City, firelight dancing not far away, and the sound of killing from the distant city wall.
Carter shook his head and said: "It's not like the orcs came in. The eldest lady didn't send any news. It looks like someone was setting fire to the city to cause chaos."
When Leo heard this, he exploded. He rolled up his sleeves, clenched his chubby little fists and shouted: "Who? Who dares to be so bold? At this time, we are trying to break up the wall. My sister is unable to get away. You two
Follow me and we will catch them."
As Leo turned around and was about to rush down, Carter hugged Leo and said urgently: "Your Highness, it's dangerous outside. You can't go out."
Milena also tightened her grip on Leo's arm, and with a stern face, she yelled fiercely: "Don't go out. If you dare to disobey me, I won't play with you for half a year."
"Ah?" Leo was shocked all of a sudden. He lowered his head and muttered: "If you don't want to go, I won't go. Is it worth being so cruel?"
Milena then smiled, stroked Leo's forehead with her little hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't this good?"
Carter watched Leo being eaten to death by Milena at a young age. It seemed that he would be pinched by this pretty little girl in his life. Carter could only sympathize secretly in his heart.
Leo, like Lorraine, can only be a strict wife in this life.
"But we can't just ignore it," Leo said anxiously: "Boss and I have worked hard for so long to get to where we are today. If the fire continues, half of the city will be gone, and these people will lose their houses.
Whose money am I going to make, and our tax dollars won’t be spent on reconstruction.”
The people on the city wall were shocked by Leo's words with a strong sense of ownership. Carter slapped his forehead and thought to himself, is such a responsible Leo good or bad?
Leo turned around and pointed at the captain of the Imperial Guard, and said: "Take your people with you, and if you see anyone setting fire to the city, shoot them without mercy."
The captain of the Guards gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then said loudly: "Yes. Brothers, follow me."
Then he pressed the long sword on his waist and ran quickly down the city wall. A few minutes later, this small group of guards rushed out of the governor's palace on horseback and galloped towards the place where the fire was most intense.
Carter looked at the city worriedly and said to Leo: "Your Highness, you'd better take Miss Milena back. It's noisy here."
Leo waved his hand, unwilling to leave here. Melina was also worried about the situation in the city. She held Leo's hand and looked at the place where the fire broke out in the city with a sullen face.
Carter shrugged helplessly, leaned out from the city wall, and shouted to several guards guarding the door: "Close the door."
The guard guarding the gate replied "Okay", turned around and walked out.
Suddenly, two burning carriages turned the corner and rushed towards the gate of the Governor's Palace.
Carter was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "No!"
He shouted at the guards below: "Stop them."
The sound of the carriage racing also alerted the guards at the gate. They turned around and saw two fiercely burning fires rushing towards them.
The driver on the carriage rolled over and rolled out of the carriage not far from the gate. He rolled around on the ground a few times, then jumped up, drew his weapon and rushed towards the gate.
Then a large group of armed men rushed out from the corner of the street. They held up their weapons and, without speaking or shouting, kept their heads down and charged towards the door.
The horse pulling the cart became crazy, dragging flames straight into the gate. The Guards soldiers were forced to dodge to both sides, and several armed men rushed towards them.
The Guards soldiers had been trained for a long time and shouted: "Stop them."
Then he raised his sword, blocked the door, and fought with the armed men who rushed up.
Carter's expression changed drastically, he held Leo and Melina in his arms, and shouted: "Someone is attacking, protect me, and retreat to the backyard."
After speaking, he jumped down the stairs and rushed down. The other guards immediately woke up, drew their weapons and rushed down after Kalt.
Only then did the officials and servants on the city wall understand what had happened, and they suddenly became a mess. The maids screamed and the officials squeezed towards the stairs in the crowd.
A guard mage who was guarding the courtyard flew a series of fireballs towards the running carriage. The fireball hit the horse pulling the carriage and exploded. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, and the burning carriage also fell to the ground, exploding.
After a burst of sparks, it burned violently in the front yard of the Governor's Palace.
Following a large group of armed men, they rushed to the door and instantly overwhelmed several guardsmen guarding the door. The leader then shouted: "Kill, catch that kid, and you will have glory and wealth for the rest of your life."
Carter, with Leo and Melina in his arms, ran wildly toward the back of the house, while turning back and shouting to the guards: "Stop them."
The guards shouted "yes" and rushed to fight the armed men who rushed in. The two groups met behind the fire and started fighting with a roar.
While the guards were blocking the way of the armed men, the officials and servants who were on the wall just now ran to the back house in panic.
After stopping the running carriage, the mage of the Imperial Guard quickly joined the guards. Then he raised his staff and chanted a mantra. A wall of fire rose from the feet of the armed men, and several armed men on the flames were instantly ignited.
, howling miserably and falling to the ground rolling around.
The wall of fire divided the armed men who came in into two groups, the front and the back.
These guards are the best among the best. They almost never disarm except when sleeping. Although these armed men who rushed in were fierce, they were no match for the guards. As soon as they came into contact with the armed men in the front row, they were stabbed to the ground by the guards.
But the armed men behind did not hesitate to step over the corpses on the ground, rush forward and fight with the guards.
After the mage of the Imperial Guard added another wall of fire, he raised his hand and emitted a flash of lightning. The lightning shot into the crowd of armed men, and immediately several more people fell to the ground screaming and covered in burning smoke.
Behind the crowd fighting with the guards, a black figure didn't care about the powerful flames. He grabbed a white staff in one hand and walked straight over the flames.
Wherever the man in black went, the flames actively avoided the surroundings, and even the black robe on his body did not waver in the heat wave.
Neither the guards nor the mage noticed the man in black behind the crowd. The man in black grabbed the staff in his hand, followed by a black shadow flying out from in front of him and shooting directly at the mage of the Imperial Guard.
Seeing the black shadow flying towards him, the mage was shocked. Caught off guard, the mage could only use all his strength to dodge to the side.
The black shadow hit the mage on the shoulder, and the mage screamed and fell to his knees. A stream of gray smoke rose from the place where the mage was hit, followed by a strong rancid smell.
The Guards mage gritted his teeth and said: "Dark Mage~! Retreat, retreat quickly."
Catherine and Leo's guards know the mages very well, because they also need to guard against assassination by mages, and the guards have all been trained in tactics to deal with mages.
They knew that these dark mages who specialized in murderous magic could not resist forcefully. In addition, the armed men bypassed the wall of fire and came from both sides to kill them. One of the guards said "withdraw".
The guards picked up the mage on the ground and beat him back toward the house.
Carter carried Leo and Melina and ran back to the residence in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. He put Leo and Melina on the ground and said: "Your Highness, Miss, quickly take the secret passage to the venture capital company."
As he spoke, Carter dragged a long table in the hall toward the door.
Leo jumped on his feet and shouted: "This is my home, no one can drive me away from my home."
After the incident just now, especially the bloody battle in front of her, Melina's little face turned pale and her little hands were clenched tightly.
After listening to Carter's words, Melina hugged Leo tightly and said as calmly as possible: "Leo, be obedient, be obedient, okay? I will listen to you in everything after this incident, okay, let's go."
Leo shook his head firmly, pointed to the door, and said: "There are still so many people who have not escaped. As a royal family, I cannot abandon my people, regardless of their life or death."
Thinking about the royal education that Leo had received from Grand Duke Julius and Catherine, Carter almost burst into tears and said anxiously: "Your Highness..."
Leo waved his little hand, turned around and ran upstairs with Melina, saying as he ran: "Sister Hilmeria is still resting up there, we need to wake her up. Let our people come in and guard the house.
, my old sister will arrive soon."
Carter wanted to say something else, but Leo had already run upstairs.
Following the officials who worked and lived in the Governor's Palace, the servants rushed into the backyard with shouts. Carter waved to them and called: "Come in, come in."
These people rushed into the Governor's Palace, pushing and shoving, surrounding Carter and shouting: "They killed someone, what should we do?"
Carter yelled with all his strength: "Quiet, everyone."
Like a lion's roar, everyone in the hall fell silent and looked at Carter blankly.
Carter pointed his sword at the crowd and shouted: "Don't be stunned. If you want to survive, bring tables and cabinets and block the windows first. You..."
Carter pointed at an official and said: "Take two people to the roof to light a fire, beacon fire, beacon fire, do you understand?"
The official said hurriedly: "I understand... I understand."
Then he grabbed the person next to him and ran upstairs quickly.
These men, women, and children immediately took action, running around the house, dragging all movable furniture and piling it in front of the window.
At this moment, the guards who were resisting the enemy were running quickly towards the back house, followed by a black mass of armed men.
Blood dripped down the guard mage's left arm to the ground. Seeing that the door of Lorraine's residence was right in front of him, the mage gritted his teeth, put another wall of fire behind him, and then simply fainted.
The guards and the mage took this opportunity to rush into the room. Carter closed the door, and several people pushed the table against the door.
The guard put the mage on the ground and said anxiously: "There is... there is a dark mage."
Carter took a breath of air.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, nothing will happen." A soft voice came. Hilmeria held the railing with one hand and Melina with the other, and slowly walked down the stairs.
Hilmeria's voice was like a gentle breeze, and the panicked people in the hall immediately calmed down a lot.
Kalt looked at Hilmeria's tired and weak look and said anxiously: "Bishop, you haven't recovered yet, so you should take His Highness and Miss Melina and leave quickly."
Hilmeria looked outside and shook her head, saying, "It's too late. You take the people here and leave first. I'll hold them off for a while."
Leo ran downstairs in a gust of wind at this moment, with two short guns on his waist, and two long guns and a large ammunition bag in his arms.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me fuck you guys." Leo shouted loudly.
Looking at Leo's appearance, Carter couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Come with a few people to escort His Highness and the young lady."
Leo picked up a long gun, cocked the hammer, and said, "I don't."
At this time, there was a "boom", and the door suddenly exploded, sawdust flying, and several guards at the door were knocked to the ground by the shock wave, with a layer of broken wood chips falling on their bodies.
Through the door that had a hole blown out, I saw the man in black slowly putting down his staff.
The man in black took off the hood on his head, revealing a slender, gloomy face. His face was extremely white, just like the legendary vampire. At first glance, it was the result of little exposure to sunlight.
He glanced at the frightened or frightened people in the room, and finally fixed his eyes on Leo, who was holding a musket and eager to try. His slender eyes suddenly widened, shooting out a ray of light, and finally showed a satisfied smile.
The sharp laughter of the man in black grew louder and louder, and finally he threw his head up and laughed loudly, the sound as harsh as the cry of a night owl.
He glared at Leo and said: "Finally let me wait for this day and introduce myself first. My surname is Pula, the Avenger Pula. Today I want to seek justice for those who harmed my family sixty years ago."
Leo and Carter looked at each other and asked each other: "Have you ever heard of this guy?"
"No, that idiot who jumped out?"
Leo put his spear on his shoulder, aimed at Pula, and said: "Hey, do you think your Brother Chun is still Sister Feng? Just tell us your name and we will know. Go to hell."
As he said that, he pulled the trigger, and there was a loud "bang" sound. Leo shook back, and white smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun.
Pula, the man in black opposite him, groaned, leaned his upper body back, took two steps back, and then stood up again.
Pula shook his clothes, glanced at the broken lead that fell in front of him, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "You will all die today. Go ahead, except that little boy, kill them all."
Pula then raised his staff and shot a dark green ball of light into the hall. The armed men behind him shouted "kill" and rushed towards the door.
Hilmeria clasped her hands in front of her chest and recited two syllables in a low voice. A white barrier spread out at the door, blocking Pula's spell.
Leo threw the long gun in his hand to Milena, shouted "load it for me", then picked up the other one and shot the armed man who rushed to the door, and the other party screamed "Ah"
Fell to the ground.
Carter also shouted "Come up" and led the guards to block the door.
At this time, a low "boom, boom, boom" sound came. It was not high but extremely clear. The ground also shook slightly. Looking at the jingling and vibrating crystal chandelier above their heads, everyone had only one thought in their minds.
