It was already dark, and the lights in the city were brightly lit with white frost, shining like a bright pearl between the two mountains. However, the city was shrouded in a cold and miserable atmosphere. Many soldiers and people were sitting on the teeth on the side of the road.
Crying. What are they thinking about why they are fighting? If the capital is destined to be unable to be defended, is there any point in the war?
Trucks hauling wood and bricks and stones in the city are constantly coming and going. These stones and wood are all dragged outside the city to reinforce the fortifications. More people don’t have time to consider whether this makes sense. After thinking about it,
What, so what if they can't understand? They are just soldiers and security officers. Thinking too much will only cause trouble, because they have no way to refuse to defend the city. This is their home, with parents and family members they cannot move away from.
There are constantly fleeing soldiers outside the city. Wounded soldiers are pouring into the city. There are also a small number of people coming down from the city. The streets are already full of people, some with tents and some without tents. In fact, there are many people entering the city open like this.
The risk is that you don’t know whether there are enemy spies among the people coming in. This is a hidden danger. But Her Majesty the Queen cannot refuse them entry into the city, which will only cause greater moral unrest in the military. If the capital cannot protect them, they will
Why defend the capital? For the queen, this is the last country she can rely on, and the soldiers and people here are also the last people she can rely on.
In the royal conference room, many people were quarreling. Fortunately for the queen, many of the generals stationed in Baishuang Lower City had returned. They did not abandon the city or her. Moreover, three people from the Storm Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom had returned.
Generals: Hushan, Serena, and Beta did not evacuate, especially Hushan and his Hushan camp, most of which were preserved. It seems that the strong always have stronger survivability in the face of disasters.
The officers each reported the number of remaining soldiers they had taken in. The situation was not optimistic. At present, no more than 30% of the soldiers had returned to the upper city. The others were either dead or escaped. The officers were at the focus of the quarrel.
There are two issues: "Whether it can withstand the attack of pirates" and "Whether it is necessary to abandon Hoarfrost City".
The former is almost unquestionable. The water attack that dropped from the sky during the day instantly wiped out the defenses they had painstakingly laid out. No matter how many layers of defense plans they had, they were ineffective in the face of absolute power. Now the soldiers and officers are
Morale and confidence have been greatly affected. The so-called defense of the royal city can only be empty talk.
The first issue is not controversial, and it seems that the second issue does not need to be controversial. Since it cannot be defended, giving up Frost City is the only option. But having said that, when the choice was placed in front of the Queen of Midgard, she
It was still difficult to make a decision. This was her country, which she inherited from her fathers and ancestors. She really did not want to give up the power here, and she also felt somewhat responsible for the people and the efforts of her ancestors to build this country. She tried to convince herself
He persisted with the generals, trying to find some positive energy from the generals' words, but there was none. Everything was presented in a pessimistic and negative form. Even General Lei Qie, whom he trusted most and relied on, also became
Not so confident.
The fourth black dragon came back, seriously injured, and even his dark dragon was seriously injured. Her Majesty the Queen quickly asked her royal medical team to diagnose and treat the fourth black dragon. White Frost Upper City has the Kingdom of Midgard
The best team of doctors and veterinarians, but they don't have much experience in treating dragon injuries, and most of the relevant experience just comes from books.
The seriousness of the injury to the fourth black dragon made the possibility of holding on to Baishuang Upper City even slimmer. Everyone was waiting for Her Majesty the Queen to issue the final retreat order. Serena’s advice after contacting the country was:
Abandoning the city and taking refuge in the Storm Country, Jean Reaches also felt that setting up a government in exile abroad was the best option, much better than surrender and complete destruction.
The Queen of Midgard expressed that she must consider the best, even though time is approaching, just like the dark clouds of dragon flames in the sky that have not dispersed in front of the city, bringing depression and fear to people. They captured Baishuang Lower City.
The 'pirates' may launch an attack on Baishuang Upper City at any time. They did not suffer any damage during the day's battle. It may just be the mud soaked by the water that slowed down their march. But it won't take long for the army to arrive.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning.
At 11 o'clock at night, in the cold sky, a few stars of Liao Liao can be seen outside the clouds of Longyan. Standing on the heights of Baishuang City, looking down at the foot of the mountain in the distance, outside the twists and turns of the mountain gorge, you can see the clusters of pictures moving together under the mountain.
The bright light shows that the enemy's army is mobilizing troops and making final preparations for the attack on Baishuang's upper city. From here to the lower city, the height difference is only more than a thousand meters, and the straight line in the air is only a few kilometers. If not
Blocked by steep mountains, there are numerous arrow towers and magic towers arranged on both sides of the mountain. The enemy's attack will be imminent. Although Baishuang's "city-wide screen net" in the upper city is stronger than the shield in the lower city.
defense ability, but she no longer has confidence in it.
Descend from the highest tower of the palace, which is also the "City-Wide Screen", and walk to several tall carvings on the Wall of Heroes under the palace city. These martyrs depicted here are the heroes who once created Midgar.
The founding ministers of the special country. The carvings on the heroic spirit wall have been stained and are not so clear and three-dimensional, but their moving expressions can still be traced back to the difficult and prosperous years in the early days of the founding of the country.
"You can't fit here."
A gentle voice with the charm of a mature man sounded from behind. It was the fourth black dragon. The magnetic voice of this man's harmonious voice was unforgettable. The Queen of Midgard turned around and saw the third black dragon.
There were four black dragons, and he still had wounds that had been bandaged for the first time. They were wounds caused by the dragon's flames and were difficult to heal for a while.
"Should I let it go?" This is the rhetorical question of the Queen of Midgard. She is not a gentle and weak woman. On the contrary, she is a woman with a strong and decisive personality like a man: "This is my country, I
The land, no one can tell me that I should give up."
The fourth black dragon turned around and was about to leave. He didn't need to say anything, and there were many things he couldn't say.
"Stop." Queen Midgard said, "I have not forgotten the rudeness you showed me during the day."
"So, do you want to pursue it now?" Si Hei likes to wear sunglasses, which makes it difficult for others to see the emotions in his eyes. At this time, he put on a new pair of dark green sunglasses that he just bought.
Queen Midgard said: "I want to hear your opinion."
The fourth black dragon knew what he was talking about, whether to stay or not, and where to go. This was the biggest focus in the entire Baishuang Upper City. He said behind his back: "For things like opinions, you can learn from the opinions of your generals."
I heard it from my mouth. And from the mouths of those foreign generals.”
Midgart said: "But I want to hear your opinion. Their opinions are all filled with too many colors and considerations of their own interests. Midgart is a small country and all it wants is to survive. I want to hear it."
