Chapter 58
It's night, twilight fortress.
"...Hurry! Drain the water from the warehouse!"
"...Where is the craftsman? Look at the city wall on the right. Just now Some soldiers reported that there was a collapse there!"
"...Don't let the food soak in the water!"
During the pouring rain, Galio was soaked and wiped. The rain on his face gave instructions to the soldiers one by one.
In the fortress, soldiers rushed to and fro, carrying food, cleaning up water in the warehouse, and repairing collapses. The entire fortress was chaotic.
This pouring rain in the evening has never stopped. The rain quickly spread over the fortress and accumulated a thick layer. If drainage is not carried out in time, all strategic materials will be reimbursed. .
After giving the order, Galio returned to the front of the main building.
He opened his mouth to report to Heath: "My lord, the water in the warehouse has been temporarily emptied, and the collapse on the city wall has also been repaired. Soldiers are now cleaning up the food."
Heath nodded: "Very good."
Gario frowns said: "But now the emptying is only temporarily improving. If the rain keeps falling like this, it will be flooded sooner or later."
paused, he said solemnly: "Moreover, the mountain walls on both sides of the city wall have shown signs of loosening. If you continue to go down there, the city wall may collapse."
Twilight Fortress this The generation belongs to the arid zone, and there is very little rain all year round. Therefore, when the fortress was built, the flood control here was basically not considered.
The mountain walls on both sides of the fortress have sparse vegetation and soft soil. A mine was excavated not long ago.
It’s okay to put it in normal times, but once it has gone through this kind of pouring rain, landslides are very likely to occur, and now the soil on both sides has already shown signs of loosening and slipping off.
The entire fortress is embedded in the mountain wall. Once a landslide occurs, it is basically the collapse of the city wall.
Without the protection of the city wall, fight the 10,000 necromantic troops head-on...
In short, now Heath and the others are in big trouble.
Gario said: "My lord, what should we do now?"
What should I do?
This scale is at least caused by the official spell scroll. What can I do as a novice?
Heath said solemnly: "Wait for me to think about it."
It's time to make a choice again.
At this time...
Is it a bugger? Still bugging? Still bugging?
...
This night, the soldiers who were exhausted to rescue the city wall basically spent the night in the water.
Nevertheless, something bad happened.
At dawn on the 2nd day, with a loud bang, the mountain on the cliff on the right side of the city wall slid down, and directly smashed the city wall on the right.
This time is equivalent to a flat battle with the enemy.
Standing in front of the collapsed city wall, every soldier's eyes are filled with despair.
Gario looked at the collapse in front of him and asked Heath again: "My lord, we are now..."
Knight's voice also seemed very dry this time.
Heath has a headache: "Wait for me to think about it."
This is not flashing, and he is also quite entangled now.
...
Heath hasn't made a decision here yet, and the soldiers under him have already submitted the answer sheet ahead of him.
When Knight went for a roll call at lunchtime, he suddenly found that a dozen soldiers were missing. Only after one party tracked down did he find out that these dozen soldiers had deserted and ran away.
There will be two when there is one. Although the Knights have tried their best to stop, threaten and lure, they still escaped dozens of soldiers before sunset.
Even the two witches sent by Tower of Shadows ran away.
Strictly speaking, it is understandable for these soldiers to run away. After all, their allegiance is to Earl Croya. Now that the Earl is dead, they naturally have no reason to continue to fight in the castle.
And the witches are even more so.
As long as the sorcerer has priority to evacuate on the human battlefield, he can leave at any time in case of danger, and Heath can't stop it.
The fortress originally had only 800 people. Nearly two hundred people were lost in the first two battles. Now nearly one hundred people have run away, leaving only five hundred people.
Looking at the enemy army, although there were a lot of losses in the front, most of them were undead, and there were basically no real living forces.
More than a thousand living troops, seven to eight thousand necromantic troops, and an advanced apprentice holding official-level wizard equipment, the difference in strength between the two sides is not generally large.
And Heath's reinforcements here will not arrive until sunset tomorrow at the earliest.
The enemy's third round attack must be tomorrow morning, regardless of whether the advanced apprentice can arrive in time or not, besides...
The protection of the city wall is missing, even if His arrival in time may not be able to determine the outcome.
So...
It seems that there is only one way left to retreat?
Standing on the tower, Heath rubbed the temple in pain.
Actually, he is not an insatiable person. He brushed two sets of attributes one after another. This trip was definitely full of innate talent, attribute, spell, sword technique, and all kinds of knowledge. How much has gone far beyond his expectations.
Even if it is now withdrawn, there is no talk of losing money.
As far as the tower is concerned, the tower is not unreasonable. So far, his performance has been impeccable. It is not to blame for such major intelligence errors. On his head.
He has been alone until now that this is an extraordinary performance, even if he turns around and leaves now, it is impossible to have any criticism.
It's just...
The wealth of the official-level wizard equipment and advanced apprentices is not to be mentioned.
While inheriting the military knowledge of Earl Croya, he naturally also born in the heart a professionalism from a military strategist.
An analogy is like a LOL.
For dozens of minutes of replenishing soldiers, fighting with the enemy back and forth, but now because of a mistake and lost the three towers and even the crystal, is that to continue struggling and wait for a group wave? Or just play GG?
After thinking for a long time, Heath finally made a decision--
Let's take another look!
...
It is night, twilight fortress.
It is two or three o'clock in the morning, and the heavy rain is still continuing.
The soldiers nestled on the tower. This is the only place where there is no stagnant water.
Everyone did not rest, but looked at the surrounding scenery silently and prayed for the coming tomorrow.
Early tomorrow morning, the decisive battle will come.
Are they fighting to death? surrender? Or flee?
Everyone feels that the future is uncertain, and I don’t know if I can still see the sunset tomorrow night.
"da da da!" At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded.
On the stairs over there, a silhouette came up. It was their commander, the young wizard.
"Master Wizard..."
"Master..."
Everyone got up and saluted them. On the previous battlefield, the master had already addressed them It proved his talent 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: "Are everyone here?"
A Knight stepped forward and said: "Yes, my lord, there are 528 warriors in all. , Everyone is here."
Heath nodded, he opened his mouth instructed: "Okay, put everyone together, no one is allowed to separate, even if you shit, at least three people must have been accompanied , I have something to announce in a moment."
He suspects that there is an enemy insider in the team.
Knight said: "Yes, my lord."
Shaoqing, the soldiers were gathered.
Everyone looked towards Heath one after another, wondering what the young commander will say next?
Is it surrender? Or retreat?
"da da da!" In the midst of everyone's doubts, another footstep sounded.
But I saw two Knights walking up with a big black pot.
There was thick smoke billowing from the black pot, and through the few moonlight it was vaguely visible that there was a dark green liquid inside, releasing a strong strange smell outside.
What is this?
The soldiers stretched their necks.
Heath said: "This is the potion I prepared. Everyone has a bowl and distribute it to the soldiers to drink."
"Yes."
The two Knights distributed the potion to the soldiers, and each drank a bowl.
"Hey? My eyes!"
"Isn't it night? How can I see so clearly?"
"It's incredible!"
The soldiers who drank the potion were amazed, because they discovered that they could suddenly maintain the same vision in the dark night as they did during the day.
Yes, this is the [Night Vision] potion that Heath bought on auction before.
Apart from this He also incorporated some materials that can increase courage and excitement.
Heath then instructed Knight instructed: "Get everything up."
"Yes."
Two Knights worthy of Heath's trust went down. After a while, he came up with two big sacks and poured all the contents on the floor. All of them were...
Armor...
Lake Duchy soldier's armor!
Some astute soldiers and Knight have realized what Heath wants to do, and they all stared wide-eyed.
At the same time, Heath spoke up, just as they expected.
Heath said: "I won't say any touching lines, but I will promise you a victory."
"After winning, you will have everything!"
Warcraft: Put it to death and live afterwards.
Since I can’t do it head-on tomorrow morning...
Let’s come to the sneak attack to determine the outcome!
