Chapter 643, Ogle-Hawk

PS: Sorry, addicted to ti, LGD come on! DOTA, BEST DOTA!

Just as the troops of Ryan and others retreated towards Ferdorf, the capital of the Wessen Land, the city of the White Tower was also declared to have fallen. This strongest stronghold in the south of the Wessen Land was once hoped that it would be able to hold on for enough time. So that Nur can completely improve the defense and allow the main force of Wessen Land who is stationed at the Black Fire Pass to return to Ferdorf in time.

In fact, the defenders did their best. They armed the city to the teeth. Three musket battalions and dozens of cannons were enough to withstand most of the enemy's onslaught. The Kurgans immediately came to a conclusion after a tentative attack , that is, a large number of troops are needed to conquer the city in a short period of time.

Tamu Khan can't tolerate this kind of result. He wants to race against time even compared to the empire. Few people know that the reason why Emperor Karl Franz was unable to withdraw from the Hawkland War for a long time is Tamu Khan Pray to the benevolent father Nurgle, the benevolent father Nurgle promised his beloved son Tamu Khan, and let the champion of Nurgle in the Brass Fortress, Deathblade Varnir, send troops to hold back the emperor's army.

But instead, Fat Grandpa Nurgle's patience is also running out. Nurgle's favor and expectations for Tamu Khan are increasing day by day, forcing Tamu Khan to speed up his march.

Facing the solid city defense, Tamu Khan recruited the Chaos Dwarves. If the covenant between him and the Chaos Dwarves cannot be effective at this time, then what is the value of this covenant?

"City wall?" Gray Prophet Drazhorth carefully inspected the defense of the entire city, and he let out a mocking laugh: "Why do I think this is a pile of sand piled up by children on the plain? We Will help you with this, but it's because of the covenant, I repeat, it's because of the covenant!"

In this way, the Chaos Dwarves dispatched powerful war machines, dozens of Chaos Dwarves mortars, mortars, lava cannons and Chaos Hell Cannons fired together. The tomahawk, which inspired the morale of the Kurgan army.

The siege began, and the war machine composed of black armor and brass rumbled into action. Under the colorful sky was the sound of the imperial army's terrified breathing. The ground trembled like a wounded animal, and the shattered human body and gun barrel were thrown into the air in the sky-high flames. Waves of fear came one after another. With the increase in the power of the devil, the artillery fire of the Chaos Dwarves was much more powerful than the cannons of the White Tower City. Soon, after the artillery battle, the entire city walls of the White Tower City and Towers exploded and collapsed one after another under the attack of Chaos Dwarf siege weapons, and the defenders were drowned in hellfire.

Immediately afterwards, Daogan's cavalry army and Tamu Khan's rotten knights began to charge. They entered the city along the gaps in the city wall and the shattered city gates. The battle of the cavalry was simple and simple. Cruel, the number of cavalry in the empire cannot be compared with the number of Kurgan cavalry,

They were immediately submerged in the torrent of the Chaos army. The militiamen of the empire were terrified, and their morale collapsed. The musketeers and imperial soldiers among them were smashed to death and then swallowed.

The war was soon over, and the City of the White Tower was finally set ablaze.

Satisfied with this victory, Tamu Khan immediately ordered the march to continue, attacking Ferdorf at once, followed by Nur.

"Nur! Ludwig's city! Will fall!"

On the third day after the fall of the City of the White Tower, Ryan and others also retreated to Ferdorf.

The city gate of Ferdorf opened, and the residents here are gradually evacuating. There are not many remaining residents, and the streets are very empty. However, under Emilia's strict orders, supplies have been prepared in the city. , The exhausted cavalry entered the city one after another to settle down, but the footsteps of the Chaos army followed closely behind them, rolling towards Ferdorf.

"We can only rest in this city for two days at most, and then we must return to Nur immediately." Ryan turned off his horse, and then hugged his wife Suria off the horse: "In no more than five days, the army of chaos will arrive in Fer Dove."

"I hope our efforts will be useful." Surya's face was very tired. The female knight is now at the legendary middle-level strength, which is not enough to fully control her divine attire for the time being. She felt her body go limp as soon as she landed. , leaning on her husband's arms and panting gently.

After severely injuring the Chaos Dwarf transport team, Ryan and others launched the Gunter Fort ambush and defeated the Chaos Vanguard Army led by the Chaos Dragon Knight Auerbach-Drug Gut. After this battle, the pace of Tamu Khan's march Had to slow down, and Kelian's army reached its limit.

"Our efforts will be useful." Calad was very energetic. After dismounting his horse, he glanced at the city in a daze: "At least we have fulfilled our duty. We have saved tens of thousands of people."

"Ah, what a fun fight!" Black-hearted Lepp was also extremely tired. The mercenary baron was already in a state of embarrassment at this time. There were many gray marks on his bald head, which were sweat, wind and dust, and the sunshine of Wesson's collar. The strange shape formed below.

The Old Guard suffered a great loss this time as well. The newly formed Old Guard army only has a size of more than 800 people, which is still more than 700 people away from Ryan's ideal of more than 1,500 people. , more than a hundred old guards fell forever on the land of Wessen Territory.

Without sacrifice, there is no victory. This is the most important truth Landuin taught Ryan. He regrets this, but he does not regret it.

It was already noon when they arrived in Ferdorf, Ryan arranged for everyone to rest, and he and Suria entered Ferdorf's castle room to rest.

It was already evening after a short rest. At this time, Ryan and Suria got the news that the old Marquis Ogle Hawke of Wessen led an army of about 5,000 people to Ferdorf.

Right in the castle lobby, Ryan met the Marquis of Ogle Hawke.

The old Marquis was very old, his hair was gray, because he hurried back from the Black Fire Pass, his body smelled of sourness and sweat, his eyes were sunken, and his appearance was haggard.

Ryan, Suria, Callard and others came to the castle hall. Ogle Hawke saw them coming in, but he didn't stand up from his seat. He looked tired and just raised his hand to signal A younger, middle-aged man came up to greet everyone: "This is my son, Mario Hawke."

"Hello, Your Excellency Ryan, Mrs. Suria, and Your Excellency Karard." This is a mature knight who looks about 30 years old. He has long brown hair and is slightly fat, but his body is full of muscles. Seeing Ryan and the others appear, he puffed up his chest a little bit bravely, clenched the long sword around his waist, and greeted Ryan and the others in a neither humble nor humble manner.

Callard was a little strange, the Holy Grail Knight thought what kind of routine this was, the old marquis actually came up and neither introduced himself nor asked about the battle situation, but introduced his son?

Turning his head to look at Ryan and Suria, he found that Ryan didn't seem in a hurry at all. He greeted the old Marquis' son Mario very gently, and Suria's eyes looking at the old Marquis became very complicated. It was a look of regret and admiration.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ryan said to the old marquis: "Our blocking has slowed down the pace of the Chaos army, but they are still closely behind us, and within five days at most, the Chaos army will come to the city of Ferdorf. "

"...I see." Ogier's eyes are already cloudy, and his dark circles are very obvious due to the exhaustion of the long journey and lack of sleep: "I brought back ten thousand people from the Black Fire Pass, and there are still five Thousands of people will stay there for now."

"Didn't you bring them all back?" Ryan raised his glass and looked at the old marquis: "At this time, you should bring them all back."

"Yes, I should." Ogle Hawke nodded, but shook his head again: "But I didn't."

"..." Ryan narrowed his eyes, he opened his mouth, and said nothing.

A strange atmosphere fell into the castle hall. Both sides seemed to have something to say, but they didn't speak. The old Marquis squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, while Ryan and the others could only remain silent.

Why did the old Marquis leave 5,000 people in Black Fire Pass? Why did he introduce his son to Ryan first? Why don't both sides speak?

Callard was full of question marks, so he had no choice but to look suspiciously at Pfitzman, the leader of the Knights of the Sun. Pfitzman just shook his head slightly and didn't speak.

After being bored for a while, Callard had to take the initiative to speak: "Your Excellency Hawke, Ferdorf belongs to you. Do you have any battle plan after taking over?"

"Battle plan?" Callard's words broke the silence in the room, and the old marquis said coldly, "What battle plan can I have? Or, why should I tell you my battle plan? Outsider?"

"We came from afar to help you!" Karad's chest was filled with anger and confusion, and he almost stood up: "At least you have to tell us, what should we do next?"

"...You guys retreat tomorrow to Nur, this is my battle plan." The old marquis raised his head and stared at Karard: "This is what you want to know, the battle plan, I will tell you now , Holy Grail Knight, are you satisfied?"

"Aren't you going to retreat to Nur with us?" Ryan spoke, and he took out a letter.

This letter was written by Emilia herself. The Countess of the Empire told the old Marquis that Ferdorf would not be able to defend it. Even if this city is the capital of Wessenland, it is still impossible to stop the Chaos army. She demanded that the Marquis Ogier return to Nur immediately. Only by returning to Nur and relying on Nur's city defense, can this war have a chance of winning.

Ogier took the letter and looked at it. He said he knew: "In this way, you will cover the evacuation of the last group of refugees from Ferdorf tomorrow, and I will leave last."

"good."

……… I am the dividing line that you go first………

On the second day, Ryan and others, who had rested all night, escorted the last batch of refugees to retreat. Thousands of Ferdorf refugees passed the Ferdorf Bridge Fortress. In late autumn, the wide waters of the Wessen River were rushing Not only that, but the river was muddy and foamy from the Chaos corruption from above.

The refugees looked sad. They passed the bridge slowly. The long line stretched for several kilometers. Ryan and others stood at the head of the bridge and watched the refugee tide retreat.

"This is the last wave of refugees." Pfitzman, the head of the Knights of the Sun, stretched out his hand to hold the sword at his waist, and looked in the direction of Nuer: "I guess, Nuer is already crowded."

"They lost everything, but at least they kept their lives." Ryan nodded, and he looked at the gloomy autumn sky: "If you save people and lose land, everyone will survive, and if you lose your land, you will lose everyone. There is hope."

The refugee team was moving slowly, and Ryan and the others waited patiently. From morning to noon, the last group of refugees disappeared on the other side of the Ferdorf Bridge in the direction of Nuer, and then there were five thousand people from Wessenland. With more troops, they will go to Nur to establish a new line of defense beneath the walls of that great city.

"Let's retreat too." Black-hearted Rep came up on his horse. Seeing that the refugees had finally evacuated, the mercenary baron said impatiently, "Your Excellency Ryan, the refugees are all gone!"

"Well." Ryan led more than 3,000 troops and passed the bridge one after another.

The old Marquis of Wesson collar kept a cold face the whole time. He rode on the horse and said to his son: "Mario, you also go there and send Duke Ryan off for me. Tell them, I represent all the Wesson collars. People, the former Thorlanders, the residents of Ferdorf and our family of the Marquess of Hawke, are forever grateful for his dedication and help."

"Yes!" Ogier's son, Mario, did not doubt that he had it. He rode his horse and rushed across the bridge. He had just rushed to Ryan's side, and before he could speak, the sound of a heavy cannon suddenly sounded behind him.

"boom!"

The bridge with a history of hundreds of years was completely blown apart under the power of the artillery, and the bridge fragments fell into the water, submerged in the water of the Wesson River, and splashed into pieces.

"Father?" Mario turned around incredulously, and shouted across the swift current of the Wesson River, "Father! Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, Mario." The expression on the old marquis's face was still cold, and he closed his eyes in pain: "Give my regards to Your Excellency the Countess."

Ryan and the others had already understood what Ogier was going to do. Suria sighed softly and rode to Ryan's side: "This is his choice."

"No! Father!" Mario was so anxious that he rode his horse back and forth on the cliff edge of the broken bridge: "Come here quickly! This is an order from Your Majesty the Countess. You are the Marquis of Wessonland, and Nuer can't do without you!"

"From today onwards, you are the Marquis of Wessonland, Mario." The old Marquis Ogier said coldly at the other end: "Mario, this is the last lesson I will teach you as a father."

"Defending the country is the bounden duty of our soldiers. Ferdorf is the land where I was born and raised. I will never give up this city and this land."

"Tell Your Majesty the Countess, I, Ogle Hawke, will do my duty faithfully and stand the last post for myself, the Countess, and the Empire. The future belongs to you, Mario!" The old Marquis sighed softly : "My son, I am the setting sun that will set, and you will be the rising sun tomorrow. The reconstruction of Ferdorf needs you, and Nur needs you."

"No..." The old marquis's son couldn't accept this fact, and tears flowed down his cheeks: "No! Father, if this is the case, I would rather die with you!"

"What do you look like?! What do you look like?" the old marquis sternly shouted, "Mario, what are those two lines of tears? You are over thirty years old, and you think you can defeat the enemy with tears." Chaos!"

The marquis' son-in-law was stunned, he looked at his father, couldn't stop crying, he could only desperately wipe away the tears with his hands, he shouted with the loudest voice in his life: "I understand, father! I wish you victory! May Charlemagne bless you!"

Callard looked at this scene, as if he saw his own yesterday.

The Grand Knight of the Holy Grail knew that the son of the marquis in front of him had really grown up from today.

Just like when I lost Jules.

"May Charlemagne bless you too, my son! Go!" Ogier took a deep look at his son for the last time, then turned around, turned and left with his personal guards, and disappeared on the other side of the bridge.

In this way, three days later, Ferdorf ushered in Tamu Khan and his chaotic army. The old Marquis Ogier of Wessen led five thousand defenders to resist desperately until the entire army was killed, and he himself died in battle. at the gate of the castle.

The efforts of Ogier and his Ferdorf defenders won the most precious time for Nur, and their tenacity also brought huge losses to the Chaos army. Tamu Khan had to stay in Ferdorf , to rest his battered army and give the Chaos Dwarves enough time to repair their war machines.

When he was about to march again, Nur, one of the greatest cities in the old world, the city belonging to the savior Ludwig, the southern important city of the empire, had already made all preparations for this war The return of Ryan and others brought all the information about the evil war machines of the Chaos army and the Chaos wizards. The Nur War Council formulated a very detailed battle plan for this.
