Chapter 519 Central War (1)

When Luen Joseph rolled over and sat up, it was raining outside the house.

Through the wall window, you can see the ferocious raindrops beating heavily on the painted window, and the glass is humming unbearably, as if it will break at any time. Farther away, the downpour is washing the earth, and as the hurricane swayed on the ground, Wave after wave of ripples, the accumulation of boundless dark clouds almost swallowed this small town.

This is a good rain, just to wash away the thick bloody smell in Vail, Luen Joseph thought. Because just two days ago, there was a bloody battle in this fortress.

Fort Vail is the bridgehead of the city-state of Kehor, an important military town used to defend the enemy from the east. As early as half a month ago, Luen had led the family army to arrive. From a military point of view, his commander did a good job. , Immediately after arriving, he ordered the army to act, hoard food and build fortifications. Luen Joseph is a careful guy. Build an iron wall upon arrival.

It's a pity that no matter how cautious he is, he can't guard against spies and ghosts. Someone in the Vaegir army has selfish motives and revealed the deployment of Luen Joseph's troops and defensive methods to the enemy.

Ta Shangmu's army wandered around Fort Vail for a week. Late at night three days ago, some powerful figures attacked the mage tower. More than 20 tower guards, mage apprentices and an archmage were all killed. Before the army commander arrived, the man shut down the defense chain and monitoring system of Fort Vail.

At the same time, Tashanmu's army began to move. They used strong acid to corrode the dragon-repellent thorns on the city wall, and used stakes and heavy hammers to open the gate of Val. Neighboring griffins and horned eagles landed on the top of the city, roaring The giant wolf and Lei Xi dragged their chariots into the square.

Dozens of fires ignited in the city, fireballs and cracking winds roared in the Vail keep, and the hastily organized Vaegir army threw canisters of pitch in response, but it was dwarfed by the magic cast by the enemy, like a fire in a burning house. Candle. Their orange-red radiance seemed so powerless in front of the emerald-colored elemental flames.

What's even more frightening is that Ta Shangmu invited a dragon, a red dragon! Although it is not old, it is still a real red dragon.

When Luen arrived at the scene, the giant dragon was howling on the moat of Vail. The dragon's majesty slapped on his bare face. The hot wind lifted the crimson cloak, and a thick and indestructible flame suddenly fell from the sky. It was more than ten meters wide and burst into flames. The bright light makes people have to cover their eyes, the flames are tearing on the city wall, dancing on the water surface, crackling and hissing, the sound drowns out all the screams, everything it passes is scorched earth, even the city wall is burned red and hot .

"Did you hear their screams? Luen Joseph, do you see them burning?" He heard Tashanmu's voice echoing around, "I know you are watching, watch carefully, all this is Your idea, it's all because of your stupid mistake!"

He knew Ta Shangmu's desire to win the battle,

At this time, the head of the Federation may be on horseback, wearing bright armor and a crown on his head-it is a silver crown, simple and uncrafted, modeled after the shape worn by the ancient kings.

Lu En listened to the cynicism of his opponent and witnessed the screams and wailing of the soldiers. Without saying a word, he finally turned and left indifferently. The city gate was doomed to fall, but it was not yet clear who would die.

At this time, the city was in chaos, only thick smoke and fire and scuffles could be seen, and it was impossible to distinguish the exact situation, but before that, Luen Joseph had already practiced it in his mind several times.

He whistled softly.

Not long after Tashanmu's army entered Verl, the garrison regained control of the Mage Tower, and the fortress' defense system was restarted. Rings emerged from the flaming water, dripping and dripping, some still stained with sticky garbage and mud, until the whole thing tensed up, locking up the city like a prisoner, and then At the same time, the mages of Vaegir sealed off the airspace.

Tashanmu let his army rush in, but never thought about getting out.

"The whole army and the whole team!"

After his return, Luen Joseph ordered his soldiers to get on their horses. In the eyes of outsiders, he was still a brave noble knight and not a necromancer. The slender white silk curtain covered the back half of the body, underneath was a heavy mail armor, and the high saddle was plated with mithril patterns.

The adjutant handed over the helmet and battle shield. The shield was forged from elemental black steel, with black as the base, decorated with the pattern of white bears embracing the world tree, and he shouted: "Tashanmu claims to be the lord of the city-state, but he broke our city door, to sack our city! Come with me, slaughter these bastards!"

Luen Joseph drew out his long sword, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the burning fire.

So a bloody battle started in Fortress Vail.

Boom boom boom...

Lu En's memories were interrupted. It was raining heavily outside, but the waiter knocked on the door of the study and reported to the guard commander to come see him.

"My lord," said the guard, with his long curly black hair wearing a steel half-helmets, and a gloomy expression all over his body, "the traitor has been caught, Pena Carrey, he stole a There is an imprinted teleportation scroll, which was tracked down by the archmage."

"The first traitor since the start of the war." Lu En said calmly, without even searching for the name of this person in his mind: "But it's not the last one. You deal with it, put your head on the gun, and hang it outside the barracks as an example to others .”

"But..." the garrison chief hesitated for a moment, "Kari has a knighthood and a small fiefdom, do you want to..."

"Do as I say." Lu En said firmly. He knew very well that the more merciful he was, the more traitors would spring up like mushrooms after rain, especially when the situation was unstable—even though he was very sure, Vaegir had not yet received any support from the north.

The garrison chief retreated, and Lu En continued to stare at the rain outside the window in a daze.

Back to two days ago, although the soldiers of Vaegia didn't know about it, Rune, as the commander, was prepared. In fact, the garrison position of each troop was very particular. From the map inside the fortress, it looks like a huge criss-cross net, waiting for the enemy to fall into it.

His plan was very successful. When the time came, Vaegir's army began to carve up the enemy like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. The city-state coalition army suffered casualties one after another. They realized that they were in a trap and tried to rush out of the city. However, they suffered setbacks one after another.

At this time, there was only one problem that Luen Joseph needed to think about, and that was how to deal with the giant dragon—that guy was squatting on the top of the city and breathing down fire.

No matter how brave a warrior is, seeing thousands of his comrades being engulfed by flames, he might feel panic. Moreover, it is the breath of a red dragon instead of an ordinary flame, and it burns very hot. Melts like grease.

Soon, he had an idea.

Yes, it is true that Vaegir's army alone can't deal with a terrible red dragon in his prime, but he doesn't need to try to kill the dragon, he just needs to lure the stupid monster away. Aiming, the spear can be moved, and even the magic cannon can be adjusted, but the red dragon has its own will. Tashanmu can invite it to the battlefield, but it cannot control it.

In the end, Luen Joseph only used one piece of legendary treasure to lure the terrible guy away. As one of the most greedy true dragons, the red dragon's desire for treasure is far greater than the desire for killing and war, and with the tower Shangmu's promise is even more unpopular in that guy's heart.

Still, the dragon would come back, Rune was sure.

"We won." Staring at the rain outside the window, he whispered to himself, after a pause, his tone became firm: "We can win."
