Chapter 456 Lightning Raid!
Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai had just gone out when he saw Qildi appearing in front of him.
"Master Duanmu, I have something very important to report to you."
"Oh? Qildi, what's the matter?"
Looking at the petite and cute girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also smiled and asked. He actually liked Qildi quite a bit. After all, in Duanmu Huai's view, she was a very innocent and lovely girl - well, very innocent.
Duanmuhuai is not stupid. Qildi expresses herself in front of him every day and looks very proactive. If Duanmuhuai doesn't know what she thinks, he is a fool. But just because Qildi acted so directly, Duanmu Huai found it more interesting. It's like a kitten begging to be fed in front of you every day. Her attitude and goal are very consistent. At least it's much better than those women in TV dramas who smile on the outside but are double-dealing behind the scenes.
In Duanmuhuai's view, Qildi is actually somewhat similar to Zhenji Ling in some aspects. They both hope to be recognized by others and feel the value of their existence. It's just that Zhenjiling is more confident in this aspect, so he is more proactive. Qildi, on the other hand, is relatively more tactful.
But no matter what, Qildi still has a sense of proportion. At least she knows how to present real materials instead of just talking nonsense.
Well, from this point of view, Duanmuhuai still has to praise Qildi for her ambition.
"That's right, I think there's something wrong with Miss Lucian."
"……………who?"
Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name.
"That's the slave girl we met in the square before."
"Ah, it's her... What's wrong with her?"
Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and then recalled who the woman Qildi was referring to.
"Yes, after that I conducted a comprehensive examination on her, and then I found that...her condition was very unusual."
"Unusual?"
"Yes, although she wears the clothes of the lower-class poor outside, the underwear inside is quite high-end and not something that ordinary girls can afford. Moreover, her figure and skin are also very good, which is completely inappropriate. Fitting for a lower-class poor man.”
After saying this, Qildi frowned.
"And I found that she doesn't know how to do chores at all. She can't do laundry, cooking or even making tea. Not only that, she also knows some recovery magic... Ordinary poor people can't learn magic, and they can do it in this kind of way. Those who learn magic at a young age are basically nobles.”
In addition, Kildi also said that Lucian's skin color was completely asymmetrical to her body. There are indeed many brown-skinned women in Hermann, but those women have been exposed to the wind and sun and tempered through labor. Therefore, it was impossible for a young lady like Lucian, who had never touched the sun with her fingers, to tan her skin. Therefore, she suspected that the other party might have used some kind of magic to cover up her true appearance.
After listening to Qildi's description, Duanmu Huai understood what she meant.
"So what you mean is that Lucian is not a poor man, but a young lady?"
"Yes………"
"That's probably the eldest lady who ran away from home. That's not surprising. It's not impossible that the eldest lady who doesn't care about worldly affairs disguises herself and travels far away, and then gets deceived by slave traders."
Duanmu Huai didn't care much about this, she was just a noble lady, she could do whatever she wanted, and she was not an emperor.
"Then can I transfer her to the personal guard? There are not many people who can heal magic, and we also need assistance..."
"no problem."
Duanmu Huai nodded. He now understood why Childi took the initiative to mention Luxian to him. After all, in Childi's view, this slave girl had too many doubts. But on the other hand, she could use healing magic. It can be regarded as a rare talent in the team at the moment, so it is necessary to use it, but you cannot make your own decisions. If this Luxian is really a spy sent by the enemy, then it will obviously be too late to wait until something happens.
That's why she reported the matter to Duanmu Huai in advance, as a precautionary measure.
After saying this, Qildi suddenly looked serious.
"In addition, the Guards are all ready and ready to go at any time!"
"very good."
Hearing Qildi's answer, Duanmu Huai also nodded.
"Let's do it tonight!"
After half a night of discussion last night, everyone had finalized the battle plan. Considering that the Titan's target was too big and would attract unnecessary attention when dispatched, Duanmu Huai finally decided to take advantage of the nightfall to take the Night Guard and several other troops on the Valkyrie gunboat and directly raid Bonn at night. fortress!
Anyway, a medieval fortress doesn't even have anti-aircraft defense. How can we just get it without breaking in?
Therefore, Duanmu Huai's idea is to first attack and occupy the Bonn Fortress, and then dispatch the Emperor Titan to cooperate. The only problem is that the troops of the First Army and the Second Army are not far from the Bonn Fortress. Once they find out that the Bonn Fortress has been lost, they will definitely find a way to recapture it. What they will face then is a brutal siege.
Yeah, but it's not a big deal.
As long as the follow-up troops arrive, the threat will naturally be lifted.
This is also the reason why Qildi personally went to Duanmu Huai to talk to Lu Xi'an. After all, she could also imagine that the intensity of this battle was definitely not small. One more healing aid would naturally provide more help. But the origin of the other party was unknown after all. What if something went wrong during such an important battle... But fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't take it to heart, and Qildi was relieved.
Soon, night fell, and after the moon rose, Duanmuhuai took the others on the Valkyrie gunboat and headed towards the Bonn Fortress.
Duanmu Huai brought five night guards, plus Suzunu and Kanami to form a team. The Lizas Guards led by Kilti were one team, the Manaria and Dragonite coalition forces led by Ann and Gulea were another team, and finally there was the Magic Guard from Seth, led by Uruze.
It can be said that there are just two teams in close combat and two teams in long range.
"It would be great if we in Lisas had such advanced vehicles."
Sitting on the Valkyrie gunboat, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Kildi couldn't help but sigh. In the past few days, they have been patrolling everywhere on this gunboat. It has to be said that after overcoming the initial fear of high altitudes, Kildi became more and more fond of these flying iron frames. Not only are they fast, but they are also very fast. , and it flies so high that everything on the ground can be seen clearly, and it can also carry out air cover and strikes when necessary...
It's a pity, I heard that even Seth hasn't developed anything similar. Lisas...well, I guess he still has to work hard.
But no matter what, this is at least a direction.
The Bonn Fortress is naturally brightly lit late at night, and soldiers can be seen patrolling the thick city walls. This is normal. After all, after Duanmu Huai and the Fourth Army occupied the city, many people thought that they would march towards Bonn Fortress and capture it. Therefore, during this period, the alert level of Bonn Fortress has also been raised a lot.
It's just a pity that they probably never thought that the enemy would come from the sky.
"Do it!"
Duanmuhuai gave the order and saw the hatch of the Valkyrie gunship floating in the night sky open. Then Suzume and Kanami leapt out of it one after another, sliding down the rope quickly like ghosts.
For ninjas, this is simply what they do best. Suzunu's figure disappeared in mid-air, and then she saw several soldiers looking out from the side of the city wall, their heads tilted, and they collapsed to the ground. Kanami on the other side also fell from the air quietly like a kitten. She came behind the guarding soldier with a ninja sword in her hand and cut his throat with one knife.
The Bonn Fortress is a typical example of being loose on the inside and tight on the outside. After all, no one thinks that the enemy will suddenly appear inside the fortress. Therefore, the defenses on the outside are tight, but the inside is very relaxed. In addition, both Suzume and Kanami are very skilled - well, Kanami almost overturned a few times, but luckily Suzume was there and helped her solve the problem easily.
Soon, all the soldiers on the outer wall of the fortress were cleared away by the two of them. Then Suzume took out the terminal and pressed the button. Then four Valkyrie gunboats fell from the sky and landed on the wall of the fortress.
Duanmu Huai, wearing armor and holding a heavy hammer, strode out, glanced at the silent fortress, and then coldly issued an order.
"Do it!!"
For the soldiers in Bonn Fortress, this night was obviously a nightmare.
When the door was smashed open and a huge dark figure walked into the military camp, they didn't even have time to get up from the bed and put on their pants. Then they saw a tall giant wearing terrifying armor waving a war hammer and sweeping past those people. The soldiers who didn't have time to get up were crushed into pulp.
"Don't give them a chance to merge! Don't be soft!"
On the other side, Kilti also led the Lisas Guards to attack the Bonn defenders. She swung her sword and nimbly dodged between the two warriors. At the same time, she swung the sword in her hand and stabbed directly into the heart of an enemy. The next moment, I saw Kirti turning around as gracefully as if dancing, dodging the attack from behind, and then using her backhand sword to separate the opponent's throat.
Even on the battlefield, you must remain elegant. This is Qildi's credo.
Duanmuhuai and Qildi divided their troops into two groups, responsible for attacking the headquarters and the weapons depot respectively. As for the others, they naturally did not follow suit. An and Gu Leiya led the coalition forces of Manalia and the dragon people to attack Hull in Bonn. The Man garrison blocked the camp, and Uruze led Seth's magic legion to occupy the city wall. Anyone who dared to leave would immediately be attacked by a storm from them.
"Light the fire! Light the fire quickly!!"
After all, Hermann's soldiers were experienced in combat. The initial raid did make them confused, but it didn't take long before they calmed down and began to make countermeasures.
Although I don’t know what methods the other party used, but at present, the Bonn Fortress has been penetrated by the other party, and it is unstoppable! In this case, what they had to do was to immediately tell other troops about the fall of Bonn Fortress. Since they can't rush out now, then... they might as well set fire to the entire fortress!
Soon, only a few soldiers were seen breaking through the siege under the cover of other colleagues, running directly to the grain and grass warehouse, holding torches high in their hands, and throwing them at the grain and grass in front of them!
"Liquid sphere!"
However, before they let go of their torches, water balls appeared out of thin air accompanied by shouts, and fell directly on the soldiers. Then the cold wind whistled, and a dragon girl with silver wings raised her hand and froze all the soldiers in front of her into ice cubes. On the other side, a dragon girl with golden hair and wings holding a staff suddenly waved her staff, and soon with a flash of magic light, she completely smashed the soldiers into pieces.
"What's going on?"
The commander of Bonn Fortress had naturally woken up at this moment. Looking through the window, he was also anxious. The commander had never thought that this group of rebels would be so bold that they dared to directly raid the fortress - but then again, how did they get in? Is there a ghost in our army?
"My lord!!"
Just when the commander was in doubt, suddenly, a soldier covered in blood rushed into the room.
"We can't stop them! The enemy is too strong..."
"Nonsense!!!"
Hearing the report, the commander of the fortress wanted to jump up.
"Didn't they say there were less than a hundred people? There are three thousand soldiers in the fortress, how can we not stop them?"
"But half of these invaders are magicians! Many people were blocked in the corridor and burned to death! And those steel giants, they are not like humans at all, any attack has no effect on them. Whether it is swords or magic, they can't hurt them! Sir, we can't hold on anymore---ah!"
However, before the soldier finished speaking, he saw an arm suddenly penetrate the hard stone wall and hit him directly. With a scream, the soldier was knocked out and hit the wall without any movement. Then Duanmu Huai broke through the stone wall and strode in.
Looking at the pale and trembling man in front of him, Duanmu Huai reached out, grabbed his head and lifted him up.
"Are you the commander?"
"Yes...it's me......"
Looking at the tall giant in front of him, the commander's face turned pale and he trembled all over.
"So, are you willing to surrender? Or die?"
"I, I...I surrender!!"
At this moment, the fortress commander made a decisive decision.
