Chapter 111 Bloodstained Phoenix
As the Fortress of Sighs was surrounded, all eyes were focused here.
the next day.
Just at dawn, an orc noble on horseback walked out of the orc army camp.
He arrived at the fortress gate alone.
"Who is coming!"
"Bachmut, the commander of the orc army!"
Seeing this, the soldier immediately informed Winster.
As soon as Winster heard it, he rushed over.
As soon as Bachmut saw Winster coming out, he spoke.
"Duke Winster, I am Bachmut. The blood of the empire flows in my veins. I don't want to see the soldiers of the empire die in vain. Duke Winster, please withdraw! Give up this city!
The Holy Empire will not send reinforcements, you have been abandoned!"
The other soldiers looked at Winster in disbelief, as if asking if this was true.
Winster lowered his head and then spoke seriously.
"Bachmut! There is no Duke in the Holy Empire who surrenders! He will not give up the city!
Go back! The Empire will never surrender!"
Bachmut nodded and left.
When he turned around, all the soldiers were looking at Winster.
His eyes were full of hope, hoping to hear a positive answer from Winster.
But Winster was destined to be unable to answer. Winster looked into the distance and spoke.
"Reinforcements will come, as long as we hold on for another five days! The Empire will win!"
Hearing this, all the soldiers were given a shot of adrenaline.
"We must win! We must win! We must win!"
The overwhelming sound rang out, telling everyone that the imperial military spirit is still there.
"Woo~"
As the horn sounded, the siege began.
The enemy still sent out 300,000 troops to deplete the imperial army's strength.
However, today's 300,000 troops are much stronger than yesterday's.
Another boring day of attack and defense.
The 300,000-strong army was defeated again.
Today's casualties are slightly less than yesterday.
Fifteen thousand Violet Soldiers and forty thousand Imperial recruits died.
There are still many wounded.
Plus those who died and were injured yesterday.
The fortress had less than 25 combat-capable soldiers.
How long can it last?
five days?
Winster didn't know either.
But Winster and his men must persevere, the Empire must not lose the Fortress of Sighs!
On the third day, the Orc Empire sent out 30 troops to continue to consume the defenders of the Fortress of Sighs.
But today's offensive was unusually fierce.
The 30 soldiers of the Orc Empire are all elite.
After today, the military strength of the Fortress of Sighs has been reduced again.
There are only 10 Violet Soldiers left, and Imperial recruits...
It’s only the third day…
The soldiers thought they had four days left...
I must hold on! As long as I can hold on for four days, I will be saved and can go home!
On the fourth day, the orcs sent out 50 elite troops.
They took down the outer city wall in one go.
Winster personally took to the battlefield, without using any magic power, and suffered heavy casualties.
The outer city wall was successfully recaptured.
Winster took inventory and found that there were only 50,000 violet soldiers left.
Apart from the tens of thousands of wounded who were still alive...
The others have already fallen...
The decisive battle will be tomorrow, right? I can't wait for the reinforcements to arrive...
At night, someone blew the recorder on the city wall.
The clear sound of the flute resounded throughout the fortress.
Looking at the statues of Emperor Drionsley and Alexander the Great in the fortress hall, Winster couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time.
The once mighty empire is no longer glorious or sacred.
Thousands of years ago, Draenei set out from here and founded a vast empire.
Decades ago, Alexander rebuilt the empire and made it shine again.
But now... Edward III had squandered the empire.
The empire is about to be destroyed and disintegrated.
My ancestors! Please open your eyes! Please save the empire!
If the fortress falls, tens of millions of people will be displaced.
The empire can no longer withstand such harm...
Winster knelt in the hall with a sad face. The sound of a recorder came to his ears. The moonlight shone through the glazed ceiling of the hall and fell on Winster.
This is probably what a hero’s end looks like, right?
outside the hall.
Fifty thousand violet soldiers were listening quietly to the sound of the recorder.
This is a song from the Violet Principality that tells a poignant story.
Legend has it that Balian, the founder of the Violet Principality, was just a poor blacksmith before he established the principality.
But a noble girl fell in love with him.
Balian had nothing to give to the noble girl, so he could only give the girl violets, a flower unique to the Violet Principality.
The girl accepted the flower and had a romantic night with Balian.
The affair between Barian and the girl was discovered by the girl's father, who sent Barian directly to the battlefield.
Killing numbs a person.
But in order not to forget the girl, Balian carved a violet on the chest of the armor with his own hands.
Balian then spent ten years following Emperor Dranes in his campaigns.
Eventually, he gained fame as the Violet Knight in the battle to defend the imperial capital.
He led 50,000 Violet Knights and crushed the 800,000-strong coalition army of four nations that besieged the imperial capital.
And captured alive the emperors of the Demon Empire and the Elf Empire.
Fight to fame.
He was conferred the title of Duke and was given the title of governor of a region.
Balian named his principality the Violet Principality.
After ten years of fighting and many life-threatening situations, the successful and famous Balian never forgot the beauty from his hometown.
But when he returned to his hometown and found the girl's family, he learned that she had died...
In order to avoid marrying someone else, the woman jumped into the water and committed suicide...
Only Balian's children were left.
Balian collapsed and took good care of the boy the woman gave birth to Balian.
And he never remarried.
A generation of Violet Grand Duke, who rose because of love and ended because of love.
The tradition of the Violet Knight has been passed down forever.
Violet The man and the woman are in love with each other. If the woman's family disagrees, the man can join the army.
The woman's family should not interfere with her thoughts.
Unless the man died on the battlefield.
This is the gift that Grand Duke Violet left to everyone in the Violet Principality.
He didn't want anyone else to have the same regrets as him.
The Violet Knight can sacrifice himself, but he cannot leave any regrets behind...
As time went by, only this song has been passed down.
This song also changed from a symbol of love to a symbol of tragedy.
When the Violet Soldier hears this song, it is time for the Violet Soldier to fight to the death.
Winster also recognized the tune and immediately polished his sword.
Looking at the sword that has been with him for more than 30 years, Winster couldn't help but sigh.
"Old buddy, let us fight side by side one last time!"
Fengming Mountain...
Here the empire rose, and here it will fall...
