Chapter 112 The Last Glory of the Empire
Day .
When dawn comes, the light falls on the Fortress of Sighs.
The fortress that was once packed with people now only has 50,000 soldiers left.
The city walls are full of traces of war.
The soldiers were making final preparations. They abandoned the outer city and buried a large number of magic crystals in the outer city.
The plan was to wait for the enemy to enter the outer city and then blow up all the enemies in the outer city.
All the violet soldiers retreated back to the inner city.
And they blocked the city gates with a large number of stones.
The inner city of the fortress was transformed into a real fortress.
There is no door, no chance to leave...
And just at this moment, Bachmut came again on horseback.
"Duke Winster, fellow heroes, you have proven yourselves. As long as you surrender, the Orc Empire will give you the respect you deserve!"
Listening to Bachmut's voice, it was like the devil's whisper tempting everyone.
But no one spoke.
Just staring at Bachmut in silence.
After a long while, a violet soldier spoke.
"Orcs! Put away your hypocritical faces! You have occupied my hometown! Now you want us to surrender to you? Impossible! You want the fortress? Then you can just step over our dead bodies!
The Violet Knight will never surrender!
Hometown, bright moon and loyalty! "
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the rest of the soldiers immediately shouted together.
"Hometown, bright moon and loyalty!"
"home……"
Although there were only 50,000 people, their momentum exceeded that of the original 500,000 people.
Inside the orc army, all the soldiers were silently watching these stubborn enemies.
The orc soldiers couldn't understand why the enemy's morale was getting higher and higher.
They heard sadness and loyalty from the roars in the distance...
An orc centurion looked at them and thought of the past, the time of Alexander the Great, when the orcs were dominated by the Violet Knight...
Bachmut eventually returned.
The people below tried to see the emotional fluctuations on Bachmut's face.
But Bachmut's face was calm.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, Bachmut has never easily shown his emotions on his face.
This is why even though Bachmut is a half-blood, he is still highly valued by the Orc Emperor.
Because Bachmut was the calmest of all the princes.
An angry man is not fit to be a monarch.
The Orc Emperor has always wanted to train Bachmut as his successor, but the other dozen princes have been ostracizing and suppressing Bachmut.
This made the Orc Empire very angry.
But Bachmut did not disappoint him and grew up along the way.
He holds considerable prestige in the Orc Empire.
Military camp outside the fortress.
"All troops, prepare! Prepare to take this fortress!"
Bachmut said calmly.
"Yes!"
The generals under his command immediately went down to prepare.
Soon, the orcs assembled their troops and launched a general attack under the care of a large number of catapult magicians.
The fortress defenders without magicians could only be forced to endure the bombing.
Winster had requested a magician from the Empire.
But the cardinal did not agree to Winster's request because magicians were scarce.
Winster set off with his army indignantly.
As a result, the fortress defenders could only rely on the scorpion crossbows on the city walls to carry out long-range attacks.
But under the targeting of the magician.
The scorpion crossbows were quickly destroyed...
The defenders of the fortress could only be forced to take the beating.
Fortunately, there are still many catapults in the fortress.
The two sides started fighting again, but by now, the catapults had been almost destroyed...
The defenders of the fortress could only retreat.
Wait for the orc soldiers to approach, and then defeat them fairly.
The eight hundred thousand orc army all pressed forward.
The darkness made everyone hold their breath.
The decisive battle has begun...
A flood of fireballs flew over.
Following closely came 10 orc heavy infantry.
The heavily armed infantry left the Violet soldiers helpless.
But the Violet Soldiers can also be considered quasi-heavy infantry.
Relying on their powerful fighting power, the violet soldiers briefly suppressed the orcs.
But the orcs launched waves of attacks and directly pushed back the violet soldiers on the outer city wall.
After two hours of fighting, Winster abandoned the outer wall.
Then retreat to the inner city.
When evacuating, magic crystals were used to blow up the stairs connecting the outer city wall and the inner city wall.
The orc soldiers saw that Winster and his men had voluntarily abandoned the outer city wall.
Then the morale was high, thinking that Winster and his men were about to be defeated, and tens of thousands of troops swarmed directly onto the outer city wall.
There are still some orcs wandering around in Weng City.
But what they didn't know was that the violet soldiers in the inner city were waiting for them to enter.
Since you already know you're going to die, you might as well take a few people with you.
With the determination to die bravely, the remaining 30,000-odd Violet soldiers have made final preparations in the inner city.
Seeing an army of nearly 10 orcs coming in, Winster chose to detonate the magic crystal outside the city without any hesitation.
"boom!"
The terrifying magical fluctuations directly blew all the orcs in the outer city into the sky.
Bachmut's expression changed slightly when he saw the 100,000 troops turned into ashes, but he was still very serious.
Bachmut regretted the loss of his 100,000-man army, and then he began to think about how to continue the attack.
Because no matter how many casualties there are now, the fortress has not been taken.
Then the orcs would not be able to withdraw, and once they retreated, they would turn to attack other targets.
Then all the efforts of the Orc Empire before this will be wasted.
By taking over the Fortress of Sighs, the Orc Empire can directly threaten the capital of the Holy Empire.
Tie down more troops.
This will free up more troops to support operations on the Western Front.
So after the explosion in the outer city, Bachmut only sent out an army of 10 to fight in rotation.
10 people went up and fought for two hours, then withdrew.
It has been consuming the manpower and energy of the Violet Soldiers.
Night fell quickly.
The orc army retreated regretfully.
It seemed like they were about to take the city, but the orc soldiers could no longer move forward even a little bit.
The violet soldiers firmly occupied the last two attics.
Relying on the last 800 people, they blocked the attack of thousands of orcs.
As night fell, Bachmut stopped his soldiers from attacking.
We have come this far, and we can only make one last move...
Let the soldiers have a good rest and make a concerted effort tomorrow!
At night, eight hundred violet soldiers slept directly in the attic. They were so tired that they collapsed.
But what awaits them tomorrow is death...
Winster looked at the last 800 violet soldiers, not knowing what to say.
A violet soldier spoke up.
"Your Excellency the Duke... Are the reinforcements coming? Or should I say that there were no reinforcements from the beginning..."
(The morning is full of classes, and it’s even later, don’t scold me??(?≧□≦?)??)
