honor me as god

Chapter 683 Repentance
At noon on the day when the defenders of the Frozen Fortress refused to surrender, Jupiter ordered his troops to attack the inner city wall.

Tens of thousands of tribal warriors carried the siege equipment seized from the arsenal and walked on the road leading to the inner city wall, intending to break through the inner city wall in one fell swoop.

However, before these tribal fighters had time to push the siege equipment to the effective strike distance, they were strongly blocked by ambushes.

These ambush soldiers are mostly equipped with light individual equipment such as scimitars, small shields, light crossbows, fuel oil, and fire breakers. They do not engage in hand-to-hand combat when they come up.

The tribal fighters tried to pursue them, but these ambush soldiers appeared elusive. They often disappeared suddenly after running across the corner of the alley, or they went straight into a certain house and searched for a long time after chasing them, but no one was found.

Later, a tribal warrior had quick eyesight and quick hands. When chasing and killing, he managed to catch an ambush soldier, only to find out that they were conducting guerrilla warfare through underground secret passages.

Although the existence of the underground secret passage was discovered, the battle situation has not changed for the tribal fighters. They are not familiar with the structure of the secret passage. Even if they chase in, they can only wander around like headless chickens. If you are unlucky, you will be killed by those ambush soldiers who understand the structure of the tunnel.

In this way, the advancement of the tribal fighters became very difficult. From time to time, people were killed and the siege equipment was frequently damaged. They had to beware of cold arrows and fuel bottles flying from nowhere, and their movement speed naturally slowed down. .

Jupiter, who was overlooking the battlefield from the outer city wall, was full of confidence at first, thinking that breaking through the inner city wall and crushing those stupid remnants would be a piece of cake, but now seeing that the opponent was carrying out authentic guerrilla tactics in an orderly manner without any collapse, he couldn't help but shudder. Frowning, he looked at Ashuma coldly: "What's going on? Why do these people still maintain their combat effectiveness?"

Ashuma didn't know what was going on, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "I think...it might be that Larsen's beheading stimulated those idiots, and they planned to kill them."

Jupiter snorted coldly and ignored Ashuma. He looked at the distant battlefield and said to himself: "Our soldiers can't die here needlessly. Those idiots want to fight? Hehehe, let They've got enough! Apollo, send troops to take 'those people' up."

Apollo showed a sinister smile and walked down the city wall.

On the inner city wall of the frozen fortress, Solandelle was standing under the banner of the Laurel King overlooking the battlefield. The battle situation in front of her was in line with her expectations. Can threaten the range of the inner city wall.

However, at this time, with the sound of horns from the enemy camp, all the tribal fighters suddenly disengaged from the guerrilla forces and withdrew from the theater.

This scene made Solandelle feel puzzled. The other party managed to advance a certain distance, and now retreats completely. The previous advance distance is all in vain. At that time, he will be killed again by the guerrillas. Why is this?
A soldier seemed a little excited, and asked tentatively: "Are these barbarians scared by us?"

Solandelle stared at the dead and silent war zone ahead, a bad premonition welled up in her heart, her heart beat faster and faster, she frowned and said, "Something's not right."

At this moment, some figures appeared at the end of the war zone, and the soldiers on the inner wall became vigilant.

Everyone originally thought that the survivors of the Six Kings were defeated in the first battle, and now they should have dispatched more elite tribal fighters, preparing to forcibly break through the guerrilla war zone.

But when those figures gradually approached, the scene in front of them made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.

Among the figures who came, none of the people in the row were tribal fighters, but civilians. Judging from their clothes, they were all aborigines who used to live in the frozen fortress. There were old people, women, and many children. , Those children are still underage, some are even five or six years old, only as high as an adult's waist, and the total number is at least 500.

There is a tribal warrior behind every civilian. They bend over and hide behind, as if they are using these civilians as meat shields.

The old people and women were already pale with fright, their legs were trembling. Some people were so frightened that they couldn't walk, and they were pushed forward by the tribal warriors.

Those young children were not aware of their situation, they tilted their heads naively, looking at the strangers behind them for a while, and at the king's flag fluttering on the city wall in the distance, their eyes were full of laurel flowers. vision.

Seeing this scene, Garrott's heart became colder. It's not that he felt that the behavior of the survivors of the Six Kings was too despicable. In the Laurel War, did the Far Eastern Dynasty use any despicable means?Soldiers never tire of deceit on the battlefield, sometimes there is no moral bottom line at all, and he has seen too many things like using civilians as human shields.

Garalt was not chilled by the actions of the remnants of the six kings, but was disturbed by Thorandell and the upcoming battle.

This was the first time that Solandelle commanded a large army to fight. Her experience was extremely immature, and she had never dealt with emergencies, but she happened to encounter this despicable enemy again.

In such a difficult situation, even an experienced commander might hesitate to deal with it. Garrott couldn't imagine what kind of mood Solandelle was in right now.

Also chilling are the soldiers on the city wall. Now they are all their compatriots who have lived together in the frozen fortress for several years. Many of them are even familiar faces. They met and greeted each other on the street yesterday. He became a hostage of the remnants of the six kings.
Just when the soldiers were at a loss, Solandelle's voice suddenly came: "Fire the arrow."

Everyone, including Garrot, fell into horror. A soldier looked at Solandelle's back and shouted tremblingly, "Your Highness, that's our compatriot!"

Solandelle turned around, and the scene in front of her made the soldiers freeze in place.

I saw Solandelle weeping, and her thin shoulders kept trembling. The tears were frozen into ice crystals by the extreme northern wind and fell on the skirt of her clothes continuously. Her eyes were desolate and sad, but her voice was firm and unwavering: "I know they are compatriots, they are, and so are you. If the enemy is allowed to advance and approach the dangerous area, the inner city wall may be captured, and the 10,000+ people behind us who have not withdrawn in time will die."

"I'm not a god, I can't save everyone, I can't put most of you in danger for the few people in front of me."

Solandelle turned around, and her tearful eyes looked firmly forward: "For 30 seconds, remember the compatriots who are about to die, and feel remorse and apology to them. Then."

"Fire arrows!"
