Chapter 295 Deadlock
Awakened by the roar of the magic cannon, Lu Ming hurriedly ran to the city wall after putting on his armor, only to see Lamanlas and Tures commanding the magicians, uninterruptedly attacking the army of the elves. Launch the shelling.

However, what worries him a little is that although the magic cannon is powerful enough to defeat part of the elf army, the long-term bombardment may overload the magic cannon, resulting in temporary failure.

Although the failure may not last too long, once it occurs, it will cause a certain blow to the morale of our own soldiers.

So as soon as he came here, Lu Ming began to direct the archers to attack, so that the soldiers should not blindly rely on the fire of the magic cannon. Otherwise, once the runes on the magic cannon are overloaded and the magic cannon temporarily fails, they will be able to defend against it. Can't stand the attack of the elves.

However, while directing the archers to forcibly shell the magic cannons and kill the elves towards the fortress, Lu Ming was very surprised to find that in the elves' army, there were some dark cursers who used to protect this Pokémon. Skills to provide a protective barrier for those elf soldiers to resist the shelling of magic cannons.

Lu Ming was surprised by this, because he had never seen a Nether Curse protect people or elves who were not from Netherworld forces.It would be nice if they didn't eat those elves, but now they are protecting them. Could it be that these Dark Cursers have changed their gender?

But soon, Lu Ming saw that those who cursed you were chained up by iron chains. They were obviously enslaved by the elves, and the elves seemed to have found a way to resist their cursed clouds, so that they could Pass through the cloud of cursed death of the deep curser at will, without being affected by the cloud of cursed death at all.

"Damn it, what tricks are these elves playing?" Lu Ming said to himself unhappily as he looked at the Dark Cursers who used protection from time to time to shield the elven soldiers from the bombardment of magic cannons.

At this time, Losric, who was also awakened by the sound of shelling, also rushed here.

"How is the situation now?" Losric asked Lu Ming just after arriving here.

"Because of our magic cannon, it is difficult for Aifa's army to get close to here. But you can also see that those Dark Cursers are using their protection skills to protect the elven soldiers, making it difficult for our bombardment to kill certain people. Elves. As a result, now we will not be able to break through the first layer of the city wall, nor can we repel them!" Lu Ming said unhappily, pointing at Aifa's army that was desperately rushing over.

"Moreover, the most important thing now is that only two-thirds of their army has been dispatched. We don't know where the remaining tens of thousands of elves are now!" Edsol saw that Lothric had also come here , walked over, followed Lu Ming's words, and said.

Hearing this, Losric couldn't help but frowned, and said with some anxiety: "Are they planning to use these elves to hold us back, while they pass through Morgan Forest and go straight to the inside of Erebus? But there are so many dragons in the forest , and there are even legends that there are several ancient dragons living in the depths of the forest. Those elves alone may not be able to pass through Morgan Forest. Even if they can pass through, the elves who can survive may not even have three digits. No. For the elves, the benefits of such an approach are pitifully small. Then, where did their soldiers go? Could it be that they have some conspiracy?"

"I feel that they are not necessarily trying to play some weird tricks, but because of something, they have to leave some soldiers in the small town to meet the soldiers who are attacking the city now!" Lu Ming casually said After shooting a Dark Curse, he turned his head and said to Losric.

"You mean, their commander is still cautiously thinking that we have prepared a trap because of our countermeasure?" Edsol looked at Lu Ming in disbelief and asked.

"Otherwise, why do you think they dare not attack us with all their strength? Isn't it because they are afraid of traps!" Lu Ming glanced at Edsol like a fool, and then turned to Losric and said: "If I'm not wrong, the remaining troops of the elves will arrive here in a few hours and start attacking the city with all their strength!"

Upon hearing this, Losric turned his head and glanced at the second city wall, which was 50 meters away from the first city wall.

Seeing this, Losric couldn't help but Lu Ming knew what he meant.Now only two-thirds of this elf army has tied with them. If the remaining elves join the offensive, they will only be able to retreat to the second line The city wall, and may even have to retreat to the third and fourth walls.

And when they retreated to the fourth city wall, basically all the soldiers could leave here through the teleportation magic circle in the deepest part of the fortress with them, and then began to fight the elves' troops inside the principality.

But this basically declared that Erebus lost the ability to counterattack, and fighting with the elves' troops inside the principality would cause very unpredictable losses to the principality, which was the last thing Lu Ming and others wanted to see!
"Losric, it looks like the two of us didn't make enough magic cannons at night!" Lu Ming glanced at the second city wall, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said to Losric.

"That's right. Not enough!" After drawing the bow fully, Losric smiled, and then shot an arrow, nailing a deep curser to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile, and then he took out several golden arrows at once, and nailed several Nether Cursers to the ground at once——
In the afternoon, three o'clock.

In a small town several kilometers away from Fort Mordred, Taftier was waiting for news from Fort Mordred.

Because she is good at intrigue and scheming, she didn't have much hope for this attack on Mordred Fortress.The reason was that she felt that Lu Ming and the others had set a trap and was waiting for them to jump down, so she asked her husband who led the troops to attack Mordred Fortress to leave behind almost 4 soldiers in order to support him who suffered a loss. .

However, while she was waiting for news from the front to prove herself to the disgruntled soldiers who were forced to stay, a soldier returned from the front with a not-so-good news for her. information.

As soon as he saw the Duchess of Taftier, the soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty the Duke, the war situation on your Majesty's side has reached a stalemate. I hope you can send troops to support!"

Upon hearing this, Taftiel's expression changed several times.

Because advantages or disadvantages cannot create a deadlock.A stalemate means that the enemy and we are evenly matched, which means that neither party can defeat the other party and will not be defeated by the other party.

This is not the same situation as she thought!
However, under the onslaught of an army of nearly 8, the strength was only a little over [-], and the fact that Mordred Fortress, which was mostly a motley army, was able to hold it proved that Mordred's defenders were indeed It is indeed prepared!It's just that this trap is not as terrible as Taftier thought.

After knowing that he thought too highly of the traps of Lu Ming and others, Taftiel immediately ordered to several of his personal guards: "Everyone go to gather the army, we are going to support Earl Pilar !"

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!" Hearing Duchess Taftiere's order, the guards immediately took action and went to gather the army.

However, after all the elves left here, her expression suddenly turned gloomy.

After sitting on her chair, the Duchess Taftiere said angrily: "Suspicion! It's a good game! Humans! Orcs! Murlocs!"

At this time, her adjutant came in, saluted her respectfully, and then said: "My lord, I think the defenders of the Mordred Fortress know that you are good at resourcefulness and will think twice before you encounter things. , That's why they did something as weird as yesterday to make you think about their purpose, so you didn't dare to attack the city, so as to delay the time and wait for the reinforcements from other duchies of the Mira Caesar Kingdom to arrive!"

"You're right. That's the purpose of those Mira Caesars. However, they were able to forcibly defend Bilal's attack, which can be regarded as a plan. If they attacked rashly yesterday, they would probably suffer a loss. But today The reason why Lal is fine is because Licart Wenderslan and Medivh Arms brought the Dark Curser to assist him!" Although Taftiel had already realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment, as an elf A female elf nobleman with a relatively high status in the clan, her arrogance from the bottom of her heart prevented her from admitting that she was inferior to her husband.

However, when the adjutant heard that Taftiere had sent Licart Wendersland and Medivon Arms to assist Hilardon Pilar, he couldn't help but asked in shock: "My lord, Don’t you know that? Those two Youxi lackeys are men with evil intentions and cannot be trusted! If you ask them to assist Lord Pilar in attacking Mordred Fortress, that’s not sending him to the tiger’s mouth Did you go!?"

Hearing this, Taftiere smiled indifferently, and said: "That guy will die as soon as he dies, and he can only blame him for not being on guard against Licat Wendersland and Medivh Arms!"

Hearing such ruthless words, the adjutant was silent for a moment, and then said: "I see."

After speaking, she left the room where Tavertier was, and went to gather the army.

The Duchess of Taftiere also began to hang her sword around her waist, put on her hat, and prepared to take the soldiers to the Fortress of Mordred after the army was assembled, preparing to take down Mordred in one fell swoop. Fort Dredd.

But she didn't notice that her adjutant gave her a vicious look before leaving, as if she had a deep hatred for her! ——
While Duchess Taftiere's personal guards were gathering soldiers there, her adjutant came to a secret room and found an elf.

He was the Duchess of Taftiere's husband, Heraldton Pilar.

He was supposed to command the army to attack Mordred, but because he was worried about Li Carter and Medivh, he chose to let his substitute command the army, and he himself hid in this secret room that he discovered by himself, waiting for news .

Seeing his wife's adjutant approaching, he immediately walked over and asked, "Is the situation on the front line just like what I said, just a suspicious strategy?"

"Yes, what the Mira Caesars did yesterday is indeed a suspicious strategy. However, they also prepared something to put the army commanded by your substitute into a deadlock." He picked up the table casually After taking a sip of the glass of water on the table, the adjutant said.

Hearing this, Haraldton stepped forward, put his arms around his wife's female adjutant, and asked, "That guy is preparing to lead the army to support the front line right now?"

"Yes. Now she asked her personal guards and me to gather the soldiers and prepare to go to the front line to support." The adjutant did not resist, but let Hilaldon put his arms around him.However, she soon said worriedly: "That guy doesn't care about you at all, and we cronies are also trembling around her, so I'm afraid that if she loses the battle at Fort Mordred, she will take it with you." Let’s take it out!”

Suddenly the adjutant turned around, looked at Hilarton, and suggested, "Let's run! Go to a small country and live in seclusion, and stop messing with the nobles, okay?"

Haraldton didn't even hesitate, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes! After she leaves with the army, we will go!"

Twenty minutes later, Taftiel left the small town with his army and rushed to the Mordred Fortress, preparing to join up with 'Hyraldon' and attack the Mordred Fortress with all his strength.

But when they arrived here, it was already evening. Whether it was the army of 'Hyraldon' or the defenders of Fort Mordred such as Lu Ming, they had been fighting for a long time, and their physical strength was exhausted.

However, Taftier, who had just arrived here, didn't care whether his soldiers were tired or not, and ordered that as long as they were soldiers, they would continue to attack the city without rest.

Fortunately, she brought tens of thousands of soldiers, enough to take down the first city wall, otherwise the soldiers might mutiny.

Of course, she is also a general who has fought all her life, so it is impossible not to know whether her orders will cause mutiny.The reason why she had to forcibly attack the city was also because the opponent's soldiers were also tired!Take advantage of its fatigue and attack its vital points!That's what the Duchess of Taftieres thought!

Although the soldiers didn't understand this order very much, since they were able to capture this fortress, it didn't matter if they died of exhaustion!

But neither they nor Taftiel knew that Licart and Medivh, who had been guarded by Hiralton all this time, were plotting their own plots. When they captured the fortress, they would give Taft The Duchess of Thiel and the soldiers of the elves were pleasantly surprised, letting them know that Youhui is not easy to mess with.

But before that, the fortress had to be captured.

However, Lu Ming and others will never give them this chance, because once the fortress is captured, their territory will become precarious, and their family members may die under the butcher's knife of the elves.

So they will stick to Fort Mordred until reinforcements arrive!
