PS: Sorry, I’m addicted to ti, come on LGD! CNDOTA, BESTDOTA!

Just as Ryan and others' army retreated towards Feildorf, the capital of the Wesen Territory, the White Tower City also declared its fall. This was the strongest stronghold in the south of the Wesen Territory. There was once high hope that it could last long enough. This allowed Nur to completely improve the defense and allow Lord Wesen's main army stationed at Blackfire Pass to return to Feldorf.

In fact, the defenders did their best. They armed the city to the teeth. Three musketry battalions and dozens of artillery were enough to withstand the onslaught of most enemies. The Kurgans immediately came to the conclusion after a tentative attack. , that means a massive army is needed to conquer the city in a short time.

Tamukhan cannot tolerate this outcome. He now wants to race against time even more than the empire. Few people know that the reason why Emperor Karl-Franz has been unable to withdraw from the Hawkland War for a long time is Tamukhan. Praying to the loving father Nurgle, the loving father Nurgle agreed to his beloved son Tamukhan, and let Varnir, the Nurgle Champion of the Brass Fortress, Deathblade, send troops to hold back the emperor's army.

But instead, Fat Grandpa Nurgle's patience was running out. Nurgle's favor and expectations for Tamur Khan were increasing day by day, forcing Tamur Khan to speed up his advance.

Facing the solid city defense, Tamu Khan found the Chaos Dwarves. If his alliance with the Chaos Dwarves could not work at this time, what value would this alliance have?

"City wall?" The gray prophet Drazhoth carefully surveyed the defense of the entire city, and he let out a mocking laugh: "Why do I think this is a pile of sand piled up by a child on the plain? We I will help you solve all this, but it’s because of the covenant, I say it again, it’s because of the covenant!”

In this way, the Chaos Dwarves sent out powerful war machines. Dozens of Chaos Dwarf mortars, mortars, lava cannons and Chaos Hell Cannons opened fire together. Tamu Khan soared into the sky riding a toad dragon, carrying a huge The battle ax inspired the morale of the Kurgan army.

The siege began. War machines composed of black armor and brass rumbled into action. Under the colorful sky was the frightened breathing of the imperial army. The cannon crew also activated the siege weapons and resolutely fought back against the enemy. The entire The ground trembled like a wounded animal, and the broken human body and the gun body were thrown into the air in the soaring flames. Waves of fear followed one after another. With the increase in demon power, the power of the Chaos Dwarves' artillery fire was much higher than that of the White Tower City's cannons. Soon, after the artillery battle, the entire walls and walls of the White Tower City One after another, the towers burst into flames and collapsed under the attack of the Chaos Dwarf siege weapons, and the defenders were drowned in hellfire.

Immediately afterwards, Doergan's horseman army and Tamu Khan's rotten knights began to charge. They invaded the city along the blasted gaps in the city wall and the shattered city gates. The cavalry's battle was simple and simple. Cruel, the number of imperial cavalry could not be compared with the number of Kurgan cavalry. They were immediately submerged in the torrent of the Chaos army. The imperial militiamen were frightened out of their courage, and their morale collapsed. They dropped their weapons and turned around. Fleeing, the Plague Ogres and Chaos Giants scaled the city walls, crushing the fleeing Musketeers and Imperial soldiers to death and then devouring them.

The war ended quickly, and the White Tower City was eventually burned to the ground.

Satisfied with this victory, Tamukhan immediately ordered a continuation of the march and immediately attacked Ferdov, followed closely by Nur.

"Nur! Ludwig's city! It will fall!"

On the third day after the fall of the White Tower City, Ryan and others also retreated to Feldorf.

The gates of Feildorf City were opened, and the residents here were gradually evacuating. There were not many residents left, and the streets were very empty. However, under Emilia's strict order, supplies had been prepared in the city. , the tired cavalry entered the city to settle down one after another, but the footsteps of the Chaos army followed closely behind them and were rolling towards Feldorf.

"We can only rest in this city for two days at most, and then we must return to Nuer immediately." Ryan turned over and dismounted, and then took his wife Sulia off the horse: "In less than five days, the Chaos army will arrive in Feir. Dov.”

"I hope our efforts will be useful." Sulia's face was very tired. The female knight is now a legendary mid-level strength. This strength is not enough to fully control her divine outfit. She felt her body went soft as soon as she landed. , leaning on her husband's arms and breathing softly.

After severely damaging the Chaos Dwarf transport team, Ryan and others launched an ambush at Fort Gunter, defeating the Chaos Vanguard Army led by the Chaos Dragon Knight Auerbach-Poisonous Gut. After this battle, Tamu Khan's march began They had to slow down, but Ryan's army also reached its limit.

"Our efforts will be useful." Kalad was very energetic. After dismounting, he glanced at the city in ecstasy: "At least we have fulfilled our obligations and we have saved thousands of people."

"Ah, the fight was really enjoyable!" Black-hearted Lepp was also very tired. The mercenary baron was already in a very embarrassed state. There were many gray marks on his bald head, which were sweat, dust and the sun from the Wesen collar. Strange shapes formed underneath.

The Old Guard also suffered heavy losses this time. The newly formed Old Guard only had a size of more than 800 people, which was still a shortfall of more than 700 people from Ryan's ideal of more than 1,500 people. However, this expedition , more than a hundred old guards fell forever on the land of Wesen Territory.

Without sacrifice, there is no victory. This is the most important truth Landuin taught Ryan. He regretted it, but he did not regret it.

It was already afternoon when they arrived in Ferdorf. Ryan arranged for everyone to rest. He and Sulia also entered the castle guest room in Ferdorf to rest.

It was already evening after a short rest. At this time, Ryan and Sulia received news that the old Marquis of Wesenland, Ogle Hawke, led an army of about 5,000 people to Feldorf.

In the lobby of the castle, Ryan met the Marquis Ogle-Hawk.

The old Marquis was very old and his hair was gray. He had a sour and sweaty smell from hurriedly coming back from the Black Fire Pass. His eyes were sunken and he looked haggard.

Ryan, Sulia, Kalad and others came to the castle hall. When Ogle Hawk saw them coming in, he did not stand up from his seat. He looked very tired and just raised his hand to signal. A younger man in his prime came up and greeted everyone: "This is my son, Mario Hawk."

"Hello, Mr. Lane, Mrs. Surya, and Mr. Kalad." This is a young knight who looks about thirty years old. He has long brown hair and is slightly fat, but his body is full of muscles. When he saw Ryan and others appearing, he puffed out his chest in a somewhat aggressive manner, gripped the long sword at his waist, and greeted Ryan and others in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

Kalad was a little strange. The Holy Grail Knight wondered what kind of trick this was. This old marquis actually came up without introducing himself or asking about the situation of the battle, but instead introduced his son?

Turning to look at Ryan and Sulia, she found that Ryan didn't look anxious at all. He greeted the old Marquis's son Mario very gently, and Sulia's eyes when looking at the old Marquis became very complicated. It was a look that was mixed with regret and admiration.

After chatting for a while, Ryan said to the old Marquis: "Our blockade has slowed down the pace of the Chaos army, but they are still following us closely. In five days at most, the Chaos army will arrive at the gates of Ferdorf. "

"...I understand." Ogier's eyes were already very cloudy. Due to the exhaustion of the long journey and lack of sleep, his dark circles were very obvious: "I brought back 10,000 people from the Black Fire Pass, and there are five more Thousands of people will stay there for now.”

"Didn't you bring them all back?" Ryan picked up the wine glass and looked at the old Marquis: "At this time, you should bring them all back."

"Yes, I should." Ogle Hawke nodded, but then shook his head: "But I didn't."

"..." Ryan narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth, and said nothing more.

A strange atmosphere fell into the castle hall. Both sides seemed to have something to say, but neither of them spoke. The old Marquis squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, while Ryan and others could only remain silent.

Why did the old Marquis leave five thousand people in Blackfire Pass? Why did he introduce his son to Ryan first? Why don't both sides talk?

Kalad was full of questions, and he could only look at Pfitzman, the grand leader of the Knights of the Sun, with doubts. Pfitzman just shook his head slightly and said nothing.

After being dull for a while, Kalad had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "Sir Hawke, Ferdorf belongs to you. Do you have any battle plans after taking over?"

"Combat plan?" Callard's words broke the silence in the room. The old Marquis said coldly: "What battle plan can I have? Or, why should I tell you my battle plan? A stranger?"

"We came from afar to help you!" Anger and confusion filled Kalad's chest, and he almost stood up: "At least you have to tell us what to do next, right?"

"... You can retreat tomorrow. Retreat to Nuer. This is my battle plan." The old Marquis raised his head and stared at Kalad: "This is what you want to know, the battle plan. I will tell you now. , Holy Grail Knight, are you satisfied?"

"Aren't you going to retreat to Nuer with us?" Ryan spoke, and he took out a letter.

This letter was written by Emilia herself. The Imperial Lady told the old Marquis that Feildorf could not be defended. Even though this city was the capital of the Wesen Territory, it was still impossible to stop the Chaos army. She asked Marquis Oger to return to Nuer immediately. Only by returning to Nuer and relying on Nuer's city defense could this war have a chance of winning.

Oger took the letter and read it. He said that he understood: "In this way, you will cover the evacuation of the last group of refugees from Feldorf tomorrow, and I will leave last."

"good."

…………I am the dividing line for you to go first…………

The next day, Ryan and others, who had rested for a night, escorted the last batch of refugees to retreat. Thousands of Feldov refugees passed by the Feldov Bridge Fortress. In late autumn, the wide water of the Weizen River was rushing. More than that, the water became turbid and foamy due to the corrupting influence of chaos upstream.

The refugees looked sad as they crossed the bridge slowly. The long queue stretched for several kilometers. Lane and others stood at the end of the bridge and watched the refugee flow retreat.

"This is the last wave of refugees." Pfitzman, the grand leader of the Knights of the Sun, stretched out his hand to hold the sword at his waist and looked in the direction of Nuer: "I guess Nuer is already crowded."

"They lost everything, but at least they saved their lives." Ryan nodded, looking at the gloomy late autumn sky: "If you save people, you will lose their land, and everyone and the land will survive. If you save the land, you will lose people, and everyone and the land will be lost. As long as you live, There is hope.”

The queue of refugees moved very slowly, and Ryan and others waited patiently. From morning to noon, the last batch of refugees disappeared on the other side of the Ferdorf Bridge towards Noor, and then came the five thousand led by Wesson. With many armies, they would march to Nuer and establish a new line of defense beneath the walls of that great city.

"Let's retreat too." Black-hearted Lepp rode up on his war horse. When the mercenary baron saw that the refugees were finally evacuated, he couldn't wait to say: "Sir Ryan, the refugees are all gone!"

"Yes." Ryan led more than 3,000 troops to pass the bridge one after another.

The old Marquis of Wesenland had a cold face the whole time. He rode on his horse and said to his son: "Mario, you also go over and send Duke Ryan off for me. You tell them, I represent all the Wesenlanders." The people of Solland, the residents of Feldof and our Marquis of Hawke family are forever grateful for his dedication and help."

"Yes!" Mario, Ogier's legitimate son, had no doubt that he had it. He quickly rushed across the bridge on his war horse and just arrived at Ryan's side. Before he could speak, the sound of a heavy cannon suddenly sounded behind him.

"boom!"

The century-old bridge was completely blown apart by the power of artillery. The bridge fragments fell into the water and were submerged in the current of the Wesson River, causing large splashes of water.

"Father?" Mario turned around in disbelief. He shouted across the rushing water of the Wesen River: "Father! Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, Mario." The expression on the old Marquis's face was still cold, and he closed his eyes in pain: "Send my regards to Her Majesty the Baroness."

Ryan and others already understood what Ogier planned to do. Sulia sighed softly and rode to Ryan's side: "This is his choice."

"No! Father!" Mario was so anxious that he ran back and forth on the cliff of the broken bridge: "Come here quickly! This is the order of Her Majesty the Baroness. You are the Marquis of Wesenland. Noor cannot live without you!"

"From today on, you are the Marquis of Wesenland, Mario." The old Marquis Ogier said coldly on the other end: "Mario, this is the last lesson I will teach you as a father."

"It is the bounden duty of our soldiers to protect our homeland and our country. Ferdorf is the land where I was born and raised. I will never give up this city and this land."

"Tell Her Majesty the Baroness that I, Ogle Hawke, will do my duty faithfully and stand the last duty for myself, the Baroness, and the Empire. The future belongs to you, Mario!" The old Marquis sighed softly. : "My son, I am the setting sun, and you will be the rising sun tomorrow. The reconstruction of Feldorf needs you, and Noor needs you."

"No..." The legitimate son of the old Marquis could not accept this fact, and tears flowed down his cheeks: "No! Father, if this is the case, I would rather die with you!"

"What do you look like?! What do your eyes mean?" the old Marquis shouted sternly: "Mario, what are those two lines of tears of yours? You are over thirty years old, and you still think you can defeat with tears. Chaos!"

The marquis' legitimate son was stunned. He looked at his father and couldn't stop his tears. He could only wipe the tears with his hands desperately. He shouted with the loudest voice in his life: "I understand, father! I wish you victory! May Charlemagne bless you!"

Kalad looked at this scene as if he had seen his own yesterday.

The Great Knight of the Holy Grail knew that the marquis' legitimate son in front of him had truly grown up from today on.

Just like when I lost Jules.

"May Charlemagne bless you, my son! Let's go!" Ogier took one last deep look at his son, then turned around, left with his own guards, and disappeared on the other side of the bridge.

In this way, three days later, Ferdorf ushered in Tamu Khan and his Chaos army. The old Marquis Oger of Wesen led five thousand defenders to resist desperately until the entire army was killed, and he himself also died in the battle. At the gate of the castle.

The efforts of Oger and the defenders of Ferdorf bought Nur the most precious time. Their tenacity also caused huge losses to the Chaos army, and Tamu Khan had to stay in Ferdorf. , allowing his decimated army to rest and give the Chaos Dwarves enough time to repair their war machines.

When he was preparing to march again, Nuer, one of the greatest cities in the old world, this city that belonged to Ludwig the Savior, and the southern important town of the empire, had already made all preparations for this war. , the return of Ryan and others brought all the information about the evil war machines of the Chaos army and the Chaos wizards. The Nur War Council formulated an extremely detailed battle plan for this purpose.

The judgment of fate is coming.
