At this moment, everyone present was thankful that the Prince of Cormyr had a tough life...

If His Highness Altais was really killed under the wheels of a carriage, I am afraid that the biggest diplomatic accident in the thousand years since the founding of Zeelandia and the founding of Cormyr would have occurred.

Even Leviathan, whose heart is made of energy cores, couldn't help but admire the protective resources Cormier invested in this prince.

In the violent speed of 740 kilometers per hour in the previous moment, even the Balor Balrog would have been knocked out with stomach bleeding or something. However, the Prince of Cormyr who was thrown into the wheel from the front had nothing but scars on his face.

There's nothing wrong with a wheel crease...

However, due to the urgent military situation and in order to alleviate everyone's embarrassment, Prince Altais pushed back Master Susar who was about to rush to help him and a group of Purple Dragon Guards who almost had a heart attack and staggered to their feet.

He wiped all the car folds on his face with the silk scarf he brought with him, as if nothing like this happened, shook hands with Yi Lewen and Kike who still hadn't recovered, and said:

"I am Altace, the garrison commander of Cormyr's current Tiffanton City. First of all, thank you for buying precious time for the refugees, Tiffinton, and Cormyr. If you have any needs or important information, you can speak to me directly.

."

Yi Lewen glanced at the garrison commander who was called "Your Highness" with approval and said:

"The military situation is urgent. Let's go to the top of the city to help defend. Let's talk as we go."

"good!"

Altais showed no airs about being a prince, and immediately hurried side by side with this strange-looking 'elf ranger' along the spiral staircase to the city.

The Purple Dragon Guards of Cormyr were about to follow their footsteps when they heard a sudden metallic twisting and groaning sound nearby. Several gears and broken components flew out, and a wheel rolled over.

Then in their disbelieving eyes, the steam locomotive produced in Zelandia actually transformed into a shield dwarf carrying a long-handled war hammer.

He walked up to the crowd with some staggering steps, hung the deformed wheel behind his back, and followed them with curses:

"I can't understand! Why would I design such a backward form.

"I would rather have another variant of the Constructor, replacing his hands with two Sabot machine launchers.

"Ah, my head must have been watts at that time!"

Sister Sylvaras glanced at Ellini beside her in confusion, but the latter also shrugged, indicating that she did not understand what the other party was saying...

I wondered if it was because I and His Majesty Levi had been separated for too long that there was a gap in thinking and logic?

Well...when this battle is over, I must stay by Mr. Long's side and catch up on Zelandia's anecdotes.

But as they climbed to the top of the city and saw the demonic army pressing in from the distance, the joy of charging with Levis in a remote place was quickly suppressed by the urgency of the war, leaving only tension and solemnity.

Under the previous devastating blow of Leviathan and Zeke, a large gap was cleared of the demons in the pass, which greatly reduced the pressure on the city defense when the demon army first came into contact.

But just for a while, more demons from the distance came over from the Cormanso Forest like a tide, and you could even faintly feel the city wall under your feet beginning to tremble.

As the vibrations grew stronger, the demonic army, like a creeping black tide, slowly approached Tifantun City.

Humans on the surface were also fortunate enough to witness the demonic offensive on the bloody battlefield for the first time in the main material plane.

Among them, those at the front are basically the weaker original demons, abnormal demons and quasai demons, and they also hold some cowardly demons who are trying to escape from this place.

If placed on a bloody battlefield, these little demons would be nothing more than cannon fodder used to consume the devil's large-scale attack methods and physical strength. At the same time, the corpses could also alleviate the devil's own devouring desire.

But even this cannon fodder army, which seemed 'weak' among the demons, brought unprecedented visual impact and psychological pressure to the Cormyr defenders, which was no less shocking than facing hundreds of thousands of troops.

What's more, behind these cannon fodder is the main force of the demon army:

The demon-hunting spiders leaping from the mountains on both sides, the vultures attacking from the sky like vultures, the four-armed Eviscerate, and the toad-faced Kuezhan who stood out among the demons because of his majestic body.

magic.

Normally, these existences can cause huge damage even if they appear due to the summons of the Dark Believer. They are all existences that require the joint efforts of mid-to-high-level professionals to solve them. However, at this moment, they appear in groups.

So when Altais saw this, he realized how naive and ridiculous his previous ambitions were.

Not to mention that Tifanton City only has 6,000 regular garrison troops and the 800 Purple Dragon Guards he carries at the moment. Even if the entire 60,000-strong Northern Territory army is mobilized here, they may not be able to hold it for long.

Yes...under such an offensive, it is only a matter of time before the city is defeated.

This is so similar to the scene in the dream...

Just when Altais was in a daze, Yi Lewin said loudly:

"I need to know your original battle plan!"

Altais was refreshed and quickly said truthfully:

"I have asked the gryphon knights to fly to the royal capital with a letter asking for help. By then, our Kingdom of Cormyr will definitely come to the rescue with all its strength. However, due to the intense war in the south due to the undead natural disaster, the estimated number of troops is only about 60,000."

Yi Lewin asked: "How long will it take?"

Altais' face was full of worry: "We have made a rapid march from the port of Arabay. Among them, the fastest 10,000 purple dragon cavalry regiment will not arrive until noon tomorrow! The infantry regiment will take two days, I'm afraid..."

Sure enough, Yi Lewen shook his head and directly expressed the possibility that he was most worried about:

"It's too late, this city simply can't last that long.

"To charge a cavalry regiment against demons in the wilderness...is tantamount to death."

Just when Altais's face turned pale, he heard Yi Lewin continue:

"Have the Griffin Knights send another urgent message, ask the Arabey garrison to abandon the port of Neihu, and all northern reinforcements will gather towards the Stormhorn Mountains to build defenses in preparation for the flow of refugees."

When everyone, including Altais and Ellini, expressed doubts, Mage Susar on the side seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped his hands and said:

"Devils are 'afraid of water'. With the natural barrier between the Asaba River and the inner lake, the safety of the royal capital is safe for the time being, but by then the tide of demons will inevitably circle towards the Stormhorn Mountains! This method is feasible, Your Highness."

It is said that demons are not really afraid of water, but because the large rivers and lakes in the lower plane are often formed by the Styx River. The characteristics of the water of the Styx are that it will constantly erode the souls of living creatures, causing their memories to be constantly washed away and forgotten.

.

Therefore, even demons have an instinctive reverence for the River Styx, so much so that they will not wade into the river or lake unless absolutely necessary.

But soon his face turned pale:

"But if there are no reinforcements... what will we do?"

Yi Lewen looked at the tide of demons below the city head and said:

"Hold on until dawn, there will be reinforcements."

Altais naturally believed that this 'Elf Warrior' would not be wrong, but...

He smiled bitterly: "But since we have less than 7,000 defenders, even if we mobilize the militia... I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it for even an hour."

But this time, before Yi Lewin could speak, Sylvaras stepped out from the crowd, drew out her scimitar and said:

"It seems that His Highness Altais is not very good at mathematics. We elves have never had the habit of sheltering behind humans!

"The remnants of the Wind Whisperers! Follow me!"

The next moment, a war cry echoed in the city:

"Life is worth fighting for!"

So under the shocked eyes of the Tifanton defenders, these blood-stained elf rangers who were supposed to be recuperating in the city strode up the stairs to the top of the city with neat steps.

In just a moment, all the positions of the militiamen and the peacocks were filled. With a clang, they all pulled out the scimitars at their waists and looked at the incoming demon army with joy and fearlessness:

"For the lost glory of Mith Drannor!"

At that moment, the originally frightened Tiffinton defenders looked at the backs of these elf rangers, feeling inexplicably relieved and feeling inexplicably guilty.

It seems that I recall what my ancestors mentioned...

Thousands of years ago, humans and elves joined hands to lay a standing stone and an oath on the Moon-Sea Highway.
