And when she just finished speaking, she saw Ruby suddenly grinning, which looked really funny. Diana had no countermeasures for this, so she could only continue to hold back her smile and slowly follow Erica and the others towards safety.

Walk to the other side of the district.

Meanwhile, in the north near Mariencastle.

Aledo is leading his troops to storm a small fortress just west of Mariencastle, and this is the first gateway to Mariencastle. Whether it is to attack Mariencastle or attack the surrounding areas,

All other areas must pass through here.

Originally, the defense here was handed over to a special battle group in Mary Castle. However, due to the heavy losses suffered by the wolf regiment before, a large number of injured people needed to stay here for first aid, so the number of people stationed in the fortress was far away.

It far exceeded Aledo's previous estimate, and because of the presence of the wolf regiment, the offensive battle went on for a whole morning, but still no troops of our own had reached the fortress wall.

The failure of the attack was not only a huge consumption of manpower and materials, but also caused a big blow to the morale of the current troops. After all, this was Aledo's second battle. If he failed this time, then he might have

Most of the troops will lose control. Let alone the war against the Principality of Michael, it is estimated that Aledo will probably face a collapse of the front line or even a mutiny.

This result is not an exaggeration at all, because Aledo has received protests from the commanders of several companies on the front line from the beginning. After a morning of storming, he still has not climbed onto the city wall. This result is not called a failure.

It's not an exaggeration, not to mention that according to the investigation of the spies, although there are a large number of enemies in this western fortress, most of them are seriously injured members of the wolf regiment. The limit for them to be able to barely stand on the city wall is already high, and the remaining

The ones who came down were just the second-rate guards of Maria Castle. It is said that the elite garrison has been transferred back to Maria Castle to set up defenses, so Aledo dared to attack here. He originally hoped to use this victory to save things.

Morale was good before, but judging from the current results, the results seem to be getting worse.

The storming method used by Aledo's team was not to use musketeers to forcibly climb the city wall, because before that, he had ordered the artillery position to blast open the fortress gate and two weak walls. But in the end, he was attacking this

At the third location, they encountered desperate resistance from the guards inside. After all, in such a narrow place, a smoothbore flintlock gun was not as effective as a dagger, so this resulted in a protracted attack on the city wall. As for the method of storming the city wall, it was only just now

It's just a small change made in response to the anxious battle line. The purpose is to disperse the enemy's forces inside so that the infantry below can reduce the pressure. But obviously, it seems that this method will not work, but will drag down other forces.

soldiers and continues to lower the morale of the entire army.

Facing the increasingly anxious fierce battle, Aledo's patience and calmness were exhausted. He stood behind the battle line and looked at the corpses and wounded being carried out from the fortress gate in front, gritting his teeth and putting down his telescope.

"Send the order! Let Hercules..."

"Report!"

Before Aledo could give his order, a messenger suddenly rushed behind him.

"What's the matter?" Aledo asked, frowning.

"Your Excellency Brighton has arrived with the Nosk army..." the messenger said excitedly.

The generals around Aledo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the reinforcements arrived, because although everyone looked down on Nosk's group of civilian levies who used cold weapons, their impact would obviously be reduced at this time.

The pressure of the crowd can add some hope of victory. After all, Aledo's musketeers have suffered heavy losses, and even his cronies feel that they should not continue to consume them.

Aledo seemed to be the only person present who did not feel the slightest joy. At least in his opinion, he had broken up with Brighton last night. At this moment, he should take the Nosk people back to the Salanka Pass. Why?

Will he come to the front line inexplicably?

Aledo was slightly doubtful, but under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, he still compromised and planned to meet with Brighton first. But just after he walked a few steps back, he suddenly saw an angry face.

Brighton strode towards him.

"you……"

"boom--"

Just as Aledo was about to speak, he was suddenly knocked to the ground by a punch from Brighton. Then, without waiting for Aledo and his men to react, Brighton directly grabbed him by the collar and knocked him to the ground.

Pulled up.
