082 Hope

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Excited shouts sounded on the wall of the east gate, and soon spread throughout the western outpost. The soldiers fighting suddenly shook their spirits. The originally sour arms were filled with strength as if they had taken stimulants. The weapons in their hands waved at the enemy in front of them. The robbers who had just rushed to the city had not yet stood firm, but their eyes turned dark until they died. They did not understand why they died at the hands of an exhausted enemy.

At the head of Ximen City, the adjutant who was commanding the battle lit up his eyes. After shaking a knife to cut off a head, he didn't care about the blood on his face, so he grabbed the military flag of the flag beside him, waved the flag hard, and the battle flag roared and the overture of the counterattack:

"Soldiers! Counterattack! Counterattack!!!"

"kill!"

The waving battle flag did not convey any orders, but the soldiers far away in the city walls understood the fighting spirit soaring into the sky. The momentum that was originally ready to die suddenly soared into the sky. In an instant, all the enemies rushing up the city walls were killed, and several siege ladders were also overturned by the crazy soldiers.

"Damn it, retreat!"

"Crow Blade" Shiglu spat fiercely, looking at his subordinates who were so scared that they dared not step forward, and had to issue an order to withdraw the troops.

The robbers who were hesitating under the city wall in front were like a general amnesty. They turned around and ran away, fearing that they would not run fast enough, and even threw their weapons and shields aside. As a result, hundreds of lives were harvested by the rain of arrows shot out from the city.

"Damn it!"

Shiglu spat again, pulled a confidant beside him, and whispered a few words in his ear. A trace of incredible surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he nodded and ran away.

Compared with the suppression and frustration of the siege, the soldiers in the western post were carnival. After Nodya took over the military power again, the first order was to open the prohibition order and everyone carnival!

Although today's defensive battle was won by the arrival of reinforcements, the pervasive pressure of death for the soldiers guarding the city was real and would not disappear because of a temporary victory. They needed to be released, a carnival, an unscrupulous binge drink, and needed to numb themselves with drunkenness, and to forget those pains and lost comrades.

In today's battle, the garrison of the Western Post Tower suffered great casualties. Although the overall strength of the soldiers was much stronger than that of the siege bandits, they could not withstand the tide of enemies. Just five minutes after the battle started, the soldiers suffered casualties. Fortunately, two priest teams quickly took over, saved the lives of the injured, and allowed the slightly injured to return to the battlefield quickly, so that the reinforcements could persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

In the military camp, the soldiers of the Western Post Tower were still caring, and the noise filled every corner of the Western Post Tower. However, in the room at the top of the tower, several people sat together with solemn expressions.

"Sir Earl, the garrison of the Western Post Tower is all up to you."

Nodya looked at the carnival camp outside the window with a heavy face, but the pain on his face could not be concealed.

"Don't worry, I'll be ready to defend the night attack."

Celica nodded. They had already received accurate information from the adjutant. In this battle, the robbers participated in the battle, and there was not a single intermediate professional. Moreover, the few familiar faces of the gray crow did not appear. Obviously, the real elites on the gray crow side were still dormant, and maybe they would jump out to take a new attack at any time.

What is even more worrying is that the news from the adjutant pointed out that even if no elite robber appeared in this battle, the number of people participating in the battle was still nearly a thousand, and each city wall was attacked by at least two hundred people. If it weren't for the advantage of the city wall, it might not be able to stop it for five minutes.

"Thus, after the opponent gathers the defeated troops, there will be at least nearly a thousand combat power, and nearly half of them are elite forces, and the rest are not weak hands."

Nodia looked solemn. As soon as she returned to the military camp, his IQ increased rapidly. At this time, Nodia's judgment on the battle situation was no less than that of Valkyrie Celica.

"Gray Crow itself has the elite combat power of more than 300 people. And looking at the group of cannon fodders who were called to participate in the war today, the gray Crow's side should have at least 400 elite combat power, which is a conservative estimate."

Celica's face was not very good-looking. She suddenly felt that she was too arrogant. She wanted to defeat the Gray Crow robbers who had planned for many years after leading the five hundred troops. Now it seems that she is too naive.

"And there is also the opponent's ace power."

Nodia also sighed. She thought that the small team of ace troops brought by Celica was enough to deal with all accidents, but now it seems that it is not enough, far from enough.

"Even if it is conservatively estimated, the opponent's ace power will have at least twenty people, and it does not include the caster."

Celica shook her head and followed Nodia's words. This was also the biggest shortcoming of the Western Post Tower, and there was a shortage of casters.

Celika has a spellcaster under her command, but this time she did not bring it. The two squad priests who were originally stationed had overdrawn their mental power in the previous battle and lost their spellcasting ability within at least two days.

If people are sent to Heddle Manor for help now, they will inevitably be blocked by the gray crow side. There is no difference between sending fewer people and beating dogs by meat buns. If there are many sent people, the defense of the Western Post Tower will be weakened, and even if the reinforcements are not waiting for reinforcements, they will be attacked by the gray crow.

The small temporary conference room fell silent in an instant. The current situation is a dead end. If you hold on to it, you will not see hope and seek help, it is tantamount to adding death.

"Actually, there is still a force around us."

A voice suddenly broke the solemn silence. Celika and Nodia turned their heads suddenly and looked at Soya who spoke, but Soya also turned her head and looked at the figure sitting in the corner.

Everyone followed Sawy's gaze, and the figure felt everyone's gaze. He slowly raised his head, but his appearance was still hidden in the shadow of the hood.

"KaKaKa…?"

Hearing the sound of bone rubbing, Celica's heart tightened, and her right hand couldn't help but hold onto the hilt of the sword. However, Nodia next to her pressed her shoulder and shook her head silently in response to Celica's gaze.

"Isdak, the former Winter Castle wizard, although he has been reincarnated for some reason, he still retains the memory and feelings of human beings," Sawyer briefly introduced and looked at Isdak again. "Isdak, how many subordinates have you summoned during this period?"

"Kakuk, kakaku..." (Nearly one hundred, the potion you gave me was used up, it was useless, this skeleton cannot save the Western Post.)

"What if it's an attack on the Gray Swamp Fortress?"

Sawyer spoke, and everyone in the conference room was slightly stunned. One hundred skeletons might not be worth mentioning to the army of gray crows outside the mail tower, but what if it was the Empty Grey Swamp Fortress defending the empty gray swamp?

"Attack him, he will be saved?"

Celica's eyes lit up. She obviously saw the feasibility of this plan, but then she frowned again: "No, although this little force may capture the Gray Swamp Fortress, Gray Crow can regain the Gray Swamp Fortress as long as she sends 20% of the troops, Sawyer, what about the subsequent plan?"

"Rick, how long will the bodies outside the city be handled?"

Sawyer did not answer Celica, but turned his gaze to Rick, who had been silent.

"Ah? Me?" Rick seemed to be startled, and was stunned for a while before responding: "There are about 500 robber corpses outside the city. Each one takes about two minutes to deal with. If the medicine is sufficient and all of them are processed, it will take me a whole day."

"Don't worry, they are all refined-grade potions, and the accumulation of toxins is not high, so it should be enough for you to use."

Sawyer took out a potion belt from the space, and twenty light blue mana potions were neatly arranged in the potion belt.

"Ha, enough, and I still have a hundred 2o-level corpses in my space."

Rick opened a mana potion and smelled it, nodded in satisfaction, and instantly hit Sawyer with a casual word.

One hundred corpses? Soya was speechless in an instant. You kid are here to show off your wealth, right? Not to mention the space equipment that can store a hundred corpses, even if Saya is sold in a package, it is impossible to exchange for a half-sized space equipment.

Just as Sawy and Rick were discussing the issue of dealing with the body, Celica also walked to Isdaq on the side.

"This is for you," Celia took out a defense map and handed it to Isdak, pointing to several of the places. "These places are difficult to attack, so they have always been defensive loopholes in the Gray Swamp Fortress. But I think it should not be difficult for Skeletons to attack from these places, right?"

"Kake?"

Isdaq looked at the armour map, nodded after thinking for a moment, and reached out to make a gesture of three.

"What's the meaning?"

Celica looked at Soya on the side. Soya turned her head and glanced at the defense map in Isdaq's hand. She saw a very obvious annotation of the Gray Swamp Fortress at the top. She couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Xueman didn't have any ideas about the Gray Swamp Fortress!

"He means that in three hours, the Skeleton Army will be able to reach the Grey Swamp Fortress in three hours. Now, um..." Sawyer took out his pocket watch and looked at it. "It's eight o'clock in the evening, which means that the Skeleton Army will attack at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. It's almost the time when the Grey Swamp Fortress defenders are most relaxed."

There is not much nightlife in the sky. Ordinary people have families or boyfriends and girlfriends. They may turn off the lights and do some "exercise". People in the city may ask for a glass of honey in the tavern and spend a few hours of entertainment. However, most of these activities are before 10 o'clock. After all, for people who have to get up to work at four or five o'clock in the morning, it is already late at night at 10 o'clock.

Not to mention the gray swamp fortress without any entertainment, there may be some honey wine, but it will only make the left-behind robbers even more relaxed.

"Oh?" Celica's eyes lit up, "That would be great, so our plan would be more confident."
