The first round of siege has ended.

Without the help of siege equipment, relying solely on manpower, even with heavy iron armor coverings.

Even if you are completely unafraid of death.

Louis XIV's army still did not make much progress.

The tenacity and strength of the Luoye City Lord's Mansion as the core of the entire city is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Crowds of accumulation and generations of efforts.

Even when Puerto Rico was completely inferior in its military strength and its troops were completely suppressed, it firmly defended this wave of attack.

And he doesn't have any tools to defend the city.

"Sir, retreat, no sight of the sword." The loyal Flynn persuaded him, looking at the dark enemy troops under the city.

From a loyal perspective, he is really impeccable.

"Retreat..." Puerto Rico shook his head and said with a slutty smile, "Where can I retreat?"

"There is no way behind..." He said this sentence lightly, slowly, very -

despair.

Flynn couldn't help feeling silly.

But he didn't expect that Puerto Rico had a rare heroic spirit at this moment.

He said: "So, if I don't retreat, I will stand here, I... want to see tomorrow's dawn!!!"

He said this and looked down.

Because there was also a man who never retreated.

Louis XIV.

He seemed to have not felt Puerto Rico's gaze.

He looked at the seemingly difficult to break the city wall, but just raised his eyelids slightly.

The defeat in the first offensive was not beyond his expectations, and he could fully accept the result.

In fact, what he is concerned about now is not the question of whether he can break through the city in front of him.

Because it is almost inevitable to break the city.

What he is concerned about is those hiding in the dark.

Those who are preparing to be the oriole.

I have to say that this is really a chess step that is so dangerous that it cannot be more dangerous.

Of course he knew that as long as he did, he would become the target of public criticism and all the spearheads would be pointed at him.

But he has no choice.

He could only use strong attacks to force people in the dark to take action.

This is the fastest, but also the most dangerous move.

Even if there is a little more time, Louis XIV would not use such a dangerous move.

Because this is entirely a bet on the last number of the Prechedian royal family.

But he has no time anymore.

From the moment he decided to send troops, the hourglass of his destiny had entered the countdown.

He had no idea when those hidden undercurrents would come out to snipe his destiny.

He could only plunge his head into the deep sea without caring about it, and he would sink to the bottom of the sea even if he died.

Now, there is only the last bit of sand left in the hourglass.

He stood there as if he could hear the sound of sand passing by his ears.

He had no power to stop him, so he could only stand and wait for the most terrifying impacts.

Stand until death.

"Boom——" with another neat step sound.

The second round of offense began.

This time, his subordinates used temporary plundered house materials and made simple siege equipment, which seemed to be aspiring to win.

————————————

"Wait a little longer."

Ji, who had already driven the Ninja Legion to the outside of the fallen leaf city, did not take action.

He is still waiting.

Behind him are a group of silent elders of the Balanced Sect.

Everyone present here understands that in fact, no matter the winning or losing of this battle, the balanced sect will be greatly hit.

It’s good to win, but it’s very likely to bear the reputation of regicide. Even if it can be pushed to outsiders at that time, it’s hard to explain.

If you lose, although the thousand-year-old great sect will not be destroyed. However, the talents in the church will die and the talents will wither, which will also be a decline in the teaching that has not been seen in a thousand years. In addition, in recent years, due to the resistance of the promises, the sect has been in danger.

Xusas is not strong, and the name of balance is falling, and there is also a shadow flowing with great enemies in the world. In his silence, he may be able to stop the decline.

But once Ji Zhen dies, I am afraid he will really be in a slump.

So everyone was silent.

For the dark future as dark as this night.

"Maybe we shouldn't have come. If we had turned back to Tianwang Mountain..." After a long silence, someone could not help but say it.

"What are you talking about? Are you wondering Lord Ji? You are bold!!!"

"Actually what he said is not unreasonable. Originally, the foreign enemy was small. If we take down Tianwang Mountain and eliminate future troubles, then we can advance and attack and retreat and defend, and we will not end up in the current situation..."

"You can't say that. Lord Ji's decision was also for my balanced aura. But who would have thought that Louis' child would betray us and attack us regardless of the overall situation. They should have shocked us..."

"What's the use of saying this now? Alas..."

"well……"

Ji just listened to these words quietly and slowly closed his eyes.

He was not angry. He just flowed his eyes with fatigue of his age.

He is tired.

very tired.

Seeing Ji and Silence, everyone slowly closed their mouths, feeling nervous.

No matter what, silence is always the supreme existence of the balanced sect.

Many of them began to realize where did they get the courage to say that?

A long time later, Ji opened his eyes again and said calmly: "Are you finished talking? Is there anything else I want to say?"

No one answered, and everyone lowered their heads tremblingly.

"Then attack." Still calm.

Or despair?

——————————————

"Have he not come yet?"

In the temporary tent, most of the senior executives of the Ionian coalition were already present:

Kalma, Arriya, Balzac, Kennan, Akali.

Only Chen Senran was missing, so he had not been present for a long time.

"He won't come." Kalma said in silence.

The whole audience was silent as soon as these words came out, because there were too many things hidden behind this sentence that could not be said explicitly.

"He... won't." After pausing for a while, Arrelia finally spoke for Chen Senran.

But Barza was silent more and more, as if he had already made up for something.

At this moment, the soldier who went to invite Chen Senran came back.

The answer he brought back was Chen Senran, and Li Qing and Graves disappeared.

It was gone, and even Arella's face turned pale.

Because she had to admit that maybe...

"General Barr, go." Karma suddenly spoke, "We have fought side by side after all, and you have saved my life, so let's go."

"...Okay." Balzac nodded, without saying anything, and began to walk out. When he was about to go out, he whispered, "Take care too, maybe meet next time..."

Maybe he didn't continue to talk to each other next time he met.

But everyone knows what he is going to say, but that word is too hurtful.

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

In the entire tent, Arrelia was the only one who murmured in a daze: "He won't..." (To be continued...)
