Chapter 49 Siege (19)

[King Castle]

Major Flitz rushed down the old castle and headed straight for the Big Wild Goose Bridge, only delaying for a while at the old Water Gate.

Because the military police in charge of guarding the old water gate were so nervous that they began to ask the military chief for a pass - this was not a good sign.

Although the main battlefield is not in the Kings Castle, even the slowest military and civilians in the city can vaguely feel that this siege battle has reached an important juncture.

The Dayan Bridge is brightly lit, and the engineers are urgently demolishing the only passage between the new city and the old city.

Flitz found the heavily armed Brigadier General Cornelis at the bridgehead.

This was the first time Flitz saw Jason Connellis change into armor, who held a simple sword and stared at the island of Maggit in the distance.

"Hiss Commander," Flitz hurriedly raised his hand to salute.

Seeing Flitz coming, Conelis withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly, "Major."

"The seven, eight, nine hundred are ready and can be on the island now," Flitz reported quickly, "Captain Leden is waiting for your order."

But Conelis did not give a reply immediately, but sighed, "What a pity."

"What a pity... what are you referring to?" Flitz asked cautiously.

"The island is very moving, and it seems that the rebels have also 'moved stones to the city walls'," Conelis was pleased and regretful, "Let me test you, Major, at this time, if you have a thousand available soldiers, where would you use it?"

"Student is dull," Flitz didn't want to waste his time, so he gave up on his answer, "please give me advice."

"If there are still a thousand available soldiers, they should attack the trenches outside the city; if there are still two thousand available soldiers, they should raid the rebel camp," Conelis shook his head, "It's a pity that we don't."

Conelis changed his tone and pondered, "But even if there is, we may not be able to break through the rebels' defense line. The rebel commander who presided over the siege was very stable. He would rather spend manpower and time than encircle the new city first. He would not want to leave us any chance. He would definitely not be able to take our troops and would firmly drag us into the war of attrition... This style is very strange..."

Flitz said nothing.

Conelis put his questions aside, held the sword that had been hung by Ned Smith's waist, and ordered in a blatant manner, "Call Laden will set out, and remind him to be careful of the rebels in the Bishop's Fort and attack the Monastery of Domoncos."

Flitz put his heels together and said he had already written down, "Are there any other orders to bring to the two lieutenant colonels?"

"What else can there be?" Conelis understands what the trainee means, but he just smiles, "Do you want to tell them that we are tearing the bridges and let them persevere until dawn anyway?"

Flitz wanted to speak but stopped.

"No need to say this nonsense, I trust the abilities and ethics of Lt. Col. Lodwick and Lt. Col. Montecukoli."

Flitz raised his hand to salute, but did not leave. "Where are the Palatus people who took over the New City defense line? Are they trustworthy?"

"No matter what, we cannot waste our precious forces on meditation," Conelis is open-minded. "So, we can only count on Grove Magnus not to be mistaken."

Flitz frowned and said in a deep voice: "That guy keeps trying to escape. If we hadn't been holding him over, he would have gone to Guitu City long ago. I don't trust him, nor do I trust his people."

Conelis gently patted the young man on the shoulder: "At this moment, we are the ones who want to escape."

...

At the same time, outside the new city of Zhuwang Castle, in a stronghold, the reserve officers stationed at the stronghold were lying on the wall, staring at the direction of Maggit Island.

Hou Deer and the other two were among them. Instead of hudging with the others, they found a position to get off the side. Although their vision was not good, there were few people, so they could whisper.

In fact, no matter how good the vision is, it doesn't make sense.

Due to the obstruction of the river bank, it was impossible for the reserve officers to see Maggit Island at all.

But everyone still couldn't help but poke their heads out of the wall, searching for every flash of light on the horizon, and listening to the sounds coming from afar.

Until the thunder and lightning came to silence.

"Is there no movement?" Little Ma Jiya was a little anxious and kept biting her ears and asked, "Is the fight finished?"

"How could it be so fast," Claude sneered, "that the Unionist is too careless."

"So what's going on? Why is there no movement?"

"Who knows?" Claude shrugged, "There are so many strange things on the battlefield. If you are tired of fighting, it's normal to take a break and fight again and again."

"Anyway," Houdel interrupted unhappily, "and it's a fight, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Then why did you get us here? Give us weapons?" Xiao Jiya was very confused. "You won't let us sleep?"

"Who knows if I don't say the baby face?" Houdel snorted softly.

"Didn't you ask?"

The sudden magnetic sound in his ears scared the three of them into a cold sweat.

At some point, the baby face had already walked behind them.

Hou Deer and the other two immediately fell silent.

"Disrespect to the teacher," the baby face still smiled, "You're deducted one point."

"Yes," Houdel had too many lice and didn't bite, "But can you tell us why we were here tonight?"

"No," Babyface simply refused, "It's important, you are not qualified to know."

The three students seemed to have a basin of cold water poured on their heads, and immediately became listless.

However, the baby face that extinguished the fire of hope still showed a little breath, "Don't you know Richard Mason better than me? Major never wastes things. He puts you here, and he must have his intention."

Baby-faced glanced at the Kings Castle in the night and said quietly, "Maybe, I can still borrow your light and become the first to enter the Kings Castle."

"Ah?" Xiao Ma Jiya didn't understand or didn't hear it clearly, subconsciously widened her eyes, "Step into the Kings Castle?"

This time, the students next to them attracted all the gazes.

"Roar loudly," said the baby face with a smile, "you're deducted one point."

Xiao Ma Jiya couldn't say anything, so she could only shut up and salute.

"Do you mean?" Claude tried hard to lower his voice, still unable to hide his excitement. "Maybe we can take the castle of the kings tonight?"

"I didn't say this," the baby face chuckled.

"That's..." Claude thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively, "Enter the city?"

"Who knows?" replied the baby face lightly, "If you have good luck, maybe you can."

When Claude heard the answer he wanted, he suddenly grabbed Houdel's shoulder and shook it hard, "Did you hear it? Monkey?"

Houdel was not excited at all, like a pillar, no matter how Claude shook, he couldn't move, because he remembered what the other party said when he first met Babyface.

"Captain of the District," Houdel asked carefully, "Is your home... in the Kings Castle?"

Baby face raised her eyebrows and looked Houdeer up and down. After a moment, he sighed softly, "For your blessing, maybe I will be able to go home soon..."

Having got used to the baby-faced evil smile, the other party rarely showed his true feelings, Hou Deer and the other party were a little at a loss.

"It's great," Claude scratched his head, "You still have a home, unlike me and monkeys, we both have no home."

"That's right, that's right," Xiao Ma Jiya spoke next to her.

Houdel immediately gave one elbow to each side.

Babyface laughed a few times, nodded at the three of them, and turned around to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, he turned around and said earnestly to the three of them, especially to Houdel:

"Don't waste your energy on fighting with some people. If the battle is over, then go to your school with peace of mind. After going to school, your life will become completely different. As for those people, ignore them, they will be screened out sooner or later."

Claude and Pony Jiya nodded in a daze.

But Houdel's attention was elsewhere, "Screen out? You mean, not everyone can graduate?"

"Who told you that everyone can graduate?" Babyface showed an iconic smile again, "Or why would I deduct your points?"

...

Meanwhile, on "Kings Castle", Groni Misha saw a little light on opposite the trench.

The lights then began to flash regularly.
