Chapter 24 The Operation is as Fierce as a Tiger

The sky was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the air revealed a trace of violent turmoil. Below the city, a group of knights in the distance was running towards the gate of the fortress. Behind them was a number of hundreds of knights and soldiers running, and the most eye-catching thing was probably the thing in the sky behind them.

"Two-footed dragon!" A soldier called out the creature's name.

"The French are coming! Ring the big bell!" Another soldier immediately alerted the compatriots not far away.

Several soldiers standing by the big bell immediately struck the alarm vigorously, and the sound of the bell came to the entire fortress, and all the soldiers were in a state of readiness for a while.

On the plain thousands of meters away, more than a dozen flying dragons and hundreds of soldiers were chasing the dozens of soldiers in Britain ahead. The situation is very urgent, but the people on the wall can't see the person being pursued. They can only be judged by their outline to be British.

"You, soldier!" Lucifer called the nearest young soldier next to him.

"Yes, king!" the soldier saluted.

"Do you know the identity of this person?" Lucifer waved his hand as he said. An ice crystal mirror that was as high as a person was formed beside him, and there was playing the appearance of being chased in the distance.

A white-haired knight was being chased. He looked very anxious, and he was injured in many places.

"Commander Siegfried! He is commander Siegfried! commander Siegfried is not dead!" The soldier yelled out of joy when he saw it.

At this time St. Georgios also came to the wall, he walked to Lucifer and reported.

"My king, Siegfried, he is the most outstanding commander under my team and the guard of the White Rock Fortress. When the White Rock Fortress fell before, at the same time his death was heard. We originally thought..."

The erroneous transmission of information made Georgios mistakenly think that Siegfried was dead, and he had not thought about searching before.

"It seems that he is not dead. I have to find a way to support them." However, in Lucifer's view. There may be something hidden in this, maybe even Siegfried's current appearance is the bait deliberately released by the other party.

"I will send someone out of the city immediately!"

"No, this can't work. Don't you think it's weird, Since Siegfried is so important, why did the other party only send so many people to chase after him? Hundreds of people are like coming to die.

Although there are two-footed flying dragons, the number of opponents is too small. Once the people in the fortress support thousands of people, they will be resolved immediately. Siegfried has already run here, and the sensible approach should be to retreat and give up the prey instead of chasing. unless…

"What do you mean? This is a trap!"

"Maybe they want to use Siegfried's life to do something? The opponent's leader is very interesting. He knows that we can't leave Siegfried alone and will definitely save him. And what he needs is..." Lucifer motioned to her feet.

"The time we opened the gates."

"That's right! If I guessed correctly, there should be enemy troops around that would have touched it a long time ago. They may be hidden through magical illusions. As long as we open the city gates, they will immediately start attacking. You can lay down this city gate and hold it for a period of time to wait for the arrival of the army." Lucifer calmly analyzed the current situation.

The situation in front of him is very delicate. If they don't go out to save Siegfried, they will definitely act as if they really killed the seriously injured Siegfried. This will undoubtedly shake the military's mind, especially when the soldiers in the fortress kill him in front of king. This makes people feel that the new king and St. Georgios are incompetent, and even important commander can't be saved.

Stakes! With this method, it is no wonder that the White Rock Fortress in Britain can be breached. Lothar? Is a good opponent.

"Damn it! This way, you won't be able to open the gate to rescue Siegfried." St. Georgios fist hit the wall next to him.

If this is the case, then you can't risk losing the fortress to rescue Siegfried. In this regard, Lucifer has a different view.

"No, rescue is okay. But the layout needs to be changed. The wall of this fortress was originally divided into inner and outer layers, isn't it? Now that we know the opponent's actions, we can also arrange accordingly."

This fortress was designed with the possibility of losing the outer wall in mind, so there is also a wall inside. Of course, if under normal circumstances, the outer city was breached frontally, the inner city would not be able to support it for long. But if the opponent is playing a sneak attack...this design is enough to bury them.

Hearing Lucifer's words, Georgios eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Lucifer's meaning.

"I understand. I will immediately transfer the main force here for layout."

"Yes! It's best to put the magic giant crossbow directly at the gate of the city and give them a surprise!"

"Yes!"

"The Duke of Saint Georgios, the defense of the wall will be left to you. I will personally verify the strength of France."

Outside the city wall, the chase continued. The seriously injured Siegfried couldn't support it for long.

And there is a forest somewhere ten thousand meters away from the main entrance of the fortress. This area is shrouded in magic, making it impossible to see the inside, and this is where Lothar French front line command is located, surrounded by knights standing guard.

Lothar looked more than forty years old, with Durandal, the head of the twelve holy swords of France, on his waist. There are two young men beside him. They are Anseis, who is also one of the twelve knights, and the eldest son of the current king Pepin, who is also named Pepin.

[T/N: I don't know if this Lothar is king of French name or Roland one of twelve paladin member because to me they have similar tone, and Roland is the wielder of Durandal. Hey maybe you have different opinion about this?

Pepin the short is current king]

Piping, the dwarf, gave his name to the prince and at the same time gave the Flying Dragon Legion, which is enough to prove his love for this son. In contrast, other princes, such as Charlemagne and Louis, did not receive much love from the king.

Because Pepin was not one of the twelve knights but got one of the twelve holy swords, what Anses got was not one of the twelve holy swords of France, but a holy sword that the dwarf king found. Its name is Excalibur.

[And also who is this Anseis, he had Excalibur? Maybe he just author sacrifice for mc to get Excalibur LOL]

It is said that this sword is a similar weapon based on the sword of the king of Britain in the old empire.

"I said, old fellow, is it necessary to make this trouble? I deliberately let Siegfried off, and I squatted here a day in advance. I was covered with moss. If I want to say that there is my flying dragon army, I will directly charge. In the past, it wouldn't be enough to smash everything in front of you." The arrogant face with short blond hair is Pepin, and his tone is very bad.

Anseis frowned instinctively, he said instead of Lothar.

"The marshal just doesn't want to cause too much damage. Moreover, I heard that the new king of Britain has been selected and has been rushed to the Dragonscale Fortress. The storm will pay huge damage."

"You shut up, I didn't ask you again. I asked him."

"Perhaps you should learn to be polite before calling someone to discuss it. Your Royal Highness!" Lothar sighed and finally spoke.

He always thought that the prince's personality was very problematic. Of course, maybe he still has a little level in the battle, but that is more of an equipment advantage, not much. The king threw him here to pay for it.
