Dempsey was happy after learning that Arnold would lead the army. ?? Although it is a bit unpleasant to not get your own units as reinforcements, anyway, a corps of 4,500 people is already quite good in overall strength.
It is particularly worth mentioning that although Arnold's Legion is not as strong as the siege corps in Chaos City, it is by no means a fish corps. After years of support, coupled with his own more or less some knowledge, Dempsey believes that Arnold's troops still have a certain combat effectiveness.
There are still thousands of people in his own hands. Counting Arnold's troops, he should be able to stand still in Iron Nail Post.
As for what happened after that ... Dempsey didn't think too much, and it didn't help to think more. At that time, it still depends on what the upper-level decision makers planned. If the south is the main target of attack, then throw in strength and continue to fight; if it is mainly defense, it will add more troops to come in.
Anyway, anyway, Dempsey's goal now is to support Arnold's arrival as much as possible. After converging with Arnold, he and Dane have a good deal in Tiegangang, and wait for the situation to change.
Twenty-six, Twenty-seven, for two days, he repelled the offensive of Dion's Army, making Dempsey somewhat relieved. The thing he was most afraid of was that Dane would take the momentum of the city center and attack the south of the city directly. But fortunately, my preparation in advance still has some effect. Of course, the turtle's defense in the south of the city is certainly not foolproof, but at least it is stable.
He can also see that if Dane attacked with all his strength, regardless of the cost of casualties, he would certainly not be able to keep these current defense positions. But he could also see that Dane couldn't do that, and he was wary of casualties. This is the only reliance that Dempsey can rely on.
Mobilize the troops and arrange the defense points according to the terrain of the area under control ... It was another night of busyness, and Dempsey was waiting for the third day of fighting. As long as it survives today and tomorrow, I believe that before the first day of November, Arnold's legion will reach the city one step ahead. At that time, my stress will not be so great!
On the 28th, several blocks, towers, and houses suitable for defense, which were designated as the first point of defense by Dempsey in the south of the city, have been waiting for the fierce battle of the new day.
However, until it was dark, nothing happened.
Dion ’s legion did not attack as vigorously as expected by Dempsey. Some small units moved some tentative offensives. Of course, it was impossible to achieve anything under the strict defense of Dempsey ’s troops. Dion ’s troops also seemed to be unconcerned, and after two fights, they had no chance to fight, and they retreated quite decisively.
Until dark, Dempsey's defense line in the south of the city was hardly tested. In today's fighting, the number of dead and injured on both sides may be less than ten.
Obviously, he has spent a day in peace, but Dempsey's heart is not half happy: such an abnormal situation is completely different from what Dempsey expected. Is this good? He doesn't think so! When things go wrong, there must be monsters. From many of Dane's past records, Dempsey can see that it must not be a good character to deal with. He believes that the reason why Dane did not move, it must have been a plan elsewhere!
Turning his head, Dempsey thought of Arnold's reinforcements still on the road.
His complexion instantly became very unsightly, and there was almost an urge to immediately lead the army to retreat and escape.
If Dane really focuses on Arnold's reinforcements and chooses to surround them, then things will be bad. The strength of Dion's troops, in these days of fighting, Dempsey has personal experience. Unprepared Arnold, in an unguarded wasteland, during the march, if he was attacked by Dane ... he is not optimistic that Arnold can win.
Something must be done!
Dempsey thought so, he anxiously paced back and forth at the table, but couldn't think of any way-he was still trapped in the city, what could he do to save Arnold's troops?
After thinking about it for a long time, he thought of a solution that was not the solution:
"Colonel Hammer!"
His chief of staff walked in from outside the house: "What's wrong, Lord Warlord?"
"Let those bats fly into the sky, fly north at all costs, find me Arnold's troops, warn them, be careful to march, Dane may have launched a raid on them!"
Hearing what Dempsey said, he also knew how important Arnold ’s support army was to the current Iron Nail Post. Hammer changed his face too ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He did n’t have time to salute Dempsey and turned around to convey the order .
Half an hour later, Hammer knocked on Dempsey's door again.
Looking at the pale face of his chief of staff, Dempsey's heart was also abrupt. He insisted on a serious attitude and asked, "What happened?"
"Once our battalion was lifted off, we were met by the enemy's gryphon, and they were all gone ..."
Dempsey's mouth twitched, and he almost gasped.
"Too much bullying!" He yelled, all with a sense of weakness.
It's already night, and it should have been the best time for the Battalion. He just wanted the little bats to send a letter as a reminder, but he didn't expect Dane to do that.
He is now 100% sure that Dane on the other side of the city must be following Arnold's troops! Otherwise, how could it be against the Battalion in the middle of the night? You know, the most special feature of Batriders is that they are good at night. He dared to pack tickets. Those griffins who intercepted the bat cavalry were bound to be equipped with the corresponding mage power, and only then detected the movement of the bat at night.
"Master Overseer ... what shall we do now?" Hammer asked cautiously.
Dempsey glared at him and said, "What else can I do? Keep me dead and defend the city! Dane may not be able to defeat Arnold. After all, Arnold's combat effectiveness is not weak. We are here to stand. As long as we keep it, there is hope. Arnold's troops will definitely arrive! "
There were words in his mouth that he didn't believe, but if not, Dempsey really didn't know what he could say and do. 8
