After being bombarded by fire giants, the dust inside the fortress of Nisesi flew, and the roar almost deafened people's ears.
The officers and soldiers hiding in the fortress, filled with fear and despair, can drive people alive crazy!
Some young officers and soldiers, unable to bear such great mental pressure, suddenly picked up their weapons and screamed out of the door.
Rather rush out to fight with the fire giant, rather than be buried alive in this fortress that will collapse and collapse!
It's a pity that their strength can't be matched with courage. Just after rushing out of the gate of the fortress, they were knocked down by the oncoming boulders, adding a cruel color to this catastrophe.
In just five minutes, the Fire Giant’s mercenary regiment has launched three rounds of bombing on the fortress of Nisesi.
This fortress, which took more than half a month to build, is indeed strong. Unfortunately, it is still too fragile in the face of countless meteorites. If it continues to withstand the fire giants’ bombardment, it will collapse completely for a maximum of ten minutes. Officers and soldiers hiding in the fortress will also escape the doom of burial.
Joan is also in the fort at the moment. As a member of the defending army, he is also desperate. He deeply feels how small human beings are in the face of powerful creatures such as fire giants, as vulnerable as ants.
Of course, compared to those who have no way around, his situation is not so helpless.
If the fortress can't escape after all, at least he can use spells to escape.
Joan is not too worried about his survival. What makes him feel at a loss is a difficult multiple choice question:
When the fortress falls, if you still have the power to rescue your comrades from the trap, who should rescue first?
Joanne had to face the cruel reality.
With his spell-casting ability, he can rescue up to four or five people from being trapped at the same time. Compared with all the comrades trapped in the fortress, this is only a one-hundred percent chance of life, and to whom these precious places are allocated is entirely up to him Decide.
Joan suddenly felt angry and funny.
It's funny because at the juncture of a catastrophe, you actually have the opportunity to play the "savior", which is really ridiculous.
He felt angry because his "savior" was not capable of saving all sentient beings. He could only save a few lives while saving his own life.
No matter who he chooses to rescue, the majority is always abandoned.
The fact that he was forced to abandon those comrades in arms and pains was destined to leave unhealable wounds in his heart, which made him deeply feel that all human suffering is essentially anger at his incompetence.
Just when Joan was entangled in the mood, there was a roar outside the window, and the sky darkened.
At first, he thought it was the sound of the fire giant throwing stones at the fortress, but the tide from the window made him quickly realize that this was not the case.
The autumn sun was covered by overcast clouds, with lightning flashes and thunder as a guide, and the rainstorm followed.
This sudden thunderstorm delayed the fall of the fortress of Nisesi.
The Fire Giant mercenaries do not like to fight in the rain. In a humid environment, their body temperature will drop sharply, their bodies will become dull due to cold and humidity, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
General Nalver noticed a sudden change in the weather, immediately blew his horn, summoned the frontline mercenaries to withdraw before the heavy rain fell, and hid in the cabin of the magic ship "Scibrani" to avoid the rain. Continue to fight.
General Zhu Mengville was not satisfied with the practice of "choosing the pick" after half the battle of the Fire Giant mercenaries. However, the other party insisted on waiting until Tian Qing to fight again, and he could do nothing.
He had to order his troops to move forward, surrounding the Nissi Fortress, which had lost its walls and guards, and left a lone city, in case the enemy troops would break through the rain.
General Jumonville’s arrangements were indeed prescient.
Shortly after the withdrawal of the Fire Giant mercenary regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Vasa found Major Green, Magni and Joan, and proposed the idea of breaking through the rain.
Everyone thinks this is the only chance to get out of trouble. Once the rain stops, it will be too late to break through.
Unfortunately, General Jumonville acted faster than them. Lieutenant Colonel Vasa and Magni led the Knights and Asa Hunter separately to break through. However, as soon as the troops left the fortress, they hit the Shanghai Blue Cavalry and the Jackals.
The side of the breakout is at a disadvantage in terms of strength and morale. Coupled with the heavy rain that hinders the vision, the muddy battlefield makes the breakout difficult.
After a short and fierce encounter, the two forces led by Vaasa and Magni failed to break through and were forced to withdraw to the Nisesi fortress.
Joan did not participate in the breakout.
If he wants to go, he can go at any time.
Before leaving, he also wanted to repair the fortress destroyed by the fire giant as much as possible.
Unfortunately, the fortress was too heavily damaged, and exhausting the energy of the "stone wand" only repaired the cracks on the ceiling.
Joanne knew his work didn't make much sense.
The results of the hard repairs are no match for the giant fire who threw a few stones, but at least the ceiling is now leak-free, and wounded soldiers lying on the fortress floor can be less punished.
The sound of horseshoes came from outside the window, and the failed troops were forced to withdraw.
Joan clearly felt that the morale had fallen to the bottom of the trough after the troops suffered repeated blows, and the air in the fortress was almost frozen.
Many young officers and soldiers have lost the courage to continue fighting. The trembling palms are unable to hold the sword. They can only grab the hip flask and use alcohol to ease the fear of failure and death.
In this desperate atmosphere awaiting execution, Joan heard familiar footsteps behind him.
Looking back, Dick came over, the right arm of the bandage was bleeding, and the pale face was very haggard.
"Joan, Lieutenant Colonel invites you to a command post."
"Okay, I'll go by now."
Joan patted Dick's shoulder and wanted to say something encouraging, but he didn't even say a word.
Joan hurried up to the second floor of the fortress and walked all the way, with a cool whizzing overhead.
The ceiling on the second floor was already incomplete, and wind and rain poured in through the cracked gap, and Joan had to pull up his cloak and hood to cover the wind and rain.
The office door was half-open, and Joan walked in, seeing George Vaasa standing in front of the broken window with his back to the door, looking at the rain curtain outside the window. His lonely back made him feel sad.
He walked behind the lieutenant colonel and asked softly, "Mr. Vaasa, what are you doing with me?"
Lieutenant Colonel Vasa turned around, the pipe in his hand had been destroyed by the rain, but he didn't realize it, and nodded tiredly to Joan, beckoning him to sit down.
"Now the situation of the troops, I don't need to say that you are all in your eyes. The fall of Fort Nisesi is irreparable. How long we can support depends only on how long it will rain."
Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa sighed and sat in his armchair, exhausted, speechless for a long time.
