Vol 6 Chapter 7: Collapsed faith

The dark smoke filled the sky above the peak of the cloud, and the hustle and bustle burst into the throat of each dwarf.
As the first gate was broken, the three lines of defense outside the Yunfeng Peak collapsed one after another; but under the order of the dwarf Igor, the defenders of each line of defense did not retreat indefinitely but retreat in an orderly manner while also destroying The passage between urban defense weapons and lines of defense.
The purpose is to hinder the pace of the rebels' offensive and split the uniform offense.
Igor succeeded.
The dwarf regiments, originally from a dozen city-states, big and small, who were originally separate from each other, after encountering obstacles, the offensive situation was instantly torn apart and fought separately, while the defenders who retreated in advance were always intact and calmly Build new defensive positions in the city.
Compared with the rebels, Yunzhifeng's advantage is that it has an absolutely unified command system, and the morale of its homeland; the disadvantage is that the very different strength of the force, so that each front must meet several times the number of enemies.
Therefore, after the city gate was attacked by the enemy, Igor did not hesitate to give up the too wide outer periphery, and turned the enemy closer to the city with narrow and complex terrain, and then used the geographical advantages and mobile forces to fight the enemy. .
Because the enemy is a "coalition" of more than a dozen city-states, they are not affiliated with each other, so they can only rigidly and rigidly execute the pre-war plans, and there is no flexibility at all; once the established goals and contacts are lost, the entire command system will instantly collapse, Forced to fight separately.
So a vigorous "Surrounding the Peak of Clouds" quickly turned into a battle of tens of thousands of dwarfs entangled in a fortress city state.
The situation was too chaotic. In the end, even Igor could not completely control the defenders in the city. He could only lead his own guard and a small number of mobile regiments, and constantly confronted the rebels encountered between the barricades.
After three years of civil war with the dwarves, the final fight was again launched in the capital city of the Yunling Kingdom-there is no more order, no more orders can be found, only the eyes in front of each other, and the sword in hand!
The black smoke covered the dome and roared like thunder; every street was blazed with flames, every lane was a clanging clash of swords, arrows punctured the roar of the sky; the weapon's life was harvested.
They held the same battle flag, shouted exactly the same slogan, wore inconsistent armor and equipment, sculpted and copied the same tactical offensive, defense, detour, raid, ambush, counter-ambush, breakout, anti-breakout ...
Completely out of control, the rebels and Yunding Peak who had fallen into self-harming completely turned the entire Yunfeng into a huge slaughterhouse and flesh mill; as the fighting situation further expanded, both sides of the shopping struggle also came The more cruel, the more and more there is no bottom line.
In order to destroy a barricade, the entire street can be set on fire; in order to resist the arrows of the defending army, the captives can be driven to act as flesh shields; in order to deter the besieged enemies, the head of the rebels is cut off, and the construction work is carried out locally. … Both of them exhausted their resources and dug out the capital of the Yunling Kingdom into ruins full of corpses.
In addition to these dwarves, the corrupt demons who have slaughtered half the population of Yunfeng Peak in the tunnels are also doing their "home" work "conscientiously" and fighting with the stubborn defense army.
"boom----!!!!"
In a few streets near the city gate, two identical troops suddenly met in the barricade, and then the weapon in the hands of "tacit understanding" was tightened, and it was lifted towards the other party with "enthusiasm".
"Array--!"
The uniform slogan, the equally scarred dwarf warriors on both sides formed a unique shield wall, raised the halberd, and leaned forward.
"Crossbow--, prepare--!"
In a small, tense and hurried step, the crossbowmen on both sides scrambled to place the heavy crossbows on their shoulders in front of them, aiming at the heads of the compatriots opposite;
The same movements, like the front and back of the mirror; even the feet of each other are each other's tired corpses and blood pools saturated with slate, and it is difficult to distinguish between burning and collapsed houses on both sides, just like on the stage of……
"attack--!"
... funny.
"Fight for the Yunling Kingdom, long live the Supreme King-!!!!!!"
The heavy and chaotic steps made the air tremble.
At that moment, the dwarf warriors on both sides were oncoming, whistling with arrows bursting through the air; the sound of arrows colliding with shields and armor, penetrating, shattering, and falling continued in the streets.
There were also a number of dwarf warriors falling on the charged stone road, trampled by roars and roars still roaring behind them, and turned into corpses no longer struggling.
The next second, they roared and finally hit each other heavily.
boom--!
The blades are staggered.
In the chaotic engagement, the two sides can no longer distinguish each other's figure, and can only judge who is the enemy and who is the friend based on the direction of the attack.
After a round of confrontation, the cloud peak "Wangjun" with more troops and more complete military and organizational structure immediately prevailed. In the front line, the rebel infantry of the rebels abandoned the shield and roared with both hands holding the halberd. The helmet and shield on the opposite side were smashed hard; with a desperate counterattack, the "Wang Jun" who was about to break through the defense line was stopped.
But in the face of the same equipment, the same training, but the number of enemies is far more than several times, this is destined to be in vain.
In the next second, the center line of the "Jingjun" cloud peak quickly concentrated on both sides, giving way to the main force of the "rebel" to launch the counterattack; the "rebel" fighters who had failed in the first round of the offensive were immediately fighting in the back row The halberd penetrated the chest.
In the sound of the steel tearing the steel and the steel running through the flesh, they collapsed one after another to the ground, unable to struggle twice, and they were stepped on the top of their heads by a raised iron boot.
"Poof—!"
As the last offensive of the "Rebels" was destroyed, the front collapsed, and a fight fell on the burning street covered with blood plasma and dead bodies.
The remaining "rebel" fighters are still desperately wielding weapons and shielding themselves from falling down; but this futile and sporadic resistance is destined not to last too long, and the number is decreasing.
A man in armor, with a crystal crown, the majestic dwarves pushed away the dwarf guards and soldiers who were standing in front of them. They did not look at the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield on both sides, and they straightened towards the last stubborn resistance. " "Rebels" walked.
"You played very bravely and stubbornly!" With a vigorous voice, the dwarf Igor stood in front of the rebels who were still rebelling and said coldly: "But the battle is over, surrender. "
"In the name of the Yunling Kingdom and the Supreme King, I promise you will get an absolutely fair and reasonable end!"
"Absolutely fair and reasonable ending-don't make me laugh, Igor!"
A dwarf of the obvious nobility in the rebels pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and stood in front of Igor with a dignified face: "Tell me, what are you qualified to say this ?!"
"It is more qualified than all of you!" Igor's words were full of anger: "Look at these two sides to see what you have done, and then ask me who actually let the noble and great Yunling Kingdom fall into Now dying! "
"Three years ... Do you want to say that it was Yun Pinnacle that caused the civil war ?!"
Igor gritted his teeth.
"Of course, it was Silver Helmet and us who provoked the civil war at first ..." The dwarf aristocrat on the opposite side stared at Igor fiercely: "But then-who is who bowed down to Baine, facing Silver Helmet Who was the one who did n’t dare to speak even a word ?! "
"With the help of foreigners, we continue to usurp the power that originally belonged to the Supreme King. Who is above 10,000 people under one person?"
"what are you saying?"
"What am I saying, do you think we are all blind, Igor ... The crystal crown above you is the best proof!" The dwarf noble stared at the crown above Igor's head:
"To this day, what else can you justify as a traitor usurped by usurping power ?!"
"Tamper with power ?!"
The dwarf Igor was furious, and then pale, as if suddenly thinking of something, he reached out and stopped the soldier who wanted to pounce on the traitor:
"Wait ... what did you just mean?"
"What do you mean, Igor, don't you understand such a simple truth?" The rebel aristocrat on the opposite side sneered:
"Yes, the city gate that was captured, the sudden assassination, this chaos ... all are honorable, the real orders from His Majesty the Supreme King!"
what? !
The command given by the Supreme King ... how could it be ... no, if that is the case, why would he let the assassin kill himself?
Unless ... no, impossible, I saw his head fall to the ground with my own eyes, the crown removed from that ... that head.
He can't be alive!
Igor shuddered and panicked. His hands trembled, and he stretched it out subconsciously.
"Are you loyal soldiers across the Yunling Kingdom, have you heard?" The rebels roared screaming exhaustedly, their expressions to the extreme:
"The person you are protecting, the guy who blatantly carries the crystal crown of the Supreme King, is the real traitor, and the one you should point at with a sword!"
The dwarf traitor's expression was so dreadful that it was in stark contrast with the shocked and desperate Igor, and his sharp eyes cast a disturbing power:
"Look at your expression, Igor, you might have thought of it ... That's right, it's not just a fantasy, but a fact. It's the ending that the great supreme king has already planned-it was he who planned it all , Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... "
"Crazy nonsense, what fact ?!"
The other party did not answer Igor, but laughed wildly; hysterical, trembling from the throat, chest, and lung lobes, hysterical laughter, endlessly oscillating above the smoky clouds.
……………………………………
"Yes, don't be so surprised, I'm still alive."
The solitary "former Supreme King" used a calm tone, like an ordinary dwarf who usually came out of the pit, and "randomly" placed the head on the "cross-section" of the chopped neck. .
Perhaps it was because the drying time was too long, the position of the head was always skewed, and it was not correct: "You are the guards of the Duke of Bain, and one of them seems to have participated in the Battle of Silver Helmet Mountain ... This kind of thing is not long ago Should n’t we blame you?

"It's impossible for a dead person to come back to life in a hundred years' time ..." Front "to His Majesty the High King."
Carl Colin, who was facing the enemy, stared at the Supreme King who came in, and blocked the startled recruits behind him: "So ... are you the black hand behind this war?"
"Me? Of course not ... the tycoon who is wearing a crystal crown outside is the traitor who is trying to weaken my prestige with the fall of a fortress." His Majesty the High King shook his head and raised his right hand that had already withered and died. Staring at the two with eyes soaked in black:
"Igor, the chief prosecutor of the support authority, is in power to try to control the politics of the Yunling Kingdom and make the people of Yunling puppets and vassals ... Duke of Loren Turin of Bain is."
"You are the real culprits, I ... just did what a supreme king should do."
"What should I do?" Carl Colin sneered with a disdainful expression: "Pushing the whole kingdom to hell, turning the people into corrupt demons, and becoming a puppet of the evil ..."
"This is what you should do in your eyes?"
The Supreme King shook his head again and disagreed with Karl Colin's rhetorical question.
"Ask such a question, it proves that you do not have the vision of being a ruler ... just a weapon in the hands of others, obediently obedient." Zhi Gao Wang said lightly:
"As a ruler, what is the ultimate pursuit of a lifetime?"
"If I can live forever, why do I need family blood to continue my great cause?"
"If you have a force that can't be resisted ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Why do you need to form an army to maintain my rule?"
"If I can rule everything without borrowing anyone's hand, slaves, civilians, nobles ... these tools to distinguish and unequal world, what else is necessary to exist?"
Question by sentence, "The Supreme King" came closer step by step: "So I found this truth, and it told me that only from the deepest despair can a great nation be born."
"And I will be the master of this kingdom ... the only master."
Carl Colin swallowed hard and swept back instinctively with the recruit behind him.
"But I don't think you will understand these, so let me say something you can understand." The old dwarf gave a very easy-going smile and spoke softly:
"The great, supreme" Black Cross "Lord Serior, trust me to your master, Lord byrne, Lord Loren Turin ..."
"... Sincere respect!"
