Chapter 33 A Difficult Battle
Half an hour ago.
The heavy rain on the battlefield was like a huge hand stretching out from the sky, pressing down on everyone's breathing. The rain seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood and earth, turning the battlefield outside Anka into a muddy hell.
The lizardfolk's scales gleamed in the rain, making their charge faster and faster, while the armor of the Ankh army became heavy and their sight was restricted.
Melee combat has become more chaotic, and there is already a huge gap in strength. Even if these people are brave enough and their eyes are firm enough, it cannot change the fact that they need more strength and energy to swing their weapons.
Commander Princess Nalia stood on the high platform, her robe soaked by the rain, but she still firmly commanded the battle.
But to be honest, the equipment sent by the church played a big role, especially the catapults and oil bombs. Although there was interference from the rain, they still played a key role.
The rocks flying towards the front of the battlefield splashed muddy water in the rain and hit the lizard men, causing huge damage. Although the oil bombs could not burn for long, they did slow down the attack speed of some lizard men. .
I just don't know what the purpose of these church people appearing at this time...
"Your Highness, it's not good..."
On the high platform, Nalia heard the panicked voice of the messenger behind her, and suddenly felt a sudden change in her heart. trembling.
She turned around and frowned slightly, looked at the man and asked in a calm tone:
"What's wrong?"
"The lizard people have appeared in the city, and it seems that they have begun to destroy the buildings in the city. According to the current situation, Judging from the situation, we are completely unable to stop them, and there will be casualties in a short time..."
"What?!"
Nalia's pupils shrank, and she was about to ask why there was no action from the church, but then she realized that the soldier might We had just rushed there, and even delivering a simple message on a rainy day might take a lot of effort.
She had no idea that the fake Sirius' words actually came true.
However, in such a short period of time, it is estimated that the church has not even received the meaning of "Sirius".
A sense of powerlessness exploded from Nalia's heart, and she tried hard to look at the frontal battlefield ahead, hoping to find a turning point.
But the problem is that she knows it is destined to be a futile thing.
On the chaotic bloody battlefield, not only the corpses of the lizard men were lying down, but also the corpses of their companions. No matter how you looked at it, this was not a complete victory.
Although there will always be casualties in wars, this kind of defeat due to a simple lack of troops and equipment is a kind of humiliation for a noble who lives in the imperial city all year round.
Especially under the current circumstances, the enemy has sneaked into the rear, and soon the helpless civilians will be attacked. The windows of their home may be torn open by the sharp claws of the lizard men, and finally the green-skinned monsters that break into the home will end those innocent lives.
Want to completely break through the frontal battlefield and drive back these green-skinned monsters? Nalia felt that this idea was a bit too nonsense.
The current situation is beyond repair. Maybe accepting failure and facing the casualties of the Anka people is the best result, right?
No...she couldn't accept this result.
"Soldier, what's your name?"
The armor-clad soldier's face was filled with excitement and flatterment when he heard that Imperial Princess Nalia actually asked his name.
Although the whole person still kept kneeling on one knee, his head lowered further, "Back to Your Royal Highness, the villain's name is Andrzej Pandy." "Then Andrzej, are you willing to protect Anka?" Do you want to give everything?"
"Subordinate is willing!"
"Very good." Nalia nodded with satisfaction, very appreciating the soldier's loyalty to Anka, or to the Xilin Empire, "Then you will take the All the soldiers doing logistics work in the rear, follow me to intercept the lizardmen in the city.
I believe that you all have this consciousness and the determination to still protect Ankh as your first responsibility when facing a desperate situation.
Remember, this time Rescue at all costs."
Logistics? There is no logistical necessity now.
This heavy rain changed everything. Originally, she had actually thought of some temporary coping strategies, but now the situation has changed too much. It was already very difficult for her to just deal with the lizardmen outside. How could she prepare in advance for what might happen in the city? What about invasion?
Her only hope now is that the people in the church really want to help Anka and are not trying to take advantage of this opportunity to form a conspiracy to seize power.
Otherwise, when they arrive in the city to deal with it, they may only have a few logistical guards to fight against the lizardmen.
It may even be that you are the only fighting force, and others can only play a restrictive role.
"I understand."
Anjie solemnly responded to Nalia's military order. His armor shimmered in the rain at this moment, as if to demonstrate his determination.
He ran down the steps of the city wall without hesitation, splashing raindrops when he stepped on the water, and ran towards the rear military camp in the wind and rain. As the urgent assembly call sounded, the remaining soldiers in the military camp responded quickly, wearing soaked clothes and armor, and hurriedly stood together.
"Brothers! The princess has an order. Everyone should go to the city to intercept the enemies sneaking into Anka at all costs!
Today, we will show our courage and determination to these green-skinned monsters. Follow Her Royal Highness, for Anka, for Xilin Empire! Forward!"
As he said these words, the soldiers below echoed in unison, their morale continued to rise, and everyone followed the leadership of Andrzej and Nalia and rushed out of the city neatly.
The heavy rain was still pouring, and the road became more muddy, but this group of people did not delay for a moment, and instead moved faster.
Soon they found their first target. A huge green lizard man was lying outside a house and scratching the wall with his claws. There were many damaged boards and objects falling from the wall on the ground nearby. Cement blocks.
Nalia looked at this ugly guy coldly, and without saying a word, she pulled out the long sword from her waist and disappeared directly into the rain curtain in an instant.
Then, while everyone was stunned, Nalia reappeared above the lizard man's head in the next moment, aiming her long sword at the opponent's neck and stabbing downwards.
But what made her feel troublesome was that her sword was not very sharp. She could not directly pierce the lizard man's throat with her own strength, but was blocked by the hard scales. Even these scales were squirming as if they were alive, as if they were trying to break the tip of her sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nalia quickly drew out her sword, jumped back lightly with her whole body, and distanced herself from it.
Of course, her attack was not completely ineffective. Although it did not directly pierce the lizard man's body, it still touched some flesh and blood under the scales. The long sword soaked by the rain is now dripping with a few drops of lizardman...
Wait, where is the rain?
Nalia suddenly realized that the heavy rain was still pouring just now. How could it stop just now?
