Forty-one failed

The battle at the city gate was much inferior. Because the Paro people had already dealt with the terrible battles on the city walls wholeheartedly and did not have much power to pay attention to the progress of the city-breaking hammer. Originally, they could pour hot oil and throw away the fire to destroy the machine, but this time they did not have the leisure to do so, because the enemy had already surged onto the city walls.

The heavy city gate gradually became unstable under the attack of the city hammer. The fierce impact finally opened a huge gap in the city gate, enough for the two horses to rush through side by side.

The sound of drums that were as sharp as horses' hooves sounded. The coalition soldiers outside the city found that the city gate was destroyed and shouted ecstatically. The soldiers who were still outside the city all rushed straight to the city gate.

He had already controlled the city wall. Ashurufat led his troops to kill the last group of Paro soldiers who were fighting stubbornly on the city wall. After completely eliminating the enemies on the city wall, he immediately commanded the troops around him to move into the city. At this moment, more than a group of knights had rushed into the castle, and thick smoke and fire were rising everywhere.

The morning mist had faded, and blood flowed into a river on the city walls. Dark clouds covered the sky, but thunder rumbling, as if the gods in the sky wanted to interfere in person with the two fighting armies.

Now, both sides have lost their formation and effective command. The commanders of both sides can only gather a few troops, and overall they have to rely on the courage of the soldiers to maintain the battle tenaciously. Almost all the coalition soldiers have rushed into the city, and both sides of the fierce battle have red eyes, and their beastly nature has replaced mercy and kindness. The battle spread to every corner of the castle, and the howling of the wounded is everywhere, flowing with the blood of the dead. No one surrenders, and no one is willing to capture prisoners. In this terrible day, either live as the winner or become a ghost under the knife.

In a room above the castle, a man turned a deafening sound of fighting outside, calmly writing on paper.

"...There are too many enemies, incredibly numerous, completely incompatible with the intelligence. This has almost become a decisive factor. This makes me doubt that Thomas, who deceived the world and thieves, may have used some evil means to enhance his own combat power..."

"...Many people think that Duke Rudolph is the kind of person who values ​​victory over honor, but compared to Thomas, Rudolph is obviously much inferior. At least Rudolph's "limited" morality cannot allow him to privately contain the dark wizard. Indeed, in military terms, anyone must recognize Thomas' ability, and his achievements over the past two years are the best proof. But in terms of the honor of the knight, I despise him extremely. Thomas is extremely hypocritical,

The evildoer who deceives the world and steals the name. Everyone in the world is deceived by this hypocrite. Even if I had not seen the battle between our soldiers and the zombies resurrected by the dark magic, I would never believe that Thomas would have privately contained the dark mage and used this taboo evil force as combat power. This disguising ability is really amazing. This just shows why he can always easily understand the cunning military strategy, because he himself is the most cunning and hypocritical person..."

"...At this moment, our army's defeat is probably inevitable. I can no longer continue writing. As a guard, this is the moment when I will be loyal to the country. I will lead the soldiers to carry out the final resistance and just swear to death! I pray here that the gods in the Star Field can bless Paro forever..."

He put down his pen, folded the things he had written, carefully tied them to the legs of a pigeon with a thin rope, and then released the pigeon from the window. At this time, the two armies were in a melee, and no one cared about such a pigeon that conveyed messages.

After doing all this, he took up his sword and a torch and walked out of the room. Below his room was the castle's material warehouse, which had accumulated all the supplies in a classified manner. He walked into the warehouse through a side door and saw several Paro soldiers busy here, stacking piles of powder barrels together.

Someone was chopping the main entrance of the warehouse. One, two, three times, a huge battle axe cut through the door bolt, and a whole team of knights rushed in. All of these people were enemies, Thomas's subordinates!

The leading knight dropped his battle axe, swung a giant sword, and rushed in. But perhaps seeing the calmness of the remaining Paro soldiers, the knights stopped and watched around, worried about an ambush.

"My mother!" The knight suddenly screamed with joy, staring at the medicine piled up in a corner. His breastplate was engraved with a red dragon shape, but there was no pattern on his subordinates' breastplate - in fact, it could be seen at a glance that these armors originally belonged to the Paro Knights. Both of them became bloodthirsty and crazy because of the fierce battle, staring at the surviving Paro people inside.

But they immediately realized why these Paro people were calm because they had already recognized that the piles of barrels contained gunpowder. These were all gunpowder barrels!

These Paro people have calm eyes, but they are not afraid of the enemy with absolute advantage. They are only those who are determined to die generously.

"I am the Earl of Mazar of Paro, the guard of this place, who are you, the knight?" He reported his name and stared at the knight in front of him.

"I am Count Ashu Rufat of St. Gene, Deputy General of General Thomas!" the knight replied loudly. "Leave the torch in your hand and I will spare your life!"

"What if I say no?" he replied with a smile. From his voice, he could tell that the knight opposite him was still young, and he was not sure of the son of a great nobleman. "I was ordered by the king to station here and shoulder the great responsibility of resisting the enemy and defending the land. As a knight, I should defend this responsibility with my life. Today, the castle fell, how can I live a life and defile the glory of the knight? Die with me!"

Without a trace of hesitation, he stuffed the torch in his hand into a powder barrel.

It was a shocking sound.

A considerable part of the building of the entire castle flew into the sky in this loud bang. Gravel fell from the sky like raindrops, and countless huge waves of air blew downed many soldiers who were still fighting fiercely. All the people in the warehouse disappeared. Specifically, this place where it used to be the warehouse, along with everything on it, disappeared in this huge sound.

Except for one figure.

"Master, fortunately I opened the protective energy field in time..." Carrie said in her mind. "Master? What's wrong with you?"

"'My mother'... General Thomas..." Ashu Rufat's lips moved, looking at the dust in the sky. Then his knees were no longer able to support his body and fell down uncontrollably.

Everything is over!

...

In the battle of Thomas's victory in the battle of Wolfkou Castle, anyone can give them ten reasons for Thomas to win. First, Thomas attacked the castle for the second time, and was familiar with the way. Secondly, the defenses arranged by the Paro people in hastily were very imperfect, and even the trenches outside the city had not been dug. Again, a large part of the Paro soldiers in the castle were defeated, with low morale and unbearable. Also, Thomas had secret weapons and several siege towers that could be formed overnight...

However, even the most demanding people admitted that it was absolutely a great deed to be able to quickly conquer the castle of this city wall with a force that was not obvious advantage in two days. According to some reliable records, the Paro people's resistance was extremely tenacious, and the coalition forces paid a great price. In the end, Thomas stepped on the enemy's blood corpse and inserted his flying snake flag into the highest point of the castle. The corpses of soldiers on both sides covered every corner of the castle.

But the final result proves that any price is worth it. More than 20,000 Paro soldiers were completely wiped out, which was also the last resistance of the Paro people.

Some people believe that it was this battle that caused Thomas to be seriously injured. However, some people believe that Thomas had been injured before. This detail is difficult to verify. Because it is well known that if the general was injured in the war, he would definitely try every means to conceal the injuries so as not to shake the morale of the army, and Thomas would definitely be no exception.

However, according to the most common view, Thomas had been injured more than once before, and had even been unable to manage the director for a while, and entrusted all the affairs to the deputy general. This also indirectly shows how bloody and cruel the battle this general experienced. The fall of Wolfmouth Castle can be said to have put a perfect end to Thomas's battle. The Paro people no longer have troops, and now Paro's land is exposed to Thomas like an unprotected lamb.

At this point, even if Thomas achieved achievements that were not "never come", at least it had reached the point of "unprecedented". His deeds were circulated everywhere, and his name was recorded in history as the greatest general and was remembered and remembered forever.

According to folk legends or some unidentified historical records, Thomas and the Paro people had a deep hatred. It is said that Paro's assassin took advantage of his absence to kill Thomas's family. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain what he did when he entered Paro. After leaving a small army to guard the Wolfkou Castle, Thomas commanded the coalition forces of Saint Gene and Cassillos to invade Paro's territory, burned, killed and plundered, and turned at least two provinces into ruins. Unfortunately, Cassillos' knights were very happy to do this, because they also hated the Paro people. The militias with no honor were even more enjoyable.

Of course, a more orthodox statement is that Thomas is not responsible for these things. Because at this moment, his health has collapsed, and it is not him to command the army. Thomas has gone through the most glorious journey of his life this year. But no matter how much ambitions the old man still lurks in his heart, how many pursuits of honor and victory, no matter how young his mentality is, his body is over 80 years old. Repeated fierce battles, many injuries, and arduous marches, all of this finally exhausted his last potential in his life. He was like a meteor, illuminating the entire night sky, but also quickly fell...

——Excerpt from "History of the Stigia War"

Now the sunset is shining on a clearing ground covered with grass. Spring has arrived, and the grass and trees are green. Thousands of trees are wide and thick and short. The trees that extend from the branches are blooming with tender green, covering the green green with their jointed arms. In some places, they cross with all kinds of bushes and are so close to each other that they separate the light from the setting sun. In other places, they give in to each other and open up a narrow and long tree-lined avenue in the complex gaps, which makes people feel relaxed and full of imagination at first glance.

Thomas lay in a chair, looking at the beautiful scenery from afar. This is the central area of ​​Paro, only a short distance from the coalition barracks. Ashurufate and Leo, his two deputy generals, accompanied him on his left and right. He was covered with a luxurious and luxurious blanket obtained as a spoil, and a calm smile appeared on his face, which was too thin to be human.

The war is over.

Yesterday, Princess Irina's messenger rode a pegasus to the army and brought this news. Princess Irina has signed a contract with Paro. Although she does not know the specific content of the contract, there is no doubt that the Peace Treaty must be extremely harsh on Paro.
