102. Reinforcements on the edge of despair

Thanks to the Buddhist book friends who squatted on the street corner for watching opera and selling cakes for their monthly tickets and rewards.

---

On the top of the city, it is naturally the easiest place to see the entire picture of the front line, and the defeat of the defenders is in sight.

The archers lined up at the top of the city had already shot the last arrow just now, pulled out their weapons and rushed down the city wall. In such an isolated situation, everyone was determined to die.

"Mr. County Master, this place is almost impossible to defend. Please evacuate quickly."

Parker, the guard beside him, urging him anxiously, but Lance's eyes quietly looked into the distance. In the distance, the hope that was blended into a dark curtain fell into silence. Nearby, a new group of Goblin troops drove onto the front line.

The beacon fire lit on the city has gradually melted into embers, just like this army still supporting alone, walking towards death sadly and coldly.

Are you really going to lose, Lance asked himself.

Is all this really irreversible?

Lance didn't have much emotion on his face. He didn't feel the anger of renunciation, nor did he feel the silence of a hero who was in the end. In fact, he just felt a little lonely.

For him, the failure of the war was just a small piece of mud on the way forward. With Water Dragon and Fiona by his side, he could easily get out - but the soldiers in front of him who were still fighting for his life had no future.

Their destination is this blood-stained city, where there is no even a tombstone with its name.

Lance hates this. Although he is not stingy with killing people, he can do his best to achieve his goals. But he hates leaving those who are willing to follow him, and he hates leaving them. It feels like a ruthless betrayal.

——Lance hates betrayal.

The unpleasant memory was like sour water rushing to Lance's throat, and his throat was undulating twice. Finally, he swallowed the bitterness back.

He had passed the time of ignorance in his youth, and there were no longer those who had tolerated him in the past.

Those whom I once trusted have gone far away from him, and only that wish is left, pushing him forward constantly.

Lance closed his eyes and sighed silently, and when he opened it again, he had made a decision.

"Let's go." He only said these four words.

This made Parker relieved. It was not that the young man was afraid of death. It was his duty to not allow the person he protected to die in a battle where the ending could be seen. He was about to say something, but when he looked at Lance, he found that the latter's gaze was still motionless on the battlefield, as if the fearful and hideous look of the fearful look of the eyes that wanted to carve all the pictures in front of him into his mind with a knife, but when he looked closely, Lance had a calm face.

Parker couldn't help but rub his eyes: "Mr. County Lord..."

"Let's go." Lance finally turned around and took decisive steps.

Once he pulled out of his emotions, Lance became extremely decisive, but Parker followed Lance's sight just now. He didn't have time to take his eyes back for a while.

"Huh, what is that?" He exclaimed curiously.

Parker's eyes were born with eagle eyes, and his vision was naturally farther and more accurate than that of ordinary people. Lance looked at him strangely. The boy who was obviously clamoring to leave just now stopped moving.

But Parker couldn't help but tremble in his voice: "Mr. County Master, look. There seems to be a fire over there."

"Huh?" Lance was slightly stunned when he heard this. Although his eyesight was good, he was still not as good as a person born with talent in this area. He squinted his eyes and looked for a while. Only then did he find those faint shadows from the dark curtain in the distance. The fire was extremely dazzling in the night, and there was only one reason for this, that is, it was too far away.

Lance stared at it for a long time, and even forgot what they should have done. The firelight was indeed bizarre. It should not be the Goblins' army, but if it were reinforcements, Lance was not sure...

Feronte County and Guruli are more than a hundred miles apart, but not including the time left for Mosen to prepare and send troops after receiving the news, this round trip took three hours. However, Lance has not even been able to hold on for half an hour since the war started, so there is no need to count on reinforcements.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed. Who would have known that the Goblin army that sneaked into Feront County will have tens of thousands of people, and even the Goblin King will be in charge. He originally thought that with the fort and the water dragon, he could still hold on for this period of time.

"Mr. County Lord, that seems to be ours."

Parker's voice brought back Lance's thoughts, making him ask in a daze: "What?"

Parker thought he was wrong, and confirmed to the place where the fire appeared, then nodded, "Mr. County Master, that's indeed our army."

Lance narrowed his eyes, and he could naturally see the Hawkeye attribute under Parker's attribute bar under his retina - this kid really looked farther than himself, and if you think about it, he had no reason to deceive himself at such a time.

"What army is coming?"

"cavalry."

"Caval..." Lance murmured to his lips and stuttered for a moment.

Could it be the training team in Feronte County, but the beacon has been lit for so long, why has it only come now?

As the flames floated faintly, Lance finally saw clearly. The Dragon Corps could naturally pull the distance so quickly. They unexpectedly launched a surprise attack behind the Goblin army, like a sharp sword, and began to charge towards the Goblin army that was several times more numerous than under the Lance wall.

Not only Lance on the city wall, but even Taran, Hook and Jacob who were fighting under the city, they could feel something happening in the Goblins on the other side of the river. After all, the bright fire cannot be hidden in the dark.

"It seems something happened." Hook said, touching his beard.

"Take care for yourself!" Jacob blocked the goblin's shovel in front of him with two axes, kicked the other party in the stomach, and then cut off the other party's head with a sword. That's it. But he still looked at the other side of the river, and was shocked when he saw it. "It's true, what is that?"

"I don't know..." Even if there is a fire, it is not easy to see clearly after being at these hundreds of meters away, let alone in such a fierce battle.

Jacob asked, "Hey, beard, do you think it's a reinforcement?"

The answer was not what he saw, but what he guessed, but the scene that happened next truly confirmed Jacob's conjecture.

Looking at the war on the ground, the Goblins' front line was divided into two parts, and there was a clear commotion in the legion that had been standing still. Even the Goblin King who had been lying leisurely in the chair after his appearance also felt uneasy.

At the beginning, it was indeed a cavalry that raided their army with a thousand men. Although the Goblin King was also very surprised why there was such a combat power in Feront County, it actually did not take this matter seriously. The reason was very simple. Although the cavalry was sharp, the sharp one was at the beginning. When they went too deep into their own army, it was like an awl fell into a quagmire. The final result was not that the awl pierced something, but that the quagmire deeply bound the other party, and finally swallowed up the existence.

However, things quickly went beyond this cunning slam, because the opponent's reinforcements were far more than this cavalry.

To the north, which was completely opposite to the cavalry that rushed into the formation first, how long after the United States, another cavalry team with no inferior numbers rushed over, and both wings were hit at the same time, which made the Goblin King feel that the central army was a little passive, but the Goblin King, who was extremely confident in himself, still only compressed its formation, hoping to wait for an opportunity to strike a beautiful counterattack after exhausting the opponent's initial aura.
