Chapter 1379: Severely Injured Deni (Part 1)

Rolin Empire, Orleans, on the north wall.

"There are too few soldiers there! Send a few more soldiers!"

Deni's voice had long been hoarse.

But he still forced his hoarse voice over and over again, commanding the soldiers on the north wall to stop the enemy soldiers of the Knights of Michael who kept climbing up from under the wall.

These days, Deni almost didn't go to inspect other walls, and his whole body was almost rooted on the north wall of Orleans.

The reason why he didn't go to inspect other walls was very simple.

The north wall couldn't leave him for a moment.

If he lost his precise command, the north wall would fall into danger at any time.

Only under his precise command could the defenders on the north wall barely stop the pace of the Knights of Michael's attack.

The north wall is the most dangerous place in the whole Orleans at present - no one else.

Not only was Deni, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, personally stationed at the north wall, but almost all the elite soldiers in the city were also transferred to the north wall to block the Knights of Michael.

Deni stood at a corner of the north wall, surrounded by a large number of elite soldiers to protect him closely and prevent any enemy soldiers from approaching.

It was precisely because of so many elite guards protecting him that Deni could observe the battle situation on the north wall with confidence and boldness.

Staring at the battle line on the north wall, Deni said in his heart:

-Good, so far the battle line is still stable, and there is no place that is in urgent need of soldiers.

-It's really a blessing in disguise...

-The monster army of the Knights of Michael does not seem to have participated in the attack on Orleans...

-It's really lucky...

"The monster army of the Knights of Michael"-Deni is naturally referring to the ace army of the Knights of Michael: the Delan Undead Squad.

With the "Aurora" offensive against the Holy Hiran Empire and the "National Defense War" against the Frank Empire, the Delan Undead Squad has made their name.

Now all the countries on the continent know that the Michael Knights of the Britannia Empire have an ace unit called the "Delan Undead Squad".

All the members of the unit are elite among the elites who can fight one hundred and can handle all arms.

Although Deni has never fought against the Delan Undead Squad, he has naturally heard of the reputation of the Delan Undead Squad early.

The reputation of the Delan Undead Squad alone makes Deni feel a little scared...

When he was ordered to come to defend Orleans, Deni was actually a little nervous.

Worried about encountering the Delan Undead Squad of the Michael Knights.

But now it seems that Deni's worries are actually redundant.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Orleans, Deni has never seen a soldier wearing a dark purple cloak.

However, Deni still dared not completely relax his vigilance.

After all, there is still the possibility that "the Britannia Army has been hiding the Delan Immortal Team in order to dispatch the Delan Immortal Team at the most critical moment and take down Orleans in one fell swoop"...

......

......

In fact, Deni really doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the Delan Immortal Team.

Because - the Delan Immortal Team really did not come to participate in this "Southern Destruction War".

This "Southern Destruction War" with the ultimate goal of attacking and destroying the Rolin Empire, most of its battles are sieges.

The Orleans attack station that determines the survival of the Rolin Empire is a siege.

The casualty rate of sieges is extremely high.

It is a bit of a waste to put an ace unit like the Delan Immortal Team into a war dominated by sieges.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons of the various staff officers of the General Staff, it was decided to keep the Delan Immortal Team in the country and not let the Delan Immortal Team participate in the "Veronica" plan.

By the way, after the "Great Patriotic War", the Knights of Michael were divided into two, one part continued to be stationed on the northern front, and the other part was stationed around the imperial capital.

The Delan Immortal Corps was one of the many troops of the Knights of Michael stationed around the imperial capital.

......

......

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

From time to time, some boulders and arrows would pass over the heads of the enemy and our army on the city wall.

Even though the Britannia army had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders on the walls of Orleans, the catapults and siege crossbows had not stopped running.

Boulders and arrows continued to shoot into the city of Orleans.

However, the range had changed.

After the infantry of the Britannia Army began to attack the city and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of Orleans, the soldiers responsible for operating the siege crossbows and catapults would extend the range and set the shooting target to the city of Orleans instead of the walls of Orleans.

This can not only avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops who are fighting with the enemy on the walls, but also continue to deter the soldiers of the Orleans defenders and hit the morale and fighting spirit of the Orleans defenders.

At the same time, if you are lucky, you can also hit some logistics personnel or important figures in the city of Orleans.

It has to be said that the Britannia Army's tactics of continuing to use catapults and siege crossbows to bombard Orleans are still quite effective.

Those veterans are fine, but those new recruits and militiamen who have just put on armor are very afraid of these boulders and arrows.

When the boulders and arrows pass over their heads, they will shrink their necks involuntarily.

Some people were even so scared that their legs were shaking.

For example, now - Deni found that not far from him, several militiamen were shaking with fear because of the huge stones and arrows that kept flying through the air.

Deni was already used to seeing such scenes.

Seeing such scenes again, Deni was no longer surprised.

"Don't be afraid!"

Deni shouted to the trembling militiamen with a helpless tone:

"I have said it so many times! Don't be afraid of catapults and siege crossbows!"

"The hit rate of catapults and siege crossbows is terribly low!"

"And the catapults and siege crossbows of the Britannia Army are clearly aimed at the city!"

"The huge stones and boulders will not hit the city walls at all!"

"So don't be afraid..."

Boom! ! !

Before Deni finished speaking, a loud bang exploded.

A huge stone accurately hit Deni not far from his side.

The loud noise interrupted Denis's words.

No...

It seems a bit inaccurate to say that the loud noise interrupted Denis's words.

To be precise, it should be the huge stone that fell not far from Denis' side that broke into pieces, and the rubble hit Denis and buried him, causing Denis to be unable to say the rest of his words...

Not only was Denis hit by the rubble, but many of the guards who were guarding Denis were also hit by the rubble and fell to the ground.

Only a very few people escaped this disaster.

These survivors who were very lucky to escape this disaster instantly lost all color when they realized what had happened.

"Commander!"

"Your Excellency the Commander!"

...

The guards who were still standing shouted at Denis loudly, while digging Denis, whose face was covered with blood, out of the rubble with their bare hands...
