On the Seven Towers

The city of Bahria has been filled with war clouds and the atmosphere has been depressing these past few days. A large number of troops and masters have gathered here, and a counterattack is about to begin. Troops are constantly entering the city from outside, and experts are teleporting here from various places.

Xiao Chen walked down from the teleportation array and stretched. Suddenly he felt that this action was not in line with his status as acting chairman, so he quietly lowered his hand. In the past two days, he visited several villages and towns that were not under their control, successively conducted various negotiations with the locals, and fought with the empire's infiltration troops. His whole person looked dusty. Although he seemed to be in good spirits, his body was still A lot of fatigue accumulated.

Since Baron Paragus' Goyo town agreed to be incorporated into the Tower of China system, two more villages were taken over by him, accepted his conditions, and became part of the territory they actually controlled. Including the villages in charge of other people, they used the imperial infiltration offensive this time to take their control of the subordinate areas a step further.

Even in a village like Cavisson that was initially hostile, Xiao Chen did not really give up on them. In fact, two days later, a mage led a team to move into these villages, took control of the town's managers, and blocked the entire town's exit. Then he started treating illnesses and saving people. How could Xiao Chen really give up on this kind of thing to gain favor and win the approval of residents?

The person who greeted him at the door of the teleportation room was Evelin. When she saw the dark elf Xiao Chen, she asked curiously: "Why is it that you, a master, are guarding here?"

Evelin said: "The mages and warriors who attacked Heimuguan Chengdu this time have been added to the attack team, and even the guards here have been mobilized. Wang Jiyuan has mobilized every force he can muster. Phase. In contrast, consultants like me don't have much to do. They only need to wait for combat missions and can do some sporadic guard work. However, everyone who is supposed to come has basically arrived, and you should be the last one to arrive. The Great Magician."

"When will the meeting be held?" Xiao Chen asked.

"After an hour and a half, you can take a rest if you need." Evelin said.

"No need, let's go now. Get to the meeting place early, and chat with others to learn about various developments and listen to everyone's thoughts. In the current war, we have no time to relax." Xiao Chen Went out first.

Evelin followed, covering her mouth and smiling: "It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and you already look like a king."

Xiao Chen waved his hands repeatedly: "What a king, we don't want to be called this. Oh, my strength is already ahead of everyone, and people look up to me, and there are many people who support me. If someone praises me like you do, they will make a mistake. Remember, this is a leadership group."

"Yes, 'natives' like us have too many 'feudal remnants' in our minds, right?"

"Huh?" Xiao Chen glanced at Evelin and saw a smile on her expression, without any trace of dissatisfaction, "Has someone said that about you? Who is it?"

"You don't need to ask the specific person, and no one dares to talk to me like this in person, I just heard it. I expected this when I came out of the Elf Forest, and I was prepared in my heart. There is no need to care about it at this time. These little things.”

Xiao Chen realized that she was serious and nodded: "Thank you. It can be seen from this that you are much better than many people think they are. Don't worry, I will not let down the people who have trusted me."

Evelyn smiled back.

Xiao Chen asked again: "By the way, how is Roger's injury? I heard that he was hit by the black water that exploded?"

"This guy is too stubborn. He was showered by an Imperial man who blew himself up that day. We originally planned to return to the surrounding cities for treatment, but we encountered a small group of enemy elites on the way back. Roger immediately changed his mind. Resolutely refusing to go back, we must chase that team for another day. We fought with the opponent twice and killed most of the masters in the opponent's team until his body became weak and he lost his strength. , so I stopped him. He is currently in isolation in the hospital and may not be able to participate in this operation."

"But thanks to you promptly reminding other groups that the enemy had this attack method, we were able to avoid a lot of losses." Xiao Chen said.

"Despite this, our losses are still considerable." Evelin said.

"What are the latest statistics here at Wang Jiyuan?" Xiao Chen asked.

Evelin said: “So far, we have sacrificed more than one hundred people in the battle, and more than three hundred people have contracted the disease, including more than thirty low-level warriors and mages.

However, we have basically achieved our previous goal. There are only two successful cases of imperial infiltration in the cities we control. Ninety percent of the imperial troops heading south have been wiped out. The remaining ones are just some small moths. We still have two companies chasing them. The disease of these people has also entered the stage of large-scale onset. Commander Wang estimates that they can no longer do anything to our town. Threatened. As long as the remaining villages defend themselves tightly, they can be held back to death. "

"It sounds like the price is quite high." Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, Leo's cavalry company suffered the greatest sacrifice. They ran into the enemy's large group of troops. Although they defeated the enemy, more than three-quarters of them were sacrificed. The company commander Leo himself was seriously injured and fell into a coma. However, They saved more people.

It was a village of more than 300 people. A half-detachment of more than 60 people from the Imperial Army attacked the village at dusk when everyone was lighting a fire to eat. The village's militiamen only had more than 30 people, and they were not in place to defend themselves in time. They quickly arrived. We can no longer withstand the Imperial attack. Those imperial people originally wanted to massacre the village when they entered the village. Fortunately, when they broke through the village's defenses, our cavalry company appeared. In fact, Leo and the others had just gone through a big battle before, and only about thirty people came to support that day. In terms of strength, we are not as good as each other. But Leo led the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the Imperials. They fought to the death against an enemy who was stronger than themselves. Both sides consumed their troops until the other side could no longer bear the losses and lost more than half of its troops and collapsed completely. Only then did they save the entire nation. The lives of the people in the village. But after killing all the enemies, there were less than five people left standing in the team. "

"It's really tragic."

Evelin said: "When I got this battle report, the entire command headquarters was shocked. I knew that the Guards were a very powerful army, but I never imagined that they had such willpower."

"This is when our soldiers begin to understand the meaning of their fighting." Xiao Chen said solemnly: "Although the soldiers we sacrificed are very sad, their sacrifices were not in vain, and it was all worth it."
