People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 259 A helpless move

"The second line of defense is almost broken!"

"Damn it, where are our reserves?!"

"Immediately organize defenses on the city walls and prepare to defend the city!"

As time passed, the empire's defenses finally collapsed.

"How far are the reinforcements?"

Baroness Emmanuelle opened her mouth and took a long time to say what she wanted to say.

"On the way, sir..."

"Has Warrior Theodore brought any good news?" Emmanuel asked again.

"They encountered Tamur Khan, but..." The soldier's tone was somewhat desperate, "But the other side has many rotten knights. Lord Theodore can't get close to Tamur Khan for the time being..."

"Where are Elspeth and the Cathay Wizard?"

"Lord Elspeth is fighting two Great Unclean Ones. That Cathay wizard you mentioned...it seems he can't do anything to Tamur Khan..."

"I see……"

Emmanuelle waved her hands. She wanted to vent her inner emotions with dirty words, but she tried hard to restrain herself.

The atmosphere in the war room was terribly depressing.

The Battle for Nuln is drawing to a close.

If the plan to behead Tamur Khan fails, the city of Nuln will directly suffer the wrath of the Chaos forces.

"Lord Emmanuel, the walls of Nuln are strong enough. We can withdraw our forces and continue the battle."

Jubal Falk pushed the door open.

His clothes were stained with blood, enough to testify to the cruelty of the battle, even if it was all from the enemy.

"Crow Dam and the middle battlefield are held." Jubal Fok returned to the war room.

The news he brought in person was more encouraging than any ordinary message.

"Nun City thanks you for your contribution." Emmanuel forced a smile.

Jubal replied, "I would go through fire and water for you, my lady."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the map in the war room, removing all the enemy soldier cards from Yaba and the middle battlefield.

"The enemies in these two locations no longer pose a threat. We only need to focus on the northern battlefield now."

"What do you think?" Emmanuel asked.

"Sir, I suggest we withdraw our forces," Jubal said with a frown. "We should rebuild a new line of defense about a hundred meters from the city wall..."

"Send in artillery support from the central battlefield to help us hold out longer."

Jubal's words made the others hesitate.

Someone immediately responded, "But doesn't this mean we're abandoning the soldiers fighting on the front lines?"

"Send the signal for them to retreat," Jubal said. "As for how many can come back, that depends on luck."

"What about Theodore and Elspeth?" Emmanuel joined the discussion. "They've already penetrated deep into enemy territory. It's going to be difficult for them to escape."

Shrinking the defense line was equivalent to abandoning the soldiers caught in the chaos, so no one dared to speak easily for a while.

"Lord Emmanuel," Jubal said seriously, "A decapitation mission is inherently risky, so preserving the city of Nuln is more important."

Jubal paused and continued, "We can't put all our hopes on them!"

After these words were spoken, Emmanuel's expression relaxed a little.

"What do you think?" she asked the others.

"I think Lord Jubal's method is feasible."

"Gather the remaining troops first and build a new line of defense before the second line of defense completely collapses!"

"Let the soldiers in the chaos try to retreat on their own! This may be the only way!"

"Lord Elspeth and Lord Theodore will take care of themselves. We just need to do what we are supposed to do!"

"..."

Jubal's proposal was supported by the majority, while a minority still insisted on holding the second line of defense.

"Just do as Jubal suggested!"

Emmanuel took a deep breath and decided to build a new line of defense.

The horns of retreat sounded from the walls of Nuln.

The soldiers on the second line of defense were confused.

"How can you retreat at this time?!"

"Sigma, we're still fighting!"

"Stop talking nonsense and run!"

"Let's retreat back to the city wall!"

The lucky soldier dodged the attack of the Nurgle creature and ran towards the city wall.

there.

Jubal Fokker has begun establishing a defensive line with the Nuln Ironclad.

The survival rate is higher if you follow this group of people than if you continue to fight in chaos.

"Come on, boys!"

Jubal looked anxiously at the second line of defense in the distance, hoping that more soldiers would leave that hell.

"Target the pursuing beastmen and support the retreating friendly forces!"

Some beastmen tried to chase them, but were killed by the Nuln Ironclad Army.

soon.

Hundreds of people gathered around Jubal.

After a short rest, they immediately joined Jubal and brought out various spike traps from the city to build a defense line.

the other side.

"The Nuln army retreated!"

As the number of enemies around them increased, Theodore and Elspeth finally realized the changes in the situation on the battlefield.

This is not good news for them.

Once the Nuln army retreats, it will be difficult for them to escape even if they succeed in beheading the enemy.

If no one picks them up.

The frenzied army of maggots will not let them go easily.

Put another way.

They have been abandoned...

Elspeth felt uncomfortable inside, but he couldn't express it, so he could only sigh.

After a brief silence, Theodore suddenly laughed out loud, shouting "Nun will win", and swung the sword in his hand even harder.

"A futile struggle."

Tamer Khan also observed the change in the situation and was not concerned about the performance of the three people.

The chance of victory is right in front of him, and he will still be the winner of this war.

"Don't even think about it!" Theodore roared. "You evil bastards! You filthy filth!"

"It doesn't matter if I die. The Empire's army will avenge me! The people of Nuln will avenge me!"

"The walls of Nuln will still stand!"

"Sunrise or sunset!"

Theodore pointed his sword at Tamer Khan, fearless and determined to fight him.

"Don't go! Theodore!"

Elspeth was extremely anxious, but he was unable to stop the other party.

If Theodore died with Tamer Khan, then what was the point of everything she did.

"There's no need to rush..." Tamur Khan laughed, "Because... you will all die!"

Whether on the front battlefield or here, he has an overall advantage in both quantity and quality.

Reason for failure?

Tamer Khan could not imagine it.

"No one will die today."

Just as Tamur Khan was immersed in his own world, Liu Li's voice came from the side.

"Oh~ and you..." Tamur Khan came back to his senses, "Liu Li, I will kill you last. I want you to witness their death and the destruction of Nuln with your own eyes!"

"Are you deaf?" Liu Li straightened up. "I told you, no one will die today! Except you!"
