The dark smoke filled the sky above the cloud peak, and the noisy war howl blew up in each dwarf''s throat.
With the first city gate being broken, the three defense lines outside the cloud peak collapsed one after another; However, under the order of dwarf Igor, the defenders of each defense line did not stick to the front, but retreated in an orderly manner, and destroyed the channel between urban defense weapons and the defense line.
The purpose is to hinder the rebels'' offensive pace and separate the neat and uniform attack.
Igor succeeded.
After encountering obstacles, the dwarf legions from more than a dozen city states, large and small, which were not owned by each other, were torn apart and fought their own battles; However, the garrison that retreated in advance always had a complete organizational system and calmly built a new defensive position in the city.
Compared with the rebels, the advantage of Yunfeng is that it has an absolutely unified command system and the morale of sticking to its homeland; The drawback is that there is a great disparity in the comparison of forces, resulting in the fact that each front has to face several times the number of enemies.
Therefore, after the city gate was raided and broken by the enemy, Igor did not hesitate to give up the too open periphery, put the enemy close to the narrow and complex city, and then use the geographical advantages and mobile forces to fight street battles with the enemy.
Because the enemy is a "coalition" of more than a dozen city states and does not belong to each other, he can only rigidly implement the pre war plan without any flexibility; Once the established goal and connection are lost, the whole command system will collapse and be forced to fight separately.
So a vigorous "cloud peak encirclement" quickly turned into a scuffle between tens of thousands of dwarves inside and outside a fortress city-state.
In the end, even Igor could not fully control the defenders in the city. He could only lead his own guard and a small number of mobile legions to fight against the rebels between barricades
After three years of dwarf civil war, the final battle was launched again in the capital of Yunling Kingdom - there was no order, no command, only each other in front of us and the swords in our hands!
Black smoke covered the dome and roared like thunder; Every street was ablaze with flames, and every alley was filled with the clanging sound of swords, and the roar of arrows across the sky; Reap each other''s lives with weapons.
As like as two peas, they carried the same flag, shouted the same slogans, wore identical armor and equipment, and used the same tactics as carving, copying, attacking, defending, circuitous, raiding, ambushes, anti ambushes, breaking through and breaking out.
Completely out of control, the rebels and the "King army" of the cloud peak completely turned the whole cloud peak into a huge slaughterhouse and meat mill; With the further expansion of the fighting situation, the two sides of the shopping are becoming more and more cruel and have no bottom line.
In order to destroy a barricade, you can set fire to the whole street; In order to resist the arrows of the defenders, the prisoners can be driven to act as meat shields; In order to deter the besieged enemy, the rebel''s head was cut off and "local materials" were used to build fortifications... Both sides exhausted their material resources and tried their best to turn the capital of Yunling kingdom into ruins filled with corpses.
Besides these dwarves, the corrupting demons, who have slaughtered half of the population at the peak of the cloud in the tunnels, are also "conscientiously" carrying out their "duty" work and fighting with the defensive Legion.
"Boom --!!"
Two as like as two peas in the ebullities, suddenly met in barricades, and then clenched their arms in a tacit understanding, and raised them with ebullience towards each other.
"Array --!"
Neat and uniform slogans, the same wounded dwarf soldiers on both sides formed a unique shield wall, raised the bloody halberd and leaned forward.
"Crossbow --, ready --!"
Taking nervous and hurried small steps, the crossbow men on both sides scrambled to put the Heavy Crossbow on the shoulder of the robe in front of them and aim at the head of the compatriots opposite;
The same action is as like as two peas in a mirror. Even each other''s feet are covered with each other''s bones and pools of blood soaked in stone slabs. It is difficult to distinguish between the burning and collapsed houses on both sides, just like on the stage
"Attack --!"
... funny.
"Fight for the kingdom of Yunling, long live the supreme king!!!!!"
The heavy and disorderly footsteps made the air tremble.
At that moment, the dwarf soldiers on both sides charged with arrows tearing the air against their faces; The sound of arrows colliding, penetrating, breaking and falling with shields and armor kept ringing in the streets.
There were also dwarf soldiers falling on the stone road of the charge, trampled by the roaring robes behind them, and turned into bodies that were no longer twitching and struggling.
The next second, they finally hit each other.
Bang -!
The sharp blades crisscross.
In the chaotic battle, the two sides can no longer distinguish each other. They can only judge who is the enemy and who is the friend by the direction of attack.
After a round of confrontation, the cloud peak "Wang Jun", with more troops and more complete military capacity and organizational system, immediately gained the upper hand; In the front, the heavy infantry of the rebels abandoned their shields, roared, held halberds in both hands, and smashed down the opposite helmets and shields; With a desperate counter charge, he stubbornly stopped the "Wang Jun" who was about to break through the defense line.
But in the face of enemies with the same equipment, the same training, but many times more, this is doomed to be futile.
The next second, the central line of the "King''s army" at the peak of the cloud quickly concentrated on both sides, giving way to the main force of the "rebels" to launch a counter charge; The "rebel" soldiers who failed in the first round of attack were immediately pierced by the halberd in the back row.
In the sound of steel tearing steel and steel penetrating their bones and flesh, they collapsed one after another. Before they could struggle twice, they were trampled on their heads by raised iron boots.
"Puff --!"
As the last offensive of the "rebels" was destroyed, the front also collapsed, and a bloody fight came to an end in the burning streets covered with plasma and corpses.
The remaining "rebel" fighters are still desperately waving weapons and using shields to protect themselves from falling; But this futile and sporadic resistance is destined not to last long, and the number is getting smaller and smaller.
A dignified dwarf in armor and Crystal Crown pushed away the dwarf guards and soldiers in front of him, did not look at the soldiers still cleaning the battlefield on both sides, and walked straight towards the "rebel" who was still fighting in the last corner.
"You fought bravely and tenaciously!" with a strong voice, dwarf Igor stood in front of the "rebels" who were still resisting and said coldly, "but the battle is over. Surrender."
"In the name of Yunling Kingdom and supreme king, I promise you will get an absolutely fair and reasonable end!"
"Absolutely fair and reasonable end - don''t make me laugh, Igor!"
A dwarf with an obvious aristocratic appearance in the rebel army pushed away the soldier in front of him and stood in front of Igor with a ferocious face: "tell me, what qualifications do you have to say such words?!"
"More qualified than all of you!" Igor''s words were full of anger: "look at both sides, see what you have done, and then ask me who put the noble and great Yunling kingdom into a dying situation!"
"Three years... Do you want to say that the cloud peak provoked the civil war?"
Igor roared, gnashing his teeth.
"Of course, it was the silver helmet mountain and us who started the civil war at the beginning..." the dwarf nobleman opposite stared at Igor fiercely: "but then - who was the one who bowed to Byrne and who dared not speak a word in the face of the fall of the silver helmet mountain
"With the help of foreign forces, who constantly usurps the power originally belonging to the supreme king? Who is below one person and above ten thousand people?!"
"What are you talking about?"
"What do I say? Do you think we are all blind, Igor... The crystal crown on your head is the best proof!" the dwarf nobleman stared at the crown on Igor''s head:
"Up to now, you traitor who usurped power and cheated, what else can you defend?!"
"Usurping power and bullying?"
The dwarf Igor was angry at first, then pale, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and stretched out his hand to stop the soldier who wanted to rush up and take down the traitor:
"Wait... What did you mean by that sentence?!"
"What do you mean, Igor, don''t you even understand such a simple truth?" the rebel nobleman opposite sneered:
"Yes, the captured city gate, the sudden assassination, this chaos... All are noble, the real orders issued by his Majesty the supreme king himself!"
what?!
The order given by the supreme King... How can it be... No, if so, what reason does he have for the assassin to kill himself?
Unless... No, impossible, I saw his head fall to the ground with my own eyes, and the crown was taken from that... That head.
He can''t be alive!
Igor trembled and lost his color. His hands trembled and subconsciously extended to the top of his head.
"Loyal soldiers of Yunling Kingdom opposite, do you hear me?!" the rebels roared hoarsely, with a ferocious expression:
"The person you protect, the guy who brazenly carries the crystal crown belonging to the supreme king, is the real traitor and the one you should point at with a sword!"
The expression of the dwarf traitor was so gloomy that it formed a sharp contrast between the positive and negative sides of Igor, who was shocked and lost, and his sharp eyes projected frightening power:
"Look at your expression, Igor, I''m afraid you also thought of it... Yes, it''s not just a fantasy, but a fact. It''s the outcome planned by the great supreme King - he planned all this, ha ha ha ha..."
"Nonsense madman, what fact?!"
The other party didn''t answer Igor, but laughed wildly; Hysteria, trembling from the throat, chest and lungs, hysterical laughter vibrated endlessly over the black smoke cloud peak.
……………………………………
"Yes, don''t be so surprised. I''m still alive."
The lonely "former Supreme king" looked like an ordinary dwarf coming out of the mine in a peaceful tone, and "randomly" put the blood stained head on the "cross section" whose neck was cut off.
Maybe it''s because it''s been drying up for too long, and the position of your head is always a little skewed. Why can''t you put it right: "you''re the bodyguard of Duke Byrne, and one of you seems to have participated in the battle of silver helmet mountain... Shouldn''t you be surprised long ago?"
"It''s impossible for the dead to come back to life in a hundred years... ''former'' Supreme king."
Carl Colin, who was facing a great enemy, stared at the supreme king who came in and blocked the panicked recruits behind him: "so... You are the behind the war?"
"Me? Of course not... The sycophant who is wearing a crystal crown outside is the traitor who tries to weaken my authority with the fall of a fortress." the supreme King shook his head, raised his withered and necrotic right hand and stared at them with black soaked eyes:
"You who support the powerful courtier Igor to take power in an attempt to control the politics of the Yunling Kingdom and make the Yunling people puppets and vassals... The Duke of Loren Turin of Byrne is."
"You are the real culprit. I... just did what a supreme king should do."
"What should we do?" Carl Colin snorted coldly and looked very disdainful: "push the whole kingdom to hell, turn the people into corrosion demons, and become the puppet of evil gods..."
"Is this what you think you should do?"
The supreme King shook his head again and was very dismissive of Carl Colin''s rhetorical question.
"Asking such questions proves that you have no vision as a ruler... Just a obedient weapon in the hands of others." the supreme king said faintly:
"As a ruler, what is the ultimate pursuit of life?"
"If I can live forever, why do I need family blood to continue my great cause?"
"If I have a force that cannot be resisted, why do I need to form an army to maintain my rule?"
"If I can rule everything without anyone''s hand, what is the need for slaves, civilians, nobles... These tools to distinguish and unequal world?"
One by one, the "supreme king" approached step by step: "so I found this truth, which tells me that only from the deepest despair can the greatest country be born."
"And I will be the master of this country... The only master."
Carl Colin swallowed hard and instinctively stepped back with the recruits behind him.
"But I don''t think you will understand these, so let me say something you can understand." the old dwarf smiled very easygoing and whispered:
"Great and supreme ''black cross'' Lord serliol, entrust me to your master, Lord of Byrne, lord lord Loren Turin..."
"... with high respect!"
