It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 266 The Resolute March
Crownless City, West Artisan Avenue.

The heavy roar sounded continuously every tens of seconds, as heavy as a huge hammer hitting the ground.

The houses on both sides of the road were trembling, the residents fled in terror, and the whole street was in chaos under heavy artillery fire.

"Ah, the Hooffire Empire is coming!"

"Run!"

"The Crownless City is about to be destroyed!"

In the atmosphere of panic, several figures approached against the crowd towards the west city wall. The leader with dazzling blond hair stood out from the crowd.

Ryan did not stop, avoiding a large number of demons fleeing to other blocks, and kept his eyes on the west.

Rumbling--

More than a dozen magic cannons hit the barrier on the city wall in unison, causing the ground in the city to tremble, and many people fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Is the guidance for evacuation going?"

"Yes," Elfah, the queen of the elves on the lake, responded to him, "Let the elves protect the demons who once invaded us. If we knew in advance that today's crisis is in the XC area, we would never agree."

"……Feel sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, who would have thought that the Hooffire Empire would act at this time, are you really sure it's Marcus?"

Lane did not answer the question.

Just like what Elfa said, they had made a lot of speculations about what might happen today, but among the first few options that were ruled out was the attack of the Hooffire Empire.

He took a deep breath and looked back at Kamesh, the dwarf king: "Please leave the dwarves for the first attack."

"You can always trust the dwarves, old man," Kamesh replied. "The most valiant warriors have stepped out of the barracks, and the cowardly invaders are waiting to be split in two with the ax!"

Based on considerations, Ryan finally only told the truth to the elves and dwarves on the lake.

All the preparations are also made for this.

But these two are not the only ones participating in the war. Jutman and the others have already conveyed their request to other forces, and the elves and dwarves are just doing the initial defense.

Among other things, at least the Azure Dragon Queen will never sit back and watch the Hooffire Empire win the Uncrowned City.

As they got closer to the city wall, Elufa and Jass, who had good eyesight, saw the abnormality there at a glance.

"Why was the city wall blasted away?" Jass said coldly, looking at the breach.

"It looks like a barrier that was bombed first." Sheronde frowned.

At present, only the two of them followed Ryan, and they looked at the direction of the city wall. The barrier had not yet been broken, but the city wall was blasted to pieces, leaving only half of its height, and boulders fell everywhere.

The circular city wall of the Crownless City is a proud work of the craftsmen. It is not only tall and thick, but the energy barrier should be maintained for a long time to ensure that the defense line can be stabilized in the face of continuous shelling.

But now the barrier is all right, but the city wall has collapsed.

Seeing this scene, it's no wonder that the residents of West Street didn't panic.

"It looks like someone turned off the barrier on the inside first." Ryan said with his eyes down.

Is this also a conspiracy of the Hooffire Empire?
At this moment, several people with oriental appearance came in front of them.

"Is that Ryan?" the man said, "We are from Yingsu, and we just came from the west gate."

"What's going on?" Kamesh said with wide-eyed eyes.

If the city wall was still there, the dwarves would have lined up on the city wall, clapped their buttocks and yelled, and could even drink a few sips of beer. Now that the city wall has been destroyed a lot, the effect of the barrier will also be damaged.

Doesn't that represent the worst case scenario, they will go out of the city to fight the imperial army...?
"The barrier wasn't opened at the beginning," said the man from Yingsu. "If our people hadn't risked their lives to open the barrier in time, you wouldn't have seen that the city wall was still there."

"Got it, thanks."

Ryan grimaced.

In any case, they are not the original army of the Uncrowned City. The real guards of the city wall should be the city defense army of the Artisan Association, and they also control the switch of the barrier.

In other words.

Did it not open on purpose?

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen," Elfa couldn't help but tremble, "Ryan, don't you think it's ironic, we are trying to protect the city, but the owner of the city is opening the door to let the enemy in."

"In any case, what we should do will not change." Ryan closed his eyes, "Kamesh, I will fight side by side with you."

The dwarf king froze there, his beard trembling.

"Short, dwarves will never be afraid! It's just the largest country on the mainland, and my ax is still very sharp! Ai...Elufa, don't just focus on guiding your troops to escape, the other party has magic cannons, I need them Fire support!"

Sheronde rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Why does it seem that the momentum is much weaker than before...

Saying goodbye to the people of Yingsu, Ryan led a few people to rush to the city wall at the first time. On the way, they were bombed by magic cannons again, and the whole city wall seemed to be crumbling.

"careful!"

Stabilizing his figure, a series of gravels fell from the top of his head in the shock. Kamesh swung his ax and wanted to chop it up, but Eluffa blocked them all with a magic barrier.

"Demons and magic are not the specialties of dwarves!" Kamesh explained, shaking his beard.

Several people climbed to the top of the ruined city wall, and their vision suddenly widened, and they could see the complex terrain in the west of the Crownless City at a glance.

Due to the disorder of the terrain, forests, plains, hills, deserts and other landforms are stitched together in an uncoordinated way. To the north, there is the Broken Ridge Plateau Snow Mountain to which the Lan Temple belongs. At first glance, it does not look like the scenery of the real world.

And the army of the Hooffire Empire is gathering and marching in the distance.

The total number is estimated to be about 5 people, and Kamesh was dumbfounded when he saw it.

"They have no way." Jass reminded, "The road that was bombed twice by Lion Garden has not been restored yet."

"But no one is stopping them from marching now," Elfa expressed concern about this. "As long as you climb out of that valley, you will be on the plain."

It is impossible to avoid this kind of assembly. Two groups of 24 long-range magic cannons were used to bombard alternately in advance. Probably when the imperial army set foot on the plain, the barrier of the city without a crown could not hold up.

At that time, if the support cannot arrive in time, they will have to rely on this half of the city wall, with more than 1000 dwarves and elves, to compete with the empire's [-] army.

"Can you see their commander?" Ryan asked.

Jas and Elfar didn't speak, they just used magic to search the valley in the distance, their eyesight is not particularly good, it would be great if Jutman was here at this time.

But on the side of the night demons and wild elves, that guy must go, which is also impossible.

"I found it." Jass suddenly said in a deep voice, pointing to somewhere coldly, "on the second peak on the left side of the valley."

Several people squinted their eyes as far as possible and could barely see a majestic figure standing at the position Jass mentioned.

"I didn't expect it was really him..."

Eluffa used magic to open the image of the lake, and the opponent's figure was faintly reflected in the circular water waves.

Rough white hair, a mighty body, and a petite figure with red hair floating behind him.

"Marcus, why?"

Ryan frowned, expressing extreme doubts about this, but the facts were right in front of his eyes.

There is no doubt that it is Marcus Callendell, one of the Four Marshals of the Hooffire Empire, the East Marshal.

"I don't understand either." Eluffa sighed deeply.

Because actually, when Marcus this morning—

Still working with them.

……

In the ruins of the battle of the gods, craftsmen will make underground manufacturing sites.

After listening to Athetana conveying the news from Yingsu, Luo Wei fell into a short silence.

The Hooffire Empire's invasion of Wuguan City has become an ironclad fact. Since even the magic cannons have been used, and the army is crossing the cordon, it is impossible to just promote the country's prestige.

"Are you sure the person leading them is Marcus?" Ayi Ning asked calmly.

"Not sure. In fact, the people from Yingsu witnessed that Marcus was still with Ryan and the others this morning."

"It probably won't be someone else," Luo Wei said coldly, "No one else is qualified to lead this battle."

"That……"

Vermeer wasn't sure if she should speak or not.

Either way, it was too hasty.

Moreover, is it really beneficial to let the army cross the steep terrain before going into the siege battle?Although that person gave off an extremely dangerous aura, he could also feel the majesty of being a commander.

Such a person, because of the superiority in numbers, will let himself lose part of his advantage before the battle, and confront the enemy head-on?
Luo Wei thought for a while, then looked at Saya who was standing there, "As the commander of the army, what do you think?"

"I...?" Saya was stunned. She had indeed led the Angel Legion in many battles, but she was not sure if it was appropriate for her to express her opinion at this moment.

"Don't worry about anything, just say what you think."

Saya closed her eyes.

"I think it's stupid to attack like that."

She explained: "If you put aside the factors of the Craftsman Association, the Hooffire Empire is going to take the Uncrowned City by force. There have been many opportunities that were beneficial to the situation before, such as the war between the Demon Kingdom and the Lake Elf. Now at this point, tomorrow The forces on the surface are all united together, and even he himself joined the alliance, and I don't see any favorable motives for suddenly turning around."

"Although he himself is very strong, there are also outstanding godheads in various forces. At this time, he declares to be an enemy of everyone, and he may not be able to survive the siege, unless..."

Luo Wei looked at her calmly.

"Unless what?"

"Unless Marcus secretly instigated other forces to do this with him."

"Is there such a possibility, Athetana?"

"Currently...no," Athetana responded, "The news just came from Yingsu, only the elves and dwarves on the lake acted immediately, but they were on the side of guarding the Uncrowned City."

"is that so."

Luo Wei's face turned cold.

Ryan's efforts during this period were not in vain. Even if there were forces that Marcus could win over, it would not be enough to change the situation of the battle.

At this time, the army of the Hooffire Empire stood on the opposite side of all forces, no matter in terms of interests or morality.

"What are you going to do?" Ayi Ning looked at him, "Are you going back to save Wuguan City?"

Even though he was asking, the meaning in the words was obvious.

They do not deal with the forces in the open, which also means that they have no military power to rely on. The only thing they can entrust is Lovely's Sky Wing, and the Queen's Queen's troops are not in the alliance, and it is still to be determined whether they will take action or not.

Intervening in a war in the name of an individual is a bit of a joke.

"No," Luo Wei heard what she meant, and affirmed, "What we have to do is to find out the reason behind this war. The Hooffire Empire will not rush in rashly. There must be a plan behind it."

"If combined with the Artisan Guild..." Vermeer raised his gaze, "It was said before that war is a sacrifice, so now..."

She dared not think about that possibility.

The army of the Hooffire Empire is only attacking to act as a sacrifice for god-making...

"Don't underestimate lunatics," Iluth said softly after being silent for a while, "but it's not good to make wild guesses before finding out the facts."

"Then leave as soon as possible." Luo Wei said with a sinking expression.

Ryan's performance also shows that this time, unlike the beast tide period, the two sides still have room for change. Even if the truth comes out, the Hooffire Empire may still march as usual.

At this point in time, it was as if they had deliberately thrown this pawn because of their intrusion.

If all this is really artisan will be behind the push.

Why, what reason does Hooffire Empire agree to such a ridiculous request?
……

The sky of Wuguan City seemed to be overcast with haze.

The dwarves stood one by one along the steep and uneven wall, and the elves stood beside them, having taken off the bows and arrows behind them.

The treatment team has also been on standby, ready to treat the wounded at any time in a relatively safe location.

Vanessa Sheila, the lord of the alert mountain, landed beside Ryan, and the blue dragon queen looked down coldly at the imperial army stepping onto the plain.

"It's time to make them pay for their ignorance about magic weapons."

"Thank you for coming to support in time." Ryan nodded slightly to her side, but he was not excited at all.

No matter how you think about it, this war is too deliberate.

It took a lot of time for the imperial army to cross the valley. In addition to the dwarves and elves, dragons and wild elves have also arrived on the battlefield, and many forces from other races and countries are on their way.

The situation he was worried about, the fact that many forces were instigated by the Hooffire Empire, did not happen.

Now, Ryan is more concerned about why Marcus started this war.

Enemy against all forces, the biggest threat to the Lion Garden, Prime Minister Randall's information is unknown, but you don't need to think about it, you know that with the strategy of that dangerous person, it will definitely inflict heavy damage on the Hooffire Empire in an unexpected place.

What is the point of a war without any benefits.

Ryan couldn't help but looked up. In addition to the dragons standing by in the sky, the succubi and other capable personnel from the XC area also spontaneously joined in to form a militia.Higher up, the battleship of Lovely, the five princesses of the Lion Garden cast shadows.

He knew that Her Royal Highness and Luo Wei had a close relationship, so he didn't need to worry about anything, and he would never be an enemy. Looking at the distance, it seemed that he planned to help when the situation had to be forced.

"call……"

Ryan breathed the heavy air and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Friend, is this the result you predicted?"

"Or, is this just the beginning of the fate of the city without a crown?"

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The barrier was depleted by the bombardment of the magic cannon.

With the long blast of the whistling horn, the imperial army on the plain charged.
