The Hero in Exile

"Hurry up, boys. Get the explosives to the city wall. Their attack is getting more and more fierce."

"Is there any dwarf who can forge? The city wall is about to be broken, go and reinforce it."

"Damn it, save the wounded quickly and call two reserve teams over. I need more manpower."

Dale commanded the soldiers at the north gate in an orderly manner, and everyone went from being at a loss at the beginning to doing their own work in an orderly manner now.

After smashing the earth element core that was about to climb the wall with a hammer, Dale looked at the warriors around him with relief. He thought they would be scared to pee their pants, but he didn't expect them to be a group of real men.

Rumble~

The loud noise under his feet had to bring Dell back to reality.

"What happened just now, kid?"

"Marshal, a fire element just detonated its core. Now there's a big hole in the city gate and the monsters are trying to enter from there. We can't repair it!"

"Order 500 heavily armored soldiers to follow me and charge out to buy them some time."

At the same time, the magician and the cannon discovered that a gap had been briefly blown open by the monsters at the city gate. Dale took this opportunity to lead his heavy armored soldiers to occupy a small position outside the city.

There were many elemental monsters on the periphery and they were all attacking the gap, which created an extremely strong visual effect. Fortunately, the artillery support from the rear was timely, and Dale's troops quickly stabilized their position. In addition, the old hunter's dwarves took turns shooting, so not many elements could actually reach their faces.

The city gate was successfully repaired with extremely low casualties, and only a few of the 500 men led by Dale were injured.

After a whole day of siege, the stars gradually set, and the elemental monsters outside the city gate began to slow down or turn around until the tranquility of the night returned.

"Marshal, I didn't expect these monsters to retreat. I thought they would never stop."

"Although they are not afraid of death, they are not stupid. When they are short of energy and numbers, they will definitely choose to retreat."

Dale and a group of soldiers sat around the campfire, eating barbecue and drinking beer, enjoying the rare peace.

"Those monsters weren't that strong. They were defeated by my hammer anyway." A soldier boasted about his battle record.

"Yes, I don't know who it was but when I climbed up the wall, my legs started to tremble."

"Who...who? It definitely isn't me."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone around the campfire laughed again.

"If you ask me, the greatest contributor is our Marshal. Without his command, we would have died long ago."

"You're the only one who knows how to flatter. If you used your skills in flattery to fight, you would have won a war long ago." Dale interrupted the one who flattered him, "Don't forget to take turns patrolling at night. Be careful. You're not sure if they will launch a night attack. It's best to be careful. If there is any special situation, just come to me."

After getting enough rest, Dell began to write a letter to report the status of today's battle.

Except for the North Gate which was a little stressful today, the East and West Gates were quite easy. With the cooperation of Lingyu and Moran, there was not much pressure to deal with some elemental monsters and they even led the troops to launch a good counterattack.

"These guys are nothing special."

Moran stood on high ground overlooking the elemental wreckage below.

"Better be careful. This is just a tentative attack. We saw so much before the attack, but there was not much left during the attack."

Although Moran said he would restrain himself, he had already led his troops to eliminate many elemental teams nearby.

Not to mention Bronzebeard, who has extremely high martial arts value, artifacts and super strong guards, and the hammer itself can absorb cores. Although the energy is not much, it is large in number. There were almost no casualties on Bronzebeard's side where the north gate was located. The biggest loss was probably Bronzebeard, who had been swinging the hammer for a whole day and could hardly lift it.

"Report, there is a letter from Lord Dale."

Bronzebeard took the letter.

It said that the damage to the north gate was slightly greater, and under the repeated attacks of the elements, the ammunition for artillery shells was also much less.

Considering that Dell's own combat power is not very strong and that it does not have any particularly strong troops except the heavy armored infantry regiment, it still needs reinforcements.

"Send half of the guards over there, and give them some supplies. Oh, and since we have it pretty easy here, leave a few mages who can buff the effect, and send the rest over as reinforcements."
