Heart of Empire Chapter 353: Frustrated
After hearing the news that Arnold will lead the army to help, Dempsey is quite happy. ??Although it is a little uncomfortable not to be able to get their own direct line troops as reinforcements, but in any case, a legion of 4,500 people is already quite good in terms of overall strength.

It is especially worth mentioning that although Arnold's Legion is not as strong as the Legion of the Direct Lineage in Lost City, it is by no means a weak legion. After these years of support, coupled with his own background, Dempsey believes that Arnold's troops still have a certain combat effectiveness.

I still have thousands of people in my hand, counting Arnold's troops, they should be able to regain their footing at Iron Spike Hill.

As for things after that... Dempsey didn't think too much about it, and it's useless to think about it too much. It will depend on the plans of the upper-level decision makers. If the south is the main attack target, then put in more forces to continue fighting; if the main goal is to defend, add more troops.

Anyway, no matter what, Dempsey's goal now is to hold out until Arnold's arrival as long as possible. After reuniting with Arnold, he and Dane will have a good time in the nail hill area, and then wait for the situation to unfold. Variety.

On the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh day, Dempsey was somewhat relieved to have repelled the offensive of Dane's army for two consecutive days. What he was most afraid of was that Dane would take advantage of the momentum of taking down the city center and conquer the south of the city in one go. But fortunately, my preparations in advance are still effective. Of course, the defense in the south of the city is not foolproof, but at least it is stable.

He could also see that if Dane attacked with all his strength, regardless of the cost of casualties, it would be impossible for him to hold these current defensive strongholds. But he could also see that it was impossible for Dane to do that, and he was very concerned about casualties. This is the only reliance that Dempsey can rely on.

Mobilize troops and arrange defensive points according to the topography of the area currently under control... It was another busy night, and Dempsey was ready to wait for the third day of battle. As long as we survive today and tomorrow, I believe that before the first day of November, Arnold's army will reach the city first. At that time, my pressure will not be so great!

With the arrival of the 28th, several blocks, towers, and houses suitable for defense in the south of the city that Dempsey designated as the first line of defense are already in full swing, waiting for a new day of fierce fighting.

However, until it was dark, nothing happened.

Dyne's army did not attack with great fanfare as Dempsey expected. Some small groups launched some tentative offensives. Of course, it was impossible to achieve any results under the tight defense of Dempsey's troops, but Dane's troops who launched the offensive didn't seem to care at all. They fought twice and found no chance to take them down, so they retreated quite decisively.

Until dark, Dempsey's defensive line in the south of the city was hardly tested. In today's battle, the number of casualties on both sides may be less than ten.

Obviously, the day has passed in peace and stability, but Dempsey didn't feel half happy: such an abnormal situation is completely different from what Dempsey expected. This is a good thing? He doesn't think so! When things go wrong, there must be a demon. From Dane's many achievements in the past, Dempsey can see that he must not be a person easy to deal with. He believed that the reason why Dane didn't attack must be because of some plot elsewhere!

Turning his head, Dempsey thought of Arnold's reinforcements still on the way.

His complexion became very ugly in an instant, and he almost had the urge to lead the army to retreat immediately.

If Dane really set his sights on Arnold's reinforcements and chose to encircle the reinforcements, then things would be terrible. Dempsey had a personal experience of the strength of Dyne's troops during the battles of the past few days. Unprepared Arnold, in the wilderness where there is no danger to defend, if he is attacked by Dane during the march...he is not at all optimistic that Arnold can win.

Something has to be done!

Thinking about this, Dempsey anxiously paced back and forth in front of the table, but couldn't think of a way out—he was still trapped in the city, what could he do to save Arnold's troops?

After thinking for a long time, he came up with a solution that is not a solution:

"Let those bats go up into the air, fly north at all costs, find Arnold's troops for me, and warn them, march carefully, Dane has most likely launched a surprise attack on them!"

Hearing what Dempsey said, Hamer, who also knew how important Arnold's support army is to the current Iron Spike Hill, also changed his expression ~IndoMTL.com~ He didn't even have time to salute to Dempsey, turned his head and walked to convey the order up.

Half an hour later, Hamer knocked on Dempsey's door again.

Looking at the pale face of his chief of staff, Dempsey's heart skipped a beat. He kept a serious attitude and asked, "What's wrong?"

"As soon as our Batriders took off, they were intercepted by the enemy's Griffin, and they were all wiped out..."

The corner of Dempsey's mouth twitched, and he almost lost his breath.

"Too much deceit!" He cursed, feeling powerless all over his body.

It is now night, and it should have been the best time for the Batriders to dispatch. He just wanted those little bats to send a letter as a reminder, but he didn't expect Dane to do so brilliantly.

He is 100% sure now that Dane on the other side of the city is definitely eyeing Arnold's troops! Otherwise, how could he still be guarding against the Batrider in the middle of the night? You must know that the most special feature of bat cavalry is that they are good at night activities. He dared to guarantee that those griffins who intercepted the bat cavalry were definitely equipped with corresponding mage powers to detect the movements of the bats at night.

"Master Warlord... what should we do now?" Hammer asked cautiously.

Dempsey glared at him, and said: "What else can we do? Hold the city! Dane may not be able to defeat Arnold, after all, Arnold's troops are not weak. There is hope, Arnold's troops will definitely arrive!"

He said things that he didn't even believe, but if he didn't, Dempsey really didn't know what he could say or do. 8
