Chapter 10 There will always be a squeeze--
In fact, compared with the castles of other provincial and county lords, the White Sand Castle is really not big. Generally, the castle of the head of a county in this area is basically equivalent to a city, with an outer wall and an inner castle. The inner castle is usually built luxuriously and artistically, with a large area and complex structure. Due to the status of theocracy in this kingdom, these buildings often have a religious atmosphere, abstract art statues are indispensable, fountains and gardens for walking, large rooms for dance parties and open squares are always needed, and even mazes or dark rooms for guests to entertain. In short, in this already corrupt kingdom of the aristocracy, the places where these lords live are often extremely luxurious.
And outside the fort wall, a moat is usually dug out. Between the moat and the outer wall are scattered with ordinary aristocratic manors, civilian settlements, playgrounds for military training and churches that provide religious activities for civilians.
The outer city is relatively simple, surrounded by sentry buildings and arrow towers. In many places, these arrow towers have been abandoned, many poor people have built wooden houses or earthen houses next to the outer city, and some places have been used as markets for commercial activities.
However, the White Sand Castle has not built an external wall, and the internal structure is also simple and unpretentious. Four high towers stand at its four corners, and there are countless arrow holes on the wall of the tower. The castle is made of boulders with a certain slope to prevent it from being destroyed too easily when it encounters a large-scale magic attack or when explosives are buried under the wall.
Around the White Sand Castle, each looking tower and arrow tower are distributed at a reasonable distance. The arrow tower and the arrow tower are closer to each other. The watchtower is scattered and made of walnut, which is not easy to be eaten by insects and mosquitoes, and is easy to ignite when abandoned. The purpose of this arrangement is to find it in time when encountering a sudden attack, and to prevent the archers on the arrow tower from following them to seize the fort entrance when nearby farmers and peasants take refuge in the castle.
At the same time, the passage in the fort is designed to be curved like a maze. This is also to prevent the enemy from breaking through the castle and not being able to rush into the castle.
Obviously, for Count Flainn, simplicity and practicality is the most important thing.
When Meggie and the wind entered the White Sand Castle, they saw the line of rose girls neatly rehearse. Since they now have only dozens of people, and all of them are loyal to Sophia, General Leot simply formed them into a knight detachment as the princess's guard. Of course, no one now cares whether he has the power to deal with these rose knights who at least nominally belong to the church.
So, these ladies who originally belonged to the Knights of the Temple simply gave a different name, and I don't know who proposed to change the name to the "Holy Lily Knight Squad", which was unanimously recognized by these ladies. In this way, Miss Rose became Miss Lily... which made Meiji feel so cold.
To be honest, he doubted whether these ladies would scramble to join if Sophia really wanted to build a harem based on the abnormal sexual orientation of lily.
Fortunately, he seems to be the only one who is cold. As a result, others still habitually call them "Rose Knights", and even call them "Rose Knight Squad" instead of "Holy Lily Knight Squad" in the battle plan, which makes her They are very dissatisfied.
Molly was selected as the captain of the Holy Lily Knight Squad. Considering Molly's style of thinking about her captain only when she bickers or wants to be lazy in the mission about blue planet debris, Meggie really thinks they have chosen the wrong person...
"Fortunately, they just need to follow Sophia to the Gull Fortress." Meiji sighed. Many of these ladies are quite beautiful. Several of them have a "close" relationship with him.
"No," the wind whispered to him, "they will leave tonight... to the Gu'ai pass."
Meggie was stunned and then silent.
"After all, they have been taking formal knight courses since childhood," said Yu Feng. "At this time, any power needs to be used."
"But it's not short of them," Meiji felt that General Leot was too cold for the first time. "We only temporarily blocked the enemy at the Guai Pass. As long as we win the time to mobilize back for the main force sent to the north, we will eventually retreat, won't we? In this case, why let them die?
In fact, everyone knows that according to the arrangement of General Dulang, the soldiers sent to the Guai'ai's entrance can only be regarded as cannon fodder to delay the enemy. Not to mention whether it can really stop the enemy, even if the enemy is really delayed, I'm afraid there are very few people who can retreat to the Gull Fortress alive.
Although Megyi has limited knowledge of the military, she also knows that General Leot's approach is obviously desperate. If all these people that are currently available are used to guard the Gull Fortress or the White Sand Castle, it is completely possible to wait for reinforcements to arrive. And the current arrangement, once it is impossible to drag the enemy at the entrance of Guai, it is equivalent to giving both the Gull Fortress and the White Sand Castle to the enemy. At that time, the troops withdrawn from the north would only be defeated.
"Meggie, you have to understand," the wind shook his head. "With the current manpower, it is impossible to defend the Gull Fortress and the White Sand Castle at the same time..."
"Even if you lose one..."
"Then, even if you can defend the remaining one, it will become a protracted war." The wind took his hand, "Once it becomes a protracted war, we are finished."
"It's not necessarily..." Meiji retorted. At least he knows that the grain stored in the White Sands Castle can last for more than half a year, and by then, there may be any other changes in the situation.
However, the beautiful elf just sighed: "Meggie... You forgot the Shadow Blood Dragon!"
Mage was stunned.
"The shadow blood dragon is still in the south, but once the enemy stands firmly in the south, the shadow blood dragon can fly here at any time." The wind whispered, "If you can't completely repel the enemy we are facing and destroy the enemy's large-scale transmission array before the Shadow Blood Dragon or the Orcs in the cold windy Hills begin to invade, it is no different from waiting for death. Or, Meiji... Can you kill the Shadow Dragon again?
Shadow Blood Dragon......
Meggie remembered Joshua and Wu Chen!
Now by his side, there is neither Anna Sue, who can stop the attack of the blood dragon, nor Su Li, who can give it a fatal blow, and the little Zheng Taiwei, who can run away, is dead, and even Joshua may become an enemy... Why should he kill the Shadow Blood Dragon?
......

They came to Meiji's room together and kissed and* crazily. The wind is not a combatant. Although she also has to go to the Guai Pass, the main task is to use the prophetic magic she is good at to collect intelligence. They don't know when they will meet next time.
Or... can't we meet again?
"Xiafeng, do you have anything to remind me?" Meggie lay on the back of the beautiful elf and went deep into the small hole behind her. Although she was determined to stay for Sophia, Meggie was still a little uneasy. In the battle to eliminate the shadow blood dragon, the prediction of the wind played a great role, so this time Meggie hoped that she could point out some key points for herself.
"I can't see clearly," the elf closed his eyes and endured the feeling of swelling and cracking of his body being invaded by foreign bodies. After slowly adapting, he gently exhaled, "There are too many places covered by fog. And, for some reason, I always feel that there is something dark hidden around you, which makes me feel scared. I vaguely saw that it was a woman, but I didn't know who she was. I thought it was the girl who was by your side just now... but it wasn't..."
Meji immediately thought of Emma. The vampire escaped the existence of the law of life, and the prophecy naturally could not see her clearly, and Meiji did not know whether to tell Emma's existence to the wind. For all the elves who cherish life, vampires are disgusting monsters, and he believes that the wind is no exception.
I smiled bitterly. He held the shoulder of the beautiful elf** and moved slowly and rhythmically behind her.
Since returning to White Sand Castle and secretly meeting Sophia, Emma has temporarily left him. After all, she can't let others know that there is a blood-sucking monster beside the princess. These days, Meji doesn't know where she is hiding.
At this time, he remembered something...
"The wind..." He stopped.
"Hmm?"
"Well, tell me, how old are you now?"
"I won't say it."
"Are you 100 years old?" Meiji half knelt and patted her*. Hundreds of life expectancy, of course, is immortal and immortal for human beings, but for elves, it should only be just an adult.
"I won't tell you."
"If you don't tell me, you will be punished..." Meiji retreated from her body, turned her over, and sat on her smooth abdomen demonstrating.
The beautiful elf glanced at him and pouted: "Even if I'm punished, I won't say it. Anyway, you won't let me go... Wait a minute, this won't work..."
......
After a while.
"Meggie, you bully people," the elf cried. "I'm not the princess, she's that big. You are just playing tricks on me..."
"No, no," Meiji comforted her, "Look, it's still a little cleavage..."
"I was scratched to death by you, wow..."
