Chapter 466: Fight into the city!
"Everyone, if we continue to stay where we are, we will be dead. We must fight our way into the city!" Gwen stood on the high platform in the square and gave a loud speech to the people below.
The resistance fighters cheered and responded to Gwen with passionate words. Now that they had won the battle, their morale was high.
Gwen smiled and nodded. Although the process of conquering Grizzly Town was somewhat bumpy, the result was pretty good.
Seeing that she had not returned yet, the resistance forces in the woods organized another group of people to come the next day. When this group of people arrived, the town led by Basel was in chaos and no one was sent out to intercept them. They successfully joined forces with Gwen. Now the number of resistance forces in Grizzly Town has become quite large.
This also gave Gwen the confidence to fight the Winter Wolf head-on. At this moment, she raised her fist high and looked determinedly at the crowd.
Standing next to Gwen was Isaac, a man who looked a little depressed. His experience in the Sea of Unconsciousness was indeed bizarre.
That day he felt that he was doomed, so he decided to commit suicide, which would allow his soul to return to the [Chrysalis] and pass the message to Castel.
Although I don't know what Castel's specific situation is and whether he has the ability to help me get revenge, this may leave a way out for the resistance forces.
As a result, [Pupa] inexplicably rejected him, but Lina grabbed him across the entire Sea of Unconsciousness and dragged him back to the world little by little.
He was completely unable to resist the pulling force of Lina. Just as Isaac was waiting to die in despair, he suddenly felt as if there was an extra pulling force on his body.
No, to be precise, there were two strands, two thin silk threads tied to his soul, and the other ends went in two completely different directions, but they were both dragging his soul.
For a moment, the two threads wrestled with Lina's hands on his body.
Isaac felt as if his whole body was about to be torn apart, but luckily he was a dual-path transcendent, and his soul was much tougher than that of a normal transcendent, so he managed to hold on.
In the end, the two silk threads won. Perhaps it was because of their numerical advantage, after all, the ratio was two to one. In short, Lina let go at the last moment.
Isaac, who nearly died in the Sea of Unconsciousness, quickly fled back to the human world. He originally thought that his dual path was almost rare in the world, and there were not many extraordinary people who could take action and were stronger than him. But now he felt that this world was still too dangerous. The moment he opened his eyes and saw Gwen, he was actually somewhat moved - he finally saw a normal person.
Originally I thought that mortals were too weak, but now I just think that being a little weak is also good. The fight that just now penetrated the entire Sea of Unconsciousness was really too terrifying.
Isaac was a man of strong character. The moment he saw Gwen, he immediately understood what had happened: he was most likely being targeted by some terrifying being, who could fight Lina back and forth and was much more powerful than him. Even a supernatural being like him had to be bullied by others, not to mention a mortal like Gwen.
He immediately asked Gwen to leave quickly. After all, he was a supernatural being, so of course he had to cover Gwen's retreat.
Gwen is the hope of the Resistance and his friend.
Friend, this is too luxurious a word for an intelligence officer, but at that moment, this word really came to his mind.
Then Gwen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Thinking of the scene at that time, Isaac couldn't help but twitching his eyes, and his face became even more stinky.
Lina was simply wounded by a musket? And then she escaped like that? This, this shouldn't be possible! Then the resistance army rushed into Grizzly Town in one go? That was a fully-organized Winter Wolves, a full 200 cavalry. Not to mention 200 people, even if it was 200 pigs, it might take a day to catch them all, right?
Originally, Isaac wanted to take some risks and help the resistance army to create peace for a while.
As a result, he got trapped and nearly died. Looking back, he found that the Resistance Army not only fought for peace with their own hands, but also rescued him. This gap made Isaac particularly disappointed.
Isaac is not a weak character. The development of the Ash Alliance has not been smooth, but every time there was a crisis, he personally took action and tried to resolve the difficulties. Why is it the other way around when it comes to the Resistance?
Gwen didn't notice Isaac's disappointment, she was thinking about the upcoming battle.
Now Grizzly Town is completely controlled by the Resistance. They are not short of food for the time being and have plenty of manpower.
Everything looks great.
But Gwen knew it was just an appearance.
The resistance only dispersed the Winter Wolves led by the Alpha Wolf, but there are more than one Winter Wolves.
There were Winter Wolves stationed in three towns, and the combined number of cavalry in the other two towns was no less than hers.
And those two towns happened to be between the camp in the forest and Grizzly Town.
If they wanted to get back to the camp, they would have to pass through two towns, and it was obvious that the winter wolves would not give up.
Fighting the Winter Wolves on the plains was too risky, and they would likely outnumber them.
It's like seeking death.
The other option is to hold on to Grizzlytown.
As a cavalry, the Winter Wolf can move as fast as the wind on the plains, but it has one shortcoming: it is not good at attacking strongholds.
They did not carry any heavy firepower, and cavalry sieges were difficult to carry out in the first place. With cover, the threat of pistols was reduced to a minimum.
Therefore, as long as the resistance forces want to defend it, there is a high probability that they can do so.
Although Grizzly Town has no strategic location to defend and doesn't even have a wall, the resistance troops are now numerous and can dig fortifications and build some crude defensive facilities.
It is crude, but that does not mean it is ineffective - the pistol cavalry's ability to attack is almost non-existent. They naturally have a great advantage in fighting on flat ground, but it is impossible for them to fire at the resistance forces in the fortifications.
The resistance army is no longer as poor as before. After they occupied Grizzly Town, they naturally took over the Winter Wolves' barracks.
Horses are fine, as not many people in the resistance army can ride them, but the firearms and supplies of the Winter Wolves can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the resistance army.
The muskets used by the pistol cavalry and the muskets used by the Empire are of the same origin, and the principles are almost identical. They can be used directly after a little practice. It can be said to be a seamless connection. The combat effectiveness of the resistance army was instantly raised a lot.
Therefore, Gwen once hesitated whether to just stay in Grizzly Town.
But... this is the North, and Count Bazel has more than one army. As long as the Winter Wolves surround Grizzly Town, the resistance army will almost certainly die.
There was no way to escape, how could he run on the plain with his two legs and cavalry? So Gwen set his sights on the nearby city, the now unguarded Sleddingburg.
