The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

The First Defence line was unable to defend against the enemy’s onslaught and was completely crushed and taken over within two hours of the attack.

They were unable to defend against the wave of enemies and the flag of Arkham was already fluttering on the fort.

The Seven Defense Lines stood side by side covering the entire border.

The distance between each line varied from 100-400 Km.

First, the Sixth and Seventh defence line was attacked at the same time.

The seventh and Sixth were able to hold on while the first one fell easily.

The Commander attacking the First Defense line became overconfident due to taking over the place with minimal loss. So, he took another step forward and went on to attack the Second Defence line and tried to wind up things quickly.

Since the signal had been jammed, the Defense line was attacked and others weren’t able to send the signal due to the mana signal jammer device.

Only when the Messenger carrying the news entered the other lines, the news was paused and it caused chaos all over the place.

At the same time, as soon as they heard that the First Defense line fell, Alex along with others hurried their way to provide support.

The nobles were out of breath. Even though they didn’t want to, they had to run for a long time.

The fourth defence line was at the back so the distance to the other was naturally greater. To reach others quickly, they had been running as fast as they could.

The officer said that it would take six hours to go there and after running for around three hours, there were more than three hours to go.

The nobles swore a lot inwardly. They were in the reserve forces and due to an emergency, they were forced to gather up and move.

They thought it would be an enjoyable vacation but the reality struck them hard.

Meller, who was among the nobles, gritted his teeth and while others were complaining, he was looking for another thing.

‘Can Alex reach there on time? Would it make any difference even if he reached there?’

As soon as he heard the news, Alex led his troops and ran straight towards the Second Defense line instead of the first. By the time they received the news that the First Defence had fallen, Alex predicted that the Second Defense Line would be next and the Third Defence line might not provide any help to salvage the situation.

The Third Defense didn’t send any troops and tried to keep their men and began the preparation to defend.

And things went as he predicted and they received the news that Arkham soldiers were moving towards the Second Defense line.

Most of the soldiers were unable to keep up with Alex’s march and those who were left behind were being led by the nobles.

Only 900 men were able to keep up with the pace and despite several oppositions, Alex took all the war horses to reach the place quicker.

While Alex was training hard, the nobles were lazing around and we were out of shape and as soon as the signal was sent, Alex was the first one to reach where they were gasping to take a breath and rolling on the ground and looked as if they were not on the verge of dying.

Some of them were so exhausted that they ordered the soldiers and their men to carry them forward.

….

In the Second Defence Line.

The smoke of war had already reached the place.

BANG!

BOOM!

“Smash the gates into pieces, my man.”

“Destroy your enemies.”

The Arkham Commander ordered his troops who were pushing back the troops of Kinley.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

Large shots were fired one after another which exploded onto the walls.

They didn’t set the siege or ladders due to archers posing a threat unlike the previous times so they used flares to break down the walls causing chaos and then smashing the gates.

After decimating the wall, and taking down the soldiers, Arkham soldiers deployed the seize and ladder.

The gates which were made of iron had been rusted and their durability had decreased a lot due to negligent maintenance, and Arkham soldiers knocked down the gates into tatters with just a few hits from the seized weapons.

Due to the flares, the archers were all winded up and the remaining ones stepped back due to the assault of flares and archers from the other sides.

That was where the hell began.

Ladders were soon out on the walls and enemies started to pour in from all sides.

Screams and roars of enemy forces rushing up from gates like tides could be heard from all sides.

Even though the soldiers of Kinley gave their all and fought, they weren’t cut for battle due to losing their touch and soon found themselves in despair.

The Commander Of Second Defence, Count Macon started to lose his heart.

His face became pale as a sheet of paper.

He was a man who never imposed any military orders and embezzled all the funds sent for the military to his house and grew richer and richer.

He lived in luxury and comfort without the fear of anything.

There was no war going around here so what was the need to waste money on the military?

‘It’s all over.”

“I can’t die here in this place. I have a long life to live. I have a ton of riches lying around.”

“Holding onto this place is nothing but suicide, I need to run away from here.”

He made a quick judgement and instead of thinking about ways to correct the situation, he focused on his survival.

Count Macon shouted”Don’t let them cross the place. Many lives would be in peril. If required, we will lay our lives on the line.”

Contrary to his words, he sneaked out.

Following him, his men started to run away quickly with him.

He tried to get through the back of the Defense lines.

“Commander, where are you going?”

“We need your orders. You can’t leave your post.”

Some people asked him that but he lied to all of them saying that he was going out to inform the Centre as the mana stone isn’t working.

But an official seeing his frustrated expression knew something was amiss and tried to pull him.

The flares changed their projection and instead of firing at the front, started to fire at the back causing the walls at the place to break apart.

Due to the faint tremors, he was horrified and spoke without any thought.

“I need to get out of here.”

His words were heard by others who were risking their lives.

Some soldiers tried to gang upon him and pinned him down but they were not his match.

“You are leaving us and running away.”

Macon immediately reacted and hit the soldiers and threw them away.

The official stumbled back and fell from the wall and landed on the ground among the sea of people.

His hands broke due to the fall and he screamed in panic, seeing enemies rushing from all sides.

On top of the wall, another huge fireball was coming towards them.

He along with many gave up on hope as they felt they would die as soon as the ball fell on them but…

A straight light flashed through the fireball and then the fire exploded into pieces.
