Chapter 0450: Riots
There's an old saying that goes: twists and turns.
Just when Renard fantasized about getting promoted, getting a raise, becoming a general manager, becoming a CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of his life, there was a sudden riot outside the tavern.
A moment later, the tavern door was pushed open, and several mercenaries rushed in very abruptly, their faces frightened, shouting, "It's a big deal, an unknown number of demons are marching on Thor." ”
With that, they walked into the corner of the drinking crowd and shouted anxiously: "Commander, let's run, the demon is coming." ”
The leader of the mercenary group frowned, still drinking a little wine unhurriedly, and said in a very impatient tone: "What's the panic, this is Thor City, there are five thousand defenders and thousands of adventurers, and you are still afraid that the demon will come in?"
When the mercenary heard this, he couldn't take care of it, so he grabbed the big man's arm and dragged it out: "Commander, don't pretend to be garlic, there are a lot of demons coming, no less than 100,000, and most of them are high-level demons, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”
At this time, everyone in the tavern was not calm: "What? 100,000 demons? How is it possible? This is the hinterland of the kingdom!"
As if to confirm the truth of the words, a frightened cry was heard again from outside the tavern: "The devil is coming!
Hearing this voice, even the most hearted person can't sit still.
The drinkers in the tavern all poured into the street, only to see panicked figures scurrying all over the street.
The vendors' wheelbarrows were overturned everywhere, and the stalls were smashed to pieces, causing the already modest roads to be congested in an instant.
The people were all shouting at the news of the demon's entry into the city, and the fear on their faces was palpable, as if the little devil's steel fork had been poked in their ass.
The soldiers of the city team shuttled through the streets, and the cavalry shouted through the streets: "Your Excellency the Archon, all the warriors who participate in the resistance to the demon plague will be rewarded with two gold coins each, and the merit will be rewarded after the demon plague is over." ”
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and two gold coins are not a small amount, enough for mercenaries and adventurers to live happily for a long time.
So many people began to roll up their arms and sleeves, ready to face the demons head-on.
However, the next scene quickly dispelled this
A ridiculous thought, I saw several huge monsters walking towards the west of the city.
The monster was thirty or forty meters tall, its body was made up of solid boulders, and its body was burning with dark green flames, and thick black smoke rose from the cracks in the boulders, reaching the sky.
With a loud boom, countless buildings were smashed into ruins by these huge monsters.
Reynard's pupils shrank, and four words came out of his mouth: "Hellfire Demon." ”
The Hellfire Demon is an extremely powerful elemental being, but it is not naturally formed, it is created.
As soon as they formed the Hellfire Demons, they had the strength of a fighting spirit warrior, and they grew by devouring flames, and the strongest could reach the demigod realm.
These Hellfire Demons in front of them were obviously already very powerful, at least comparable to the top rank of the Legendary, and in terms of strength and vitality alone, they were even far superior to the Epic Martial Artists.
Even if Ray Dawang and Rawson were here, it would be a lot of work to deal with these big guys.
The Hellfire Demon never appeared in Southern Wilderness, as it wasn't the main target of the demon, but they were here today......
Renard suddenly had a bad premonition, is the demon going to launch a general attack on the kingdom of Arthur?
Thinking of this, he immediately said to Arka and Mark, "Quick! Let's get out of here right now!"
Although Lei Ye wanted to help the city that was about to fall into misery and despair, he still knew it.
They are alone, and there is no way to resist.
And judging from the speed of breaking the city, it was definitely not the demonic motley army that attacked Thor.
There were many people who thought the same way, so everyone began to evacuate in the direction of the other three city gates with a tacit understanding.
However, when they arrived at the city gates, they realized that something was wrong.
I saw that the iron-clad city gate was closed, and the gate made of pure steel was also lowered, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers were guarding the city gate.
Standing on the city wall, the officer shouted, "Warriors, now that the demons are raging in our land and our homeland is in flames, can you really bear to leave?"
Hearing this, there was a commotion in the crowd below: "Fuck your grandmother's dog offal, don't be with Lao Tzu."
Nonsense, hurry up and open the city gates, it is the responsibility of you soldiers and ruffians to protect your homeland, Benima pulled Lao Tzu in. ”
Hearing this, the officer's expression remained unchanged, and he said again: "It is everyone's duty to defend the homeland, let me ask, if everyone has such an idea, do you think we can defeat the demon?"
The situation is urgent, who has the leisure to fight a war of words with these guys.
Immediately, someone shouted and shouted, "Nimabo's hurry up and open the door, and you will be sent to your own death." ”
There are so many terrible demons behind him, and resisting is simply looking for death.
The others echoed, "Are you idiots or blinds, don't you see those huge monsters behind you?"
Of course, there are not a few people who make threats, after all, there are many mercenaries and adventurers in this city who are not afraid of death: "Open the city gate quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will chop you." ”
While the two sides were arguing, the sound of dull footsteps came from far to near, and two hellfire demons appeared at the end of the street, and the people fled in terror, all converging towards the city gate.
The officer's face was in a cold sweat when he saw this, but his duty was to defend the city of Thor, and if it was lost here, although he was not responsible for the leadership, it was inevitable that he would be dismissed from office.
Thinking about his bright future, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shouted: "Everyone take up arms and defend their homeland, or they all die here." ”
His idea is very simple, since he can't get benefits, then everyone will be unlucky together.
Hearing his words, one of the mercenaries yelled at the soldiers blocking the way: "Damn, you idiots, I saw the Archon flee with a large number of guards, and you are still here to defend him against the demons." ”
As soon as the words fell, an arrow hit the mercenary's throat impartially in the stunned eyes of everyone, and blood splattered everywhere.
He didn't even scream, he fell to the ground, dead without looking at him.
Then a middle-aged man in heavy armor came out of the city wall, he was holding a hard bow in his hand, obviously the arrow just now was shot by him, he glanced down with cold eyes, and said in a stern tone: "Whoever dares to bewitch the people again, this is the end!"
There was silence for a long time, and only then did someone shout in horror: "Kill, kill!"
