Under the bright and dark sky, the army of the dead and the warriors of El Luk are entangled in the city walls. The firelight from the collision of the iron weapons reflected the blood and sweat of the soldiers, illuminating their resolute faces.

With the sound of bloodstained battle flags, Kowe-Rambo held a shield taller than the others, resisted the pain in his bones caused by the impact, and stabbed through the gap between the shields with the short spear in his hand.

"My lord, we will not hold out until dawn if we continue like this. ”

Mandel, the commander of the City Watch, saw that Corway-Rambo was free, and immediately leaned in, "We have to think of another way to defeat the undead army that has attacked the walls." ”

"Well..."Cove-Rambo stopped his stabbing movements, covered the whole person behind the shield to resist the impact of the undead army, and shouted in a loud voice, "What's the news from Major General Buck?"

"No news!"

"Damn it!" Cove-Rambo unveiled his mask and cursed in a low voice, spitting out a mouthful of phlegm and taking a deep breath, "use what was left behind in the Mage Tower." ”

"Now?" Mandel froze.

"Not now, do you want to wait until we're all killed?" Cove-Rambo stared at him and pushed Mandel away impatiently, lifting the short spear in his hand and stabbing it again, and then shouted, "Hold me down, reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Cove-Rambo's shouts were negligible to the shouts on the battlefield, and naturally few people heard them, but his heralds would carry the news to all corners of the battlefield.

In the fierce battle, there were some more magic apprentices in light armor on the city wall, these magic apprentices did not directly participate in the battle, they stayed quietly behind the defensive line like a scholar in chaos, unhurriedly sketching the magic circle in their hands, but for a long time there was no magic to support the battle ahead.

After the apprentices had been sketching the circle for more than ten minutes, the standard-bearers of the city wall towers suddenly waved the command flag in their hands, conveying orders from the headquarters to the troops fighting in the various defense areas of the city wall:

Five minutes later...

The whole army retreats!

Although the commanders of the various areas of the city wall were very surprised by this order from the headquarters, they did not intend to refuse, or they had been expecting such an order from the headquarters for a long time.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and most of the wounded soldiers on the city wall began to evacuate in an orderly manner, except for a few wounded soldiers who had been broken. However, the magic apprentices at the rear of the battle line did not join the retreat, and they still stood quietly in place as they had been at the beginning, as if they were maintaining some unknown complex magic.

The Undead intensified their attacks as soon as the main force of the City Guard withdrew from the walls, and the few warriors left behind were swallowed up by a massive tide of death almost in the blink of an eye. Then, the vast undead army began to storm the mages who were only a stone's throw away from them.

"呲呲"

A sound that made people's gums itch like iron tools rubbing against each other suddenly echoed in the noisy battlefield, so that the officers and soldiers who had just evacuated the city wall couldn't help but turn their heads to look sideways.

On the city walls,

The undead legions in the charge were about to drown in their charging army of mage apprentices who were not worth mentioning. But just as the ghoul's blade fell, a transparent curtain of light suddenly cut itself between them and the magic apprentice, preventing the murderous dead from taking a single step.

The screams of the undead, who challenged the limits of human hearing, filled the walls of the city as soon as the light curtain appeared. The necromancers behind it began to cast spells together, and even more intense evil energy suddenly descended, and the attached dark fog instantly occupied half of the city wall, and the darkness began to erode the only remaining light on the city wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, countless giant hands with black strange flames poked out of the darkness and stretched out towards the magic light curtain that was struggling to support in the middle of the city wall, and the momentum of devouring the sky and the earth made people unconsciously give birth to the idea that the magic light curtain would be shattered in the next moment.

"呲呲"

At this critical moment, the strange itching sound of the gums just now came again. I saw that under the dark night outside the light curtain, the blood-colored ground that was infected with the city suddenly emitted a red and purple ray, which was extremely dazzling in the darkness.

When the crimson rays appeared, the originally transparent light curtain suddenly changed to red, and the huge wind blades that seemed to fall from the sky also stirred back and forth outside the light curtain at the same time. The vast army of ghouls on the city walls was dismembered by these wind blades in the blink of an eye, and then swallowed by the strange red rays.

"Zilazila"

The dizzying sound continued, and it grew louder and louder, dragging out the uncomfortable screams of the Undead Legion.

The soldiers who retreated to the bottom of the city walls were frightened by the sight of the gods descending from the walls, and began to pray to the gods of their respective beliefs.

Guarded in the middle, Cove-Rambo looked at the dazzling image, lamenting the insignificance of human beings and gaining a deeper understanding of the Mage Tower.

"The Mage's Tower is a circle of sorcerers, and they use the blood of the warriors on the walls. City Watch Commander Mandel's expression was a little rich, "This is a branch of spells that the Old Empire explicitly forbade to study, and the Mage Tower once sent their elite to hunt down sorcerers who studied blood magic throughout the continent. ”

"It turns out that magic is not good or evil, and now the 'blood magic' in your mouth has also saved hundreds of thousands of people in this city?" Cove-Rambo shrugged indifferently, "And since the Mage Tower dares to arrange this kind of magic in front of us, do you think they will be afraid of our accusations?"

"I've heard a long time ago that the future of humanity lies in the Mage Tower," Mandel whispered, "and I don't know how long we have to wait for such a future." ”

"Obviously, we can't wait for the future of the Mage Tower, our current future is in Crewe City. Cove-Rambo began to express his opinion in public.

Mandel didn't respond to his boss this time, because it wasn't something he could talk about.

"The undead will face an angry counterattack next. Cove-Rambo gathered the mess in his mind and looked at Mandel very seriously, "Let the soldiers hurry up and rest." With that, he looked back at the fading magic on the walls, "But first we need to take back control of the walls. ”

"Yes, sir. Mandel's face was very solemn.

The order to re-enter the walls was quickly conveyed, and after seeing the god-like magic with their own eyes, the soldiers instinctively resisted climbing the walls, but their personal wishes had no effect on the military orders.

On the city wall, the darkness that had been shrouded had been dispelled, and the soldiers climbed the city wall and began to clear the mountain of stumps and broken arms as soon as they climbed the wall. At the same time, they would also look curiously at the mages resting beside them, and at this moment they no longer dared to laugh at these weak mages.

...

The remains of the ghouls were quickly removed from the walls, and a fire ignited them directly under the walls. Behind the fire, the soldiers of the city walls waited for a short break.

And the huge army of death under the dark night sky outside the city wall, the follow-up attacking troops retreated decisively after the attack on the city wall was frustrated, but they did not give up, and a larger siege force was being assembled.

Time is always lost, and the fire under the walls is slowly subsiding in the erosion of time, and more and more undead are gathering beyond the firelight. In the faint light, it can be found that this time the undead legion finally used their war fortresses, human-faced beasts and other siege beasts.

Seeing all this, Cove Rambo couldn't help but sigh to Mandel: "It seems that our opponent intends to completely knock us down this time." ”

Mandel was not interested in joking, he subconsciously looked at the young faces nearby under the lights, gritted his teeth and asked, "Can't you retreat to the inner city to fight?"

"The Undead Legion is different from the enemies of the past..."Cove-Rambo saw the change in the other party's expression, he stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "There are still nearly 200,000 residents in the outer city who give up the outer city, it is equivalent to waiting for death, we can't feed so many people at all, unless..."

Mandel naturally knew what his boss was going to say, he used to think that the nobles in the high were always making some very stupid decisions, but now he couldn't help but think about some things that he used to think was disgusting.

The conversation between the two ended, Cove-Rambo didn't want to waste any more energy, and Mandel was thinking about what to do in the next battle, and the low-level officers around him kept shouting: "Check your equipment, shields, cuirass, helmets, and see if the mace in your hand is in good condition, these are the keys to your life." ”

Amid the noisy roars of the officers, a burst of slightly eager footsteps was very abrupt, and the silent Cove-Rambo and Mandel successively cast their eyes on the place where the footsteps came from.

It was Minnie Vatu of MI2, and her simple leather armor was now wearing a new silk robe, which made her whole person unusually eye-catching on the city wall.

"It seems that you have brought good news. Cove-Rambo immediately understood why Minnie Vatu was so high-profile.

"Major General Barker's army has now reached our flank!" Minnie Vatu said deliberately loudly. The noisy military orders of the surrounding officers came to an abrupt end after her words landed, and the original disgust in the eyes of countless soldiers looking at her turned into surprise.

Minnie Vatu gave a rare smile and continued under the gaze of countless people, "Moreover, they have launched an attack on the flank of the undead army, and perhaps you can still hear the fierce fighting if you listen carefully. ”

"Hopefully, Major General Barker's troops will be able to crush this group of ugly corpses. Cove-Rambo praised from the bottom of his heart, and the iconic smile immediately appeared on his face as soon as he was relieved.

"In addition, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Sir Bowenlet, has received information that his troops, which had been deployed five hours earlier, were now hurrying towards us. Minnie Wattle once again shouted another piece of good news.

"Haha!" Cove-Rambo's eyes sparkled in the light of the fire, he tilted his head and laughed, and shouted as he looked at the officers and soldiers on the left and right, "Do you hear me, my robes and brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, and we are not alone. ”

"Five hours!" Cove-Rambo stretched out his palm to reveal five fingers, "I just need to hold on for another five hours, just wait until dawn... Victory will be for our people of Iruk!"

Mandel took the opportunity to raise the long sword in his hand and roared fiercely, "For the Eluk Leader!"

"For the Eluk Leader!" the officers and soldiers immediately stood up and roared.

"Ahh

The fire slowly waned in the roar, and Corve-Rambo tightened the weapon in his hand, looked sideways at Minnie Vartu and asked, "What is Darek Danny doing now?"

"He had been staring at the Fipert Bob mansion from the beginning. ”

"Now don't be on the looks, you go tell Darik Danny, knock that damn altar to powder, and burn it until there's not a single scum left!"

...

The battle in Elok City was cut off by the huge wind blade and stopped for half an hour, then resumed with the screams and trumpets of the undead legion. This time, however, the undead legion, though more powerful, was violently held back by the walls at the beginning of the battle.

Heavy crossbows and arrows carved with magic runes, goblin explosives, and magic scrolls from the Mage's Tower were thrown off the walls as if they didn't need money, leaving the advancing undead army to suffer heavy losses within half an hour of attack.

What's more, just as the main force of the Immortal Legion was gathering heavy troops to storm the city wall, the army of Major General Buck on the flank also spared no effort to launch a strong attack on its army formation!

Despite fighting on two fronts, the undead army's determination to attack Iruk City remained unchanged, and they gathered at the city walls to send a large army to regroup and charge again and again after repeated attacks were frustrated.

In just a few hours, both sides suffered heavy losses in this war of attrition.

Time is rapidly lost in the bloody battle, and the dark horizon has also ushered in the light in the battle entangled between the two sides, and the entire battlefield is gradually revealed in the light. The piles of charred corpses under the city walls and the dense accumulation of ghoul stumps nearby formed a picture that made the veterans of the city wall who were accustomed to seeing 'hell' can't help but show fear.

But the panic can only be instantaneous, because the brutal bloody battle continues, and the undead army does not retreat after dawn as Co-Rambo imagined, but without the madness of the night.

After the bloody battle last night, both sides are already on the verge of collapse!

And now, it's up to who collapses first...
