Chapter 68: Seven Days of Life and Death (4)
Old Mai was exhausted.
Since the battle with the Protoss, Lao Mai has been replenished with new troops, and has followed the new troops to various dangerous places in the city to strengthen the garrison. Until recently, due to his military exploits, Lao Mai was assigned to the reserve squad in the northern outer city as a commander. This is a supreme honor for Lao Mai. Prior to this, Lao Mai's family had been farming for generations, and no one was able to join the army, let alone serve as the commander of a small detachment. Even if he is only the commander of the reserve, this makes Lao Mai, who has just taken up arms, the first person in the history of Lao Mai's family.
But luck only lasted a few days, and Lao Mai, who was only dispatched after Rebeck slaughtered the garrison that had been stationed here, would never have imagined that this place would once again become a place for humans and apostles to play against each other. And this time, the apostles exerted all their might.
Lao Mai didn't have much strength, and the only thing that could distinguish him from other ordinary soldiers was his slightly brighter brain and a courage not to be afraid of death. Even though it was clearly no match for these elite soldiers of the Apostles, Old Mai still let out a loud shout, and after choosing a target, he raised his weapon and rushed towards it.
However, with just one blow, the flawless blow of the apostle's elite soldiers smashed Lao Mai's standard long sword, and the huge power also made Lao Mai spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and flew backwards and slammed into the city wall. If it weren't for the city wall, Lao Mai might have fallen under the city wall. After cutting a Guards soldier in half, the elite soldier of Master and Apprentice who had come back to his senses walked towards the injured Lao Mai with a sinister smile, the strange long knife in his hand constantly following the rotation of his wrist, making a screeching sound.
"Ahh He picked up the sword that had fallen not far away, and instead walked towards the smirking elite soldier of the Apostle.
This attempt to be a little surprised, in the face of the desire to survive, this little insect should have knelt on the ground and prayed for its mercy like the same kind it had killed before, but this person actually took up arms and wanted to do the final blow? No matter how much it was, the apostle elite soldier at this time was already very close to this thin middle-aged human. It looked condescendingly at the human who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and with a slight slash of the knife, the human must have two heads.
However, to the surprise of the Apostle's elite soldier, this human actually attacked, and he trembled and raised the long sword in his hand to slash at the head of the Apostle's elite soldier. But even in his heyday, it is difficult to say whether he could hurt this apostle, let alone suffer serious internal injuries at this time. The apostle's elite soldier sneered, stretched out a hand, grabbed the soft long sword in its eyes, and then lifted it easily, but still no matter how hard Lao Mai tried, he couldn't break free, but was also carried into the air.
"Do you think I'm going to throw you down, or do I cut you in two?" the Apostle's elite soldier looked at the human who was still trying to resist with disdain, thinking about how to get rid of it. "Well, I'd better throw you down, you deserve this honor. ”
Lao Mai just screamed, his feet kept kicking, even if he only needed to let go to break free from this bondage, but the honor of the soldier who did not know where came from made him not want to lose his weapon until he died. In this way, Lao Mai was slowly lifted to the edge of the city wall, and the apostle's elite soldiers only needed to let go of their hands, and Lao Mai would fall to the bottom of the city.
However, it did not happen as the apostle had imagined, and a second before the elite soldier tried to let go of his hand, a long black arrow stabbed into its head. In an instant, the lifeless apostle fell backwards with a bang, and the lucky old Mai was carried backwards by the huge corpse and smashed against the city wall by inertia. Although his injuries were more severe, at least he did not die from falling off the walls.
Old Mai, who had narrowly escaped, looked at the elf who had saved his life with thanks, but Ciel didn't pay any attention to this. In the few seconds that Lao Mai looked at her, three more elite soldiers of the Apostle were shot through by her long arrows.
With the urgent arrival of the medical officer, the wounded Lao Mai and other wounded were sent off the city wall in time, which became the last battle between Lao Mai and the seriously injured soldiers. "I'll be back. Lao Mai, who was carried on the stretcher, looked straight at the place where he had fought, and clenched his fists.
Old Mai was just one of the many soldiers still fighting on the northern outer wall at this time, and his injury or death did not change the status quo here. The weird-looking trio of Viren, Hill, and Qi Tianci is humanity's only reliance at this time. With the help of Sters' guards, they finally drove down all the apostles who had climbed the walls, where the bodies of humans and apostles were entangled, silently telling everything.
As all the humans sat down to rest due to exhaustion, Hill silently looked into the distance, where Wyatt was smiling lightly on a towering tree.
"No, it's not over yet!" Hill warned in hindsight, but it was a little too late. The exhausted garrison on the walls first heard the rumbling sound of the walls, followed by tremors like an earthquake. This was caused by the stones thrown by the elite apostle team that Wyatt had sent before. Hundreds of huge stones fell, and the smashed walls made a moaning sound and trembled, and the soldiers on the walls were much more uncomfortable. Once hit by these huge stones, there is no chance that the person who is hit will survive. The powerless human soldiers could only watch in despair as the stones fell from the sky, smashing them into pulp without any power to resist. Even the elementals summoned by Viren could not escape this fate.
But fortunately, the attack came and went quickly, and after less than a minute, no more stones fell, but the humans who survived did not feel a little lighter, but clenched the weapons in their hands. Because they know that the real attack of the invaders is coming.
"Come on, bloody emissaries of the expedition, turn these little bugs into another trophy of yours!" Wyatt laughed arrogantly, and in the not-so-bright moonlight, a pair of apostolic soldiers with swords on their backs had quietly stood under the walls.
