Chapter Ninety-Seven: Darkness Strikes
A "click" sound sounded, startling Renault, who was looking at the distance in a daze, turned his head to see that a human head appeared next to the fort and was smiling at them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a closer look, Renault realized that the human head had come out of the door after opening a board of the same color as the surrounding one, and then saw Logan greet him.
"Hey, there's a lot of that. "The man who crawled out, Logan, called him Xiaoli, who also seemed to be a warrior of the Holy See, a warrior who was carrying out defensive work inside the city walls.
Logan smiled and said, "These people are good, how are you there?"
"It's the same old thing, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem this time, and you can feel the darkness coming. Xiaoli put away his smile and said with a somewhat solemn face.
"Rest assured, rest assured, how could something happen to the Holy Shield City. Loka waved his hand and signaled that he would do his job.
Xiao Li ignored him, but turned his head to look at Renault and a few people, and then said, "Thank you for your help, let's drink together after the fight!"
Renault smiled and nodded, these low-level combatants didn't look like that kind of magic stick at all, they were similar to them, and it wasn't too much to make friends.
After saying that, Xiaoli drilled down again, and after that, everyone didn't talk much, but Shauna and An Luoluo were still secretly eating candy, and they didn't realize it at all.
Renault looked at the dark woods in the distance, and obviously felt that the commotion in the woods was getting more and more, the canopy of the trees kept shaking, and even some trees fell down directly, I don't know if it was Renault's illusion, he actually felt that there was a trace of black gas that began to spread to this sacred city.
"Hey, don't be nervous, Aegis City isn't that fragile. Renault suddenly felt a touch on his arm, and when he looked down, it was Shauna.
Renault showed an inexplicable smile when he saw him, and Shauna knew what he remembered when he smiled like this, and couldn't help but step on him angrily, and lowered his voice: "Don't say it!"
Renault was trampled on, and he couldn't speak, so he had to make a gesture to say that he would never say it, but he was so troubled by Shauna, the depression in his heart just now dissipated a lot, and people were a lot more relaxed, whatever, the sky fell and there was a tall man staring, what did he care.
"You wait, don't leave behind me. Renault gathered his attention and continued to look ahead through the battlements, his voice a little ethereal.
Shauna was stunned for a moment, looking at Renault's emaciated body, a warmth welled up from the bottom of his heart, he didn't talk or speak, he just nodded lightly, and he didn't know if Renault received him.
There is still a large open space behind Renault, but now it is full of people, several rows of Holy See archers are on standby, behind them are huge throwing stones, this kind of low-cost but lethal equipment is still very popular, next to the trebuchet is a high platform crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows have been wound, ready to go, and then there are various groups of people who have received the light summoning order, this wall is as wide as the main street in the city.
Renault and their forts are also full of forts next to them, and there are soldiers guarding one by one, they all have solemn expressions and solemn expressions, but Renault and their atmosphere is more relaxed.
Finally, the commotion in the woods was getting closer and closer, and it was close to the edge of the woods, everyone stopped talking, the originally noisy city wall was strangely completely quiet, everyone held their breath, Renault and Ngawang were even more nervous and sweaty, in the past they could only experience a positional battle, but now this is a real battle to defend the city, and I don't know what will happen.
Finally, people could see the first dark creature that came out, it was a zombie, a zombie that was extremely badly rotten, but it was still vaguely recognizable as a woman, her clothes were already rotten, and there were crawling maggots on her broken body, which was limping and approaching the Aegis City very slowly.
Slowly, zombies appeared, and there were skeletons in the middle, they were the lowest level of darkness, and they were also the largest in number, and the gap in the woods came out of the zombies, skeletons, and the edge line of the sea of trees was very long, but there were monsters in every place with such a long edge line, and only the sound of them walking around the field was left, slow, but firm, and walked towards the Holy Shield City without the slightest hesitation.
Still no one spoke, everyone held their breath and looked at the scene in front of them, they were still appearing, constantly appearing, they were tides, slowly invading, slowly invading, they did not have a strong momentum, but the number of horrors made everyone tremble, the number was still increasing, there was no end to the increase, even Renault's face was a little pale, the open space outside the city wall was very wide, but it was covered by darkness a little bit.
The pressure on everyone's hearts is getting bigger and bigger, there are too many of them, it's really too much, the invisible momentum is almost overwhelming, people who are not there will never know what it's like to face so many undead creatures, if there is no city wall, I'm afraid many people can't be calm, and the timid people have already fled.
Renault only felt a trace of coldness slowly creeping up from the soles of his feet, just these undead creatures that appeared were already terrifying, but he could clearly see that the vast sea of trees was still shaking, and he couldn't see which canopy was still with all his eyes, which meant that there were countless dark creatures coming over, darkness, to take back his rights from the light!
Finally, a melodious attack horn sounded, a magic cannon, began to explode brilliant sparks, crossbow arrows were not willing to be lonely, with traces of fighting spirit rushed into the darkness, the dull sound of trebuchets continued to sound, a piece of boulder like a meteorite smashed into the darkness in front of him, the archers fired thousands of arrows, the sky seemed to be completely covered by arrow feathers for a moment, even the moonlight dimmed, the magicians threw out the magic they had prepared for a long time, and the brilliant light suddenly illuminated the front of the city wall as if it were day.
The first magic cannon landed, and a huge bang sounded, followed by a series of violent explosions, the sound was deafening, and all the scenery was covered between the smoke and dust, and the flying smoke and dust even shrouded the city wall, and for a while nothing could be seen clearly.
Finally waited until the smoke and dust dispersed, people hurriedly checked the results of the battle, at a glance, the earth almost seemed to be ploughed over and over again, there were potholes everywhere, the zombies who were originally marching have become broken corpses everywhere at the moment, and puffs of black smoke continued to rise, this attack almost wiped out all the undead creatures that appeared before, and even the trees on the edge of the darkness were on fire, and many undead creatures that did not fall down struggled in the flames, and they fell unwillingly for a long time.
Bursts of cheers erupted from the city walls, and under a round of attacks, the power of light was fully displayed.
"Haha, these poor reptiles, the city wall can't be touched!" said Loka excitedly, he had just seen the cannonball he fired blow up more than a dozen zombies at once.
"Let's give it a try, shall we. Ngawang said pitifully, he thought the cannon was cool now, and he had to try it himself.
Rogan and the two were excited, but also refreshed, pulled Ah Wang, taught him how to use it after a while, and promised to let Ah Wang fight the next shot.
Renault also smiled on the side, this firepower is really fierce, and now it is really difficult to get close to the city wall.
After a while, zombies and skeletons came out of the jungle, and after a certain number of these monsters came out, another round of bombardment defeated them again without suspense.
Bombardment round after round, and then the magic cannons had to be temporarily suspended because of the heat, and then they could only attack in turn with various large equipment, there was no cheering, everyone was looking at the zombies that kept pouring out with ugly faces, they couldn't remember how many attacks they launched, the mutilated corpses had been covered with a thick layer, and there was a smell of burnt black and burnt everywhere, but it was not over, no matter how they attacked, there would still be zombies coming out of the endless darkness, skeletons, they would not be afraid, they would not retreat, they walked in step by step, stepping on the corpses and approaching firmly, and the sea of trees had burned on the edge, the fire shines on the faces of these monsters, and it looks even more hideous.
"Oh my God, how can there be so many monsters. Ruruel let out a weak **, and even An Luoluo on the side was amazed, she had never seen so many zombies and skeletons gathered together in the darkness.
"Damn, the temperature of the magic cannon is too high, and I have to rest again, these damn undead can't be killed no matter how much they kill!" Logan said with a hard slam on the ground.
Not only here, many turrets have to rest, otherwise the magic cannons will collapse, and Reynolds has moved up and down a few times to drop magic bombs, but these undead creatures have no tendency to decrease at all, and they are still like black tides constantly coming out of the sea of trees, endlessly.
Fighting, no, it should be said that it is a massacre, a complete slaughter, countless mutilated corpses have covered the ground outside the city walls, and the number of corpses is constantly increasing, but despite this, these zombies are constantly approaching the city walls, the archers' strings are broken, the crossbow arrows are shooting empty boxes and boxes, the magicians are running out of magic, but their numbers are still increasing! No matter how you kill them, they really have no end at all, step by step towards the city wall, getting closer and closer, but you have no choice, fortunately, the city wall is fifty meters high, even if they reach the city wall, it will not help.
Renault watched the black tide slowly approaching, only felt a burst of weakness, there was no way, only to watch them slowly approach, watching those hideous faces gradually clear, they can't speak, they don't scream, they don't have extra movements, but even their steps, they seem to be stepping on people's hearts, this army without words is like a most terrifying monster, slowly approaching you, wanting to devour you, and you have no way.
The firepower on the city wall is a lot weaker, and there will be no salvo, all of them are alternate attacks, in order to ensure the continuity of the attack, finally, the first zombie touched the white city wall with a faint cyan color, and then more and more zombies touched the city wall, and the people on the city wall can already clearly see their hideous faces, like evil ghosts, the eyes glowing with green light are bloodthirsty, dark, and plundering.
Then something terrifying happened, Renault could clearly see a male zombie raise his head and show a hideous smile at him! Yes, Renault saw it very clearly, the zombie actually smiled! Before Renault could react, he saw the zombie "bang" and slammed his head on the thick city wall, and suddenly black blood splattered, and the blackened brain explodes a lot of demonic blood on the white city wall!
Then more and more zombies smashed their heads on the city wall, and the city wall at the bottom was full of dull crashing sound for a while, everyone was dumbfounded, their faces were pale, and the scene in front of them was too weird, whether it was a skeleton or a zombie, all of them hit the city wall like suicide, and then fell to the ground, and then the zombie skeleton behind him stepped on the corpse of his companion, repeating the action just now.
Renault understood at a glance that these monsters wanted to use their corpses to build a ladder to the top of the city wall, but the wall was fifty meters high! a full fifty meters! How many dark creatures would have to die to fill the height to fifty meters! Renault shuddered at the thought of that number.
Suddenly, Renault heard those zombies and skeletons let out an ugly roar, and when he stretched out his head to look, Renault understood what was happening, and holes were being revealed in the wall of the city wall, and streams of liquid were pouring out of it, and Renault recognized that it was holy water.
Renault was also shocked in his heart, damn, this holy amount of water, I'm afraid it is calculated with a bucket, it is really too extravagant, but with these holes, it is not so easy for these zombies to build up.
Renault frowned and looked at the undead creatures that kept emerging in the distance, and he really understood that even if that was the case, I am afraid that this endless stream of undead creatures would still be able to build up sooner or later, and it would depend on whether there was any way on the Holy See's side.
Very suddenly, a point of light lit up from the jungle, just when the others were inexplicable, Renault's face changed, and he scolded and pulled down Shauna, who was still watching, these lights Renault recognized, this is clearly a sign that the skeleton mage is ready to throw magic, but the number is a little too much, and the entire sea of trees is almost lit up, although it may not be very powerful, but such a large amount of magic is thrown down, and it is enough to be hit.
Then Renault heard a burst of shouting and panic, it seemed that some people were intercepting those magic, the explosions kept coming, basically sounding in front, obviously the interception still had some effect, but those magic were still too much, and then Renault heard a series of explosions over his head, rubble flying, buzzing in his ears, and his consciousness fell into chaos......
