Chapter Ninety-Nine: Crises Arise

With the city gates gone, a large number of ogres, bears, goblins, and gnolls frantically cheered the leader's strength, and then drooled and swarmed into the city, and their feast had begun.

Seeing a large number of monsters pouring into the city, the originally panicked city guards and levies instead plucked up the courage to rush forward, even the three groups of conscripts who came in time when they heard the movement, they didn't need any orders, they all grabbed their weapons and rushed forward, even if their hands and feet trembled with fear.

This doesn't need an order at all, their families are in the city, and once these monsters are allowed to enter the city, they know what the consequences will be. What's more, military law is not a joke, they have the responsibility to defend the city, and the consequences of this failure are best to be all assigned to the death camp as cannon fodder, and even their families will be driven out of the city, so they will not take a step back even if they die in battle, unless the enemy's strength exceeds their psychological limit.

It's a pity that although their courage is commendable, they are not only facing powerful monsters such as ogres, bear goblins, and gnolls, but also two legendary realm powerhouses that are out of specification, they are monsters among monsters, if they are stopped by a group of small soldiers, then the legendary powerhouses will not have such a high status.

For the soldiers in front of him, Akon didn't even have the strength to take a second look, and waved the weird war hammer in his hand casually, as long as he was hit, let alone the whole corpse, not even a large fragment, the whole person was shattered by the amazing force. And the splatters of flesh and blood often cause large areas of vomiting and collapse, and the next fate is naturally needless to say, those monsters still like these fresh food poured with condiments.

Perhaps whetted by the smell of blood, Akon picked up a thick piece of thigh meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, satisfied with the taste.

As for his deputy, the Ogre Giant Hammer Bone Stick, he had long been carrying a thigh and nibbling on it, just like a human gnawing on a chicken leg, eating all over his body with blood and minced meat.

The two bosses are like this, and their subordinates naturally don't need to say much, ogres are already famous for eating people, and jackals are not to be outdone, only bear goblins are better, but they don't exclude it, after all, the bandit group is not a big fish and meat every day, it's good to have meat to eat, how can you be a picky eater.

The act of large-scale cannibalism caused a huge panic among the soldiers, after all, the city defense soldiers were more experienced, and they were no strangers to monsters, and they had also seen the scene of monsters eating people. But the conscripts are not good, they themselves are civilians, although they are also trained, but more as cannon fodder during the siege or breaching of the city, then after seeing this kind of scene, the courage that was originally mustered faded, and the idea of hiding with their families began to take over. Rushed by the two legendary powerhouses of Akon's bone club, the levies were the first to disperse, leaving only some of the city defenders who had suffered heavy losses to defend their limited positions.

Fortunately, the large number of corpses diverted the attention of the monsters, and Arkon had no intention of going deep into the city.

To be able to lead a notorious bandit group to the present, Akon must not only have strong strength, but also have some brains, after all, it is a tradition for the righteous camp to form a group to destroy evil, and he can't live long without a little brain.

Akon knows very well that the establishment of a country is not only a matter of population, the first condition is to have a legendary-level combat power, whether it is a legendary powerhouse or a legendary item, or even a legendary scroll, as long as it can pose a threat to the life of the legendary powerhouse. Once you go deeper, you will naturally gain more, but in case the Bos family comes to break the net with hole cards, he will have to be injured even if he doesn't die, plus the Johnson sacrifice in the Temple of Courage in Bose City, the combat power is equivalent to a middle-level legend, in case the divine power is triggered again, it is not good that the two of them have to leave one, it is better to take it when they see it, eat a full meal first, and then knock down the nearby city defense camp, collect some weapons and armor or something.

As for the cooperation with Satin, for Akon, who has ogre blood, who would be trustworthy with food, if it weren't for the necromancer who was all bones and full of corpses, he would have eaten Satin as a snack a long time ago.

"Nasty humans, delicious humans." Akon muttered, then tore a thigh from a dying levy and munched on it, without even looking inside the city.

It was already dark, and the firelight of the fireball bombardment of the city gate could be seen from half the city, not to mention the louder and louder fighting sound that followed, which let everyone know that something was wrong.

This shows the benefits of the conscription system, as long as they live in the city, all able-bodied men who have reached the age of sixteen are required to undergo a month's training each year, and prepare themselves with at least a short spear and a shield as weapons before the age of eighteen, and immediately take up arms at the sound of the alarm bells, and form a squad of ten men and a brigade of every hundred men to be ready to standby.

This system is most useful when a city is under siege, allowing it to maximize the use of its power.

But this system is only for the normal situation, even if the enemy is not afraid of attacking the city, but when the enemy has a legendary powerhouse to lead the team, it is not a routine. The legendary strong man with non-conventional force can be regarded as an elite army of 1,000 people in itself, and in the absence of a strong man of equal ability to confront him, he can only rely on the brutal tactics of the crowd to consume the opponent's physical strength, which requires extremely high morale and execution of soldiers, which is obviously impossible for conscripts.

What's more, they are two legendary powerhouses, or ogres known for their strength and endurance, the most terrifying thing is that both of them have legendary weapons in their hands, don't want to deal with them without three or five thousand regular troops, as for the levies, that's a joke.

Therefore, the assembled levies, after hearing the news of the enemy from the fleeing recruits, no longer had the courage they had before, and they piled up stones and planks at the street corners as bunkers for defense, so as to protect their families, and they did not intend to send them to death unless they received a direct order from the city defense battalion.

Through special channels, Merrick and Cusco received the news almost at the same time, and the two of them felt like being struck by lightning at the same time, which was completely unbelievable, but the facts told them that they had to believe that there were two more enemies of the legendary realm!

As the first and second leaders of Bos City, the two of them are very clear about the strength of Bose City, whether it is the Lord's Mansion or the Temple of Courage, there are one or two master-level existences, and there are several high-level professionals, which are enough to resist a legendary powerhouse, and if it is a strong person who has just entered the legend, he can even leave the other party.

If the whole city is mobilized, it will be enough to stop another legendary powerhouse under the leadership of the city defense soldiers and the elite guards of the lord's mansion, but the loss will take at least ten years to recover.

But these two legendary powerhouses can bring a large group of monsters into the city, the ogre itself is a powerful monster that is not inferior to the middle-level professionals, although the bear goblin and the jackal are worse, but they are not ordinary soldiers can resist, which greatly weakens the role of ordinary soldiers, unless the temple of courage pours out, rushes to the front, and risks killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred in order to win those hundreds of monsters.

For the soldiers of Bosch City, the two of them are still very confident, not to mention the priests of the Temple of Courage, they are both a bunch of battle maniacs. In this way, although a big war will inevitably suffer heavy losses, it is enough to ensure that they can survive this catastrophe, after all, the robbers are not enemies who intend to destroy the country, if the resistance is too strong, they will not hold on, so the losses will be smaller.

But the most deadly thing is that there is also a legendary necromancer lurking in the city, once the power of the whole city is mobilized, the cemetery in the city is equivalent to letting the other party choose, and then take advantage of their heavy casualties to release a few legendary necromancers, and the entire city may fall.

Monsters just eat people and rob, and they are limited by their food and carrying capacity, and the losses can be bearable, but the necromancer is the way to kill, and endless slaughter and death are their ultimate goal, and there is no possibility of letting it go at all.

Merrick breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Yan Xu was cleaning up the remaining undead, he was very glad that he still had a legendary paladin here, so that the necromancer who had not yet appeared could be regarded as someone to deal with, even if the paladin was not the opponent of the other party, at least it should be no problem for them to solve the bandits.

Although Bosch City is inevitably injured, it will not shake its foundation, and it will take one or two decades to recover.

Time is the least valuable to the old aristocracy, often spending generations and hundreds of years for a goal. It's not that they don't understand the preciousness of time, but the aristocracy is generally you have me, I have you, if you want to run faster, you have to risk being alone, for the nobles who are good at holding together and dragging each other's feet, taking yourself out of the aristocratic circle is not only a matter of breaking your muscles and bones, one will not just wait for the extermination of the clan.

So even if there is a heavy loss, as long as the direct descendants of the Bosch family are still there, the fundamental Bose City has not been destroyed, and there are people who have come to help, but once there is a problem with one of the two, the people who smiled at you not long ago will immediately put on a mask and use all kinds of vicious means to tear you apart and devour you little by little, and there are really no bones left.

What's more, an important feature of being a princely state is that in addition to being a fundamental city, it also has territories in other places, and urgently extracting some of them can also restore a lot of vitality to Bosi City, which is enough to survive this difficulty.

Although he was somewhat confident in his heart, time was running out for no one, and Merrick immediately passed the news that he had a legendary paladin here to Marquis of Bos and Cusco, so that they could make a decision on the current crisis, and he himself told Yan Xu and Johnson the extent of the crisis.

As soon as the three of them discussed, Johnson went to the city gate first with the priest who was already inexplicably excited in the Temple of Courage, and Merrick went to the Lord's Mansion, after all, all the forces of the Lord's Mansion need to be mobilized next, and it is not enough to rely on the heralds alone, he must go there in person, as for Yan Xu, he will go to the Knight's Cemetery to guard.
