It was nearly noon, but it was dark, and heavy cumulonimbus clouds were hanging over Ramiel, blocking out the sun.

Wu Wu and Long Tian were sitting in a narrow tent, talking worriedly about the beast tide.

Inside the tent, only a faint light shines through when the curtain is blown by the wind, and the small empty barrel in the middle is lit with candles, and the atmosphere is unsettlingly low.

As they talked, Long Tian suddenly stopped saying a word, closed his eyes suddenly, and his ears moved slightly, as if he was listening to some kind of sound.

Then he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked out of the tent with his eyes blank, as if he were looking through the canvas, through the walls, and into the wilderness, as if he heard some kind of sound that frightened him.

"They're coming!" A low, muffled voice sounded.

Watching Long Tian walk out of the tent, Carefree followed, and they sped in the direction of Ramil Fortress with their front and back feet.

Other, weaker mercenaries spotted their anomaly, and although it was a little unclear, they followed them in streams.

The dark clouds rolled in the sky, even if the sun was dim, you could see that under the cumulonimbus clouds, several black bird-like creatures flew in, their skin could swallow the sun, absorbing all the light around them, and their body was like a goshawk, but it was several times larger, even if they were several kilometers away, they could feel their horror.

They were extremely fast, and in an instant they were above Lamir, and when they looked closely, they realized that these creatures were not birds, but more like dragons, dragons with rotting bodies, they were almost rotten, only a few muscles still hung on the bones, only the skull was intact, and a terrifying blue light emanated from the empty eye sockets.

These monsters, who were supposed to be in the grave, now hovered over Ramil with their shriveled entrails and parts of their skin that had lost their color, and controlled their bodies with mysterious force.

"It's a bone dragon, everyone be careful, cover your ears!"

Among the mercenaries who came out of the tent one after another, there was a ** shout. Wu Wu and Long Tian subconsciously covered their ears, and there was a sharp hiss in the distance. This hiss passes through the hands that cover the ears and goes straight to the heart of the person.

In an instant, carefree was walking on thin ice, a series of negative feelings of fear, anger, and helplessness hit like a tide, and the body seemed to be trapped in a quagmire and couldn't move, and even couldn't control his eyeballs.

At the critical moment, from Ramil came, a roar, different from the hiss of the bone dragon, this sound was loud like a dark cloud about to break through the sky, and even the illusion of worry-free felt that the sky was a little brighter.

Carefree could feel the strength in his body return, and the fear subsided like a tidal wave. The bone dragon let out a scream of rage before disappearing.

Even so, Sanssouci still felt like a prey targeted by a hunter, his heart pounding, and the scream of the bone dragon made Sanssouci remember for life.

Before the mercenaries could regain their spirits, a horn sounded from outside the city. Then the horns of all the towers of the entire Ramil responded together.

With the sound of the horn, Long Tian and Tiannan's bodies froze, they glanced at each other, their expressions changed, and their eyes looked in the direction of the city gate.

Carefree looked at the two with slightly heavy expressions, and understood that something bad must have happened, and followed their gaze towards the city gate.

All the mercenaries had risen from the ground, and they were standing in unison, their eyes all cast in one direction - the walls of the Ramil Fortress.

No need to ask, worry-free guessing that it must be the beast tide coming.

As if to confirm the conjecture of Carefree, an abrupt voice sounded in the sound of the horn.

"The beast tide is coming." A soldier dressed as a city defender ran towards the gathering place of the mercenaries, his hurried footsteps kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ramil Fortress is the city closest to the Warcraft Forest, and the Northern Moon Empire has laid heavy troops here in order to protect the security of the country, don't look at the fact that there are only two thousand people here, but these two thousand people are carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops, all of them are elites, and their individual combat strength is not lower than that of fourth-order professionals.

You must know that there are only more than 20,000 professionals above the fourth order in the entire Beiyue Empire, and it is a big deal to be able to send about one-tenth of the troops to garrison here, after all, the threat of the Beiyue Empire is not only a demonic beast forest, but also the ** of the principality in the empire, and the tigers of other empires are eyeing each other, which is a huge threat to Beiyue.

Sometimes people are more terrifying than Warcraft, because Warcraft will only attack the city openly, and people's hearts are unknowable, they may stab you in the back, so leave a certain number of troops to stabilize the country, and it is more important to beware of other countries than to deal with Warcraft Forest.

However, no matter how extraordinary the strength of these city defense troops is, they only have two thousand people after all, and it is still very difficult to deal with tens of thousands of middle and low-level demonic beasts, so a proposal to mercenary mercenaries to participate in the war was passed at a national meeting, and since that year, a certain number of mercenaries will be hired every year to resist the beast tide.

Not many people started to participate, because mercenaries are also human beings, and they are also afraid of life and death, who would give up their lives for that unattainable status? However, since one marshal after another was promoted from among these mercenaries, the mercenaries began to believe in the promises of the Empire, and more and more mercenaries were willing to gamble their lives for half of their lives.

However, the Empire will not tolerate mercenaries being sent to death casually, and they also have requirements for mercenary professional levels when issuing missions.

There are no longer many people but fine, so every time the people gathered are about fifteen hundred, this data is not immediately obtained, it has been tested for several years, and it is not that the more people there are, the more advantageous it is to fight, after all, the Ramil Fortress is so large in total, sometimes more people will cause accidental injuries between each other, in order to reduce the probability of accidental injuries and increase cooperation with each other, so 1,500 mercenaries are undoubtedly the best number.

There is no doubt about the level of mercenaries' individual combat, but in group battles, they are not satisfactory, often only half of the level, and even more, some short-tempered and casual mercenaries do not obey the command, affecting the entire layout of the city defense army, causing irreparable huge losses. Because of this, this quantitative balance has never been broken.

Since this kind of war has lasted for a long time, everyone knows very well what kind of routine there is, the Warcraft siege will generally start in mid-November, and from mid to late to late, it is only some low-level Warcraft who come to harass them, so such battles are generally not handed over to these mercenaries to complete.

After all, the Northern Moon Empire is one of the four great empires, and if even the siege of the Demon Beast has to be completed entirely by the mercenaries, then it will definitely be laughed at by the other empires. Therefore, most of the battles before December were participated by the city defense army, but although not all the mercenaries participated, the magicians had to follow these city defense troops to fight.

A magician and fighter of the same class, the lethality of the magician is undoubtedly more powerful than that of the fighter, especially on the battlefield, the magician can launch a group attack skill, although such a skill can not bring a fatal blow to the enemy, but once used reasonably, it can disrupt the formation of the Warcraft group, which has an impact on the battle situation is self-evident.

Because of this, no matter how good the North Moon Empire is, it will not refuse the magician's participation in the war.

At this time, the horn sounded, it was the alarm of the beast tide, and the soldiers who came to give the order were there to guide the magicians. Long Tian and Tiannan's expressions changed greatly before, and it was because of this.

For them, this is the second time they have participated in the battle to defend the city, so they are very clear about the rules, if they participate in the war by themselves, they may not be so gaffe, but they are worry-free when they want to go to the battlefield, and for this young man who has not joined their mercenary group, the two of them are particularly attentive.

"Brother Wuwu, remember to hide behind the fighter after a while, don't be strong, don't exhaust your magic power, remember to protect yourself, we are waiting for you to return safely!" Long Tian said to Wu Wu seriously.

At this time, Wu Wu had not yet recovered from the aftermath brought by the roar of the bone dragon just now, and suddenly became a little confused, and asked, "Won't you participate in the war for a while, Brother Long Tian and Brother Tiannan?" What am I not afraid of with you here, why do you say wait for me to come back? ”

For the worry-free question, Long Tian just stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I forgot that you are participating in the city battle for the first time, maybe you don't know the way, in the early battles, the fighters don't need to participate, as long as the magician assists the city defense army to defend the city, the offensive of the demonic beast will only become more and more fierce, and then it will be the real fierce battle." ”

Wuwu touched his nose, raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry, don't believe in my strength, don't forget that I'm at the same level as you, if you really fight, maybe you're not as good as me!" Just how can these little low-level demonic beasts hurt me, and I don't even look at what kind of equipment the young master is wearing, even if he is attacked, he won't be hurt much! ”

Listening to Wuwu's arrogant words, the two of them suddenly blackened, they knew that Wuwu was not a high-profile person, and now he said such words just to let them relax, Long Tian smiled slightly, touched Wuwu's high head and said with relief: "In short, you have to protect yourself well, don't be strong!" ”

All the magicians had been gathered, and after saying goodbye to Long Tian and the others, he walked towards the crowd.

At this time, her heart was in turmoil, the shadow left by the bone dragon on her heart just now was too big, she originally thought that the battle was just some demonic beasts, but she didn't expect that there were traces of the undead, in order not to worry about Long Tian and the others, she was pretending to be calm just now, and her palms were already sweating because of nervousness.

Before she had taken a few steps, she felt her wrist sink, thinking that it was Long Tian's boss who was going to nag something again, she raised her slightly drooping head, and turned her head carefree and even helplessly, but met a pair of dark eyes.

was slightly stunned, because the person who held her was not Long Tian, who had always cared for her, but Tiannan, who was always silent on the side, and when he was stunned, Tiannan's magnetic voice sounded: "Be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tiannan let go of his carefree wrist and turned to leave. Carefree is speechless, what an awkward child, doesn't he just care about himself, and he is shy like this, throwing down two words and running away.

The urging sound sounded on the side, and Wu Wu didn't have time to think about it before he walked in the direction of the team.

Although there are 1,500 mercenaries to defend the city, but there are only 2,000 magicians inside, so the city defenders divide the magicians into two teams, each hundred people are a team, and it is very dangerous for the magicians to run out during the battle, so the two teams can just take turns to play.

Due to the previous procrastination, unfortunately, Master Carefree was admitted to the first squad and embarked on the first war of her life. Yes, for the previous petty fights, a battle of this magnitude is a war in the true sense of the word.
