In the originally clean night sky, a few dark clouds suddenly floated over, these were real dark clouds, and the bright moonlight was also blocked by this sudden dark cloud, and the lights of the city were shining in the sky. The archers were already bending their bows and arrows and starting to aim, and the heavy crossbowmen and crystal gunners checked their weapons one last time, and everything was ready, and a murderous aura suddenly rose up and rushed straight into the sky.

The Ice Venerable was also standing at the head of the city, and he didn't stop the movement of the guards and soldiers, but he didn't retreat with the golden-robed men as the guards said. Although they do not belong to the Imperial military, or even they do not belong to the Empire, they only help the Empire when they can, but they are all the people of the Holy Spirit Empire. The bloodiness in their blood, which had been silent for a long time, was also ignited by the words of the guard just now, maybe they will not die with these demonic beasts, but it is still okay to do their part.

For these golden-robed people who did not withdraw, although the guards also tried to persuade the Ice Venerable to take them away, but the Ice Venerable's faint words sent him away, and the Ice Venerable said, "They have their own choice, we are not an army, and they are not subject to my orders, when they want to go, they will naturally leave, but it is definitely not now." ”

The piercing chirp of ......the Phantom Song Demon Queen sounded again, but this time with Mo Lao in charge, the voice was not as powerful as last time, and even the most ordinary recruits just shook their bodies and stabilized their figures.

"Release!" the guard shouted, and countless points of cold light suddenly pierced the night sky, like a striking silver ray rushing towards the tide of flying demonic beasts that slowly flew towards the Cologne Fortress.

"Poof!poof!"

The sound of countless sharp arrows piercing the flesh sounded, and the demonic beasts flying in front fell in pieces, smashing to the ground like raindrops, and a muffled sound came, and a thick layer of corpses was spread on the ground. Blood, cold, roaring, wailing, all this opened the prelude to the great war, watching the death of those companions, the remaining demonic beasts seemed to be stimulated by the killing nature in the bone marrow, and kept roaring and rushing towards the city.

"Put!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The strings of the heavy crossbow made a huge humming sound, and hundreds of crossbow arrows made of black steel rushed into the sky in an instant, and the trajectory like a meteor was intertwined with the great web of death in the night sky, and any demonic beast that appeared in this large net would be pierced through the body by the crossbow arrows that shone with a dazzling cold light. Unlike ordinary bows and arrows, these crossbow arrows can not only kill a large number of low-level demonic beasts, even some beastmaster-level demonic beasts are not immune, and for these flying experts whose bodies are significantly weaker than terrestrial demonic beasts, this heavy ranged weapon is undoubtedly their nightmare.

"Release!" Before the silver light could disperse, the guard shouted a third time.

"Bang! bang!"

Dozens of energy balls shining with various colors of light suddenly pierced the sky, shining colorful light under the night sky, once these lights drilled into the beast tide, they would "bang" like a fireflower blooming, and the little colorful light smashed into the beast tide with the breath of death. There are constantly demonic beasts that are ignited, frozen, scorched, and torn apart by those rays......

It was a terrible war, and those flying monsters were like targets, allowing the soldiers at the head of the city to sway to their heart's content, but no one could be happy, because it was also a cruel war, and it was impossible for the monsters to give them much time so freely. In one attack, the Monster Tide was already less than five hundred meters away from the Cologne Fortress.

At this moment, everyone no longer needs to be commanded, they all do their best to do their own thing, in just a distance of a thousand meters, too many demonic beast corpses have been piled up, and there are many beastmaster-level demonic beasts among those corpses. But these dead demonic beasts were just a drop in the ocean for the huge beast tide, and the black and suppressed demonic beasts still pressed over.

"Hmph!" Mo Lao snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and in the flash of silver, Mo Lao's whole person had disappeared into the city.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a huge crack appeared in the sky, and that crack was like a giant mouth in the night sky, and in that huge mouth was endless darkness, as if even the light would be swallowed by it. The moment the giant mouth appeared, it suddenly rushed towards the beast tide, and of course those demonic beasts also discovered this terrible giant mouth, and they tried their best to fly away from the trajectory of the giant mouth devouring, but unfortunately, the speed of the giant mouth was too fast, so fast that before they could dodge, they had been swallowed by it.

The terrible maw, the terrible power, the place where the maw passed, it was literally clear an empty field in the air, and the number of it was more than the soldiers combined. Seeing this scene, Jingchen's body was stunned, at this moment, he finally understood why his father often said that eighth-level powerhouses rarely participate in wars, looking at this terrifying destructive power, I am afraid that even the Cologne Fortress will not be able to withstand Mo Lao's sudden.

Mo Lao's attack also set off the beginning of the battle between the demonic beasts and the soldiers, those flying demonic beasts pressed towards the city like flies, and several, or even a dozen attacked around a small group of people, using the advantage that they could fly, as well as the speed of lightning, to take away the lives of a large number of soldiers. But every time the dead soldiers were dying, they would pull the fuses on their bodies, and the roar of explosions would not stop ringing in the city.

Firelight, flesh, stumps, and bright red blood are splashed everywhere, even if some soldiers don't have time to pull the fuse on their bodies, there will be others to help them pull, this is a war without prisoners, this is a battle that does not need to collect corpses, all the dead soldiers, at the last moment of their lives, will use their bodies as the last weapons, with their wreckage to kill more monsters.

At this moment, Jingchen's heart was deeply shocked, at this moment, he remembered countless stories of the battlefield that his father Sedum told him, and at this moment, he finally understood the military soul mentioned by his father Sedum. Maybe the bodies of these warriors are dead, maybe they can't even leave their whole corpses, but they have left more people with hope of life, they have given up their lives, they have given up thinking about their families, they have given up everything, they just want to fulfill their promise to the Empire.

With every explosion, a living life is lost, but at the same time, their military spirits will not die with physical death, they will remain here, in the land they have sworn to defend, continue to guard the fortress of Cologne, continue to guard the frontiers of the Empire.

I don't know how long it took, Jing Chen was completely numb from killing, and he couldn't remember anymore that this was the first demonic beast he had killed, and he was just killing mechanically. Suddenly, a dry and old palm slapped on his shoulder, Jingchen was stunned, and immediately turned his head to look at the comer.

Gray robes, old faces, and dry palms like bones, Mo Lao didn't know when he appeared beside him, and the demonic beasts that were originally hovering around Jing Chen also scattered because of Mo Lao's appearance.

"Mo Lao!" Jingchen's eyes cleared, and the surging killing intent gradually dissipated.

"Alas!" Mo Lao sighed and said, "Let's go, we should leave too." As he spoke, he was about to leave with Jingchen in one hand.

"Leave?" Jingchen looked at Mo Lao suspiciously, then turned his head to look at the city, only to see that there was no longer a living soldier as far as his eyes could see, and the blood stained the entire city, whether it was a heavy crossbow or a magic crystal cannon, there were blood stains everywhere, all wreckage, all the corpses of demonic beasts, and all tattered weapons.

"It's over?" Jing Chen turned his head and asked Mo Lao with a trembling voice.

At this moment, a trace of sadness flashed in Mo Lao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It's over, I'll take you away." As soon as he said that, Jing Chen only felt that his body was supported by Mo Lao and flew up. A wave of sleepiness hit, Jingchen's head tilted, and he almost hit Mo Lao's shoulder.

Turning his head to look at Jingchen, Elder Mo sighed and said slowly, "If you're tired, go to sleep, I'll take you away." ”

"Hmm. Jingchen replied as if unconsciously, his eyes still glancing at the blood-stained city, where many demonic beasts stopped and tore at the corpses of their companions and humans.

Seeing this scene, Jingchen suddenly felt that his eyes were moist, these soldiers who died for the empire and the people had to endure the bite of the demonic beast after death, and a wave of anger surged into his heart, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything now, he could only be pulled by Mo Lao and fly in the opposite direction of the Warcraft Mountain Range, and fly in the direction of the retreat of the Zeus Academy team.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Jingchen's eyes suddenly opened, and he said in surprise, "What is that!"

Jing Chen's sudden change made Mo Lao also startled, his brows furrowed slightly and looked in the direction that Jing Chen said, and he was immediately stunned, and said with some uncertainty, "...... imperial army?" On such a night when the flames were soaring and the demonic beasts were rampant, I actually saw a neat imperial army marching towards the Cologne Fortress, and this kind of shock seemed pale and powerless in any language.

"Is it Marshal Perry's troops?" Mo Lao naturally saw it more clearly than Jingchen, and with his experience in the Holy Spirit Empire over the years, how could Colon Perry, who was known as the Imperial Military God, not recognize the military banner.

"Marshal Perry? Which Marshal Perry? Could it be ......" Suddenly, Jingchen's eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of disbelief appeared in his eyes, he had liked to listen to his father Sedum tell him battlefield stories since he was a child, how could he not have heard of this legendary imperial marshal who was more than four hundred years old. And according to Sedum, this Marshal Perry is not only a genius in military affairs, but also a powerful grandmaster-level peak powerhouse.

"The city of Cologne is saved. Mo Lao said slowly, and as he spoke, he stopped at the head of the city and calmly watched Marshal Perry's army slowly move forward.

The darkness of dawn quietly dissipated, a glimmer of sunlight pierced the eastern sky, this bloody night is about to carry the roar of countless heroic spirits to leave, tomorrow, how many soldiers can see tomorrow's sunshine? Jingchen slowly turned his head, looking at the flames that sometimes burst in the city of Cologne, when each flame rises, there is a heroic warrior who sacrifices his precious life, at this moment, Jingchen even hates the speed of Perry's troops, every moment of delay, several more warriors will die.
