The ground forces of the elves poured out of the city gates, spreading out like a tidal wave, colliding with the alien beasts in the blink of an eye.

The elven knights bore the brunt of the attack, and they rode their horses and armed magic swords to rush into the herd of alien beasts. The knights tore a hole in the alien beast like sharp blades.

More were elven warriors, tall and well-equipped, roaring and rushing towards the horde of alien beasts. The weapons of the elven warriors are mainly swords, mixed with some short- and medium-range firearms, all of which are sophisticated magic weapons.

The combat effectiveness of the elven soldiers is significantly higher. Especially the knights, they are fast and agile, even in the face of a strange beast with both strength and agility like the saber-toothed tiger, two or three knights will firmly gain the upper hand. And a small beast like the Wind Blade Wolf basically becomes a ghost under the knight's sword in one face.

White-knuckle combat is extremely brutal, with no flashy magic, no dazzling skills, only crazy fighting. Elven warriors often kill a strange beast as soon as they can catch their breath before they are pounced on by the strange beast next to them. There were more and more fragments of stumps all over the ground, and streams of blood flowed, converging into pools of blood in the low-lying places.

Elven soldiers were still pouring out of the city gates, and the ground battlefield stretched from dozens of meters in front of the city wall to hundreds of meters away.

The knight's weakness was gradually revealed, and although the horses were well trained, they were afraid of the harsh screech of the banshees. Many of the horses seemed to have gone mad, neighing and running away, throwing the elven knight off. For the fallen knight, what awaits him is the endless fear of death, with the beasts tearing him apart and the ghouls gnawing at his flesh.

The long-range support on the city wall has basically been extinguished, and the elves and alien beasts in the near distance have been mixed together, and it is difficult to aim at the distance, not to mention that most of them are already unable to protect themselves. Some vampires and wyverns have already stormed the walls.

"Bang!" another yellow flare shot into the sky. The next moment, in many places on the city wall, a large number of creatures flapped their wings and flew up.

It was a winged horse, and their whole body was snow-white, including the pair of wide wings. On Pegasus' backs rode elven warriors armed with spears, who leaned down and clung to the reins of Pegasus.

Pegasus is much faster than normal warhorses, and they carry elven warriors into the sky with flying beasts. Spears with various magical effects pierced the vampire's body, and for a moment the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced, and the long-range defenders took the opportunity to strike at the alien beasts in the air.

But the Wyvern is not that easy to deal with, ordinary magic spears cannot pierce their wings, and it often takes a dozen Pegasus warriors to besiege it for a chance to kill a single Wyvern.

As for the Wyvern, this aerial combat is their strong point. The green gooey substance that spits out of the mouth of the bipedal wyvern is highly corrosive, and the skin will fester. Their long, stout tail has a large piece of hard skin at the back of its tail, and it may not have much chance of surviving if it is swept away.

Pegasus have no armor to protect them, and although they are extremely nimble, the green slime is invincible, and many of them have some green slime stuck to their bodies, and their flesh is beginning to rot. Pegasus are loyal and endurance creatures that do not run away, but still carry warriors to pounce on the Wyvern again and again.

With the long-range fire support of the defenders of the city walls, the Pegasus warriors wiped out most of the flying beasts near the city walls, and also suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the Pegasus warriors dying or losing their combat effectiveness.

The second floor of another tall watchtower.

"These damn brutes!" the duke, who has always been good at hiding his emotions, looked at the battle situation outside the window, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

The duke's name is Sadler Vecchi, and the Vichy family has been in the land of Akanster for thousands of years, and is the only family in the Kingdom of Salento to be granted the title of duke. However, in Sadler's generation, there was a crisis.

More than ten years ago, Sadler, who was an excellent knight, inherited his father's title of duke, and it can be said that he was ordered to be in danger and became Salento's hope. However, the precarious kingdom cannot be saved by one person, and the fate of the kingdom has been sealed since hundreds of years ago, when it sent an advance army to that unknown continent in alliance with the Kingdom of Blue.

In the following time, Sadler sent people to the distant continent of Lafrey, hoping to get the support of the advance army, but for unknown reasons, the people sent never returned. It wasn't until a few months ago that the last messenger returned, bringing chilling news that the advance army was on an important mission and could not come to support.

Despite Sadler's best efforts, the powerful beast destroyed most of the cities of the kingdoms of Blue and Salento.

"Lord Duke, I don't know whether to say something or not. Leonard said respectfully as he stood next to Sadler.

Sadler waved his hand impatiently, and his voice was a little impatient: "It's all this time, just say what you have!"

"I think it is necessary for His Majesty the King and you to prepare in advance for the transfer. ”

Sadler turned abruptly, stared at Leonard, and said word by word, "You mean to abandon the city and flee?"

"So to speak. Unafraid of Sadler's gaze, Leonard continued, "I'm sure your lordship has also seen the unusualness of this beast. ”

Sadler looked at him and didn't speak.

"We've been guarding the city of Salento for more than a decade, and there's not been a single invasion of alien beasts like this one. Previously, the alien beast herd was repulsed and dispersed on its own after a few waves of attacks. And this time, it's like...... They have a reason to win. Leonard uttered this utterance entirely from the heart. But when he had said that, he felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "Maybe I am overthinking, but His Majesty the King and you had better ......"

Sadler didn't say anything, interrupted him by patting him on the shoulder, then turned to look out the window, the air in the watchtower quieted down.

After a while, Sadler turned his back to Leonard and sighed softly, and slowly spoke: "Do you know why I promoted you to the captain of the city defense team after inheriting the title of duke? He paused and continued: "As the captain of the city defense team, you shouldn't say such things, you will be sent to a court-martial. ”

Sadler turned around, stared at Leonard like a torch, and said word by word: "But I trust you and my instincts, this time Salento City may really not be able to hold out." But I can't go, it's my family's mission, and it's my destiny......"

At this moment, a low roar was heard in the distance, and the surrounding sounds suddenly became chaotic. "Knock knock knock......" There was a rush of footsteps upstairs.

"Lord Duke, the dragon is coming!" shouted an elven guard running down from the top floor, a little panicked.

Unmoved, Sadler turned and shouted at the guard, "Guard, prepare your mount!"

"It's finally here......" Sadler whispered, not knowing whether to himself or Leonard, and walked resolutely to the stairs. Leonard looked at the duke's back, and had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a single one.

At this time, Duke Sadler, who had already reached the middle of the stairs, stopped, looked back at Leonard and said, "I have a request, if you can, take my son." With that, he quickly disappeared around the turn of the spiral staircase.
