Chapter 259: Black Clouds Crush the City
readx;
By the time Mart and a dozen horseback guards retreated to the Divide Fortress, the flames of the Divide camp under the platform had not been extinguished. The flames of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info reflected the western horizon of Fortress Diefend, and the black smoke rising into the sky covered the slowly falling wanderers.
"Check the fortifications immediately! Be prepared to defend. On the drawbridge at the fortress gate, Commander Divind Mart was already eager to give a loud order to the warriors who were looking down at the city and raising their hands in cheers. Immediately, he rushed into the fortress with more than a dozen cavalry guards beside him, and a group of commanders were already standing outside the main building of the fortress waiting for their return.
"Your Excellency, I beg your permission to open the warehouse and armory." Several sergeants gathered around Mart, "The soldiers not only need to replace some broken weapons, but also have to protect the enemy from climbing the fortress. Falling rocks need to be arranged. ”
"Sergeant James, take your men and open the armory immediately, but keep order! Sergeant Rawmings, open the warehouse. Tell your men to move all the stones they can find in the warehouse to the various parts of the fortress stone walls. Mart kept commanding the sergeants around him, and the sergeants took the orders one by one.
The warriors of the garrison of Diefender immediately began to get busy. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they had a clear division of labor, some of the soldiers checked whether the fortress shield in the guarded area was nailed, some of the soldiers carried sacks of gravel from the warehouse to the stone wall, and even the soldiers who lined up under the wall received the necessary military supplies for the battle in front of the open armory of the Difender Fortress. In short, the entire Diefend Fortress was a scene of sweat and rain under the walls.
Another sergeant had just placed his horse, shuttled through the soldiers under the wall, and walked out of the refugee camp in the fortress where the village by the lake was settled. Mart was right, he was only one step slower than Kroll, who had already become a sergeant, as he hurried back to Diefender Fortress.
"My folks, as you know. My father died at the hands of goblins and lizardheads, and you have lost many of your loved ones to the monsters. In the camp inside the fortress, Kroll looked around at the farmers who had packed their bags and were about to leave the fortress.
"But will these soldiers be able to hold this place? We can't leave our wives and children here. Those horrible monsters are coming. We took the risk once, and we didn't want to go through it a second time. Although the farmers were full of righteous indignation, they finally shook their heads helplessly.
"Lord Commander Mart said that this is the gateway to Jaffin, and that Diffinder has been breached, and Jaffin is not protected. Don't you have the courage of a man? Your family will be housed in the main building. How long can you live if you run away now? The peasants laughed at Kroll's words and dispersed, and the camp was bustling with people, men carrying children and women carrying parcels, just staring at the fortress gates and drawbridges.
"Not good! They're starting to march this way! The sentry on the lookout pointed to the west of the Diefender Fortress, and the flames of the camp seemed to have been extinguished. ”
The ringing bell of the guard rang from the door of the fortress building. Crying and wailing were immediately heard from the camp. With the sound of the ringing alarm bells, Mart climbed to the top of the main building of the fortress and looked to the west where the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace were located.
He was a little surprised, he had thought that a fire would slow them down for a while. But to his surprise, the monsters didn't eat it at all.
The evil that dwelt in the distance on the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace finally began to dance with its teeth and claws in anticipation as the first rays of the morning sun shone out.
Although the monsters on the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace on the west side of the Diffinder Fortress were attacked by traps, the trap pit killing hundreds of goblins and lizardmen was only a tiny number for the marching army, and even if a fire in the virtual camp caused the monsters' vanguard to suffer heavy losses, the backbone was completely undamaged.
Monsters poured into the plains and woods within the two melies, and the evil creatures holding the crimson skull banner pushed forward like waves of fire. From the terrace up and down the hill in the direction of the Difender Fortress, wolf smoke was raised from several lookouts to the west. The defenders of the lookout towers guarding the west outside the fortress quickly abandoned the lonely tower built by the wolf-smoke hill forest, and fled to the fortress of Difender as if they were dead.
The cries of monsters were already heard in the wind. Both the soldiers and farmers above and below the fortress were already stunned, and just shouted helplessly: "The black army has invaded! Black Army Invasion! ”
"Hey. There is no escape. Go with your mother to the main building of the fortress, and Lord Mart will protect you. The farmers tearfully laid down their children and kissed their faces.
"Yes, no one will be able to escape." Kroll looked at the farmers, "I know you're just as panicked and helpless as I was. Until he picked up the sword and remembered his deceased loved one. My father, my wife, my homeland. ”
"Where to pick up the weapon. Count me in, these guys are cornering us! A farmer walked up to Kroll and patted him on the shoulder, "I want my wife and children to see more of the world." ”
"Count me in." One by one, the farmers finally showed courage and stood up. Letting go of the children's clenched hands, "Don't worry, you'll be safe." Dad is going into battle to kill the enemy. ”
"We women can do it too!" The peasant women rolled up their sleeves, "We can carry the equipment for you to defend the fortress!" ”
Kroll's face was full of tears, and he had no idea when he had burst into tears.
All the soldiers and peasants climbed the stone walls and towers of the Diefend Fortress. They clenched their weapons tightly and stood straight. Barely speaking, holding their breath, they just stared at the black press that was moving on the western horizon.
Wherever the monsters passed, the earth trembled, and the unbridled cave trolls wielded huge bone hammers and minotaurs with giant decapitator axes in front of the black-pressed army, and the abandoned watchtowers collapsed in an instant with a roar, and the smoke and smoke were carried by the low roar of trolls and the mooing of minotaurs.
The rumbling of the drums was gradual, and the roar of the wolf could already be heard mixed with the drums. The monsters were already less than a mile away from the Fortress of Difender, and the battle that spread all over the mountains made the defenders of Difender already feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. No one could stop Diefend's defenders from thinking about their lives, and no one knew how long the stone walls and main building of Diefend's fortress would hold out against the sheer number of invaders. Their hearts hung by a thread, and they only asked for the blessing of Arcana during the day.
The monsters that roamed the mountains finally stopped, raising their hands and claws to look out at the fortress of Diefend.
On the west side of the fortress, dense crimson skull flags swirled in the wind, spreading a heavy aura of death.
The monsters' eyes became more and more hideous one by one, and after relaying strange black words to each other, the monster army of this overwhelming realm immediately assembled itself into 9 giant phalanxes.
In the largest phalanx in the middle lane, the cave trolls and minotaurs in the front row retreated to one side obediently, revealing their bodies and giving way to dozens of wolves running out of the huge crowd of goblins and lizards in the path. There was also the strongest of them, dressed in exaggerated black iron armor, red eyes like blood, deep scars carved diagonally into its ugly face, and a large silver-gray wolf under its crotch.
Legral didn't kill it, and it was even more violent when it returned.
The monsters let out a frenzied scream. There is no doubt that it is undoubtedly the Overseer who commands this vast invading force, "Kosibonak!" Kosse Bonack! Kosse Bonack! ”
Heavy footsteps also appeared behind Commander Mart of Difender, who was standing in the main building of the fortress, and the soldier who spoke with a trembling voice, "Your Excellency... War is on the verge of breaking out. The monsters have an overwhelming advantage over us. ”
"What would you do? My warrior. Mart tried to restrain the shivering desire, but he couldn't stop his heart beating so hard. Although he used to be a hunter, he often laid nets in the woods and led his hounds to hunt for prey. But now he has become the prey of prey.
The fortress of Difender has no way out but to rely on a strong fortress. Mart knew that in her own heart.
"It's... There is no escape. The warrior's voice trembled.
"Nonsense." Mart clenched his fists and slammed the battlements, glaring angrily, "We can only rely on the fortress!" When the fortress falls, it's the end of life! Don't tremble behind me, no one is not afraid! But there's no point in being afraid of us! Order all of you to defend the fortress, and no matter what happens, hold your weapons and hold off the attacking monsters, unless it's already a corpse! ”
