Chapter 308: Retreat

Stuart City

It was a small city in the south, with a population of less than 20,000, along the line from the port to the city of Posi, and gradually developed mainly by supplying the convoys that transported goods to and fro.

Although the city wall was also built as usual and the basic city defense facilities were arranged, the utilization rate was obviously not high, except for the routine perfunctory repairs, almost no one paid attention to it, after all, Stuart City is located in the southernmost part, thousands of miles away from the southwest swamp, and dozens of miles away from the coastline, don't worry about the trolls in the swamp, the sea clan attack will not go deep into this position, and it is even farther away from the orc ogre, I have never seen it, and it has been safe.

The city's guards were also lax.

But today, it seems that something happened, the sea water brought by the huge wave directly flooded the low-lying areas along the line, and the sea water spread directly to the corner of Stull City, and the sea tribe continued to emerge from the sea water, clinging to the city wall and trying to attack the city.

Obviously, the Sea Clan has begun to be dissatisfied with just taking a few port cities, and they have begun to try to attack some cities with city walls, but obviously the Sea Clan's siege war is not good-looking, and the waves caused by the tidal technique are basically not too powerful here, and the water depth around the waist of an adult can only facilitate the Sea Clan's advance, and it is not much help for the siege, and the water attracted by the tidal spell will not last too long, and when the water recedes, the embarrassment will become the Sea Clan.

"Archers! Archer! ”

"Put!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

These city guards are not well trained, and some of the movements don't look very standard, just barely pulling the bow and aiming in one direction, but there are too many sea tribes under the city, and these seemingly soft arrows still cause a lot of casualties to the sea tribe after falling from the seven or eight meters high city head, after all, these ordinary sea tribe warriors only have some seaweed and shell armor on their bodies at most, and some are still naked, and their resistance to arrows is almost none.

After hundreds of feathered arrows fell, the sea water below the city was quickly dyed red, and a corpse floated in the sea.

However, the number of the Sea Clan is still too much, and this casualty can't stop the Sea Clan's march at all, and the garrison of this small city is only a few hundred, plus the temporarily mobilized young and strong militia is more than 1,000 people, and the number is at an absolute disadvantage, that is, the Sea Clan's siege ability is weak, and everyone is just worse now.

"Rolling logs! Smash these monsters down on me! ”

"Bang!"

An irregular log was carried by two soldiers and thrown down the city, smashing down several Sea Clan soldiers who were climbing.

"Don't let them climb up! Sword and shield hand! ”

The Sea Clan does not have any siege equipment, but it can directly climb the city wall with its own claws and the sticky substances secreted by its body, although the speed is not fast, but it can't stand their large numbers, although they are smashed down a lot by stones and rolling logs, but there are still many Sea Tribes who have climbed the city wall, and the battle has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"Phew!"

The Sea Clan, who had just climbed to the top of the city, was pierced by the soldiers on the city wall with a short spear before he could be killed, and then the soldier took a step forward and kicked on the opponent's body to pull out the short spear, blood gushed along the wound, and the Sea Clan, who had just climbed the city, fell backwards to the ground and gradually lost his life, and the soldier turned his attention to the city wall again, looking for a new target.

At first glance, this soldier is at least an elite, but in fact, this soldier is just an ordinary pawn in the garrison, and it is only the weak land combat strength of the Sea Clan that makes him feel like a warrior in the army.

The combat effectiveness of the Sea Clan is indeed inferior on land, and most of the human soldiers in the south have a psychological advantage when facing the Sea Clan as long as they are not on the ship.

"Kill!"

"Bang!"

"The Guardian of the Sea Patrol has come up, stop him!"

Of course, not all the Sea Clan are so weak, the sea patrol guards in the ordinary Sea Clan warriors are still quite capable of fighting, these big guys who are generally about two meters muscle and hold stone axes are not much worse than quasi-knights, and when they climb the city wall, they are not at all able to resist these local garrisons who have been neglected in battle formations for a long time.

"Up!"

Two or three soldiers defending the city nearby stubbornly surrounded and wanted to deal with this sea patrol guard, although Stuart City is small, but it is located next to the traffic artery, the news is quite well-informed, during this time, even ordinary people have understood the attitude of the Sea Clan towards humans after breaking the city, that is not a breath of life, the soldiers know that they have no way out.

"Bell!"

"Bang!"

The first sword and shield man tried to hold the stone axe of the sea patrol guard, but there was obviously an absolute power gap between the two sides, the sword and shield hand was beaten back a few steps to reveal a flaw, and was bullied by other sea clan soldiers, and fell to the ground after a few heavy blows, as the sea patrol guard opened a gap, a steady stream of sea tribes climbed up, and the situation became precarious.

"Phew!"

A long sword with a blue and gray fighting aura flashed, and the sea patrol guard, who was still showing off his might just now, was cut off half of his neck by a sword, stopped his movements in an instant, and fell straight to the ground.

"Olsen Knight! It's the Olsen Knight here! ”

Knight Olsen is one of the only three knights in Stur City, two knights are now entangled by the blood warriors of the Sea Clan, and they are completely unable to free their hands, seeing that the Sea Clan is about to completely attack the city wall, the Knight of Olsen with the reserve team finally can't help but act.

Although the Olsen knight is only a beginner knight, and the foundation of the quasi-knight stage is not good, it is the weakest of the knights, but it is not something that even the quasi-knights are a little reluctant to resist the sea patrol guards, and the three or four sea patrol guards who just took advantage of the situation are not the opponents of the Olsen knights.

"Lord Priest, there is actually a knight in the human reserves."

"Hmph, boring trick."

"Prepare for the warriors to attack, this time to take the human city in one fell swoop."

The priest's words were very confident, since the sea clan's spell-casting ability began to recover, the status of the priests has risen, from the original state of only the status of the exalted but no actual power to the existence of real power, the original eyes are about to grow to the top of the head of the bloodline warriors are now at his disposal, he enjoys this feeling very much. He is also willing to take action when the commander feels that the battle situation is difficult, and then give himself prestige.

After an obscure spell, a water dragon of nearly ten meters suddenly appeared in the air, circled in a circle, and headed towards the knight of Olsen, who was slashing and killing the sea patrol guard.

The Olsen knight has already reacted, turned around and wanted to resist with the long sword in his hand, but the water dragon technique is already a high-level spell of the water system, although because of the low magic power, the power is not as good as the water dragon technique released under normal circumstances, but it also has the power of the big knight level fighting spirit, and the Olsen knight who was hit head-on by the water dragon technique was like being hit by a speeding train and flew out, and the entire front chest was sunk in, and after slamming to the ground, there was no movement after struggling a few times.

"Lord Olsen!"

"Olsen Knight!"

Seeing that the knight of Olsen fell to the ground, the human soldiers around him panicked, and even the knight was killed, how could they fight.

This attack on Stur City, the Sea Clan is obviously also determined to win, not only dispatched a large number of ordinary Sea Clan warriors and sea patrol guards, but also sent two bloodline warriors and a senior priest, the bloodline warrior is okay, the strength is comparable to the human knight, after leaving the sea water and going to the city wall, it is still somewhat suppressed by the knight, but the senior priest is a completely other level of existence, a water dragon technique can kill a knight, it seems that there is no difficulty at all.

"Priest of Janes! There is an urgent order from the high priest! ”

The high priest, who was about to give the army commander a direct order for the army to launch an all-out attack, was suddenly interrupted by a herald, but he did not dare to be dissatisfied, because the herald was a herald for the priest's temple, and they issued the high priest's orders to the four directions, and they came out on behalf of the high priest.

Yanes stopped what he was doing and stood respectfully in the water, waiting for the herald's next message.

"The High Priest orders all the attacking armies and priests to return at once, without the slightest delay!"

"Yes!"

"Order the army to retreat!"

"But our men have already attacked."

It's no wonder that the commander is a little reluctant, Stuart City is actually broken, and then only the tail work remains, they have concentrated so many troops, isn't it just to take down a human city and fight for some credit, now they have obviously succeeded, but they have to give up immediately, he is indeed unwilling.

"This is the order of the High Priest! Retreat now! ”

Yanes turned his head to stare at the commander, and there was some danger in his eyes, as if the other party would not say half a word, so that he would not see the sun tomorrow.

"Order, the whole army retreats, alternately cover the exit from the city wall!"

"Yes!"

The actions of the Sea Clan made the defenders at the head of the city a little confused, and they actually took the initiative to give up the city as long as they blew one more breath.

However, they are more fortunate in their hearts, this is the happiness of picking up a life...
