Chapter 373: Fire!

In the fireworks launcher behind him, the blue fireworks were still being launched. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a signal to retreat for the squad that is scattered in front.

The continuous red fireworks just now really made Locke's scalp explode suddenly. He understood what that meant, and it was a call for help!

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything. What can be done is to let the soldiers evacuate the danger as soon as possible and come to the dock to set up defenses.

This time, there were only 300 guards who followed Locke to the Elven Kingdom, and these 300 people can be regarded as the most elite soldiers in the southern theater of war. Every time he loses one, it hurts him for a long time. What's more, the disappearance of a life represents the breakdown of a family, which Locke does not want to see.

At this time on the docks, the remaining soldiers, under the command of the officers, piled boxes of goods together to form barricades and defensive lines.

From time to time, squads of soldiers, returning to the docks from the market inside the port, joined the refinement of the defensive line.

Locke saw that their bodies were covered in blood, and the horrified expressions on the faces of many of them had not faded. In each squad that returned, the number of soldiers was dissatisfied, and apparently they had already died.

Locke sighed inwardly, and he turned his head away from the blood stains on the soldiers. As long as you are a soldier, you must have a sense of sacrifice, and I believe that they themselves know it.

"Great Lord! I have information to report to you! "Captain Sclares has returned, his blue robe stained with blood on his chest and a bruised wound on his face.

"Heartbreakers are coming at us! There are a lot of them! It's like everybody here has become that thing! ”

The captain was a little anxious, he pointed to the heartless people looming in the distance and said, "These heartless, someone is controlling them!" They ambushed us, and when many soldiers were caught by them, they used evil magic to absorb the essence of life and turned into dried corpses! ”

"It's like a trap here!"

"Good work Clarrys, but it's not a trap." Locke looked at the port and shook his head, he said with a bitter face, "It's just that we just caught up." Looks like we're going to have to do the elves a favor. ”

Locke vaguely remembered that a similar incident had happened here in his previous life. Eventually, with the help of the adventurers, the elves killed the leader who controlled the mindless, and the situation here became better.

The leader of the Heartbreakers is in the most ornate and tallest building in this port.

"Have the soldiers go to the ship and take off the tower shield and get ready. The rest of the soldiers, all changed to spears, and we had to be ready for the impact. Let our warships turn their hulls sideways and use the cannons on board to blast those who have lost their minds. ”

Locke calmly gave orders to the officers beside him. He wasn't too worried, because the strength of these mindbreakers was not very strong, and the terrible thing about them was that they were numerous, and they would use magic to absorb the essence of people.

As long as you take precautions, none of this is a problem. They are much simpler than the undead of the natural calamity, after all, the undead still have to attack the head, and these heartless people are flesh and blood, and they can die if they cut their limbs.

On merchant ships, there are also dozens of tower shields. These shields, like high walls, are the best weapons against the crowd tactics of the Heartless. With shields and spears behind them, no matter how many disillusioned people will be consumed to death on the ground.

Now you need to resist the attack of these Heartbreakers first, and then find an opportunity to get rid of the leader who controls these Heartbreakers. Otherwise, all the heartless people around him will continue to gather here under his control.

It didn't take long for hordes of heartbreakers to appear, hunched over and screaming, rushing towards the soldiers lined up at the docks.

After the Heartbreaker saw the front line of the soldiers, their faces all showed distorted expressions. A wave of madness appeared in their faces, and they quickened their charge as if they had seen food.

"Everyone ready to attack!"

A muffled gasp sounded from behind the tower shield. The soldier with the tower shield began to pull back one of his legs, fastening the shield clip to his left arm. Hold the tower shield with your left shoulder and start preparing to absorb the impact. Behind them, the soldiers who were responsible for helping him meet the impact also began to stand up to him.

For the sake of safety, the soldiers were wearing helmets, and the sound of dull and suppressed rapid breathing rang out in pieces.

Soon the heartbreakers rushed up.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of the Heartless Mind crashing against the shield was constantly heard throughout the shield line, and at the same time, the sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh also continued to sound.

"Poof--snort! Poof--snort! Poof--snort! ”

The soldiers stretched out their spears from the gaps with ease. Until someone who has lost his heart hits the spear, he will retract and stretch out.

The terrible screams of the heartless ones sounded outside the tower shield. The consequence of their blind charge was that they were pierced with holes by the spears stretched out from the steel walls. More heartbreakers were strung to spears, scratching their shields in vain until the spears were withdrawn through the gaps in the shields, and they themselves fell under the tower shield without the support of the spears.

Soon, a layer of corpses of the Heartless was piled up under the tower shield, and some Heartless people began to try to cross over from above the tower shield.

The officer in charge of directing the battle also saw this, and he waved the one-handed sword in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, take three steps back!" ”

The entire steel front slowly shifted backwards.

In this process, all the soldiers are unhurried. There was no disjointed part of the entire front, and the soldiers, as if they were one, retreated to their designated positions.

"Boom!" The soldiers lowered their tower shields and made a neat sound.

The Heartbreakers rushed up again, and the battle cycled again.

On one side of the battlefield, the warship HMS Pioneer, under the command of Major Marslan, entered an adjacent pier. On the side of the warship, six 12-pounder cannons began to adjust their muzzles and ballistics, preparing to attack the besieging discentered.

"Edexcel, have the coordinates been estimated?" Maslan looked up at the top of the mainmast, the human soldier looking out at the battlefield in the distance.

The skinny soldier climbed on a rope and held a rudimentary telescope in his hand.

"Head! I've got an estimate! The soldier slid off the rope and stood in front of Maslan and reported, "X2.47, Y3.68." Just hit this position. ”

"Well," said the soldier helplessly, spreading his hands, "the houses in this harbor don't look simple, do we really want to bombard them?" Won't this cause trouble for the Great Lord? ”

"Don't you see those madmen attacking the Great Lord? We're doing this to help the High Lord, and we're helping the Elves retake the port. Major Maslan said with the expression on his face as it should be, "How many houses are demolished compared to getting a port?" Which is important? ”

"I'm asking you again! This coordinate can't hit our brother, right? Captain Maslan looked at Soldier Edmuth solemnly, "Our High Lord is there!" ”

"I swear in the name of my deceased mother! There will be absolutely no errors! There is! That's the house that blew up on the side of those crazy people! Lookout Edexcel stretched out his right hand and swore an oath, looking at Maslan with a serious face.

"Oh well! If something goes wrong, I'll settle the account with you! Maslan glanced at him, then turned to the gunners and commanded.

"Coordinates, X2.47, Y3.68, three shots! Rapid fire! ”

"Fire!"
