Chapter 51: Attack and Defense

The fierce battle has lasted until the sky is about to dawn, endless beasts continue to join the battlefield, the soldiers on the city wall have been replaced wave after wave, and even the initial wave of soldiers has been replaced from the city wall, if you want to compete in the number, there is still a big gap between humans and beasts with endless forests and seas as their territory to thrive.

What's more, the number of soldiers at this time was not even one-third of the total number of soldiers of the Grand Duke of the Heart Shield, and all the cities under the command of the Grand Duke of the Heart Shield had begun to march towards Gulai City except for the army that stayed to defend the city. Dulong, the black-armored general who defended the city and fought against the white bone beasts, has also joined the battle.

A fourth-order master joining the battle was almost an inexplicable existence for the low-level soldiers on the other side, the wide open and closed war knives were waved in the group of beasts, almost every knife was a beast killed, and the battle situation was gradually stabilized under Du Long's strong suppression, and the beasts that had already attacked the city wall were driven down one by one.

The light of the morning sun sprinkled down, the dazzling light sprinkled on the earth, and the situation outside the city was finally seen by the soldiers, and the almost endless beasts gathered less than a mile away, until they reached a hundred or so in number, and then joined the siege team, and at this moment the city was covered with the corpses of dense beasts.

"It's already dawn, let's start the counteroffensive." Muder stepped on the city wall for the first time since the beast attacked the city, and with his arrival, the city's defense machinery was also pushed up the city wall, and the first to appear was the ballista that was nearly three meters wide, and the ballista began to exert its power after landing on the city wall, and the spear-like crossbow arrows caused great damage to the beast.

The bows and arrows in the hands of soldiers are always lacking in deterrence against large beasts because they are not powerful enough, because some beasts with rough skin and thick flesh may only pass through the skin with an arrow, and they are harmless at all. However, the power of the crossbow arrow is sufficient, and even a huge beast such as a lion and tiger will be killed on the spot if it is hit by this spear-like crossbow arrow.

The suppressive effect of the long-range bow and arrow was finally manifested at this moment, and every time the soldiers wound up and fired a salvo within the range of the crossbow arrows, they drew a death line for the beasts outside the city, and all the beasts that crossed the line were killed on the spot. This is followed by small catapults, but instead of stones, fireballs are revealed.

Dozens of catapults turned the city into a sea of fire, which not only formed a barrier to block the advance of the beasts, but also ignited the corpses of the beasts on the ground, and the corpses of the beasts that were half the height of the city wall were reduced to ashes in the raging flames.

Seeing this situation, the Beast Spirit King who was in charge of the siege was no longer as stable as Mount Tai, and a pitch-black demon ape stood upright in the beast group and roared in the sky, followed by more than a dozen high-level beasts joining the battlefield, and a blue leopard running in front of the city opened its mouth, and the water rushed out and paved a path in the sea of fire.

On this path, a cyan demon wolf ran at high speed, several soldiers tried to block its advance with crossbow arrows, but unfortunately it was useless, the demon wolf's movement speed was too fast, the crossbow arrows were flashed one by one, and almost in the blink of an eye, the demon wolf had run to the city.

The nearly ten-meter-high city wall was like a small hill in front of the demon wolf, and the demon wolf jumped on the city wall with a slight leap, and the next second the cyan shadow rushed straight into the crowd. Bright red blood splattered, and the demon wolf turned into a scythe of death in the crowd.

A thin figure carrying a short dagger galloped along the edge of the city wall, the dagger in his hand pointed directly at the left eye of the demon wolf, the demon wolf felt the wind pressure from the side of his body and lowered his body, the sharp dagger slashed over the top of its head, and a wisp of cyan wolf hair was cut off by the dagger's strong wind and fluttered away with the wind.

"Evil wolf, remember, Quirrell, the captain of the seventh team of the Black Armor Left Shield Guard, beheaded you here." The dagger in Quirrell's hand swirled, and he whispered as he charged towards the demon wolf again. The sharp dagger turned into a little cold light in Quirrell's hand, and floated towards the demon wolf's body, and the blue light around the demon wolf's body flashed, and the speed soared again, and the cold light fell into the air.

The demon wolf moved to Quirrell's side, and a thin wind blade shot out of his mouth and went straight to Quirrell's chest, Quirrell had no choice but to curl up in the air to avoid the wind blade, and after dodging the wind blade, Quirrell raised his head and saw a bloody mouth, and the pursuit of the demon wolf followed, and the successive notes made Quirrell embarrassed.

It is also in response to the truth that the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, although the demon wolf is not outstanding in other aspects, but it has almost reached the extreme of the fifth order in terms of speed, it is not at all something that Quirrell can deal with, fortunately, there are soldiers next to him on the city wall from time to time to help, which can barely stabilize the situation.

And the second-echelon demonic beasts under the city have also approached the city wall, the most conspicuous of which is a giant elephant that is half as high as half of the city wall, and the earthy yellow indestructible skin around the body is a powerful crossbow arrow shot on it is also helpless to break one by one, and the high-end combat power on the city wall has also begun to dispatch in desperation.

The captain of the third team of the left shield guard, Keyu, who was armed with a double hammer, and the captain of the fifth team, Tabel, who was a long whip, jumped off the city wall to stop the elite team composed of this beast, of course, they were not the only ones, the city gate was slightly opened about a third, and a cavalry team also rushed out of the city to intercept the other party.

Both sides slammed into each other with the momentum of the charge, and the knights at the front did not even let out a scream and died directly, but the momentum of the other party's courage was also stopped, and the two sides fought in place, because the blue water leopard also rushed in, so the fireball on the city wall also shined again and slowed down the pace of the beasts.

Both sides of the war are desperately trying to gain time, one side wants to destroy the machinery on the city wall as soon as possible to complete the task of the Beast Spirit King, and the other side wants to repel this opposite high-level force before the beast ignores the sea of fire and rushes up, but obviously the side of the beast has the advantage, after all, the fifth order of more than ten people is not a joke.

Although the two captains tried their best to entangle a beast, the other soldiers were all cannon fodder level in front of the remaining beasts, just delaying time with their lives, and at this time, the third city defense equipment was finally lifted onto the city wall, and a stout cannon was lifted up the city, and the elements in the muzzle of the cannon were constantly gathering.

Even the Beast Spirit King seemed to feel threatened this time, and the roar of the demon ape resounded throughout the audience again, and countless beasts rushed in against the flames.
