Chapter 114. Countdown to life and death
In the first minute of death, the 6th minute, the number of soldiers killed was determined: 4.
Seventh minute: 12.
Eighth minute: 20.
This is a battle from which there is no turning back, and even more so, a battle from which there can be no evacuation.
"Kill!" "Can't die!" "Definitely going back alive!" "You can't fall down yet!" "President Qing Yuhuai will definitely be able to arrive!"
The grizzled soldiers shouted in their hearts. Among them, whether male or female, at least two of the seven orifices are bleeding. (Most of the blood that comes out of the seven orifices is black-red.) )
or eyes, nose, mouth, nose, ears.
Originally, after the magic power was exhausted, ordinary people would go into a coma. It's like fainting from hunger.
However, when people run out of magic, they still rely on their will and choose to persist in fighting. Then the magic power that was originally transformed by the spirit will begin to overdraw the life force and replenish it additionally.
That's why these soldiers bleed. This is the inevitable manifestation of overdrawing magic. (That's right, at this point, the mana that these warriors have gained from the mid-level mana crystals has been depleted.) )
Soldiers are human beings, they can be afraid and afraid, but they have a heart of courage that far surpasses that of mortals, and a heart of dedication that dares to sacrifice for others.
These Kecheng soldiers clearly knew that if they did this, they would not only lose their lives, but also die.
But for the sake of the safety of thousands of people in the city, (for the sake of their own families in the city,) they resolutely made the choice of self-sacrifice. (In fact, 3 of the 36 people who fought bravely in the second round died of loss of vitality.) )
[Recall: As early as the morning, Li Mo informed these soldiers of the possibility of an attack on Kecheng. But none of these brothers and sisters who were born and died with Li Mo chose to escape. The few cowardly ones did not choose to flee, but chose to garrison the city. γ
"Can't fall yet! Again, hold on a little longer!! β
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! β
Through self-motivation, the soldiers constantly support their bodies that may be unconscious at any time.
Although these words can indeed be called FLAG, it is difficult for people to break through the limit without a slogan, a belief, an expectation, and a goal when they reach the limit.
At this moment, the soldiers' movements were completely inferior to before. Their swings of the sword became more and more sluggish; Dodge also began to become sluggish; Casting magic to support other people's actions is no longer timely.
On the other hand, those low-level demons, skeletons and zombies, are still dexterous and ruthless. The low-level demons who had no mind still charged without hesitation.
Due to the gradual increase in the number of injured, unconscious, deaths. Most of the shopkeepers led by the city lord, as well as the bodyguards of the song tower, also broke out of the barrier at this moment and fought to the death against the demons.
One by one, the fallen soldiers were left on the inside of the barrier. Due to the urgency of the battle, they should have been blessed with healing magic (life) or holy light (death), but at this moment they could only fall silently on the cold ground.
Only 10% of these people are sober. The remaining 90% are either unconscious or dead. Among the sober people, all of them were seriously injured, or had broken arms, or short legs, or had 3 or 4 mutilations or bullets all over their bodies.
The pain was so severe that they couldn't be knocked unconscious.
β¦β¦
At this time, there are still 60 seconds left before the agreed time of Qing Yuhuai. Victory, as if at hand.
But in reality, victory is far from that simple.
Of the 174 soldiers, in addition to the 36 who have already died, nearly 40 soldiers have fallen into a coma due to serious injuries.
So at this moment, Li Mo's troops are less than 100.
Even if you count: the elder squad led by the city lord, and the squadron of men in black sent by Joshua, it is only 150.
The number of 150 sounds like it can really last another 60 seconds.
However, in reality, there are only 30 people who can really hold on for 60 seconds.
More than half of Li Mo's soldiers have entered a 'trance state' at this momentβan extremely bad state: their vision will be narrowed or blurred by suffocation; The brain is occupied by two extreme sensations: burning and fluttering. At the same time, some inconsequential senses, such as hearing, pain, smell, and touch, completely enter a state of paralysis.
This is a special feeling that occurs when the magic is exhausted and the life force is about to be exhausted. (To put it bluntly, how you feel before sudden death.) )
Not to mention 60 seconds, most people may not be able to hold even 10 seconds. (They almost stopped breathing.) )
And those shopkeepers brought by the city lords. Due to their advanced age and the fact that they don't use high-cost magic regularly, 10 out of 15 are already 'physically exhausted'.
Among the black-clothed bodyguards sent by Joshua, there were also nearly 10 bodyguards, and because of their innate qualifications, their magic power was at the bottom.
[Hidden description: Even Ariel, who is a dragon, is a little tired, and her expression is a little sluggish. The eight golden cone-shaped crystals that had surrounded her before had also been unconsciously reduced to three. γ
Although Li Mo didn't know what the magic power of the singer tower and those people brought by the city lord was.
But he knew that the soldiers under his command must have reached their limit.
After all, those are their own brothers and sisters, tired or not, you can see at a glance. What's more, the movements of these soldiers at this moment are very different from 8 minutes ago.
Boom!
While Li Mo bombarded the demons threatening his brother in the distance with his magic gun, he slashed the demons at close range with his sword.
Looking at the brothers in the distance who were getting worse and worse, Li Mo gritted his teeth tightly, frowned and thought: "No, if it continues like this, it will definitely not be able to hold ......"
Immediately, the terrifying image of the barrier being breached and Koswall being bombarded into ruins by thousands of magic bullets appeared in his mind.
At the same time, a zombie demon also swung a black magic sword towards Li Mo.
Phew! Brush!
Li Mo used his own sword to block the demon's sword and guide the demon's sword to slide in a direction that was not conducive to standing.
Boom! Immediately, the magic gun on his left hand shot towards the demon's head.
Syllable.
The zombie demon immediately fell to the ground, turned into black smoke, and quickly dissipated.
"No! Don't let that happen! β
Li Mo's eyebrows rose, and the heroic spirit instantly washed away the exhaustion on his face.
The next moment, he put away the magic weapon and took out the level 7 light elemental magic crystal, which had been inexplicably taken away when he first met Ninety-Nine.
Due to the huge gap in the volume of the level 7 and level 5 magic crystals, Sister Wrist immediately realized that Li Mo was planning to use the high-level magic crystals that were very likely to die.
"Li Mo, what are you doing!" Sister Wrist said ruthlessly.
Li Mo ignored Sister Wrist, to be precise, Li Mo at this moment had long lost the strength to speak due to the long wheel battle.
