Volume 4: Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 27: The Attack and Defense of Nanhai Town (2)

John looked blankly at the thick and strong leg in front of him, as if he had suddenly fainted after staying up all night for several days, and then was woken up by being splashed with water, and he didn't know what he was thinking at all.

It wasn't until the pain came from the wound that he pulled his consciousness back to reality from his dazedness.

"Ahh Ahh Please! Help me! ”

One of the legs of this human warrior was cut off by an orc who rushed up the city wall with an axe, and there were several players who had the same experience as John, all of whom happened to be nearby, and they were all guys who surrounded and prepared to pick up the leak, but they didn't expect to run into a hard stubble.

The orc was killed by four Banster Royal Praetorian Guards, but before he died, more than ten players were killed or wounded.

The only survivor of John's team, a human thief, crouched beside John in a daze, but he didn't know how to help his teammate, so he could only hold on to John's blood-spurting wound as much as he could, and shouted loudly around him.

"Stop screaming! With this strength, you might as well carry this guy down! Not far away, a knight player leaned on the wall pier to regain his strength, and said indifferently, "But I personally suggest that you better stab him directly in the throat, this kind of injury, even if it is carried to the wounded soldier camp in the rear, it is useless." It would take at least a senior priest to connect the broken leg, and even if you could afford that, no priest would waste magic for cannon fodder like us right now. ”

From the dense scars on the armor on this knight's body, you can know that this is definitely a veteran, the offensive and defensive battles in Nanhai Town have lasted for several days, and some players with good talent have begun to adapt to this kind of war in the era of cold weapons, they have begun to fade away from their youth and illusions, and become pragmatic and indifferent.

Eventually, John lost too much blood and turned into a corpse. The logistical player in charge of collecting the corpse didn't care to drag John's corpse aside, pile up the corpses of other dead players, and wait for the next attack and defense to be transported away together, waiting for these players to come back to claim their equipment.

Such scenes were not uncommon, and as more orcs and trolls entered the fray, so did the casualties suffered by the expeditionary force. Due to the disparity in individual strength, it often takes the lives of several, or even a dozen players, to eliminate an orc. In the face of this increasingly brutal exchange ratio, the enthusiasm of players is also rapidly fading, and there is even a reluctance to go up the city wall. Tadelar had no choice but to let the main force of the expeditionary force plunge into this increasingly brutal offensive and defensive battle.

Because Tibest took away the strongest cavalry, the strongest combat strength under Tadrar was only two troops, one was the royal warband from the Banster Kingdom, the warband of 1,500 people had nearly 700 fourth-order royal guards, this kind of infantry wearing heavy armor and holding broad-bladed swords could be said to be a few elite forces in the human kingdom.

The other is the Radiant Warrior from the Bright Sect, this kind of soldier also has the strength of the fourth order, although the equipment is not as sophisticated as the Royal Praetorian Guard, but because he has been trained by the Bright Sect since childhood, he can use some simple light spells, and his actual combat power even exceeds that of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

But the number of these elite soldiers is too small, and if the fourth-order soldiers, who are less than five thousand in total, are thrown into the brutal attack and defense of the city wall like this, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold out for three days and will be lost. That's why Tadelal agreed to Raphael's suggestion to open up higher rewards to players, and he needed these cannon fodder to consume those damn werewolves and orcs.

However, the player's natural selfishness forced Tadelar to put these elite soldiers into the battlefield in advance, in fact, since yesterday afternoon, the situation on the city wall has begun to become dangerous, many players in order to save their lives, ignoring the danger that the city wall may be breached, in the face of some enemies who are not seriously injured, choose to retreat, and instead besiege those dying targets, the consequence of which is that the number of expeditionary soldiers who were originally used to assist the player in battle has skyrocketed.

Although most of the dead were first-order spearmen and halberders, Tadelal decisively changed his approach, except for a few who performed well, the vast majority of players were placed on the streets within the city walls, responsible for transporting all kinds of combat materials to the city walls in normal times, and following the reserves to block those enemies who successfully climbed the walls when necessary.

"Die!" Eternal Lakelight smashed a troll with a broken hand down the city wall with a hammer, for a troll with strong regeneration ability, such an injury does not even need to use potions, and it will not take a few days to recover, but Eternal Lakelight has no strength to leave this troll here anymore, and it is the best way to drive this guy off the wall before he can cause more damage to himself.

Another rain of arrows flew over his head, but the results were few, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were shot in the eye or throat, and most of the orcs and trolls ignored the arrows that were stuck on him, and climbed up the ladder made of two trunks of different thicknesses.

"Bastard, what are those archers doing!" Eternal Lake Spat and reluctantly retreated to the edge of the wall, where two halberdiers and a royal guard took his place, forming a rudimentary line of defense with several players next to him.

"I can't help it! Since the day before yesterday, the high-grade arrows have been consumed, and how can they have enough lethality just by relying on those arrows made from local materials! Glas sat down one step ahead of the Eternal Lake, and the shield that he regarded as a treasure was also casually placed beside him at this time, "The mage team is said to be almost half dead, and the donkey rider told me yesterday that he was resurrected three times, and the fourth time was rescued by the priest, those troll witch doctors' voodoo spells are really disgusting!" ”

Eternal Lake Light sighed: "An Jie'er was also called to help the priest team, the number of high-level priests is still too small, and those ordinary light priests alone have no time to heal!" ”

The armor on his body was already covered with large and small cracks, and he didn't know if he could still block those orcs from slashing a few times, and Eternal Lake felt that maybe next time he would die because of the armor damage. But now don't talk about changing the armor, even the armor can't be repaired, the continuous offensive and defensive battles not only caused a large number of casualties, but also consumed countless materials, the original blacksmiths in Nanhai Town are now making all kinds of arrows and armor day and night, how can they have time to repair the equipment.

Woo~~~!

Just when the two of them had rested for less than three minutes, a low horn came from not far away, causing Glass and Eternal Lake to change their faces and jump up from the ground like a conditioned reflex.

Without saying a word, the two men took up their weapons and shields and ran towards the wall, the sound of the horn signaled that there was a danger of being breached, and it was clear that the enemy had invested a large number of troops in that section of the wall.

But faster than the two was a white figure. Stretched pure white wings flew over the two of them with slender figures, and landed in front of the soldiers who were struggling to resist the orc attack. Raphael, who turned into an angel, held a long sword burning with holy white flames, and with a simple sweep, the three orc warriors in front of him were surrounded by the flame of light and turned into three humanoid torches.

The presence of the Angel Body reinvigorates the courage of soldiers who have begun to be timid, in other words, just by being present, Raphael can give a certain range of human soldiers and players in a certain vicinity with an aura effect of +3 morale and +3 tenacity. Immediately after that, a group of halberds who rushed to the city wall to support quickly lined up in a tight formation, wielding a sharp halberd three meters long in their hands, squeezing the orc warriors who were captured by Raphael's ferocity little by little, and finally wiped out the small group of orc warriors who rushed up the city wall under the shooting of bows and arrows and the death of more than a dozen soldiers.

Looking around at the soldiers beside him with large and small injuries, Raphael spread his wings, got down on one knee, and stuck the Holy Flame Sword in his hand into the city wall. A clear and beautiful prayer came from her mouth, and the warm power of light centered on her emanated like ripples, healing the wounded soldiers and replenishing their strength.

As the last syllable ends, the pure white wings explode into patches of white feathers, which, upon contact with the human body, form a thin film of light on the surface, which can provide them with small help, such as reducing some of their physical exertion or fending off a deadly attack.

Raphael, who had exhausted the angelic power in her body, stood up from the ground, perhaps because of the powerful power that exploded in a short period of time, so that she couldn't help but stumble, but fortunately, Princess Lana, who followed closely, was quick and helped her.

"You're working too hard, Raphael!" Although relying on the angel soul in the body, it can burst out with third-order or even fourth-order strength in a short period of time, but this will have a great burden on Raphael's physical strength and soul, so far, this skill has only been used a few times, but the brutal offensive and defensive battles in the past few days have not only made Tadelal frown, but Raphael has also used this ability more than once.

Raphael shook his head and said to the halberdier captain who was leading the reinforcements: "Let those wounded soldiers go down and rest, and the next rotation time will be an hour earlier." Your squad stays and takes care of the defenses here! ”

"Yes, Lord Raphael!"

Princess Lana had no problem with such an arrangement, or that something like that had happened several times. With those damned wolf cubs uniting with orcs and trolls to attack, Raphael became the true commander of the entire town of Southsea. Tadelar is just a high priest, and although he has heroic strength, he is not good at military affairs. The archmage of Dalaran was fully focused on concocting potions and fighting the trolls of voodoo. As for the shield guard from the Holy See of Light, there is no doubt that it is more competent to make him a guard than to be a commander.

Therefore, the burden of commanding the defense of Nanhai Town fell on Raphael, and Horbels voluntarily obeyed her orders out of guilt from the previous incident, not to mention Rasfield, who wished to perform better in front of Raphael. Lana and the others will naturally compete with Raphael for something in this situation.

Without the power of the angels, Raphael was not even a good warrior, so he quickly left the battlefield on the city walls under Lana's protection, leaving it to the soldiers and players.

Glass and the Eternal Lake were separated by a distance of dozens of meters, watching the girl leave step by step, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

"It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!" Eternal Lake said self-deprecatingly, "She hasn't even done the advanced challenge yet, and she can have such a powerful power, it's a foul!" ”

"I've decided, Huguang!" Glass didn't answer, but said thoughtlessly, believing that the Eternal Lake Light would understand what he meant.

Hearing the words of the head of his own group, Eternal Lakelight's heart couldn't help but beat a few times: "You mean, you decided to join this little girl's so-called guild like those guys?" ”

"What else could I do? As you can see, no matter what the outcome of this expedition is, her future can be said to be a smooth one. Look at us again, Huguang, I now understand that this world of Ntagri is not as peaceful, tranquil and beautiful as we imagined! There are wars and dangers everywhere, and a battle like today's is not even a formal war, it can only be said to be a regional conflict! Glass sighed, if there is no way, who wants to be a pawn in the hands of others and follow other people's orders, but as the so-called situation is stronger than people, even if he can hold on, what about his team? Without the support of a powerful force, how long can he develop the Radiance Watch on his own?

Eternal Lake Light was not too surprised by Glass's decision, he, like Glass, was just a small commoner in reality, with neither strong financial resources nor superior status, and only because he entered this world one step ahead of other players, and it was only by chance that he developed to this point. But as the number of players increases, so will people like Raphael with unique advantages, and Radiance Watch will continue to decline under the constant onslaught of these players, and eventually disappear from the crowd.

"It's okay to decide, I heard that she and Princess Lana have been discussing the establishment of a guild for the past few days, take advantage of this opportunity to join, and we can also mix the position of the patriarch." Eternal Lake Light feels good about Raphael, at least he thinks that this female gamer is much better than other guys who wear heavy makeup and only know how to cling to others, and there shouldn't be anything unpleasant about working under the hands of such a president. "The question is what do other people think? Donkey riding and Angel shouldn't have a problem, they're all companions who came with you, just like me, but Phelps? ”

Glass waved his hand: "It's okay, let's get together and disperse!" The same goes for those who are willing to follow him. But that's all after this nightmare is over! ”
