The battle continues, the death toll continues to increase, but no one gives up, everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering, even if their comrades die next to them, the soldiers will scream and continue to fight.
The rear defense line did not hesitate to pay the price of his life in order to resist the beast tide, and the battle on the front line was also under great pressure, and the secret method once every half an hour seemed to have become the norm for the knights, and Sawyer and the eleven lords also fought hard to give the knights time to recover, and successively activated the secret technique at the bottom of the box.
Even Anoke on the tower has overdrawn his mental power again and again, and has used his sea of fire magic power again and again, but anyone can see that every time the sea of fire is a little weaker than the last time.
And the biggest loss is the witch, the tower, the flame, the foundation of the Blue City!
In order to assist Anoke in casting spells, the witch is also overdrawing the power of the tower again and again, and even overdrawing the power of the flames!
As the war continues, the shelter supported by the tower is shrinking little by little!
"Damn it!" Looking at the approaching gray fog and feeling the breath of life disappearing from the rear defense line, Sawyer couldn't help but roar, "How long is it left?!" ”
Sawyer knew that the witch must be watching the battlefield on the front line in some way, and in the same way, he knew that the witch must be watching him.
"Come on, hold on! Victory will come! ”
The witch's answer was the same as always, but Sawyer was not satisfied, from the beginning of the battle to now, most of the day has passed, they have been fighting from evening to night, and from late night to dawn, now, it is close to noon, how long will this black tide last?
The witch was silent, and it was a full half minute before the witch's voice sounded from Sawyer's heart again: "At least, it will last until after nightfall." ”
"That is, at least seven or eight hours left?"
Sawyer smiled bitterly, easily killed a super-level black beast, and opened his mouth to say something, but finally fell silent.
In order to deal with this black tide, Sawyer had checked a lot of information, and he knew that ordinary black tides generally lasted for two to three days, and the scale of the super black tide was only half of that of ordinary black tides, and the speed of the impact of powerful berserk beasts was faster, and the speed of death was also faster, so the duration never exceeded a day, and even in the records, the vast majority of super black tides only lasted about half a day.
But Sawyer also knows that this Super Black Tide is different from the past, and it is not only the berserk beasts in the radiation area of the Blue City Tower and the surrounding areas that participate in this Super Black Tide, but also the intervention of at least two Fallen Kings, and whether it is a war beast, a fallen giant, or a corruptor, a black knight and an associated ghost, they all have the ability to drive the berserk beasts along the way to join this super black tide.
Therefore, the witch's answer did not surprise him much, but the bitterness and powerlessness in his heart were a little more.
The war has continued so far, too many people have died, and the resistance to the Kuroshio Tide is gradually weakening, if it lasts for seven or eight hours...... I'm afraid that the power of the entire Blue City will be discounted.
Originally, in order to resist this Kuroshio, Sawa and several deputy commanders divided all the armies of Blue City into four echelons, three of which were veterans who had experienced many Kuroshio and were responsible for the rotation defense of the defensive line.
The fourth echelon has the largest number of people, almost as many as the first three echelons combined, but its members are all soldiers who have only participated in the Black Tide once or twice, and there are even many recruits who have just been conscripted into the army this year.
And after fifteen hours of attrition, half of the personnel of the first echelon, which suffered the greatest losses, have been replaced by reserves, and the second and third echelons are not much better, and as for the fourth echelon, which is responsible for replenishing the troops, there are less than 20% of the personnel left.
In other words, the attrition of the army in the Blue City is already more than a third of the total number!
The hundreds of thousands of middle and low-level mercenaries who participated in the battle also suffered huge losses, and the number of attritions was close to half, but fortunately, the life-saving ability of this group of mercenaries was far greater than their combat effectiveness, so the reason for the attrition was mostly because of serious injuries, and the number of deaths was less than 10,000.
In addition, the outermost city wall had already been breached, and countless city defense equipment had been destroyed, but fortunately, the commanders had been prepared for this, and the retreating soldiers were not slaughtered under the blockage of the spell trap.
The rear defense line was stormy, and the strong men fighting on the front line also suffered heavy casualties.
Now, more than 50,000 knights only have more than 30,000 people left to continue fighting, although they can be regarded as strong, but their personal strength can only be regarded as the middle of this super black tide, and even some powerful high-level black beasts can't beat it, even if they are just cruising around the defense line, but they still suffer heavy casualties, and even under the deliberate targeting of the black tide, ninety percent of the knights who have been reduced are dragged by several high-level black beasts after being seriously injured, and they are killed outside the city wall.
And more than 3,600 knights also have nearly 100 people killed in battle, 7800 people are seriously injured and evacuated, their strength is much stronger than ordinary knights, but they are also deeper into the Black Tide, once the injured combat effectiveness is weakened, they will be targeted by several high-level black beasts, and there will even be super-level black beasts who will rush up to kill the injured knights regardless of their lives.
So even if Sawa and the lords deliberately took care of it, there were still nearly a hundred great knights who were surrounded and killed in the beast tide.
The only one who has not died is the team of the Titled Knight, after all, after reaching the level of the Titled Knight, he has the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, has the ability to walk in the air, and his life-saving ability has increased greatly, and he is not afraid of the siege of high-level black beasts, even if he encounters the pursuit of super-level black beasts, he can also force them back with the strength of the secret method, which makes the Titled Knights have maintained the data of zero mortality.
But Rao is like this, among the more than 300 titled knights, there are still fifty or sixty people who have to return to the rear defense line for healing because of serious injuries, and there are actually less than 300 titled knights who are really active on the battlefield.
Even a lord-level powerhouse was attacked by five super-level black beasts three hours ago, two super-level black beasts were killed on the spot, while the remaining three super-level black beasts launched a self-explosion around the lord, severely damaging the lord in one fell swoop, if it weren't for the timely reaction of Arnoke on the tower, maybe that lord would have died in this super black tide.
After rushing in the Black Tide again, and saving a seriously injured Great Knight by the way, Sawyer returned to mid-air again, looked around the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, now that the defense of the entire Blue City has been reduced by nearly one-third, in this case, can it really last for another eight hours?
