Chapter 393: The heart is like a knife
The devil came quickly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The more than 1,000 warriors who followed Verina outside the gates of the main fort had already arrived before even half of them entered the main fort.
In fact, there have been traces of demons outside of the jewels one after another. But Verina personally organized the strength of two squadrons to deal with this small-scale demon, and the results were not bad, and the small-scale enemies who came before were not able to threaten the troops who entered the main fortress.
But this time was different.
Standing at the window, Paran could see better than anyone else. The demons who came this time were vast, and among them, there were also human troops in a phalanx, which were obviously the descendants brought out by Governor Conry from Cinderella.
Paran estimated that Governor Conry himself was probably in the middle of the army.
Nearby, a guard leaned over and whispered in his ear, "General, should we close the gates?" β
Paran clenched her teeth, her lips pursed tightly and she didn't speak.
"General?" The guard urged again.
"I see!" He burst out so suddenly that the guard didn't dare to speak anymore.
He put his eyes back on the window, outside the main fort, the soldiers near the door also seemed to feel the approach of death, and they were faintly a little restless, and began to be more anxious to hope that they could rush into the gate as soon as possible, and discipline was slowly collapsing.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Palan's mouth, and he said: "Tell the guards guarding the gate below, let everyone line up honestly for me, whoever dares to crowd, who dares to disobey orders, who dares to disrupt order, kill!" β
"Yes!" The guards behind him received the order and went down to give the order.
A moment later, there was a scuffle in front of the main fort gates, and two more screams returned.
In the meantime, Paran didn't even look down. His gaze had been fixed in front of the main castle, and he had organized a team of about two hundred people, ready to fight the demon to the death.
That woman wouldn't be unaware that she was facing a battle that she was going to lose. With the thousands of demons on the opposite side, as well as the Cinderella Praetorian Guard personally led by the Grand Karcist Kangri, her two hundred people were placed on the ground, and they might not even be able to withstand a single charge.
Even if she could take advantage of the terrain in front of the castle and not face too many enemies at the same time, she wouldn't be able to last long.
It was a battle to the death, but she still looked so resolute and vigorous, still actively organizing her team, still firmly boosting her morale, ready to fight the enemy to the death.
Paran also saw that the female knight turned her head once. The eyes of the two looked at each other from afar.
In fact, at such a distance, Paran couldn't even see the expression on her face clearly. But he still felt the meaning in Verina's gaze, as if asking him, "Why haven't you closed the door yet?" β
Palan's mouth opened slightly, and he muttered something that no one could hear but himself: "I'm waiting for you to come in...... Can you stop being stupid? Is it okay to come in? β
He received no answerβno answer, of course, as if he had proposed a few minutes earlier, and the knightess had given him no answer.
The demons have been assembled. They stayed outside the main fort for only a few moments before they began to move forward.
Under the approach of such a large number of demons, Verina's two hundred people were not much worse than a group of ants standing in front of a giant.
Paran closed her eyes in pain, and sure enough, it was impossible for Verina to come in on her own. If she had come in, she might have been able to save her life, but the door probably wouldn't have been closed. The soldiers outside the door, it is precisely because she is there that the backbone is still there, so they can barely maintain order. Once Verina enters, the soldiers outside, no matter how stupid, will know that they have been abandoned.
What's more, in order to have a safe environment to enter the door, someone must clear out the demons that were constantly approaching before. This is also a job that needs to be commanded by Verina herself, and if you change it to anyone else, who can guarantee that you can suppress the soldiers to break the back?
When the time comes, before the gate closes, the first people to storm the gate are these soldiers outside the main fort!
There are moments of brilliance in human nature, but there is a dark side to human nature.
"Put ...... Cut off all those who haven't come in and shut the door. β
Paran finally gave the order.
When the demons began to attack, it was also when the gates of the main fortress were closed.
Outside the door, the soldiers who were pushed back two steps back looked in amazement at the door that had suddenly closed tightly. The silence lasted only a second, and they reacted: they were abandoned.
The panicked mood instantly permeated everyone's heart. Outside the gate, there were still a hundred or so soldiers who had neither entered the gate nor been organized to fight the demons, and without any command, they rushed to the bottom of the gate, looking up, some crying and begging, some scolding.
But what's the use? The gate of the main fort is made of solid boulders, and even if there are siege weapons, it is not known how long it will take. Where is the door that these soldiers can knock on with their weapons in their hands?
They shouted and cursed under the gates of the main fortress, they could not open the door, but they could call the demons.
The devil is coming.
Verina's two hundred men could not have stopped all the demons, but there were still many, many demons who rushed through their defenses and came closer.
Of course, no demon can threaten the humans in the main castle. But the hundreds of soldiers in front of the gate who had broken down became the best targets for the demons to slaughter.
These people, without even the slightest effective resistance, were killed. The casualties paid by the demons were not small, but few of them were killed by these soldiers, most of them were killed by the human archers who shot the battlements on several floors of the main fort, and the human mages used spells to kill them.
Paran never looked at the battle in front of the gate, he didn't care at all. This demon can't break through the gate of the main fortress, and the hundred or so soldiers who couldn't get in are already like dead people in his heart, so what else is there to care about?
His eyes were fixed on the glorious figure who was constantly fighting among the demons, and his hands were clenched tightly, as if he were pinching his own heart.
He watched the soldiers around her fall one by one, and he watched her continue to kill one demon after another, and she was also left with wounds all over her body. But he couldn't do anything, he just watched like this.
Paran felt an emotion, and he now understood what it was like to have a heart twisted like a knife.
