In order to achieve the central flowering tactic, Holstown must withstand the enemy's attack for at least nearly a month to ensure that Krusov's First Army can complete its strategic deployment. Higg was confident in defending the city, but he was worried about whether the two sides would understand the first cooperation with Krusov.

Higg reorganized the 3rd and 5th Legions, a total of 25,000 people, with Colenva dispatching and deploying the city defense, Lufasi and the Holy Knights to carry out counterattacks out of the city at any time, Korincha was responsible for the defense of the city walls, and Noah and Jesse were responsible for the command of the baggage army, and the whole army was ready to fight.

Tolstoy and Simeone's armies were to the north and west, and Djokov's Abyssal Hell armies were to the south and east, besieging the city of Holstown. The first to attack was Tolstoy's pagan army and Simeone's Fifth Theater of Operations, which launched a fierce attack on the city of Hofstown at the West Gate and the North City, while Djokov's army did not respond for the time being, indifferent to the actions of Tolstoy and Simeone, as if they wanted Tolstoy and Simeone's army to consume some of the strength of the Third Army before they attacked.

did not get a response from Djokov, Tolstoy and Simeone's army did not do their best, the intensity of the siege most of the time only thunder, no raindrops, such a siege posture, no matter what, it is impossible to cause any great losses and casualties to the city of Holstown, the enemy's coalition forces, either estranged, or brewing some conspiracy!

Higg and Kolenwa did not go out of the city to fight, the enemy is obviously unclear, before their combat intentions are clear, rash attack is likely to be the enemy's pawn, the enemy tepidly launched an attack on the city of Holstown, Hig and Kolenwa are also happy to see it, so that for the time being, there is no need to expose the strength of their Phantom Shooter and Paladin's hole cards, and even hide a large number of repeater chariots. The two sides seem to be engaged in siege and defense operations, but in fact they are more like a show of weakness to each other.

After maintaining this state for seven or eight days, the army of the Abyss Hell Clan finally launched a full-scale attack, because the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them, and the reinforcements on the defending side will not be long before they arrive, and they can form a counter-encirclement against them, and they must forcibly eat the bait of Holstown City.

In the southeast of the city of Holstown, the earth is trembling, the smoke is billowing, the earth is cracking, countless ravines of different sizes are revealed after the smoke and dust, under the ravines, is the red hot lava, billowing black smoke, these lava flow ravines, compiled into a huge lava flow network, in the center of this large network, the lava flow gradually gathered, and shot into the air, compiled into a huge skull shape, full of thirty or forty meters high, these hot lava gradually cooled, the cooled lava solidified into yellow-brown rock, It still retains the appearance of a skull, deep eyes, a big mouth with a huge black hole, and a mouth that is meters wide and seven or eight meters high.

"Underground passage entrance?" Lufasi and Sindorf exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"What underpass? Leads to the lair of the Abyssal Hellclan? Higg also asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Lu Faxi nodded and said worriedly, "The enemy is far stronger than we thought, their reinforcements have been preparing for a long time, and our reinforcements will take at least more than ten days to arrive!" The appearance of the underground passage shows that the Abyssal Hell Clan has declared an all-out war on us, and unexpectedly, the Hell Abyss Clan has been planning for a long time in Camillo Province! ”

"Isn't that right?" Higg sneered, "I was worried about not being able to find where their lair was, but now that there is an underground passage entrance, it means that they have exposed their target!" ”

"Hmph, what about exposing the target?" Lu Faxi laughed, "If the Hell Abyss Clan is not prepared, they dare to expose the underground passages?" Even if there is a passage, what can be done? Do you know where their lair is? You know, underground lava abysses are everywhere, mountains, plains, hills and even the sea can be lava underneath, and the territory controlled by the Hell Abyss Clan is even larger than the territory of the entire Middle-earth continent, can you find their lair? ”

"What, bigger than Middle-earth?" Higg was taken aback.

"It's an exaggeration, but it's not unreasonable!" Sindorf said, "The territory of the Hell Abyss Clan is not an entire territory like Middle-earth, but connects the underground lava abyss passages to each other, forming an underground network covering the entire continent and even the ocean, so the appearance of the entrances and exits of the Hell Abyss Clan is not just one, but may be many, where and when they appear, it is elusive!" ”

"The Hell Abyss Clan is so powerful that it covers the entire world of Middle-earth?" Higg said in surprise, "In this way, the appearance of the underground passage and the target of the declaration of war will not only be Alasia, but the entire Middle-earth world!" ”

Lu Fasi said: "That being said, who wants to get involved in this war when the war has not yet spread to the territory of various countries and powers? They wish they could see Erathea's strength weakened and defeat both sides of the Abyssal Hellclan! Although other countries and forces will also be strong, but it is too difficult to form a unified alliance with the outside world, Middle-earth, needs a leader, and the whole world is looking forward to a new heroic leader! ”

At the entrance and exit of the huge underground passage, rows of Gog, Magog, Hellhound, Horned Demons, and evil gods came out of the underground in a steady stream, joining Djokov's Abyssal Hell Army, and then quickly formed a siege phalanx, and the hot lava also emerged from the lava flow of the ravine, extending to the city of Holstown, and extending to the moat, the hot magma met the river water and cooled rapidly, accompanied by the hot steaming of the moat, solidified into hard rock, and after a while, the south and east moats were water, It was shocking that it had all evaporated and the moat was filled with gray-brown rocks.

The entire south and east of Holstown City suddenly turned into a gray-brown sea, and all the trees, grass, and houses were all swallowed up by these lava flows, leaving only the army of the Hell Abyss Clan, which was attacking Holstown City.

Higg's face was solemn, the enemy instantly increased his troops by at least 100,000 people, and in the underground passage, I don't know how many enemies will emerge, now there are more than 200,000 people in the entire Abyss Hell Clan's army, and Tolstoy and Simeone also have more than 100,000 in the north and west, even if Krusov's First Army reinforcements arrive, they may not be able to defeat it, and with the current situation developing, Holstown City is already a lonely city, and whether it can hold on until Krusov arrives is not certain.

"Whoosh-" "Puff-puff-" Before the enemy reached the city walls, the crossbow chariots, crossbowmen, and phantom archers were already pouring their arrows and crossbows at the enemy, and the Gog and Magog below the city were also throwing fireballs at the walls. The Lords of the Abyssal Hell were still driving the hot lava towards the walls, and the lava cooled layer after layer below the walls, forming steps in front of the walls, slowly climbing up the walls. This is indeed a unique way to siege the city, not with siege baggage, but with lava to erect steps in front of the city walls. However, the way this step is advanced is very slow, and the Lords of Hell do not dare to get too close to the city wall and enter the range of the opponent, and they also need to use their own army phalanx for cover, and it also takes time for the magma to solidify and cool into rock.

The choking smell of lava and the steaming heat made it difficult for the soldiers defending the city to adapt for a while, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, especially since they had never seen such a strange way of fighting, they were completely caught off guard, and for a while, they were not safe to be at a disadvantage.

A huge dark cloud drifted from afar, drifting over the city of Holstown, and soon lightning and thunder roared, and then a heavy rain fell, and the Hell Abyss Clan camps east and south of Holstown City, the rain fell into the lava flow that crisscrossed the ravine, and immediately boiled violently, and was instantly evaporated! In the entire battlefield in the south and east of the city, a strange scene occurred, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain was scared in midair, and the heat was steaming everywhere on the ground, turning into a dense fog area, and the army of the Abyss Hell Clan was completely shrouded in this thick steam and fog, and almost no one could see it.

It was difficult to cool and solidify all the lava with rain alone, but the heavy rain did not stop immediately, and the rainwater on the flat ground between the ravines slowly gathered and formed a stream of water, which also poured into the ravines! Although the water that entered the ravine did not accumulate and was completely evaporated by the hot magma, the magma began to slowly be poured into rocks by more and more rainwater, and the hard rock could no longer flow.

The lava flowing towards the city walls finally stopped flowing, and the lava in the ravines was gradually covered with rocks, and the Abyss Hell Lord could no longer drive these things that had solidified into rocks, but was scalded by this hot steam, and many soldiers were burned, and a vigorous siege battle was actually extinguished by a heavy rain.

"Magic Mage!" Djokov suddenly realized, "No wonder, it turns out that there are magic mages in the enemy camp!" Alasia risked the world's condemnation to let the magic mage intervene in the worldly dispute, hahaha! ”

"Lord Marshal, now is not the time to argue whether the magic mage intervened in the war, the siege was blocked, what should we do!" A lord beside him said.

Djokov smiled: "There are only more than 20,000 people in the city, and our coalition army has more than 300,000, so what if they have magic mages?" In the entire Middle-earth world, with the ability of a magic mage, it is just Delon, and he can still fight against our hundreds of thousands of troops? A heavy rain is enough to drain all the magic of the magic mage! Tell Tolstoy and Simeone to continue to attack the city with all their might, and we will immediately assemble the siege equipment and break the city gate first! ”

Tolstoy and Simeone's Fifth Theater of Operations, with a total strength of 150,000 troops, was simply a rabble in the eyes of the elite Third and Fifth Theaters, and when the Fifth Theater was still reorganized, it was not the opponent of the Third Army, let alone now? After all, Holstown City is not in Camillo, Colenva is not worried about the infidels in the city, as long as he relies on the city's defenses, Tolstoy and Simeone have nothing to do with Holstown City, what he is worried about is the abyssal hell army with endless tactics, and so far, he has not been able to fully adapt to the fighting style of these strange troops.
