Chapter 151: Fierce Battle

They entered the town in two directions, east and south of the town. When Diego saw Brother Samuel's party for the last time, the Night Elves, who had turned into cheetahs, were fading into the shadows.

Rainier was at the front of the line, his armor was the best, from Stormwind's most outstanding dwarven craftsmen, this heavy armor was not like those traditional cavalry armor, but the front protection was strong, and its back also adopted a worm-bellied cascading structure, even if it was surrounded by enemies from all sides, it could resist for a while, which was very suitable for the top soldiers.

They hadn't sent scouts before, because it was really hard for the living to sneak in in a deserted town full of undead creatures. Even if they sent people to reconnoitre, they could only walk around the outskirts of the town a few times and get no valuable information.

As we entered the town, the fog grew thicker. This kind of weather is obviously not a natural occurrence, but a hidden cause. Looking at the black hole in the streets more than twenty meters away, Diego felt like a blind man, because there could be a ghoul or some other monster popping up at any moment. At this distance, when these monsters appeared, they were almost already in front of them.

Diego hated the feeling so much that he couldn't help but pull out his revolver and fire a flare into the fog in the distance.

The flares burned violently across the sky, slightly dispelling some of the fog so that they could see the street ahead, but the sight in the fog made them shudder.

The undead have always relied on quantity to win, and Diego and his party were prepared for this, but they were still deeply shocked when they saw hundreds of skeletons, zombies, and ghouls huddled together.

By this time, Rainier was too far ahead, no more than twenty yards away from them. It was too late for him to retreat, as the undead were rushing towards him, and it was obviously unwise to leave his back to them at this time. He raised the heavy sword in his hand and assumed a posture of battle. Then the next moment, he was overwhelmed by this tide of death.

Before Reinier was pounced, Diego didn't hesitate to fire in his direction. At this distance, the shotgun marbles could not penetrate the heavy armor he was wearing. But to the undead creatures around him, it was as sharp as the scythe of death. Diego fired more than a dozen shots in a row, and by the time the gunfire stopped, there was not a single undead standing around Rainier.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rainier's family guards hurriedly rushed forward. He took his head of the house back. The next moment, the roaring gunfire rang out again.

"Hell, it hurts me." Rainier raised his arm and barely brushed his back, and the steel balls embedded in his armor crackled and fell to the ground. Although these steel balls did not penetrate the armor, contusions were certainly indispensable. He bet his back must be covered in bruises by now.

"If you don't come up to help, then everyone will really die together!" Diego shouted in a grumpy voice. The musket in his hand never stopped firing, and the undead who rushed towards them seemed to have encountered an invisible line, and every undead who tried to cross it was torn apart. He who dies cannot die anymore.

But in the eyes of the walking dead, who don't know what fear is, the fall of their companions is not enough to cause their collapse - in this respect, the human armies that are most likely to be defeated if they are more than half killed - they still push forward slowly but surely, and the invisible line has moved closer and closer to the human side.

At that moment, the musket in Diego's hand made a "click" sound of an empty magazine hanging up - in just a few minutes, a full magazine of 100 rounds had been emptied.

"Cover me!" Diego took a few steps back and shouted.

Beside him, the soldiers rushed forward like a tidal wave. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, these soldiers still have an advantage in fighting these undead creatures: these walking corpses are stiff and rigid in their movements, and they don't know how to parry or dodge at all. It's just that the strength is greater, but it's not a problem for a soldier to fight three or four. Not to mention that Rainier has invested a lot in his private soldiers, and they are equipped with the best chain mail. So as soon as they made contact, the soldiers not only withstood the flood of undead attacks. He also pushed them back a long way.

Diego pulled a new magazine out of his bag and replaced it with a musket, this time with a blaze round.

After surviving the panic caused by the initial encounter, and discovering that the combat power of these monsters is not as terrifying as their appearance, the soldiers finally began to show the skills and cooperation in their usual training. Heavily armored Rainier and shield-wielding soldiers fend off the monsters' onslaught, while sword-wielding and axe-wielding soldiers cover the wings, and the remaining ones wield daggles. Agile soldiers are tasked with picking up those that slip through the net.

But that wasn't enough to fend off the swarming undead, as more and more monsters were appearing at the end of the streets, as if they were endless. Even more deadly, several new enemies are mixed in with them that are far taller than their zombie or skeleton warriors.

Hate! These huge monsters finally appeared, and they brandished the huge meat hooks used to hang animals in the slaughterhouse, and smashed them fiercely, and where the chains passed, there was no enemy and no one, a piece of minced meat. In just one moment, the shield at the very front of the queue was hooked.

A gap appeared in the shield wall, which had lost its integrity. Like a flood bursting its banks, the undead attacked through the gap and swept out to both sides.

"Stand back!" Rainier shouted at his highest level so that all his subordinates could hear the order, "Form a defensive circle!" Regroup after retreating to the street corner! ”

His orders were effectively carried out. As if in the blink of an eye, two smaller circular formations appeared, and they began to retreat like two millstones in the face of enemy attacks. The soldiers formed a dense formation, fighting and retreating, and every monster that tried to rush through the circle was hit by weapons swung from both sides at the same time, slashing to the ground.

But Rainier knew they wouldn't be able to withstand it for long, for those abominable blows could come again at any moment, and perhaps a few slashes could break their formation again.

"Do something, do something, Diego! We can't stop them for too long! He shouted without looking back, knowing that the hunter would not let him down.

And so it was, and a few seconds later, the deafening sound of gunfire roared again, and he could even hear the roar of bullets in the concussive air as they flew overhead. He saw a brilliant orange flame burst out from the behemoth in the distance, setting it on fire.

Abomination let out an earth-shattering scream, but his sheer size meant that he didn't die so quickly, but like a flaming torch, he took a step forward, trying to attack the man who hurt it with the flesh hook on the chain.

But before he could reach the human, the body that had been forcibly stitched together by the abomination burst open, and the foul-smelling entrails and rotten flesh scattered all over the ground. But it stinks enough in the first place, and this stuff just makes it smell a little worse, and while it's disgusting, it's not so poisonous as it gasses.

Gunshots rang out several times in quick succession, and several more Abominations fell, their sheer size making it easy for Diego to hit his target. But just before he could get them done, the unexpected happened.

Guan Haifa, who had been guarding Diego's back, leapt to his feet and used his body to block a magical arrow of shadow energy that shot from the shadows. (To be continued.) )
