And just as Rand and Ron were plundering the aristocratic property, a battle was being fought in the far west of the continent.

Snowflakes were flying, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

The fortified city gate had long been breached, and a large number of murderous Green Goblins poured in through the holes in the gates, but if it was only the Green Goblin soldiers who rushed in, Kanai would not have been so desperate.

This is not the first time that Ironrock has been breached by the Green Goblins, in fact, as the last line of defense on the edge of the human world, the legions stationed here have been fighting against the Green Goblins in the barren lands north of the Shadow Mountains for thousands of years.

The Green Goblin is a monster born in the Badlands, and its lowest members are about the size of humans, but Kanai never imagined that such a terrifying and gigantic creature would be born in their race.

In the ranks of the Green Goblin, a demon giant with a height of more than nine meters rushed out from the other side of the mountain, his body was as hard as steel, he held a huge mace in his hand, rushed into the ranks of the guard legion, like a crazy bison, broke the originally orderly defensive formation, and used his body to resist arrows and spears, forcibly breaking through the gate of Iron Rock City.

If it was just this one, it would have been enough, but everyone didn't expect that from the shadows of the sky, a figure would emerge that covered the sky and the sun.

"Dragons, dragons!" a companion wails in despair.

Kanai watched his companions die one by one under the Green Goblin's sword, as an important line of defense for humans to defend against the Green Goblin, Iron Rock City has been supplied by seven countries to replenish the soldiers, but as time passed, the human kings gradually and selectively forgot the Green Goblin threat from the Barrenlands, and the defense force of Iron Rock City is now very weak, so weak that it can be broken at a touch.

A shadow from the sky came at a pounce, and Kanai's pupils constricted, and she jumped to the side and threw herself into the pile of bloodied corpses.

The monster threw himself into the air, his bony hooks rubbing against the ground and lifting up large slabs of stone, but the lieutenant standing next to Kanai was not so lucky, the sharp hooks piercing his armor like slicing tofu, and the monster grabbed him and flew into the sky, releasing his claws at the top.

Kanai could only hear the adjutant's screams, and when his body landed in front of him, it was like a broken puppet, his armor had long since shattered into pieces of iron, and there were two large piercing holes in his abdomen, and steaming blood and internal organs were gushing out.

If I had just dodged a little slower, I might be lying on the ground like this now!

"Kamra! this is a Kamra!" shouted the only scholar in Ironstone, and there was shouting and screaming all around, all of them slashing desperately.

Kamla is the Hadith term for this monster, and its real name is supposed to be the Nightmare Beast, a creature that is close to dragons rather than dragons, and has the ability to fly as dragons, but cannot control their magical powers, and can only kill enemies with the power of the flesh alone.

Kanai didn't know where the Green Goblins had found a Nightmare Beast to spearhead him, but as a commander, he knew exactly what would happen if the army continued to fight the Green Goblins at the gates.

"Retreat! Retreat to the Cathedral Tower, we can defend ourselves against them with the Arrow Tower!" shouted Kanai in the confusion, feeling the smell of iron in his mouth, and he spat only to realize that he didn't know when his mouth was full of blood.

Damn, I have too few soldiers at my disposal!

No more than seventy soldiers had survived so far, including Kanai, and the Green Goblin's army must have numbered more than five hundred, plus two monsters of astonishing size.

"We retreat!" Kanai knew the meaning of his order, which meant that he had completely relinquished control and control of the gates.

But so far, there is no better way, and if we continue to fight, everyone will die.

"Catapult, launch boulders in the direction of the city gates!"

As the order to retreat was issued, the catapults installed at the city gate also began to cover the retreat of the soldiers, and thousands of pounds of bluestone fell from the sky, forcibly disrupting and decomposing the battle group, quickly isolating the Green Goblin army from the human army.

"Iron Rock City is suffering from a catastrophe that has not been seen in a hundred years, and our strength alone cannot stop the monsters, I have asked the Holy See for help, and I believe that the reinforcements will arrive soon!" Kanai quickly gathered the soldiers around him and gave his own order: "My order is to do everything in your power to save your life before the reinforcements arrive!"

There was another sentence that Kanai didn't dare to say, if the Holy See's reinforcements did not arrive before nightfall today, then the Green Goblins would completely take the city.

"Pray to the gods!" shouted Kanai.

"May the gods cast out evil and darkness!" shouted the surviving soldiers in unison.

"We meet at the cathedral!"

The soldiers were broken into seven columns and left the battlefield from different paths, the roars of the Green Goblins in the distance, and the dense structure made it impossible for the Nightmare Beasts to hunt easily, and they could only watch as the human soldiers disappeared at the end of the road.

......

At the entrance of the cathedral, many remnants of the army had already gathered there, although the drawbridge between the outer city and the inner city had already been pulled up, but Kanai did not think that this method would have any effect, the green goblins had the power of the air.

Kanai climbed the arrow tower and saw in the distance the streets of the outer city, the green-skinned green goblins were advancing rapidly, and in their ranks, the huge monster was very conspicuous, destroying houses all the way, and nothing could stop its tracks.

"Captains, count the number of survivors of your squad! In addition, the wounded will hide in the church first, looking for medicine to treat their wounds!" Kanai looked at the rapidly approaching shadows in the sky with a heavy face, and thought to himself that he would not be able to wait for reinforcements from the Holy See.

Is today the day I return to the galaxy?

"Cheer up, this may be our last battle!" Kanai reached out and wiped the frost from his head, "If anyone has a last word, tell their companions, and if anyone can live, tell their family for their companions!"

Heavy footsteps and drums could be heard in the distance.

Kanai took a fond look at the city, where it took generations of efforts for the human kingdom to regain control of the Iron Rock Mountain from the Green Goblins and drive the Green Goblins back to the Shadow Mountains, where every inch of land was sprinkled with the blood of human soldiers and Green Goblin soldiers.

The silence of the Green Goblins for nearly a hundred years has made humans relax their vigilance, and they have also reduced their financial support and military reinforcement for Iron Rock City year by year.

This city has provided centuries of tranquility to the human world, and today, is that tranquility about to be broken?
