Chapter 218: Ironrock City Crisis

Above the silent city, the shouts of the sentinels exploded like thunder, and the soldiers, who were in a state of mental and physical tension, lit torches and threw them outside the city, and when the light of the fire illuminated the city gates as if it were day, the source of the commotion was exposed to the people's eyes.

The cyan scales reflected the light, and in the darkness there were pairs of crimson eyes staring at the city, and the snow was flying, and the soldiers could see the snow waves rising in the distance.

It was a sign that the monsters were rapidly approaching.

"Alert! Monster Attack!"

There was a loud roar from the top of the city, and the Crusader soldiers grabbed their spears, and the crockpots filled with fire oil were carried to their feet, and if the monsters dared to come closer, they would immediately face a fire attack.

These damn monsters, it seems that the bad weather didn't take their toll on them, at least on the snow, they ran much faster than horses.

With their sharp claws gripping the ground with force, they move forward at a steady pace.

"According to visual measurements, there are probably nearly a hundred dragonmen!" the non-commissioned officer on duty estimated the number of enemies with a serious expression, "It's not too many, but don't take it lightly, we're not very familiar with the way these monsters fight." ”

"My lord, do you need to ring the alarm bell?"

"Not for the time being, this number is not enough to mobilize the people, if even a small wave of monsters can't be solved, then we are too bad!" the non-commissioned officer shook his head and rejected his subordinate's proposal.

Garrisoned by three squadrons of infantry with more than six hundred men and large weapons of destruction, such as fire oil and rolling logs, the monsters were able to attack at their own peril.

The monsters were fast, but within a few breaths they were approaching the city, and with the help of the unquenched fire, the soldiers could see their sharp claws and bloody mouths full of sharp teeth.

Compared to the last time they attacked the Rangers, these were larger and more ferocious, especially the one at the head, whose claws were like a scythe.

Before the dragons could get close to the walls, the soldiers were already throwing spears downward, and it had to be said that the Crusaders were indeed much stronger than the original garrison of Ironrock City, and the heavy spears stabbed straight down with a whistling sound.

"Poof!"

In the night sky, there was a dull sound of blades entering the body, followed by a terrible scream.

The spear pierced a dragonman's abdomen, pinning it entirely into the snow, and the blood quickly spread around it.

It struggled and roared, the pain seemed to fuel its ferocity even more, and it spread out its two human-like forearms, holding the spear that passed through its body, and pulled it out little by little.

"Roar!"

Hundreds of dragonmen hissed at the same time, mixed into a terrifying noise, these monsters are really a bit too strong, especially their vitality, even the abdomen pierced can struggle to pull out the spear by themselves, it seems that it is not easy to kill them all.

"They're starting to climb the wall!" someone shouted, looking at the dragonmen's appearance up close, you could feel the shuddering terror even more, they stared at the scarlet eyes, gasping for breath, the soldiers could even smell the fishy smell of their exhalation, the sharp claws rubbed against the wall violently, making a sharp and piercing grinding sound, they clung to the wall like a swarm of giant lizards, and climbed up the trend.

"Spear! Second throw!"

Under the order of the non-commissioned officer, the second round of spears came, although it was now night, but fortunately, the concentration of monsters was relatively compact, and there was no need to bother to aim at all, and the sound of popping sounded from time to time in the darkness.

The monsters were roaring.

"Light the oil!" the non-commissioned officer roamed above the city walls, directing the battle, watching as the soldiers lifted the grease crockpots under their feet, lit the fuse with their torches, and slammed them down.

"Whoa!"

"Dangchang!"

Surrounded by flames, the monsters screamed and fell from the walls, their thick scale armor apparently unable to resist the flames like swords, and soon a scorching smell filled the air.

The non-commissioned officer stuck his head out of the city wall and looked down, only to see the monsters surrounded by flames rolling in the snow, trying to use the snow to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but the snow was obviously melting faster than the flames, and before the snow could turn into water, the flames had already burned it into a piece of char.

The non-commissioned officer saw that the burned dragonman's mouth was like a thirsty fish, and its mouth kept opening and closing.

"Keep throwing!" the non-commissioned officer's high-pitched voice rang out.

Spears rained down from the city.

"The IQ of these monsters doesn't seem to be very high, they only know how to rush upwards stupidly, except for a little higher defense, they don't have much advantage over the Green Goblin......" The non-commissioned officer observed the battle situation, and he frowned.

It's a little too easy.

Although these monsters look very fierce, in fact, they can't even climb the city walls, and they can't do any damage to the soldiers on the city.

The non-commissioned officer breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the group of monsters was just bluffing.

"My lord, they retreated!" The sound of the battle gradually faded away, and a raging fire burned under the walls of Iron Rock City, the snow was rapidly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flames were mixed with the charred corpses of dozens of monsters, and the surviving dragonmen hid in a safe area dozens of meters away, staring at the people on the city with cold eyes.

"Don't let your guard down, they're likely to launch a second attack!" the non-commissioned officer exhaled a white breath, and the sweat from the vigorous exercise was blown by the cool breeze and quickly condensed into frost.

"Their attack speed is really fast, but with the city wall, they can't attack us, they are completely passive to the point of being beaten, and we don't have any ......casualties," the soldier reported, his words suddenly stopped, and a snorting sound came out of his throat.

The sound of flapping wings sounded.

A dark shadow flashed.

The soldier's head snapped from his neck and collided with the ground with a dull sound.

Warm blood sprayed on the non-commissioned officer's face, and his pupils constricted suddenly.

What killed this soldier!?

The non-commissioned officer suddenly looked up at the sky, and when he saw the top of his head, he suddenly felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Less than twenty meters above them, dozens of monsters with fleshy wings hovered, baring their fangs at the soldiers below, as if mocking.
