Chapter 6 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
As they got closer and closer to the southwest corner ......of the city, they also saw the chaotic scene in front of them.
Countless civilians crowded the streets and ran desperately towards their rear, so as not to be overwhelmed by the huge torrent, Yacoste had to kick open the door of a house on the side of the road and hide, but the owner of this house was long gone, only the half-lit candle on the table showed that there were people here not long ago.
Wails and screams erupted from the streets, and Acoste quickly ran to the second-floor window to look out, and found a scene that looked like purgatory on earth.
Countless "walking corpses" chased after the crowd, they kept pounced on the humans who landed behind and tore at them, and the orcs also brandished weapons and slaughtered the humans, giving people the feeling of two sides fighting together. In the rear, there are a few human soldiers who are resisting stubbornly, but most of the garrison soldiers died under the surprise attack of the orcs at the first time, and the remaining soldiers at this moment can not resist the attack of the other party at all, they can only rely on the house and the half-orc walking corpse to do a fight, a small number of adventurer squads have also joined the battle, but it is also a drop in the bucket for the enemy's dense army.
However, as time passed, the chaotic situation in Psul City was finally brought under control, and a group of human soldiers wearing purple patterned armor appeared on the battlefield, each of them was covered by strict armor, even their faces were covered with face armor, and they held Yingrong Tower shields and heavy swords in their hands, these elite soldiers were divided into three columns, each column of fourteen warriors formed a shield wall, and the two columns of warriors in the back used their shields against the backs of the soldiers in front, and slowly leaned towards the orcs and walking corpses. The orcs and walking corpses had apparently noticed the presence of the group, and they roared and rushed towards the group of soldiers who were like tin cans, trying to break up the opponent's defenses with their numerical superiority!
The two sides quickly collided in the slightly narrow street, and surprisingly, the charge of the orcs and the attack of the walking corpses did not break through the formation of only three columns of forty-two warriors, but were slowly pushed back by these purple-armored soldiers with large shields.
"Intermediate Professionals! Skilled battle formation! Yacoste couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, this group of soldiers was definitely a mid-level or above warrior who specialized in defense, and their training level of the battle formation was definitely proficient, only in this way could they resist the charge of several times their own enemies with their strength constitution of more than 17 points and the special increase [buffer +3, coordination +2] brought by the battle array!
And behind the group of soldiers in purple armor, dozens of mage robes and masked spellcasters also stood there, they chanted their spells loudly, and the originally steady air flow in the air became irritable as they mobilized their elemental energy, and one after another plastic energy spells representing destruction were thrown by the mages behind the orcs and walking corpses, forming a large-scale explosion.
"Purple Ying Rong Guard, masked mage group ......" Acoste gasped, this is the most elite guard force in Psul City, there is no slave like a half-orc among them, these garrison entry conditions are extremely harsh, not only everyone must have mid-level strength, but also the members who enter the Purple Ying Rong Guard are required to be nobles, civilians and powerful adventurers can't join even if they are awesome. These elite guards are usually stationed in the granary of Psul City, and they will not leave there at all until the critical moment, and it seems that the reaction speed of those noble high-level leaders this time is quite fast.
On the side of the half-orcs and the walking corpses, another pair of Templars and priests wearing silver-white plate armor also cut into the battlefield, Yacoste saw them and knew that there was no suspense in this battle, the combat effectiveness of the temple professionals themselves have the deepest understanding, even in the face of the berserk demons, the demon of the seduction demon They can rely on magic and martial arts not to fall behind, and it is not a problem to deal with the group of half-orcs and walking corpses, although those half-orcs who are not sane and furious are still desperately resisting, But they have no chance of a turnaround at all.
Leaving the window, Acostel pulled over a stool and sat down, his brows locked, although the battle was now very clear, Acostel always felt that there was something unusual bothering him. These walking corpses are absolutely inseparable from the believers of Talona, and the orcs are obviously used by someone as a substitute for the dead, but the result caused by the other party's great effort is thunderous and rainy, could it be that the group of well-fed and supported Talona believers are just experimenting with the power of their newly developed virus or just to fill up the temple of Psul, kill a few civilians and set fire to entertainment?
"What's wrong with you?" Ling couldn't help but let go of a heart in her chest when she saw that the situation was under control, but she couldn't help but ask when she saw that Yacoste was still frowning, Yacoste organized a sentence and told Ling about her worries, wanting to hear if Ling, who was delicate, could find a clue in these unusual things.
"Well, are you thinking too much, Talona's sphere of influence among believers in the main plane is very small, and spreading some viruses and agitating those orcs is probably their limit, after all, this is Psur, the warehouse capital of Am, how can they have the ability to set off a big **** here." Ling thought for a while and didn't find anything wrong, she playfully reached out to pinch Acoste's face, feeling that the other party was too grassy.
"That's right, the grain warehouse! This is the capital of the barn, Am's grain is all in the warehouse, and now the Purple Yingrong Guards and the masked mage group guarding the warehouse are here, so who is left in the granary now?! MD: They actually turned the tiger away from the mountain! Yacoste suddenly stood up from the stool, and the rapid posture made Ling's hand retract in fright, but when he heard Yacoste's analysis, everyone showed a look of shock, if Yacoste's inference is true, then the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Let's go, hopefully we'll be in time." Yacoste rushed out of the room without looking back, he jumped directly from the window, the barn is located in the southeast corner of Psul, and Psul is not a friendly arm of this kind of town, even if it takes dozens of minutes to ride a horse through the intricate streets and alleys, in order to save time, Acoste simply walked on the usual road, and played parkour on the roof of the beam. It's hard for Kogan, the dwarven berserkers don't have the agility of Acoster, so they have to obediently run after their figures on the ground with their little short legs.
