Chapter 53: The Storm III.

Darius had insomnia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling, because since he came to the Legion, he had spent his energy almost every day, so his tired body could always have a good sleep.

But lately it's different, he stays on the city wall every day and has nothing to do, he can only watch the lizardmen gather more and more, full of blood without catharsis, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, so he has a rare insomnia.

There has always been a faint uneasiness in his heart, he doesn't know if this is a soldier's intuition, the sentry fort echoes the snoring of rude soldiers one after another, although he has long been used to this, but obviously he still can't sleep if he continues like this, so he fumbled out of bed and got up and put on his equipment, opened the door and walked out.

Countless torches were inserted into the battlements of the city wall, reflecting the faces of the soldiers who were pale from the cold wind, and the soldiers on duty saw him, twisted their stiff bodies and bent down to salute him.

Darius's gaze looked at the place where the lizardman was, the lizardman was unexpectedly fast, and in the faint moonlight, only a hazy shadow could be seen on the already large altar, the huge black shadow was like a dormant beast, looking at all the legionnaires.

A few days ago, the casters of the legion only tried to harass the altar with a few spells, but they were unexpectedly cracked by the priests, and they did not even achieve the purpose of slowing down the construction of the altar, let alone causing damage to the altar.

In the novels and TV series that Darius has read, those high-flying knights always like to caress their long swords, he once thought that such behavior was just to pretend to be handsome, but now he can understand something, the huge axe is silent in his hand, but he can feel the bloodthirsty desire under the calm appearance, the weapon is not just a weapon at this moment, he stroked the cold axe blade, this is a part of his body, and his most trusted partner.

Just as he was holding the axe, a huge drum resounded through the universe, like a muffled thunder, waking up all the warriors who were sleeping in their sleep.

The continuous sound of drums continued to sound, and then a terrible shout made the atmosphere on the city wall explode at once.

"Enemy Attack !!"

After hearing the war drums of the lizardmen, the defense signal in the fortress sounded immediately, and countless sleeping soldiers hurriedly put on their equipment and ran out of the sentry fort with weapons in their hands.

"Don't panic, keep your post! Robson, you take the men to activate the towers, Anderson, push the ballista over, hurry, hurry! ”

Demons's shouting clearly reached the ears of the soldiers, after all, they were all soldiers, and after a moment of panic, they all began to carry out Demons's orders in an orderly manner.

After the assignment, Deemmons came to Darius's side, "What's going on with this drum?" De Mons? ”

"This is the 'Ancestral Soul Drum', a magic weapon used by priests to bless soldiers with various auras, anyway, the fortress can't be defeated by a sneak attack, and can only be attacked head-on, so they simply came with great fanfare."

De Muns explained to him again and again as he began to adjust the ballista, the killing machines made for war creaking under the drive of gears and winches, and the specially made crossbow arrows were engraved with dense tiny runes. This is a real killer weapon that can exert great power against dense enemies.

Several large white clusters of light rose above the walls of the fortress, and West had used similar spells before, but this time by the joint release of the official mages, the huge clusters of light illuminated the inside and outside of the fortress as bright as day.

In the bright light, the soldiers stationed there saw the incoming enemy clearly, and the lizardmen all over the mountains struck like mudslides, holding polished stones and planks. Due to their lack of forging ability, the lizardmen can only use stone and wood as armor, which is primitive but extremely effective, and this weight is nothing in the face of their brute strength.

By the time the lizardmen at the forefront of the charge came into range, the long-awaited tower showed Darius its formidable power.
