Chapter 441: Cheers' Cheers
The Eslazer Realm, the kingdom of Skagen, with the capital of Fort Kellon.
At the head of the city, the soldiers defending the city fell to the ground one after another, taking advantage of the free time of the battle to seize some time to recover some strength. The soldiers were covered in scars and tattered armor, and their red, rabbit-like eyes showed that they had been fighting for a long time.
There seemed to be no trace of life in the red eyes of all the soldiers. The protracted battles and the terrifying enemies beneath the walls have drained all the will of the kingdom's most elite soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that if the enemy captured the city, it would be impossible for everyone, including them, to survive, and a large part of these extremely tired soldiers would definitely choose to surrender.
In the beginning, many of the other cities in the kingdom surrendered in the face of those terrible enemies. But to everyone's shock, the enemy didn't care whether you surrendered or resisted, as long as they breached the city, they would start to slaughter the city.
The cities that had surrendered at the beginning were never heard from again after sending out some desperate magical messages. The rest of the cities, which had been alerted, began to resist vigorously. But the enemy is unexpectedly strong, and inside the kingdom's magic tower, information of the fall of several cities is heard every day.
Finally, three days earlier, the enemy had stormed the capital, Fort Kellon.
As the capital of the kingdom of Skagen, Fort Kailong had a relatively strong defense, so it was able to survive the non-stop attacks of the enemy for three days. But even if the royal family sent out all the palace guards and used the method of rotating defense, all the soldiers in Fort Chiron had reached a limit physically and mentally.
On the top of the city. There was not the slightest sound. Even the soldiers who were covered in wounds. I am also used to the pain. The soldiers knew that they might lose their lives in the next round of enemy attacks, but they were already the most powerful in Fort Chellon, and they could not afford to back down.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the base of the city walls. Almost all the soldiers stood up alertly and grabbed their weapons. But then, they relaxed. It wasn't the enemy they expected that the city was besieging again. The place where there was a riot was inside the city walls.
Although it was unknown what was going on in the road, the soldiers were rarely curious to look under the walls. They were already the last soldiers of Fort Chellon, and it was impossible for them to have any more allies to take their place; Other than that, they didn't care about anything that was going on inside the walls - the soldiers' only consciousness now was to fend off the enemy outside the city with everything they had.
However, to their surprise, the riot at the base of the city wall actually evolved more and more, and gradually spread to the city wall. At this moment, the soldiers defending the city, who had lifeless eyes, all had a trace of confusion in their eyes, and then they began to check the situation one after another.
When they poked their heads out of the city walls and glanced down. Unbelievable thoughts suddenly crossed my mind. The source of the riots was actually heavily armed. A man who looks like a soldier climbing up to the wall!
How so? Aren't we already the last soldiers of Fort Chryone? All the soldiers who were still fighting on the city walls clearly knew that there were no more troops in Fort Chellon at this time. Now among the defenders on the city wall, there are the original city guards, the palace guards, and even the private guards of nobles and ministers.
After three days of fighting, there was no good thing about rotating in batches. The various troops had already suffered heavy losses, and only the soldiers who had been on the walls of the city were left to belong to different units.
Even the palace guards and the nobles' private army have lost a lot, and they have to be mixed with the general city guards to defend, where did these soldiers who are coming to the city wall come from?
With a confused mood, the soldiers stood up and prepared to welcome these sudden reinforcements. Wherever this is a soldier, it's a good thing for them. With more strength, it will be easier to defend by a point.
But as the new soldiers scattered across the city, their identities were finally revealed. Cries of confusion or shock suddenly rang out on the city walls.
"Father? How did you come here? "Brother! Who let you come here! Come home for me, it's too dangerous here! "Elena?! Why do you look like this? ”“……”
The soldiers on the city wall were shocked to find that these "reinforcements" who suddenly appeared were actually people they knew. Some found their fathers, some saw their brothers, and even some women were among the "soldiers" who came to their aid.
Most of the people who recognized each other hugged each other tightly. In the midst of this war, they thought they would never see each other again. And more of the "soldiers" who came to help had a gloomy look. The man they wanted to see again had been sacrificed.
After a burst of excitement, the people who had been guarding the city wall asked how their relatives or friends came here dressed as soldiers. The answer was to silence them one by one.
Their loved ones, or their friends, were not forced to fight on the walls as they thought. In Chellon Castle, His Majesty the King personally made a mobilization and put the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species in front of the citizens.
After the mobilization of His Majesty the King, many people, especially those who knew people who were defending the city, chose to participate in the battle themselves.
The king set up an armament department in the center of the city, and distributed armor and weapons to all who wished to go into battle. In normal times, things like full-body armor are regulated. But none of this matters now, and it's good to be able to have a little more combat power.
The original soldiers defending the city all sighed and remained silent. The reason why they fought so hard and did not flinch in the face of death that could come at any time was to protect these loved ones or friends who are now on the city walls.
Now, these people they want to protect have also come to their side to face death together, which makes them feel uneasy, but they feel great relief in their hearts. Even if you die, you can die next to the people you care about, and you're happy, right?
The hand holding the weapon had increased its strength, and the soldiers had never been so eager to push the enemy back as they were now.
While all of the above was happening on the city walls, the royal palace of Fort Kailong was not at peace. King Skagen, dressed in royal robes, anxiously walked around a door at the top of the mage's tower.
King Skagen had just mobilized the citizens of Fort Chellon and activated the most powerful force that could be unleashed, and he knew that there was no more power in Fort Chellon now. Now all we can count on is the worship mage inside the door.
Don't get me wrong, although the Worship Mage who can enter the Legendary level is powerful, even with the help of the Mage Tower, it is still difficult to turn the tide in a war of this scale. What King Skagen was looking forward to was the magical communication that the mages could bring.
Finally, with a "squeak", the door opened. Pacing back and forth, King Skagen stared closely at an old magician who had stepped out of the room, his eyes full of anticipation and inquiry.
Not disappointing him, the old magician nodded slowly. King Skagen was overjoyed and let out a low cry of excitement.
It can't be blamed that the lord of a country doesn't pay attention to his image, but during this time, he has been under too much pressure. As a king who still loves his people, the news that every city in the kingdom has fallen and been slaughtered has added a wound to his heart. And the endless enemies outside Fort Chiron made him feel even more desperate.
Now, at last, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, how can he not be excited?
Without hesitation, King Skagen quickly entered another room inside the Magic Tower with the old enshrined mage. It didn't take long for the King's voice to spread throughout the castle of Chellon with the help of the Wizard's Tower's constant mega-amplification technique.
"My people, it's been three days. We have held out for three days in the face of those terrible undead. The soldiers on the city walls have gradually lost the strength to take up arms, and even I, the king, have begun to despair. ”
King Skagen said these words in a deep voice, and the hearts of everyone in Chellon Castle sank. Could it be that His Majesty the King is going to give up resistance? It's impossible, Your Majesty has just mobilized the citizens to participate in the battle, and even if you give up resisting those undead, you will slaughter the city!
The king's words continued: "But now I want to tell you that there is a light of day! Fort Chellon, and indeed our entire kingdom of Skagen, have been saved! Andre Great. The mage had just contacted the forces of the Night Empire through a magical teleportation, and they were only half a day's way away from Fort Chiron! ”
"That's right, reinforcements from the Night Empire are coming! Hold on, only need to hold on for another half a day, the army of the Night Empire has arrived, the undead outside the city are not to worry, we are about to be rescued! ”
The entire castle fell silent, followed by cheers from everywhere. In the darkness of the fingers, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a glimmer of light.
The Night Empire is so powerful that almost all humans know it. Since the elven reinforcements are coming, it means that the danger is about to be gone! Half a day, just hold on for another half a day! On the city walls, both the original soldiers and the later militia have once again strengthened their will to fight.
In the mage tower, King Skahn was not idle, and put the remaining magic crystals in the kingdom into the magic circle, so that the enshrined mages could guide the magic to strengthen the city walls. In order to save magic crystals before, he was reluctant to use the super-large amplification technique on the mage tower when he mobilized. (To be continued......)
