"Okay! All down, all down! Yorick waved off the soldiers, walked down the barricade with the others, and ran towards the city gate with Couppen and the others.

After only running a dozen meters, a loud bang came from behind them. Yorick glanced back, a large amount of barricade wreckage had been thrown into the air, and he was glad that he had evacuated, otherwise the power of this explosion alone would have been enough to allow him to ascend to heaven.

"Hurry up! Let's go! ”

Not long after the explosion, the black-robed monsters came to the abandoned position. One of the weirdos spewed lilac pus out of his arm, and upon touching the ground, a clear burst of purple footprints appeared. He observed, turned back to the leader and said, "Eisens, those remnants of the army have run in the direction of the city gate, it seems that they should be planning to run north, should we pursue?" ”

"Hmph~! No, we're wasting too much time on them. They can't go far, even if they are out of town, it doesn't matter, our colleagues in the north will help us deal with them! Now, our first goal is to reinforce the believers besieging the Lord's Mansion! Let's go! ”

The black-robed people around nodded in unison, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with a large number of infected people and the remaining dozen or so trolls.

By the time Yorick and his party reached the city gate, it had already become the Shura Purgatory, and a large group of infected people were constantly trying to approach a camp in front of the city gate. Several black-robed monsters stood on a high platform in the distance, constantly directing the infected to attack continuously.

"What now?! There are those monsters here, too! Couppen looked at the blackened infected in the distance, and turned to look at Yorick.

Yorick looked at the battlefield, and the situation was terrible, not only under the walls, but also under the walls. A large number of infected people crawled on their twisted limbs, making it impossible for the soldiers on the walls to support the battle below. And the barracks at the gate of the city, although much stronger than the barricades they had built before, could not last long. There were more and more dead bodies around, most of them infected, and some of them were unlucky soldiers who had been taken out of the barricades.

"It's not too bad... Yorick muttered to himself, then turned his head and whispered to Cooppone, "Those black-clad monsters must be trying to take the gates and seal them off completely. Then we're done! Gotta strike first and take out those monsters in black! Without their command, the infected patients are easy to deal with. ”

"Okay... It seems that they haven't noticed us yet ... So what to do? Do you want to kill it directly? Kuppen leaned against the wall and looked at the black-robed man not far away, "But the distance is a bit far, and they are on a high platform, so it is not easy to fight, in case they can't be killed quickly, once they command the Infected Lord to attack us." ”

"This..." Yorick was lost in thought, his plan was indeed a bit risky, and there was no second chance, and if it failed, the entire fleeing team would be in danger of being wiped out.

"Sir!" Vasilis walked over to Yorik and pointed to an abandoned steam cannon in the distance. It was surrounded by several shredded corpses, as well as several alchemical shells that rolled to the ground. It appears that the escort team was attacked, preventing it from reaching the barracks.

"Well done, kid..." Yorik patted Vasilis on the shoulder, then thought about the plan, and said, "But we don't have time to move it, so we can only fire on the spot." Once we fail, at that distance, we can't escape. ”

"Let's do it! Sir, there's no other way! We've made it all the way, and we can't just give up! Vasilis persuaded.

Kuppen also nodded, and said approvingly: "That's right, even if you turn around now, you will still encounter those monsters." At least give them a hard slap in the face! ”

Yorick didn't say anything, but continued to observe the situation on the battlefield, and after finding that the barracks and walls were becoming more and more difficult to support, he could only speak: "Okay! Give them a damn blow! ”

With his head bowed and his waist bent, Yorik led the trio of Yulo and Vasilis, carrying a small steam generator, and stepped over the bumpy road, gradually approaching the abandoned steam cannon.

Yolo wiped the sweat from his bangs with his hands, shivered and opened the steam valve, and then Yorick reloaded the blast chamber with exploding shells, and after closing the chamber and closing the safety valve, Vasilis behind him pulled out the inflator and connected it to the steam cannon.

Yorick breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let the two recruits lie down behind the cannon, and he carried his gun and moved to the front of the bunker, revealing half of his head, watching the movement of the black-robed people in the distance.

Those black-robed monsters were similar to the ones they had encountered before, the only big difference was the strange man who controlled the infected this time, and the instrument he used was a large drum. The drum seemed to have many faces that had been peeled off alive, and as the strange man struck, the drum continued to vibrate, even making Yorick feel that those faces were still moving. Looking at the drum hammer again, it was clearly a human head stuck in a bone! What frightened Yorick was that the head was still alive! The weirdo took it and struck him every time the head opened its mouth and roared.

Due to the use of small steam generators, the rate of inflation was somewhat slow, and the situation of the forts and walls became more and more critical while waiting for the inflation to be completed. Especially on the city wall, many soldiers have already run out of ammunition, and many soldiers can only desperately start a white-knuckle battle with the infected who keep climbing the wall. These soldiers were all newly trained recruits, did not arrange much hand-to-hand combat training, and lacked weapons and armor, and fought in such an environment very badly, and soon lost nearly a third of their manpower, and even the defensive area was divided and surrounded.

The barracks at the gates of the city were not much better, the soldiers kept shooting outwards, but the number of kills could not keep up with the number of enemy reinforcements, and more and more corpses were lying around the barracks, so that the infected people could step on the corpses and climb higher and higher. A small number of infected people had already jumped over the fence and rushed into the barracks, but fortunately, the soldiers inside fought back desperately and did not let the barracks fall.

"Alright?!" Yorick turned around and urged, "They can't hold on!" ”

"No~Chief Yorick~! This inflation rate is too slow, only about half of the charge. Yulo looked at the valve gauge on the cannon body and replied with a bitter face.

"What?! Only half?! After this, we may not even be able to collect their bodies... Yorick hammered the ground with his hand.

"Sir! Let's fire, we're loaded with exploding shells, and we don't rely on the impulse of steam, and at this distance, this is enough gas for us to fire. Vasilis spoke.

"Are you sure? Boy, we only have this one chance, and if we fail, not only will we not be able to help them, but we will have to catch it ourselves. Yorik touched Vasilis' side and asked quietly.

"I can't guarantee it, but I've heard Uncle Carlson say it before. But that was more than a month ago, please.,I.。。 I'm not sure I can. Vasilis shook his head.

Yorick was a little apprehensive, at the current rate, by the time he was finished, those monsters would have killed all the soldiers in the distance, and they might have been spotted by then, so his choice was really only to run and fire.

"Hit! No way! Yorick gritted his teeth, and then he fine-tuned the muzzle of the cannon again, aiming at the black-clad monsters on the high platform.

"Bang!" The cannon fired, much softer than Yorick had heard before.

"Boom !!" The cannonball successfully hit the target, and the shell shell, carefully crafted by a professional alchemist, exploded in the black-robed man. The drummer in the middle was immediately torn apart by shrapnel, as was the big drum he was holding high in all four hands. The strange man next to him could not escape the result of being destroyed by the cannonballs, and after the shelling, there were no living people standing on the entire high platform.

The infected people, who were besieging the soldiers all around, immediately stopped their attack, gasped and fell to the ground, like seriously ill patients, except for low wailing, they didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Whew... Looks like it's solved. Yorick wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the entire cuff was soaked.

Kupong, who was hiding behind the three and quietly observing, couldn't help but applaud loudly, and then he waved his hand and ordered the remnants of the gathered soldiers to go forward to meet the three of them. After the temporary remnants of the defeated squad were assembled, a non-commissioned officer and several guards also came out of the barracks.

"Thank you! If we didn't do it, we would be finished! Thank you! Thank you so much! The young man, with the extra bandages on his face and body, reached out and grabbed Yorick's arm, thanking him constantly.

After thanking him, the young man looked behind Yorick and after roughly estimating the number of soldiers behind him, he frowned and said, "That's all you guys?" What about the other reinforcements? ”

Yorick glanced at the medallion on the other party's shoulder and the coat of arms on the neckline, and then deduced whether he was a member of the city guard, or a blood confidant of the city lord. After withdrawing his hand, he apologized, "I'm sorry, we're not reinforcements, we're just a broken army, and besides, there's only so many of us. ”

"What!" The young man was immediately furious, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when a female voice came from behind him:

"Are you Mr. Yorick?"

Yorick looked intently, and was slightly surprised that the person who came was the female alchemist Kaye whom he had guarded before. There were also several bloodied mercenaries behind her, which made Yorick understand why the camp had lasted so long. I am afraid that it is because of the hard work of many elite-level mercenaries that the city gate has not been breached.

"See you again, Lord Kaye!" Yorick bowed his head and bowed, "I didn't expect to meet again, I originally thought that after the fall of the business district, you were also killed, it seems that the God of Light still favors you." ”

"What's going on?! The business district has fallen! The young man asked aloud, "How is this possible?!" Didn't Junying go out?! ”
