String Moon, Zenda.

The battle in the distance continued, but at this time, Chanda seemed to be unusually empty, and there were hardly any old and weak women and children in the whole city, and most of the people who remained were adult men. Dressed in rudimentary equipment, they served as militia to assist the army in defending the city.

It's their choice, and if they're willing to stay until the end before leaving, then their family can leave first to reach safety.

This is a man's burden.

From the matrilineal society to the patrilineal society, men must take on more responsibilities and obligations, and the vast majority of men will choose to take more risks for their families in the face of disasters. Everyone knows that staying can lead to death in battle, but they must make a choice in the face of disaster.

"Lord Stephen!"

"There are too many monsters! The north side is a little unbearable!" a dark wizard figure flew in from a distance.

He looked quite embarrassed at the moment, and the palm of his right hand seemed to have been bitten off by something. The army of monsters that ran amok under the power of the Death Omen Star put them under great pressure, and even the dark wizards who were extremely good at fighting were terrified. Some of the physical damage is a little better, the dark wizard itself has some abilities to use flesh essence, and they can find a way to recover it in the future, but if it doesn't work, they can also transform into lich form. However, among the evil creatures controlled by the Death Omen Star are the Soul Reager, the Devourer, the Worm Devourer, etc., all of which can bind the soul after killing the enemy, and the dark wizards are also quite dangerous to face them!

"Your Excellency the Witch of Winter. ”

"You go and support the northern defenses. Fight for another hour and a half. Stephen was suspended in mid-air with a blank face, looking like a statue, but the telepathy rang directly in the minds of the others.

His perceptual field slowly spread.

After a lot of data calculations, Stephen continued to telepathize, "Inform the rest of the army to start retreating. ”

"Demigods as cover!"

"It's time for the Quetzalcoatl gods to come out!"

Stephen has always had a poor sense of the Chanda Council, as many of them have targeted him and the Void Master, and his position is similar to that of the Arondo-Shepherd, who thinks that the members of the Chanda Council are too conservative and incompetent. However, in this period of disaster, Stephen couldn't help but look up at what the Chanda Council did, because almost none of these council members asked to go first, and even the Stoneheart Dwarf Chief, who had always been hostile and distrustful of him, took the dwarven defenders to the front line of the battlefield to support. Stephen must admit that he is only thinking differently from them, and that these people are worthy of the name of the heroes of the Dark Years.

Poda Oasis.

This once beautiful oasis city has now been transformed into a Shura field, and the corpses of demon insects are almost everywhere as far as the eye can see, and the mountain of corpses piled up at the location of the city wall is nearly ten meters high, forming a slope that allows the demon insects to rush directly onto the city wall. More than half of the defenders in the city had already been killed, and if it weren't for the blood druids coming to their aid, they would have been completely routed in the fifth wave of the offensive.

"Lord Alendor!"

"Our people are running out of their way. A druid dressed as a scholar gasped violently, his body covered in a layer of bark, his messy hair and beard like tree roots, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, but because his constitution had become as tough as an old tree, these injuries were not fatal for the time being.

Obviously.

In order to make some choices against the Death Omen Star Arondo - the Tree Shepherd, he led his followers to give up something that belonged to a human and transformed his body into a special form of a half-treeman. This transformation will inevitably come at a cost, as if a wizard had transformed into a lich form, and the Blood Druid had paid some irreversible and heavy costs. Stephen had known about this for a long time, but the rest of Zenda didn't know about it, and he had been leading his followers to wander around the fringes of Zenda power for a long time because of the council's own rejection of the extreme ideas of the Arondo-Shepherd.

There is no doubt that Arondo Shepherd is a true hero!

Even so, he did not give up, but chose his own path, and when Chanda encountered a crisis, he resolutely rushed to the aid with the blood of other people's druids.

Although the druids in their tree form have strong survivability and do not have many lethal hazards themselves, their numbers are still too small. Because the natural environment of the Moonmoon has collapsed, the Arondo Shepherd is not able to give much of the Druid enlightenment, although he discovered the spirit of nature that was distorted after the death of the Moon, and gained great power from it to advance to the high-level legendary druid, but the natural environment is not enough to help him more. The druid profession has an innate need for the natural world, and there are only so many blood druids that have been able to transform so far.

"I see. ”

"Let them hold on a little longer!Stop these monsters at all costs!" "Alendor-The Tree Shepherd was wrapped in blood-red thorns, looking like a moving thorn treeman, because he had absorbed too much of the flesh and blood essence of the monsters, all the blood druids were polluted to varying degrees, and some of the druids who were not strong enough had been disturbed by the crazy power of the Death Omen Star, and turned into monsters full of killing and destruction.

This is the price they have to bear!

The flesh and blood of monsters are filled with insane power, and they can draw on that power but may not be able to fully harness it.

The other side.

The dwarven defenders' front has become sparse, and the entire battlefield has become a terrifying meat grinder, and even the dwarven defenders, who are known for their rock-solid strength, have fallen one after another in the face of the overwhelming numerical sea of demon worms. Now covering the flank defense line is a corpse grave demon, this powerful undead creature is indeed blessed on the battlefield, if it were not for its flank raid to block the sea of demon insects, I am afraid that the dwarf defenders would have been wiped out in the front and rear attacks. But now the dark wizards' mana is also seriously consumed, and the wizards themselves are not good at protracted warfare, and the best at protracted warfare among all professions is the priest, because they can wear armor to fight and have good hand-to-hand combat ability, and they can also recover healing and cast a wide range of magic spells. But it's a pity that neither the moon nor Motela currently has gods enough to bestow divine magic, so naturally there are no priests.

Thundered!

With the tremor of the earth, the huge sea of demon insects launched an offensive again, and as the low-level demon insects were gradually consumed, the monsters that were now pouring up had become more and more powerful.

They're draining Zenda's power with cannon fodder!

At first, almost all of them were demon insects, which were once the monsters that had been dominated by the fallen Zela Ant Queen, but now as the casualties of the swarm gradually increased, some evil creatures that were once created by the Death Omen Star also began to appear.

Soul Reaver, Heartbreaker, Mother of Worms, Shadow Assassin, Flesh Eater......

Many of these terrifying creatures came from deep underground, and they were transformed by the energy pools of the earth's core, and now they were sent into battle as the strongest force to crush the Zenda defenses.
