Chapter 123: Helpless in the middle of the night
The fire under the city walls, which has not yet been burned, still tells of the previous tragedy.
And the tide of beasts surging in the darkness finally swallowed all the crossbowmen, and approached the ruined city wall that was still standing.
As Su Mu had judged before, the ruler of the beast tide was not among the beast tide.
Even it hadn't given some kind of clear enough instructions to the beast tide in front of it.
Therefore, the only purpose of the entire beast tide is to constantly advance forward, but as for the method and speed of the breakthrough, they are all categories that can be rewritten by other forces.
"Although they have killed all the crossbowmen, they still have fear of the terrible cost of the previous siege, even the delusional beasts in the beast tide. ”
Winster, who had already lifted his bestial transformation, did not wipe the blood stains off his face.
It seems that this is the only way to make him remember the threat from the herd more clearly.
But after hearing this, Su Tong undoubtedly held the opposite attitude:
"It's not fear, it's observation, even if those delusional monsters with low intelligence will indeed be deterred by the previous counterattack, but there are still many delusional demons in the beast tide who are as intelligent as humans. I don't think that such a deceitful thing as a delusion would not be able to see through our current exhausted situation. ”
The exhaustion in Su Tong's mouth is actually the main color of the entire Kabat Fortress.
Whether it is Su Mu, who fled thousands of miles away, or Winster after the vicious battle of beastification, or even the soldiers of the Storm Legion who guarded every post on the city wall.
Under the pressure of the vast beast tide, and after a series of fierce battles, although everyone's bodies were given a short rest, their spirits were always in a state of high alert.
If the beast tide strikes again at this time, I am afraid that it will be several times more difficult to repel them again than the fierce battle before nightfall.
The only hope for the entire Kabat Fortress now is reinforcements that are expected to arrive in the middle of the night.
......
But hope for this kind of thing, sometimes like an ethereal phantom.
Even if everyone knows in their hearts, as time passes, the moment of hope will be closer and closer.
However, as the fire under the walls gradually extinguished, every minute and second of waiting in the darkness was a painful ordeal for all those who had hope.
And in the midst of this torment, a certain situation that even Winster is extremely puzzled by is so obvious in the eyes of everyone:
"The scout team of reinforcements hasn't arrived yet?"
Winster's expression still showed a slight doubt after all.
At this moment, the bright frost moon was already hanging high in the middle of the sky, silently looking down at the ruined fortress in the center of the earth.
In the middle of the night, it has now come.
But the reinforcements that everyone was looking forward to still did not appear.
Even the scout detachment, which was supposed to arrive first, was nowhere to be seen at this time.
"Other garrison points, no message for help?"
From Winster's expression, Su Mu immediately sensed the strangeness in front of him, and almost immediately, he raised the possibility of being shocked.
However, for Su Mu's question, Winster's expression became more and more complicated:
"The wolf smoke rose before you came to the Kabat Fortress, and I also sent three batches of soldiers for help, either way, it is guaranteed that the rest of the garrison will be able to pay attention. ”
When Winster said this, the remaining hope in his eyes finally gradually degenerated into deep despair.
And a certain emotion called anger jumped in his eyes:
"The commander of this area of the Storm Troop is a mediocre person who relies on nepotism, so he was sent to this place where war is least likely to occur. ”
"But I can't imagine that a commander with thousands of fighters doesn't even have the courage to rescue his comrades. Directly give up the dying and struggling comrades in the vicious battle against the beast tide. ”
"To put it simply, the supreme military commander in this area seems to have given us up directly...... Because of his foolish fear, we were abandoned at the forefront of the resistance to the beast tide!"
......
As Winster gritted his teeth, he uttered the most desperate judgment.
On the scarred city walls, a certain emotion called pathos spread to the hearts of every soldier in an instant.
"You're right, and with your pre-planned planning, we're able to put it off until the middle of the night. If reinforcements do arrive, not only will we be able to keep the Beast Tide out of the Federation, but we will also be able to survive the Beast Tide. ”
Winster looked at Su Tong silently, expressing his approval of this plan with imagination.
But this recognition in a desperate situation seems so pale at this time.
Without reinforcements, there is no possibility of survival.
And there is no possibility of living, whether it is a noble status like the Longtuo royal family, or a noble soul like a general like Ruoshu, in fact, they will be buried for the stupidity of a certain commander.
"With or without reinforcements, my duty is to defend against all invasions outside the Kabat Fortress, so my warriors and I can only live and die with this fortress. ”
"There are still a few messenger horses in the barracks, so you can leave the fortress and head towards the interior of the Federation before you take advantage of the beast tide to attack again, so there is still a glimmer of hope that you will not be overtaken by the beast tide. ”
"This is already me and the Kabat fortress...... Finally, I can provide you with what I can offer!"
Winster's resolute tone was actually full of mortal will.
However, the last life he wanted to give to Su Mu and the four did not come true as he wished.
Because just as he finished speaking, the dark and surging beast tide had already struck again, sweeping overwhelmingly towards the Kabat Fortress, which was still standing proudly.
A huge tide of beasts instantly surrounded the Kabat fortress, and launched a tireless charge towards the city wall full of delusional beast corpses under it again and again.
Not to mention a very frightened horse at this moment, even a mid-level knight like Winster would never be able to leave the Kabat Fortress again.
The final fate of Su Mu and the four people was still locked in this fortress.
Like duckweed, it rises and falls in the tide of beasts.
However, at this moment, while everyone was in despair, an extremely strange and terrifying idea unstoppably drilled into Su Mu's mind:
"The Mark of the Gods! is always at the center of all the maelstrom!"
Everything that happened in front of him, was it the result of a patchwork of various coincidences, or was it simply an encounter that was deliberately arranged for Su Mu.
At this moment, in fact, even Su Mu himself didn't quite understand.
And the only thing Su Mu can be sure of is:
"If all this is really caused by the strange power like the protagonist's aura, then in the following time, this mysterious power will not disappear out of thin air. ”
"As long as there are more coincidences...... The seemingly desperate Kabat Fortress still has the possibility of surviving!"
