Chapter 1242: Evacuation of the Far North Harbor

The Kingdom of Eternal Winter, Far North Harbor.

"Don't push!

"Throw away your luggage, don't bring it on board! The King of the Grey Keep will give you enough food and clothing to throw them into the water if you want to live!"

"Women and children come first!"

The port area was crowded with people, and a large number of refugees flocked to the ships that were raising their sails, and if it weren't for the First Army and the Lord's Guard using swords to maintain order, I was afraid that those narrow trestle bridges would instantly turn into a hellish road for the weak and the strong.

"Captain, this ship...... I'm afraid it's not enough. The soldier in charge of the guard looked back worriedly as a ship full of refugees slowly left the harbor.

"If you dare to come to the Far North Harbor at this time, you can already be regarded as a good man," Uncle Sang's gaze never left the front of the gun—in just three or four days, the red mist had spread from the top of the desperate situation, pressing on the skyline like thick blood, which made people feel so depressed.

"Boss...... You'll give us a seat, won't you?" muttered the man.

"If it's a nail," Uncle Sang smiled, "even if you don't get on the boat, you'll make a hole for us." ”

More than half a month ago, they received a transfer order to leave the Hermes plateau and go to the northernmost city of Yongdong to take charge of the transfer of migrants. Compared with guarding the Holy City, Nail seemed much more relaxed after receiving the new order, and talked a lot more along the way, and started work as soon as he arrived at the Far North Port.

Their 100 or so were not the first Grey Castle to arrive at Eternal Winter, and many more of their comrades had already traveled to various parts of the kingdom to evacuate the inhabitants there. At first, the evacuation did not go well, and it was not until the appearance of the Red Moon that the situation improved, thanks to the rumors that the Red Moon represented the end of the world spread among the towns earlier, so when the Blood Red Moon did appear in the sky, many locals were frightened and went directly to the army station to ask to leave.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

Only four or five days later, the news of the discovery of the red mist came from ahead.

Then, within that day, the First Army was engaged with the devil.

They did not know the outcome of the outcome, but as a result, all the vanguard squads began to retreat south, and the nail detachment received orders to prepare to retreat to the next port.

However, in the past few days, the number of refugees has increased several times, and tens of thousands of people come to the Far North Port every day, begging the sea ships to take them with them. Unable to sit idly by, Nail built a simple line of defense on the spot, and at the same time informed the large forces in the rear through flying messengers asking for more ships, which delayed the evacuation plan for several more days.

But Uncle Sang knew that once the news spread, there would be fewer and fewer ships that dared to sail north—these fjord merchant ships with His Majesty's commission would never sacrifice their lives, and they might leave the harbor with their might, but they would never arrive...... At the current rate, this should be the last batch.

Fortunately, the nails should also know this, so they planted explosives early in the morning, one is to resist the enemy when necessary, and the other is to destroy the equipment that cannot be taken away, so as not to fall into the hands of the devil.

"Captain, there's smoke rising ahead!" someone shouted.

"Are you here again......" Uncle Sang spat out, "Everyone is in place!"

In the absence of sufficient manpower and witch scouting, the ancient method of communication once again came into play.

This is not the first time that the devil has visited Far North Harbor, and there are still several devil corpses lying in the field outside the town, and according to the manual distributed above, they are almost the madman. Although the enemies are sparse and of low grade, it also means that they have indeed appeared in the land of the Eternal Winter Kingdom, and are getting closer and closer as the red mist spreads.

As a unit that has been stationed in Hermes since the Battle of Coldwind Ridge, the Nail Detachment has not participated in the expedition to Tachira, although Uncle Sang has heard a lot of rumors, but this is the first time he has actually fought the devil. And these days he has come to the conclusion that as long as you don't put the mad demons within two hundred meters, they are better to deal with than the Divine Punishment Warriors of the Church.

Therefore, he was not too worried about the wolf smoke rising in front of him, on the contrary, he was quite concerned about Nail's next decision. There is no doubt that with the two large ships left, it is unlikely that all the refugees will be taken away from the area. What are the leaders going to do with the rest of them? Are they left to fend for themselves, or are they going to flee south along the coastline?

At this moment, the first figure of the madman appeared outside the barbed wire fence of the block.

Uncle Sang couldn't help frowning.

Far North, like most harbor towns, had no walls, so the defensive line was set up on the dock road, and the rest of the inhabitants were long emptied except for the refugees, so it was not surprising that the devil would be drawn in. To his surprise, the sentinels in charge of reconnaissance were still nowhere to be seen, and it was theorized that they would have withdrawn after lighting the beacon smoke, and should have returned to the line of defense faster than the enemy.

Gradually, more madmen emerged from the corner and surged towards the docks.

"Fire!"

Two machine-gun squads simultaneously spat tongues of fire at the end of the street, raining down a dense rain of bullets on the enemy. The opponent reacted very quickly, and immediately used the surrounding buildings as a hiding place. When the smoke cleared, only two bodies were left hanging from the barbed wire.

Soon, gunshots rang out on the rooftops as well.

Apparently, the enemy, who tried to go around from overhead, ran into the long-awaited sniper squad.

This was exactly how the detachment defended the harbor - considering that the view of the town was far less open than that of the suburbs, the most he had done this week had been to set up barricades, whether it was dumping garbage or demolishing houses on the spot, and nine out of ten alleys leading to the dock had been blocked, and one was an entire street. These obstacles could not prevent the enemy from moving, but they could effectively delay time - if the enemy did not want to waste time clearing and climbing over the barricades, he would have to break through the main road blocked by machine guns head-on.

Then it entered the grappling phase of the enemy appearing, suppressing the fire, and continuing to find cover. This should be a small number of enemy troops, and according to the current inference, it is unlikely that they will rush to the front line and throw spears, and they should choose to retreat at this time. But the devil was still obsessively hiding, as if trying to drain the First Army's ammunition.

In terms of combat perseverance, this enemy squad is much more tenacious than it appeared the other day...... It's like having seen a battle full of bullets.

Uncle Sang sneered, if the Divine Punishment Army would make this move, then they would really be a little unbearable. It's a pity that the equipment of the First Army is much more abundant now, and their hundred-man detachment alone is equipped with four Mark-1 types, and it is not difficult to fight ammunition for a day. If you continue to entangle, sooner or later the enemy will die here.

However, this is when the mutation suddenly happened!

He heard a loud bang, and a huge thing in armor smashed through the stone walls and climbed out of the ruins on the side of the dock that had been a house.

"Spider Demon?" the soldier said in surprise.

"Prepare anti-devil grenades!"

Uncle Sang's heart sank suddenly, the manual did mention a kind of devil similar to a spider, but from the appearance, the one that appeared in their eyes was different from the previous enemy.

The black stone wrapped around its limbs was much thicker, almost blocking most of its body. 8)
