Note: Both this side quest and the main quest end at the end of the Northern Campaign.

"Here we go." Faced with the information revealed by the so-called side quest, Hua Feng was not too surprised, but just said to himself, "After all, the number of rabble against the rabble is the key to victory or defeat." ”

The city wall has been lost, the moment the awakened arrived at the city wall, the city wall was declared lost, the bow and arrow can block a large number of demons, but can not stop the individual powerful awakened, the preparation of the big sword can rely on the location to kill the demons, but can not kill the awakened who kick the city wall as if walking on the ground.

Therefore, the loss of the city walls became so natural. At the first moment of the Awakened's appearance, Greatsword had already ordered the archers to leave the walls, leaving only the reserves to stall, and then by the time the Awakened ascended the walls, the reserve greatswords that were still on the walls were slaughtered almost instantly, even if they had the right response.

The Awakened who rushed to the city wall first were not the strongest, but they were definitely not an opponent that a group of reserves who could not yet manipulate the demonic qi could deal with, not to mention that their commanders were not incompetent, giving full play to their advantages and exerting their inhuman bodies to the limit.

The winged Awoken swooped down from the sky to take the enemies on the walls, their tentacles spreading along the walls, dragging those who held it into hell, or relying on their physical strength to throw them directly into the city, or relying on their agility to easily cross the walls.

Under such an offensive, the city walls naturally could not be held. And the next moment when the city wall is lost, like a broken embankment, demons flood into the city, flood everything, and start an unbridled feast.

It was supposed to be like this, at least in the minds of the demons, but when they poured into the city, they found that it was already empty, even the archers who had captured many of their companions with arrows were gone, and the empty city exuded an ominous aura.

It's a pity that they can't detect such an aura with their intelligence, so with the anger of eating failure, the demon tide surges more rapidly, and the awakened may rely on their own strength, or maybe they rely on the large number of cannon fodder around, or they may also rush into the city because of orders.

Fire, a huge flame in an instant, dipped the entire city red, like a blooming red lotus.

It's not just one direction, after the fall of the city walls, flames erupted in the demon-occupied areas of the city, there is no doubt that this is a trap set by the great swordsmen, and in the face of endless demons, it is a natural choice to use endless natural power to destroy.

However, such flames are only useful for ordinary demons, and for those powerful beings, it is just a distraction, a distraction that can be ignored.

"Flutter!" The neck was cut off, and an awakened person who looked like a toad fell weakly, even if it had a strong vitality, it was unlikely that it would still be alive when its head was cut off, and a figure quickly flashed by him. All you can see is a large cloak wrapped around her body.

The swords freely shuttled through the flames through the passages they had dug and constructed before, and by relying on the cloaks they wore on their bodies, they minimized the damage of the flames, allowing the flames and smoke to be the best cover, and they could kill the Awakened with their own strength.

By giving up the advantage of the city wall and the city, the greatsword gained the strongest defense against the demons and the real advantage of fighting the Awakened, showing Galadia's extraordinary vision between one loss and one gain.

But the opponent was no brainless like the demons, and after discovering that some streets were vulnerable to greatsword attacks, they changed their course of progress, choosing some roads that were rigidly restricted by walls, and the dense number of fallen houses blocked everything, and the greatswords could not pass through the gaps that were too narrow.

Thinking they had found the right path, the Awoken concentrated on those paths and then filled them up with the best targets.

Shout! The sound of the air being torn apart rang out one after another, and something thick pierced the sky and galloped in, the sharp head breaking through the hard carapace of the Awoken, and then the powerful force shattered the muscles and bones of the Awoken, inflicting heavy damage on the other party in an instant.

It is true that bows and arrows are ineffective for the Awakened, and even with the help of the height of the city wall, it is difficult to penetrate the skin of the Awakened, but the war weapons created by humans are not only bows and arrows, in the long history of human warfare, the long-range weapons they really rely on are crossbows.

A light ballista is a good weapon against cavalry, and a heavy ballista is a weapon for defending the city, and what appears at this moment is undoubtedly a heavy ballista, a heavy ballista pulled out of the dusty history.

Although they are just some backward single-shot crossbows, they will definitely not be able to hit the Awakened in normal times, but at this moment, when the Awakened have chosen the narrow path, these old antiques play a powerful role.

Reserve Greatsword is a group of five, controlling a ballista, two are responsible for adjusting the horizontal direction of the ballista, one is responsible for aiming and shooting, and the other two are responsible for loading and winding arrows, which exceeds the physical fitness of humans, so that they can manipulate the ballista to shoot at a speed beyond the norm, bringing great damage to the awakened.

"Looks like the swords aren't that stupid." Standing on the wall and watching his men fall, the handsome man did not show any anger, but praised the greatsword's response in a flat tone.

"But even if it's scrap, it should be abandoned in the abandoned place, so let's end this boring foreplay."

As the order was given, several figures around the handsome man suddenly disappeared, and the walls under their feet shattered in that instant, and the force of the explosion propelled them into the battlefield, unlike those demons who were besieging from all sides, they only attacked from the north.

Poof! The claws pierced through her chest, and she couldn't believe that she had died so easily by hanging greatsword, and there were several other corpses beside her, all of them were torn apart greatswords.

And in the south of the city, the situation of the battle has also changed, and in the city surrounded by flames, powerful demons, abnormal appetites, as the great swords call them, have also entered the battlefield.

Most of them didn't look like ordinary demons, but being able to appear inside the city through the flames without damage at this moment was enough to show their difference, so the great swords noticed these unusual enemies at the first time, but unfortunately such attention had no effect.

Because of the number, the number is too much, although it can't reach the number of ordinary demons, but it still has an absolute advantage over the awakened.

What's more, they have a greater advantage than the Awakened, their cooperation is very orderly, and it is not the kind of cooperation of the squad, it is the cooperation of the army, giving full play to their numerical advantages, concentrating on the avenue to advance, and at the same time, the division of labor is clear, and they easily repelled the sneak attack of the big swords.

If the Awakened are good at solo combat, perhaps taking into account a little squad combat, while the Greatsword is proficient in squad combat, taking into account both heads-up and a small army battle, then the Abnormal Appetite is proficient in army combat, taking into account both squad and heads-up existence.

For now, this place is a battlefield, the home of the undoubted anomalous appetites, and now we can only rejoice that Galadia has set fire to the outer city before, making it difficult for the brigade to advance and limiting the attacks of the anomalous appetites, but this resistance will not last long, after all, they are not human armies.

"South." Hua Feng muttered to himself, and the figure had disappeared.
