Chapter 13 Prologue (4) The soldiers are under the city
"Shoot!" Accompanied by a high-pitched female voice, countless arrows fell like a shower, covering the dense demons below, and the metal arrows became extremely sharp after a long falling acceleration, easily breaking through the demons' defenses, and nailing the demons to the ground little by little.
With the help of the city walls that have been eliminated only because of historical reasons, humans have become rare warriors who can fight demons, although this is really ironic, because the demon walls are useless, and humans tear down useless walls, and when the demons come, it is the city walls that save the lives of humans.
"The first row retreats, and the second row steps forward...... accompanied by the order, and the people in leather armor on the city wall completed the transposition in the noise, "Draw the bow, shoot!" β
Again, a rain of arrows fell from the walls and pinned to the demons.
"They're so bad that guys who have only trained a little bit can do better than them." A large sword with muscles on its body that looked incompatible with other big swords glanced at the city wall and said disdainfully.
"Wentiny, you can't ask too much of them, you must know that they were just a bunch of civilians a few days ago, not even Orion, and now they can draw their bows, I already think they are amazing, not to mention that they have been able to face the demons without missing shots."
Wentini, who was carrying two large swords, glanced at the opening greatsword, which was a woman with a ponytail on her back, and then saw Wendini roll her eyes.
"Belonica, of course they shot, but there are demons down there, not to mention them, even if you find a child to throw a stone at random, you can hit it."
The single-tailed greatsword frowned, and finally spoke: "Wentiny, isn't it because I won't let you go out to fight, why be angry with those civilians, you must know that they are fighting for survival." β
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, the muscular strong woman Wentini finally stopped complaining, although she was very unhappy with the current situation, but she was also a qualified fighter after all, at least she could tell the situation, just now it was just because there was nothing to do, and this depressing situation would be like this.
"I'll go to the walls and look for something to cut down."
"Hey, you've been on it for 12 hours, it's even more important to rest now, we still have a long time to hold on."
However, Wentini did not respond to Belonica, and without looking back, she walked up to the city wall, drove a hundred-figure greatsword, and took her place on the wall.
That's right, in addition to humans, there are also great swords fighting in this siege battle, or it is precisely because of these great swords that this siege can appear.
Indeed, the tall city walls are enough to block the attacks of a large number of demons, even if their physical abilities surpass those of humans, but most of them are not to the point where they can easily climb over the city walls, but this is only the majority, for the abnormal appetite and the awakened, the difference between the city wall and the ground is not large.
What's more, there are more essential reasons for human beings to abandon the city wall, demons are pervasive, there is no big sword, they have long been mixed into the city in the flow of people, a city with open gates, and a city without city walls, there is no difference in nature.
But even if this is the case, even if the human race and the great sword, which can almost be called a miracle, appear to join forces, there is no possibility of stopping it, as for the reason is very simple, quantity.
As Wentini said, there were so many demons gathered outside, so many that even a group of untrained civilians on the walls could make a fool of themselves.
And such a dense number of demons is not just under the city wall, but the entire plain, the originally white northern land, above the city wall, as far as the eye can see, is dyed black by the demons.
They weren't organized, they just roamed around so haphazardly, which was why they were so crowded in unimaginable formations, but even with such unorganized demons, they at least instinctively craved for food.
With this number of demons, even if there are almost all the big swords gathered in this city now, as well as 500 reserve swordsmen, once they fight head-to-head, there is no chance of winning at all, maybe the big swords still have the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement, but in addition to them, whether it is a reserve or a civilian, there is only one way to die.
And using the city wall to block the attack of the demons, maybe the humans who have a somewhat inflated morale because of the bow and arrow killing the demons now will think so, but no one in the greatsword will have such a naΓ―ve idea, because when they came here, they were ordered to stop the awakened under Isli from going south.
That's more than a hundred Awakened according to incomplete statistics, and these are all existences that have left their names among the warriors of the past, in other words, these hundreds of Awakened are the top 50 swords in their time, and any of them can fight any of the standard raiding teams in the current city.
Even if only a small part of them can attack the city, it is enough to involve the combat power of the great sword in the city.
And with the greatswords held back, the remaining awakened are enough to turn the city into hell, and now the city is just a cage, a cage waiting for a reprieve.
"I don't know what their expressions were like when they found out we couldn't hold it." Looking at the humans around her who had become confident because of illusions, Wentini rarely felt some emotion, but such emotion was immediately strangled to death by her heart, "Forget it, I will fight to the end no matter what." β
"What!"
Suddenly, there was an incredible scene in Wentini's eyes, just now, the demons were in chaos, not the same chaos as they have always been, after all, the demons don't seem to have any organization, and when they can't thirst for food, they tend to fight and throw an area into chaos, but other than that, the demons are indifferent.
But now the situation is different, the demons are not a small area in chaos, but an entire area of demons in chaos, they are swarming together, surging in a southwesterly direction.
"What's going on there?" Wendini frowned, although it seemed that the demon civil strife was good news at the moment, but the good news that seemed to be not necessarily good news, they hadn't seen any good news in the real sense since they came to the Northlands.
"Beware of the situation!" Wentini yelled, and a warning message rang.
"Is it Isli? No, it can't be ......" Denying the worst guess in his mind, Wentini forced himself to turn his attention to the unwanted ones, and the demonic commotion seemed to intensify even more.
"What's the situation?!" With an impatient mood, Belonica rushed to Wentini's side.
"What!" Following Wentini's raised finger, Belonica also noticed an unusual scene in the southwest, and the riots were closer to the city than when Wendini was there.
"Is anyone coming over?"
"People? No kidding, it's impossible for us to break through to this situation, and you can see the death of the seven, single digit ......"
"Wentiny!" Belonica suddenly interrupted Wentini's words, and her previously calm eyes suddenly reflected an inexplicable brilliance, "Maybe, it's really a single digit." β
"You must know that the organization has sent out almost all the big swords, and none of the single-digit big swords here have arrived, maybe they are here now."
"How is this possible, let alone what they can do when they arrive." Wentini thought so, but she didn't refute it as before, and perhaps in her heart, she also expected such a miracle to happen.
Then a miracle appeared, accompanied by chaos approaching, even if the Great Sword was not good at perception, it was able to clearly feel the difference in the center of chaos, which was a completely different demonic energy from the demons, awakened ones, etc., or rather, it was the demonic energy of the Great Sword.
With the visual capture to the perception of the demonic energy, and then to the visual capture, the reason for the chaos of the demon has appeared under the city, which is similar to the miracle but a slightly different situation.
Seven swords followed a male creature to break through the demon's barriers, using the demon's flesh to form a carpet leading to the city, and now they had reached the city's bottom.
The male creature at the front of the line wielded strange weapons, like the weapons of a great sword, crushing the demons in his path, and finally there was no longer any barrier between him and the city walls.
"Now it can be said that the soldiers are coming to the city."
