Chapter 168: Nock is martyred

The battle became more and more intense, and after the Shadow shifted positions three times, it was only able to maintain a defensive location once at most.

Nock pinned all his hopes on the rear city wall, although it was not as strong as the main gate, but it also had a condescending advantage, and with the defense of small-caliber artillery, it could still delay a little time, and even if it could not hold on, the team could retreat safely.

He didn't expect the people of Faroe and Whipland on the other side to come to the rescue, and it was a blessing that they didn't stumble behind their backs.

As long as they hold out for another four hours, and wait for the iron cavalry of the imperial capital to arrive, the Morgan family will end in defeat.

Even if there are the armies and demons of the Kaman Empire behind, they are not afraid, because the army of the imperial capital has arrived, and the troops from other states will come to fight even if they are reluctant, and they will not dare to openly disobey Siman's orders.

The location of the Lost City is very important, it is the choke point of the attack on the Duchy of Fernan, it is from here that Ray entered the Phero Lands, if the Kaman Empire goes around the east side of the Borderlands and uses Faro as a breakthrough point, it will have to pass through the entire Borderlands, and the rough road will cause supply difficulties.

Hold on to supplies, and the battle will be lost!

Therefore, the Lost City was their ambition, and Morgan Gulardo also saw this, as long as he took the first place, Ferrorland would belong to him.

The teams of the Lost City and the New City were all put into battle, at least 50,000 people, and no one dared to press more teams on the front line of the beacon fire without Lei personally deploying.

Previously, there was a defensive position of the city gate and a thunderbolt heavy artillery to rely on, and it could withstand enemies several times their own, but the appearance of the demons reversed the situation, and their purpose was to destroy the heavy artillery and create opportunities for the enemy outside the city.

This is obviously a premeditated plan, even if you think about it with your toes, the Morgan family and the demons collude with each other to end the Shadow's forward position.

But Morgan Gulardo was actually kept in the dark.

He didn't know that William's contact with the demons brought the entire Kaman Empire to the edge of hell, which was also the main plan of the demons, no matter whether the Morgan family could win this war or not, the crime of colluding with the demons was confirmed.

The Duchy of Fernan must be with him to the death, especially the Shadows.

Ray came back to witness this situation, the Morgan family could not escape the doom, as the second gate of the Kaman Empire, the empire will definitely not let them fall, once they intervene, the Western Continent will be completely in turmoil, and then it will inevitably be a river of blood.

This is the revenge of the demons against the human race, the demon apostle Clark said that every demon dies and must be repaid with thousands of human lives!

The plan was seamless, and after success, they stayed out of the matter and watched the tiger fight, killing three birds with one stone, worthy of being the highest wisdom leader in the demon clan.

William didn't have much experience in actual combat, and it was still too immature to command a battle of this scale.

The cunning Morgan Gurardo deliberately used the more than 10,000 private troops he brought out from Trukhba to charge the forward, so that he could give him command, and most of the deaths so far in the battle were William's men.

William saw through the scheming of the Morgan family, but now he is also difficult to ride. I knew that it was good to hear that Cross had taken refuge in the demons, but after this battle, there would be no more than 10,000 soldiers left, and I really regretted not being at the beginning.

Nock has a lot of combat experience, and even if he is at a disadvantage now, he can contain them for half a day, which is a far cry from William's prediction of taking the Lost City in two hours.

However, the Shadow side has also paid a great price, and so far more than 6,000 soldiers have been killed, and the number has been expanding, and since the establishment of the Shadow, there has never been such a large number of casualties in any battle.

The enemy once again launched a charge, even with the cover of armored vehicles and the bombardment and suppression of artillery fire, they still did not dare to attack in a big way, the number of mines planted by the shadow retreat was too large, even if there were armored vehicles in front of them, they could not all be eliminated, and the infantry behind took every step with fear.

Every now and then someone steps on a mine, blows off their legs, and even dies.

After a round of tilted fire, the Shadows repeated their old tricks, and they prepared to retreat to the rear wall to defend.

There was a sudden commotion in the ranks in the rear, and there were gunshots!

Nock screamed badly, and didn't ask what was going on, because he knew that the enemy was sneaking up behind, otherwise there would be gunshots.

He and Diona looked at each other, and the two of them hurried to help.

Attacking them were the elite warriors of the Morgan family, a squad of 30 people, and the lowest of them were all fifth-order assassins-proficient abilities.

As we all know, the number of high-level abilities is the foundation of the big family, which the shadow can't match, after all, it has only been established for a short time, and the orc warriors brought by Carlo before, the highest is the fourth order, and now the strongest Murphy brothers are all injured by the demons.

With Diona and Nock, they will definitely not be able to resist these 30 enemies who are good at stealth.

Many of the Shadow Warriors died unaware of what had happened, and a deadly knife suddenly appeared in a corner or in a crack in the wall, and without exception their throats were cut off.

In desperation, the soldiers kept shooting at the place where no one was, but it was useless, the enemy seemed to be everywhere, and people kept falling.

Diona went into hiding while running, and with the help of Dr. Carlo, although she didn't break through the bottleneck of the seventh order, she was only a thin line, and the others were injured, and now she was the strongest in the shadows.

She approached silently, and as an enemy lurking beneath the ruins leaped out to attack the Shadow Warrior, the short knife in her hand swung with crimson light, piercing the heart from behind the enemy, and the crimson power spread throughout the heart to burst.

Crimson Power works like this, maximizing the damage, so Diona's attacks are more lethal than those of the same rank.

The space rippled, and Diona disappeared again, her body almost transparent, and no connoisseur could detect her.

She found another opportunity to strike, stabbing her foe in the throat and killing another foe.

The enemies hidden around them knew that there were masters to meet them, and they all gathered around Diona.

As a high-level assassin, she also has a strong sense of danger, Diona found that there were at least eight people lurking near her, she deliberately revealed her figure, and several fatal parts of her back immediately faintly felt pain.

She quickly moved two steps to the right, dodging five stabbing short knives, her figure pulled out an afterimage, the person had already flashed behind one of the enemies, grabbed his neck with one hand, and the short knife pierced his Heavenly Spirit Gai, killing him with another knife.

When she jumped away, she was also stabbed through the arm by the enemy, but fortunately she reacted quickly and forced the attacker back with a single sword, otherwise this arm would not have been saved.

Nock had already arrived at this time, and seeing that Diona was injured, he hurriedly swung two air blades to force the enemy back.

Assassination - Proficient people will not have very high defense, they only pursue speed and explosive power, and will not waste evolution points on defense, Nok can only kill them with only fifth-order strength enhancement, the difficulty is that they can't see their traces.

The two of them put their backs to their backs to guard against the enemy's attack.

"Nock, we must abandon the city and retreat! it's not safe here, listen to me, and we'll take revenge when the head returns!" said Diona.

Nock didn't know where the enemy was hiding, so he kept wielding his greatsword, and he glanced at the enemy's battle formation, which had advanced to a dangerous distance, and now it didn't make much sense to defend even the city walls.

"Okay! We'll retreat as we go, all the Shadow Warriors will obey the order!All retreat, go to the second line of defense to rest their ranks!" Nock had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

"Go, I'll cover you, just don't stop!" Diona said and went into hiding, no one knowing where she would appear next, so as to put pressure on her opponent.

As soon as Nock stopped swinging, three enemies attacked him!

Diona stopped two of them, and Nock was stabbed in the chest, nearly breaking his heart, and with a swing of his greatsword, he slashed the exposed foe in two.

Seeing that Nock was wounded, the retreating warriors ran to him desperately, and dozens of people surrounded him, using their flesh to form a defensive wall.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately those warriors have become victims, and people on the periphery of the crowd keep falling, but in order to escort Nock away, they can't manage so much, and many warriors gather to fill the gaps.

"You all retreat to Lao Tzu!Disobey orders and deal with military law!" Nock cried, his heart dripping blood.

He felt that he was a sinner of the shadows, too many people sacrificed for him today, he was sorry for these dead brothers, he was sorry for Ray, if he hadn't insisted on defending to the end, so many people would not have died.

"Head, as long as we can escort you out of here safely, even if you cut off our heads in the future, I'll be happy to cut off our heads!

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

"Bastard, I'll kill you right now! you're going to kill them!" Nock was carried on the back of a burly warrior, and he struggled to get down, and the next second, he saw the head of the warrior who was leading the shouting flight out of his body, spurting a fountain of blood.

"Don't! You dog-brutes! There is a kind of fight in a dignified manner!" Nock could only watch as one warrior after another fell in front of him, and Nock's heart was like a knife.

After killing the three Assassins, Diona was also stabbed several times, and half of her body was already stained with blood, and if she continued to consume it like this, they would all die here!

If something happens to Diona, Nock really can't forgive himself for the rest of his life!

With all his strength, he burst out of the crowd, jumped up to Diona, lifted her up, and handed her to the warriors who had gathered around again.

"Take Diona away!, leave me alone!" Nock said, stabbing him twice in the back.

These assassins were smart enough to know that as long as Nock was alive, the Shadow People would not run away, and they used this opportunity to enjoy the thrill of killing, so they didn't kill Nok.

"Captain ......" saw that he was wounded, and the fighters were trying to go to the rescue.

"Diona, take the warriors away, tell Erin, I love her, love her, don't let her do anything stupid!" Nock said to Diona with a smile on his lips.

"Don't! Don't do this, Nock, let's go together! Erin, she'll die without you!" Diona cried, knowing that Nock was going to trade his life for everyone's life.

"Hurry up, or I'll die for you now!" Nock made a deep cut in his neck with his greatsword, "Hurry up!

The furious Nok wielded his debut blade and shouted hoarsely.

Seeing that the warriors were constantly falling, Diona gave the order "Retreat!"
