Chapter 174: The Battle of Doret XII
There were already dark clouds and lightning and thunder above the city of Doret, but even so, the fighting inside and outside the city showed no signs of stopping. On the contrary, the shallow river that passed through the eastern sub-city appeared many enemies for a while, and they broke through the entrance between the shallow river and the sub-city, and attacked the interior of the eastern sub-city.
From the place where Fid was defending, it was clear that the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire were rushing into the sub-city along the shallow river outside the city. The soldiers who were supposed to guard the walls had to fight on both sides, facing the enemy from the outside with long ladders, rushing in from the siege towers and through the river channels. The number of troops that had been drastically reduced due to food poisoning among the soldiers, and now that the enemy had found a breakthrough in the eastern sub-city, the situation of the defenders took a sharp turn for the worse.
Feder looked at Golia, who was holding the staff with one hand, and the boy was just holding it up with both hands. I saw that Golia's eyes had been closed, and some incantations were being muttered silently in her mouth, and it lasted like this for five minutes, and there was no other movement. Feder looked up at the sky, and although there was a thunderclap behind the dark clouds, not a drop of rain fell, but within five minutes after Golia held the staff, a strong wind began to blow from all directions!
This resulted in all the archers standing on the walls and arrow towers not being able to accurately shoot their targets. Most of the arrows that flew out were blown crooked by the strong wind, and it was impossible to hit the enemy. Even Ayana lowered her short wooden bow, her arrows were extremely accurate, but the wind was the archer's greatest obstacle.
"Commander!" Marcus's orange hair and beard had already been blown very messy, like a tree standing upside down, "The weather has suddenly become very bad! We may be about to fight those enemies!" he said as he pointed to the area of the city wall to the south, where the walls had already been completely lost, and now the invading army of the East Oguna Empire seemed to have slowed down, just standing a hundred meters away and looking at the situation here, not approaching the junction of the city wall.
In addition to the withdrawn defenders of the Theoguna Empire, Fide and his four mercenary groups have become the main force guarding this area. All the mercenaries were already in battle in the not-so-wide area of the wall, and the crossbowmen, though unable to attack, took up their weapons and aimed at the enemy.
At this moment, an enemy with an upper body ** and an axe in each hand stood up. He was still wearing a helmet, but the plate armor on his body had been removed, and the muscles on his body were very strong, and he was one meter nine tall, which was estimated to be a strong man. Step by step, the strong man walked towards Fidel's side, and as the soldiers behind him shouted, he also shouted to the mercenaries, "Our general will let us take the southern vice-city, but I think you!" he pointed at Fidel with the tip of his axe and roared, "You are the mercenary hero named Fidel, if you are brave enough, come and fight me alone!"
Ayana frowned, she immediately raised the short wooden bow and aimed at the strong man who intended to find Fidel alone, but she only took aim, then shook her head again, and put the wooden bow down - even if it was less than fifty meters away, there was still no way to shoot the opponent, and it was estimated that the other party would go to the front to provoke because he saw the strong wind.
Charlie, Ahei and Jasmine all looked at Fidel with expectant eyes, of course they remembered that Fede had captured the Wasteland Python Saresa with his own hands, and if he wanted to fight alone, he would definitely not be defeated, but now he was in the midst of hundreds of thousands of people, and there was a slight mistake
Feder groaned for a moment, then stepped forward with a "silence". But Patrick, who came back from the rear, stretched out his hand to stop him, "You are the leader of a mercenary group, and you have been entrusted with important tasks, how can you do such an irresponsible thing." With that, the champion gladiator took out two long swords and met them.
Isn't it my responsibility to be responsible?, Feder was still thinking about the other party's words, although he felt that there was something wrong with Patrick's words in his heart, but the strong man had already gathered his strength and rushed at his opponent with an axe!
At the junction of the dungeon and the secret passage, the six members of the special operations team had already dispersed, and all of them took out their weapons and stared at the tall but severely hunched man wearing an iron mask.
"Your tricks mean you're one of Saint Golia's men, right?" Captain Sepra shook his cloak, his weapon was the finger rings on his fingers. Avi later learned that it was a boxing weapon called the Finger Tiger, and that only a handful of martial arts gyms on the mainland would teach this fighting style using fists as weapons.
The hunchbacked man in the iron mask did not speak, but he slowly unfastened his robe, and then stretched out a hand and pulled it into his abdomen. Avi saw that the other party had very long and pointed nails, and when the other party stretched out his hand, the hunchbacked man was already covered with blood, and there was still some flesh on his nails, and his body was also trembling violently, as if he was enduring terrible pain.
The undigested lunch in Avi's stomach instantly tumbled, and he immediately realized that the other party was digging into his own flesh with his own hands. That disgusting and horrible behavior made everyone present look sideways, but Girl Twelve didn't say a word, and immediately raised the longbow in her hand and aimed it at the hunchbacked man.
Captain Cyprus tried to wave his hand to tell Twelve not to attack first, but Twelve had already let go of the bowstring and shot one of the sharp arrows from the longbow!
The hunchbacked man slowly raised his head, neither dodging nor resisting with anything, his abdomen had already been shot by the arrow!Girl Twelve showed a surprised expression, Avi didn't understand what this expression meant, and the hunchbacked man only twitched his face, and did not fall down because he was shot.
The hunchbacked man continued his movements, and he suddenly sprinkled the flesh in his hand into the air, and he had already muttered a few incantations in his mouth before the flesh fell to the ground.
Suddenly, figures appeared all over the walls of this room! Dozens of human bodies identical to the hunchbacked men "seeped" out of the walls! The walls were like the surface of the water, and there were dozens of hunchbacked men waiting under the water, and they showed their heads at the same time, and then came out from behind the water.
This scene surprised all six people present, and Jang immediately retreated to the entrance of the passage, vigilantly observing the surroundings. Avi and Fan immediately stood back to back, Avi was already too frightened to think by the sight in front of him, and he had forgotten his promise to hide behind Twelve and protect each other's backs. The middle-aged mercenary Gemen pulled out the short-handled sword at his waist with his backhand and rushed towards one of the hunchbacked men who was still "oozing" out of the wall.
Gemen scurried over, backhanded his sword, and with a single sword, cut off the head of the hunchbacked man. By the time the back half of the hunchbacked man's body seeped out of the wall, his entire body was already dead and he fell to the ground.
"You can kill these things!" Avi shouted as soon as he saw that Gemen had succeeded in the first place. The big-nosed fan also took out the ejection iron gun and stabbed it at one of the hunchback men who was oozing, but the hunchbacked man's hands had already seeped out of the wall, and the other party directly held the ejected iron gun with both hands. Although the iron spear still stabbed the other party's chest and abdomen, the hunchbacked man seemed to have no pain, and grabbed the iron spear with both hands, trying to drag the big-nosed fan over with him.
Fan struggled to pull the iron gun back, but the hunchbacked man had a lot of strength, and he could only hold on to the other party, and there was no way to take back the ejection iron gun.
Without saying a word, Avi rushed over with the Quenching Knight Sword and directly cut off one of the hunchbacked man's hands. But before Avi could come to his senses, a hunchbacked man seeped out of the wall behind him, and then wrapped his arms around Avi.
The hunchbacked man clasped Avi's arms with both hands, and kept pushing in. The tremendous force made Aveli squeeze all over his body, as if the bones in his body were about to be crushed. But Twelve's arrows then came from a distance, hitting the hunchbacked man in the head!
Captain Cyprus ignored the dozens of hunchbacked men seeping out of the walls, and he rushed straight at the body of the one who didn't know what hex was used to summon these identical-looking guys.
But the hunchbacked man who had pulled the flesh out of his abdomen disappeared in an instant, and a guy who was exactly the same as the one on the other walls appeared in the place where he was standing. Sepra stopped after taking a fixed look, and the leader of the special operations team looked around vigilantly, and found that the hunchbacked men who were oozing from the walls were only increasing, even though the middle-aged mercenary Gemen had killed several hunchbacked men in a row in a very short period of time, but there was still a steady stream of hunchbacked men seeping out from behind the wall.
"It's summoning magic!" Avi shouted, his arms aching, but his consciousness was clear. He knew that the three mage heirs each specialized in one type of magic, but Felistie told herself that the Virgen Golia was proficient in several types of magic. The enemies seeping out of the walls in front of you are definitely summoning magic, and the hunchbacked man is Goliath's men!
When Captain Cyprus heard Avi's shout, he immediately raised his folded hands and smashed the back of a hunchbacked man who had just approached, and the hunchbacked man's bulging back was instantly smashed to pieces, and the flesh was blurred, "Is it magic? Then let's taste the taste of being broken by my iron fist!"
