Chapter 50: The Battle of Reese

The rest of the journey seemed a little easier, with enough water in the oasis and some fish caught to supplement the lack of food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPeople who are faintly uneasy in their hearts can't help but speed up a little. Two days later, the team finally walked out of the desert and came to a barren area on the edge of the desert. The road remained deserted until two days later it was just outside the town of Reese.

However, all the villages along the way were destroyed, and not a single living person was seen, so it seemed that it would not be easy to catch up with the army of the undead. The dark aura that could be felt along the way was getting stronger and stronger, and this was confirmed by Linya and Heathland. Apparently, some kind of danger awaited them ahead. Satyra finally decided to rush back to Reestown overnight, where it would be safer to rest.

After midnight on March 15, 4124, the expeditionary expedition finally arrived at Reese Town under the red light of the blood moon in the state of the full moon, but the result was an uproar. Thousands of skeletons, zombies, and monsters of all kinds are surrounding the city in the farmland outside the town, armed with various weapons and trying to climb the walls of Reestown. Screams, screams, calls, and all sorts of weird and strange screams.

Linya flew up, and then she noticed that the army of the undead was far larger than people had imagined, and at first glance, it seemed that they were out of sight, and their ranks looked disheveled, but in fact they had some basic formations, and there were several catapults mixed in, which were smashing black balls of flame into the walls of Reestown. A group of winged demons had stormed the city, slaughtering soldiers and civilians alike, and the dwarven archers were desperately fighting back with their bows and arrows, but the screams continued to be heard, and a group of undead had rushed in at the north gate, and the situation in the city was already chaotic. At this moment, the gate to the south of Reese Town suddenly opened, and a group of dwarven soldiers rushed out, followed by countless civilians, and the situation was chaotic.

"Hurry, everyone, go to the south gate, the undead army is about to attack the city, and the army and civilians in the city are already breaking through from the south gate!" Linya hurriedly flew back and shouted to everyone. When Satila, Hamito and the others heard this, they hurriedly threw down their burdens, formed a group, and escorted Heslan to the direction of the south gate.

Even if all the young civilians in the town were urgently recruited and armed, the number would be less than two thousand, and there would still be a huge disparity in strength compared to the demon army outside the city. As for the quality of the army, fighting spirit, morale, and the like, it is even more incomparable. After three days of fighting outside the city, the Dark Legion finally launched a fierce attack, and after fighting in the middle of the night, after defeating the two waves of attacks of the Demon Legion, the Rees garrison suffered heavy casualties, and people have to admit that the city will definitely not survive the dawn.

The number of monsters outside the West Gate seemed to be unusually large, and the mayor of Guarding Rees finally decided to let some of the garrison remain to continue defending the walls and the city, hoping to buy some time, while the other half of the soldiers and civilians gathered and rushed out from the south gate, hoping to have a chance to survive. But the various undead monsters outside the south gate were just as difficult to solve, and the soldiers soon fell into a bitter battle, and there was still no defensive advantage of the city walls here outside the city. Casualties are mounting, and civilians are joining in with a variety of weapons, but it clearly doesn't do much.

The battle situation was in a scorching position, and when the collapse was about to come, a ball of magic energy with extremely high precision suddenly flew into the place where the monsters gathered. After a violent explosion of light, the surrounding monsters were blown apart by the wave of light. With the Sword of Light in one hand, Linya landed in front of the crowd with an ice shield on the other, and then casually slashed down two ghouls, and then cast the Spirit Wave Undead Summoning Spell as fast as she could.

A large number of skeletons around them soon stopped moving, and then rallied on both sides of the south gate according to Linya's orders. The dwarven soldiers who had been fighting for most of the night finally had a chance to breathe, but these undead monsters who were still fighting just now suddenly ran to the side and fought their own kind, which was really a bit confusing.

The mercenary team with the orc swordsman Hamito as the vanguard also rushed up, and a dwarf soldier who was stunned saw such a tall orc warrior, and thought it was a big monster, and hurriedly raised his axe to cut it, but was kicked out by Hamito. Mayor Reece was about to speak, but Satyra couldn't help but shout: "Stop fighting, everyone, come out of the south gate, gather in the south of the city, and prepare to go west to New Bella! I'll have to rely on you when the meeting is broken!"

This is not the time to argue about anything, strength speaks, and someone has to be obedient if they are organized. Mayor Reese and the men of the garrison hurriedly organized a new formation under Satira's arrangement.

The defenses on the city walls have collapsed, and countless undead monsters have poured into the city, slaughtering those who have not had time to escape. Linya didn't say anything, after lining up the formation of the skeleton legion, she summoned the ice crystal bow, and after shooting down two winged demons in a row, those conscious high-level devils were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated a long way, and the defensive position around the south city gate was barely maintained.

However, the demon legions from other directions are constantly reinforcing in the direction of the south gate, and the pressure on the defense lines on both sides is increasing. Fewer than two thousand civilians and soldiers escaped from the gates, less than a quarter of the town's population.

The enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and I am afraid that if I delay like this any longer, if I don't make a decision sooner, the team will be surrounded by an endless army of undead. Satyra saw that the civilians had already walked a short distance south, and beckoned the team to abandon the guards at the city gate, and began to slowly retreat south. As for those who were still in the city who did not escape...... There's really no way around that.

Although Linya's heart was also gloomy, she really couldn't help it. There were too many enemies, everyone did their best, and they had been marching rapidly for the past few days, and before their tired bodies had recovered, they threw themselves into battle again. Let's hope they find a place to hide and wait until dawn.

Satyra commanded the guards to cover the civilians as they slowly retreated southward, while Linya and Heath Lan led the ranks of the undead they summoned to unfold in an arc at the rear, fending off the demon army's attacks, while the others cleared the nets in the middle.

Fortunately, these brainless undead monsters and other things have a slower reaction ability and speed than the living, and with such a huge number of undead legions, those devils are not so easy to control in an orderly manner. Summoning the nearest ones and having them kill each other, in doing so to deplete their numbers and block them from approaching, gradually creates a safe distance for the escaping crowd.

Finally, when the demon army that came from both sides finally surged up like a tide, Linya and her party could finally give up resistance and escape from this terrifying sea of the undead faster than them. The two groups eventually met up about two kilometers outside the south gate of Reestown, and then turned west in the direction of New Bella. The undead in the back pursued them until after dawn, when the sun rose and the sun shone the earth again, and the dark creatures hid in the dark corners.

The town of Reese has fallen, and with the thousands of people inside, the chances of survival are slim to none.

The sun came out, the undead and demons hid underground, and people who had been tired all night could finally rest. From the mouths of the residents of Reese Town, I learned the general situation, since five days ago, all kinds of monsters, skeletons, zombies and small monsters and other things have been roaming around the town, three days ago at night these monsters surrounded the town, completely unable to enter and exit, unable to contact New Bella, even those who go out of the city during the day can not escape, those winged devils can also be active in the sun for a while.

In the past few days, there have been more and more demons and monsters focusing on the outside of the walls of Rees from all directions, and from time to time they will attack the city gate and climb the city wall or something. Then last night there was finally a full-scale attack, and with such a disparity in strength, the town's defenses finally collapsed.

Thinking of the situation encountered in Beira City and the oasis in the past few days, everyone's mood was extremely heavy. With so many armies of demons and undead skeletons gathered here under the summons of the demons, it was obviously impossible for a small town of Rees. So where is their ultimate goal? Do they want to take over all of Abella in one fell swoop?

Thinking of the contract conditions of the Doomsday Emissary, Linya completely understood what it meant. That's what they're about, to wipe out the kingdom of the Abella Dwarves and turn the entire island into the devil's domain! If the demon army that came to Reece Town was not all of their strength, plus a few powerful demon-level characters, the dwarves who didn't know magic at all really had no good way to deal with them.

After resting for two or three hours, the team set off again. But with such a large group of civilians, it is really impossible to walk fast. It wasn't until the evening of the next day that the whole team finally returned to New Bella, and the arrival of such a large group of people startled the guards. Then it was the urgent resettlement work, and Satira hurried to the palace to find the king directly, and Linya and the others could take the opportunity to go back to their respective hotels to have a good rest. I was so tired, sleepy, and hungry.
