The army of dungeon creatures has retreated, but the city of Zerata is in mourning.

Although the number of twenty flame giants in this battle was more than the last time, because the defenders had already prepared, the losses were much less than in the last battle, but those gray dwarves armed with steam catapult devices and machine guns took the defenders of Zerata City by surprise, and under the strafing of those short conical bullets, thousands of defenders were either killed or wounded, and the blood that flowed out stained the city walls red.

Of course, this is not the most fatal blow, the most deadly is that through this siege, the gray dwarves have shown their strong strength to the world, which makes the soldiers and civilians in the entire city have deep doubts about whether they can hold Zerata City, even if the city lord has already ordered the evacuation, but where is it so easy for tens of thousands of people to leave the city, can the defenders block the onslaught of the dungeon creatures when the people evacuate, that is, the city lord of Amartyago is not so confident now.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the blazing chandelier was reflected on the lizard face of Amathiago, making his expression even more gloomy, and the attendants around him did not dare to come out, for fear of making the City Lord angry.

Looking at the empty hall that had been organized for the inhabitants to retreat, the city lord of Amartyago sighed deeply.

At this moment, an attendant in scale armor walked in quickly, and he came to Yamatiago and reported, "Lord of the city, Your Majesty Sun Licheng is here. ”

Hearing the words of the attendant, Amathiago's eyes finally regained their brightness, and he hurriedly stood up and said loudly, "Go, please come in, Your Majesty." ”

Soon, under the guidance of the attendant officer, Sun Licheng stepped into the hall.

After the two sat down, Amathiago asked Sun Licheng impatiently.

"Your Majesty Sun Licheng, I don't know if you have a good way to block the enemy's attack, if the dungeon creatures continue to attack like this, we will not be able to let the residents retreat smoothly. And once the inhabitants of the city are captured by them, they will soon be turned into war slaves, and at that time, the army of dungeon creatures will explode rapidly, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Probably because of his anxiety, Amatiago's speech was a little fast, and with his swollen face, Sun Licheng knew that he was already panicking.

"I'm sorry, Lord Castle, but I don't have a good way to stop the army of dungeon creatures. You know, the key thing for us now is that we don't have enough troops, and the soldiers don't have enough ability to operate complex weapons. Even if I gave them more gunpowder weapons, these soldiers wouldn't have time to train, let alone compete with the burst-fire steam machine guns of the Grey Dwarves. ”

Sun Licheng said helplessly. Although he wanted to comfort Amartyago's fragile heart, he couldn't do it now.

After listening to Sun Licheng's words, Yamatiago suddenly paused, and the attendant officers next to him did not behave well. Sun Licheng said this, it can be seen that the next battle will be extremely bloody, after all, if you are caught by the dungeon creatures, then you will definitely become the war slave of the other party, and at that time it will be a more terrible ending than death.

However, the situation is stronger than people, even if they are unwilling, but now there is really no means to deal with the dungeon creatures, and after the two of them discussed for a while, they could only end the meeting helplessly.

In the end, of course, both men decided to cover the retreat of the inhabitants no matter what. This also means that the city of Zerata will engage in brutal street fighting.

Returning to Helmark's barracks, Sun Licheng gathered all the officers together and briefed everyone on the situation, and when they heard Sun Licheng's words, everyone was silent, and a gloomy atmosphere shrouded the venue.

They fled from Helmark, expecting to get a place to live, but they didn't expect the dungeon creatures to follow them and put the city of Zerata in crisis in just a few days.

"If we had known that this was the case, we might as well fight them to the death in Helmark City, so that at least we wouldn't be as embarrassed as we are now. ”

The monster's personality is rather irritable, and Dikyani, who can't think of a countermeasure, can't stand this oppressive atmosphere and shouts angrily.

Although the others had a lot of opinions about Diqueani's performance before, no one was willing to accuse him at this time, after all, everyone's hearts were very depressed, and they could understand his current mood.

Sun Licheng waited for Dikeyani to finish shouting, stepped forward, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "If you have anger, vent it, but you must stabilize your emotions when fighting." You are our senior officer, and many of our brothers need your calm command to survive. On the one hand, we have to complete the cover mission, and on the other hand, we want to save the lives of more brothers. ”

Hearing Sun Licheng's words, Dikyani nodded heavily.

Seeing that the monster had figured it out, Sun Licheng said to the others: "My order to you is: try to protect the retreat of the residents of the city, but also try to avoid the needless sacrifices of the brothers. Our fundamental purpose is not to fight the dungeon creatures who have the most dead. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Seeing that Sun Licheng was still thinking about them at this time, all the officers were moved, and they really regarded Sun Licheng as their king at this time.

After giving the order, Sun Licheng walked out of the barracks, and at this time, there was a commotion in the city of Zerata, and countless residents began to retreat.

Listening to the cries and curses in the city, and seeing the desperate expressions of those people in front of him, Sun Licheng sighed helplessly, and said in his heart: "Only with a country can there be a home, without the protection of Zerata City, where is the future of these Zerata residents?"

Even though the city of Zelata did everything in its power to retreat, the dungeon creatures didn't give them more time.

Early the next morning, the army of dungeon creatures launched another attack on the city of Zerata with the sound of melodious trumpets.

This time, as usual, countless magical attacks and heavy long-range firepower began to bombard the defensive magic array of Zerata City, and at the same time, Ardabisiah called out as many as thirty flame giants, and the steam machine gunners of the gray dwarves also appeared in large numbers.

The siege was full of blood and despair from the very beginning.

Under the frantic attack of the army of dungeon creatures, even if all the officers went up to the city wall, it only lasted less than three hours, and the city wall was lost in many places. Immediately, an army of dungeon creatures poured into the city of Zerata from the top of these walls.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Sun Licheng and Yamatiago reluctantly led their subordinates to retreat into the city, relying on the complex streets and buildings of Zezerata City to engage in street battles with the creatures of the dungeon.

The millennia hatred between the dungeon creatures and the dungeon creatures completely exploded at this time, and the two sides used all their strength as soon as they met, and it was really unstoppable. However, to the despair of the dungeon creatures, it was the war slaves who rushed to the forefront of the dungeon creatures, and they couldn't keep their hands at this time, so the dungeon creatures on both sides began a desperate battle in front of the dungeon creatures.

Relying on their powerful attack power and numerical superiority, the dungeon creatures soon became unable to hold on, and they fought and retreated, and the defense line slowly moved towards the city lord's mansion.

"Lord Castle, another of our streets has been lost. ”

An officer with a face blackened by smoke and fire was reporting to Yamathiago. At this time, Amartyago had long lost his former demeanor, his body was covered with wounds, and he had a long scar on one of his arms, from which bright red blood was still flowing.

"How long can you resist?"

Amartyago asked in a deep voice as he held his left hand to the wound on his right arm.

The officer who reported thought for a moment and said helplessly: "More than half of the fighters of the third team have already suffered casualties, and it is estimated that in another thirty minutes, the battle line will collapse." ”
