At 6:20 p.m., just as the sun was about to set, a small black dot appeared on the horizon, and the black dot looked so small in the vast desert, but then a second and a third of its kind appeared next to it...... Everywhere you look, there are dense black dots.

A cacophony of sirens sounded in Gold Rush Town, and a heavily armed Rocky had stepped out of the command room, ascended to the granary, and nodded at the Archmage of Milford standing there, who was holding a new wizard telescope from the Wizards' Guild and observing the new black dot in the Malkan Desert.

Rocky asked, "How many?"

"The preliminary estimate is that there are more than 30,000 of them, and the weakest ones have the strength of the second order or above, and we have seen two Abyss Lords before the magic sentry we planted in the innermost part was destroyed. Milford shook his head and handed the binoculars to Rocky, "We still have too few people, so we can only choose to hold on, but Gold Rush Town is not a majestic city like New Telt and Armored Rock City, just a town formed spontaneously because of the Gold Rush, there were no walls originally, and the improvised walls made of wood these days don't play much role in the face of these abyss monsters, and we will last at most three days if we really want to fight." ”

Rocky shook his head, "It's not going to start." ”

Milford snorted, "Forget it, if the temple is completely sure, it will not send the Second Holy Knights over, didn't Captain Rocky also make an emergency plan two days ago." ”

"Just in case. Rocky put the telescope in front of his eyes, and the black spots behind the lenses that were still blurred turned into monsters with teeth and claws, obviously there was still a considerable distance, but even the saliva from the mouths of those monsters and the hair on their bodies could be seen clearly.

The leader of the Second Holy Knights also had to secretly praise in his heart, but the magical civilization has its own uniqueness.

Milford said, "This is just the first batch of monsters, I don't know how many will follow, the church had better not lie, otherwise let these monsters scatter and rush into the surrounding towns, and the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable." ”

"The temple doesn't lie about this, many of the people in the neighborhood are our followers, and as a paladin, I have a responsibility to protect them. Rocky said, returning the telescope in his hand.

While the two were talking, the army of monsters had advanced a few more miles, and they were moving fast and still on top of their horses, so it was estimated that they would be able to reach Gold Rush when they had half a magic spell left at most.

Milford had the magic circle under the improvised walls activated.

This was the first line of defense set up by the Wizards Association in Gold Rush Town, and the cold air poured out of the ground, and soon covered the surroundings with a layer of hoarfrost, and the people carried buckets to water desperately, and after a while, the simple wooden wall was frozen into a huge ice mound, and the thick ice layer greatly strengthened the defense of the city wall.

But now in the desert, this ice wall will not last long, at most it will last for half a day, even if those monsters do not move, it will slowly lose its effect, Milford did not stop moving, after the ice wall was built, he issued a new order, activating the floating battery that stayed above the town.

This is the real killer move of the Magicians Association, this Shattered Star III. type floating turret is equipped with two hundred and forty-three cannon barrels, which can shoot hundreds of magic cannonballs at one time, it is a veritable battlefield killing weapon, after waking up, the hideous shape unfolds, looking at the steel fortress above the head that represents the pinnacle of magic technology, everyone's fear of those monsters in the desert has also been reduced a lot.

Milford stopped talking after giving two commands one after the other, just stood there quietly, whether it was the Wizards' Guild or the Temple, the strategy this time was very clear, the forces deployed in Gold Rush Town were just in case, unless the situation was out of control and they needed to take action, otherwise the order they received was just to wait and see.

At 6:46, the first wave of monsters arrived under the ice wall of Gold Rush Town, the guards on the wall could already see the appearance of the enemy, many people saw the abyssal creatures for the first time, and the species on the Dawn Continent are different, the bodies of the abyssal creatures are stronger and more hideous, every organ of them, every inch of the skeleton is to adapt to survival, the environment of the abyss is a thousand times worse than the Dawn Continent, and the extreme lack of materials makes killing an eternal theme there.

Weak species will be eliminated, and strong species will be reduced to food for more powerful species, and it is under such cruel laws of competition that almost all creatures that survive have their own merits.

Looking at the endless sea of monsters under their feet, some people couldn't help but vomit under the huge pressure of death, compared to the nineteen thousand people under Rocky's command are the elite of the second paladin figure, almost everyone has seen blood, but they are better, but the white knuckles also show that they are nervous at the moment.

No one had ever seen so many monsters in one place, and it had been more than two hundred years since the last Abyssal Rift appeared, but the horror of that battle had been circulating within the Church.

So when the first crocodile came under the ice wall, everyone's hearts hung in their throats, but unlike the rumors of rage and bloodthirstiness, this crocodile did not attack immediately after arriving, but stopped in place, and the monster that arrived later did the same.

Then there was an extremely strange scene under the walls of Gold Rush Town, as if there was an invisible barrier to stop all the monsters there, and they looked at the defenders on the wall from a distance, and their eyes flashed with fierce light.

Milford looked at it for a moment, waved his hand, and finally spoke again, "Let go." ”

So he lowered a hanging basket from the ice wall, and in it sat four men, who looked vicious, but trembled, they were death row inmates that Milford had found from the nearby garrison, all of whom had been on the side of evil, and who carried more than one human life, but who were as helpless and frightened as four little chicks in the face of the monsters below.

Someone grabbed the rope that tied the hanging basket and tried to climb up, but at least ten archers pointed arrows at them on it, and finally when the hanging basket was less than a meter from the ground, the defenders on the wall cut the rope directly, cutting off the last hope of the four.

The faces of the four death row inmates turned pale, at this moment they were all surrounded by unheard-of terrifying monsters, this distance could already smell the stench in each other's mouths, and some of the unscrupulous guys peed their pants on the spot, but the strange thing was that the group of monsters were motionless in the face of the four moving pieces of meat in front of them, and the closest ones, although they showed greed, had been forcibly restrained.

Eventually, a quarter of an hour passed, and the four death row inmates who had fallen into the monster pile were still alive.

Milford's face sank instead of getting better, and he sighed, "Trouble." ”
