428. The Defenders of the City

"It's not a bad idea to have more supplies!" Karl muttered to Surdak as he ate the stew.

Karl and his ten squad leaders, including Surdak, went out to buy supplies.

Originally, Surdak had prepared a lot of supplies for this trip to the plane, and this time he bought a 'Water Gathering Technique' magic rune board in the magic grocery store, as long as there were enough magic crystal fragments, this water gathering rune board could provide a steady supply of drinking water.

Such a Hydroconcentrature metal rune plate was not cheap, and it cost him a full gold coin to buy it.

It doesn't matter if you don't need this metal rune plate for this mission, you can bring it back to Wall Village when you return to Highlandsa City.

In addition to the horse team transporting water to the past, occasionally when there is a shortage of water, they will use the water gathering magic scroll brought by Surdak, with this 'water gathering' magic rune board, it should be able to greatly alleviate the water shortage problem in the sulfur mine.

Scones, an easy-to-store dry food, were filled with a magic fanny pack, some cheese wrapped in banana leaves, bags of nuts and dried berries were packed into a magic fanny pack, seasonings and cooking tools necessary for wild hunting, and Surdak also prepared some large beast traps.

I heard that some hellhounds have invaded the maca plane, Surdak has fought with this vicious dog, and knows that they are about the size of a calf, and their bodies are as strong as adult wild boars, only large beast traps will have some effect on hell dogs, in addition to large beast traps, he also bought some warning bells, in addition, he also bought two vials of wurm feces in the magic potion shop.

Fortunately, the shops in Bednar City were quite well stocked, and Carl took the ten team leaders around for an afternoon, and finally prepared enough supplies, and then hurried back to the hotel.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Pena, you can always see knights in different guard battalion uniforms passing by, and few people sit on the side of the street and laugh leisurely, and the city is full of tension.

The dinner in the inn was prepared with a large barbecue steak, and it is said that Viscount Emmett was in a hurry to enter the maca plane for everyone, worried that the logistics there would not be able to keep up in time, and the barbecue would allow the knight to last all day without feeling too hungry.

After dinner, Viscount Emmett led the knights of the Haylanza Guard Battalion down a long street straight to the Times Center Square in Pena City.

One side of the square was crowded with knights waiting to pass through the portal, and the other side was full of various wooden boxes, these knights lined up in a long line, walked to the pile of supplies to receive a box of supplies, had to carry the heavy supplies on their shoulders, and then quickly passed through the portal in the center of the square, almost all the knights carried the wooden boxes and trotted all the way into the portal.

Surdak finally saw the portal, which was made of the dragon's skull.

From the outside, it is difficult to see the appearance of the dragon's skull, it is more like a building in the shape of a trumpet, and the entire portal plane is wrapped in a stone wall, and it is only at the entrance that it is the dragon's mouth that can be seen.

The knights rushed to the dragon's jaw, and then disappeared into the darkness completely.

The knights connected very smoothly, each carrying a wooden box and walked quickly into the portal, a team of knights quickly entered the portal, the atmosphere seemed very tense, and it didn't take long for the turn of the knights of the Hylantha City Guard Battalion, Surdak was behind Karl, quickly carried a large wooden box in the material storage place, and walked quickly into the portal.

After hundreds of years of wind and rain, although the portal erected on Times Square has become an antique building, but time does not seem to dispel the faint dragon power on the keel, through the round arched gate, Surdak followed Carl forward more than ten meters away, and saw a portal at the throat of the keel, the portal emitted a faint ripple of water, and the knights in front of him almost rushed into the ripples of water, and disappeared in an instant.

The second time he crossed the portal, Surdak already had some experience and mental preparation.

When he rushed into the portal, Surdak only felt a faint dizziness, and the scene in front of him changed, the dazzling sunlight made Surdak can't help but squint his eyes, and a warm and humid breath quickly enveloped Surdak's body.

A moment ago, it was still a bitterly cold winter, but I didn't expect that this side of the maca plane would be as warm as spring.

There was a strange howl around the city, and there were always flocks of birds rushing by in the sky, and there was hardly any smoke to be seen.

At this time, Surdak saw three magicians riding on the handles chasing the winged monster from the edge of the city.

"Keep walking, blocked at the teleportation door, hurry up and go to the material storage place in front...... "Someone at the teleportation door kept shouting at the top of his voice, and the flag in his hand pointed to the open space in the square, guiding the knights who were stranded at the teleportation door.

Surdak and Carl quickly identified the direction and walked towards the material storage place in the square on this side, Carl also looked back from time to time to count the number of people, Viscount Emmett and the other three captains stood on a wooden box in the square and looked very eye-catching, they were like beacons in the channel, and the knights of the Haylanza City Guard Battalion gathered towards the location of Viscount Emmett after handing over the wooden box they were carrying.

Viscount Emmett stood on the wooden box and said loudly: "The squadron leaders of each squadron are responsible for counting the number of their squadrons!" ”

A high-ranking general from the city of Warzhmara also walked over with a clerk, and Viscount Emmett quickly jumped off the wooden box, saluted the senior general, and said loudly: "Sir, Emmett, the second captain of the Hylanza Guard Battalion, has led five hundred guards battalion knights to report!" ”

The senior general, wearing the Order of the Marquis and the insignia of the Voljmara Legion on his chest, wore a crisp military uniform, and returned a military salute to Viscount Emmett.

The clerk beside him kept recording the numbers reported by Viscount Emmett, and from time to time raised his head to look at the knights standing aside, the knights were lined up in such a neat line that they could estimate the approximate number of people almost at a glance.

"I'm Felix. Koberm, Commander of the City Defense of the Vožmara Legion, I will be responsible for the deployment and combat deployment of your Knights of the Guard Battalion, and I will arrange a barracks for you to be stationed in a moment. Commander Felix introduced himself.

Then he said: "Now the city of Vłjmara is in some chaos, and the knights of various parts of the reinforcements are stationed one after another, and if there is anything to be coordinated, they can come to me directly, or they can appeal to my clerk. ”

He glanced at the Knights of the Guard Battalion of Highlandsa and said to Viscount Emmett: "Captain Emmett, the situation in the city of Volzhmara is not very optimistic now, the forward battalion of the Hellhound Legion has rushed to the city, your knights have no time to rest, immediately go to the east wall, the garrison over there has been fighting hard for a week, they need to withdraw from the city and rest for the night!" ”

Viscount Emmett stood up straight and said loudly to Commander Felix: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander Felix, I promise to complete the mission!" ”

After receiving the task, Viscount Emmett shouted to the knights standing in the square: "Knights of the Haylantha Guard Battalion, follow me and me to guard the eastern wall. ”

He directly led the Knights of the Haylanza Guard Battalion to the eastern wall of Vorimara.

When they walked out of the square, a group of knights carrying wooden boxes appeared in the square, and they were also quickly assembled in the same way, a group of knights from the Haylanza City Guard Battalion quickly rushed to the eastern part of the city along the streets of the city of Warzhmara, some coachmen drove the flatbed carriages to move the supplies out of the central square of the city, the square seemed to be very chaotic, and in the quarantine area outside the square, many citizens carrying large bags and small bags gathered there, as if they were waiting to leave the city.

Surdak could feel the danger gradually approaching from the anxious eyes of these citizens, and there were bursts of shouts of killing in the distance, and almost all the knights gradually entered a state of excitement in battle, and everyone's pace was unconsciously speeding up, and they were running towards the war zone where the city wall was located.

……

The forests below the city are constantly gushing with dark-skinned hellhounds of hot lava......

Andrew leaned the big axe in his hand against the edge of the city wall, spit at the city, rubbed his sore arm, and helped his companions to throw the body of a hellhound at the head of the city under the inner city wall.

Just repelled a wave of hellhounds, Andrew felt his muscles twitching constantly, this is a warning before muscle overfatigue, if he doesn't rest, maybe soon his hands and feet will cramp, he and a comrade sat back to back on the city wall, taking the opportunity to rest for a while.

Andrew has been stationed on the north city wall for seven days in a row, these days he is almost tired and huddles in the corner of the wall and falls asleep, after being woken up by the battle, he picks up his weapon and rushes up is a hard fight, the hellhound has amazing physical strength, almost relying on claws and fangs to fight, the city wall of more than twenty meters is not high for them, just a short distance run, the claws scratch the wall a few times can easily climb the city wall.

A few hellhounds that had crossed the city walls were mixed up with the reserve regiment under the city, and the young recruits looked okay, but when they fought, they found that they could hardly do anything except cry dad and call mother!

Hellhounds are still gathering under the city, they are waiting for the next wave of charges, and a small number of Hellhounds rush up from under the city, and can only deliver food to the city guards, so they gather in a large wave every time before they will rush to the top of the city like a tidal wave.

Not far away, the crossbowman on the bed on the arrow tower also rested beside the bed crossbow, and when he saw Andrew looking over, he waved his hand weakly, indicating that he was still alive.

Andrew didn't know how long he could last, maybe the next moment he would be pounced on by a hellhound and bite his throat, he hoped that the city defense command could send reinforcements to this section of the city wall as soon as possible, but this idea had been generated for several days, except for those useless reserve regiments under the city, the city defense command post had not even sent a hair.

He was a native descendant of the city of Warjmara, and he couldn't pack his bags and return to Roland like the rest of the city.

Because this is his home, unless he wants to go into the mountains and continue to live a primitive and backward tribal life, but an indigenous descendant like him has long forgotten the survival skills in the wild, so he has to defend this city.

He took a piece of tobacco from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, the bitter taste made him feel much clearer, and in an instant he rushed to the danger approach, Andrew didn't even need to get close to the battlement, his instinct told him that the hellhounds under the city rushed to the top of the city again.

Sure enough, a hellhound poked its head out from outside the battlement, Andrew picked up the giant axe and rushed up without hesitation to slash at the calf-sized hellhound, an axe slashed on the top of the vicious dog's head, but the head of the vicious dog was far harder than he imagined, after receiving a heavy axe, the hellhound actually bit Andrew's wrist back, and Andrew hurriedly took the giant axe back.

The companion behind him stabbed a spear in time, stabbing it into the throat of the hellhound with great precision, and before the two of them could rejoice that they had joined forces to kill a hellhound again, another hellhound climbed up to the top of the city, and several hellhounds rushed up to the city with crossbow arrows.

Andrew clenched the big axe in front with both hands, and under the flying blade of the axe, several hellhounds did not dare to approach easily.

It's just that the number of hellhounds rushing to the head of the city is a bit large, a few steps away, a guard who has been fighting with him for seven days was pounced on by a hellhound, and before Andrew could rush up and rescue him from the hellhound, several hellhounds took the opportunity to surround him and tore the guard in bronze armor to pieces.

Seeing that the city wall on his side was about to be attacked by the hellhounds, Andrew let out a loud roar, cut down the hellhounds that pounced in front of him, and rushed towards the hellhounds.

Fierce battles were fought everywhere on the walls, and the bed crossbowmen on the arrow tower could only aim their bed crossbows at the densest areas of the hellhound to shoot giant crossbow arrows.

The spear in the hand of the companion behind Andrew was bitten by a hellhound drilled out of the diagonal down, and when he was fighting for the spear, his footsteps were slightly unsteady, and his companion was dragged to the ground by the hellhound and the two hellhounds tried to drag him back, Andrew saw that his companion was still holding the spear, and he was so angry that he scolded: "Fool, hurry up and let go of Lao Tzu......"

The companion quickly let go of his hand, allowing the two hellhounds to bite their spears and retreat.

Immediately after that, two more vicious dogs took the opportunity to pounce, Andrew knew that his companion had lost his weapon and needed time to find a weapon from the weapon rack behind the city wall, so he stepped forward without hesitation, and stopped a hellhound with a giant axe in his hand, he knocked off the sharp canine teeth of a hellhound with the axe blade, but he didn't expect this hellhound to be extremely fierce, and he was afraid of death to let the axe blade cut a hole in its skull. on the legs.

Andrew only felt a blackness in front of him, and a huge force came from his legs. Two bloody holes were cut in the leg by the hellhounds.

With a loud shout, he sliced off the jaw of the hellhound with an axe, and dragged his injured leg back two steps in pain.

There were several guards beside him who were pounced on by the hellhounds, and the chief Duan on the city wall had already blown the retreat whistle, but he was a little inconvenient to move, and fell behind, looking at the hellhounds that kept pouring up under the city, the hellhounds on the city wall gathered more and more, and some hellhounds rushed into the city, Andrew was worried that these hellhounds would follow and kill all the way from the city wall.

He used his body to block a hellhound chasing at the front, and raised the giant axe to slash down hard, so as to create time for his companions to reorganize the defense line, but the dead-eyed companion saw that he fell into the hellhound group, and he was not ready to retreat and shrink the defense line, but actually used a large round shield in his hand to resist the bite of the hellhound, trying to drag him away from the claws of the hellhound.

"Let go of me! Stupid, get out of the way" At the critical moment, Andrew scolded his long-time companion.

"You want me to raise a son for you, go dream!" The companion also replied unceremoniously.

The claws of the two Cerberus stepped on his companion's shield at the same time, and Andrew only felt that his eyes were dark, and he saw a Cerberus open its bloody mouth and bite at his head, and the only thing he could do was to swing the giant axe in his hand.

"Heh......"

At the moment of life and death, Andrew seemed to see the giant axe in his hand turn into a white line, and an inexplicable reckless aura poured into his body, but he didn't expect that he actually comprehended the 'Berserker Soul' when he was dying, and his eyes were blood-red staring at a group of hellhounds with dark circles under his eyes.

It's too late!

The hellhound that pressed on him was cleaved by his axe, and several vicious dogs rushed up, opened their bloody mouths and bit his arm, and the wet tongue of a vicious dog almost landed on his face, and he saw the fangs on his eyelids very clearly, as if they were going to bite his head apart in the next second.

Suddenly, a thick long sword pierced the head of the hellhound, and the foul smell of purple blood splashed on his face.

Surdak stepped over Andrew, carrying the Craftsman's Sword in one hand and the Dwarven Chain Shield in the other, and the shield slammed into the jaw of the other Hellhound, and the Craftsman's Sword stabbed into the throat of the Hellhound.
