1014. Out-of-control situation
The northern sky was a little overcast, with dark clouds, countless black clouds piled up, and the cloud layer was very low.
Electric snakes continued to light up in the clouds, and there was a faint rumbling of thunder.
Between the mountains north of Mukusuo City, the mountains are full of some cavemen with broken weapons, their bodies are only wrapped in tattered leather and armor pieces, and the weapons on their backs are also some broken copper and iron, due to the years of desolation underground, these cavemen's eyes have completely degenerated, turning into a fold on their foreheads.
They are very sensitive to heat and odors in the air. Although it does not have eyes, it can accurately identify the situation around the body.
In particular, they have a sensitive nose that gives them a very strong advantage in tracking, and they are not affected by day and night when fighting.
These cavemen are only about 1.5 meters tall, with a thick layer of crust growing on important parts of their bodies, smooth and hairless skin, and they should not have any sweat glands, and their mouths look extremely ugly.
Groups of Crypt People were as filthy as if they had just crawled out of a mud pit, gurgling with every breath.
Hundreds of cavemen emerged from the mountains, like countless streams that eventually merged into raging rivers.
Right next to them, you can see some demonic minions leading hellhounds down the avenue.
A slum town of tattered planks had appeared in front of them, and the Hellhounds at the front of the line had swooped down on the town, jumping onto the roofs of the huts and sniffing the town with their swarthy noses.
This is the most marginal satellite town in the northern part of the city, and almost all the people living here are the people living at the bottom of the city, who enter the city during the day to do the lowest jobs, and return to live in wooden shacks outside the city at night, and there are almost no nobles living here.
There's no one to keep the law and order here, and you're covered in mud and filth.
The thin wooden house was smashed by the tall hellhounds, and the old men and children who were hiding under the beds were dragged out of the wooden house, and the bloody maws opened and swallowed them into their stomachs, and the sound of 'creaking' and chewing bones almost made the inhabitants who tried to escape collapse into the muddy water.
Some of the men from the ghetto rushed out of their hiding places, carrying sticks and knives in their hands......
But they could not stop the Hellhound, which was as strong as a calf, and when the Hellhounds pounced on the people, they pressed their huge claws on their shoulders, stretched their bloody mouths to their necks, and cut their throats with their sharp teeth.
More and more people are being bitten to death by hellhounds.
The poor people, who were so naïve as to think that they could escape by hiding in their homes and not going out, finally proved their ideas wrong with their own lives.
There were no defenses left in the town, and soon the slum town fell completely.
……
A large number of Cryptmen came up from behind, not as swift as Hellhounds, but they had a sharper sense of smell, and a troop of five hundred Cavemen entered the farm.
They broke open the gates of the farm, climbed over the fence of the farm, trampled through the vegetable garden, and then stormed into the farm house.
The nobles tried to escape the catastrophe by hiding in the cellar beneath the manor building, the entrance to which had been bricked and covered with a thick layer of earth, but it did not stop the cavemen.
The cavemen followed the scent and rushed into the villa, and they began to dig frantically in front of and behind the house, they only had three claw-like fingers, and the nails on the fingers were as sharp as iron hooks, perfect for digging through the dirt.
The nobles, men, women and children of the manor were hidden in the cellars, and the cavemen dug up the cellars and the bloody killings were carried out in the cellars......
Although the nobles have weapons, they are useless in front of these cavemen who are not afraid of death.
A Cryptman pounced, followed by more Cryptmen, and then everyone piled up with the Cryptmen, who opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and hooked their claws deep into the flesh.
The dead nobles were eaten by the crypt men, who held up the bloody flesh and poured blood on their bodies as if they were worshipping priests, drawing strange symbols on their faces, chests, and shoulders!
The slums in the north of the city soon fell into the hands of the demon hell legions.
……
Surdak rode his horse to the north of Mukuso, and the mountains were full of fleeing refugees, including many of the routs of the First Legion of the Lord Army, all of them crowded into the city, followed by hellhounds, demon minions, and cryptmen, who followed behind the refugees.
These refugees have completely lost the courage to resist, and the Cryptmen's withered arms are deep enough to easily stab them in the back of their hearts with their claws......
In fact, these Cryptmen are far less powerful than Hellhounds, and their greatest characteristic is that they are ferocious and fearless of death, as if they were machines born to kill, and their killing is driven by instinct before they die completely.
When the guards at the head of Mukuso City saw these demon armies appear in the field of vision, the north gate, which was originally crowded with people, was forced to close with a loud click.
There was no moat outside the city, and those who had no chance to escape into the city threw themselves at the foot of the walls and wept.
Many more people looked desperately at the closed gates and fled decisively along the walls to the east and west.
Some people choose to go around the city and head south......
The defenders standing at the head of the city watched as the black wave rushed up from behind, engulfing these people little by little.
The Crypt Man's body became swollen and solid, and bone spurs and scales grew on the outside of the hard carapace, and the four branches became stronger......
The cavemen's withered hands were like claws, chasing them down the city and climbing up the walls with ease.
The guards standing on the top of the city wall picked up stones and threw them at the city, often killing a piece of the caveman if a huge stone fell.
However, there are so many of these cavemen that the place where the gap is smashed will be filled with more cavemen.
They occasionally open their bloody mouths, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth and a long tongue like a chameleon.
By the time the cavemen reached the middle of the stone wall, the guards at the head of the city began pouring fire oil down the city, then dropping their lighted torches downward.
The fire rattled the cryptmen, but they were covered in flames and climbed up in the black smoke.
The raging fire couldn't stop them from moving forward.
More hellhounds have gathered under the northern city wall, and these hellhounds can jump more than three meters high in one leap, scratching the stone wall of the city wall with sharp claws, and their bodies slam upward, and they can easily climb the fifteen-meter-high city wall.
The demonic minions gathered at the gates of the city, piled countless discarded blood-stained planks in the doorway, and allowed the gates to be burned to ashes with flames......
The outside of the northern city wall instantly became a purgatory.
The dark mages were huddled behind the large army, and they seemed reluctant to rush forward.
……
The battle at the northern wall soon caught the attention of Surdak, and countless refugees fled south bypassing the city of Mukuso.
Even the residents outside the southern part of the city began to flee in a panic, shouting that the army of hell was coming.
The mage regiment flew towards the north of the city on the magic handle, and when they saw the overwhelming demon army, they immediately brought the news back to the camp......
They came quickly, most of them surrounded the walls of Mukuso, and some of the hellhounds chased the hellhounds around the south of the city.
Surdak didn't expect the demon army to come so quickly, and he actually wanted to go one step faster than the armored infantry regiment, and surrounded the northern city wall of Mukusuo, and now seeing that the people outside the city were in a hurry, he immediately began to organize people.
Surdak, who had experience in fighting the hellhounds in the city of Wožmara on the maca plane, immediately left the camp with three regiments of heavy infantry and marched against the fleeing people, Surdak had the warriors line up in a sharp arrow formation, and he and Gulit were at the forefront of the arrows.
Quintas also followed with five hundred swordsmen in armor, and dozens of mages in the sky.
Surdak and his heavy infantry regiment set up a formation on the north side of the camp to buy time for the residents of the southernmost town of Mukuso to evacuate.
Some soldiers with flags stood on high places, guiding these people to continue to escape and not stop.
There were more than 100 horse-drawn carriages in the camp, and at this time, these carriages rushed to the urban refugee group, picked up the children, women and elderly people who couldn't run at all, and pulled the group of people to run south with the carriage.
With these warriors navigating the chaotic crowd and some wagons carrying people who couldn't run, the chaos in the slums outside the city became a little better.
"Lure those hellhounds over and kill as many ...... as you can"
The Archswordsman of Quintas followed with the Constructed Swordsmen, and Surdak whispered to the Archswordsman of Quintas.
Surdak's heavy infantry regiment rushed forward against the hellhounds that pounced on them, and the iris shield in his hand.
As long as the shield warrior blocks the Hellhound's momentum, the spear warrior behind will desperately stab the Paglio spear in his hand, and the hellhound seems to have little to do under this defensive formation of the shield wall.
However, there are also some large two-headed Hellhounds in the Hellhound group, and these two-headed Hellhounds can spit out some fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades, and the like.
The shield warrior can't stop these spells, and if he is hit, he will cause a certain amount of casualties.
However, there are still a lot of such two-headed hellhounds, and the great swordsmen of Quintas rushed forward with the constructed swordsmen, and the mage group in the sky specially dealt with this kind of hellhounds that can manipulate magic.
These constructed swordsmen have also become accustomed to cutting off their heads as trophies when they fight......
There was an army fighting the hellhounds here, and more people stranded outside the city were pouring towards the side of the army.
When they came, they also brought more hellhounds, and in the face of the fierce hellhounds, Surdak could only lead the heavy infantry regiment to gradually shrink the formation.
A shield wall was placed against the camp to keep these hellhounds at bay......
