1015. Friends from afar
Wizard Arvid stood on a wooden roof on the outskirts of the camp, speechless as he looked at the chaotic battlefield
The few old magicians he brought over looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and they didn't want to make a move, but the Hell Legion had begun to besiege the city, and Surdak's heavy infantry regiment was more embarrassed.
Whether to take the opportunity to attack the city or fight to the death with the army of Hell Legion outside the city, in the current situation, no choice is the wisest choice for Surdak.
If the Surdak Legion fights the Hell Legion to the death, it will invisibly help the lord army reduce the siege pressure.
However, at this time, if the enemy chooses to attack Mukuso City with the Hell Legion, not only will he be condemned by all sides, but I am afraid that in the process of attacking the city, he will also face the pressure of the Hell Legion, after all, it is impossible for the three parties to form an alliance, and judging from Surdak's strength, he is one of the weaker forces of the three parties.
So Surdak kept his army ten miles south of Mukuso and watched the situation.
Although there are also a large number of hellhounds following the southbound refugees, the pressure on the side of Mukuso City is naturally insignificant.
At least this side is hit by the hellhounds, and many times it is the end of a wave of attacks, and it can also give the fighters a little rest.
Many wagons are still in the slums, risking hellhounds to transport these refugees to safety in the south.
The gates of Mukuso were closed, and Surdak's motorcade gradually escorted the townspeople south.
More of the Crypt People gathered under the city, and instead of following the refugees south, their intentions were clear that they wanted to take the city of Mukuso in one fell swoop.
The situation in the city of Mukuso is precarious......
The siege of the Legions of Hell never stopped after it began, and the fighting on the city continued from morning to evening.
The corpses of the cavemen under the city had already piled up, and the corpses of the dead and wounded city guards on the city walls were also all over the city square, and the corpses were lying on the square wrapped in white cloths, from a few hundred in the morning, to four thousand at dusk.
The reason for the surge in the number of casualties was the large number of corpses of the Cryptmen below, which formed a human ladder that allowed more Cavemen and Hellhounds to easily storm the walls.
The supreme commander of the MacDonnell Lords' Army, Adler. Mcdonnell. The new Lord MacDonnell has only been in office for less than half a month, and just half a month ago, he led the First Legion north to crusade against the Dark Magic Hermitage entrenched in Acre Town, but before the First Legion could reach Acre Town, he encountered the Hell Legion from the north.
After three days of fierce fighting, the First Legion of the Lord's Army withdrew to the city of Mukuso.
On the first day of the withdrawal to the city of Mukuso, when the noble lords of the city of Mukuso expressed concern about the situation in the north, this Adler. MacDonnell was still patting his chest and telling the nobles that there were nearly 60,000 lord troops gathered in the city, and it would not be difficult to hold the city of Mukuso.
When the soldiers of the Demon Hell Legion came to the city, this Adler. Commander MacDonnell's tone changed, and he hoped that the noble lords in the city would come up with some supplies to help the lord army tide over the difficult situation.
The battle for the defense of Mukuso had only lasted for a day, and the city defense was almost crushed.
At Adler's behest, the remnants of the lord's army ascended to the top of the city to assist the city's defenders, who barely managed to hold the outer walls of Mukuso.
In just one day, the Crypt People gathered hundreds of thousands of troops under the city.
By night, the siege was not only about the northern walls, but also about the cavemen and hellhounds that had gathered beneath the eastern and western walls.
The siege pressure on the city defenders was three times higher than during the day, but for the Cryptmen, day and night, they could fight at night, and all three walls were in a hurry.
That night Adler. Lord MacDonnell gathered the noble lords in the city, and he asked the personal armed, adventure group soldiers, and mercenaries of the noble lords in the city to take turns to go to the top of the city to participate in the battle, and the specific deployment was determined by the city defense brigade.
Over the course of one night, the siege area spread to the southern wall.
It's just that the slums in the south are very extensive, and when many hell dogs arrive in the south of the city, they can't help but run to chase and kill the people who can't escape, and they don't form a siege in the south of the city.
Standing under the northern city walls, Adler. MacDonnell and a group of officers looked at the army of hell pouring out of the city, and their faces were worried.
Adler. MacDonnell knew that it wouldn't take much for the Hell Legion to form a siege, and then it would really have to defend the city of Mukuso, but how long could the city hold out in front of the Hell Legion without outside resources?
Troops and materials will face a huge test.
However, the continuous war in the past year has left the warehouses of Mukuso City without much supplies.
Adler. MacDonnell really wanted to go headlong off the wall so that he wouldn't have to worry so much.
Adler. MacDonnell's entourage has been persuading him: "My lord, you must plan early!" Once the South Gate is blocked by the Hell Legion, even if you want to run, you won't be able to run away. ”
……
At dawn, large areas of the slums of Southside have appeared with hellhounds and cavemen, looking for anything to eat.
The Great Swordsman of Quintas led the Constructed Swordsmen to fight fiercely for a day. At night, they dragged their tired bodies back to the camp, and almost everyone was so defeated that the heads of the hellhounds were thrown into the wooden boxes in front of the camp tent.
The swordsmen washed the blood off their bodies under the wooden bath walls they had set up on their deathbed, and Surdak emerged from the tent and asked the Grand Swordsman of Quintas to arrange for the constructed swordsmen to enter the healing tent one by one.
Regardless of whether he was injured or not, Surdak blessed each of the constructed swordsmen with the blessing of the gods.
The constructor swordsmen didn't expect Surdak to have such an operation.
The feeling of fullness that the physical strength was constantly infused into the body amazed the swordsmen.
The swordsmen were going to get some sleep and then go outside the camp to clean up the hellhounds......
……
After Surdak finished the blessing ceremony of the five hundred swordsmen, Archmage Morrison walked into the tent with a solemn face.
"The situation in Mukuso City is very bad, and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time, Dark, you also know that once Mukuso City is broken, the Ganbu Plane will most likely become a jump point for the Hell Legion." Archmage Morrison said worriedly.
The head of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Regiment stared at Surdak with a pair of golden eyes and continued:
"I'm going to go to Mukuso and have a good talk with the commander of the lord army over there, during this period, I hope that the Bena coalition army and the local lord army can temporarily put aside their contradictions and fight against the Hell Legion together."
Surdak thought for a moment and said, "At this time, we don't think there is any possibility of cooperation, after all, we have reached here from Bansk Town......"
Archmage Morrison said lightly: "I can come forward to talk, if it can't be negotiated, our mage group can only come to Mukuso's aid, after all, that is the main battlefield facing the Hell Legion." ”
"Although we can cooperate, I won't give up repairing the portal, and I'll wait for your news!"
Surdak smiled politely at Archmage Morrison and said.
Archmage Morrison turned to leave, leaving Surdak alone in the barracks tent.
He sat on a wooden box, thinking about how he could fight the Hell Legion, and at the same time complete the combat mission of the military headquarters, and turn the current difficult situation.
At present, although it seems that the situation in Mukuso has no impact on the legion, it is that the demon Hell Legion has not noticed the heavy infantry legion of Surdak, once it is noticed by the Hell Legion, as long as those massive cryptmen and hellhounds rush up, it is still unknown how long the legion can hold out.
He patted his forehead, but unfortunately Issel couldn't be contacted, and he didn't know what the red dragon was doing.
Aphrodite had already rushed to Puss Mountain as fast as he could.
At this time, he felt that something was burning his chest, and he looked down and groped for it, only to find that the phalanx had become slightly hot.
He took the phalange off the side of the lucid pendant and put it to his lips and blew it.
Blood-colored runes drilled out of the finger bones, forming a blood-colored magic pattern circle at Surdak's feet, and a blood-colored gate appeared in the center of this magic pattern circle, and the blood-colored gate full of various terrifying reliefs was pushed open by a big pale hand.
The wind roared inside the gate, and countless big bony hands stretched out from the inside of the gate, and those hands grabbed the edge of the gate as if they were about to get out of it.
Count Fornak came out of the door in a decent black gown, closed the blood-colored door casually, walked up gracefully to Surdak, sat down on the only chair in the tent, and said with a smile:
"Dark, long time no see! It's not easy to wait for you to invite me to afternoon tea......"
"Hello, Count Fornack!" Surdak stood up and said.
He wanted to pour Count Fornack a cup of tea, but the teapot in the tent had already cooled.
"Looks like you're in a little trouble......"
Count Fornak had a faint smile on his face, but his face looked like it had been smeared with a thick layer of plaster.
"It's true that you've encountered a lot of trouble, is everything going well on your side?" Surdak said calmly.
Count Fornak nodded and said, "I just recently annexed a piece of land, and I have a small corner in the ghost realm. ”
"That's pretty good......" Surdak said.
"That's the world of the jungle, it's very pure, the weak have to survive, and the strong have to keep swallowing up other weak ones, making themselves stronger, and you can't stop for a moment, because once you stop, you don't know who will take the opportunity to surpass it, think about it, I really miss the days of being a nobleman in the city of Highland...... Now only by talking to you can these memories not be erased from memory, and can I occasionally remember the past. Count Fornak said with emotion.
Surdak said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to invite you to tea all this time!" ”
"What is there to apologize for, it's still the same sentence, if you need help, just ask." Count Fornak looked at the night outside the tent and said with a smile to Surdak.
