The battle continued, and the flames of war spread to every corner of the city of Chessem, and the women and children wept out of fear with every loud sound of the collapse of the walls.
"This is our last position, Templar Light, and I hope the coalition forces arrive before dark, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for much longer. β
Abdul-Jabbar and Paladin retreated to the inner city, where they met a dusty Tarrens, who spoke worriedly. The originally bright silver-white breastplate on his body has become dull at this moment, this must be the most desperate moment of human beings, Abdul-Jabbar thought so, but he didn't dare to say it.
The giant beast was pounding the city wall, and the one-eyed beast grabbed a thick wooden stick and swung it, slamming it into the inner city gate of Chesem, each blow with a powerful and savage force, smashing the originally strong city gate into a clattering sound, and dust continued to fall from above the city gate, obviously, if this continued, the inner city would not be able to hold on for long.
Fortunately, the launch platform above the inner city had not been destroyed, and the sappers continued to sweat and load the giant crossbows, and soaked the arrows with tar, lit them with torches, and turned the giant crossbows more than two meters long into fire ballistae, and shot them at the biggest targets on the battlefield.
Judging from the current situation, these flaming giant crossbows were the only weapons to kill the one-eyed beasts, and the bows and arrows were so weak that they could not even penetrate their skin.
"Abdul-Jabbar, you go down with me, the northern gate is about to be breached, the inner city cannot be lost, my knights are waiting there, for the final battle." β
Overhead, the giant crossbow galloped, sporadic arrows swept across the sky, leaving behind thick black smoke, and the knight chief Leo did not know when he ran to the inner city tower and found Jabbar, or rather, he just wanted to find every man who could take up arms, go to the city gates, and meet the onslaught of those beasts.
The blood of the orcs just now had dried on their bodies, leaving deep blood stains and a strong smell of blood, but Jabbar had no time to care about these at the moment, and trotted down the inner city wall with Leo, and on the Eagle Banner Avenue, a group of human knights in gorgeous armor were already fully armed, standing under the city gate, ready to meet the orc army that would be like a black tide in the next moment.
......
Boom, boom, boom.
The inner gates trembled under the impact of the one-eyed beasts, and the falling dust was a sign that the last gates were about to be breached. The orcs roar behind the door, the undead are crying, the knights are clenching their swords, and the final battle has begun!
"Brothers, today we will stain the city with blood and shed tears on the earth. β
With the last roar of the Knights' leader, Leo, the city gate collapsed, and thousands of orc warriors suddenly poured in like mad beasts, and the black water flood that broke the embankment poured into the city of Chetham in an instant.
"Courage and honor. β
In the final position, the Knights erected their steel shields on their chests, their ornate white steel helmets reflecting the last rays of sunlight. The next moment, countless orc warriors roared and pounced on this shield wall......
"Roar, roar, roar. β
Then there was only bloody hand-to-hand combat, comrades-in-arms, brothers, enemies, mixed together, white steel helmet against black plate armor, human sword against orc battle axe, beast roar, knight fortitude, from the city wall, Chetham Eagle Banner Boulevard, full of black and white mixed crowds, beasts.
The scenes that Abdul-Jabbar couldn't see in the movie in his previous life are seen today, there is not so much tenderness and impassionedness, there is only the mutual slaughter of savage and violence, knights and orcs wrestle with each other, the one-eyed giant beast rushes in, wielding a giant hammer to wave the human soldiers in front of him into the air, no matter how strong the knight needs a giant beast, he can no longer get up, on the scene, there is only blood, roaring, wailing, corpses everywhere, blood everywhere, almost every step, it is blood, all blood, the blood of orcs and the blood of humans, dyeing the entire Eagle Banner Avenue into a sea of redγ
It's too brutal, it's too bloody.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Abdul-Jabbar could barely say a word, and the turbid air was like a demon's wings, holding himself tightly, and even breathing became difficult. Here, there is only blood swaying, heroic tears.
"How many of us are left?"
Tarence came down from the tower, fought his way out, found Jabbar, and shouted.
"There's not much left, it's all scattered in the castle and the streets, and there are more orcs than we do. β
Wielding a battle axe and slashing the neck of a black orc in front of him, Jabbar responded with a roar. The power of the elements converges around him, the fire element, the ice element, the power of the earth, the power of the wind, even the orc veterans who have been fighting for many years have never seen so many elements converge on an orc at the same time, as long as Jabbar swings every time, the flame element will incinerate the enemy in front of him, the power of the wind makes each blow more powerful, and the power of the earth surrounds Abdul-Jabbar like a shield wall, and all the swords that are chopped up are dissolved by the earth element, and the strength becomes smaller. Despite this, the battle until now, Jabbar is scarred and cannot deal with thousands of orcs alone.
The priests tried their best to sing the last battle song, the knights fell one by one, those elites of the empire, under the bloody sun, completed their glorious mission, legend has it that every fallen knight will become the soul of the Templar, Jabbar doesn't know if it's true, but the scene in front of him is really moving.
"General, the orcs have entered the city!"
A hurried announcement reached Tarence's ears, and the news was fatal for Tarence, because his family, his brothers and sisters, were all in the city!
"Come a few people, rush back with me and protect the civilians. β
Finally, Jabbar saw that even the defender of Chesem could not do anything, and the sword in his hand waved weakly, trying to carve a way to save his family, he was covered in blood, his face was tired, but his eyes revealed determination and resentment. In fact, the soldiers rushed back after him, to no avail, and the streets of Chessem were already full of fighting, wailing, and bloodshed.
In the dark hour, the black orc army poured into every street of the city, and innocent civilians were slaughtered, and the knight chief Leo organized the last civilians and orc invaders to engage in street battles in the streets and alleys, although each orc warrior killed had to pay the price of killing and wounding a dozen human civilians. But they were still fighting, in the dark night.
......
Darkness, darkness, until the first elven horn sounded in the sky.
"Aishara, you lead the cavalry through the northern gate, and I will take the rest of the men through the eastern gap. β
The first rays of fish belly appeared in the sky, and in that faint light, Archmage Azhara was leading the Northern Coalition from Castros. After a brief meeting between Arthur, the elven lord of the north, and his old friend Essara, the elven and human coalition forces separated at a rapid pace, forming two flowing battle lines, and Eshara led the human elven cavalry to quickly circle the rear and charge from the north gate of Chetsum, which had fallen, while Arthur poured in with the rest of the army from the east, the gate with the most orcs.
"Eshara Kumai Mukhan?"
When familiar faces appeared in front of Abdul-Jabbar, it felt like a person coming out of the mire of the abyss to see the sun, warm and gratifying. It turns out that everyone hasn't abandoned themselves yet, but the time has not yet come, and it has not yet appeared.
"Brothers of the Northern Alliance, charge at the enemy, and the light of dawn will envelop you, bathing in the blood of the enemy. β
Aishara took the lead, the wooden staff in his hand glowed with infinite light, and where the war horse galloped, phantoms gradually appeared, and each phantom was doing the same action, releasing a shock wave of light and shadow. The orc infantry couldn't get close, because they were too dazzling.
And the human elven knight who followed the archmage charging also blindfolded his war horse to prevent being blinded by this dazzling light.
In the next moment, more than a dozen light and shadow shockwaves were released at the same time, and the strong orc legion suddenly collapsed, and the knights behind Aishara picked up their spears and rushed into the orc black tide without hesitation.
Viewed from the air, it was like a glittering silver light rushing into the black waves, tearing a deep hole in the dark army!
