Volume 1 The Storm Chapter 34 The Difficult Battle (I)

The first wall was lost after holding out for a day and a night, and a sea of monsters engulfed it. The remaining troops, under the cover of fire from the rear troops, retreated to the second wall.

In order to guarantee the second wall

The gates would not be breached by the retreat of the troops, and some of the troops spontaneously formed the Broken Rear Army.

The crumbling walls were dyed black and red, the shattered armor was in flames, and the broken bodies were scattered all around, where the flag of the kingdom of Rothier stood diagonally.

Fellianvinoer stayed in the watchtower for almost the whole day, observing the battle situation, ready to respond to emergencies. At this time, her eyes were red and bloodshot, her hair was scattered, and some of them stuck to her face without scruples.

The defenders had already undergone a change of guard, and everyone was tired and powerless. The beast tide is still constantly attacking, as if tireless.

It was a battle that was destined to be difficult, but they had no way back. Although there are several fortresses in the rear, it is obvious that once this place cannot be held, then the rear will definitely not be able to resist it.

For this reason, the troops stationed in the rear fortress came here one after another with supplies. But the participation of a few thousand people is still a drop in the bucket.

The losses of the Steam Armored Knights were particularly heavy Attrition was taking place almost all the time, and this attrition was almost impossible to compensate. Some elite infantry had been asked to wear light steam armor to act as vanguards, and casualties increased once again.

The hospital in the fortress was almost full of wounded, and the paramedics were tired of coping with the situation. Even some inconsistency logisticians were assigned to the medical team.

There were not enough beds, so they had to set up tents outside, and then spread a wooden board and white sheets to serve as beds for the lightly wounded.

Most of the seriously injured need to have their limbs amputated in the face of monsters. But the number of professional surgeons is limited, and some of the seriously injured can only be given morphos/phine to relieve their pain, and then pray that the Spirit Lord can protect these poor warriors and survive until the moment of surgery.

"How long will it take for reinforcements from the Holy Kingdom to arrive?" Felenvianoel asked hoarsely.

"Half a day." An officer reported.

"Inform the front-line troops that they are ready to abandon the second wall, enter the third, and detonate the bombs that fill the second wall. Tell the front-line troops to defend the third wall for me, even if there is only one person left. ”

"Yes, get your instructions on it now!"

As the radio transmitted Ferlenvinoer's order to the front line, the defenders began to retreat, and at the moment when the sea of monsters completely swallowed up the second wall, a violent explosion was generated, and the black sea was even cut in two.

The complex terrain created by the explosion slowed the monsters, and the regrouped firepower of the defenders began to suppress their advance. Still, it's a tough task to hold on for half a day.

"I hope your message is accurate."

"Please, please rest assured, Your Highness, I swear by the glory of my family and my life, and there is absolutely no falsehood!" The officer immediately stood in solemnity.

"I believe in you." Said in a slightly tired tone.

With that, Fellan Vanol left the watchtower to rest for a while, and then led the Snow Wolf Knights to the third wall to participate in the battle.

The train arrived at the Far North Station of the Kingdom of Rohir, a military railway station of the Kingdom of Rohir, with numerous freight trains reaching the back of the fortress.

At this time, some supplies and medical teams have already set off first. And the troops will need some time to reorganize.

Temporary barracks have been erected here. The troops supporting the kingdom of Rothil will be trained and assembled here for urgent training, and then they will rush to the front line.

We were the first to arrive. In addition to the Unified Order, there were several Knights of Battle, several artillery regiments, and an infantry division, and we carried a large number of heavy weapons.

The Trainers are veterans of the fortress garrison in the Kingdom of Rothier, and they will introduce us to the enemies of this battle, the strange things.

The situation at the front was critical, and after we had a better understanding of the situation, we boarded the return freight train to the fortress. Some of the seriously wounded were also transported here through these trains, so the cars were filled with bloodstains, the smell of blood, and the smell of medical alcohol.

A majestic structure soon appeared in the distance, and that was the Desperate Wall Fortress. It is more than ten meters high, blocking the entire valley.

It was shrouded in black and gray smoke. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the intensity of the battle.

Mushroom clouds appear and disappear continuously, and the cold wind blowing in front of you seems to be mixed with the smell of war.

The walls were crumbling by this time, and there were several gaps in the defensive line, and the defenders had to keep filling the gaps. The Steam Armored Knights were almost completely lost, and the defenders even had to put some of their soldiers in special armor to act as the front line of the line.

Today, in the age of steam, due to various factors, the defenders of the second city wall even have to form phalanxes to resist the impact of the beast tide.

Pinch Kafsky was a regimental commander of the garrison of the city walls, and before this beast tide, he had already experienced three beast tides, so he could be said to be an experienced veteran.

At this time, he was personally leading a squad of sappers to build improvised positions behind a squad of melee troops.

The walls were tens of meters wide, and the debris on the ground could be used as materials, enough for them to build several simple fortifications.

The chaotic battle situation caused almost all the troops to lose communication and had to fight on their own.

Pinch Kavsky gathered the remnants of several regiments around him, and here he reorganized them and formed a defensive line.

The troops in front were already somewhat precarious under the fierce onslaught.

The front section of such a position consisted of numerous steel spikes. Of course, it won't be a standard steel bar, just some vertical iron rods wrapped around some sharp objects. Behind the barbed wire fence is the steel barb, and below there is a section of improvised wall that has been quickly erected.

"Infantry into position!" Pinch Kafsky roared. A group of armed soldiers immediately came behind the wall.

"Melee troops enter position!" Several soldiers in armor, armed with huge shields and spears, came to the back of the wall as the last line of defense after the fortifications were breached.

"Grenade ready!" Pinch Kafsky continued to order.

"Grenade ready!" Several officers shouted, alerting the melee troops ahead and their own men.

The melee troops began to fight and retreat, and Kafsky saw the moment and gave the order to throw.

Instantaneous explosions continued one after another, causing the monster's attack to stop for the time being, and the heavily damaged melee troops immediately retreated.

The troops in the rear constantly threw grenades to cover their retreat. The troops came to the reserved passages.

Heavy machine gun fire, suppressing the monster's advance. The soldiers took advantage of this gap to block the passage in the defensive line.

"Loaded, bayonet! Everybody listen to my orders and fire again! ”

The infantrymen immediately checked their guns, pulled their bayonets out of their scabbards and placed them on their guns. Melee troops take deep breaths and regulate their strength, ready to respond to the onslaught of monsters.

A giant wolfbeast broke through the smoke and roared at the crowd. It had multiple wounds on its body, apparently from the grenade attack it had just received, but it was not fatal.

"Steady! Everyone, hold it down! Shoot only when you hear my command! ”

In the battle against the tide of beasts, many soldiers have been frightened, or simply numb, and when they see those monsters with their limbs facing the ground, they subconsciously want to shoot. However, it was stopped by the shouts of pinching Kafsky.

Still, there were soldiers with trembling hands, almost pulling the trigger.

The monster lunged over.

Melee troops don't need to be commanded, these elite soldiers stand side by side in a line, their spears filled with a deadly chill.

Some of the monsters crashed into the fortifications and were cut by sharp objects on them; Some monsters leaped over the fortifications, but were impaled by the spear forest. Unwillingly, they swung their claws, adding scratch after scratch to the defenders' shields.

The soldiers of the melee unit roared, trying their best to hold the line.

"Shoot!" Pinch Kavsky shouted, and then the whistle was blown, and the infantry began to fire in sequence, forming an uninterrupted network of fire.

A monster crashed through the melee troops, rushed into the infantry ranks, and instantly tore several soldiers apart, while the surrounding soldiers gathered manpower in the reminder of the veteran, and several bayonets pierced the broken wound and pierced the eyes, and finally eliminated the monster.

The line of defense went from neat to chaotic. Orders no longer work at this point, and everyone has to fight on their own. The gunfire had ceased to sound, and the soldiers formed small phalanxes and fought the monsters with bayonets and sapper shovels.

The roars and screams of people mingled with the roars of monsters.

The front line of the city wall was completely lost, several shooting fortresses were climbed by monsters, and the soldiers struggled to resist the black sea. But it is still accelerating backwards and is submerged.

The Snow Wolf Knights came to the second wall at this most critical moment, and they advanced silently, and with their leader, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Rothschild Kingdom, Felian Vinoel stabbed like a sharp knife into the black sea.

The decadent momentum of the defenders was invigorated, and the soldiers who were still capable of fighting followed the Snow Wolf Knights and rushed forward. All of a sudden, the black ocean even went backwards.

Felianverneol's armor was already full of scratches, and it looked extremely hideous. But she didn't retreat, still dragging her body forward. Men were constantly falling to her side, and soldiers were constantly blocking deadly attacks for her. Blood stained her armor, but she couldn't hesitate.

Even if she was only a fifteen-year-old girl, she now carried the morale of the entire fortress on her shoulders. In the face of the unprecedented impact of the beast tide, she couldn't retreat, let alone hesitate.

The soldiers went crazy, Her Royal Highness the princess rushed to the front, how could they be scared and run away? Some soldiers even pushed their artillery forward, shelling the monsters at close range.

However, manpower has a limit after all, and after pushing the beast tide down the city wall, everyone felt extremely tired.

Ferenvirnoel gasped for breath and was even a little dizzy, and had to bite her tongue to force herself up under the stimulation of pain and the smell of blood.
