Chapter 89: The situation began to reverse from this moment
"Grandpa, all the losses of these days are back!" Netley Ian dismantled the corpse of a Hero World class and said excitedly: "The South Gate Fortress is in our hands, and we will support the base camp in the rear in the future, I see which of them dares to grind." ”
Netray wasn't as easy as Netleyan, and he always felt that something wasn't right.
It is not the heroes who are in charge of the South Gate Fortress, the mages left behind by the heroes of the cemetery clan, and with the intelligence of the mages, they will not make such a mentally retarded decision as abandoning the city walls.
But the other party made this decision, abandoning the city wall and fighting in the streets with their dark coalition army.
Although the current situation is that the opponent has a geographical advantage, they do not have an advantage in numbers, and losing the walls will allow more dark creatures to enter the city.
Didn't they think about it?
It's not possible that every mage isn't stupid, because stupid can't be a mage.
And the mages of the cemetery clan have gone through his previous investigations, and each mage will inherit the wisdom of the previous mages.
The way they get magic is different from their witchcraft, the mage inheritance of the mages of the cemetery group, after they come out, they will receive the initiation of Daigo, and the cemetery did the magic shed by other mages before the creation of the city.
At the same time, you will also gain various memory experiences left by those mages.
Therefore, the cemetery mage is not only a mage, but also a group, and the cemetery is something that has been passed down for countless years.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that their choice was not normal.
"Report!"
While Netre was struggling, an orc warrior hurried in from outside.
Before he could run to him, he shouted loudly: "My lord, something big is wrong, and a large number of skeleton soldiers appear outside." ”
Knightley appeared in front of the soldier for a moment: "Calm down, speak clearly. ”
The orc soldier immediately stopped, panting and said, "I am the soldier who stayed behind, and I just glanced back and found that a large number of skeleton soldiers were rushing towards this side, and they were already fighting with the soldiers who were injured outside and were preparing to retreat. ”
"There are very large numbers, and their banners are the same as those on the city walls."
"Good!" Knightley said to Netley, "You are in charge of commanding the front, and I will go back and take a look." ”
They were about a mile from the city walls, and the army of darkness was fully committed to the city, and there were not many soldiers left on the walls.
Most of the orc soldiers in the rear were too badly wounded to continue the fight, and had to retreat from the front line as a last resort.
Kill enemy creatures, especially the Hero World class, and they can gain extra double experience.
For these troops, this is equivalent to coming to heaven, where they can quickly improve their strength and strengthen themselves.
They won't back down until they have to.
Netre flew back to the gate tower, and as soon as he stopped, he was locked by the psychic force, looking in the direction that locked him.
I saw 20 corpse witches floating in the air, and although their momentum was not as strong as his, it was not much weaker.
This is the ninth-order class of the Cemetery Clan, the Corpse Witch.
The last time we met, these corpse witches didn't have such a strong momentum, and now these corpse witches are weaker than him, but they are not much weaker.
"It seems that the Minotaur and other dark races have been wiped out by you."
Netre couldn't believe it, but had to face it.
"How could we be here without destroying them?" Yu Cheng's hoarse voice came from downstairs at the city gate, which was already occupied by skeleton soldiers.
The orc warriors who were originally here wanted to close the city gate and were directly killed by the Yin Spirit, how could the already seriously injured orc warrior fight with the Yin Soul who was in full state.
"I'll be back in time."
Yu Cheng didn't look up, as if he was talking to the city gate: "I don't know if you have heard a sentence, close the door and beat the dog, does this scene look like now?" ”
Netre's expression became extremely ugly, but thinking of the about 15,000 dark creatures in the city, he sneered and said, "Our dark alliance army has 20,000 troops here. ”
"Just those usual skeleton soldiers, as well as these crooked melons and cracked dates under your command, just want to win against us?"
Although the city gate has fallen into the hands of the skeleton soldiers, Netre is not afraid, and now the armies on both sides, you have me, and I have you.
It is impossible for Yu Cheng to cast a terrifying doomsday magic.
It wasn't just the Dark Coalition that was destroyed, but all the armies under Yu Cheng's command as well.
At the same time, he secretly issued an order to the outside of the city, ordering the Kodo Beast Legion to rush over.
The Kodo Beast Legion has a layer of witchcraft around it, and it is difficult for other races to find them except for the orc shamans.
On weekdays, as long as they don't want to show it, they can be in a state of stealth and go to other places to eat leisurely.
That's what Netre is all about.
Let these skeletons in, and when the time comes, seal the gates with Kodo beasts, unite the dark army in the city, and destroy the great trouble in his heart with a double-sided attack.
"Then wait and see!"
As Yu Cheng spoke to Netre, an army of skeletons walked through the corpse-strewn gates.
Netre also uses psychic magic to tell the dark coalition inside to get ready.
He couldn't leave the city gates now, and the 20 corpse witches were staring at him tightly, waiting for him to turn around and reveal his flaws.
The duel between mages is very terrifying, and if you don't pay attention, you can lose everything.
So there is caution between both sides.
Yu Chengcheng did not have such concerns, and rode his horse into the city, and the Nancheng District, which was not in a good situation, was even more dilapidated at this time, a large number of houses were destroyed, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
There are corpses everywhere, skeletons, greenskins, and other races.
The corpses on the ground showed what a brutal war had been fought here.
Both sides are fighting hard and there is no retreat.
He also saw several heroic banners fall to the ground, and in situations like this, only when the hero is defeated, he will be placed on the ground, or cut down by the enemy.
This means that several heroes have been brought back to the Land of Heroes.
"Don't worry, I'll let these dark creatures pay for their blood."
Pick up the hero's banner that has landed on the ground, put it in the hero's storage space, and return the banner to the hero when the battle is over.
The skeleton army rushed in, and 1,000 skeleton soldiers rushed to the city wall to deal with the orc soldiers left behind on the wall.
The remaining 6,000 skeleton soldiers followed Yu Cheng and rushed to the battlefield where the sound of fighting was soaring.
At the forefront of the defenders of the Dark Alliance's Halo South Gate Fortress, zombies and undead creatures from the unknown world are constantly colliding with skeleton soldiers, and green-skinned orcs are fighting with other hero classes on the left and right.
Whoosh...
The archers were still fighting tenaciously, and the dark creatures shot above the city before they entered it.
After the dark creatures entered the city, they retreated again and again with the melee troops, but the bows in their hands did not stop, and they kept shooting the dark creatures that rushed towards them.
Many archers' tiger mouths were split open and bleeding, their arms were sore, and the fighting spirit in their bodies was close to nothing.
Everyone was holding up, but it was the skeletons who were shocked by the shock, and they hated fighting with the skeletons, but on the battlefield they found the skeletons to be their most trustworthy comrades.
Skeletons are always in the most dangerous and fierce places, and when they retreat, they are behind the temple, and when they push forward, they rush to the front.
It shocked these classes, and at the same time felt a lot less disgust in their hearts.
There was another reason for them to hold on, and that was that they would never allow themselves to be better than the skeletons.
In the ranking of some classes in the world of heroes, skeletons are only intermediate soldiers, and the strongest are pikemen and centaur warriors.
Seeing that the skeleton soldiers are still fighting, how can they fall, as they are stronger than the skeleton soldiers!
Many of the troops have fought on faith until now, and as the battle dragged on, many had begun to struggle to continue fighting.
They fought for too long.
There are so many dark creatures that the first group dies and the latter one follows.
There are so many defenders in the city, and the heroes have already gone to the battlefield with weapons and fought in person.
Now they no longer hold out the hope of reinforcements coming, and what they are thinking about is how to kill a few more enemies, how to hold out a little longer.
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Netleyan received the news from his grandfather and immediately sent orders to the top of the Dark Alliance.
Launch the final general attack.
Before the skeletons from outside the city arrived, or at least not let the skeletons from outside the city gather with their only skeleton army in the inner city.
If the two armies were brought together, wouldn't all the sacrifices they had made before be in vain?
The Dark Coalition has launched an even more intense offensive.
"Deputy Alliance Leader, I can't bear it!"
A Terran hero panted and said to Lin Ya, "I'll retreat first, and they'll be handed over to you." ”
The hero was covered in scars, and the army was left with only a few archers and a pikeman in the rear.
Saying that, the hero handed over the possession of the bow and arrow shooting to Lin Ya, and rushed into the dark creatures with the remaining pikemen.
With a few slashes, the mutant zombie's claws pierced into its body, and then disappeared.
Heroes can't be killed, it's just that the pain isn't immune.
The heroes around Lin Ya disappeared one after another, and in the end, she was left alone as a hero, with all the archers behind her.
The other heroes of each clan give her control of the ranged class, so that they can return to the hero world directly after losing the battle.
They are not afraid of Lin Ya after the battle, return the army to them, everyone signs a contract, and they belong to the same alliance, so they will not do such a thing.
Watching the heroes disappear one by one, Lin Ya felt sad, and that feeling made her heart panic.
She was tempted to ask the Corpse Witch, what about the reinforcements you were talking about? The leader of the alliance you said will come.
It is also said that they are the only winners in this battle.
Look at the boundless Dark Alliance outside, so many dark creatures, how could they possibly win?
As if sensing Lin Ya's resentment, the corpse witch who had been directing the skeleton soldiers to fight opened his eyes and floated into the air.
"All the troops of the South Gate Alliance obey the order, attack, and kill out."
"Alliance leader, take the skeleton army to kill from the outside in, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and together destroy the dark creatures."
After speaking, the corpse witch fell to Lin Ya's side: "City Lord Lin, the master has returned, and he needs our help."
I want to lead my army out of the dark creatures and connect with the troops outside.
Skeletons don't have explosive power, so allowing them to fight the dark creatures continuously, and it can also allow them to burst out of power for a short period of time, killing a gap in the dark army, which is impossible.
I need your help. ”
"Help?" Lin Ya was happy and extremely angry at the same time: "Look at our surroundings, who can still kill us?" Melee forces were dealt a near-devastating blow.
The most troops we have at our disposal are ranged troops, as well as flying troops.
How can you let us help?
If he had come back earlier, we could have helped him, but for now, please forgive us for not being able to do anything. ”
There are only about a hundred first-order soldiers left in the surrounding hero cities, and most of them are still in a state of serious injury.
The most left are archers, but how much combat power can be left of these ranged units from the morning to now?
The corpse witch was silent for a while, the battle was too brutal, and the two sides were relatively calm except for the first hour of the battle.
However, after they abandoned the city walls, the street battles in the city were in a fierce collision from beginning to end.
For every street, every building, they are fighting desperately, they are fighting desperately.
Every inch of land counts.
Now the number of armies in the hands of the heroes is pitiful.
Of the 3,000 skeletons, only about 1,200 remained.
This shows how tragic the battle was.
"I still have 15 centaur warriors!"
Sun Yunqing stood up, and behind him were 15 centaur warriors with the body of a horse: "After the previous elven heroes left, they left their troops to me, and now there are 15 centaur warriors left. ”
"Centaur warriors can break through the dark creatures blockade when they charge, but skeletons must catch up in time to withstand the dark creatures on either side."
"There's no problem with that." The Corpse Witch immediately agreed.
"I'll let the archers clear a clearing first, and then choose Suzaku Avenue as the breakthrough!"
Lin Ya suppressed the anger in her heart, this was their chance to turn the tables.
"Good!"
Suzaku Avenue is one of the four main roads of the gate fortress, namely Baihu Avenue (Beicheng District), Xuanwu Avenue (XC District), and Qinglong Avenue (DC District)
The width of each road reaches more than 24m, and it leads straight to the city gate area.
"You'll have to let them pick you up, or we'll be surrounded by dark creatures when we rush over." Lin Ya reminded.
The corpse witch closed his eyes and said, "The master has already led the army to the other side, only four hundred meters away from us, and I have recently sent a spiritual message." ”
Ten seconds later.
"The master has sent the Shade to assist us, and the centaurs are ready!"
Fifteen centaur warriors, armed with spears, skeletons grow a path.
Tata Tower....
The horses' hooves trampled on the stone slab with a crisp sound, and 15 centaur warriors galloped away, and in front of the centaur warriors were the green-skinned orcs, who were fighting the skeleton soldiers.
Suddenly, the skeleton soldier turned and fled backwards, so fast that before the orc could react, he saw the centaur warrior galloping towards him.
It's these centaurs again!
Burst!
The spear stabbed the orc in the neck, and the whole person flew backwards.
"Rush!"
Prepare a hundred skeletons in good condition and charge behind the centaur warriors.
The centaur warriors rampaged ahead, killing five or six greenskinned orcs, and the greenskinned orcs on either side tried to surround them, but the skeleton soldiers had already followed, fending off the orcs on either side.
The centaur warriors rushed forward desperately, but as their speed slowed down, they lost their impact, and they had to rely on their lives to rush forward.
A wound appeared on their body where bones could be seen, and none of the centaur warriors chose to retreat, ignoring the wound on their bodies and constantly waving their spears.
Even if it is death, they will die in the path of the charge.
These skeletons must not be allowed to be looked down upon!
The centaur warrior who rushed to the front finally fell to the ground with a heavy wound when he rushed into the enemy formation for about 50 meters.
The second centaur acted as a stormtrooper, and his injuries were not light, and the blood was still flowing, but no one chose to retreat.
That's their choice.
Go ahead.
Brush!
A black shadow flickered from a distance, and five or six orcs fell around, and the black spirits finally arrived at the battlefield.
They glanced at the centaur at the front, plunged headlong into the crowd of orcs, and with a wave of their sharp claws, four or five orc warriors fell immediately.
"Keep up with us."
Eight ghosts open the way in front and let them kill all these orcs, they can't do it, but they can still kill a passage in the orc army.
They only need to take charge of the enemy in front, with centaurs and skeletons on the left and right to help them stop, facing few enemies, and their strength is far weaker.
The orc warriors also received orders from the adults in the rear, and they were also desperately resisting and stopping, but the sharp claws of the Yin Soul turned them into cold corpses.
It's the leather armor made of the animal skins on their bodies, which is enough to choke on the arrows, not to mention the extremely sharp claws of the Yin Soul.
It's a claw that pierces through magical shields.
Lin Ya, who was in the rear, saw the Yin Ghost appear, and her anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
If you rely on the army in the hands of heroes alone, there is no possibility of breaking through the orc army formation.
There are so many orcs, it is impossible to watch you open a passage, and the orcs on the left and right sides can come over and kill the skeleton soldiers in the middle.
The reason why they were able to stop the orc army from attacking for so long was because of the location and the buildings in the city.
Otherwise, with the number of orc armies, they would have been swallowed up long ago.
Even so, the skeleton army on the other side could hardly withstand the siege of zombies and undead creatures at this time.
The most difficult things for the heroes present to deal with are zombies and undead creatures, the main two are like skeleton soldiers, they have endless physical strength, and when fighting, they are not afraid of death.
Except for skeletons, the number of other hero classes is too small to form a military formation, and they are not opponents of these two classes at all.
Skeletons are responsible for fending off the areas that attack the most, which is why skeleton losses are so high.
However, the situation began to turn around from this moment.
Yu Cheng rode his horse and rushed to the orc army formation, and with a wave of his long knife, he cut off the head of an orc warrior, a full-level skeleton soldier, like a tiger entering a flock.
Inside the city, Netleyan specially arranged the troops responsible for resisting the onslaught of the skeletons, which were destroyed by the skeletons in one fell swoop.
"Drive!"
The horses rushed up...
