Chapter 103: The Inheritance of Hope

The catapult fired stones tirelessly, but this time it was not as effective as before. Heavily armored warriors were at the front, holding tall shields, moving slowly but also approaching the walls.

"Captain, there are heavy armor soldiers on the other side, and they can't move at all!" One soldier found that the stone hitting the heavy armor's shield did not work at all.

"These hateful bastards. "The captain of the detachment is also anxious, there is no way, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and now the heavy armor soldiers are still far away from the city wall, and it has no effect on them.

However, just as the commander of the detachment was about to give the order to retract the catapult, the cavalry that had been waiting in the sky for a long time reappeared. Several soldiers who had been paying attention to the sky were startled and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack in the sky, everyone pay attention, hide, pay attention to concealment!"

The soldiers also noticed the anomaly in the sky and stepped up to retract the catapults. Since the news from the front had already arrived, all the walls in the rear were ready. There were also many shelters built on the city walls for the soldiers to hide, and it was precisely because of this that the air cavalry did not attack immediately, which gave them the opportunity to disassemble the catapults and prepare for the next step.

"Archer, prepare. "The captain of the detachment sent the archers to the wall. The archers were also very careful, hunched up the city walls, waiting for the arrival of their opponents.

Hiding inside the walls were the infantry, hiding inside the walls and waiting for a white-knuckle battle. The heavy armor soldiers of the Four-Nation Alliance did not immediately speed up their pace, but slowly moved forward.

Behind the heavy armor were the siege soldiers, and the siege was their mission. Behind the siege soldiers were the infantry, and the archers were mixed with the infantry, one row of infantry and one row of archers, so that one archer was protected by one infantry. At the end of the phalanx are the magicians and warriors. As the most important combat force in the phalanx, the magician obviously has to be well protected, as can be seen from the fact that the magician is surrounded by warriors in the middle.

Every mage has the strength of a great mage, and the warriors also have warriors of six or seven levels of strength, so it can be said that the main combat power on the West Road is already here.

"Smash that wall directly to me. "The humanoid monster was a few kilometers away and sent a message to the big birds in the sky. The big birds nodded in understanding, and then the big bird flew above the other big bird, and in the blink of an eye, the big bird became a person, but it was dressed strangely. He was dressed in clothes made of leaves.

"Target city walls, stakes ready. ”

The archers on the walls were unconscious, unaware that they had been taken upon by death. The heavy armor soldiers finally walked to a position about 500 meters in front of the city wall.

"Archers prepare. The captain of the archers on the city wall drew arrows and signaled the team to prepare. But as if predicted, the heavy armor stopped standing still, and then held their shields high, as if they had been prepared for it.

Just as the captain of the archers was hesitating whether to abandon the operation, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, blowing up all the sand in front of the city walls. The archer's vision was obliterated, and the archer's eyes were blown to the core.

What no one noticed was a flock of large birds falling from the sky, hiding in the dust. Then, in front of the big bird, several wooden stakes with thick bowls will appear. Then the big birds flapped their wings, and the stakes flew ahead as if they were being moved by a hurricane. The same sand and dust was blown away by the efforts of the big birds, revealing their figures.

The first thing that was shocked was not the Atlantean Army, which was the enemy, but the soldiers of the Second Alliance, when did they form an alliance with these big birds? Unfortunately, their attention was drawn to the big birds, and they didn't notice the stakes flying at great speed. Suddenly, there were a large number of casualties on the city walls.

Although the soldiers were already quick to react, it was mainly the sand and dust that blocked the archers' vision and made it impossible to detect, and the sound of the stakes was muffled when they flew, which caused the archers to be scolded.

"Get down, get down!" The captain felt a sharp pain in his heart at this time, he was a squadron leader, leading a squadron, about five hundred people. There were 250 people on the city wall, and more than 80 soldiers had been lost at once, and so many people had already been lost before the battle was fought, and the squadron leader's heart was dripping with blood now.

"Infantrymen, all stand back. The squadron leader said to the infantry who wanted to charge but couldn't get up. No way, these big birds are really annoying, and the stakes are frantically slamming into the city walls as if they don't want money. The walls that had been strengthened were as shattered as if they had not been reinforced. The cover in front of the archers had been depleted, and only a few harder stones were left that were just enough to cover them. Dozens of people were killed in that period of time.

The archers originally wanted to retreat, but unfortunately the infantry blocked the retreating door, leaving the archers with no way to go up to the sky and no way to go to the ground, which was very embarrassing.

The infantry also understood that staying in this place would only increase the casualties of the archers, so they ran faster than the other. Only a few infantry with shields remained to meet the archers.

"Brothers, cover the retreating brothers! Shoot the arrows!" The big birds had a lot of firepower, so the squadron leader ordered them to cover in order to ensure the safe retreat of the retreating people.

The people hiding behind were basically recruits, and they had already been scared out of their minds. The veterans are always well-trained, although they have not fought in actual combat, but the basic skills are still there, and the psychological quality is much better than that of the recruits.

"Brush" "Brush" rows of arrows cut through the air and headed straight for their targets. The big birds were also obviously afraid of these arrows, dodging left and right, giving the archers a chance to retreat.

At this time, the big bird kept screaming, apparently discovering the archers' intention to retreat. The big birds also responded to the big birds' calls, and they actually spit out a thick wooden stake from their mouths.

Seeing this scene, the squadron leader was also stunned for a moment, and a sense of powerlessness appeared from all over his body. If such a large stake is struck, they will surely die.

The squadron leader looked around and found that the remaining soldiers also looked solemn, but none of them showed fear of death. "Captain, take this opportunity to hurry up and release the arrows to cover the retreat of the brothers. ”

The squadron leader didn't speak, just quietly looked at the old brothers who had been with him for the longest time. He was the first of these people to become a soldier, so when he became the squad leader, the recruits would affectionately call him Big Brother. And this relationship is three years. Although he didn't make any big achievements, because of his seniority, they all became squad leaders, and because of a chance, he became a squadron leader. Although they are not very capable and they are old, they never flinch when they encounter danger, and they are always the same team they were at the beginning.

Gradually, his eyes moistened a little. Don't know what to say anymore. "Big brother, we are also old, if we die, we will die, these new recruits still need training, and we still need them in the future, we can only push them to a new era and protect them to set off safely, isn't it?"

The squadron leader clenched his fist suddenly, these are what he said before, yes, as long as the recruits are here, we still have hope, the inheritance will not die, the country will not die, and hope will not die!

The squadron leader stood up from the city wall, raised his longbow and shouted: "Hope not to die, Atlantis not to die, Atlantis, long live!"

"Hooray!"

The rest of the archers were veterans of the ranks, some of them elites, but none of them climbed up because they liked to follow the squadron leader. Some people say they're stupid, but they don't care about it, because it's only in their world that they understand what attracts them to stay there.

"Shoot the arrows. ”

Arrows flew to the strong enemies in front of them with the expectations of the veterans for the new recruits. The big bird also had the stakes ready, and the stakes flew towards the archers with a grim smile.

The big birds with their free hands fanned the wind vigorously to block the archers' bows and arrows. One did not pay attention, "bang", an archer was nailed to the wall by a stake, and the archer unwillingly spat out a mouthful of blood, although life was lost little by little, but the fighting spirit did not mean to extinguish at all. It's just that the bow and arrow in his hand are tighter.

"Commander, what should we do?" After listening to the introduction of the soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers couldn't suppress their anger. All of them are already gearing up and eager to try.

"Earth magician. As the commander of this city, he also has a very important responsibility, "I command you to use earth magic to tear down this wall. ”

Some of the soldiers were a little unhappy when they heard this, but the commander didn't give them a chance to interject. "Assemble and prepare to meet the enemy. ”

Originally, some of the soldiers who had lost their will to fight, and some who were dissatisfied with the commanders' not yet attacking the enemy were also shocked, and they had never been able to assemble at a speed that they had never had.

There were already a few archers left on the city wall, and the squadron leader was accidentally shot by a stake at this time and nailed to the wall by a powerful force.

Is it finally going to die? The squadron leader looked at the elites in front of him who were still fighting with his increasingly unopen eyes. He knew all these people. These were all sent by him, but they were all "returned" in the end. But he knew that it was only they who were reluctant to leave him and their big collective. He smiled self-deprecatingly, what was it that attracted them to stay here?

Clusters of blood bloomed on the city walls, and it was only after the death of the last soldier that the unyielding battle came to an end. (To be continued.) )
