Chapter 56: Warlords join forces
The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the demon took the lead in attacking.
The vamplet's glittering eyes were fixed on the Templars, wielding gritty but deadly bronze weapons.
Ignoring the beads of sweat in his hands, Zhaoming set up his spear and aimed it at the demons, white gas coming out of the nostrils of the Absolute Shadow under his crotch, and his hooves kept digging on the ground, ready to charge.
Looking at his companions around him, Zhaoming and Ezekiel, Sevita, and Hal exchanged glances through the gap in their helmets, and they were ready.
"Rush!"
Zhaoming took the lead and slew at the approaching demons, followed by the other three.
Knock knock knock!
The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground mingled with the roar of demons, and the two forces engaged in a desperate struggle under the bright moon.
When the knight launches a fearless charge, the most primitive and noble courage of mankind will be raised to an incomprehensible level!
……
At dawn, the knight of the edict stationed on the city wall, Gawain, had already received all the refugees who had escaped, but Zhaoming and the others were nowhere to be seen.
What should I do?
Gao Wen's blue eyes looked into the distance, and he was very nervous in his heart. His comrade-in-arms Diesel walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Gawain, you don't have to worry, the captain will be safe." ”
Gawain nodded, turned around and went back to the city to assist in the resettlement of refugees. Diesel took over his work on the city walls.
Diesel is middle-aged, the oldest and strongest of all the Imperial Knights. He has a lot of scars on his face, and his appearance is not very good-looking, but it is worth noting his tall stature.
Even among the knights, Diesel is quite tall, with a height of nearly two meters and must wear custom armor.
In a world where underclass humans are generally malnourished, Diesel is an absolute giant for them.
So, when he appeared, the soldiers around him did not dare to approach him, which was in stark contrast to the handsome Gawain.
But Diesel doesn't care about that, he's a simple person, and he likes the environment of Black Rock City and Zhaoming, the lord brother.
Just as he was looking into the distance, he suddenly noticed that several figures appeared in the distance!
Zhaoming, Ezekiel, Sevita, and Hal came from the west and marched towards the rising sun.
Diesel saw at a glance that each of them was wounded, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the lord's return.
Seeing that they had arrived home, the Zhaoming people, who were exhausted and struggling to support themselves, relaxed.
Hal was the most seriously injured of these, and he was severely injured in order to protect the weaker Ezekiel, fainting several times, and was rushed to the city for treatment after returning to the city.
Ezekiel wasn't much better, he had lost so much blood that he and Hal had been left to come back by Akira with magic.
As for Zhaoming, as the lord, the other three desperately protected him and made him lightly injured. However, the constant use of magic to heal his partner also made him overdrawn, and he fell into a coma after returning to the city.
The only one of the four who was awake was the martial arts strong Saivita, who was only slightly injured.
I have to say that his strength is too strong. The accumulated merits have allowed him to be blessed with protection 4 times, and at the same time, he has a strong swordsmanship, and he has killed most of the demons in this battle alone.
And now that the lord is wounded, the burden of organizing the defense falls on his shoulders.
……
A day and a night passed, and the demon's advance was delayed due to their surprise attack.
Although it was not a long time, it also gave Black Rock City more time to organize its defenses and meet the demonic onslaught in a better manner.
The day after returning from the raid on the demons, Zhaoming climbed the city wall under everyone's watchful eye.
He stood proudly at the head of the city, his eyes staring ahead, and the morale of the soldiers around him was greatly boosted by his presence.
"If nothing else, the first attack should be this evening......"
Zhao Ming silently calculated in his heart, around him, soldiers were transporting all kinds of city defense equipment.
There were large bed crossbows purchased with a lot of money, black boulders mined from the mountains outside the city, and bows and arrows that Krohn and his team worked overtime to make.
Soon, the scout Pegasus, who was sent out to be in charge of the investigation, reported it.
Zhaoming saw a puff of dust rise from the city, and the roar of scouts came from his ears.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Everyone's nerves immediately tensed to the extreme, and the Templars immediately gathered around Zhaoming.
Zhaoming looked at his companion beside him, his expression was light and light, and he was actually panicked to death.
Although he has experienced a lot of things and has impulsively fought with demons, Zhaoming is still full of anxiety about the upcoming war.
The Black Rock City under his feet is the condensation of his own painstaking efforts, and I don't know what it will be destroyed after this battle.
His companions, Ezekiel and Cooper, the knights of the Imperial Decree who were pulled onto the ship by himself, and Hal of the Red Scorpion Knights, who came from afar to help, did not know if they could survive safely......
"Everyone!"
Zhao Ming shouted, pulled out the sword of martyrdom and placed it flat in front of him.
The knights immediately responded, drawing their swords and stacking the tips of their swords together, making a declaration of victory.
"In the name of the goddess Enya, you will win!"
The morale of the human side was ignited again, and everyone was slapping their weapons hard to make a deafening sound.
And just as they were excited, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the distant earth.
Everyone turned around and looked at it, and their pupils instantly dilated - there were too many demons!
The crimson demon tide reclaimed the mountains and the sea, pressing towards Black Rock City like a big hand!
Saivita, who was standing beside Zhaoming, muttered, "Something is wrong, this is not a simple demon army. ”
They had encountered the vanguard of demons before, and it stands to reason that the number of demons attacking the dark circles this time should not exceed 5,000.
But now there are more than eight thousand people in sight, and they are still rushing at them.
Zhaoming's hands trembled a little, and the development of things was beyond his imagination, but he couldn't show the slightest, because now his every move involved morale, and once morale went wrong, the battle would not be fought.
"Pass the order and prepare for defense!" Zhaoming shouted and ordered everyone to disperse and rush to various points of defense.
Sevita stood silent beside Zhaoming, knowing that things would come to this.
All because of their surprise attack, which prematurely exposed their combat power in order to rescue the captives, caused the two Chaos warlords to join forces and prepare to break through the key weak node of Black Rock City.
As he had predicted, two Chaos warlords, a high-ranking vulter and a purple demon, decided to join forces to attack Black Rock.
The former was burly, red, fanged, and held a huge mace and stared at Black Rock City with huge eyes, expecting the killing that was about to begin.
The Purple Demon is a very different demon from a vamplet, and they are similar in body structure to humans, with a streamlined body.
But the difference is that they have purple skin that shines all their lives, and horns like male goats.
The purple demon twisted his strange body and said to the red troll beside him in a strange tone, "Valleka, is this the dangerous human you told me about?" It looks pretty ordinary. ”
Although the demon Baleka is a bloodthirsty and warlike vamplet, he is different from those low-level demons, and at his level, he already has a certain amount of wisdom.
Previously, it was clear that they were too strong to kill all the demon vanguard troops, and after two of them escaped back to the base camp, they reported the matter to their immediate boss, the Chaos Warlord Baleka.
In order to be able to take the weakest point of the human defense line in one fell swoop, the always arrogant Ballekalla lowered his face and asked another Chaos Warlord, the Purple Demon, to attack this place with him.
"Boil, although the two of us have always been at odds, this battle is of great significance and cannot be lost, and I promise you that half of the spoils of the war after conquering this city will be yours."
The two demon leaders discussed the division of the post-war benefits, attacking Black Rock was originally the goal of Valleka, and Xitu was the helper he moved, so naturally he wanted to offer enough benefits to impress the other party.
The demon is a creature that is both cunning and simple. They only care about profits, and they will not hesitate to use any means to do so.
And in the dark border, there is a constant stream of fighting each other for turf and the like.
Therefore, demons will periodically launch attacks on the human world, and it is naturally best if they can successfully break through the human defense line and expand their territory.
If you can't break through the human defenses, then it's not a bad thing for the demons to be able to take this opportunity to consume some of the weaker demons and leave each other more room to live.
From a distance, Zhao Ming saw two of the most conspicuous warlords in the demon army, their bodies were two feet tall, and they were extremely conspicuous among their shorter counterparts.
Here it comes!
The two demon lords gave an order, and hundreds of various demons rushed towards the Black Rock City Wall.
"The whole army is ready!" Zhaoming shouted, already picking up a musket in his hand and reloading it.
The vanguard of the demons is undoubtedly the warlike vulcatons, crimson demons armed with grotesque bronze weapons and unfathomably attacking the human defenses.
To their surprise, the humans did not immediately unleash their bows and arrows to attack them, as usual, but allowed them to attack only 50 steps from the wall.
The distance that Zhaoming estimated in his heart is getting closer and closer, and he has finally reached the border!
"Put!"
With the lord's order, the archers of the Black Rock Guard bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the demons that rushed out to release a rain of arrows.
Woohoo!
A rain of arrows poured down from the sky, and the demon who rushed to the front was immediately pierced into a hornet's nest.
But when a vamplet falls, more venters rush up behind him.
If a human being is attacked by a bow and arrow, he will definitely raise his shield to defend and attack. But once the vamphits are killed, they don't care about their own safety, they just want to find some living people to kill immediately!
