Chapter 62: Defeating the Enemy
Black Rock City.
The war between humans and demons has reached the most critical moment, and there are no more tactics to use between them, no extra hole cards to rely on, only the confrontation of courage and will remains.
There seems to be no end to the hellish battle that consumes everyone's minds, and now the contest has become a matter of which side can't hold it first.
And the reversal of the situation has quietly taken place.
Almost at the same moment, magical communications from the demon's messenger and Hurricane City reached the hands of the two warring sides.
In the church, Zhaoming received a message from the old priest Madian, and it was said that there was information from Hurricane City.
Sevita, Ezekiel, and Hal followed Zhaoming to the church, and the two of them had to wait in the inner courtyard of the church due to the sophistication of the information, and the lord entered the communication room accompanied by the old priest.
"Hope is good news......"
Zhao Ming stared at the flames burning in the teleportation furnace in front of him, and a cloud of ashes quickly emerged from it, then slowly kneaded and finally turned into a brand new piece of stationery.
The old priest respectfully picked up the letter and handed it into the lord's hand.
Zhaoming looked at the words on it, his hands trembled slightly, and a tear of excitement quietly crossed by, fleeting.
"Your Excellency?" The old priest had already guessed the general content, but he still asked, "What do you say over there?" β
Zhao Ming did not tell him immediately, but said, "Let's go outside, and I will read it in public." β
The two of them walked out of the interrogation room and saw countless pairs of eyes looking at them outside: the Black Rock Guards who had just stepped down from the line of fire covered in scars, the busy but tired Nun Bianca, and the Templars.
There was a flame of anticipation burning in everyone's eyes, and from the expression of the original owner, they had already guessed that this letter must be good news, and the key to turning the tide of battle.
Zhao Ming cleared his throat and said loudly: "To Zhao Ming, Lord of Black Rock and Leader of the Chenhui Knights, Hurricane City has repelled the demonic attack and slashed the enemy Chaos Warlord, we didn't have a moment to rest, we didn't have time to repair the city, and immediately rushed to support. I know that you are in far greater danger than we are, but hold on for three more days, and I will bring with me the power to purify the worldβDante, Lord of the Hurricane and Knights of the Red Scorpion. β
There was silence in the church, and when everyone confirmed that they heard the lord clearly, they cheered!
"Great! Our victory is at hand! β
"Finally, this nightmare is coming to an end!"
β¦β¦
Zhaoming walked up to Hal and once again expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Red Scorpion Knights for their righteous deeds.
Hal smiled slightly: "Brother, why bother? It's just our responsibility, and I think you wouldn't hesitate to make the same choice if the two sides were in the same position. β
Zhaoming didn't say anything, and directly gave Hal a big hug.
Everyone was basking in the joy of the imminent victory, but Sevita still didn't react, knowing that the last three days before the victory would be the hardest.
On the other side, the demon party also knew about it.
In the demon camp, the two Chaos Warlords looked at each other, but neither spoke.
They had just learned from the emissary that Skeletron had been defeated.
Valleka scolded angrily in his heart: "This rotten bone that doesn't have it, with so many subordinates but without making an inch, he was killed by humans, shame, shame!" β
This time the demonic invasion has come to an end, and there are many good news from all over the human front.
Daedalus in the north, under the command of his king, successfully resisted the attack of the demons, and even pursued the demons for a time, and entered the dark frontier.
The Knights and the city of Trania have also succeeded in stopping the demonic invasion and driving these filthy creatures back to the dark frontier once again.
However, with the exception of Hurricane City, none of the victories killed the Chaos Warlords, and after these demonic elites returned, after a period of cultivation, they were soon able to gather their subordinates......
Therefore, the pressure on Valleka and Boiltu can be imagined, although the resistance of Black Rock City is getting weaker and weaker, their losses are also very heavy.
Even if they don't want to admit it, the reality is that once the Red Scorpion Knights arrive, they will definitely die here!
After a long silence, the crimson Valleka spoke first.
"Boil, haven't you always prided yourself to be smart? What should you do with the current situation? β
The Purple Demon twisted his deformed head to the side, not looking directly at the leader of the vamplets.
The two of them would never let Black Rock City go, and this defeat gave them a hard blow to their arrogant hearts.
But now there are only two options, either retreat in embarrassment, return to the dark border to recuperate, and in time gather more forces and unite more warlords to attack the city again. Or, take a desperate last gamble and break through Black Rock before the Red Scorpion Knights arrive, and then break out......
In fact, on the whole, retreat is undoubtedly the best solution at this moment. After all, even if they retreated quickly after capturing Black Rock City, they would still be caught up by the Red Scorpion Knights, and the losses were self-evident.
But how can the two of them swallow this breath? Rayo Valleka, in particular, had come on a mission, and if he fled like this, would the adult who had returned to the Dark Border let him go?
In order to be able to reap enough benefits in this invasion, he did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to borrow troops from some big warlords, but now he has lost like this but he can't get any results, but he is afraid that he will not be able to repay it......
Finally, the two Chaos Warlords exchanged glances, and each understood what the other was thinking.
"!"
Without any hesitation, there was no way back for the two of them!
"Boil, tomorrow I will personally go into battle and give me all your blasting worms, and I will raze this obstructive city wall to the ground at once!"
Valleka's voice was full of rage, almost roaring at the words of the plea.
And the boiling figure did not refuse, for the sake of today's plan, only sincere cooperation is their only hope.
Moreover, after so many days, the cunning boil still found some loopholes in the Black Rock defense, and he had decided to make a fuss about it.
β¦β¦
The sky had once again fallen into gloomy darkness, and torches and bonfires had been lit above the walls for lighting.
Now the city wall is seriously damaged, compared to his original mighty wind assets, it is really a little pitiful, and the Black Rock Guards standing above him are also not happy.
The elite troops suffered heavy losses, and most of the troops are now volunteers who take up arms and go into battle. Their combat effectiveness was obviously inferior to the real Black Rock Guards, but at this moment, they were the only ones who could withstand the demon's long onslaught.
Zhaoming stood at the head of the city, looking into the distance with mixed feelings. Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and support is coming soon! That's what everyone is thinking right now.
But Zhaoming had other thoughts: "After this battle, I have left a big favor to the Red Scorpion Knights, and I don't know how to repay it." β
And there were also foundries led by Crohn on the city wall, and at this juncture in the battle, they no longer had the need to take on logistics, so they applied to go to the front one after another.
Zhaoming naturally didn't want these valuable talents to suffer losses, so he ordered them to only help carry supplies and retreat immediately in the event of a battle.
The evening breeze sent a chill, and Zhaoming suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, which had not been seen in the previous battle.
What's wrong with me? Zhaoming looked at his heart, is it too much pressure lately?
As he pondered, Kubo, a guard behind him, approached him and told him that a soldier from the Black Rock Guard had asked to see him.
"Oh?" Zhaoming became curious, "Does it need treatment?" Or are you scared and want to apply to leave? β
Cooper shook his head, "You'd better ask him yourself." β
With Zhaoming's permission, Cooper introduced him to a young soldier with blond hair and a familiar face...... Harry Jo!
Zhaoming was stunned, he didn't expect that it would be Elusa's younger brother who came to find him at this time.
Harry Jo said timidly, "Zhaoming...... No, my lord, I have something to ask you. β
"But it doesn't hurt to say, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely know and not answer."
Zhaoming behaves like a big brother who solves homework troubles for his brother next door, but in fact, this is his original mentality.
Although the lord had agreed, Haricho hesitated, as if he was engaged in a difficult psychological struggle. After some thought, he finally decided to say the words that shocked the illumination
"Can I join your Order?"
Forehead...... Zhaoming really didn't expect Haricho to ask such a thing, but he still replied very seriously: "The Chenhui Knights are in a period of reconstruction, and anyone whose moral character and ability can be recognized can join, but you ...... it."
Zhaoming walked to Haricho's side, and without waiting for Haricho to react, Zhaoming took advantage of his height advantage and rubbed Haricho's head fiercely.
"You kid, why do you still have such an idea?"
β¦β¦
The southern part of Black Rock City, which is surrounded by mountains, is narrow, and it is not conducive to the deployment of large armies.
Because it was impossible for the demons to launch an offensive from here, all Zhaoming only arranged vigilance troops here, and most of them were lightly wounded.
Most of the vigilant soldiers sat against the walls, talking to each other about their thoughts after the battle.
In their view, now is victory, which means thinking about the rest of life.
"Hey buddy, let's go to the tavern for a drink after the battle?"
"Of course, the lord will definitely give out the bounty, I'm going to have a drink!"
"But I don't want to drink too much, I'm going to leave money for my kids to go to school, I haven't seen them in a long time, I don't know how they're doing in Hurricane City"
β¦β¦
And in the darkness, a pair of eyes with a strange light were staring at this place.
