Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of the City

"Buzz!"

A dull trumpet sounded suddenly throughout Windmill Town.

"Bang"

A guard who jumped down from the scout tower ran down the street and shouted frantically:

"Attention all the residents of Windmill Town! The beast tide is coming! Please evacuate to your home immediately! ”

"Quick! Fast! Hurry!"

He's the first guard to spot the beast tide, and the news must get out quickly!

The soldiers on the city walls were also awakened by the sound of trumpets, and billowing smoke could already be seen rising from the distant skyline.

Beneath the dust covered the sky were mad beasts, red-eyed, and running mad towards Windmill Town.

"Damn it, go up to the left wall and raise the gates!"

"All the guards of Windmill Town are gathered at the city gate!"

"Let Chica inform the mayor!"

One order after another was issued, and the entire windmill town was in turmoil.

The town was filled with loud shouts, chaotic footsteps, and the crying of babies......

[Beast tide distance from the city gate: 10 km]

The clouds of war loomed over the town

On that day, after a thousand years, the residents of Windmill Town once again experienced the fear of being hit by the beast tide.

"Whether it's the elderly or the children, all go home!"

"This is not a drill!"

Guard Tariq shouted loudly, trying to evacuate the panicked crowd in the street.

Even though he had just been on a shift last night, his eyes were bloodshot now.

But the moment the alarm sounded in the whole city, he still put on the guard armor without hesitation, rushed out of the house, and went to the city gate to gather.

Fortunately, it is early in the morning, and many people have not gotten up yet, which has reduced the pressure on evacuation a lot.

"Buzz! Airplanes! ”

The horn of the alarm sounded again from above the reconnaissance tower.

Under the city walls

The captain of the guards, who had just arrived, had a dark face, and his fingernails were about to sink into the flesh in his clenched fists.

Two horns!

This means that the number and strength of the enemy definitely exceed the standard for the guards to go out of the city to fight, and the city must be defended!

If it is three sounds, it means that the enemy who cannot be stopped has come, and the city must be abandoned and fled, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary sacrifices.

"Don't get to that situation!"

The captain of the guards looked anxiously at the trembling guards on the city walls.

This group of young men in their twenties were stupefied by the sudden beast tide incident, and some even cried their mother's name with the scabbard in their hands.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Push out both the crossbow launcher and the catapult! ”

"Don't panic as you usually do during drills!

Those are brutes, brutes who feed us!

Are you bunnies scared to pee your pants by the brutes? ”

"Whose teeth are chattering! You coward, I'll go to the Ka'Sa Tavern to promote it to you! Those pretty girls sitting on the stage will surely laugh at you for the rest of your life! ”

"We are on the city walls, what are we afraid of! They can't get up! It was the little snack we had before breakfast, and it all cheered me up! ”

"Pick up your weapons! Hold your ground! ”

Tariq's brother-in-law, the captain of the Windmill Guard, commanded loudly from the city walls.

With his encouragement, the guards on the city walls finally recovered some of their condition.

Although my legs were still shaking, at least I was able to move.

Looking at the guards who were gradually cheering up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The captain of the guard knows well.

Fear is the greatest enemy, and if it is allowed to spread, they will die.

Although he grew up, he had only heard the sound of the horn during the guard exercises.

When he was younger, he very much wanted to hear this voice when he was on duty, because it meant that he had something to do.

In peacetime, it's too hard to climb up.

But time can change a person's mind.

Now he would rather never hear this voice for the rest of his life.

Because that means nothing happens.

But accidents and tomorrow always don't know which side will come first.

[Beast tide distance from the city gate: 5 km]

Under the rolling dust, one by one black shadows appeared in people's field of vision.

The captain of the guard frowned and looked at the beast tide in the distance.

This is the hometown where he was born and raised, and if the beast tide wants to destroy this place, he must first step over his corpse!

"Where's the mayor?"

"I've been informed, and the mayor of the town has responded that he's gathering the power of the Academy of Magic and is heading this way."

"Are the gates closed?"

"It's closed, but... Some took advantage of the chaos to loot some caravan items and fled the city. ”

"Leave that stupid thing alone! Now go to the warehouse and get your bow and arrows! ”

"Let Tariq go to the city and mobilize! Among those caravans and passing travelers are powerful pros, gather them as much as you can, and go up to the walls to defend the city! ”

"If the walls can't be defended, they will die!"

The captain of the guard quickly gave orders one after another, and under his command, the entire windmill town was up and running for the arrival of war.

【Beast tide distance from the city gate: 3 km】

People with good eyesight can already faintly see the size of the monster in front of them.

The mayor of Windmill Town has finally arrived with a group of sleepy-eyed magic apprentices.

Along with the apprentice team, there was also a vice principal of a fire great magician and several teachers with the strength of middle-level and high-level magicians.

"Luke Yulaya, how's it going out there? How many Warcraft are there? ”

The mayor anxiously inquired about the captain of the guards, and at the same time directed the guards to lead the students and teachers up the walls.

"I don't know the specifics, but now the beast tide is less than 3 kilometers away from the town!"

"Among them, there are more than three third-order demonic beasts that I have seen, and there are even more than three hundred second-order and first-order demonic beasts!"

The mayor frowned and climbed the walls.

He is also the dean of the Windmill Town School of Magic, a great mage of the wind system.

"The situation is not good"

Seeing the beast tide in the distance, the mayor frowned.

This group of demonic beasts had obviously entered a state of rage, and their eyes were red and they had lost their minds.

This tide of Warcraft is the most dangerous.

Because they don't die, they tear apart everything that stands in their way.

【Beast tide distance from the city gate: 2 km】

"All the teachers who have mastered the [One Ring Magic: Mire Technique], please keep unleashing it around the city walls!"

Several teachers nodded, and they chanted in low voices, their wands waving towards the city, and a stream of magical light emanated from the tip.

The ground beneath the castle gradually became soft, and as the magic poured in, a three-meter-wide area of mire formed around the city walls.

This can effectively slow down the speed of the beast tide charge, and make some of the monsters that are caught off guard fall and be trampled into bloody mud by the monsters behind!

"All magic apprentices are ready, listen to my command to release magic missiles together, don't release other magic!"

This time, there were very few responders.

The youngest of the magic apprentices was only ten years old!

The oldest is only 16 years old.

They were awakened by the sudden sound of a horn, and then they were gathered by the teachers and followed the dean.

Looking at the beast tide not far away, several apprentices were already so frightened that they were emotionally broken, and they couldn't enter the spell casting state at all.

The apprentices tried to escape from the wall and leave this dangerous place, but they were held to death by the guards behind them.

They can't run, and if they do, their morale will be gone!

What student doesn't want to stay away from the fighting and go to school safely?

"If you run away, then your parents! Your older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, all of them will be ruthlessly devoured by this group of demonic beasts! ”

"The god of magic will protect us!"

"The city is in the people, and the city is lost!"

The mayor stood on the rampart, his eyes bloodshot, and he shouted loudly, hoping to cheer up the frightened apprentices.

It turns out that language is also a powerful force.

The magic apprentices seemed to be motivated by this statement.

Their eyes gradually hardened, and their trembling bodies slowly subsided.

With the courage to see death as if he were at home, he slowly raised his hands and whispered a magic missile that had only been used in class.

Dots of white light gradually coalesced into white balls of light in front of them.

Don't look at it as just a magic apprentice, even if the magic missile they release, as long as it hits accurately, it can cause damage to the first and second order magical beasts!

They are indispensable weapons of war.

[Beast tide distance from the city gate: 1 km]

Even people with poor eyesight can see those huge monsters on the city walls.

Their eyes were bloodshot and drooling from the corners of their mouths, like vicious dogs coming out of hell.

The guards subconsciously swallowed dryly, but there was no saliva in their mouths.

Their lips were pale and chapped, but the bows and arrows in their hands never fell.

"All magic apprentices and teachers obey my orders!"

"All the guards bow and arrows ready! Crossbow Bolts Ready! ”

The mayor and the captain of the guards opened their eyes wide as they commanded the people on the city walls.

At that moment, they seemed to become a whole, and the survival of Windmill Town rested on them.

They are students, teachers, family, friends......

But now, they have only one identity: soldiers!

Protect the lights of thousands of homes behind you, the soldiers of countless civilians behind you!

[Beast tide from the city gate: 500 meters! ] 】

Countless Warcraft have completely abandoned their usual habits and are running forward frantically, even if some Warcraft are usually natural enemies!

Fire rats, iron-eating elephants, gray-horned rabbits, forest lizards......

The tallest iron-eating elephant is even flush with the 8-meter-high wall!

"Ready!"

"Shooting !!"

The roar of the captain of the guard filled everyone's ears.

The mayor, the teachers, the students, the guards...

At this moment, everyone unleashed their strongest attack skills together.

The fire dragon and the wind blade roared forward,

Arrows and magic missiles complement each other,

Ice picks and stone projectiles flutter in the wind.

With a mission of victory, they flew quickly towards the enemy in front of them.

"Boom!"

This war between humans and Warcraft has begun!
