Chapter Forty-Nine: The Scorching Battle Situation [Two in One]

"Second group of guards, relay shooting!"

"After the mages who have run out of mana retreat to the wall, the meditation resumes!"

The guards and apprentices rotated their shots in an orderly manner to ensure maximum firepower advantage.

The hurried voice of the captain of the guard echoed above the walls.

At this time, the mayor of the town was concentrating on unleashing high-level magic, and had no time to care about other things.

He had already handed over all operational command to the captain of the guards.

As companions who grew up together, one of them went to vindictiveness, and the other chose magic.

In the past, they also formed a small mercenary group by themselves to explore the outside world.

It wasn't until he met her that he disbanded his mercenary group, returned to the town where he was born and raised, and returned to his normal life.

Now in their forties, they still cooperate tacitly.

Time has changed their appearance, but it has not changed their hearts.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Fireball, Ice Pick, Ground Spike.

Under the city walls, the monsters hit wildly with their bodies, and there were also magical beasts that could cast spells and released their magic to the city walls.

The entire wall shook, as if it was going to collapse in the next moment.

Among the many waves of demonic beasts, the [third-order demonic beast iron-eating elephant] was the most threatening to the city wall.

Relying on his huge body, he took the lead and fixed himself at the front, and launched a charge towards the city gate.

The Guard's bow and arrows and the magic of the Magic Apprentice could only spark at its body, and it could not break the Iron Elephant's defenses at all.

Only the mayor's and crossbow bolt attacks can damage it, but only for that matter.

It was too large for a small injury to stop him.

The muddy swamp area beneath the walls had been filled with the corpses of demonic beasts, and the Iron Elephant had crossed the area in three steps.

The long tusks were already aimed at the wooden gate in front of them, and they slammed into it!

"Bang!"

The sound of flesh and wood crashing caused nearby soldiers to experience ringing in their ears.

A small piece of ivory had already passed through the city gate, and it was only twenty centimeters from the eyeball of a guard holding a shield behind the gate!

Behind the city gate, twenty heavily armed guards were already in formation and held their positions.

Their mission is to be responsible for stopping the demonic beasts that are about to enter the city after the city gate is destroyed.

The shield-wielding guard watched in horror as the ivory left in front of him, and he could already see the crazy beasts outside through the hole in the city gate.

"We really... Can you stop it?"

He couldn't help but ask questions to himself.

The thought echoed in the hearts of all the guards who saw that scene, but none of them backed back.

————

Windmill town at the moment.

The crowd was surging, and everyone was fleeing from here in a panic, hoping to leave through the West Gate on the other side.

In fact, when they first learned that the beast tide was coming, most of the people in the town did not know that it was terrible, and many people still did not return home with the mentality of luck.

Later, after the persuasion of the old people in the town, I slowly got the information, and I began to panic and crowd.

"Powerful mages and mercenaries, I'm Tariq, the guard of Windmill Town!"

"Please gather all the professionals with combat power to gather with me, the beast tide battle on the east city wall is fierce now, we need your help!"

Dressed in iron armor, Tariq stood in the panicked crowd and shouted loudly, hoping to find help.

Crowds of people came from all sides of him, and ran again.

They even tried to avoid physical contact with Tariq.

In the midst of this black crowd, a strange circle appeared.

Tariq stood alone in the center, and within a meter of him seemed to be a forbidden area for humans, and everyone avoided him.

Tariq repeated the words of help over and over again, but no one responded to him.

"Don't run away! We can beat them! As long as everybody ......"

Tariq grabbed the arm of a mercenary who was passing by, but was ruthlessly knocked to the ground.

"Get out of here, don't pull me if you want to die!"

The mercenary glanced at Tariq with disgust, and then continued to flee towards Simon.

At this point, any order and rule loses its meaning, and only the power of those who have a way to deal with the crisis can be useful.

And this empowerment at such a moment shows its vulnerability and vulnerability in human nature.......

The upheaval in fate often shows its humor in this way: No matter how noble, detached, indifferent or worldly and trivial you usually are, once you encounter upheaval, the original human nature will always be squeezed and naturally revealed from the depths of your soul, and this is your true color.

When some people are guaranteed to live, their demands go far beyond just survival, and material things become their second needs; Sometimes, the need is greater than anything else.

Tariq collapsed to the ground, looking desperately at the crowd in front of him.

"Why, everyone doesn't want to help, even one person..."

Thinking of the mayor and the guards, they were still fighting bloodily at the front line of the beast tide, which was a stark contrast to the humans fleeing for their lives in front of them.

An abyssal sense of despair gripped Tariq.

"Don't go!"

"Gods or demons"

"Whatever it costs me!"

"Don't go..."

Tariq looked up feebly at the sun in the sky.

"Who's coming...

Help us..."

"You"

"Also... Need assistance? ”

A young girl's figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and appeared in Tariq's field of vision.

A gentle voice rang out.

Her long silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, and her red pupils were full of seriousness.

Slender willow eyebrows, a straight nose, a little baby fat face is slightly red because of running, and the delicate lips are gently opened and closed.

Under the warm sunlight, she seemed to be an angel descending on the earth.

"If you're alone..."

Tariq froze in place, looking at the girl blankly and muttering.

"And us!"

A resounding response came from behind Vivien.

Behind her stood a large crowd of people:

The leader is Morey in a black robe, a magic apprentice full of fighting spirit, summoned beasts of various forms, a captain of the guard with bandages on his shoulders, and a mercenary ready to go.

They were all spontaneously gathered fighting professionals, and they had rushed from the West Gate under the leadership of Vivien.

The gathered professionals are like the light in the night, tearing apart the darkness before dawn.

"Boy, how can you cry like a!

"If it's a man, stand up!"

"If you dare to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep, I must pull off their skin and wipe their butts!"

"May Pero keep an eye on us."

"Let's go! Show those monster cubs the power of humanity! ”

"Roar!"

————

"Damn it, quick! Pile up obstacles at the gates of the city, and don't let these beasts enter the city! ”

Once the empty gate was breached, the guards at the gate had no way to avoid it.

The captain of the guard noticed this situation and quickly instructed the soldiers to move the surrounding dismantled buildings, stones, and even carriages to the city gate, just to delay a little longer.

Seeing that the damage to the city wall was getting worse and worse, the captain of the guard frowned tightly, and he glanced at the top of the city wall.

The guards were still shooting, but the continuous full force of the bow had caused their arms to become over-congested.

If they continue like this, their arms may be crippled.

The magic apprentices and teachers in the back also ran out of magic and sat in place to meditate and recover.

Crossbow bolts and rockfall ammunition are also depleted.

Only the mayor of the town is still maintaining and releasing [Second Ring Magic: Dust Tornado].

This magic has very low damage, but it can make a large area of the monster stand unsteady and unable to hit the city walls.

But the mayor's ears and nostrils were already bleeding black.

His mana reserves were not so exaggerated, and he was now completely squeezing the last bit of potential in his body.

"You..."

The captain of the guard seemed to want to say something to him, but was stopped by the mayor with his eyes.

"It's not the last moment yet, we still have reinforcements yet!"

"Reinforcements?"

"That's right, Tariq! He went to gather the prostitutes who passed by. ”

"Hurry up, Tariq, if you don't come again......"

The entire city wall was under attack, but the most dangerous place was at the gates.

Over there was the range of the Iron Elephant's attack, and the battered and tattered city gate was already in a precarious state.

The captain of the guard withdrew from the command position, and he appointed a usually steady squad leader to act as a temporary commander.

He jumped straight off the walls and landed in a perfect position.

Falling from a height of 8 meters on himself and the ground without any damage at all indicates that his body has reached a certain level of control.

The others already knew their mission, and he was going to fight.

His battlefield was not on the city walls.

"Boom!"

Pulling out the knight's sword, which had not been wielded for more than ten years, the captain of the guard walked to the front of the guards facing the city gate.

He is the strongest man in this city, a gold-level swordsman!

The Golden Tier can already use Dou Qi to swing weapons to unleash ranged attacks.

However, using sword qi to attack is too wasteful of fighting energy, and close combat can maximize his strength.

The gates shook constantly, and there was a screeching sound at the bearings, as if they were about to be knocked open in the next second.

"I'll take the lead!"

The captain of the guards shouted slogans, cheering up the guards around him, and he was also cheering himself up.

"Arya, bless me..."

He silently recited his lover's name in his heart.

The breath of the demonic beasts was getting closer and closer, and the peculiar stench of their bodies filled everyone's nostrils.

"Our reinforcements are coming! It's Tariq! ”

The soldier on the scout floor suddenly shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, the captain of the guard turned his head to look behind him in delight.

Figures emerged from the corner of the street in the distance and ran towards the city gates, led by his brother-in-law: the guard Tariq.

"Boom!"

At the same time as Tariq arrived, there was a loud voice.

"Boom !!"

Hold on to the city gates for nearly an hour

It's broken!

In the next second, the beast was like a tide, surging forward the crowd.
