The Knights, under the command of Sherman, began to use airdrops to launch a counterattack against the Dark Devils. Barrels of fire oil were thrown down, and the mountain road in front of the fortress was soon filled with a large amount of fire oil like a small river. This was followed by a large amount of dry firewood, and the timber was thrown down from the air, and soon piled up like a hill.

The Dark Devil Army also knew what the other party wanted to do at this time, but the narrow mountain road was crowded with people, and even if they had to retreat, it was too late. "Bang!", the knights in the air began to shoot to the ground, and the sound of "bang, bang......" The sound of the ignition of the fire oil sounded, and the fire on the mountain road suddenly rose into the sky.

"Ah......h

The Dark Legion seemed to be terrified of the flames, and some of them were terrified, even if they were not burned by the fire, and they were so frightened that they could fly over the heads of others with wings on their wings. Tens of thousands of people pushed and shoved each other, many of whom were trampled under the feet of their companions and soon became a puddle of flesh, and many more were squeezed off the cliff and fell headlong into the deep ravine.

When the Knights saw the chaos of the Dark Devils, they couldn't help but lift their spirits, and they all shouted in the air and shot downward, eager to kill these guys all at once. While everyone in the Knights was busy shooting at each other, the Knights' Leader Sherman's mind was very calm, and he knew that although this fire could be blocked for a while, it was still impossible to force the other party to retreat.

The only way they can do now should still be to procrastinate, and they have to find a way to build a wall of fire in front of the fortress, so that they can delay the time as much as possible. Taking advantage of the current chaos of the Dark Devils, it is most important to seize the time to rebuild the defense line.

Sherman immediately beckoned everyone to retreat, and as soon as they returned to the fortress, he immediately asked everyone to extinguish the fire on the city's head, and then let the local garrison open the gates of the fortress. The local garrison trembled with fear when they heard that the gate was going to be opened, the Dark Devil Army was so terrifying, what if they took the opportunity to rush in.

Sherman said angrily, "If you miss this only remaining opportunity, do you think you can hold the fortress with this little bit of people?"

The local garrison was so engulfed by Sherman's anger that no one dared to say anything more, so they had to honestly open the gates of the fortress. Sherman immediately ordered the Knights to move quickly to move the fire-starters in the fortress to the front of the fortress, and then pile them up like a hill to block the road.

While they were carrying their belongings, the Dark Devil Army, which had been burned by the flames and caused chaos, gradually settled down, and they retreated to the bottom of the hillside, waiting for the fire on the mountain path to be extinguished, and then attacking again. Sherman saw that the fire on the mountain road had gradually decreased, and fearing that the Dark Devils would rush over, he ordered someone to light the fire first, so that the Dark Devils would have no chance to take advantage of it.

A fire burned and completely sealed the intersection, and in order not to extinguish the fire, Sherman divided the soldiers into several shifts to guard the fire at the intersection, adding fuel as soon as the fire became smaller. At the same time, he asked people to gather everything that could be burned in the fortress, even the family wood was dismantled to be used as firewood.

The local garrisons couldn't help but sigh in distress when they saw that the Knights had dismantled the furniture, doors and windows to use them as firewood, but they also knew that signing up was the most important thing now, in case the Dark Devil Army really rushed into the fortress, the Knights could retreat on a bird, but their local garrisons had only a dead end.

The fire burned day and night, and the soldiers kept the fire day and night in shifts, adding incendiary materials to the fire as soon as the fire was weak, and the two sides confronted each other across the fire. The fire burned for two whole days, and the ashes of the fire were piled up like a hill, and there was not much left of the fortress that could be burned, and if it continued to burn, the only way to do so would be to demolish the house.

In fact, Sherman was already doing this, and he sent for the stables to be dismantled, and then the timber was transported outside the fortress, ready to be put into the fire. However, most of the houses in the fortress are made of stone, and there is not a lot of wood that can be used as fuel, and some of the houses are not immediately demolished.

By the third day, there was almost nothing left in the fortress to burn, except for some wood and a few clothes and bedding. However, even if these things were still in the fire, they would not be able to burn for long, and the line of defense formed by this flame had reached the point where it was unsustainable.

Sherman sighed in his heart, he and the Knights had done their best, once the fire was extinguished, even if they both fought each other, it would not change anything, it seemed that the loss of this fortress was only a matter of time. Sherman approached the officers of the local garrison, told them the situation as it was, and then let them decide for themselves whether to evacuate now or hold out until the last minute.

The answer to this question was obvious, it didn't make sense for the local garrisons to hold out until the last minute, and after some deliberation, the local garrisons unanimously decided to evacuate now. If they waited until the last moment, their horses would probably not be able to outrun the monsters of the Dark Devils, and those people would not need to rest at all, and they could travel continuously all day.

Sherman respected their decision, and by this time the local garrison had done their duty, and there was no need for them to die in vain. The local soldiers cleaned up briefly, then mounted their horses, said goodbye to the Knights, and rode out of the fortress.

Seeing the departure of the local soldiers who had been fighting together for several days, Sherman instructed his men to feed the Thor Birds enough and then prepare to leave at any time, the fortress could no longer be held. At this moment, the soldier in charge of watching from the cliff suddenly landed in the fortress with the Thor Bird and hurried to report the situation to Sherman.

"Oh no, my lord!" said the lookout soldier anxiously, "I saw several huge snowballs pushed by the Dark Devils from the hillside. ”

"What?Snowball?" Sherman was stunned for a moment, then understood what the other party was trying to do. Sherman sneered in his heart: "It's also thanks to these people that they can think of such a way, probably only these monsters can do such a thing." ”

Sherman led a few people to fly to the top of the cliff to watch, and sure enough, he saw countless Dark Devils pushing several huge snowballs towards the fire on the hillside, those snowballs were two people high, and the weight was unknown, if they pushed the snowballs onto the fire, the melting snow was enough to completely submerge the fire.

Sherman knew that it was almost impossible to stop the other party's attempt now, and they couldn't push it back with those huge snowballs, but it was still okay to do some harassment appropriately, at least for a little longer.

"Come on, send two squads to shoot the Dark Devils in the air as they push snowballs, and delay them as much as possible. Sherman ordered.

Soon two squads were dispatched, and they drove the Thor Bird to shoot non-stop from the sky at the Dark Devils who were carrying snowballs. The speed at which the Dark Devils were shot slowed down in transporting the snowballs, but the Dark Devils continued to push the snowballs up the hillside regardless of life or death.

Some of the soldiers fired at the snowballs, hoping to break them up, but the attempt was futile, as the huge snowballs were scattered but still intact. Soon the soldiers ran out of bullets and had to retreat to the fortress, and Sherman saw everything clearly, knowing in his heart that it was impossible to stop the Dark Devils.

Finally, the Dark Devil pushed the snowball in front of the fire, and the big snowball of white flowers crushed the burning fire, countless sparks splashed everywhere, and the snow melted by the high temperature quickly extinguished the flames, and the burning fire rose with billowing smoke. Immediately after that, the second and third snowballs were also pushed into the fire, and the fire that had been burning for three days was finally completely extinguished.
