Chapter 108: The Main Castle
Menes turned around and ran back in a circle, and the nine-winged chicken was not so easy to get rid of, and a few flutters rushed up, and the cavalry that fell behind was directly bitten off by the chicken, and soon the termite beast cavalry also rushed over to besiege Menes.
Ordinary cavalry is naturally not the opponent of these strange beasts, so they can only run away without their lives, Menes is responsible for breaking the back, releasing an overwhelming winding shroud, forming a fishing net in the air, directly covering the nine-winged chicken that rushed over, the termite beast cavalry ran and released arrows, Menes couldn't dodge the left shoulder and received an arrow.
The feather arrow was full of power, piercing the shoulder blade and penetrating out from the other side, Menes gritted his teeth and broke the feather arrow, accumulating strength and roaring loudly, stopping the shout to nail the strange beast that rushed to the front, taking the opportunity to retreat quickly, the front was full of undead beasts, naturally they couldn't enter from the nearest main gate, so they had to make a detour and rush into the fortress from the side door.
The whole sneak attack was very successful, more than 20 cavalry were killed and wounded, and the others withdrew to the fortress, but the human-faced scorpions were basically destroyed, and the golden general roared wildly outside the city, and the alien beasts that had withdrawn again attacked the city wall again.
Without the attack of the stone egg, Menes' soldiers could defend on the city wall normally, and the battle situation was relieved at once, and another wave of attacks by the undead beasts was repulsed, and the soldiers lay on the city wall resting exhausted.
After this round of attacks, it is difficult for the undead beasts to attack again for the time being, in just two days, the undead beasts have lost thousands of troops, especially the main force of the siege beasts has basically been lost, so it is estimated that the fortress will not be able to be taken in a short period of time, as long as Menes holds on for a few more days, the commander of the left fortress will return to the fortress.
Menes arranged for everyone to take turns and get a good night's sleep, we are human beings and we must rest, otherwise we will not be able to continue to defend.
Menes was also exhausted, and went back to the room to sleep, and as soon as the sun rose in the morning, a herald hurried into Menes's room and shouted, "Report to your lord, the undead beast has reinforcements arriving, General Auden asked me to report." โ
Menes was startled and immediately got up, and hurriedly rushed to the city wall, the position of the undead beasts outside the fortress doubled, and thousands of strange beasts actually joined the battle group.
"Damn, where are these reinforcements coming from?"
"These reinforcements came from the north, and it is estimated that they are the alien beasts that originally attacked the Garble Legion, and now they have all gathered here. โ
"So, is there really a large herd of undead beasts in Gayble Fortress?Snuffru's news is not wrong?Where is Zรณse?haven't you seen it yet?" Menes asked.
"I didn't see Lord Zose, it is estimated that this group of strange beasts was originally an auspicious attack, attracting Zose to go to reinforcements and then kill back, Lord Zose had the wrong news, so he rushed to support Garble Fortress. Luca said.
"Hell, why are there so many undead beasts, and there aren't so many strange beasts that come out of the city of the dead with us?" Menes said.
"What now, my lord!"
"What should I do? Defense, that's the only way to do it, what else can I do?"
"Auden! There is no surrender in the war of the undead, and you can't retreat, you can only defend the fortress, today will be the most difficult day, spread my words to your soldiers, today's battle will be won, if you can survive by luck, you are my people, I will seek justice for you." Menes said.
Auden smacked his chest violently and said, "There is no return, swear to defend to the death!"
The undead legion has been assembled and began to charge, and the undead beasts that came to reinforce brought more than twenty human-faced scorpions, not as many as before, but it is still very powerful to concentrate on bombarding an area.
This attack threw a large number of stone eggs at the area that had been damaged before, and under a strong bombardment, a tower of the city wall collapsed, and the undead beast rushed towards the fortress with a shout.
Menes's catapult also began to be thrown, bombarding the strange beasts that rushed over all the way, the big centipede climbed the city wall again, the soldiers desperately slashed and killed, some people jumped directly on the back of the centipede and hit the skeleton monster head-on, the undead beasts did not expect the soldiers to take the initiative to impact, and began to retreat.
Menes stood at the head of the city and shouted to stop nailing some of the strange beasts, and the soldiers rushed forward and brandished their swords and slashed hard, taking advantage of the fact that the beasts could not move, killing one was enough to kill two and earn one.
Huh stopped, the beast began to fight back, the hyena beast rushed to the front, began to slash wildly, and rushed to the big centipede first.
The soldiers of the city defense can not withstand the impact of so many strange beasts, the hyena beasts full of feather arrows bravely rushed to the city, everyone fought at close range on the city wall, ordinary soldiers were difficult to resist the attack of the hyena beasts, and in desperation, they rushed over and jumped off the city wall with the beasts and fell to pieces.
Menes also joined the warband, wielding an encore hammer to fight, rushing there where it was most dangerous, constantly driving the undead beasts off the city walls, and the passages of the walls were piled with corpses.
More and more strange beasts climbed up, and after several hours of melee, most of Menes' soldiers were killed, and blood flowed down the city walls, forming a river.
Menes' magical energy continued to decrease, and it was almost impossible to hold on, and the godhead of the mummy king began to flicker.
"Retreat, retreat, enter the main fort!" Menis roared.
As long as the Kaba of the main fort is not destroyed, the chain of defense will not be broken.
The civilians in the fortress had retreated into the main fort, the soldiers were still resisting in the streets, the area of the main gate of the fortress was still in the hands of the soldiers, and the undead beasts were going down the passage, trying to open the gate.
Menes knew that it would not last long if it continued like this, so she had to retreat to the main fort to rely on the main fort for defense, the main fort was solid and reliable, and under normal circumstances, the undead beast could not be defeated in a few days.
"Set fires, set fire to the whole city. "Flame is currently the only effective means of killing alien beasts.
The soldiers began to exit the passage and the main gate one after another, setting fire everywhere in the fortress, and a thousand-year-old fortress was so easily breached that the entire fortress was soon in flames.
The main fort was crowded with civilians, and there were only a thousand soldiers left, and the bottom of the main fort was full of people.
The main entrance was completely blocked, and all the dismantling furniture, stones, and wood inside were used to block the door.
The undead beast opened the gate and rushed into the fortress, and those who did not come to enter the main fortress in a hurry became the ghosts of the beast.
Undead beasts slaughter everywhere, and the raging fire can't stop them from killing people.
Menes and the group could only stay in the main castle and watch the beasts wreak havoc.
The human-faced scorpion of the undead beast drove into the fortress and fired at the main fort from a distance, the stone eggs hit the main fort, the gerbil rushed to the bottom of the main fort to eat, and Menes' soldiers returned fire sporadically through the firing port, but they could not cause effective damage.
The main fort is the core part of the fortress, which is naturally very strong, and has a strong magical blessing, and it is difficult to damage the stone egg of the human-faced scorpion hitting it, and it is basically impossible to attack the main fort through this method.
The only weakness is at the entrance of the gate, where the stone egg desperately hits the entrance.
The soldiers in the fortress will not be able to attack for a while, everyone repairs in place, Menes concentrates the main soldiers in the hall, even if the door is breached, the undead will have to go up layer by layer to enter the Kaba secret room.
"Where's Snifru?" Menes asked.
"It seems to be in the Kaba Vault. Luca said.
"Tell him to come to me, what are you hiding in the Kaba Chamber now?"
Lukka immediately went upstairs to find Snefru.
Menes waited downstairs for a long time and did not see Snifru come down, so he was so angry that he had to go and see him himself.
The only person in the entire fortress who can use magic is Snefru, and this guy is actually hiding?
Menes climbed upstairs in a huff, and as soon as she reached the door of the secret room, she saw Lukka lying in the doorway, and Menes realized that something was wrong, and there was a traitor in the secret room.
Besides Snefru, Menes really can't think of anyone else?
Menes hid in the doorway and glanced quietly, and the Snifru was standing in front of Kaba's heart, his hands glowing blue as if he were absorbing Kaba's energy.
Menes gasped, what is this guy going to do? Kaba is ruined, the entire River Valley Kingdom will be in crisis, and there is a possibility of being destroyed, what good does he have to do this?
Menes did not dare to venture in, because the godhead of the king of her mummies had not yet been restored, and she was no match for Snefru.
Menes slipped down quietly and found Auden to tell him about the situation.
"This ...... How is this possible?Is the archmage a traitor?Is he in league with the beast?" Auden was also surprised, after all, he had never heard of a human helping a beast?
"I haven't recovered the godhead of the mummy king yet, I'm afraid it's not his opponent, we're going to work together to kill him, you go and call the rest of the mourners, I'll go find the secret medicine." Menes arranged.
Auden hurried to find the other mourners, only to say that Menes was looking for everyone, and Menes gathered together the remaining cauterizing elixirs.
More than a dozen mourners gathered, and Menes briefly explained the situation: "Now we must kill Snefru, as long as Kaba will not be breached in the main fort for a while, let's take these secret medicines together, go to the upper floor of the secret room, burn through the roof, attack him from above, and strive to kill him with one blow, understand?"
"Understood," everyone said in unison.
Everyone went up another staircase into the area of the nine-story watchtower, poured the potion on the ground, poured water, and the floor began to smoke, the floor of the main fort was so thick that it was blessed with magic, so that it burned for a long time and did not burn through.
The potions are running out, and they haven't bottomed out yet.
Menes couldn't help but scold her mother.
"What to do?" Auden asked.
"I had to force it open. โ
"We'll be alert if we force Snifruw open. Auden said.
"There is no other way, it can only be like this, it is estimated that he is now using magic to destroy Kaba, and he may not have the heart to come to us, smash it open. Menes ordered.
A group of men found some hammers, and the axes slammed into the floor, the sound of the hole shaking the floor.
Downstairs, Snuffou kept falling dust and rubble from the top of his head, and he also felt that something was wrong, but now was the critical moment to enter and he couldn't stop, so he had to step up the output of magic, as long as Kaba failed, the undead beast could rush in.
The zenith was finally smashed open, and Menes and the other mourners immediately jumped down with their swords and took Snefru's head.
