Chapter 38: Defending the City
The remaining soldiers in the team stood up from the ground tiredly, picked up the swords and shields still stained with blood on the ground, supported each other and followed Labour into a barracks in the city. After the battle just now, basically all the soldiers
There were many large and small wounds on their bodies. Some soldiers were even more miserable. An arm or a leg was cut off by goblins. But they could only scream and after a simple bandage by the accompanying doctor, they joined other soldiers who were fine.
With support, head to Point Barracks
However, after counting the number of remaining soldiers, Labour's face turned gloomy. There were more than a hundred soldiers who followed him to Doro City, but now there are only sixty-one left. The remaining soldiers
Nearly two-thirds of them were still injured. In just a few hundred meters of entering the west gate, dozens of soldiers fell. Fortunately, the deputy commander Yadil had just received news that he and another
A team has entered Doluo City through another small city gate safely.
Two hours later, seven teams arrived at the central square of the city one after another. In the battle with the goblins that broke into Doro City, more than a dozen senior military leaders were sacrificed outside the city wall, and several senior mages were also missing.
.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a descendant of the Vivaz family. It seems that you have inherited your father's excellent genes! Not bad!" Yadil patted Vey on the shoulder and laughed. The other senior military leaders followed Labour.
When he and the Master passed by Wei Yi, they all cast admiring glances at him.
"You are a good nephew, and his future achievements will definitely be no less than yours." Labour walked over and said with a smile.
"That's right!" Adil laughed loudly.
Wei Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, and after a few words with his uncle and the others, he and Waverly walked on the streets of the city.
From the buildings on both sides of the street, we can see the prosperity of Doro City before the war, but now the streets are filled with soldiers passing in groups and convoys transporting weapons to various city wall strongholds, and there are very few pedestrians.
The street they were on was very close to the west city wall. The goblin attacks outside the city made a huge roar that echoed in the city. The huge vibrations also caused cracks to appear on the walls of many houses.
A few days before the goblins surrounded the city, the city lord of Doro City issued an order to evacuate the people. Nearly two-thirds of the residents and merchants in the city had retreated to the Sharon'er Empire through various channels.
The army of the Er Empire also marched to Doluo City two days ago to support the defenders.
"Do you think these soldiers in the city can hold on?" Waverly said softly.
Wei Yi shook his head worriedly, but he still tried his best to use a relaxed tone and said: "Don't worry, aren't there still my uncle's Thunder Falcon Legion in the city? Doluo City is also a large military city, plus the defenders in the city
, it should be able to withstand goblin attacks.”
"But it's not like you didn't see it." Waverly said: "How many goblins are there outside the city? Isn't it at least several times more than the defenders inside the city?"
Wei Yi pondered for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Wei Weili, didn't you say that you were separated from the caravan? Doluo City can let the merchants leave, or I will talk to my uncle and let...
...You and the team leave."
"I told you I won't leave you." Waverly said subconsciously. She immediately turned red and added, "And my injury hasn't healed yet."
Weiy looked at Waverly's side face and blurted out: "Then I will continue to take care of you."
Waverly was silent for a while and whispered: "You can only take care of me for a while."
Weiyi and Waverly looked at each other for a while and said, "Then I will always take care of you, are you willing?"
The blush on Waverly's face deepened. After she lowered her head and was silent for a long time, she raised her head and nodded to Wei Yi with a smile: "But I am very annoying."
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then you just keep bothering me." He held Waverly's cold hand, looked at her with a smile, and walked slowly forward along the street.
go.
...
The next day, long and low horns sounded one after another on the four city walls. A few minutes later, the soldiers in the city lined up neatly along the stone stairs of the city wall and walked up the city wall, replacing the previous group of soldiers who defended the city.
At Yi's request, Waverly did not go to the city wall with him to defend. Wey wanted Waverly to rest for a day and recuperate her body and energy before going up to the city wall. After all, a mage's magic is based on mental strength and physical fitness.
of.
Weiyi is stationed at the south city wall, which is the most heavily attacked of the four walls and is also one of the most defensive. In addition, stationed at the city wall are the Thunder Falcon Legion led by Yadir and Labour.
, Wei Yi wore standard protective armor and followed the legionnaires to climb the southern city wall.
The south city wall is the shortest of the four walls. Both ends of the city wall are built closely against the mountain. The thirty-meter-high and ten-meter-wide city wall has withstood countless waves of goblin attacks, but it still stands intact on the ground.
The nearly 2,000-meter-long city wall protects the safety of Doluo City like a natural moat.
Behind the gap in the broken battlements, soldiers in armor were already standing. They were holding two-meter-long spears. Whether it was their armor or weapons, there was an eagle-shaped pattern wrapped in thunder and lightning. This
It is also the symbol of the Thunder Falcon Legion.
The soldiers stared intently at the dark army of goblins outside the city, expressionlessly holding the spears in their hands.
Weiyi was assigned to the left side of the city wall by Yadil, which is also the area where senior military leaders in the legion gathered to garrison. Yadil made this arrangement somewhat selfishly, after all, he was his nephew!
The people closest to Wei Yi were the people he was familiar with - the thin senior leader of the team and the mage Lianna. After they greeted Wei Yi, they concentrated on guarding against the goblin army that was attacking the city at any time.
Wei Yi secretly looked at the situation on the city wall. There was a ten-meter-high turret every twenty meters on the city wall. Five huge hard crossbows were installed on the top of each turret. Ten long arrows that were as thick as forearms were already there.
It was installed on the strings, and the mechanical 'click' sound sounded one after another on the silent city wall.
"Woo, woo, woo!" The horn sound suddenly sounded in the goblin army six or seven hundred meters away from the city wall. The goblin army suddenly became restless. In the goblin army, several passages were split from the black goblins, and many huge vehicles
The vehicle was slowly exited. The vehicle was equipped with a movable rocker arm tens of meters high. A huge leather bag was tied to the end of the rocker arm with a thick rope. Through the vast scope of the battlefield, Wei Yi could vaguely see the goblins heading towards
A huge black ball was placed in the leather bag.
"Be careful, the goblins are about to attack the city!" the thin senior soldier reminded Wei Yi in a deep voice.
Wei Yi's face darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the long sword in his hand. The sword flame slowly rose up on the sword, covering the sword and Wei Yi's hands.
Although the nearby soldiers were attracted by Vey's sword flames, they were not distracted too much. They knew that when the goblin's horn sounded again, it was time for them to launch an attack.
The strong wind roared along the city wall, passing through a dead battlefield. After several days of attacks, there was no flat land outside Doro City. Countless corpses and abandoned vehicles and weapons covered the area outside the south city wall.
The earth and smoke slowly dispersed in the sky.
"Woo!"
A horn sound that was more piercing and high-pitched than before spread across the battlefield, and the goblin army roared in unison, running towards the city wall in a black mass, bringing smoke and dust that instantly filled the entire rear of the battlefield.
