Chapter 89 The situation begins to reverse from this moment
"Grandpa, all the losses in the past few days are back!" Netrian dismantled a corpse of a hero world soldier and said excitedly: "The South Gate Fortress is in our hands, and we will need support from the rear base camp in the future. I don't think any of them will dare.
Dilly-dally.”
Nettray was not as relaxed as Nettrian, he always felt something was wrong.
Those heroes are not the ones who decide the South Gate Fortress. The mages left behind by the heroes of the Cemetery Clan. With the IQ of the mages, they will not make such a stupid decision as abandoning the city wall.
But the other party just made this decision, abandoned the city wall, and started a street fight with their dark coalition.
Although the current opponent has a geographical advantage, they do not have an advantage in terms of numbers, and losing the city wall will allow more dark creatures to enter the city.
Haven't they thought about this?
It is impossible that every mage is not a fool, because a fool cannot become a mage.
As for the mage of the Cemetery Clan, after his previous investigation, each mage will inherit the wisdom of the previous mage.
The way they obtain magic is different from their witchcraft. The mage inheritance of the cemetery group mages will receive enlightenment after they come out. The magic passed down from other mages in the cemetery before the city was founded.
At the same time, you will also gain various memory experiences left by those mages.
Therefore, the Cemetery Clan mage is not just a mage, but also a group. The Cemetery Clan has inherited something that has been passed down for countless years.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that their choice is abnormal.
"Report!"
Just when Netre was struggling, an orc warrior hurried in from outside.
Before he could reach him, he shouted loudly: "Sir, something big has happened. There are a lot of skeleton soldiers outside."
Nettray suddenly appeared in front of the soldier: "Calm down and speak clearly."
The orc soldier stopped immediately and said breathlessly: "I am a soldier staying behind. I just looked back and found that a large number of skeleton soldiers were coming here. They were already fighting with the injured soldiers outside who were preparing to retreat.
."
"The number is very large, and their flags are the same as those on the city wall."
"Okay!" Nettley said to Nettrian: "You are responsible for directing the front, I will go back and take a look."
They are about a mile away from the city wall. The dark army has fully entered the city, and there are not many soldiers left on the city wall.
Most of the orc soldiers in the rear were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting, so they had to retreat from the front line.
By killing enemy creatures, especially those in the heroic world, they can gain additional double experience.
For these arms, this is equivalent to coming to heaven, where they can quickly improve their strength and strengthen themselves.
They will not retreat unless absolutely necessary.
Netre flew back to the city gate tower. As soon as he stopped, he was mentally locked and looked in the direction where he was locked.
I saw 20 corpse witches floating in the air. Although their aura was not as strong as his, they were not much weaker.
This is the ninth level soldier of the Cemetery Clan, the Corpse Witch.
The last time we met, these corpse witches were not so powerful. Although these corpse witches were weaker than him now, they were not much weaker.
"It seems that the minotaurs and other dark races have been wiped out by you."
Netley couldn't believe it, but had to face it.
"If we don't kill them, how could we be here?" Yu Cheng's hoarse voice came from downstairs of the city gate, which was already occupied by skeleton soldiers.
The orc warriors who were originally here wanted to close the city gate, but were directly killed by the ghosts. How could the orc warriors who were seriously injured fight the ghosts with full health.
"I must have gotten back in time."
Yu Cheng didn't even raise his head, as if he was talking to the city gate: "I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying, close the door and beat the dog. Does this scene sound like it now?"
Netley's expression became extremely ugly, but thinking of the approximately 15,000 dark creatures in the city, he sneered and said: "Our dark coalition has 20,000 troops here."
"Just those skeleton soldiers and these crooked men under your command, just want to defeat us?"
Although the city gate has fallen into the hands of the skeleton soldiers, Netre is not afraid. Now there are armies on both sides. You have me among you, and you have among me.
It is impossible for Yu Cheng to cast terrifying doomsday magic.
That would destroy not only the Dark Alliance Army, but also all the troops under Yu Cheng's command.
At the same time, he secretly sent an order to the outside of the city, ordering the Kodo Legion to come over.
There is a layer of witchcraft circle around the Kodo Legion. Except for the orc shaman, it is difficult for other races to find them.
On weekdays, as long as they don't want to be exposed, they can remain invisible and eat leisurely elsewhere.
This is Netre's confidence.
Let these skeleton soldiers go in, then use Kodo beasts to block the city gate, unite the dark army in the city, and attack from both sides to eliminate his biggest problem.
"Then we'll see!"
While Yu Cheng was talking to Nettrey, an army of skeletons walked in from the city gate littered with corpses.
Netley also used spiritual magic to tell the dark coalition forces inside to prepare.
He can't leave the city gate now. 20 corpse witches are staring at him closely, waiting for him to turn around and reveal his flaws.
The duel between mages is very scary. If you don't pay attention, you may lose everything.
So both parties are being cautious.
Yu Chengcheng had no such worries and rushed into the city on horseback. The Nancheng District, which was not in good condition originally, was now even more dilapidated. A large number of houses were destroyed, and the smell of blood filled the sky.
There are corpses everywhere, including skeleton soldiers, green-skinned orcs, and soldiers of other races.
It can be seen from the corpses on the ground what a cruel war this place has gone through.
Both sides fought hard and did not retreat.
He also saw several hero flags falling to the ground. In situations like this, the heroes would only be placed on the ground if they were defeated, or they would be chopped down by the enemy and fall to the ground.
This means that several heroes have been sent back to the hero land.
"Don't worry, I will make these dark creatures pay with their blood."
Pick up the hero flag that fell on the ground, put it in the hero's storage space, and return the flag to the hero after the battle is over.
The skeleton army filed in, and 1,000 skeleton soldiers rushed to the city wall to kill the orc soldiers remaining on the city wall.
The remaining 6,000 skeleton soldiers followed Yu Cheng and rushed towards the battlefield where the sound of fighting was rising.
The dark alliance forces were at the forefront of the garrison at Nanmen Fortress. Zombies and undead creatures from the unknown world were constantly colliding with skeleton soldiers. Green-skinned orcs were fighting other heroic units on the left and right sides.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The archers were still fighting tenaciously, and before the dark creatures entered the city, they shot them above the city.
After the dark creatures entered the city, they followed the melee troops and retreated again and again, but the bows in their hands did not stop, and they kept shooting the dark creatures that rushed over.
Many archers' jaws were cracked and bleeding, their arms were sore, and the fighting spirit in their bodies was close to being gone.
Everyone was holding on, but what shocked these people was the skeletons. They were disgusted with fighting with skeleton soldiers, but on the battlefield they found that skeleton soldiers were the most trustworthy comrades.
The skeleton soldiers are always in the most dangerous and fiercest places. When retreating, the skeleton soldiers stay behind, and when advancing forward, the skeleton soldiers rush to the front line.
These soldiers were shocked, and at the same time they felt much less disgusted.
Another reason that kept them strong was that they would never allow themselves to outrun the skeleton soldiers.
In the ranking of some military units in the Heroic World, skeleton soldiers are only the middle soldiers, and the strongest ones are spearmen and centaur warriors.
Look at the skeleton soldiers still fighting. As they are stronger than the skeleton soldiers, how can they fall!
Many branches of the military have relied on their faith to fight until now. As the fighting time was postponed, many people were already exhausted and unable to continue fighting.
They fought for too long.
There were so many dark creatures. The first group died, and the next group followed.
There are only so many defenders in the city, and the heroes have already taken their weapons to the battlefield and fought in person.
Now they no longer hold out hope that reinforcements will arrive. What they are thinking about is how to kill more enemies and how to hold on for a while longer.
Netarian received the news from his grandfather and knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately issued orders to the top leaders of the Dark Alliance.
Launch the final general attack.
Before the skeleton soldiers outside the city arrive, or in other words, the skeleton soldiers outside the city must not be allowed to gather together with their only skeleton army in the inner city.
If the two armies were to gather together, wouldn't all their previous efforts and sacrifices be in vain?
The Dark Alliance launched a more violent offensive.
"Deputy leader, I can't bear it anymore!"
A human hero panted and said to Lin Ya: "I will retreat first, and they will be left to you..."
The hero's body was covered with wounds, and only a few archers and a spearman were left in the army.
With that said, the hero handed over the ownership of bow and arrow shooting to Lin Ya, and led the remaining spearmen to rush into the dark creatures.
After a few vigorous slashes, the mutated zombie's claws pierced into the body, and then disappeared.
Heroes cannot be killed, but they are not immune to the pain.
The heroes around Lin Ya disappeared one after another, and in the end she was the only hero left, with all the archers behind her.
Heroes of other races gave her control of the long-range units, so that they could return directly to the heroic world after losing the battle.
They are not afraid that Lin Ya will return the army to them after the battle. Everyone has signed a contract and they belong to the same alliance, so they will not do such a thing.
Watching the heroes disappear one by one, Lin Ya felt sad, and that feeling made her heartbroken.
She really wants to ask the Corpse Witch, where are the reinforcements you mentioned? The alliance leader you mentioned will come.
He also said that they were the only winners of this battle.
Look at the boundless dark alliance outside, with so many dark creatures, how could they possibly win?
As if feeling Lin Ya's resentment, the Corpse Witch, who had been directing the skeleton soldiers to fight, opened his eyes and floated into the air.
"All South Gate Alliance troops obey the order, attack, and fight out."
"Alliance leader, lead the skeleton army to kill from the outside in. Cooperate with the inside and outside to destroy the dark creatures together."
After speaking, the Corpse Witch fell to Lin Ya's side: "City Master Lin, the master has returned and he needs our help.
I want to lead the army to fight a way out of the dark creatures and contact the troops outside.
Skeleton soldiers have no explosive power. It is impossible to let them continue to fight against dark creatures, and also allow them to burst out their power in a short period of time and create a gap in the dark army.
I need your help."
"Help?" Lin Ya felt happy and extremely angry at the same time: "Look around us, who can still fight out? The melee troops suffered an almost devastating blow.
The largest number of troops we have are actually long-range troops and flying troops.
How do you want us to help?
If he comes back earlier, we can help him, but please forgive me, we can't do anything now."
There are only about a hundred first-level soldiers left in the surrounding heroic cities, and most of them are still seriously injured.
The most remaining ones are archers, but how much combat effectiveness do these long-range units have left after fighting from morning to now?
The corpse witch was silent for a while. This battle was too cruel. Except for the first hour of the battle, the two sides were relatively peaceful.
However, after they abandoned the city wall, the street fighting in the city was a fierce collision from beginning to end.
They are fighting desperately for every street and every building. They are fighting desperately.
Every inch of land must be fought for.
The number of troops currently in the hands of the hero is pitifully small.
There are only about 1,200 skeleton soldiers left out of 3,000.
This shows how brutal this battle was.
"I still have 15 centaur warriors!"
Sun Yunqing stood up, followed by 15 centaur warriors with heads and horses behind them: "After the elven heroes left, they left their troops to me. Now there are still 15 centaur warriors left."
"The centaur warriors can break through the dark creature blockade after charging, but the skeleton soldiers must catch up in time to withstand the dark creatures on both sides."
"This is no problem." Corpse Witch agreed immediately.
"I asked the archers to clear an open space first, and then chose Suzaku Avenue as the breakthrough point!"
Lin Ya suppressed the anger in her heart, this was their chance to make a comeback.
"good!"
Zhuque Avenue is one of the four main roads in the gate fortress, including Baihu Avenue (Beicheng District), Xuanwu Avenue (XC District), and Qinglong Avenue (DC District).
Each road is more than 24m wide and leads straight to the city gate area.
"You have to let them respond, otherwise we will be surrounded by dark creatures when we rush over." Lin Ya reminded.
The corpse witch closed his eyes and said, "The master has led the army to the other side. It is only four hundred meters away from us. I have recently sent a message mentally."
Ten seconds later.
"The master has sent ghosts to assist us, centaurs are ready!"
Fifteen centaur warriors, armed with spears, and skeleton soldiers grow a path.
Ta Ta Ta....
The horses' hooves trampled on the stone slabs, making a crisp sound, and 15 centaur warriors ran wildly. In front of the centaur warriors were the green-skinned orcs, who were fighting the skeleton soldiers.
Suddenly, the skeleton soldier turned around and ran away at a very fast speed. Before the orc could react, he saw the centaur warrior running towards him.
Those centaurs again!
puff!
The spear hit the orc's neck, sending the man flying backwards.
"rush!"
Prepare a hundred skeleton soldiers in good condition and charge behind the centaur warriors.
The centaur warriors rampaged in front, killing five or six green-skinned orcs. The green-skinned orcs on both sides wanted to surround them, but the skeleton soldiers had already followed up, resisting the orcs on both sides.
The centaur warriors rushed forward with all their strength, but as their speed slowed down and they lost their impact, they had to rely on their lives to rush forward.
There was a wound on their bodies where bones could be seen. None of the centaur warriors chose to retreat. They ignored the wounds on their bodies and kept waving the spears in their hands.
Even if they die, they will die on the road to charge.
We must not let these skeleton soldiers look down upon us!
The centaur warrior who was at the front finally couldn't bear the heavy injuries and fell to the ground when he rushed about 50m into the enemy's formation.
The second centaur acted as a charger. His injuries were not serious and blood was flowing, but no one chose to retreat.
This is their choice.
Go forward with courage.
brush!
A black shadow suddenly flashed from a distance, and five or six orcs fell down nearby. The ghosts covered in black gas finally arrived on the battlefield.
They took a look at the centaur at the front and plunged into the crowd of orcs. With a wave of their sharp claws, they immediately felled four or five orc warriors.
"Follow us."
Eight ghosts opened the way in front and asked them to kill all the orcs. They couldn't do it, but they could still make a passage through the orc army.
They only need to be responsible for the enemies in front. There are centaurs and skeleton soldiers on the left and right sides to help them block them. There are not many enemies they face, and their strength is far weaker than them.
The orc warriors also received orders from the adults at the rear. They were also desperately resisting and stopping them, but the sharp claws of the ghosts turned them into cold corpses.
Even the leather armor made of animal skins on their bodies is weak against arrows and feathers, not to mention the extremely sharp claws of the ghost.
These are sharp claws that can penetrate magic shields.
Lin Ya, who was behind, saw the ghost appear, and her anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
If you rely solely on the army in the hands of heroes, there is no possibility of breaking through the orc army.
With so many orcs, it is impossible to watch you open a passage. The orcs on the left and right sides can be killed by just coming over and killing the skeleton soldier in the middle.
Why they were able to block the orc army's attack for so long was because of the favorable location and the buildings in the city.
Otherwise, the orc army would have swallowed them up long ago.
Even so, the skeleton army on the other side could not withstand the siege of zombies and undead creatures at this time.
The most difficult thing for the heroes present to deal with is zombies and undead creatures. Mainly, like skeleton soldiers, these two have endless physical strength and are not afraid of death when fighting.
Except for skeleton soldiers, the number of other hero units is too small to form a military formation, and they are no match for these two units.
Skeleton soldiers are responsible for resisting the areas with the strongest attacks, which is why the losses of skeleton soldiers are so high.
However, the situation began to turn around from this moment on.
Yu Cheng rode his horse and rushed into the orc army, swung his sword, and cut off the head of an orc warrior. The full-level skeleton soldiers were like tigers among sheep.
In the city, Netarian specially arranged the troops responsible for resisting the attack of the skeleton soldiers, but they were suddenly destroyed by the skeleton soldiers.
