The guards immediately stopped when they heard this, and then noticed the splashing sound coming from the grass.
"What's going on over there?"
"Ah, look, there are so many dark creatures!"
"Ah! There must be at least hundreds of them here! Look, is that the Dark Knight? Why...why are there so many!"
The crowd was not kept waiting for long, and just when they were a little confused, dark creatures finally emerged from the pitch-black grass over there.
The number of these dark creatures is so large that it is scary, there are at least five or six hundred of them.
Among these dark creatures, in addition to the most common skeleton soldiers, there are dozens of death knights and hell dogs.
In addition, the most difficult dark knights appeared. The number of these dark knights reached more than ten. Under their leadership, a group of dark creatures slowly gathered towards the castle position.
Facing such a large wave of unprecedented dark creatures, the guards who were already smiling suddenly changed their colors.
"Everyone, be on guard, Vivian, the long-range attack team will start attacking quickly!"
"Quiclemon, you are responsible for supporting the spear squad!"
"Yes, sir! Everyone, be on alert!"
"The long-range attack team gives priority to attacking high-level dark creatures! The longbowmen aim and shoot freely."
As Nalant issued orders one after another, the captains of each group began to execute them nervously.
"Death is coming! Tremble, you humble creatures!"
When the shouts from Nalant's side ended, low and emotionless words were also heard from the front, which were uttered by the death knight among the dark creatures.
Ho ho ho!
And with the anger of more than a dozen death knights, whether they were skeleton soldiers or hell dogs, they all began to rush towards Nalant's position as if they had been beaten to death.
All of a sudden, the originally bright night was filled with a strong aura of death.
"shooting!"
"shooting!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Wow! Wow!
Along with the charge of the dark creatures, the long-range attack team and long archers began to show off their power again.
However, there were too many dark creatures this time. Although more than a hundred dark creatures were taken away in this wave, it did not affect the charge of the dark creatures.
Boom!
Boom!
In just a moment, while the bed crossbow was being reloaded, the dark creature had already arrived in front of the position.
"Spearman, raise your spear and stab!"
Seeing this situation, the two spear captains in charge did not hesitate and immediately ordered the attack.
Bang bang bang!
Following the attack of the spear team, the dark creature that rushed up first was immediately knocked upside down and its bones flew everywhere.
Of course, compared to these five or six hundred dark creatures, only dozens of skeleton soldiers were stabbed to death, which is nothing.
The dark creatures behind were still charging forward without stopping.
Faced with such a fierce and fearless attitude, and feeling the aura of death coming from the pavement, the expressions of some guards changed, and even their arms could not help but tremble.
"Hold still, don't retreat. The dark creatures can't get through. Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot!" The two team captains were startled when they saw this, and immediately shouted sternly.
This was their first command, and if any of their men fled, their good life would be over.
Following the two men's sharp scoldings and the dark creatures rushing forward, they all fell into a deep ditch more than four meters wide. The guards, who were facing the dark creatures for the first time, felt a little relieved.
"Quick, what are you doing standing still? Hurry and stab them, the ones in the pit first!"
However, don't think that these dark creatures that fall into the pit are no threat.
You must know that they can even climb the castle walls. This is only a deep ditch of six or seven meters. If they are allowed to climb, it will not take long.
Although Nalant had placed a lot of wooden spikes underneath in advance, it didn't have much effect on the skeleton soldiers who were fine as long as their heads didn't explode.
With the urging of the two captains again, the guards aimed their spears at the dark creatures below.
Thanks to their superior position, it was easier for the guards to stab the skeletons in the pits.
For a moment, the situation seemed to have become a little more stable.
However, this must be just an illusion, because higher-level dark creatures such as Hell Hounds, Headless Horsemen and Death Knights are still behind.
Ho ho ho!
Sure enough, at the next moment, several hell dogs came to the edge of the deep ditch.
This beast was not completely brainless. He stopped in front of the deep pit in time.
Seeing that he couldn't get past it, he simply opened his bloody mouth on the spot, and then spit out the fireball spell in his mouth.
"Watch out for fireballs!"
The two captains did not participate in the battle, but kept observing the situation. When they saw this scene, they immediately shouted out.
Boom boom boom!
"Ah! My face!"
"Ah! My hand, my hand hurts!"
But it is a pity that in such a chaotic scene, even if there are reminders, casualties are always inevitable.
Two guards in the front row reacted a moment too late and just picked up the square iron shields they had prepared from the ground. However, before they could fully protect themselves, the fireball hit the iron shields.
In an instant, the bursting flames enveloped the two of them. One person's face was sprayed with flames, while the other person's entire arm was set on fire.
The thick linen gown was burned to pieces and stuck directly to the bloody arm.
"Asshole, hurry up, pull them to the back!" Upon seeing this, the guard captain immediately stepped forward and ordered his team members to pull the two of them to the back.
At the same time, other people were sent to fill the vacancies of the two.
"Ah! My face, captain, my face hurts!"
"Captain, my arm, look at my arm!"
When the two were pulled to the back of the team, the wailing became more obvious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is not that the two of them are cowardly, the main reason is that the injury burned by the fireball is many times more uncomfortable than being slashed by a sword.
Approaching the two of them, the team leader and the team member responsible for pulling could even smell a faint smell of barbecue.
The wounds on the two men were even more horrific. Not only were there a lot of blisters and broken skin, but a lot of the flesh had even turned black.
"Don't worry, we'll call the medics for you right now!" The guard team leader couldn't bear to see this, and immediately spoke to comfort the two of them.
As he spoke, he shouted towards the rear, "Medical soldier, two people are injured here, come and rescue them quickly!"
"Here we come!" As the captain shouted, several girls from the medical team behind immediately responded, and at the same time ran towards this side with several barbarian coolies.
"Captain Gurney... I'm afraid Kak is hopeless. How about we give him a happy life first? Lal may still be able to save his life, but his arm also needs to be chopped off!"
Before the medical team arrived, a team member who had just pulled the wounded man back saw this and whispered a suggestion.
Of course, this is not because he has a bad heart, but because the man whose face was burned was really seriously injured.
With such an injury, even if it was bandaged, it would only make him suffer for a few more days.
Not to mention whether his eyes and other facial features would be useful in the future, just with such a large area of burns, he would not be able to survive the next few days of skin ulceration, and then die of fever.
They can also be considered veterans on the battlefield. They occasionally saw soldiers who were burned to death during the siege. This was the process.
On the other hand, the other person's arm was only burned. It was easier to say that the arm would be cut off directly so that the arm would not fester and there would still be a possibility of survival.
"Forget it, let's hand it over to the medical team first! Yesterday evening, your Excellency strictly stated that no matter how seriously injured the team members are, they must be immediately handed over to the medical team and are not allowed to handle it privately!" The captain named Gurney said.
He shook his head helplessly.
Although he knew that the advice given by his team members was the most appropriate and the best way to help this injured subordinate, he did not dare to disobey the adults' strict orders.
While the two were talking, two girls from the medical team had already approached with the barbarian coolies.
"It's a burn. Quick, take it back to Captain Winnie!" Seeing such serious injuries, the two men immediately urged the barbarian coolies to unfold the stretcher.
Immediately, the stretcher was unfolded, and the barbarian coolies quickly placed the two wounded people on the stretcher, then lifted them up and quickly followed the medical girl towards the castle behind.
The two seriously injured guards were just a minor incident, and the battle ahead was still continuing.
Moreover, with all the dark creatures approaching the defensive positions, the situation has become more critical.
"Vivian, deal with the hell dogs first!"
"Quick, Raymond, the Headless Horseman and the Dark Knight are left to you!"
