"Where did these dark creatures come from, and why do they look different from the past?"
"Yeah, look at those death knights, they are arranged neatly and in a unified formation. Isn't this too scary?"
"It's not just death knights. Look at those skeleton soldiers. Although they don't look as neatly arranged as the death knights, they actually know how to distinguish between melee skeletons and skeleton shooters. Those skeleton shooters are all lined up behind the melee skeletons."
"Look, those skeletons with golden soul fire in their heads are the same as Duke Miller said, wearing mage uniforms and holding staffs!"
"This... dark creature also has a magician. God of Glory, are you sure I'm not dreaming?"
As the details of the scene outside the city became clearer and clearer, the coalition nobles became more and more shocked.
Although the dark creatures in the past would make everyone feel like they were facing powerful enemies, when they looked at them, the nobles looked at them like wild beasts.
But now, the scene outside the city clearly informed everyone.
The team of dark creatures outside the city is no longer a chaotic team of beasts, but an army with the same discipline as their human race.
"Everyone, we seem to be surrounded!"
The nobles of the principality were surprised, but the powerful men of several major empires and Theodore were more concerned about their current situation.
Not only did the formation of the dark creatures outside the city change, but from a distance, they were keenly aware that the aura emitted by these dark creatures had become stronger.
For example, the original melee skeleton soldier is at most equivalent to the strength of an ordinary guard.
But now he already has the strength of the first level of bronze.
The third-level death knight was originally equivalent to the human race's bronze high-level knight.
But now it is clear that the Silver Knight has the strength.
Although the improved strength is only one or two levels apart, when it is based on a huge numerical base, this is definitely a terrifying thing.
A rough estimate of the number of dark creatures outside the city is at least 70,000 to 80,000, although the number is still much smaller than that of the coalition forces.
But everyone has no doubt that if they fight these dark creatures in the wild, they will probably lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
"Have we been plotted by dark creatures?"
Several nobles immediately received this answer.
Because there is no such coincidence in the world, they entered the castle on the front foot.
Behind them were 70,000 to 80,000 unique dark creatures surrounding them.
What's more important is that there are dark creatures in the Duke's Castle, which also proves that their coalition is really plotted by the dark creatures.
"President Theodore, and other representatives of the empire, what should we do now?"
A group of nobles from the small principality discovered the problem belatedly and became even more horrified.
Then they all turned their attention to several sky knights and Theodore.
Several major empires and Theodore were making decisions along the way, so when faced with this crisis, everyone naturally turned to them.
"Although I don't know why these dark creatures suddenly become different, it is obvious that we are being plotted by these dark creatures. Fortunately, there are not many of these dark creatures, so I think we should break out as soon as possible."
"That's right, there are endless dark creatures in this land of death. There are only 70,000 to 80,000 dark creatures outside the city. We can definitely break through. Otherwise, if we are surrounded by dark creatures that exist in the city and are wandering elsewhere, it will probably be even worse.
Danger!"
"Okay, since everyone has decided to break out, let's take action immediately!"
Although being plotted by dark creatures, everyone was fortunate that the number of these dark creatures was not large.
Therefore, everyone quickly unified their opinions and prepared to break out.
After all, with their 20,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses, they have a very good chance of winning against the dark creatures with only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.
Even if you pay some losses, it is still better than being besieged in the city.
Woohoo!
And soon, the rally call came from the city.
The guards immediately received orders to retreat.
Everyone was extremely happy before to successfully capture such a big city, but now they were about to flee without even getting their butts warm.
Fortunately, everyone knew that there were dark creatures surrounding the city, so no one was dissatisfied.
"Everyone, you six sky knights will clear the way later, and the rest of our team will follow behind."
"Since the dark creatures designed us this time, they must have other plans."
"So, it's best for us to get away from this Duke's city as quickly as possible, and wait until it's safe before we talk about anything else."
When a group of coalition troops gathered on the main street of the city and formed a long queue as far as the eye could see, President Theodore began to make the final arrangements before breaking out.
"Okay!" Duke Miller and the other powerful men in the empire did not object.
In times of crisis, for the safety of the team, they definitely need to take the lead.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Woohoo!
Immediately, the alliance team, led by several sky knights, rushed out of the city gate.
Woo!
"Ho ho ho!"
And just as the alliance team rushed out of the city gate, the sound of horns was also remembered outside the city.
However, this horn sound has no extra rhythm, and I don’t know what instrument is used to blow it. In short, the horn sound is more depressed and low-pitched than the human race’s.
And as this monotonous horn sound sounded, the team of dark creatures in the distance finally reacted.
Led by at least tens of thousands of Dark Knights, they also began to rush towards Duke Miller and others.
"Kill!" However, although these dark creatures are quite powerful, their formation is also remarkable.
However, under the impact of several sky knights and other earth knights, a hole was quickly torn open.
The alliance's team was like a sharp sword thrusting straight into the dark biomes.
However, although these dark creatures are different, their special characteristics of being fearless and fearless of death have not changed. If the alliance team wants to completely break through, they still need to continue to work hard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty the Pope, the alliance team has begun to break through.
"Haha, have you started to break out? Then give them a surprise!"
In a dead forest more than ten miles away from the Duke City, the Pope sat in an open space.
And behind him was a large area of densely packed dark creatures.
These dark creatures were very quiet and did not roar or wander around.
Obviously, these dark creatures have just been transported from the abyss through the teleportation array.
Moreover, there are more dark creatures here, especially death knights. According to a rough estimate, there are at least 50,000, and the other miscellaneous low-level dark creatures also number 70,000 to 80,000.
It turned out that the total number of dark creatures teleported from the teleportation array this time reached more than 200,000.
And the reason why only 70,000 to 80,000 people were placed outside the city was just to give everyone in the alliance the courage to try to break through.
As for actually escaping, that is absolutely impossible.
And as the Pope's order was issued, in an instant, 120,000 to 30,000 dark creatures began to march in order, heading towards the Duke City.
…
"Haha, the breakout will be successful soon!"
"Yeah, luckily there aren't many of these dark creatures, and we discovered them in time, so we were able to break through smoothly!"
"Yes, these unique dark creatures are really unprecedented, and their strength has been greatly improved!"
"Everyone, follow up. We need to evacuate quickly. We can arrange the next plan according to the situation after we are twenty miles away!"
"good!"
The nobles of the principality speeded up their horses one after another, while the ordinary guards also retreated while fighting.
Although everyone has not yet completely succeeded in breaking through the encirclement, there is already a slight look of relief on their faces, because there were no other accidents during the breakout.
In this way, all the principality teams continued to evacuate in the direction where they were stationed last night.
And just when everyone was about to reach the small hill not far from where they camped yesterday, several powerful empire men in front suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
"Yeah, why did it stop suddenly? Those death knights are still chasing after us. We'd better stay away!"
"Hey, wait, let's see...then...is that a dark creature?"
However, just a moment later, the little nobles at the rear finally noticed what was happening in the front.
I saw several figures on horseback suddenly appearing on the previously empty hill in front of me.
And these few figures are just the beginning, followed by hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
The dark creatures here are actually much older than those outside the Duke.
Moreover, there are several dark fire snakes among them.
"Oh my god..."
At this moment, all the nobles no longer knew what to say.
They never thought that one day they would fall into the dark creatures' serial schemes.
What's even worse is that now that they have left the city, they are blocked in front and pursued by soldiers. This is even more dangerous than inside the city.
"Look, is that the Pope of the Church?"
"That's right, it's the fallen one!"
"He seems to be coming!"
Just as the nobles were trembling, the dark creatures in front did not attack immediately. Instead, a man wearing gorgeous armor and a golden crown ran over, guarded by dozens of cavalry.
This man is the Pope of the Church.
"Haha, everyone, it's an honor to meet you. You should be surprised by my appearance!"
The Pope approached more than a hundred meters in front of a group of alliance nobles, and then smiled and said something.
"So it's you, Merck, you, the degenerate, and everything that happened today was caused by you?"
At this moment, the nobles still don't know why the dark creatures use serial schemes. This is obviously planned by Merck, a traitor to the human race.
"Yes, this continent has been away from the Lord of the Abyss for too long, so I designed such a strategy!"
"Merck, you despicable and shameless guy, have you forgotten that you are also a human being? What benefits will you gain from letting dark creatures occupy the sacred continent?" All the nobles were furious.
"What are the benefits? After the Lord of the Abyss comes, all of us can gain eternal life, and even the most ordinary serfs or slaves no longer have to worry about starving!" the Pope said with a smile.
"Bah, you degenerate, why do you like to look like neither a human nor a ghost so much!"
"Haha, okay everyone, I don't want to talk nonsense with you this time. I'm here to give you one last chance to actively throw yourself into the arms of the abyss!"
"How about it, are you willing? As long as we fall into the embrace of the abyss, we will all be members of the dark clan from now on!"
"Merck, it's enough that you want to be that disgusting thing, and you want to drag us along. Just dream, even if we are torn into pieces, we will not become a member of the dark clan with you!"
The nobles immediately yelled at the Pope.
"Really?" The pope's originally gentle smile immediately turned sinister.
"In this case, then you will only die!"
"Haha, so what if we die in battle? You degenerates and your disgusting masters will sooner or later be driven out and exterminated by all the races in our Holy Continent!"
"Do you really think this is the case? Let me tell you, the situation has changed!" When the Pope heard the clamor of the nobles, a trace of amusement appeared on his face.
"Have you seen these dark creatures? They are different from the dark creatures that came through space cracks in the past. They came through the teleportation array and retained all their original wisdom and strength."
"Moreover, there will be more such dark creatures coming in the future."
"So, what if there are sacred thorns? With wisdom, these dark creatures will no longer be instinctively afraid of the sacred thorns. When the time comes, all they need to do is kill all of you, and the sacred thorns will also wither!"
"Teleportation array?"
Many nobles had never heard of this object before.
However, the difference between these dark creatures today made them know that what the Pope said was probably true.
Duke Miller even remembered the dark scene he saw on the castle wall.
"Well, since you are unwilling to surrender, then welcome death!"
After speaking, the pope didn't hesitate and immediately returned to the mound with his subordinates.
Woo!
As the Pope returned, the sound of trumpets immediately came from the dark creatures on the mound.
Ho ho ho!
Following the sound of the horn, all the dark creatures moved and roared towards the bottom of the mound. The momentum was even more powerful and terrifying than when the dark creatures rushed out from the Duke's City.
"Quickly, retreat, let's return to the ducal city."
If there were only 70,000 to 80,000 dark creatures before, everyone could still break through.
But now that the number of dark creatures has reached 200,000, there is no possibility for them to break through.
After all, these dark creatures are not only stronger, but there are also several high-level dark creatures among them.
Moreover, they are still facing attacks from both front and back.
In this way, the only way to survive now is to return to the Duke's City and rely on the city to resist.
When the nobles heard this, they naturally understood the current situation and immediately began to turn their horses around, then led their subordinates and ran towards the original road.
Everyone was quite relaxed when they broke through before, but now they are being attacked from both sides and have become embarrassed.
For a moment, the alliance team abandoned their armor and fell into chaos.
Fortunately, all the nobles also used their full firepower, and with the help of several sky knights, everyone finally escaped into the Duke's City.
However, after such a setback, the human team not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost most of their various supplies.
