"I hope another human continent can come over as soon as possible!" President Theodore heard this and looked in another direction in the sky.
The outline of that continent is already very large, but according to the speed at which the dark abyss is coming, it will take at least another month for that continent to arrive.
In this way, if the Holy Continent can resist this month, it has a high probability of escaping this crisis.
The other kings also looked at the continent after hearing this, but they didn't say anything.
Seeing the dark creatures outside the city getting closer and closer, Theodore said directly to the kings: "Everyone, what happens next is up to you!"
Woohoo!
The next moment, horns sounded throughout the Duke's city. In addition to the soldiers responsible for fighting on the city wall, other auxiliary soldiers also began to continuously transport stones, hot oil and other defensive items to the city wall.
"Trebuchet, launch!"
Bang bang bang!
The human race took the lead in launching the attack. As the order was issued, thousands of large trebuchets were launched violently, and huge stone bombs rose into the sky like raindrops and fell towards the dark creatures more than a mile away.
Winter winter winter!
Wow! Wow!
As the raindrops of stone bullets fell, there was a crisp sound of bones falling from the vanguard of the dark creature army composed of skeleton soldiers outside the city.
"Ho ho ho! Charge and use the blood of the creatures in the city to sacrifice my master!"
Woohoo!
When they were bombarded by Duke City, the dark creatures immediately reacted.
With a low roar and roar, the dark army also sounded the rhythm of the charge with the horn made of beast bones.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"Kakaka, kill!"
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Suddenly, the sea of white skeletons outside the city sped up, and the slowly flying gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats on the edge of the sky also pounced on the Duke's city.
In just an instant, the gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats took the lead in flying over the Duke City.
"Elves, fight!"
"Magician Legion, fight!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Seeing these gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats covering the sky and setting sun like locusts, the elves and magicians on the city wall immediately attacked.
Suddenly, arrows and fireballs intertwined into webs of death, and countless bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles fell from the sky.
However, the number of bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles attacking Duke City this time was too great. Even if the elves and magicians attacked with all their strength, they could not immediately eliminate these airborne visitors.
Ho ho ho!
The bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles that surged up from behind came to the city wall. Without any hesitation, they roared and swooped down from the high altitude, and then rushed directly into the crowd of defenders.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Suddenly, shrill screams rang out from the city wall.
Many defenders were knocked down by bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, and then most of their bodies were bitten off alive.
Upon seeing this, the teammates around him immediately stepped forward to attack the bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles.
But these dark creatures are tenacious and extremely ferocious.
Facing the siege of surrounding soldiers, not only will it eject arc-shaped light blades from its mouth, but it will also pick up the soldiers with its sharp claws, then spread its wings and fly to high altitudes, and then throw the soldiers from the high altitudes, letting them fall to death.
.
"Elite Knights, join the battle!"
Faced with this situation, the kings of various countries who defended the city sent out their elite forces.
Now they are trapped in the city, and the elite knights are temporarily off their horses.
And with their joining, some order was finally restored on the city wall.
Of course, there are too many bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, and it is impossible to completely clean them up.
"Kakaka! Kill!"
And at this moment, there was an ear-piercing sound of bones rubbing against each other under the city wall, and the skeleton army finally arrived at the foot of the city wall.
These skeleton soldiers did not need any engineering ladders. They directly inserted the sharp bones of their palms and soles into the gaps in the city wall, and then quickly began to climb.
"Rolling stones, throw them away, don't let these disgusting guys climb the city wall!"
Seeing the skeleton soldiers starting to climb, the kings of the small principalities drew their swords from their waists and went to the wall to give instructions in person.
Following the order, the soldiers picked up stones one by one and threw them towards the city.
The stones smashed into the group of skeletons, as if they were thrown into a lake, and bone fragments rose up around them.
But even though each soldier had smashed down the rocks at the fastest speed, facing the large number of skeleton soldiers who were not afraid of death, they still seemed to be weak and weak.
These skeletons not only continued to climb the wall, but after accumulating enough companions or bones under the city wall, they began to climb up the wall on these companions.
If you watch this scene outside the city at this moment, you will see bones piled up like dirt and rocks under the Duke's city.
As the number of bones increases, the towering advantage of the city wall gradually decreases.
"Kakaka!"
Finally, after spending countless broken bones, the first skeleton soldier climbed up the city wall.
boom!
However, this skeleton soldier barely had time to make a squeaking sound and cheer for being the first to successfully climb the city wall, but a long sword directly chopped it to pieces.
However, this skeleton soldier is only the first one.
Then came the second one, the third one, the fourth one...
Suddenly, the voice of the dead skeleton was like a virus, corroding every part of the city wall.
And when these skeleton soldiers gradually intertwined with the city wall defenders, the dark knights from behind finally arrived. They dismounted and also rushed upward on the slopes covered with bones.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Seeing that there were more and more enemies, the defenders on the Duke City side blew the horns again.
"The Extraordinary Knights, kill!"
With the sound of the horn, the second wave of active forces finally came in and strangled the dark creatures that had climbed onto the city wall.
However, there are reinforcements here in Duke City, and dark creatures are also endless.
In this way, in the ensuing battle, both sides sent waves of force onto the city wall and threw them into the meat grinding ground.
"This is the first day of battle!"
At this moment, the kings and leaders of the six empires and several other races did not immediately join the battle.
Instead, he stood in the center of the city wall and quietly watched the battle going on around him.
When they saw that this was just an encounter and such a fierce battle started, the expressions of several kings could not help but become solemn.
The dark creatures are not afraid of death, and the tail of the dark creatures is still not visible outside the city at this moment. One can imagine what kind of attacks the Holy Continent will have to withstand in the future.
"Everyone, even if these dark creatures are just ordinary dark creatures, no matter how many there are, we are confident of holding on to them. What really needs to worry us is that we don't know how many powerful combat forces there are in this dark abyss!"
"Yes, didn't the last expedition team encounter the legendary Dark Bone Dragon? Such a terrifying guy is the real threat to us!"
"Look, those skeleton soldiers are heading towards the back of the Duke City!"
Just as several kings were worried about the next situation, they suddenly discovered that some dark creatures outside the city approached the Duke's city but did not join the battle.
Instead, they bypassed the Duke's City and began to move toward the rear.
"This is the fighting method of dark creatures, relying on numbers like locusts to completely fill an area at the same time. Just like now, more than a hundred years ago, all races in our Holy Continent were defeated steadily!"
"Fortunately, we now have the Sacred Thorns. Even if we are surrounded by them, we will not be trapped to death due to the erosion of the death energy."
"Moreover, we have deployed several lines of defense behind us. If they want to completely surround us, it is impossible."
However, the kings were not too surprised when they saw the movement of becoming a dark creature.
Because this is the favorite fighting method of dark creatures, relying on numbers to bloom in all directions and besieging all nearby cities where creatures gather.
With the blessing of numbers, dark creatures can overwhelm all cities and make them become turtles in a jar. Even if they want to break out and escape in the end, it will be difficult to do so.
And this is also the reason why so many races and kingdoms in the Holy Continent were directly destroyed and disappeared in the long river of history.
However, this time the human race had already made preparations, not only preparing enough sacred thorns in each city to resist the erosion of death energy.
Many sacred thorns were purposefully planted in the wilderness.
Although these sacred thorns outside the city cannot actively cause harm to dark creatures, they will cause dark creatures to subconsciously avoid areas with a large number of sacred thorns but no living creatures.
In this way, even if the human race wants to break through, they can break out along the areas where these dark creatures are sparse.
This is also an important supply line for cities to forcefully obtain supplies if there is a shortage of supplies in the future.
"Everyone, stop chatting. You see those big guys are approaching. We must not let them destroy the city wall now. It's time to take action!"
At this moment, Theodore suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation.
Because the giant dark pythons, the giant dune beasts and the dark earth dragons have already approached the city wall.
Although these guys cannot climb the city wall directly on the bones due to their size, they are currently the greatest threat to the city.
Because these guys are powerful enough, they are the best weapons for destroying city walls.
"Let's go! It's our turn!"
The next moment, the kings of the six empires rose into the air and flew directly towards the outside of the city.
Upon seeing this, the kings and commanders of the three tribes, the Orcs, Dwarves and Elves, also headed outside the city.
Immediately, an even more shocking and fierce battle broke out outside the city.
The kings of the six empires and the kings and leaders of the three tribes can already be regarded as the top forces of the Holy Continent.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they can face the dark earth dragon or the dark giant python alone.
But even so, due to the superiority of the number of dark creatures, the fight was still inextricable, and the kings could only barely block these dark creatures outside the city wall.
The battle in Duke City is just a corner. As dark creatures cross the Duke City, they begin to bloom in the surrounding cities.
At this moment, bursts of blaring horns were heard from every city, and then there was a fierce battle like the one in the Duke's City.
Of course, because the Duke City has the largest number of creatures, and the dark creatures have also noticed that most of the top powers of the Holy Continent are located there, most of the high-level dark creatures remain there.
This makes the battles in various large and small cities equally fierce, but the pressure is much less than in the Duke City.
When the fighting started ahead, Nalant received the same message only half a day later.
He asked Shirley to send Xiao Huihui and Swift Eagle to report the situation ahead immediately.
"The situation is not optimistic, but with the current quality of dark creatures, there is still no need to worry too much about the safety of Duke City!"
"In addition, it seems that the dark creatures ahead will not be able to hit us for a while, so we just need to wait quietly."
"If there is a city ahead that sends a team to seek supplies, then we can also respond according to the situation!"
After listening to Shirley's report, Narant called several of his subordinates to explain.
As for the dwarves, orcs or goblins, Nalant was not prepared to inform them of this matter.
Especially for the orcs and goblins, notifying them would probably be of no use.
These guys will not listen to their orders, they will definitely stay motionless in this city.
Because they were left in the city, their only order was to garrison, unless their superiors from each tribe came to issue new orders.
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, everyone, go down and have a good rest. Although we may not suffer any attacks in the past few days, the future is not clear!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nalant waved his hand and called back all his subordinates.
In the next few days, although the battle ahead was still fierce, Nalant's rear was as calm as ever.
Although there were occasionally a few bloodthirsty bats or gargoyles wandering around, they were all dealt with by Nalant.
Above these bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles sit skeleton soldiers or dark knights, who should be spies of dark creatures.
After being killed by Nalant, these guys didn't dare to get too close to their small town.
In addition, supplies from the Thorn Fortress in the rear are still flowing towards their small town.
The city in front also began to occasionally send teams to the small town to obtain supplies.
Although those cities were already under siege by dark creatures, because they had already set aside supply routes to break out of the siege, they could barely allow supply teams to come and go. However, the loss of manpower along the way was unavoidable.
But compared to the frontal battlefield, such losses are actually not worth mentioning.
In this way, time flew by and it came ten days after the siege of the city by the dark creatures began.
As time goes by, instead of decreasing, the number of dark creatures increases, as if there is no end.
In this way, although the Duke City and other cities are still holding on, they have not fallen.
But the casualties on the Holy Continent gradually began to increase, and the war also spread to more cities.
When more cities are besieged by dark creatures, it also means that it becomes increasingly difficult for the cities at the front to obtain supplies.
Just this morning, Nalant even saw a supply team coming out of the city near the Duke City.
According to the captain of the supply team, there were a total of 3,000 people and 200 carriages when they came. However, when they arrived at the small town where Nalant was located, there were only 2,000 people and only 3 carriages were left.
