Behind the war zone in late winter, in front of the northwest gate of Midway Town, the town guard captain looked at the huge green portal rising not far away from a large expanse of demon soil with green evil fire, with a look of despair on his face.
.
Zhongtu Town is located between hills and mountains with complex terrain. This huge hill cuts across the northern and southern parts of the hinterland of the late winter war zone and is a natural dividing line.
Zhongtu Town, located in the only relatively flat basin in this hilly area, has been an important transportation hub from the southern area of the war zone to the northern area since its establishment.
Thanks to the convenience of transportation and the transportation fleets traveling from north to south, Zhongtu Town is far more developed than other surrounding towns. This can be seen from the two beacons of hope standing tall in the south and north of the town.
It can be concluded that in small towns behind the front line, only one beacon of hope is needed to maintain the operation of the entire town.
However, the developed transportation and important geographical location have also brought many problems. One of the serious problems is the large number of fugitive gangs who have gathered here all year round and returned from the front line.
On weekdays, these escapees would compete with other professionals who came to Midway Town for high-quality mission resources, and would even hang out in groups outside the town, specifically to plunder the combat merit points or mission badges of the teams of new professionals.
The guards and hornbills in Midway Town have carried out overt and covert cleaning operations many times to eliminate these unstable factors on a regular basis.
Midway Town is also the only town with a prison in the southern part of the war zone in late winter. The prison in the town houses a large number of escapees who have become lawless due to the crisis of merit points.
Under normal circumstances, although these fugitives will cause a lot of trouble, it is not a big problem. They only need regular suppression and arrests to make them obediently suppress their courage to make trouble.
But today is different from the past. An order sent from the frontline theater headquarters not long ago made the town managers a little panicked. The order mentioned that there may be escapee gangs recruited by the evil covenanters in the near future.
The identities of the Mine Cart Guards are infiltrated into the town, and there are probably insiders of these guys in the town to provide them with information.
In order to prevent the town's defenses from being discovered by the enemy due to the leakage of intelligence in the town, the administrator of Midway Town made a highly controversial decision - to expel all the identified fugitives in the town from the town.
And they are prohibited from returning until this incident is over.
Although this decision was originally a bit excessive, there is actually no big problem in doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times.
But the bad thing is that those expelled fugitives actually harbor a grudge and attempt to collude with the gangs of fugitives recruited by the evil covenanters to attack Midway Town together!
However, at first, this intelligence did not cause concern to the town guard.
Because Midway Town is one of the few towns in the southern part of the war zone in late winter that has a regular guard force of more than a hundred people.
After an emergency expansion some time ago, the number of guards in Midway Town now exceeds 300, and there are also a large number of professionals at all levels in the town who can act as backup troops in emergencies.
Coupled with the elite hornbill team gathered in the town and the defensive barrier of Midway Town itself, which is much stronger than other southern towns, the escapees should be unable to break through this thick layer of defense no matter what.
However, what the guards and town managers of Midway Town did not expect was that the enemy they would eventually face was not a ragtag group of escapees at all, but a whole group of people coming from the hell portal.
An army of demon clones gushing out!
When the huge portal with a height of more than 20 meters was born from the green lightning in the center of the Demonic Land in the stunned eyes of the guards professionals, everyone knew that there might really be something going on in Midway Town this time.
Big trouble!
"Be careful! It's a demonic barbarian!"
An Amazon with a pale face screamed. At almost the same time as her scream, a large group of demons with red skin, wearing simple iron armor, and holding huge maces emerged from the lightning storm of the Demonic Land.
Welled out!
These guys are up to two meters tall, wear simple iron helmets, have sharp teeth and claws, and look hideous and terrifying. The muscles all over their bodies are tangled, and they look very scary.
They are one of the main members of the demon army in hell. They have huge strength and evil and cruel warlike nature. The mace in their hands is very powerful when they are swung, and they can easily knock away some professionals with low strength attributes.
.
There were more than 300 demonic barbarians pouring out of the portal outside Midway Town. Their eyes were glowing red. They opened their mouths and roared while launching a fierce attack on the defense line of the town guards.
The charge!
"Raise the shield! Prepare the spell! Let's fight them back!" The guard captain mustered up his courage, raised his sword and roared, raising the round shield in his left hand high, and a layer of light golden aura glowed under his feet!
Bang! Bang bang bang bang!!
The demonic barbarians collided with the town's shield barrier one by one, and the entire barrier suddenly began to tremble crazily.
Although the barrier in Midway Town is much stronger than that of other towns, it is still just a defensive barrier for a small town. Being hit by so many demon clones at the same time, it suddenly becomes a bit overwhelming.
The center of the magic circle in the center of the town began to operate at high speed, and teams of workers kept pouring stored lighthouse crystals into the center of the magic circle to speed up the repair of the barrier.
On the other side, encouraged by the guard captain, all the guard members began to roar and launch a counterattack against the enemy.
One after another, the freezing balls flew out from the barrier, and were mixed with the arrows flying in the sky and blasted into the group of demonic barbarians.
In the sky, fire clouds gathered, and several meteorites fell from the sky with long flame tails, slamming into the demon army, setting off clouds of fire that shot up into the sky!
In the front row of the battlefield, the giant wolves and bears of the druids and the skeleton stone devils of the necromancers gathered together and rushed out of the protection of the town barrier, desperately delaying the attack speed of the demon barbarians and minimizing their impact on the enemy.
The pressure caused by the barrier.
Necromancers and druids were doing their best to assist from the rear, and various advanced curse skills and elemental skills were thrown around as if they were free.
Under the protection of the town barrier, the guards suffered no casualties. Relying on this advantage, they quickly eliminated the incoming demon barbarians one by one.
As the battle progressed, smiles slowly appeared on the faces of some of the guards who had not yet been to the front line.
The demon clones in the second world are nothing more than that. Maybe they can defend themselves against demon attacks?
However, before the smiles on their lips widened, the female Amazon who was responsible for monitoring the hell portal shouted again at the top of her lungs. This time, there was a hint of deep despair in her voice.
.....
"Pay attention ahead! The second wave of demons is coming! It's... blood monsters and blood mages!" (To be continued)
