The 222nd chapter Lu Gaoyin defense battle (twelve)
On the gravel wasteland outside Lugoin City, and close to the coast of a large salt-alkali land, Whiteman Castle has been besieged by the demon army.
This medium-sized town is famous for its rich white vines used to make woven products. It is built on a higher rock slope and is surrounded by an oasis below the town.
In the wasteland era, a small town on a gravel wasteland could be harassed by monsters at any time, so the town's sheriff used the stream in the oasis as a barrier to the town, and built a six-meter-long barrier on the edge of the rock slope.
High earthen city wall.
It is precisely because of these fortifications and the desperate defense of the town's residents and professionals that this small town with a population of less than 5,000 was able to withstand the first round of the demon army's onslaught.
However, they cannot hold on forever. The number of demons outside the city is nearly ten times greater than the number of all residents in the city combined. They were able to survive the first wave of offensives entirely because of the geographical advantage, but now the demon army has begun to mobilize flying units.
Well, there aren't that many Amazons or mages in this town who can deal with these nasty things.
"Sir Kevin, what should we do?"
A soldier wearing leather armor and a steel helmet on his head, with a spear in his hand still stained with blood, looked solemnly at the giant mosquitoes and scavengers that had gathered into a dark cloud over the oasis outside the town, and looked at the thin-faced soldier next to him.
, asked a man wearing a blue-level chain-buckle battle armor and holding a gold-level saber.
This man is the Sheriff of Whiteman Castle and the manager of this land.
It is said that he was the first pioneer of gravel heath, and it was under his leadership that Whiteman Castle was built.
"You don't need to ask me, Sean, you and I both know that there is no way we can stop the next wave of offensive... So, go organize the women and children who have no fighting ability. The secret passage in the city has been discovered.
But at least we men can die in front of them..."
Sheriff Kevin held the hilt of his saber with a calm expression and looked silently at the howling demon monsters in the oasis below.
He has lived long enough, and his potential as a professional has already reached its limit. If he were the only one in this city, he would definitely raise his old friend and fight those hateful monsters until the last drop of blood was shed.
But as a police officer in Chen Town, he knew that he could not do this. He had to organize those who had always believed in him and break out of this town that had been passed down to them for generations.
It's okay for adults to say whatever they want, but the children must be sent out, otherwise even if they die, they won't be able to close their eyes and rest in peace.
"Not long ago, there was news that reinforcements would be arriving soon. Do you want us not to panic when we see reinforcements? Maybe we should continue to hold on?"
Sean clenched the spear in his hand with some reluctance. He knew very well how slim the possibility of a successful breakout was. With the current manpower in the town, they might all be dead before even half of them could break through.
But what if we don’t break through?
The only way to stay is to sit back and wait for death.
Instead of doing this, it’s better to give it a try!
But then he thought of a message sent by Sage Farah in Lu Gaoyin not long ago, which said that reinforcements would be coming to reinforce them soon, asking them to hold on, and strangely, they were asked to
Don't panic when you see reinforcements, let alone attack them?
Oh my God! Sean admitted that they were indeed not soldiers with formal professional training, but they couldn't even tell the difference between enemies and friends, right?
Although he was a little annoyed that Farah Sage looked down on him and others, he still very much hoped that what was stated in this message was true. Reinforcements would really come to reinforce them soon. Maybe as long as they persisted for half a day.
Hour?
"Don't count on it! The troubles Lugaoyin City is facing now will not be much smaller than ours... Where can they squeeze out reinforcements?
So press...dammit! Everyone! Get ready for battle!!"
Sheriff Kevin suddenly frowned as he spoke, and then his face turned gloomy. He saw that the demon army in the oasis had begun to take action, and the dark clouds above also buzzed loudly. This was obviously an attempt to
Signs of attack.
These damn devil cubs! They must know that they are ready to lead people to break out.
This doesn’t give him time to make good preparations and gather manpower!
Kevin spat on the blade and his expression became extremely serious.
At the same time, he stamped his foot hard, and a ball of silver aura suddenly spread outward.
The soldiers and professionals on the city wall were shrouded in this silver aura, and they suddenly felt as if they had endless strength. Their bodies, which had been a little tired from the battle they had just experienced, quickly regained their vitality.
This is Kevin's mutant skill - Vitality Aura.
His vitality aura can now not only increase the stamina of allies, but also make people feel energetic, and relieve people's mental fatigue to a certain extent. It can be said to be equivalent to a rejuvenation potion without the effects of healing and restoring mana.
.
It was able to withstand the first round of the demon army's attack before, and this mutated spiritual energy also played an important role.
However, no matter how effective his mutated vitality aura was, it was still not its original prototype, and it could not change the outcome of a war. Therefore, when large groups of giant mosquitoes and scavengers flew overhead, all the defenders on the city wall were still trapped.
In deep despair.
Some people tried to use long-range skills to fight back, but in the face of the huge number of monsters like dark clouds, sporadic long-range skills had no effect at all.
However, although they were scared to death, no one took a step back from the city because they had no way to retreat.
"Brothers! Pull out your weapons! Even if we die, we still have to drag a few people down!"
Kevin roared, the golden light on his saber flashed, and a bolt of silver lightning struck his head, directly knocking an approaching carrion bird to the ground.
Under his encouragement, all the guards burst out with far beyond ordinary strength. Countless flying axes and spears were shot into the air. Large swaths of giant mosquitoes and scavengers were shot down. Under the extraordinary performance of the guards,
, the flying monsters’ offensive was stubbornly blocked by them.
However, facing this astonishing scene, a female necromancer wearing pale armor standing in the center of the demon army in the oasis outside Chen Town showed a disdainful smile on her face.
"Ha...it's just a dying struggle..."
She was right, because the flying monsters that had an absolute numerical advantage soon enveloped the entire city wall. The casualties of the guards increased instantly, and the defense line quickly began to collapse.
And as the monster army on the ground also climbed up the city wall, the fall of this town has entered the countdown stage.
"The situation is decided... let's go... wait! What is that?!"
Just when the female necromancer was about to lead the monster army to march towards the last town, bursts of extremely harsh screams suddenly sounded in the sky over White Man Castle not far away.
Immediately afterwards, countless monsters with huge wings swooped down from high altitude like eagles, directly piercing into the surrounding net formed by the flying monsters.
These monsters sprayed out a blade-like ammunition from the mouth of their tail that could only bounce around, tearing open a huge hole in the cluster of flying monsters almost instantly.
At the same time, countless flying monsters as big as small houses also descended from high altitudes. They followed the passages torn by the flying monsters and landed directly on the city wall of White Man Castle, killing the terrifying standing snakes one after another.
Throw it on the city wall.
As soon as these monster snakes landed on the ground, they quickly opened the huge bone crown on the back of their head, and the explosive spines with terrifying power cooperated with the winged monsters to completely tear into pieces the surrounding network formed by the monster groups in the air.
Seeing these creatures, the female necromancer's expression instantly became ferocious, because she knew the owner of these monsters, who was the sworn enemy who had brought her to this point.
