Chapter 123: Iron and Blood in the Harbor (12)

In the early morning of the third day of the Kurast Harbor Defense Battle, the demon army replenished with hellish energy came back again.

But this time, the fox wolf did not send the Forgotten Legion to participate in the attack. Instead, the sheep-headed demon army and the Zakarum army gathered a large number of monsters from all over the rain forest and launched a fierce attack on the city wall of Kurast.

And this time, the blood-red and slender figures of the hell climbers finally appeared in the attack queue of the demon army. These monsters in hell are specially used as ladders to climb the city. After climbing the city wall, they can use their bodies to create

A long ladder for demons to climb.

On the frontal battlefield of the second world, this kind of thing is one of several commonly used siege creatures used by the demon army to attack human fortresses, and it is also the most widely used of all siege weapons.

Under the cover of a large group of monster projections regardless of the cost of casualties, the sheep-headed demon army and Zakarum berserkers finally broke through the long-range fire suppression of the professionals and insect swarms on the city top, and for the first time, demon clones began to attack.

Climb to the top of the city.

However, the melee professionals and a group of melee insect swarm units who had been prepared the moment they saw the Hell Climbers quickly drove back the demons who had finally climbed up. A large number of Hell Climbers

It was also quickly destroyed under the attack of experienced professionals.

The battle lasted from early morning to midnight. As the demon clones once again fell into the dilemma of losing power, the evil covenanters had to withdraw the attacking demon army.

After the calm in the middle of the night, the harbor defense battle ushered in the fourth day of tug-of-war. The Demon Legion copied yesterday's pattern, attacking the two legions and the insect swarm's city defense front one after another.

A large number of monster projections also serve as eye-catching cannon fodder in the battle. They will actively intercept various long-range attacks shot from the city top to protect the new force of the main force of demon clones.

But in the end, the professionals and the insect swarms of the two legions still tenaciously pushed back the attack of the demon army. However, this time, due to the high-intensity and long-lasting battle, the professional legions finally suffered some casualties.

Dozens of professionals from the Parliament Guard Corps and Demon Slayer Corps were killed due to various factors during the siege. This also marked that the Battle of Kurast Harbor officially entered the most brutal stage of mutual attrition.

On the fifth day, the demon army continued to attack in the early morning. An endless strange tide surged out of the rainforest like a torrent and slammed into the city wall of Kurast Harbor.

Blood intertwined into turbid waves, and the impact of weapons and various explosions replaced the thunderous roar when the waves hit the rocks.

At midnight, the demon army was repulsed again, and this time, both the two major professional armies and the insect swarm paid a more serious price.

The insect swarm troops are okay. They are not afraid of sacrifice or fatigue. They are not afraid of battle damage at all. Some of the insect swarm units that were dragged by the demon army that stormed the city and fell into the monster swarm under the city wall would also die before they died.

Put on some cushions.

However, the losses of the two major professional legions were much more serious. A total of 300 legionnaires of various professions lost their lives in this day's battle.

Before their comrades could express condolences for their passing, the siege began again on the sixth day.

Amid the torrential rain, the battlefield was covered in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The entire terrain outside the harbor city wall was raised by one or two meters because of the corpses of the demon clones.

However, under such a tragic scene, the huge torrent of the demon army has not stopped at all. These demon clones are essentially war machines like the insect swarm.

They are tireless and have no pain. Only the deprivation of power in the first world can give them a break.

Under this crazy high-intensity battle, the mental state of the warriors in the professional legion is getting worse and worse. Although the strong physique of the high-level professionals prevents them from being distracted in the battle, all the guards on the city wall are

The faces of the professionals on board couldn't help but have a hint of fatigue.

The endless and crazy attacks of the demon army finally achieved some results. On the sixth day of the city attack and defense battle, a total of 542 professional warriors slept forever on this wet land.

The professional legion's casualties are increasing rapidly, and the insect swarm's battle losses have also nearly doubled.

Fortunately, the insect swarm has unlimited military support from hidden insect nests throughout the rainforest, so it can last for a long time. However, if the battle continues like this, the casualties of the two professional legions are likely to exceed a thousand on the seventh day of the battle.

.

Moreover, a more serious problem has gradually emerged among the two major professional legions, that is, their pharmaceutical supplies are almost at the bottom line.

The Demon Slayer Legion had already experienced a battle with the main demon force at the border of the rainforest before, but at that time they had the support of the supply line from Kejistan behind them.

Before entering the rainforest, General Hodge, who had already expected that the legion might encounter a protracted war of attrition, asked his soldiers to use every inch of space in the inventory to contain potions and various other supplies. But even so, the professionals

Even if the number of potions they can carry in their inventory reaches the upper limit, it is far from enough to cope with this large-scale and extremely cruel siege.

What's more, there is also the Parliament Guard Corps, which has never carried out any regular supplies since entering the rainforest. The two legions have to share the last remaining supplies.

The supplies mentioned here refer only to rejuvenation potions and comprehensive rejuvenation potions.

These two precious medicines are the regular supplies for professional warriors in such high-intensity battles.

The remaining mana potions and healing potions, even if they are powerful, are completely unable to meet the requirements of a battle of this intensity and scale, and in terms of treatment, the mother insects of the swarm can also have a very good effect.

Therefore, what the warriors of the Professional Legion need now is not treatment, but a means to quickly restore mana and relieve mental and physical fatigue.

The cruel battles have exhausted these heroic professional warriors, and the crazy cycle of fighting with less than three hours of sleep every day is even more cruel torture.

Realizing that the condition of the soldiers on the city was deteriorating, the protected survivors in Kurast also began to do what they could.

Starting from the fourth day of the battle, whenever the demon army retreated, survivors would push carts filled with hot food to comfort these warriors who fought bravely for their homes and lives.

However, although the warm food and hot soup mixed with the enthusiasm and trust of the people of Kurast Harbor moved the professionals, this alone is far from enough.

The mental and physical fatigue of the professionals has not been relieved. If you rely only on faith, you will not be able to survive the day when reinforcements arrive.

The siege battle on the seventh day began quickly, and the battle was as fierce as ever. After this day's battle, the losses of the professionals finally exceeded a thousand.

In total, more than 1,040 professionals died in the bloody battle, and more than half of Asila's Iron Wolf Guards were lost.

What's more serious is that if the fight continues like this, they will consume all the rejuvenation potions tomorrow. Even the demon clones produce very little of this precious potion, so it is completely impossible to support war with war.

If a new replacement potion cannot be found before the end of tomorrow's battle, the battle the day after tomorrow will become more brutal than ever.

For this reason, the two army commanders Ocaso and Hodge almost scratched their scalps in worry.
