It was almost evening, and the aristocratic district of Port King fell into a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.
The spacious King's Road is no longer busy with traffic, and the magic street lights on both sides have been deliberately turned off.
The crystal display windows that were previously filled with expensive luxury goods have all been closed with curtains, and the residence of the noble Z, which was supposed to be filled with dancing and singing, is also filled with deathly silence.
When it was learned that the main target of Skeleton King's army was King's Port, all the people in the noble area who could escape had already escaped. Those who really couldn't escape had at least sent their family members away.
Except for the three major families whose goals were too big to escape, almost all other small and medium-sized noble families had already moved away with their families.
In fact, considering the morale of the kingdom's troops, at this moment Wood VI should understand the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times. The war is imminent. No one is allowed to leave the country without permission for any reason. Violators will be punished as treason.
But although Wood VI thought of this, he did not have the courage and responsibility to implement it.
As a result, even the most elite Shining Aegis Legion in King's Harbor lacked the courage to fight against the odds because their relatives had already evacuated.
But it was too late to care about this now. Before the last ray of sunset dived under the Twin Seas, the human defenders deployed on the city wall saw the gray-white death fog rolling in from the direction of Xiangguo Plain.
There are also the cold will-o’-the-wisps in the death fog.
"All personnel! Prepare to fight!" The officers on the city wall immediately shouted loudly with somewhat distorted voices. These commanders who lacked experience in large-scale wars simply could not remain calm and collected in the face of such a formation.
Their panic quickly affected the soldiers around them.
Some professional soldiers had hot sweat oozing from their palms holding weapons.
The legendary powerful men from the three major families all gathered behind the city wall, and a legendary mage recruited by the royal family also rushed over.
All the core members of the entire Frank family are already in place. The ancient family motto of the Lion and Holy Sword family allows these relatively well-trained family officers to maintain the most basic calm.
They are now the mainstay of the King's Port defense.
"What is Marcy doing!? The enemy is already so close, why don't you let the mages and Amazons fire?"
At the foot of the city wall, Ron, the legendary mage of the Margery family, looked at the still quiet city and frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, Marcy is a good battlefield commander, and his arrangements naturally have his own intentions..." The legendary paladin of the Frank family shook his head, holding his long sword and looking quietly at the city wall.
That foggy sky.
What he said was not wrong at all. At this time, the Minister of Military Affairs of King's Port, Marcy Frank, had personally stood on the top of the city to supervise the battle. The reason why he was not in a hurry to launch the first round of long-range strikes was entirely because of those damn gray fogs.
Blocks the sight of professionals such as mages and Amazons.
And there is another key problem, that is, there are not many long-range professions such as mages and Amazons in the King's Port army system. If you fire rashly but fail to cause any big losses to the opponent, your own side's problem of insufficient long-range firepower will be the problem.
Will be exposed to the enemy early.
So he stood by the city wall and waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the opponent's troops broke out of the gray mist and showed their true colors in front of them.
The gray fog outside the city is still slowly coming towards the city wall. Under this ominous fog, the scenes further outside the city wall are completely invisible.
The soldiers on the city began to feel uneasy, and some Amazons and mages could no longer hold back.
Just when the gray fog was less than five or six kilometers away from the city wall, the death fog that swallowed everything like a monster's mouth suddenly stopped moving forward without any warning.
At the same time, a messy but huge trampling sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the gray fog, and a whimpering horn sound like a ghost's cry also sounded from the gray fog at the same time!
On top of the city, Masi's pupils shrank, and with a choking sound, he pulled out the gold-level saber from his waist with his right hand, and swung it fiercely in the direction of the gray mist!
"Mage Team! Amazon Team! Start attacking!"
The officers' orders immediately rang out from the top of the city. The impatient mage troops and Amazon troops immediately released their long-prepared skills towards the front of the gray fog.
Countless ice arrows, fireballs, and lightning balls of fire flew down from the city wall like fireworks lighting up the sky, hitting the center of the Aman skeleton cavalry army that had just rushed out of the gray mist!
Boom boom!!
Crack!!
Explosions and the tearing sound of lightning streaking through the air came from the battlefield. The first wave of thousands of Yaman skeleton cavalry who rushed out of the gray fog were instantly torn into bone fragments by the surging energy.
These monster projections that were killed by the gray mist and then resurrected in undead form are still projections, and their levels are only around level 30.
Among the human defenders on the city, most of the long-range professionals are from the Radiant Aegis Legion, and the levels of these professionals are generally above level 50.
The level suppression and the energy resonance between the skills made this wave of long-range strikes very effective, and a burst of cheers immediately erupted from the human defenders on top of the city.
However, seeing the effect of this wave of long-range strikes, Marcy's brows suddenly frowned deeply.
He is not like those rookie officers of the Shining Shield Legion who have no battlefield experience. He was once taken to the front lines of the second world by his great-grandfather for training, and he has his own sensitive intuition for the battlefield.
In his mind, the result achieved by the wave of long-range attacks just now should be able to kill at least tens of thousands of Yaman skeleton knights, but the final effect achieved was far lower than this number.
This gave him a very uneasy premonition.
Thinking of this, Marcy immediately shouted loudly towards the human defenders on the city wall who were still immersed in the sense of accomplishment of the first wave of successful attacks.
"Be on guard! Take your shields! The enemy's second wave of offensive is coming!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a large sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded in the gray fog outside the city!
As soon as this sound rang out, Marcy's scalp suddenly went numb. He was about to ask the soldiers on the city to prepare for defense against arrows, but at this moment it was already too late.
I saw countless pale bone arrows bursting out from the gray mist like a dense pale rain. They roared and cut through the dark night sky of the northern city wall of King's Harbor, like a huge wall full of spikes.
Hit the city head!
"Ahhhh!!!"
"I've been hit by an arrow!! Help!!"
"Pfft!! Uh..."
Ding Ding Dang Dang!!!
Hissssssssssssssssssss...
The top of the city was instantly filled with mourning. Only a small number of soldiers took defensive actions at the moment they were attacked. Most of the soldiers were unprepared and exposed to the pale bones and arrows, especially after they had just carried out a long-range attack.
Several mages and Amazon teams suffered the heaviest losses.
"Damn! That's a trap!" Seeing this tragic scene, Massi instantly understood that the group of Yaman skeleton cavalry who had rushed out of the gray mist were completely a bait released to expose him to long-range firepower.
The opponent definitely has tactical organizational skills that are not inferior to his battlefield commander!
