"It's not good! It's not good! There is a large army coming from outside the city!" An officer in charge of delivering orders stumbled into the castle in the Imperial City of the Flame Empire, pointing outside and shouting loudly.
When he saw a castle floating in the sky with huge bats hovering above it, all his courage had disappeared.
Border areas, including some important military towns, have already gathered a large number of soldiers. As the most powerful of the four empires, the Flame Empire has mobilized nearly 1 million troops!
But these soldiers did not resist the enemy's attack. The enemy has now appeared near the imperial capital, which means that the more than 200,000 troops assembled on the road have been wiped out.
An officer came over with a long sword in hand, pulled up the frightened subordinate from the ground, and yelled loudly: "What happened? What do you mean a large army is coming to kill you?"
"The enemy is the enemy! They are coming! They are coming!" The officer who delivered the order pointed in the direction outside the city and shouted loudly: "The army with no end in sight! It's so dark! It's all black flags!"
"Let the soldiers go to the city wall! Prepare to fight!" The officer drew out the long sword from his waist, then shook off the frightened officer and walked towards the exit of the castle.
At this time, the trumpet to welcome the enemy had already sounded, and the guards responsible for the royal family's security had climbed to the heights of the castle and tore off the canvas covering the ballistae on the castle tower.
Then, just when they were about to aim at targets in the distance, they discovered that those targets... seemed to be a bit too many.
Yes, the dark demon army has no end in sight. The demon dogs are clustered around the four-legged orangutans, moving very fast.
This is also the reason why no defeated troops came back. Those defeated armies probably didn't even have a chance to retreat.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" An officer walked along the wall of the castle and walked past the soldiers standing behind the crenellations. He loudly reminded his men to prepare for battle: "Fight! Fight!"
When he saw the huge castle floating in the air in the distance, he seemed to be choked by something in his throat, and all of a sudden there was no sound.
He saw a dark area with dense bats surrounding the castle flying in the sky. When he was dreaming, he never dared to imagine such a ghastly and terrifying scene.
Where he could overlook, on the tall city walls outside the imperial capital, groups of soldiers were preparing to fight.
They drew their own long arrows from the quiver, then set up their bows and fired, and began to throw them at the demonic troops who were already approaching the city wall.
In the distance, arrows like raindrops first flew into the air, and then fell rapidly due to gravity.
The demon army that was attacking the city walls seemed to not care about life or death at all, and they still approached those tall and thick city walls regardless of the cost.
Standing behind the crenellations of the castle, the officer watched the soldiers on the distant wall pour some "kerosene" down the wall, and then threw the torch down.
A thick smoke rose into the sky, and flames shot up under the city. Because of the barrier of the city wall, the officer could not see what terrible thing was on the other side of the city wall.
He just saw that a steady stream of black troops were pressing towards his city all over the mountains and plains, and what blocked this black mass was the thick city wall of the Flame City, the capital of the Flame Empire.
This thick city wall is 20 meters high, and it is definitely a very terrifying and solid city wall. Because of such a thick city wall, Raging Flame City has never been breached by foreign enemies.
Because of the distance, he couldn't hear clearly what the soldiers on the wall were shouting. He could only see their movements, watching them hurriedly lower the ballistae at a lower angle.
Then, a crossbow arrow was shot out and disappeared into the black ocean outside the city.
"How's it going?" At this time, the Emperor of the Flame Empire put on his helmet and armor and finally walked out of the castle. He leaned against the crenellation and looked in the direction of the city wall, his eyes filled with nervousness.
In fact, the civilians of the Raging Flame Empire have lost count of how many years they have not seen the enemy approach the Raging Flame City.
On some archery towers on the city wall, ballistae were firing desperately, as if those expensive crossbow arrows were free of charge.
But even though these ballistae kept firing, the black sea still did not recede, and continued to surge towards the city wall.
From a distance, the Emperor of the Flame Empire could see the soldiers on the other side of the city wall throwing the prepared stones down the city wall.
Behind these stone-throwing soldiers, a group of archers were bending their bows and shooting arrows, and the commander didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping.
"What the hell... How can the inventory be sustained when arrows are released like this?" The Emperor of the Flame Empire frowned and asked the officer beside him.
The officer was also very embarrassed. He answered the emperor's question and said, "Your Majesty! I will send someone to ask and see what is happening on the other side of the city wall."
"And...and that one!" Pointing to the castle flying in the sky in the distance, the emperor of the Flame Empire continued: "Let the generals guarding the city think about it, if that thing flying in the sky flies
Come here, what are the countermeasures?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The general lowered his head slightly, then turned around, preparing to assign tasks to his adjutant.
But unfortunately, before he could speak, the general responsible for the security of the castle who was the first to step onto the castle wall couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
On the section of the city wall where he was looking, a black wave suddenly spread up. The soldiers of the Flame Empire who were wearing silver-white breastplates and lined with red clothes at the top of the city were instantly submerged in the black ocean.
.
The surrounding soldiers of the Flame Empire began to use their spears to drive away the black enemy troops that surged up the city wall, but their efforts seemed to have little effect.
The pikemen moved forward desperately, but the black enemy troops did not retreat. The two sides were entangled in each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
Seeing their formation being disrupted by the black enemy troops, even the emperor of the Flame Empire became afraid.
He put his hands on the crenellations of the castle wall, looked at the lost section of the wall in the distance, and asked who he was asking loudly: "How is it possible? How long has it been? How long has it been? The city wall.
