Chapter 222: The Battle of Lu Gaoin (12)
In the gravel wasteland beyond the city of Lugoin, the White Manburg near the vast saline coast has been besieged by the demon legions.
This medium-sized town is known for its abundance of white vines used to make woven goods, and its entire structure is built on a high rock slope surrounded by oases beneath the town.
During the Reclamation Era, the town in the rubble wasteland could be disturbed by monsters at any time, so the sheriff of the town used the stream in the oasis as a barrier to the town, and built a six-meter-high earthen wall on the edge of the rock slope.
It was thanks to these fortifications, combined with the concerted efforts of the townspeople and professionals alike, that the town, with a population of less than 5,000, was able to survive the first onslaught of the Demon Legion.
However, they can't hold out forever, the number of demons outside the city is nearly ten times more than the number of all the inhabitants of the city combined, and they can survive the first wave of the attack because of the geographical advantage, but now that the demon army has begun to mobilize flying units, there are not so many Amazons or mages in the town who can deal with these abominable ghosts.
"What should we do, Lord Kevin?"
A soldier wearing leather armor and a steel helmet on his head and a spear stained with blood stains in his hand looked solemnly at the giant mosquitoes and scavengers who had gathered in a dark cloud over the oasis outside the town, and asked a man with an emaciated face, a blue rank chainlock armor, and a gold-level saber next to him.
This man is the sheriff of Whitemanburg and the steward of the land.
He is said to have been the first generation of gravel wasteland pioneers, and it was under his leadership that White Manburg was founded.
"Don't ask me, Sean, you and I both know that we can't stop the next offensive... So, go and organize the women and children who have no fighting power, the secret passages in the city have been discovered, but we men can at least die before them......"
Sheriff Kevin calmly pestle the hilt of his saber and silently watched the howling demonic monsters in the oasis below.
He's lived long enough, and he's long since reached the limit of his pro potential, and if he were the only one in the city, he'd raise his old buddy and fight those abominable monsters to the last drop of blood.
But as a sheriff of Chen, he knew he couldn't do that, and he had to organize the people who had always believed in him to break out of the town they had been in for generations.
It's okay for adults to say anything, but the children must be sent out, otherwise even if he dies, he won't be able to close his eyes and rest in peace.
"Didn't there be news not long ago that reinforcements would arrive soon, and that we should not panic when we see reinforcements? Maybe we should keep going? ”
Sean clenched the spear in his hand a little unwillingly, he knew very well in his heart how small the possibility of a successful breakthrough was, with the current manpower in the town, I was afraid that if he didn't rush half, he would all die.
But what if you don't break through?
Staying can only be the end of sitting and waiting.
Rather than that, it's better to give it a go!
But then he thought of a message sent by the Farah Sage in Lugoin not long ago, which said that reinforcements would come to reinforce them soon, so that they could hold on for a while, and it was strange that they should not panic when they saw reinforcements, let alone attack them?
Oh, my God! Sean admits that they weren't soldiers with formal professional training, but they weren't so confused that they couldn't even tell the difference between friend and foe, right?
Although he was a little annoyed by the behavior of Farah Sage looking down on himself and the others, he still very much hoped that what was said in this message was true, and that reinforcements would really come to reinforce them soon, maybe just for half an hour?
"Don't count on it! The city of Lugoin is not going to be much less in trouble than we are right now... Where can they squeeze reinforcements from?
So press... Damn it! All of them! Get ready to fight!! ”
Sheriff Kevin frowned as he spoke, and then his face became gloomy, and he saw that the demon legions in the oasis had begun to act, and the dark clouds above were also humming, which was obviously a sign of an attack.
These damn demon cubs! They must know they're ready to break through.
This is not the time for him to prepare properly and gather manpower!
Kevin spat on the blade, his face becoming extremely serious.
At the same time, he stomped hard under his feet, and a cloud of silver aura suddenly spread outward.
The soldiers and professionals on the city wall were enveloped by this silver aura, and they suddenly felt as if they had inexhaustible strength in their bodies, and their bodies, which had been a little tired from the battles they had just experienced, quickly regained their vitality.
This is Kevin's mutated skill - Vitality Aura.
His Vitality Aura can now not only provide endurance boosts to allies, but also make people feel energetic and relieve mental fatigue to a certain extent, which can be said to be equivalent to a rejuvenation potion that has no healing or mana restoration effect.
was able to survive the first round of the Demon Legion's offensive before, and this mutated aura was also indispensable.
However, no matter how good his mutated vitality aura was, it was not the original prototype after all, and it could not change the outcome of a war, so when the swarms of giant mosquitoes and scavengers flew overhead, all the defenders on the city walls fell into deep despair.
Some people tried to fight back with ranged skills, but in the face of the huge number of monsters that were like dark clouds, the scattered ranged skills had no effect at all.
But though they were afraid to die, no one took a step back from the city, because they had no way to retreat.
"Brothers! Draw your weapons! We're going to die! Drag a few pads down your back! ”
Kevin roared, and the golden light on the saber flashed, and a silver-white lightning bolt slashed down on his head, directly smashing a close scavenging bird to the ground.
Under his encouragement, all the guards also burst out with far more than ordinary strength, countless flying axes, spears were shot into the air, large areas of giant mosquitoes and scavengers were shot down, under the extraordinary play of the guards, the attack of the flying monsters was actually stubbornly blocked by them.
However, in the face of this astonishing scene, a female necromancer in white armor standing in the center of the demon army in the oasis outside Chen Zhen showed a disdainful smile on her face.
"Heh... Dying and struggling......"
She was right, because soon the flying monsters with absolute numerical superiority enveloped the entire city wall, and the casualties of the guards increased instantly, and the defense line quickly began to crumble.
And with the army of monsters on the ground also climbing the walls, the countdown to the fall of the town has begun.
"The big picture is decided... Let's go... Wait a minute! What is that?! ”
Just as the female necromancer was about to lead the monster army to march to the last town, an extremely piercing scream suddenly sounded in the sky above the White Manburg not far away.
Immediately after, countless monsters with huge wings swooped down from the sky like eagles, directly stabbing into the encirclement network formed by the flying monsters.
The monsters spewed out a blade-like munition that only catapulted in all directions from their tail mouths, tearing a huge hole in the cluster of flying monsters almost instantly.
At the same time, countless huge flying monsters like small houses also descended from the sky, and they descended directly to the walls of the White Vine Castle along the passage torn by the flying monsters, and threw one after another terrifying standing monster snakes onto the city walls.
As soon as these strange snakes landed, they quickly opened the huge bone crown behind their heads, and one by one the explosive needles with terrifying power cooperated with those winged monsters, completely tearing the encirclement network formed by the monster group in the air into pieces.
At the sight of these creatures, the female necromancer's expression instantly became hideous, because she knew the owner of these monsters, which was the enemy who had made her to this point.
"Xue Hua !!"
