Chapter 110: Tragic Situation in the City
Fort Winter as a whole is a large irregular trapezoidal fortress, the side of the fortress facing the north is longer and quite thicker, and the defense is tighter, while the southern wall is shorter and shorter because it faces the interior of the war zone.
At this moment, due to the critical situation on the northern wall, the entire fortress was in chaos.
The gates of the southern wall were wide open, and a team of temporarily recruited professionals was guiding the refugees who had been evacuated from the city.
A large number of ordinary people poured out of the city gate with breathing charms they received from the professionals, and evacuated towards the interior of the war zone.
From this point of view, it is clear that the situation on the northern wall is extremely bad.
Xue Hua and Kashya went against the flow of people into the fortress and found the leader of the professional squad in charge of channeling the refugees, wanting to ask him about the situation on the northern wall.
The sixty-fifth-level Paladin Squad Leader was already anxious at the moment, and his face was full of exhaustion and nervousness.
Since some demon troops had already rushed into the city by taking advantage of the explosion of the city wall, and the infiltrated succubi were also constantly creating chaos, this seemingly simple task of evacuating refugees was actually not easy at all.
Every now and then, a small demonic force would emerge from nowhere and try to storm the refugees and go on a killing spree.
At this time, it is necessary for some of them to rush to extinguish the fire and save the emergency.
When Kashya and Xue Hua found him, he was fending off an attack by a team of more than a dozen Fallen Demons with a barbarian teammate.
This group of Sinking Demons is just a clone, and the level is only about fifty or sixty, but among them, there is a Sinking Magician who is constantly resurrecting the slain Demon.
The paladins and barbarians couldn't rush over and kill the sinking mage, so the paladins had to use the redemptive aura to purify the corpses of the sinkers.
But the fireball shot by the Sinking Mage caused them a lot of trouble.
Without the blessing of the fire-resistant aura, the two melee professionals were blown up by the fireballs that were as powerful as high-explosive grenades.
The arrival of Kasha and Xue Hua rescued them.
I saw that after a scorching rain of arrows, the entire team of Fallen Demon Beings was reduced to burning corpses all over the ground.
The captain of the paladin breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head with a grateful face, and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you two for breaking the siege... Well, who are you? ”
He found that the two professionals in front of him were not familiar faces he knew, but seemed to be coming from the city gate against the flow of people.
"We're reinforcing from Midway, the road has been opened, and your reinforcements will be there soon."
Xue Hua nodded at him and said something that shocked his and several other professionals.
"Is Midway already open? That's great! ”
The Paladin Captain rejoiced.
From the beginning of this war to the present, this is the most encouraging news he has heard.
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, what's going on on the city wall over there?" Kasha interrupted their celebration with a grim face, and gestured to the towering city on the other side.
"Uh... Ah, to tell you the truth, we don't know exactly what is going on on the city wall over there, and the brothers who went to the city there haven't been back since a few hours ago, and I don't know what happened to them......"
At the mention of this, the paladin captain's face fell.
It can also be seen from the situation inside Fort Winter, that the war may not be going very well.
"Not long ago, a large hole was blown through the side of the city wall, and many demons took the opportunity to rush in.
There are still many succubus real bodies in the city, and although the elite assassin squads of the two legions have been dealing with these guys, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. ”
The barbarians on one side shook their heads, looking a little depressed.
"Okay......"
Seeing that the other party didn't know much, Xue Hua and Kaxia could only look at each other helplessly, and after saying goodbye to the team, they split up and walked towards the streets of the city.
They had to find out what was going on on the battlefield so that they could decide how they needed to reinforce themselves so that they wouldn't get involved.
The archangel Reknis was not with them, and as an angel, his characteristics were too obvious and could easily attract the attention of the enemy.
The sky here is full of screaming winged demons, so you can't even approach them from the air.
Therefore, he could only wait outside the city for the time being, waiting for Xue Hua and Kasha to find out the situation before discussing the specific battle plan with him.
Kasha chose to explore the main street of the city in the direction of the northern wall, to see if he could observe the battlefield through his inward vision skills.
And according to some of the professionals in that squad just now, the two beacons of hope and the core circle of Late Winter's Fort have been under constant attack from demonic forces.
Kashya wanted to go there and help, and by the way, see if he could get some news from the lighthouse guards.
Xue Hua chose the paths next to the main road, and thanks to the successful hatching of the Leviathan and the complete expansion of the First Fleet, he was no longer afraid of exposing the swarm to the Second World.
So he simply summoned a large number of Zerg units and asked them to explore these forked paths under the leadership of several worm mothers.
Xue Hua ordered them to be sure to wipe out all the demon troops they encountered on the spot, and if they encountered human troops, the worm mother could also explain to the other party that they were allies and not enemies.
Xue Hua himself rode a cockroach and began to search the nearby area to see if he could find a lone human professional or a civilian trapped in a house.
At the end of the winter, the streets inside Fort were lined with a large number of houses and residences that were lit up by fireballs falling from the sky, and the raging fires and rising black smoke obscured the sun, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead.
Along the way, Xue Hua could often see the miserable death of human corpses or discarded objects all over the ground, and occasionally the remains of smoking caravans and pack beasts would fall on the side of the road, and there were even a few black, scorched corpses with unclear shapes stuck to the charred skeletons.
Some houses were destroyed by the fire, and the rubble lay across the middle of the road, blocking the entire road.
As a last resort, Xue Hua could only let the cockroaches dig a way out of the ruins before he could move on.
This tragic scene made Xue Hua frown: Has the battle situation in Late Winter Fort been eroded to this point?
It's like a ruined city like Tristram rather than a mighty Second World Frontier fortress.
Just as he was thinking about how to use the swarm to help the human side win the game, the jumping insects in front of him suddenly sent back information.
Encounter the enemy!
Xue Hua raised his head violently, and the mind of the main nest switched to the field of vision of the jumping insects, but he saw that the more than ten jumping insects in the first place had already connected to a group of sheep-headed demons with a number of about six heads.
These sheep-headed demons were apparently one of the demonic forces that had rushed into the city while the walls had cracked, and when the Hoppers spotted them, they were besieging a house that was already on fire.
And it's clear that there are people in the house!
