Chapter 48: Faith

The Late Winter Fortress on the front lines is about to receive the first tentative assault of the Succubus Legion under Setia.

And in the rear of the theater of operations at the end of winter, the battle has already entered an extremely stalemate.

Although Xue Hua's timely arrival was regarded as relieving the siege of the Blackstone contact point, and the town of Blackhorn was not attacked in any way.

But on the other side, the situation in Midwaytown, Frost Valley, and the Frost Mines is still very unfavorable for the human side.

Midway's protective barrier has been completely breached, and there is no way to repair the protective barrier in the central circle hub.

The professionals in the town can only rely on the low walls outside the town, which are less than five meters high, to resist the growing demon army outside the town.

Everyone knows that the reason why Midway Town has not been bulldozed at present is entirely because those demons are still gathering more troops, and once the demon forces outside the town decide to start attacking the town with all their might, I am afraid that the low and thin town walls will not be able to withstand the opponent's wave of strong attacks at all.

On the walls of the town, the captain of the guard wields his sword, mechanically slashing at the rushing Fallen Demon Barbarians, the short, red-skinned demons who are not as easy to deal with as they are in the First World.

As clones, they are more powerful, faster, more cunning and cruel, and at the same time more daring.

While they still feel intimidated after being killed by their companions, the Doom clones here rarely run away.

Unless you can actually defeat their formation, or get past the Dying Demons in the front row and kill all the Dying Mages in the back row.

And these two points are obviously impossible for the small town guard team, which has just been reorganized for less than half a day.

But it's no wonder that since the previous guard team was almost wiped out, the guards temporarily reorganized with the help of the town's administrators are basically First World newcomers who have never been on the front line, and have not even encountered a few small-scale field encounters.

Their understanding of demons is still stuck in the weak demon projections of the first world, and in the face of the demon clones who suddenly appeared in front of them, it is very commendable that they can still hold on until now.

Expecting them to accomplish some feat of a Jedi counterattack is nothing short of whimsical and crazy.

Now they are only facing the cannon fodder-level sunken demon troops in the demon army, and they are already very reluctant to deal with it, and almost every moment there are professionals who are seriously injured or even sacrificed.

It's hard to imagine how much this fragile line of defense would last a few minutes when the demon army pressed on all fronts......

The captain of the town guard is now only doing his best to obey the fate of heaven, and he can delay for a moment, and he is praying in his heart that reinforcements will arrive sooner.

The interior of the town is also shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and some professionals are organizing the civilians in the town to gather at the entrance of the town on the other side, preparing to evacuate and escape from Midway Town.

The rest of the professions all acted as firefighters, patrolling the town and setting up a second line of defense that seemed meaningless to the captain of the guard.

Scold... The second line of defense... If even the cover of the city wall is lost, then what kind of defense line can withstand the attack of the demon army?

Thinking like this, the captain of the guard casually slashed the Sinking Demon in front of him who had just been resurrected by the Sinking Mage to the ground.

Fortunately, there are still some members of the Spirit Hornbill Force who are helping to defend the wall, and it is because of the presence of these front-line veterans that this precarious line of defense has been able to hold up until now.

However, although the professionals of the Spirit Hornbill Force have rich combat experience, they are not numerous, and they can only help the guard team temporarily stabilize the battle situation, and there is nothing else to do at all.

Especially under the increasing intensity of fighting, the Spirit Hornbill troops are also constantly experiencing combat attrition, which makes Midway's defense more and more difficult, and even on the verge of collapse.

"Hoo ......"

The captain of the town guard took a slight breath and threw a holy light bullet at a female mage who had just been severely injured by a fireball from a sinking mage, slightly healing her injuries.

"Thank you......" The female mage struggled to her feet, reached into the inventory and touched it, then her face froze, and she slowly trembled and took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it down.

The captain of the guard who saw this scene was stunned, and then his face suddenly showed even more bitterness.

Are the potion reserves running out too? I've already started using normal-grade healing potions......

If this continues, I'm afraid they will run out of ammunition and food before the demon army launches a full-scale attack......

Thinking of this, the captain of the guard couldn't help but subconsciously glance back at the several small freight trucks in the city wall, which were previously full of all kinds of war materials from the material warehouse in Midway Town, but now, the resources on the trucks have been exhausted, especially all kinds of potions and potions, which are basically exhausted.

There was no way, the intensity of the battle was too great, and the preparation time before Midway Town was not sufficient, so so much supplies could only be stocked up in a hurry.

"Whoa......" The captain of the guard shook his head, ducking down to dodge a fireball, and then watched as an assassin in the distance was attacked by the three-headed Fallen Demon, who was impaled in the chest and fell from the city screaming......

This... The defeat is a foregone conclusion......

The captain of the guard shook his head, but then a look of determination crossed his face.

In any case, as long as he's alive, those damn hellish bastards won't even think of getting through this line of defense!

Unless they step on their own corpses!

The captain of the guard patted his helmet lightly, cheered up, and stood up sharply, ready to continue the fight.

However, at this moment, a whimpering horn suddenly sounded next to the hell teleporters who were dancing wildly with green lightning not far away!

At the same time, thousands of winged demons rushed out of the Hell portal with the sound of horns, hissing and screaming and swooping down towards Midway!

Woo!! Hisss Hiss!!

The sound of desolate trumpets and the screams of the winged demons mingled to form a terrifying symphony of hell.

That is, the death knell of destruction in Midway......

It's over......

Seeing the huge group of winged demons rushing towards him like a black cloud, the captain of the guard had only one thought in his heart.

With a wry smile, he raised the round shield in his left hand to the sky, and the long sword in his right hand glowed with a layer of misty golden light, ready for the final desperate fight.

Even if you die, you must not watch the town you defend fall under the iron hooves of the devil!

On the walls of Midway, the other professionals also had desperate expressions on their faces.

Some quietly turned around and tried to jump off the walls to escape, while others had the same determined look on their faces as the captain of the guard.

"To shelter the world! For humanity! ”

I don't know who shouted in such a loud voice, and then this sentence immediately spread throughout the entire defense line on the wall.

"To shelter the world! For humanity! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the guard captain's mouth: "Warriors! Raise your shield! Let's... Fight for what you believe in! ”
