City of Hope.

Since the moment the dark race rushed out of the surface, the distant City of Hope also sensed that something was wrong.

The efficiency of the city organized by the Three Sisters is still very high. They quickly picked up the slightest hint of danger.

Under the leadership of leader Rory, the City of Hope soon activated the highest level of alert.

Scouts are constantly being dispatched, and information is pouring into the City of Hope.

……

On the city wall, the purple-haired little girl stared into the distance.

Under the dark clouds, there was still a faint light on the rocky mountain.

But the damage caused by these rays to the dark race is very small.

Her gaze can see far away, which is her unique ability.

A pitch-black blockade has been completed.

It is like a black poisonous snake, entwining between the City of Hope and the outlying towns such as Lion Town, strangling many of the fleeing refugees!

"Dark Race...... Lion Town has been breached. ”

She muttered in a low voice.

The chief knight beside her had a stern face.

As the supreme leaders of the city, the three sisters have the supreme right to speak. But this power is still very stable in normal times, after all, it is backed by Jessica's strong strength.

But at this time, even the City of Hope has a hint of chaos!

The Dark Race is coming!

When the news came, people were immediately panicked.

Because there are no powerful legends in the City of Hope now!

Jessica, the most powerful of the three sisters, has recently been capturing a black dragon on the edge of the Troubled Lands that often harasses Rocky Mountain.

And Kate, who is gradually showing her ability to cast spells steadily, also brings some followers. Travel to the danger zone in the west and investigate the meteor event.

Three sisters. Only the youngest Rory remained.

Although the residents are fond of Rory, the girl is too young. Few people are willing to pin their hopes on such a little girl.

If it weren't for the city guards, and Jessica's previous prestige, I'm afraid that there would have been civil strife in the City of Hope long ago.

Rao is so, and a kind of uneasy feeling is still transmitted in the city of hope.

The merchants packed up their belongings and tried to flee further west; The poor huddled together in a daze, wanting more information.

All of a sudden, the city was in turmoil.

It's just that this qiē, after Luo Rui came forward, was suddenly alleviated.

This seemingly young little girl. Quite smart, actually. She has extraordinary management and command skills.

In the immediate aftermath of the incident, she mobilized the most loyal City of Hope City Guards.

And the knight captain Terry beside her is the most loyal retinue of the three sisters.

One order after another came from Luo Rui's mouth, and the city guards strictly carried it out!

mobilization of reserve militias; Recruit adventurers; The City Guards quickly deployed and evacuated the residents of the villages near the City of Hope; Summoning the exiled Warlock group [Demon's Hand]; open shelters and send the elderly, weak, women and children into them; Open the armory and hand out weapons to young and strong civilians for self-defense......

One order after another is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Unconsciously, people's hearts have settled down a lot.

They looked at the diminutive figure standing on the wall. I couldn't help but feel a wave of reverence that I had never felt before.

Before this crisis, this little girl had been showing the image of obediently hiding behind her two older sisters.

She is cute and cute, but she is naughty and innocent.

No one knows, when the war comes. She still has such a calm and rational side.

Even the chief knight beside her had seen Miss Lowry give orders so often for the first time.

……

"Diggers have average stamina, even if they are driven by spells, they have always been lazy. Nor will they work for long periods of time. ”

"But without the Diggers, it's hard to break through the City of Hope. The commander of the Dark Race must have understood this as well. ”

"So. The general assault on the City of Hope should be in three days. During this time, their goal must have been to purge the nearby surface humans. After all, in the eyes of dark creatures. Life on the surface is prey. ”

Rory muttered to herself, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "Uncle Terry, those people, can't they really be saved?" ”

The chief knight was silent.

The City of Hope is ready for war. He is confident that under Miss Lowry's leadership, he will be able to repel the abominable dark race.

Besides, the dark race is making such a big noise, and the powerful Lord Jessica will definitely notice it.

Once the Apocalypse Warlock returns to the City of Hope, under the absolute suppression of the legendary Warlock, the army of the dark race will also be vulnerable!

But the people Miss Lowry spoke of—the inhabitants of the outlying towns such as Hope City and Liontown—probably couldn't be saved.

Looking down from the city walls, you can see far away even though it is dark.

The pitch-black blockade was clearly visible. Although the blockade line is uneven, it is full of underground monsters.

Goblins, gnolls, and kobolds make up the main force of the blockade, and these creatures are not very strong in combat, but they are numerous.

And the more powerful bear goblins and Zedi demons are the real nightmares!

They are interspersed in the center of the blockade, and if any section of the blockade is missed, these monsters will make up for it.

Just now, they witnessed the failure of a fairly elite cavalry squad's assault.

They are the centaurs of another town near Lion Town.

More than twenty knights rushed through the blockade line.

It's a pity that he was caught by the Zedi demon who heard the news!

Zedi demons are comparable in stature to ogres, and have lower intelligence, but most Zedi demons have high magic resistance and are proficient in one or two types of spell abilities.

This is the most troublesome part.

Because you don't know what his quasi-spell is - it's a hassle to have a tongue of fire or an ice pick popping up in melee combat with a big guy.

In a word. As soon as those knights broke through the blockade of the goblins, they were swept away by a few Zedi demons.

These monsters rely on their strong physique. It was enough to annihilate the entire cavalry ranks.

What's more, they have other helpers.

Both quantitatively and qualitatively. There's no way to compete with them.

This blockade line is the death line of the human race on the surface!

"Let's see how the refugee reception is going."

"If you're almost done, close the gates."

Rory sighed.

……

"Residents in the vicinity have been evacuated and contained. Fortunately, when the city was first built, there were enough shelters that otherwise they wouldn't have fitted. ”

After a while, Captain Terry reported.

"The gates can be closed at any time. All the Rangers have been reclaimed at the moment. ”

Rory nodded.

She was just about to give the order.

Who knew that at this time, in the north of that blockade line, there was a sudden bustling turmoil.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

There is movement.

……

It was a village a little north of Lion Town.

Because the sirens in Lion Town were heard. They reacted before the Dark Race invaded.

Although most of them are still buried in the mouths of the dark race.

But a small number of people managed to escape.

There are many innocent villagers among them.

These people looked like hundreds of people, escorted by a large team of mercenaries.

The entire mercenary group, the number of people is about eighty, and their speed of progress is very slow, but because the number of people is still quite large, when trying to break through the blockade line, they seem to see a glimmer of hope!

As long as they can break through this blockade. You will be able to reach the City of Hope.

So everybody is desperate.

"And such a dedicated mercenary group?"

Terry saw the scene too.

The mercenary group with the banner of the silver fox is one of the few well-known mercenary organizations in the Land of Chaos.

This mercenary group is quite credible, and it seems that some time ago it took over the defense of that northern village.

Now, when they were evacuating, they were still escorting those villagers.

In fact. If they can abandon the villagers who don't have much combat power, they have a better chance of breaking through the blockade!

But they didn't.

For the first time on the long blockade line, twists and bulges appeared.

The mercenary warriors fought their way to the assault. They formed a V-shaped formation. At the head was a strong man with a two-handed sword.

It was the head of the mercenary group, and he was alone. Killed a bloody road, leading everyone to break through!

"No, I can't. We must rescue them. ”

Rory frowned.

Knight Chief Terry gritted his teeth and said, "Although our cavalry has not been lost, if we attack now, it is easy to fall into the tide of monsters. ”

"It's even possible that we didn't even rescue them, and we got in with our own cavalry. After all, there are too many monsters. ”

Rory was silent.

The little girl knew that Terry was right.

It would be unwise to sacrifice a cavalry team for the sake of a few hundred people, while at the same time greatly reducing the chances of survival of a few thousand people in the City of Hope.

But for her, life is not a simple and indifferent conversion.

She clenched her fists: "Rangers, send out." ”

"We must save them."

"Anyway, we're going to try."

Terry gave her a deep look, and finally made a knightly salute:

"Yes!"

"I'll lead the team myself!"

The little girl was stunned: "Uncle Terry! ”

This time, however, the knight walked down the wall without looking back.

……

The gates of the City of Hope slowly opened.

A cavalry squad of more than thirty men quickly headed towards the north of the blockade line.

Soon, they rushed to the edge of the blockade.

Under the leadership of the Knight Captain Terry, they forcibly tore through the defenses and successfully joined the mercenary group.

"Follow us and get out!"

Knight Chief Terry roared.

The people worked together and followed the cavalry to the west.

However, at this time, the five-headed Zedi demon had already surrounded him.

Following behind the Zedi Demons. It's a pack of bear goblins, and a squad of dark elves!

Kobolds and gnolls. Also constantly squeezing towards the center.

On the human side, the pressure has increased dramatically.

"Not good." A hint of worry flashed across Rory's face.

Although Terry is a third-order master. But outnumbered.

If you can't deal with the Zedi Demons, this cavalry squad is also in danger!

"Uncle Terry......"

Rory prayed silently, "I must come back safely......"

However, at this moment, a somewhat lazy voice sounded in her ears:

"There's no need to worry so much."

"They're going to make it through."

A chubby creature sat on her shoulder.

"Hmm, stupid?"

Rory looked somewhat nervously at the north of the blockade.

The Zedi demons surrounded them very quickly, and if they didn't break through before they came, the cavalry would probably get bogged down.

The current City of Hope does not yet have the ability to fight the creatures of the underworld head-on.

However, the ordinary villagers slowed down the progress considerably.

Some women are still holding their babies!

The mercenary group has also fallen quite a bit. The leader of the regiment had just been hit by a sword in the knee. I walk with a limp, and I need someone to help me move forward!

The fate of this group seems to have been sealed.

"It's me cǎo rate!"

The little girl clutched at her beautiful lilac hair in frustration.

"No, you made the right decision."

Clumsy narrowed his eyes and said, "I can feel that there is a familiar guy hiding in the team." ”

"What is he waiting for?"

……

What are Marvin waiting for?

He's waiting for the right moment to make a move!

After leaving the Windmill warehouse, they soon encountered the Silver Fox mercenary team, who pulled them into the team as if they were ordinary refugees.

They rushed all the way. It is about to break through the blockade.

In the process, Marven has been taking turns using shotguns and dual guns, in order not to attract the attention of the Dark Race Commander!

"Go deeper!"

"Closer to the City of Hope!"

He was waiting for that moment.

If he makes a move, he will inevitably be noticed by Lady Tess. When the time comes to send more powerful creatures to intercept them, there really is no hope for this group of people!

So he had to endure.

He had to hit the other party by surprise!

The rescue of the cavalry squad made him overjoyed. It seems that whoever is in command of the City of Hope. The commander still values human life more.

The group rushed along the blockade line, and it was about to break through the blockade line.

It was at this time. The five Zedi demons have finally surrounded!

There was a hint of despair on everyone's faces.

Zedi Demons. That's a big guy over two and a half meters tall!

The pace of the cavalry also slowed down.

"We're fighting them!"

The head of the Silver Fox was impassioned.

This guy is indeed a man of affection.

The rest of the mercenaries also raised their swords one after another.

The villagers silently hugged each other and looked at these mercenary men gratefully.

They knew that if it weren't for them, maybe these mercenaries would have broken through the blockade a long time ago.

These people are truly worthy of respect.

"I can't take the lead anymore."

The regimental commander raised his sword: "So, boys, let's rush together!" ”

"Kill!"

Everyone roared angrily, with a trace of unwillingness, and killed the five-headed Zedi demon as if they were at home!

However, at this moment, a figure as fast as lightning suddenly rushed to the front of the line from the flank.

"I'll clear the way."

He said.

Even in the midst of the chaos, Marven's voice can be heard clearly.

He was almost at the gate of the City of Hope, and he didn't need to hide his strength anymore, for fear of attracting more powerful monsters.

Now, in one go, break through the blockade!

He rushed forward frantically, and in the astonished gaze of everyone, his body began to swell!

Magior, Beast Form On!

The terrifying shadow of Anzura's man-bear descended instantly, and eight or nine goblins were slapped away!

Everyone was stunned, and then ecstatic.
