Chapter 725: Getting Out of Trouble

The battle was fiercer than expected.

The giants kept throwing rocks and slammed them into the fortress in front of them. A rock the size of a hill fell from the sky and smashed into the wall, which was already fragile due to lack of repair, and smashed it into a large hole. The paladins around them were so busy dodging to the side that they didn't even have time to pull a colleague who was crushed to the bottom of the stone -- no matter which way you look at it, the other person is already dead and can't die anymore.

Following the gap that had been smashed open, the orc cavalry swarmed in, and they whipped their mounts hard, like transport drivers who did not obey the rules of the road at all, and the defense line was in a hurry for a while. It wasn't until a few paladins in gold-rimmed armor joined the fray that things got better -- and the rock-like monster finally ran into an obstacle. The blade of the sword burning with holy power pierced through the brains of the dumbfounded mounts beneath the orc's feet, separating their owners from their mounts. Pillars of golden light descended from the sky, condensing to form a physical barrier to block the gap, and at the same time resist the boulder thrown by the giant again.

The addition of several high-ranking priests also boosted the morale of the fortress, and the barbarian army that had finally attacked the fortress for a while began to become less dangerous. The werewolves scrambled to try to jump onto the walls, but the burning flames prevented them from moving on. One by one, the bolts were fired at a rapid pace, nailing everything that dared to stand in their way to the ground with a powerful impact. Even werewolves with super regenerative abilities can't withstand such an attack, and they may not die, but being nailed to the ground as a specimen is obviously not their life's pursuit.

The tide of battle had turned in the direction the paladins had hoped, and they had repelled the barbarian invasions time and time again. Although these barbarians are not afraid of death. But they have the blessings of the gods, in the presence of powerful divine powers. All obstacles are nothing more than chickens and dogs, as long as they want to. They were even able to hold out until the end of the world.

The end of the world is coming sooner than expected.

The earth began to rumble, the frozen hard ground began to rise, and then a monster that looked like an enlarged version of an earthworm emerged from the earth, it opened its round mouth full of teeth, and slammed forward, and then a priest screamed and disappeared into the bloody mouth, although it was impossible to see how he was treated, but just the terrible wail coming from the monster's mouth and the splash of blood and stumps could guess what a miserable treatment the other party had suffered.

"It's a burrower, everyone be careful!!"

This time. The paladins were finally starting to get nervous, the burrower was a terrifying creature that lived underground, living by devouring crystals and rocks with magical powers. With a shell as hard as a rock, these territorial creatures don't usually move around at all, but now, they're here?

"We need help, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to withstand it!!"

The Paladin shouted loudly, and then looked at the priest beside him. And in the face of his roar. The priest turned pale, gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"We've lit the fire, but it will take half a day to get here from the nearby fortress. We simply can't hold out until that time!! ”

"Are we going to give up here?"

Speaking of this, there was also a trace of unwillingness in the heart of the paladin before, this fortress had been held in their hands for hundreds of years. Even since the last generation of paladins, they have never allowed these barbarians to take a step forward. But now. Are they going to abandon this fortress?

"We can't hold it at all, we have to evacuate!! If this continues. Everyone will die here!! ”

As if to confirm the priest's words, the burrowing worms that emerged from the ground began to launch a new round of attacks on the fortress, and the walls were meaningless in front of it. The walls that had been used to ward off the outside world were now turned into a cage for the priests, and the people tried to escape the attacks of the burrowers, but there was no way to escape. And while the resistance of the clergy began to weaken, the barbarian attack began again.

"Damn!!"

Seeing a colleague screaming and being crushed into meat sauce by the driller, the paladin clenched the long sword in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and spoke.

"Signal now, evacuate, abandon the fortress, evacuate all!!"

"Yes, big ..............."

However, before the priest next to him could finish speaking, suddenly, a roar sounded out of thin air, interrupting his response. And hearing this roar, almost everyone trembled in their hearts, and all kinds of strange things ran out of the cavalry, werewolves, giants and even burrowing insects that had faced the orcs before. What's next? Could it be that these barbarians have really become so powerful?

Thinking of this, almost all of them looked in the direction of the sound, and when they saw the dark shadow coming from the sky, everyone was surprised.

It was a group of dragons.

The blue and white dragon swooped down from the clouds with a wave of wings, and the cannons on either side of the dragon's body roared and burst out with a series of fires, only to see the barbarians attacking in front of the fortress suddenly plunged into a sea of explosion and fire. A huge explosion of air rushed into the sky, and even the mounts under the orc cavalry could not withstand such a strong bombardment, and began to turn and flee like crazy. The unlucky ones didn't even have time to escape, so they were directly blown to pieces by shells. For a moment, I saw that the ground was shaking everywhere around the fortress, and the continuous bombardment almost broke people's eardrums. Even the Driller Worm who was originally exerting his might inside the fortress had a retreat at this time, not to mention the werewolves who originally planned to rush into the fortress while the Driller was in full swing. Originally, they had already broken through the desperate resistance of the paladins, and now they had climbed the city wall. But after these dragons appeared, the werewolves immediately panicked, not knowing what to do.

Just kidding, this is a dragon, where is it possible for ordinary people to compete with dragons? Even if they are barbarians, they definitely don't have the strength to fight against the dragons!

What exactly is that?

Looking at the series of huge figures whizzing past his head, the priests below were also stunned. Of course, they would not think that these dragons were ordinary dragons, at least it was impossible for ordinary dragons to be equipped with such terrible cannons on their bodies. And as soon as the other party comes, they will attack those barbarians, then it means one thing, these dragons who suddenly arrived are allies, no matter where these people come from, who they are, at least for now, they are helping themselves to defend the fortress, as long as they know this!!

"Beat these damn bastards back!!"

The paladins roared, and then rushed up the walls again, scuffling with the werewolves. The others also reacted at this time, and the panic and reluctance to lose the fortress had completely disappeared, replaced by unparalleled excitement. In just a moment's effort, the werewolves who had occupied the city wall were suddenly defeated. And the werewolf soldiers in the rear turned around and ran without looking back, obviously no longer wanting to attack again.

Although the giants tried to stop the dragons from attacking, before they could smash their stones on the dragon's body, they saw a series of lightning burst out and slammed into the boulder, shattering the huge stone to pieces. This made the attack of the giants not work at all, but those scattered and falling stone fragments also caused a lot of trouble to the friendly troops on the ground, and the entire battlefield suddenly became chaotic for a while.

“―――――!!”

At the same moment, with a high-pitched roar, the burrower suddenly rose to its feet, then saw it hover, and the next moment it went straight into the ground, trying to escape. Although the burrower has no eyes and does not rely on vision to catch its prey, the continuous explosions still make it feel unprecedented danger, so the burrower does not hesitate to burrow into the ground, intending to escape from this land of right and wrong.

"Don't let it go, kill it!!"

Seeing this scene, the previous paladin commander also immediately gave a loud order. Drillers are a very rare creature, though it is unknown why these barbarians are able to drive underground creatures like Drillers. But if it is allowed to escape, it will still be a problem for the paladins. After all, this kind of monster can burrow into the ground at will, and in front of it, no matter how high the walls are, it doesn't matter. If you can't take advantage of such a good opportunity to destroy this monster, it will be even more troublesome!!

It's just that the speed of the burrowing worm is far faster than everyone imagined, and before the paladins could get ready, they saw that its body had disappeared under the ground again, and then fled quickly into the distance.

However, before the burrower could leave, the nightmare crept in.

The fierce artillery fire broke out again, and bright sparks bloomed on the ground, only to see that in front of everyone, the solid ground suddenly crumbled and shattered, and then a hoarse wail appeared from the flames and smoke. The next moment, the paladins saw the blackened burrower raise its body again. At this moment, it has completely lost its former majesty, and the rock armor that originally covered its entire body has also been completely shattered, revealing the flesh and blood dripping inside. And at this time, I saw the largest of those dragons suddenly fly down, like an eagle catching a chicken, and trampled the burrowing worm in front of him under his feet, and the burrowing worm that was hit hard by this suddenly raised his head and planned to fight back, but in the next moment, he saw the behemoth's body slammed suddenly, and then it was split in two as if it was cut by an invisible blade from the middle, and then fell to the ground, and there was no more sound.

And this also marked the failure of another attack by the barbarians. (To be continued.) )
