Chapter 479: Tempest and Storm (7)
Wow –
A huge fish-shaped monster jumped out of the sea, and the giant axe in the hand of the giant axe knight picked up, and the axe blade broke the monster's head, and the blood spurted out, forming a blood rain, but soon, these fishy blood were washed away by the current and merged into the sea, regardless of each other.
The fish-shaped monster was huge, and after jumping out of the sea, the corpse lay across the harbor, and the soldiers fought and retreated, and when they were resting, the Giant Axe Knight looked up and saw the corpses of the monsters with more than half of their bodies exposed to the water, and this scene couldn't help but make him wonder.
Sea creatures can only survive in the sea, they can't go on land, but now these monsters are like crazy, constantly moving towards land, even if they must know that they can't survive on land...... It's like there's something behind them that is driving them?
At this moment, the Giant Axe Knight's eyes widened, and he felt as if he had discovered something!
There may be something behind these monsters that is driving them, and it's very likely that it's 'artificial', then, this heavy rain-
He glanced down at the stagnant water that had reached his calf, they were already at the forefront of the battle, it took more physical strength to change positions, and in the water, they were not so flexible, so their battle line had been retreating......
I see!
The Giant Axe Knight's heart was pounding, he seemed to have discovered something terrible, he felt that these monsters, water elemental life, and even this heavy rain were all 'man-made', and someone must be behind them!
So, should they continue to retreat now, or should they go up, or else the other party's trick will succeed?
However, just as he was slaying the monster and thinking hard, a loud voice suddenly sounded-
"Rally !!"
Even the pouring rain, even the roar of thunder, can't hide this sound!
'That's Officer Fran's voice!'
The voice was a little unrecognizable after it was amplified and raised, but the Great Axe Knight recognized the owner of the voice after only a moment's thought.
"Retreat!" the Greataxe Knight snapped, gritting his teeth and roaring.
The monsters and water elementals in the sea were endless, and depending on the situation, they couldn't have dealt with these monsters so quickly, but the casualties caused by these monsters to them were real.
The number of enemies is not known for the time being, but their casualties have already exceeded expectations, and if they do not retreat, the defense line will not be able to withstand it, so it is better to retreat now to rest and then continue the battle.
The Knight-in-Axe was one of several commanders on the scene, and his voice was so loud that he could hear most people clearly, even in battle.
With the order of the Giant Axe Knight, the commanders who were still a little wavering also followed the order: "Retreat!"
"Withdraw!
The order was effectively carried out - the soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner, they did not flee in the desert, and the defense line did not collapse in an instant.
The figures of the soldiers passed several battlefield commanders one after another, and several powerful commanders broke off for their soldiers, which had been drilled at the beginning!
The strength of the battlefield commanders is strong, only they can be ready for the break, of course, this is also a situation, if it is not that there is still strength left, but the army has really reached the time of exhaustion, the first to retreat will be the commanders.
This is the most reasonable way of warfare, this way of warfare that has been handed down for hundreds of years has established the military strength of the Kurkut Empire, and now the Kurkut Empire can become an 'empire', which is not unrelated to the bravery of the commanders.
When the commanders broke off, a group of soldiers who thought they still had the strength to stay and fight and retreat with the commander, they were the last insurance - in order not to let the commander who failed after the break be captured or killed, they were the last insurance.
"Ahem...... Phew!"
Fran coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm from his throat and spit it to the side.
Yegor held a pocket watch in his hand, but still did not move, which made Fran frown, and asked anxiously in a voice that had become hoarse, "Mr. Yegor, haven't you started yet?"
"It's not ...... time yet"
After saying this, Yegor closed his mouth, not ready to explain anything.
Fran gasped and endured the pain of the air passing through his trachea, and the rain was falling heavily, sometimes he had to spit out a mouthful of rain from his mouth.
"Officer Franth!"
A soldier who had just withdrawn from the front line met Fran and Yegor on the road, and he looked at the police officer and mage in amazement, and his heart was a little puzzled.
"Go and get the others over......"
Fran swallowed and moistened his throat, but his voice remained hoarse: "Let them protect us!"
The soldier's lips twitched, and his face was a little tangled.
He thought that he would be able to return to other cities to rest after retreating from the front line, but the police officer in front of him gave him this order......
"Cough cough cough ......"
In a hurry, Fran coughed again, but then he couldn't wait to urge, "Go!"
The soldier pursed his lips and left with a complicated look in the pouring rain.
There are many streets and alleys in the slums, and the chances of meeting Fran and Yegor are very small when walking through such an urban area, and they are still in a narrow and dark alley, the water is knee-deep, and the alley is so narrow that there is no way for the two of them to walk side by side, and Fran doesn't know how to activate the leyline node in such a narrow place.
At this time, Yegor had already withdrawn the wooden staff he had held in his hand before, holding a pocket watch and waiting for the time to come......
"Officer Franth!"
Suddenly there was a shout at the mouth of the alley, and Fran turned his head to see a knight standing with a great axe on his shoulder.
The huge knight, dressed in full armor, could not enter the alley, and there were many soldiers behind him.
The Great Axe Knight was visibly surprised to see Yegor, it was surprising enough for Fran to appear in this ghetto, but now another mage had appeared......
Moreover, they are still standing in this dark and narrow alley!
'Is the previous guess really correct?' Thinking of this, the Giant Axe Knight subconsciously tightened the handle of the weapon.
"Protect our ......"
Because of his throat, without saying any superfluous nonsense, Fran gave an order to the soldiers, and after saying this, he coughed twice.
Boom!
The handle of the giant axe in the hand of the giant axe knight slammed on the ground, and resolutely ordered: "Spread around, gather tools, and prepare for street fighting!"
The soldiers' eyes widened and they looked at their commander in surprise, their mouths open, as if they wanted to say something, but—
"It's time!"
In the midst of the torrential rain and thunder, Yegor's voice reached everyone's ears unusually clearly.
The mage was just a little silent, but in fact, he knew a lot, and he knew that Fran needed help now.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
Seeing the mage put away his pocket watch and pull out a silver staff from a small bag, the Giant Axe Knight came back to his senses from his momentary guess, turned to the soldiers beside him and scolded, "Don't you want to go yet?!"
The voice coming from under the visor was unusually dull, and the soldiers who heard the words looked at each other, but still moved.
They didn't know anything yet, and the rumors of the port hadn't reached their ears yet, so they thought that the battle would eventually pass, and if they didn't do it now, they would be punished later, so they took action.
Finally waiting for the right time, Yegor looked up and said to Fran: "Protect me." ”
Seeing Fran nod, he clenched the staff with his right hand and poured the sharp tail of the staff into the ground—
Shine up to the sky!
