As the two armies fought, the soldiers of the Frozen Fortress were under great pressure to hold off a large number of enemies with inferior forces, and they were fighting outside the city walls, with no natural danger to defend.

Although the group received support from Garrot and the Imperial Guards on the way, the remnants of the Six Kings also had the help of visitors from outside the world, and this increase was equivalent to nothing.

With each last day of battle, the casualties increased, people continued to die, and the wounded soldiers who were cut down to inhuman shapes were carried down, and the morale of the soldiers became more and more low as their comrades were wounded or killed.

What's even more deadly is that the soldiers don't have a sense of purpose in the battle, they only know how to wait until the evacuation signal comes, but they don't know exactly when the signal will come, whether it is an hour, a day, or several days.

It is a very terrible thing to have no sense of purpose, the objective passage of time is eternal, but the subjective perception of time will continue to lengthen, especially when it is full of adrenaline, when it is only a few minutes of fighting, the tired body will mistakenly think that many hours have passed.

The soldiers in charge of blocking the attack were exhausted by this time, and the front and rear teams had alternated between the front and back teams, and they had been rotated several times, everyone was out of breath, and even the least injured had several blood marks on their bodies.

In addition to the tidal wave of enemies in front of them, the constant explosions from the rear also made them dazed for a while, for fear that the Iron Giant Bird would target them and melt them into the scorching heavenly fire.

At this time, a new wave of rotation was carried out in the blocking team, and the soldiers who had withdrawn from the front team were exhausted, some of them were even so tired that their limbs were numb, and they couldn't straighten their waists, obviously in the freezing and snowy climate, but they were so hot that every hole in the armor was bubbling, and they fell to the ground and kept digging snow into their mouths to moisten their dry throats.

Just as one of the soldiers was digging snow to quench his thirst, he accidentally raised his head and looked behind, and gradually, his expression began to become sluggish...

The inner walls in the distance had been badly damaged by the bombardment of the Iron Giant, and the large and resilient structure had kept it from collapsing, but at the highest point of the city, where the Laurel King Banner had been planted, was empty.

The flag promised by Solandale disappeared at some point, and there was no trace of it.

The soldier opened his mouth in horror, the snow water that melted in his mouth kept flowing out, and the color of fear surged up like a bursting embankment, and he subconsciously grabbed his companion who was burying his head in the snow beside him, and cried out in a lost voice: "The royal flag is gone... Wang Qi is gone!! ”

The noise abounded, and the news of the loss of the Wang Banner spread ten, ten, ten, hundreds, and burned like wildfire throughout the army in a very short period of time.

The soldiers looked at the inner city wall in amazement, and when they saw the promised royal banner disappear without a trace, they only felt the light around them dim, as if the whole world had turned gray.

When the fear and repression accumulated to the extreme, the first cry broke out: "We are abandoned!" She ran away on her own!! ”

Fear was like the worst contagion, destroying what little morale the defenders of the Frozen Fortress had left, some screaming, some scolding, some cursing Solandelle with the most vicious words, and many more sitting on their knees at a loss, their eyes out of focus, tears of helplessness.

The reason why they didn't run before was because they were encouraged by Solandelle, thinking that everyone would have to die if they ran, and staying and retreating in an orderly manner was the only way to create life.

Gu Qi

And Solandelle has also promised that she will stay here to command everyone, and as long as the Laurel King Banner is still flying, she will be there.

But now that I think about it, it all seems to have been a lie from the beginning, if everyone had fled in the first place, many people might have died because of the pursuit of the tribal warriors, but the terrain leading to the inland is so complicated, if you really disperse and hide in the mountains, there will definitely be people who will survive.

Solandale deliberately tricked everyone into staying here, just to make them sacrifice after breaking off, to be bait, so that they could buy themselves time to escape, and the current situation is a confirmation of this.

The feeling of distrust was like the most violent poison, spreading in the flesh and blood of the soldiers, everyone was already at a loss, and the soldiers who were substituted in the back team stepped back in fear, saying that they were not willing to rotate back to the front team again.

The soldiers of the front team were forced by the pressure of the tribal warriors step by step, and they could not retreat for a while, but they had no will to fight, and they retreated in panic, and the formation was loose, and the advantageous positions that they had finally occupied were given up one after another.

The pressure of the tribal warriors dropped sharply, and they pushed the battle line without much effort, and they approached the remnants of the unmotivated army, and some of them stuck out their tongues and licked the blood from their knives, and smirked at them: "It seems that you have all become abandoned lost dogs, don't worry, your head will find a place to belong - it will be the trophy of my waist!" ”

The defenders of the Frozen Fortress were demoralized and pushed back by the tribal warriors, but Garrot and Ghostface were still fighting fiercely.

Garrot knew Solandelle and knew that she couldn't leave everyone and run away, it must have been the steel bird's indiscriminate bombardment just now that caused her trouble.

However, Garrot alone can't save the situation of demoralization, it's useless to let him shout, no one will listen carefully at all, not to mention that he is now too busy to take care of himself.

This ghost face has the power of the 5th sequence, and if you want to change it, Garrot, who is in his prime, can treat him casually, but now Garrot is highly poisonous, and his strength has shrunk significantly, and it is already very difficult to make a tie in a state of exhaustion.

And the ghost face looks rough, but in fact the heart is very vicious, he can see that Garrot is very worried about Solandale's safety, and deliberately pesters him like a tarsal bone, so that he is powerless to save him.

No, Garrot forced the ghost face back with a sword, and just wanted to open the distance, the ghost face wrapped up again, surrounded him with a flexible pace, kept stabbing him, and deliberately mocked: "I thought that flag was the command flag, so I let people blow it up." Hehehe, now it seems that it is something that stabilizes the morale of the army, and it has a greater role than the command flag. ”

"Give up, don't think about saving it, no one can survive that kind of bombing. Even if the girl did survive, we would have knocked down that flag once it appeared, and it would never have been raised. ”

Garrot roared angrily, and forced the ghost face back with a heavy blow, and was about to take this opportunity to retreat, but the poisonous energy in his body surged up again, coupled with the vigorous exercise caused the blood flow to be turbulent, and the toxin spread rapidly, his heart was stuffy like a boulder, and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood in a row.

Looking at the approaching ghost face with a smirk, and then glancing at the empty city wall behind him, even the battle-hardened Garrot couldn't help but start wondering, is there no hope?

Is the light that can break through the darkness really not exist?
