Chapter 919： fierce battle

"I hope another human continent can come over as soon as possible!" President Theodore heard the words and looked in another direction in the sky.

The outline of that continent is already very large, but according to the speed at which this dark abyss is coming, it will take at least a month for that continent to arrive.

In this way, if the Sacred Continent can resist this month, there is a high probability of escaping this crisis.

The other kings also looked at the continent when they heard the words, but they didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the dark creatures outside the city were getting closer, Theodore directly said to the kings: "Everyone, it's up to you!"

Woohoo!

The next moment, the horns sounded across the entire line of the duke city. In addition to the soldiers responsible for fighting on the city wall, the rest of the auxiliary soldiers also began to continuously transport stones, hot oil and other defensive items to the city wall.

"Trebuchet, launch!"

Bang bang bang!

The human race took the lead in launching the attack. Following the order, thousands of large trebuchets were launched, and huge stone bullets rose into the air like raindrops, falling to the dark creatures more than a mile away.

Winter winter!

Whoa! Whoa!

As the rain-like stone bullets fell, there was a crisp sound of bones falling from the vanguard army of dark creatures composed of skeleton soldiers outside the city.

"Hoohoho! Charge, sacrifice my master with the blood of those creatures in the city!"

Woohoo!

When the duke city was bombarded, the dark creatures immediately responded.

With a low roar of filial piety, the dark army also used the horn made of the beast's bones to sound the rhythm of the charge.

"Kakaka, kill!"

"Choo Choo Choo!"

Suddenly, the sea of ​​white skeletons outside the city accelerated, and the slow-flying gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats on the edge of the air also rushed towards the Duke city.

In an instant, the gargoyle and the bloodthirsty bat took the lead in flying over the Duke City.

"Elves, fight!"

"Legion of Magicians, fight!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Seeing these gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats cover the sky and sunset like locusts, the elves and magicians on the city wall immediately attacked.

Suddenly, the rain of arrows and fireballs intertwined into a net of death, and countless bloodthirsty bats and the gargoyle fell from the sky.

However, the number of bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles attacking the Duke City this time is too large, even if the elves and magicians attack with all their strength, they cannot immediately clear these airborne visitors.

hoo hoo hoo!

The bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles surging from the rear came to the city wall, without any hesitation, swooped down from the sky with a roar, and then rushed directly into the crowd of defenders.

what! what! what!

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded from the city wall.

Many defending soldiers were directly thrown down by bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, and then bit off most of their bodies alive.

Seeing this, the teammates next to him immediately stepped forward to attack the bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles.

But these dark creatures have tenacious vitality and are even more fierce.

In the face of the siege of the surrounding soldiers, not only the curved blade of light is sprayed from the mouth, but also the soldiers will be picked up with sharp claws, then spread their wings and fly into the sky, and then throw the soldiers from the sky, making them fall alive. .

"Elite Knights, join the battle!"

Faced with such a situation, the kings of various countries defending the city sent their elite forces one after another.

Now they are trapped in the city, and the elite knights are temporarily off their horses.

With their joining, the city wall finally restored a little order.

Of course, the number of bloodthirsty bats and that gargoyle is too large, and it is impossible to completely clean it up.

"Kakaka! Kill!"

And at this moment, there was a sound of infiltrating bones rubbing under the city wall, and the skeleton army finally arrived at the foot of the city wall.

These skeleton soldiers didn't need any engineering ladders, they directly inserted their sharp palms and sole bones into the gaps in the city wall, and then quickly began to climb.

"Rolling Stone, drop it, don't let these disgusting guys climb the city wall!"

Seeing that the skeleton soldiers began to climb, the kings of the small principalities drew out their long swords and went to the wall to give command in person.

And following the order, the soldiers picked up the stones and smashed them down the city.

The stones smashed into the group of skeletons, and suddenly they seemed to be smashed into a lake, and a piece of bone fragments rose up around them.

But even if the soldiers had already smashed down the stones at the fastest speed, they still seemed to be ineffective in the face of a large number of skeleton soldiers who were not afraid of death.

These skeletons not only continued to climb the wall, but after accumulating enough companions or bones under the city wall, they began to climb towards the city wall with these companions.

If you watch this scene outside the city at this moment, you will see that the bones are like earth and stones, piled up more and more under the duke city.

As the number of bones increased, the towering advantage of the city wall gradually diminished.

"Kakaka!"

Finally, after paying an unknown amount of broken bones, the first skeleton soldier climbed the city wall.

boom!

However, this skeleton soldier had just enough time to let out an infiltrating sound to cheer for his first successful climb to the city wall, but a long sword directly chopped it to pieces.

However, this skeleton soldier is only the first.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

For a while, the sound of the white death skeleton was like a virus, eroding every part of the city wall.

And when these skeleton soldiers gradually intertwined with the defenders of the city wall, the dark knights in the rear finally arrived at their servants. They turned over and dismounted, and also rushed upwards on the **** paved with bones.

"Woooooo!"

Seeing that there were more and more enemies, the defenders on the Duke City side blew their horns again.

"Extraordinary Knights, kill!"

With the sound of the horn, the second wave of living forces finally poured in, strangling the dark creatures that climbed the city wall.

However, there are reinforcements here in the Duke City, and there is also an endless stream of dark creatures.

In this way, in the next battle, the two sides sent their living forces to the city wall one after another, and put them into this meat grinder.

"This is the first day of battle!"

At this moment, the king leaders of the six empires and several other races did not immediately participate in the battle.

Instead, he stood in the center of the city wall and quietly watched the surrounding battle.

When they saw that this was the first encounter, such a fierce battle started, and the expressions of several kings could not help but become solemn.

The dark creatures are not afraid of death, and the end of the dark creatures is still invisible outside the city at this moment, so it is conceivable what kind of attack the Holy Continent will have to bear next.

"Everyone, even if these dark creatures are just ordinary dark creatures, no matter how many they are, we are confident to hold on to them. What we really need to worry about is that we don't know how many Xeons are in this dark abyss!"

"Yeah, didn't the last expedition team encounter the legendary dark bone dragon, such a terrifying guy is the real threat to us!"

"Look, those skeleton soldiers are heading towards the back of the Duke City!"

Just as several kings were worried about the next situation and sighed, they suddenly discovered that some dark creatures outside the city were close to the Duke City, but they did not fight.

Instead, it bypassed the Duke City and began to move towards the rear.

"This is the fighting method of the dark creatures. It relies on the number of locusts to completely fill an area at the same time. More than a hundred years ago, just like now, all races in our sacred continent were beaten and retreated!"

"Fortunately, we now have sacred thorns. Even if we fall into their encirclement, we will not be trapped to death by the erosion of death energy."

"Moreover, there are several lines of defense behind us, and it is impossible for them to completely surround us."

However, seeing the trend of becoming a dark creature, the kings were not too surprised.

Because this is the favorite fighting method of dark creatures, relying on the number of blooms, besieging all nearby cities where living creatures gather.

With the blessing of the number, the dark creatures can make all the cities overwhelmed, and they can only become turtles in the urn. It is difficult to even break through and escape in the end.

And this is also the reason why so many races and kingdoms in the Sacred Continent were directly wiped out and disappeared into the long river of history.

It's just that the human race has long been prepared this time, not only has enough sacred thorns prepared in each city to fight the erosion of death energy.

It even planted many sacred thorns in the wilderness.

Although these sacred thorns outside the city cannot actively cause damage to dark creatures, they will make dark creatures subconsciously avoid areas with a large number of sacred thorns but no living creatures.

In this way, even if the human race wants to break out, it can break out along the areas where these dark creatures are sparse.

This is also an important supply line for cities to forcibly obtain supplies if supplies are lacking in the future.

"Everyone, stop chatting, you see that those big guys are already approaching, and now they must not be allowed to destroy the city wall, it's time to do it!"

At this moment, Theodore suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation.

Because the dark pythons, dune giants and dark earth dragons have approached the city wall.

Although these guys couldn't step on the bones directly to the city wall due to their size, they were the biggest threat to the city for the time being.

Because the bodies of these guys are strong enough, they are the best weapon to destroy the city wall.

"Let's go! It's our turn!"

The next moment, the kings of the six empires rose into the air and walked directly towards the outside of the city.

Seeing this, the kings and leaders of the orcs, dwarves, and elves also headed out of the city.

Immediately, a more shocking and fierce battle broke out outside the city.

Several kings of the six empires and the king leaders of the three clans can already be regarded as the top forces of the Holy Continent.

Therefore, no matter who it is, it can face the dark dragon or the dark python alone.

But even so, because of the advantage of the number of dark creatures, it was still difficult to give up, and the kings could only barely block these dark creatures outside the city wall.

The battle in the Duke City is only a corner. As the dark creatures crossed the Duke City, they began to bloom in the surrounding cities and towns.

At this moment, hurried horns came from the cities, and then there was a fierce battle like the Duke City.

Of course, because the largest number of creatures gathered in the Duke City, and the dark creatures also noticed that most of the top powers of the Holy Continent were located in it, most of the high-level dark creatures stayed there.

This made the battles in the large and small cities equally fierce, but the pressure was much less than that of the Duke City.

And when the war on the front started, Narant received the same message only half a day later.

He asked Xiao Huihui and Xun Ying sent by Shirley to send back the situation ahead immediately.

"The situation is not optimistic, but with the current quality of dark creatures, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of Duke City!"

"In addition, it seems that it is impossible for the dark creatures ahead to hit us for a while, so we just need to wait quietly."

"If there is a city ahead that sends a team to seek supplies, then we can also respond according to the situation!"

After listening to Shirley's report, Narant called in several of his subordinates to explain.

As for the dwarves, orcs, or goblins, Narant was not prepared to inform them of this.

Especially the orcs and goblins, it is probably useless to inform them.

These guys will not listen to their orders, they will definitely stay in this city motionless.

Because they were left in the city, the only order was to be stationed, unless their own superiors of the tribes came to issue new orders.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Well, go down and have a good rest. Although we may not suffer any attacks in the past few days, the future is not clear!"

Narant waved his hand and called back all his subordinates.

In the next few days, although the battle situation in front was still fierce, the rear of Narant was as calm as ever.

Although there were occasionally a few bloodthirsty bats or gargoyles wandering around, they were all handled by Narant.

Above these bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, there are also skeleton soldiers or dark knights, which should be spies of dark creatures.

After being dealt with by Narant, these guys did not dare to get too close to their small town.

In addition, the supplies of the Thorn Fortress in the rear are still continuously gathering towards their small town.

The city in front also began to occasionally send teams to the small city to obtain supplies.

Although those cities have already fallen under the siege of dark creatures, because the road to break through the supply has been reserved for a long time, it is barely able to allow the supply team to come and go, but the loss of manpower on the road is inevitable~www.novelhall.com ~But such a loss is actually not worth mentioning compared to the frontal battlefield.

In this way, time flies, and in a flash, it came ten days after the start of the siege of the dark creatures.

As time passed, the number of dark creatures not only did not decrease, but instead increased, as if there was no end.

In this way, although the Duke City and other cities are still holding on, they have not fallen.

But the casualties on the Sacred Continent began to expand gradually, and the war also spread to more cities.

As more cities fall under the siege of dark creatures, it also means that it becomes more and more difficult for the frontmost cities to obtain supplies.

Just this morning, Narant even saw a supply team coming out of the city near Duke City.

According to the captain of the supply team, there were a total of 3,000 people and 200 carriages when they arrived, but when they arrived at the small town where Narant was located, there were only 2,000 people and only three points left in the carriage. of two.
