The holy knight Verina, who was stationed at the main gate of the White Wolf Castle, covered in blood but covered in holy light, roared on the city wall:
"The second regiment must stand up for me! Let me tell you, you don't have any reinforcements, but you are absolutely not allowed to take half a step back on the city wall! Do you hear me clearly?"
The roaring sound, along with the sound of the wind, was sealed up by a young mage apprentice, and within a minute, it was sent to the ears of the defenders on the other part of the city wall north of the main gate, the second captain of the garrison army. inside.
However, it is destined that the alliance captain will not hear the news. How could his head, which had no ears and was separated from the body, hear orders
After a while, Verina learned that the captain of the southern section of the city wall had been killed by the violently attacking demon army. The entire alliance's defense line had begun to collapse, and the southern section of the city wall was about to lose its hold. up.
She let out a long sigh and persisted for almost two days, but she still couldn't hold on anymore.
On December 22nd, the demon army led by Kang Li approached the city of Shawan Harbor. At that time, the first stage of the evacuation of Shawan Harbor hosted by Verina had already ended. A large number of important materials and a large number of people were urgently mobilized in those few days, and a large number of ships moored through Shawan Port were all transported to the ocean, and not a single ship stayed in the port.
On the one hand, the ship itself is a very important wealth; on the other hand, it is impossible for them to leave the ship to Kangli's demon army. Is it convenient for others to chase after it
As for what Verina would do after all the ships left, even if they were empty... She didn't care at all.
She never thought of leaving by boat, even though many people persuaded her, she still had no intention of doing so. She knew that the most important part of Dane's territory south of Schindler was not the seemingly wealthy Sandy Bay Port. The real core city is White Wolf Fort, the castle that established the power of the Human Temple.
In order to preserve the vitality of Shawan Port, she would rather give up the city's defenses than remove all personnel. However, she absolutely cannot give up White Wolf Fort.
At the moment before Kangli's demon army came, Verina and Palan, leading the garrison at Shawan Harbor, decisively left the city and withdrew to White Wolf Fort. Combining the strength of the garrison army that has withdrawn from Rotten Wolf Town into White Wolf Fort, combining the garrison of Shawan Harbor led by her, and counting the remaining troops of White Wolf Fort itself, the number of legions in her hand can exceed Five thousand people.
If all the untrained soldiers from the several training camps in White Wolf Fort were pulled out, the number of this temporarily formed army could reach 6,000. If, including the estimated 20,000 to 30,000 civilians in White Wolf Fort, which absorbs the entire population of Rotten Wolf Town and some surrounding villages, Velina feels that she already has a certain amount of money, and she can talk to Kang Li. The Demon Legion fought hard.
Of course, she will not be so arrogant that with such a motley army, and the number of motley troops is far less than others, to win the Kangli army that has been overwhelming all the way south since the expedition.
However, her purpose is just to stick to it.
With such strength, it should be possible to persevere, right
However, when the demon army broke through Shawan Harbor and arrived at the White Wolf Castle on the night of the 22nd, and immediately launched a round of attack without resting, Verina felt it instantly. Enormous pressure.
When the enemy attacked, it hadn't been long since she arrived at White Wolf Fort, and many defensive measures hadn't been deployed yet. In such a situation of lack of adequate preparation, when the enemy ushered in a crazy and fierce attack, the gate of White Wolf Castle was almost breached on the first day.
Those crazy, exploding, and terrifying demons are already a headache when they are grouped together individually or in small numbers. And when this number expands to tens of thousands, the fear it brings is so violent that people can't bear it!
At night, when you look at the eyes that are all scarlet, occasionally when a violent flame with a strong sulfur smell rises up, it shines out, and all the dark patches are all such hideous demons, whether it is What kind of human warrior would be gutted to see such a scene!
Verina climbed to the top of the city herself and took the lead in fighting. She even immediately pulled out all the twenty or so quasi-templar knights who were still undergoing training in the Abbey of White Wolf Castle.
She is a high-level paladin, although her personal combat power is not particularly strong, but in any case, there are twelve professional levels here; and those quasi-templar knights, although not as good as the sixty that Dane brought with him Strong, but before they received knight training, they were priests with second to third ring spellcasting abilities.
Thus, Verina became a 'big light bulb' on the city that night, while the twenty or so quasi-templar knights became a 'small light bulb'.
But no matter what, together they brought light to the soldiers in White Wolf Fort who were so intimidated by the demon that they almost didn't know how to fight.
After a night of hard fighting, the city gate was saved at any rate.
The enemy retreated after dawn, but they made a comeback at noon, and the result was another hard fight all afternoon.
After fighting for one night and one day, the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered considerable casualties.
This day and night, more than 3,000 humans spilled blood on the top of the White Wolf Castle.
Among them, more than 1,000 soldiers died in battle; the conscripted civilians who had just taken up arms suffered even greater losses, with 2,000 dead.
And the head of the demon they captured may only be in the early five or six hundred.
Casualties are high, and this matter can be put aside for the time being. There are still many living people in the city, even if it has been fighting at such a high price, as long as the city can be defended, it is worth it. The city is destroyed, so what's the use of many people surviving? Could the devil still show mercy, or fail to accept the captive
However, defending the city is such a difficult task.
After fighting for a whole day, the quite tired soldiers and civilians of White Wolf Castle hadn't had much rest time at all. On the 25th, they were once again attacked by the demon army.
This battle was fought from morning to night again. But at this moment, in the evening, the city finally showed signs of losing its hold.
