City of Hope.
Since the moment the dark race rushed out of the surface, the distant City of Hope also sensed something was wrong.
The efficiency of the city organized by the Three Sisters is still very high. They quickly caught a hint of danger.
Under the leadership of leader Rory, City of Hope quickly activated the highest level of alert.
Scouts were sent out continuously, and information flowed into City of Hope one after another.
…
On the city wall, the purple-haired little girl stared into the distance.
The rocky mountain shrouded in dark clouds still had a glimmer of light.
But these rays of light caused very little damage to the dark race.
Her eyes can see very far, which is her unique ability.
A pitch-black blockade has been completed.
It is like a black poisonous snake, entangled between the City of Hope and the outlying towns such as Xiongshi Town, killing many fleeing refugees!
"Dark Race... Lion Town has been breached."
She whispered in her mouth.
The knight commander beside her looked serious.
As the supreme leaders of the city, the three sisters have the supreme right to speak. But this power is still very stable in normal times, after all, it is backed by Jessica's strong strength.
But at this moment, even City of Hope is in chaos!
The dark race is coming!
When the news came, people were immediately panicked.
Because there are no powerful legends sitting in the current city of hope!
Jessica, the most powerful of the three sisters, has recently been capturing a black dragon that often harassed the rocky mountain on the edge of the chaotic land.
And Kate, who gradually showed a stable ability to cast spells, also took some entourages to the dangerous area in the west to investigate the meteor incident.
Among the three sisters. Only the youngest Rory was left.
Although the residents loved Rory, the girl was too young. Few people are willing to pin their hopes on such a little girl.
If it weren't for the pressure of the city defense team and Jessica's previous prestige, I am afraid that civil strife would have occurred in the City of Hope long ago.
Even so, a feeling of uneasiness is still spreading in City of Hope.
The merchants packed up their belongings and tried to flee further west; the poor were huddled together in a daze, and they wanted to know more information.
All of a sudden, the city was in turmoil.
It's just that all of this eased up immediately after Rory came forward.
This seemingly young girl is actually quite intelligent. She has extraordinary management and command skills.
In the first time when the incident happened. She mobilized the most loyal city of hope defense team.
And the knight commander Terry beside her is the most loyal follower of the three sisters.
A series of orders came from Luo Rui's mouth, and the city defense team strictly carried out them!
Mobilize the reserve militia; recruit adventurers; quickly deploy the city defense team and transfer the residents of the villages near the City of Hope; summon the exiled warlock group [Devil's Hand]; open the shelter and send the old, weak, women and children into it; open the weapons Ku, distribute self-defense weapons to young and strong civilians...
One order after another was being carried out in an orderly manner.
Unconsciously. People's hearts have settled down a lot.
Looking at the small figure standing on the city wall, they couldn't help feeling an unprecedented reverence in their hearts.
Before this crisis, the little girl had been shown obediently hiding behind her two older sisters.
She is delicate and cute, yet naughty and innocent.
No one knew that when the war came, she had such a calm and rational side.
Even the knight commander beside her was the first time seeing Miss Rory giving orders so frequently.
…
"The stamina of diggers is average, even if they are driven by spells. They are always lazy. They don't work for a long time."
"But without diggers, it would be very difficult to break through City of Hope. The commander of the dark race must also understand this."
"So. The general attack on City of Hope should be three days later. During this period, their purpose must be to eliminate all nearby surface humans. After all, in the eyes of dark creatures, surface creatures are prey."
Rory muttered to herself, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Uncle Terry, are those people really irreparable?"
The knight commander was silent.
City of Hope is ready for war mobilization. He is confident that under the leadership of Miss Rory, he will repel the hateful dark race.
Besides, the mighty Lord Jessica will definitely notice such a big commotion from the dark race.
Once the apocalypse warlock returns to the city of hope, under the absolute suppression of the legendary warlock, the army of the dark race will also be vulnerable!
But the people Miss Rory mentioned—that is, the residents living between the outlying towns such as City of Hope and Lion Town—I'm afraid they really can't be saved.
Looking down from the city wall, even though the sky is dark, you can still see far away.
The dark blockade is clearly visible. Although the blockade is uneven, it is full of underground monsters.
Goblins, jackals, and kobolds constitute the main force of the blockade. Although these creatures are not strong in combat, they are more numerous.
And the more powerful bear goblins and swamp devils are the real nightmares!
They are interspersed in the middle of the blockade, and no matter which part of the blockade is missing, these monsters will make up for it.
Just now, they witnessed the assault failure of a fairly elite cavalry squad.
They are from another small town near Xiongshi Town.
More than 20 knights rushed through the blockade abruptly.
It's a pity that he was caught by the Zedimen who heard the news!
The stature of the swampmen is comparable to that of an ogre, and their intelligence is lower, but most of the swampmen have high magic resistance and are proficient in one or two types of spell abilities.
This is the biggest headache.
Because you don't know what his spell-like spells are - a tongue of fire or an ice pick suddenly pops out when you are fighting with a big guy in close quarters, it is very troublesome.
In short, those knights had just broken through the blockade of the goblins when they were swept away by a few swamp men.
These monsters rely on their strong bodies. It is enough to wipe out the entire cavalry team.
What's more, they have other helpers.
Both in quantity and quality. There is no way to compete with them.
This blockade is the death line for surface humans!
"Go and see how the refugee shelter is doing."
"If it's almost done, just close the city gate."
Rory sighed.
…
"The nearby residents have all been evacuated and accommodated. Fortunately, when the city was built, there were enough shelters, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fit in."
After a while, Knight Commander Terry reported in this way.
"The city gate can be closed at any time. All the rangers have been withdrawn at present."
Rory nodded.
She was just about to order.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a bustling turmoil suddenly appeared in the north of the blockade.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
There is movement.
…
It was a village a little north of Xiongshi Town.
Because they heard the sirens of Lion Town, they were before the invasion of the dark race. Just reacted.
Although most of the people were still buried in the mouth of the dark race.
But still a small number of people managed to escape.
Among them are many innocent villagers.
There were probably several hundred of these people, escorted by a large mercenary team.
The entire mercenary regiment has a number of about eighty, and their progress is very slow, but because of the large number of people, when trying to break through the blockade. Seems to see a glimmer of hope!
As long as they can break through this blockade, they can reach the City of Hope.
So everyone is working hard.
"Is there such a dedicated mercenary group?"
Terry also saw this scene.
The mercenary group hung the banner of the silver fox, and it was also one of the few famous mercenary organizations in the chaotic land.
This mercenary group is quite credible, and it seems that it took over the defense task of the northern village some time ago.
Now when they were evacuating, they were still escorting those villagers.
In fact, if they can abandon those villagers who have little combat effectiveness, they will have a higher probability of breaking through the blockade!
But they didn't.
Long blockade. For the first time there were twists and bulges.
The mercenary fighters rushed forward. They formed a V-shaped formation. Leading the way was a strong man with a two-handed sword.
That was the head of the mercenary group, and he was alone. Shengsheng killed a bloody road and led everyone to break through!
"No, we have to rescue them."
Rory frowned.
Knight Commander Terry gritted his teeth and said: "Although our cavalry has not been attrition, if we attack now, we will easily fall into the tide of monsters."
"It's even possible to take our own cavalry without rescuing them. After all, there are too many monsters."
Rory was silent.
The little girl knew that Terry was right.
It is unwise to sacrifice a cavalry team for the sake of hundreds of people, and at the same time greatly reduce the chances of survival of thousands of people in City of Hope.
But for her, life is not a simple and indifferent conversion.
She clenched her fists: "Rangers, send out."
"We must save them."
"Anyway, we're going to try."
Terry took a deep look at her, and finally gave a knight salute:
"yes!"
"I will lead the team myself!"
The little girl was stunned: "Uncle Terry!"
But this time, the knight commander walked down the city wall without looking back.
…
The gate of City of Hope slowly opened.
A cavalry squad composed of more than 30 people quickly headed north of the blockade.
Soon, they rushed to the edge of the blockade.
Under the leadership of Knight Commander Terry, they forcibly tore through the line of defense and successfully joined the mercenary group.
"Follow us, rush out!"
Knight Commander Terry roared.
Everyone worked together and followed the cavalry to the west.
However, at this moment, the five-headed Swamp Demons had already surrounded them.
Following behind the swamp was a group of bear goblins and a dark elf squad!
Kobolds and Gnolls. Also continue to squeeze to the center.
On the human side, the pressure faced has increased sharply.
"Not good." A trace of worry flashed across Rory's face.
Although Terry is a Tier 3 master. But outnumbered.
If there is no way to deal with the Zedimen, this cavalry squad is also in danger!
"Uncle Terry..."
Rory prayed silently: "You must come back safely..."
However, at this moment, a somewhat lazy voice sounded beside her ears:
"There's no need to worry so much."
"They will definitely break through."
A fat creature sat on her shoulder.
"Well, stupid?"
Rory looked nervously to the north of the blockade.
The swampmen surrounded them very quickly. If they couldn't break out before they came, the cavalry would probably fall into the quagmire.
The current City of Hope does not yet have the ability to fight the underground creatures head-on.
However, those ordinary villagers greatly slowed down the progress.
Some women are still holding babies!
Many members of the mercenary group also fell. The leading regiment leader had just been hit by a sword in his knee and was walking with a limp. Need help to move forward!
The fate of this group of people seems to be sealed.
"I was careless!"
The little girl scratched at her pretty lavender hair in chagrin.
"No, you made the right decision."
Ben Ding squinted his eyes and said: "I can feel that there is a familiar guy hiding in the team."
"What is he waiting for?"
…
What are you waiting for Marvin
He is waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a move!
After leaving the warehouse of Wind Mill, they soon encountered the silver fox mercenary team, and the warm-hearted mercenaries regarded them as ordinary refugees. Pulled into the team.
They rushed all the way, and they were about to break through the blockade.
During this process, Marvin has been using shotguns and double guns in turns, in order not to attract the attention of the dark race commander!
"Go deeper!"
"Closer to City of Hope!"
He was waiting for that moment.
Once he makes a move, Ms. Tess will definitely notice it, and when the time comes to send more powerful creatures to stop it, this group of people really has no hope!
So he has to endure.
He must catch the opponent by surprise!
The rescue of the cavalry squad. Let him be overjoyed. It seems like it doesn't matter who's running City of Hope. The commander still values human life more.
A group of people rushed along the blockade, and they were about to break through the blockade.
Just at this time. The five Zedimen finally surrounded them!
There was a trace of despair on everyone's face.
Zedi Moren, they are all big men over 2.5 meters tall!
The speed of the cavalry also slowed down.
"We fought them!"
The leader of Silver Fox was impassioned.
This guy is indeed a man of affection.
The rest of the mercenaries also raised their swords.
The villagers hugged each other silently, looking at these mercenary men gratefully.
They knew that if it wasn't for them, maybe these mercenaries would have broken through the blockade long ago.
These people are truly respectable people.
"I can no longer lead the charge."
The head of the regiment raised his long sword: "So, boys, let's charge together!"
"kill!"
The crowd roared angrily, and with a trace of unwillingness, they killed the five-headed Zedi demons as if they were going to die!
However, at this moment, a fast-moving figure suddenly rushed from the flanks to the front of the team.
"Let me open the way."
He said so.
Even among the chaos, Marvin's voice could be heard clearly.
He was almost at the gate of City of Hope, and he didn't need to hide his strength anymore, for fear of attracting more powerful monsters.
Now is the time to break through the blockade!
He rushed forward frantically, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, his body also began to swell!
Magician, beast form is on!
The terrifying shadow of the Anzura bear descended in an instant, and eight or nine goblins were blown away with one slap!
Everyone was stunned, and immediately became ecstatic.
