Chapter 429 428. City defenders
"It's not a bad thing to prepare more supplies!" Carl muttered to Suldak while eating the stew.
Carl took his ten squad leaders, including Suldak, out to purchase supplies.
Originally, Suldak had prepared a lot of supplies for this trip to the plane, and this time he bought a magic rune board of "water gathering" in the magic grocery store. As long as there are enough magic spar fragments, this kind of gathering The water rune tablet can provide a continuous supply of drinking water.
Such a water gathering metal rune board is not cheap, and he spent a full gold coin to buy it.
It doesn't matter if this metal rune plate is not needed for this mission. After returning to High Lansa City, you can bring it back to Wall Village.
The sulfur mines in the rocky area of Pustout Mountain have never been able to solve the water source problem. Except for the horse team transporting water there, occasionally when there is a shortage of water, they will use the magic scroll of water gathering that Suldak brought over. With this The 'Water Gathering' magic rune board should be able to greatly alleviate the water shortage problem in the sulfur mine.
Dry food such as scones, which is easy to store, is filled with a magic pocket, and some cheese wrapped in banana leaves, bags of nuts and dried berries are all packed into the magic pocket, as well as seasonings necessary for wild hunting and cooking utensils, in addition, Suldak also prepared some large beast traps.
I heard that some **** dogs invaded the Maca plane. Suldak had fought this kind of dogs before, and knew that they were about the size of a calf, and their bodies were as strong as adult wild boars. Only large beast traps would fight against them The Hellhound had some effect. In addition to the large animal trap, I also bought some alarm bells for warning. In addition, I also bought two small bottles of sub-dragon feces in the magic pharmacy.
Fortunately, the shops in Bena City had enough supplies. Karl took ten team leaders to stroll around for an afternoon, and finally prepared enough supplies before rushing back to the hotel.
A group of people shuttled through the streets and alleys of Bena City, and they could always see knights wearing different guard battalion uniforms passing by. Few people were sitting on the street chatting and laughing leisurely, and the city was full of a tense atmosphere.
The dinner in the hotel is a large barbecue steak. It is said that Viscount Emmett rushed into the Maca plane for everyone, and worried that the logistics work there could not keep up in time. The barbecue can keep the knight going all day without feeling too hungry.
After dinner, Viscount Emmet led the Knights of the High Lansa Guard Battalion along a long street to the Times Center Square in Bena City.
One side of the square was crowded with knights waiting to pass through the portal, and the other side was filled with various wooden boxes. These knights lined up and went to the material pile to receive a box of materials. The supplies were carried on their shoulders, and then quickly passed through the portal in the center of the square. Almost all the knights trotted into the portal carrying wooden boxes.
Suldak finally saw the portal at this time, and the portal was built with the skull of a dragon as the main body.
From the outside, it is difficult to see the appearance of the skull of the evil dragon. It is more like a trumpet-shaped building. The entire portal plane is surrounded by stone walls. Only at the entrance can one clearly see that it is an evil dragon. Q.
The knights ran towards the dragon's mouth one after another, and then completely disappeared into the darkness.
The knights connected very smoothly. Each of them carried a wooden box and walked quickly into the portal. A group of knights quickly entered the portal. The atmosphere seemed tense. It didn't take long before it was the turn of the Hailansa City Guard Battalion Behind Karl, the knight, Suldak quickly carried a large wooden box in the material storage place, and quickly walked into the portal.
After hundreds of years of wind and rain, although the portal erected in Times Square has become an antique building, time seems to have not dispelled the faint dragon power on the keel, through the arched gate, Suldak followed Karl and walked forward for more than ten meters, and saw a portal at the throat of the keel. The portal exuded faint water ripples, and almost all the knights in front rushed into the water ripples. , disappeared in an instant.
Through the portal for the second time, Suldak already had some experience and mental preparation.
When rushing into the portal, Suldak only felt a faint dizziness, and the scene in front of him changed accordingly. The dazzling sunlight made Suldak squint his eyes, and a warm and humid breath quickly Wrap Surdak's body.
A moment ago it was still a severe winter, but I didn't expect that the Maca plane was as warm as spring.
There are strange howling sounds faintly around the city, and there are always flocks of birds rushing past in the sky, and there is hardly any gunpowder smoke in sight.
At this time, Suldak saw three magicians riding on the handles chasing the winged monster flying over the edge of the city.
"Keep going forward, you are blocked at the teleportation gate, hurry up, go to the material storage place in front..." Someone at the teleportation gate kept yelling, with the flag in his hand pointing to the open space of the square, to guide the people stuck at the teleportation gate knight.
Suldak and Karl quickly identified the direction and walked towards the material storage area in the square here. Karl turned around to count the number of people from time to time. Viscount Emmet and the other three captains stood on a wooden box in the square They were extremely eye-catching, they were like beacons in the waterway, and after delivering the wooden boxes they carried on their shoulders, the knights of the guard battalion of Hailansa City gathered towards the position where Viscount Emmett was.
Viscount Emmett stood on the wooden box and said loudly: "The captains of each squadron are responsible for counting the number of people in their squadrons!"
A high-ranking general from Wojmara City also walked over quickly with the clerk. Viscount Emmet quickly jumped out of the wooden box, saluted the senior general, and said loudly: "Sir, Hai Lansa Emmett, the second captain of the guard battalion, led 500 knights from the guard battalion to report!"
The senior general wore the Marquis Medal and the Wojmara Legion badge on his chest, and wore a set of neat military uniforms, and gave a military salute to Viscount Emmett.
The clerk beside him kept recording the numbers reported by Viscount Emmett, and raised his head from time to time to look at the knights standing aside. The knight formation was neatly arranged, and the approximate number of people could be estimated at a glance.
"I'm Felix Cobham, the city defense commander of the Wojmara Legion. I will be responsible for the deployment and combat deployment of your guard battalion Knights. I will arrange the barracks for you later." Felix Commander Si first introduced himself.
Then he said: "The city of Wojmara is a bit chaotic now, and the reinforcements from various parts of the Knights have been stationed one after another. If there is anything that needs to be coordinated, you can contact me directly, or you can appeal to my clerk."
He glanced at the Knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, and said to Viscount Emmett: "Captain Emmett, the situation in Wojmara City is not optimistic now. The forward battalion of the Hellhounds rushed to the city. Your knights The regiment didn't have time to rest, so they immediately went to the east wall, the garrison over there had been fighting hard for a week, and they needed to withdraw from the city to rest for a night!"
Viscount Emmett stood upright and said loudly to Commander Felix: "Yes, Commander Felix, I promise to complete the mission!"
After receiving the task, Viscount Emmet shouted to the knights standing in the square: "Knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, follow me to guard the eastern city wall."
He directly led the Knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion to the eastern wall of Wozhimara.
From the anxious eyes of these citizens, Suldak could feel that the danger was gradually approaching. There were bursts of shouts of killing in the distance, and almost all the knights gradually entered the excited state of fighting. Everyone's footsteps were unconsciously moving Speed up and run towards the battle zone where the city wall is located.
…
Hellhounds with dark skin and flowing hot lava are constantly emerging from the dense forest below the city...
Andrew leaned the big ax in his hand against the edge of the city wall, spit towards the bottom of the city, rubbed his sore arm, and helped his companions throw the body of a hellhound at the top of the city under the inner city wall. The corpses of the hellhounds are all meritorious service, but not to mention that these things are piled up on the city wall to affect the battle, the sticky purple blood that flows out also exudes a stench.
Just repelling a wave of Hellhound attacks, Andrew felt his muscles twitching continuously, which was an early warning before muscle fatigue. If he didn't rest, his hands and feet might cramp soon. He and a comrade Sitting back to back on the wall, take the opportunity to rest for a while.
Andrew has been stationed on the north city wall for seven consecutive days. These days, he is almost tired and sleeps in a corner. After being awakened by the battle, he picks up his weapon and rushes up to fight hard. The **** dog has amazing physical strength, almost relying on its sharp claws Fighting against the fangs, the 20-meter-high city wall is not too high for them. It is just a short run-up, and the sharp claws can easily climb the city wall with a few scratches on the wall.
Several hellhounds that crossed the city wall fought with the reserve group below the city. Those young recruits looked okay, but it was only during the battle that they realized that they knew almost nothing except crying for their parents!
The **** dogs are still gathering below the city. They are waiting for the next wave of charge. A small number of **** dogs rush up from the city and can only deliver food to the guards on the city. Therefore, they gather in a large wave every time, like a sea tide rushed to the top of the city.
Not far from the arrow tower, the bed crossbowman rested beside the bed crossbow. When he saw Andrew looking over, he waved his hand weakly, indicating that he was still alive.
Andrew doesn't know how long he can last, maybe he will be thrown down by a hellhound and bite his throat in the next moment. He hopes that the city defense command can send more reinforcements to this section of the city wall as soon as possible, but this idea has been born for several days Well, except for the useless reserve regiments under the city, the city defense command post didn't even send them here.
He is a native descendant of Wojmara City, he can't pack his luggage like everyone else in the city, and return to Roland Continent.
Because this is his home, unless he wants to go into the mountains and continue to live a primitive and backward tribal life, but a native descendant like him has long forgotten the survival skills in the wild, so he wants to defend this city.
He took out a piece of tobacco from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. The bitter taste made him feel a lot clearer. In an instant, he was approaching the danger. Andrew didn't even need to get close to the wall, his instinct told himself that the city The hellhound rushed to the top of the city again.
Sure enough, a hellhound poked its head out from the wall. Andrew picked up the giant ax and rushed up to the calf-sized hellhound without hesitation. The ax struck the top of the dog's head, but the vicious The hardness of the dog's head was far beyond his imagination. After being hit hard by the axe, the hellhound actually bit Andrew's wrist back, and Andrew hurriedly took the giant ax back.
The companion behind him stabbed a spear in time and pierced the **** dog's throat with incomparable precision. A hellhound rushed to the top of the city with a crossbow arrow.
Andrew held the big ax tightly in both hands and stood at the front. With the blade flying, several **** dogs dared not approach easily.
It's just that there were a lot of **** dogs rushing to the top of the city. A few steps away, a guard who had been fighting with him for seven days was knocked down by a **** dog. After he was rescued, several hellhounds took the opportunity to surround him and tore the guard in copper armor to pieces.
Seeing that the city wall next to him was about to be captured by the **** dogs, Andrew let out a loud roar, cut down the **** dogs that were rushing up in front of him, and rushed towards those **** dogs.
The city walls were full of bitter battles, and the bed crossbowmen on the archery tower could only aim the bed crossbow at the area where the hellhounds were most densely populated and shoot giant crossbow arrows.
The spear in the hand of the companion behind Andrew was bitten by a hellhound that came out from the side. When fighting for the spear, his footsteps were a little unsteady, and the companion was dragged to the ground by the hellhound. Two hellhounds tried to drag him back. Seeing that his companion was still holding on to the spear tightly, Andrew cursed angrily, "Idiot, let me go quickly..."
The companion let go of his hand quickly, allowing the two **** dogs to retreat with their spears in their bites.
Immediately afterwards, two more vicious dogs took the opportunity to pounce on them. Knowing that his companion had lost his weapon and needed time to find a new one from the weapon rack behind the city wall, Andrew stepped forward without hesitation and stopped one of them with a huge axe. The hellhound, he knocked away the sharp fangs of a hellhound with the ax blade, but he didn't expect that the hellhound was so fierce that he let the axe cut a hole in its head without fear of death. With the only fang, he bit Andrew's thigh.
Andrew only felt his eyes go dark, and a huge force came from his leg, and two blood holes were bitten out of his thigh by the hellhound.
He yelled, and cut off the hellhound's lower jaw with an axe. Enduring the severe pain, he dragged his injured leg and took two steps back.
Several guards beside him were rushed by the **** dogs. Duan Zhang on the city wall had already blown the retreat whistle, but he was a little inconvenient to move, and fell to the back, watching the **** dogs pouring up from the city wall. More and more **** dogs gathered on the road, and some **** dogs rushed into the city. Andrew was worried that these **** dogs would follow and kill them from the city wall.
He used his body to block a hellhound chasing at the front, raised his giant ax and slashed down vigorously, in order to create time for his companions to reorganize the line of defense, but that stubborn companion saw him fall into the pack of hellhounds , Unexpectedly, he was not prepared to retreat and shrink the line of defense, and even used a large round shield in his hand to desperately resist the bite of the **** dog, trying to drag him away from the sharp claws of the **** dog.
"Let go of me! You idiot, get the **** out of me." At a critical moment, Andrew yelled at his long-time partner.
"If you want me to raise your son for you, go ahead and dream!" The companion responded unceremoniously.
The sharp claws of the two hellhounds stepped on the shield of his companion at the same time. Andrew only felt that his eyes dimmed, and saw a hellhound opening its **** mouth and biting towards his head. At this time, the only thing he could do was All he had to do was swing the giant ax in his hand.
"Ah…"
At the juncture of life and death, Andrew seemed to see the huge ax in his hand turning into a white line, and an inexplicable reckless breath poured into his body. He didn't expect that he would actually comprehend the "soul of the berserker" when he was dying. His eyes were blood red. Staring at a group of **** dogs with dark circles of eyes.
It's too late!
He smashed the head of the **** dog that was pressing on him with an axe, and several more dogs rushed up, opened their **** mouths and bit his arm, and the wet tongue of a dog almost landed on him. On his face, he could clearly see the fangs sticking to his eyelids, as if they were going to bite his head into pieces in the next second.
Suddenly a heavy long sword pierced the head of the hellhound, and the foul-smelling purple blood splashed on his face.
Holding the craftsman's sword in one hand and the dwarven chain shield in the other, Suldak stepped over Andrew's body. The shield slammed into the jaw of another hellhound, and the craftsman's sword in his hand stabbed into the hellhound. canine throat.
