Chapter 505 Chapter 506 Under the city

The sun is gradually rising from the east, and it is the southern kingdom that almost greets the morning light with the industrial boom city of Alanhill. The easternmost port of Shackburn.

This port city has a tall city wall and countless garrisons. It is a famous fortress in the southern kingdom.

It's just, because of the war, it's a little depressed here. After being plundered twice by the Alanhill fleet, larger batteries were built and more soldiers were deployed.

The demons were busy occupying places that were easy to invade, and they did not concentrate their forces to attack here, so the more and more people gathered here, and the streets were crowded with naked refugees who took refuge.

On the city wall, brightly armored troops stand behind the crenels, and the flag of the southern kingdom flutters in the wind.

Compared to the surrounding lands that have been eroded by demons, this place can be said to be a hidden land of peace and prosperity.

It's just that, as the commander of the City Guard, as one of the few remaining nobles in the southern kingdom, the count Roisac of Shakeben City, clearly knows that the current situation is impossible to maintain for a long time.

After the demons have eaten all the people who can eat and are easy to eat, they will still focus on this once prosperous and now crowded city.

So he sent a ship north, hoping to contact Alanhill, hoping to ask for help from his former enemy, and let Alanhill's fleet rescue these refugees.

At the same time, he also sent his own messengers for help to other places, but there were demons everywhere along the way. It is unknown how many of these messengers can reach their destinations by land.

With wrinkled hands, rubbing against the cold and hard city wall stone, the old count Roysac's face was solemn. He doesn't know that he can last a few days here, because the population is too large, and his current food reserves have dropped to a very dangerous amount.

According to the calculation, even if you only eat one meal a day, the food in the city will only be enough to feed everyone for less than 20 days - but the City Guard can't eat only one meal a day, because they still need Fight, to ensure their physical strength.

"I knew this earlier, why did I have to do it in the first place? I have already reminded Your Majesty to take refuge in the devil's path, and it will not work...but..." The old count shook his head slightly, muttered in a low voice, worried Looking into the distance.

Because of his age, he can no longer see the distant scenery, but he can still see the rising fire beacons, and the dark clouds and lightning that cover the top in the distance.

"There is a situation!" An officer beside him pressed the hilt of the long sword, pointed to the city wall and shouted to his officer: "The horse is back!"

The small city gate dedicated to recovering horses has been opened. In order to resist the increasing number of refugees and the demonic troops that may appear at any time, the gate of the city has been completely blocked.

The heavy little city gate was pushed open from the inside, a war horse rushed into the city, the person riding on it turned over and got off the horse, gasping for breath, and climbed the steep stairs beside him. On the city head.

"My lord! My lord! Suna, not far from us... was attacked by demons! Before I got there, I saw fire and smoke." The scout visited the horse one-knee kneels Here's a report on the slightly hunchbacked old count Roy Isaac.

"You're the only one who came back?" Roisac count asked nervously, "Where are the others?"

"We were scattered by a demon dog. , I don't know where the rest are." The spy seemed to recall something terrifying, and his voice trembled slightly: "The devil is too terrifying, too terrifying."

"Okay. Now, go down and rest!" Roisac waved his hand, indicating that the scout could go down.

Then he looked towards the outside of the city. Those refugees who gathered together, were not accepted, and were unwilling to leave, did not know how to choose.

Let these refugees flood into the city, and his food may not last for ten days. But if they are not allowed to enter the city, the demon troops that follow will slaughter these unarmed people.

"General! We want young and strong soldiers who can fight... Those old men and women outside the city can only..." The officers under his command saw Roisac's hesitation. He spoke out and persuaded: "Be kind at this time, and let the people in the city be buried with them."

"I'm just thinking, even if we abandon these people, we won't be able to support them for ten days." Luo Isaac said with a bitter smile: "No one knew we were still holding on, no one came to save us, no one cared about our lives..."

His words were depressing, now their southern kingdom Still nominally an accomplice of the devil. Even if they knew they were alive, the people who were willing to take the risk to save them were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

In fact they are now hated to the core, many people hate traitors who are in the company of demons, and it happens that the southern kingdom is one of these sinners who betrayed humanity.

"We don't rely on anyone, we rely on ourselves!" The officer standing beside Roisac count gritted his teeth and squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.

It's just that he's stubborn. In fact, even he himself knows it very well. Not to mention the fierce and irresistible battle strength of the devil, just the food in the city is not enough to support them for a long time. hold on.

Hundreds of thousands of people need to eat! This is hundreds of thousands of mouths! Once there is a famine in the city, the order will collapse and chaos. When the time comes, let alone fighting, it will be difficult to maintain a basic life.

In the forest in the distance, a piece of flying birds suddenly startled, and some beasts began to rush out of the bushes at the edge of the forest in a panic.

The refugees outside the city got out of the simple fences and tents, stood up and frowned and looked at the eerie forest, wondering what was going on inside.

After a few seconds, some small trees began to shake, and everyone knew that something was approaching.

The thin men grabbed hoes or farm implements beside them, and some people also carried some homemade weapons such as pistols.

It's just that these farmer beggars who have not received professional training will not be able to form a formation to meet the enemy.

After all, those who have fought, are physically strong, and have some ability have all been put into the city and incorporated into the City Guard.

The rest, those who stay outside the city, except for a few young adults who are unwilling to leave their families and give up entering the city, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are not of any battle strength.

"What, what's coming?" a boy with a hoe nervously asked the father beside him, his father stared at the swaying trees and swallowed a replied spit: "The devil ...child, those are demons!"

Following his answer, the first demon dog rushed out of the woods and pounced on the humans who were close at hand. Those hideous bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl, and those disgusting eyes, suddenly made the densely packed human refugees collapse.

The demon dog leaped forward, ignoring the farm implement in the target's hand, knocking down an old man whose soul flew away and scattered long ago, and began to tear it apart. bite.

The blood splattered suddenly, the old man just called for help and then there was no sound. The neighborhood was silent for a few seconds, leaving only the ka ka sound of bones being chopped by teeth, making people hair stands on end trembling in fear.

"Ah!" A woman's scream instantly awakened everyone who was stunned. The men and women in the front row began to back away, and the people behind also stepped back without knowing what was happening. If the area covered by the refugees under the city was likened to a ball, a huge depression soon appeared where the demon dog appeared.

"Oh my God! The devil! The devil is here!" For a while, chaos spread in the crowd, pushing and shoving each other, falling, crushing, and trampling, many more people than the devil killed.

At this time, the second demon dog threw out of the bushes, bit the shoulder of a refugee who had no time to escape, and pressed him to the ground and kept twisting his neck.

A whole piece of flesh and blood was torn off by it, even the bones. The bitten refugee lay on the ground, his broken body still twisting.

"Run! Son! Run to the city wall!" Grabbing his son's hand, the farmer ran back desperately. He pushed away a thin old man standing in front of him, without looking back at everything that was happening behind him.

The child, who had been terrified by the cannibalistic image, was grabbed by his father's arm and staggered to the crowd. Don't even care about what's going on behind you.

The Roisac count standing on the top of the city, and the City Guards stationed behind the crenel, can see clearly at this moment.

They watched the demon dog rush out of the woods, and watched the crowd boil and collapse. More and more demon dogs rushed into the open space occupied by the refugees, and more and more people were bitten and dismembered by the demon dogs.

Now, Roisaac knew why the two hundred thousand elite troops on the border of the southern kingdom were routed in a single day.

At this moment, he also knew why the cavalry of the kingdom, the Imperial Family's forbidden army, were all annihilated without even struggling.

Those demons are not human at all, and their battle strength is definitely not something that humans can contend with. Thinking of this, he vaguely felt that something was wrong-if these demons were not something that humans could contend with, then what was it that drove the demons to Alanhill in the southern kingdom?

Just as he remembered Alanhill, there were more and more demon dogs outside the city. They wolves into the flock, driving and biting the refugees who have long been in a mess, and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people who only know how to cry.

Screaming everywhere, blood everywhere, stumps everywhere, corpses everywhere. Finally, an army soldier standing on the top of the city couldn't hold it any longer, and wa'ed vomited out.
