Chapter 1029 1015. Friends far away
The magician Avid stood on a wooden roof outside the camp, looking at the chaotic battlefield, he was speechless
The old magic scholars he brought over looked at the chaotic scene in front of them, and didn't intend to take action at all, but the **** legion had begun to besiege the city, and the heavy armored infantry regiment of Suldak seemed rather embarrassed.
Whether to take the opportunity to attack the city, or to fight to the death with the army of **** outside the city, no matter what the current situation is, it is not the wisest choice for Suldak.
If the Suldak Legion is fighting to the death with the Hell Legion, it will virtually help the Lord Army reduce the pressure of the siege.
But at this time, if the enemy chooses to attack Mukuso City together with the Hell Legion, not only will he be condemned by all parties, but he may also face the pressure of the Hell Legion during the siege process. After all, it is impossible for the three parties to form an alliance. Judging from Erdak's military strength, he is the weakest of the three forces.
So Suldak stopped his army ten miles south of Mukusuo City to wait and see the situation.
Although there are also a large number of **** dogs following the refugees going south, they are naturally insignificant compared to the pressure from Mukusuo City.
At least this side is under the attack of the hellhound, and many times the attack is over, and the soldiers can be given a little rest.
There are still many carriages still in the slums, risking being attacked by **** dogs to transport these refugees to a safe place in the south.
The city gate of Mukuso was closed tightly, and Suldak's carriage convoy gradually escorted the residents of the town to evacuate southward.
More cryptmen gathered below the city. They did not follow the refugees southward. Their intention was obvious, that is, they wanted to capture Mukuso City in one fell swoop.
The situation in Mukuso City is precarious...
The Hell Legion’s siege battle never stopped after it started, and the fighting on the top of the city continued from morning to evening without stopping for a moment.
The corpses of the cryptmen below the city had long been piled up like a mountain, and the corpses of the city guards who were killed or wounded on the city wall were also filled with the city square, one by one corpses wrapped in white cloth lying on the square, from hundreds in the morning to dusk At that time, it reached four thousand.
The reason for the surge in the number of dead is that there are too many corpses of the cryptmen below the city. These corpses form a ladder, allowing more cryptmen and hellhounds to easily rush up the city wall.
Adler MacDonnell, the supreme commander of Lord McDonnell's army. The new Lord MacDonnell had just taken office for less than half a month, and just half a month ago, he led the First Legion to go north to crusade against the town of Acre, where the Black Magic Priory was entrenched, but the First Legion had not yet arrived. In the town of Ake, I met the army of **** coming from the north.
After three days of fierce fighting, the First Army of the Lord Army withdrew to Mukuso City.
On the first day of withdrawing from Mukuso City, when the nobles and lords of Mukuso City expressed concern about the situation in the north, this Adler MacDonnell was still patting his chest and expressing to the nobles that the city had assembled With nearly 60,000 lord troops, it is not difficult at all to defend Mukuso City.
When the Demon Race Hell Legion approached the city, Commander Adler MacDonnell's tone changed. He hoped that the noble lords in the city would provide some supplies to help the lord army tide over the difficulties together.
The defense battle of Mukuso City lasted for just one day, and the city defense army was almost defeated.
The remnants of the lord's army climbed to the top of the city under Adler's instruction to assist the city defense guards in fighting. The guards barely held the outer city wall of Mukuso.
In just one day, the Crypters gathered hundreds of thousands of troops under the city.
At night, the battlefield of the siege battle not only involved the north city wall, but also a large number of cavemen and hellhounds gathered under the east and west walls.
The siege pressure faced by the city defense guards is three times higher than that during the daytime. However, for the Crypters, day and night are the same. They can also fight at night, so all three walls are in emergency.
Lord Adler MacDonnell gathered the noble lords in the city that night, and he asked the noble lords in the city to provide their private armaments, adventure group fighters, and mercenaries to take turns to take part in the battle on the top of the city. Formulated by the city defense brigade.
In one night, the siege area spread to the south city wall.
It's just that the slum area in the south is very large. When many **** dogs arrived in the south of the city, they couldn't help but ran to chase and kill the people who couldn't escape, and they didn't form a siege in the south of the city.
Standing under the north city wall, Adler MacDonnell led a group of officers to watch the **** legion pouring out from below the city, with a worried expression on his face.
Adler McDonnell knew that it wouldn't take many Hell Legions to form a siege, and then he would really have to defend Mucuso City, but this city can support it in front of the Hell Legion without external resources. how long?
Troops and supplies will face a huge test.
However, due to the continuous wars in the past year, there are not many supplies in the warehouse of Mukuso City.
Adler MacDonnell really wanted to fall off the city wall, so he wouldn't have so many troubles.
Adler MacDonnell's subordinates have been persuading him: "Your Excellency, you must plan early! Once the south gate is blocked by the army of hell, even if you want to run, you will not be able to escape."
…
At dawn, hellhounds and cryptmen appeared in a large area of the slums in Nancheng, looking for anything to eat.
The great swordsman Quintus led the constructed swordsmen to fight fiercely for a day and a night. They dragged their exhausted bodies back to the camp. Almost everyone had a lot of battle results, and the heads of those **** dogs were thrown into the barracks one by one. In the wooden box in front of the big tent.
The swordsmen washed off the blood stains on their bodies under the wooden bath wall they had built before they died. Suldak walked out of the tent and asked Quintas Great Swordsman to arrange for these constructed swordsmen to enter the treatment tent one by one.
Regardless of whether he was injured or not, Suldak blessed each constructed swordsman with the blessing of God's Blessed Body.
The construction swordsmen did not expect Suldak to have such an operation.
The sense of fullness that continuously injects physical strength into the body amazed the swordsmen who constructed it.
The swordsmen are going to sleep first, and then go outside the camp to clean up those **** dogs later...
…
Waiting for Suldak to finish the blessing ceremony for five hundred swordsmen, Archmage Morrison walked into the tent with a serious face.
"The situation in Mukuso City is very bad, and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time. Dak, you also know that once Mukuso City is broken, the Ganbu plane is likely to become a jumping point for the Hell Legion." Mori Master Sen said worriedly.
The head of the magic union law enforcement team stared at Suldak with a pair of golden eyes, and continued:
"I plan to go to Mukuso and have a good talk with the commander of the lord army over there. During this period, I hope that the Bena coalition army and the local lord army can temporarily put aside their conflicts and jointly fight against the **** army."
Suldak thought for a while and said, "We don't think there is any possibility of cooperation at this time. After all, we have been here from Bansko Town..."
Master Morrison said lightly: "I can come forward to talk. If the negotiation fails, our mage group can only provide assistance to Mukuso. After all, that is the main battlefield facing the Hell Legion."
"Although everyone can cooperate, I will not give up repairing the portal, and I will wait for your news!"
Suldak smiled politely at Archmage Morrison and said.
Archmage Morrison turned and left, leaving Suldak alone in the barracks tent.
He was leaning on a wooden box, thinking about how he could fight against the Legion of Hell, and at the same time complete the combat tasks of the military department, reversing the current difficult situation.
At present, although it seems that the situation in Mukuso has no effect on the legion, it is because the Demon Hell Legion has not noticed the heavy armored infantry legion of Suldak. Once the Hell Legion notices, those massive cavemen and **** As long as the vicious dogs charge up, how long the legion can last is still unknown.
He patted his forehead, but it's a pity that Iser has not been contacted, and he doesn't know what the red dragon is doing.
Aphrodite has already rushed to the pustule mountain as fast as possible.
At this moment, he felt something burning on his chest, and he lowered his head to **** for a while, only to find that the phalanx had become slightly hot.
He took the phalanx off the lucid pendant, put it on his lips and blew.
A series of blood-colored runes drilled out from the finger bones, forming a blood-colored magic pattern circle at Suldak's feet, and a blood-colored gate appeared in the center of the magic-weave circle, filled with various horror reliefs The **** door was pushed open by a big pale hand.
The dark wind howled inside the gate, and countless big bone hands protruded from the gate. Those hands grabbed the edge of the gate, as if they were going to get out of it.
Earl Fornak walked out of the door in a decent black dress, he closed the **** door, walked gracefully in front of Suldak, sat down on the only chair in the tent, and said with a smile:
"Dark, long time no see! Waiting for you to treat me to afternoon tea is not easy..."
"Hello, Earl Funak!" Suldak stood up and said.
He wanted to pour a cup of tea for Earl Furnack, but the teapot in the military tent was already cold.
"It seems that you have some trouble..."
Earl Fornac had a faint smile on his face, but no matter how his face looked like it was covered with thick plaster powder.
"It is true that we have encountered a lot of trouble. Is everything going well with you?" Suldak said frankly.
Earl Fornac nodded and said: "I just annexed a piece of land recently, and I have a small corner in the ghost domain."
"That's really good..." Suldak said.
"Over there is the world of the weak and the strong. It's very pure. If you are weak, you have to live on. When you are strong, you have to annex other weak ones to make yourself stronger. You can't stop for a moment, because once you stop, you don't know who will take the opportunity. Over the past, thinking about it, I really miss the days when I was a nobleman in Hailansa City... Now only by talking with you, these memories will not be erased from my memory, and I can occasionally think of the past." Earl Fornak Said with emotion.
Suldak said apologetically, "Sorry, I haven't been able to invite you to drink tea during this time!"
"If there is anything to apologize for, it's the same sentence. If you need help, just ask." Earl Funak looked at the night outside the tent and said to Suldak with a smile.
