At this time, the second prince of the Dwarf Empire was standing on the eastern city wall of Loggerland City, looking down at the refugees with a serious face. The second prince, Vensary, was a very kind prince. He usually cared about the livelihood of the people, but now, he had encountered a big problem, which was the large group of refugees below him.
These refugees had all escaped from the east, and the furthest was from Moragan City. Their destination was naturally the main city, Molten City. Under normal circumstances, although Vensary would immediately let them in and provide them with food and a place to rest, the problem now was that he could not.
Before the expedition, his father, who was also King Oli, had already told him that the refugees could not be let in, because this was a conspiracy of the humans. The purpose of the massacre was to drive the refugees to the west. At this time, whether it was the main city or Loggerland City, there was not much food left. If the refugees rushed in, they would definitely riot if they were not given food. If they were given food, there would not be enough soldiers to eat. This was the sinister plot of the humans.
King Oli had already decided that no matter what, he had to stop the human and Undead troops in Loggerland City. Hence, these refugees could not be let in.
It was not easy for them to escape from hell, and now that they saw that Loggerland City was not letting them in, the refugees were naturally in a mess. They kept cursing the guards on the city wall, and listening to the people's curses downstairs, Vensary felt very uncomfortable. If there were any other way, Vensary would, of course, let these people in immediately, but was there any other way? Vensary could not think of any other way.
"Your Highness, this is not the time to be soft-hearted …" A dwarf general walked over and said to Vensary. Looking at his tightly trembling right hand, it was obvious that he was also holding back.
"I know … General Aska …" Vensary nodded. "I know …"
After saying that, Vincesare suddenly took a step forward and stood directly on the city wall. He gathered his combat chi and shouted to the people below, "Everyone, I am Vincesare, the second prince of the Dwarf Empire, the Vengeful One."
"What, His Highness the second prince?"
"Your Highness, please let us in quickly. The human army will be here soon."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I have two children with me."
"Your Highness …"
Wensal's identity only surprised the refugees for a second. Then, everyone immediately began to plead with Wensal, because everyone knew that he was the current supreme commander of the city.
"Silence, everyone." Since his voice was louder and louder, it instantly drowned out all the other noises. "We … We can't let you in now, because this is the human race's conspiracy."
"A conspiracy of the Human Race?" The people below were slightly surprised, but soon someone shouted, "Your Highness, we don't care about any conspiracy, we just want to live. Please let us in."
"Yes, Your Highness, we just want to live. Please let us in."
"Your Royal Highness!"
In an instant, the scene became chaotic. Wensalei couldn't control the situation at all, because the group of people was too panicked.
"Listen to me, everyone!" Vensal shouted again. "We can't open the gate! I can't change this. If you want to live, you can go south from here. I think you can go around to the back. "
"The south is full of barren mountains and hills. How can we go over there?"
"Yes, my grandfather is almost 290 years old. He won't be able to survive such a long journey," one of the civilians immediately shouted.
"This is the only way to survive!" Wensalei suddenly shouted. "Our kingdom is going through a huge crisis now. If this place is breached, our main city will be completely defenseless against the attack of the Human race and the Undead. So now, I can't save you … Please, run for your lives."
"Your Highness, are you giving up on us?" one of the people below shouted.
"Is that so?" Everyone looked at Wensalei, hoping that he would say no. He was their only hope now, but it was a pity. Looking at the pairs of eyes looking at him with hope, Wensalei clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he sighed and nodded slightly.
In an instant, everyone's hopes were dashed. At this time, no one was debating whether to enter the city or not, because they had given up on them. The King had given up on them … One by one, the Dwarven commoners slowly turned towards the south and began to move in that direction, like the walking dead.
At this moment, the sound of a cannon suddenly rang out. Everyone was startled and immediately looked towards the source of the sound. However, because there were too many people, they couldn't see what was happening behind them. Immediately, they heard the shouts of the people standing behind them.
"It's … it's the Human race. They're coming!"
"The enemy is coming!"
In an instant, the people below were in a mess. Of course, their first reaction was to run, but the problem was that they didn't know where to run. Behind them was Loggerland City, and they were not allowed to enter.
"Prepare … prepare to fight the enemy." Wensalei, who was standing on the city wall, could see clearly that a row of black, flowing things were coming towards them from the horizon. He was someone who had been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew that those were the enemy's troops. To be honest, he had never seen so many troops charging at them at the same time. It was too scary.
"Fight the enemy?" General Aska, who was next to him, came up and said, "Your Highness, how are we going to fight the enemy?"
Wensalei was stunned at first, but then he suddenly realized that they had no way to fight the enemy. First of all, they could not rush out of the city. Generally speaking, they should be defending from the city wall with long-range attacks. But now, the people below the city wall were all their own people. How could they open fire? So, they had no way to fight the enemy at all.
"Do … Do we … Do we just watch our people get slaughtered by the Human army? There's nothing we can do?" Wensalei suddenly said.
"Your Highness …" Aska lowered his head helplessly. "There's nothing we can do … The scene behind us is too cruel. Your Highness, please go in and take a rest."
"No … General Aska, please let me stay here. I will remember this moment. I will remember … every minute, every second …" Wensalei said through gritted teeth. The look in his eyes had changed. At this time, there was only anger in his eyes.
The Human army and the Undead army swarmed in from all directions, completely surrounding the hundreds of thousands of civilians. To be honest, in terms of numbers, the number of civilians was a few times greater than the number of soldiers. However, ordinary civilians could not fight against the soldiers, especially when they were led by Li Huailin. The War God's halo alone increased all attributes by 45%. The civilians wanted to resist, but as soon as the two sides came into contact with each other, the civilians instantly collapsed. They could not even hold on for a second.
"Help, these guys are simply devils!" Needless to say, when the civilians saw this situation, they immediately wanted to run, but there was nowhere to run. In front of them was the ferocious Human army and Undead army, and behind them was the city wall. Although these people desperately squeezed to the back, in the end, the people behind them were trampled to death. There was still no way for them to escape.
"Everyone, break the gate open!" Suddenly, a dwarf shouted.
To be honest, the gate of Rogland City was too sturdy. It was made of large wooden planks that were tens of centimeters thick, and the front and back were covered with iron plates. Just the weight alone was dozens of tons. Even a siege engine might not be able to break it open. However, at this time, the people below had no way out. Since there was only a sliver of hope, they would fight with all their might. At this time, it did not matter whether the gate could be broken open or not. In any case, they had to break it first. Therefore, a large group of dwarves immediately began to smash the gate.
Hearing this shout, the dwarves who thought that they had nowhere else to run seemed to have found a target. As long as they pushed the gate open, they would still have a chance of survival. Therefore, more and more dwarves began to squeeze in the direction of the gate, trying to push it open.
Although the gate was very sturdy, there were too many people pushing it. With the increase in the number of people, the gate actually began to creak and shake a little.
"Your Highness, we can't let the human army break in," General Aska immediately shouted.
"I … I know." Looking at the people who were desperately pushing the gates, Vensare gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He was going to be the one who destroyed their hopes again. However, there was really no other way. "Inform the soldiers to hold the gate. We must hold it."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Askar immediately went to give the order.
Soon, the dwarven soldiers behind the gate carried large wooden pillars and held the gate. Hearing the continuous banging and crying outside the gate, the soldiers' hearts were filled with grief and anger. However, they also knew that there was only one way …
In the end, the gate was still held. No one pushed it open, and the crying and crying at the gate gradually disappeared. The entire outside of the gate was covered by the dwarven corpses.
Vensary stood on the city wall, his eyes bloodshot as he looked down at the dwarven corpses that almost covered the floor, and the human and Undead soldiers who were still cleaning up the remaining survivors.
"Sigh, it's a pity that they didn't break through the gate." Just then, a voice reached Vensary's ears. Vensary turned around and saw a human in his twenties standing not far from the gate. Vensary looked at him and saw that he was surrounded by several people dressed like knights and generals. It was obvious that he was a high-ranking official. Then, he immediately noticed the big black flag in the hands of the flagbearer behind him.
"Duke of Aquitaine!" Vensary roared.
"Oh, hello." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Surprisingly, you did a good job. They really didn't open the gate. This is going to be a little troublesome."
