When the sky in the west darkened, the last ray of sunlight disappeared behind the mountains on the horizon. The night descended on the earth, and the sky seemed to be hanging a black war flag. The stars were embellished with the flag, and the crescent moon was the emblem. Tonight, the earth was bleak and filled with killing intent.
Dragon Spear Town was silent. The old people, children, and women had already been arranged to hide in the warehouse behind the town. Even if the men weren't throwers, they were still gathered behind the town wall with swords and iron rods in their hands. Dragon Spear Town lacked everything, but it just so happened that it didn't lack weapons or equipment. Among them, there was no lack of blacksmiths with thick arms. They were not holding swords, but hammers used for forging iron. There was no one in the town, especially in the houses at the entrance. Under the mobilization of Allen and the mayor, the town was fully prepared for battle.
There was no wind on the wall at all. Pyro and Hulk squeezed into the small aisle on the town wall. Their faces were red from the light from the brazier beside them. Braziers like this were scattered all over the town walls, brightly illuminating the wilderness outside the town. Looking around, in the wilderness outside the town, there was a pile of hay here and four or five dry pieces of wood there. They were randomly placed, like a child's game.
Outside the town wall, the warriors of the King Of Mountains stood with their shields in their hands. Under the light of the fire, the bodies of these strong warriors that were like iron towers flickered with oil. They were very quiet, but their auras were boiling like magma under a volcano, waiting for the moment to erupt. In front of them, Allen led the experts to the left and right. In front of them were ten Steel Edge Warriors led by Jertais. After these Steel Warriors left the ground, Allen put on a hooded cloak to conceal them a little. Since the cloak covered most of their bodies, they looked like mysterious warriors hiding in the cloak.
The Inch Fire Archer and the Gao Cang Thrower stood on the town wall together. The Inch Fire Archer had already set up his Fire Fighting Rifle. There weren't many bullets left in the rifle. Now, all the magazines had been evenly distributed to each shooter. Each of the Gao Cang Throwers had seven or eight iron spears and a row of wooden spears. The wooden spears were wrapped in cloth. There were oil cans in front of them, so the air was filled with the smell of kerosene.
"Look at those big guys …" Tucker nudged Pyro beside him with his elbow. The bearded man pouted at the back of the Steel Blade Warrior. "I've never seen such strong warriors."
Pyro agreed with this point. Just the silhouettes of the Steel Warriors gave off an oppressive feeling, especially when these warriors remained silent, which made them seem even more inhuman. Fortunately, these warriors were on Dragon Spear Town's side. If it was the other way around, Pyro felt that the town's three-meter defensive wall could probably be broken by a single charge from these warriors.
Then, strange cries and howls came from the darkness.
Ghostly Shadow Dance!
"He's here." Allen shouted, "Don't panic. The Subterrane Dwellers are not warriors. They are more like wild beasts, just that there are more of them. I'll fight with you, and I swear I won't let those beasts hurt your family until we all lie down. Yes, think of your families, your wives and children. They need protection. Although you are not warriors, but … "
He paused and shouted, "War is a man's duty. Now is the time for us to fulfill our responsibility. We will fight to defend our homeland!"
The roars of the men came from behind the wall. They raised their swords, sticks, and hammers high, their eyes red. The Gaocang people were stubborn and unyielding to begin with, and now, under Allen's encouragement, their morale was even higher. This tribe had never lacked courage, otherwise, they would not have dared to fight against the empire back then.
Even Pyro and Hulk on the defensive wall shouted. After shouting, the bearded man clicked his tongue and said, "Now I like this lord a little."
"He is indeed a little different," Pyro agreed.
Then a wooden arrow shot out from the darkness, but the arrow no longer had any power when it reached the top of the wall. The iron spear in Palo's hand blocked the wooden arrow. Then, in the area outside the town where the light from the fire couldn't reach, figures appeared one after another. The slender Subterrane ran on the ground on both hands and feet like wild beasts. They howled, and even though their eyes were blurred by the flames, it did not hinder their desire for blood and slaughter. This urge urged them forward, like moths pouncing on a fire.
From time to time, Subterrane jumped up and threw stones, or pulled the strings of a simple self-made bow. These things were not powerful enough, but there were enough of them. Immediately, the sound of air being torn apart rang out under the night sky of the small town. The stone and wooden arrows were easily blocked by the Steel Edge Warriors. The warriors of the King Of Mountains raised their shields and landed on the defensive wall. As long as the throwers and archers on the wall bent down, they could easily avoid the attack.
"Don't be nervous. Listen to my orders." Allen looked calmly ahead. The Subterrane running at the front was already clearly visible. Allen could see their malicious eyes and even the wrinkles on their skin.
The Subterrane, who were acting as the vanguard, quickly rushed to the town wall. Lucy, who was also on the defensive wall, pointed forward, and the rose ring flickered. The Steel Edge Warriors, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lit up with two points of light in their helmets. With Jertais in the lead, ten Steel Edge Warriors took a step forward and directly collided with the Subterrane that were pouncing at them. They forcefully knocked them back and crushed a row of their own kind. Then, they raised their swords and slashed down, and a row of blood immediately sprayed out in the wilderness in front of the town!
"Now! Throwers, ignite the fire and shoot freely! "Allen shouted.
Pyro and the others roared in response. They picked up a wooden spear and dipped it into the oil can. Then, they drew a brazier and lit it up. Then, they used all their strength to throw it out of the town. The flaming spear tore through the air, leaving trails of flames in the night sky that scattered into the wilderness outside the town, igniting the dry grass and withered trees. Immediately, there were balls of fire everywhere in the town. The Subterrane Dwellers screamed incessantly, especially those who were right beside the bonfire. The sudden light from the fire blinded their eyes, and they immediately fell into chaos.
"Attack!"
Not only did the fires that lit up everywhere cause chaos to the Subterrane, they also separated them. Taking advantage of this moment, the throwers and Inch Fire Archers on the wall seized the opportunity to attack. Burning wooden spears flew out, continuing to increase the fire on the ground and igniting more vegetation. The line of fire from the Flame Fighting Rifle quickly reaped the lives of the Subterrane Dwellers. Every time a line of fire swept past, rows of Subterrane Dwellers would fall.
At this time, Allen and the warriors in front of the defensive wall remained motionless. He knew very well that the battle had just begun. Just as the Subterrane on the outer wall of the town were about to die, a short and mournful howl sounded in front of him. Allen\'s gaze pierced through the flames and he saw more Subterrane rushing over from the darkness. The first row of Subterrane Dwellers rushed into the battlefield and dispersed. The three of them pounced towards a fire at the same time. Just as they were suppressed, more of their comrades jumped up from behind. They were actually using their own bodies to suppress the flames!
Seeing the flames extinguish one after another, Allen knew that a bitter battle was about to begin.
A Subterrane jumped onto a rock and pointed in the direction of Dragon Spear Town, screaming. Its body was painted with brightly colored totems, and there were even a few necklaces made of Tower Forest gems around its neck. It was obvious that it had a high status among the Subterrane Dwellers. It was commanding its kind to attack when a scream suddenly sounded in the night sky. Amidst this scream that sounded like a devil from hell, the head of the Subterrane Dweller leader suddenly exploded, and the headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.
On the town\'s bell tower, Adele put down her ruthless howl and frowned at the old man who was covering his ears not far away. "Why don\'t you go down?"
The old man dug his ears and waved the bell hammer. "I\'m a man too … even though I\'m old," he shouted.
The girl could only shrug her shoulders. "Whatever you want." Then she began to search for other targets worthy of sniping.
The battle was in full swing.
On the defensive wall, the cang throwers and the Inch Fire Archers concentrated their firepower a hundred meters away from the city wall. The charging Subterrane first had to pass through the test of this firepower net. Often, seven or eight out of ten Subterrane were swept away by bullets or pierced through the chest by wooden spears. Only the lucky ones could break through this net of firepower, and then they were greeted by the ferocious heavy sabers and broad axes of the Steel Edge Warriors.
The Steel Edge Warriors pulled away, and the heavy sabers or giant axes in their hands scattered. The space within three meters of them became a dead land. Flesh and blood splashed everywhere where the warriors were, killing the fish that escaped the net one by one. As the number of Subterrane Dwellers increased, more and more lucky ones passed through the firepower net. The King Of Mountains warriors and infantry behind Allen began to advance. They bypassed the Steel Edge Warriors and faced the Subterrane Dwellers on the left and right flanks.
The King Of Mountains warriors raised their shields and used them to block a round of attacks from the Subterrane Dwellers. Then, they pushed the shields forward and pushed them away. At this time, the infantry would take the opportunity to poke their muskets out from behind the shields and shoot at the Subterrane Dwellers' heads or chests. This kind of coordination was fast and efficient, and the speed at which they killed the Subterrane Dwellers was slightly slower than that of the Steel Edge Warriors.
Pyro shot out another wooden spear, turned around, and shouted at the crowd below, "What are you waiting for? Don't forget that this is our home. Do you want others to protect us? Men of the High Blue race, kill! "
"Kill!"
The town gate opened, and the men of the High Blue race rushed out, brandishing their sabers, swords, staffs, and hammers. They spread out to every corner of the defensive line and assisted Allen's warriors in resisting the Subterrane Dwellers' attack.
But just as the Dark Blade had said, there were countless Subterrane Dwellers. They pounced forward one after another, and the pressure on the defensive line increased.
Regis held the saber in his left hand and the saber in his right. He lowered his center of gravity and looked at Allen. "What are we waiting for?"
"Wait a little longer. Our real enemy isn't the Subterrane Dwellers." Allen gritted his teeth. "The Subterrane Dwellers will not leave Aisha's Tower Forest. Their favorite Tower Forest Gem is there, but they are here now. But they're here now. Believe me, brother, they were driven out. "
Regis was stunned. "Ice Wind?"
"Who else could it be?"
Fares tightened his grip on the black ice in his hand. "But if this goes on, they won't be able to hold on for long."
Under the Subterrane Dwellers' attacks, even though the warriors were brave and fearless, even though the men of the High Blue race were full of fighting spirit, they could not overcome the fact that there were simply too many Subterrane Dwellers. The defensive line was slowly retreating, but with every step they took, a row of Subterrane Dweller corpses would fall.
"I know." Allen nodded. "If the Ice Wind appears later, it will be up to you. I will try to recover and join the battle as soon as possible."
"What are you planning to do?" Lola asked nervously.
