Čepes couldn't figure out what Griffon wanted to do by coming to him. If you want to say something, just say it. Who knows what you want to say with your eyes?
Fortunately, Griffon seemed to be fine.
Otherwise, Čepes might think he was crazy.
From Griffon's point of view, it was different. Griffon felt that he had perfectly expressed what he wanted to express in his heart with handsome and cool acting skills and the coldest way in the world. Especially the wisdom and depth that had long seen through everything, like the first ray of light breaking through the sky, in the misty mixture of reality and art, completely showed the contradictions and conflicts of thinking of the multi-faceted personality. Especially before leaving, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed, which was full of the helplessness and criticism of postmodernism …
When Griffon came back.
He proudly looked at the stunned Don Quixote and the others, "Don't be like this, I know you are very jealous of me, but acting requires a little bit of talent!"
Don Quixote and the others reacted as if they had just woken up from a dream and applauded loudly, "Good acting, we can't help but say we admire you!"
"I never thought that Griffin had reached the realm of acting with your eyes!"
"Yes, yes, Hollywood's best actor is only worthy of carrying Griffin's shoes!"
"I'm so touched!"
"Griffin, you are so awesome, can we still pick up soap together in the future?"
The Shadow Warriors of the Dark Shadow Temple used their best eloquence to comment on Griffon's performance just now, but they couldn't find any better words to praise him except the word "masterful performance". Fox and Enoko Kazama hid behind Lin Dong and snickered. Although they didn't want to comment on Mr. Griffon's amazing acting skills, it was a fact that he succeeded in confusing Čepes.
Even now, Tserpesh on the other side was still confused.
Perhaps this was the reason why Lin Dong gave Griffon the "important task of maintaining the peace of the earth"! To be honest, except for him, no one here could successfully confuse the paranoid Čepes.
Outside the camp, under the high wall.
The beast horde was like a tidal wave.
They did not attack immediately after hearing the sound of the horn. Instead, they quickly circled around the city.
This kind of battle strategy was unique to the Purgatory. Because the cities in the Purgatory were not easy to attack, the beast hordes or armies that came to attack would usually use a tactic to tire out the enemy! They would circle around the city and harass it continuously until the enemy was exhausted and unable to keep up with the defense. Then, they would attack the weak points of the defense.
The defense was definitely passive, and the manpower mobilization was definitely not as good as the periphery.
The Inhuman guards also formed a mobile rescue team and quickly ran along the inside of the high walls to prevent the beasts from attacking a certain defenseless point in the camp.
"Isn't this too passive?" Phillip saw this and felt that it was unreasonable. Why did they have to run with the enemy? Why did they fall for it even though they knew it was a tactic to tire them out? Wouldn't it be better to stay and wait for the enemy to exhaust himself?
"This won't do. If there's no one to defend them, they'll reach the top of the wall in less than a minute. They'll ride on the backs of the beasts to look for weak points. If we don't keep up with them, they'll quickly approach the high wall and climb up the back of the beasts. As long as they occupy a section of the wall, it'll be difficult for us to chase them down again! In the Purgatory, there are only three ways to overcome this. One is to build a high wall with a wide moat. Two is to station more soldiers and secretly ambush them in the section of the wall. Then, by pretending to be weak, they'll ambush the enemy instead. Three is to have a strong aerial force to attack from the air and destroy the enemy's intention to attack! Our camp does not meet any of these three criteria. So, if we don't run, they'll immediately rush up and we'll have to fight for the top of the wall or even the final battle! " Čepes waved his hand helplessly, indicating that it was inevitable to be passive and that it would only get worse.
"Why aren't we retreating? Isn't it better to hurry and leave? "Heavy Knight Andre was a little puzzled.
"The traveling merchants and hunters have just entered the tunnel. We have to cover for them. Otherwise, they won't be able to escape. We have to hold on until night time. It'll be best if we defeat the enemy a few times and then escape under the cover of the night! "Čepes already had a plan.
"In that case, will the last person be able to ensure his safety?" Arius asked.
"We've also dug a secret tunnel using the crack in the ground. It's very secretive. Other than us locals, no one else knows about it. That secret tunnel leads to the Stone Forest 50 kilometers away. Because of the plaza's secret tunnel, I'll shut down the mechanism after all of us enter the second secret tunnel. Then, Valentine outside the city will only think that we left through the first secret tunnel in the plaza. By the time they fail to catch up with us, we'll have already safely retreated to the Stone Forest. If it really doesn't work, we can still hide under the Stone Forest for a period of time. There's plenty of food and water prepared there. If it's a thousand people, we won't have to worry about running out of supplies for two to three months. " Čepes indicated that their retreat was very stable. As long as everyone defended the first few waves of probing attacks, it wouldn't be a problem for everyone to retreat when the time came.
The beast horde circled around three times.
The guards of the camp were already tired.
Fortunately, with the threat of death hanging over their heads, they could still barely hold on.
Captain Valentine of the Castellan's personal guards, who had been riding on the empty space in front of the entrance of the camp, suddenly raised his hand.
The personal guards who had been standing still like statues immediately drove away the beast horde around them and charged toward the entrance of the camp. Almost a thousand elite soldiers spread their wings like a giant bird spreading its wings. They rode to the sides and mixed in with the beast horde, quietly surrounding the camp.
Before they even got close.
They nocked their arrows and shot a wave of arrows at the high wall.
"Be careful!" The Inhuman guards were very experienced. They hid under the high wall and raised their shields to defend against the dense rain of arrows. The mercenaries of the exploration team didn't have that many shields. They could only hide in the sentry towers, under the wooden sheds, or other buildings in the palace. Only a few leaders like Reynold and Thomas could ignore the projectiles.
"Ah, ah ah!"
Even though they were on guard, the cries of pain from being hit still rang out.
There were even some unlucky ones who were shot and died, becoming the first wave of victims in this siege.
Several waves of arrows were shot at them.
The guards and mercenaries couldn't even raise their heads.
The black horde of beasts had already rushed under the high wall. Many of the giant beasts with bodies comparable to elephants slammed into the high wall. The wooden stakes that blocked them were only effective in a few cases. Most of them couldn't penetrate their skin that was as thick as iron. The thorny trees that blocked the way were all broken. The high wall that lost its first layer of protection was hit by the giant beasts one after another.
The entire defense line of the high wall was on the verge of collapse. The seemingly sturdy rock wall almost collapsed in front of the brutal power of the giant beasts.
"Fire oil, quickly force them back!" Čepes quickly ordered the guards.
However.
When the guards came out of their cover, there was already a creature that looked like an ape on top of the wall.
"Ancient Jaw Beasts! Damn it! Drive them down!" York the Wild Boar screamed. He picked up his axe and rushed at the giant ape monsters. But the giant ape monsters were surprisingly agile. They jumped from the horde of beasts to the top of the wall and occupied the wall in groups. They even joined forces to attack the guard towers and the Inhuman guards who came to support them.
The giant ape monsters called the Ancient Jaw Beasts were strong and agile. When they fought, the local guards couldn't take advantage of them, let alone the mercenaries in the exploration team.
Fortunately, there were many strong men guarding the city.
Andre the Heavy Knight, Gerrard and Nice the Monster were together.
Powell the Great White Shark, Duque the Quick Gunner, and Arius the Standard-Bearer were not far away.
On the other side, Griffon, Don Quixote, and Panza and other warmongers also took the initiative to attack. They punched and kicked the giant ape monsters that rushed at them and drove them under the high wall like ducks. Seeing that the giant ape monsters couldn't make any progress, the elite soldiers outside drove up a group of unknown beasts the size of a wolf dog. They had strong jumping ability, agile movements, sharp teeth and claws, and with their crazy personalities, the defense of the camp was once again in danger.
"Fire at the horde of beasts!" Thomas frowned. It seemed that they couldn't retreat without some trump cards.
Flamethrowers, simple and effective.
The power of burning.
The big and small monsters on the top of the wall scrambled to avoid them, even the big ones that hit the wall below were no exception.
However, the elite soldiers of City Lord Ozi were not incompetent. They immediately launched sneak attacks with bows and arrows, suppressing the mercenaries who were using flamethrowers. Although the Inhuman guards raised their shields to protect themselves, the flamethrowers were defenseless. Under the accurate shooting, they still suffered heavy losses. The suppression of the arrows didn't even last a minute, but three people were killed and five were seriously injured.
As soon as the burning power of the flames dissipated, the big and small monsters attacked the top of the wall again.
In the chaos, a particularly tall giant ape monster successfully broke through the joint defense line of the Dark Palace and the Eastern European Grand Alliance. It jumped up and down, making use of the terrain to nimbly avoid the heavy interceptions of the Shadow Warriors. Finally, it went straight for Lin Dong, who had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning of the battle.
"Bastard!" Griffon wanted to turn around and rescue him, but he was held back by the two wolf-like monsters and couldn't do anything else.
"Roar!" The huge red-haired giant ape monster with intelligent eyes roared like thunder. It pounded its chest with its fists, as if trying to increase its morale. The moment it rushed towards Lin Dong, it spread its arms, intending to forcibly grab the tiny Lin Dong in front of it and strangle him to death. Then, it tore off his head and swallowed it.
"So ugly!" Lin Dong only had four words to comment.
The captain of the personal guards, Valentine, who was under the high wall, had been maintaining an indifferent expression.
Until he saw Lin Dong's sword appear.
The sword light flashed.
No one could see it clearly. Even those who were watching closely could only see a lightning-like light flashing between heaven and earth.
Then, the red-haired giant ape monster, which was more than twice the size of a human.
It was inexplicably split into two.
From head to toe.
When the two halves of the red-haired giant ape monster fell out of the high wall and towards the camp, its eyes were still filled with confusion. It couldn't understand why, but this mystery would become its eternal existence!
"…" The captain of the personal guards, Valentine, who was outside the high wall, was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly raised his hand, signaling the first wave of attack to stop.
The elite soldiers' horn sounded.
Ang ang ang!
The big and small monsters, who had already attacked the high wall and were fighting for control, immediately fled towards the bottom of the high wall in chaos when they heard the horn.
Lin Dong's peerlessly mighty sword strike had inadvertently become the deciding factor in this battle, and it had also become the final point of the entire battle.
