North of the Black Rock Fortress, behind the allied army.
The raging flames devoured everything. Supplies, corpses, tents … everything was burned to the ground.
The flames danced, but the knights were expressionless like stone statues.
They had violated the Knight's Creed more times today than they had in their entire lives.
"At the rear of the army, the rearguard has begun to rescue and protect the supply stronghold," Bai Xiaowen said. "Next, the difficulty of destroying the stronghold will gradually increase. Moreover, our situation will become more and more dangerous. When the main force of the allied army returns, the real fierce battle will begin."
"Get on the horses! The next supply stronghold, let's go! "
…
Black Rock Fortress, the main battlefield.
Grand Chief Absolon of the allied army rode on a giant wolf and waved a huge battle axe as he rushed to the city wall.
Boom!
The heavy city gate shook violently as the axe fell.
"Even the specially reinforced city gate can't stop this guy …" The higher-ups of the Human Alliance Army on the city wall were shocked. The city gate was strong enough to withstand the impact of a battering ram, but when Absauron's axe came down, it showed signs of collapsing.
However, before Absolon could swing his axe a second time, dense stones and boiling oil poured down from the city wall. The powerful chief of the Beast Camp had no choice but to retreat a dozen steps to avoid the attack.
At this moment, the city gate opened, and a group of knights rushed out of the city like a storm! The one in the lead was Prince Nicholas!
A shadow of a giant hammer came crashing down. Prince Nicholas had activated Heaven's Hammer. The Wolf Riders around Absauron were smashed into piles of flesh and bones. Only Absauron was able to withstand the damage and was not killed in an instant.
"Are you the prince of the human empire?"
Absolon sneered. "You have some skills, but you're still far from being my match!"
No matter how many elite or leader-level knights were behind Prince Nicholas, Absolon was fearless. He rushed forward with his giant axe and slashed down. While cutting a knight in half, he also left a terrible wound on the second knight.
On the city wall, a ray of light shone down, and the wound on the second knight quickly healed.
The sound of prayers rang out, and a golden light shrouded Prince Nicholas. His strength increased greatly, and he smashed down with his war hammer.
There was a loud bang, and both Nicholas and Absolon were shaken. Both of them received a certain amount of recoil damage.
"Damn it, if you don't have any spells on you, you won't be able to fight against me!" Absauron roared in the language of the Survivors. He waved his giant axe and fought against Nicholas.
However, when Nicholas' HP was depleted, he would receive timely and effective healing, while when Absauron's HP fell, he would not receive effective healing. The knights led by Nicholas surrounded Absolom, thrusting their lances and slashing their swords.
"Roar!" Absauron roared angrily, and a visible blood-colored ripple spread out. More than half of the knights were in a state of dizziness for a long time. Nicholas, Count Denton, and the others who were stronger were also stiff.
Absauron leaped from the wolf's back and swung his axe down.
Nicholas' armor flashed with a blue radiance, and three layers of blue flashing shields opened up! He lifted the hammer with great effort and placed it in front of him.
Clang!
There was a loud bang, and the four hooves of Nicholas' beloved horse suddenly sank into the frozen ground below, and all of them were broken! This attack had actually shaken Nicholas' horse to death, and it had caused quite a lot of shock damage, but it was all offset by the blue shield.
Nicholas was also enraged, and he swung his hammer horizontally, hitting Absauron's giant axe and knocking him back.
Just as the battle at the city gate was fierce, suddenly, a desolate horn sounded from the camp of the Survivors' Coalition Army.
"The signal to retreat?"
Absauron was stunned, and he was both shocked and angry. "Who sent the signal to retreat without my order? I am the commander! "
A bald troll riding a tall Velociraptor leapt over and said loudly, "Chief, more than ten clan leaders have jointly requested a retreat. That's why we blew the retreat signal! You should go back quickly! "
After the signal to retreat sounded, the Survivors' Coalition Army, which was originally under the walls of the Blackrock Fortress, retreated quickly like the tide of the sea.
No matter how brave Absauron was, he did not dare to stay alone. He snorted, patted his mount wolf, and joined the retreat of the army.
Prince Nicholas led the army to attack, but he did not dare to pursue too deep, and he did not dare to leave the range of the defenders.
"It seems that Dior's battle was successful." Count Denton rode over and whispered, "Your Highness, this first siege, we have defended the city."
"That's right, now we just hope that he can get out safely and return to the fortress …" Nicholas said.
…
"Why are we retreating?"
Absauron asked angrily on the way back.
A troll with red hair tied into a thin braid spread out his hands and said, "Chief, we have a problem in the rear … Three supply points have been attacked by humans, and thousands of logistics personnel have died …"
"It's just three supply points, what's the big deal?" Absauron was furious. "If you all followed my charge, we would have killed the human prince and entered Blackrock City! Kaierhan, you and your Bloodspear clan are cowards! "
"Absauron, we are different from you." Another short and stout orc, who looked like an anvil, said in a low voice. "The families of the clan leaders like us are all at the rear of the strongholds, but your family is with us."
"One more thing, if we can't take down Blackrock City and the strongholds are all burned down, what will the warriors eat? Will they fight on empty stomachs? "Another clan leader said.
"That's right, Absauron. Although you are brave, the humans are not all useless. That prince was able to resist your attack … Blackrock City is not that easy to take down. Even if we rush in, there are other powerful humans who will stop us."
"It is said that Kail Mann's army was defeated by an archbishop who could cast a forbidden divine spell. Think about it, if such a terrible forbidden spell were to fall on us in battle … Even with our strength, I think it would be a disaster."
"That's right, let's take our time to attack Blackrock City after cleaning up the rear."
