The Mediterranean Fleet achieved a great victory. On the morning of the 21st, the royal city of Rabat was not at peace either.
Under Bai Qi's command, the three expeditionary forces moved out in full force early in the morning, officially launching a fierce attack on Rabat. Their main focus was the northern part of the city.
The only ones left in the satellite city were Ouyang Shuo and his Divine Martial Guards.
Early in the morning, the army moved out in full force, surrounding Rabat City. Whether it was intentional or not, only the eastern side had the least troops and the attack was the weakest.
If one were to observe carefully, they would notice that the total number of troops attacking from all four sides was less than 200,000. This meant that there was still a special force that had yet to enter the battlefield, and it was unknown where Bai Qi had placed it.
Seeing this, the Moroco players defending the city walls wore solemn expressions, but they also felt somewhat excited. The hot-bloodedness that had been building up for the past few days could finally be released.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
The morale of the players was high, and the Moroco Imperial Guards were ready.
An incomparable war immediately began. Naturally, there was a rain of blood, and the glint of blades and shadow of swords. The bitterness of the battle and the fervor of the hot-bloodedness could not be described with words alone.
This battle lasted for more than two hours. Tens of thousands of heroic souls died on the battlefield, some from the expeditionary forces, some from the Moroco players, and some from the Moroco Imperial Guards.
At the foot of the city walls, corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
In the northern suburbs, Bai Qi sat on his warhorse, a solemn expression on his face. Although he had expected this and had made ample preparations, the tenacity of the enemy's defense had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
This battle concerned the survival of the country, and every soldier of the enemy army burst out with 120% of their potential. There was no need for the leading general to urge them, nor was there any need for the commander to boost their morale. The enemy's morale was as high as the clouds from start to finish.
"Truly respectable and fearsome!"
Bai Qi rejoiced, rejoiced that Military Advisor Jia Xu had come up with this vicious plan.
Otherwise, the Dragon Stallion Army would have been prepared to be crippled. Bai Qi raised his head and glanced at the city before him, his eyes resolute and his heart like a boulder.
The battle continued, and at almost every moment, there were players reincarnating in the capital's Reincarnation Hall. They turned into lonely souls and wandered within the dark and gloomy hall.
Because there were too many people who had reincarnated, the enormous hall was densely packed with wandering souls. It was truly terrifying to the extreme, and it was like the underworld of Hades.
At this moment, another person reincarnated in the hall.
This was nothing out of the ordinary, but the identity of this reincarnated person was too unusual. He was the Lord of Tangier, Raigel, who had committed suicide in the Spanish Armada.
Seeing Regis, the surrounding players who had died in battle were all shocked. They asked, "Regis, weren't you with the Spanish Invincible Fleet? Why are you in the Reincarnation Hall?"
"…"
Regill was momentarily speechless.
"Could it be that the Spanish Invincible Fleet has already engaged the Mediterranean Fleet? Aren't you being too careless? You actually died on the ship, "a player complained.
Regill's face was pale. If Lonely Soul still had any expression, he would have said miserably, "The Spanish Invincible Fleet has been defeated by the Mediterranean Fleet and is now fleeing back to the country in a sorry state."
"What did you say?"
The news was so shocking that some people couldn't even react. When they did, their faces were already pale.
Regill said bitterly, "The Spanish Armada won't come. We have no reinforcements left."
"…"
The hall quietened down. Not a sound could be heard.
A gust of chilly wind blew past.
"How could this be?"
The Moroca players couldn't accept such a cruel reality. The world was cruel to Moroca. They had just lost the territory's army, and now they had no reinforcements.
Rabat had really become an isolated city.
The news brought by Regis quickly spread through the forums among the Moroca players.
This time, be it the life players in the city or the combat professional players fighting on the city walls, all of them felt a chill in their hearts.
The chances of winning the national war were getting slimmer.
"Could it be that the heavens really want us to die in Moroca?" The players were indignant.
This indignation and indignation turned into endless hatred and killing intent, slowly spreading. "If that's the case, then let's kill to our heart's content. No matter who dies, it doesn't matter."
The war immediately became white-hot. The players' eyes were bloodshot, and they no longer cared about their own defense. They directly killed the enemies in front of them and became extremely fierce, catching the expeditionary army off guard.
The expeditionary army's offensive slowed down.
Bai Qi's expression did not change at all when he received the news. He knew that this was the enemy's desperate attack, like the final radiance of a dying person. It would not last long, and as long as they could withstand this wave, the enemy would collapse.
Not to mention, the expeditionary army still had a killer move.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi looked up at the sky and saw the scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
"Time's up!" Bai Qi muttered to himself.
As if responding to Bai Qi's words, three loud explosions suddenly came from within Rabat City.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Following the loud explosions, a giant pillar of flames rose into the sky like a mushroom cloud, reaching a height of thirty meters. The rolling flames swept countless frightening heat waves, spreading in all directions at high speed.
In an instant, countless houses were set on fire, falling into a sea of fire. The sea breeze blew, and the fire grew stronger, like fire dragons that were about to devour people.
In an instant, hundreds of people were buried in the sea of fire.
"Not good, the oil depot exploded!"
The people near the oil depot were the first to notice the abnormality, and their faces were filled with fear.
"Quick, put out the fire!"
There was a commotion in the city, and the people took out water basins from their houses, collected water from wells, and sprinkled it on the burning buildings. Unfortunately, the fire was too strong, and it was just a cup of water, unable to extinguish such a huge fire.
"Quick, demolish the nearest house, don't let the fire spread."
Some people suggested ideas, but some people refused, crying and saying, "That's my home, you can't demolish it, you can't demolish it." As they cried, they tried to stop others.
The people next to them became anxious and scolded, "How can you care so much at this time? Even if your house is not demolished, it will be burned by the fire."
The situation escalated, and some people held back the owner of the house, and then some people went to demolish the house.
The scene was chaotic, and at this moment, the imperial guards rushed over, but they had received military orders to recruit the people nearby to carry out the demolition, and set up a quarantine belt, so that the fire could not spread.
In ancient times, there was no fire brigade, so they could only use this stupid method.
The problem was that the fire spread too fast, and before the demolition was finished, the fire had already spread. Some of the people who were demolishing the houses could not escape in time, and were buried in the sea of fire. The scene was extremely tragic.
In a short period of time, the pre-set fire isolation belt was pushed back again and again. At this time, there was a strong wind blowing on the sea, and the fire was burning more and more vigorously.
The people in the city all walked out of their houses and squeezed into the streets, looking at the burning fire from afar with helpless expressions.
"Why did the oil depot suddenly explode?"
Some people discussed.
"Who knows, those guarding the oil depot have probably died in this explosion. There's no point in dwelling on this matter." Someone shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, it's really troubled times. Now that the battle on the city wall is raging, and something like this happened in the city, I hope the soldiers won't be distracted. "
"How can they not be distracted? This fire burned countless houses, and the imperial guards' homes are basically all in the city, so they must be among the houses that were burned. "
"Burning the houses is a small matter, the key is that the people in the houses are gone too. That's more tragic."
The more the people talked, the more depressing the atmosphere became.
Together with the sounds of fighting on the city wall, there was nothing more heart-wrenching than this.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and the flying team of the Great Xia Dynasty finally arrived above Labate City, dropping incendiary bombs.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
At the same time, all the Black Snake Guards in the city were mobilized, setting fire everywhere in the city.
For a moment, the entire city was covered in a sea of fire, and those who did not know would think that they were suddenly in a sea of fire. It was truly despairing.
"How can this be?!"
The people in the city turned pale as they tried to save themselves.
But there were too many points of fire, and the incendiary bombs were still being dropped. Together with the already vigorous fire, the burning became more and more intense, and even the palace was in a sea of fire.
The people on the city wall were also not spared, and they were the main targets of the flying team. The incendiary bombs were ignited in the army, and it affected the morale.
Thick smoke accompanied the fire. One could imagine what kind of thick smoke such a fire would produce. The smoke not only affected the fire fighting, but it also spread faster than the fire in the city.
The streets and residences were swallowed by the thick smoke in the blink of an eye.
The people in the thick smoke had no choice but to flee in panic, no longer in the mood to fight the fire. If he hesitated for even a moment, he would sink into the depths of the thick smoke, unable to differentiate between north and south, and he would immediately be trapped.
In fact, the more they ran into the depths of the smoke, the only fate that awaited them was suffocation.
The fire was merciless, and it was not child's play.
At this point, the difficulty of fighting the fire increased exponentially. The knowledgeable people already knew that this fire could not be extinguished. They muttered to themselves, "The capital is finished!"
"What do we do?" Some people felt helpless.
"What else can we do? Staying in the city will only lead to death. Let's hurry and escape! "
"But there's still a war outside the city."
"So what? We can't just wait to die in the city, right? Even if it's a war, I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty has rules and will not attack us people. Maybe we can escape with our lives? "
"That's right. Let's go, the thick smoke is about to spread."
As they spoke, the people in the city packed up their belongings and rushed toward the nearest city gate. Not only the NPC people, but even the casual and life players in the city knew that once Labate City fell, they would not be able to escape the fate of reincarnation, but they were still unwilling to stay in the city.
Even if they reincarnated, it was better than slowly suffocating in the fire.
This way of dying was truly painful.
In this world, not everyone could die generously.
