On the third day after Reina and the others left, after encountering the mysterious rock dragon, they accidentally fell into the valley, which delayed them quite a bit. There were still four days left before the magic array would lose its effect, and Zeba had no way of knowing their situation.
He paced back and forth in the center of the city beside the magic array. When there were no enemies, he would often come here and think while waiting. The ground around the magic array had been covered with stones, and now it was like a small jar. There were also guards on standby all day.
The guards were not standing straight around it, but covered with blankets and resting on boxes next to the braziers. There were many people like them, and this scene could be seen everywhere in Little Rock Canyon. Even on the city wall, the soldiers crossed their arms and leaned against the wall, resting with their helmets over their eyes. Only some people stood at their posts, looking around vigilantly.
At that moment, the horn sounded again, and the long whine woke many people from their sleep. They got up at once and rushed to the city wall with tired faces. The battle had begun again. Zeba had already forgotten how many battles it had been. Regardless of whether it was day or night, the evil spirits continued to invade.
Zeba walked up the cold city wall again. He saw that the people carrying the ammunition had tired and unwilling faces, and even the soldiers were listless. Only half of the elves were there, and the other half had gone somewhere.
The sound of cannon fire sounded again, and each shot was like a heavy hammer hitting Zeba's heart.
In less than half an hour, everything was calm again, and the black smoke was blown away by the cold wind. There were still dead people wriggling in the wilderness outside the city wall, but no one cared about them. There was no joy of victory. The first thing everyone did was to quickly find a place to sit down, close their eyes, and rest well.
They were tired, and no one could sleep well. Most importantly, they did not have enough manpower. The city wall was still standing, mainly relying on the northern warriors left behind by Baron. They had steel-like willpower and obeyed orders, but they were not made of iron. If this continued, they would also collapse.
For this reason, Zeba could only pray that Reina could quickly teleport them out.
At this moment, Reina and the others were walking along the precipitous mountain walls in the distance, passing through the mountains bit by bit. The gales in the canyon were incessant, and the fierce cold wind made it hard for them to open their eyes. The most frightening thing was that in this high place, their foothold was less than the size of ten fists. The slightest mistake would cause them to fall into the abyss.
The journey was full of hardships, but when they saw an exciting light, they felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
"We're here!"
Walking towards the light, his field of vision instantly widened. The mountains on both sides parted like a trumpet. Walking out of the canyon, everything became different.
This side of the mountain was actually much warmer, and there were also green plants, which was completely different from the other side. However, when they looked into the distance along the hillside, they saw a scene that made their scalps tingle. The flat land between the mountains and rivers was actually filled with Evil Spirits. They were so densely packed that even the color of the ground could not be seen.
Such a huge Evil Spirit army was all rushing towards a city, and under the high city walls of that city, there was already a pile of Evil Spirits more than ten meters high.
Seeing this scene, everyone's heart thumped. They all understood that in the face of such numbers, no matter how powerful the battle strategy was, it would be meaningless. Even if they transported the resources there, it would be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood, and it would not be able to change the situation.
Failure was already a foregone conclusion, and the result would only be an increase of more than a hundred thousand Evil Spirits.
"That's our capital, Wild Lion City."
Baron looked into the distance and said to Reina in a calm tone.
Linnai seemed to have sensed his despair. Looking at the frightening number of enemies, she also felt a sense of despair.
"We're finally here."
She replied.
"Yes, yes … But, what can we do?"
Baron's aged voice made people realize that he was already an old man over sixty years old.
His subordinates also lowered their heads. They were not afraid of danger and crossed the mountains in order to save their own people. But now, they realized that they might not be able to do anything.
"Follow the plan and deliver the resources."
"What's the use of that? Once the enemy climbs over the city walls, we will completely lose this war."
"The situation is bad, but it's not hopeless."
Reina said.
"To be honest, I can't see any hope. Even if we have the help of that dragon, we can't defeat so many enemies. They outnumber us by more than a hundred times! This is not a war, but a natural disaster! We're finished. God has abandoned us. "
The old orc lowered his head.
"The only thing that can save us has always been us and the beliefs in our hearts. I believe that there is still hope. With so many Evil Spirits, someone must be manipulating the situation. There is only one way to win, and that is to find and defeat it. And it definitely won't think that we have those secret weapons. I have a plan. "
The old orc raised his head again and looked at this brave human.
"What plan?"
"We will sneak into the enemy and assassinate their leader. As long as the leader is dead, the rest of the Evil Spirits will be scattered."
