The next day, the Machine Tribe launched another attack on Boulder City.
Xu Zhilei's sense of crisis became increasingly intense.
However, Xu Zhilei breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that Marquis Luke had set the date for the decisive battle out of the city in three days.
Maybe I was too nervous in the face of the war.
In three days, everything will become clear.
Xu Zhilei left the guild station and took several guild cadres to the city wall to inspect the combat situation.
On the street, he saw some Northlanders wearing rags, covered in mud, kneeling on the roadside begging.
The northern part of the Wolf Principality is vast and sparsely populated, and its economy is very fragile. It suffered serious losses during the invasion of the mechanical tribe.
A large number of people were displaced, lost their source of livelihood, and flocked to Boulder City to take refuge.
In this city, ordinary people and daily life players who have no fighting ability gradually number in the millions.
All this will gradually improve only after the war ends.
Xu Zhilei climbed onto the city wall, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle was underway.
The attack of the mechanical tribe was more fierce than in the past few days.
A large swarm of mechanical beetles attacked the city wall in mid-air. The crossbowmen needed to shoot more accurately to contain the attack of the flying troops. Mechanical beasts of various shapes roared and climbed up the city wall, fighting fiercely with guild warriors armed with spears and swords.
The battle was so intense that he could not stand alone and had to draw his sword to join the battle.
Something is wrong, so wrong.
Although the battle is fierce and the situation is chaotic, it is meaningless to attack blindly like this. It is impossible to capture this city!
Xu Zhilei suddenly understood where his sense of disobedience came from.
If he were the commander on the opposite side, he would never launch such a meaningless attack!
Suddenly, warning signs rang out in his heart, and a thick shadow emerged from his mind.
It's obvious that the mechanical tribe's fierce attack on Boulder City in the past few days is just a feint attack.
Their real purpose is hidden behind these false offensives!
boom!
Deafening explosions came from the city.
Xu Zhilei was horrified to see the huge space-time gate in the center of the city, burning in the magical flames, slowly falling to the side, and destroying a large number of buildings.
A vice-president ran up the city wall with his face covered in blood and shouted to him: "A group of unidentified soldiers forcibly attacked the space-time gate and destroyed it! Our transmission channels with other cities are interrupted!"
Xu Zhilei felt sick, and the uneasiness in his heart for many days finally became a reality.
As a former professional gamer, Xu Zhilei forced himself to control his mind and calm down his thinking.
Who could have done this?
If the mechanical clan's feint attack is a smoke bomb, and destroying the time and space gate is to prevent foreign aid from entering the city...
The truly terrifying action is yet to come!
Xu Zhilei immediately issued an order: "Notify all players in the city to assemble immediately!"
The vice president hurriedly followed the order and left. Xu Zhilei ran down the city wall, found a frightened war horse, and found Marquis Luke across half the city.
The sturdy king of barbarians has also assembled troops in the city and is giving orders, asking the Government Affairs Department to organize the people in the city to prepare for evacuation.
"Marquis Luke, there are traitors in Boulder City!"
Xu Zhilei stopped his horse in front of Luke and shouted.
Luke's face turned pale as he looked at Xu Zhilei and said, "Since you and I are both here, it's obvious who the traitor is."
As if to verify his statement, shocking news quickly spread throughout the city and rang in the ears of the two leaders.
"Don't go near the eastern city, where the dire wolves are killing civilians!"
"The knights of the Bourne family launched a charge towards the Northland Legion station!"
"Count Jones has let the Machine Race into the city!"
The mechanical tribe and dire wolves ruthlessly slaughtered the unsuspecting people, and hundreds of ordinary people died every minute. The infantry and crossbowmen of Lingding City were ready for the attack early, and rushed onto the streets in strict formation, heading north
The local military camp and the Black Knight Guild's headquarters launched a surprise attack.
Helpless cries, howls before death, and curses for being betrayed by fellow tribesmen resounded in every house and street. Burning fires engulfed several residential areas. People's hopes for victory in the war disappeared.
Facing the cold butcher's knife, they just want to survive this sudden disaster.
Luke issued orders one after another to the officers and political officers in an orderly manner. After completing the orders to organize the defense line in the city and evacuate the people, he did not sit in the rear, but led his personal guards to collect the broken troops and rush towards the defense area where Jones was located.
He had already prepared for the worst.
Xu Zhilei also led the assembled guild troops and followed Luke's troops.
There are 50,000 Northland Legions scattered in the city, and 150,000 players from the Black Knight Guild. The rebel Count Jones they face has 70,000 infantry and crossbowmen, and 8,000 hungry four-legged warriors.
Dire Wolf, at the same time, under the undefended city wall of Count Jones, countless mechanical races are pouring into Boulder City every moment.
Xu Zhilei knew that this was not a fair contest.
The comparison of numbers on paper has lost its meaning. Faced with the rebels who were busy sharpening their swords and luring wolves into the house, the defenders in the city were extremely passive.
In such a severe situation, what he and Luke could do was very limited.
The two counter-insurgency teams passed through half of the city, and their momentum gradually grew. More and more troops joined behind Luke and Xu Zhilei. They passed through two residential areas and a collapsed military camp, and finally saw Dede in a square.
Yang Yang's betrayer.
Jones Burn and his family guards stood in the center of the square, eagerly waiting for Luke's arrival.
Luke strode forward, his extreme anger causing him to fall into an unusual calm. His voice sounded like thunder: "Why? Jones, why do you do this? I will give you a chance to repent and join us to deal with the machine."
Clan! It’s still too late to turn back now!”
Jones took off his bloated aristocratic robes, and the stainless steel battle armor and the gorgeous Wolf Controller clan emblem shone in the sunlight. The old king tore through the disguise and laughed loudly, as if he had become a different person.
"Luke! Can't you see the situation clearly? Both you and Boulder City are doomed! Give up your allegiance to that bastard Ron, the Veronka family is not worthy of ruling the Wolf Principality! Join me, the Smedley family
You can get half of the principality’s territory!”
Luke pulled out the barbarian giant sword and said with firm eyes: "I also doubted whether the new Grand Duke was qualified to rule the Wolf Principality, but it turns out that Grand Duke Ron is a real Wolf King, and you are just a clown.
Jones, let me cut off your head to atone for this hell."
Crash--
A large number of ambushes emerged from the edge of the square, with countless spears and crossbows pointing at Luke and his troops.
Xu Zhilei pulled the reins and roared from behind: "Marquis Luke! Let's evacuate here first! Now the breakout may still be successful!"
Luke and his barbarian troops stood in the square like steel, motionless.
The great lord of the North turned his head slightly, revealing only a side face, and whispered: "Sorry, brother, as a lord, I must stay here to face the enemy with my warriors and people."
"As a vassal of Grand Duke Ron, I must draw my sword against those who break the oath and enforce the laws of the duchy."
"As a brother who has cooperated for a long time, please help me complete another task and lead the remaining soldiers and civilians in the city to break out."
"The soldiers and I will try our best to buy you time."
