"Dark creatures are chasing us, what should we do next!"
However, reaching the city does not mean safety.
A group of nobles arrived in the city with their subordinates who had managed to escape, and the dark creatures behind them followed them like maggots that laid waste to their bones.
The dense dark creature still made the nobles in the coalition army restless.
"Quickly, find something to block the city gate. Duke Miller, get rid of the Earl's city gate where you are leading some of your men to the rear. You must not let the dark creatures break through!"
When Theodore saw the situation outside the city, he immediately asked Duke Miller to speak out.
"Okay!" Duke Miller didn't say much.
Now everyone in the alliance is in the same boat, so it is necessary to defend the city.
Compared to being in the wild, being blocked by a city wall can make them safer.
"Everyone, please hurry up and lead the soldiers to defend the city wall. There are too many dark creatures now, and we can only temporarily guard the city."
"If we can rely on the city to consume these dark creatures, then we can break through again in a few days!"
"Okay, that's all it can be!"
All the nobles also knew that they could only defend the city and consume the dark creatures, so they immediately led their subordinates to climb the city wall.
At this time, the dark creature finally approached the city wall.
The white skeleton soldiers took the lead in launching the attack, because they could climb through the gaps in the city wall with their sharp fingers.
A group of death knights, hell three-headed dogs and other dark creatures stormed the city gate.
Although the alliance team also sent a large number of people to carry items to block the city wall.
But after all, time is tight, and it is impossible to be half as stable as the intact city gate.
Therefore, all the coalition forces can only send people to guard and defend to the death. If there is a gap, they will fight and block the city gate at the same time.
Suddenly, with the fierce attack of dark creatures, a fierce fighting began on the top of the Duke's city.
The pressure on the alliance teams is very high.
These dark creatures are not afraid of death, and with the presence of several giant dark pythons and the harassment of bloodthirsty bat gargoyles in the sky, even though there are nearly a thousand magicians on the human side, they can only struggle to support themselves.
And this is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is at the Earl's City Gate behind the Duke's City.
Because the count's castle was built halfway up the mountain, the gate and city wall were originally higher than the city.
If you are defending against foreign enemies in a castle, it will definitely be very easy.
But if you want to defend yourself against the enemies in the castle, it will be very difficult.
Because the castle already has a condescending advantage.
When the dark creatures opened the door to the Earl's castle, dense crowds of dark creatures immediately poured out.
Fortunately, Duke Miller and others arrived in time, and after a vigorous fight, they quickly blocked the castle gate with carriages and other debris.
However, blocking the gate does not mean the battle is over. The dark creatures can still easily get down along the castle wall.
Of course, although the attack of the dark creatures was fierce, everyone knew at this moment that they were forced into a desperate situation, so they had the courage to fight without hesitation.
In this way, the Human Alliance was able to basically maintain the front line and did not allow dark creatures to spread in the city.
…
"Admirer of the Abyss, why did you go to such trouble to let these humans break through once, and then set up an ambush halfway, instead of letting all the legions surround the city from the beginning?"
While the human coalition forces were fighting hard against the dark creatures, the Pope had already returned to the castle through the direct road outside the city.
And the dark armored knight was standing beside the Pope at this moment, asking him puzzledly.
"Your Excellency Black Envoy, if we besiege these human races in the city from the beginning, although we can make it impossible for them to escape, it is not possible to break the city immediately,"
"After all, we don't have enough earth essence now. Before this, we couldn't teleport too many dark legions from the abyss at once."
"So, I specially asked them to break out once in order to make them lose some supplies."
"When these humans broke through, they thought we only numbered 70,000 to 80,000 people. They didn't pay attention and brought all the supplies with them."
"But after encountering the ambush, they have lost most of their supplies, so even if they stay in the city, they won't be able to defend it for long."
"They are different from the Abyss Warriors. The Abyss Warriors do not need to eat or drink. They can survive as long as they have death energy."
"But the human race needs to eat and drink every day. With their current supplies, they will be in dire straits within a week at most."
"That's it!" The armored knight nodded upon hearing this.
Although he also has wisdom, he is still a dark creature after all, and he still cannot compare with real humans in terms of planning.
"Abyss Worshiper, then everything goes according to your plan!"
"Okay, Lord Black Envoy, in just one week, I guarantee that these human teams will all die!"
The Pope responded immediately.
His confidence is very strong.
After all, preparations have been made.
First of all, the human team in the city is already running out of supplies and will be in a food shortage situation in a week.
And secondly, the spirits of the earth will continue to be sent these days, allowing them to once again have the ability to teleport large numbers of dark creatures.
…
A group of allied nobles didn't know that the wily Pope had already taken advantage of them.
The battle to defend the city lasted for several hours.
It was not until a few hours later that the attack power of the dark creatures weakened slightly.
In this way, Theodore immediately summoned some noble representatives to start a meeting.
"Everyone, we are now trapped in a tight siege!" Theodore sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.
When the other noble representatives heard this, they were also silent.
Everyone did not expect that today's situation would turn out to be full of twists and turns. Earlier, they thought they had won a big victory, but in the blink of an eye, the entire team was trapped in a tight siege.
"Everyone, what do you think we should do next?"
It was no longer an emergency situation, so Theodore also began to seek opinions from everyone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There are too many dark creatures outside the city, and half of them are death knights, so our best choice at the moment is still to stay in the city."
"Rely on the city wall to weaken and eliminate the number of dark creatures. As long as the number of dark creatures is reduced, then we can try to break through again." Duke Miller expressed his thoughts after hearing this.
"Duke Miller is right. We have just lost at least one-fifth of our manpower. If we continue to rush out now, the loss will definitely be even greater!"
"What Duke Miller and Duke Bree said is right, but I am very worried. I don't know if there will be more such dark creatures. We lost too many supplies when we just returned. Now I am afraid that the supplies in the team can only be eaten.
Less than a week.”
At this time, a noble suddenly interrupted.
And all the nobles fell silent again.
If those supplies were not lost, they would be able to feed them for at least a month.
And one month is enough, whether it is to consume the number of dark creatures or to make the alliance aware of the problem and send reinforcements.
"Everyone, I think there shouldn't be too many such dark creatures. After all, dark creatures need to consume a huge amount of energy if they want to reach our sacred continent from their dark abyss."
"Otherwise, why haven't we seen such dark creatures before? Therefore, as long as we consume all these dark creatures, we will have hope of escaping!"
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Theodore, the president, was somewhat qualified, so he immediately offered words of comfort.
In this situation now, they no longer have the ability to calculate that.
The only thing that can be done is to defend the city and consume as many dark creatures as possible.
Hearing this, all the nobles nodded silently, understanding that it was useless to worry about the current plan.
Woohoo!
But at this moment, the rapid sound of the horn sounded again in everyone's ears.
This shows that the dark creatures have once again launched a large-scale siege.
