With enough protection from the power of death, even the mountains beside the Thorn Fortress were flattened, but the piece of land was still safe and sound.
"What...what's going on?"
As the smoke slowly cleared away, in the other half of the fortress that was luckily not crushed, the surviving soldiers began to regain their composure.
Everyone looked around blankly at first, looking at the place in front of them that should have been the fortress corridor.
But now it turned into a gray area, and there was no corridor anywhere.
"Ho ho ho, for my lord, kill all the living creatures here, kill!"
"For my lord, kill all living creatures!"
And just when the coalition soldiers in the fortress were at a loss, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the gray ahead.
Following this roar, the coalition forces worked harder to open their eyes and look forward.
Finally, at the next moment, they vaguely saw the gray scene clearly.
It has turned into a dead place.
The reason why the front became so gray just now was because the white dust could not cover up the strong aura of death.
Of course, what frightened everyone more was not the sudden place of death.
After all, the Land of Death itself will slowly disappear as long as there is no replenishment of death energy. What they really fear is the densely packed dark creatures that fill the Land of Death.
"Black...dark creature, enemy attack...enemy attack..."
After a moment's delay, some of the defenders who also had extraordinary courage finally roared out.
Faced with this sudden change, at this moment, he still mustered up the courage to shout and inform other teammates instead of turning around and crying for his father. This is definitely a warrior.
Dang Dang Dang!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Then, the urgent ringing of copper bells came from the thorn fortress, which was still only half of the remaining one, accompanied by the shouts of the guards.
Unfortunately, even a group of soldiers responded, but because there were not enough dangerous points, and the dark creatures came quickly and in large numbers, the other half of the remaining fortress did not last long at all. In less than half an hour, it was destroyed by the dark creatures.
Completely submerged.
In the end, only less than 20,000 to 30,000 people were able to escape from the fortress.
You must know that when the main force of the coalition forces left, this fortress had at least 300,000 troops.
Of course, the fortress coalition forces suffered so many casualties, half of them were wiped out when the dark land fell.
The other half were killed by more than half a million dark creatures.
"Roar, my lord has an order. All slaves do not need to chase the fleeing creatures. They all return to guard this gap and wait for the arrival of my lord's other armies!"
Just as a group of dark creatures were chasing the allied soldiers who had managed to escape, a dark earth dragon suddenly roared.
Although there are many dark creatures on the land this time, there are no bone dragons, so this dark earth dragon has become the strongest.
"Yes, I will obey my Lord's orders!"
Afterwards, these more than half a million dark creatures stopped in place and filled the gaps in the thorn fortress.
…
"It's over now!" At the same time, on a piece of dirt, Nalant looked in the direction of Thorn Fortress and murmured involuntarily.
"Baron Nalant, what's wrong?" Bronze Hammer heard Nalant's words and saw his brows furrowed even more, so he couldn't help asking.
He also saw the piece of land they were flying over earlier. Although he thought it was a bit strange, the piece of land moved away from them after crossing the sky. He felt that this shouldn't be a problem.
But having Nalant show such an expression made the dwarf Bronze Hammer feel nervous for no reason.
"Your Excellency Tongchui, the direction the piece of land was flying to just now is towards the Thorn Fortress!"
"Yes, Baron Nalant, I also remember that over there is the direction of the Thorn Fortress, but this... could it be..." The dwarf Bronze Hammer nodded first, but did not react yet.
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, guessing what Nalant meant.
"Yes, that piece of dark land is probably heading towards the Thorn Fortress, and if nothing else happens, it will hit the Thorn Fortress directly."
"Moreover, just now I saw vague shadows of dark creatures on the dark land."
"If my guess is correct, then if the two are combined, the Fortress of Thorns may not belong to us by then, or it is very likely that the Fortress of Thorns will no longer exist."
Nalant nodded, confirming the dwarf's idea.
"This... this, Baron Nalant, then we can't go back!" The dwarf Bronze Hammer suddenly showed an expression that was uglier than crying.
"Not only is there no way back, but the Holy Alliance no longer has any dangerous levels to defend. By then, dark creatures will be able to sweep through the principalities of the Holy Alliance."
"When they kill enough civilians, they will not only be able to get more troops to supplement, but also generate a strong death energy in the hinterland of the Holy Alliance, allowing them to harvest the entire alliance more powerfully and quickly!"
"Then Baron Nalant, what should we do now?" The dwarf Bronze Hammer couldn't help but trembled when he heard what Nalant said.
If the human race of the Holy Alliance falls as Nalant said, then the catastrophe of the entire continent will be inevitable.
Because the human race is not only the mainstay of the Holy Continent's defense against dark creatures, but also has the largest number of people in the Holy Alliance.
If the dark creatures kill enough creatures, enough death energy will be produced, and then the actions of the dark creatures will not be constrained by the death energy.
Then neither the orcs nor the dwarves can escape.
"Your Excellency Bronze Hammer, with our small number, we won't be of much help to the Thorn Fortress. Now we can only wait and see what happens and find a way to join the main force of the coalition!" Nalant shook his head.
Although his team is powerful, it has magic cannons and magic armored vehicles.
But such a power is fine as a vanguard, but if you go head-to-head with hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dark creatures, you are looking for death.
"Meet with the main force of the coalition!" The dwarf could only nod helplessly after hearing this.
"My lord, my lord, the bees have reported!"
At this moment, Shirley suddenly jogged and found Narant.
"How's it going, Shirley?"
"Sir, our coalition army has appeared near the small town. As you expected, it encountered hundreds of thousands of dark creatures in the rear!"
"They had already started a big battle after the encounter, but just when they were about to successfully break through, the scene of the land flying across the sky just happened. The morale of the coalition forces was greatly reduced, and finally they all retreated to the small town for guard duty."
Little girl Shirley immediately answered truthfully.
After the appearance of the land and the words of the Bone Dragon, not to mention a group of ordinary soldiers, even several kings and leaders fell into despair.
Because if the Fortress of Thorns is lost, even if they succeed in breaking through here, what will happen.
There are still hundreds of thousands of dark creatures waiting for them ahead. They have been exhausted from the long journey for a long time. After several battles, the coalition forces will no longer be able to break through the Thorn Fortress.
Under such negative emotions, the morale of the coalition forces immediately dropped significantly, and the progress of the breakout also stalled.
The dark creatures will not show mercy when your attack weakens, and start beating the coalition team back again and again.
Finally, seeing that it was impossible to break through temporarily, the kings and leaders could only order the coalition troops to retreat towards the small town.
Compared to being surrounded by enemies in this wilderness, at least you don't have to worry about your back when running to a small town, and you can rely on the city walls to fight to the death.
Of course, because the town is too small, hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed, and the entire city was filled to the brim at once.
But given the situation, even the coalition forces had no choice.
"Hey, what should I do? Damn it, it's all your fault, humans. I told you not to go to the place of death." Looking at the densely packed dark creatures outside the city, Prince Budolon, who felt that there was no hope of escape, finally became angry and kept roaring.
filial piety.
"Prince Boudoron, although it is our human race's decision to come to the Land of Death, will we be safe even if we stay in the Thorn Fortress?"
"Perhaps, if we stay in Thorn Fortress, our losses will be even greater!"
Everyone was in a bad mood at this moment. Seeing Boudoron being so unreasonable, the human race didn't look good on him either.
This attack by dark creatures has obviously been planned in detail. No matter whether they go deep into the Land of Death or stay in the Thorn Fortress, they will not be able to escape this disaster.
Even if he stayed in Thorn Fortress, the outcome would probably be even worse.
If that huge piece of land falls, it will probably take away most of the main force of the coalition forces, which will cause even greater losses than the current losses.
Now, although everyone is besieged, at least they are still alive and can survive for a while.
"Prince Budolon, it is useless to say this now. No matter whether you are sincere in resisting the invasion of dark creatures for the human race or not, everyone is now trapped in this city."
To be continued...
