Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1072: Home Defense Line

When the sky to the west dimmed, the last ray of sunlight disappeared behind the mountains on the horizon. Night descended on the earth. The sky was like a black war flag. The stars were the embellishment of the flag, and the crescent moon was the emblem. Tonight, the earth was bleak, and killing intent filled the air.

Dragon Spear Town was completely silent. The old man, children, and women had already been arranged to hide in the warehouse behind the town. Even if the men weren't shooters, they would still gather behind the wall with swords and iron rods in their hands. Dragon Spear Town lacked everything, and just so happened not to lack weapons and equipment. Among them, there were some blacksmiths with thick arms. They were not holding swords, but hammers for blacksmithing. There were no houses in the town, especially at the entrance. Under the mobilization of Alan and the mayor, the town had already made sufficient preparations for the battle.

There was no wind at the end of the wall. Pyro and Hulk squeezed into the small aisle on the town wall. Their faces were flushed red by the light in the brazier beside them. A brazier like this covered the entire town wall, illuminating the wilderness outside the town. Looking around, there was a pile of hay in the wilderness outside the town. There were four or five pieces of dry wood that were randomly arranged, like a playboy's game.

Outside the wall, the Mountain King Warriors stood with their shields. Under the flames, the bodies of these tower-like strong warriors flickered with grease. They were very quiet, but their auras were boiling like magma beneath the volcano, waiting for the moment of eruption. In front of them, the experts led by Allen lined up to the left and right. In front of them were ten Iron Sharp Warriors led by Jartes. After these steel warriors left the underground, Alan put on a hood to cover them up. Because the cloak covered most of their bodies, they looked like mysterious warriors hiding in the cloak.

The Inch Fire Shooter and the Gao Cang shooter stood on the town wall together. The Inch Fire Shooter had already set up his Flame Fighting Rifle. There weren't many bullets left on the rifle. Now, all the magazines had been spread out and distributed to each shooter's hands. The Gao Cang shooters each had seven or eight iron spears and a row of wooden spears. The wooden spears were wrapped in strips of cloth. There were tanks in front of them, so the air smelled of kerosene.

'"Look at those big guys" Tucker elbowed Pyro, who was standing beside him. "I've never seen such a strong warrior before," the bearded man nodded at the back of the Iron Sharp Warrior.

Pyro agreed with this point. Just a single figure of the Iron Sharp Warrior seemed to be extremely oppressive, especially when these warriors were silent and inhumane. Fortunately, these warriors stood on this side of Dragon Spear Town. If they were on the opposite side, Petrov felt that the three-meter-tall defensive wall of the town was probably a charge from these warriors.

Then, strange cries and roars began to come from the darkness.

Ghost shadows!

"Coming." Alan shouted, "Don't panic. Neanderthals aren't warriors. They're more like wild beasts, but there are more of them." I will fight with you. I swear that unless we all lie down, we won't let those wild beasts hurt your families. Yes, think of your family, your wives and your children. They need protection. Although you are not warriors, but … "

He paused for a moment and shouted, "War is a man's duty. Now is the time for us to fulfill our responsibilities. We are fighting to defend our homeland!"

Behind the wall came the roars of the men, their swords, sticks, and hammers raised high, their eyes red. The Gao Cang had always been stubborn and stubborn. Now, under Alan's encouragement, their morale was even higher. This tribe had never lacked courage. Otherwise, they would not have dared to fight against the empire back then.

Even Pyro and Hulk roared on the wall. After that, Big Beard clicked his tongue and said, "Now I like this lord a little."

"He is indeed somewhat different." Pyro agreed.

Then, a wooden arrow shot out from the darkness, but the arrow no longer had any power when it hit the wall. Pyro blocked the wooden arrow with the iron spear in his hand, and then he saw figures appearing outside the town. The slender Neanderthals rushed over like wild beasts with their hands and feet. They howled, and even though their eyes were blurred by the flames, they did not hinder their desire for blood and slaughter. The impulse urged them forward like moths pouncing on a fire.

Occasionally, cavemen would jump up and throw stones, or pull simple bowstrings of their own. These things weren't powerful enough, but they were more powerful than enough. Immediately, the sound of the sky breaking under the night sky of the small town rang out loudly. The catapults were easily blocked by the Iron Sharp Warriors, while the Mountain King Warriors raised their shields and landed on the wall. The shooters and shooters on the wall could easily dodge the attack as long as they bent down.

"Don't be nervous. Follow my orders." Alan looked ahead calmly. The cavemen who were running at the front could already be clearly seen. Alan could see their malicious eyes and even wrinkles on their skin.

The cavemen, who were at the vanguard, quickly rushed under the wall. Lucy, who was also on the wall, extended her finger and the rose rings flickered. Two dots of light suddenly lit up in the helmets of the Steel Sharp Warriors who had been silent for a long time. With Jeltez as the leader, the ten Steel Sharp Warriors took a step forward and directly collided with the cavemen who had pounced on them. They forcefully knocked them back, overwhelming a row of their kind. Then, he raised his sword and slashed it down, causing a row of blood to spurt out from the wilderness in front of him!

"Now is the time! Gunner, ignite the fire and spread out freely!" Alan shouted.

Petrov and the others shouted in response, picking up a wooden spear and dipping it into the oil tank. Then, they slashed across the brazier to ignite it, and then used their full strength to throw it out of the town. The musket pierced through the sky, drawing flame tails under the night sky and scattering them on the outskirts of the town. It lit up the dried grass and withered trees and immediately suppressed the fire balls everywhere. Neanderthals screamed incessantly, especially those who were right beside the fire. The sudden flames made their eyes unable to see, and they immediately turned into a mess. josei

"Attack!"

The fires that lit up everywhere not only caused chaos to the Neanderthals, but also split them apart. At this time, the catapults and inch-fire archers on the wall seized the opportunity to attack. One by one, burning wooden spears flew out, continuing to increase the intensity of the fire on the ground, igniting more vegetation. The fiery threads of the Fierce Fire Rifle quickly harvested the lives of the Neanderthals. Every time the threads swept past, rows of Neanderthals would fall.

At this time, Ellen and the soldiers in front of the wall remained motionless. He knew very well that the battle had only just begun. Just as the cave dwellers near the town wall were about to die, a short and mournful howl sounded in front of them. Alan's gaze pierced through the flames and saw more Neanderthals rushing over from the darkness. The first row of Neanderthals shouted as they charged into the battlefield and dispersed. The three of them pounced on a fire at the same time. Just as they suppressed the fire, their comrades jumped up again and again. They actually used their own bodies to suppress the flames!

Allen knew that the bitter battle was about to begin as the fires on the field were extinguished one after another.

A caveman jumped onto a rock and pointed in the direction of Dragon Spear Town, screaming. Its body was painted with brightly colored totems, and there were even a few necklaces made of Tallinn gemstones on its neck. Obviously, its status among Neanderthals was not low. Just as it was directing a similar attack, a sharp howl suddenly sounded in the night sky. Amidst the howls of hell-like devils, the head of the Neanderthal leader suddenly exploded, and the headless corpse slowly fell over.

On the bell tower in the town, Adele put down her wicked howl and looked at the old man who was covering her ears not far away. "Why don't you go down?" She said with a frown.

The old man dug out his ears and waved his small hammer to ring the bell, "I am also a man … even though I am old."

The girl could only shrug her shoulders, "Whatever you want." And then start searching for other targets worth sniping at.

The battle began in full swing.

Gao Cang and Inch Fire Archers concentrated their firepower a hundred meters away from the city wall. The charging Neanderthals first had to go through the test of this net of firepower. Often, seven or eight of the ten Neanderthals would be swept away by bullets or stabbed to death by wooden spears piercing through their chests. Only the lucky ones would be able to charge through this net of fire, and then they would be greeted by the ferocious heavy sabers and wide axes of the Iron Sharp Warriors.

The Iron Sharp Warriors drew a distance, and the heavy sabers or axes in their hands spread out, causing the space within three meters of their bodies to become a dead end. Flesh and blood splashed everywhere the warriors were, slaughtering fish that had escaped the net. As the number of Neanderthals increased, more and more lucky people crossed the firepower net. The Mountain King warriors and infantry behind Allen began to advance. They bypassed the Iron Sharp Warriors and attacked the Neanderthals on the left and right wings.

The Mountain King Warriors raised their shields high and used them to block the cavemen's attack. Then the shield pushed them away, and the infantry took the opportunity to poke out their guns from behind the shield and shoot at the caveman's head or chest. With such a high speed and efficiency, the speed of harvesting cavemen was slower than that of Iron Sharp Warriors.

'"What are you waiting for? Don't forget this is our homeland. Do you want someone to protect us? Kill the men of the Gao Cang Clan!" Pelo shot out another wooden spear and leaned on the wall and shouted at the crowd below, "What are you waiting for? Don't forget this is our homeland. Do you want someone to protect us?"

"Kill!"

The town gate opened, and the Gao Cang male who was brandishing his sword, rod, and hammer rushed out. They scattered to every corner of the line of defense, assisting Allen's warriors in resisting the cavemen's attack.

However, just like what the Dark Blade said, there were countless Neanderthals. As they pounced forward, the pressure on their defenses increased.

'"What are we waiting for?" Regis lowered his center of gravity and looked at Ellen.

"Wait a moment, our true enemy is not the Neanderthals." Alan gritted his teeth and said, "Cavemen will not leave Tallinn Aisha. There are their favorite Tallinn gems. But they are here now. Trust my brother, they were driven out."

Regis was stunned, "Ice Wind?"

"Who else?"

Fares tightened his grip on the black ice, "But if this goes on, they won't be able to stop it for long."

Under the impact of the acupoint adults like a tide, even if the warriors were brave and fearless, even if the men of the Gao Cang Clan had high fighting spirit, they still could not offset the fact that there were too many acupoints. The defensive line was slowly retreating, even though every step he took would result in a row of Neanderthal corpses lying on the ground.

"I know." Allen nodded, "If Ice Wind appears later, it will be up to you. I will try my best to resume participating in the battle as soon as possible."

"What do you want to do?" Laura asked nervously.

"Nothing much, just forcing Ice Wind out." Alan suddenly gave a strange order to the wall, "Stop shooting and let them come over."
