Chapter 696 The Crumbling Kongqing Town (Part 1)
Under two blood moons, in Kongqing Town shrouded in black mist, thick smoke billowed everywhere and flames rose.
However, no matter how fierce the flames were, they couldn't penetrate the dense black mist, just like the soldiers and civilians trapped in the city, struggling in vain.
The whole city is full of death and blood, and there is a mess everywhere.
The former prosperity and bustle are like those flowers that withered under the air of death, leaving only withered roots and rotten leaves, which are still struggling to support.
On the empty streets, one can sometimes see white figures wandering in groups.
Muna's movements, hollow eye sockets, yellowed teeth, or naked bodies covered in mud or in broken armor, just looking at them from a distance makes people feel intimidated.
Especially the bones of those soldiers, dragging their **** weapons and rubbing against the ground, it was extremely ear-piercing like an alternative mourning song, making one's heart tremble.
In certain dark alleys, bone-piercing screams could be heard from time to time.
When everything stopped, brand new necromancer warriors with black mist all over their bodies, led by the old necromancer warriors, swayed out of it and began to look for the next target.
Under the shadows, on the path that the undead warriors walked, one can still clearly see bright red footprints that have not yet dried out, shocking and shocking.
On both sides of the block, the doors of all the houses were closed.
The figures curled up in the corners of the house were either trembling all over, or huddled together, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would be the next target to be attacked.
However, near the important facilities in various places in the city, it is a completely different scene.
Around the treatment center in the south of the city, the sound of fierce and crisp weapon collisions, mixed with shouts of killing and roars, resounded through the sky.
This treatment center is one of the urban infrastructure that Lei Xiao spent a lot of money to build after he took office.
In peacetime, it can be used for daily treatment by urban residents. In wartime, it can be quickly converted into a field hospital to ensure the survival rate of wounded soldiers as much as possible.
At this time, the fortress and watchtower outside the treatment center had already been completely occupied by skeleton soldiers, leaving only the last towering inner wall, which was still blocking the crazy attacks of the undead.
Because of the thick wooden door on the inner wall, it has been burned to ashes in the fire.
Therefore, the remaining heavy infantry had no choice but to block the door with their thick heavy shields, using their flesh and blood to resist the ruthless impact of the skeleton warriors outside the door.
Facing the white opponent with murderous aura and hollow eyes outside the door, these heavy infantrymen gritted their teeth and put their weight on the huge shield in their hands without retreating a step.
This is already the last line of defense. If the opponent is allowed to break through here, the large number of wounded soldiers and innocent people in the treatment center will undoubtedly become the dead souls of the opponent's sharp blade, and then leave their flesh and blood to join the opponent's camp.
At that time, the bad situation in the whole city will be even more difficult to control.
This is something they will never allow to happen.
The city developed by the city lord must not be destroyed by the hands of the undead!
Although the vast majority of these skeleton warriors are wearing the same armor as them, they were the robes who fought with them not long ago, but only smashing these skeleton warriors completely is the best way to comfort the dead robes!
Behind the heavy infantry, all the trainee priests in the treatment center also stood up.
Due to the stalemate in the war, the elite healing forces have been allocated to the four walls.
Therefore, only these interns were left in the treatment center.
Under such a strong death energy, most of them can't even cast the most basic holy light bullets, let alone complex buff spells.
The help that can be provided is undoubtedly extremely limited, so they have to do their best to help the soldiers in front of them recover from their superficial injuries.
"Brothers, for the sake of the city lord, fight to the death and never retreat!"
I saw a middle-aged heavy infantry squadron leader who was commanding, charging against the shield, pushing a skeleton warrior who had just squeezed out of the human wall to the wall, and then being crushed to pieces, roaring.
The silver-white heavy armor on the squadron leader was already stained red by dried blood, his face was blackened by the flames of war, and the battle helmet on his head was lost somewhere.
However, he who was struggling to kill did not notice.
At some point, a lot of skeleton soldiers began to climb up the towering wall.
Among them, the sharp blade in a skeleton soldier's hand was already aimed at the weakest joint of the neck armor on his neck, and then jumped off the high wall.
Just when the skeleton soldier's sharp blade was about to be inserted into the heavy armored captain's neck.
A sharp arrow whizzed past, directly smashing the sternum of the skeleton soldier who jumped down from the sky, and nailed him to the wall.
Not far away, a middle-aged commander with a longbow rushed over from the back door of the treatment center with a group of soldiers, and joined the defensive camp without stopping.
The person who came was one of the four captains of the garrison army in Kongqing Town, and also Lei Xiao's direct subordinate Oss.
Not long ago, Oss, who was in charge of defending the southern wall of Kongqing Town, came here decisively with the remaining garrison soldiers after discovering that the undead had spread all over the city.
He clearly understands that there are thousands of wounded soldiers and civilians here, once they are breached by the undead, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
"Captain Oss!"
Seeing the person coming, the middle-aged heavy infantry squadron leader immediately greeted him, stroked his chest and saluted, "Thank you for your help!"
"Maine, now is not the time to be polite."
I saw Oss's resolute face, already stained red with blood, and said solemnly: "First resist these dead guys."
As soon as Oss's words fell, more skeleton warriors with sharp blades jumped from the high wall and rushed into the inner courtyard of the treatment center while shaking their mandibles.
At this point, the heavy infantry who were originally defending here and the garrison soldiers brought by Oss quickly joined forces, shoulder to shoulder, and immediately fought with Sen Bai's opponents.
On the chaotic battlefield, although the Skeleton Warriors' attacks were very fierce, they were not afraid of pain, and even when their arms were cut off, their fighting power remained undiminished.
However, most of the surviving soldiers in Kongqing Town are experienced veterans, and their cooperation with each other is also very close. In addition, as a Tier 3 powerhouse, Aussie's arrows are not in vain, so he is not at a disadvantage. .
However, as the battle progressed, it didn't take long for the situation to quietly begin to change.
As more and more skeleton soldiers rushed into the inner courtyard of the treatment center, the fallen defenders quickly got up staggeringly and rejoined the battle as enemies.
Under the double blow of the lack of numbers and this weird and tragic scene, the morale of the remaining defending soldiers quickly fell to the bottom.
As a result, more soldiers fell down screaming, and more opponents staggered to their feet.
"Captain Oss, what should we do now?!"
On the **** battlefield, when he saw with his own eyes that Pao Ze, who was fighting side by side just now, had already slashed at him with a sharp blade, the heavy infantry captain Mayne shouted while blocking with a giant shield in embarrassment.
Around him, the remaining defenders and trainee priests, less than a hundred people, were compressed in front of the gate of the treatment center, and all around them were black skeleton warriors!
Under the moonlit night, the white and hollow faces of skeletons looked particularly frightening.
"Fight to the last moment, we will shed the last drop of blood for the lord!"
I saw that under the siege of many skeleton warriors, Oss's leather armor had already been stained red with blood, and the long bow in his hand had been replaced with a long sword for close combat.
Although the Tier 4 high-quality leather armor bestowed by Lei Xiao, Oss survived many times.
But among the surrounding skeleton warriors, many of them were Zeng Paoze who wore extraordinary equipment, and the advantages in equipment had already been suppressed to the minimum.
"For Lord Lord! For Kongqing Town!"
Oss let out a hoarse battle roar from his mouth full of iron smell, and swung a sharp sword, cutting off the two skeleton warriors in front of him with teeth and claws.
"For Lord Lord! For Kongqing Town!"
And the remaining soldiers of the garrison, including Mayne, also gained the last courage from Oss, and swung their swords vigorously towards the nearest opponent.
At this moment, under the continuous high-intensity battles, the consciousness of these garrison soldiers who had already begun to swell has gradually become blurred, and they just waved the sharp blades in their hands mechanically.
However, the figure of a tall and straight young man has always been clearly visible in everyone's minds, and has never faded a bit of color.
This figure is their persistence in fighting so far, and it is also the last glimmer of light in their hearts.
"My lord, I hope you are all well, maybe this subordinate can only accompany you here."
Just when Aussie, who was covered in bruises, was like a candle in the wind, and was about to fall down at any time.
A miracle happened.
"Fiery Truth!"
Hearing a soft shout, the monstrous flames rose into the sky in an instant.
Immediately, many undead warriors who were besieging Oss and others frantically were all involved in it, and then turned into ashes.
However, Orson and the others, who were only one step away from them, were unscathed, which is extremely miraculous.
In the blink of an eye, with the blazing flames sweeping across, in the inner courtyard of the huge treatment center, only Oss and the others were left with bruises all over their bodies.
When the flames dissipated, a group of imposing figures flashed out one after another, standing in front of Oss and the others.
Needless to say, it was Lei Xiao, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Ariel, Randall and others who came here.
And the one who made a strong move just now was naturally Hong Ye, who was a fifth-order powerhouse.
"Lead... Lord Lord!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Aus and the others, who survived the catastrophe, were immediately filled with uncontrollable excitement, and wept with joy.
They never thought that the Lord Lord would actually appear at this time and pull them out of the abyss of death!
"Oss, and Mayne, you've worked hard, so leave it to me for now."
With gentle eyes, Lei Xiao signaled Ye Cang and Fa Xia to come forward for treatment, while smiling and nodding to the two commanders.
"Black fountain!"
"Prayer of the Moon!"
Accompanied by bursts of life force full of warmth rippling out.
Lei Xiao had already galloped out with the rest of the strong men, and began to clean up the other skeleton warriors around.
Not long after, the surroundings of the entire treatment center completely returned to calm.
The time went back not long ago, after Lei Xiao and his party rushed straight into Kongqing Town, which was shrouded in darkness.
The first thing I went to was the granary in the east of the city where Lin was located.
In addition to Lin who was slightly injured, Va Song, another captain of the garrison army in charge of the east wall, also successfully broke out of the encirclement.
As for Xiao En and other pterosaur knights, when the Necromancer Realm happened, they were supplying supplies in Kongqing Town, and they were also involved somewhere in the city.
After that, through simple inquiries and surveys of the surrounding environment, Lei Xiao learned more about it.
The reason why Lin was able to talk to herself was because the east of Kongqing City was a place where the Necromancer Domain was relatively sparse, and it was also an area where there were few Necromancer warriors.
However, the south, north, west, and central areas of the city where they are currently located are all places where the realm of undead is relatively strong.
In other words, the location of the formation eye and the nightmare knight is obviously somewhere in these areas.
"My lord, my subordinates have carefully detected it just now, and this area is not where the formation eye is."
Lei Xiao had just returned to the inner courtyard of the treatment center, and Lina, who had gone to investigate, appeared in front of him.
"So, are there only three areas left in the north of the city, the west of the city, and the center of the city?"
After listening to Lina's report, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Besides, what worries Lei Xiao even more is that there is still no news of the knotweed.
It stands to reason that with Knotweed's rough surface but delicate personality, when something happens in the realm of the dead, he will definitely try his best to report it to himself.
And the reason why he has not heard from him is obviously because he has encountered some kind of predicament.
"There are not many ways to trap a fifth-order powerhouse. It seems that the knotweed may have encountered an unexpected ~ so it couldn't escape in time."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression became more serious.
If the knotweed directly encountered the Nightmare Knight, it would be better, but if it encountered other powerful enemies, the situation would undoubtedly be even worse.
"All in all, the top priority now is to find out the position of the formation as soon as possible."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao immediately told Xue Ya and Fa Xia who was still in treatment: "I will leave this place to you two, and the others continue to follow me."
With the guardianship of two Tier 4 powerhouses, even if there are another batch of undead skeletons, it will be difficult to attack this very important city treatment center, and then add a large number of undead.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to Oss and Mayne again, told them to take good care of their wounds, and then rushed towards the depths of the black mist again.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party, who were chasing after the wind and electricity, to arrive at the central area of the city. What awaited them there was an even worse situation.
