Chapter 483 The Dangerous Situation of the Northland Fortress
The temple is indeed somewhat unstoppable.
An ice and snow wolf frantically leaped across the air and rushed towards the paladin in front of him. Facing the wolf that was flying towards him, the paladin swung his sword and split it in two directly from the head. The stinky blood sprinkled on the head, dyeing the original pure white armor bright red.
However, the paladin didn't care about such details right now. He kicked away the corpse next to him, and the long sword in his hand ignited a holy flame again.
"This is not where you monsters should come, go back!!"
Accompanied by the roar, the paladin swung his long sword suddenly, and the white flame of holy light exploded instantly, tearing all the monsters close to him to pieces. But in the next moment, he saw the paladin step back a few steps out of breath, leaning against the wall next to him with his long sword.
"Squeak!!"
And at this moment, a strange bird with a whole body in pitch black screamed and swooped down from the sky, stretching out its sharp claws and pounced on the paladin. But at the same time, a magic missile whizzed across the sky and hit the strange bird hard. The paladin took a deep breath of air, clenched his long sword again and slashed forward, smashing his eyes. The head of the monster was cut under the body.
"call………"
Only then did the paladin take a breath and nodded to the mage next to him.
"thanks."
"You're welcome, this is really troublesome..."
Beside the paladin, a mage was also wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking at the battlefield in front of him with a sad face. Below the city wall, thousands of monsters are madly attacking the fortress. I saw monsters such as frost wolves and iron wild boars whose fur was polluted by magic power crazily hitting the thick city wall, even stepping on the corpses of their companions and leaping towards the city wall. .
"These damn monsters, winter is over, what kind of crazy are they?"
Looking at the beast tide in front of him, the paladin couldn't help but spit, and when he heard his complaint, the mage next to him also smiled wryly. The Northland Fortress has been full of disasters and disasters during this period. Not only was the entire fortress nearly overturned by the monsters during the winter beast tide, but as a result, winter has come and spring has come, and they have not had time to repair the damage that was destroyed by the beast tide. Fortress the city wall, but these bastards came again! !
And their offensive is actually more violent than winter! !
At this time, suddenly, the messenger crystal next to the city wall suddenly shone, and then a heavy voice sounded.
"All mages are ready to cast 'fossils into mud' on the ground in front of them in five seconds, and the Holy Knights are ready to cover! The crystal of order will be opened in ten seconds!"
"what?"
Hearing this order, both the paladin and the mage couldn't help being taken aback. They looked at each other, and they both saw the deep worry in each other's eyes.
"How to do?"
"Anyway, this is an order, act according to the order first, and you will cover me!"
While speaking, the mage raised the staff in his hand high, and then he began to chant loudly. At this moment, the paladin also hurriedly picked up the shield and stood in front of the mage. After a few seconds, the mage who had finished singing raised the staff in his hand and pointed forward.
"Fosmise into mud!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the mages, the originally hard ground in front of the fortress suddenly turned into a bottomless swamp, like a ferocious monster, it began to devour the monsters that fell into its mouth. I saw the corpses of the monsters on the ground and themselves quickly sank into the sand, creating a large restricted area in the blink of an eye in front of the fortress wall and the tide of monsters.
At the same time, the triangular crystal above the fortress wall suddenly emitted a soft and bright beam of light, rushing straight into the sky. Soon, the thick clouds swirled and dispersed, and golden sunlight descended from the sky like a barrier, firmly protecting the entire fortress.
The demonic beasts exposed to the sun began to scream in pain. Their bodies burned like candles in the sunlight, and the demonic crows that had hovered over the fortress screamed and retreated. For a time, the tide of demonic beasts The offensive seems to be completely contained...
"Everyone, go back to the fort to rest immediately!"
Following the order, the paladins and mages who had fought hard on the city wall for a long time also withdrew their tired bodies and returned to the fortress to rest. However, the faces of these people are full of sadness. The reason is very simple. Although they rely on "Symme" to block the attack of Warcraft, the problem is that "Symme" is not unlimited. It can only last for a few hours, and once the time passes, they still have to continue to fight these monsters.
It's just that the current strength in the fortress...whether it can last for such a long time is hard to say.
"Captain! Hasn't the support from the rear arrived yet?"
Hearing the inquiries from his subordinates in front of him, Knight Commander Wells shook his head.
"All the forces that can support the temple and the White Tower in the short term have been dispatched. Although other places are currently being mobilized, it will take some time. However, I have received news from Bishop Karl of the temple. Bian has found a very reliable reinforcement, and their vanguard will arrive soon! All we have to do now is to rest and wait."
"Strong support?"
Hearing the words of Knight Commander Wells, his paladins also looked at each other in blank dismay. These paladins were originally the backbone of guarding the northern fortress. They have been fighting those damn monsters here for a long time. Little is known about things in other places, so it is not clear what the strong support the temple is talking about.
In fact, even the Knight Commander Wells himself is a little dubious about the order of the temple. He is very clear about the situation inside the temple. Frankly speaking, the impact of the monster disaster that broke out last winter on the Northland Fortress huge. After that, the Northland Fortress never recovered, although he also hoped that the temple could send more people to guard the Northland Fortress. But...under the current situation of the temple, they don't have too many manpower to mobilize.
But the temple is full of confidence, which makes Knight Commander Wells a little curious... He is very clear about the current situation of the temple. In terms of reinforcements, the White Tower of Heaven has sent their mage group, but these mages can only assist them in defense, and there is no way to completely drive away these monsters. And according to the meaning of the temple, the reinforcements who came this time seem to be able to solve their problems completely?
"All in all, you go down to rest first, you need to replenish your physical strength during the next period, and mages also need to meditate to recover their spells. If it really doesn't work..."
Having said this, Captain Wells hesitated for a moment.
"Order all soldiers to abandon the front-line fortress and withdraw to the Northland headquarters!"
"what?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard what the Knight Commander of Wells said.
Although the Northland Fortress is a fortress in name, it is not just a simple fortress. It has two gates in total, guarding the front and back of the mountain road respectively. Among them, the fortress wall in the front is the first line of defense, and the back is the headquarters of the Northland Fortress.
During the previous winter beast horde attack, the first line of defense was broken by the Warcraft lord. If Wells and the other two colleagues hadn't tried their best at that time, they might not even be able to keep the northern fortress behind.
But even at that time, everyone did not give up the battle and evacuated directly, because this meant that once the northern fortress itself was breached, the tide of monsters would drive straight in, and by that time, the entire hinterland of the mainland would fall into the claws of chaos.
But now...
Although it was a bit difficult to accept the order of the Knight Commander of Wells, everyone could only accept it. They are also very aware of the current situation. The first line of defense has been severely damaged in the previous wave of monsters, and it has almost lost its defensive function. If you continue to hold on here, you will only lose more people meaninglessly. Instead of this, it is better to abandon this place and gather all the elite troops to invest in the main line of defense, so that we can support for a while... Let's count it for a while...
"Report!!"
At this time, suddenly, an orderly pushed the door and walked in.
"We found an unknown object approaching from behind!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Wells couldn't help but startled.
What happened again?
