Chapter 2443 Reinforcement (Two Chapters in One)

"Boom."

The general defending the city punched out, and the pitch-black bat blocked it with its claws.

This sudden attack directly knocked the pitch-black bat away.

Seizing this opportunity, the general defending the city entangled and launched a series of fierce attacks.

The pitch-black bat kept retreating, counterattacking from time to time.

The two strong men gradually moved away.

Although they were more than ten kilometers away, the loud noises produced by their battle could still be heard by the alien beasts and soldiers in the distance.

...

The fierce fight lasted for several hours, and both sides suffered casualties.

In the current situation, if the pig-headed man was negligent, he would inevitably be broken by the alien beast.

Now every soldier defending the city was very nervous, concentrating on guarding against the possible surprise attack by the alien beast.

The two powerful beings in the sky had fought for so long, and each of them had suffered some injuries.

At this moment, they stared at each other breathlessly, and did not take action for the time being, and took the time to recover their spiritual energy and physical strength.

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead hiding in the cave was relieved when he saw the battle was in a stalemate.

If the alien beasts were coming fiercely, the most likely time for them to break through Zecheng would be to take them by surprise at the beginning.

Once they were in a stalemate, the defenders could use up the abundant supplies to consume the alien beasts and force them to evacuate.

"According to the current situation, there should be no possibility of breaking the city."

"I hope there will be no accidents next."

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead prayed in his heart, and then continued to concentrate on the battlefield of fierce fighting in the distance.

Things developed just as he thought. After the situation on the battlefield of fierce fighting was in a stalemate, the pig-headed man defending the city began to gradually gain an advantage.

The alien beasts showed signs of fatigue and had some budding intentions to retreat. If they continued to maintain for a while, the fierce alien beasts would most likely evacuate.

"Roar..."

A loud voice suddenly sounded in the sky, and the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head after hearing it.

As far as the eye can see, a group of flying dragons come into view.

Seeing these flying dragons, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead showed a surprised expression on his face.

It was the dragoons, a very powerful type of soldier. They were flying from a distance at this time and would join the battle soon.

"So they called for reinforcements!"

"With these dragoons joining the battle, the alien beasts will definitely retreat."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the aggressive dragoons with a smile on his face. At this time, all his worries disappeared.

The black bat fighting with the general defending the city in the sky suddenly turned ugly when he saw the dragoons.

It also knew how much of a blow the dragoons would bring to the alien beasts.

In order to reduce casualties, this powerful alien beast immediately conveyed the order.

The alien beasts that were attacking the city heard the order to retreat, immediately stopped the attack, and then quickly retreated to a distance.

The huge casualties did not break the defensive position of the defenders. The beasts had long thought of retreating. When they received the order to retreat, they fled faster and faster.

However, the dragoons who arrived at the scene did not choose to stop, but chased the fleeing beasts and attacked.

"Should we rush out to help?" A soldier asked his superior beside him.

The difficult defense just now has a turnaround now. The frustration in their hearts is very much wanted to be released. Soldiers stared at the fleeing beasts with red eyes, hoping to get permission to chase.

Unfortunately, the generals who defended the city had told their deputies before leaving that even if the situation turned to their side, they should not send troops to chase the beasts without authorization.

He issued such an order in advance out of caution.

Although it is very satisfying to chase the beasts, it is more important to defend the city wall without any accidents.

"Don't go out of the city to chase."

"Everyone guard your own line of defense."

"Treat the injured."

The order was issued, and the soldiers who wanted to go out of the city to chase the beasts were very disappointed.

Then they put this matter aside for the time being and began to treat their injured companions.

Although this defensive battle was won, many people died and were injured.

Fortunately, a lot of supplies were prepared before, and there were enough medicines for healing. As long as they did not die on the spot, the injured soldiers could survive with the help of medicine.

"Boom."

A loud roar broke out where the city guard general fought with the dark bats. Because the distance was too far, no one knew what happened.

Everyone was still very confident in their strongest man, knowing that although he could not defeat the strong enemy, he would not be defeated.

After a while, the city guard general with multiple wounds and bleeding came back.

He landed on the city wall, and a pig-headed warrior who awakened the healing ability came to him and used the healing ability to heal him.

After the wound was treated, the bleeding stopped immediately. At this time, the deputy general asked, "Sir, has the strange beast left?"

"That guy and I were both injured. Seeing the arrival of the dragoons, the situation could not be reversed, so he left." The city guard said.

The deputy general received a positive answer and smiled.

This fierce battle lasted for several hours and ended in the late night.

There were countless dead beasts outside the city. Looking around, the ground was full of corpses of beasts.

Although the war was over, the defenders won a great victory.

But it was not time to celebrate the victory, because no one could guarantee that the beasts had no other plots.

If the beasts came back, there was a high probability that they would cause new troubles for the defenders.

The defenders in the city systematically cleaned up the dead and treated the wounded, and replenished the consumed supplies to guard against possible attacks again.

The previous rain had subsided, but it started to rain again.

The heavy rain fell from the sky, washing away the dead beasts.

The blood was carried away by the rain and flowed into the lake not far away.

An area near the lakeshore was dyed red by blood, and the smell of blood was very strong.

The beast in the lake hid in the dark and witnessed the whole process of the war. After the war ended, it immediately dived into the water and swam to the depths of the lake.

On a hill near Zecheng, a group of masked people stood on the top of the hill.

The rain falling from the sky was blocked by an invisible barrier half a meter away from these people, and then flowed to the side.

After the battle, the figure wearing a black mask spoke.

"These strange beasts are really useless."

The figure wearing a white mask beside him said with a smile, "Those strange beasts are not well prepared. When the dragoons arrived, their defeat was doomed."

"We originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos after the strange beasts broke through the city gate, and we rushed into the city. Now it is impossible. It's a waste of our time." The figure wearing a black mask said.

"Although the strange beasts did not succeed, this time it also consumed a lot of the defenders' strength.

We will plan some things later, which will reduce a lot of pressure.

In general, the efforts are still effective, and we still have to thank the strange beasts..." The figure wearing a white mask smiled.

The two chatted for a while, then led their men to turn around and leave.

They were the rebels wanted by the local government, and they had been looking for an opportunity to do something big.

Now the strange beasts attacked Zecheng, although they did not succeed, but they also gave them some help.

After that, they will make another plan, which will inevitably cause new and huge harm to Zecheng.

At this moment, the officials who manage Zecheng are unaware of this matter. Their current priority is to guard against the attacks of the beasts again.

At the same time, the heavy rain has not stopped, and some places in the city have been flooded by rain again.

Next, some people must be drawn to drain the flooded places in the city.

…………

"Huh..."

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees are shaking violently in the wind.

Many plants can't stand the destruction, branches and leaves begin to break, and fallen leaves fly everywhere.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the war that ended in the distance, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the bonfire in the cave was extinguished, the cave began to cool down.

At this time, the strong wind outside kept blowing, which accelerated the cooling speed in the cave.

After standing at the entrance of the cave for a while, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt a little cold.

He quickly turned back to the cave, added some wood to the extinguished bonfire, and then lit it.

The orange-red flames ignited, and the dark cave became bright again.

The flames flickered gently, and the shadow of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead fell on the wall, shaking from time to time.

This battle tonight can be said to be a close call. If everyone knew from the beginning that there were dragon cavalry to support, the psychological pressure on the soldiers to resist the monsters should be much less.

As the highest commander of the city defense general, he did not tell his subordinates about the dragon cavalry coming to support. I don’t know what he considered.

After the bonfire was lit, the temperature of the cave rose in an orderly manner.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sat in front of the bonfire. When his body no longer felt cold, he lay down to rest.

The noise caused by this battle tonight was very large, affecting a radius of 100 miles.

Before, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead rested in the cave, and he had to beware of possible dangers.

Now that the battle was over, the possibility of danger in the cave was relatively low, so he could have a good rest tonight.

…………

The next morning.

The sun shone into the cave, creating a large golden spot on the ground.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, who was resting by the bonfire, woke up. After opening his eyes, he looked out of the cave.

The sky outside the cave had changed, and the dark clouds left in the gloomy sky were minimal.

The sun was no longer covered by dark clouds, hanging in the sky, emitting golden sunlight to the fullest, providing warmth for the earth.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got up from the ground and came outside the cave. He looked up at the sky.

Because of the rain, the sky was very blue, as beautiful as a sapphire.

The rain stopped at dawn. I thought the rain would stop until noon, but it stopped several hours earlier.

It was a good thing to stop the rain early, so we could go into the city next.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead returned to the cave, packed up his things, and left.

He had already eaten all the food he brought yesterday, so he had nothing to eat this morning.

Anyway, this place is not far from Zecheng, so I will have breakfast when I get to the city.

I walked forward with my backpack, hoping to reach the city gate quickly.

As a result, because it rained all night, the ground was wet everywhere.

It is hard to travel fast in such a muddy place.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead avoided small puddles and chose drier places as much as possible. After spending some time, he passed through a small forest and came to the main road.

This main road leads directly to Zecheng in the distance, and the road ahead is much easier.

However, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked forward for a distance, and his expression began to become serious.

Many strange beasts died in the attack on Zecheng yesterday, and these strange beasts fell to the ground and were not dealt with.

The soldiers on the city wall looked serious, and the city gate was not opened. Usually, the city gate would have been opened for a while at this time.

"Are they not going to open the city gate today?"

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the closed city gate in the distance, and his thoughts turned quickly. Based on past experience, he made some inferences.

There is a reason why he thinks the city gate will not be opened today.

In some wars that the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead had participated in before, the commander would issue an order to close the city gate after the war broke out to ensure that there would be no accidents in the city.

A voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head and found that some caravans appeared in the distance.

These merchants were all frightened when they saw the corpses of strange beasts on the ground.

Then they saw that Zecheng in the distance was safe and sound, and most of their worries disappeared immediately.

"Brother, why did so many strange beasts die here? Do you know what happened last night?"

The guards protecting the caravan saw a man standing on the side of the road and immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead briefly talked about the war that broke out last night. After listening to it, the guard turned pale, and then said to himself with lingering fear.

"Fortunately, we were delayed on the road because of some things, otherwise we would have been implicated last night."

"Brother, thank you for telling me this news."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waved his hand, indicating that these were useless news and not to be taken seriously.

After the guard found out the news, he turned around and left, and went back to tell his employer.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard exclamations. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could roughly guess the general idea.
