Chapter 448: Cheers From Kallenberg

Eslazer World, Skarn Kingdom, Capital Kaylonburg.

On the top of the city, the soldiers defending the city fell to the ground one after another, taking advantage of the free time of the battle to recover some physical strength. From the scars and tattered armor of these soldiers, as well as the red eyes like rabbits, it can be seen that they have been fighting for a long time.

There seemed to be no trace of life in the red eyes of all the soldiers. The long-lasting battle and the terrifying enemies under the city wall have exhausted all the fighting will of the most elite soldiers in these kingdoms.

If they did not know that if the enemy captured the city, everyone, including them, would not survive, a large part of these extremely tired soldiers would definitely choose to surrender.

At the beginning, many other cities in the kingdom chose to surrender when facing those terrifying enemies. But what shocked everyone was that those enemies did not care whether you surrendered or resisted, as long as you broke through the city, you would start a massacre.

After sending out some desperate magic messages, the cities that surrendered at the beginning had no news. The rest of the cities that had been warned began to fight hard. However, the enemy was unexpectedly strong. In the magic tower of the kingdom, news of the fall of several cities was reported every day.

Finally, three days ago, the enemy attacked the capital, Kalundborg.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Skagen, Kalundborg has a relatively strong defense force, so it can withstand the enemy's continuous attack for three days. But even if the royal family sent out the palace guards and used a rotation defense method, the physical and mental strength of all the soldiers in Kalundborg had reached a limit.

There was no sound on the top of the city, even those soldiers with wounds all over their bodies were used to the pain. The soldiers knew that they might lose their lives in the next round of enemy attacks, but they were already the last fighting force of Kalundborg, and they could not afford any retreat.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the base of the city wall. Almost all the soldiers stood up vigilantly and grabbed their weapons. But then they relaxed. It was not the enemy that they expected to attack the city again. The place where the riot occurred was inside the city wall.

Although they didn't know what happened, the soldiers rarely looked out to see the situation under the city wall. They were already the last soldiers of Kalunburg, and there was no possibility of friendly troops to replace them; and other than that, they didn't care about anything that happened inside the city wall - the only consciousness of the soldiers now was to use everything they had to resist the enemies outside the city.

However, to their surprise, the riot at the root of the city wall became bigger and bigger, and gradually spread to the city wall. Now, the soldiers who had originally looked lifeless all showed a trace of confusion in their eyes, and then began to check the situation.

When they poked their heads out from the city wall and looked down, they suddenly had an unbelievable thought in their minds. The source of the riot was actually a group of fully armed people who looked like soldiers climbing up the wall!

How could it be? Aren't we the last soldiers of Kalunburg? All the soldiers still fighting on the city wall knew clearly that there was no army in Kallonburg at this time. Among the defenders on the city wall, there were the original city guards, the palace guards, and even the private guards of nobles and ministers.

After three days of fighting, there was no good thing of rotating in batches. All kinds of troops had suffered heavy losses, and in the end only the existing soldiers on the city wall who originally belonged to different troops were left.

Even the palace guards and the noble private army had lost a lot, and had to be mixed with the general city guards for defense. Where did these soldiers who were coming to the city wall come from?

With a confused mood, the soldiers stood up and prepared to welcome these sudden reinforcements. No matter where these soldiers came from, it was a good thing for them. More strength will make defense easier.

But as the newly appeared soldiers scattered to various places on the top of the city, they finally exposed their identities. Shouts of doubt or shock suddenly rang on the city wall.

"Father? Why are you here?" "Brother! Who told you to come here? Go home quickly, it's too dangerous here!" "Elena?! Why do you look like this?" "..."

The soldiers on the city wall were surprised to find that these "reinforcements" that suddenly appeared were actually people they knew. Some found their fathers, some saw their brothers, and even some women were among these "soldiers" who came to support.

Most of the people who recognized each other hugged each other tightly. In this war, they thought they would never see each other again. And more of the "soldiers" who came to support had a gloomy look. The person they wanted to see again had died.

After a burst of excited noise, those who were originally guarding the city wall asked why their relatives or friends came here dressed as soldiers. The answers they got made them silent one by one.

Their relatives, lovers or friends were not forced to come to the city wall to participate in the battle as they imagined. In Kalundborg, His Majesty the King personally launched a mobilization, laying the crisis of national extinction starkly before the citizens.

The enemies outside the city were like demons that would massacre every city after they captured it. After the King's mobilization, many people, especially those who knew the soldiers guarding the city, chose to participate in the battle.

The King set up a military department in the center of the city and distributed armor and weapons to all those who were willing to fight. In normal times, things like full body armor were regulated. But now it doesn't matter. Any more combat power is good.

The original soldiers guarding the city sighed and remained silent. The reason why they fought hard and did not flinch in the face of death that could come at any time was to protect their relatives, lovers or friends who were now on the city wall.

Now, the people they wanted to protect have also come to face death together, which made them feel extremely relieved in their hearts despite their anxiety. Even if it is death, it is also happiness to die next to the people you care about, right?

The hands holding the weapons added a little more strength, and the soldiers had never been so eager to repel the enemy as they are now.

While all of the above was happening on the city wall, the palace of Kalundborg was not peaceful either. King Skarn, dressed in a royal robe, anxiously walked back and forth outside a door on top of the Mage Tower.

King Skarn had just mobilized the citizens of Kalundborg and mobilized the last force he could mobilize. He knew that there was no more force to replenish in Kalundborg. Now all he could count on was the enshrined mage inside the door.

Don't get me wrong, the enshrined mage who barely entered the legendary level was powerful, but even with the help of the Mage Tower, it was still difficult to reverse the situation in a war of this scale. What King Skarn was looking forward to was the magic communication that the enshrined mage could bring.

Finally, with a "creak", the door opened. King Skarn, pacing back and forth, stared at an old magician who walked out of the room, his eyes full of expectation and inquiry.

Not disappointing him, the old magician nodded slowly. King Skarn was immediately delighted and let out a low cry of excitement.

You can't blame this king for not paying attention to his image. It's just that he was under too much pressure during this period. As a king who still loves his people, the news of the fall and massacre of every city in the kingdom has added a wound to his heart. And the endless enemies outside Kalundborg made him feel desperate.

Now, there is finally a glimmer of hope to solve the crisis. How can he not be excited?

Without hesitation, King Skarn quickly entered another room in the magic tower with the old worshiper. Not long after, with the help of the constant super-large sound amplification of the magic tower, the king's voice spread throughout Kalundborg.

"My people, it has been three days. In front of those terrifying undead, we have persisted for three days. The soldiers on the city wall have gradually lost the strength to pick up weapons, and even I, the king, have begun to feel desperate."

King Skarn said this in a low voice, which made everyone in Kalundborg feel depressed. Does His Majesty the King want to give up resistance? Impossible, His Majesty just mobilized the citizens to join the battle, and even if they give up resistance, the undead will massacre the city!

The king continued: "But now I want to tell you that the dawn has appeared! Kalong Castle, and even our entire Skagen Kingdom, are saved! Andler, the great wizard, has just contacted the army of the Dark Night Empire through magic communication, and they are only half a day away from Kalong Castle!"

"Yes, the reinforcements of the Dark Night Empire are coming! Hang on, just hold on for another half a day, and the army of the Dark Night Empire will arrive, and the undead outside the city will not be a worry, we will be rescued soon!"

The whole Kalong Castle suddenly became quiet, and then cheers came from all over the place. In the pitch-black darkness, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a ray of light.

Almost all humans know the power of the Dark Night Empire. Since the elf reinforcements are about to arrive, it means that the danger will no longer exist! Half a day, just hold on for another half a day! On the city wall, both the original soldiers and the later militias have reaffirmed their will to fight.

In the Mage Tower, King Skarn was not idle either. He threw the kingdom's last remaining magic crystals into the magic circle, allowing the enshrined magician to cast magic to strengthen the city wall. In order to save magic crystals, he was reluctant to use the super-large sound amplification on the Mage Tower when mobilizing.
