Chapter 170 Collapse

Before the flying yellow sand spread into the city.

The guards on the first line of defense have already taken action.

woohoo-

The whistling sound from the suburbs penetrated into "Talek" from far to near.

The voice was as joyful as a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time and was finally free.

But when it fell into the ears of the "Talek" guards, they only felt that it was infiltrating and terrifying.

call--

A strong and powerful airflow suddenly erupted.

The wind roared, followed by sand and dust galloping like thousands of troops.

The sand and gravel collided continuously in the strong wind, making a harsh and terrifying friction sound.

It seems that nature is succumbing to this power.

Hoarse howls came from the outskirts of the city dominated by dust.

That was the desperate cry that the animals made after this natural disaster fully revealed its power.

The wails of wild beasts were mixed with the explosions of large rocks being shattered by waves of sand.

It gives people an unstoppable sense of insignificance.

In this way, the wildly dancing sandstorm connected the sky and the earth under the nervous gazes of many guards at the top of the "Talek" city.

Immediately, it rolled towards the tall city wall under their feet!

Boyce, who was at the forefront, had already noticed something was wrong.

The sandstorm summoned by the sand people was far more powerful than he had expected!

Was the previous information wrong? !

No.

The message should be fine.

He looked at the shock that could not be concealed in the eyes of the guards on the left and right.

Boyce could easily feel that these soldiers who participated in the previous ambush and were unable to retreat, and then took the initiative to apply to join the first line of defense also did not expect that the sand people could summon such a terrifying sandstorm. .

"Is that why they're stopping these days?"

Boyce quickly withdrew his gaze, his expression extremely solemn.

As his thoughts circulated, he had already figured out the key points of the matter.

If the sand people could really summon such a terrifying sandstorm easily, they should have used this trick long ago when they were ambushed.

Why bother having to fight with the "Talek" guards in real combat?

Therefore, the sand people must have made certain preparations before they could finally summon such a terrifying sandstorm.

This can also explain why they came after a long journey, but did not choose to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the failure of the "Talek" guard's ambush to continue the attack in one go -

The shabu that the retreating guards said could only block the line of sight obviously could not pose any threat to the towering walls of "Talek". Therefore, the sand people must be fully prepared to use some means to control the more violent The wind and sand bombarded the city wall.

For this reason, they must of course have a temporary place to stay first, which can not only facilitate their preparations, but also prevent the harassment forces that the enemy may send.

Sure enough, there is no luck in war.

The sand people put away their fists just to swing them out better!
Watching the terrifying sandstorm getting closer and closer, Boyce could almost feel the vibration of the city wall under his feet.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the guard standing behind him:

"Send an order to all the guards on the western section of the city wall."

"Wear your mask and get in line."

"Let's get down to the city wall!"

"Retreat to the front of the second line of defense!"

The guards who heard Boyce's order were startled.

Sir, are you giving up on defending the city wall?
Although he could not understand this order at all, the guard immediately saluted respectfully and ran quickly to inform other guards who had sent the order.

Faced with doubtful or hesitant looks from around him, Boyce did not explain anything more.He could understand these people's concerns.

Defending against the city wall is a natural advantage for the defender.

Nowadays, despite the ferocity of the sand people, it is still unknown whether the sandstorm can blow through the towering and solid walls of "Talek".

You know, when "Talek" was rebuilt, the construction of the city wall was the top priority.

A city with less than 3 people, its city walls are comparable to many much larger cities in the southern part of the north.

If we rashly abandon such a reliable barrier and find that the sandstorm cannot affect the city wall, wouldn't it mean that we would allow the sand people to rush under the city wall or even scale the wall and invade the city?

Of course, knowing everything, Beuys still insisted on his decision.

The rocky hill where the sand people camped was not far from "Talek". As long as the eyesight was slightly better, it would not be difficult to see clearly the majesty of the "Talek" city wall.

Under this premise, the sand people still chose to launch an attack.

Boyce doesn't think they're out of their minds and trying to hit a rock with an egg.

Moreover, the current powerful sandstorm also proves that these sand people who are full of malice towards "Talek" are well prepared.

The guards stayed on the city wall, and in the end they were probably killed along with the countless boulders that built the city.

A pointless sacrifice.

Having said that, the impending natural disaster has deprived Boyce of the time to further explain to the people around him.

He put on the mask embroidered with golden rectangular patterns, made a gesture, and shouted loudly:
"Quick! Move quickly!"

"Go down to the city wall and form a defensive line in front of the militia."

"We must not let the enemy harm the women and children in the city!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

boom--

Finally, the sandstorm hit the wall of "Talek" hard.

Large pieces of sand and gravel hovered in the air carrying strange streams of light, restlessly attacking the city wall like countless projectiles.

As time went by, the sand and stones hitting the city wall became denser and denser, and the terrifying power of the sandstorm became more and more prominent.

The huge blocks of stone designed to withstand external invasion were quickly shattered.

The boulder of annihilation threw waves of flying rocks in all directions.

The city walls that originally seemed impenetrable were eaten away by sandstorms at an alarming rate.

Not long after, obvious cracks appeared in the city wall.

Once a crack occurs, it can never be repaired.

The crackling sound was drowned in the sound of the wind.

Cracks covered the entire city wall in the blink of an eye.

A huge gap appeared at the top of the city wall!
Then came the second gap and the third gap
Countless hollow fractures appeared one after another.

Finally, the entire city wall was like a hollowed-out mountain peak and could no longer be maintained.

boom--

It was accompanied by a crackling sound that shook the ground.

The west wall of "Talek" collapsed!
The billowing dust waves merged with the sandstorm that was already covering the sky, making it even more powerful.

Rocks flew, hitting everything around them mercilessly.

Fortunately, the guards who were originally guarding the city wall took action in advance and retreated to a relatively safe position.

Only the guards at the back of the team had a few wounds on their necks because they had not been able to move too far away and could not be protected by the armor.

However, they did not let the pain in the back of their neck stop them.

The sky is filled with yellow sand, and I can only see clearly a few steps ahead.

Once you stop, I'm afraid you will be lost in the sand forever.

until death!
