From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 572 Defending the City
At night, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse.

The demihuman army attacks the city.

The snake-men troops have the ability to observe thermal imaging at night. When attacking, they secrete mucus in their abdomens and crawl on the city wall, so they are more difficult to deal with. As for the six-legged beasts, they lack the ability to climb the city. In recent days, they have been sweeping farmland and deserted areas around the lord city. People's villages.

Facing the attack, rows of torches were lit on the city wall, and a group of three hundred magicians released fireballs to provide their own side with vision. Ordinary soldiers led by knight officers guarded various defense nodes. In a large-scale war, most of the People are just numbers on a record sheet.

Jiang Yuan set up his hunting bow, [Rapid Shooting] made him pull the string extremely fast, and each sharp arrow disappeared into the night, and then brought up pieces of blood. Occasionally, he activated [Broken Horns] to target the armor on the enemy leader, and the drama The poison paralyzed many enemies and caused them to fall to the top of the city.

In an offensive and defensive battle, at least hundreds of snakemen died under Feiyu. The enemy discovered the humanoid firepower node on the city wall and sent elite members to sneak into the team to attack. As a result, they were taken care of by explosive arrows.

……

In the woods on the mountain in the distance.

Quinn Esser, the fifth seat of the Black Holy Book of Theocracy, stared at the dim moon in a daze. The strong man next to him also stared blankly at the shield and did not continue to maintain his beloved magic item.

In fact, both of them have no intention of letting the demi-humans grow bigger. According to normal development, when the royal army drives the enemy out of the territory and cuts off the battlefield to the north, they will inevitably have their flanks provide support. At that time, it will be their opportunity to kill the new heroes. .

The central part is blocked, and the Holy Kingdom launches a full-scale counterattack. As long as the Great Wall is captured again, half of the main demi-humans can be swallowed up, making these dirty guys unable to recover for the next ten years, thereby defeating the two mission targets. Completed.

But things are always unpredictable. The defeat of the Kingdom's army in the first battle probably exceeded everyone's expectations, including the demi-humans and the Kingdom itself.

The current situation is enough to make people anxious. The new heroes have been identified but have not been killed. The demi-humans have grown bigger and seem to have some signs of becoming an empire. This is intolerable for the Holy Theocracy, which advocates the supremacy of mankind.

The current best way to break the situation is to ask the pro-dragon kingdom to intervene, but the Theocracy and the pro-dragon kingdom are very uncooperative. From the perspective of human supremacy, praying for the gift of dragons is undoubtedly a complete betrayal of one's own race.

"It seems that the demi-humans cannot capture the Lord's City for the time being. The bow and arrows held by that hero are of high quality, but this city has become a key node in the overall situation. If we kill the opponent and cause collapse, we will all become sinners."

The strong man felt a little speechless at these words, because he had never participated in the formulation of the plan.

Quinese was silent for a long time. The Holy Kingdom was blocked outside the Great Wall, and the Pro-Dragon Kingdom was closed on its own. With the new emperor coming to power, the Empire was advancing a new revolution. To save everything, the only way to save everything was to resort to dangerous tactics.

"Contact [Lao Bai] and say that we are willing to help the demi-humans break through the frozen city. The destructive power of the giant wall Qianren on the city wall has been proven, and those guys will not refuse."

The strong man's eyes widened when he heard this. He suspected that there was a traitor among the two of them.

Quinn Esser said calmly, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to go back in this situation. In this case, let's bring out the kingdom's potential. A disastrous defeat may be a good thing. At least it can make the kingdom's army understand that the enemy is an existence that cannot be underestimated. ”

"I'm only... responsible for protecting your safety." The strong man said with difficulty.

……

New calendar year 618, early February. The demihuman army has been attacking the Lord's City for a long time, leaving tens of thousands of corpses on the city walls.

The main force of 70,000 people was transferred from the Great Wall battlefield on the border. Just when the spectators thought that the Asians were going to take this hard nut by force, the news came that caused the whole country of Yestije to panic.

The frozen city built by Warrior Captain Gazef was declared to have fallen, and the 30,000 Kingdom troops were forced to retreat. During the retreat, the Warrior Captain set up an ambush and swallowed up a group of aggressive cavalry, wiping out more than 4,000 enemies. This became the first battle since the war began. first victory.

But this could not change the crisis affecting the entire kingdom at all. The northern region was completely reduced to enemy-occupied territory, the defense line was broken, and organized demi-human troops had appeared in the fertile royal territory.

Faced with the victory of the warrior captain this time, the royal faction and the noble faction lost interest in fighting for the results. How a periodic attack of demi-humans evolved into a war to destroy the country, most people recall it like a dream. .

The Royal Council was convened again, and the king ordered that the first prince be immediately dismissed from all military positions. Marquis Raeven, the head of the six nobles, was appointed to oversee the war in the North. The second prince handled government affairs. The golden princess Lana went out to unite the lone troops of various ministries, and the steel-level The adventurer team Blue Rose escorted them and launched a nationwide mobilization to regain the lost land at all costs.

The war broke out again, and the kingdom assembled 150,000 troops. If it failed again, the king would have no choice but to move the capital south.

Mid-February.

Marquis Lei Wen did not use any strategy, but commanded the army to advance steadily northward.

During this period, he was faced with various opportunities to speed up the progress, but turned a blind eye to them all. Finally, he encountered the main force of the demi-humans in the area directly under the royal family. They fought fiercely for three days, injuring more than 20,000 enemies, and also suffered losses of up to 20,000 for our own side.

In late February, there were three more large-scale encounters.

Nearly 50,000 corpses from both sides were thrown on the battlefield. For a time, the king's desk was filled with memorials to impeach Lord Raiven. However, the second prince who presided over the affairs responded and expressed that the royal family fully supports all military actions of Lord Raiven. .

In early March, the war reached its highest intensity.

Warrior Captain Gazef killed [Demon Claw]. After both sides lost more than 10,000 troops, the demi-humans were the first to be unable to bear the losses. The long supply line and food shortage problems finally broke out. At the cost of a tragic victory, the Royal Army barely defeated the demi-humans. The main force was driven out of the territory.

However, the royal army was no longer able to fight anymore. Because the consequences of failure were unbearable, Marquis Raeven chose to maintain the dignity of the kingdom by competing for national power.

The second prince ordered that the Northern Marquis, the culprit of this incident, be executed immediately. He will bear all the responsibility for the defeat since the war began. The nobles are allowed to hunt freely in the northern region, as long as they can eliminate the scattered small groups of demi-humans and occupy them. The land is a permanent seal.

The war potential was once again squeezed and released, and many elite adventurer teams poured into the battlefield, because the "New Fiefdom Act" also took effect on free people.

At the same time, the Holy Kingdom stormed the Great Wall on the border, and the demi-humans were forced to change their offensive posture to strategic defense. However, [Snake King] defied all opinions and sent [Old White] and the second best among the ten heroes [King of Scale Horns] to lead the tribe to defend the north. city.

This city has experienced fire, but only the southern wall collapsed. With the rock-eating ape's talent in the rock system, it can be quickly repaired. The stronghold is deep into enemy territory and bears huge risks, but it is enough to serve as the last hope for establishing a demi-human empire. , and at the same time, the small demi-human troops scattered in the north will not completely lose their will to fight. The [Scale-Horned King] is a dragon man. The number of his tribe is only more than a thousand, but he is the most elite secret force in the demi-human kingdom. As expected, You can definitely stick to it.
