"Dark creatures are chasing us, what should we do next!"
However, reaching the city does not mean safety.
A group of nobles arrived in the city with their subordinates who had managed to escape, and the dark creatures behind them followed them like maggots that laid waste to their bones.
The dark creature still made the nobles in the coalition army restless.
"Quickly, find something to block the city gate. Duke Miller, get rid of the Earl's city gate where you are taking some of your men to the rear. You must not let the dark creatures break through!"
When Theodore saw the situation outside the city, he immediately asked Duke Miller to speak out.
"Okay!" Duke Miller didn't say much.
Now everyone in the alliance is in the same boat, so defending the city is a must.
Compared to being in the wild, being blocked by a city wall can make them safer.
"Everyone, please hurry up and lead the soldiers to defend the city wall. There are too many dark creatures now, and we can only stay in the city temporarily."
"If we can rely on the city to consume these dark creatures, then we can break through again in a few days!"
"Okay, this is the only way!"
All the nobles also knew that they could only defend the city and consume the dark creatures, so they immediately led their subordinates to climb the city wall.
At this time, the dark creature finally approached the city wall.
The white skeleton soldiers took the lead in launching the attack, because they could climb through the gaps in the city wall with their sharp fingers.
A group of death knights, hell three-headed dogs and other dark creatures attacked the city gate.
Although the alliance team also sent a large number of people to carry items to block the city wall.
But after all, time is tight, and it is impossible to be half as stable as the intact city gate.
Therefore, the coalition forces could only send people to guard and defend to the death. If there was a gap, they would fight and block the city gate at the same time.
Suddenly, as the dark creatures attacked, fierce fighting began on the top of the Duke's city.
The pressure on alliance teams is very high.
These dark creatures are not afraid of death, and with the presence of several giant dark pythons and the harassment of bloodthirsty bat gargoyles in the sky, even though there are nearly a thousand magicians on the human side, they can only struggle to support themselves.
And this is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is at the Earl City Gate behind the Duke City.
Because the count's castle was built halfway up the mountain, the gate and city wall were originally higher than the city.
If you are defending against foreign enemies in a castle, it will definitely be very easy.
But if you want to resist the enemies in the castle, it will be very difficult.
Because the castle already has a condescending advantage.
When the dark creatures opened the door to the Earl's castle, densely packed dark creatures immediately poured out.
Fortunately, Duke Miller and others arrived in time, and after fighting hard, they quickly blocked the castle gate with carriages and other debris.
However, blocking the door does not mean the battle is over. The dark creature still easily climbed down along the castle wall.
Of course, although the attack of the dark creatures was fierce, everyone knew at this moment that they were forced into a desperate situation, so they had the courage to fight even if they were desperate.
In this way, the Human Alliance was able to basically maintain the front line and did not let the dark creatures spread in the city.
…
"Admirer of the Abyss, why did you go to such trouble to let these humans break through once, and then ambush them halfway, instead of letting all the legions surround the city from the beginning?"
While the human coalition forces were fighting hard against the dark creatures, the Pope had already returned to the castle through the direct road outside the city.
And the dark armored knight was standing next to the Pope at the moment, asking him puzzledly.
"Your Majesty the Black Envoy, if we besiege these human races in the city from the beginning, although we can make it impossible for them to escape, it is not possible to break the city immediately,"
"After all, we don't have enough earth essences now. Before this, we couldn't teleport too many dark legions from the abyss at once."
"So, I specially asked them to break out once so that they could lose some supplies."
"When these humans broke through, they thought we only numbered 70,000 to 80,000. They didn't pay attention and brought all the supplies with them."
"But after encountering the ambush, they have lost most of their supplies. As a result, even if they stay in the city, they will not be able to defend it for long."
"They are different from the Abyss Warriors. The Abyss Warriors do not need to eat or drink. They can survive as long as they have death energy."
"But the human race needs to eat and drink every day. With their current supplies, they will be in dire straits within a week at most."
"That's it!" The armored knight nodded upon hearing this.
Although he also has wisdom, he is still a dark creature after all, and he still cannot compare with real humans in terms of planning.
"Abyss Worshiper, then everything goes according to your plan!"
"Okay, Lord Black Envoy, in just one week, I guarantee that these human teams will all die!"
The pope responded immediately.
His confidence is very strong.
After all, preparations have been made.
First of all, the human team in the city is already running out of supplies and will be in a food shortage situation in a week.
And secondly, the spirits of the earth will continue to be sent these days, allowing them to once again have the ability to teleport large numbers of dark creatures.
…
A group of allied nobles didn't know that the scheming Pope had already taken advantage of them.
The battle to defend the city lasted for several hours.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the attack power of the dark creatures weakened slightly.
In this way, Theodore immediately summoned some noble representatives to start a meeting.
"Everyone, we are now trapped in a tight siege!" Theodore sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.
The other noble representatives were also silent when they heard this.
Everyone did not expect that today's situation would be full of twists and turns. Earlier, they thought they had won a big victory, but in the blink of an eye, the entire team was trapped.
"Everyone, what do you think we should do next?"
It was no longer an emergency, so Theodore also began to seek opinions from everyone.
"There are too many dark creatures outside the city, and half of them are death knights, so our best choice at the moment is to stay in the city."
"Rely on the city wall to weaken and eliminate the number of dark creatures. As long as the number of dark creatures is reduced, then we can try to break through again." Duke Miller expressed his thoughts after hearing this.
"Duke Miller is right. We have just lost at least one-fifth of our manpower. If we continue to rush out now, the loss will definitely be even greater!"
"What Duke Miller and Duke Bree said is right, but I'm very worried. I don't know if there will be more such dark creatures. We lost too many supplies when we just returned. Now I'm afraid we can only eat the supplies in the team. Less than a week ago.”
At this time, a noble suddenly interrupted.
And all the nobles fell silent again.
If those supplies were not lost, they would be able to feed them for at least a month.
And one month is enough, whether it is to consume the number of dark creatures or to make the alliance aware of the problem and then send reinforcements.
"Everyone, I think there should not be too many such dark creatures. After all, dark creatures need to consume a huge amount of energy to reach our sacred continent from their dark abyss."
"Otherwise, why haven't we seen such dark creatures before? Therefore, as long as we consume all these dark creatures, there will be hope of escaping!"
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Theodore, the president, was somewhat qualified and immediately offered words of comfort.
In this situation now, they no longer have the ability to calculate that.
The only thing that can be done is to defend the city and consume as many dark creatures as possible.
Hearing this, all the nobles nodded silently, understanding that it was useless to worry about the current plan.
Woohoo!
But at this moment, the rapid sound of the horn sounded again in everyone's ears.
This shows that the dark creatures have once again launched a large-scale siege.
"Everyone, the dark creatures have begun to attack again. Please return to your respective positions and take guard duty!"
Immediately, all the nobles dispersed, and then started fighting with the dark creatures again.
…
Time turned to three days later.
At this moment, there are dense piles of bones at the foot of the Duke's city wall.
These are all left behind after the skeleton soldiers were killed after attacking these days.
The faces of the nobles and guards on the city wall were full of exhaustion.
"Finally the killing is almost over, now we will be able to break out of the encirclement soon!"
"Haha, yes, we have probably killed half of the dark creatures in the past three days!"
"Yes, although we have killed the fewest death knights, these skeleton soldiers and three-headed hell dogs will also hinder our breakout. Now that we can consume them all, I believe we will be able to break through today and tomorrow!"
Fortunately, looking at the dark creatures outside the city that had been reduced by half, the guards all showed happy expressions on their faces.
In fact, in addition to the guards, all the nobles also felt relieved.
"President Theodore, according to the current situation, we will be able to break through this afternoon!"
"That's right, in order to avoid any accidents, we will start to break out in the evening!"
Theodore nodded. Although the battle in the past three days was difficult, the situation was as they expected. Most of the dark creatures had been consumed in these three days, and they could directly break through.
And even if the current food is deliberately arranged in a unified manner, it can only sustain them for another three or four days.
So now is the best time to break out.
The next moment, Theodore was ready to prepare for a breakout to a group of nobles.
"Hey, look, what's that side?"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed nobleman suddenly saw something happened on the passage from the castle not far away that led directly to the foot of the mountain.
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked over there, but their expressions changed the next moment.
Because at this moment, there were densely packed dark creatures walking on the mountain road.
"This...how come there are so many dark creatures in the castle!"
"Oh my god, there are actually five dark pythons!"
"Look, there are a lot of gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats flying above the castle!"
In the expressions of the nobles who had seen a ghost, densely packed dark creatures began to gather towards the outside of the city.
A moment ago, everyone thought they would be able to break through immediately, but at this moment, they fell to the bottom again.
"Haha, these nobles must be surprised at this time!"
"Don't be too surprised. This is only half the number. In two days, as more earth spirits arrive, it will be the end of all of you!"
On the castle, the Pope smiled proudly when he saw densely packed dark creatures pouring out and once again filling up the outside of the Duke's city.
With the continuous investment of the earth essence these days, these dark creatures have actually been teleported here long ago.
Although the number is only 70,000 to 80,000, it is enough to replenish the consumption of the previous days.
Or maybe the Pope has evil intentions and wants to make these originally aloof nobles fall from hope into despair again, so he has never let these dark creatures show up.
But today, he saw that the number of dark creatures outside the city had been reduced by half, so he sent out these dark creatures again.
And the fact is as the Pope expected, the entire alliance team is indeed in despair.
Woo!
And the next moment, when the dark creatures gathered together again, the charging horn was remembered again.
Woohoo!
"Start fighting, don't be in a daze, dark creatures are coming!"
Responding to the trumpet of the dark creatures is also the urgent trumpet of the human race.
Following the growth of a few relatively calm strong men, a group of humans began fighting again. ,
However, the morale has been reduced over and over again, and now the small nobles and guards have become desperate.
And when they were fighting, they were just numbly engaging in the final fight between the trapped animals.
"Yes, if we continue to kill it for two or three days, this team should be destroyed directly!"
Looking at the fierce battle below, the Pope nodded with satisfaction.
The human race thought that the number of dark creatures could be eliminated. Little did they know that as long as there were earth spirits, there would be a steady stream of dark legions arriving through the teleportation array.
"His Majesty the Pope!"
However, at this moment, a subordinate suddenly walked beside the Pope.
"What's wrong?"
The Pope asked casually.
"His Majesty the Pope...there seems to be something wrong with the number of earth spirits sent today!"
"The number of earth spirits is wrong? How could it be wrong?" The Pope was stunned and did not react.
"Your Majesty the Pope, in addition to the areas that have been occupied by the human team, there are a total of one hundred and ten territories that send the essence of the earth to our ducal city."
"Originally, under normal circumstances, twenty-two groups of earth spirits would be delivered every day."
"But yesterday we received only twenty regiments."
"And today there are even fewer, only eighteen regiments!"
"Why is this happening?" The Pope immediately frowned.
Naturally, the earth spirits cannot continue to supply the territories occupied by this human team.
But those gathering places at the back can produce a group of earth essence every five days.
Therefore, at staggered times, more than twenty groups of earth spirits would be sent to the castle every day.
But now there is an inexplicable decrease, which is obviously a problem.
But what the problem was, the Pope couldn't figure out.
"This... subordinates don't know either!" Even the Pope doesn't know, and this subordinate definitely doesn't know either.
"Immediately send me people to check, use gargoyles as mounts, and go to every gathering place to confirm!" The Pope frowned.
If it's just missing a clump occasionally, that's okay.
But there has been a lack of earth essence for two days in a row, and the number is still rising. Naturally, he can't sit still.
