Section 40
Crack~
Fortunately, the direction of the jump did not change. Caesar held the guard tightly, and the two of them crashed into the tree next to the watchtower. Seeing this, the companions below hurried over to help.
"Captain! Max!"
The two came down from the tree.
"Captain, are you injured?" A young man exclaimed.
The part behind Caesar was covered with a black charred color, and a large area of blood was blurred. The guard named Max just had some skin rubbed off while hanging on the tree.
"Go!"
Caesar roared, "Hurry back and inform everyone!"
Before the others could react, they heard a series of noises in the distance.
The huge ruins guard took heavy steps, and countless hill people gathered into a tide of monsters, including archers, shamans, torches, shields, and a large number of slimes.
"So many?!"
This number shocked everyone in the team.
Caesar said to leave without any hesitation, and everyone reacted and hurriedly retreated towards Mondstadt.
"Guhehehe~French Knight, run away with all your strength."
An Abyss Mage appeared above the monster army and laughed.
Then he didn't know what he said, and the hill crowd suddenly began to speed up. There were too many of them, and this knight team had no idea of resisting until they passed two small strongholds in succession and the knights gathered to a certain size.
"We can't retreat anymore, we have to buy enough time for Mondstadt!"
The three teams gathered together, with a total of only 20 people.
Soon they selected a fast young man and asked him to go back to inform the news, and the rest of the people used the defense facilities to start fighting.
"Come on!"
More than a dozen silver armors performed their duties, and the fear and anxiety in their hearts dissipated when the long sword was raised.
Caesar roared: "Kill!!!"
...
The news of the appearance of the monster tide was soon passed back to Mondstadt by the knight.
Su Chen received the news and rushed to the knight building. Lisa had already gathered people and was discussing countermeasures.
Jean was not there, and most of the knights were on duty outside. Less than one-fifth of the people remained in Mondstadt, and many of them were carrying out their missions in the city with injuries.
In this situation, if you have to deal with a large-scale monster attack, once the city gate is not guarded, no one dares to think about what will happen.
"How could so many monsters suddenly appear? And they are actually planning to attack the city?"
A captain-level knight said in disbelief.
Normally, the hill people will subconsciously stay away from human towns.
Their camps are often stationed in deep mountains and old forests.
It is because of the recent dragon disaster that they become irritable and attack humans.
But the storm has stopped, isn't the dragon disaster getting better?
"It should be the Abyss Cult behind it."
After Lisa finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened and Su Chen walked in.
"Old...Su Chen, you are finally here." Lisa breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?"
"According to the news, a large number of monsters have appeared in the direction of the Thousand Wind Temple and have crossed the Wind Rising Land. I'm afraid they will reach Mondstadt in less than half an hour. I have ordered the city guards to prepare for battle, and the people in the city have also begun to take refuge, but..."
"Insufficient combat power?"
Su Chen glanced and saw the expressions on everyone's faces.
Most of the soldiers in the city are remnants. The injured knights can maintain law and order, but asking them to fight monsters is no different from sending themselves to death.
Except for these people, there are not many who can be pulled out.
"So, everyone, do what I say first."
Without extra time to think, Su Chen arranged all aspects of the work according to the current conditions.
When he finished speaking, he found that the entire conference room was very quiet.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why are you all looking at me? Hurry up and act!"
"Oh, oh, okay!"
"Let's go now!"
They were indeed shocked.
Is this what an assistant should do?
Is this what an assistant can do?
But Su Chen's arrangement was comprehensive, and even if Qin came, he couldn't think so thoroughly. So even though Su Chen had no right to order them in his position, these people still acted according to the order.
"Teacher, you are really..."
Lisa thought, you are not pretending, right?
But she didn't know that this was Su Chen's subconscious reaction. Faced with this situation, his identity as the leader was automatically activated.
"There are far from enough people." Su Chen narrowed his eyes.
Next, he immediately sent someone to contact the Fatui, asking them to help with the cooperation agreement for assisting in dealing with the dragon disaster.
The lady had already left the city, and she had her own tasks to perform, so Su Chen couldn't directly ask her to help defend, but the lady had already ordered that the Fatui would cooperate with the Knights in dealing with the dragon disaster.
It's just that most of the Fatui are dealing with monsters outside, which was also specially arranged by Qin before, in case the Fatui used the excuse of defense to cause trouble in the city again.
As a result, the main combat power of the Fatui was also taken out.
Su Chen had no time to complain to anyone. After notifying the Fatui, he immediately asked Arya to go to the Earthfire Stronghold.
...
"The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"
The entire Mondstadt was in chaos.
Monsters attacking the city!
This was the first time since the Dragon Calamity broke out.
And in the past few days, everyone has seen many people from the Knights go out. Even those who are not in the Knights can guess how many troops are in the city now.
There are few people and many monsters.
Once the city gate is forced, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I just came back from outside the city. There are so many monsters that I can't count them!"
"It's over, it's over. The wind dragon hasn't been dealt with yet, and so many monsters have come again."
"Lord Barbatos, please help your people."
"I don't know if the Knights can stop it."
"It's hard to say whether they have the courage to go out."
A fast-moving knight squad suddenly stopped, and the leading knight strode towards the person who was speaking and stopped in front of him.
Majestic face, serious eyes.
"No matter who you are, please do not question the Knights' determination!" the man said in a deep voice, "Unless we all die outside, no monster can break into the city! This is also our home, we will not escape, and it is impossible to escape! And you, even if you say one more encouraging word, it is better than complaining here and making random guesses!"
"I, I didn't say you will definitely..." The man was obviously frightened by the knight's momentum.
"It's best if you don't, remember, put away your little thoughts! The Knights' duty is to guard Mondstadt, and killing the enemy is our responsibility, but I will never allow my companions to be insulted without reason! We fight on the front line and fight monsters, please don't let our efforts be exchanged for indifference and misunderstanding, I hope that the people we protect are worthy of our protection!"
"Let's go!"
Time is running out.
After the knight finished speaking, he immediately led the team to rush towards the city gate.
...
"Mr. Su Chen, the monsters are coming!"
When Su Chen climbed the city wall, he saw a large black area from a distance.
"They really spared no effort."
There was no monster attack in the game.
But Su Chen could probably guess that the Abyss Cult wanted to prevent them from looking for Tevarin by attacking the city, so as to buy more time for corrupting Tevarin.
However, the Abyss Cult probably didn't expect that Qin and the others acted quickly and had already set out.
At this moment.
Some of the knights in the city climbed the city wall and used elemental cannons and crossbows for defense.
The rest of them guarded one end of the bridge into the city and used the geographical advantage to fight.
In addition to them, there was also a team of fully armed Fatui.
Su Chen never thought that one day he would fight side by side with Fatui.
Outside the city, the monster army had already stepped onto the bridge.
The knight captain roared: "Fire!——"
Chapter 36 Fierce Battle
Bang bang bang! ——
The hot shells streaked across the sky and fell, bombarding the monster group. The violent explosion broke a vacuum zone, but it was soon filled by the subsequent monsters.
