Chapter 375 Retreat to the Temple
……
Through the gap in the northern city wall, a large number of monsters, mixed with orcs, poured into the Crescent City. After rushing into the city, they immediately started burning, killing and looting. They rushed up the stairs under the big tree to the tree, broke into the houses, and began to commit cruel atrocities.
"Whoa! Help, help!!"
"Don't come here, go away, come quickly!!"
All kinds of chaotic sounds came and went. The male elves took up weapons to resist. As elves, bows and arrows are basically in everyone's hands. But they haven't received much training and their combat effectiveness is very limited.
All male elves will be killed indiscriminately if they are seen by monsters and orcs. The female elves became the prey of the orcs. After seeing the female elves, these greedy orcs couldn't hold back the lewd smiles on their faces and rushed towards them.
As for monsters, they basically kill them without distinction regardless of gender. Some orcs even had small internal strife with monsters because of this:
"Hey, idiot, that's my prey!!" An orc was about to capture the female elf in front of him, but before he could take action, a monster roared over and mercilessly killed the female elf with a single blow. . Seeing his favorite prey lying in a pool of blood, the orc became furious and kicked the monster away.
There are many similar situations, but no one pays attention to these small episodes.
"Ho ho ho!!!" Those large monsters walked heavily, swinging the sledgehammers and giant axes in their hands all the time, mercilessly destroying all life in front of them. Crescent City is already in ruins.
"Burn it and kill it." Augustus walked slowly, following the monster army into the Crescent City. The city has been captured, and he can prepare to implement his next plan.
"Life Crystal... where are you? Where are you?" Augustus smiled coldly: "You guys, follow me."
"As you command, Lord Augustus..."
"Fighters!! Come on!!!" Ossis withdrew some of the remaining defeated soldiers from the top of the city wall, and then continued to fight with those monsters. There were more than a thousand defenders guarding the city wall at first, but now there are only a few hundred left, and all the others have been sacrificed.
But even so, the remaining people did not retreat, but continued to fight to the death. However, because the number of people was too small, they could not organize a defense line. A large number of monsters bypassed them and rushed directly deeper into the city.
"Your Majesty... ahead! The monsters have rushed into the city!!" On the other side, Atras and his team were rushing towards the north city wall, but they encountered the monsters entering the city halfway.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!!!" Atras said decisively.
"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"
The more than 300 people led by Atlas can basically be said to be elite troops. Those who can serve as guards must have stronger combat effectiveness than ordinary elf warriors. As for the guards, they are the best among the best, and on average they are all good players who can block ten with one.
"Prepare to release arrows!! Free fire!!!" Aitras shouted.
All elves are equipped with bows and arrows, no matter what their job is. More than three hundred people immediately formed a formation and blocked the monster's impact path.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!!" For a moment, arrows rained down again. The guards did not use ordinary arrows, but used more penetrating energy arrows. The green arrows formed a barrage and shot towards the monsters, killing a large number of them instantly.
"Keep shooting!! Don't stop, keep shooting!!" Aitras shouted.
Just like cutting wheat, the green energy arrows shot continuously harvest the lives of monsters. In front of the defense line composed of more than 300 elite guards, the monsters fell in droves, and soon hundreds of people were killed or injured.
But even so, the number of monsters is still too many. A large number of monsters withstood the fierce firepower and rushed to the front of the defense line. Moreover, continuous shooting consumes a lot of arrows. Soon, the arrows in the quivers carried by the guards were empty.
"Everyone!! Draw your sword!!" Seeing this scene, Atras also made a quick decision and decided to switch to hand-to-hand combat.
"Yes, Your Majesty!!" The guards put away their bows and arrows, and then took out the long swords in their scabbards. Atras also drew his weapon, and the brave Elven King decided to fight alongside his men.
"Ouch! Ouch!!!!" The monster rushed over, holding up the knife, fork and stick in its hand, shouting.
"superior!!"
“Drink ah ah ah ah!!!”
The elf guards rushed towards the monster bravely, like a golden water column plunged into the black torrent, and was swallowed up instantly.
"Drink!!" Etras raised his sword eyebrows, the elf blade in his hand ignited with green flames, and green light burst out from his eyes.
"Kill!!!" Atras shouted, raised his arm, waved the long knife in his hand, and swung out a full moon. With a "Whoosh!", an emerald-green sword energy was slashed out, instantly strangling five or six monsters that rushed forward.
The aura belonging to the king was released from Atras's body, and this exciting aura immediately boosted the morale of the surrounding elven guards. Everyone was fighting hard, but the monsters failed to break through the defense line for a while.
"Boom." "Boom."
However, at this moment, two huge monsters began to approach. They picked up the heavy axes in their hands and swept across.
Regardless of whether there were friendly forces in front of them, the two giant monsters swung the giant axes in their hands into a storm, sucking in all the monsters and elves in front of them, and strangled them into a bloody mist.
"Damn..." Looking at the two giant monsters that broke into the formation and killed them, Etras gritted his teeth and couldn't help but spat.
The appearance of these two giant monsters has caused an imbalance in the battle situation. If these two threats are not resolved as soon as possible, the situation will become extremely troublesome.
At this time, Nakele and Xue Nawen, the personal guards behind Aitras, stood up.
"Your Majesty, leave it to us!" Naklay nodded to the Elf King and said firmly, then looked at his wife: "Naiwen, let's go!"
"it is good!!"
The two men held the long knives in their hands upside down, quickly walked through the chaotic battlefield, and went straight to kill the two giant monsters.
"Hoohoho!!!"
The two giant monsters were still waving the giant axes in their hands. One of them saw Naklay rushing towards him and immediately swung the ax at him.
"Drink!" Naklay shouted, and then quickly used a sliding shovel. The sharp ax blade rubbed against his scalp, but it did not hurt him. After dodging this sweeping blow, Naklay grabbed the bulge on the troll's wrist armor, and then climbed onto its arm.
"Hoho!!" The giant monster yelled, trying to throw Naklay away. But this elf guard with strong martial arts skills would not let it happen. Without any pause, Naklay ran along the giant monster's arm as if running on flat ground, and quickly ran to the monster's back.
The giant monster lost Naklay's vision, but it knew that there was an elf lying on its back, and it stupidly began to wave the giant ax in its hand randomly. Those poor little monsters were caught in the ax blade storm and turned into a ball of black mud.
"Go to hell!!!" Naklay roared loudly, then clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and raised the long knife high. With the infusion of magic power throughout his body, the blade glowed with a bright green light. Then he took advantage of the moment when the monster stood up, used its strength to jump up high, and then slashed it down hard.
"Ouch!!!" The monster let out a tragic scream. Starting from the back of its neck, a very deep knife mark penetrated its body, almost splitting it in half.
The giant monster lost its support and fell to the ground. The heavy body also crushed several small monsters to death when it fell.
"Huh!" Naklay snorted, then jumped back.
On the other side, his wife Xue Nawen's technique is equally clean and neat. The female elf climbed onto the back of another giant monster in the same way, then raised the long knife with green light in her hand and stabbed it into the monster's head.
This fatal blow took away the life of the giant monster in an instant. The monster couldn't even make a scream, and just fell to the ground like a collapsed wall.
With the two giant monsters eliminated, the morale of the elves was greatly boosted. Everyone fought with all their strength and quickly killed a large number of monsters.
Thanks to the monster's death, the body will turn into black gas and disappear after a few minutes. Otherwise, so many monsters died here, and the corpses alone could pile up into a hill.
However, although the elves fought bravely and temporarily resisted the invasion of monsters, bigger trouble soon came.
"Reporting to Lord Augustus, we encountered a very strong resistance in front, and our troops can't rush in!" Augustus was walking forward slowly behind the troops. A monster centurion Come and report.
"Oh? How can such a thing happen?" Augustus sneered: "I know, then I will show my hand a little bit."
"Lord Augustus, are you planning to take action?" Next to Augustus, the orc leader Vito asked. He left his men free to plunder, and he followed Augustus.
"Oh, just clear the obstacles a little bit." Augustus said calmly. After taking two steps, the two came to the front line, and then Augustus saw Aitras and his subordinates who were struggling to resist.
"It's Atlas!" Vito naturally recognized this "old friend" and said.
"So that's it." Augustus sneered: "I'm just going to tell you who is so brave. It turns out to be our dear Elf King. Then I'll give you a little shock."
After saying that, Augustus drew out his magic knife and pointed it at the sky. Magic power and demonic energy were surging, and soon a black ball of light formed above August's head.
"Go." Augustus said lightly. The black ball of light immediately hit Etras and his guards like a wild horse.
"Boom!!" The ball of light exploded, and the powerful magic power formed a heart-stopping shock wave, knocking everyone over. The two elf guards at the center of the explosion were directly reduced to ashes.
"What...?" Atlas gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. After seeing August's face, his expression changed.
"Everyone...retreat to the Crescent Temple, quickly!!"
