Heart of Empire Chapter 391: The devil is approaching the city

The holy knight Verina, covered in blood but covered in holy light, who was stationed at the main gate of White Wolf Castle, roared on the city wall:

"The second regiment must stand up for me! Let me tell you, you don't have any reinforcements, but you are absolutely not allowed to take half a step back on the city wall! Do you hear me clearly?"

The roaring sound was sealed up by a young mage apprentice along with the sound of the wind, and within a minute, it was sent to the garrison on another section of the city wall north of the main gate, the second regiment of the garrison army. in the captain's ear. ?

However, it is destined that the alliance captain will not hear the news. How could his head, which had no ears and was separated from the body, hear orders?

After a while, Verina learned that the captain of the southern section of the city wall had been killed by the violently charged demon army. I can't keep it.

She let out a long sigh and persisted for almost two days, but she still couldn't hold on anymore.

On December 22nd, the demon army led by Kang Li approached the city of Shawan Harbor. At that time, the first stage of the evacuation of Shawan Harbor hosted by Verina had already ended. A large number of important materials and a large number of people were urgently mobilized in those few days, and a large number of ships moored through Shawan Port were all transported to the ocean, and not a single ship stayed in the port.

On the one hand, the ship itself is a very important asset; on the other hand, it is impossible for them to leave the ship to Kangli's demon army. Is it convenient for others to chase after it?

As for, after all the boats left, even if they were empty, what would Verina do... She didn't care about it at all.

She never thought of leaving by boat, even though many people persuaded her, she still had no intention of doing so. She knew that the most important part of Dane's territory south of Schindler was not the seemingly wealthy Sandy Bay Port. The real core city is White Wolf Fort, the castle that established the power of the Human Temple.

In order to preserve the vitality of Shawan Port, she would rather give up the defense of the city than remove all personnel. However, she absolutely cannot give up White Wolf Fort.

At the moment before Kangli's demon army came, Verina and Palan, leading the garrison at Shawan Harbor, decisively left the city and withdrew to White Wolf Fort. Combining the strength of the garrison army that has withdrawn from Rotten Wolf Town into White Wolf Fort, combining the garrison of Shawan Harbor led by her, and counting the remaining troops of White Wolf Fort itself, the number of garrison in her hand can exceed Five thousand people.

If all the untrained soldiers from the several training camps in White Wolf Fort were pulled out, the number of this temporarily formed army could reach 6,000. If, including the estimated 20,000 to 30,000 civilians in White Wolf Fort, which absorbs the entire population of Rotten Wolf Town and some surrounding villages, Velina feels that she already has a certain amount of money, and she can talk to Kang Li. The Demon Legion fought hard.

Of course she would not be so arrogant that she could rely on such a motley army, which was far less numerous than others, to win the Kangli army, which had been overwhelming all the way to the south since the expedition.

It's just that her goal is to stick to it.

With such strength, it should be possible to persevere, right?

However, when the demon army broke through Shawan Harbor and arrived at the White Wolf Castle on the night of the 22nd, and immediately launched a round of attack without resting, Verina instantly I felt great pressure.

When the enemy attacked, she hadn't arrived at White Wolf Fort very long, and many defensive measures hadn't had time to start. In such a situation of lack of adequate preparation, when the enemy ushered in a crazy and fierce attack, the gate of White Wolf Castle was almost breached on the first day.

Those crazy, bursting, and terrifying demons are already a headache when they are grouped together individually or in small numbers. And when this number expands to tens of thousands, the fear it brings is so violent that people can't bear it!

At night, when you look at the eyes that are all scarlet, occasionally when a violent flame with a strong sulfur smell rises up, it shines out, and all the dark patches are all such hideous demons , no matter what kind of human warrior he is, seeing such a scene will tear his heart apart!

Verina herself took the lead in the battle. She even immediately pulled out all the twenty or so quasi-templar knights who were still undergoing training in the Abbey of White Wolf Castle.

She is a high-level paladin, although her personal combat power is not particularly strong, but in any case, the twelve professional levels are here; and those quasi-templar knights ~IndoMTL.com~ are not as good as Dane The sixty around him are so strong, but before they received knight training, they were priests with second to third ring spellcasting abilities.

Thus, Verina became a 'big light bulb' on the top of the city that night, and the twenty or so quasi-templar knights became a 'small light bulb'.

But no matter what, they together brought light to the soldiers in White Wolf Fort who were frightened by the demons and almost didn't know how to fight.

After a night of hard fighting, the gate of the city was saved at any rate.

The enemy retreated after dawn, but they made a comeback at noon, and the result was another afternoon of hard fighting.

The soldiers and civilians in the city suffered considerable casualties after fighting all night and one day.

In one day and one night, more than three thousand humans were shed on the walls of White Wolf Castle.

Among them, 1,000 soldiers died in battle; the conscripted civilians who had just taken up arms suffered even greater losses, with 2,000 dead.

And the head of the demon they captured may only be in the early five or six hundred.

The casualties are heavy, so we can put this matter aside for the time being. There are still many living people in the city, even if it has been fighting at such a high price, as long as the city can be defended, it is worth it. The city is destroyed, so what's the use of many people surviving? Could the devil still show mercy, or fail to accept the captive?

It's just that defending the city is such a difficult task.

After fighting for a whole day, the soldiers and civilians of White Wolf Fort, who were quite tired, hadn't had much rest time at all. On the 25th, they were once again violently attacked by the demon army.

This battle was fought from morning to night again. But at this moment, in the evening, the city finally showed signs of losing its hold. 8
