Chapter 375

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was still dark.

The guards of the border fortress discovered the sudden appearance of stars and fire on the horizon.

In just a moment, a large number of roars and noisy shouts resounded through the night sky, and cavalrymen holding torches poured out from various roads like streams.

Hundreds and thousands of cavalrymen passed quickly and passed through the open space in front of the fortress. They pointed at the city walls, or insulted and shouted badly. There were soldiers guarding the city, and they wanted to shoot them with arrows, but they could only see their figures moving away quickly.

Then, there were large and large black military formations. If the previous cavalry was a stream, then the enemy at this moment was like a rushing river, lake or sea. Tens of thousands of soldiers, with torches in their hands, connected into one, like stars hanging upside down, densely covering the dim land.

Spears were like a forest, and the flags of the sect fluttered, mixed with the roars of the corpses, intertwined in the whistling wind.

All the animals and monsters around were trembling in their bones, and the circling birds were frightened by the terrifying murderous aura and fled in panic.

"The enemy is still increasing. When will the reinforcements from the empire arrive?"

Gherlos looked from afar. Although the people of the Shadow World Sect had filled the entire battlefield, the flags in the distance were still moving here.

"It will take time to attack the city. Don't panic. They haven't made any siege equipment yet." Ofili patted Gehlos on the shoulder, "Don't put your hope on the pity and sense of responsibility of the nobles."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"The little girl is brave. Even if the artifact is disintegrated, she still dares to fight on the front line." Ofili stood in awe and nodded in approval, "But please stay in the fortress. I'll be here."

"Hehe." Gehlos said funny in Ofili's ear, "No, I'm afraid you won't call me when you run away. Staying with you will be more convenient when you run away."

"Get out of the way!"

Ofili kicked Gehlos away with one foot: "Go and pour tea and water for the trash lord."

On the other side, Field rested for a while and felt a lot more relaxed, although his head was still swollen and painful.

"Not so dizzy anymore."

Holding his head, Field blinked hard and took out a letter from his arms: "Ashina, you are fast, please help me send something to Richard."

Ashina suppressed her inner anxiety: "Yes, I will do it immediately."

"Put the heads of Richard's men and this letter on the road they must pass, or throw it to them from a distance. After making sure he receives it, come back immediately. We can't be the only ones anxious, we have to be anxious together."

"In addition, I have asked Tisifa to integrate the military forces and draw 200 people from the First Army and Little Fox, who can set off here at any time. When the time comes, please bring them here, Little Fox is not capable of leading a team."

"Then here..."

"Don't worry, the enemy didn't even have time to move the siege equipment, so there will be no problem for a while."

After receiving the order, Asina set off immediately.

Putting on the Douqi armor, Field drew out the third-level Douqi long sword, carefully confirmed it, and put it back into the scabbard, and strode to the fortress wall.

"Lynx, report our military strength and city defense strength."

"Yes, sir!" Lynx stood up straight with a firm face. "The first army infantry includes 100 subhuman soldiers, totaling 300 and 7 people. Your elite guards are 55 people, heavy cavalry is 100 people, and looting cavalry is 100 people. Since we are fighting for the city defense, the cavalry may be used as infantry."

The 550-man direct army is a terrifying force for most barons, but it seems extremely weak at this moment.

"In addition, there are two batches of troops recruited from Baron Liema, totaling 120 people."

"The recruited argali army, that is, the second army, can be put into battle with about 250 people."

"City defense puppets can only be used in the fortress, about 1,000 units, most of which are of no rank."

"Is the equipment arranged in place?" Field nodded.

"The arrangements are in place. All members of our direct army are equipped with magic core staffs. Only a small part of the rest of the army is equipped. Armor has been distributed, and the soldiers responsible for combat, even the crossbowmen, are equipped with half-body armor."

Field calculated in his mind, including Rosaria's great swordsman and Ofili's corpse army.

A total of 2,000 garrison forces.

This does not include logistics, and he asked the incorporated people to be responsible for logistics and transportation.

"We have checked the city defense weapons, and most of them are intact. The side of the fortress facing the Bull Territory has relatively weak city defense. We removed some ballistas from the other side. Now there are 30 flame magic towers, 60 city defense ballistas, and a total of 12 small catapults."

"Very good, it's alreadyThat's enough. The fortress's contact area is small to begin with. The total contact area is less than 300 meters, which is enough for us to defend for a long time. "

Field smiled and nodded: "My guards will be transferred to serve as the supervision team. The rest of the soldiers will be divided into three groups and fight in turns."

Human soldiers have limited physical strength and cannot fight frequently. Dividing them into three groups can take turns to rest and restore morale and combat effectiveness.

"Blood sacrifice to the true God!"

"Blood sacrifice to the true God!"

"Roar, roar, roar! "

Field listened to the chaotic shouts of the rebels and the roars of the corpses outside the city, and came to the edge of the city wall.

The followers of the Shadow Cult knelt on the ground and prayed with their hands raised high. Under the leadership of the priests, they shouted loudly and muttered messy slogans.

The army they controlled was cutting wood to build camps, cooking and making siege equipment, while the rebel corpses stood by and roared. The enemy commander had an excellent control of the distance, and the rebels were just out of the range of the city defense weapons.

"By the way, there is one more thing to do before that."

He patted his uneasy heartbeat and took a deep breath: "We must take advantage of the enemy's failure to launch an attack and let our army accept the existence of the corpse army in the shortest time possible, at least they will not be scared to collapse. "

Human hearts are unpredictable. If the corpses and humans are allowed to mix together, chaos will soon arise, just like the defenders before. Even if the corpses controlled by Ofili are 100% reliable.

Thinking over it, Field called the mountain cat: "Without affecting the city defense, call as many people as possible to come to me. I have something to say."

Soon, most of the soldiers came to the open space of the fortress without knowing why.

The First Army maintained absolute discipline and waited quietly. The rest of the incorporated army whispered to each other or kept looking back at the outside of the fortress in panic, fearing that countless enemies would suddenly appear.

Field walked to the high platform in the center of the soldiers and raised his hands, and the soldiers' eyes gathered.
