Chapter 91 Fortress
This temporary lonely city has been besieged for four days. Just four days ago, several spider monsters as tall as buildings suddenly appeared behind the city, cutting off their passage from the city center, surrounding the city, and constantly launching attacks.
"This city was originally a fortress built specifically to resist the spider monster. It is at the forefront, but if there is no supply from the rear, we will not last long." The person who spoke was the major with the highest military rank here and the general manager here. His face was very gloomy. He originally thought that Haoren was a reinforcement sent by the headquarters, but now it seems that he was thinking too much.
"How many people are left here?"
"This is a stranglehold, and people die every day, so I don't know how many people are left." The major sighed slightly: "There were more than 200,000 more than ten days ago, and later the dead and those who ran away, there will be no more than 20,000 or 30,000 people here now."
Haoren felt aggrieved: "Where are the residents? Have the residents nearby evacuated in time?"
"Most of them have gone away, and some of the people who failed to evacuate in time have fled to this city." The major paused and asked unwillingly: "Are you really not the one sent by Riesling? There are still tens of thousands of people left here, and they should come to save us, right!"
Haoren's lips were bitter, "I don't know that Lei Jun, but do you think how many people do you need to send to save tens of thousands of you?"
The major was stunned: "These spider monsters have high levels and strong combat power. If they are troops with a combat power of more than one thousand, they will have at least tens of thousands of people. Well, I think I haven't said it."
The cruel facts were placed in front of him. It was impossible for Lei Jun to send more people to die for the sake of just 20,000 to 30,000 people. Moreover, on the way Haoren came, he had already seen a large number of architects stepping up the construction of new fortresses not far from here. It seemed that Lei Jun planned to completely abandon the defense of the southern region and rebuild the second line of defense.
After a moment of depressed, the major quickly recovered as usual. He glanced at Haoren, shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have come here. Let's leave quickly before the spider monster has broken through here."
"What should you do?"
"We?" the major laughed at himself, and then said solemnly: "We won't sit still and wait for death. I plan to prepare well in the past two days and then organize everyone to break through. One can go, one is the other!"
They were still in the city these two days, just holding the last trace of slim expectations, thinking that someone would come to rescue him, and Haoren's arrival undoubtedly broke their last hope.
While speaking, a noise suddenly came from the top of the city, and someone exclaimed: "The spider monster is attacking again! Damn, those big guys have also taken action!"
The major didn't bother to talk to Haoren, and immediately turned around and began to set up defenses loudly. Hundreds of people rushed out quickly, holding their staff and bows and arrows in their hands, and climbing to the top of the city.
Haoren raised the wings of the God of Fire and flew into the air. The spider monsters were slowly moving towards the city wall. The giant spiders kept spraying green mucus onto the seats at the city. As long as they were trapped by the mucus, even the heavy armor of the warrior would be eroded in just a few seconds, and they had to quickly remove the corroded part and throw it away.
As for the mages and archers, once they are spit out on their arms, they can only be amputated immediately, otherwise this extremely corrosive mucus will melt the whole person into dry bones!
Haoren watched with his own eyes a wailing archer was cut off by someone's right arm, and then the priest used healing techniques to stop bleeding and restore life. The spell of the broken limb reconnection existed, but the priests are all too low to learn such a high-level healing spell.
The attack distance of other spider monsters was not enough, so they hit the city wall wrapped in black iron metal, and even if they were bleeding, they ignored it. The impacts over the past few days also lost a great loss of durability to the city wall.
The major shouted something loudly at the top of the city wall. Dozens of soldiers carried a few big shots and poked them onto the top of the city. The lid opened, and a strong smell of gasoline spread. The big buckets of gasoline poured down the city wall, pouring the spider monster under the city over black.
"Master ready!" the major roared loudly.
The soldiers put down the oil barrels and raised their shields to resist the corrosive slime that was attacking the sky for the mages behind them. The mages waved their staffs and sang spells clearly.
Several firewalls of more than two meters in diameter rose under the city. With the addition of gasoline, the flames suddenly rose. The storm of the wizards subsequently cast the fire to rise again, turning the entire city wall into a vast sea of fire.
The mage level here is quite high, and the firewall technique can be a silver-level skill.
Haoren also waved the hilt of the sword and slashed the vacuum blessed by the flame sword energy into the blazing sea of fire. The leaping flames were like cheerful elves, constantly licking the spider monster in the sea of fire, and an unpleasant charred smell spread in the air.
No more than 30 minutes before leaving a charred corpse, the spider under the city finally retreated temporarily. It was not true to say that it was retreating. In fact, the spider tide only stayed at a distance of one hundred meters away, which was basically outside the attack range of the mages.
"I finally understand why you can last for four days under the siege." Falling back to the ground, Haoren breathed out, admiring the major a little.
The major sighed: "Stop silence me. There is not much gasoline in the city. If you don't use this method, it will be difficult to stop those crazy spiders!"
Haoren is not going to leave for the time being, so he asked the major to help him arrange a residence. Even if there is only a last glimmer of hope, he plans to find out whereabouts of his parents here.
The conditions in the residential area are very simple. After all, it was built in a hurry and hastily. There are only a few beds in the room, and there are at least seven or eight people in each room. Although electrical appliances such as lights are installed, they are not turned on now.
"There are generators here, but gasoline is short, so the power supply is simply limited." The major explained, and found several rooms in succession, which were filled with people and the smell was not good. He apologized: "Sorry, I originally wanted to find you a separate room, but it seemed that the room was not enough."
The major could see that Haoren is a heroic profession with strong combat power. Ordinary people do not have the ability to fly. They dare to go to this city that will be broken at any time alone. This courage also made the major admire him.
"Don't mind, just find me a room."
The major thought for a while and smiled, "Then find you a larger room. There is only one person living in it for the time being, and it is also a heroic profession!"
Following the major to the last floor, pushing a brighter room open. Haoren walked in, looked at the boy lying on the bedside and resting with his eyes. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm still an acquaintance, so thank you."
"Jiang Junqing, we are really destined to be together, we can meet all of this." Haoren looked at the incredible Berserker boy with a smile.
