C145 It's a Matter of Life and Death
Right now, Qingtian didn't have to worry about how to take these people away. He opened the Cosmos Sack and formed a seal. With a swoosh, all 2000 people were taken away.
Because there were many small spaces in the Cosmos Sack, Qingtian wasn't afraid that the things inside would conflict with each other. Otherwise, if these 2000 people were eaten by those three Ninth Level Devil Beast, they would be finished.
Riding on Ray, Qingtian thought that it would be better to help them first. "Just now, Novi told himself that the empire is facing enemies on both sides. The south side is the two armies led by grandfather fighting against the four armies of the enemy's allied army. Although the situation is not good, it has always been a small victory. They did not suffer any losses. In the north, his father and the bearded general were guarding the Gruul together. However, it was said that there were no mages. They had already fallen into a bitter battle. It was only a matter of time before they lost the battle. It seems like I have to go and help father first. "
As he thought, Qingtian flew towards the north." I hope that my father will be able to defend the Gruul before I arrive. "
At this moment, the Gruul City was already on the verge of collapse. At the last moment, Stuya and all the soldiers fought with their lives on the line for a long time before they managed to protect the city.
"Damn it! Why didn't the empire send mage group over? Why did they hide here and let them bombard us? How could they defend it? " Stuya was extremely furious. He slammed the table violently in the room.
"Alright, alright. This is something that we can't do anything about. The Duke had to face the attack of two countries, and the south was a plain. Naturally, he is at a disadvantage. We are defending the city here, so the pressure is much lower. It's only natural for us to send the mages to him." The bearded general was physically and mentally exhausted as he tried to persuade him.
"Sigh! Of course I know that, but there's no way to defend it if it's always like this. We've sacrificed too much. Moreover, the city wall can't withstand their repeated ravaging. It's already in tatters. After several crises, no one can guarantee that they won't charge in the next time we attack." Stuya was helpless. A clever woman could not cook without rice. When faced with the strength of the enemy mages, he had no choice but to give the initiative to the opponent time and time again. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before Gruul fell.
"I know that too, but the empire has issued a death order: Gruul must be defended. If it falls, although we can return to Xigang Mountain, the location here is too important. We won't have the chance to take it back in the future. " The bearded general was also under a lot of pressure. The other side was aggressive. They were determined to get this place, and the higher-ups had ordered them to guard it. If they failed, everyone present and all the soldiers would die here.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they had no idea. All the generals present did not have any constructive suggestions for the current situation, but they could not be blamed. The situation was right in front of them. What they could do now was to defend. The only thing they could hope for was for the Empire to send reinforcements in time.
Just as everyone was still at a loss of what to do, bad news came one after another: The Menes's army on the opposite side launched another attack, and judging from the situation this time, it seemed like they were going to launch an all-out attack. Not only did they send out all the siege chariots, but they also gathered all the soldiers in front of them. mage group had already started chanting.
Stuya stood on top of the wall, frowning. The current situation was not good for them. As long as the enemy mages attacked, the city wall would definitely fall. Judging from the enemy's stance, they had to take this place down today. Even the tents had been torn down. It seemed like they wanted to stay in Gruul tonight.
"Brothers! Did you see the movements of the enemies below the city? Did you see it? They were delusional enough to conquer this place, but they actually put away their tents. This behavior is clearly an insult to the incompetence of our Art's soldiers, today... We will repel their attack together, do you have confidence!?" Stuya's words struck out the courage of the Art soldiers. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly. They looked at the soldiers of Menes below the city with burning anger.
But sometimes, even if you have great ambitions, in the face of great strength, you would still appear weak and powerless. The enemy's mage group would be the first to explode. Earth and fire magic were cast at the same time. After the mages used this magic, almost everyone's faces turned pale. It could be seen how much strength they had expended. However, the city wall of Gruul was the one that suffered the disaster.
Although the city walls that had experienced several battles were being repaired every day, they were still unable to withstand the terrifying magic attacks. They finally couldn't hold on in front of the powerful earth magic and collapsed!
Seeing this scene, Stuya's face had already turned pale. Now his biggest reliance was gone, and all the soldiers were exposed in front of him. It could be said that this was a naked battle, and Gruul was no longer a city.
On the contrary, the soldiers of Menes were wild with joy. The city wall that had troubled them for so long no longer existed. They could charge in without any hindrance. They didn't even need to use the siege chariots that they had prepared beforehand, and the difficulty was much lower. Moreover, the other party was in the city, so there was no way for them to escape. Everyone charged forward excitedly, as if victory was right in front of them.
Lys also revealed a smile. Although he had been around for so many days, it would still be a victory in exchange. The Gruul was going to be reclaimed. Next, they would be able to attack Xigang Mountain and enter the territory of Art.
"There's no other way. I can only face my opponent head on now." Looking at the soldiers around who had almost lost their confidence because of the collapse of the city walls, Stuya shouted, "Brothers, we have no way out. As long as we kill all the enemies in front of us, we can guarantee the safety of the empire and our family. We cannot hesitate any longer. Let's kill!" With that, he took the big sword and rushed over first.
All the Atlanta soldiers rushed out. They knew it. There was no point in guarding the city now. It was better to fight to the death with the enemy. This way, there was still a glimmer of hope for victory.
Just like that, it was supposed to be a siege battle. But now, because of the opponent's mage advantage, it turned into a head-on confrontation. Although this was the scene Stuya least wanted to see, the reality had already happened. He had to brace himself and face it.
At this moment, the Gruul was like a large mixer. However, stirring was indeed the life of countless soldiers. Some of them had just killed their enemies, and before they could rejoice, their chests were pierced through by the spears that came after them. Some of them had already lost their heads before they could even see their enemies' faces. Some of them had better martial skills, even though they had killed a few in a row. However, they had been killed by even more enemies at the same time. For a moment, the battlefield was like hell on earth. Several lives were lost at every moment.
"No, my people are obviously weaker than the other side, and I'm not confident enough right now. If this continues, I'll be defeated sooner or later." Stuya looked at the scene on the battlefield anxiously.
However, at this critical moment, Art's savior arrived. The emergence of Sky High had changed the situation of the entire battlefield.
