.Chapter 2040

2040 At wit’s end _1

The death of the leader of the spell casters meant that the group had no leader, and the camp collapsed rapidly like a mountain.

The spellcasters and soldiers who were bombarded by the artillery had irrepressible fear on their faces. They ran toward the forest behind them without hesitation.

Even if the forest was equally dangerous, they could no longer care. They only wanted to leave this terrifying purgatory battlefield as soon as possible.

Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that one day, they would be beaten so miserably by desperators who regarded them as rats on the battlefield.

However, how could it be so easy to leave? how many people could survive a real life-and-death battle?

The moment the fleeing soldiers entered the forest, the monster that was intimidated by the gunfire and did not dare to come forward immediately rushed out and blocked the soldiers ‘escape path.

In the face of these huge and brutal monsters, the fleeing soldiers had no ability to resist at all. They were easily torn apart and devoured.

Compared to being bombarded by artillery, the scene of monsters hunting for food was actually more bloody and cruel.

Wails rose up from all directions. At this moment, those soldiers who were fleeing really had no way out.

No matter if he advanced or retreated, he would still die.

Seeing this, the horned helmet and the others did not show any pity. On the contrary, they were happy.

In the past few days, this kind of thing had happened more than once to the despairing people. They had fled in all directions when they were chased by the soldiers. When they had no other choice, they had to hide in the forest. It had happened almost every time.

The officers and soldiers would even deliberately force the desperate into the forest, and then let out wild and proud laughter when they heard the screams coming from the forest.

It was like a cat toying with a mouse, watching the despairing person fall into true despair and then die helplessly.

This was indeed the case. Most of the despaired people who entered the forest basically never returned. Only a few of them could escape with injuries all over their bodies.

As time passed, the hatred between the two sides grew deeper and deeper, to the point where it was irreconcilable.

That was why the despairing would watch the other party die without lending a helping hand. They might even push the other party into the abyss of death.

After a few minutes, the sounds of gunfire slowly died down, and the forest by the side of the road had become a mess.

As far as the eye could see, there were broken trees and big pits everywhere, and flames and smoke kept rising.

Under the loose black soil, there were countless corpses buried, and the pungent smell made people want to vomit.

The horned helmet carried a battle sword and led a group of men to the area of the explosion, looking for those who were not completely dead.

He was not trying to save the prisoners out of morality, but he was worried that there would be people who were not completely dead and would launch a sneak attack when they were unprepared. That was why he had cleaned up the battlefield to eliminate the hidden dangers.

During this period, when he encountered a fellow that he couldn’t save, he would casually add a stab to let the other party free earlier.

If there was still a possibility of being saved, they would be tied up and dragged to the road, piled together with the soldiers who were previously captured.

Whether they could survive or not was entirely up to luck. No one would treat their wounds anyway.

The bombarding of the city gate also stopped at this moment, because there was no more explosion.

The buildings near the city walls and streets had been completely turned into debris, and it was unknown when the lingering smoke would dissipate.

If they continued to bombard at this time, it would only be a waste of ammunition, not to mention that the armored artillery vehicles could not withstand it.

The battle outside the city had ended, but the city was in chaos.

Someone had been observing the movements on the battlefield. They had planned to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but they did not expect to witness the complete annihilation of the spell caster leader’s Army.

While they were shocked, the observers quickly issued a warning to prevent the soldiers in the city from rushing out to die.

The soldiers in the city, who had not received the signal to attack for a long time, were shocked by the battle report. They could not believe that this was the result.

No one had expected that Tang Zhen’s group would be so terrifying. They had actually easily annihilated a group of over two thousand people with just a few hundred desperators!

The dozens of spell casters, including the leader of the spell casters, did not hurt them at all. How strong were these desperators?

At this moment, these soldiers also experienced the feeling of despair. When they thought of the scene of the city full of monsters at night, their bodies began to tremble.

Even ants would cherish their lives. Facing the threat of death, no one could remain calm. They would try their best to keep their lives.

This was especially so for the remnants of the kingdom of God. They were already used to the protection of the city walls. Without the city walls, it was equivalent to them losing the support in their hearts.

That kind of feeling of fear and uneasiness was simply difficult to describe with words. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was like an ant on a hot pan.

Perhaps from this moment on, the residents of this city had already begun the countdown to their lives?

“No, I can’t allow this to happen. I have to think of a way!”

After learning that the leader of the spell casters had been defeated, the castellan was shocked and immediately ordered the construction of a new temporary city wall.

The city was built along the streets, and the buildings on both sides could be used as walls.

The city gate that Tang Zhen had destroyed, to put it bluntly, was blocking both ends of the street and not allowing the monsters to rush into the street.

At a critical moment, it was not impossible for the entire city to build a temporary wall in a short time.

However, there was a prerequisite. Tang Zhen would not continue to attack. Otherwise, this plan would not work.

Regardless of whether it was feasible, he had to try.

With an order, the residents of the city were quickly mobilized and piled up gravel and logs on the street.

Anything that could be used to build a wall was used, and they couldn’t care less at this critical moment.

The scene of the entire city being mobilized was naturally very spectacular, but the hearts of the city’s dignitaries were unusually heavy.

By absorbing the energy from the God’s stone, these runic magic circles could intimidate monsters and make them not dare to touch it easily.

The arrangement of such runic magic circles was extremely complicated and required a large amount of time and resources. The main task of the spell casters in the city was to repair and maintain these runic magic circles.

The only person in the city who could set up a runic magic circle was the leader of the spell casters. However, he had already been blown to pieces by the cannon.

Although his disciple was also capable of setting up runic magic circles, he could not be compared to the leader of the spell casters in terms of quality or speed.

This was also what the castellan and the nobles were worried about. There was no way to set up a runic magic circle on the temporary wall. It was still unknown whether the temporary wall could stop the monsters.

&Nbsp; perhaps under the Attack of the Monsters, the walls would not be able to last long and would be destroyed again.

Just as they were feeling worried, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky above them, and a terrifying cannon strike descended again.

The building materials used to build the wall were ruthlessly thrown into the sky, and the residents who participated in the construction of the wall were also swept up.

With a deafening sound, the crowd on the street was sent flying, and the road was covered with the wails of the dead and injured.

There were people fleeing everywhere. They didn’t dare to stay any longer, afraid that they would be torn to pieces by the terrifying artillery fire.

This was a true millstone of flesh and blood. Whether or not one could survive in this tide of death was entirely up to one’s luck.

In the continuous bombing, the temporary city wall that had just been built was blown up again. The terrifying scene of the city gate being bombed earlier was repeated at this moment.
