Chapter 327: A Big Trouble (Part 2)
The defenders on the city wall looked at their colleagues who had retreated from the front line as if they were looking at a lunatic. They knew that these people had lost miserably, and they thought As long as you take a good rest, you can become an elite soldier again.
Now it seems that it is not easy to go home and farm, and everyone is almost mentally ill from fear.
The defeated army in the city howled and ran away, and the flames spread. The guards and people who rebelled took the opportunity to chase the Subian Demon King's army and beat them up. There was also a white dragon and a clay giant going berserk in the city.
More importantly, the city lord and officers and staff in the castle could not be contacted.
It's all chaos, it's all chaos.
Looking outside the city, Princess Viola's army was still tapping their shields calmly, as if they were passers-by watching a show and didn't care about the situation in the city.
No matter how much she showed she didn't care, the defenders couldn't go down the city wall to maintain order in the city.
Originally, the defenders were full of confidence and it was impossible to break through the open city with Viola's small force. However, now the pressure is on the defenders' side.
Should he continue to glare at Viola on the city wall, or should he send some people down to maintain order in the city?
No matter how you choose, who will bear this responsibility?
For a time, the defenders were unable to advance or retreat on the city wall.
During this dilemma, there was a commotion near another gate in the distance.
Open City is an octagonal structure, and each wall has a gate connected to a road.
Viola blocked the door on the northeast side, but this time the accident happened on the northwest side.
Immediately I saw messengers riding close to the city wall and coming to report the news:
"Report! Someone opened the door privately. Although it has been blocked, the winch room is still in the hands of unknown armed men!"
Just after listening to the report, I suddenly felt the city wall under my feet shaking slightly.
The door on their side also seemed to be opening, and the soldiers behind the door quickly tried to block it.
But this was not an isolated case. Using a telescope, one could see that the eight gates of the city were opening one after another. The beacon towers above the city gates were lit one after another, and everyone requested support at once.
Even the southernmost gate was opened by the Subia Demon Kingdom's own people. The frightened and defeated army desperately wanted to escape.
Outside the city, Viola's army remained motionless, as if the situation in the open city had nothing to do with them.
The light beam that moved slowly towards the city wall immediately turned into a strange blue-purple color after disappearing for a short time. Although it still did not have the terrifying lethality of crushing houses or incinerating living people it was exposed to, the color The sudden change also brought huge psychological pressure to the defenders.
What if people are lethal when they move to the city wall?
We are all living targets standing on the city wall!
Now the defenders, who were in a dilemma, began to waver.
Mortals are creatures that like to follow the crowd. If on a road full of people, a few people suddenly start running forward desperately, others will follow suit unconsciously even if they don't know what is happening.
The frightened and defeated army had already forced open the south gate and fled. Under their influence, the defenders who had no problem with their morale began to panic.
What's more, the clay giant moving on another main road next to the white dragon advancing on the main road also came towards the city wall. Combined with the light beam falling from the sky, this feeling of oppression was not the slightest.
Finally, under psychological pressure, the defender general gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Block the door, let's retreat!"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Panic began to spread throughout the city like a plague, and people who had been suppressed for months spontaneously took to the streets to participate in the grand event.
The flames were raging, engulfing houses and residences, and beginning to spread like chaos. But at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, making everyone's ears numb.
Dark clouds covered the clear night sky at a speed visible to the naked eye. The moonlight of Sullun, the goddess of the moon, disappeared instantly, replaced by large sheets of rain falling from the dark clouds.
It's December now, and the open city is also in the north of the mainland. Even if there is precipitation, it will definitely be snowing. Such abnormal rain will freeze into ice when it falls on the ground.
Precisely because of the sudden rain, the flames that had begun to spread in the city were effectively controlled and even extinguished in many places.
After all, it is only wood that burns, not oil and other flammable and explosive items.
But this kind of completely unseasonal rain made the panicked army even more panic-stricken.
The last time they saw this kind of abnormal weather was outside Qihang City. At that time, fire, filth, and poison rain fell from the sky. Images of their colleagues dying screaming in the flames, acid, and toxins kept appearing. Playing back before your eyes.
So even if it was just ordinary rain, the defeated army was still running without thinking about their backs, as if they were being chased by wild dogs.
Just when the order of the open-door city was in chaos and almost collapsed, Isaac arrived nearby riding a gryphon.
He happened to see countless soldiers without clothes running out of the south gate of Kaikai City like crazy. He also saw the dark clouds hovering just above Kaikai City, and he immediately understood what was happening.
In his arms was a handwritten edict written by Demon King Samantha, requesting the army to withdraw from Open City and return to the Demon Kingdom of Subia.
As a result, even if he used the teleportation array to return to the border fortress of the Demonic Kingdom of Subia and then rode the gryphon back at full speed, it was still a step too late.
Now it can no longer be regarded as a retreat, it is completely a rout.
He immediately lowered his height and tightened the reins of the gryphon. The strong wind rolling up his wings and the sharp cry of the gryphon could not wake up the fleeing soldiers from their fear. They would even desperately knock away Aisa who was trying to stop them. Gram, and fled into the darkness outside the open city without looking back.
The retreat was to preserve strength, but with the retreat now like this, it is really difficult to say how many people will be left when everyone calms down, and how many people will be able to return to the Subia Demon Kingdom without food and clothing. .
Isaac, riding a gryphon, spotted a man who looked like an officer during the push and grabbed him immediately.
"Reorganize your troops quickly!"
The officer turned a deaf ear and his dilated pupils seemed to have no focus at all.
Isaac throws him away and finds the next one, and the next one!
No one will care about his words, no one will even recognize him. Fear is entrenched in their hearts and has taken up an absolute proportion.
If Isaac is a priest and can use divine magic, he can use the power of another god to temporarily stabilize the army.
But alas, he is not.
Even if they are priests, none of the gods have made any response now. It seems that except for the priest of the Demon King God, all the priests have lost the gift of God.
Demon King Samantha had such a big reaction after hearing that Demon King God returned, probably because she thought of the possibility of this situation.
An absolute tyrant who does not allow any voice of resistance, and a princess who is full of revenge and has been forced to a desperate situation.
With their alliance, the future begins to become unclear...
