Chapter 397 A tragic victory
Days passed in the intense preparations, and the atmosphere in the alliance became more and more solemn. The noise of monsters gathering in the valley in the distance was getting louder and louder, as if a storm was about to come.
Shen Mo would personally climb the city wall every day, observing the situation in the distance, constantly thinking about countermeasures in his mind. Qingfeng was busy integrating the troops coming from surrounding forces, grouping and training them to ensure that they could fight together in battle. The female general repeatedly checked the city defense fortifications, not missing any possible weak links.
Lin Yuwei and the magicians guarded the magic circle day and night, constantly adjusting and optimizing the energy output of the magic circle to ensure that it could exert its maximum power at the critical moment. Su Yao and her medical team practiced the process of treating the wounded over and over again to ensure that every wounded person could be treated quickly and effectively in battle.
One morning, just after the sun rose, a sentry suddenly blew the emergency horn.
"Monsters are coming!"
The alarm instantly broke the peace of the alliance, and everyone took action quickly. Shen Mo climbed up the city wall as soon as possible, and saw a dark mass of monsters in the distance rushing towards the alliance like a tide.
"Get ready for battle!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
The soldiers held their weapons tightly and stood ready. The archers drew their bows and aimed at the approaching monsters. The catapults and crossbows were also ready to fire.
The monsters were getting closer and closer, and their hideous faces were clearly visible. Some of the monsters were huge, like hills; some of them were incredibly fast, moving at lightning speed.
"Shoot!" Shen Mo gave the order, and thousands of arrows were fired from the city wall, shooting at the monsters like locusts. Catapults and crossbows were also fired at the same time, and huge stones and crossbow arrows whizzed towards the monsters. For a moment, screams came from the monsters.
But the monsters did not retreat. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to rush forward madly.
Qingfeng led the vanguard to meet the monsters and started a fierce close combat. He swung his sword among the monsters, and each blow brought great power, killing the monsters one by one.
The female general commanded the soldiers to fight on the city wall, her voice was firm and powerful: "Don't panic!"
Lin Yuwei and the magicians activated the magic circle, and powerful magic lights shot towards the monsters. Some of them froze the monsters instantly, while others caused huge explosions, causing considerable casualties to the monsters.
However, there were too many monsters, and the alliance's defense line gradually came under great pressure. Some monsters broke through the defense line and rushed into the alliance.
"Follow me!" Shen Mo led a team of soldiers and rushed quickly towards the monsters that broke through the defense line and started a desperate fight with them.
On a street, a huge monster was wreaking havoc, destroying houses and buildings. A young soldier bravely rushed forward, but was knocked to the ground by the monster.
"Damn it!" Shen Mo arrived, leaped up, and stabbed the monster's eyes with a sword. The monster felt pain and waved its claws wildly. Shen Mo dodged flexibly, looking for the monster's flaws.
Finally, he found the monster's weakness, stabbed it with a sword, and the monster fell to the ground with a bang.
"Come on everyone, we can hold on!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
On the battlefield, fierce battles were going on in every corner. Soldiers fought bloody battles with monsters, no one retreated, no one gave up.
Su Yao and the medical team were busy in the rear, constantly carrying injured soldiers into the temporary medical tent for treatment.
"Hold on, it will be fine soon!" Su Yao's voice was full of encouragement and comfort.
A soldier was seriously injured. On his deathbed, he grabbed Su Yao's hand and said, "We must win..."
Su Yao nodded with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, we will definitely win!"
The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were exhausted. However, the soldiers of the alliance always held their ground with their tenacious will and firm belief.
At this moment, a horn sounded in the distance. It turned out that the reinforcements from the surrounding forces had finally arrived.
"We are saved!" the soldiers cheered.
The support troops penetrated into the monster group like a sharp sword, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
With the joint efforts of the Alliance fighters and support forces, the monsters began to collapse and flee.
"Don't let them run away, chase them!" Shen Mo ordered.
The warriors took advantage of the victory and pursued the monsters, driving them far away.
When the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the battlefield, the battle finally ended. Monster corpses and broken weapons were everywhere, and the land of the alliance was stained red with blood.
Shen Mo looked at the tired but victorious warriors, his heart filled with emotion: "This is a tragic victory, but we have defended the alliance and our homeland."
The warriors cheered and hugged each other. They knew that this was only the beginning and that more challenges would be waiting for them in the future. But they were fearless because they were the warriors of the alliance and the hope guarding peace.
