Chapter 529: The Northern City Shrouded in Flames of War

Chapter 522 – The Northern City Shrouded in Flames of War
The city defense forces that arrived with heavy equipment didn’t change anything in the face of the monster-like enemy, all they could do was to let the artillery that came along with them to directly fire and blow up everything, whether it was their own people or the enemy, or to use cluster grenades to cause some hindrance to the enemy, where life became as expendable as ammunition.

Limited troop strength, coupled with the gap in combat power, Jeanne d’Arc could only use the most rational thinking to utilize every life to the extreme, can be sacrificed, but must die a worthy death, only then can support a longer period of time, only then can the city not be subjected to destruction.

Being transported over to the chaos warriors more and more, Jeanne d’Arc gripped the flag will be their own magic power into defense power, added in the Templar body, as the main force of them can not die now, no matter what kind of enemy they face, now need to hold on to them.

Good thing that the city defense army has received strict training in alleyway warfare, and is not afraid of death, able to use all the conditions to block those monsters from breaking through, or else hundreds of Templars alone simply can’t block it.

Thankfully this is the northern city, not only soldiers, equipment is not lacking, with the continuous mobilization of the rear, more and more combatants arrived, infantry guns, tanks, even the town’s treasure of the eighty-eight millimeter anti-aircraft guns have been moved, especially the latter, this thing, even if it is a Templar Knight frontal to get hit by a shot have to lie down, not to mention Chaos Warriors.

At this time, the helicopter gunships also replenished their ammunition and fuel to support them, the six-barrel machine guns were generally ineffective against the large-sized Dread Dragon, but they were still a threat to the Chaos Warriors and the Flesh and Blood creatures, not to mention that they could also load some bombs to be thrown down directly.

A large number of heavy firepower without fear of fire, together with the enemy was destroyed building range is gradually expanding, both sides are investing more troops, and continue to consume, the cruelty of war in this place embodied to the fullest.

In order to avoid hurting innocents, Maya mobilized a group of grassroots administrators to brave the flames of war to guide the evacuation of civilians in the war zone to a safe area, the current situation is not bad enough to treat them as expendable afterthoughts.

Because it was a systematic transformation of the population, the operation was very smooth, no delay, no tug of war, not to mention no disputes, everyone simply gave up all their belongings, carrying only a small amount of food and water, a large number of civilians climbed out of the cellars or air raid shelters in the war zone, helping each other and evacuating with the injured, very efficient, which also avoids attracting the monsters and causing even more casualties.

Although Jeanne’s defense line had not collapsed, it was impossible to stop all the monsters, not to mention that there were also evil professionals with strange abilities, many of which had already entered other urban areas.

This was also the reason why the Templars had only come in hundreds, and why as many as tens of thousands of city defenders couldn’t come in a single breath, they needed to eliminate these unstable elements and maintain the safety of the city.

In fact even the Roots and the Sisters were involved, otherwise the North City would have been in chaos long ago.

It was because of the efforts of these people, although the scale of the war continued to expand, plunging the long-peaceful North City into the flames of destruction, except for the warring areas, the other areas were very calm, everyone was doing what they had to do, reinforcing the defenses, cleaning up the ruins, and rescuing the injured, there was no panic, no fear.

Adult males silently took up their weapons and joined the patrols, filling the gap created by the departure of the city defense forces, and once they found Chaos Warriors and Evil Professionals, they would use their lives to stall for time until their own Super Soldiers arrived.

The women had the heavier task of taking care of the elderly, the children, and the sick, as well as cooking, cleaning, bandaging, and even cleaning up the rubble, all of which they were required to do, and which only the meticulous women could do so well.

Because of this concerted effort to maintain order and stability, Maya was able to mobilize the forces of the North City to the maximum extent possible, otherwise where would the constant flow of reinforcements have been able to fill the battlefield.

But there is always good news, Maya finally waited for the castle’s response.

Jeanne d’Arc’s application for support from the Thundering Herd had long been passed on, but there had been no response for a long time.

For one thing, there was no direct order from Owen, so it was up to the Thundering Herd to decide whether or not to attack.

Secondly, the invasion of the North City has put the Thunder Guards on alert, so they won’t move out easily. Thirdly, there are already a lot of evil professionals mixed into the north city, in order to avoid the castle was invaded, the Thunder close guards are fully concentrated on guarding the castle.

To the Thunder Guards, the importance of the castle was above the North City, which was also the reason why it was difficult for them to mobilize.

But they still had to listen to Maya’s orders, at least until Owen took back his command.

But mobilizing the whole army was impossible, even Maya wouldn’t make such a decision, because if someone took the opportunity to invade the castle, even she wouldn’t be able to accept it.

However, the Thunder Close Guard had just finished partially changing their uniforms, just in time to be put into actual combat for testing, but after all, it was new equipment, and it would take some time for debugging.

While the battle on the ground was filled with fire, the dungeon remained calm, although there were a few small mice that were lucky enough to mix in, but this was also the beginning of their misfortune.

It is hard to describe how big the underground city is nowadays, because as an underground transportation hub, it connects many important cities and locations in the territory, and even undertakes many functions such as scientific research, training, production, defense, and so on, and its complexity is far above that of the North City.

But don’t think that the large size makes it difficult to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, in fact, just the countless traps and mazes are enough to make any army collapse, not to mention that this is also the headquarters of the Roots and the Sisters, and there are other messy things that even Owen has forgotten about, which are also a huge threat to the invaders, such as poisonous snakes and slimes, and magical plants that act as landscaping plants.

Even Roots didn’t know how many vipers there were in the dungeon, and how many varieties had evolved over time, at least as psychic beasts, which could not be consumed.

As for the Slimes, Root only knew that there was a Slime Kingdom under the territory, but it was unclear how big it was there, because the Queen of the Slime Kingdom was Owen’s God, it was not something that they could control at all, and they only knew that the health and service of the whole dungeon was taken care of by the Slime maids.

With these two groups in, the entire dungeon is no dead ends, there is no fluke, all the intruders were found in the shortest possible time, and the next thing is an intruder’s road to survival.

Ethan felt that his entry into this place was a complete mistake, although he instinctively felt that there was great wealth hidden here, but how to obtain it and how to survive was the biggest problem.

“Hell no!” Kicking off the viper that had crawled onto his shoe, Ethan was disgusted by this.

He wasn’t afraid of snakes, because there were too many snakes here, no matter where he went and what he looked at, he could always find twisting and crawling vipers, and even snakes would fall down from time to time.

But strangely enough, these vipers were not aggressive, lazy, and many times ignored his existence.

After hesitating for a while, between the number of problems, Ethan did not take the initiative to attack, but focused his energy on finding the exit, but this place is really too big, he walked for such a long time, not to mention the exit, he did not even see the same scenery, that is to say, he did not turn around in place, and was still in the periphery of this huge underground complex, which made a trace of despair arise within his heart involuntarily.
