Every once in a while, a magical beast that can explode will fall from the sky.

Soldiers in the explosion range will be killed or injured if they are slow to react or fail to activate their protective skills!

Moreover, it seemed as if the attacks from the sky could clearly see the positions of the soldiers.

Each time, it will be directed towards the most densely populated group of people.

Although each bombing would only kill a few unlucky guys.

But anyone can be unlucky.

But Gavin could do nothing about it.

No one in the entire military camp can fly.

Among the soldiers of the hunter profession, there are quite a few who have tamed flying monsters.

But they are not strong.

As soon as they took off, they were killed by summoned creatures such as Giant Eagle Beast and Griffin.

After losing their only air combat capability, the entire army could only watch the monster bombs falling from the sky from time to time.

Gavin had thought about leading his troops away from this place and hiding in a forest.

But marching at night is not easy, and there are no forests in the surrounding area.

As the troops began to move, the number of bombs in the sky suddenly increased.

Originally there was a wave every half an hour, but now there is a wave every three or two minutes.

The soldiers' casualties increased sharply.

In this case, it would be better to stay where you are and wait for the explosion.

The soldiers were in a state of fear, always on alert for attacks from above, so they had no time to sleep.

As the sky grew cooler, the soldiers who had not slept all night suddenly discovered that the attacks from above had finally stopped.

But all the soldiers had tired faces and bloodshot eyes.

Even Gavin seemed a little depressed.

Half of the attacks in the second half of the night were directed at him.

Although he dodged or activated protective skills to block the damage every time, he was still very disgusted.

"Renault! This must be your method!"

Gavin looked in the direction of Valkham and gritted his teeth and said, "Is this your last resort? Hahaha, it's useless!

Hundreds of people were killed or injured in one night.

Now you have no recourse.

Since you are also a noble, I was going to give you a dignified death.

But now, I will let you suffer and die!"

Gavin hated Renault in his heart.

Although he didn't know how Renault had carried out the attack last night.

However, the attack, which was mainly harassment, also indirectly showed that Renault had run out of options.

"Sir, shall we rest now, or march?"

The deputy general who came over asked cautiously.

"Rest? Do you think a team of 3,000 people needs to win in a perfect state against 500 people?"

Gavin looked at the deputy general with a gloomy look and said coldly: "Let all the soldiers go now, I want to arrive in Valkham before the morning.

Then, attack!

Dare to play with me like this, I can't wait to trample that old man Renault under my feet."

"Yes!" The adjutant knew that Gavin was angry and did not dare to disobey the latter's orders.

But just as he turned around to give orders, he saw a mercenary running hurriedly from a distance.

"Report... Report to you, sir. A large number of soldiers have appeared ahead. Judging from the patterns on their flags, they are Valkham's soldiers!"

"What?"

Gavin's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible.

It is still twenty kilometers away from Valkham.

The other party didn't defend Valkham to the death, but actually dared to come here to fight?

"How is this possible?"

Gavin didn't believe it at all.

But by this time it was already bright and the view was unobstructed.

On the horizon a few hundred meters away, there were indeed a large number of blurry human figures.

"All troops are ready to meet the enemy!"

Upon seeing this, the deputy general immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

The soldiers with red eyes around them pulled themselves together, organized their formations, and pointed their weapons at the troops rushing forward.

Boom boom...

As the troops rushing in front got closer, surprise appeared in the eyes of the soldiers around Gavin.

Didn't they say Valkham only had 500 soldiers?

But the number of soldiers in standard armor rushing towards him seemed to be over a thousand!

That's fine.

Three thousand against one thousand, it's an advantage no matter how you look at it.

But who are those professionals next to the Valkham soldiers?

The number must be over three thousand!

“What a joke!”

Gavin rushed to the front of the team and looked at the flag with the Renault family emblem held high on the opposite side, as well as the unknown flag flying in the mercenary team. He couldn't help but cursed inwardly: "Where did all these people come from? Was the intelligence sent back by the spies sent over before all false?"

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The deputy general looked at Gavin and had the idea of ​​retreating.

Their troops had a forced march all day yesterday, and were already exhausted, and then they were bombed all night.

Valkham's troops were obviously well prepared and all of them were in high spirits.

Moreover, the opponent's numbers and intelligence are not up to par.

The numbers on both sides are now equal.

If a fight breaks out, who knows who will suffer!

"What else can we do? They are already here, are they going to let us leave?"

Gavin drew the greatsword from his waist and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers of Gray City, kill the enemies ahead, and endless wealth will be waiting for you!"

"Oh!" the soldiers responded weakly.

Look at the opposite side.

Viscount Renault, who led the battle personally, raised his sword and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers, defeat the enemy ahead and protect our city!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Thousands of soldiers roared in unison.

Among these soldiers, half were new recruits recruited by Renault from among adventurers - there were always some professionals who preferred to be noble soldiers rather than adventurers.

Viscount Renault turned to look at the adventurers led by Anno and said, "Adventurers, I'm counting on you this time too!"

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Thousands of adventurers raised their weapons and rushed forward followed by thousands of soldiers.

Most of these people are at the first level, and there are only a few hundred at the second level.

But when they rushed forward, they felt that their qualities had improved by almost 30% compared to before!

Everyone feels as if they have endless power at this moment.

"Annuo, fighting on the plains will result in far more casualties than defending a city!"

Renault looked at the soldiers and adventurers rushing forward, and said to Anno beside him: "Although I said that I must establish my authority in this battle so that I can smoothly take over Gray City later, is it necessary to do this?"

"Don't worry, I have already investigated the strength of the soldiers in Gray City, and they are not a big threat!"

An Nuo glanced at Liz beside him and said with a smile: "You just need to hand over the command to me temporarily!

After all, the reward you paid to the Adventurer's Guild this time totaled thousands of gold coins.

No matter what, we have to be worthy of this price!"

Anno looked at Renault with a smile, then told Liz to protect Renault, and he rode the griffin to the battlefield.

When they arrived at the center of the battlefield, the soldiers of both sides were still hundreds of meters apart.

“It’s you!”

Gavin, who was at the rear of the troops, saw Anno riding a griffin and his teeth clenched.

This griffin appeared more than once last night.

Gavin pointed at An Nuo and ordered his third-level subordinates around him: "Go kill him!"

"yes!"

Several people took the order and immediately rushed towards An Nuo.

An Nuo, who was in mid-air, saw that the soldiers from both sides were about to collide, so he jumped down directly from a low altitude.

As soon as he landed, a volley of magic fired by the magicians led by Geng Qingxue passed over him and fell towards the opposite side.

The magician of Gray City was also about to release magic, but suddenly a shrill scream sounded in the sky.

All the magicians felt dazed for a while, and then the magic was interrupted.

"Harpy!"

Someone spotted the harpy flying above and cried out in surprise.

But then, a series of explosions sounded ahead.

A large number of soldiers from Gray City were hit by magic.
