A group of dwarf musketeers raised their muskets engraved with magic patterns.
There was even a dwarf warrior carrying a magic collecting cylinder on his shoulder, and two dwarf warlocks were standing beside him ready to charge the magic at any time.
"Wait a moment!"
Owen sensed a familiar presence coming from above and quickly stopped his subordinates who were on guard.
huff!
A huge griffin landed on the city wall, and several figures jumped down from the griffin.
After returning to her original form, Liz sat down on the ground, panting, with a layer of sweat on her forehead.
Ella wiped the sweat off her sister's face with some concern.
"It's you, An Nuo!"
When Ou En saw An Nuo, his expression looked a little better.
If Annuo and Camilla had not provided information about the blood sacrifice, Sagunto might have faced the coming of the true god and the attack of the dragon scorpion without any preparation.
Owen didn't dare to think about the casualties that Sagunto would suffer in that situation.
In this respect, Anno and Camilla helped Owen a lot.
"Lord City Lord, we must evacuate the city as soon as possible."
Anuo hurriedly walked up to Oen, pointed at the dwarf civilians passing through the city gate below and said, "After the young dragon scorpions devour corpses, they can quickly shed their skin and become stronger. If we delay any longer, we will be caught up by the dragon scorpions, and these dwarves will become the breeding grounds for the young dragon scorpions!"
"What, more than just parasitism?"
Owen's face turned dark, he had not expected that the dragon scorpion could not only host living organisms and transform with the help of the living organisms' magic power, but could even use corpses!
"This is the fastest evacuation speed now."
After hearing what Owen said, Anno ran to the city wall and looked down.
The cold wind howled in the winter night, and the huge crowd below was huddled together anxiously.
There was a chaotic mess of soldiers maintaining order, cursing, praying, and children crying.
"No, the efficiency is too slow. The most advanced troops of Dragon Scorpion are estimated to be less than two kilometers away from here. If we continue like this, we will simply die!"
An Nuo glanced around, then walked to Owen's side and suggested to the city lord: "City lord, relying on the city gate alone is too slow, let's blow up the city wall!"
"Blow up the city wall!"
Owen's pupils shrank slightly.
As the lord of Sagunto, he knew very well that blowing up the city wall meant completely abandoning the city of Sagunto.
He had thought of this thought a few minutes ago.
But he hadn't made up his mind yet and just placed his hopes on the two god hunters.
If Joseph and Melipu defeat the true god of the underworld, they will be free to save Sagunto.
But now that this plan was brought up by Annuo, Owen immediately made up his mind.
"The battle between gods will definitely not be decided in a short time. The dwarves of Sagunto really can't wait until that time!"
As soon as Owen said this, Corisi, the captain of the guard, immediately stood up.
“City Lord, there are a large number of city defense weapons on the outer city wall, which are our greatest reliance in the battle against the Dragon Scorpion.
If a gap is blasted in the city wall, it may become a breakthrough for the Dragon Scorpion to attack the city wall!
Once the dragon scorpions conquered the city walls, Sagunto would be completely destroyed.
Less than a month had passed since the demon invasion, and the dwarf towns on the border were counting on Sagunto's aid to survive the winter.
Giving up Sagunto now would mean giving up the entire border!
I, Corisi, am willing to lead the suicide squad to stop the dragon scorpion and buy time for the civilians to evacuate.
Then let the troops use the city wall's defense weapons to fight the dragon scorpion."
"We are willing to follow General Corisi to stop the Dragon Scorpion!"
Many dwarves nearby knelt on one knee and petitioned Owen.
Anno looked at these dwarves and just reacted.
When we retreat tonight, there will be no time to carry the supplies with us.
There were 70,000 to 80,000 dwarves escaping from Xicheng District alone. As Dongcheng District was the battlefield of the gods, the number of dwarves escaping was estimated to be very small, but there were tens of thousands of dwarves escaping from both the north and south districts.
At this time, no town on the border had the capacity to accommodate 100,000 or 200,000 refugees.
Rather, after the Strider incident, most of the border towns depended on Sagunto for their survival.
Giving up on Sagunto at this time would be no different from suicide.
At the very least, before aid arrives from the royal city, countless dwarves will starve to death!
Owen looked at the dwarf soldiers around him and ordered the kneeling Korrisi, "Korrisi, take the magic tube artillery team to the unknown area 500 meters on both sides of the city gate and blast a gap in the city wall for civilians to pass through!"
Corisi said anxiously: "But..."
Owen interrupted Korrisi and said sternly: "Captain of the Guard, follow the order!"
"Yes, sir!"
After accepting the order unwillingly, Corisi shouted behind him: "Artillery squad, follow me!"
An Nuo walked up to Owen and apologized, "Lord City Lord, I didn't think this matter through!"
"No, thanks to you I was able to make up my mind!"
Owen did not look down on Anno just because he was only level six. He pointed at the fire in the city and explained the reason.
“Until now, I haven’t gotten the exact number of dragon scorpions, but it’s been confirmed that there are 60,000 to 70,000 of them!
Sagunto sent out part of his troops to guard the border town, and the number of troops in the city was less than 40,000!
Even if we rely on the weapons on the city defenses, we can only delay a little longer.
After all, the east city wall was lost from the very beginning!"
There was no barrier in the battle between the Dragon Scorpion God and Leopold.
When they exert their full strength, every move they make has the power to collapse mountains and split the earth.
Dongcheng District has completely turned into a purgatory-like scene.
Huge pits dozens of meters deep are one after another, and cracks hundreds of meters long crisscross.
As for the east city wall, it had long been knocked down by the body of the Dragon Scorpion God.
"Anno, thank you for not leaving Sagunto yet!"
Lord Owen gave Anno an unnatural smile and said, "Although I appreciate your contribution to Sagunto, I still hope you can leave Sagunto now. A genius like you is a treasure of the entire Six Nations Alliance and you must not die here!"
"I value my life very much. I will definitely be the first one to run away when I see danger."
As An Nuo spoke, he put on the helmet, took out the Frost Fang, looked at the buildings collapsing on the street in the distance, and said slowly: "However, before I run away, I will try my best to kill some monsters to improve my strength."
Owen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved!"
Boom!
Accompanied by several loud noises, the city wall shook.
Five hundred meters south of the city gate, a gap several dozen meters wide was created in the city wall under the attack of the artillery squad and Corisi.
Korisi and the artillery team came to the north side of the city gate again.
While guiding the dwarven civilians at the city gate to leave Saguntor through the broken city wall, Owen began to send a troop to block the dragon scorpions two streets away from the city gate.
The various cannons on the city walls had already been turned around, with their muzzles pointing towards the city.
"Lord Owen, this is my summoned creature. Please let it stay beside you."
Anno left behind a summoned creature to serve as a coordinate. If he encountered danger, he planned to use the summoner skill [Teleport] to return to a safe area.
However, the use of [Teleport] is limited to within 500 meters. To get back to the city wall from two streets away, one needs to transfer once.
Once the fight begins, Annuo can absorb a large amount of dragon scorpion souls.
Forget about the low-level ones, but mid-level souls can be used to improve the quality of skills.
In summary, Annuo wanted to take advantage of the dwarves' attack on the dragon scorpion to make some money and contribute his own strength at the same time.
