"The city walls must not be lost, otherwise there will be no chance to turn the tide."
After clarifying his thoughts, Hendrika sent all the dwarven musketeers waiting in his territory to the north city wall.
Anti-aircraft firepower has been greatly enhanced.
The Alien Dragon was forced to retreat, suspending its airdrop of exploding insects.
"Hold on! Hold on for me!"
"Musketeers, stand up and fire!"
"No retreating, or you will be killed without mercy!"
"If the city walls are breached, everyone will die!"
Hendrik held a double-barreled musket, his eyes gleaming with unparalleled madness.
Just as a dwarf musketeer turned around to run down the city wall, he was riddled with bullets.
"Take one step back, and you're dead!"
"Kill all these insects, and we'll have a chance to survive!"
Hendrik was hysterical, screaming loudly.
The battle raged on.
The cockroaches have advanced to within 100 meters of the city wall.
Under the combined attack of elemental arrows and dwarven musketeers, the swarm suffered some casualties.
The Hydralisks' relentless barrage of fire never ceased.
Once the dwarven musketeers on the city walls show themselves, their chances of dying skyrocket, resulting in heavy losses.
Three minutes later.
The cockroaches advanced to the edge of the city wall.
The explosive insects rolled forward, quickly weaving through the gaps between cockroaches, and began to blast open the north gate.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A series of huge explosions rang out.
The dwarf guards on the city wall felt the ground shake and their bodies sway, making them unable to stand steadily.
"Fire at the enemy attacking the city gate! We must not let them break through!"
"Dwarven berserkers, bring up stones, logs, and hot oil! Let these damned insects taste what it's like to be crushed and burned to death!"
"Bear Cavalry, prepare to charge!"
Hendrik stood within his territory, gazing at the swaying city gate, his face grave.
As long as we launch a counterattack from the city walls, the scales of victory will still tip in our favor.
The premise is that the city gates cannot fall.
Outside the city wall, cockroaches gathered together.
They are bulky and not agile enough to climb the city walls.
So, they used the thick, heavy carapace as stepping stones to allow the springtails behind them to rush up the city wall.
Sharp claws and pointed fangs.
The springtails wreaked havoc, unstoppable by anyone.
The dwarf musketeer was not good at close combat, and he was terrified, retreating repeatedly.
The dwarven berserkers had just carried stones, logs, and hot oil up the wall and were crowding together with the retreating musketeers.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
The dwarves trampled each other, fell off the city walls, and countless people were killed or injured.
"Stay calm! Don't panic!"
"Dwarven berserkers, get to the front! Musketeers, shoot the crawling bugs, kill them all!"
"The city gates are still in our hands; the enemy's main force can't break through!"
Hendrik roared and attacked the springworms on the city wall with his double-barreled musket.
The next second.
The Queen of Blades leaped onto the north city wall, stepping on the cockroach's shell.
The bone wings swept across, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
Like harvesting wheat, the dwarven berserkers fell in unison.
His eyes shone with purple light, and a psychic shockwave emanated from his body.
The dwarf musketeer in the distance clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground in agony.
At the same time, a steady stream of springtails surged onto the city walls.
Hundreds of dwarven berserkers stood at the front, wielding their battle axes, and engaged in a fierce battle.
Drops of blood flowed down, pooling together to stain the white stone city wall crimson.
The alien dragon leaped over the city walls and hurled exploding insects into the enemy's territory.
Explosions rang out one after another.
It was like a beautiful piece of music, steady and rhythmic.
The dwarves were blown to pieces, screaming in agony.
Buildings collapsed one after another, raising clouds of dust that blurred Hendrik's vision.
"How...how could this happen?"
"Why are these insects so strong?"
"Integrated air-ground warfare, who can withstand it?"
Even if we repel the enemy, my territory will be severely damaged and unable to recover!
"Damn Chinese!"
I will kill you with my own hands!
Hendrik gripped the double-barreled musket tightly, a deep resentment rising in his eyes.
A relentless barrage of exploding insects launched an attack.
The city gate became dilapidated.
The next second.
"boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly occurred.
The city gate was blown to pieces.
The nearby city walls collapsed with a deafening roar.
A large group of dwarves were affected and died on the spot.
Stone fragments and severed limbs flew everywhere, creating a spectacular scene.
[Warning: Lord Hendrik, your territory is under attack!]
[Warning: The city wall is severely damaged; farmers are working tirelessly to repair it!]
[WARNING: Six buildings have been completely destroyed and are beyond repair!]
[Warning: Sensor signals indicate that the swarm is breaching the defenses!]
[Warning: Territory integrity is decreasing!]
90%
80%
70%
[Warning: City gates destroyed! Large sections of city walls collapsed!]
[Warning: Territory integrity has dropped to 50%!]
Alarming red warning messages kept popping up in Hendrik's eyes.
All I could hear were explosions, screams, and wails.
Hendrik was stiff all over, sweating profusely, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was ice cold, and he felt as if his blood was beginning to freeze.
"The city gates have fallen..."
What should we do now?
"No! We can't hesitate!"
"We must abandon the territory and survive first!"
Once you become a full lord, if the Land Stone is destroyed, the territory will be destroyed.
However, the lord himself only loses his lordship status; he does not die.
Hendrik ran at full speed and opened the south gate.
What came into view were hundreds of springtails baring their fangs.
Looking in both the east and west directions, there are hundreds of springtails guarding each direction.
Immediately, his face turned pale, and he felt his breathing stop.
Damn it!
"They've blocked my way; there's nowhere for me to escape!"
"This lord of the Dragon Kingdom clearly wants to kill me!"
Huge cockroaches swarmed in through the north gate and the breach in the collapsed city wall.
Hundreds of springtails leaped down from the city walls and approached the territory.
Hendrik retreated to the center of his territory and gathered all the scattered dwarven musketeers around him.
"Dwarf Bear Cavalry, charge!"
At this moment, he placed his last hope on this new force.
"roar!"
Two hundred bear cavalrymen brandished their long-handled battle axes and charged forward.
The cockroach stopped in place, its muscles contracting and relaxing rapidly, and acidic saliva gushed out.
The acidic saliva formed a green wave.
After making contact with the enemy in front of you.
Whether it was the dwarven cavalry or the black bear they rode, their fur, skin, flesh, and bones were instantly corroded away, bubbling with green.
In a very short moment.
None of the 200 bear cavalrymen survived; they all perished on the way to their charge.
Hendrik shuddered, his body trembling with terror, and despair rising in his eyes.
