Chapter 2243 () The Apostles Hunting Feast (2)(1/3)
In this way, after several trips, the strongholds, villages, towns, mines, etc. in the four directions of east, west, north and south outside the City of Holy Light, especially the three directions of north and southeast, were successively attacked and suffered heavy losses and casualties!
Although the angry Gus, Shirji and Farnese had been working hard to catch up and support, in the end, they only killed three to four hundred apostles and saved dilapidated villages, camps and strongholds.
, and got nothing.
"call!"
Phew! Phew!
Breathing heavily, after running around for almost a whole day, and now it was almost dusk, Gus was a little exhausted. Of course, he was more tired in his heart.
"Shirji?"
"Is this the first place we have been attacked?"
Looking at the dilapidated southern border stronghold in front of me, looking at the hundreds of defeated soldiers and broken walls that were originally guarding the border fortress camp that originally guarded at least a thousand soldiers, I just saw the last remaining remnant in the camp.
Gus, who had been cut into pieces by the apostle, was seizing the time to rest while asking the witch Shirji bitterly as he landed.
"fifth……"
"No!"
"This is already the sixth one."
Looking at the mess and countless corpses on the ground, Witch Shirji couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness and helplessness flashing across her face.
"Gus!"
"We are really too passive..."
"It's not okay to be led by the enemy like this all the time. Let alone a human being, even a giant dragon has a bit too much physical strength."
Seeing the giant dragon behind him that landed on the ground and was panting and unwilling to move, Shirji knew that continuing to run like this was not an option, so he couldn't help but say something like this.
"..."
After hearing Shirji's words, Gus first closed his one eye in pain, and then after a while, he suddenly opened it and pointed at the corpses around him and sighed:
"Of course I know we can't do this, but..."
"You saw it too."
"We are the only mobile support force!"
"If we don't come, none of these people will survive. What else can we do?"
Looking at the surrounding soldiers who were searching for survivors and treating the wounded among the broken eaves and broken walls, and looking at their frustrated and demoralized faces, Gus could only say with a sad smile and gritted teeth.
"..."
Hearing this, Shirji didn't know what to say, so she could only stand aside silently holding her big wand.
"call!"
"alright."
"Next..."
"The enemy will probably attack the forest farm to the west of us, right?"
Immediately afterwards, after taking a breath, Gus picked up his black giant sword, which was now bloody and stained with the blood of the apostles and internal organs, and then hung it directly without caring about the filth on it.
After hanging it on a hook on his back, he turned to look at Shirji and said with a wry smile and a sigh:
"Let's go!"
"Although I may not be able to catch up, but..."
"I have to go after all."
"how?"
"Did the enemy touch the new barrier?"
At this time, just like his huge black sword that frightened the enemy, after chasing and fighting all the way, his whole person became as if he was fished out of blood. His whole body was dyed red, and his hair was also stained.
The blood was sticky into strands and solidified together, making him look particularly scary when he smiled.
The reason why Gus became like this is of course because at least two to three hundred apostles were killed by the black giant sword he carried on his back.
"have no idea……"
"I haven't sensed any signs that the magic barrier in the forest farm to the west has been touched or destroyed..."
"Do we need to go now?"
As she said that, she turned to look at her giant dragon. Although Shirji was also a little distressed, thinking about the enemy's attack route from the north to the east and then to the south today, she also felt that the opponent's next move
The place to be attacked is very likely to be the large forest farm in the west.
Therefore, Shirji didn't mind chasing after them now and seeing if he could intercept the group of at least several hundred attackers and the cunning minotaur monster 'Immortal Zuod' in advance.
"certainly!"
"I have to catch them!!"
"Just today!"
Thinking that he had been wandering around for a long time today, and that the number of casualties of his own soldiers, villagers and miners had probably exceeded three to four thousand, Gus didn't even think about it, and gritted his teeth and spoke firmly.
"Farnese!"
"hurry up!"
"We're ready to go!"
"Let Shirji send a message on the way and ask the Paladins, Serpico and Asan who are about to arrive here to turn around."
"Let's continue chasing to the west, and we must annihilate all those apostles before dark!"
"They can't run far!"
Since such a high price has been paid today, and since the large forces have been mobilized, no matter what, they must completely annihilate each other and obtain a result that satisfies everyone.
Otherwise, their City of Holy Light will never have peace from now on!
When the time comes, let alone fight against the evil Griffith and those "Hand of God" demons in the south, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for them to continue to survive in this world. That's Gus no matter what.
No matter what, I don't want to see it.
"don't want!"
"Wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, surprisingly, Farnese, who was also tired and covered in blood, ran over quickly and firmly refused Gus's order just now.
"Gus!"
"I find……"
"We were fooled!"
With that said, without waiting for Gus to speak and say something, following Shirji's puzzled gaze, Farnese took out a map she carried with her and spread it out in front of the two of them.
"Look!"
"This is now the southernmost part of our City of Holy Light territory, and it is also the farthest away from our city!"
"With this distance, even if it's a giant dragon, it would take at least two or three hours to fly back. Isn't that right?"
"And our reinforcements..."
"Serpico and Asan's troops are not fast, they should still be here and here!"
"As for the other group of thousands of Silver Hand cavalry, they have been running for a day and are exhausted, so they should still be here now."
"Although they are the closest to the City of Holy Light, if they want to rush back, with their horsepower, they will only need more time than us, let alone Asan and Serpico!"
Farnese did not care at all about the blood of the apostles still remaining on his body. He just pointed at various places on the map with his slender fingers, and also left scarlet bloody handprints on them, clearly showing
Gus and Shirji marked the approximate location of the three of them and the reinforcements.
"so……"
"Gus, now do you understand our situation?"
"When we all thought about surrounding and annihilating that group of enemies, we were led by them to mobilize them instead!"
"Their next target should be here!!"
"so……"
After saying this and tapping a certain position in the middle of the map with his finger, Farnese had no intention of continuing. He just retracted his hand and looked at Gus and the tight-knit man whose expressions were also gradually becoming a little ferocious.
Shirji and the two frowned and looked at each other.
Before, they all naively thought that the group of apostles only wanted to destroy and surprise the surrounding strongholds and camps, and wanted to consume and bring down their City of Holy Light, but now it seems that the other party's purpose is not just that?
The other party's appetite is not just to exhaust them and destroy the villages and towns surrounding their city, but to completely destroy their city and the territorial city they rely on for survival - the City of Holy Light!
And if their city is really rushed in by hundreds of thousands of apostles and wreaks havoc and massacre, even if they finally succeed in annihilating or driving away the other party, in that case, they will basically be finished and will never be around again.
Any hope of competing and confronting the city of Falconia!
To be continued...
