Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 350: Stick Together

It was night, and the sounds of gunfire could be clearly heard from inside and outside the defensive wall. The cavalry squad of Storm City harassed them from time to time, causing the soldiers of the city protection squad to not let go of their guard for a moment. Only those Blazing Battle Soldiers could simply hold their guns and sleep in the shooting position to recover their mental strength. These warriors were all experienced veterans who knew when to rest.

Admittedly, the enemy could use cover of darkness to launch a sneak attack. However, as long as he stayed in several important positions, there was no need to worry. The heightened defensive wall made it difficult for the enemy to attack. However, the soldiers of Sur City hadn't fought any battles, and there were still quite a few new recruits inside. Naturally, they weren't as experienced as the Blaze Battle Soldiers.

In the camp office, Roy leaned against a chair and closed his eyes to rest. Lucy stood at the window and whispered, "Belmore has been gone for so long. Is anything going to happen?"

"Don't worry, miss. I know that guy very well. The night is his stage, but I'm worried that he will meet Lie Xinqi and miss the big event." Roy opened his eyes and said.

"Do I look like someone who doesn't care about importance?" Someone suddenly entered the office quietly. Belmond snorted and said, "Here's what you want. Take a look."

He took out something from his coat pocket and spread it on the table, but it was a scrawled map. However, it could be seen that it was Storm City's barracks. Belmond was originally doing reconnaissance work, and based on his observations, he had drawn up this sketch. The map clearly showed the camp's main tent, barracks, barracks, and stockpiling points. It could be seen that Belmond had put in a lot of effort.

'"Our forces are much weaker than the enemy's, and we're running out of ammunition for the Fire Fighting Rifles. If we follow the normal fighting style, as long as the enemy attacks us in the daytime for another two or three rounds, we'll have to prepare to break through the city and break out of the encirclement." Roy's fingers kept swimming on the map of Storm City's camp, pointing to the two places where the main tent and supplies were stacked for the longest time.

Finally, he stopped. "We have to destroy their supplies," Roy said, knocking on the spots. "Without supplies, they won't be able to fight a protracted war. The daily consumption of a thousand-man army is no joke. As long as they drag on for a day or two, they can only withdraw without supplies."

"I don't think they'll let us burn the supply points so easily. Miss Adele isn't here, so we can't just give them a flame bullet from afar like last time." "Don't be careless, Roy. I've seen it. They're very defensive. Especially the main tent and supply points. They should be marked on the map," he said.

"I know, so it's hard to distract them with feint."

Lucy frowned and said, "They have already used this move to bomb their position this morning. No matter how stupid the other party's commander is, he won't be tricked twice in a row, right?"

Roy laughed and said, "Of course. But in the morning, we were fighting on two fronts. Tonight, we were fighting on three or even four fronts.

He turned to Broy and shouted, "Get up and do your work, brother."

The Highlander grabbed the hammer and forced out a scorching stream of air from his chest. "I've been waiting for you for a long time for that," he said.

Roy quickly arranged for four teams, the first two of which were responsible for harassment. The third team's target was the supply point, while the fourth team used cover and acted as a soldier when necessary. It could be imagined that Mo Gu would be greatly troubled by the actions of these four teams. Just as they were about to set off, a soldier told Roy to go to the wall.

When they arrived at the defensive wall, they could see the flames in Storm City's barracks through the night. It was as if the other party was fighting someone. Roy narrowed his eyes. Beside him, Belmond said, "Could it be a trap, pretending to create chaos and lure us out of the city?"

"It's hard to say." Roy didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

At this moment, a hissing sound came from the wilderness. Something quickly pounced into the camp under the fire and sparks immediately splashed everywhere. Lucy used the sights of a sniper rifle as binoculars. From the sights, she could see that there were many fires in Storm City's camp. The soldiers were fighting with some wild beasts, and the one they saw the most in the flames was the snake. Of the various types of snakes, two were the most conspicuous. They were barrel-thick pythons. They rampaged about and occasionally rolled up soldiers and threw them into the sea of fire.

Apart from snakes, there were also wild boars with fangs and beasts that looked like lions and tigers. The leader was a large snake covered in black and white scales. The snake had a bone crown on its head, and a golden horn was exceptionally dazzling under the fire. The serpent swam like flying, occasionally bending its neck and growing explosively, using the horn of its bone crown to knock the attacking Raging Thunder Knights into the air, unable to form an effective formation.

Moreover, flames would occasionally flow through the snake scales around his body. Then, with a big snake's mouth, he spat out a fire dragon. The snake shook its head, and waves of fire flew about, burning everything in the camp. Amidst the flames, the snake seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction of the sights. Lucy was very familiar with the pale golden snake eyes. He suddenly remembered that the pair of snake pupils were almost the same as the white one.

"It's white!" Lucy pointed at the snake. "That's the snake that Alan raised!"

Roy was stunned. Belmond also cried out, "When did that thing grow so big?"

"That isn't an ordinary snake. It's the Black Twilight King Snake. White should have evolved. Hey, this guy is here to help." Said Lucy.

Roy nodded and said, "Alright, let's take this opportunity to make our move."

Mo Gu had never thought that the situation would turn out like this tonight. According to his original plan, he would use his cavalry squad to constantly harass the enemy's city defense. At the same time, the main force was allowed to rest and recover their spirits. They will launch a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning to destroy the city. Everything was going according to plan. Unexpectedly, a large number of ferocious beasts suddenly appeared from the wilderness behind the barracks. They suddenly attacked the camp, causing Mo Gu's arrangements to be in a mess.

Especially one of the unicorn serpents. This exotic beast's scales were thick and there were no traces of fire or spear striking its body. Only a captain-level Origin Energy infused sword could injure it. The giant snake was extremely powerful and could even spit out flames, causing Mo Gu to suffer heavy losses.

However, disaster never came alone. The enemy took the opportunity to launch an attack when the barracks was in a hurry over the sudden appearance of the beast tide. They first dispatched two teams to attack. When Mo Gu split up his forces to intercept them, the third team suddenly appeared from the night sky. Fortunately, Storm City had the advantage of having many people, so it wasn't enough to set up a mess for Sur City's rare soldiers.

However, Mo Gu did not expect that the third team would still be an empty move, even if it was made up of the Blazing Flame Battle Soldiers that Mo Gu feared the most. When Mogu thought that he could defend against Sur City's attack, the fourth squad led by Lucy quietly attacked the stockpile. This was a big surprise to Mogu. After witnessing the might of the Blazing Battle Soldiers during the day, Mo Gu focused his attention on them as soon as they appeared tonight. He hadn't expected that the Blazing Battle Soldiers would act as bait this time, leaving him unprepared for the fourth group.

Very quickly, Lucy's hands/lightning exploded at the supply point. When Mo Gu arrived, the soldiers were fighting the fire, but they had already brought ten to seven or eight supplies. The remaining food was not even enough for breakfast tomorrow. At this moment, Mo Gu realized that having too many people was sometimes a burden.

At dawn, the white-collar beasts retreated. Mogu took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Sur City. This attack was even more tragic than yesterday. Roy could feel Mogu's anger from the powerful attack from Storm City. Sur City defended with all its might. This time, even the residents of the city were mobilized. After a bitter battle, Storm City still returned without success, but the defensive wall of Sur City was also in danger.

Several sections of the defensive wall had collapsed under the fierce attacks of the enemy. Although urgent repairs were being carried out now, Storm City's next attack would definitely use this as a breakthrough point to expand the results of the battle.

Returning to the camp, Mo Gu ordered the soldiers to rest. At the same time, he also ordered the Raging Thunder Knights to return to Storm City and request for reinforcements. Roy expected Mogu to make such a move, so he arranged for Belmond to intercept him. However, Mo Gu had a good idea this time. He sent out five or six cavalry and set off on different routes. In the end, Sur City could not be divided among people. Even with an expert like Belmond in charge, a Raging Thunder Knight still managed to cross the blockade line.

In the next few days, Storm City's offensive slowed down. While Mogu continued to attack Sur City, he had no choice but to send some of his soldiers into the wilderness and forest to hunt down wild beasts to satisfy his hunger. However, this method attracted the attacks of Bai and other wild beasts. After leaving dozens of corpses behind, the hunting squad returned to the camp, and the food they brought back was not enough for a meal.

As a result, the soldiers of Storm City had no choice but to tighten their belts.

The scale of the battle slowly tilted. Mo Gu could only rely on Storm City's material support. If he couldn't wait for reinforcements, he could only choose to withdraw his troops.

As the battle gradually entered a stalemate, a group passed through the Wind Erosion Canyon and headed towards Sur City. Alan rode on his horse and recalled that when he passed through the canyon entrance, the original stronghold of Storm City was empty.

This was extremely unusual. Originally, he thought that there would be some small friction when he passed through the stronghold. But now, Storm City seemed to have withdrawn from this stronghold. What was going on?

Just as he was thinking about the possibility, the sound of horse hooves sounded in his ears. Alan raised his head, and Regis was galloping over on horseback. This fellow could not endure the loneliness of the journey, and he would always leave the team from time to time and run wildly. Ellen was also happy to let him be a scout. Seeing him run back not long after he left, he felt that things weren't that simple.

Sure enough, Regis came to Ellen's side and pointed forward, "Guess what I found there?"

"A team, a team from Storm City."
