    The current tavern was originally enveloped in a solemn atmosphere, which was the sense of urgency before the demon army gathered outside the city and was about to attack the city with all its strength.  However, after the drinkers turned their attention to the group of people laughing heartlessly at the table here, they no longer felt worried.  The organist was just about to try to play a pleasant tune when the piano next to him started playing cheerful music.  The poet put away the sad "Dragon War" and replaced it with the comic poem "The Downtrodden Journey of the Downtrodden Knight".  The tavern owner was still sighing behind the counter, but the sight of a Leitening man's face being pressed tightly by a pair of big leather boots really didn't allow him to smile again.  The table fell on a lion-man's chest, and the wine glass rolled beside him

    Even the most famous burlesque performer cannot imitate such a scene. The most he can do is put two pieces of lion's mane on his chin and put cardboard against his throat.  Shiluo kicked the table over, but it harmed little Orava lying under the table.  The young man overturned the table with his strong arms, intending to teach the orc a lesson, but his foot slipped and knocked down the paladin Roland.

    Pure drama was taking place at this time, and the tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.  When the first person is amused by them, the second and third people also start laughing.  The universal language in the world should not be Rite, but smile.  Although some people still pretend to be serious and do not want to show their cheerful side.  But now that everyone has the joy of God¡¯s Day on their faces, how can they be an outlier?  There were even drinkers who happily threw their wine glasses to the ground, making a pleasant sound.

    Jessdown's worn-out staff could not survive such a dangerous performance, so he put the staff aside with the foresight, then quietly sneaked to the counter, took a bottle of wine, and drank in the corner.  Drink by yourself.  Fortunately, the tavern owner's eyes were fixed on a young girl with red cheeks, and he didn't pay attention to Jestang.

    Bert and Lear were side by side, drinking and eating meat together.  In their words, "seize the peace and enjoy life."  The two may have different opinions on other matters, but there is no disagreement on this point.  A nobleman threw a wine glass, and the glass flew past Bert and Lear's eyes, and then hit the ground at the entrance of the tavern.

    At the same time, a pair of military chain boots stepped hard on the sunlight coming in from the outside, causing an area to be covered in shadow.  The glass happened to hit the top of the boot and immediately shattered into pieces.

    "What big thing happened at the 'Flaming Hearth' today?" The soldiers who walked in looked at the show in the tavern in surprise. "Gentlemen, I swear on five copper coins. I walked three blocks and six taverns, only '  The people in the Flame Hearth are full of optimism. Let me think about it, Ansello's birthday has not come yet, and Pluto has not come back I can't find any reason for you to be so excited."

    "I think you came in here not just to say this." Roland looked at the soldier with a smile.

    "Well, of course." The soldier scratched his head in frustration, "Actually, I have only been in the army for three months, and everyone calls me a 'recruit'. Maybe this is because I still have a lot to say even when I am on a mission.  's sake. But this is inevitable, who can stop a Zogedoma man from speaking loudly? The custom in our hometown"

    "Let's get to the point, sir." Bastanay struggled to remove the shoes from his face, raised his head and shouted.

    "The demons have begun to attack Hubu City. I hope every Atak man will be prepared, City Lord Gerdo Nossa." Only then did the soldier realize his mission. He took out a piece of parchment from his arms and shouted loudly  read.

    "The siege has begun!" Bert picked up the bloody giant sword, "Let's go out and have a good fight."

    After the soldier finished reading, he hurried out.  At the same time, a group of brave heavy cavalry galloped through the streets, and the rumble of horse hooves struck everyone's heart.  Then, more light infantry were running along the street in front of the tavern, and the queue of heavy infantry soon took their place. Soon after, two heavy dragon-killing crossbows were slowly marching on the street. Finally, many magicians and priests  March calmly.  Mobilizing the army means the beginning of a battle, and a large number of troops means that the battle is not beneficial to one's own side.  Every Atak person has the heart to protect his family and country. Seeing this scene, everyone's blood boils.

    "Go back and ask His Highness the Second Prince for instructions, and then we go to the city wall to deal with the demons!" Jestang shouted, "Let's go together."

    Everyone quickly gathered together, dusted themselves off, lined up on the street, and ran neatly to the manor purchased by Larov.  On the street, many people holding weapons and wearing armor walked out of their homes and ran to the barracks, hoping to be selected to become temporary mercenaries and become a part of the bloody battlefield Become a member of the Patriotic battlefield.  Member!

    The entire Hubu City was shocked by the cohesion of the Atak people.

    In front of Larov Manor, the mercenary team has been sorted out.Finished and ready to go.  Rarov rode his war horse and pointed his long sword at the approaching Jestang and others, and then pointed at the team, signaling them to return to the queue immediately.

    When he was about to set off, a messenger rode up on a high-speed war horse and handed Raloff a piece of parchment. Then he left quickly without even having time to salute. He still had many tasks and could not delay for a moment.  The second prince opened the parchment scroll and quickly browsed the contents. After understanding the meaning of the words inside, he decisively ordered: "Go to the south wall. Our task is to defend a section of the wall."

    He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I don't care where you come from, no matter your background, no matter your ideals - now, we are all part of the powerful Atak Legion, for me or for this country  Fight for glory. Now, I command you, follow me and move forward. Atak! Atak! Atak!"

    At this time, the southern city wall was undergoing a fierce attack. The Demon Legion did not strike hard in all four directions, but consciously dispersed its forces to reduce casualties.  "Thunder Beast IV" is constantly bombarding the city wall. The giant energy shells can not only effectively cause cracks in the city wall, but can also lift the soldiers on the city wall away with air waves, causing them to fall from the city wall more than ten meters high.  Faced with such a special attack, the defense commander had to put the soldiers with their backs against the city wall, several by one, to resist the shock wave of "Thunder Beast IV".  At first this tactic was effective in reducing the casualties of Atak's army, but later it became less than ideal.

    Strong demon lords can climb the city wall without ladders. They lead a large group of intermediate and low-level demons to start a wall battle with Atak's army.  During the bloody battle between the demons and the Atak Legion, ordinary demons also put ladders and siege towers on the walls of Tiger Step City, trying to climb up the walls and use their swords to get to the city and the life-saving supplies inside.

    The devil is not easy to deal with, and Atak's army was severely damaged.  The little devils are hard to guard against, and the big devils are not something ordinary soldiers can resist. In addition, various weird creatures such as hellhounds, succubi, and gargoyles emerge in an endless stream. Atak's army lacks experience and loses them in the first place.  Many good soldiers.

    Fortunately, the city defense facilities were not damaged. With the roar of dragon crossbows, the splashing of boiling oil, the shooting of arrow towers, and the effectiveness of various mechanisms, the first wave of demons' offensive finally failed to break through the south wall.  They threw down the corpse of a demon lord, as well as a large number of middle and low-level demons, and about four hundred demon soldiers were buried on the wall.

    On the Atak army's side, the losses were even more severe, with about two thousand soldiers killed.  The power of the demon lord was really terrifying. The soldiers were killed by various means, and their deaths were horrific.  Many body parts were scattered on the city wall. The logistics soldiers collected the dead and the scattered flesh and buried them in the military cemetery.  Those whose names are recognized will be given a peaceful resting place.  The incomplete fragments whose names could not be identified were piled together so that they would have companions to accompany them after death.

    "Right here." A young soldier with a broken arm led Larov and the others to the western half of the south wall. There is an arrow tower and a fixed dragon-killing crossbow. Once it falls into the hands of the demons,  That would be bad.

    "Your Highness, please come back to the military camp with me." The soldier wanted to salute as a habit, but found that his arm was broken, and his remaining limbs were still trying to make a military salute.  He smiled shamefully, then saluted with his other hand and ran down the wall with Raloff.  High-ranking nobles like His Royal Highness must not stay on the battlefield for a single second.

    "Our mission is here." Bert poked his head out of the crenel, and the darkness outside was filled with the demon army.  He could even see the other person's dark skin and bloodthirsty eyes.  "Thunder Beast IV" is particularly conspicuous. They are scattered like small hills among the demon army.  The tall demons are as eye-catching as the "Thunder Beast IV". Any one of them will pose a huge threat to the city.

    Gargoyles and banshees hovered in the sky, their hands stained with Atak blood.  The air superiority belongs to the demons. Of course, the Atak army also has its own air force, but it lacks excellent riders.  The violent and untamable Coorg Eagle can certainly become a nightmare for enemies, but only the most skilled handlers dare to face such a huge beast.  There are fifty Coorg eagles in Hubu City, and there are at least a hundred gargoyles. The Ataks will suffer heavy losses in aerial combat.

    "I hope we will have more companions." Bert retracted, "Everyone knowswell, more companions, better defense. Our dismounted heavy knights, as well as heavy infantry, and crossbows  hand."

    "What you wish for." Jestang pointed to the other end of the city wall, where a group of about 150 soldiers hurried over. "About fifty dismounted knights, fifty infantry, and fifty  famous bowhand.  "

    "I'm confident." Bert clenched his fists, his eyes burning with the desire to fight.
