Those arrows did not need to be aimed at all, and the undead in the distance were easily ignited by the cotton cloth soaked in kerosene on the arrows.

Obviously, people in the world of Faerûn are no strangers to the undead. They know that shooting them with ordinary arrows is to equip them with nothing. Therefore, what they shoot are fire arrows, which can ignite and destroy the undead while also providing them with equipment.

It can burn the arrow shaft in time to avoid being pulled out by the undead and used again.

When the undead began to take action, the two black dragons in the sky also began to swoop down.

While they opened their mouths and screamed out bursts of dragon roars that could make people panic from the bottom of their hearts, they also kept lowering their height, as if they wanted to use their poisonous burning breath, which black dragons are best at, to burn the city walls.

garrison?

Fortunately, Neverwinter seems to be well prepared!

Whizzing!

Just when they descended to a certain height, a series of huge winch-bed crossbows shot at the two black dragons that were swooping in the sky, shooting the huge three-sided arrows like spears that had been prepared for a long time.

But unfortunately, due to the timely and agile avoidance of the two cunning black dragons, most of those giant arrows failed. Although a few of them almost passed through their bodies and left conspicuous marks on their scales, the black dragons

After all, they are one of the most terrifying creatures in the world. They have unparalleled strong bodies and tough scales. The giant arrows of the defenders will be difficult to cause effective damage to them as long as they do not hit the weak points directly.

Forget about those stray arrows.

However, that did not stop the defenders from having the courage and determination to fight against the dragon.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Therefore, with the terrifying sound of breaking through the air and the sound of huge crossbow strings, more giant crossbow arrows were shot into the sky, forcing the two black dragons to turn around and regain altitude and stay away from Neverwinter.

The walled area of ​​the city.

At the same time, the heavy crossbow arrows falling in a parabola were quickly planted outside the city, either nailing a string of undead to the ground, or simply directly piercing deeply into the streets or streets inside the city.

In the house, the reserve troops who were preparing for battle in the city were greatly frightened.

"..."

After staring at the two cunning black dragons for a while, he found that their desire to attack was not strong. He just tried it out and flew back to high altitude. Although Edkin was deeply concerned about the opponents that he had missed in the past few rounds,

Shooting in the air was a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to look elsewhere.

At this time, a fierce battle scene was being staged on the city walls of Neverwinter City.

Almost every defender is constantly attacking the undead army in various ways. They use various weapons and spells to bombard the undead who are building ladders and climbing the city wall under the city wall, and sometimes use catapult handles.

Huge stones were thrown at the enemy, and sometimes fire oil and water guns were used to spray out fire oil and burn it, turning the groups of undead under the city wall who wanted to climb up the city wall using the sea of ​​corpses tactic to ashes one by one.

Edkin saw that the battle situation reached its most difficult moment almost instantly. Almost the entire southern wall of Neverwinter City was shrouded in fire and smoke. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was burning the undead.

Or the undead are burning them.

But there is no way, because he knows that to deal with the undead, flame is one of the few and most effective means that even ordinary people can possess. Compared with letting soldiers fight with the undead and cut off the enemy's head with their lives,

He felt that it would be more efficient and faster to burn it directly with fire.

But...

Soon Edkin discovered with some despair that as time went by, the number of the undead army crowding under the city wall became larger and larger, and the pile of corpses under the city wall became higher and higher.

The distance between them is getting shorter and shorter.

If this continues, in less than half an hour, the following undead will almost be able to rush directly to the city wall, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

What worries Edkin even more is that in the distance, those organized red-robed wizards are constantly casting all kinds of vicious spells, spells and curses, causing their Neverwinter defenders to quickly fall into a huge trap.

In the midst of a crisis, their limited spells and priests could not suppress those terrible wizards at all.

Fortunately, what pleased Edkin was that the morale of the defenders of Neverwinter was still high.

They are still stubbornly resisting and killing the enemy at their respective posts. Although their formation has begun to become a little loose and people continue to fall, every soldier and warrior who still sticks to their posts keeps fighting.

Attacking the enemy, their unparalleled courage and tenacity made Edkin admire and feel a little regretful at the same time.

After all, if there are no surprises and reinforcements, that kind of resistance is destined to be in vain.

even……

Edkin began to feel that perhaps they should not have resisted, but should have retreated from the beginning?

Because, according to the current offensive of the undead army regardless of cost, let alone the recently repaired city wall, it is very likely that even blowing up the three cross-river bridges on the Neverwinter River in the city will not be able to stop their advance.

pace!

‘!!’

‘Hiss~!!’

At this time, a sharp neighing sound sounded.

When Edkin hurriedly turned his head to look, he realized that it was the two black dragons that had broken through the air defense net formed by the bed crossbows in the air and had already swooped down.

As for the bed crossbows that had been deployed on the city walls before, in the fierce confrontation with the black dragon, more than half of them were lost at some point, so that it was no longer possible to organize an effective and dense air defense network.

So, soon, many more defenders fell.

They were either killed by the swarming undead army using various attacks, or they were jumped down from the sky by the black dragon, biting, grabbing, or burning and poisoning them to death, all while Edkin and other commanders were watching.

The officials' eyes were about to burst and they were helpless.

Finally, in this fierce battle, the defenders of Neverwinter began to show their fatigue.

Especially after the black dragons in the sky began to wreak havoc, their combat effectiveness and morale had begun to decline, but the army of the undead was still attacking and climbing the city wall tirelessly and crazily, and the offensive did not seem to be reduced at all. As for the red robes further away

The wizards also began to cast various vicious spells and curses, making it even more difficult for the defenders to resist.

In this way, the war entered its final intense stage...

The defenders and archers on the city wall were still shooting and defending, while the crossbowmen were running back and forth on the city wall to supplement the gaps in their brother's defense. They kept pulling the crossbows hard and shooting arrow after arrow.

Shooting at the undead or in vain at the black dragon that flies down from time to time to wreak havoc in the sky.

Many of the catapults were wiped out by the magic of the black dragon and the red-robed wizard, but the rest were still roaring. Burning stone bullets and oil cans continued to fly out from the city walls, hitting the dense army of undead outside the city and crashing.

It exploded, leaving behind a burning pile of fire on the ground that used the undead as firewood.

However……

The number of the undead army is still too huge. No matter what weapons they use, the defenders of Neverwinter cannot destroy them all. Apart from constantly consuming each other, there is not much they can do.

boom!!!

At this moment, with a roar and explosion, Edkin and countless defenders found in despair that the two adult black dragons swooped down from the sky, and then burned and exploded in an instant with a joint breath.

The steel gate of Neverwinter?

Look at their huge and strong bodies that rise quickly after succeeding, look at the gleaming scales that will bounce away even if they are hit by ordinary arrows, and look at the flames and poison that are constantly spitting out from their mouths.

Wu Wu, facing that kind of terrifying monster, including Edkin and others, couldn't help but feel unprecedented fear and tragedy.

"Simon!"

Therefore, Edkin felt that there was no need to continue fighting like this, and turned to look at Simon who was not taking much action and prepared to give an order.

"Send the order!"

"Prepare to withdraw..."

Because once the poisonous flames at the city gate are extinguished, a large group of undead souls will swarm in. By then, the defenders on the city wall will die without a burial!

Therefore, Edkin planned to order a retreat, abandon the city wall and the southern area of ​​Neverwinter City, directly abandon all the areas south of the Neverwinter River, and at the same time blow up the city wall after the soldiers withdrew to the north, and use the Neverwinter River to temporarily block it.

The pace of the undead's attack.

boom!!!

Just then, an accident happened again.

As a force so powerful that even Edkin on the city wall felt it suddenly emerged from the dock area on the west side, followed by strong wind and fire, a flame like a wall of fire suddenly ignited and started to burn on its own.

It swept from west to east along the bottom of the city wall towards the undead army in the distance, turning hundreds of thousands of undead into ashes almost instantly, while also leaving a wall of fire several meters high in place, directly blocking it.

Stop the undead's offensive.

"!!"

"That's dragon breath!"

That's right, that's Dragon's Breath!

And the 'Dragon's Breath' went from west to east, directly in front of the city wall of Neverwinter, leaving a blazing ravine in the army of the undead. Countless undead that were still moving forward numbly and had been included were burned one after another.

It turned into crumbling ashes, so that the red-robed wizards in the distance had to command the undead to stop their offensive, preparing to wait for the wall of fire to extinguish on its own.

"who is it?!"

Simon, the magic consultant and chief warlock of Neverwinter, instantly recognized what the flames that helped them temporarily relieve themselves were, and then they all looked toward the dock with the equally surprised Edkin.

"!!"

"Is it Fat Orange?!"

Then, the next second, Edkin and Simon both exclaimed with joy.

At this time, the two adult black dragons that were constantly circling in the sky, swooping and attacking, suddenly discovered the wall of dragon breath fire and a certain one that was slowly climbing up from the coast at the pier that should not have appeared here in the first place.
