Chapter 153 Today is the end of your city, Hersha.
The entire city of Hersha was shrouded in dark clouds, and the situation at the front lines was becoming increasingly tense.
Meanwhile, the soldiers at the rear were consumed by shortages of supplies and suspicion, and their morale gradually crumbled.
Wu Qi was filled with anxiety, Fang Miaohua sneered in the darkness, and the soldiers whispered among themselves. An ominous shadow fell over the future of Hesha City.
As night fell, the city of Hersha was shrouded in heavy shadows.
A low morale gradually spread throughout the military camp.
News of repeated supply disruptions, food shortages, and damaged supplies quietly spread among the soldiers, carrying with it a sense of suppressed fear and doubt.
The soldiers whispered among themselves, wondering if someone had deliberately sabotaged the operation, and gradually began to question the decisions made by the command.
In the shadow of confusion and suspicion among the soldiers, General Agul of the Black Rock Alliance is plotting a deadly surprise attack.
He knew the internal situation of Hesha City like the back of his hand, because another traitor lurking in the city—Guo Mingxin—had passed on to him the details of the defense deployment of the East Gate.
Bakun stared coldly in the direction of Hesha City, his heart filled with an unwavering belief in victory.
Guo Mingxin stood on the watchtower at the east gate, looking down into the darkness outside the city, a struggle flashing across his face.
As one of the guards of Hesha City, he had patrolled the city walls countless times, his heart filled with pride in protecting his home and country.
However, a misjudgment several years ago led to the wrongful killing of his family members, and the generals in the city have never apologized for it.
From that moment on, Guo Mingxin's beliefs were gradually replaced by hatred, and he ultimately chose to betray.
His heart was filled with contradictions, but when he thought of the wealth and glory promised to him by the Black Rock Alliance, his guilt disappeared without a trace.
He muttered to himself, "Hersa City, this city owes me too much."
Now, it's time for it to pay the price.
He looked at the soldiers around him with a cold gaze.
These former comrades-in-arms were just unfamiliar shadows to him.
Guo Mingxin secretly slipped a secret letter into a hidden compartment in the watchtower. The letter detailed the defensive weaknesses of the East Gate.
It also explains when is the best time to attack.
He cleverly moved some of the sentries stationed on the watchtower away, leaving a weak defensive line.
He then pretended to leave as if nothing had happened, passing the message on to the Black Rock Alliance's spies.
On a moonlit night with few stars, Bakun led the elite troops of the Black Rock Alliance to quietly approach the east gate of Hesha City.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time; the weak point of the east gate was a fatal flaw in the defense system of Hersha City.
Guo Mingxin's intelligence opened the door to victory for him.
Agur whispered orders to his soldiers to remain hidden, and under the cover of night, they quietly approached the city walls.
A cold wind swept by, and his eyes flashed with a ruthless killing intent.
"If we don't attack now, when will we?" Bakun said softly, then waved his hand, and the Black Rock soldiers began to approach the East Gate.
The weapon in his hand gleamed faintly in the moonlight.
Before dawn, the guards at the East Gate were dozing in the darkness, completely unaware that danger was lurking nearby.
Suddenly, a deep horn blast shattered the silence of the night, like a death knell in the darkness.
The soldiers of the Black Rock Alliance roared and charged toward the city gate like ferocious beasts.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The guards' shouts, mixed with panic, quickly spread throughout the entire East Gate area.
The sudden attack caught them off guard, preventing them from forming an effective defensive line in time.
The defenders on the city wall quickly raised their shields in an attempt to withstand the enemy's charge, but they were clearly unprepared.
Their eyes were filled with panic; facing the enemy's fierce assault, their defensive line began to crumble.
Xu Shengzhan, as the commander of the East Gate defense line, rushed out of his tent immediately upon hearing the shouts of the enemy attack.
They quickly assembled their soldiers to form ranks and meet the enemy.
As he watched the Black Rock Alliance's forces surge in like a tidal wave, alarm bells rang in his mind.
He discovered that the enemy seemed to know everything about the defenses of the East Gate and were cleverly avoiding the key points of the city wall's defenses.
This made him even more suspicious: "Could it be that one of us leaked the information?"
However, with the battle imminent, Xu Shengzhan had no time to think and could only do his best to mobilize his soldiers to resist.
He shouted, "Everyone, hold your ground! Don't retreat a single step!"
His voice was hoarse but firm, yet the soldiers' faces were filled with fear and unease.
Their gazes darted around, and some even began to consider leaving.
Guo Mingxin stood at a distance, coldly watching all of this, feeling both pleasure and a vague sense of guilt.
As he watched his former comrades fall one by one, a flicker of doubt arose in his heart.
But he immediately suppressed his emotions and coldly muttered to himself, "All of this is owed to me by Hersha City."
Under Agul's command, the soldiers of the Black Rock Alliance charged forward relentlessly, precisely attacking the weak points of the east gate, each strike dealing a fatal blow to the defenders.
Xu Shengzhan's soldiers gradually collapsed under the enemy's onslaught, and the defensive line was gradually torn apart.
He brandished his sword, desperately cutting down enemy soldiers in an attempt to stabilize the front line. However, outnumbered by the enemy, the defenses could not hold out in the end.
As Xu Shengzhan watched the defense line being breached, his heart was filled with despair and anger.
He gritted his teeth, swung his sword at the enemy, and shouted angrily in his heart: "Hesha City cannot fall like this!"
His figure weaved through the enemy ranks, his body already stained with blood.
This might be the last battle, but he still refuses to give up.
However, the soldiers' morale had collapsed, and some began to retreat, while others even abandoned their weapons and tried to escape the battlefield.
The defenses at the East Gate collapsed completely under Xu Shengzhan's powerless gaze. The soldiers of the Black Rock Alliance poured into Hesha City like a tidal wave, and the city gates were completely breached.
In the distance, Guo Mingxin stood in the shadow of the city wall, quietly watching the scene of Hesha City being breached.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, perhaps the joy of victory, or perhaps a sense of guilt deep in his heart.
Although he knew he had embarked on a path of betrayal, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched his familiar city engulfed in war.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, and quietly left the city wall.
Bakhun led his soldiers into Hesha City, and with a cold smile, he gave orders, directing his soldiers to quickly occupy key locations within the city.
At this time, the city of Hersha was in dire straits, the soldiers' morale was low, and the defense line had been completely broken.
Bakhun shouted, "Hesha City will belong to the Black Rock Alliance today!"
His voice echoed inside and outside the city walls, casting an endless shadow over the future of Hersha City at that moment.
When news of the battle at the East Gate reached the command post, Zhao Lingfeng, the commander of Hesha City, frowned deeply.
He keenly realized that the enemy had a thorough understanding of the city's defenses, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
The frequent damage to supplies over the past few days and the increasingly demoralized state of the soldiers all seemed to indicate that Hersha City was facing a huge crisis from both inside and outside.
"The enemy's advance is fierce; there must be an internal traitor secretly assisting them," Zhao Lingfeng pondered to himself.
But the situation is critical at the moment, and there is no time to investigate further.
Therefore, he decisively summoned Wu Qi and ordered the emergency allocation of supplies to support the East Gate, in an effort to stabilize the situation before the defense line completely collapsed.
Wu Qi accepted the order and set off immediately, but he was secretly worried about whether the supplies in the warehouse would be enough to support this brutal attack and defense.
Wu Qi rushed to the warehouse, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that the amount of grain was almost gone, and the arrows that were originally neatly stacked in the warehouse were also few and far between.
Even emergency reserves have been almost completely depleted.
His heart sank, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he couldn't help but mutter, "How could we be so short of supplies?"
As the scenes of repeated problems with supplies in the past few days flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and regret.
Without sufficient supplies, the defenses at the East Gate will completely collapse.
Wu Qi returned to Zhao Lingfeng with great anxiety and reported the shortage of supplies in the warehouse.
His voice was full of frustration: "Commander, the warehouses are almost empty, and there is simply not enough to support the entire battle."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingfeng's eyes revealed a hint of shock and sorrow, and he remained silent for a moment.
Ultimately, he could not conceal the anger and helplessness in his heart.
They mobilized all available resources, but the depletion of supplies in the city only exacerbated the situation.
The battle was more difficult than they had anticipated, with the enemy's offensive far exceeding their expectations.
Just then, Gu Jinyan led a small team to rush to the East Gate to provide support.
As she watched the black smoke gradually rise from the direction of the East Gate, a deep sorrow welled up in her heart.
Images of the guards fighting desperately flashed through her mind, the soldiers' weary faces, and their once unwavering eyes.
At this moment, they are probably already replaced by fear and despair.
She gripped her longsword tightly, silently reminding herself that she must lead her soldiers to hold out until the very last moment.
Gu Jinyan hurriedly arrived at the East Gate and gasped in shock at the sight before him.
The entire area outside the East Gate was stained with blood, with broken shields and fallen soldiers scattered on the ground, and smoke and dust billowing from the city walls of the East Gate.
The defending troops were forced to retreat under the relentless attacks of the enemy, and their formation was broken into pieces.
The soldiers looked exhausted, their eyes flashing with fear and despair as their once-dense defensive lines were gradually torn apart.
At that moment, she saw that the deputy general Xu Sheng was fighting fiercely with one of the enemy generals, Bakun, a confidant of Agul. The two were fighting fiercely in the dust, their eyes bloodshot, and the danger was immense amidst the flashing swords.
Xu Shengzhan brandished his spear, covered in blood, yet showed no sign of retreating.
Across from him, Bakhun's face was contorted with rage, his hands gripping a giant axe as he pressed closer and closer.
He was one of the most ruthless and fierce generals in the Black Rock Alliance, with a burly build and a cold, menacing glint in his eyes.
He stared intently at Xu Sheng, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, and said mockingly, "Xu Shengzhan!"
Today is the end for your city of Hersha! No matter how you struggle, you cannot change this fate!
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
Since the enemy's surprise attack on the East Gate, he has witnessed his comrades fall one by one, the city's defenses are in grave danger, and the enemy seems to have no end in sight.
His eyes blazed, and he roared, "Hesha City will not fall because of you thieves!"
"Try and see if you can take my life!" He suddenly raised his spear and thrust it at Bakhun with lightning speed.
Bakun sneered and swung his giant axe, steadily blocking Xu Sheng's spear tip.
After a brief standoff, Bakun suddenly pushed hard, twisting Xu Sheng's spear outwards. Then, he swung his giant axe, aiming straight for Xu Sheng's upper body.
Xu Shengzhan quickly dodged to the side, but the giant axe slammed down on his shoulder, nearly killing him.
Even so, Xu Shengzhan was still thrown off balance by the axe wind. He endured the pain in his shoulder, steadied himself, raised his spear again, and thrust it fiercely at Bakun.
The fierce fighting left the surrounding soldiers with no time to look around; they each fought bravely against the enemy, gritting their teeth and persevering.
However, as Gu Jinyan watched Xu Shengzhan and Bakun fight, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She knew Bakun was ruthless and also knew that Xu Sheng had been fighting for a long time and was already exhausted.
