Chapter 0297: Terror is coming
After the appearance of this big demon, the defenders, who originally had a fluke mentality and thought that their side was not without a chance of winning, seemed to have been hammered a few times in the heart.
The sound of swallowing saliva came and went, and everyone knew that the next battle might be no suspense.
Count Edward glanced around and said aloud again, "Is anyone going to back down, this is the last chance." ”
He was answered by an extremely long silence, which was finally broken by several veterans: "The demon has descended, and we have no chance to retreat, because to retreat is to die." ”
An old farmer looked at the burning wheat field, his heart seemed to be dripping blood, he raised his head high, and roared angrily: "Defend the homeland!
The shouts came and went, and finally converged into a torrent: "Defend the homeland! Fight to the end!"
In the distance, the corners of the Great Demon's mouth hooked up an evil and cruel arc, and he moved his lips, and dozens of words composed of demonic words came out, containing incredible evil and blasphemy.
Just hearing this sound made the bodies of the defenders on the city wall tremble.
When the demons heard these words, their faces were bloodthirsty and hideous, and they let out a terrifying scream, and then rushed straight towards the castle like black waves rolling up on the ground.
Countless natives were engulfed in it, and those who stood still, or who tried to turn and flee, were trampled to pulp.
So they had no choice but to rush to the forefront of the demon army, serving as meat shields and cannon fodder.
Seeing this, Count Edward shouted, "Prepare for battle." ”
He raised his two-handed sword above his head, and the sharp blade emitted a cold cold light, and then swung it down sharply, and at the same time roared, "Release the arrow!"
The arrows shot out like locusts, and the waves of demons swooped down, and the two suddenly came into contact, and the demons fell like harvested wheat in patches.
Although for the army composed of tens of thousands of demons, this loss in front of him was not a loss at all, but it played a great role in boosting the morale of the defenders.
Everyone pulled up the bowstring with all their might, and the arrows poured down as if they didn't want money.
The city is densely packed with demons, and there is no need to deliberately aim at all, as long as you open your bow and arrow, and then let go of your hand, you can easily take away the life of a demon.
At this moment, almost everyone has become a marksman.
The Great Demon in the distance looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, not feeling grieved by the loss of his subordinates, on the contrary, he was a little excited.
This is the nature of demons, cruel, bloodthirsty, vicious, and their hearts are full of all the negativity, and it is better to pray to the gods than to have mercy in their hearts.
Of course, the Great Demon will not let humans slaughter his subordinates, so it will not be called cruelty, but stupidity.
He once again spat out demonic language full of evil flavor from his mouth, and the middle and high-level demons in front of him clamored in unison.
The first to strike were the Scythe Demon Legion, whose skin was so hard that it could withstand the penetration of arrows.
Dozens of scythe demons cut into the battlefield with lightning speed, and almost in two minutes they passed through the cannon fodder troops and reached the bottom of the high city walls.
Seeing this, Count Edward was slightly shocked, and immediately gave an order: "All the archers aim at these scythe demons and shoot them, and don't let them climb the city wall." ”
The Scythe Demon has the strength of a high-level martial artist, and it is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns, and if they are allowed to kill the city wall, I am afraid that it will cause incalculable losses.
Suddenly, arrows rained down.
The Scythe Demon held its arms in front of him, forming a fan-shaped defensive surface, and the arrows shot at it, making a sound of metal clashing and even sparks.
Seeing this, Count Edward's brows furrowed deeply, and then he said in a deep voice: "Use the city crossbow." ”
The city crossbow is specially used to snipe large beasts and monsters, and its attack and penetration are extremely strong.
However, it was too large and heavy to be mounted on the city walls and used as a defensive weapon, and it was now in good use.
Hearing the lord's order, dozens of soldiers pushed the six surrounding city crossbows to the battlements like cannons.
A dozen of the strongest soldiers began to spin the winch in an effort, the strings of the crossbow slowly opened, and then mounted arrows the thickness of their forearms.
The scythe demons were still carefully defending against the arrows, slowly approaching the city walls, their bodies said to be invulnerable, but they also had weaknesses, such as eyes, mouths, and throats.
Therefore, they must watch out for the marksman's attacks, which slow down their advance considerably.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the city crossbow had already drawn its bow and aimed at their bodies.
Count Edward raised his right hand high, and then waved it down violently: "Release!"
The piercing sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded: "Boom, Boom, Boom......"
In an instant, the six scythe demons were directly pierced through their bodies, and the low-level demons hiding behind them were not spared, and the arrows as thick as their forearms directly sank into the soil half a meter deep, which showed the great strength.
The bloodthirsty roar instantly turned into a roar of pain, and although the scythe demon had thick skin and tenacious vitality, the wound the size of a human head was still extremely fatal to them.
Before the scythe demon next to him could react, he looked at his companion in surprise, carefully examining his face and neck, not knowing where the other party was injured, and he was screaming so miserably.
However, before he could find out the reason, he felt a chill in his heart, and then a sharp pain came, and he looked down at his chest, where a hole the size of a bowl had been cut, and blood was gushing out.
The scythe demon realized something, and he let out an unwilling roar, and took a few steps forward, before falling to the ground weakly.
The same scene was playing out over and over again, as the city crossbow's rate of fire was too fast to react at all, so dozens of scythe demons suffered almost devastating blows.
However, this did not terrify the other demons, and the mid-level and high-ranking demons who had not yet joined the battle group let out a ferocious roar, and the noise was even stronger.
When the Great Demon saw this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and began to roar, spreading his anger to all the demons.
In an instant, the demons burst out with more powerful combat power, and the little demons who were originally timid rushed to the city wall desperately, even if they were shot into hedgehogs, they did not flinch.
The little devil was not stingy with his magic, and countless fireballs rushed straight towards the battlements of the city wall, as if trying to force the defenders back.
Unfortunately, their magic is too low-level, outrageously powerful, and it does little to do any real damage other than scorching the defenders' hair, eyebrows, and beards.
Of course, it was not without help, at least it hindered the archers from aiming and firing.
