Chapter 0225: The Battle of Defense

The flames of war in the jungle are getting closer!

Several areas have been breached, and demon hunters with dazzling swords looming atop the pony appear on the edge of the wizard's camp, fighting to the death against the witchcraft, automatons, and ghouls guarding it.

If it weren't for the large number of witchcraft traps laid around the camp, I am afraid that the hordes of demon hunters would have already poured into the camp and began to directly besiege the War Witch Tower.

But even so, as the flames of war gradually burned under the Witch Tower, the space left for the wizards to operate became smaller and smaller. Gradually, the last resistance forces gathered in front of the main entrance of the Witch Tower. The thirteen wizards who swore to defend to the death guarded this place to the death, not retreating an inch.

On this flat battlefield of less than 500 meters, there are as many as 300 summoned beasts and puppet beasts of various types, and those low-level witch beasts and mechanical beasts have all been filled under the butcher's knife of the demon hunter knight.

The mountains and forests around the Witch Pagoda have suffered all kinds of devastating blows, and there are continuous seas of fire and violent natural storms everywhere. Once the ferocious fire is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, and in the blink of an eye, the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles are plunged into a sea of fire.

Bands of demon hunters emerged from the mountains and began to assemble on the outskirts of the camp.

There were still traces of fire licking on their faces, and fine scratches from the wind blades could be faintly visible on their armor. Despite the terrible cost of passing through this terrifying area, with the hope of victory and the hatred of the wizard, they fought their way forward and finally reached the bottom of this terrifying witch tower.

The demon hunters gathered in groups and regrouped their ranks. Nine Radiant Knights led the way, leading less than 4,000 Demon Hunter Knights to continue to charge against the last line of defense of the wizards.

Look back at the way you came!

In this jungle, in a narrow area of less than 5 miles, the knights of the army overwhelming the realm actually paid the lives of 2 glorious knights, 33 law-breaking knights, and more than 2,000 demon hunters. Such a heavy price is beyond everyone's imagination!

This rugged mountainous jungle is a burial ground, full of mutilated knight corpses and fragmented pony remains. Now, as the wildfires spread, everything is engulfed in raging fires!

To be honest, if it weren't for the continuous dive attacks of the Green Dragon Squad and the Dragon Knights in the sky, which damaged most of the wizards' arrangements, I'm afraid the casualties of the Demon Hunter Knights would have been even greater and more tragic!

Compared to the sacrifices of the knights, in this jungle, there are also 2 wizards who have crossed the plane and fallen forever!

This also means that the number of wizards sent to the knight plane by the Sarupo family has reached as many as 7. This...... This is getting closer and closer to the psychological bottom line predetermined by the family's top management! Once the number of wizards lost exceeds 9, even if the family takes this plane, I am afraid it will not have the ability to develop it quickly.

After all, the family foundation that guards the wizarding world needs wizards, and wizards are also needed to guard the two secondary planes. In the short term, pulling out the main force of wizards in a certain plane to conduct a plane war will not have much impact on the local situation. However, once the main force of the family is contained in a certain region for a long time or the strength is too lost, the ruling pattern at the entire family level will become unstable.

After the successful invasion of the knight plane, it may be able to bring rich profits to the Sarubo family every year, but maintaining this kind of domination requires great strength. The same is true of the other two secondary planes. Once the main force of the family has been gone for too long, it will be worth the loss for the indigenous opposition forces there to hear the news and set off a new wave of resistance!

Therefore, when the two wizards died in the sneak attack of the dragon knights, the family leaders finally made a decision to shrink their strategy and stick to the gate of the Witch Tower.

At this moment, the construction inside the Witch Tower has restrained eleven wizards, so only the last thirteen wizards are left to defend at the gate of the Witch Tower, including the second-order wizard Fogen.

At the top of the team is, of course, a group of wizards with strong physiques, mainly 3 refining wizards, and a large number of summoned creatures are also assisted. Grim and the Hyde wizard also have a good physique after transforming, so they are distributed on both sides to support defense.

More wizards stayed in the protective circle, constantly throwing a wide range of powerful sorcery into the dense forest of knights. Most of the wizards who are not good at fighting also work part-time in some special wizarding profession, or throw out a lot of potions to summon some strange summoned creatures, or pull out bags of witchcraft scrolls and frantically smash them on the knight's head.

The two wizards who were good at cursing witchcraft even began to cast spells in a frenzy, throwing cursed auras of different colors into the most densely populated areas of the knights.

The demon hunter knight in the front row had just rushed 30 meters in front of the wizard, and his body was covered with a colorful disgusting curse aura, dizzy and weak, not to mention, his body seemed to be brushed with a thick layer of mud, and his gestures became abnormally slow.

Let the knights turn even the most furious charge into comical slow motion.

On the ground, all kinds of terrifying demonic plants are constantly bursting out, or entangled, or pierced, or sucking blood...... It's causing a lot of trouble for the Demon Hunter Knights!

The charge of the demon hunter knight on the back was blocked, so he could only put away his sword and replace it with a rune bow, and one after another flaming arrows and ice arrows flew into the area of the wizard's defense like raindrops.

Originally, an attack with such elemental damage and weak damage could not pose any threat to wizards at all. But they can't stand the large number of opponents, and the strength of the wizards is seriously lost.

As a result, the three body refining wizards swelled up like terrifying giants, smashing every demon hunter knight who broke into their sight into meat sauce while holding up a protective barrier and struggling to block the knights' alternative long-range attacks.

The strength of the alchemists may be able to withstand such a dense and non-stop attack, but the summoned creatures such as blood giants, creeping monsters, rock golems, and evil eyes that surround their sides are too much to bear, and one by one they fall to the ground and disappear with the wails of arrows stuck in the struggle.

Soon, the brave demon hunters waded through the witchcraft traps with their flesh and blood, broke into the wizard's defensive circle, and fought them at close range.

The 3 Alchemists defended the front, while Grim was assigned to the left.

Here, he alone needs to defend a wide defensive line of almost 70 meters. And his former demon golem army has all been lost in the Death Jungle, and now the only ones who can stand in front of him are the Flame Lord, the Lightning Giant, and the two quasi-witch-level water men!

Once upon a time, the Lightning Giant was a powerful main battle golem under Grim's men. But as he became a wizard, it was difficult for this quasi-witch-level golem to keep up with him. Even if it occasionally appears on the battlefield, it has been reduced to some kind of consumable.

However, no matter how difficult the situation is, his situation is much better than that of Hyde Wizard on the other side.

Grim still has 4 men to share the pressure anyway, but Wizard Hyde needs to defend such a wide battlefield space alone.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a mechanical body, as long as his spiritual power was not exhausted, he would have inexhaustible physical strength, and if he was replaced by other wizards, I am afraid that he would have died of exhaustion just by running back and forth to clean up the knights who rushed up.

In the jungle, when they encounter an invincible object, they can also run, fly, or directly switch to the battlefield. But here, even if a squad of lawbreakers rushes in front of you, you can only grit your teeth and defend your position with your life.

As for reinforcements, as long as there is no Radiant Knight, then the Wizard of Rank 2 Fergen will never make a move!

So, Grim had the pleasure of sneaking a moment to admire the heroic appearance of the Hyde wizard.

In terms of the inherent nature of wizards, Hyde must have hidden some of his strength. But when the 5 Spellbreaker Knights team up to kill in front of him, it becomes very difficult to hide his strength, unless he doesn't want to live.

So in the next second, Wizard Hyde turned into a large octopus with a dozen thick metal tentacles. Except for the head and a small part of the body, which still retained the humanoid form in the center position, the other body parts were quickly assembled and combined into terrifying metal spiked tentacles, which swept towards several magic-breaking knights like a storm.

It's no wonder that he was called Hyde Boss by that Thunderbird, and he really has terrifying power far beyond ordinary people when he fights in close combat. Under Grim's shocked gaze, the Hyde boss sliced the five attacking Spellbreakers into pieces.

And the price he paid was only a minor injury!

Three of the twelve metal tentacles were severed, and two showed varying degrees of damage. When Hyde reverted to his human form from his octopus form, he also had extensive flaws on the surface of his body. There was also a squeaky noise from the countless rapidly spinning gears and bearings in the body, and it seemed that even the operation had become less bright.

And at this moment, Grim's good luck also turned down!

A radiant knight appeared in front of him with two law-breaking knights and nearly a hundred demon hunter knights, and rushed forward with a roar. And at this time, the 2nd order Fogen wizards were fighting with the 2 Radiant Knights in front of the position, and even the 3 refining wizards silently withdrew from that area.

Due to the small size of the battlefield, it was difficult for Grimm's transformed Firefiend to create a large enough pool of lava, and his golems were not enough to withstand such a powerful raiding team.

Therefore, Grim can only roar and fight desperately!
