Chapter 828: Defending the Homeland

Just when everyone's eyes were staring at the fireball, Jing Chen kept looking at the dead middle-level beast king, his body was trampled by the later demonic beasts, at this moment, whether it was the corpse of the middle-level beast king, or the corpse of the high-level beastmaster, or the corpse of the low-level demonic beast, for these living demonic beasts, there was no essential difference, the corpse was just used to pile up the road.

Jing Chen stared at the raging flesh ladder, many low-level demonic beasts were burned alive by the flames on it not long after they even ascended this ladder, the moat that was originally ten meters wide and five or six meters deep had already been filled with the corpses of demonic beasts, and under the city, there were flames, blood and the corpses of demonic beasts everywhere.

It's a battlefield like purgatory......

Countless demonic beasts roared and rushed up the ladder, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for that roar to turn into a weak whine, and finally turned into a charred corpse.

The Warcraft also tried to use magic to bombard the Cologne Fortress, but unfortunately, at this time, those old men in golden robes would come forward, and after a few rounds of killing, some of the Beastmaster-level Warcraft who had originally wanted to rise to the top no longer dared to come forward.

This is the Beastmaster-level Warcraft, a group of Warcraft with wisdom, and having wisdom means that they will be afraid, while the fear of low-level Warcraft is short-lived.

And for the ladder made of the corpses of the monsters, there is no good way for the people in Cologne City, although this kind of thing does not appear every time, but every large-scale beast group attack will appear, even after the war, the defenders can only rely on manpower to divide the ladder, and then bury it, now obviously do not have the conditions for such treatment.

On the city wall, there are constantly various tracks attacking the beasts, and every flash of light will take away the lives of a large number of demonic beasts, and a large number of demonic beasts have already died at the hands of these weapons.

Countless demonic beasts pierced by crossbow arrows and ignited by flames, although they did not die immediately, all struggles were in vain, because in the blink of an eye, later companions would trample on their bodies, whether they struggled or dodged, to no avail, and finally they were also trampled into flesh and became a part of the flesh ladder.

Splatters of blood stained the walls of the Cologne fortress red.

Smoke, flames, roars, roars, flesh and blood flying, all of these are intertwined to form the battlefield in front of Jingchen. A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and at this moment, Jing Chen faintly felt that the roar that could determine the morale of the beast group was the lord-level demonic beast in the mouth of the elder.

It's a pity that the wisdom of a lord-level demonic beast is already comparable to that of a human, judging from the current situation, unless that demonic beast takes the initiative to come out, the chance of being discovered by many powerhouses on the city wall is not very large, and at the end of the line of sight, at the intersection of night and earth, there are still countless red rays converging into the boundless beast herd, surging like a tide and rushing towards the Cologne Fortress.

Gradually, the ladder was piled higher and higher, and the originally unattainable fortress city wall was getting closer and closer to the top of the ladder, and at this moment, a bloodthirsty aura was permeated on the city wall. Many battle-hardened veterans showed a very strange looking excitement, some of them were gearing up, and some were smiling hideously and sticking out their tongues and licking their lips, as if the next moment, they were going to pounce on the beasts, tearing off a few pieces of monster meat and swallowing them in their stomachs.

"Click!"

A bolt of lightning pierced the dead night sky, and the rainstorm suddenly came, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down, like pearls with broken threads, and at this moment, the people on the city wall did not have the slightest intention of hiding from the rain, on the contrary, their expressions became more and more serious. Heavy rain, it turned out to be heavy rain, the original raging flames slowly extinguished, those monsters who were still in flames all over their bodies a moment ago, struggling to meet death and trample on their companions, suddenly found that the flames on their bodies were extinguished, that kind of excitement, everyone on the city wall could not understand, and soon, they expressed their joy with their own actions.

"Roar, roar, roar......"

The roar of the beast came and went, the rainstorm may be a disaster for the human race at this moment, the rainstorm not only made those incendiary bombs that had repeatedly performed miraculous feats meaningless, but also made the magic crystal cannon dumb fire, the only thing that could still work normally was probably the heavy crossbow. Unfortunately, due to poor sight, the heavy crossbow also lost its due lethality, and in desperation, the defender of Cologne had to stop the heavy crossbowmen from firing.

As soon as the guard looked, the adjutant standing beside him understood and hurriedly made a gesture, and the herald hurried down to give the order, and in a short time a group of soldiers with broadswords and spears came to the city.

Seeing that the ladder made of demonic beast corpses was about to reach the same height as the city wall, at this moment, both archers and throwers had lost their meaning, and what was needed now was hand-to-hand combat, and it was obvious that archers in leather armor were not suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

Just as Jingchen was observing the changes on the city wall, a small but extremely agile demonic beast jumped onto the wall of the Cologne Fortress, this was the first demonic beast to rush to the city wall, although this demonic beast was cut down by several soldiers as soon as it came up, but it also heralded a new beginning.

For a while, there were constantly demonic beasts of different sizes, sizes, and talents pouring up the city wall through the ladder.

His eyes swept over the soldiers who were fighting to the death against the demonic beast, and suddenly, Jingchen saw a very young-looking recruit who had just had one of his arms torn off by a demonic beast, and he was still shouting "Long live the king" from his mouth. He grabbed the face of the monster with his other arm, and clasped it straight into the eyes of the monster opposite, and the monster seemed to be stupid by his appearance, and he was stunned to gouge out an eyeball. The furious beast instantly smashed his head to pieces, and bright red blood mixed with brain pulp splattered everywhere.

The huge eyeball rolled all the way to Jing Chen's feet, Jing Chen lowered his head, only to see that the huge eyeball was full of fear, and at that moment, the demonic beast didn't understand what happened to this young man, he had such a strong willpower.

"Boom!"

The guard of Cologne City killed a beginner beast king who wanted to attack him with one palm, one palm, just one palm, the demonic beast was slapped away by one palm, and fell straight towards Cologne City.

Many of the demonic beasts were beaten down by the defenders of the city, and those who were beaten down from the city, before they could struggle, more companions pressed on them.

Of course, there are also a large number of people on the city walls who have paid with their lives, defending the dignity of the race and the glory of the empire with their lives. The lives of young people have passed like this, this kind of chaotic battle is no longer something that those rookie students of Zeus Academy can handle, most of the students have returned to the station under the arrangement of the mentor, the purpose of their coming here today has been achieved, and the next battle has nothing to do with them.

Jingchen and a few people stayed, of course, Yue Yanran was also by his side, at this moment, maybe only by keeping her by his side Jingchen would be relieved.

Amand Delon turned around, his gaze swept over the faces of every student who stayed, from beginning to end, not one fell, and finally, he said with a serious expression, "You are all the elites of the academy, and you are also the pillars of the future Holy Spirit Empire! Now, any of you can quit, and I will not stand in the way. But if you stay, remember that this is a battlefield, this is a war of life and death, and the slightest negligence can kill you easily. With that, Amandron's gaze swept over the students present again, lingering on each of their faces for a moment.

All the students looked at Amand Delon with firm eyes, although they were also experiencing this kind of war for the first time, and there was also a trace of fear in their hearts, but none of the students chose to quit, they were all children of the Holy Spirit Empire, and the education they received since childhood made them understand that only when there is a country can there be a home, at this moment, they decided to stick to it, stick to this line of defense, even if it is with their lives.

Nodding with satisfaction, Amandron's serious expression eased slightly, and continued, "Since you have a choice, then, at this moment, I just want to say one word to you, live...... Make move...... Return...... Come!" is a short four words, but sonorous and powerful. At this moment, all the students, including Jingchen, were stunned, they really didn't expect that Amandron's last sentence would be true.

"Yes!" all the students replied neatly, a majestic momentum suddenly emerged, although their experience is not as rich as those veterans, but these remaining students, the average strength has also reached the third level, far from those ordinary soldiers comparable, at this moment, no one will retreat; at this moment, the flame in the chests of these young people is rising; at this moment, everyone has only one goal - to protect their home and defend the country.

The heavier and heavier smell of blood not only made the soldiers on the city wall fierce, but also stimulated those demonic beasts even more, and a wave of beasts poured into the city, although most of them would be killed as soon as possible, but occasionally a few beast kings rushed up, but it was not something that ordinary soldiers could deal with. At this time, those generals in the army, as well as the golden-robed old men, would shoot to kill those powerful beast king-level demonic beasts.

"Bang!"

Jing Chen's pair of golden gauntlets hit a demonic beast that was about to pounce, his arm shook, and the head of the demonic beast was instantly shattered by Jingchen, and just as he was about to shake it away, a faint suction came from his fingertips, and he saw a halo of light shoot into the black and white gem on the silver ring like lightning, and the strange gem flashed slightly, and then there was no reaction.

"It's ......"

Jing Chen glanced at Yue Yanran behind him, and saw that Yue Yanran didn't see the strange reaction of the silver ring, so he put his mind at ease, although he didn't know why the gem wanted to absorb the energy of this demonic beast, but when he fought with the zombie-faced middle-aged man, he still remembered the black light that seemed to be able to devour everything, so he was not too surprised.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Yue Yanran's voice came from behind Jing Chen, Jing Chen's heart was shocked, a strong wind was already blowing towards him, he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and his arms were armored to protect his head.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Jingchen only felt a huge force coming from his arms, and the whole person "banged" and took several steps back before he could stabilize his figure.

Looking up, I saw that not far away, there was a wild bull king glaring at him, and a little spark was spewing out between his snorts, seeing Jingchen's eyes looking at it, the front hooves of the wild bull king were gouging the green bricks on the city wall, looking like he would rush over at any time.

found out that it was this kind of wild bull king that was rarely seen in the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range, Jingchen frowned slightly, this is not a good sign, although he has not experienced the beast tide, but when he was a child, his father Sedum often talked to him, and the story of his father's fight against the beast tide is also Jingchen's favorite to hear. According to Sedum, the Warcraft in the general beast tide live on the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range, these Warcraft are relatively weak, but the number is huge, although they live at the bottom of the food chain, the amount of food they consume is the largest, and the annual beast tide is the largest casualty of this kind of Warcraft.

Warcraft is a bloodline-oriented race, some powerful bloodlines, like the dragon clan, even if it is a newborn young dragon, it has the strength of a high-level beast king, and the demon wolf, even if it is a wolf king, is only a beginner beast king. As for the Blood Wolf Emperor, it can only be regarded as an outlier among the demon wolves, and there may not be one in thousands of years.

The Wild Bull King in front of Jing Chen, although the bloodline is not noble, but it is not comparable to ordinary demonic beasts, just like this Wild Bull King, at least a middle-level Beast King, looking at this appearance, it is only one step away from the high-level, thinking of this, Jingchen's brows furrowed even deeper.

At this moment, Jingchen was not afraid of this wild bull king, but there was Yue Yanran behind him, which made him feel a little tricky.

"Whoosh!" A clear sound, a faint green light instantly rose on Jingchen's body, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body, Jingchen turned his head to look, only to see Yue Yanran smiling at himself.

"Chen, let's clean up this big guy together. Saying a playful smile, although her strength is only the third intermediate level, Yue Yanran's cultivation is a relatively alternative profession in the magician profession - elementalist. Unlike mages, who can focus on combat skills, elementals are more like auxiliary classes for cultivating spiritual power, and like life druids, they are all good at supporting battles. At this moment, the green glow shining on Jing Chen's body was the "Light Spirit Wind" state that Yue Yanran had attached to him, which could increase his various speeds by one level.

Seeing Yue Yanran's cute appearance, Jingchen smiled slightly, "Okay, let's do it together." As he spoke, he turned his head with a serious face and stared at the bull king. The Wild Bull King also seemed to feel Jingchen's strength, and a pair of huge bull eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.

"It's up!" said Jingchen's waist and eyes kicked the ground with both feet, and the whole person was like a lightning bolt, shooting towards the wild bull king.

As if he also felt Jingchen's strength, the Wild Bull King's big eyes were firmly fixed on Jingchen's figure, and a trace of imperceptible caution flashed in his eyes. This is the Beastmaster-level Demonic Beast, which already has a certain amount of wisdom, although it may be worse than humans, but compared to those low-level Demonic Beasts that have no wisdom at all, it is much more difficult.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and after a short period of temptation, the Bull King and Jingchen fought together, and the space that was originally very crowded became more chaotic because of the fight between this person and the bull, and some low-level demonic beasts were often blasted away by the overflowing energy.

The roar sounded from time to time from this person and a bull, Jing Chen had already taken the path of a wild druid, although he had now decided to focus on the formation technique inherited by the black-robed man, but this melee combat was still his strong point, and the Wild Bull King was also a demonic beast known for his strength, and when the two met, it was really a vicious fight.

This man and beast come and go, and the fight is also very lively, and now neither the defenders nor those demonic beasts that have poured up the city wall dare to approach them. Whether it is Jingchen or the Wild Bull King, they are all people with good strength, looking at the entire battlefield, they are also considered to be in the upper middle class, and no one is so open-minded, make do with it here.

Jing Chen, who was excited, didn't notice that a sinister light flashed in the eyes of the seemingly reckless Bull King.

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang, and a man and a cow collided again, this kind of collision was common during the time when the two of them were fighting, and Jingchen was also used to this kind of hard-hitting battle, he preferred this refreshing way of fighting compared to the fight.

After the collision, when the two bodies separated, suddenly, a firelight shot straight towards Jingchen's face, this firelight came extremely quickly, and a scorching smell hit, obviously this firelight also contained a strong poison.

In the face of this sudden attack, Jing Chen did not panic, in fact, when Jing Chen had just fought with this Wild Bull King, he had always been wary of this Wild Bull King's deception, after all, there was an essential difference between the Beast King-level Demonic Beasts and those low-level Demonic Beasts who only knew how to kill, because they had wisdom.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, I saw Jingchen's body tremble, and the next moment it had appeared on the side of the Bull King, a pair of pale golden armours, with a slip of gold and smashed into the head of the Bull King, the Bull King obviously didn't expect Jingchen to have such a move, after being slightly stunned, it was too late to dodge, so he only had time to stand up, ready to use his back to pick up Jingchen's blow.

Seeing that the Wild Bull King actually wanted to force his fists, a sneer hung on the corner of Jing Chen's mouth, and in an instant, a pale green light merged into a pair of arm armor.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, which startled all the people or demonic beasts around who were fighting hard, and for a while, whether it was the demonic beasts, the soldiers guarding the city, and even the golden-robed old men, their eyes fell here.

Blood splattered, the thick shoulder blades of the Bull King had been completely smashed out of shape, and blood kept gushing out of the hideous wounds, obviously, the Bull King was dying.

A pale red energy shot into the strange gem on the silver ring in the dark that everyone didn't notice, and Jingchen, who felt the abnormal movement in his hand, didn't show it.

"Moo!" a terrible roar resounded through the sky, and the huge body of the Bull King struggled to get up, but unfortunately, it had lost a lot of blood and had come to the end of its life. Suddenly, a roar that was also full of desolation sounded, which seemed to echo this dying bull king, and an extremely strong aura instantly rose from afar, it was a chilling momentum, and even a strong man like Armand Delon couldn't help but frown.

"Lord-level demonic beasts! It's lord-level demonic beasts!" On the city wall, I don't know who was the first to shout, and the soldiers defending the city were stunned for a while, and no one thought that the first siege after the outbreak of the beast tide this time would appear lord-level demonic beasts.

Hearing the roar of the lord-level demonic beasts, whether they had rushed to the city or not, they all boiled at this moment, as if they were greeting their king with a more ferocious attitude, and the pressure on the defenders in the city increased sharply for a while.

Many of the powerhouses who had originally rushed to the city and destroyed the ladder made of the corpses of the demonic beasts also returned to the city one after another, although their strength was far stronger than that of ordinary demonic beasts, and even the average middle-level beast king could not do anything with them. But for that lord-level demonic beast, it was too small, and I was afraid that that demonic beast could take the lives of all of them in just one breath.

Jing Chen locked his eyebrows and stared into the distance, he had a hunch that this lord-level demonic beast might have something to do with the Barbarian Bull King he had just killed, otherwise it would never echo the sorrow of the Barbarian Bull King before he died, let alone appear now.

In the distance, at the end of the line of sight, a huge black shadow appeared in everyone's sight, the black shadow was like a small mountain, and every step would cause the mountain to shake, and even the strong walls of the Cologne fortress trembled slightly.
