Chapter 8 of the text The Devil Arrives

Next chapter

The coalition forces were well prepared for the foreseeable war, with mountains of supplies piled up on the vast walls, heavy bed crossbows firing three-meter-long spears, rolling stone carts throwing boulders off the walls, and more powerful crossbows raining down on every demon who tried to climb up the walls.

Under the attack of crossbow arrows and rolling stones dropped by the coalition forces, the demon's attack was effectively contained. The corpse of the demon and the stones and logs thrown by the coalition army quickly sank into the lava lake, and it was impossible for the demon to build a siege staircase out of the corpse.

Of course, the demons did not come forward to die in vain, and the horned demons with slightly higher IQ urged the stupid flame demon to storm the city wall, and at the same time picked up the magma in the lake, and after the magma slowly cooled to form a semi-solid lava ball, they threw him at the coalition soldiers on the wall who were bent on attacking the wall-climbing flame demon.

The demon's sudden long-range attack caused a lot of damage to the Coalition soldiers, especially the lava balls that would split apart when they landed, causing casualties to the Coalition soldiers who encountered this attack for the first time.

Fortunately, due to the height of the city wall, the Horned Demon needs to be close to the city wall if he wants to throw the lava ball up, which is within the attack range of all the ranged weapons of the coalition forces, and the commanders of each section of the city wall immediately detached a part of the crossbowman to attack the Horned Demon who threw the lava ball. It takes a while for the lava to cool down, and the Coalition Crossbowmen will shoot at the Horned Demon holding the lava as soon as they see it, and some bed crossbows will join in when there are too many Horned Pitchers. The Horned Pitcher's attacks are throttled, but the number of people attacking the Flame Demon is reduced.

The Flame Demons are very simple-minded, they will keep attacking once they find their target, spears, rolling stones, sassers, and crossbow arrows do not intimidate them, and they climb up against all kinds of attacks until they die.

The lava lake is still tumbling, sweeping the demons of death to the bottom and bringing new demons from hell. The demonic attacks have not stopped from the beginning, and after the Flame Demon and the Horned Demon, a new demon race has joined the war, including high-level demons who can use magic.

Fire magic has a high amplification in lava environments, and all kinds of fire magic rush towards the coalition forces on the city walls with a dazzling light like meteors. With the surprised expressions of the coalition soldiers, the fire-based magic slammed into an invisible barrier, turning into a rain of fire and falling back into the furnace.

The mage tower on the fortress began to light up, and they formed a magic circle, and under the joint spell of the mages in the tower, the inner layer of the fortress formed an enchantment that could resist magical attacks.

However, the high-level demons did not give up their magic attacks because of the existence of the enchantment, and maintaining such an enchantment required a large supply of mana, and the mana consumed faster after encountering a magic attack. High-level demons don't die in vain like low-level demons, they hide in the middle of the lava lake, use fire shields to protect themselves from ranged weapons, and then use magic to attack the enchantment fiercely, as long as the allied magicians can't supply the enchantment's mana consumption, then they can use their fire magic to blast a gap for the demon army.

After seeing the intentions of the high-level demons, the magicians in the mage tower immediately used magic to gather fire on the high-level demons in the center of the furnace, but the demons have a unique talent for fire-based magic, and at the same time, the fire shield they jointly cast showed a strong protective ability in the lava environment, and the allied mages did not break the shield of the high-level demons, and the magic of both sides flew back and forth like fireworks above the furnace, with a dangerous beauty.

"I don't know when the battle will last, these are just testing our vanguard, we can't let our magicians consume too much, there will definitely be more brutal battles behind."

The high platform of the Elven Queen's coronation ceremony overlooked the entire battlefield, so the commanders of the coalition forces did not return to their original tent after the arrival of the demons, but set up the war command center here. At present, it seems that the coalition forces are playing in an orderly manner in all aspects, and if they only rely on these low-level demons, the demon army should not think that they can break out of the fortress. It's just that the few high-level demons in the center of the crucible are disgusting, and their small numbers have forced the coalition mages to maintain large barriers, and their fire shields don't seem to be easy to break.

"Leave it to me."

Rebecca, who had just become the queen of the elves, was thinking about how to show off her magical talents in front of her people, and now a few unlucky ghosts happened to attract everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty is not possible!" The current chief elder of the elves, the former speaker of the Elven Council, hurriedly stopped: "The elven kingdom exists because of His Majesty, so His Majesty should not take the danger lightly, these are just a few high-level demons, if they make His Majesty dissatisfied, I am willing to kill them on behalf of His Majesty." ”

"It's immoral to rob monsters," Rebecca said something that confused the elders, and let out a whistling into the night sky outside the altar.

Then a huge black shadow descended from the sky.

It's a black dragon! Caught off guard, the black dragon had already slashed under the altar in front of the stunned crowd, and then flew towards the center of the furnace.

"Oh no, the black dragon is here! Protect Her Majesty the Queen. The elder shouted to the elven guards, but as soon as he turned around, he realized that the queen was gone, "Your Majesty, where has your Majesty gone?" ”

Seeing the panicked elf elder, Ling Xiao, who was directing the scene shooting, kindly helped him.

Only then did the elder realize that his queen was standing on the back of the black dragon: "It turns out that the legend that His Majesty has subdued a black dragon is true. ”

Dragons are also top-notch creatures for demons, otherwise they wouldn't have used the way of offering hell sulfur to win over the Black Dragons to form an alliance.

At this time, those high-level demons saw a black dragon flying towards them from the sky, thinking that it was the support sent by the black dragon at the request. The arrival of such a powerful allied support made them cheer excitedly. With the Black Dragon attacking the Coalition's fortress from above, the Demon Army breached the fortress with ease.

The high-level demons stopped their magic attacks and waved at the approaching black dragon, but they didn't want the black dragon to respond to them with a scorching dragon breath.

Demons have good fire resistance due to the environment in which they live, but that doesn't mean they won't be burned to death by fire, as Ling Xiao said, "Fire can destroy it, if not, it's just because the firepower is not enough." ”

Obviously, the dragon breath of the black dragon was not something that these high-level demons could resist, and they quickly turned to ashes in a roar of sorrow and doubt
