Chapter XXXIV
The average height of the Demon Guardians is more than two meters, and the top and back of their heads are covered with thick spines that rise from the sky, making them even taller and more hideous, and the heavy armor completely covers their legs, right arms, and backs, but the front of their upper body is not covered by anything, and their strong dark blue chest is exposed to the air.
Most demons tend to fight using magic, but Demon Guardians are completely different, they don't know any magic, but they have high spell resistance and only rely on pure physical attacks to overwhelm their opponents. As the basic infantry of the Burning Legion, they are like a never-ending torrent that spreads the horrors of the Legion into the universe.
To deal with this kind of demon, there is only a hard fight, but fortunately, there are not many demon guards.
A hard battle unfolded between the narrow mountain roads, the narrowest part of the mountain road could only accommodate three or four demon guards fighting side by side, Purhat was at the front, a little out of touch with the troops behind, he brandished a huge shield and fiercely bombarded the enemies on all sides, here only the tall man could look at these demons.
Unas admired Purhart's staying power, this guy fought from beginning to end, where he was the most difficult, he never stopped, everyone else was lying down, he was still fighting on the front line, and sure enough, anti-riding is the king.
The two Unas were programmed into the next round of attacks by a knight captain, and while helping the people next to them to add BUFFs, they nervously waited for the moment to play.
The battle was fierce in a small space, victory was in sight, and in order to reduce unnecessary losses, the wounded were constantly removed and replaced by substitutes.
As another group of soldiers retreated, the knight captain raised his sword in the air, and then swung it down: "Charge!" ”
Unas commanded the skeletal horse to charge the mountain at full speed, the strong stench of sulfur hit his nose, and the bonehorse climbed much faster than the live horse, and he shook off the others at once, and crashed into the enemy line like a gust of wind.
One of the demon guards armed with a giant axe was knocked directly to the ground by him, and with the momentum, Unas picked up the hammer and smashed the other another, but the momentum was also exhausted, and two giant blades beckoned to him at the same time.
Half of his body was numb with all his strength, and he was powerless to dodge for a while, seeing that the two giant blades were about to cut him into three pieces, Unas hurriedly said silently in his heart: "Receive!" ”
The smoke dispersed, and the skeleton war horse was instantly put into his backpack, and the seat was empty, and he was prepared to roll down his head and fall to the ground, the giant blade could be grazed from his scalp, and the top of his head only felt cold.
Before he could stand up, the light suddenly dimmed, and two demon guards came from the left and the right, and at this time, Erigor and the other warriors behind him finally rushed up, and the two demons were instantly drowned in the crowd.
The addition of the new forces pushed the battle line forward by more than ten meters, and merged with Pulhat, who was too forward and was encircled, and with him in front, everyone's pressure was reduced a lot.
Unas's head was still chilling, and he didn't dare to rush up again, so he pretended to follow behind with a left and right sway, put some skills such as "judgment" and "dedication", added buffs to everyone, and threw out a few holy light spells from time to time, and temporarily made a cameo role as a wet nurse.
Take the time to open the attribute panel, the experience has risen to 81%, and you will be able to upgrade to level 23 soon, the experience of this level is almost all mixed, Unas feels a little embarrassed to hide behind, do you want to go up and kill it? Anyway, I'm not afraid of getting hurt, and I'll be able to get full as soon as I upgrade my status.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion on the top of the mountain, which sounded like the shouts of human beings.
There was also a little commotion in the demon array blocked on the mountain road, and an unusually tall, red-chested demon guard roared a few demonic words, and the demon guards in the back row of the enemy formation began to slowly retreat to the top of the mountain.
Whatever happened at the top of the hill was a great opportunity, and Pullhart stopped, and a strong silver light burst out from him, forming a giant hammer almost two people tall above his head.
"The power of justice!" Before Pulhart's roar fell, the giant hammer composed of silver light let out a deep "whining" sound, and swept forward at high speed.
The demon guards were crushed by the giant hammer like dolls, and no less than ten demons were directly bombarded, and many more were knocked to the ground and rolled down the mountain.
Pulhart gasped violently, but he didn't stop, holding the giant shield and continuing to rush forward, the soldiers were enthusiastic, taking advantage of this momentum, pressing with all their strength, and then advancing a long distance, the top of the mountain was in front of him!
The noise on the top of the mountain became louder and louder, the demons began to retreat, our side advanced step by step, at this moment Unas's courage to be scared away flew back to his body, he was fully skilled, feeling the boiling holy energy in his body, he raised the silver hammer and rushed towards the enemy at a speed of a hundred meters sprint.
Verrigan's fist collided violently with the giant blade of the demon soldier, and with a loud "dang" sound in his ears, Unas's arms went numb, and his body was involuntarily knocked out by this huge force.
He sat down on the ground with a thud, only to see that the demon who was fighting with him on the other side was also knocked to the ground, and was pierced through the chest by a spear that followed.
The enemy was solved, but he was not happy at all, it turned out that his strength could only be tied with the minions of the Burning Legion, when would he be like Pulhart, a shield swept over, the enemy flew, and he did not move?
The desire to upgrade quickly became even more urgent, and someone behind him suddenly helped him up: "What are you in a daze?" Beware of being trampled to death by your own people! ”
Unas came back to his senses, thanked the soldier who had helped him up, and charged at the monster again with red eyes.
Labor and management need to be upgraded, so take the experience!
With this fanatical thirst for experience, Unas attacked desperately, and the demons were slowly retreating, and he was scrambled and hammered, and he actually broke a gap, and Unas became the first to reach the top of the mountain.
There was the first and there was the second, and the formation of the demon guardians finally broke up completely, and at this time, Unas also saw the source of the commotion, it turned out to be the group of men and horses who had followed Tairosus to the top of the mountain before.
They were locked in a bitter battle when Tyrosus flew into the sky to chase down the Dreadlord, but they didn't give up, and when Purhart led his team to the top of the mountain, they launched a brazen counterattack, forcing the Demon Guardians to divide their forces.
The Dreadlord's trick to lure the enemy deeper became a joke in front of them, but the price paid was also terrible, and less than ten of the more than forty people who rushed up together were still able to stand up, and all of them were wounded.
The road to the top of the mountain was opened, and the soldiers poured up, and the remaining demon guards were gradually surrounded, and the silver dawn did not need such low-level demon captives, and the demon guards would not surrender to humans.
Losing the advantage of location and numbers, the Demon Guardians were no longer able to fight back, and soon, as the last demon fell, the hundreds of Demon Guardians summoned by Bethrius were all annihilated.
In the process of killing the enemy, Unas was upgraded, and after the battle, he had time to check the attributes: strength +3, agility +0, constitution +2, wisdom +2, paladin level 23, experience 13%.
Unas noticed that the previous two upgrade attribute points added up to 8, but this time it was only 7 points, why is this? Too much mixed experience doesn't count?
But there was no time to think about it now, and before Poorhart could order the battle to end, the soldiers surrounded the boulder where Bethires was hiding.
Unas also came up to see the excitement, only to see a deep gap under the boulder, and Bethrius's doppelganger was probably hiding inside.
He and a few people next to him worked together to push away the boulder, and a pitch-black round hole appeared in front of him, and the large net that had been prepared was immediately cast, and the big net sealed the hole entrance, but nothing was caught.
When I got closer, I saw that the big hole was a man wide and bottomless, and there were probably traps in the hole, and no one dared to rush into it, and everyone waited for Purhardt's instructions.
"The entrance to the cave is sealed first," Pullhart guarded the edge of the cave with his sword, "Hans, you go find a few captives and ask." ”
Soon a small group of captives was escorted up the mountain, and the young soldier named Hans, who was a little stunned or communist, drew one prisoner from each race, making the group more like a group of ambassadors.
"There are many captives who are willing to cooperate, and these are the leaders, please interrogate them." Hans was a little proud.
Looking at this group of nine ambassadors composed of humans, elves, dwarves, trolls, orcs, ogres, kobolds, goblins, and gnolls, Purhart's eyes were straight, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Fortunately, the human captive spoke first: "Lord Paladin, I am Marcus Thorton, the champion knight of the Third Legion of Lordaeron, who fell into the control of demons after being defeated and was not rescued until today. ”
Then he bowed his head and half-knelt down: "I will swear to the service of the Silver Hand." ”
The champion knight is a very high military rank, the rank of the head of a standard regiment in the alliance is generally a major, the champion knight is only below the major, this guy should be a good talent, but being controlled by the demon is a very serious stain, at least it shows that this person's will is not strong enough, and he doesn't know what fate awaits him.
Purhart was a little indifferent to his enthusiastic allegiance: "Stand up, you just need to answer my question, do you know the situation of this big hole?" ”
"I'm sure it's Bethrys' lair, but I've never been there, except for demons and undead, only dwarves and kobolds are allowed in." Marcus did not lose heart and tried his best to appear sincere.
Pullhart turned to the dwarf and kobolds, both of whom were only as high as Pullhart's thighs, and the kobold threw up his ugly head and shouted, "Candles, I want mine, Wang!" ”
Pulhardt couldn't help but laugh and glared at Hans, and the young man hurriedly pulled the kobold away, and then the dwarf finally spoke: "I am Jomod Stonebrow of the Brotherhood of Steel, who was attacked and captured while transporting weapons for your human army, and as for this cave, it is indeed Bethrys' lair, it seems to be digging something, making water leaks everywhere, and we dwarves help to explore the geology and design the tunnel, I know so much." ”
"Are you familiar with the tunnels in the cave?"
"We're all blindfolded, and we're taken to different lots, and we all know only a little bit of it, and the main people who dig the holes are the undead and kobolds, you should ask them that question."
Kobolds, low-intelligence creatures can't communicate at all, let alone the undead, they still have to rely on themselves, Pullhart didn't ask more, and waved his hand: "The dwarves stay, and the others take them down." ”
"Prepare the torch to go down to the hole, and never let Bethires go!"
