Chapter 465: Street Encounter

Corthero knew the demons that flew out of the ruins of the building. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Winged Horned Demon, a variant of the Horned Demon.

Horned demons, which belong to a common type of low-level demons. They are much stronger than the lowest-level inferior demons and cowardly demons, and they can be regarded as the main force in the demon army.

Often, even a trained and experienced veteran struggles to overcome them in a one-on-one confrontation.

The Winged Horned Demon, as the name suggests, is a Horned Demon that grows a pair of wings. They are very similar in appearance to normal horned demons, except for the pair of wings on their backs.

However, it is precisely this pair of wings that gives them a tactical significance beyond their peers among the demon legions.

There is no way for the Winged Horn to hover hundreds of meters in the air and fly long distances like real flying creatures, such as griffins. At most, they are able to maintain a flight condition for a few minutes, and they are rarely able to fly to an altitude of more than 100 meters.

But just this limited ability to fly still makes them very difficult.

Like now.

As soon as Corsero's Ranger unit had completed a round of shooting, the cunning demons immediately launched an offensive. Hundreds of two-winged horned demons that suddenly flew out directly at a height of more than ten meters, crossed the defense line of the sword dancers, and rushed straight towards the ranger troops!

Corcello's scalp is numb!

The enemy's attack was too fierce, and a large number of demons were preparing to storm his defense, among which the number of horn demons was the largest, followed by the existence of some demon refining and barb demons. Although the number of these two demons is rarer, in terms of combat power, they are much stronger than horned demons!

These rushing demons were enough to make Corcello feel tricky, and the swooping attack launched by the Winged Horned Demon against the ranger troops made him smell defeat.

The elven colonel has already realized that this is a tough battle, and if you don't do it, you will really lose!

In such a situation, it aroused the ferocity in his heart: he himself was a commander characterized by bravery, boldness, and radicalism, and the way he cowered before was really not his style.

And now, when he is already facing a difficult situation, he feels that he has gotten rid of the shackles on his body and can let go of a good fight!

After passing the mage and informing General Perhince of his situation here, Corcello is ready to fight the enemy to the death!

"The Ranger troop is ready for hand-to-hand combat! Sword dancers relax their formation and prepare for a counter-charge! Follow the Nightblade Panthers! ”

While the three commands were issued in succession, he also took out the moon blade hanging on his back and raised it high!

"Rush!"

The Nightblade Leopard, which accelerated extremely quickly in an instant, quickly inserted itself from the flanks with the cavalry on their backs. The cavalry followed behind the Colonel, and in the blink of an eye, just before the Winged Horned Demons fell, they arrived at a position where they could attack the Winged Horned Demons.

A large area of silver-white light flickered, and a whole cavalry of the Nightblade Leopard Brigade, following Colonel Corcello's movements, threw the moonblade in their hands together.

The spinning moon blade drew a beautiful white rainbow in the sky, cutting a scarlet-stinking, hot blood.

The timely arrival of the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry is very significant. The spinning blades they shot sent at least half of the Winged Horns down from the air with a single blow.

The number of winged horned demons has plummeted, and the impact on the ranger troops has been reduced a lot. The only people who actually landed on the ground and inflicted damage on the ranger troops were about fifty or sixty two-winged horned demons.

However, the moment these winged horned demons fell, Corserro's forces were dealt a serious blow.

The power of these winged horned demons swooping out of mid-air was too strong. It is very difficult for any ranger to get rid of any ranger as long as he is targeted by the demon in his head. Those winged horned demons who fell from the sky, with their strong and powerful arms, firmly controlled the ranger on their bodies. The claws fiercely tore at the thin body of the elf ranger, and above the hideous face, the big mouth with salivation suddenly opened, almost able to completely wrap the head of an elf into it!

That's exactly what they do. Corcello saw with his own eyes that more than one ranger was pounced on by the demon, and his head was completely wrapped in the demon's mouth, and then he slammed it together, and the huge bite force directly bit the elf's head off the neck!

The blood gushing madly stained the demon. They don't feel sick because of this, and the warm blood further provokes the ferocity of the demon.

This round of dive attack caused at least more than 50 casualties among the elven rangers, which almost meant that an entire ranger squadron was reimbursed!

But the elven troops have already reacted. The ranger, who was closer to the demon, directly drew the scimitar on his waist and pounced bravely towards the demon!

The Ranger troop is not the same as the average archer, and the scimitar at their waist is not an ornament! It is true that the sword skills of the Elven Ranger are slightly different from those of the Elven Sword Dancer, and they are not as good at special body techniques in hand-to-hand combat as the Sword Dancer, so they can avoid damage as much as possible.

But that doesn't mean they don't have the courage to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!

The sharpest weapons of the rangers are naturally the bows and arrows in their hands. If they don't have to, they certainly won't go crazy and abandon their best strengths to fight the enemy with their flesh and blood. But now there is no way, the attack of the Winged Horned Demon is too fierce, and they have to fight hard!

Ranger with a scimitar in hand, the figure rushing forward with the cloak behind them agitated in the wind, and one or two rangers flanked a two-winged horned demon, temporarily containing the wreak of those demons. As for the other rangers who were far away from the Winged Demon, they either retreated or panned, and after pulling out a certain distance, they drew their arrows, drew their bows, and fired!

The sturdy elves are able to shoot accurate arrows while jumping and running. When you get closer, their accuracy rate is frighteningly high! Even if the demons are physically strong and resistant to damage, sometimes an arrow shot into their shoulder will not affect their actions too much.

But if the arrow goes straight into the eye, or hits the head, neck, or heart, the demon will not survive.

Not to mention, when the wreath of these two-winged horned demons was contained and some time was snatched up, the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry led by Corsero himself also arrived!

After throwing a round of crescent, the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry had already quickly pounced on the rangers' position. The whirling moonblades returned to the cavalry, wielding their weapons and harnessing the beasts as they pounced on the demons who were battling the rangers.

The combat effectiveness of the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry is much stronger than that of the rangers. The Nightblade Leopard jumped up and pounced on it, stretching out its body to reach a height of at least three meters above its tail, and its physique was even stronger than that of the demon!

The demons that have been struck down will need to meet the razor-sharp teeth of the roaring beasts and the moonblades wielded by their cavalry!

Three hundred cavalrymen who controlled the beasts, commanded the leopards, and within two or three minutes, with the cooperation of the rangers, the winged demons who dared to raid the ranger troops were wiped out.

And at this time, the sword dancers and the demon army coming from front have also collided together!

After receiving the order to take the initiative to attack, the seven or eight hundred sword dancers, under the command of the officer, took the initiative to rush out towards the demons who came to them. They were facing an army of demons that were much stronger and a third more numerous!

The moment the two armies collided, the Sword Dancers suffered huge casualties. Under the hedge, the shortcomings of the sword dancer's slightly weak physical condition have been magnified to a large extent. Few sword dancers can use their dual swords to inflict lethal damage on demons at the moment of hedging, but even if the demon does not use fangs and claws, relying only on its strong body, it is enough to knock the emaciated elf to the ground at the moment of collision.

This dealt a big blow to the sword dancers, and at least a hundred sword dancers were killed within a minute or two of the moment the two armies intersected. And the price paid by the demon is less than half of this number.

But that doesn't mean that Corsero's previous order for the sword dancers to take the initiative was wrong. On the other hand, if the thin elves, as they did at the beginning, maintain a defensive formation and wait for the impact, then they will only face a worse situation than they are now.

When the two sides charged at each other, the losses of the sword dancers were certainly much greater than those of the enemy. But when they entered the melee, the sword dancers' more agile skills and superb swordsmanship were able to exert some effect.

Of course, in the midst of the demonic fight, the sword dancer is still at a disadvantage due to lack of manpower, but at least, there is no direct sign of collapse for the time being, and he can still fight a dozen.

On the other side, after solving the surprise attack of the Winged Horned Demon, Corthro and the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry led by him also took time to support the battlefield. When these huge leopards rode into the formation of the demons who were fighting the sword dancers, they really scattered the enemies a lot. At the same time, the ranger troops in the rear also regrouped, drew their longbows, and threw arrows.

At this point, Corcello was finally able to resolve the crisis at the beginning of the battle. You know, when the war just started, he even thought that he was really going to be defeated.

The situation is not too good now, and his troops are still fighting hard. In particular, the middle demons among the demons, such as the Barbed Demon and the Demon Refining Demon, are very powerful and pose a very big threat to his troops.

Usually, one barb demon is enough to deal with the siege of four or five sword dancers. These left hands are replaced by a huge hard barb, and the height of the big guys can generally reach two meters and five, a hook down, fierce, fast, and powerful, but if they are hooked, it is a life flow.

Not to mention the sword dancer, even the more powerful Nightblade Leopard Cavalry has no advantage against the Barb Demon.

Corsero knew this firsthand. He harnessed the Nightblade Panther and personally fought a barbed demon. Although, in the end, with his excellent skills, he used the moon blade to cut off the head of the barb demon, but the whistling hook still shocked him into a cold sweat, and even made him have the experience of dying more than once.

However, although the battle was relatively hard, at least the overall battle situation has stabilized, and his troops no longer seem to have suffered a large number of casualties by demons as if they had just started the war.

Such a battle lasted fifteen minutes. During these fifteen minutes, the attrition of his wing was severe, and at least 300 people died in the battle. And the number of casualties of the demons on the other side is just the same as them.

The situation was still bad, and Corcello didn't want to continue fighting at such a casualty ratio - that would mean that after destroying the demon army in front of him, his wing would also be directly crippled, and he would have to withdraw from the battle sequence. This is absolutely unacceptable to him. He also wants to achieve greater feats in this war and get the rank of general in one fell swoop!

But retreat? He hadn't even thought of it. With such an anxious battle situation, how could he be allowed to retreat? Doesn't this retreat mean exposing your back to those demons and giving them to kill them?

He can only continue to grit his teeth and lead his troops to fight, and hopes that his troops will be more resilient and more able to persevere, so that in the later stage of the battle, they can play a more advantageous situation.

At the same time, he was still waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Twenty minutes after the battle began, when the casualties of his troops had expanded to nearly four hundred or more, reinforcements had finally arrived!

The classic elven arrow rain is thrown into the battlefield!

Ordinary troops would never dare to throw arrows directly while friendly forces are still engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which is undoubtedly a murder of friendly troops.

But the elves dare, and this is due to their absolute confidence in their archery! They are confident in their marksmanship, and even if they can't shoot the enemy, they will never shoot their own people.

Corthero commanded the Nightblade Leopard, and after knocking down the horned demon in front of him, he had the time to turn his head to take a look. I saw a heroic ranger captain, with thousands of troops, galloping from the other side of the street.

He was overjoyed, it was the troops of General Pehins' aide-de-camp, Colonel Pearl! Six hundred Elven Rangers, and an equal number of sword dancers, are galloping in!

The support he'd been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived!

Fifteen minutes later, the two wings joined forces and finally repelled the attacking demons. The demons left eight or nine hundred corpses on this battlefield, and the rest fled in a hurry.
