Chapter 978: Support
Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of the mage regiment in Baghlouf is not weak. At least it can be combined with the bed crossbow to suppress those demon warriors with the advantage of long-range strikes. Although this did not cause them any casualties, at least it did not threaten the city walls.
Even watching those Xue Manling's cavalry go to copy their back roads, these demon warriors didn't have any intention of organizing, as if they didn't care about those at all, and only cared about how to break through the city wall in front of them.
"Raise your shield!"
Seeing that the demon warriors below forcibly pushed the battle line to a stone's throw with the defense of their armor, Ireles decisively ordered to defend. Although she hadn't seen the archery skills of those demon warriors, she had heard about them from Joblin. It is said that at that time, Wilcas of the Half Moon Collar almost died under the arrow of a demon warrior.
Sure enough, the moment the warriors of the Xue Manling Collar here had just put their shields up, the few rows of demon warriors over there had already opened the longbow in their hands.
These demon archers didn't even need to shoot at too many angles, and those flying arrows didn't even fall, and they rushed straight to the soldiers who had just raised their shields on the walls of Xueman City.
For a moment, the sound of arrows hitting the shield was endless, and the powerful force carried by the black arrows soon shook the shields that the soldiers on the city wall had just raised. They didn't even hold out until the end of a rain of arrows, and there were quite a few casualties. Some of the arrows even pierced directly through the standard shields of the Xueman soldiers, and then the soldiers who had no time to react were hit! If it weren't for the quick reaction of the mages behind them and the rapid support of an enchantment, it is estimated that the mage group would have suffered heavy damage in this rain of arrows. No matter how powerful the demon arrows are, they can also play a certain role in the process of testing the protection of the armor, but these mages in cloth robes will cry blind when they encounter arrows. Mage armor can help these mages to some extent, but only if they have enough time to use it. In the face of this situation, only the spell that is released instantaneously such as the enchantment technique can work.
Fortunately, the arrows of these demon warriors are not unlimited, and shooting such powerful arrows has also caused a great drain on their physical strength, and the arrow rain has stopped after a short time, and the two parties have fallen into a new round of tug-of-war......
It was already morning, and the battle between the two sides had finally come to an end. However, the warriors on the demon side are still gathering at a constant speed. Although Baghlouf could not see the tragic situation near the Gate of Annihilation, he could guess from the situation in front of him how many of his people had been dragged to sacrifice by these damn creatures.
But fortunately, just when Baglouf felt that there was no hope of resisting the attack of these demon warriors, the reinforcements of the Half Moon Leader finally came.
"Where's your Lord Wei Xu?" Looking at Tolan, the leader of the Half Moon Leader's group of believers' army in front of him, Baglouf frowned slightly. He originally thought that Wei Xu would come over, but he didn't expect that kid to send this vigilant army under his command first.
"Lord Wei Xu, he's going to deal with the Gate of Annihilation......" Tolan bowed to Baggrove and replied decently.
"Dealing with the Gate of Annihilation? How did that kid get past the Gate of Annihilation? It's all demon warriors outside......"
Tolan innocently pointed to the sky and motioned for Baglouf to look up.
Baghlouf looked in the direction of Tolan's finger, and vaguely saw the figures of several dragons flying through the sky and flying into the distance......
At the Gate of Annihilation.
At this time, there were thousands of fresh warrior corpses on the magic circle outside, as well as thousands of white horse corpses. However, the light of the circle was much more erratic. According to the previous situation, the sacrifice of nearly 2,000 creatures should have at least 1,500 demon warriors stepping out of it, but what makes people wonder is that the gate of annihilation seems to be malfunctioning, constantly expanding and shrinking, but not a single demon warrior comes out.
After a few breaths, the Gate of Annihilation suddenly swelled in a circle, and the light of the circle also soared. Streams of blood-colored energy were sucked out of the corpse, converging towards the location of the Gate of Annihilation at a speed several times higher than before. The thousands of corpses withered at a rate ten times faster than before under the high-speed operation of the circle.
It looks like the efficiency of the magic circle and the Gate of Annihilation has increased, but the speed of the demon warriors appearing in the Gate of Annihilation is still the same as before, without the slightest change. Seeing that the Gate of Annihilation shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye after sucking these corpses dry, the demon slaves on the side suddenly hurriedly accelerated the speed of sacrifice under the overseer's leather whip. No one noticed that there were a few more dragons hovering in the sky.
"Originally, we were still having a headache how to destroy this Gate of Annihilation, but now it seems that someone has helped us complete most of the tasks." Wei Xu and Skdorf glanced at each other and laughed with relief. "The support point located in Annihilation has been destroyed, so we just need to do something to those magic circles, and wait until the staff is revealed due to the shrinking of the Annihilation Gate......
"But my lord...... Don't we have to wait for those who go in and destroy the Gate of Annihilation? Norantor asked, a little uneasy. After all......"
He just secretly sent Evena, Kiel and the others out and immediately rushed back, and when he came back, he happened to encounter this incident, and he was directly arrested by Wei Xu.
"Even if the probability of me wanting to retreat after entering annihilation is estimated to be less than eleven, let alone them......" Wei Xu did not directly veto Nolantor's proposal, but sighed softly.
Skdorf on the side said directly: "They were already dead when they decided to rush into annihilation, Nolan. They...... Is it possible to get out of it or rush out again...... However, they still died on the battlefield after all, and the Nord Holy Land of Sorenga will have their place! ”
Wei Xu's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened: "We can't waste any more time, attack!" ”
Wei Xu's voice was shouted in dragon language, and at the moment this sound came out, the eight giant dragons around him swooped down directly when they heard the order, and at the same time, one by one, they were also ready to breathe flames.
“Yol Toor Shul!”
With the roar, the vicinity of the magic circle on the ground suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and those demon slaves were directly frightened, screaming and running in all directions.
At the same time, when the dragons were about to pull up and fly, the warriors on the dragon's back suddenly opened their hands with the spatial rings, and the dwarven guards were thrown down. After these spherical warriors landed, they stood upright and rushed towards the demon warriors around them who were still trying to use their bows and arrows to deal with the dragons, not giving them a chance to stretch their bows at all.
The power of the flame breath is indeed very strong, especially when it is released from the dragon's mouth. Under the roar, the sacrifices around the circle were cleaned up, and the undried blood was evaporated.
The Gate of Annihilation, which had lost its energy supply, suddenly shrunk, like a cat's pupil, gradually shrunk into a vertical slit, and the Rose Staff, which was originally invisible, and the ebony blade on the side loomed on the edge of the Gate of Annihilation......
