Chapter 61: Whose Hand Will Kill the Deer (3)
Seeing that reinforcements had finally arrived, Harry, the centaur leader who was guarding the passage surrounded by several soldiers, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in his opinion, if nothing else, it was only a matter of time before these big-eared monsters were eliminated.
But his luck was really bad, and the accident happened.
A centaur soldier reported that a human army had been spotted outside the gate.
Armed with a strange shape of spear, the human soldiers were lunging at the centaurs in a murderous manner.
"Enemy attack in the rear! Veer! Array! ”
Harry panicked, he finally understood why he had the illusion that the sound of a fight was coming from behind him.
It wasn't a delusion at all, it was the humans attacking the half-human soldiers they had deployed outside the door!
He didn't have time to regret why he only cared about the battle situation in front of him at that time, but he didn't send people to check the situation outside in time, and the opponent's bright spear was about to kill him at this time.
Harry was about to raise his spear to parry, but was shot in the face by an arrow that shot out of nowhere.
The feathered arrow was so ferocious that it pierced Harry's skull, and the sharp arrow pierced the back of his head.
The centaur leader's face quickly formed a layer of sparkling ice crystals, and he fell to the ground with a heavy clamour.
The sudden death of the leader caused the centaur soldiers in the passage to be in a big mess, and they were forced out of the passage by the soldiers of the lord's guard, and they all retreated to the castle hall.
This anomaly was immediately spotted by the sharp-eyed Polly.
"They're coming, they're coming! Everyone, rush! He exclaimed excitedly.
In response to his shout, a flaming wall of fire suddenly appeared behind the big-eared monsters, cutting off the path of the elven archers who were constantly moving towards the big-eared monsters.
Fire magic "Fire Demon Wall".
The sorceress finally arrived.
Some of the elven soldiers, who didn't have time to stop, crashed headlong into the wall of fire, and then fell to the ground screaming, charred and black.
The remnants of the big-eared monsters let out a cheer in unison, they were now so eager for the appearance of the magician who had given them so much fear.
Robert, who was fighting side by side with Polly, was about to fall into tears of excitement.
The strong, big-eared monster leader, Orison, once again exerted his might and slashed one of the centaurs that was opposing him with his head and shoulders flying.
Correspondingly, the centaur soldiers and some of the elven soldiers who had already entered the war group were completely confused.
They lost command and were flanked by the enemy on both sides.
There is also a powerful fire mage on the other side!
His own reinforcements were even stopped by this magician with a wall of fire!
The scene in front of him strongly stimulated Ivo's nerves, although he repeatedly warned himself to be calm and rational, but the successive bad news made him involuntarily angry and thunderous.
Some of the centaurs who had been removed from the walls reported that they had spotted enemy forces outside the castle, and that they were strong, including archers and magicians, who had easily defeated the elven Pegasus knights they had stationed on them, and were now rushing towards the castle.
A dwarf has been sent by Morgan to report the situation, and the enemies underground do not seem to be resting and are making some strange moves, and the dwarven warriors are now in the cellar and are asking Ivo to send troops for support.
The news, combined with the chaos in front of him, turned Ivo's brain into chaos.
What's going on?
How did the big-eared monsters get out of the dungeon? And where did their weapons come from? And why are they fighting for humanity? Aren't they mortal enemies?
What about the human army outside the castle? How many archers do they have? How many magicians are there? Where were they hiding before? Why didn't their own soldiers find out about their existence?
And what are the enemies underneath going to do? Do they want to counterattack from the tunnels? Have they already planned to join forces with the enemy outside to attack them at night?
Could it be that the information is false, this lord has actually been hiding his strength all along, and has set a trap waiting for him to take the bait?
A series of questions made Ivojue's head almost burst.
It didn't occur to him at all that the reports of the centaurs and dwarves were wrong.
The centaurs on the walls were frightened by the enemy's magic and arrows, and had no idea how many enemies there were outside, and were only reporting by guess.
The dwarves who stayed behind underground, although they heard the enemy's movements, did not know what the enemy wanted to do, and they did not dare to check - there were too many dead dwarves in that tunnel.
They chose to report back to Morgan, the leader of the dwarves who was guarding the cellar.
After Morgan received the report, he took it for granted that the enemy wanted to counterattack, because at this time the castle was in chaos, and the sound of killing was shocking.
It's not like you want to go up and down, what else can it be?
Two misinformation messages made Ivo misjudge the situation.
"Can't let them take the gates! They must be kicked out! Ivo yelled and gave what he thought was the most correct order, "Shooters go up the walls!" Pegasus Knights stay! Notice Morgan! Let him not stop the enemy's counterattack! ”
At this moment, the magical wall of fire in the hall disappeared.
The two elven magicians finally made a move.
The water magician Sozeton casts the "Exorcism Method", and it is this dispelling magic that eliminates the opponent's fire wall.
The earth mage Charita uses the "Great Law of Slowness", a magic that causes the hard ground in the castle hall to suddenly become as soft as a swamp.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting to the death only felt that their feet suddenly sank, and it became quite difficult to move, and those with less strength could only stay in place and could not move.
The elven magician's entry into the battle changed the situation on the scene.
The big-eared monsters who were about to break through the opponent's defense were forcibly blocked by the momentum of the charge.
Dozens of skilled elven knights quickly joined the warband under Ivo's orders, and because they were indoors, these knights had to act as infantry, although they were also affected by the ground and their speed was greatly reduced, but this did not prevent them from removing their longbows and shooting their opponents.
If it weren't for the chaos between the big-eared monsters and the centaurs, they would have shot the big-eared monsters in the hall long ago.
"They have magicians too! Two! The sorceress found two of her elven companions in the hall, and these two elven mages were so conspicuous that they were not only wearing mage's robes, but also wearing bright magic shields.
"Don't let them cast spells! Interfere with them! The sorceress yelled at the half-elves, and at the same time threw a "hell flame", burning a dozen or so elven knights who were gathering together and bending their bows and arrows and moving slowly.
The captain of the half-elven guard answered, and the griffon's bow in his hand was full again.
