55、Battle of Harudel City (7)

Strictly speaking, when the Iron Fist Mercenary Group encountered an ambush and signaled for help, the team led by Flavi was not far from the location of the Iron Fist Mercenary Group's ambush. It's just that halfway to the rescue, I was slightly delayed for a while because I encountered a sneak attack by another small group of monsters, so it seemed a little late.

Looking at the Xuanyuan Adventure Group's side, although Li Xiang and the others were far away from the Iron Fist Mercenary Group when the signal was issued, they had already known a little about the traps in the area west of the city they passed through through the captured dark troll wizards, and although the rescue route formulated based on this was a little farther, it avoided sudden encounters to the greatest extent. In addition, relying on Luo Xu to send part of the combat support to the trapped Iron Fist mercenary group in advance, this saved the trapped friendly troops from being wiped out.

The subordinates of the three teams were cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded, while the senior members of the teams gathered together for a brief exchange of information.

"Can you be sure that the altar built by the demon is located in the slums north of the city?" Mavis looked at Li Xiang and asked in a tone that didn't seem scathing, "Is it possible that the troll is confusing the public?" ”

"After being slashed with a knife and burned again, it's unlikely that the troll will survive the torture and tell a lie." Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said.

"That's hard to say." Mavis shook his head, still skeptical, but secretly terrified. Demons are fierce by nature, and even trolls who belong to half-blood demons do not easily succumb to humans. What kind of torture can make a troll confess?

How could Mavis, who didn't know much about torture methods, think that the ancient China on the earth, its thousands of years of cultural heritage should not be underestimated, and the variety of punishment methods is just a small trick in this ancient country civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years.

Unlike Mavis's reaction, Flavi was lost in thought after learning the information. Although Mavis has participated in the kingdom's national war against the demon legion that occurs every ten years, with the strength of him and his mercenary group, he is at best a marginal role to assist in the battle on the non-main front. Flavi is not, as the elite of the knights under the jurisdiction of an aristocratic force, she has truly experienced a war of millions of scales. Back then, she had the privilege of seeing the altar set up by the demon from afar, and the scene was shocking - the altar was clearly made of the flesh and bones of countless creatures! Moreover, I have heard some strong people who have participated in several national wars say that the demons often set up altars in the places where it is easiest to obtain the flesh and bones of living beings, in order to make it easier to build.

And where is the most densely populated city in a city? The answer is definitely not the pampered aristocracy and the affluent upper towns, but the slums full of poor people.

According to intelligence, when the city of Harudel fell, almost all the people who did not have time to flee were poor people in the slums. And according to the nature of demons, the probability of setting up an altar in the slum is more than ninety percent!

This was a speculation made by Kashya and his subordinates before the war. At this time, after comparing the information provided by Li Xiang, its accuracy rate is almost 100%!

"Lord Kashya-sama must be informed of this." Flavi secretly decided.

Just then, a shrill sound reappeared. Everyone followed the sound and saw that the direction from which the sound came from, the smoke trail that went straight to the sky was actually black!

This is an urgent signal to gather all the raiding forces in the city! The meaning of this signal is 'Discover the main force of the demon group'!

"It's only four blocks away!" Flavi's face changed dramatically when he saw the signal, and he immediately raised his voice and greeted: "All the Rog Knights are assembled!" Rush to the rescue! Then she jumped on her mount and rode to the place where the signal had been given.

The surrounding Rog Knights also jumped on their mounts and rode their horses to follow.

"Old Yang!" Li Xiang turned to greet Yang Qianyu.

"Got it!" Yang Qianyu jumped onto the roof. "Jinzi, Dapeng, Xiaojing, Kaidong, Xue'er, Lu Yuan, Guo Qi! Let's get over first! With that, Yang Qianyu jumped on the roof and hurried to the place of the incident, and the other seven people also showed their own means to follow.

After Yang Qianyu and the other eight people set off, Li Xiang persuaded Mavis: "Commander Mavis, your regiment is now seriously injured, it is better to rest in place and not participate in the next battle." ”

"This ......" Mavis hesitated for a moment, looked at his subordinates who were almost all injured after the battle, and knew that his team could no longer provide any help in the next battle, and it was easy to become a burden if he went. I could only accept Li Xiang's suggestion gloomily. Build defenses on the spot and rest in formation.

"Let's go up too!" After arranging for Mavis and his team, Li Xiang also beckoned the rest of his companions to rush towards the place of the incident.

……

The slum blocks are only two or three hundred meters long, and the four blocks are just over a kilometer long. At the current speed of Yang Qianyu and the others, the attack at a distance of more than 1,000 meters took less than two minutes.

And the scene that caught everyone's eyes was enough to shock them.

The signal was given in an area where all the buildings had been bulldozed, and the ground was littered with dried bones of dark red blood, which had been trampled repeatedly and had long since become fragments, and they were not at all visible. The ground in a radius of 100 meters was covered with such bone fragments, and from a distance, it looked like a large red and white 'carpet' covering the ground.

And in the middle of the area, there is a building, the whole body of the building is dark red, and if you look closely, it is actually an altar made entirely of flesh and blood, and I don't know what secret method is used to solidify it! On the top of the altar was a man-sized object, diamond-shaped, eight-sided, and black like a hedron all over. There was a trace of black mist emitting from it, and these escaping black mist were absorbed by a circle of runes drawn on the top of the altar, and then wisps of fishy smell escaped from the base of the altar.

Yang Qianyu and the others and Flavi's team arrived at the scene almost at the same time, and at this time, a large group of people and horses in the field were already confronting dozens of demons located around the altar.

On the human side, all of them are bowed and unsheathed, and they look like they are ready to fight. The leader, Kasha Leopold, dressed in a suit of chest armor and a red cloak, held a spear in the shape of a trident with a threaded tip and a threaded tip at the end of the spear, staring at the demon opposite. Looking at the blue glow of the blade and tail of the spear held by Kasha, you can see that this weapon is an extraordinary weapon.

Looking at the demon side again, the number was less than a fraction of the human side facing at this time, but after feeling the aura emanating from these demons, Yang Qianyu intuitively felt that the strength of these demons was not weak.

These demons were all of the same type, similar in stature to adult humans, with half-human, half-animal faces, antelope-like horns on their heads, thick brown or purple fur on their bodies, standing upright but legs like tigers and other beasts, and hands almost the same as those of humans. The weapon he held was a large, one-handed scimitar with a blade on the inside, the edge of the scimitar was dull, but no one doubted its sharpness.

'Name: Setters (Shadow Dancer)''Category: Demons-Demon Species''Level: Tier 3''Attributes: Strength A, Resistance B, Constitution B, Agility A+, Spirit D''Characteristics: Shadow Flash'

'Name: Setters (Wild)''Category: Demons-Demon Species'''Level: 4''Attributes: Strength S, Resistance B+, Constitution B, Agility B+, Spirit D''Characteristic: Strength'

The Setus Demon is a middle-class demon that appears on the battlefield as the main force in the Demon Realm. These guys are bohemian and unruly by nature, and all the abilities they have in their instincts are for the sake of killing.

Yang Qianyu counted the number. There are a total of seven Wild Settes and twenty-one Shadow Dance Settes. According to the command system of the demon race, the seven Wild Settes were obviously each commanding the three Shadow Dance Settes. It's just that the wild Settes of the same rank will definitely not obey each other's commands, so there must be a final boss in the demon group who has not appeared. And this boss must be the legendary high-level demon entrenched here.

"Assert ......"

Just as Yang Qianyu was thinking, there was a creepy laugh from the demon group, and then a voice came.

"You humble humans dare to trespass into my territory!"

As the voice came out, the demons flashed to both sides and a figure appeared in front of everyone, this figure stood at the foot of the altar and looked down at the people in front of them, and said in a calm but fierce tone: "You are killing yourself!! ”

At this time, the appearance of this high-ranking demon was also clearly seen by everyone.

"How is this possible?"

Yang Qianyu couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw the true face of this figure.

"This figure...... It's actually ...... Mankind?! ”
