Section 014, the offensive and defensive battle of the Demon King City

The attacking Shadow Elf troops seemed to be unaffected by the Demon King's fog, and their direction was very accurate, and they soon passed through the fairy forest and came to the Demon King's castle. It's still early in the morning, and it's still dark. Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Dante ordered all the lights in the castle to be lit to cheer up the Demon King's army for the first time.

He was first inside the castle, through the window, using the monoculars that Gad had given him, to carefully observe the situation of the elven troops. I saw that eighty two-sword elven warriors lined up in front, and the other archers stuck their shields on the ground, drew their bows and arrows, and were ready to shoot at any time. Two siege ballista trucks were placed at the end of the formation, and looking at them made people's scalps tingle.

However, the most worrying thing was the cloaked elf standing in the array. I saw that the elf wrapped himself tightly in a black cloak, and he was wearing a mask. It was completely unclear from the outside what weapon he was using, so it was impossible to deduce what moves this particular elf would use.

Judging from the current observations, this cloaked elf must be the leader of this army, because the surrounding elves will come out from time to time and ask a representative to ask the cloaked elves. The cloaked elf pointed at the questioner, as if giving orders.

Soon, the Shadow Elf troops lined up in the open space in front of the Demon King's Castle and set up torches to illuminate the surrounding environment.

After observing the enemy, Dante said to Gade, "Okay, I'm out!" You're going to have to take care of Ash and Aunt Coffeemaker! ”

Gade seemed to be moved by his resolute attitude, nodded and said, "Master, believe in yourself, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road!" ”

So, Dante went down the stairs, and as he went, he said to the Boggs, Gollum, and the little monsters who were lying in ambush in the corners of the hall on the first floor, "Hold steady, and see that I bring them in, and I will use my magic to close the door, and then you will kill them together." If the enemy is not tempted, I will summon you, and you will rush to the courtyard together, use the courtyard wall to avoid the bow and arrow fire, and try to attack the enemy in melee combat, and wear down their forces."

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

Walking to the castle exit gate, Dante took a deep breath and said to Black Wind and Galio with his heart, "Black Wind, Galio, if we succeed in bringing the enemy into the castle in melee combat, you will go straight to the group of archers and quickly take them out." If the enemy is not lured, come to the courtyard and join us in attacking the melee forces. ”

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Once the order was reconfirmed, Dante pushed open the gate and walked through the castle courtyard to the open space outside the castle to face the Shadow Elves head-on.

Standing in front of a large group of Shadow Elf warriors armed to the teeth, Dante was surprisingly calm at this point. He raised his iron sword and roared, "Sword unsheathed!" I saw that the iron sword turned into purple light and turned into the Demon King Sword, and at the same time, he also put on the Demon King armor.

These new shadow elf warriors had never seen Dante transform, and they were obviously shocked by the great demon king in front of them who had burst out with great power, and they looked at each other, and some elves even retreated slightly. However, the cloaked elf didn't seem to be afraid, instead took a few steps forward, walked out of the formation, came to the open space at the front, and came face to face with Yuan Yong.

Only then did Dante see that the cloak worn by the elf was embroidered with some strange patterns, and at the same time, the mask on his face was also carved with the same type of patterns. These patterns look very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Dante thought to himself that if the cloak and mask worn by this elf had magical powers, maybe these patterns were made to increase magic.

Anyway, if you want to fight, it's better to strike first! Dante raised the Demon King's sword, pointed at the elf, and said in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" Why encroach on my territory? ”

"Huh...... Hehe......" A hoarse voice came, and the voice of this cloaked elf spoke, feeling like a person who had experienced many vicissitudes. He finished and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself first." My name is DΓΌr, and I am an attendant of the Shadow Elf Elders' Church, specializing in carrying out the orders of the Elders. We're here today mainly to bring Ash back. ”

With that, he took a step forward, shook his cloak, and revealed his right hand. Dante saw that he was holding a very special scimitar in his right hand, and said that this scimitar was special because it was tied to DΓΌr's right hand with an iron chain. It seems that with this chain scimitar, you can make a very special attack!

At the same time, what secrets are in DΓΌr's left hand are not yet known, so you must not underestimate the enemy!

Dante grasped the Demon King's sword tightly, lowered his body, stood firmly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Door, it's a pleasure to meet you. Still, I think it's better for you to go back as soon as possible. Ash is a guest at my place, and he is very comfortable, and he will not go back with you. ”

"Huh, huh?" When Dur heard what he said, he nodded and said, "It seems that it is better for us to go and invite ourselves!" Then he raised his right hand, took the chain scimitar, waved it, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" ”

Dante reacted quickly enough to retreat into the courtyard as soon as he saw Dur raise his hand. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, the arrows fired by the elven archers had already flown in front of his eyes, whistling towards his throat!

"When" Dante reacted with the power of the Demon King, subconsciously raised his left arm, and actually blocked the fatal arrow. The impact of the bow and arrow's high-speed flight scratched the armor on his arm!

"Demon King's Bow!" Dante roared, turned the Demon King's sword into the Demon King's Bow, leaned against the wall to the right of the courtyard gate, flashed out, took the bow and drew the arrow, and shot at the enemy formation.

"Poof" "Ahh ”

A warrior with two swords screamed and fell to the ground.

"Damn!" Dul's hoarse howl came from outside the castle, "Shoot arrows, siege ballistas ready!" ”

As soon as his shouting ended, Dante immediately understood how powerful the Shadow Elves' bow and arrow shooting skills were. He was standing behind the wall to the right of the castle courtyard gate, looking up and seeing the bows and arrows flying from the sky like a meteor shower, it was definitely not too much to describe it as "dazzling".

The high-speed flying bows and arrows shot into the castle courtyard very densely, hitting the castle walls "crackling". The gate of the courtyard is an iron fence gate, and the sparks of bows and arrows that have been fired like rain are terrifying to watch. A large number of bows and arrows flew into the courtyard, knocking the nursery flower beds on both sides of the garden avenue to pieces, and all the branches and leaves of the potted plants were knocked to the ground. The castle courtyard was soon in shambles under the attack of elven archers.

Dante was shocked by this momentum, and thought to himself, if he rashly let Black Wind and Galio charge, it is estimated that he will be shot directly into a hedgehog in the sky!

What made him even more amazed was that once the Shadow Elves' bows and arrows were launched, it felt as if they were not finished, they seemed to have adopted the tactics of alternate shooting, plus each archer was very skilled in drawing arrows with bows and arrows, and the speed was surprisingly fast, so as long as the formation was not chaotic, the combat effectiveness of the Shadow Elf troops was very strong!

After waiting for a while, Dante found that the density of bows and arrows had decreased, and it was estimated that the enemy army had found that the Demon King's army was deliberately fighting on the wall, and in order to save bows and arrows, he stopped shooting. At this point, they should be preparing to storm the castle with siege ballistas!

Now is the time!

Dante telepathically commanded Gollum: "Gollum, fight back with defensive crossbow arrows!" Concentrate your fire on enemy siege ballistas! ”

"Yes!"

Immediately after, two muffled "rattles" were heard from above the castle, and two defensive ballbow gun batteries on the two sub-towers moved out of the city walls. It was too late, and the crossbow arrows of the Demon King's army began to shoot towards the elven troops.

Gollum and his little monsters did a good job, and the defensive bolts hit the operator who was busy operating the siege ballista. After a burst of screams, the enemy's formation seemed to be starting to disarray. Although Dante was now hiding in the courtyard and not looking out, he could guess that apparently, the enemy did not notice that there were two crossbow gun emplacements hidden in the castle walls!

Immediately afterward, shouts and curses followed.

Dante secretly poked his head out and glanced at it, "whoosh", and an arrow came straight at him!

"Smack!"

Fortunately, he dodged quickly, and the bow and arrow were directly inserted into the opposite wall, deeply inserted into the wall, and the power of the shot was embarrassing. If his face was shot by such an arrow, it is estimated that he would be crippled if he did not die!

However, he also saw that the melee warriors of the elven army were rushing towards the courtyard, and the archers had already stuck their shields on the ground and crouched behind, probably ready to counterattack! Although the operator of the siege ballista is killed, the archers on the side will also operate it.

In this way, it seems likely that the ballista carriage will attack the defensive ballista battery! The loss of the courtyard seems to be inevitable!

And the Dur, who didn't seem to be flustered, just stood in formation, following the group of melee fighters, and walked towards the castle together.

The castle's defensive crossbow turret can now only fire one arrow, and then reload, which is less efficient. However, because it is operated by a mechanism, it is very accurate and powerful. Gollum apparently has enough people to operate the ballista turret, and they are indeed good at shooting!

Just as Dante was busy thinking about countermeasures, the dense rain of arrows came again, but this time, the rain of arrows flew towards the crossbow gun turret!

The ballista turret consists of a circular base, a ballista cannon that can seat one operator, and a defensive shield. The defensive shield has a narrow opening with a crosshair, which is used by the operator for aiming.

From Dante's position, look at the opening in the shield of the crossbow turret, and you can't see it at all. Wanting to shoot the bow and arrow into that opening and hit the operator sitting behind it, in Yuan Yong's opinion, it was almost an impossible task.

However, the elven archers are once again showing off their incredible skills! As soon as the rain of arrows began to shoot towards the crossbow gun turret, the screams of the little monsters continued to be heard from above, which made Dante's heart tremble. He hurriedly looked up, only to see that the shield of the crossbow gun turret was also sparkling with the whizzing bow and arrows, and the "clanging" sounded!

The attack efficiency of the crossbow turret has been significantly reduced, and it is obvious that the little monster operators behind are frightened by the superb shooting skills of the elven archers, and may not dare to sit on the console again!

All of this happened in an extremely short period of time, and the Demon King Army was obviously at a disadvantage!

Dante was in a hurry, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures, thinking, it seems, this time there is a lot of bad luck, these archers are too perverted, if they can't tear their formation, they may have to fight hard!

"Boom" a loud bang came!

The most devastating thing happened, when an enemy ballista cart fired a giant crossbow at the crossbow turret in the right side tower. The crossbow gun emplacement was like a ball of soft cotton, which was torn apart in an instant! Immediately afterward, another giant crossbow flew towards the crossbow gun emcourse on the left, directly breaking it apart. A large amount of brick debris flew into the sky with a thick layer of dust, and then "crackled" and fell into the courtyard.

Dante turns the Demon King's Sword into the Demon King's Shield, blocking the falling bricks and wood fragments, and when he looks up, he finds that the two crossbow gun emplacements have been turned into two large holes!

"Brothers, go up!" Outside, Dull's hoarse voice said, "Capture Ash alive and kill these demons!" ”;
