Chapter 144: Fortress?
The young Hoplite Banner Commander was the first to receive the helmet that had been distributed from above, and he glanced at the helmet that was glowing blue, but did not speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But there is some disdain in my heart.
It's just a blue quality helmet...... How could it be possible to block the attacks of those guys.
In previous battles, the young Banner Commander had witnessed many soldiers die at the claws of those small demons.
He hadn't actually experienced demonic attacks, but the mere fact that they were able to pierce the heavy armor of the soldiers effortlessly made the young flag leader conclude that the demonic claws had been sharpened to a somewhat exaggerated degree.
In terms of attack strength alone, these demons have definitely reached the level of A-rank magical beasts.
Although it is true that blue quality equipment can be considered extremely sophisticated...... But it is also impossible to block the blow of the A-rank demonic beast.
However, despite thinking so, the young flag leader still took off the helmet on his head and replaced it with a new one.
In any case, the blue quality equipment is much better than the whiteboard on his body.
It's just that the thought that his life can only be pinned on this piece of equipment makes him a little uneasy.
But the roar of a new demon on the city walls soon interrupted his thoughts, and he didn't have time to think twice before he began to organize his soldiers to attack the new demons.
Suddenly, the city resounded with the loud sound of soldiers rushing and killing, and the metal thud of weapons against the monsters.
It's just that he didn't notice......
A dark shadow had crept up behind him, raising its sharp claws in the darkness and smiling eerily at the young leader.
The face with only a mouth and eyes...... The laughter makes people feel a little creepy.
The demon's claws swung towards the head of the flag leader, cutting through the air with a sharp sound!
The demon also seemed to realize that not every soldier's armor could be easily torn off by itself, so the blow swung at the head of the flag commander, and the sharp claws landed on the opponent's helmet!
The moment it made contact with the claws, fine cracks appeared on the helmet, as if it was about to be shattered by the demon's blow.
And yet at the same time......
The helmet shines brightly!
The lines that had been lying quietly on the helmet suddenly seemed to come to life......
It writhed weirdly!
It's as if ......
These patterns that make up the circle are a thin snake entrenched in an iron helmet!
And this thin snake, facing the attack of the demon, emitted a golden light in its eyes!
The light fell on the demon...... It burned inexplicably!
Golden flames suddenly rose from the demon's claws and spread throughout the demon's body.
This demon ...... Immediately there was a howl of great pain!
And its already hideous face is even more weird and terrifying under the distortion!
The sudden sound behind his head startled the flag leader, and he hurriedly turned around, only to see a demon burning with golden flames all over his body!
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he was surprised and subconsciously raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it at the demon in front of him.
The "poof" of the spear easily pierced the chest of the demon in front of him, splashing a large pool of black blood.
……
The black and red demons and the armored soldiers clashed on the walls, and every moment the demons were pierced through the chest by the soldiers' spears, and the soldiers were torn apart by the demons entirely, or turned into food for the demons' mouths.
From time to time, black shadows pierced the soldiers' chests or smashed their heads, but the brains mixed with blood were inconspicuous.
At first, the soldiers may have felt disgusted, but now this city wall is full of such things, and after seeing too much, they will naturally become numb.
Bright red and black blood flew everywhere, and the walls were densely covered with the corpses of humans and demons, and it looked extremely miserable.
Life is like the least valuable thing, and the demons and soldiers on the city walls are quickly exchanging the lives of both parties.
This battlefield is like a huge meat grinder, constantly harvesting one life after another.
And the person who operated the meat grinder was expressionless.
Countless black shadows shuttle through the battlefield, as if to indicate that they are not ordinary chess pieces, and almost every shot can take away an important white piece.
The soldier struggled to reach the last square of the chessboard, either into a warrior with a strong fighting spirit, or into a flag commander with a banner regiment on his shoulders. (Note: In chess, when a soldier walks to the last square of the opponent's board, it can be converted into other pieces)
But they were still vulnerable in front of the shadows.
Until the golden light appeared, the golden flames pierced the black shadows and illuminated the entire city wall in the darkness of the night.
The demon was impaled through the chest by the young flag leader in a howl of pain, and his entire body was burned to ashes by the unstoppable flames.
The iron helmet on the head of the flag commander was almost broken under this collision, and there was no longer any blue or other color of brilliance flowing on it.
But the head under the iron helmet was intact after all.
A deep dark shadow walked back and forth on the walls, and although the shadow was surrounded by chess pieces from both sides, it seemed that no one or a demon had noticed his presence.
Unlike the demons who could only see a shadow because they were moving too fast, it was as if he had blended into the night around him, and he looked ......
He is a shadow reflected by the chess pieces around him.
No one noticed him, and he walked away as if no one was around.
But he only walked, and didn't do anything to the soldiers or demons around him.
It's just weird......
As he continued to walk across the city walls, the mangled corpses of the soldiers beside him suddenly disappeared!
The corpse disappeared into thin air, looking particularly eerie...... It's just that on this battlefield at this moment, the soldiers don't have time to care about such things, so although a large number of corpses suddenly disappeared, they didn't find anything abnormal when they were fighting.
And when the golden light suddenly lit up, the golden light naturally fell on the black shadow's body.
Under the illumination of the golden light, the black shadow suddenly became distorted, and the black shadow seemed to be a little surprised, and turned its head to look at the golden light.
"Level 6 Light Array......" He muttered after a long while.
At the same time, the attack of the demons suddenly became fierce, and a large number of demons suddenly climbed the city wall at the same time, standing on the top of the city and letting out an extremely loud roar.
The young flag commander came back to his senses, and organized his soldiers to rush forward.
In the midst of fierce staggering, the two sides once again threw a large number of lives from their camp.
……
"The helmet sent by Mr. Lei Yang has been distributed, and it has worked well...... The flag leaders of the three flag regiments all survived under the protection of the helmets, and the new helmets on Mr. Lei Yang's side were constantly forged, and they could be regarded as finding a way to deal with those small demons. The soldier first reported the good news, and then said with a solemn face, "But the bad news is that the demon has suddenly strengthened its offensive, and the main force of the heavy infantry flag regiment on the frontal battlefield has suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the casualties, and the remaining two flag regiments have more or less casualties...... Although this wave of attacks was barely withstanded, there were still many demons under the city, and there was no guarantee that they would not launch a second wave of such an offensive. And ......"
"And although the helmet made by my brother can effectively prevent the assassination of small demons, after all, it is not a long-term solution, and the number of helmets he forges by himself is limited after all, and in the long run, this method can only be called drinking to quench thirst, right?" Before the soldier could finish speaking, Lei Ruoya added for him.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the situation is not optimistic. ”
Lei Ruoya frowned and thought for a while, then waved her hand: "Got it, you go down first." ”
"Yes!"
After the soldiers retreated, she looked at the staff on the side: "Staff, what do you think?" ”
The staff's brows furrowed deeply, and the complexion that had finally eased down became gloomy again: "We humans are still too far behind the demons in terms of combat ability, and our army in Belial City is not an elite army...... Even at a five-to-one battle loss ratio, the demons can wear us to death. ”
Lei Ruoya began to walk back and forth among the towers, and the faint yellow light illuminated her somewhat anxious eyebrows: "I have to find a way to stop the attack of the demons...... These demons are constantly climbing the walls to attack the city, and they can consume us to death. ”
The staff heard Lei Ruoya say the word "siege", raised their eyebrows, and seemed to suddenly think of something.
But he quickly frowned back and shook his head to himself.
Lei Ruoya noticed the other party's performance: "Staff, have you thought of anything?" ”
"Nothing...... It's just that some things come to mind, but it's not a strategy that can be implemented in itself," the staff member pondered for a moment, but still said what was in his heart, "I heard Miss Lei Ruoya say 'these demons are constantly climbing the city walls to attack the city', and I suddenly realized that these demons don't actually have siege equipment, and we have been fighting for so long, and I can see that these demons don't seem to have anything special except for their overly strong flesh. So I thought......"
Seeing that Lei Ruoya motioned for him to continue, the staff paused and then continued: "If the layout of our Belia City is one of those small castles for the private interests of the nobility...... Or if a military fortress is almost completely enclosed, and the construction materials are strong enough, it will be much easier to defend against these demons who can only climb the city walls to attack. ”
But when he said this, he shook his head again: "But such an idea is too fantastical, such a big city as Belial...... How can it be said that if it becomes fully enclosed, it becomes fully enclosed? ”
Lei Ruoya also subconsciously smiled after hearing the thoughts of the staff - such an idea can indeed only be said to be a fantasy, Belia City has been built when it was built to its current appearance, how can it suddenly become a castle or fortress overnight.
Not to mention the Azure Continent, even the technologically advanced outside world would not be able to temporarily convert such a large city into a fortress......
Outside......
Lei Ruoya was suddenly stunned when she thought of this.
Azure Continent ......
Fortress...... Fully enclosed...... Build ...... quickly
……
Lei Ruoya's eyes suddenly lit up!
Lei Ruoya began to say to herself, "I'm so stupid, really, I can't do this just by thinking about the technology of the outside world...... But he never thought that this place was not the outside world at all, but the Azure Continent. ”
The staff looked at Lei Ruoya with some puzzlement: "Miss Lei Ruoya...... What are you talking about? ”
"It's nothing, I mean......" Lei Ruoya raised her head, looked at the staff who was two heads taller than herself, and said solemnly, "I know what to do." ”
"I know...... How to turn the city of Belia into a fortress. (To be continued.) )
