Chapter 277: Fallen Angel
Despite Gilles' courage, the reality is that without the support of the Boar Riders and some of the Marksmen, the situation of the Terran forces is much more difficult.
Without the long-range attacks of the Boar Knights and most of the marksmen, the pressure on the Abyss Lords was greatly reduced, and these winged monsters waved the decapitating swords in their hands and continued to fly forward against the attacks of the marksmen. After flying directly past the Crusader swordsmen's defenses, the Abyss Lords smirked and flew into the ranks of the marksmen and began to kill.
Gilles, who was desperately fending off the attacks of the Three-Headed Hellhound with the Champion Knights and Crusader Swordsmen, had to pull out the cavalry that had already lost a lot and let them separate up to intercept the Abyss Lords.
Although the cavalry fell under the abyssal lord's decapitation sword, with the cavalry's desperate blocking, the marksmen finally got a chance to breathe, and the sharpshooters who quickly loaded the crossbow arrows did not hesitate to launch a counterattack against the abyss lords who were close at hand.
Most of the Abyss Lords who were fighting with the cavalry were unsuspectingly pierced by crossbow arrows, but the strong body of the demon clan made most of the Abyss Lords only injured but not killed, but the desperate counterattack of the cavalry that followed made these injured Abyss Lords completely fall.
But even so, the number of corpses of the Abyss Lords killed was still much less than the corpses of the fallen cavalry and sharpshooters, and the destruction of the cavalry and sharpshooters was obviously only a matter of time.
At this moment, the great devils who had not moved all this time began to laugh strangely, and countless blood-red magic arrays quickly unfolded under the bodies of the Hell Penies who had all been killed. Using the corpses of these hell horses as sacrifices, the Great Devils directly summoned two thousand Abyss Lords!
The arrival of these new forces not only boosted the morale of the demon troops, but also doubled the pressure on the crusader swordsmen and champion knights. Although these Abyss Lords who have just been summoned will need to go through a constant adaptation time before they can join the battle. But the mere fact that they stayed there caused the morale of the remaining Crusader swordsmen to begin to decline.
After all, compared to the champion knights who were good at horsemanship, even if these Crusader swordsmen escaped on their mounts, they probably couldn't escape the pursuit of the flying Abyss Lords.
But it may also be that they and the others are already certain to die, and the crusader swordsmen who fell into despair noticed that Gilles, as the commander, was still struggling to kill the demons. Suddenly, he shouted in unison, mustered up his morale, and launched a wave of attacks on the Hellfire Breath Hounds in front of him!
"Whew! Ha! ”
In unison of shouts, the Crusader swordsmen raised their swords in unison and slashed at the Hellfire Hounds in front of them! The Hellfire Hounds, who had just been assaulted by the Champion Knights, howled and fell into the Hellfire that they spewed out.
However, the Crusader swordsmen's counterattack was not over yet, and the Crusader swordsmen, who had just slashed a heavy slash, raised their swords again and slashed forward neatly! More Hellfire Hounds howled and fell to their swords!
"Good opportunity! Knights! Rush with me! Gilles, who spotted the fighter, raised his sword sharply, and immediately took the lead in charging at the remnants of the Hellfire Hounds!
Under the iron hooves of the champion knights, the number of Hellfire Hounds has plummeted! Although there are still nearly a thousand or so Hellbreath Hounds left, it is clear that these Hellhounds are no match for the Crusader Swordsmen.
Gilles immediately led the champion knights to the aid of the cavalry and marksmen who were fighting to the death. Their arrival made the cavalry and sharpshooters who were retreating barely hold their ground, and did not completely collapse in a short time.
Looking at the Abyss Lords who were crushed by the charge of the champion knights, Gilles, who was panting, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: in this way, before the other demon forces attacked, the troops under his command would have a certain advantage, and he didn't have to worry about the morale of this army collapsing. As long as morale does not collapse, Gilles is confident that he will buy enough time for the El City Lord to retreat.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ……”
Obviously in the midst of a noisy battlefield, a rather rhythmic applause clearly reached Gilles's ears. This made him look a little confused.
Then Giles was a little stunned to find that he was clapping. It turned out to be the devil hero standing behind the demon army!
How is this possible!
Gilles' eyes widened in surprise.
You must know that the current location of Gilles and the Devil Hero is at the opposite end of this battlefield, and the straight-line distance is at least a thousand meters away! At such a distance, the applause that was not loud could clearly reach Gilles's ears, which made Gilles's heart quite frightened.
Because Gilles didn't feel any magic fluctuations right now! This means: The devil hero on the opposite side is at least a legendary powerhouse of the war system, so he can transmit his voice directly to him!
A legendary devil hero, this is not an opponent that Gilles can handle!
Seeing that Gilles noticed her, the devil hero immediately stopped applauding, and a crisp and pleasant voice sounded directly in Gilles's ears: "Good job." Human, but you're still dead. ”
"Hmph, it's not necessarily me who died." Gilles snorted coldly and replied with some disdain. Although it is unclear how strong the opponent is, Giles does not intend to show his cowardice in front of the enemy.
"It's funny." Obviously, the devil hero did hear Gilles's answer, but she didn't get angry, but chatted with Gilles with great interest, "You have been abandoned by your compatriots, and you can still maintain such a strong will." Humans are really interesting! ”
"Tsk, how can the selfish devil understand what we do?" Gilles smiled mockingly, "As a knight, I volunteered to stay behind the palace!" ”
"Knight?" After the devil hero looked Gilles up and down carefully, he frowned and said, "How do I feel that you don't have any aristocratic temperament at all?" ”
"Of course! I became a knight by virtue of my military exploits! Gilles looked up proudly, "Devil! No matter how clever you say, you can't shake my knightly heart! ”
"It turned out to be a knight promoted by a commoner." The devil hero pouted. "No matter how nice it sounds, you're just a tool of the nobles. What is there to be proud of as an outcast? ”
"That's why I said you wouldn't understand!" Gilles' face was full of righteousness, "The city lord of El is a real nobleman!" And I, as his knight, will fight for him! Till death rest! ”
"But your El City Lord just left you without hesitation, and ran away without looking back." The devil hero said with some teasing.
"That's the right thing to do!" Giles' face remained steadfast. But his heart was a little shaken, "...... Since he was going to retreat, the city lord of El should have left immediately! ”
Giles spoke louder and louder, and he seemed to be convincing himself with his own words.
"Hehe......" The devil hero couldn't help laughing, "you have a weak heart, in fact, you yourself understand, no one doesn't cherish their lives!" No matter how nice it sounds, the city lord of El is just trading your life for his chance to survive smoothly! ”
Sweat began to break down on his forehead, and Gilles lowered his head slightly. A voice grew louder and louder in his heart: she was right! The lord has abandoned you! You will die here, and your death is worthless!
Noticing Gilles' movements, the corners of the devil hero's mouth curled slightly.
However, before the devil hero could continue to speak, Gilles raised his head suddenly: "My lord is above!" I swear! I will be loyal to my lord for the rest of my life! Fight for him! Till death rest! ”
With Gilles's oath, a faint white light shone out from his body, and the whole world shook and then shattered one by one.
Giles's body shook violently, and he came to his senses. I quickly opened my eyes. And at the same moment, the devil hero also let out a muffled snort. It caused a commotion among the big devils.
Gilles wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with some fear, and by the time he came to his senses, he already understood what had just happened: the devil hero had used dark magic like mind confusion on him! The conversation he had with that devil hero just now was all an illusion!
After experiencing it firsthand, Gilles realized that mental magic was far more terrifying than people imagined.
Since that round of applause. Gilles has already fallen under the mind magic of the devil's hero. Subsequently, the dialogue between the devil hero and Giles is actually nothing more than Giles's own fantasy. The content of the dialogue doesn't really matter, the mind magic will constantly look for the weaknesses in Gilles's heart, and then continue to influence Gilles in the form of "heart voices".
Under the influence of mind magic. The flaws in Gilles' heart will get bigger and bigger, and the devil's whispers will continue to echo in his heart until Gilles is completely controlled by the devil hero.
Luckily, Gilles' determination and genuine trust in the Lord of El made Gilles sober up before his mind was eroded by magic.
Based on the knight's oath, Gilles successfully broke through the interference of mental magic, and the backlash of magic also caused a lot of damage to the devil hero.
“…… Quite capable. The devil hero smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of killing intent. She pointed at Gilles, and the big devils who had been lazily staying by the side of the devil hero suddenly lifted their spirits.
"Giggle...... Cuckoo...... Quack quack!! ”
The Great Devils let out a strange laugh and disappeared into the teleportation array.
On the sides of the cavalrymen and marksmen who were fighting with the Abyss Lords, behind the Crusader swordsmen who were attacking the Hellfire Hounds, and behind the champion knights, blood-red teleportation arrays appeared one after another!
The figures of the Great Devils appeared from the teleportation array, and the Great Devils who raised the battle axes in their hands with a cruel smile did not hesitate to slash at the enemy in front of them!
Prompting the dragon-blooded wildebeest under his seat to rush forward, Gilles turned around in time and blocked the Great Devil's axe with the shield in his left hand, but the soldiers under his command did not react as quickly as he did.
In addition to the champion knights, who were able to block the attacks of the Great Devils, the remaining cavalry, crusader swordsmen, and sharpshooters all suffered heavy losses under the raid of the Great Devils, and all kinds of screams were heard endlessly.
Forcing off the Great Devil with a shield strike, and quickly scanning the surroundings, Giles gritted his teeth and gave an order to the champion knights, "All of them!" Get closer to my place! ”
After receiving the order, the knights who were skilled in riding quickly forced back the big devils around them with their spears and shields, and then advanced towards Gilles' position.
Seeing that the champion knights quickly returned to his side, Gilles quickly took out the magic scroll from his bosom and tore it open.
With Gilles' position as the center, a huge golden teleportation array suddenly appeared under the champion knights, and the great devils who tried to attack the champion knights were ejected from the range of the teleportation array by an invisible force.
The dazzling light was gone, and Gilles and his champion knights were gone.
"Damn humans! Do you think that with this little trick you will be able to escape my pursuit! The Devil Hero roared angrily, "Kill! Kill them all! ”
The Great Devils grinned and accepted the Devil Hero's order, and raised their battle axes to the Terran warriors who had lost the protection of their heroic aura......
………… I'm the divider of the teleportation............
The golden light turned into a huge teleportation array, and immediately, the figures of Gilles and the champion knights under his command appeared in it.
Seeing the appearance of Giles and the champion knights, Piris on the small hill was very surprised and exclaimed: "Great! Big Brother Gilles, they've escaped! ”
Immediately, Piris urged the "little black pig" under the seat, and rushed to Gilles, who was still in a trance, with a smile on his face.
The Lord of El shook his head, and with a smile on his face, he led the boar knights and marksmen down the hill.
After successfully reuniting with Gilles, Pyris asked his father with some confusion: "Father, how did you know that Big Brother Gilles would appear around here?" ”
"Heh, I've also used shapeshifting, and I know the maximum teleportation distance very well." The city lord of El said with a smile, "Gilles will definitely pass in the direction we left, the general direction is there, the distance is clear, and the specific location is easy to guess." ”
"Father, you're really amazing!" Pyris looked at his father with starry eyes, making Gilles and the Lord of El laugh together.
"Ahem." Putting away his smile, Gilles cleared his throat, although he said very seriously: "Lord City, Little City Lord!" Let's go! That devil hero's strength is really strong! ”
"Got it, we'll leave right away!" The city lord of El nodded very seriously, and immediately began to integrate the troops.
"Eh, what's that?" Pyrris suddenly noticed that something was slowly falling not far in front of him, and he subconsciously urged the "little black pig" to step forward and grabbed the thing in his hand.
"Black ...... Feather? Looking at the feathers in his palm, Pyris couldn't help frowning, "Are there crows around here?" ”
However, the black feather suddenly emitted black gas, and then dissipated into the air.
Piris felt his heart pound, and he subconsciously raised his head.
The black wings flapped slowly, the giant sword in his hand was full of blood, with a cruel smile on his face, and a group of black-winged angels swooped down, quickly filling Piris's vision!
"Enemy attack! That's the fallen angel of the demons! ”
Pirris's exclamation resounded through the wilderness. (To be continued.) )
