Chapter 323: Beginning a War, Realm First, Dark Horizon

Immediately behind the four heavy ballistas were half-body ballista positions.

After these years of overtime by goblins and human craftsmen, eight more ballistas were newly manufactured and delivered, bringing the total number of guns in the Gun Squadron to twenty. At the same time, a small number of new "flowering bombs" began to be installed.

The so-called "flowering shell" is that Moriarty borrowed from the earth's munitions technology and used a one-time simple miniature alchemy circle to replace the built-in gunpowder, so that the special cannonball has the attribute of passively triggered explosion. Once the shell hits the target, it will explode on its own, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy in the area with scattered shrapnel. Moreover, in consideration of making the best use of the material, Moriarty also specially added concentrated fire solution, sulfur crystallization powder and other "auxiliary materials" to the "flowering bomb" to ensure that the physical damage of shrapnel is accompanied by terrible secondary solvent burning damage. It's spicy.

However, because it is the initial production and the consideration of the actual combat effect of the first test, the total number of "flowering bombs" at the moment can be a base, and it can only be used as a surprise soldier.

And at the heart of the entire Olympus battle array is the core of the legion where Moriarty sits. He was surrounded by Tchaikov the Six-Armed Walker, Gregory the Magic Lamp, Claudia, Lord of Blood, Bruno the Magic Archer, Henry the Goblin Mage, and... Hamilton.

Yes, it was Hamilton the "Lionheart". In order to cope with this strategic showdown, Claudia rushed to Fort Arte with a letter from Moriarty and a secret box a day earlier, and finally succeeded in bringing back the chief warrior of the Ensberg family. However, for the boss to "invite" a no-legged eighth-level knight who is not yet a high-level to come back to help, in the eyes of some high-minded and arrogant people under his command, he is somewhat disrespectful. It's hard to say it bluntly, though. But he also held his breath and waited for a long time in the big war.

On the two flanks of the Legion battle formation, the first and second squadrons of the "Bloody Mary" were still attached. However, today, Moriarty's order to the two fierce wolf cavalry was that unless the knights of the Salk family were killed from Windsor Castle, their own assault forces would not be allowed to take the initiative. In this regard, although the wolf rider who is full of offensive spirit by nature feels a little restrained, he still strictly responds to orders.

As for the half of the newly formed Sosk garrison brigade, it will be handed over to the Warhammer squad as a strategic reserve for this time.

"My lord, the military appearance on the other side is very impressive. Although the total strength is ordinary, a battle formation is laid out. But it is strong at both offensive and defensive ends. The demon wants to gnaw at this bone. I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

On Windsor Castle, looking at the rapid formation of the Olympus army formation a few kilometers away, the Sanctuary that was lazy on the surface but actually had a very high vision couldn't help but admire.

Although he had never seen the true combat power of the Allied forces before, his peers watched the doorway. Just from the arrangement of the military columns and the morale of the soldiers, it can be seen that Olympus is self-improvement from the heart. Otherwise face thousands of demons. Not to mention the private army of a local nobleman. Even the regular legions of the kingdom are terrified and unstable.

"Of course. You calculate, counting from his return to China, the first battle to recover the Rhineberg, the second battle to kill the besieging army led by the Great Demon, and the third battle to defeat Sosk. This way down is actually invincible. With such a complete victory, Olympus's military spirit, morale, experience, equipment, and elite soldiers are constantly accumulating. To this day, he dares to fight head-on with three thousand demons in the hundreds! This courage and strength, to speak from the heart, although I am jealous, I have to obey it. ”

Viscount Salk also sighed as he leaned against the rough granite face of the female wall. And hearing the old man bluntly say that he was both jealous and convinced without scruples, Charlie smiled again. Listening to her father and the Templar's high opinion of her lover's legion, Matiel was finally a little relieved, and at the same time a sense of pride and sweetness welled up in her heart.

Soon, the demonic hoplites, caught between Olympus and Windsor Castle, finally put an end to their madness. I saw that the thousands of troops were divided into two, and nearly a thousand of them demon warriors stayed in place and continued to monitor the direction of Windsor; Most of the rest of the corps turned in unison and pounced fiercely on the newly arrived uninvited guests.

At the same time, an unfathomable darkness suddenly spread among the demon army. It was like a thick ink, at first just a little, but then quickly smeared in the air. From the bits and pieces, to the wisps, until the layers are layered and obscured. Even the morning sun shone on the darkness, as if it had been swallowed up by lightness, and there was not a trace of morning light penetrating it.

Immediately, the figures of more than 2,000 demons attacking were also slowly covered by the darkness, and they became unable to see the reality and the void.

"The big demon is going to do it?"

Seeing a large area of strange darkness rising, Viscount Salk's face suddenly became solemn. There was no doubt that the anomalous black enchantment was the realm of the Demon Extreme. It's just that I didn't expect that before the war started, the demon side took out all its strength, and even the big demon was dispatched as soon as possible.

However, this also proves from the side that the demons must have recognized the opponent who suddenly came to the opposite side as the famous Olympus. And this human army has a glorious record of killing the Great Demon and defeating many demon armies. So no one dares to despise such an enemy anymore.

"The devil reacts quickly, and his determination is even greater. Divided more than 2,000 heavy troops to push Olympus directly, and with the assistance of the Extreme Dao Realm, it seems that he wants to settle the situation! Charlie clasped his hands on his chest, looked at the city expressionlessly, and said coldly.

"I don't believe it can push it off. Field? Hehe. The old man just sneered at this.

"The Demon Corps is out! How many troops? ”

In the direction of Olympus, at the core of the battle array, Moriarty looked at the dark barrier that was expanding more and more and obviously spreading towards his side, and the countless demon warriors who were shrouded in darkness and could no longer see a trace, and said loudly.

"Eight high-level demons, twenty middle-level horned demons, with a total strength of more than two thousand." The old werewolf said immediately.

For this decisive battle, the magic sand table has been removed from the airship and placed directly in the center of the battle array, so that the enemy can be monitored at any time. Sure enough, at this moment, there is a demonic realm blocking it, and the physical eye vision is no longer enough to judge, and only the power of magic is still effective, and it can continue to detect the life aura in it through the enchantment.

"The demon has a great appetite and has intended to devour us with maximum force from the beginning."

Beside Moriarty, Hamilton said sternly. Different from other more "simple" mid- and high-level combat positions, "Lion Heart" is not only powerful in its own right, but also an experienced military commander with mature command skills, and rich combat experience with demons, so it is more able to provide some valuable advice to Moriarty at the strategic level.

"You're right, the current situation of the Demon Legion is that it is under the enemy's back, so it naturally hopes to settle one before it is attacked together." Moriarty nodded, agreeing completely.

In fact, he was not afraid of the demons' usual tricks such as "group charge". Perhaps, the "Demon Sea Tactic" has repeatedly achieved miraculous results for other human legions, but in the face of Olympus's extraordinary saturated firepower, even if the number of small demons is doubled, as long as the arms continue to block, Moriarty is confident that most of them will be wiped out in the way of the charge. As for the remaining "lucky ones", well-trained sword and shield warriors and an iron fist of war that can be relied on as the backbone are enough to be as solid as a rock in positional warfare.

To this day, the only way Moriarty can think of is for the enemy to eat him: either a strong man of the extreme can step up and break the game with force, or send a large number of Gogo demons to suppress or even counter-end his own long-range firepower. In addition, it is a stalemate, and it depends on whether Olympus's ordnance reserves are exhausted first, or the demon army dies first!

However, although the Demon Heavy Corps in front of him was fully armed, the total number of Goge Demons was only a hundred. With just this scale, you may be able to play a round with Olympus, but after a long time, you will inevitably be killed by the opponent's extravagant firepower and armaments. Then, the only remaining way to a quick victory is to use the power of the Great Demon's extreme path to break the army alone. And in front of him, the black enchantment that slowly stretched out seemed to mean this.

"What's that field?"

In the face of the realm enchantment of the unknown archdemon, Moriarty is not completely afraid, but at least he is walking on thin ice. In the battle with Camontottliworth that day, against the terrifying "Shadow of the Ruins of Purgatory", although Moriarty also possessed the projection of the specialized fire elemental realm, he could only protect himself. After all, from the high-level to the extreme, it is an earth-shaking qualitative change, and the gap between them cannot be easily reversed by the magic of the crystal book alone. Unless it was a high-level rude realm such as the Undead Priest Helenth, Moriarty had the confidence to take the initiative to defeat the opponent in the realm war. Of course, if you can understand the attributes and characteristics of the opponent's domain in advance, you will be more confident in competing with them.

"It should be the 'Dark Horizon', a demonic enchantment with a wide range of effect but a single effect, somewhat similar to the dark aura of the horned demon, which can block all ordinary sight from outside the enchantment, but the demons inside will not be affected by any vision." Glancing at the rolling dark barrier again, Hamilton suddenly said.

"You know?"

Moriarty glanced at "Lionheart" in surprise, to be honest, his question just now was more just talking to himself, but he didn't expect anyone to answer.

"In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Demons, a noble officer who had fled from other counties to Kent County told me about a similar field." Hamilton nodded.

"I see."

Moriarty raised an eyebrow.

If it is really just a "Dark Horizon" with a single effect, then this kind of enchantment is only a kind of primary realm, far from being comparable to "Infernal Ruin Shadow". In this regard, the fire elemental realm projection is not completely powerless. (To be continued......)
