Fort Arte, also known as the original town of Atte, has only been built for a year. The newly built walls are made of rough granite cut and polished as a whole, and the huge stones are connected by a secret method of adhesive, almost co-creating one. On the surface of the fortress wall, rows of sharp iron spikes crisscross the top and bottom, and in the middle of the iron spikes are planted the rare demonic plant "Demon Eater", which the Ensberg family secretly purchased from Avli several generations ago. This terrifying vine is black all over, tough as a steel wire, and what is even more special is that the flowers and leaves on the vine have a very sensitive greed for flesh and blood, as long as a vine leaf is stained with a little blood, the large area of the nearby demon eater vine will all boil, and then countless black branches and vines will swarm from all directions like the arms of evil ghosts, grasping the poor prey firmly, and then tearing it into pieces.

At the beginning, Baron Ensberg was not without opposition when he came up with such a "weird" castle construction plan, and the biggest doubt was that the cost of such a high-standard, high-strength, and demonic plant building form was too high, almost three times that of an ordinary viscount-level castle of the same size, which was a great waste for the Ensberg family, whose long-term goal was to be promoted to viscount. However, the baron, who had always been known for his excellent economic acumen, was "unreasonable" in this matter, and even the baroness, who had always had a large face, could not persuade him.

But Baron Ensberg's decision proved to be wise and far-sighted.

It is relying on the strong fortress walls of New Atburg, which is not very tall, but absolutely strong and offensive and defensive. In the face of the sudden invasion of the demon army, he can always stand tall. Even after a continuous siege for half a month, Fort Arte still has not opened any gaps.

On the fortress wall in front of them, nearly a hundred little demons were stepping on the corpses of their companions, passing through the terrible trap composed of iron thorns and demon vines, and struggling to climb to the top of the city.

This little demon is the main force of the demon army, with a red body, short stature, but fierce and vicious by nature, with a pair of sharp horns like goats on the top of his head, and a pair of small wings on his back but unable to fly. There was also a disgusting, spiky tail trailing behind him. But on average. The strength of the little demon is about the same as that of a human second-level warrior, and it is not very powerful.

"Demon, die!"

In the face of the little devil's crazy back attack like a tide, on the city wall. Sharp spears are also desperately stabbing down. The sharpened tip of the spear resembles a sailor's harpoon. From top to bottom, many shocking blood holes were pierced into the little demon's body. There are also many little demons screaming and falling down the city to turn into meatloaf, or being torn to pieces by the crazy demonic plants that smell blood around them.

However, from time to time, there are also some powerful little demons who flap their short wings and leap up and successfully cross the fortress wall. The spearmen who rushed directly into the city slaughtered and slaughtered. Although most of them were quickly stabbed to death by the combined forces of the spearmen around them, the casualties caused by the human warriors in the melee were not small.

"Be careful!"

Before suppressing the onslaught of the next wave of little demons, suddenly at a distance of about a hundred meters outside the castle, a hot red light suddenly lit up. Immediately, the human soldiers on the city wall looked for bunkers such as battlements and women-walls to dodge.

But in the blink of an eye, the rich red light outside the fort turned into many fiery fireballs, and then flew high and fell with parabolas, directly hitting Fort Arte. Then, a large explosion of heat rose into the sky, and the scorching heat that blew up even burned a few human guards who had no time to dodge directly into charcoal.

Gogo, the Demon of the Demons, is the only regular ranged class of demons.

In the harsh siege battles of the past half month, the biggest threat to Fort Artre was Gogomo. This is because Gogo's natural fireball technique can not only directly attack the guards on the city wall, but also cause hidden damage to the fortress wall itself. Especially when its number reaches a certain level, a large number of fireballs will fall into the castle like raindrops, which is very powerful in terms of physical lethality and psychological deterrence.

Fortunately, the amount of spells per day is much smaller than that of the official mage profession, and the human archers in the arrow tower have always been the "priority" and focus on the attack of the Goge Demon. So after throwing fireballs a few times rashly and being shot into hedgehogs by the archers, Gogo now doesn't dare to enter the range of human archers in a swarm.

"Archery! Shoot that bastard! ”

The tower of Fort Artre then counterattacked, and a rain of arrows rained down from the tower, blasting the two Gogs closest to the fortress walls.

"Human! Coward! Kill them all! ”

After a long time of attacking, some of the "officers" among the demons outside the city finally couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts, roared and pushed away the little devil in front of them, and personally rushed up.

It was a horned demon, a kind of mid-level demon, generally more than two meters in size, with natural demon scale armor, with many dark auras such as filth, blasphemy, curse, and bloodthirsty, and belonged to a natural mid-level demon. It's just that compared to the mid-level professionals of humans, the Horned Demon has a relatively simple mind, or is more irritable and impulsive.

Fast, the five-headed horned demon relied on the innate scale armor and powerful strength that was not inferior to the defense of the standard iron armor, and quickly broke through the defense line of the city wall and climbed to the top of the city with a spear stabbing attack and a demon eater vine blocking from the top.

"Human, die!"

Under the hoove-shaped feet of a certain horned demon, a bit of pitch black suddenly unfolded like an ink halo, and then turned into a ring.

Immediately, an invisible black curtain fell, and the space within a five-meter radius of the Horned Demon Body was all grand, and even the bright sun in the sky close to noon could not illuminate the black curtain in the slightest.

"Be careful! Watch out for the Demon Assault! ”

Faced with a completely opaque black curtain, the surrounding human spearmen immediately lost track of the enemy. But in the blink of an eye, a sharp claw poked out of the darkness, and inexplicably burst into the cheek of a spearman, like a porcelain bowl, and instantly dragged it into the invisible darkness.

Then, in a second, a heart-rending scream of terror burst out of the darkness, along with a splattering patch of flesh and half-thrown feet that were still twitching on the ground.

"Romon!"

Seeing that his companion was torn apart by the Horned Demon, the spearmen on the side shouted angrily and raised their spears to stab at the black curtain, but the result was as if they were stabbed in a void, without any reaction. But then a claw reached out again, gouging out the heart of another human soldier.

"You stand back, go stop the little devil, leave it to me here."

At the critical moment, Hamilton, the chief warrior of the Ensberg family, was killed. I saw that the lion heart aura under his feet lit up, but in an instant, he directly devoured the black aura of the horned demon and tore it off. Before the demon could react, Hamilton slashed across the body of his reexposed enemy with a long sword that was slightly embraced with a sword. Like a sharp fruit knife cutting through the tender flesh, Hamilton, who was already an eighth-level warrior, slashed the horned demon in two pieces with just one look.

And in the distance, several more mid-level human warriors also rushed out to fight with the horned demons painted on the city. But within five minutes, under the cover and joint attack of many spearmen. The five horned demons who had ascended the city were all killed.

Seeing that this round of siege operations had once again yielded no results, the demon, who had already felt tired, finally slowly retreated, leaving only corpses all over the ground and blood that could not be wiped clean.

"Hamilton, how's it going?"

At this moment, Baron Ensberg, dressed in military uniform, quickly climbed the city wall, leaned against a certain battlement, and looked solemnly at the still large and powerful demon army outside the fortress.

"My lord, after repelling this wave of siege, there should be no new battles before noon." Hamilton was dressed in heavy armor and held a sharp two-handed heavy sword, and his whole person was dyed red by demonic flesh.

"Baron Ensberg."

At this moment, two mid-level warriors with the same blood-stained armor walked on the other side, they were Lord Rosser and his eldest son, Knight Hart.

"Thank you, Lord, while the battle is over, let's go down and recuperate."

Since the invasion, some of the Kent nobles who were friendly with the Ernsberg family have moved to Fort Arte to seek refuge and expand the castle's defenses. Among them, "Rosser", as an old knight family, has three middle-level warriors, including the elder Rosser, the eldest son Hart, and the eldest daughter Victoria, as well as a group of loyal and reliable family privates, so Baron Ensberg is very polite and courteous to the old lord.

"It's good that the sun is at its strongest at noon, and demons don't usually move at this time." Lord Rosser is already in his fifties, and although his combat power is still strong, his body has declined after all: "Hart, you stay and continue to garrison. ”

"Yes, father." Hart, who was holding a long axe and spear, nodded, even though he had just experienced a big battle in his prime, he was still full of energy and high fighting spirit.

"My lord, we don't have many arrows left, can we find a way to make another batch urgently?" At this time, Hamilton suddenly said.

"Yes, the most expensive thing in the high-intensity battle in the past ten days is the bow and arrow. If there is a shortage of arrows in the future, I am afraid that it will not be able to effectively suppress the Gogo. ”

Lord Rosser also looked at the towering arrow towers around him with concern, they were an important cornerstone of Fort Art's defenses, and if the arrow towers were on fire, the combat pressure of the soldiers on the walls would increase several times over.

"Regarding the replenishment of bows and arrows, the workshops in the fort are making them in full force. However, as you know, the production of arrows requires a very complex process, so the daily output is very limited. ”

Speaking of which, Baron Ensberg had already hoarded a batch of bows and arrows as one of the pillars of Fort Arte's defenses, but he was still inadequately in the face of demonic warfare.

"Or we could concentrate our arrows on the Marksman, targeting Gogomo. As for the other little devils, it is up to the warriors to do the hard topping. At this time, Hart said. (To be continued......)
