On the walls of Augusto's walls, tens of thousands of defenders of the city had been looking into the distance for an hour with high nervousness, but there was still no movement in the distant forest.

Could it be that you have hit the nail on the head?

A trace of unease could not help but rise in the heart of Augusto's supreme commander, Malthus.

Most of the county's forces are now concentrated in the city, the first fortress of the royal capital, which also means that the guards in the rest of the county have become weak.

The real goal of the demons is not the royal capital, but to take down the entire Oguto County?!

He looked sideways at Andrey, the "Divine Favorite" of the Demon Hunting Association, and the other party's expression was as ugly as his own.

"Did Lord Divine Favor see anything?"

Long before a stick of incense, the commanders, who were supposed to be sitting in their chairs and waiting, stood up and involuntarily approached the wall.

Among them, of course, also includes the anxious Andrey.

"The Demon Emperor of the Origin Demon Clan is extremely cunning, I'm afraid we all fell for his tricks. ”

I have to admit that maybe in such a long time, the Origin Demon Clan has long left that forest and headed for other small cities with little resistance.

It is not difficult to imagine that the previous massacres will be staged in one place after another.

The strength of human beings is too weak, and in front of such a powerful demon race, they can only be ravaged, and ordinary people have no room to resist and are ruthlessly killed.

Andrew, as a demon slayer on the side of the town, has been roaming this area since inheriting the Doomsday Thunderbox, and has seen too many regrets.

He tried his best to make amends, but this time he really felt powerless.

Andre alone, although in his eyes the individual strength of the demon race could not threaten him, he still did not dare to fight alone.

Even if the Demon Hunting Society and the Holy Emperor's Church in Oguto County helped, the strength of both sides would be irreparable.

All he could do was send the message to the demons around him as much as he could, and try to hold the most important city of all.

He felt that the destruction of other cities was caused by his own incompetence, but he had to suppress this strong sense of guilt.

These are necessary sacrifices for the sake of humanity.

"What the Lord of the Divine Favor said, did we fall for the Demon Emperor's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"

"There's a great possibility. ”

Andre didn't want to say more, just quietly looked into the distance.

The human generals also heard the unwillingness and helplessness in Andrew's words, and consciously closed their mouths and looked together.

Until ————

"What's that!"

As a soldier shouted in fright, everyone's eyes followed the direction of his finger.

No one accused him of being undisciplined, for their attention was drawn to that small black spot in the sky.

After a few breaths, most people recognized what it was and couldn't help but laugh.

A battering stone.

And judging by the trajectory, it was shot from a distant forest.

This is undoubtedly far beyond the distance of ordinary catapults, even the top [Divine Punishment] catapults of the Begret Empire must admit that they are not strong in the face of this distance.

What's more, it's from the demon side?

Nothing more than their clumsy technology or captured from some swept town, right?

Do you want to say that they are ignorant, or that they are arrogant?

Even the corners of Malthus's originally stiff mouth on the podium showed a smile.

Although it seems that this direction is coming from his side, the trajectory of the stone has begun to shift downward.

Not to mention hitting the strong command platform on the city wall, it is a miracle that you can cross the moat.

Sure enough, the group of people of the Origin Demon Race are still as well-limbed and simple-minded as before? They haven't grown at all for hundreds of years!

When the stone fell to the same height as the podium, everyone was convinced that the stone, which was still a hundred meters away, could not pose the slightest threat to them.

But things changed at that moment-

The falling stone did not smash into the ground according to the established route, but in mid-air, as if it had been swung by a baseball player with all its might, it turned straight ahead and accelerated at a strange angle that frightened everyone present!

"How is that possible-"

Malthus, who was still smiling a second ago, had a wild change in his face, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Squat down with your heads in your hands!"

Andre shouted as he held up the staff studded with the Doomsday Thunderbox, and at the same time attacked the rapidly flying rocks at the first time.

Purple electric light with a strong aura of destruction pulsed on the surface of the Doomsday Thunderbox, and in less than a blink of an eye, it quickly coalesced, emitting a dazzling thunder light.

"Destroy!!!

As Andre chanted, purple lightning pierced the air in front of him with the power of destroying heaven and earth, like an enraged dragon striking the enemy in front of him.

A deafening crackling sound resounded over the city of Augusto, and in just a moment of lightning, the entire city wall was dominated by the terrifying thunder.

But this is only the beginning of a disaster.

Instead of completely shattering such a large boulder, the powerful lightning from the Doomsday Thundercrate blasted it not far from the city walls.

Under the cover of the dazzling thunder, countless flying stones slammed away in all directions.

Rocks as small as a fist and as large as a man's length and width mercilessly attack the target in its direction.

Although the rock that eventually reached the city wall was only a small part of the boulder, it was also lethal enough to take the lives of ordinary people in an instant.

The soldiers who squatted down in time with their heads in their hands trembled inside the smashed and crumbling city walls, and many of them were injured by the impact of this strong impact.

However, in the end, there were no casualties, only a single digit number of personnel were slightly injured.

The physical damage was not enough to shake the defenders, but the psychological impact clearly affected everyone in the area.

The few people wailed under the broken city walls, accompanied by the sound of stones rolling down to the ground, and recalling the earth-shattering explosion just now, it was as if the city wall had been smashed into a breach.

The soldiers who were still squatting did not know the situation, and were swayed by this illusion, and more than a dozen people threw down their weapons and fled one after another, and then took up a group of people like an avalanche.

These people are just temporary conscripted peasants, and their families are old and young, so how can they give up their lives for the sake of what this "superior person" should be in charge of?

Fortunately, the officers who were not affected in the distance stopped it in time, and a large-scale escape was avoided.

Andre turned his gaze to the Supreme Commander, but he was disappointed by his performance.

"How······ How come?"

The corners of Malthus's mouth twitched at the thrilling scene, and he began to speak incoherently as if he were a patient with a seizure.

The other commanders fell directly to the ground, holding their heads and trembling like soldiers on the city walls.

These people can be said to be veterans of the battlefield, but in the face of such a picture, the defense line that was hard to build in their hearts still collapsed in an instant.

"That's the magic of one of the demons! Cheer up! The city of Oguto hasn't surrendered yet!"

Andre shouted at him loudly, trying to save the Supreme Commander's mind, but it was clear that the other party would not be able to hear him for a short time.

The scene was so shocking that it was like a meteorite that could destroy a city explode in front of him, bringing absolute death and despair.

To be honest, even the guardian of the Doomsday Thunder Box is still a little apprehensive.

But now is clearly not the time to comfort others.

A second death-like siege stone is creeping up.

"That guy !!"

Andre gritted his teeth and raised his staff, using the power of the Doomsday Thunderbox once more.

He knew very well how the almost miraculous scene happened, and the moment he saw the sudden turn of the siege stone, he understood what the intention of the Origin Demon Race was.

A long time ago, his master had introduced him to a few surviving demon clan members and told him to be on guard.

And among the demons mentioned by the master, there is a human demon who is respected as the protector of the Dharma, and has magic that may cause such a situation.

【Precision Strike】

This is a demon magic named by the great magician himself, and its origin is the surviving demon race.

Objects in projectiles or dispensers can be enchanted so that they can hit a specific location or target with precision.

There is no doubt that the anomaly that appeared this time was the demon protector who made a ghost!

A single demon is not terrible, and a demon who only relies on his own magic and brute force is not difficult to deal with.

But this time I met a group of origin demons led by cunning people who would also use siege equipment!

"Stop!"

The thunder burst out, and the long purple whip struck straight at the stones in the air, and after the roar, the third siege stone followed.

In the forest outside the city of Augusto, three disassembled catapults are placed on a flat ground that has been cleared by hand.

There were only four people present, one of whom sat on a protruding rock outside the catapult and rested leisurely, while the other slowly moved between the three catapults with a short sharp knife and cut the thick rope of the catapult with his hands.

The other two men were visibly in a hurry—one had broken the rock and lifted it to the prepared catapult, and the other followed the man who walked slowly, sweating down to replace it with a new rope and prepare the catapult for the next attack.

"Hey, I said can you stop attacking the same place all the time? Obviously, with that guy here, there's no way we're going to do too much damage to the podium. ”

The person sitting on the rock took advantage of his height to look at the result of every stone fired from this side, but without exception was crushed by a powerful lightning bolt.

"Our goal is not to capture this city, right? Lord Demon Emperor and that Tianyin are gone, and we are only responsible for delaying here. ”

The man didn't stop his slow steps, but tilted his head slightly to reply to his words.

"Even if it's just delaying time, you should be serious!, otherwise everyone will think that our Origin Demon Clan is an inflexible idiot!"

"Whoever dares to say that, I'll kill them. ”

He cut the thick rope again, and the catapult rumbled and projected huge stones.

But the man sitting on the rock could see that the trajectory was no longer directed by the command platform that had been bombarded six times without hitting.

This guy doesn't say anything, but he's still very persuasive.

But it didn't do much, because the lightning bolts, which also bend, followed and blasted them like eyes.

"How long did Lord Demon Emperor say you want us to delay?"

"It seems like a half-day off-ensive, and after three rounds of offensives we can retreat. ”

"Aren't humans stupid enough to send someone over to investigate the situation, and if they find out that it's just the four of us, the Doomsday Thunderbox will be enough to kill us, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the two demons who sold coolies couldn't help but tremble fiercely.

The man on the rock glanced at them and said, "They don't dare to gamble." As long as the demon slayer is around, they won't venture out of the city to find out. Not to mention the fact that beyond this forest is a plain with sweeping views, and my eyesight is not even to this extent. ”

"I'll just believe you for the time being. ”
