Chapter 33: The Great Defeat (1)
Countless giants suddenly stood on the mountain walls on both sides.
said that it was a giant, but in fact, it was about the same size as a puppet, and it was far away, and I couldn't see what kind of thing it was, so I saw it lifting stones and smashing them down.
When the stone fell into the air, it began to burn, and it exploded immediately when it hit the ground, like a powerful explosive packet, and the flame explosion engulfed the ruins of the city wall almost instantly.
Although this kind of attack is violent, it will not have any effect on the sturdy machine puppet in a short period of time, and the evil ghost hiding in the machine puppet will not be afraid of this physical attack as a pure soul state.
But the attack was not without effect.
The violent explosion blew the ruins of the city wall into a large crater.
No, it wasn't blown up, but as soon as it was blown up, the entire ruin suddenly fell down, turning into a big pit, directly trapping all the puppets in the deep pit, including the poor stunned command mage.
The defending native soldiers on the second layer of the city wall suddenly retreated to both sides, and as they retreated, a column of black-robed characters appeared along the city wall, even their heads and faces were hidden in their robes, and it was impossible to see what kind of guy it was. As soon as they stood out, there was a buzz on the city walls, as if a large swarm of wasps had flown up.
With a faint humming sound, an attack at the pure soul level, invisible to the naked eye, unleashed an unprecedented density towards the puppet demon trapped in the pit.
The surface of the puppet is equipped with a magic circle to protect against soul-level attacks, this kind of magic circle is simple and effective, designed by the inheritance company, the only drawback is that it cannot be maintained automatically for a long time, and it requires at least one mage to maintain the appropriate mana activation. Usually, the pre-stored mana can only support the circle to run three to five times, and the number of times depends on the intensity of the attack received.
To be honest, this kind of magic circle was specially ordered by Yong Bowen to Chengshi Company, on the one hand, to ensure that the evil ghost can continue to fight when it is attacked by the soul, and to ensure that if the evil ghost launches a rebellion, the mage can quickly control the situation, which can be described as a waste of painstaking work.
The problem now, though, is that the only command mage in this force who can maintain such a circle is already in a state of sickness.
Originally, according to the company's regular allocation, a force should have at least three or four human mages to ensure that such an accident occurred.
However, when Yang Zhenghua planned this operation, in order to balance the distribution of interests, he directly let each combat mage unit lead a unit, so that when looting, he could avoid internal strife due to uneven distribution.
Now, the consequences of this change are dire.
The protective circle on the puppet only lasted three times at most, and then it collapsed, and the evil ghosts hidden in the puppet were directly exposed to enemy attacks.
No matter how strong the demon is, it can't resist this kind of strong attack on the soul level, which is why the evil ghost is the lowest level of existence in hell, any hell natives are born with a certain soul level attack ability, but the evil ghost is the most vulnerable at the soul level, and any even the weakest hell natives can easily destroy the soul of a demon spirit.
What's more, this time, because the enemy attaches great importance to it, the attack force used is a race that can be called a trump card at the soul attack level, and even many high-level natives cannot resist in the face of their soul attacks.
After the magic circle was cracked, with just one wave of attacks, all the demons hiding in the puppets of the entire army were wiped out.
However, the attacking forces on the city walls did not stop, but continued to attack in ten consecutive waves without stopping.
When the attack stopped, the entire canyon regained its deathly silence.
The gate on the second city wall was wide open, and the hell native soldiers of the brigade rushed out quickly with large and small materials, and soon erected a simple lifting machine on the edge of the large pit formed by the first layer of the city wall, and lifted the puppets at the bottom of the pit one by one.
After the control team of each lifting machine, a person wearing a black robe was followed to inspect and register the hoisted machine qì puppet one by one. As a result, the puppet that hid the command mage was picked out at the first time and escorted into the city by a large group of men.
It didn't take long for all the puppets to be hoisted out of the pit and transported into the city, and the soldiers who had completed the task quickly dismantled all the machinery and withdrew.
When the ruins of the first layer of the wall were once again quiet, some of the natives dressed in ash and choking stood on the second floor of the wall and began to wave their arms and cast spells.
The gravel around and below the pit flew up and condensed under the control of the spell, and soon turned into a spectacular wall.
The surface of the wall was so tattered that anyone could tell that it was nothing more than mud and grass.
But this was only temporary, and the dusty natives continued to cast spells, and the mud and dust on the ground flew up and pasted on the surface of the city walls, and they also squirmed rapidly, forming a series of decent textured gaps.
In no more than twenty minutes at most, the collapsed city wall stood in place again, with extraordinary courage, and at first glance it was an important offensive that was extremely strong.
The giants at both ends of the mountain wall disappeared one after another.
After the first wall was restored, the gates were opened, and some natives about the size of dogs with fragile wings flew out, quickly cleaning and tidying up the canyon passages.
When the 8014th Brigade of the Eighth Detachment, which was closely behind the 3009 Brigade, arrived at the entrance of this canyon, the entire canyon had been cleaned and it was completely unclear that there had been a short but extremely fierce battle.
After a short observation, the commander of the 8014 brigade made the same decision as the commander of the 3009 brigade, and immediately began to attack, which was worse than the commander of the 3009 brigade, he did not even send an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the checkpoint, nor did he send evil ghosts to reconnoiter both sides of the mountain wall, and directly led the team into the canyon with such a swagger.
So the tragedy of the 3009 Brigade was almost exactly the same repeated, all the demons were destroyed by the soul attack, and the commander mage was stunned in the violent explosion, and then captured alive.
This farcical battle was repeated almost a dozen times, until two armies met head-to-head and reached the entrance to the canyon at the same time.
These two brigades belong to two different detachments, although they are all combat mages from the Mage Association, and when they were in the Mage Association, they didn't shave less rice in a pot, and after arriving at the Hell Colonization Company, they usually don't look up and see each other, but the word is sharp, and the other qiē has to be put behind for the time being.
The two commanding mages had a big fight over who would attack first, and they didn't give in.
In their opinion, whoever attacks first means who enters the city and sacks, and such a big city that has been seen for the first time since entering hell is not much worse than half an hour.
The two commanders quarreled so much that they almost threw their fists at each other, but before they could make a difference, more and more troops began to arrive one after another, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in front of the entire canyon mouth.
As the old saying goes, this person is tens of thousands, even the sky is all over the wilderness, not to mention that the people who come here are all oversized puppets, and for a time it was really all over the mountains, boundless, and imposing like a rainbow.
