Chapter 491
Alec has just turned eighteen this year, and unlike those in the south because he was born in the northern part of the kingdom of Calest, he grew up on the border and has a deep-seated hatred for the Holy Alliance, mainly because of the frequent presence of Delima cavalry in the name of destroying evil.
To this day, he can still vividly remember his mother's blood-stained face, when he was not yet ten years old, and on that burning night, his father hid him in the depths of the grass and then took up a long knife and left, but he never appeared again, and when he struggled to crawl out, all he saw was corpses, and those uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who had been kind in the past were lying on the ground in horror.
From that day on, he swore that the Delimar people would pay the price!
Under her leadership, the kingdom of Calesta won more and more victories, not only taking the eastern part of the Belize Plains, but also making the villains of the Duchy of Delima pay for their blood debts.
Although there seemed to be many people in the country who thought that the massacres were too cruel, Alec only scoffed at this, they were all idiots who stood and talked without backache, and they didn't know the blood feud that the people in the north of the Dao remembered for their deep hatred.
But no one expected that the situation would suddenly take a turn for the worse in just a few months, and just when the people of the country were most satisfied, when the princess had just led them to defeat the main force of the Fairmont Kingdom, there were even many people who said that they would take the entire Belize Plain.
In less than a few months, they had lost all the place they had occupied for the past two years, and they had to retreat into a fortress that was almost abandoned.
Undead monsters, undead legions, and death spreaders, these terms are obviously associated with the three supreme gods promoted by the other party, and they are indeed all evil gods......
A loud explosion of "boom ......" sounded not far from his side, causing his thoughts to be interrupted abruptly, and he was dizzy as he hid more carefully behind the battlements.
Damn, how could those undead monsters have so many magic artillery carriages?
The "boom ......" explosions made the entire fortress feel as if the end had come, and the black and white smoke and dust rose high, and countless rubbles splashed one after another, and it hurt fiercely when it hit the face.
In front of the fortress, the magic cannon carriages lined up flashed with all kinds of lights, and they opened fire wantonly under the manipulation of the dead who had become the people of death, this sudden blow even Miranda did not expect, she did not expect that the weapon lost in the past battle would actually become the enemy's help.
How is this possible? Those dead people can also manipulate alchemical products? Even ordinary magicians don't want to use it freely without training!
However, no matter how strange the surprise, the fact is irrefutable, the hundreds of magic artillery carriages are mercilessly bombarding the defenders who were originally waiting for them, and also greatly destroying Miranda's original arrangement.
Fortunately, due to heat dissipation problems, these artillery carriages soon had to stop roaring, and seeing the hundreds of stone giants in front of the opposing side begin to move towards the fortress, Princess Miranda hurriedly ordered: "Prepare for defense, long-range strike aiming, the target is those stone statues!" ”
After receiving the order, the soldiers who had been blown up to the ground below finally came to their senses, and the well-trained ones immediately put aside their fears and quickly began to prepare for defense, and at the same time, on the second and third floors of the fortress, many magicians and magicians dressed in ordinary soldiers' clothes were in place.
There are also those magic gun trucks that have already adjusted their positions, and they have opened the rear compartment and put in magic crystals so that they can cover fire at any time.
At this moment, hundreds of roars of "Roaring ......" were connected into one piece, and a large number of black dots fell from the sky, and it was Lytia's proud work to transform the demonic beast that launched an aerial strike first.
Pupils shrank, Miranda was surprised even though she had prepared for it, there were so many?
"Attack from a distance, shoot freely, suppress them!"
Suddenly, a large number of arrows and magic flew into the sky, pounced on those terrifying monsters that were rapidly falling, and for a while, the sky was full of colorful light, like colorful fireworks.
Many monsters can't dodge, and they are hit one after another, although their vitality is also very tenacious, but in the face of this overwhelming blow, they fell to the ground like dumplings, but the attack worked on the Calestan side was not good, these monster corpses with the inertia of falling from thousands of meters above the clouds smashed to the ground, the power was not far from the bomb.
And because of the speed of these monsters, the archers below had already pounced on them before they could unleash a second round of attacks, not to mention the magicians, who hadn't even passed the casting buffer.
Flames, frost, lightning, thick acid, the monsters that roared by spewed out their own breath to their heart's content, causing a large number of casualties in an instant, and even some huge monsters even fell directly to the ground, claws slapped their mouths and bites to cause even greater chaos, and finally all the magicians and demon spirit masters deliberately changed their outfits, so that they could not be taken care of as in the past, resulting in heavy losses.
Seeing a giant flying lizard with three heads landing on the city wall, Alec's heart suddenly jumped heavily, but he immediately gritted his teeth fiercely, clenched the long sword in his hand and rushed forward.
Halfway through, he watched his companions being torn apart one by one, or letting monsters fall off the city wall and scream, but he did not waver, his chest rose and fell rapidly as he breathed for death, and his muscles were tense to the extreme.
Seeing the opportunity, he jumped forward suddenly, stabbing out with all his strength with the sword in both hands, and the smelly liquid sprayed all over his face, almost unable to open his eyes, and the blade more than a meter long actually burrowed into the monster's body, and at the same time cut a terrifying wound along his weight.
"Roar!" A roar of pain sounded, and the frenzied monster's body slammed around, flicking him back and forth in the air, but Alec grabbed the hilt of the sword and refused to let go, and in a daze, he didn't know where the monster had taken him, and he could only feel the violent air coming to his face.
Finally, as if it had exhausted his life, the monster slammed to the ground, and Alec, who had collided heavily with the ground, let go of his hands and looked at the huge body that was still twitching on the ground, and he became scared in hindsight.
But soon, the shouts of the commander brought him back to his senses, the war, this has just begun!
Calest's soldiers were truly elite, unwavering even in the face of monsters far stronger than themselves, bending their bows and arrows or wielding swords in battle, many of whom were about to lose their youth, but there were also many warriors who performed miracles like Alec.
Under their brave battle, the attack of the first wave of flying monsters was finally contained.
However, in this delayed time, the hundreds of huge stone giants had slowly approached the moat, and in the face of the natural danger of tens of meters deep, these giants jumped down without hesitation, and then stirred up monstrous waves.
When the giant stood still in the water, he stood together in twos and threes, and raised the huge planks he had been holding in his arms with both hands, and in this way he built bridges, and the large number of undead creatures that followed behind immediately roared in tacit agreement and rushed across the moat.
Princess Miranda, who was the commander-in-chief, hurriedly gave the order again, "Divide your men, attack those wooden bridges, and burn them!" ”
As one shining fireball flew out, and then exploded on the wooden bridge with precision, the strong power immediately destroyed wave after wave of the dead, but unfortunately the wooden bridge didn't know what material the road was, and it actually stood tall in these attacks, and after several rounds of attacks in a row, it didn't even collapse one of them.
As a last resort, Miranda had no choice but to order again, "The magic cannon carriage fires!" In fact, she didn't want to use the gun carriage so early, because the heat dissipation time of these alchemy products was too long, but she couldn't care about it now.
The deafening explosions of the "Boom ......" came one after another, and the affected moat suddenly splashed like a fountain, and the evaporating white mist even obscured the sight of both sides.
In front of the Legion of the Dead, Flora, who had been quietly watching the battle, suddenly showed a bloodthirsty smile, just beckoned gently, and suddenly hundreds of stone giants stepped forward holding the wooden bridge, and they were not only followed by ordinary living corpses at the beginning, but mixed with all kinds of modified creatures.
Due to the thick fog that temporarily blocked the movement of the enemy, Miranda had to order the magician to release the wind-making spell, but before the fog could dissipate, huge objects were thrown into the city, and these huge flesh-like things fell apart once they landed, and the black mist emitted from them was comparable to the most terrifying plague, which could make all the nearby soldiers first start to breathe, and then they would fall to the ground foaming at the mouth.
After all, there are still many demon masters on the Calestal side, these spellcasters who have been dealing with demons for many years, and they are quite experienced in the control of the plague curse, and they have stabilized the situation after some scrambling.
By this time, however, a large number of members of the legion of the dead who had rebuilt the bridge had crossed the moat, and they had leaned the improvised wooden ladder against the wall, and then they began to climb up in cooperation with each other, and this was only the lowest level of living corpses.
As for those modified creatures, they have their own means, for example, their hands are like sickles, and they directly rely on their strength to smash small holes in the city wall, and then go up like rock climbing, and some of the hands and feet are changed into suckers to swim up the city wall like geckos, and some have wings at all and can fly directly to the city......
In the face of this overwhelming variety of deformed creatures, the guards above also used all their means, using hook and sickle guns to knock down wooden ladders, pouring down burning oil, smashing all kinds of long logs, and so on.
Although these methods caused a large number of casualties, more casualties were soon replaced, so in just a short time, many of the walls were already engaged in tragic hand-to-hand combat.
Fortunately, the immortal nature of the dead was expected, and the effect of these soldiers all changing to sledgehammers as weapons was quite obvious, so the two sides were at a standoff for a while, and even the Calests could have a slight upper hand.
But in the face of this situation, neither Miranda nor Flora cares, the Legion of the Dead is truly tireless, and a long battle is their advantage!
