Chapter 675
Zeratul didn't have time to answer his question, for a swarm of hellbeasts sprang out of the woods, along with some horned demonic guards.
As a rough estimate, the two should be at least one against ten. It is clear that their target is the Archon and Zeratul.
Crassus first drew an invisible cordon around them, and then, as before, recited a few more incantations that were not long. Some pointy crystals suddenly emerged from beneath the ground, growing to the height of a Star Spirit Clan.
Three demon guards were impaled through their bodies by sharp stones, and one of the hellbeasts had their faces torn apart, letting out a wail.
Thanks to Crassus's timely response, Zeratul had time to think about what to do with his enemies. The demons were approaching, and he sent a distress signal to the trees closest to them, and everything was pinned on these trees.
The thick branches full of leaves stretched out, hooking the four demon soldiers at once, and then slowly lifting them into the air until they were gone. Zeratul didn't know what had happened to these unfortunate people, but one thing was for sure: they were gone forever.
The rest of the trees simply stretched out their branches, and duly struck at the charging Burning Legion. A hellbeast stumbled over a branch and fell helplessly to the ground; One was even more unlucky, having been hit hard and broken his neck in an unsuspecting situation.
Still, demons, especially the hellbeasts, kept coming at them. The vicious dogs slowly approached, their eyes full of greed, and it was clear that it was the two trapped Star Spirit Clan who made them salivate.
Zeratul's psionic storm is effective, but the demons seem to be more afraid of Crassus, which makes sense.
The latter possesses more powerful mana than the former, and casts spells like a blast of wind, cold and ruthless. The sick consuls are very different from when they first met, yes. He was still tired, but he would not let that deter him.
A loud thunderous sound echoed through the forest, and suddenly a thin, shiny tentacle wrapped around Crassus's neck, tightening and tightening like a rope lasso, and he had to grapple with his hands, but to no avail. The tentacles lifted the Archon up, pulling it back little by little, towards the crystal spikes he had summoned.
Zeratul had the courage to look back and saw a creature as terrifying as Turahals—a man with a large body and riding a skeleton. With horns on his head and fire in his eyes, he was dragging Crassus to death with a terrible whip.
This new guy is taller than the other demons, and with others giving way to him, Zeratul thinks he should be the leader of these demons.
Zeratul grabbed a few blades of grass and threw them at the horrific whip. The blades of grass spun rapidly in the air, like a sharp knife piercing the whip, finally cutting it.
The whip split in two, and Crassus was also panting there. He landed on his knees. I was bent on untying the sleeve around my neck. The demon leader staggered, took a few steps back, and finally stood still. He then withdrew his weapon and prepared to attack Zeratul. Although it was folded for a while. The length of the whip is still intimidating.
Surrounded by demons and his companions, Zeratul knew he was in the wrong place. He and Crassus now not only have to confront these demonic assassins in their pursuit, but they have also brought out their leaders. That guy wouldn't let them go easily. None of Garrod would come to their aid, only Rawson and Bullocks knew about their departure, and both thought they would return safely. It's too simple for everyone to think!
To Zeratul's surprise. The demon did not immediately draw a second whip, but said to him in a hissing voice, "Cast ...... Let's drop! If you surrender, you will be released...... Over you! I think I'm great...... Bigger...... In the name of Dideros, I assure you! This...... is your only living ...... Road ......"
Crassus coughed and cleared his throat: "If you throw ...... to the Burning Legion Surrender, what awaits yours will ...... It will be a torture countless times more painful than the most cruel death! You must fight to the death, Zeratul! ”
Zeratul shuddered at the thought of that little encounter with Tulahals, so he agreed with the Archon. He could almost imagine what the demons would do to their prisoners, especially those who had been holding them in a bind, and he said, "We will not surrender!" ”
The demon's flaming eyes flickered with rage, and he raised his whip and flicked it four times. Every time it hit the ground, a bolt of lightning was swung out, and then a terrifying vicious dog was born. In this way, several huge monsters appeared in front of the demon in an instant.
"So, let my pet ...... Have a good meal on you, star... Spirit! ”
Crassus stood still, staring at the demon leader, his eyes closed, his murderous motive hidden.
But the Adversary had been on guard against this, and he saw that he kept dancing the whip in his hand, creating a layer of self-defense mist. Suddenly, a little fire erupted from the mist, as if it had been attacked in some kind of burst.
"I was unfortunate enough to anticipate it." Crassus muttered, "He's Hatu, the dog king!" ”
Zeratul wanted to ask him about the demon leader, but then the other demons attacked again. Although the crystal stone played a certain defensive role, it could not withstand the demons' tearing, scratching, and chopping. Seeing this scene, Hatu in the distance couldn't help but laugh loudly, like the neighing of a thousand enraged poisonous snakes.
One of the demon guards had broken through the crystal-stone defenses and was about to attack the two of them. When it was too late, countless dragon knights suddenly poured into the battlefield from all directions. Before the demons could react, the dragon knight had already knocked several enemies to the ground. The new forces are fighting and singing loudly.
Zeratul was dumbfounded, and it took him a moment to realize that these people were not Sissy Shadowge's men.
For the first time, Zeratul saw Zeling in battle. Many wielded curved psionic blades, others wielded short spears with two pointed ends, and some wore short bows no longer than their forearms, firing arrow after arrow with agility.
The attack of the new forces soon paid off: many of the Hellbeasts were poked into hedgehogs and fell to the ground. Ze Ling calmly swung his weapon like a male warrior, and his sword fell, and a demon with horns was beheaded. Two dragon knights pounced on the other Hellbeast, bombarding its body from both sides, leaving behind a bloody corpse.
In this group of Star Spirit Clan, who swept through thousands of armies and terrified the Burning Legion, Zeratul saw Zeling's figure.
He was about to call her when a tall demonic guard came at him, but luckily he reacted quickly and didn't get hit. The Star Spirit Clan rolled to the side, escaping the demon's attack range, and then recited the incantation.
I saw that the ground under the demon guard's feet turned into a damp quicksand, and his body was sinking, but after hard work, the sand finally did not overflow his waist. He grabbed the edge of the bunker with his movable hand, trying to escape the land of right and wrong.
Zeratul wouldn't give him that chance. He kicked the sword off the demon's hand, trying to snatch it up. The demon twisted around and tried to grab his legs. Zeratul slid a little, and the demon grabbed his foot and tried to drag him into the quicksand, at which point Zeratul finally grasped the hilt of his sword.
Zeratul swung his sword with all his strength, stabbing it deep into the demon's skull.
The demon guard slowly sank into the quicksand, but Zeratul saw that the battle on the other side was not broken.
There are still many people in danger. As soon as Zeratul stood up straight, one of Zerin was pulled from her saddle stirrups by the Hellbeast, her neck being bitten through like silk by the enemy. A demon stabbed its weapon into the gaping steel jaw of a dragon knight, and the other end of the hilt pierced through the center of its shoulder blades, and Ze Ling on the dragon knight's body fell to the ground in an instant, and another demon warrior immediately came over and killed her.
