readx;?“ Get ready for battle!"

On the walls of the fortress of Monsoon City, the officers ran back and forth, giving orders loudly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hurry!"

Bands of soldiers hurried into combat positions. The spears swayed like weeds at the head of the city, and the archers nervously looked down in front of the pheasants, placing their arrows where they were most convenient. There are also countless people who carry wood, iron gate knives and iron pots and firewood for burning oil.

The fortress's defensive circle has been opened under the auspices of dozens of white-robed mages. With the infusion of magic power and the input of a large number of magic cores, a blue light like a water curtain enveloped the entire fortress. On the twelve arrow towers around the fortress, there are even fiery red streamers rising into the sky.

This red streamer is like a giant python crawling on the blue light curtain, containing but not emitting. As soon as an enemy approaches in the air, it will unleash a thunderous strike.

And in the open space inside the city walls, hundreds of knights have also put on heavy armor and have assembled. As soon as the war called for it, they galloped out of the city gates and charged the enemy.

The atmosphere grew tense, and the entire fortress was running like a machine with all its might activated. The sound of footsteps and shouts came and went.

At the same time, a few hundred meters away from the monsoon fortress, one figure after another walked out of the black fog.

They walked through the woods, over the hillsides, and across the streams, forming a black, oppressive circle toward the Yellowstone hills, where the monsoon fortress was located.

It is a race that is pitch black, dressed in tight-fitting armor, with anti-jointed lower limbs like goat's hind legs, a tall, athletic body, and a face like a praying mantis. In their hands, they held a scythe like a grim reaper, and behind their backs, wings like cicadas vibrated violently.

Zizi's voices, from one to thousands, are intertwined, making people feel numb when they listen to it.

The soldiers on the city wall all knew that this was the night killing clan of the demon clan. Today will be the third time they have played against this race.

The Monsoon Fortress is located to the west of the province of Cannotti, near the province of Banga, and is the northern section of the Carlo Line, the first line of defense of the Pompeii Empire against the demons. Because the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, therefore, as soon as the royal family of the Pompeii Empire learned of the demon invasion, they used the monsoon fortress as a key node to resist the demon invasion.

In the past few months, the demon soldiers have been sharp, sweeping in all directions. While countless nobles, civilians, and even the army fled in panic under the attack of the demons, the convoy transporting troops and grain was like a long dragon, driving into Monsoon City in an endless stream, constantly strengthening the defense force here.

Today's Monsoon City is strong and impregnable.

Two weeks ago, when the demons first arrived here, they were struck under the strong walls of the fortress. Stopped their progress.

In the first two encounters, the defenders of the Monsoon Fortress did not actually take advantage of anything.

Despite their strong walls and commanding terrain, they repeatedly repelled attacks from the Night Slayers, but the price they paid was quite heavy.

Unlike the way humans attack fortresses, Night Slayer does not require any siege equipment at all. They would run from a great distance, and when they approached two hundred meters to the fortress, they spread their thin wings and pounced on the walls like locusts. Lightning-fast speeds.

And even the lowest-ranking soldiers, their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of an armed knight.

Their scythes are unmatchedly sharp, and with a single swing, they can often disembowel two or three fully armed human soldiers, or even cut them in two. And their tight armor is made of some unknown pieces, and it is unusually strong. Ordinary human soldiers stab with all their strength with sharp spears, and it is difficult to break through.

The low-level demons are so terrifying, and those high-level demons are even more desperate.

The squad leader of the Night Slayer is four wings, the squadron leader is six wings, and the big leader is eight wings. For each higher position, their strength increases several times. If a Night Slayer leader were to storm the city, the humans would have to fight to the death at all costs to repel it.

Therefore, both siege battles were tragic and anomalous. When the demons retreated, the corpses of the defenders on the city wall were stacked on top of each other, and it was a hellish sight.

Thankfully, Monsoon City has four Knights of Light and dozens of Knights of Glory. Moreover, the fortress's demonic array is powerful and has a whole group of magicians with more than a hundred magicians to help, otherwise, I am afraid that Monsoon City would have fallen as early as the first attack of the demons.

At this moment, on the main tower in the center of the fortress, a Sun Grand Magus with a wide-brimmed spired magic hat was staring intently at the demons in the sparkling farsighted scene with the two Great Knights of Light.

Praying mantis-like faces appeared in the magic water mirror.

"When I was a child, I always wondered what the demons were like, and what they were afraid of to drive us here from the Divine Continent," a stout knight of light stared at the mirror image and said, "But I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would actually fight these guys." ”

"The Night Slayer is a well-known among the demons," said the gray-bearded old mage, "they are natural warriors, and they are best at siege and jungle hunting. The most terrifying thing is that this race is not weak in fertility and grows quickly. A Night Slayer evolves every three years. And once you successfully evolve, your strength will be doubled compared to before. If it weren't for their short lifespan and low success rate of evolution, I'm afraid that even the royal family of the demon race would not be their opponent. ”

As he spoke, the Controlling Farsightedness Mirror Sweep over the approaching demon team, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he said, "But I think it's strange that it is recorded in the history books that the Night Killing Clan usually cooperates with other races and rarely fights alone. Why are they attacking the city alone this time?"

"It's not surprising," said the Dwarf Knight of Light, "anyway, this is our territory, after all. Although the demons have captured the Holy City, what kind of place is the Holy City? Not to mention ordinary people, even knights with inferior strength can't stand it. They crossed over from the Holy City, and the logistics of troops were the biggest problem. ”

The other knight of light, who was taller and older, nodded, "Yes." The arms cooperate and have high requirements for all aspects of conditions. Let's take it as an example, if it's just a run, it's basically a knight's job. Whether it's logistics, or other troops, they can't keep up at all. Only well-prepared battles, or defending the city like ours, knights, magic legions, archers, and infantry can cooperate. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the demons in the mirror image and said, "I guess the demons should be the same." In a short time, their forces could not keep up. Now it's just a matter of taking us by surprise and seizing the opportunity to expand. Hit wherever you can, and first broaden your foothold. Otherwise, when the alliance of our three empires is formed and the troops are assembled, we may be able to drive them back at once. ”

"The Three Kingdoms Alliance??" the old magician's attention was distracted from his previous doubts, and he sneered, "I think it's easier for us to make peace directly with the demons." Don't say that Fei Lie is ambitious, let's talk about ...... Isn't that lord also eyeing Solan's throne?"

"Hey," the stout knight sneered, "I'm afraid they won't have that life." For more than 200 years, their dream of becoming an emperor has not been few, but which one has succeeded?"

"This time is different," the tall knight said impartially, "Augustus is a once-in-a-century genius, and I heard that he has already arrived in Carlo with the Templars. If he is as rumored to be, I think he is the future leader of humanity. It's not a big deal to be called emperor!"

As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly froze: "The demon attack has begun." ”

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, a loud and piercing whistling sound rang out. It was the demon clan that blew the magic snail. Like the human trumpets and drums, it is the command of battle.

After the sound of the magic snail, the huge sizzling sound was like a huge ocean tide. The Night Slayer began to run at high speed, their sturdy bodies leaping across the ground like cheetahs, and the thin wings on their backs vibrated faster and faster. Soon, their speed had been boosted to the extreme.

Hundreds of meters away from the fortress, the Night Slayer Demon who rushed to the front took off into the air at the same time, and flew towards the city.

For a while, I saw a group of demons like clouds, overwhelming. The night killer demon in front soared into the sky, and the night killer demon behind rose one after another, looking from a distance, it looked like a big wave coming.

This scene is not the first time everyone has seen it. But every time I see it, I am still moved.

However, having become familiar with the attack methods of the Night Demon Clan, the defenders of the fortress were far more calm and experienced than the previous two times. Almost as soon as the opponent vacated, the officer on the city wall gave an order, and the archers, who had already drawn their bows and arrows, suddenly loosened their tight bowstrings.

Whoosh ...... The dense sound of arrows breaking through the air immediately drowned out the disturbing sound of the night slayer's thin wings. In particular, the sound of the armor-piercing crossbow erected on the guard tower was even more earth-shattering, like a thunderbolt.

The rain of arrows was like a sudden burst of black sand, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the Night Slayer Demon Group.

In the face of the night slaying demons who attacked the city, the arrows of the fortress defenders did not exceed forty-five degrees as before. Rather, it is kept at an angle of thirty-five degrees. And the ten degrees of low make the arrow the most powerful, just in time to collide with the demons. For a moment, all I could hear was a muffled popping sound, and the Night Slayer Demon Clan who was shot fell down like dumplings.

However, the Nightslayer's tight-fitting armor was extremely strong, and its movements were agile and agile, and as it flew in, the scythe in his hand turned into a cloud of black light, obscuring his body. Therefore, only a few fell by the vital point, and many more had already pounced in front of the fortress when the defenders had just fired the second round of arrows.

And at this time, the fortress's magic pattern circle began to exert its might.

The blue guardian magic circle light curtain is like a transparent wall, blocking the demons from the fortress. The flying Night Slayer Demon crashed into it, causing ripples in circles, but it couldn't break through. At the same time, the twelve red bands of light on the guardian tower suddenly skyrocketed, turning into twelve long whips that swept in all directions.

The defenders heard only a piercing whistling sound over the fortress, only to see phantoms drawn by red light passing through the air, and then stumps and blood rained down.

The light whips of the guardian circle, each one of which is two meters thick, can be up to a thousand meters long when the magic power is sufficient, and the power is amazing. Once drawn, even a fine steel man will be crushed. The twelve light whips cooperate with each other, you advance and I retreat, you go up and I go down, and there are almost no dead ends in the attack.

Without helpers, even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain did not dare to break into the battle alone.

However, although the demons suffered heavy casualties, they did not retreat. Instead, more Night Slayer slammed down on the fortress like locusts, one after the other.

They wielded scythes and frantically attacked the guardian circle. And those high-level night slaying demons who were significantly larger took the initiative to meet the light whip of the magic circle. In particular, one of the Night Demon Slayer Captains, who had a red-skinned complexion, withstood the attacks of the two light whips alone. Every time his scythe collided with the whip of light, it exploded with a loud bang.

The other Night Slayer demons frantically attacked the Guardian Light Curtain.

From the fortress below, you can only see countless scythes slashing at the light curtain, one after another. Under this continuous and intensive attack, the light curtain spread out dense ripples like a pond in a rainstorm, one circle after another. In some places, cracks have already appeared, and some demons are struggling to tear open the cracks and get in.

And this time is the time for the defenders to kill. I saw countless fireballs, wind blades and arrows rising into the air, meteorites falling from the sky, ice banshees and savage vines flying and hovering in the air, and the fire tiger ice ape transformed into aura emerged from the light curtain of the magic circle and opened a killing ring.

The battle, almost instantaneously, entered the white heat. The entire fortress was enveloped in shouts of killing, screams, roars, and explosions, and chaos reigned in chaos.

"Today, the attack of the demons is a lot stronger. On the main tower, the tall knight nervously observed the battle situation, his brows furrowed, and he turned to the herald and ordered, "Get the third reserve ready and go to the east." Also, let Gauss lead his squad of second knights to reinforce the southern walls. ”

"Yes!" the herald sped away.

"How long will the Guardian Circle last?" the tall knight asked, turning his head and asking the old mage.

The old mage looked at the magic pattern circle under the main tower and the magicians who presided over the magic circle, and said: "This is already the second batch of people, and the presiding circle consumes a lot of spiritual power and magic power, and a group of people will have to be replaced for five minutes at most." In addition, the consumption rate of magic crystals is also much faster than usual......"

He estimated in his heart and said to the two knights of light, "It should last half a prayer hour." ”

"Half a prayer," the two Great Knights of Light looked at each other, both breathing a sigh of relief, "that's enough." With this half of the prayer, the demons will have to fill it with at least a thousand lives, and the battle on the city will be much easier in the future. ”

"Fortunately, the supply team came in time this time and replenished a large number of magic crystals," the old mage's expression also relaxed slightly, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, our mage group would not be able to hold out for so long." ”

"Fortunately," said the stout knight, "when the defensive circle collapses, we'll take care of the rest." As long as we repel the demons this time, it will be time for our reinforcements to arrive. When the time comes, we might be able to launch a counterattack and let these damn demons have a good taste!"

"Then it's all up to the generals," the old mage said, "You four knights of the Great Light are the ballast stones of the Monsoon Fortress......"

As he spoke, he set his gaze on the city walls.

On the city wall, the other two Great Light Knights are fighting fiercely with the demons at the moment. Their figures flickered on the light curtain of the guardian circle, like divine dragons. Wherever they appear, the direction of the archers and mages on the ground will match. Caused great damage to the attacking demons.

Where the two Great Light Knights passed, they saw the demons falling down one by one. Among them were three demon squad leaders and a squadron leader, all of whom were killed by them.

However, just as the old mage's words fell, suddenly, his eyes saw the mirror image of the farsightedness technique, and he was stunned suddenly.

After the demons attacked, they hadn't seen the farsightedness mirror image again. After a period of time, the farsightedness has begun to collapse, and the mirror image has become blurred.

But at this moment, the old mage saw that in the mirror image of the farsightedness that was still located behind the demon army, a demon team was approaching the fortress at an extremely fast speed.

How fast is it? What the old mage saw was just a fleeting phantom.

However, the fixing ability of farsightedness still captured the faces of these demons between the stones, fire, and light—they were eight demons who were as handsome as elves. They were athletic, with slender limbs, and they exuded a leopard-like fierce and dangerous aura all over their bodies.

And the most unique are their weapons, eyes and hair.

Their weapons look similar to human spears, but they have a crescent-like blade at the top. Their eyes, slender, flying, sharp. Silver-white flames danced in his pupils, like lightning flashing. And their hair is very long, and the hairstyle is the same, all in a long braid.

However, unlike human braids, their braids appear to be alive. Even if the wind is blowing in the gallop, the braids are free to move. Suddenly rolled up his neck, and suddenly swayed from side to side in a completely counterintuitive way, looking like a spirit snake.

When he saw this, the old mage's pupils had already contracted like the tip of a needle. Unspeakable shock and horror struck him at this moment, leaving him stiff and his hands and feet cold.

He knew that the weapons in the hands of these demons were called demon halberds. He also knew that their braids were not combed, but innate. From the day they are born, their hair naturally forms braids and grows longer as they grow in strength. The longest, the braid can even drag up to the heel.

And the demon halberd, the silver-white flames in the eyes, and the braids, are the hallmarks of the demon royal family!

The old mage didn't expect the demon royal family to appear here. You must know that since the invasion of the demons, there have been more than 100 large and small battles. But in either direction, the defenders did not report any contact with the Demon Imperial Clan. And as far back as three hundred years ago, the number of times the Demon Emperor Clan shot was only a handful.

They are very few in number, and most of the time they are hidden behind their vassal race. And once they appear on the battlefield, they often bring a fatal blow like thunder.

That's not the scariest part, though.

The terrifying thing was that the old mage clearly saw that the royal knight in the lead had his braids dragged to his waist, and the other seven demon knights had also braided his back.

The old mage's mouth was a little bitter.

If the history books you have read do not record the errors, then it means that you see a demon commander and seven demon generals.

Can history books go wrong?

The old mage had no time to think about these questions. In great fear, he just subconsciously turned his head and shouted at the head of the city in the direction of the demon race.

"Be careful!"

The old mage's voice was high-pitched and high-pitched. Because of extreme panic and anxiety, it has been somewhat deformed. However, in the fierce battlefield filled with various sounds, the voice still seemed a little weak.

Besides, it was too late for him to remind.

Almost at the same time as he spoke, the eight Demon Imperial Knights had already arrived in front of the fortress. At the same time, they soared into the air from the black lion that had sat down, and jumped into the air like meteors.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang. Seven demon generals shot at the same time, slamming the fortress guardian array.

I saw that the light curtain of the magic circle shook violently, and in an instant, a black hole emerged from the center of the attack of the seven demon generals. At first, it was just a small hole the size of a fist, but like a tablecloth corroded by strong acid, the hole expanded rapidly, and in an instant, it had expanded to the size of seven or eight meters in diameter.

Seeing that the situation was dire, the archers and mages at the head of the city shifted their attacks to this side. At the same time, the two Great Light Knights who were fighting with the demons also attacked from the left and the right. Trying to plug the gap.

But at this time, the leading demon commander made a move.

The defenders saw black clusters of light emerge from the space beside him, like stars in the night sky. Immediately, these small clusters of light moved, circling and flying around the demon commander. From time to time, the two collided together, and they stopped moving, but turned into a blazing black flame.

More and more light clusters collided, and more and more flames emerged. These flames were black at first, then yellow, red, white, and finally black.

And in the midst of this change of color, the surrounding space seems to be burned by this flame.

People looked at the past from different angles, and the dust, clouds, sun, distant mountains, jungles, and even the roaring rain of swords that were originally located next to the demon marshal, the dust and sand above or in the distance, all disappeared. It's like a picture, washed off the background by an invisible potion.

All that's left is the magic marshal and the black flames that keep fusing together.

By the end, people couldn't see it clearly. The black flame turned into a huge black space. And the figure of the demon handsome, in this black space, is faint, making it impossible to tell whether he is there or not.

Demon Domain!

Amid the terrified cries of the defenders, the Demon Marshal took a step forward.

No one can put into words what seems like an ordinary step. Everyone only felt that at this moment, they felt as if they saw a rainbow across the sky, as if they saw the sun on an afternoon, silently through the small gaps in the window, and fell on the mottled floor.

Then, it's all over.

......

The old mage is dead.

Among the strong men of the fortress, he was the last to die, his round eyes still bearing the last image he saw before he died.

He saw that the demon commander first pointed at the eyebrows of a great light knight who flew towards him on the left, and then, fitting into another great light knight on the right, he flew down, through the hole in the blue light curtain, and stepped heavily on the center of the running magic pattern circle like a falling meteorite.

Then, with the help of his strength, he rose into the air, and the man suddenly split into two in the air. One is his body, and the other is the same person as him in his black ** domain.

Two men, two knives, pierced the hearts of both the stout knight and the tall knight at the same time. Then the two merged into one, and pointed lightly at the old mage's eyebrows.

All of this happened in an instant.

When the old mage's mind froze, and he felt that the magic power in his body was fading like a tide, the head of the first Great Light Knight who was killed exploded, the body of the second Great Light Knight was shattered, and the dozens of magicians who presided over the formation in the magic pattern array rose into the air in the shock wave of that step, and the vests of the two Great Light Knight beside him had just been revealed by the sharp blade, and blood was splashed.

Darkness strikes.

The old mage knew that it was not the shadow of death. It was a myriad of scythe-wielding night slayers. They broke through the collapsed fortress defenses and overwhelmed the world.

A terrible scream rang out.

And in the eyes of the old mage, the last bit of light finally passed away.

He couldn't hear anything.
