Chapter 23: The Battle of Storm's End

Now Storm's Rest has become a veritable meat grinder.

From the time Gaylord led the cavalry out of the city to dusk, in just two magic hours, the northern coalition army had lost tens of thousands of people, and many people died, which made the soldiers defending the city a little numb and indifferent.

The individual combat ability on the monster side is obviously stronger, and even the weakest monkey scorpion has the strength of more than the second order, on the contrary, the vast majority of the human army is still in the category of ordinary people, and naturally there are heavy casualties after fighting. Moreover, these monsters do not need to rely on equipment at all to attack the city, they can directly climb the city wall and emerge from all kinds of unexpected places.

However, the coalition army also has an advantage, the people concentrated in the Wind's Rest Fort are basically elites, and even the militia has been trained for many years, not to mention the guards and private soldiers of large and small families more than 7,000 people, and those in the south who make dog-legged guards for the noble young master and the vase lady, the guards of the major families in the north are all selected soldiers from the army, these people have undergone systematic military training, and compared with those monsters who follow their instincts to fight separately, their biggest advantage is that they know how to cooperate with their comrades on the battlefield and support each other.

In addition, the walls of the Storm's Breath Fort are also thick and strong enough, Ang Sai put on the armor this time, went to the front line to command the battle, and even risked his life in times of crisis, as a member of the Bretton family, his swordsmanship is quite good, although it cannot be compared with the famous Crimson Sword, but he also has a sixth-order skill, but unlike Karoff, Angsai's sword moves are ruthless, like a poisonous snake, entrenched and lurking, peeking at the prey in the dark, once the other party relaxes, he will show his fangs.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been twenty or thirty monsters that have died at his hands, but for the entire battle, this number is a drop in the bucket.

Angsai cut off the head of a sheep's head crocodile and wiped the blood from his face, and he felt tired from the battle, not only physically, but also mentally. In the battle of White Crow City a few days ago, he thought that he had a partial understanding of the strength of these monsters, but this time the intensity of the battle in Storm's Breath Castle was far greater than that of White Crow City, and he lost nearly 10,000 people in just three magic hours, which was even more difficult than Angsai expected.

His gaze looked beyond the slaughtering crowd into the distance, and Angsai knew that all of this was inseparable from the two Abyss Lords who were overseeing the battle nearby.

For now, Storm's Breath Castle can barely hold on, because the losses of those monsters under the almost crazy offensive are also heavy, but Angsai knows that the two Abyss Lords can't just come to watch the soy sauce, the reason why none of them moved should be that they are afraid of some masters on the side of the coalition army, but now that such a long time has passed, they are estimated to have figured out the reality of the defenders, and they will do it soon.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, I saw an Abyss Lord who had been "watching the excitement" take a step and move towards the side of Wind's Breath Castle.

The Abyss Lord was huge, only slightly smaller than a dragon, and looked like a mountain of barbed flesh from the outside, with huge blood vessels on the surface of his skin, which were so ugly that the earth seemed to tremble as he moved.

At this moment, Angsai's heart was no longer anxious, and his expression calmed down, he had done everything he could, but Rob did not deal with those high-level monsters as promised. Next, things will go in the direction he least wants to see.

Angsai knew in his heart that the Breton family and the northern frontier were going to be finished.

He looked around, and saw a mountain of corpses and tired faces, and strangely he found that he did not regret standing here at this moment, although he lost everything, but compared to waiting for death in the castle, perhaps the current way of death is more suitable for a lord of the north.

Just when Ang Sai was slightly distracted, he suddenly heard a cheer behind him, and the city wall, which had been lifeless due to the terrible casualties, was injected with life, and the eyes of the soldiers once again burst into a light of hope.

A large shadow cast down from the sky, enveloping Angsai, who looked up to see the steel behemoth cruising above Storm's End.

The pitch-black barrel, the hideous shape, and the magic patterns lit up all around, at this moment, a name appeared in everyone's hearts, symbolizing the war machine at the pinnacle of the magic civilization-floating battery.

Angsai was stunned, could it be that the Magicians Association made a move?

However, apart from the lone floating artillery tower above his head, there were no other legal professionals nearby.

The Abyss Lord four miles away seemed to sense a hint of danger and took the initiative to stop, Ang Sai could feel that the thing seemed to hesitate, but it didn't stay in place for long, and soon the other Abyss Lord also began to move, moving closer to this side.

After half a magic hour, the two Abyss Lords stood together again, and then continued towards Storm's End.

They walked unfast, cautiously, all the while staring at the floating fortress that had suddenly appeared, and about two miles from the wall, the runes on the barrel of the cannon suddenly lit up, and then they saw a magic cannonball blast towards the body of one of the Abyss Lords.

However, at the critical moment, the latter's huge body became unprecedentedly flexible, and he was able to dodge this cannonball in a flash. However, the other monsters beside it were not so lucky, the cannonball fell into a group of sphinxes, these fifth-order monsters did not have any resistance, the moment they landed, the burst magic on the cannonball was touched, and immediately six sphinxes were engulfed in flames, in addition to the aftermath of the explosion, the three scavengers who were close also flew out.

However, the two Abyss Lords became emboldened again after finding that they were safe and sound, probably thinking that the big thing on their heads was not a big deal, and it was not as terrifying as it seemed on the outside, so instead of stopping, they gradually increased their pace.

There was another flicker of runes, but this time the performance of the magic cannon was even more unbearable, and it even shot a dud, and the group of monsters seemed to be encouraged, and the fear brought by the death of the Sphinx dissipated a lot, and followed the steps of the two Abyss Lords towards Wind's End, and for a moment there were monsters everywhere in sight.

On the other hand, the defenders on the city wall were silent, but no one expected that after this, there was a sudden light on the floating battery, this time the runes on the ten cannon barrels in a row lit up, and those cannon barrels all turned to an abyss lord at the same time, locking on to the target, and the magic cannonballs rained down.

The Abyss Lord sensed the danger, but this time the number of cannonballs was too large for it to completely dodge, and what was even worse was that it was now surrounded by other monsters, which looked quite majestic, but also squeezed its dodge space, and finally six out of ten magic cannonballs fell on it.

The huge explosion turned the land where it was standing into a deep pit, and all the monsters that were caught up in the vicinity were blown to pieces, but the abyss lord was worthy of being a ninth-order monster, its defensive ability was amazing, and it was not completely killed by the six cannons in the front, although most of the body was gone, but the remaining piece of flesh was still wriggling on the ground, and the wound was slowly healing.

At the same time, the huge movement here finally alarmed the other four Abyss Lords.
