Chapter 45: Push a Wave
On the front line of the demon army's rapid approach.
As the Commander of Light commanded in an orderly manner, the magical elements were condensed in large numbers in the deep trench carved out at the front.
For a while, a spectacular scene happened:
In the trenches of this continuous front, towering yellow-brown earthen walls were pulled up one after another.
I saw that the legion of construction mages in the rear had an orderly division of labor, and the lower-ranking construction mages (Note 1) chanted a spell and devoted all their energy to a simple earthen wall technique to maximize the height and quality of the retaining wall.
And after they had just piled up the earthen wall out of a deep trench, the experienced and energetic Great Construction Mage quickly reinforced and expanded the unstable wall. So yellow light spread upwards from the base of the wall. Reinforcement and expansion, so that the structure of the earthen wall is more stable.
And where the yellow line passes, you can clearly see that the yellow-brown earthen wall has turned dark gray. But it wasn't over yet, and below the final gray retaining wall, the senior construction mages collectively released a white ray of light to enchant the retaining wall for the final touch.
The earthen wall rose, and the yellow and white lines swept quickly in turn. The yellow-brown rudimentary earthen wall turned into a giant fortification that shone with metallic light and high-grade reinforcement and high-grade armor runes circulating on the surface.
Growing from left to right, this huge wall is like a mountain, stretching in front of the army of light.
And when the 100-meter-high fortifications were completed, the Elemental Mage Legion, which had been prepared for a long time, flew out of the crowd with hundreds of high-level shield battles (Note 2) and reached the ten-meter-wide platform above the giant wall, where they were ready to attack.
The huge power of various elements condensed in the sky above the giant wall in an instant.
Due to the elemental mages who summon them, the minimum is four stars. The elemental condensation released by each mage can summon an elemental pool with a diameter of at least a few tens of meters.
One by one, these dense pools of various elements of different sizes touched and merged in pairs above. In a short time, a sea of colorful elements shrouded the entire giant wall.
"How magnificent!" Juliet's eyes were misty, and she was so immersed in these man-made miracles that obscured the dawn that she could not return to her senses for a long time.
"Go for it! Romeo encouraged her, looked at the giant wall and the elemental ocean with admiration, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we can only defend in the rear, I really want to go to the front line to see~"
Hearing this, the shield warrior captain lowered his shield and struck him: "And then you will die! β
"What if? haha. β
......
The small talk quickly ended, and the demon army crossed the bombardment zone of the mage legion and began to storm the giant wall.
They are divided into two groups, flying demons and flying demons, flying directly to the mage legion above the wall, and the land demons that are too large or the rest of the land are attacking the wall with all their might.
The flying demon did not think about flying higher to bypass the giant wall. However, the ocean of elements summoned by the mage legion is not only to provide them with a reserve of elemental power, but also to protect the sky.
No matter how the demons fly, they can't get around it, and once they enter, they will immediately be eroded into pieces on the spot by the chaotic elemental power. Therefore, the demons have only one way to 'fight hard'.
But the Commander told the priest to prepare as soon as they got closer. When the battle between the two on the giant wall began, the high-level shield battle that protected the mage immediately began to shine with all kinds of light:
There is a white light that increases the strength of armor, a blessing of equipment, a blue light with healing effect, a healing prayer, a red light that restores physical strength, a physical strengthening technique, and a high priest, a release of advanced life connections, and so on.
With the blessing of several special effect buff magic techniques, the hundreds of high-level shield battles on the giant wall have become a stronger embankment, which has forced the offensive of the demon army to slow down.
But as time passed, the expressions of the team became more and more solemn, because the impact of the demon was not suppressed, not to mention, it became more and more intense. However, human physical strength and energy cannot compete with demons after all.
Spells shine, shields roar, and hundreds of demons die almost every second above the massive walls of the impact, but their deaths only make the remaining demons even more crazy. Because what dies will be the cornerstone of their strength. And even if there are hundreds or thousands of deaths, as long as the demon captures the giant wall, the mighty harvest link will arrive.
Even if it is a five-hundred-to-one exchange, it will be a big profit for the Abyss Demon! Not to mention that the chips on both sides have not been played.
"Every time I am on the battlefield, I have to sigh at the prosperity of the human race, which is not unreasonable. But I still like it even more, the desperation that comes when they are torn apart by the demons as they defend with all their might!"
The magnetic male voice began to express his feelings again, and in the black and oppressive demon sea outside the giant wall, there were island-like demons moving forward at this time. These behemoths range from rock demons that resemble a rocky mountain to giant abyssal turtles that have survived for a long time, and even several huge fire demons appear in the mage vision of the mages of the giant wall (Note 3).
"The light is above, how can a fire demon of this level come out in groups?" As a mage, it is impossible for his knowledge to be low. And to be the best of them, they not only know that this kind of demon can pose a devastating threat to the giant wall, but also know the conditions under which they appear.
After all, demons are selfish.
Especially this kind of fire demon above the big demon, the price of one appearance is something that even the demon lord will suffer. And generally they will not be sent at all until the final word is made.
So......
Some elemental mages, you look at me, I look at you, and little thoughts begin to swim.
"Do you know?The sturdy has cracked, little devil~" The magnetic male voice suddenly said something inexplicable, leaving Diggie at a loss.
"Didn't you just fight for a while?"
"Huh. Romeo laughed but didn't say a word.
......
In a chapel on the edge of the town of Whitelight.
The light shone brightly, and the demons that guarded the portal were crushed by the Sun Knights and gradually wiped out.
When he was about to destroy the portal, a person from the Temple of Light in a white robe hurriedly broke in: "Hurry up! Where is the Grand Knight of Sovis? There is urgent information here!!"
"Gando, you continue to destroy the portal! I'll take a look. The eldest of the Grand Knight of Sovis walked up to the man and saluted, without waiting for a greeting. The clergyman who saw him, Lian Zhu said:
"Rumors have come out of nowhere in the town that the front line has been lost, and there are also members of the Knights of the Sun confirming it. Now the people of the town are in chaos, and they are all gathering towards the solidified portal in the center of the town, trying to get out of here. β
"Wouldn't it be okay to let the people of the temple check it out and let them go directly?" said Suvis, who was bent on going to the front line to support.
But he was too naΓ―ve to think about it, the clergyman couldn't take a breath, and continued: "But that portal, although the Temple of Light has sent additional knights to garrison it, the portal can only send a hundred people at a time! The families of the soldiers in the town, the caravans that come and go, and all kinds of logistics personnel, not counting the people of our Temple of Light, there are thousands of people in total!"
"Isn't there an airship in town, and all kinds of flying tools?" said Suvis's eyes, as if looking at an idiot.
The clergy were all about to cry urgently: "The key is that the mooring place has been burned by the cultists!"
He hurriedly explained: "I did it when a demon suddenly appeared! The key is that the demon is too strong, and the temple has transferred some manpower. So by the time we got the news and arrived, it was too late!"
The situation was urgent, and he hurriedly said: "I suspect that the appearance of that demon, as well as the setting fire to the flying ship, and a series of other things, are just to bring the town together and then ....."
"Evil Ritual!"
After Suvis finished speaking for him, he quickly turned to the knights who had destroyed the portal, and gave an order: "My people are out of line! Come with me to the center of the town to maintain order, and if you encounter any suspicious people, you will be executed directly!"
"Yes!"
The members of his squad followed the clergy in a hurry.
Then he stopped Louie's team, which was about to follow, and ordered Louie, who was in charge, "Louie, don't go." First go to the town to search to see if there are any suspicious people left, and kill them directly if they encounter them. β
Afraid of patting him on the shoulder, Suvis said earnestly: "It is enough for us in the center of the town, this task is quite important!"
"Yes, Grand Knight of Sovis!" Captain Louis, who had long hair and a scarface, immediately agreed with a change of heart, and led his team to leave.
White Light Town, on the white streets.
Captain Louis divided into groups as usual: "Hade, you and William and Don Guy search to the left with this street as the axis. Isrie, along with Medder and Robin, went to search on the right side. I'll go to the next place with Perari. β
"Yes!"
The eight-person team dispersed, and although Captain Louie's expression was flat, his heart was quite excited:
"Thank you so much for the demon that suddenly appeared, and let Whitelight Town's plan start early. Originally, it was not easy to convince Lord Ying Trisi to send the Fire Demon to cause tension. I didn't expect that the town's operation could be so comfortable without waiting for the front line to report the battle situation. β
The demon?
Louis thought thoughtfully, for he knew that his subordinates could not have the ability to summon such a powerful demon.
"Forget it, anyway, there are too many unfathomable beings in the abyss, maybe it was an accident?" he comforted himself, looking at Perari to the side with a kind smile. With the hilt of his sword at his waist, he turned and walked to a room and said to him, "Pella, go and have a look at the room opposite." β
Oh.
Perari obeyed, but as soon as he turned around, his chest hurt. He looked at the blade of the sword sticking out of his chest in disbelief, opened his mouth to say something, but with the twist of Louis's blade, he fell to the ground completely.
"I've been with you for so long, and to be honest, I'm very sad, but it's good to be freed sooner, Perari. Louis muttered to himself, dragging his body into a room.
After the noisy giant wall was released, Romeo in the crowd looked nervous, and said to Diggie with a smile in his heart: "You know? β
