Two thousand Ice Demons charged towards Storm Castle at a rapid pace, which was almost the number that could break through Storm Castle. But for some reason, this time Duke was far from the fear and cringe of facing the hundreds of ice demons for the first time. Maybe this time, there is a storm army by his side that he has cultivated with all his heart!

"We are the strongest shield of the Storm Castle, the sharpest sword in the hands of the Lord Lord, and the Storm Army will win!"

At this time, Alan shouted a word of encouragement from the city wall, cheering up all the warriors, after all, in the face of the largest number of ice demon tentative attacks in history, this kind of morale-boosting words are also necessary.

"The Storm Army will win!"

The warriors on the city wall also roared desperately in response to Allen, and at the same time, the storm army took the squad platoon as a squad, and the heavy shield infantry began to push towards the front of the city wall to guard against the ice demon's ice spear attack!

As the Ice Demons charged closer and closer, just like the Ice Demon Generals before them, ice spears made of cold ice condensed in the hands of these Ice Demons and began to shoot towards the walls of Storm Castle. It's just that their range is far less exaggerated than that of the Ice Demon General, and they basically ran within three hundred meters of Storm Castle before making the projection move.

"Raise your shield!"

As the second regiment of the Storm Army, which is the main defense force on the city wall today, Fei Duo immediately issued a defensive order when he saw this scene. Because of the offensive method of ice spear throwing, the city wall alone cannot be completely defended, and in the defense of Storm Castle in previous years, because of the ice demon's first round of ice spear throwing attack, there will be a lot of casualties.

But this situation could not have happened in Duke's hands, because Storm Castle would no longer have a situation where even heavy shields could not be equipped. Maybe Storm Castle is not ranked on the mainland in other aspects, and it doesn't have much financial resources. But in terms of metal smelting and steel production, Duke can say without exaggeration that it has stood at the forefront of this world, so this kind of senseless casualties, Duke will absolutely prohibit it!

With Fedor's order, the shield-wielding soldiers began to set up shields directly on the city wall, and everyone, including Duke, hid under these shields, and as the ice spear pierced the shield and made a "thump" sound, there were basically no casualties on the city wall except for a few unlucky eggs who were scratched by the ice spear through the gap.

Duke is very satisfied with this situation of close to zero casualties, which is the performance of an elite army.

However, there was not much time for rejoicing and complimenting, because those ice demons had already come to a hundred meters of the city wall, and with the speed of the ice demons, this distance might only take five seconds to rush over. , and at this time, a scene that surprised Duke appeared,

I saw that the musket team trained by Copper Whisker exposed the barrel of the gun from the gap in the shield at this time, and roared angrily with Copper Whisker: "Shoot!"

The sound of a huge explosion of gunpowder sounded, and then the air was covered by the smoke of black powder. Then I saw the ice demon who rushed to the front, and instantly fell down in a row, and the ice armor on his body was basically shattered.

Faced with such a situation, Duke didn't know how to describe his mood, this is the real taste of gunsmoke, and it is also the power of hot weapons!

Although the early musket has many inferiorities compared with bows and arrows, there is one thing that he crushes bows and arrows, that is, within the effective shooting range, the power is not comparable to bows and arrows at all, and even as long as you are not afraid of explosive gunpowder, it is no exaggeration to blast people into a hornet's nest with one shot.

Compared with Duke's surprise and surprise, the Ice Demon's side was even more shocked, and even because of the sudden loud noise and the fall of a row of fighters, the Ice Demon's attack rhythm was instantly slowed down. Because in the history of the Ice Demon, this situation has never occurred, whether it is a human bow and arrow shooting, or even a more powerful crossbow and trebuchet, can not cause so much damage to the Ice Demon, how is this done, is it a new type of magic?

You must know that just now, there were at least dozens of Ice Demons who fell, if it was changed to the previous Winter Ice Demon attack, such a large casualty would have been able to force the Ice Demon to repel a tentative attack, but now it is just the beginning that there are such large casualties, which is also unacceptable for the Ice Demon.

"Brass beard, well done!"

Duke couldn't help but compliment, and in the face of Duke's compliment, the copper whiskers blew away the gunsmoke on the gun's chamber, and replied in a deep tone: "Lord Lord, this is my favorite taste, let the Ice Demon son of bitches ask what the smell of gunsmoke is!"

After saying this, Copperbeard shouted to the musketeer beside him, "Lads, reload, don't be slow like a girl!"

Hearing Copperbeard's urging, the two-hundred-man musket squad also woke up from the joy of defeating the ice demon and began to hurriedly reload the muskets.

At this time, the novice side began to show, compared to the orderliness of the elite musketeers of the Napoleonic era, except for a few veterans who had been dwarven musketeers before, everyone else had various small mistakes in reloading, which greatly delayed the loading errors.

According to the average elite musketeer, if they reload a round in ten to twenty seconds, this group of musketeers may not be able to fire the next shot even for half a minute. But with the speed of the Ice Demon, it would definitely not take thirty seconds to reach a distance of one hundred meters.

So these musketeers began to quickly retreat and reload, and the shield array erected on the city wall was also dispersed at this moment, and the soldiers behind them were holding the rolling logs and large rocks solemnly, as long as the ice demons began to prepare to climb the city wall, then these were their best "welcome gifts"!

As the Ice Demon arrives under the city walls, unlike the scene of ice picks being frozen directly on top of the city walls in winter, it is very difficult to freeze the temperature of the city walls in summer, and it takes a lot of magical power. Although the Ice Devil is a magical creature, they are actually more inclined to swordsmen, and they are only auxiliary means of magical knowledge, so it is impossible to condense an ice and snow world in the summer temperature, which is why the Ice Devil's attack is chosen in winter, because it is convenient for them to climb the city wall.

But at this moment, the ice demons were not completely helpless, I saw a strange blue light coming out of some of the ice demons, and then a dark blue ice spear completely different from the normal white ice spear before condensed in their hands, and then they projected these ice spears towards the city wall with force, and instantly saw these dark blue ice spears piercing into the city wall, forming a climbing point that could be relayed!
