298 Annihilation?
In addition to this, Duke also found that the power of the fire brought by the fire oil was far less effective for ghouls than the previous Holy Light Arrival. Although they were all flames, one was real, and the other was a magical manifestation of fire, and the hellish creature ghoul was visibly more afraid of the Light.
So you can see that these ghouls, even though they are covered in flames, still rush towards the walls of Storm Castle without fear. And the way they climbed was even more exaggerated than the previous ice demons, the sharp claws on their fingers could directly insert into the brick cracks on the city wall, and they climbed up with their hands very quickly.
This scene surprised Duke, if this world is full of enemies like ghouls, then what is the meaning of the existence of the city wall? I didn't expect that the city wall, which was eliminated by firearms and heavy artillery in later generations, might be ended by these strange creatures in this world in advance.
"Storm Army, fight to the death!"
Alan watched as the ice demon and the ghoul were about to climb the wall again, and once again gave his command. And once Alan used the order to fight to the death, because he also saw that this time it may be a critical moment in Storm Castle, and only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of life.
It's just that along with the ghouls and ice demons, there is also that kind of weird black fog. These black fogs began to envelop the humans and dwarven soldiers on the storm castle, and the humans who were almost contaminated with these black fogs instantly fell from their bodies as if their skin was corroded, and then blood flowed out of their mouths, and after a few painful howls, they fell to the ground and died in an instant!
What the hell is going on!, Duke puffed out his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief. Although the magic power of Storm Castle was not strong before, with the existence of Gandalf and Hera, they basically did not suffer any losses in the field of magic. As a result, I didn't expect that with the successive battles, when the magic of Storm Castle was powerless, it began to suffer from the enemy's magical attack.
"Lord, retreat!"
At this time, the guard officer Abil could no longer care about Duke's previous orders, so he directly grabbed Duke and dragged him down to the position behind him, trying to take him away from these black fogs.
In the face of Abiel's dragging, Duke grabbed the city wall with one hand, and even because of the exertion, there was a scene of bruises on his hands. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't accept the result, knowing that this was an elite army that he had worked so hard to build, and if it was defeated by a simple dark magic, it would all be in vain.
This is not the most important thing, it means that Duke's exploration of technology will be a complete failure in the face of magic, and he will never find a second Storm Keep territory that can allow him to start the beginning of the industrial revolution so unscrupulously, and explore the future of technology.
Just when Duke felt desperate, he felt a white light behind him, and this light was so dazzling in the darkness before dawn. When Duke looked behind him, he found that Gandalf had stood in the front row for some time, and what he was holding in his hand was the Pearl of the Ocean that the Wave Tribe had given to Stormcastle in the first place!
With the irradiation of the white light, the black fog that had shrouded the storm castle before was dispelled in an instant, and the previous storm army soldiers who were eroded by the black fog, except for those who had fallen to the ground and died, the injuries on their bodies also began to improve instantly, and it can be seen that this white light magic has a good expulsion and healing effect on dark spells.
But when these white lights shine on the ice demons, the effect is completely different, the ice demons and ghouls on the city wall, almost as soon as they come into contact with the white light, their bodies begin to annihilate, and there is no way to shout out the most basic howls.
Even Duke saw a white light, which directly hit the necromancer group in the distance, this white light not only broke the black fog barrier in front of them, but even some necromancers in the front row were instantly wiped out.
Faced with this situation, some of the remaining necromancers quickly dodged in the direction of either side, hoping to avoid the white light. At the same time, there was a slightly smaller beam of light, aimed at the Ice Demon General who had been riding on the war horse.
However, the Ice Demon General did not choose to dodge or escape like the necromancer, he just looked at Gandalf with a grim face, and a blue shield began to appear in front of him, just blocking the attack of the white light. However, it can be seen from the continuous retreat of the mount under him that he is also very difficult to resist this white light.
"Anubir, if you don't retreat, I swear in the name of the Grand Magus that even if I fall again today, I will destroy your Ice Demon Clan!"
Gandalf's incomparably thick voice pierced through the night sky and began to shout directly at the Ice Demon General in the distance. To be honest, Duke has always felt that this old guy has a sense of gloom, although he has the same name as Gandalf in the "Lord of the Rings" movies he has seen before, but other people's Gandalf has always been a symbol of justice, and the appearance of that white robe has a righteous appearance. It's like this black-robed Gandalf, but it doesn't look like a good thing just from the outside.
Of course, Duke also knows that Gandalf is not actually a bad person, but his temperament and image are really related to righteousness. But now this scene has completely changed Duke's image of Gandalf, this is the messenger of justice who has appeared and saved the entire Storm Castle!
It was also from this time that Duke learned that the Ice Demon General in the distance had a name, and it was called Anubir.
Anubir listened to Gandalf's nervous words, the expression on his face was very exciting, anger, fear, unwillingness, shame and other emotions were mixed together, he didn't expect that Gandalf actually had the Sea Clan's Quality Pearl of the Sea in his hand, as long as he had this thing, with the strength of Gandalf's Great Magister, he would be able to release the terrifying spell of the forbidden spell alone.
Once the forbidden spell appears, not to mention the entire monster valley, at least the group of ice demons and ghouls in front of Storm Castle will completely disappear under the majesty of the forbidden spell. You must know that the five thousand ice demons here today occupy most of the elite in the entire Monster Valley, and the birth of the Ice Devil is so difficult, if the whole army is really wiped out here, it is basically destined that the Ice Demon clan in the Monster Valley will be difficult to do anything.
So Anubir didn't dare to gamble with the fate of the whole clan, and there weren't many decisions he could make.
