284 Ice Demon appears

With the return of the War Sheep Sentinel Cavalry, the entire Storm Castle close to the Monster Valley has completed the evacuation, and the gates of the Storm Castle have been slowly closed.

The entry of the war sheep sentry also caused a burst of cheers from the soldiers on the city wall, after all, the sentry horses are always warriors fighting in the most dangerous areas, and they deserve everyone's cheers and respect.

Duke in the castle also got the casualty data of the first regiment of the storm army at this time, the first regiment of the storm army of 1,500 people, and the casualties plus the missing characters were as high as thousands.

In the face of this casualty of up to thousands of people, Duke's heart sank, he had seen the heavy casualties of the Storm Army from the battlefield situation before. But how to say that this battle was still won after all, so Duke's estimate is about the limit of casualties around the average.

Unexpectedly, the results were as high as two-thirds, because at that time on the battlefield, many wounded soldiers were in the situation and environment of the battlefield, and the surge of adrenaline made them burst out of some of the potential of the human body, so they were still fighting tenaciously.

Once the fighting is over, these soldiers will not be able to support themselves, and not every soldier has the status and treatment of Cassel and can receive first aid with blood transfusions. Most soldiers may be able to hold out after losing blood, but as their wounds continue to hurt, they can't hold it up when they return to Stormfort.

To be honest, this kind of heavy casualty is a heavy blow to the current Storm Castle, even if the Ice Demon does not attack today, and the Storm Castle wants to replenish a thousand elite soldiers, it doesn't know when it will be able to train it.

The remaining five hundred soldiers were also in a state of extreme exhaustion after the war, but they were not qualified to rest. Faced with the tremendous pressure of the Ice Devil's attack, they chose to continue fighting and strengthen the defense of Storm Castle.

In addition to the Storm Army's casualties of up to 1,000, the casualties of 1,000 dwarven hoplites are probably average. To be honest, the physical fitness of the dwarven warriors is really extremely strong, and the casualty ratio is still lower than that of human warriors in the face of fish-man warriors who are almost twice as tall as them.

What's more, when this group of dwarven warriors was under the greatest pressure, there were still some warriors who chose to attack, otherwise it is estimated that there would not have been such a large number of casualties. But even so, this is a difficult thing to accept for a dwarven tribe that has just reached 10,000 people.

Compared with the unacceptability of the dwarven warriors, the loss of five hundred war sheep cavalry, the iron hammer is even more painful. Because of this battle, the cavalry of Storm Castle played the role of deciding the outcome of the battle, using their own forcible impact to break the offensive rhythm of the Sea Clan.

However, the number of cavalry is still too small to form that absolute impact force, on the contrary, the fish-man warriors have rough skin and thick flesh, but the impact speed of the war sheep cavalry hinders, making them fall into a kind of melee.

So this time, the 500-man war sheep cavalry unit lost about 200 war sheep. In addition, more than half of the last 200 human cavalry of Storm Castle were also killed and wounded, so it can be said that after this battle, the entire cavalry force of Storm Castle was considered to be destroyed, and it was difficult to organize a cavalry charge of scale.

Duke exhaled heavily, then placed the casualty report in his hand on the table. Many times when Duke thinks he is strong, reality will always give Duke a fatal blow, just like the battle of the Sea Clan, he almost beat his own family, but there are countless powerful opponents in this world, how will he face it in the future.

Thinking of all kinds of difficulties in the future, Duke has a trace of confusion in his heart, the four words of changing the world are easy to say, but there are a few that can really be done throughout the ages, and Duke instantly feels that he has no confidence.

Just when Duke felt confused, the herald outside the door ran in at this time and said to Duke: "Lord Lord, a large number of ice demons have appeared outside the castle, it seems that they are preparing to attack!"

Hearing the herald's words, Duke woke up from his confusion about the future, he subconsciously clenched his fists, and said in a tone as calm as possible: "I know, the soldiers of the Herald Storm Army are ready for battle. ”

"Yes, my lord. With that, the herald exited the chamber.

Watching the herald walk out, Duke stood up and put on his family heirloom lion helmet armor. No matter how uncertain he was about the future, no matter if Stormcastle was too weak to change the world, but now that Stormcastle had hundreds of thousands of lives on his shoulders, Duke knew he had to show confidence in victory.

If even the Lord is desperate, who else in Stormcastle can carry this responsibility?

Once everything was dressed, Duke walked out of the conference room and headed towards the city walls. Guard Officer Abiel led a dozen storm guards and followed Duke's body.

Just before, Abil had given the order to die, and all the storm guards would be the strongest shields for the lord, and unless they died in battle, they must ensure the lord's safety.

Due to the injuries of Alan and Cassel, the actual military commander of Storm Fort today became the second commander of the Storm Army, Fedor, which was also his first position as the military commander of the Storm Army. Seeing Duke coming, Fedor immediately came to Duke's side and explained to him the current situation on the battlefield.

"Lord Lord, the vanguard of the Ice Demon has been assembled just now, and the follow-up troops should be about to appear, but there is no sign of the hellish creature at the moment. ”

Hearing Fedor's introduction, Duke looked in the direction of the Monster Valley, and the ice demons with gray skin and blue pupils were now standing in a neat formation in front of Storm Castle. IT'S JUST THAT UNLIKE THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE GROUP OF ICE DEMONS, AND LUO SHOWED HIS ARMS TO SHOW HIS MUSCLES, THIS TIME THE ICE DEMONS IN FRONT OF STORM CASTLE WERE WEARING A FULLY WRAPPED ARMOR MADE OF ICE CRYSTALS. Even Duke could see through the telescope that the ice crystal armor on their bodies was emitting a white chill.

The nights of late summer and early autumn were still a little muggy, but as the cold air approached Storm Castle, Duke could clearly feel that the temperature in the surrounding space was a few degrees lower.

The number of ice demons in front of him was about the same as the number of ice demons that Duke had seen in the first ice demon attack, that is, the appearance of more than a thousand people.

But you must know that at the beginning, this was the total strength of the Ice Demon, and there were only about a hundred people who really attacked tentatively, but now the vanguard has this number, how many terrifying existences are still hidden in the huge black shadow of the Monster Valley?
