"Very well, General Klaas, I have understood your determination, as long as the people in the city-state are united, no matter how strong the demon army is, it will not be easy to break the city-state. I will also contribute all my strength to the city-state and do my best to save everyone!" Lena's expression was serious, her eyes staring at the formation of the demon army deeply, she carefully observed, hoping to find the flaws in the demon army.
In the middle of the demon army, the Abyss Lord is wearing a blood-red heavy armor, and against the background of the morning sun, it is like the whole body is burning with flames, or the whole body is wrapped in blood! It looked towards the city wall of the main city of the city-state of faith, and the abyss lord with excellent eyesight saw a beautiful girl and a beautiful boy appear on the city wall, especially that young man, his eyes were firm, and his whole body exuded confidence and strong momentum, although he could not see the strength of the power, he could see at a glance that the girl was a person from another world, that is, the so-called messenger of the gods!
Lena and the Abyss Lord are both powerful, and the eyes of the two beings naturally collide together! Lena looked at the eyes of the Abyss Lord without fear, and the Abyss Lord also stared at Lina, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"Human, do you really think you can save this dying city-state?" said the Abyss Lord in a deep voice. The voice was not loud, and the demons around it couldn't hear it, but Lena could hear it clearly, and the powerful coercion led Lena to be a little uncomfortable.
"Demon, your intimidation has no effect on me. It seems that you only have these skills, otherwise you would not have been raided twice. "Lena is clearly provoking the Abyss Lord. She needs the demons to strike hastily so that she can have a chance to fight them off.
"Hahaha. Don't think that you are such a so-called messenger of the gods that you can be so rampant!I will order a siege now, and see how long you can last!"The Abyss Lord is indeed enraged, and the contempt from humans is unbearable for it!"The vanguard forces obey the order and attack the city!!" Although the Abyss Lord was enraged, he still ordered the demon maker who was the vanguard to attack the city first, and the real demon would become a spear that pierced the enemy's defense at a critical moment!
Nearly 70,000 people of demon-making demons immediately let out an earth-shattering roar after receiving the order of the supreme commander, and most of these pioneers wearing not very heavy armor were between three and four meters tall. They are physically strong, and most of them are armed with heavy weapons such as tomahawks. The face of the demon maker is very hideous, just looking at it makes people shudder, and the speed of the monster with some twisted and sharp teeth is also very fast, and it takes less than ten minutes to rush through most of the distance of a few kilometers!
However, when the demon forwards from all directions rushed halfway, some of the demons suddenly fell into the air and plunged headlong into the pits full of sharp spikes! This is the defensive trap that the city-state has set up a long time ago, and it is still very effective against careless demons!
After the demon paid nearly a thousand casualties. The speed of the demon's charge slowed down slightly, and as they became cautious, the damage that the trap could do was very small.
"General Klaas, what's the strongest ranged weapon in the city-state?" the demon's offensive slowed slightly. Lena immediately asked if there were any ranged weapons in the city-state, after all, she had never seen a weapon such as a bow or crossbow in the city-state.
"Yes, the strongest long-range weapon in the city-state is the trebuchet. There are also countless powerful crossbows, which are preserved in normal times. It will not be equipped until the critical moment, after all, the crossbow arrows required by the strong crossbow are very resource-intensive. It's not easy to make. The head of the Knights, General Klaas pointed to the strong crossbows and a pot of crossbow arrows that the knights were carrying behind their backs, as well as the large trebuchet that had just been removed from the walls of the city-state, and said to Lina beside him.
"Very well, order all knights and warriors to prepare for a stone-throwing and crossbow attack on the demons, but wait for my orders before you can act. "Lena has become a commanding tone to General Claes, and she is now the real commander.
"All the soldiers obey the order, wait for the signal before shooting!" General Klaas gave the order, and all the soldiers of the city-state responded with a bang, and everyone maintained a full fighting spirit.
The vanguard of the demon army is getting closer and closer, and it is already gradually coming into range of catapults, but it is still a short distance from the maximum range. "Immediately order the trebuchet to fire at the maximum range!" Lena suddenly gave such an order!
Although General Klaas did not understand the reason for this, he immediately ordered the soldiers operating nearly a hundred trebuchets to fire boulders and lit canisters of fire oil. At one time, nearly a hundred trebuchets roared and threw huge stones and canisters of fire oil farthest!
The demon army couldn't stop charging at a distance, even if they saw the boulders and canisters of fire oil falling from the sky, because once they stopped, the demons behind them would rush up!
The roar kept coming, and many demons were smashed into meatloaf before they could even scream, but the demons who were ignited by the fire oil mixed with holy water were not so lucky, because these demons could not bear the pain of burning and fled in all directions, and in this case, many demons were ignited by their own companions! The fire spread like a plague, disturbing the formation of the demon army. But before the demons in front were burned to death, the demons in the back rushed through their bodies, and more demons were trampled to death by their companions when they lost their combat effectiveness!
And by the time the demon moved further, the second round of ranged strikes had already arrived. This time, the projectiles were all large canisters of fire oil, which had a wider splash area and the flames could burn for longer. Under this round of blows, the formation of the demon army was completely chaotic, and the city-state was shrouded in flames everywhere, hindering the attack of the demon army.
After nearly three hours of intense fighting, the soldiers' nerves suddenly relaxed, and everyone felt quite tired, although they still had lingering fears about the demons, but the demon army was repulsed before they could get close to the city-state.
In this offensive and defensive battle, the demons lost nearly 10,000 and returned in vain, and some demons were burned by the Holy Flame, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. In short, the demon's reckless attack had learned its due. And since this attack didn't even touch the city walls, the demon's elites had to stare dryly. Under such circumstances, the Abyss Lord was furious and ordered the entire army to concentrate in front of the city-state of Faith, and kept moving forward, stopping at a kilometer before the trebuchet's maximum range. The demon army is already less than 1.5 kilometers away from the city-state, and charging at this distance, the demon army can rush to the city-state's walls in less than five minutes!
It was already afternoon, and the warriors of the city-state had regained their strength and spirit, and everyone was waiting for the demon army to attack again. However, for a whole afternoon, the demon army did not move, and it was not known for what purpose.
