Chapter 252: The Hardest Battle
"Deathβ"
With a monstrous roar, a naked-bodied fire giant with a giant axe in his hand rushed up to a city wall on the mountainside of the Dawn Holy See, his body was rolling with surging fighting energy, obviously a strong man who had reached the legendary strength, coupled with his natural strength, even a strong person in the human race who was in a small realm was not necessarily his opponent.
But fortunately, he is only a fire giant, not a colored dragon or other race with a higher starting point, otherwise I am afraid that only the powerhouses of the peak of the legend can defeat him.
"The ordinary warrior stepped back, the tower shield warrior stepped forward, and the heavy crossbow was fired! The chain magic lock activated, and the magic guide cannon was charged and aimed-"
After a few years of war, mankind has already learned how to face the attack of such a strong man, if it is a master at the peak of the legend, naturally there is no way, but the strong under it is not impossible to fight with numbers and means.
As soon as the fire giant stepped on the city, the ordinary human warriors and archers immediately scattered and retreated, and a team of heavily armored warriors with large shields immediately ran next to them to block the enemy's path, and at the same time, the ballistas in several pillboxes at the head of the city turned around and shot at the giant at the same time, not seeking a hit, as long as the opponent's movement was blocked, and after the magic cannon was fired, the other party had no other choice but to be injured and retreat.
At least empirically.
It's a pity that there was a little accident today.
"Hmph, it's always this trick, you cowardly humans can only shrink into the carapace, and never have the courage to fight? But it doesn't matter, today I will use the power you can't imagine to completely tear apart all your castles and weapons!"
With the fire giant's violent laughter, an abnormal fluctuation emanated from his body, adding countless gray-white rock armors layer upon layer under his originally beating fighting light. Although it didn't seem to be thick, even if the heavy crossbow shot the huge two-meter-long crossbow arrow on his body, it only splashed a spark, and it didn't hurt his flesh and skin.
"It's ...... How can a giant be so advanced in magic? Call the magician!"
Naturally, there were well-informed people in the human army, and they immediately discovered that the fire giant was using a very unpopular high-level magic, and immediately called for reinforcements. However, such a reaction could no longer solve the problem, and in the gap of human panic, the other party had already strode forward and broke through the human shield array.
This new type of monomer protection magic, which was developed only a few years ago, can be regarded as the ultimate form of "stone skin magic", which has a good defensive effect against both physical and magical attacks, and can constantly repair itself.
It's a pity that the weight of the multi-layered stone armor is also quite amazing, even if it is not as good as the all-metal armor, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. Therefore, most masters prefer qi shields with slightly poor defense but no weight, and few magicians use this move.
But today, when a fire giant with natural power put on this layer of rock armor, he burst out with amazing combat power.
The warriors in rock armor seemed to have turned into war monsters, completely ignoring the attacks of the warriors on the city and the arrows and magic in the air, and the giant axes in their hands swung like windmills, killing from one end of the city wall to the other, leaving only a bloody avenue a few meters wide in its passing.
"Boom-"
Naturally, the human side could not let this killing machine run rampant, and as soon as the fire giant's footsteps stopped, the magic cannon that had been prepared in the distance immediately bombarded it.
Then the human soldiers opened their mouths wide together, for they did not get their wish to see the terrible enemy being blasted out of the city. On the contrary, the terrifying fire giant actually used the big axe that suddenly emitted a dark yellow light to take the blue ** force cannonball with a diameter of more than three meters, and did not take a step back.
"Ahhhhh
Although he took the attack, the fire giant was not easy, and he saw that the muscles of his whole body swelled, his eyes widened with anger, and at the same time he roared loudly: "Whether it is an elf or a human, don't think that mastering magic is great." I'm going to show you today...... A magic that only we can comprehend!"
Before the words fell, he saw that the dark yellow ** power light on the giant axe in his hand suddenly flourished, devouring the magic cannonball in one fell swoop, and then slashed down the entire axe and fell on the broad city head, and at the same time a loud shout sounded: "Break it for me!"
The power that has definitely reached the level of the legendary high level bombarded the city wall fiercely. Since the contact attack was not blocked by the external magic screen wall, even though the city wall reinforced by the magic circuit was buried inside, it still could not resist this huge impact, and in the violent tremor, this piece of city wall more than twenty meters high collapsed with a bang.
The Dark Coalition soldiers who had been waiting for a long time under the city immediately roared and swarmed in, turning the entire position into a bloody battlefield.
The same scene was repeated in different places, with dozens of giants unleashing magical attacks before and after, and by the time the human and elven mages reacted and finally stabilized the situation, dozens of walls and fortresses had already been breached.
As a result, the Dark Alliance's front advanced a third of the height up the hill in one day.
At the same moment, Agatanns and Iroh in the distance were watching the battle from the air.
"This power...... It's something like the nature of the power of the 'Seven Death Stars' of Yan. β
Iroh stared at the increasingly tragic battlefield, and his heart was as calm as ice.
"Sure enough, it's the existence that Yan values the most," Agatans nodded with a smile, "The seven rings behind Yan have different powers, and the yellow color corresponds to defensive magic. Before the army was dispatched, he temporarily bestowed this power on the giants in the army, so I used the giants to break the level, and then waited until the more opportune time to activate the secret art that would work for the whole army. β
"In this way, it is very likely that the Holy See will be forced to use magic to lift the blessings of the giants. Then the coalition forces can take the opportunity to unleash the secret arts......"
"I see, is this the tactic of the sub?"
Ai Luo completely understood Yan's intentions at this moment, and couldn't help but nod again and again, "If that's the case, I really don't have anything to say." β
Sunset and sunrise, the night flowed.
In the next few days of fighting, although the results of the Dark Alliance were not as great as the first day, and the human race also urgently adjusted the deployment of the battle line, and even sent a few apostles to attack and kill a few giants, but they still could not stop the continuous retreat of the battle line. With the fall of fortresses and the collapse of city walls, the Dark Alliance's footsteps have already stepped halfway up the mountainside, gradually approaching the buildings in the core area of the Dawn Holy See.
However, the morale of the human race has not collapsed, and has even risen even higher with the advance of the Dark Alliance.
At the same time, the huge light divine power entrenched on the peak of the holy mountain has also condensed more and more, although the increase in power has gradually slowed down, but the form seems to change every day, and gradually merge with the various buildings of the mountain, which makes Agatans and others who have been paying attention to this point amazed.
Finally, on the twelfth day of the Dark Alliance's assault on the mountain, the last mountainside fortress fell, leaving only the topmost part of the mountain in human hands.
And the really hard battle has just begun.
......
The Holy Mountain of the Holy See of Dawn, which has gone through the flames of war, presents a unique bleak scene at this moment.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, in addition to the green mountain forest, there are only white religious buildings and neat pilgrimage mountain paths. Today, the vegetation of the entire mountain has long been destroyed, old buildings and new fortresses have been broken down, black smoke billows from the ruins, and countless corpses are piled up in the ruins, recording the flames of the war.
Ruins, fires, corpses, and hunting banners of the Dark Coalition seem to be intricate with countless ugly scars on the sacred mountain of yesteryear.
The only thing that still shrouded in holy light was the main building of the temple on the top of the mountain.
And today, the Dark Coalition Legion, which is outflanking from the bottom of the mountain in five ways, is like an open giant claw, trying to completely crush this last light crystal!
On this day, almost all the spellcasters of the Dark Alliance gathered together to perform a monumental ritual led by the Lizardman Cummins - standing on the blessed land of the god of light to bless the army of the dark camp.
As a military-level magic, the blood secret technique provided by Yan is naturally not something that one or a few people can use, maybe a demigod peak powerhouse like Ai Luo and Yan can do it, but they all have to prepare for the upcoming big battle.
The soldiers of the Dark Alliance didn't know how terrible the Pope and the Holy Inquisition were terrible, but they all knew it!
It is necessary to retain any shred of strength now.
Therefore, the task of performing the secret art was naturally entrusted to the casters in the army.
However, they didn't have any complaints, because this was a wish that countless members of the dark camp had thought about for hundreds of years but had not yet fulfilled, so these prayerful spellcasters worked extremely hard one by one, and for a while, thousands of pure golden and red power auras fell from the sky and fell on the dark alliance legions of various races, and the momentum was so great that it was indistinguishable from the light and divine power on the top of the mountain.
A gust of wind swept by, and the vampire dragon Agatans swept through the sky, looking down at the most elite legion of the Dark Alliance in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart for a moment.
...... How many years have it been? Since the day I chose to become a vampire dragon for revenge, I have gone through many hardships and paid many costs, and I have finally come here along the way.
There is no point in whether the process is right or wrong, and now such a self is like a carriage that has rushed to the limit of speed, and can only sprint towards the determined goal, regardless of whether the future is victory or destruction......
In fact, not only myself, but also the entire dark camp.
