Chapter 141: Heaven's Fall The third round of offensive
The sky was as gloomy as ever, the soldiers were getting more and more tired, the gates were reinforced again and again, and the walls were set up on the walls by idle soldiers using the waste items of the citizens who had left, and some were hung directly from the walls, and in order to prevent the demons from using ladders with fixtures, the soldiers also made a rounded stone, which was strong and lubricated, and after several experiments, the soldiers fixed the stones to the battlements, unless the demons used another more stable rope to reinforce the device, otherwise their ladders will slide like they are on buttered iron on battlements.

In addition, the soldiers and alchemists also developed a device specifically for the siege tower, the principle of the siege tower is that the soldiers can directly climb the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city made an alchemy prop similar to the siege cone, this prop is embedded in the hollowed-out city wall, there is one for every three meters, when the siege tower is close, this siege cone will be touched and fixed, relying on the repulsion magic array in the alchemy technology, the siege cone will hit the siege tower at a very fast speed, even if the siege tower can not be broken, it can also make the siege tower unable to reach the city wall smoothly for a while。
Huck and Farah are watching these idle and boring soldiers step by step to make these terrible things, this is also the first time that the two have seen that human creativity is so powerful in a critical moment, when the demon launches the next attack, it is likely that there will not be a long gap like this time, because the beginning of the next attack must mean that the demon has successfully contained the continuous flow of shadow beasts pouring out of the abyss, and at that time, the real war will come, but the soldiers have already seen the appearance of the demon, although they may still be defeated, but it is still possible for a few to risk their lives to kill a demon。
"Woo-" Just as the two of them stood on the watchtower and looked down at the beautiful scenery in the city, a high-pitched horn came from outside the city, the demon hated the horn, but it could not be ruled out that it was the horn of humans who had been enslaved or corrupted by the demon, and then the dust that covered the sky and the sun was raised again.
"Your Highness, it's human—" The soldier from the watchtower reported to Huck.
"Those aren't human anymore!" Huck looked calm as he and Farah ran down the watchtower, shouting at the herald waiting for him, "Blow the horn and let the magician come, regular formation!"
The herald received the order and began to blow the horn of Rakhi, and at this moment, the sound of drums came from far outside the city, mixed with the roar of some monsters, and the dark sky began to flood with blood-colored waves, and began to attack the sky fortress first, and the soldiers in the city had already gone through several training and actual combat began to step on the right track, and when Huck and Farah returned to the walls, the archers, musketeers, and spearmen in the front row were all in place.
At this time, Huck looked out of the city again, the local army had been arrayed, judging from the flag, the other party's troops should be the combined forces of the countries around Rakki and the Holy See, but it was also mixed with corrupted orcs, elves and some deformed creatures that were half human and half demons, most of them were infantry, and the armor on their bodies was also the conventional armor used by human armies, but the difference was that the chest of these armors was engraved with a magic array as bright red as blood, and I am afraid that it was a magic array similar to the suicide magic array that I encountered before。
The two sides stood opposite each other, there was silence above and below the city, the sound of drums, horns, and roars all fell into a standstill, at this time, three bright golden signal flares bloomed first out of the east gate, and then the sky fortress came into contact with the blood-colored waves, and the blood-colored waves formed a huge whirlpool, surrounding the sky fortress in it, except for the golden light still blooming at the bottom, the other positions have been completely covered by blood, and even the city of Laki has been reflected in a blood-red color.
Then, the horns outside the city began to sound, and gradually the high-pitched sound was like the first light of the morning, followed by heavy war drums and angry roars, the warriors raised their shields and began to press towards the city walls with heavy steps, under the shields hidden ladders and battering rams, and the orcs followed behind the humans in heavy armor, holding two-handed hammers and axes used in melee combat, and behind the orcs, the elves and deformed humans who had completely changed their shapes, and what seemed to be pure ranged power.
"Archers prepare—" Huck watched the approaching humans, through the cracks in their armor, Huck could see their skin with black and red spots, and when he got closer, Huck could see the reddened eyes, "they're not human anymore, don't show mercy, let go of the arrows-"
The familiar sound of arrows breaking through the air came to my ears, and the soldiers besieging the city were all holding shields, and the role of arrows was not as big as imagined, but it also successfully delayed the pace of the soldiers, "Musketeers prepare, first echelon!" After the first round of arrows, the soldiers besieging the city began to run, and the shield of the goddess temple had a weak impact on the human soldiers, which was not enough to slow them down, "Bang-" Dense iron projectiles fell on the first approaching human soldiers, and after witnessing their companions being beaten to a blur of flesh, they had to turn their shields from their heads to protect their bodies, giving the archers an excellent opportunity to attack.
But at this time, the black arrows of the corrupted elves rose into the sky, these arrows did not know what magic was used, and they fell directly on the heads of the soldiers in the city through the pyramid-shaped shields, and the soldiers in the front row immediately raised their shields to protect the top of their heads when they saw that the situation was wrong, while the archers in the rear hid in the eaves next to them and directly behind the city wall, but due to the hasty reaction, many people were still injured by the black arrows, and the painful wails were connected for a while.
"Quick, let the priestess come over, most of the demon's arrows have a strong corrosive power, and the soldiers will be eroded into demonic puppets later!" Farah shouted to Huck standing beside him, holding her shield to shield herself from the black arrows that rained down.
"Go and get the priestesses over and ask them to help cleanse the demons of the erosion—" Huck shouted to his lieutenant after hearing Farah's advice.
"The priestesses were here when we assembled!" replied the lieutenant, "they have experienced so much more wars than we do, and they know more about demons than we do!"
"Fight back, fight back, don't be suppressed by them, magician, attack their rear, harass the elves and those deformed demons, quick-" Huck nodded to the lieutenant general, and began to give orders again, and it took about three minutes for the order to be transmitted from the city wall to the watchtower where the magician was, and in this three minutes, the enemy's unsuppressed vanguard had reached the moat, and had stepped into the area occupied by the white flowers, which turned into petals and floated into the air as soon as they stepped in, and the magic circle hidden in the petals was activated, and the bright white light almost illuminated the sky outside the city walls as if it were day, and the scouts in charge of observation were blinded by the strong light for a moment。
Everyone didn't expect the tears of the goddess to have such an effect, the strong white light successfully slowed down the pace of the enemy army, their eyes were dripping with black blood, and their bodies began to twist, Ben's indomitable body knelt on the ground without hesitation, his distorted face was full of sadness, and the soldiers closest to the flowers even began to cry in pain, and at this time the magician's magic was also ready, and one by one the fireballs with a scorching breath flew out of the watchtower and fell on the elves behind the soldiers who were recovering their vision, those elves had no armor, and the explosion caused by the fireballs easily swept the elves into the air, and when it fell to the ground, it was already a fragmented body.
When the rear was bombarded by fireballs, the soldiers in the front row suddenly did an extremely strange thing, they stood up silently, black blood was flowing all over their bodies, Huck thought that these soldiers would continue to attack the city wall, but he didn't expect those soldiers to turn around and start to attack the orcs behind him indiscriminately, the orcs were caught off guard by the soldiers, and when they began to react, they had been killed by nearly one-fifth, but the good times did not last long, after the orcs reacted, those human soldiers who were not strong were cut off their heads like wheat, because there was no formation, human soldiers could not fight against the orcs at allIn less than twenty minutes, the rebellious human soldiers had been slaughtered, and the orcs did not continue to move forward, but after roaring a few times at the city wall, they began to retreat quickly under the human arrows.
"What's the situation with those humans?" Huck sighed as he looked at the white flowers that were still blooming quietly on the banks of the moat, "Could it be that the white flowers still have the effect of purifying and eroding, awakening the conscience and memories of those human beings?"
"Perhaps, it is rumored that the tears of the goddess were the tears of Ai Feiyue for the fallen knights, and it is not surprising that it can awaken the glory and memory of the soldiers!" Farah glanced at the traces of blood left by the city below, and the human beings whose heads had been cut off turned into a pool of blood in a very short time, leaving only a scattered piece of armor on the sandy sand.
After making sure that the enemy had completely retreated, the first aid work in the city was in full swing, and the lightly wounded soldiers were basically fine after being treated by the priestess, while the more seriously injured soldiers were sent to the temple of the goddess, where they needed to be baptized to completely remove the demonic erosion, and some of the dead soldiers needed to be cremated immediately, otherwise the plague would soon begin to spread, and at that time, let alone the priestess, even if the moon came, I am afraid there would be no immediate effect.
Relaxed, Huck turned his gaze to the Sky Fortress suspended in the sky, "My lord sits in the Sky Fortress, unless the leader of the other party personally participates in the attack, it is impossible to capture the Sky Fortress with only those small soldiers, the reason why they attack at the same time is because they are afraid that the Sky Fortress will assist the ground troops in defending, there are a lot of weapons of mass destruction there, although they are not aimed at demons, but they can still have some effect on demons!" It's not even a prologue now, and if the Sky Fortress falls so easily, can it still be considered the base camp of our Holy See?"
