Chapter 138: Heaven's Fall Void
The demon's attack lasted for about two to three hours before it ended, and the three city gates were almost no casualties because of the timely detection and assistance of the knights, most of the demons were blocked outside the shield, and the sporadic ones who came to the shield were also burned to ashes by the energy carried by the shield, and the attack of the Sky Fortress was even more weak, those demons who suddenly appeared from the dark clouds could not get close to the Sky Fortress guarded by the angels, the Holy Inquisitor and the Titans, so that most of them were shot down without even getting close to the shield, and the rest disappeared like dark clouds after the roar of retreat sounded in the rear。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huck looked at the pale flames burning in front of him, his eyes were scattered, he didn't quite understand why the demon had sent a group of weak people to death like this, but they had been annihilated without even touching the walls of the city wall, and finally even the corpses were burned by the flames, turned into a wisp of gray dust, swept into the air by the scorching wind of the desert, and finally mixed with the sand, fell into the desert, and no one cared about it again.
"Those demons have always been like this, eliminate the weak ones, let them consume the enemy's arrows, magic, and projectiles, and wait until the enemy consumes everything, the general attack will begin, but for now, it will be a long time before the general attack begins, the energy here is still sufficient, and the terrain is also advantageous, and it also has a sky fortress to help defend the sky, if the demon wants to use brute force to capture this place, I'm afraid he must be prepared to suffer huge losses first!" The devotion knight, who was standing beside Huck, explained to Huck, " Oh, I forgot, I'm the captain of the Third Brigade of the First Knights of the Sky Fortress, Farah, and I've come to assist you in defending against the invasion of demons at the behest of my lord, but obviously we're more worried, and the Queen of Fei'er is even more thoughtful than we thought!" Fa stretched his hand and caught a white petal floating in the air, "Tears of the Goddess, I didn't expect His Highness Feiyue to give this to you, it seems that this battle really has their endure!"
"You also know the tears of the goddess, haven't your Holy See and the temple of the goddess of Ai Fei Moon always been in a state of hostility?" Huck glanced up at the white petals dancing in the wind, some of which fell onto the armor of the soldiers, and some fell beside the corpses of the demons outside the city that had not yet been purified, but no matter what they were, they could not be stained with any other color, "Ahh
"Hahaha, it seems that your news is good, but that's just the surface state, Your Majesty Ai Feiyue is my lord's sister, how can you really hate each other? And the fact that Her Majesty Ai Feiyue is a goddess is also highly respected by my lord, and even in many cases, my lord is secretly helping Her Majesty Ai Feiyue solve some unnecessary troubles, such as the return of the gods and other things, but these things are no longer human beings can get involved in, of course, there are legends that humans have killed gods who are gods, but I think luck accounts for a greater part!" Farah took a deep breath, the air with the faint fragrance of flowers was refreshing, he had grown up in the Holy Mountain, and although he had been to many places, it was only at this moment, standing under the gloomy sky full of flowers, that he felt an unprecedented emotion, as if the war was about to subside, and humanity would return to peace.
The two stood like this for a long time, the sky was as gloomy as ever, making it impossible for people to perceive the passage of time, until the bell to report the time came from the rear, everyone knew that night had fallen, and the demon had not reacted since the previous attack, at the request of Huck, the soldiers on the watchtower would fire an alchemy flare every half an hour to an hour, and there were many such flares, and the teleportation array leading to Fei'er here could still be used, without it, you could request Fei'er resources, and there was no need to worry about depletion。
Walking down the wall, Huck felt pain all over his body, he had been wearing armor like this for a long time, and he almost forgot the wonderful feeling of lying on the bed and falling asleep, after the demon receded, he suddenly relaxed in a state of nervous tension, and the gradually accumulated exhaustion suddenly all came up on his body, making his body crumble, Farah had been with Huck since he arrived, and when he saw Huck like this, he knew that he was almost unable to hold on, so he cast a quiet spell on him for sleep, and then handed Huck to the guards, and asked the guards to take Huck to a safe place to rest, and he returned to the city wall, continue Huck has not left the post.
The scout saw that this time he came up was a knight in armor as bright as blood, and immediately fell into silence, and the atmosphere seemed lifeless, in their eyes, this knight didn't have the affinity of Huck no matter how he looked at it, of course, it was also likely that because he was still fighting demons on the battlefield a few days ago, so he hadn't retreated from the terrifying anger on his body, "What? Am I more terrible than those demons?" Farah suddenly laughed when he saw that everyone was silent, " Or did you suddenly find out that the person who came up was not your own prince, but a stranger, so you felt wary?"
"No, that's not the case!" said the scout standing beside Farah with a squeak, "this- this lord, we- we're just watching the demons closely- yes - just watching the demons closely!"
"Don't worry, the demons won't be back for a while, they will judge our defense strength based on the memories of their dead companions, and then adjust the strength of the next batch of cannon fodder before launching a second round of attacks, the first adjustment will be very long, and then it will become more and more frequent, until finally the attack will be almost non-stop!" Farah said to the scouts, And it's hard for you to see through demonic illusions with just the naked eye, and among them are succubius who are responsible for creating illusions, and it's almost impossible for ordinary humans to see through with the naked eye!"
Farah's calm tone gradually made the scouts relax their vigilance, and the demon did not move, so everyone began to talk again, "You are so powerful, how can you be defeated? And in my opinion, you can kill the demon as easily as digging for the bag, and if you put a fire at will, you can burn a large area of the demon to the point that there are no bones left, how can you be so easily breached by breaking through the holy mountain?" A scout used Farah's enhanced alchemy prop to look around, but still couldn't find anything, and then asked.
"If you underestimate them like this, you're afraid you'll suffer in the future, although the wave of attacks just now is indeed weaker than regular human attacks, but don't forget, they are demons, and their ability to reproduce and grow and adapt far exceeds that of any other race we know!" Farah said. When we were besieged in the Holy Mountain, although we had a more powerful army than here, but there was no dangerous terrain to defend, and there was a group of monsters that were more terrible than the demons under the Holy Mountain, no matter how strong we were, we could not resist the attacks of the demons and the monsters at the same time, and finally out of helplessness, my lord ordered the evacuation, you should have seen those monsters, the ones that hunted the demons, the black shadows!"
The Scouts fell silent again in Farah's somewhat gloomy tone, apparently they were frightened by Farah, and Farah was clearly satisfied with his performance, and was now looking at the gloomy Scout with a smile on his face. Rest assured, we didn't have such a powerful shield at that time, and it was a double shield, the speed of development of Fei'er's alchemy technology has exceeded the scope of what we know, and from this shield I can feel that the power is constantly entering my body, replenishing my life, making me tireless, and have more fearless courage than before!" Farah's shoulders were lowered, leaning against the battlements of the watchtower, but his tone was impassioned, if it weren't for this armor, it would really have the taste of a ruffian's speech.
"But Fei'er's reinforcements haven't arrived yet!" said the scout, "although you can feel Fei'er's breath everywhere here, and the breath of His Majesty Feiyue, Fei'er's aid is everywhere, but I still don't feel hope, the demon has driven us to a dead end, we have no choice, although Fei'er's door is always open for us, but we are all people who are unwilling to leave our hometown, we are willing to live and die with our hometown!" Scout's tone was tragic and desperate, and Farah only smiled indifferently after listening to his words.
"Didn't you find out? You yourself have refuted your own words, you say that this is a dead end, you say that you have no choice, you can't see hope, but you also say that you are willing to stay and live and die with your hometown!" Farah said, "Since you have already made a choice, why estimate too much? Death is the ultimate destination of all people, at least we can choose how we die, not like those who are killed or infected by demons, even fate is in control, until death!"
With that, Farah turned his gaze to the seemingly endless desert, and a few bright stars could be faintly seen at the end of the desert, even though they were almost obscured by dark clouds, but Farah still saw them, as if he saw hope, and he kept staring at the end of the horizon until Huck woke up and returned to the watchtower, and then completed the handover and returned to the Sky Fortress to rest. Don't force yourself, now that we are in a state of war, try to rest if you can, and eat as much as you can, otherwise when the demons are overwhelmed, you will find yourself tired and even need courage to resist, that is the moment of real despair!" Before leaving, Farah patted Huck on the shoulder and said to Huck, and at the same time, he turned his gaze to all the soldiers present, their eyes were already dark, and their expressions looked very tired.
