On the plains in the direction of the Empire, a thunderous roar sounded: "The glory of the Rhine Fortress cannot be tarnished! We fight for the Oran Empire! We fight for His Majesty the Emperor!"

The defenders in the fortress suddenly shouted excitedly: "Marshal Louis has arrived with reinforcements!"

Louis rode on a tall horneous horse, cold on the outside, but at ease in his heart, he enjoyed this much-anticipated glory, but fortunately he did not get carried away, and as soon as he entered the fortress with his army, the army began to be armed.

The nobles who had taken refuge in the fortress were relieved, and they could finally leave the sprawling city and go north.

This was the Emperor's order, they had to block the Rhine Fortress before the Imperial army arrived, and the fortress could not accommodate so many people after the Imperial army entered.

The drums outside the fortress grew louder and louder, huge siege towers and catapults were constantly being assembled and erected, and ballistas roared.

A whole phalanx of troll infantry, led by several giant beasts with a huge and amazing siege vehicle, rushed towards the gate of the fortress, the diameter of the giant tree in the siege vehicle exceeded the height of a person, the giant wood swayed by thick iron, its tip was an all-alloy dragon-shaped column, and there was a magic circle in the column head to increase the destructive power.

A rain of arrows staggered up and down the fortress walls, and Maitz's archers were a horde of demon elves, and the arrows they shot were still flaming.

In the distance, the siege towers rise one after another, attacking the city wall of this height, don't think about using a long ladder, there are many trees on the continent, as long as you have time, you can do as many siege towers as you want, this kind of large-scale battle, the siege tower also replaces the arrow tower and the spell tower.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Rhine Fortress began.

In the grove north of Oro City, Hans looked at Edmund who fled for his life, and regretted it in his heart, it was too risky to kill Raphael now, I knew that the report should be a little later, and Matz would also receive the news, maybe the anger would not be so great at that time.

But he didn't have time to hesitate, he had already seen Raphael leading a cavalry in pursuit, he gritted his teeth and rushed out of the woods, shouting, "Lord Raphael, I have something to say to you. ”

Raphael ordered: "Keep the pursuit!"

He himself steered his horse slowly, broke away from the group, and galloped towards Hans, and Valerie naturally followed him, although she could not go as far as Raphael away.

Unlike Raphael, other necromancers must rely on arcane spells to communicate with summoned necromancers, so the distance is far, and the mental power is not enough, the necromancers are not bound by the command, so those with strong mental power can control the distance.

In fact, the undead who have not received the order are not terrible to the living, they will only attack the same necromantic to get the dead qi, and the living are meaningless to them.

Low-level necromancers have no intelligence, and when they don't have orders, they will only be in a daze, while high-level necromancers are actually intelligent, but they pretend to be in a daze when they are far away, and they are not willing to do anything.

High-level necromancers are not stupid. The soul of the necromancer has been scattered, although it will return to the necromantic plane and will be restored by the laws of the plane, but it will definitely lose the most quintessential death qi, and it will also lose its wisdom, so it is not good to take risks?

Luo Fei's eyes rolled, and after running for a short while, he also shouted: "Continue the pursuit, don't let anyone go!" But he himself broke away from the group, drove his horse into the grove on the side, and took cover in the direction of Raphael.

The edges of this kind of woods are relatively sparse, there are not many shrubs, and they are quite capable of walking horses.

Raphael knew that the overall situation had been decided, and it was not necessary for him to pursue him, so he gave this great achievement to his subordinates, believing that they would be very grateful, and he left Hans some distance away, and asked, "Why?

Hans reined in his horse and ran slowly to the east, and said, "Come with me, and I will have a good talk with you." ”

Valery's eyes were throbbing, her brow furrowed on her visor, and she said, "Raphael, don't go, I think this bastard has bad intentions." ”

Raphael shrugged his shoulders and said, "What should come is always coming, don't underestimate ourselves, we are just inferior in absolute strength, with your help, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of him." ”

So saying, he drove his horse after him, Valerie followed closely, and Luo Fei hung far behind them.

Hans saw that there was a small hill in front of him, and that it was again to the east, far from the battlefield, and that no cavalry could pass by, and after rounding the hillside, he stopped.

Raphael followed, and after stopping with Valery, he said, "Are you going to kill me?

Hans asked curiously, "Then you still come along?"

Raphael smiled and said, "Is the power of the demon god? that's not your own!" Hans, I advise you to give up that power, follow me, and cultivate again, although you used to be harsh on me, but after all, in the confinement stone room, you also saved my life. ”

Raphael and they were not fast, so Luo Fei easily followed, he parked the wildebeest in the distant woods, and after a few vertical leaps, he landed on the top of the slope, and when he saw that it was Hans, a happy smile appeared on the little fat face, and he immediately took out a colorless crystal, hid in the bushes, and used secret magic to activate the magic circle in the crystal, and the surrounding scene appeared in the crystal.

At this time, Hans was angry and said: "Cessis treats you very well, she is dead! You are from Linkou Village, and your friend is also dead! Why do you still want to help the Pope! The situation in the village, even if you have not seen it with your own eyes, you can imagine it. ”

Raphael had a contract with Luo Fei, and he could have sensed Luo Fei's approach, but his mind was on Hans, and he didn't notice that Luo Fei was nearby for a while, and said: "So, do you want to help the Demon God Sect? You killed those poor girls in order to gain power, I can't believe that the Night Alliance, which believes in the Demon God Cult, can bring any benefit to the empire." ”

Hans laughed and said, "Those girls, they would have died without me!How can you blame me? Aren't you also at war for your own territory? How many people have you killed? Does this make a difference? You are just hypocritical kindness, don't tell me, you are thinking about all the people of the empire, this is so funny, a country count, thinking about the fate of the empire!"

Raphael said in a deep voice: "Yes, participation is participation, and I am the same, but I just don't like the Demon God Sect." The Demon God Cult didn't give me a choice. ”

"I don't give you a choice, submit to Lord Maitz, take your army, and I promise that the Grand Guild of Maitz will give you the corresponding status. Hans thought for a moment and threatened: "I know that Emilia must have received your help, she has been secretly looking for the ruins after seeing you once, you must know the location of the ruins, but you didn't tell the Pope!"

Luo Fei was overjoyed to hear this, and immediately turned off the crystal, and he thought it was enough, so he sneaked down the hill.

Raphael's spiritual power was running quickly in the fighting vein, and he said: "Hans, this is impossible, a person like Matz is not worth following at all, don't talk nonsense, show the power you got from the demon god!"

He jumped off the wildebeest and slapped it on the rump to drive it away.

Valerie also said on the side: "Your choices are different, there is nothing to talk about at all, Raphael relies on himself, you rely on borrowed strength." ”

Hans's expression twisted slightly, the black gas on his body was steaming, and black flames also rose on the surface of the sword, shouting: "Okay, then I will kill you!" He jumped up from the horned horse, swung his sword and slashed towards Raphael, and the huge black flame broke away from the sword body and flew towards Raphael. But he was still in mid-air when a fluttering butterfly hammer slashed at his neck.

As soon as Hans moved, Raphael deftly leaped, avoiding Hans's sword route, and the black flame struck the ground in the distance, and with a loud bang, the ground was bombarded with a large crater.

Raphael's necromantic veins fluctuated, and a bone spur and a corrosive spell flew towards Hans at the same time.

Hans swept away the hammer with his sword, but he also had to land, just in time for the magic. He didn't have time to return to the sword to block, he roared, the black qi on his body fluctuated, and he carried Raphael's magic hard, and in the crackling sound, Hans laughed: "Raphael, is your magic so powerful? ”

Valerie flew, her hammer whirling in the air and heading towards Hans again.

Raphael's necromantic veins moved, and a bone cage appeared around Hans.

Hans was shocked, he didn't expect Raphael to release the magic so quickly, and it was very secretive, and when he felt the fluctuations, the magic was basically formed, he was limited by the bone cage, looking at the shining giant blade of the flying butterfly hammer, he hurriedly burst out of the fighting spirit of his whole body, and finally broke free of the bone cage with a "bang", and raised his sword to block the butterfly blade that fluttered through the gap in the bone cage.

But Valerie was already in motion, and she didn't stop, she circled around Hans, and when the hammer was blocked, the hammer flew towards Hans again with a twist.

Hans swung the black flame hard, but he didn't even want to attack Valery, he was already flustered, he only felt that there were circles of chains around him.

Raphael, on the other hand, only cast a small spell, forcing Hans to jump and dodge, and after a few spells, he cast a dark soul wave.

The Dark Soul Wave is formed using necromantic magic, like a ring.

The ring flew towards Hans and spread out, it had a wide range, it was a kind of mental fluctuation magic.

Hans was affected and even more panicked, he had to use his ultimate, he turned his body wildly, and swung his long sword at an accelerated pace, the tip of the sword was thick, and it led to a spiral of black gas lines, which exploded in all directions.

Raphael and Valerie had already avoided it far away, and after a little distance, the gap in this vindictive move was very large.

The vindictive spirit swept past Raphael, who was leaping over, and Valerie, who was flying lightly, and blew the nearby bushes to pieces, and Hans's wildebeest next to him was even more miserable, being cut into several pieces at once, and blood was all over the ground.

Valerie was not afraid, and she attacked again.

After easing the urgency of the situation with his ultimate, Hans finally stabilized, and he used his sword to seal the key points steadily, no longer in a hurry to attack.
