Chapter 387: Raging Neris (Part I)
[Supplement, one paragraph less from the previous chapter.] Total crash caused. Nellis said: The Duke ...... "There is a small natural section below. Ferdinand smiled wryly, "I'm just a marquis. Nellis looked cunning and said, "Soon you will be a duke." (It's roughly missing such a sentence.,Caused by the total crash.,I'm really sorry) Today's four more]
The attack on the southern city by the Holy See army lasted for a day, and by evening the losses on both sides were heavy. Generally speaking, even if there is a gap in the quality of the soldiers, the defending side will have the advantage, after all, a wall close to 20 meters high is an insurmountable obstacle for any army.
However, the soldiers of the Holy See, unless their hands and feet are cut off, they can still continue to fight unless they have a big hole in their stomachs.
The alarm went out in the morning, and the answer was that they were waiting for help.
If the enemy had not been the army of the Holy See, the southern city would have collapsed long ago. In this kind of strong attack, as long as the attacking side has enough troops, sooner or later the city will be taken. Fortunately, the hostility of the Qin Yin people towards the Holy See has accumulated for thousands of years, and the people of Kushui County who were born in Qin Yin also have the same attitude.
As night fell, the offensive slowed down, and the army here in the main city began to assemble.
The leading striker is, of course, Nerice's demon legion. Two necromancers were placed in five cavalry banner regiments, with more undead knights, and six thousand people were gathered to follow behind the demon legion.
At the back of the cavalry ranks were the chariot soldiers. After the years of the decline of the magic chariot, the chariot soldiers have almost disappeared, and the current chariot soldiers are just a type of infantry, and there are not too many of them.
These chariot soldiers are there to cover the magician. Fortunately, the necromancer is very vulnerable, the elemental mage is very vulnerable to attack on the battlefield, mainly because of the defense and reaction speed of the white-robed mage, and the great mage basically will not make any fatal mistakes. These chariot soldiers are with the white-robed mages, forty huge chariots, protecting forty white-robed mages.
The role of the white-robed mage is not small, and it can continuously apply level 0 magic, level 1 magic, healing, and blessings to soldiers. Low-level mages also have a very fast recovery rate, their magic strings are short, and they also consume low-level magic cores, and their battlefield value exceeds that of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.
However, the number of white-robed mages accompanying the army this time is too small, and their existence is to detoxify and dispel divine magic.
Magic can affect magic, just as magic can disrupt magic. Forty white-robed mages, for officers. If an officer is affected by divine magic, the mage dispels him.
Behind the infantry fighting vehicle, there is the cavalry infantry. Most of the infantry had horses, but the endurance and speed of these horses could not be compared to the mounts of the cavalry. The cavalry infantry of Sanlian City, most of the mounts were also captured, and in the territory of Qinyin, the lanes were spacious and convenient, and the march of the infantry mostly relied on infantry fighting vehicles.
The number of these cavalry infantry was only fifteen thousand. In fact, after the Demon Legion and Heavy Cavalry, the main city has not increased elite soldiers to participate in this operation, and there are still 100,000 enemies in the north and west, so people have to be on guard.
And the main force of the Tangulas people is only more than fifty miles away from Sanlian City. If you force yourself to cross the river, you can gather under the city in one day.
Neris didn't care what the intentions of the human army behind her were, all she needed was a group of people to help her pack up the spoils. After killing the enemy, the enemy's armor weapons, crossbow arrows, and war horses are not good at carrying them, and the demon only kills the enemy.
Whatever army was hiding in that mysterious camp, at least there was a lot of logistics there, and Neris decided to get it back, and that's it.
On the castle tower, the hands of the magic clock of the white-robed mage turned to the first scale in the morning, the city was lit up with a faint white light, the gate slowly opened, and Neris jumped out of the city wall with a vertical leap, and fell to the ground, making a heavy sound of trampling the earth.
The demons streamed out of the spacious city gate, and the soldiers of the Bitter Water County at the head of the city looked at the demon legion with mixed feelings. At this time, only the magician speaking is not considered a violation of military discipline, and a great magician wasted no time in saying to the white-robed mage beside him: "It's been tens of thousands of years, the demon, and finally set out for the human race to conquer the believers of the gods, this is a good thing......"
"Your Excellency, you are right. When humanity was strong, not only demons but also giants fought for us, and it would be great if humanity could regain its original glory. ”
There was silence at the head of the city. The dialogue between the two mages is particularly striking. The soldiers could not interject, but they could listen. Almost all the soldiers had varying degrees of shock in their hearts.
The stories sung by the bards do contain the story of demons fighting for humanity, and there are many more bizarre races. Most ordinary people don't know that this is the real history. But today, confirmed from the mouth of the magician, the people of Kushui County chose to believe.
Magicians don't lie, those legends really existed!
Of course, the gray-robed mage would not suddenly think of this, and when he said this, it was completely at the behest of the Marquis. In this way, it will slowly spread among the army and spread carefully, and it won't be long before this kind of remarks will spread throughout the Kushui County and even enter the Qin Yin Empire.
Once this kind of rhetoric has spread, it will be very difficult to reverse it. The Marquis was very clever, and after negotiating with Nerice, he came up with many similar methods and implemented them one by one.
The cavalry after the demon went out of the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city suddenly felt proud, these iron horses. Much more powerful than the Tangulas, if it weren't for the presence of so many blood knights, the battle wouldn't be too difficult at all.
It was not uncommon for the soldiers to think so, as when they captured the Triple City, it was easier than the Tangulas Empire, even though they attacked from an easier direction last time.
The demon legions had no horses, and these demons, led by Neris, ran at a gallop. The armor made for demons is not heavy, at least it is much lighter than the poor armor of the demon plane. As they went, there was only the sound of the demon's footsteps and the metal grinding against the armor.
The two cities are only twenty miles away. Theoretically, this is equivalent to a line of defense without gaps, and if it were not for the fact that the city itself was built with the huge lithosphere of the earth, I am afraid that no human would have built a city like this.
Within five miles, it was the distance of the trebuchet, and between the two cities, there was only a passage ten miles wide, and the Tangulas were on this ten-mile passage. The distance of five miles was too close for the demon, and there were few secrets between the two sides.
When the demon legion appeared, the Tangulas scouts withdrew from the range of the trebuchets and the magic stone cannons, while the blood knights of the Tangulas quickly dispatched and rushed head-on.
The Blood Knight doesn't need to rest, it doesn't need logistics, it just needs the magicians of the Inquisition to take care of it. At least half of the 20,000 blood knights pressed up.
The mobilization of tens of thousands of cavalry was originally very slow, for example, the six thousand cavalry of Kushui County, equipped with armor, lined up, armored after maintenance of war horses, and the test of magic equipment, it took a few hours. The blood knight didn't need these at all, and the ten thousand cavalry reacted quickly and went straight to the frontal attack of the demon legion.
Neither side used crossbow arrows, the Blood Knights were not, they could throw javelins at most, and the demons were not good at bows and crossbows, and the people of Kushui County also understood that ordinary bows and crossbows were not lethal to Blood Knights. Unless an arrow pierces the blood knight's brain, the blood knight can stop fighting, but such an accurate shot must at least be an archer equivalent to the level of a high-level swordsman. No matter how low the level is, you won't be able to pull such a hard bow.
Nellis grinned and laughed. She issued only one simple order - kill me!
Then, Nellis took out her Philosopher's Stone Cannon, supported it with her massive arm, and aimed at the Blood Knight as she rushed towards her.
The magic stone cannon is better than the trebuchet in that it is small in size and has no reaction force. Even if Neris was the embodiment of a demon god, it was impossible for her to run around with a trebuchet.
The speed of the blood knight was too fast, and it only took tens of seconds from appearing in the demon's line of sight to rushing nearly fifty meters. The crimson armor, the rotting flesh, and the hollow eyes. For demons, this ...... It's so shocking.
Neris crouched down and triggered the magic stone cannon, and in the thick barrel, nearly a hundred stone bullets gushed out, shooting straight towards the blood knight.
In the defense of the city, the Magic Stone Cannon never shoots so straight, but like a trebuchet, it takes a hanging shot, allowing the Magic Stone Shells to disperse the attacking enemy infantry or large equipment. This time, Nellis's usage is really a unique tactic.
The Philosopher's Stone Bullet whirled, with a subtle wind blade, sweeping through the ranks of the Blood Knights. Everywhere they passed, the blood knights who came rushing fell in pieces, their limbs flying.
The magic stone bullet that hits directly is basically through the body, and if it is rubbed on the body, it can take away a large piece of flesh and blood. If you hit the Blood Knight's limbs, it will be smashed off.
As soon as the cannon bombarded out, more than two hundred blood knights were completely disabled, and together with the war horses, they lost any possibility of fighting. Neris laughed, this thing is used on the battlefield, it is simply too painful, if the enemy is not a blood knight, the lethality of this magic stone cannon will be even greater.
Neris takes out the complete Philosopher's Stone Bullet and fills it in the cannon. Her gigantic demon god incarnation provides unimaginable power. Neris, who has the ability to activate the magic array, reduced the attack power of the magic stone cannon, and ten seconds later, another shot was fired.
There are no more blood knights in the front row, and the blood knights in the back are still charging forward, they don't know pain, they don't know fear. The magic stone bullet penetrated the blood knight in front and directly swept away the enemy within a distance of hundreds of meters, and when the blood knight behind rushed up, they were already wounded and faced another bombardment from Neris.
This is a slaughter without suspense! Neris used a huge magic stone cannon to shoot from a distance, and these blood knights could not resist even if they were swordsmen's strength.
In the hands of the Demon God, the incomparably heavy Philosopher's Stone Cannon was as light as a child's slingshot.
Firing six cannons in a row, Nellis felt that the magic array in the magic stone cannon was not very stable. Such a fast shot was not originally thought of when it was designed. Neris had no choice but to put away the magic stone cannon and replace it with her more than thirty-meter-long robber.
