Chapter 390: The Devil's Sacrifice to the Heavens is Boundless (3) (Three More Votes!)
can't stand loneliness, and can only be a low-level devil forever. β
Standing on the platform of the command post, looking at the Steel Demon Company under the city, Quith couldn't help but think of a sentence from Kunini's note.
It's just that even if the devil earl takes this sentence as a motto, he can't stand the loneliness.
In the end, he ended up with ashes.
To tell the truth, seeing that it was only some steel demons and barbed demons who were attacking Prosperity Town, Quest didn't feel very happy at first, but he felt a little lacking in interest.
However, he quickly reacted and corrected his dangerous and erroneous thinking, "Only fools who think they are strong will be dissatisfied because their opponents are too weak, and the victors only seek results." β
And whether to choose to be a "fool" or a "winner", for the young blue dragon, the result is self-evident.
So he straightened his attitude and began to take a serious look at this war, which he originally asserted as "rookies pecking at each other".
Looking at it this way, it really made him see some doorways:
Those steel demons who charge intensively, although there will be attrition caused by ballista hits from time to time, most of the time, they can successfully dodge the ballista attack by quickly interspersing the queue to a certain extent.
And even if there is no way to avoid it, there are often several Steel Demons raising their swords at the same time to help their companions block.
If it weren't for the fact that Quest knew very well that there was never such a thing as "friendship between demons", ordinary people might have thought how close the relationship between steel demons was when they saw this scene.
"I'm afraid this is a group skill of theirs," Quith immediately thought of a possibility, "The denser the steel demon is, the higher the strength bonus, and vice versa...... I am afraid that when the number of people is reduced to a certain extent, this effect will disappear. β
At this time, the person who commanded the defenders at the head of the city was none other than the sheriff of Prosperity Town, the desert elf Brach.
Although he had commanded many battles with the Salem tribe, they were all cavalry battles, and even if Quest later sent him to raid the camel empire in the island world, it could only be regarded as a kind of guerrilla warfare, and he had no experience in defending the city.
Therefore, in the face of the Steel Demon Company, which was advancing layer by layer like a surge, Brach really lacked effective means of confrontation.
In addition to the ballista hitting the target, which can make a steel demon die in an instant, turning into a pile of twisted lead, those mortal crossbowmen from the different planes, most of the arrows they shoot can only draw a spark on the cold iron armor that wraps the enemy's body.
Therefore, the Steel Devil, whose actions were not hindered too much, walked firmly towards the hoop iron gate of Prosperity Town step by step.
It wasn't until the two brothers got the approval of Quiss, who was in charge of the material warehouse, and the weapon master Naru, that the two brothers led people to push some hidden big killing weapons to the city, that the steel demons were forced to stop advancing.
"Calibrate the elements, done!"
"Gun filling, done!"
"Cannonballs are loaded, over!"
After more than half a month of training in Nalu, some of the personnel selected from Prosperity Town have been successfully transferred to gunners.
In accordance with the requirements of the operating specifications, they reported quickly in segments, and waited until Naru reviewed the entire process. The strong ogre, who liked to fiddle with all kinds of weapons, shouted excitedly: "Cycle fire! Cover the shot! Shoot all the shells that have been brought up!"
With the sound of "boom", these "hell roars" channeled by the Bartow logistics management department from Avernath into Prosperity Town began to roar on the battlefield.
Hearing this familiar sound, and seeing the smoke and fire rising from the city, the battle-hardened Captain of the Steel Demon instantly burst into flames.
"Stop moving forward, retreat immediately!" he commanded in purgatory language, "Lift the formation!"
In fact, many of the Steel Demon soldiers who had served on the front line of the bloody war for a long time had just recognized the "Hell's Roar".
They had deliberately slowed their pace of progress, and as soon as the captain's latest order was given, these fellows did not hesitate to carry it out.
A certain archer who stayed near the battlements peeked under the city wall, only to see that the steel demon company, which was still imposing, was running away in all directions like a group of beasts that had been scattered.
"It seems that those devils are also afraid of death. β
He muttered again, but in the "boom" of artillery fire, even he didn't hear it very clearly.
Similar situations like this archer have occurred frequently in the city of Prosperity Town, and these mortals from different planes have discovered that the Batzu devils who they thought were extremely terrible were not fearless, at least they could dodge cannonballs.
And in fact, those steel demons are also depressed now.
Why are these alien planes in their camps equipped with a mass killing weapon like "Hell Roar", isn't this a weapon that can only be assigned to the fist troops on the front line of the bloody battle?
This doesn't make sense!
Of course, no matter how depressed he is at the moment, Captain Steel Demon will not be stupid enough to argue with the defenders of Prosperity Town. Because he knew that there was a saying in Bato's Nine Prisons - "The truth is within the range of the 'Hell's Roar.'"
He didn't run out of this range, and he had neither the qualifications nor the mood to reason with those hateful paddlers.
At the head of Boomtown, a full ten Hellroars were repeatedly reloaded, fused, and breeched.
In order to be able to deal more effectively with enemies in dense formations, Hellroar uses shotguns, as well as some chain-link bombs.
In front of this kind of weapon, the cold iron full-body plate armor that makes Steel Demon proud is no different from papier-mΓ’chΓ© armor.
The cannonballs whizzed by, and once they caught up with their target, they were torn apart and crumpled in an instant, leaving behind only a pile of twisted lead.
When it comes to escaping, it is the Barb Demons who have the upper hand, after all, they have a spell-like ability like advanced teleportation.
Some Steel Demon warriors are more intelligent, and they make full use of this ability of their allies - they use the cold iron greatsword in their hands to pierce two or three barbed demons, and coerce the other party to teleport away with them.
Perhaps because the enemy had retreated so quickly that most of them were out of range, or because the Hellroar gun was too hot and the frankincense-treated leather wrapped in it showed signs of cracking, after three rounds of fire, Naru ordered the gunner to stop firing.
"Now, those guys are no longer under your control, and I told you to move more quickly!"
The ogre man patted his head, and suddenly thought of something, so he happily picked up the ebony barbed chain beside him, turned over the head of Prosperity Town, and jumped down and ran in the direction of the retreat of the Steel Demon Company.
"Maybe, I'll be able to catch ......"
