1124. Battle of the Fortress
The two wolf orc knights helped Surdak retrieve the spoils of the battlefield, and the strong orc gave Surdak a thumbs up to show his admiration.
Although the two sides could not communicate in terms of language, they were still able to figure out some things with gestures.
Obviously, the wolf orc officer admired Surdak's ability to kill a demon scout, two hellhounds, an evil eye and two flame Goge under the pursuit of a demon scout team, this combat power is estimated to be something that few people can do even in the wolf cavalry army.
The orc tribe has always respected the strong, and seeing that Surdak was covered in injuries and still resisting desperately, he very much agreed with his approach of treating death in battle as glory.
The wolf orc praised Surdak harshly, but Surdak didn't understand it at all.
Seeing that Surdak was wounded, a wolf orc took the initiative to let his silver-maned wolf brother out and let Surdak ride on it, while the wolf orc rode a giant wolf with his companions, and the group hit the road again, walking through the swamp towards the north.
Along the way, the wolf orc team continued to explore the surrounding area, until they came to a fork in the road, and Surdak also saw a line of imperial text and a line of orc text on the landmark sign at the fork in the road, which was considered to be understood, and they had come to the boundary of the garrison area divided by the orc tribe and the Grimm Empire on the battlefield.
The wolf orc officer pointed to the border of the Grimm Empire and said a few words, and then thought that Surdak didn't understand at all, so he took out a simple map of animal skins, and the orc werewolf pointed to the symbol of a fortress on the map, and then pointed to Surdak's chest, and then he pointed in another direction, and then pointed to himself, such a simple sign language let Surdak know what to do next.
At the same time, he could finally determine the area he was in now, but he didn't expect to be teleported to the west of the middle of the neutral zone Black Rock Mountain, and walked out of the Black Stone Ridge in a straight line to the north, just entering the territory of the wolf orcs.
I didn't expect this teleportation to send myself so far.
If it weren't for Aphrodite's summoning circle, it would be really difficult to get out of the Black Rock Mountain safely surrounded by the Hell Mantis.
Surdak gestured again, asking the wolf orcs if they had seen anyone else along the way, such as human warriors, half-elf archers, two-headed ogres and other lone ones, those wolf orcs seemed to understand, and they didn't seem to understand, in short, in the end, they shook their heads again and again.
Although they had a faint sour smell on them, they were very enthusiastic about Surdak along the way, until Surdak went on the road alone, and the group of orc wolf riders waved their hands in the distance, and then rode the silver-maned wolves into another big road, these silver-maned wolves ran much faster than war horses, and when they ran on the road, they were like undulating wavy lines, or a beating symbol.
On the battlefield, these wolf knights can not only kill enemies, but their mounts are also their closest companions, and they can also exert a lot of combat power on the battlefield.
Wearing a Goethe's shield and a broadsword at his waist, Surdak walked along the road to the north.
……
From a distance, I saw the flag fluttering on the fortress, which was the flag of the Grimm Empire, but some other flags Surdak couldn't tell which Grand Duke of the Grimm Empire was the flag.
These flags are varied, and it doesn't seem that the second-rank powerhouse of a province is stationed here.
Unfortunately, standing at the bottom of the hillside, from Surdak's view, only the banner from the top of the fortress could be seen.
The slope was not very high, it was overgrown with alfalfa and wild onions, as if it had just rained, and the soil under your feet was full of moisture, and if you stepped into the grass, you would get some oily black dirt under your boots.
Surdak faintly heard a shout of killing, which reached Surdak's ears, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the entire land, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in Surdak's heart.
He quickly climbed to the highest part of the slope, and the battlefield in front of him happened to be the fortress that the Grimm Empire said to occupy, rows of constructed knights holding heavy knight spears, countless halos lit up under the feet of the war horses, and rows of constructed knights rushed towards the demon army that was gradually approaching the battlefield,
The archers of the whole team behind raised their longbows, and the arrows of all the archers carried elemental streamers, and the rain of arrows pierced the sky, falling into the camp of the demon army one after another, and instantly burst out with clusters of elemental flames.
Surdak didn't expect that when he appeared on the battlefield, these knights and archers would all be formed by second-turn powerhouses.
Several magicians standing at the head of the city also mounted the magic handles and rose into the air at the same time......
On the opposite battlefield, countless demon warriors also spread their meat wings behind them, these meat wings usually can't make their heavy bodies float in the air, and if they want to float, they need to burn the black demon qi stored in their bodies, so these demon warriors with wings on their backs will not easily float to fight even on the battlefield.
The armor on their bodies seemed to be naturally formed, and almost all of them held square blades in their hands.
Under the constant flapping of the flesh wings behind them, their bodies became very light, and when they ran, they could cross more than ten meters with each step, and they were covered with heavy armor with spikes on their shoulders, and both sides were almost charging with all their strength on the battlefield.
The succubus commanded the hordes of flame Gog to stand at the back of the line, and they also threw fireballs into the middle of the battlefield.
It's just that these fireballs are somewhat unreliable, many of the fireballs are exploded in the military formation of the demon warriors, and those demon warriors seem to be accustomed to it, and those fireballs don't seem to be able to hurt these demon warriors at all.
A row of evil eyes stood alongside several succubi with long whips in their hands, and they had slowly risen into the air at this moment, approaching the battlefield ahead.
The magic pattern structures on the constructed knights were completely lit up one by one during the charge, and the spears in the hands of these second-turn knights also burst out with a light several feet long, and the black-scaled horses under them seemed to merge with their bodies, and the moment the cavalry rushed into the army of demon warriors, the demon warriors in front of them were suddenly pierced through the bodies by the assembled knights.
And these knights also discarded the knight spears that had been inserted into the body of the demon warriors, pulled out the long swords at their waists and slashed forward one after another.
The knights behind will continue to advance from the gap between them, and the demon warriors can't resist the frontal charge of the constructed knights, and the demon army is rushed open by the constructed knights from the center, and countless demon warriors with wings on their backs have ignited black flames, floating from the ground, and fighting with the constructed knights on the battlefield.
Behind the Constructed Knights, the Construct Knights also appeared in the shadow of the 'Momentum', and then these 'Potential' also merged with them, and each Constructed Knights became more powerful.
The flames of war spread throughout the battlefield......
At this moment, on a slope directly opposite Surdak, a large group of demon warriors suddenly poured out, and they took advantage of the construction knights in the fortress to attack, and this group of demon warriors all flapped their wings and rushed down the side hillside, rushing along the fortress wall to the fortress gate.
The bed crossbows on the fortress wall turned their direction one after another, and frequently fired magic arrows, these giant crossbow arrows with magic aura, instantly caused certain casualties in the demon army that rushed along the city wall, and almost all the demon warriors who were killed by the giant crossbow arrows were nailed under the fortress wall.
Several archmages guarding the city wall landed on the top of the city one after another, and they began to chant the same incantation at the same time, and five or six meters tall fire spirits appeared behind several people at the same time, and these fire spirits raised their hands to gather a large amount of fire elemental power from the air and pour it into the archmage's body.
Surdak had seen this magic, and Archmage Harper had used it to deal with the hellhounds on the cliffs in the northern canyon of Mount Myra.
Now several archmages actually joined hands to perform this group of magic, and a large cloud of fire condensed over the fortress, and then a large rain of fire fell on the heads of the demon army like eyes.
The second-turn archers who were at the rear of the army also retreated to the fortress gate at this time.
A moment later, these powerful second-turn archers stood on the city wall one after another, shooting a rain of arrows at the demon army that rushed from one side, and the arrows wrapped in elemental power fell one after another, instantly causing those demon warriors who were passing through the fire rain to fall under the city wall one after another.
A demon general with a halberd in his hand dragging a fat tail, he stood in the wave of the demon army, his body was quite like a dragon servant, the body was fiery red, with hands, feet and a huge tail of humanoid monsters.
He raised his halberd in his hand like a huge shovel in the demon army, and the other demon generals in the army also raised their halberds in their hands when they saw this scene.
The war halberd shot out a beam of black light towards the sky, and this black light only spread out in the air at a height of seven or eight meters, and suddenly formed a huge umbrella-shaped black light shield, and dozens of black light shields spread out above the heads of these demon armies, immediately resisting the rain of fire and elemental arrows falling in the sky.
Sparks were constantly sputtering from the black reticle......
The walls of the fortress were a hundred meters long, and these demon warriors did not intend to climb the mottled walls, but rushed directly to the city gate.
The gates under the walls of the fortress did not close as quickly as Surdak had expected.
At this time, a team of second-turn warriors and knights rushed out of the fortress, but whether it was a warrior or a knight, they did not have war horses, and they were guarding the city gate.
This fortress controlled by the Grimm Empire, the high walls seem to have been beaten by the demon army.
The city was full of second-turn archers, and a group of demon warriors had already rushed to the gate of the fortress, and were blocked by a group of warriors and knights mixed battle group.
The knights on the battlefield outside the fortress did not have to turn the knight spears in their hands and rush back because the fortress was attacked by the demon army head-on, and their ranks frequently burst out with long spears, piercing the bodies of those demon warriors who were floating in the air into huge holes.
The Constructed Knights continued to charge with all their might towards the main battlefield of the Demon Army......
And the side of the fortress gate was also caught in a bitter battle, a large meteor rain fell from the sky, and the black light shield that had supported the demon generals turned into a sea of fire.
A team of second-turn archers on the city wall replaced the Demon Breaker Arrow, a magic arrow that could break through the black light shield.
The bed crossbows at the head of the city were also pushed out by the archers, and at this time, the pitching frame of the bed crossbows was being adjusted, aiming these bed crossbows at the demon generals who had opened the black light shield in the military formation.
The flames of war almost spread to the fortress, and when Surdak heard the shouts of killing on the battlefield, he rushed to the top of his head with a blood in his body, and regardless of where he was, he carried the Goethe shield on his shoulders and rushed down the hillside along the city wall.
There were no demon warriors in this area, and his feet lit up with a 'power aura' and he ran quickly along the edge of the city wall.
He was wearing a demonic pattern armor, holding a shield to block the meteor rain falling from the sky, and actually rushed directly to the battlefield at the city gate.
A warrior held a silver spear with a demon pattern in his hand, stabbed the wings of the demon warrior, pulled him from the air to the ground, raised the war spear in his hand and just wanted to stab him to death, a demon warrior on his side swept down from the air, and instantly pounced on the spear warrior, and the black claws pressed the shoulders of the second-turn warrior.
The demon warrior in the back, whose wings had been pierced, got up from the ground, and the blade in his hand stabbed towards the spear warrior's heart......
Surdak had already arrived closer, and his body flew over, holding the Gothic shield in his right hand, and the shield blocked the demon warrior's full stab, and the broadsword in his hand also slashed at the pair of sharp claws that held down the spear warrior.
A layer of black flame ignited on the claws of the demon warrior, but the broadsword in Surdak's hand burst out with a faint layer of holy light.
The broadsword with the holy light sliced into the strong arm, and in an instant, the two forearms were severed by Surdak.
Surdak then fell to his knees, his Goethe's shield once again in a standard defensive stance, blocking the blade behind him with all his might.
A layer of divine shield erupted from the shield again......
The knight with the spear in hand took the opportunity to kick away the severed hand demon warrior who was pressing on his body, rolled and got up from the ground, and took advantage of the demon warrior to wail in severe pain, and made up a spear in his heart.
Then a Valkyrie Phantom with a war spear appeared behind him, and when the demon warrior slashed Surdak with all his might, the spear stabbed three stabs, stabbing three blood holes in the body of the demon warrior who had broken one of his flesh wings.
The demon warrior was covered in black flames and fell in an unwilling roar.
The spearman took the opportunity to extend a hand to Surdak, who took the large hand and was pulled up from the ground by the spearman.
"Thanks!"
The spear warrior said to Surdak in a deep voice.
Even if he is a second-turn powerhouse, life and death on the battlefield are only a thought.
