Chapter 648 Battle of the Volcano (3)
"Not only is there little defense, but the huge stones there can also provide good cover for our soldiers, and the power of the dragon cannon will be greatly reduced here, and the Stygian Tower will not be able to be used at close range. Therefore, this place has a lot of dead ends for the defense side, which is really suitable for us to be the breakthrough of the main attack. Angel Warrior Pickup nodded in agreement.
"Then what are you waiting for? My men will attack first, and your troops will be in reserve, how about it?" asked the angel general, Red Tears, after that. Anyway, most of the troops under his command were borrowed, and as long as the 10,000 descendants of Red Tears were not lost, he didn't care about the casualties of the other troops?
"Alright, just do as you say!" said Angel Warlord Pickup very quickly.
Subsequently, the Angel Legion started again, still 200,000 troops, concentrated on the east side of Huoshan Mountain, and attacked collectively in batches. Before the dispatch, they were all blessed with spells by the angel generals, and their speed was much faster, and their defense and attack also increased to a certain extent.
At the same time, the two angel generals also used teleportation to approach the battlefield first, and then each used a forbidden spell-level spell, only to see that when they waved their hands, two waves of white light were emitted, like a surging tide, rushing up the mountain, until they were halfway up the mountain before slowly dissipating. These two waves of light were completely semi-liquid light energy, completely clearing the death canopy shrouded in the eastern hillside, and at the same time, leaving a lot of liquid emitting white light in the place where the light waves passed. The glow of the liquid, under the illumination of the light. The canopy of death that had come from elsewhere quickly dissipated. For a while, there was no black smoke from the death canopy on the east side of the volcano that could get close.
After casting the spell, the two angelic generals immediately teleported into the distance, and as soon as their front feet dodged, two powerful rays of dark light fell into the air on their back feet. It seems that the angels have fully grasped the weakness of the Stygian Tower. That is, when the joint attack is made, because it is necessary to gather enough energy, it is more delayed, although it is only a second or two slower, but it is enough for the angel generals to rush up, put two forbidden spells that are launched in an instant, and then flash people.
The skeleton warriors who were washed by the light waves of the angels withered one by one, and this was thanks to the iron protection, if there was no iron sheet, they could be directly burned alive by such a rich light energy. Although not dead now. But the strength has also dropped a lot. Thankfully, the undead don't have morale, otherwise it would have been terrible.
However, the morale of the Angel Legion is high. All of them are as fast as taking stimulants, and this time they are not using formations, but scattering and charging close to the ground, so as to avoid being killed with two birds by the Stygian Tower. And after rushing to the foot of the mountain. It is also possible to use those huge stones for cover. As a result, the angels suffered more than half the casualties when they hit the same distance compared to the last time, especially the fire from the dragon cannon. The effect is much worse.
After the two sides engaged, the true power of the Angel Legion was finally reflected, and first a guy dangled a shot to trick the more bulky steel giant. These stupid big men who were swept away by the light wave were much slower at this time, and it was difficult to hit the nimble angels. When their slashing action missed, the empty door was unconsciously revealed, and another angel who was ready to attack behind him would rush up as fast as he could, and plunge the weapon that had been prepared long ago with rich light magic into the eyes of the Iron Giant.
The skeleton warrior was covered in iron. However, in order to better observe the outside world, the glittering light in their eyes cannot be hidden, otherwise they are equivalent to half blind. This creates the only weakness in their body, and when they are hit, especially if they are stabbed by a weapon infused with light magic, the damage to the skeleton steel warrior is very fatal. Their dark souls are often directly destroyed by light magic. Thus leading to their complete demise.
As the Iron Giant fell in a scream, the angels began to advance fairly smoothly. However, when they advanced to the bottom of the Stygian Tower, the situation changed. The reason is that the mages on the Stygian Tower have descended from the tower, hiding behind the steel giants and constantly attacking the birdmen who rush up with spells, and their number is in the thousands. Unlike the Dragon Cannon, many of the mage's spells don't care about the terrain, such as the cloud of death, which is simply impossible to dodge by hiding behind a boulder.
This makes the angels have to make a helpless choice, whether to get out of the boulder where they are hiding and charge against the dragon cannon, or hide behind the stone and let the mage use a spell to bombard. Obviously, the birds clearly understood that the dragon cannon was far less terrifying than the mage, so they chose to charge, which was really a tragic scene.
From a distance, I saw a snow-white torrent, stubbornly charging towards the top of the mountain, black cannonballs fell on their side from time to time, blowing those snow-white flesh, along with wings, into flying pieces of flesh and feathers, and at the same time, all kinds of necromancy spells also fell on their heads all the time. Under the blow of the powerful necromancy, the angels even fell in pieces.
Of course, the birdmen are not vegetarians, they are charging, and they keep blasting towards the skeleton mage with light spells, and the light spears flying in the sky are really beautiful and surprisingly powerful. Although the skeleton mage is also a steel skeleton, and there is also a piece of skin wrapped in the outside, but in the absence of the death canopy, the power of the light spear is definitely not to be underestimated, almost more than two hundred smashes can break the skeleton mage's magic shield, and his steel body is also blasted into slag.
In such a situation, the two sides formed a situation of mutual attrition, and for a while, the battle line was stalemate near the Stygian Tower at the bottom of the volcano. At every turn, there were a large number of casualties on both sides. Although the casualties of the angels are much greater than ours, such a scenario is still very unfavorable to us.
You must know that the production speed of angels is perverted, as long as they are willing to spend the magic power of storage, it is very easy to produce hundreds of millions a day. But my skeleton mage, even the skeleton Iron Warrior. But they are all accumulated by hard work, and without hundreds of years of hard cultivation, they simply cannot meet the standard of being metallized by us. And the materials consumed by metallization are not comparable to the garbage equipment on the birdman. So it goes on like this. Even if we change one of us for ten seconds, we will suffer a lot.
So, our side immediately changed tactics. The Seventh Princess sent Kerry again. This time, Kerry imitated the spell of the two angelic generals just now, and created a pitch-black torrent, rushing down from the mountainside.
Kerry's cultivation is the true solution of Tianhe, and his own body is refined by the North Self with Xuanyin True Water, so he uses a dark attribute water spell, and the power is particularly perverted. It is better than the light wave of the angel general.
After this black flood rushed down, it directly swallowed up the liquid that emitted light, causing the death canopy to envelop this place again. At the same time, after the undead creatures are stained with black water, they are all refreshed, but if the birdman is stained, it is definitely directly corroded to death. After bearing the brunt of the blow, hundreds of birdmen were washed up by the black water, and they kept screaming. After two screams, there was no more sound. This made the birdmen behind them dare not touch it again.
The black water washed down the mountain and disappeared automatically, and it was only then that people were surprised to find out. All the places on the ground that were washed by the black water were very clean, and there was not a single corpse, only a single weapon. Soon, these weapons were completely obscured by the Death Canopy.
So everything turned out to be in our favor, and the energetic Iron Giant became fierce in his shots, and if the angels tried to induce them to make a move, they might have to pay a certain price, perhaps a wound. Maybe it's a life. The Skeleton Mage also suffered a significant reduction in casualties due to the weakened power of the opponent's light spear. Of course, the other party suffered a lot of casualties due to the increased magic power of the skeleton mage.
Although the angels relied on the huge advantage in numbers, they were still stubbornly pushing the battle line upwards little by little. However, the actual results achieved were not much, and most of the dead were iron giants, and the skeleton mages suffered fewer casualties because they always hid behind.
The progress of the angels was obviously disproportionate to their huge casualties, so the leaders behind them were very anxious about this, and they hurriedly sent two more angel generals to teleport to the battlefield, intending to repeat the old tricks, but unexpectedly suffered a loss this time. As soon as they appeared, before the instantaneous spell could be cast, all the people on the ground who could reach their Stygian Tower opened fire together. It doesn't accumulate at all, so you don't have to waste time. At this moment, hundreds of dark lights, large and small, smashed on each of them, directly beating them to the point that their hands and feet were broken, and they were scorched, and they tried their last bit of strength before they teleported back, but they were unconscious as soon as they came back, which shows how serious the injuries were.
With the lessons they had learned, the others were cautious again. They first found two people with artifact-level shields among the dozens of angelic generals and asked them to protect them, and the other two were responsible for casting spells. This time, two more spells were successfully released. But it didn't take long for us to move back into the first round, and the two sides were fighting over and over again on the eastern slope of the volcano. The spells of the heavenly realm prevailed, so they attacked a little more. As soon as we take advantage of us, we will immediately counterattack back, anyway, the battlefields on those three sides have been quiet, and we have each drawn a unit from the other three battlefields to the east to support, including more than 100,000 iron giants and tens of thousands of mages.
This kind of offensive and defensive battle similar to a meat churn lasted for two days, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Another 400,000 troops have been put in the Celestial Realm, and we have lost tens of thousands of people. However, the losses of our masters are very small, because we have almost no masters, quack, and naturally no sacrifices. However, the Heavenly Realm has lost more than twenty angelic generals in the past two days, half of them were directly shot on the spot, and no souls were left, and the remaining ones were forced to be sent back to the Heavenly Realm for treatment because their injuries were too serious. After all, they are playing with fire in front of the Super Stygian Tower, as long as there is a mistake, it will be either death or injury, and even those two shields will be shattered because they can't withstand the blows too often.
Two days later, the situation changed in a very favorable way for the celestial realm, and the human army led by the Pope finally arrived. That's an army of more than two million people. Their arrival brought a glimmer of victory to the Angel Legion, which had suffered heavy casualties for several days. Needless to say, under the order of the angelic warrior Red Tears, the Holy See army immediately entered the battle.
The troops led by the Pope this time, in addition to the people of the five legions of the Holy See and some of the Pope's descendants, also included 700,000 barbarian troops and 500,000 troops of the former Hofu Empire, as well as the troops of some other small countries. Obviously, in this kind of battle, which is obviously cannon fodder, it is absolutely impossible for the Holy See's headquarters to move. So the Pope ordered the barbarian troops and the troops of the original Hofu Empire, as well as those ragtag armies, to cooperate with the attack of the Angel Legion.
The Pope also shamelessly told them that as human beings, it is an incomparably glorious and sacred thing to be able to fight side by side with the great gods. It is a mission specially assigned to them by the Protoss, the purpose is to test their loyalty to the Protoss and their devotion to the God of Light, once they survive this test, they will have a chance to go to heaven after death.
The barbarians were stupid, and they were indeed very moved when they saw the birdmen rushing up one after another, so they were particularly energetic when they charged. As for the rest of the human race, they have always cherished life more than they love the gods, so they don't rush very hard, and even many people simply find a hidden place to sleep on the battlefield, without the slightest desperate heart. There is no way, the death canopy is too terrifying, who wants ordinary people to go in Ah Lu Even if he has been blessed by angels, he will not be poisoned by the poisonous gas inside, but the terrifying legend and terrifying appearance of the death canopy are enough to make them daunted.
Their performance was clearly seen by the leaders of the heavens, which made the angel warrior Red Tears very dissatisfied, and his dissatisfaction made the Pope feel very frightened.
