Chapter 537: The Third Nocturne

In the moonlight, the music faded into obscurity.

Xia slowly opened her purple eyes and took a deep breath: "Isabella, the song is very good. ”

Isabella gently lowered the qin from her veil: "The name of the song is 'The End of Shijie', and a man once said when he taught me that even if the end of Shijie comes, he will be by my side." ”

"Really?" said the blonde princess with a cold smile, the coldness in her eyes that had just been dispelled by the music began to freeze rapidly, "Then you should also know that he said the same thing in my arms every time before he spoke sweetly to you. ”

The implication of this sentence is that what you eat is just leftover soup, Isabella's good-looking eyebrows couldn't help but pick, it seems that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not a fool, on the contrary, she understands much more than she imagined.

The intelligence chief, Sister Xiaoyi, rolled her eyes and sighed: "How can I compare with Her Royal Highness the Princess? Her Royal Highness the Princess is a winner regardless of victory or defeat, at least she can get a position for Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”

"There are only princesses who died in battle, and there are no queens who live in Xun. Xia Ya's purple eyes flashed a trace of determination, but she did not back down and fought back against her rival: "Speaking of death and life...... The resurrection of the mandala flower is the real good news for those wild bees and butterflies in the imperial capital. ”

You come and go, in the conversation of the needle tip to Mai Mang, the two women seem to be high-spirited, and there seems to be an invisible electric spark between the purple eyes and the blue eyes.

"It's already so late, if you don't go to bed, you'll have dark circles under your eyes, how can you seduce that man?" Isabella yawned and bowed slightly: "Then I'll retire first, Your Royal Highness the princess who is in good spirits." ”

After that, he ignored Sia and turned around and left.

"Isabella. ”

The footsteps wrapped in the cloak paused.

"The tune is good. ”

However, Her Royal Highness added very strongly: "I will let that guy play it for me dozens of times a day." ”

After the veil, the corners of his purple lips curled up slightly, and he didn't look back, and walked forward with lotus steps.

The sound of the piano in front of the tent is over, the music of the imperial capital is nearing the end, and in the west of the dark moon, another nocturne is quietly kicking off.

For a vast territory, the phenomenon of "ten miles of different days" is not uncommon, and there is no moonlight over the Xilang Mountains at this time, but dense dark clouds.

Flashing thunder faintly shone through the dense clouds, occasionally piercing the darkness of the night, and rain trickled down in the cold sweaty wind.

An army of five thousand men, led by Geraint, entered the territory of Darkmoon under the cover of darkness and raindrops.

This army is the elite of the headquarters brought by Geraint from the Sabertooth Legion of the Tekula Fortress, in addition to its outstanding combat effectiveness, it is more important to order and prohibit, and it is completely under the command of Geraint, and Sergei, the son of the second general Dorunrus, is also among them.

Sergei originally held an important position in the Red Demon Legion, but at a young age he reached a high-level demon, because of Athena's relationship, he killed the jealous Chancellor of the Exchequer's son Allen "by mistake", and was relieved of his post and sent to Tekula Fortress to become a personal guard under Geraint. After Sergei came to Tekura Fortress, he started from scratch, and after hard work, he had reached the middle stage of a high-level demon. This time I went to the dark moon with the team, and I also came with the determination to make contributions and turn over the battle, and I haven't played before, but now I finally have the opportunity to perform, and I am naturally refreshed.

The raindrops are getting heavier and heavier, and most of the rain in the demon world is a little acidic, even if the body of the demon is stronger than that of humans, it is not suitable to be in the rain for a long time, but the heavy rain in front of him has become the best cover for the surprise attack of the saber-toothed tiger army. ...,

"After this hillside, there is the Valan Fortress in front of you!" Geraint put away the glowing magic map, and the hand holding the Bloody Spear tightened, "Warriors of the Saber-toothed Tiger, the miraculous feat of defeating the Dark Moon is right in front of our eyes! Give those enemies who are still asleep a real nightmare! Before dawn, the banner of the Saber-toothed Tiger will be planted at the head of the Valan Fortress!"

The Valan Fortress is a medium-sized fortress built by Qishan, standing on the path to enter the Darkmoon Avenue, with a wide and narrow open space in front of it, and the terrain is like a shrinking pocket. This was not built for a long time, the rear of the fortress is the same newly built Valan Town, in view of the war going on in the north of Darkmoon, and the enemy is a powerful imperial capital coalition army, so many merchants of Darkmoon City have withdrawn, but they have not completely left Darkmoon, but have moved to Valan Town with a wait-and-see attitude, which has instead accelerated the development and construction of Valan Town, and has become one of the most important hubs for trade in the west.

Crossing the hillside, Geraint wiped the rain from his face, and looked at the fortress in front of him with soft lights, this time it was really blessed by the demon god, the rainstorm weather not only covered his whereabouts well, but also the terrifying magic crystal cannon of the dark moon would be greatly weakened in terms of accuracy and power.

With a finger of Geraint's bloody spear, the 3,500 infantry tried to contain their breath and sneaked towards the fortress, while the cavalry carefully kept their distance and followed. Geraint had been vigilant about whether the other party had set up an ambush, silently calculating the distance, until the army passed the effective range of the magic crystal cannon unharmed, and his heart was relieved, and he ordered the soldiers to speed up and prepare to assault the city.

At this time, Geraint's ears suddenly heard a strange sound of "snatching" in the rainstorm, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he shouted: "Defense!"

Unfortunately, it was too late, and by the time Geraint reacted, the unknown killing machine had already descended on the infantry of the Sabertooth Tiger Legion through the darkness, and judging from the screams, at least three hundred people had been lost.

Immediately afterwards, the illuminated light balls were thrown out by some kind of machine spring and scattered, illuminating the entire battlefield in front of the fortress in a flash. This is a magic item that is commonly used in night battles, and the light source can stay for a while.

Geraint's heart tightened, the enemy turned out to be prepared for battle!

It seemed that what killed his own soldiers just now was some kind of powerful arrow, but this distance was not possible even for the most powerful elven archer on the ground. The answer was soon revealed, the second round of launches at Valan Fortress had begun, and this time, Geraint had a clear glimpse of what that terrible weapon really was.

It is a giant "arrow" that resembles a spear. "Whether it is range, liliang or speed, it is extremely amazing, and the shields of the infantry are as fragile as paper in the face of this terrifying "arrow". A soldier was pierced by a man with a shield and nailed to the ground, and then, the spear exploded violently, bursting out countless small arrows, and the nearby soldiers screamed one after another, and many fell to the ground and died, as if the bursting arrows were still highly poisonous.

What kind of weapon is this! The power is terrifying! Geraint was shocked by the ballista? No, it's no ordinary ballista!

Due to the complexity of reloading and slow speed, the ballista has gradually faded out of the battlefield and has been replaced by the magic crystal cannon, and the weapons of the suspected ballista that appear in the Valan Fortress today have exerted far more lethality than imagined, almost subverting the common sense of ordnance in the demon world today!

Geraint's face was already covered with water droplets, not only rain, but also cold sweat: this terrible ballista had not been used in the previous battle with the Imperial Capital Alliance!

"The infantry dispersed!

Although the ballista was powerful, it was not enough to affect Geraint's determination to take the Valan Fortress, and he immediately issued an order. The cavalry quickly rushed towards the fortress, and another round of whistling sounded, and the time for the heavy crossbow to adjust and fire was quite fast, but this time the casualties were smaller, and there were not many direct hits, but the poisoned arrows that burst were still amazingly powerful, and many soldiers fell one after another.

The distance gradually narrowed, the fortress was full of arrows flying out, mixed in the heavy rain poured down, from time to time cavalry and horses fell, blood mixed with the rain was trampled, the cavalry held bows in their hands and crossbows fired back, attracting a group of firepower, and the infantry behind followed.

The lieutenant general beside Jayrante rushed to the front of Lakatos, and the long sword in his hand ignited a strong blue flame, chanting a spell loudly, and a whirlwind rushed towards the fortress, and the rain brought by the whirlwind became extremely cold, and many arrows that were blown crooked condensed into ice in the middle of the air, and fell to the ground one after another.

After a whirlwind, the walls of the fortress were frozen with a layer of hòuhòu ice, and many of the defenders were turned into ice sculptures. If it were a different shijie, it would be more difficult for the ice city to deal with the attacker, but here is a shijie with magic, and after the storm, a cloud ladder made of ice solidified appeared in front of the city wall.

Lactos is a mutated bloodline dark elf who cultivates both martial arts and magic, proficient in water and wind dual magic, and has the strong strength of the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and this amazing effect in front of him is mainly due to the advantage of the weather of the rainstorm. The saber-toothed tiger's infantry wore special gloves and nails on the soles of their boots, which were prepared for the arrival of the castle.

Unfortunately, before the saber-toothed infantry could get closer, the ice ladders began to melt rapidly, turning into jets of water that seemed to be toxin-applied, and the soldiers who were splashed screamed with green smoke.

Lactus frowned, this enemy who dissolves the ice ladder into venom is actually very clumsy in his use of muntjac mana, but his ability to control the water element is still above him, with such an enemy, it is only difficult to rely on magic to enter the city.

The sound of the bolted carts began to sound again, and the soldiers of the Sabertooth Tiger Legion fell one after another, and this radial terrain became narrower and narrower the closer to the fortress, it was quite unfavorable for the attackers.

A thought flashed in Geraint's heart, the enemy army was extremely well guarded, and it was extremely targeted, as if he was well aware of the saber-toothed tiger army's surprise attack, staffing and troop strength, could it be ......

Someone must have revealed all the information about the surprise attack to the enemy army!

It's a pre-set trap! a trap waiting for the Sabertooth Legion to plunge headlong into it!

Including Geraint himself, there are only three people who know the whole thing, one is the regent Hei Yao, and the other is ...... ,

Geraint couldn't help but shudder, he no longer had the luxury of taking the Valan Fortress, and now he only wanted to do one thing, and that was to escape! Even if he was condemned by defeat, he would expose the most terrible traitor!

"Withdraw! Immediately retreat to the town of Leia!"

Just as Geraint was retreating with the remnants of his troops, a group of black-pressed figures suddenly appeared, blocking the way.

From the light of the illuminated light ball, these enemies were tall and strong, wearing chain mail, holding heavy weapons such as axes, hammers, and flails in their hands, and the most peculiar head was the head of a bull.

"Minotaurs!" Geraint was taken aback, these minotaurs numbered at least two thousand, which was equivalent to a large race, and it was by no means accidental that they appeared here, could it be that in addition to Medusa and the Wyvern Legion, Darkmoon also had a Minotaur legion?

The Minotaur and Medusa are both highly intelligent magical beasts, and they can't be tamed like a two-legged wyvern at all, even if it is the entire Fallen Angel Empire, there is no such special class, and I can't imagine that Dark Moon has ...,

At this time, the gate of the Valan Fortress opened, and a large group of men and horses rushed out shouting, obviously to encircle on both sides and annihilate the saber-toothed tiger army here.

Geraint's heart sank, knowing that he was in a desperate situation, he raised the blood spear and turned into a battle form of a great demon, shouting: "Break through with all your strength!"

The cavalry raised their spears and bravely rushed towards the minotaurs who were blocking the way, and the minotaurs beat their chests and shouted loudly, and there was a strange red halo under their feet, and they met the cavalry with terrifying steps.

The cavalry who rushed to the front was about to stab the enemy with a spear, when suddenly a huge wolf's tooth hammer appeared overhead, "boom", before he could scream, the whole person and the war horse were smashed into a puddle of rotten meat, a similar scene was staged in the next moment, these minotaurs were amazingly strong in combat, and their equipment was unbelievable, the cavalry could not penetrate the silver chain mail on the minotaur with their horsepower.

"Lactos, open the breach as much as you can!, I'll hold back the enemy behind!" Geraint snorted, flicked the reins, and rushed towards the rear with his personal cavalry.

"Understood!" Laktors jumped up from his mount and floated in the air, his long sword tilted at the stormy sky, and several lightning bolts suddenly fell from the air, which were attached to the sword by the strange Liliang, Laktors raised the long sword wrapped with lightning and flew towards the bull-headed crowd, and slashed down with a volley.

All the bull-headed people within a radius of about twenty meters only saw the blue electric flash, and they were knocked away by the high-voltage current before they had time to resist, and the chain mail with super defensive power became an excellent conductor in front of the thunderbolt, and the bull-headed people who were shocked by the lightning fell to the ground, trembling all over, and lost their combat effectiveness. This is also because the minotaurs have an anti-demon physique, if they were ordinary demons, they would have turned into charcoal.

Laptos struck a blow and fell to the ground, about to cast his magic again, when Twilight sensed danger, turned back to the sword, sparks splashed, and staggered back a few steps. Behind it is a minotaur who is taller than an ordinary minotaur, holding a large axe and a giant shield in his hand, judging from his breath, it seems to be the mutant leader of the early stage of the Demon Emperor...... )
