Chapter 507: Moonlight Fortress
Also the border of the Darkmoon Territory
Moonlight Fortress.
The Imperial Capital Coalition Army stared at this fortress that had existed since the time of the White Night Emperor from a distance, what is the concept of a million army? Standing on the fortress and looking out, what came into view was a black oppressive phalanx, all over the mountains, with almost no end.
Rao is the defenders of the Moonlight Fortress are well-trained, and their numbers have increased greatly, and in the face of the enemy troops in front of them dozens of times their own, they can't help but blow up their scalps.
If the enemy is allowed to crush it with all his might, I am afraid that the Dark Moon Army will not even have scum left.
The enemy had not yet attacked, but the hearts of almost every Darkmoon defender were heavy, and the palms of their hands were sweaty, like a bow, which became tighter and tighter under the tremendous pressure, and was in danger of collapsing at any time.
Of course, there are individual exceptions, such as...... A young lady dressed in black standing on the highest lookout.
"That's a lot of money!"
The girl looked at the endless enemy, and thought about the price that the employer had promised to destroy the enemy, and the Buddha saw countless black crystal coins everywhere, and her eyes lit up.
"If I fly over and shoot a few black dragon cannons at the crowd, will I be able to make a lot of money?"
"No, Olifits, this kind of battlefield is not trivial, and you must not underestimate the Liliang of the truly elite army. "If you really want to do this, then even if you make a little money, you won't be able to enjoy it." ”
"How can such a thing happen?" Olifeth was taken aback, "I can't even deal with these ordinary people?"
"Not exactly. A cold voice sounded, it was Loki, who had been Bai Luo's most powerful subordinate and the deputy commander of the Shadow Empire's Jego Fortress, Loki was very experienced in the defense of the fortress, and became the staff officer of this defense. Athena studied under her father, General George, and was originally a master of defensive warfare, and with the assistance of Loki, this time it can be regarded as the strongest command lineup of Dark Moon.
"The army of the ordinary territory is not enough, and the elite legions of the ordinary imperial capital have the means to deal with the strong, that is, to activate special magic tattoos, consume life potential, and cast some kind of combined special magic formation. This kind of magic array can contain and delay the number of high-level powerhouses, the larger the number of liliang, once Lord Oliphiss is contained, and the Demon Emperor with the same strength as the adult sneaks up on the side, then the adult is likely to be in danger. ”
Nesta added: "This method is not a panacea, and there are also great limitations, such as the last time the Demon Legion was ambushed and the Snake Legion was attacked by fire, it was still the result of annihilation. In fact, this is a simulation of the ground shijie's tactics, the human combat power of the ground shijie is generally lower than that of our demons, and the same is true for the high-level powerhouses, but their formation is very mysterious-, much stronger than the demon world, and sometimes they can even play several times the attack and defense liliang, and every time we fight with humans, we suffer a lot of losses in this regard. Later, the Demon Realm also began to delve into this kind of formation, such as the Demon Shadow Charge of my Demon Shadow Legion. Although the Demon Realm is also a little successful in this regard, it is still far inferior to the level of human shijie, and only some truly elite legions have the ability to compete with the strong. ”
"The strong people in the Imperial Capital Alliance are also unwilling to rush forward easily, they are also afraid of being pinned down and attacked, for example, if the enemy army comes to a peak Demon Emperor, even if Pagliu is not here, as long as this Demon Emperor is contained by the magic array or our army, even if it is Olifes, he can inflict heavy damage or even kill the other party. Athena actually didn't say a word, high-level powerhouses are rare "resources", and they will never be easily scooped up as cannon fodder, the more critical the chess pieces, the more they can be used at critical times
Olifeth nodded as if she didn't understand, but the people next to her understood that in a war of this scale and grade, it was no longer possible for one or two strong men to easily kill the Quartet and dominate the entire battle. ..., of course, the strong are the strong, and it is undeniable that when dispatched at the most appropriate opportunity, it can still play a huge role or even turn the tide of the battle.
Since the terrain in front of the Moonlight Fortress was not a complete plain, the army of the imperial capital was not in a hurry to attack, and was further adjusting the formation in order to facilitate a large-scale attack.
Numbers are an advantage, but on the other hand, they are also more difficult to command, especially the armies of the lords, and the former army commander Geraint quickly commanded through the heralds:
"A little faster on the right flank!"
"Former Army Ordnance Brigade, immediately measure the distance and prepare to set up the magic crystal cannon!"
"Goblin Legion, assemble and inspect the catapult!"
Just as the coalition forces began to set up the magic crystal cannon, several clusters of red light suddenly erupted from the walls of the Moonlight Fortress, and then the ground began to tremble violently, boom!
Some catapults and magic crystal cannons in the front row that had not yet been fully erected were torn apart under the impact of this terrible power, and not only that, but several huge holes instantly appeared in the phalanx of the front army, and at least 2,000 people were killed in this round of bombardment.
Dark Moon's Crystal Cannon!
Geraint was taken aback, the range was so far!
&nb
sp; The magic crystal cannon brought by the imperial capital is already the most advanced in the current demon world, and it has also been improved by the master of the weapon, and it is erected in this position, which is to use the advantage of range to first bombard the moonlight fortress like a dismount, I can't imagine that this advantage has become a disadvantage in front of the dark moon magic crystal cannon, where did the dark moon come from such a terrible weapon!
Those phalanxes that were hit were stunned by this round of magic crystal cannon bombardment, and they immediately became a mess after reacting.
"The front army will immediately retreat a hundred meters! Keep in formation! Don't mess up!" Geraint shouted loudly, and the herald began to beat the drum to command, but many of the front army were lords' troops, far less well-trained than the Imperial Capital Legion, especially when the second section of the Moonlight Fortress began to bombard, they only knew that they were desperately retreating, and the army behind them could not retreat, and they were squeezed and trampled on each other, if it wasn't for Geraint's quick decision and ordered the law enforcement team to kill some of the soldiers in the chaos, the phalanx of the front army almost collapsed.
In contrast, the direct legions of the imperial capital were much calmer, maintained their formation, and finally retreated to a safe position.
The second-stage bombardment of this round of magic crystal cannon raised the suppressed morale of Dark Moon again, and a sound of excitement came from the Moonlight Fortress.
"You know how powerful Dark Moon is!"
"Look at the stupidity of these imperial capital grandsons!"
"The general is right, it's just a rabble, and there are many people who have a fart!"
Seeing the soldiers reinvigorated, Athena and the generals felt a little more relieved, but they didn't dare to relax at all, the magic crystal cannon is not omnipotent, the range is relatively fixed, especially the ability to attack enemies at close range, although the improved magic crystal cannon is powerful, the cooldown time is longer, which means that it is impossible to launch effective attacks continuously.
In the big tent of the Chinese army on the hillside, Obsidian frowned when he saw this scene from a distance, the power of the Dark Moon's magic crystal cannon was unexpected, but most of these lost troops were lord coalition forces, which were originally used as cannon fodder in Jihua.
Finally relining the formation, Geraint knew that his morale was frustrated, and the strategy of wanting to use the magic crystal cannon to give the opponent a blow in the head was obviously unusable, but the whole battle had only just begun.
Geraint condensed Liliang and shouted: "Do you see the little fortress on the other side? Do you see those weak walls? The rebels of the Dark Moon just cowered behind it and trembled! They could only shrink back, because in the face of our absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a powerless trick, and we only need one foot per person to be able to raze this fortress to the ground! Coalition soldiers, tell me, tell His Royal Highness the Lord Regent who is watching us behind, can you level this small fortress? ”...,
"Yes, yes, yes!" The frustrated spirit of the former army just now became high again under the encouragement of Geraint, and they all stepped on the ground with their feet, and struck their shields with their weapons, and the sound resounded throughout the battlefield, which was very amazing. Obsidian looked appreciative and bowed slightly.
This momentum brought a lot of shock to the defenders of the Moonlight Fortress, but soon, the Moonlight Fortress sounded louder and more ...... Strange sound - the barking of the demon dog.
Dog barking?
The soldiers on both sides were stunned at the same time, what is this?
Listening closely, this bark was a little vague, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of talking, and everyone could hear that it was actually the morale-boosting words of Gerant, and the rhythm and tone were simply vivid.
"Dogs that bite don't bark, warriors of the Dark Moon, are we afraid of these dogs that only bark?"
"Don't be afraid!" Amid the laughter, a neater voice came from the Moonlight Fortress.
A smile appeared on Athena's face, this guy Lomont really has a hand of gag nonsense to counteract the momentum of the enemy army.
Geraint was angry in his heart, but his face remained cold, and he gave the order to attack: "The first army formation and the second army formation are attacking in columns! Keep a distance, don't be afraid of the opponent's magic crystal cannon, as long as you rush through the firing range, the magic crystal cannon will be useless! Only if you move forward can you live! There is merit! There is a reward! There is only one way to retreat! There is only one way to die if you go back! Attention to the law enforcement team, those who are cowardly and retreat will be killed!"
The first army formation and the second army formation are all lord armies, and several lords know that they are cannon fodder, but they are also helpless, Geraint gave the order, the cowards were killed, and the obsidian regent was watching from behind, so he could only grit his teeth and rush forward with the army.
The soldiers are not particularly afraid, whether they are humans or demons, when they integrate into a large team, they are easily infected by the atmosphere, especially when they are full of incitement, they will give birth to a feeling of invincibility, which is morale.
"Kill!" the two phalanxes scattered into several columns, shouting in the rushing dust and rushing towards the Moonlight Fortress.
"Here we go. Obsidian said, his seemingly calm eyes flashed with a little eagerness, as long as he destroyed the dark moon in one fell swoop, he would not only be able to relieve the biggest trouble, but also solve the dilemma he faced before.
"It's finally begun. In the palace of Darkmoon City, Sia said the same, quietly staring at the crystal ball.
"No. 1 Magic Crystal Cannon Team, launch!"
"No. 1 Magic Crystal Cannon Team 2, launch!"
At Athena's order, several balls of light erupted in batches and smashed down on the battlefield, countless exaggerated pits appeared, and the soldiers within the power range were instantly blown into powder, and there were many people with stumps and broken arms nearby, which was unbearable, but the rest of the people still advanced fiercely in the shouting of killing. Due to the scattered formation, the losses were much lower than before.
The stronger the magic crystal cannon, the longer the cooldown, Geraint calculated the cooldown time of the Moonlight Fortress magic crystal cannon from the previous two launches, and now that the opponent's magic crystal cannon has just been fired, it will definitely not be usable, just take this opportunity to send a stronger army.
"Wizard Legion, bless speed magic! The Third Army Formation and the Demon Costume Legion are dispatched!"
The combat effectiveness of this wave is stronger than that of the first wave, especially the magic legion is equipped with siege ladders and large shields, which can effectively resist the enemy's arrows, plus speed magic makes up for the weakness of poor mobility, and will be a sharp weapon for close combat and siege warfare.
Just as the third army formation and the demon army were advancing rapidly, several white rays of light erupted from the female wall of the moonlight fortress, if the previous red flame magic crystal cannon was a parabolic shot, then the white pillar of light in front of him was a straight line, like a devastating giant sword, cutting straight into the enemy formation, and it was still moving slowly, and the enemy troops along the way had no time to resist or dodge, they were dissolved into particles and dissipated, and the second round of rushing military formations cleared out a few fan-shaped. ..., "Damn!" Geraint didn't expect that Darkmoon had another magic crystal cannon, and it was also very terrifying, he originally thought that this battle would definitely be resisted by Darkmoon, but he didn't expect that this bone was more difficult to gnaw than he imagined, and before he touched the Moonlight Fortress, his own side had already suffered a lot of losses. In any case, there is now a situation in which there is no advance or retreat, and there can be no hesitation.
Although the Crystal Cannon eliminated many soldiers, as Gerante expected, once it crossed the range, it could not be effective, and the coalition forces that rushed through the death line rushed towards the fortress with great vigour.
Although the magic traps and magic arrays along the way played a role, they were filled in by the crowd tactics in an instant.
Loki calmly watched the approaching enemy, secretly calculated the distance, pointed at the long sword in his hand, and the herald immediately signaled, behind the wall lined up, several rows of archers opened their bows in unison, and began to shoot arrows into the air in turn, throwing!
These archers are all equipped with the wrenches "invented" by Chen Rui, and the speed of the arrows is very fast, and the rain of arrows in the sky is pouring down from the fortress, and under this indiscriminate range of blows, the allied forces of the imperial capital at the forefront have fallen to the ground.
On the female wall of the fortress, there are graceful female figures holding bows and arrows and carrying giant quivers, where "graceful-" refers to the upper body, and the lower body can only be described as "meandering" - Medusa warriors!
This group of Medusa Thousand was originally a member of the Moon Shadow Legion, but this time it was transferred, Loki snorted, and the Medusas, who were all dressed in light armor, pulled their bows in uniform movements, aimed at the target and launched out. The Medusa's archery skills are among the best in the entire demon world, especially enhanced by Devil Fruits, which can take almost a life with every arrow.
However, the number of coalition forces is extremely large, and many people have approached the city wall under the rain of arrows, especially the Demon Legion, relying on the cover of the big shield and Chongkai, blocking a lot of arrows, and one siege ladder after another, it seems that the city wall is about to be erected.
Suddenly, countless giant thorny vines sprang up on the ground, and the terrifying plants were entwined and intertwined, growing and spreading rapidly, like giant snakes, entwining the approaching siege ladders and enemies.
The vine liliang is powerful, and it seems to have some special attribute, and even if the entangled enemy is not shattered like a siege ladder, it will quickly lose its resistance and be strangled.
What made the coalition forces even more shocked was that the severed parts of this terrible plant were still able to regenerate, and there was an endless stream of Buddhas.
Guardian vine – a large protective plant. Attributes: Regeneration, Stuna, Restraint. Germination begins after 10 seconds after sowing and matures for 24 hours, can grow in any quality of soil, and automatically attacks hostile mobs, and the degree of hostile attack can be adjusted.
