Chapter 746: Dismissal
Castle of Waloch.
The walls are riddled with cracks and scorched by flames, and the crumbling turrets and fortresses bear witness to the fierce fighting of these days.
The outer walls of this fortress, known as the strongest in the Demon Realm, are quite dilapidated and look crumbling - in fact, the Valok Fortress has been in danger several times due to the almost frantic attacks of the bloody army in the past few days, but it has always stood still.
Not only because of the strong fortifications that had been in operation for many years, not only because of the command of General George, but more importantly, because of the flag flying on the Vallock Fortress.
Red Blood Flame Light Banner.
This royal banner that once followed the White Night Emperor in an invincible battle disappeared after the regent Obsidian came to power, and the granddaughter of the White Night Emperor, the eldest princess of the empire, Xia once again raised the once dusty royal banner and defeated Obsidian to ascend to the throne, and the Red Blood Flame Light Banner was redesignated as the Emperor's Banner.
Now this royal flag is flying in the sky above the Vallock Fortress, which shows one thing: the fallen angel Emperor Thea has come to the Vallock Fortress to supervise the battle!
The Valoch Fortress faced an extremely formidable enemy, and despite the beautiful victory in the first tentative battle, many hole cards had already been revealed, and the second and third rounds of attacks were extremely tough.
The bloody side adjusted its tactics and measures in a targeted manner, greatly weakening the lethality of the new weapons of the Vallock Fortress, and under the frenzied attack, the walls and fortresses on the perimeter of the fortress were severely damaged, and the attrition of the defenders also increased dramatically.
The forces of both the offensive and defensive sides are attrition at the same time, but if this continues, it will be quite disadvantageous to the defending side that has insufficient troops.
At this time, the arrival of Xia not only replenished the supplies and troops in time, but also made the morale unprecedentedly high, although these forces could not be compared with the six million elites of the Bloody Empire, but this is a fortress not a plain, due to the limitations of the terrain, the strength that the Bloody Demon can put into the attack at one time is also limited, so the two sides are still at a standstill.
The frequency of Blood's attacks did not stop with Thea's arrival, and a new wave of attacks began.
Xia did not stay in command of the big tent, but went to the front line of the city wall, which undoubtedly injected a shot of heart booster into all the soldiers.
The bloody army approached step by step, and the army at the front erected a special giant shield, forming a giant shield array. This giant shield was made of iron, heavy and huge, with wheels underneath for easy propulsion and brackets at the back, which required three soldiers to support and push. Although the giant shield makes the soldier's mobility decreased, the defense ability was greatly improved, even the bursting crossbow arrows fired by the ballista were difficult to penetrate, and the large area of protection could also block the bursting poisonous fragments.
The catapult behind the bloody fire has been structured, and it began to throw fire meteors at the Vallock Fortress, and the Vallock Fortress also threw stones to intercept it, and the consumption of stone bullets has been very large in the past few days, but fortunately, early this morning, a large amount of ammunition transported by the White Feather Lord Sikari has been in place.
After all, it is much more difficult to intercept the fire meteor than to launch a lot of huge rocks that have slipped through the net, and they flew towards the fortress in flames, and one of them came straight towards the castle tower where Xia was.
Thea's face remained unchanged as she continued to give orders to the Lamp Spirit Guards. The speed of the fire meteor was fast, but Stiller, who was beside Thea, made a faster move, and with a wave of his hand, the flaming stone slowly stagnated, and then flew towards the bloody army, smashing a charred hole in the giant shield array.
The stones and fire meteors in the air were whistling and flying, and the soldiers below also did not stop advancing, and soon crossed the moat that had been filled in the morning, approaching the city wall, this time there were twice as many siege equipment as the last time, and there were also legions of magicians who were specially protected by the giant shield These magicians were specially selected, good at fire magic, and the purpose was to eliminate the extremely destructive gluttonous vines of the Valloch fortress - the actual combat of the first two days showed that the gluttonous vines were most afraid of flame-type attacks.
A number of siege equipment were pushed up against the rain of arrows, although the defenders of the Vallock fortress had a geographical advantage, but the bloody use of the well car and bow and arrow counterattack was equally sharp, especially the well car, which was a great threat.
In the last wave of attacks, Bloody added a large number of siege engines, which were extremely threatening, almost breaking through the city walls, causing a sharp increase in casualties among the defenders. If it weren't for George's quick decision, he sent the most elite soldiers to form a death squad to destroy a considerable part of the siege equipment, and finally turned the tide, but those heroic soldiers all died and none survived.
The terrible siege engines were approaching again, this time apparently on guard against the tactics of the death squads, this time the bloody troops and siege equipment were more than the last time, under the fierce attack, the defense of the Vallock fortress gradually tightened, many bloody soldiers had already climbed the city walls, and the casualties of the defenders were also increasing.
At this moment, rows of Praetorian guards appeared in the rear of the defenders, all of them women, not only strong, annihilating all the soldiers who ascended the city, but also casting buff magic. The effects of these spells were far superior to those of ordinary magicians, and the defenders were immediately in high spirits, while the strange machinery of the new structure behind the fortress was ready.
"Whoosh ......"
A golden object was thrown out in the direction of the siege machine of the bloody army, and when it was about to hit the ground, the thing suddenly stretched out and turned into a human form. These figures are about two meters tall, and their bodies are made of metal that glows with a dark golden glow.
These metal figures were invulnerable, they didn't know what tiredness and pain were, and as soon as they landed, they began to exert their terrifying combat power, and they were invincible everywhere they passed. The magicians who had been preparing to deal with the death squads and gluttonous vines immediately launched a magical attack, but those high-temperature fireballs landed on the bodies of these metal humanoids, and they didn't even fall a trace.
The magicians were stunned by this scene, and they watched as the metal figures smashed down the siege machines and the giant shields crashed down.
This is the golden man invented by Laura, in addition to strong offensive and defensive capabilities, it also has super anti-demon attributes, the only drawback is the slow speed, but in the dense bloody army, this shortcoming can be ignored for the time being.
This batch of gold people is the secret weapon that Xia has at hand, a total of 3,000 bodies, assembled using the production line "invented" by Chen Rui, although it is not as powerful as the one made by Lola himself, but with the characteristics of immortality and anti-demon, it has played a huge role, but unfortunately due to the problems of time, materials and technology, the number of three thousand is already the limit.
"Damn, what's that thing?"
In the magic mirror of the command center of Black Cloud Town, Alius saw the siege vehicle destroyed by the golden man, and slapped his palm on the table, and the table suddenly fell apart.
He has already received the news of Thea's arrival, this time he has transferred a large number of siege equipment, and dispatched an elite army of magicians, just to defeat the defenders led by the Fallen Angel Empress herself.
However, the change in the situation of the battle was far unexpected, and the other side sent surprise troops to destroy most of the siege equipment - in the past few days, the losses of the bloody army have far exceeded expectations, and they still can't take the Vallock Fortress, you know, at the beginning, he boasted in front of his father Lei Chan that he had taken the Fallen Angel Empire within a month, but now he stopped at the first level of the Vallock Fortress.
If he fails again this time, Lei Chan, who is sitting in the rear, is only afraid of being extremely angry, and may even remove him from the post of commander-in-chief.
Alius had deeper concerns, and now that Edmund was dead, his rival was only the little prince Terese. Although Teres and his mother are compatriots, the brotherhood is deep, and Teres apologizes for him and helps him defeat Edmund, which can be regarded as the most effective assistant.
However, the last time Teris entered the dark oven to think about it, he inexplicably broke through the bottleneck and reached the level of the Demon Emperor, and the only weakness in the cultivation of this younger brother, who had been regarded as the first genius of the Demon Realm since he was a child, was also made up, and it became the biggest threat to the throne.
This time, Tereus was appointed deputy commander, and many of the tactics proposed were vetoed by Alius. Alius's purpose is obvious, to curb Terex's performance, and if he is removed from his post by Lei Chan for his poor performance, Teres will rightfully replace him as commander-in-chief.
Tris's military talent is extremely outstanding, once he takes the Valloch Fortress or even the entire Fallen Angel Empire, then his prestige and military exploits will far exceed that of his eldest brother, and the position of the heir of the empire will most likely fall on Tris.
There is only one throne, even if it is a brother, as long as it gets in the way, it must be completely shattered.
Teris was very thoughtful, how not to understand the eldest brother's thoughts, sighed, and did not persuade him. At this time, Alius saw that the bloody army in the magic mirror began to retreat, and was taken aback: "Who gave the order to retreat?"
"It's me. Gustav's voice rang out in the doorway.
"What authority do you have to order?" said Alius angrily, "I am the commander-in-chief!"
"Not anymore. Gustav took out a magic teleportation warrant, "I just received an order from Bixia to remove you from the position of commander-in-chief, and I will take over, ordering you to return to the imperial capital immediately." ”
"Impossible!" Alius snatched the warrant and listened to the familiar voice of his father inside, and couldn't help but be shocked, this moment came far earlier than he imagined, and it was a little unreasonable, "weishenme!"
Gustav said coldly: "Please carry out Bixia's orders, Your Highness." ”
"Brother Emperor, I'll go back with you. ”
Alius didn't expect that Teris was willing to give up the opportunity to earn war merits and accompany him back to the imperial capital, looking at his younger brother's serious expression, his eyes were a little complicated, he snorted coldly, and walked towards the door without looking back.
Teres and Gustav looked at each other, a faint smile on their faces.
In another place, Chen Rui sat on the sofa in the hall of the magic house, showing an anxious expression, since last night, he has not closed his eyes, because Catherine has begun to activate the fifth nirvana.
If it fails, there is only one result, ashes. (To be continued)
