Chapter 38: The Siege Demon
"Your Excellency, why don't you use artillery for a covering strike?" asked the question, again by war observer Ricknaz, who also replaced the weapons that the devils called "Hell's Roar" with a name he was accustomed to.
The Chain Demon didn't answer his question first, just made a calm gesture: "We have some more things to do before we can answer your questions." As he spoke, a chain wrapped around the chain demon shot out along the edge of the wall. An assassin who teleported into the interior of the camp and had already sneaked to the vicinity was pierced by the tip of the chain.
"Ahh
The Tanari don't have the idea of protecting their teammates, and if their comrades can escape with their lives, they will definitely be happy to do so.
However, he made a major mistake in his calculations, and he was not the first to be discovered, or even the first to be attacked. At the moment of the chain demon's attack, Quis drew his knife and cut off the head of an invisible creature that touched the vicinity, and the ogre Naru, who had already received his psychic message, had already used the chain to kill another small Babu demon.
As for the Assassin who was about to attack the goblin Ricknaz, he was crushed in the head by a mechanical warrior next to him - he was asking the Half-Golem Guards for some leather to wipe off the demonic protective slime that had rubbed against the Iron Fist.
"The guys who put the strong acid on their bodies are really tasteless. "The Mechanical Man Samurai seems to have a lot of opinions about this kind of demonic assassin because they have been corroded a little bit of the decorative pattern on their fists.
He also felt the same way as the Chain Demon, the chain he wrapped around was not as extravagant as the Mechanic - it was made of a large amount of Adamantite Mithril, so it was partially corrupted by the slime on the Babu Demon's body: "Who said it wasn't?" As if in response to Twenty-One's words, he casually shook the badly injured demon into the crowd of barbed demon guards who sharpened their knives below the city walls.
This is a small episode, and he has not forgotten Ricknaz's question.
"Lord Ricknaz, you must have seen that most of those Tanari demons are scattered fools. It's like the little bugs that just slipped inโmost likely they didn't come to assassinate the Great Demon at the behest of the Great Demon, but to succumb to their own low tastes and inferior nature.
In fact, if we were the first to use Hellroar โ forgive me, I have to correct your lexical error.
Who knows what will become of the Tanari army that has been hit by artillery fire, maybe they will continue to attack, they may scatter in a hurry, or they may use advanced teleportation to teleport directly, and the consequence of such a disorderly situation is that the efficiency of the Bato warriors in slaughtering these miscellaneous people will be forced to decrease.
This disorder is intolerable to anyone with insight. The Chain Demon couldn't help but be indignant when he said this, as if he was recalling some memories that he didn't want to look back on in his long years: "Therefore, all commanders who have experience in fighting demons will choose a wiser tactical approach,
First of all, let some demons come over for contact combat, with strict discipline, coupled with a solid fortress and sophisticated weapons, we can enter a stalemate battle form with those demons on the local battlefield.
This is the time for Hell's Roar to come into play, and the area covered by artillery fire can form an artificial barrier, and only a few demons can be replenished on the battlefield ahead. It's time for us to concentrate our elite forces and efficiently strangle the stupid demons who are still battling our defenses. Seeing that Ricknaz still had a questioning look, the Chain Demon patiently continued to explain in order not to offend the big man who had been arranged by the above: "
The ignorance and inferiority of the demons helped us a lot at this time, even if the low-level demons were already scared to death, but there was still killing and fighting ahead, and the remaining high-level demons would still lead or drive them forward - except for the moment when the axe blade was momentary, they always regretted that they couldn't catch up and enjoy the battle.
In fact, as long as we have the right tactics and pay attention to the retraction of the artillery separation zone at all times, we can easily destroy these demons in front of us.
This number of demon armies, like what I just mentioned, is just a small scene. โ
After listening to the words of the Chain Demon, Quis realized that the devil of Batzu had never used artillery as the main weapon of destruction. Judging by their tactics, they only use it as a kind of "safety valve" to regulate the demon's attack. This also explains a question that has been plaguing the blue dragon: how can this weapon deal with high-level demons with various teleportation spell abilities?
In this way, I am afraid that the Batzu devils will not have such a statement as "the truth is within the range of the cannonball", and for them it should be "the battle is within the range of the cannonball". With their unique tactical means, they have built a "meat grinder" that can efficiently slaughter the demons of Tanari!
Of course, the defenders who resisted the first wave of the demons' attack on the second wall in front of them would not have the same tactical and strategic thinking as Quest, and the biggest problem they faced was how to survive, or live a little longer.
With the approaching demon army, a large number of summoned cowardly demons appeared in the formation of the defending side, and the barbed demons who were originally overseeing the battle had to join the ranks of cleaning up these low-level demons. Some of the Exotope mercenaries with spell-casting abilities were unable to hide any longer, and they had to use the Wind Formation Numbers to dispel the yellowish clouds that the cowards had released that smelled of rotten eggs, and the stealthy Quwassai who were ready to launch a sneak attack with their toxin-infused claws into the distance.
Of course, this can only be called "trouble" compared to the demonic attack that followed. When the Berserker moves to the edge of the wall and begins to cling or teleport directly to the wall, the real crisis comes.
The first thing to bear the brunt of this was the unbearable stench, a hundred times that of the smell cloud technique that had just been released by the cowardly demon, which caused many of the heterotopic mercenaries who were very close to this filthy demon to fall directly into endless vomiting.
Standing in the back position, "broom eyebrows" Dalton was very happy. As soon as this kind of demon appeared, he quickly put on a mask with a protective poison gas enchantment effect that he had obtained when he had dominated Soft Maple City, otherwise he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to withstand the stench that drilled into his brain and appetite as soon as he entered his nose.
As for how lethal the stench was, Dalton saw with his own eyes a half-purgatory minotaur mercenary strong enough to wrestle with the monsters that climbed up, and was almost spit out his intestines while the totem pole was splashed in his face by the liquid from the guy's body.
While the guards fought bloodily in the outer city walls and the squares of the urn city, the camp's long-range support arrived, and the barbed demon guards standing on the higher walls were armed with weapons such as foot crossbows.
Unlike their counterparts in the Material Plane, the arms of the Hellbow are not made of wood or other composite materials, and the arms of the Hell's crossbow are made of extremely elastic steel, so even the devils with many stronger arms than mortals have to use foot pedals to complete the winding work.
Of course, the power of such a crossbow shot is also quite amazing. On the outer city wall, the defenders are attacked with spears like a berserker scratching their boots, and their lives are also at risk under the attack of dense crossbow arrows, and Flomo, who hovers like a vulture at low altitude and waits for an opportunity to harass him, cannot withstand a few such crossbow arrows, and can only dodge in the air.
For a while, the "clanging" sound of the bowstring stirring sounded around one after another, and during this time, there was also a barb demon centurion who presented a brand-new repeater because he saw the "superb archery" that Ques had previously shot with a crossbow to stealth and decoy demons, and this flattering act was ignored by the blue dragon boy without a trace - he turned his head and let the ogre Blue and Paru look at the brothers who were excited to go down and fight because they saw the big battle.
At the same time, Quest also noticed that the goblin nobles around him were writing down something as if they were struggling to write down something, and the half-golem guards behind him kept taking what he had written and presenting him with new blank pieces of paper for the repetitive work.
Mechanic Twenty-One leaned on the battlements in boredom, occasionally picking out the part of the fish-man's sacrificial heart with his hand, and then sneered a little as he watched the fish-man who couldn't make a sound because he was put on a sealer.
