Chapter 736: The Final Battle

The demon army is coming to the city!
Since the establishment of the Titan Empire, Yanjing Spark has stood in the northern steppe for nearly a thousand years, and there has never been a situation where the enemy has attacked under the city walls, so it has inevitably caused a panic in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Many commoners and even nobles regretted that they did not flee to the south earlier, and the food and other common necessities in the city immediately skyrocketed several times, and people rushed to the streets to buy all the supplies, many shops were directly crowded, and some hooligans and thugs took the opportunity to make trouble, and even the patrols of the city guards were a little unable to suppress them.
Fortunately, Prince Hearst issued an order in time, dispatched a group of troops to maintain law and order, ruthlessly killed any troublemakers, and on the other hand, strictly ordered the merchants not to increase prices at will, and finally curbed the turmoil in the city.
In this turmoil, the demon clan lurked in Yanjing and the demon dog made waves, but under the severe blow of the internal security forces controlled by Han Fei, a group of deeply hidden lurkers were dug out and immediately beheaded after a little interrogation, helping to stabilize the situation.
The number of demon armies has increased one after another, and batches of demon warriors have been transported by sea, threatening the rear of the Sauron Legion in the north, shocking the cities of the Titan in the south, and forming an encirclement of Yanjing Spark.
In just two days, the number of besieging demons swelled to more than 100,000, and they set up a large camp on the plain that stretched for more than ten miles, and huge siege vehicles and catapults were quickly assembled.
In contrast, the reinforcements of the alliance army did not come so quickly, Spark is located at the northeast top of the Nine Heavens Continent, and it is also thousands of miles away from the nearest human city, in the case of the sea route being cut off, only the air cavalry force can reach it quickly, and the real main reinforcements are still far away, and there is not enough time to rush to Spark.
No one expected such a situation, the three clans sent a total of nearly one million reinforcements, originally thought that with the military strength of the Titan Empire, it was enough to form an overwhelming numerical advantage over the demons, but the result was to underestimate the strength of the demons, and the two main forces fell into the western and northern fronts and could not extricate themselves, causing the Sparks to be surrounded.
The strategic intentions of the demons are very obvious, they use the power of the Western Front and the Northern Front to drag the main force of the Alliance Army, and then strike a fatal blow to the Sparks, as long as the Sparks fall, first of all, the Sauron Army in the north will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy, and the main force of the Western Front will also lose the base camp in the rear, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Once the Sparks are captured, the demons will occupy half of the Titan Empire, and then they can calmly organize the army to break the alliance army, and it will be useless for the alliance to rush over with reinforcements.
It is precisely because of this that whether the Sparks can defend or not has become the key to deciding the fate of the continent, and Sauron, who is still engaged in a tug-of-war with the demons in the Heterson Fortress, learned about the situation of the Sparks, and sent back the most severe order, to hold Yanjing at all costs, and hold on until he returns victoriously or reinforcements arrive.
The demon side did not give the alliance army much time, and on the morning of the third day when the army arrived under the Spark City, tens of thousands of demons launched a tentative attack on the Spark.
Woo!
The sound of a low and majestic trumpet spread throughout the plain, the gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, and the entire Spark City was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of war.
The massive defensive barrier that enveloped the city slowly rose, and the hundreds of wizard towers of all sizes standing in the city emitted a faint glow, and all of them entered a state of battle.
The attack of the demons came very quickly, and they were led by the Aerial Legion and the Demon Crystal Shuttle, and the first to attack was not their strong infantry warriors, but the Legion of Magicians.
In a very short period of time, a huge elemental storm appeared in the sky above Spark City, and the elemental turbulence formed by countless spell bombardments could not stop impacting the defensive barrier, bursting out with incomparably brilliant sparks.
The magicians of the demon clan did not skimp on their magic power in the slightest, and under the guidance of more than a dozen ** masters, thousands of magicians used all the spells they were best at.
This is the usual method of the demon mages to attack the city, they use a wide range of spell attacks to try to find the weak point of the Spark city defense circle, once they find the weak point, they will carry out an all-out onslaught, even if they can't break through the defense, the wizards guarding the city will be overwhelmed, unable to support the battle on the front line.
However, although the attack of the Demon Magician Legion is huge and terrifying, as the heart of the Titan Empire, the defense system of Spa City has been strengthened after hundreds of years of development, where can it be so easily broken.
Under the attack of thousands of magic and even forbidden spells, the defensive circle that protects the entire city is immovable, and all the attacks have arrived, and the wizards in the wizard tower are not only satisfied with passive defense, they skillfully use the attack gap of the demon mage legion, from time to time to open up attack channels, and use the powerful ability of the wizard tower to attack the magicians in the sky.
After losing dozens of empty horsemen and mages, the demon mages finally did not dare to get too close to Spark City and attack recklessly.
At this time, the ground legion of the demon clan was finally dispatched, and hundreds of giant catapults were pulled by demon warriors and heavy-bearing monsters to slowly approach the eastern wall of the Spark.
This made the alliance army defending the city wall nervous, each of these demon catapults was nearly twenty meters high, almost half the height of the Spark city wall, and the thick frame and the lever with metal Guan Ze all showed that this was a war weapon carefully built by the demons, and it was definitely not shoddy goods.
"Prepare to fight back!" shouted one of the commanders of the Union forces.
The warriors on the city walls retreated to the battlements and bunkers, and one by one heavy ballista carts were pushed into firing positions, and the crossbow riders quickly and skillfully loaded with armor-piercing crossbow arrows more than two meters long, and the triangular arrows flashed with cold light.
At the back and bottom of the city wall, hundreds of catapults were activated, and heavy stone bullets were loaded into their pockets.
Rumble!
After entering the effective attack range, the demon catapult launched the first attack, and a stone projectile weighing hundreds of catties was thrown out under the action of the huge habitual force, flying hundreds of meters away and smashing heavily on the wall of the Spark.
The defensive circle was defenseless against this purely physical attack, and the stone bullet landed with a dull roar, bounced up and rolled slightly, crushing a coalition soldier who couldn't dodge into a pulp on the spot, smearing the first patch of blood in this tragic offensive and defensive battle!
Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, almost all the demon catapults were thrown into the battle, and huge stone projectiles flew in the air, smashing the rubble of the Spark city wall, and the entire section of the city wall trembled.
However, the Confederate troops guarding the city walls were not vegetarians, and immediately launched a counterattack with heavy crossbows and catapults, and the Spark offensive and defensive battle officially began.
The demon side obviously knew very well that the Spark's majestic wall of nearly forty meters high was an almost impenetrable barrier for their limited infantry warriors, so on the first day of the battle, they only dispatched mage legions, catapults, and archers to attack the Spark from the southeast and south, and the damage on both sides was not great.
At night, the Demon side also dispatched air cavalry and shadow warriors to attack the city wall, but were repelled by the samurai and knights of the Alliance Army.
On the second day, the attack of the demons became much more ferocious, under the cover of hundreds of catapults and a large number of archers, dozens of large siege vehicles were put into attack on the eastern city wall, and the battle suddenly became much more brutal, and the number of casualties on both sides was on a straight upward trend.
On the afternoon of the next day, the demon clan, which had lost nearly 10,000 warriors, launched the most fierce offensive, 50,000 elite warriors and knights attacked wildly at any cost, and even dispatched more than a dozen magic crystal shuttles and a large number of air horsemen to launch a forced air attack, which plunged half of Spark City into a fire of blood.
At the height of the battle, the Grand Wizard's Tower, located in the heart of Spark City, attracted the first Defenders.
Whether it is a magician or a wizard, its mana accumulation is limited, except for the legendary god of law, no one can release spells without restrictions, the Great Wizard Tower bears the heavy responsibility of controlling the defense circle and the hundreds of wizard towers in the entire Yanjing, and the pressure on the wizards stationed in it can be imagined.
Under the frenzied attack of the demons, the mana of several wizards in the Great Wizard Tower was on the verge of exhaustion, and the wizards' union immediately sent three replacements to change the defense.
As the core of Yanjing's defense, the vigilance of the Grand Wizard Tower is undoubtedly a top priority, hundreds of knights and warriors are densely packed around, and not even a fly dares to fly in without permission - this is a lesson learned from the destruction of the central wizard tower of the Heterson Fortress.
After the three Grand Wizards and their servants had been repeatedly tested at three levels, they stood in front of the gate of the Wizard Tower, and the two knights guarding the gate bowed in unison.
"Master Most, Master Niaan, Master Kotdia," a knight said in a deep voice, "Master Otoya is waiting for you. ”
The leading archwizard nodded, "Good!"
The gates of the Wizard's Tower slowly opened to both sides, and three archsorcerers streamed in, while their three servants followed.
No one noticed a strange glint in the eyes of the servant who had been following Moster the moment he entered the wizard's tower.
However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred!
A crimson spear appeared out of thin air silently, carrying the terrifying power of Pei Mo Nengyu, and in an instant, it pierced the body of Most's servant from behind, and the blood-stained tip of the spear leaked out of his chest!
