Chapter 335: Fierce Battle
Perhaps, for the Abyss Blood Hell, the earth is the kingdom of heaven, right?
But at this point, Leon could not afford to think too much, and the army of the Fallen of Agraem had already begun to act with that loud roar.
They divided into more than a dozen hundred-man teams and rushed up the hillside from all directions.
One of the teams of Fallen Ghost Radiators was in the middle of all the Fallen troops, seemingly deliberately holding down the speed.
At the same time, a spell, mixed with a ghostly howl, came as the ghosts of the fallen approached.
Leon still couldn't determine which Fallen Ghost was Agrim, but it didn't matter, it must have been in the black fog anyway.
It's good, just rush over, just in time!
Leon looked up at the sky, and the clouds were already shining one after another, and there was a low 'stuck...... The rumbling of lightning has been heard.
"Stop! Shoot the arrows! ”
Leon ordered a wave of shots - the show had to be done, and Agraim wouldn't care about being shot a few degenerates, but if he didn't resist, it might make it grind and set up the array.
Moreover, it is best to stop the Fallen in the front row and release the Fallen Ghosts of Aigreme's team to the best effect.
The Noldor elves lined up in two rows, and the rain of arrows rained down on the cavalry of the Fallen like locusts, and from time to time the Fallen were shot through their heads and fell off their horses.
The group of Fallen Ghosts that Agraem was in sped up - they had no long-range means and had to rush into the Noldor array as quickly as possible.
It looks like everything is going according to plan.
But at this moment, Li Ang suddenly had a flower in front of him, and some pictures flashed in his mind unconsciously......
He seems to be driving......
Walk through the congestion of the city, surrounded by high-rise buildings and busy people, and then drive across the overpass, through the night market, and into the community garage......
Take the elevator, open the security door, enter the living room......
The picture is finally frozen on the computer monitor in the room.
The monitor shows an army of griffons fighting the army of 'Devourer' Agrime......
Did I just get off work?
I'm home?
Is this a dream......
No, heckling! I'm at war!
Leon closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still standing in front of the fire, and the army of the Fallen of Agraem was charging at him.
Is this soul devouring?
It wasn't the first time Leon had experienced this situation, he had also been seen by the little white dragon when he was stabbed by Agathon.
However, this time, Aigraim probably didn't want to check his memory, but to immerse Leon in his dream.
Leon now knew why people with evil thoughts were so easily attracted when they approached Agraeme.
Strictly speaking, it is not that people who have evil thoughts in their hearts will be attracted, but people who have strong worldly desires are easily attracted, and of course, people with strong desires must not be pure in their hearts.
It's not an attraction, it's a temptation – Agraim can get lost in your deepest desires or desires! Or rather, immerse yourself in your own dreams!
If you are an ordinary person, you will probably get lost in the lust for money, power, beauty, killing, etc., and become muddy, and will be slowly devoured by Agraem after the battle.
A person like Roland is not an ordinary person, because he has no worldly desires, he is bent on punishing adultery and eliminating evil, and he just wants to do his best to return the goddess of justice to the earth, such a person is indeed difficult to tempt.
And Li Ang happens to be not an ordinary person......
After coming to the Pander Continent, what Leon wanted most was actually the ordinary and peaceful life in the original world - so all that appeared in his mind were the scenes of his previous daily life.
Naturally, Agraeme's soul spell didn't succeed - who would get lost in ordinary life?
But there is still an impact, Leon is indeed not a pure person, he is not even out of low-level taste.
The Fallen were still charging, the howling in the black fog still continuing, but the spell had visibly stopped.
"What is this! Who are you?! ”
Agraeme's voice became extremely flustered, probably now it felt like meeting a beautiful woman, but after successfully hooking up, he found that the lower half of the person's body was bigger than his own......
It is clear that Agraim saw Leon's 'desire', but it could not understand it......
In fact, Li Ang was not very comfortable at this time, his brain hurt as if he had been hit a few times, and he was almost unstable.
But the headache does not affect the ability to say a few flickering words......
"Agraeme, I'm from the Celestial Empire...... I am from the true Kingdom of Heaven! Do you want the gates of heaven? Then come and get it! ”
Leon pointed to the giant tree, took a few steps back, beckoned to Risadillan, and then covered his head and began to gasp.
He was too close to the tree, and his soul was stimulated, and the burning flames made it difficult for him to breathe.
Risadilan reached out and tugged at it a few times, and then quickly fled from under the tree, dripping several large barrels of oil from the top.
It was an oil drum hanging from a tree, and it could be flipped by pulling a rope – this was actually the way to prevent fire in those days, and many large buildings would have buckets hanging on top, as was the case with Sedren's big stable.
However, this fire prevention measure is now being used to add fuel to the fire.
The fire burned even harder, and the grease flowed down the trunk, and the tongue of fire spread quickly down the grease to the upper part of the trunk.
In a moment, almost the entire giant tree began to burn.
The giant tree itself is seven meters in diameter, and the tree is full of firewood, all of which add up to more than twenty meters in diameter, and the branches and leaves of the canopy may extend more than twenty meters in length.
The blazing giant tree is like a huge torch, a super torch full 80 meters high!
The burning flames obscured all sounds, whether it was the strange wails or the sound of horses' hooves.
The fire shone brighter than noon, and the raindrops that were falling sparsely could not fall—they evaporated in the air, and it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or sunny.
Twenty or thirty meters next to the giant tree is completely unstoppable, and this level of fire will consume all the oxygen in the vicinity, and you will feel suffocated from a distance of several tens of meters.
The raging flames brought a terrible wave of heat, and the ground that was once somewhat wet cracked rapidly, and all the moisture in the soil turned into steam and roasted into the sky.
A gray-white tornado had gathered at the top of the tree—a pillar of smoke and water vapor that looked like it was about to form a tornado, blown by the south wind.
Agrim no longer uses any spells, and it drives the Fallen troops to the top of the slope as fast as they can.
"Let's go!"
Leon clutched his head and shouted, then stumbled and turned to run.
Risa Dilan, with a spirit, picked up Leon and turned around and ran, slipping out of a gap two meters wide—surrounded by huge tree trunks and branches that had fallen to the ground, and there was only one way to go.
The clever captain of the Elven Guard had already seen that his boss was floating under his feet and seemed to be unable to do anything.
Several bands of Fallen cavalry rushed to the bottom of the giant tree, but they did not stop, but kept chasing Leon.
Only the group of Fallen Ghosts of Agraem's party stopped near the burning tree.
It may still want to save the abyssal gate in the tree—in fact, in the middle of the forty-meter-high trunk, in the flames, the two small pages are not visible.
But the Abyssal Gate is clearly extremely important to Agrave......
Leon could understand that this was its way home......
But the sheer size of the torch left Agraim helpless - it was impossible to extinguish the fire, i.e. the Fallen were not afraid of the heat, and if they were ordinary people, they would have to be roasted for a few seconds under the tree.
In fact, some of the Fallen Ghosts that passed by the giant tree were almost roasted - they had no sense of staying away from the fire, and were still following the best route to chase Leon.
Leon had the Noldors sawed off the tops of the other trees, and the trunks fell to the ground, and the top of the hill was surrounded by these huge trunks and vast branches into a U-shaped pocket, like a wall—but irregular, just barely stacked into a barrier.
Except for the direction in which Agrave was going up the mountain, only there was a two-meter-wide slit in the direction where Leon had just run.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Just as the group of Fallen Ghosts reached the foot of the tree, an explosion occurred.
After the explosion, Wendy and a group of Noldor fighters ran out as fast as they could, joining Leon. The degenerate who had planned to sew out to hunt down Leon was also blocked inside.
It was a grenade that Wendy had thrown with someone.
This wave of explosions was not very powerful, and it was not intended to cause direct damage - the grenades brought out by Leon were limited, and he did not intend to kill the enemy directly with the explosion.
The main purpose of this explosion was to blow up the passage that was only two meters wide, and nothing more.
This allows Agraem to be temporarily sealed in the U-shaped area at the top of the mountain.
Thunder!
Li Ang muttered silently in his heart.
This is already the best form......
Igniting the entire giant tree, the huge torch creates a column of smoke filled with water vapor, which, combined with the height of the giant tree itself and the rising heat, will surely shoot down the column of water vapor smoke as long as there is thunder! I can't even deviate if I want to!
It's unrealistic to use kites and the like to guide mines, and creating a water vapor channel with a huge fire is the most reliable way.
But the clouds in the sky kept crackling, but there was no big movement......
I thought it was a little late, but now it seems to be a little early.
There was no way, this thing would not come by human will, so Leon had to quickly detour in the direction of Agrim's uphill.
Agraim was still in the U-shaped area at the top of the mountain, and in order to wait for the moment when the thunder fell, Leon had to block it at the top of the mountain—the deliberately enclosed area was actually a 'locked minefield'. This will not only prevent lightning from escaping, but also ensure that you will be hit if you are in it, because the ground in that area is connected to the trees with many iron chains......
In fact, the direction of Agraim's ascent of the mountain was also arranged.
It was to the northwest, and according to the original plan, if Leon led Agrave up the mountain, that direction should be blocked by Gondor the Doomer and the cavalry that Leon had brought out of the Lion City.
These troops were originally lying in ambush to the south, behind the hillside.
Although the distance is very close, coming from the southwest, the view will be blocked by the hillside, and they will not be visible.
But the giant tree ignites this signal, and as long as there are eyes, it can be seen from miles away.
Leon had thought that Gondor had gone to block the entrance, but when he went around to the south, he found that none of the human forces had moved!
It's all muddy and sluggish, and many of them are even drooling!
Ma Dan ......
Leon immediately thought of the reason - these troops were recruited! They've been affected by Egrem's AoE Soul Spell, and they're probably all dreaming about it now!
Only the Noldor troops can be relied on......
However, can the Noldor army, which currently has only 600 men, hold back the 2,000 cavalry of Aglame?
But in any case, you have to try, and you have to hurry...... Otherwise, Agraim will turn around!
It couldn't have been under the giant tree for too long, and as long as it was sure it couldn't save the Abyssal Gate, it certainly wouldn't stay there again.
It only took a minute to reach the entrance to the U-shaped area to the northwest—it was already very close, just going from the south to the southwest of the hillside, separated from Agraem by a ring of huge fallen tree trunks.
The Fallen Ghost of Agrim is still hovering around the Giant Tree, but a troop of Fallen cavalry is descending from the southwest.
"Attack!"
Wendy gave the order directly.
The Noldos began to fire their arrows in a neat manner again.
But now, they're going downhill, facing enemies rushing down from above......
"Everyone! Grenade ready! to the ground directly in front of you...... Get ready! ”
Leon suddenly gave a strange order.
Hand grenade? Straight ahead?
This is not an arrow......
The Noldor Guards didn't quite understand, but they were absolutely obedient to the orders of Leon, the 'Magus', and they temporarily stopped their bows and arrows, and a whole line of grenades was ignited.
A detachment of fallen cavalry rushed down.
A volley of grenades was thrown at the hillside ahead.
With a series of explosions, dirt splattered, blades of grass escaped, and a line of smoke and fire rose directly in front of the Noldor warriors.
The fallen were not killed by many explosions, and there were many people who flipped on their backs, but few were fatal.
However, there are quite a lot of pits in the ground......
The pit is not deep, only a dozen centimeters deep, but combined with the gentle slope, the area becomes uneven, forming a trap.
Together with the Fallen and the Fallen Warhorses who were shot to death by the Noldor Elves along the way, they formed a rudimentary reverse horse ramp, specifically for the Fallen Warhorses who lacked flexibility......
There are advantages to rushing from the top down, but not only ......
If the ground is flat and unobstructed, you can get higher speed and more impact when you are uphill.
But if there are pits and obstacles on the ground, the higher speed and impact will fall on the horse's legs...... And it's not easy to see those pits when you're uphill.
The Noldor elves also understood Leon's intentions, and then they began to use their wits.
While shooting at the Fallen, they spontaneously planted their shields in front of them to act as an obstacle - shields could not stop the horses from ramming, but the horses did not understand this, and they often bypassed them......
Shields are useless against the Fallen, anyway.
At the same time, the Noldors consciously began to shoot the head of the Fallen's horses - it was better to shoot the horses to death than to shoot the Fallen.
Every individual in the army really needs wisdom.
The army of the Fallen does have many advantages, but only Agrim has intelligence, which is actually a disadvantage.
While the army of the Fallen will be completely obedient, this army, like their bodies, is inflexible - the Fallen do not improvise, they don't even know how to go around the obstacle, and they still follow the 'optimal route'.
Agraem is indeed powerful, but it can't see the battlefield environment here, so it can't change its tactics at any time according to the environment.
Two minutes later, the Noldors eliminated the first group of fallen who rushed down, creating more than a hundred corpses that had been pierced through their brains by arrows, and adding another batch of obstacles, while the Noldors themselves were almost unharmed.
But then, it wasn't so easy - Agraem appeared at the top of the slope.
This time, instead of hiding in the group of ghosts of the Fallen, Leon could clearly see the black mist that filled its body, and the burning trees behind it reflected the black mist in a ghostly appearance.
"Ah~Roar!!"
A loud howl even drowned out the sound of the giant tree burning, and a tearing pain came from Leon's head, and his whole body was weak, and he could barely ride his horse.
"Wendy, Risa Dilan, leave it to you, I'll be affected by its magic......"
Leon said bitterly.
Wendy drove over, took Alice's reins, and pulled Leon to the back of the line.
"Come on!"
Risadilan took a few steps forward, stopped where Leon had been, and raised his hand to shoot an arrow at Agrim.
The arrow hit Agraim in the neck, but he pulled it out and threw it on the ground.
"Roar!!
Another loud howl rang out, full of rage.
Almost all of the fallen poured out and rushed down the hillside.
It seems that Agraim is sure that the Abyss Gate cannot be saved, and this time Agraim seems to have given up its tactical operation, it probably just wants to rush up and destroy Leon!
The elves were locked in a bitter battle almost instantly.
The difference in numbers is too great, the Fallen are not easy to shoot to death, and now the Noldor Elves have no room to retreat - they must form a formation to resist, not retreat, and not to put the Fallen down the mountain.
This wasn't just to fulfill Leon's plan, mainly because after exiting the U-shaped area, the Fallen's numerical superiority would cause the Noldor warriors to be surrounded, and Leon would be in danger behind them - now Leon could barely act on his own.
Agraem still stood motionless at the top of the hill, not a single Fallen by its side, but now that the Noldor were in the midst of a scuffle, no one seemed to have their hands free to deal with it.
Li Ang's eyes were a little blurry, the sharp pain made his whole body tense, and vaguely, he seemed to see a figure in black and white armor flashing, but he couldn't really see it.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
"Heresy! Death! ”
After a few explosions that were barely audible in the flames, a familiar and clear voice was heard, which was Roland's trademark battle cry, as if it were directly in his ears.
When he heard this voice, Leon shook his head, and he could see clearly.
Roland's war cry can actually get rid of Agraim's soul spell?
At the top of the mountain, two knights in black and white armor had already rushed in front of Agraim.
That's Roland and Renard.
They had come back from the south, and it was indeed Roland who had passed by Leon just now......
Roland's forces are helping the Noldors defend themselves, and Roland and Renard use grenades to blow a gap in the southern trunk 'wall', intending to decapitate!
The Fallen were slow to react, and they had already rushed down the hill, unaware that Roland was behind them.
It may not be that they are unaware, but that they are not ordered by Agrim......
There are no Fallen Ghosts around Acharem! Such an opportunity cannot be missed......
Leon drove his horse out and made a circle of arcs from the gap to Agrim. Wendy saw the gap as he did, and she and Leon rushed over at the same time.
Roland had a riding spear in his hand and Renard had a long sword, and the two teamed up to force Aegrem back a few steps, but Aegreme backhanded an axe, and Renard's sword was knocked off.
But he suddenly pounced on his horse and pounced on Agraim from his horse!
"Roar!!
At that moment, Agraim let out another dull roar, and Renard still pounced on Agraim's horse, knocking him off the horse, but he himself fell unconscious.
Agrim lifted Renard away, rolled around on the ground, slashed Roland's leg with an axe, and prepared to mount again.
Roland's horse fell to the ground, and he threw down his spear and rolled forward, then drew his sword and slashed at Agraem's horse's leg—the same as Agraem's.
The legs of the demon warhorse were also cut off, and Agraem could only fight on foot......
The roar caused the Fallen Ghost to react, but so did Risadillan - he, along with several Twilight Knights, rushed over and intercepted the Fallen Ghost as it was trying to rescue Agraim.
Roland was still attacking, and he was consciously pushing Agrim back away from the other degenerates.
In a short period of time, a three-on-one situation was formed on the top of the mountain.
Maybe Agraem was a little weak after using the range spell continuously, and the magic power was definitely not enough, and it was still roaring, but it didn't use any spells.
Wendy was lightweight, ran ahead of Leon and slashed a sword from Aegrem's side.
Originally, it seemed that Agraim should be unable to stop it, but at this time, a sudden change occurred - Agraem suddenly raised his tomahawk and slashed at Wendy's horse, took Wendy's sword without avoiding it, and then threw a tomahawk at Roland, who was about to attack.
Roland slammed the tomahawk away with a sword, but the sword flew out of his hand, and Roland fell to the ground.
Agraim's strength is indeed great, and if it had brought more throwing weapons, I am afraid that no one would be able to get close to him.
Wendy didn't expect that Agraim would rather cut her horse than fight her, her horse was chopped to the ground, the stirrups probably locked Wendy's feet, and her legs were crushed.
And she did slash Agrame's neck, but Wendy's sword was too thin to cut completely, and Agraem was still fighting with half of his neck dangling......
Leon finally arrived, and he drove his horse directly towards Agrim.
Agrim didn't have a weapon in his hand, but when he faced Leon, he didn't have a normal attitude at all......
Looking at Leon who was rushing towards it, it flew directly and pounced!
Leon didn't think this guy was so reckless, and with a sword, he did pierce Agraeme's body firmly, but Leon was also thrown off the horse.
Leon rolled a few laps to cushion the force, while Agraem also rolled on the other side.
But then, Agraem pulled Leon's sword from his stomach and lunged at Wendy, who was holding down her legs......
A look of horror appeared in Wendy's eyes - she couldn't hide!
Leon was in a hurry, and with a flying pounce, he strangled Agrim's half-broken neck from behind.
Le's strength was much stronger than Leon's, and as soon as he turned around and waved his arm, Leon was thrown a few meters away.
However, Agraim changed his goal and ran towards Leon, who he hated the most.
Leon was thrown hard, and when he saw Agraem rushing towards him, he groped the ground around him, trying to find a weapon.
A chain!
Leon grabbed the chain and threw it at Agrim.
At the same time, there was finally a response from the sky......
"Ka! …… Click!! ”
A swift thunderbolt slashed down the pillar of steam, splitting the pillar of clouds that was about to form a tornado, and the lightning struck down to the top of the giant tree, and the entire tree erupted into a strong firelight, and the giant tree that was already burning burst into countless flames in all directions.
The chains connected to the giant trees are stirred up into a spider-web-like power grid, enveloping Leon and Agraem in it!
