Chapter 815: A Test from the Demon Army!
"My lord, the demon army is coming!"
The half-elf archer standing on the watchtower of the fortress reported loudly.
Well, even if Blackstone goes to guard the camp, it doesn't mean that there aren't any half-elf shooters left.
There was a squad of half-elves, who stayed behind and were responsible for being on duty in the watchtower.
On the city wall tens of meters high, there is a watchtower dozens of meters high.
Standing on a high place, the view is naturally wide.
In addition, the eyesight of the half-elf archer is much stronger than that of humans, and large-scale enemy attacks can be easily and clearly seen within more than ten kilometers.
It's not bad for an ordinary human to see the enemy at ten kilometers.
Step, step!
Zhao Hao rushed up to the watchtower quickly, looked towards the front of the valley, that is, the southeast, and saw the black oppressive enemy.
Compared to the half-elf shooter, he saw it more clearly.
It's fast!
The march speed of the demon army is at least not much slower than that of ordinary people on foot.
Don't think it's slow, it's already fast.
This area is mountainous!
Even the Falcon Principality's road was undulating, let alone beyond the road, so the speed of the demon army was indeed not slow.
At the same time, there are also a large number of flying demons in the sky advancing with the ground troops.
There must be big demons and fire spirits, but the small size can't be seen clearly at such a distance, and they don't know the number, so they can only see the demons above the medium size.
The most numerous of them are medium-sized flying demons with dark red fur that resemble a combination of a bat and a wyvern.
Winged Demon!
Elite level demons.
Adulthood is the beginning of the elite level, and there are many transcendent and ace levels, and even the champion level appears from time to time.
Good news, Winged Demon doesn't have special abilities.
Bad news, the Burning Wing Demon is not weak in hand-to-hand combat.
It is equivalent to the aerial version of the 'pig', which is the evil ghost.
However, its flying ability is the confidence of the other party's value far beyond that of the same elite-level evil ghost.
"Looks like we have eyes around us!"
Zhao Hao was thoughtful.
The fact that the other party came so quickly indicates that there are watchers around the Golden Valley.
Otherwise, he didn't believe that it would happen like this, and he had only been in the Golden Valley for less than half a day, and the demon army had already been killed.
At the same time, I also felt the pressure brought by demons.
Being able to quickly assemble such an army of demons to kill it shows that there are a large number of demons nearby.
This is the southern end of the defensive line!
There are so many demons here, so you can imagine how exaggerated the number of demons is.
Hell Passage!
As long as this thing is there, the demons will continue to enter the main plane.
The Abyss Hell has little but an endless number of demons, and the crazy invasion is also to reduce the number of demons, and even when there is no target invasion, you have to consume your own number through civil war.
Fortunately, it was not easy for the demons to enter the main plane, otherwise the world would have been overwhelmed by the demons.
The Hell Passage requires the consumption of flesh and blood to maintain, so it is impossible for demons to accumulate strength all the time, and the Falcon Principality naturally understands this.
Therefore, the relocation of the people is equivalent to grasping the strategic initiative, so that the demons can only choose to attack the Eagle Claw defense line.
Of course, there is another way to go.
That is to bypass the Falcon Principality and attack from the side of the Wolf Principality.
Woe to the East!
The Falcon Principality has a lot of fun.
And you can't blame it yet, after all, they are only moving the population and building a defensive line, but they have no intention of driving the demons to attack the Wolf Principality.
As long as you hit your head in the talon defense line and break the bloodstream, then the target of the pile of prey next door is not a little more tempting?
This strategic goal can only be seen by people like Zhao Hao, who know the inside story of the major forces.
But those are all later, and now it is Zhao Hao's turn to be tested.
He has no pressure on that.
The previous legion could withstand the demon's attack, why couldn't he?
Therefore, there is no intention of sending a distress signal at all.
Although as long as the signal is given, Eagle Claw will be the first to let the flying troops arrive.
But it's not free!
As soon as they call for help, they will default to letting the headquarters meddle in the defense area, and the loss will be too great and they will even lose the stationing authority.
"Fida, you go and inform Ellie, let her lead the troops to deal with the demons who will enter the valley, and then tell Blackstone and Beo to protect the convoy!"
Although Zhao Hao said that he was not worried about the attack of the demon army, he was very worried that the other party would enter the Golden Valley.
"Yes!"
Fida quickly descended the watchtower and rushed into the valley.
That is, there is a forbidden space magic circle, otherwise she will fly directly after turning into a half-dragon to give orders.
Since the troops in the fortress are all troops, there is no need to prepare for battle.
Classes are always in combat mode!
And if the demon army wants to rush to the fortress, it will take at least a few hours or more.
More than a dozen kilometers away!
It doesn't sound far away, and the flying unit may be able to fly easily in less than ten minutes, which still means that the flight speed is not fast.
If you change to a speed player such as an archangel or a phoenix, you may be able to fly this distance in a few minutes.
But if you go from the ground, this distance is very pitted.
Not to mention the rugged mountainous terrain.
When Zhao Hao was a little impatient, the demon army was finally killed.
in the sky.
The flying demon levitated in the sky a few hundred meters away from the fortress and did not continue to get closer.
If you keep getting closer, you'll enter the Forbidden Circle.
The circle is not a rule, it is not an absolute ban on flying, but after entering, it will be subjected to terrifying pressure, which will greatly reduce its speed and altitude, and the closer it gets to the valley, the greater the pressure.
The same goes for spatial capabilities, which are harder to use the closer you go.
Of course, if you're strong enough, you can ignore it.
"It looks like the other party is not ready!"
Feida, who had already returned to the city wall after informing her, swept her gaze over the dozen or so Great Demons, hundreds of Fire Elves, thousands of Burning Wing Demons, and a large number of Flying Demons, and came to this conclusion.
This strength does not seem to be weak, after all, it is not a class, and its combat effectiveness will only be stronger.
But when it comes to attacking a fortress, it's a little too little.
The main force of the ground forces is the devil, starting from the elite level, there are many transcendent ranks, and there are also ace ranks.
That's true for non-classes!
The race level is only the lower limit of the rank, not the upper limit.
The number of demon armies is at least 50,000 or more, and there are no low-level demons to follow as cannon fodder.
Because there is no need at all.
Airplanes!
The light of magic flickered.
A low-level demon stepped out of the magic circle.
Although the number of summons is small, there are many demons who can't resist the spell of awakening, so the size of the demon army is expanding at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Soon the number exceeded 100,000.
Although most of them are cannon fodder demons, the number on the battlefield is power.
At this time, Zhao Hao was not worried about the other party's attack, but worried that the other party would choose to enter the Golden Valley desperately.
But in reality, his worries were unfounded.
Because in the eyes of the demon army, there are no miners in the valley, and there is no benefit in killing, so it is impossible to mine, right?
And this is also the reason why Zhao Hao did not forcibly let the Hundred Flowers Club withdraw to the fortress.
Of course, judgment is judgment, and he is still a little worried.
It wasn't until the demon army launched an attack on the fortress that he was relieved and decided to give the other party a 'painful realization', so that he would not dare to attack easily.
"Ready!"
With his command.
The phantom archers lined up on the walls began to bend their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.
