Chapter 737, Siege
The banquet in the city lord's palace was over, and under the anesthetic effect of the wine, the Duke of Parmalat fell asleep soundly with two delicate ladies in his arms.
Under the cover of night, some changes gradually appeared outside the city.
The number of Little Bad Devils has reached as many as 30,000, and some long-armed demons with firelight in their hands have also quietly appeared in the group of Little Bad Devils, and in the sky, under the light of the moon, some black dots are flying towards Black Grass City.
When the high-ranking knights with good eyesight noticed these changes, they immediately reported them to the captain of the guard.
Of course, some of the black fog that had been pasted under the base of the city walls, but the high-ranking knights did not notice.
The captain of the guard who received the report arrived quickly, and he was able to become the captain of the guard, not only because of his superb command ability, but also because of his strength.
He is a big knight, relatively speaking, a knight who has inspired his fighting spirit usually has a combat power of level nine or above, while a senior knight is above eleven levels, and as for a big knight, he must have at least thirteen levels of strength, which is not weak in the human kingdom.
When he came to the city wall, the captain of the guard first looked at the sky in the distance, and after seeing the hundreds of black dots, the captain of the guard's face couldn't help but change slightly, and then ordered: "All crossbowmen are in place quickly!
With the order of the captain of the guard, the first to arrive were the high-ranking knights, followed by the city defenders, and finally the caravan guards who dragged on.
The whole process looked like a plate of scattered sand, and the captain of the guard frowned, this efficiency was inevitably a little low, but the captain of the guard also knew that the forces defending the city were originally a mixture of several forces, and it was not surprising that such a situation occurred.
At the same time as the caravan guards dragged out, the black dots in the sky in the distance were already approaching. The captain of the guard looked carefully through the moonlight, and those black spots turned out to be a red-skinned demon with a body size of about two meters, wide wings, and a steel fork in his right hand.
"All ready! Prepare to shoot!" The captain of the guard also drew a strong bow at this time, aiming at the demon in the sky.
Just as the demons flying in the sky began to swoop towards the city wall, a loud shot spread around the city wall.
Suddenly, more than two hundred arrows flew out with a whoosh, which were arrows shot by high-ranking knights, and a slight flash of white light flashed on them, and the speed was extremely fast, followed by more than five hundred arrows shot by the crossbowmen in the city defense army.
Those demons who swooped down were suddenly hit head-on, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty winged demons who rushed to the front were shot into baskets and fell.
The main thing that works is the arrows fired by the high-ranking knights. They covered the arrows with fighting energy, increasing the speed of the arrows several times, even if the recovery ability of the Winged Demon was strong, one accidentally hit the demon core would be over.
As for the caravan guards who seemed to be a little demoralized, it wasn't until the senior knights fired a second round of arrows that their arrows were sparsely fired.
No, the long-range attack weapon of the bow and crossbow is not something that the people should possess in any human kingdom. These mercenaries did not have the opportunity to learn how to shoot a crossbow, so they were even more powerful than the soldiers of the city defense army. Not only is it slow to shoot an arrow, but it is also worrying.
The high-ranking knights shot three rounds and shot down more than a hundred winged demons, although a considerable number of them were only injured, but after the flesh membrane of the wings was pierced through a few large holes, it was impossible to rise into the air. It's better to say that those winged demons who fell outside the city wall can only serve as infantry temporarily.
"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
The captain of the guard roared, pulled out the big sword hanging behind his back, and jumped out first. Its arms were wrapped in a cloud of white light, and then the white light quickly spread to the Great Sword, forming a layer of sharp white light wrapped around the blade of the Great Sword.
A sword slashed, and a winged demon that had not yet reacted was immediately split in half by a sword.
The rest of the high-ranking knights were all full of fighting spirit, scrambling to kill those winged demons who swooped down.
As for the city defenders, they erected long bayonet spears, forming groups of hedgehogs, allowing the Winged Demons to throw themselves into the net.
It was only then that the caravan guards and mercenaries, who were not good at shooting, came to use, and they fought the Winged Demons with their combat experience and strong physique, which they had honed from birth to death.
Judging from the situation at this time alone, the defending side of the city occupied an absolute advantage, and the Winged Demons fell to the ground one after another, and even the Winged Demons who rushed into the city were killed by the city guards who rushed out of the hidden soldier cave.
It stands to reason that the Winged Demon has the strength of the ninth level, this ninth level has added points to the flight, if the wings are removed, the strength of the Winged Demon is only the seventh level, plus when he came to this world, he was suppressed by the world, and his strength declined again, and it is not surprising that he was beaten by the defenders with a combination of punches.
Just as the number of Winged Demons dropped sharply to less than ten, hundreds of black mist quietly appeared on the city wall, and one after another pitch-black daggers quietly pierced the backs of the defenders.
As one soldier fell, the black mist finally fell into the eyes of the defenders.
The soldiers waved their weapons in a panic to prevent the black fog from approaching, but in this dark night, the light was not very good, so the black fog kept disappearing, and then appeared behind the soldiers, causing even more panic.
At this moment, fireballs flew from under the city, smashed on the city walls, and exploded, each of which was able to blow several soldiers away.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the city wall, and the captain of the guard was so angry that he led a team of senior knights to find those black fogs.
As the Black Mist began to be killed, the Black Mist seemed to understand their situation, and some of the Black Mists disappeared again, while others rushed towards the city with the intention of causing more chaos.
This night can be regarded as tiring the captain of the guard, and the constant shouts of killing from the city walls and the streets of the city also made the residents of Blackgrass City have a sleepless night.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the dawn of several different colored suns illuminated the land, that the demon's attack stopped.
It was only at this time that the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the casualties to be counted, the wounded to be treated, and the corpses to be moved.
The fireballs that flew up the city wall at night not only blew up the defenders to the ground, causing heavy casualties, but also destroyed several arrow towers, and several fireballs fell into the city, causing a fire. (To be continued.) )
