Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 117 Caught in a Bitter Battle
On the battlefield outside the city, humans once again fought monsters, but this time the situation was different.
If in the previous two charges, the human army was like mowing grass, and finally wiped out half of the demon army, then this time, with the appearance of the new commander of the demon race, those monsters seem to have been strengthened.
For example, some monsters that look like lions have three long tails, each with a snake's head at the end, and sharp fangs that shimmer with cold light.
The human soldiers were startled when they first saw this monster, but seeing the commander-in-chief's brave posture, they finally mustered up the courage to draw their swords against the terrifying monster.
The soldiers in the group worked together, with some standing in front with shields in front to defend against enemy attacks, while others stabbed their swords through gaps in their shields.
Unexpectedly, this monster would not fight back at all, and after being stabbed by a human sword, it just let out a terrible cry, and then symbolically waved its tail, even if the fangs at the end of the tail hit, it was completely empty.
Although the soldiers didn't understand what was going on, since the monsters had chosen to give it for free, they didn't worry too much about it.
The reason why they were able to annihilate more than 50,000 monsters at once just now was that most of them were like this, and the monsters they were facing had no desire to fight at all.
But after the Demon Commander appeared, all this changed, even the weakest-looking monsters became quite dangerous, and it seemed that at that moment, they all awakened.
As time went on, human soldiers continued to die in battle, and although the three commanders were very brave, even if the monsters became stronger, they would not be affected much, but the soldiers at the bottom were different.
After the rotation of the five parts of the human army, there were special people to confirm the casualties, and the result was that more than a thousand people were killed in just ten minutes.
On the other hand, the demons only lost more than five hundred of them during this period, and they were basically annihilated by the three commanders.
Unlike the other two red-eyed men, Premo reacted first, and he quickly suggested that Zelens temporarily retreat and wait for the tactics to be reformulated.
However, Zelens swung a giant hammer and smashed dozens of monsters to death at once, and the more fierce the battle, he finally went deep into the interior of the demon army unconsciously, and naturally he couldn't hear Primo's reminder.
Fortunately, Charles was not far away, and he also understood that the current situation was not good, so he very much agreed with Premo's opinion.
"Damn, my father is too far away from me, it would be bad if he was besieged by monsters." Primo said worriedly.
He was well aware of his father's strength, and because of this, he also knew that his father would never be able to escape from the enemy in the abdomen.
"It's okay, I'll leave it to me." Charles patted his chest and said.
"But, you...... No, I have to go too. Primo said with a serious face.
But Charles shook his head, smiled and said, "Don't you want to fight?" If you have three longs and two shorts, even if humanity wins in the end, won't you be blessed? ”
This is quite pertinent, with Charles's straightforward personality, he naturally will not taunt others in a roundabout way, but anyone can hear it, which seems to underestimate Primo.
"Haha, thank you for your kindness," Premo didn't get angry, and then said, "However, if you have to leave someone behind, it must be you, after all, it is my father, and I have the obligation to save him, and as for the merits of the war, to be honest, I still think my father is more important." ”
Hearing him say this, Charles smiled with relief.
In fact, he did look down on this guy who only knew how to steal battles, and he also suspected that Primo's status as a paladin might really be obtained through connections, but after fighting side by side just now, and then listening to him say this heartfelt word, he finally changed his opinion.
So, he didn't shirk it anymore, and decided to stay here to cover the temporary retreat of the soldiers, and after Primo used his sword skills to kill a few monsters in his way, he immediately rode in the direction of his father.
Along the way, powerful monsters continued to block, but under Premo's sword skills, their bodies were pierced by those translucent swords.
Strangely, after being stabbed, the monster's self-healing ability is temporarily disabled, so they lose consciousness without having a chance to recover from their wounds.
The key lies in his sword, which Zelens specially commissioned the Empire's famous forgery family, the Stuart family, to forge it, and mixed it with a part of gold sparkle.
Although this legendary ore is currently only owned by the elves, the ancestors of the Stuart family once traded with the elves, and because of this, they were able to obtain extremely high forging technology, basically monopolizing the entire empire's forging industry.
And this little bit of gold pyroxene is also secretly made out of the family treasury by the current head of the Stuart family in the face of Zelens, after all, if the old people of the family know, the position of the current head of the family may not be guaranteed.
And the fact that the head of the family did not hesitate to do this for the sake of Zelens's adopted son also reflects how iron his relationship with Zelens is.
In short, relying on the power of this bit of gold sparkle, Premo was like a bamboo, and in just a few minutes, twenty or thirty powerful monsters fell under his sword.
Seeing that he was getting closer to his father, he was facing more and more resistance, and soon he was surrounded by monsters.
He relied on his powerful sword skills to force a breakthrough, but after several consecutive attacks were dodged by those monsters, he couldn't help but sink his heart and realize that he had been fooled.
The situation that Zelens had been worried about at the beginning finally happened, and Primo complained bitterly, knowing that he would follow his father's decision.
At this time, he was still more than 100 meters away from his father, and nearly 200 meters away from the human army behind him.
Thankfully, however, Zelens finally regained his composure, and he immediately rode back to the defense.
Now he is indeed surrounded by monsters, but no matter how strong the monsters around him are, he can always turn them into a pile of wreckage with the giant hammer in his hand.
As he thought at the beginning, these monsters were indeed the elite of the entire demon army, they had wisdom beyond most monsters and extremely strong self-healing ability, and his giant hammer was only forged from ordinary metal, naturally without the ability of Primo's long sword.
Despite this, no monster can stop his attack at the moment, after all, he has killed a demon god with a few hammers at the city gate before, which is more than enough to deal with these.
So, Zelens soon came to Primo and fought alongside him.
At this time, the demon commander, who had not made the next move, also noticed the existence of the two, and he began to approach this side, and the monsters surrounding the two were also strengthened even more.
He stood twenty meters away from the two of them, held out his hand to them, and immediately after, a black flame struck them.
Zelens, through years of fighting instincts, quickly spotted the Demon Commander's movements, and immediately raised the giant hammer above his head, trying to block the dangerous flames.
A few seconds later, Zelens didn't feel the Hammer being attacked as the sound of the flames hitting, and he removed the hammer only to find that the flames had hit dozens of monsters.
For a moment, Zelens thought that the demon commander was dazed and attacked his own people, but what happened next made him immediately dispel this idea.
Because the monsters that were hit had a mutation, although the types were completely different, their bodies were perfectly integrated, and finally turned into a large ball of flesh, all kinds of limbs were tangled together, and then rolled towards Zelens.
"Get out of the way!" Seeing that the comer was not good, Zelens hurriedly shouted to Premo beside him.
Primo knew that his strength was not comparable to his father's strength for the time being, so he dodged it very interestingly, and then concentrated on protecting his father's back.
Next, in the face of the ball of flesh rushing like a small mountain, Zelens made a motion to swing the giant hammer, and a layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the surface of his hammer, which was larger than a human.
The reason why knights' swordsmanship is called sword skill is only because most people use long swords as weapons, thus forming an inherent name, Zelens also used swords at the beginning, and later switched to giant hammers, and the previous sword skills are still used today.
At this time, he used his sword skills with both hands to hold the hammer, and finally hit the big meat ball.
As his only sword skill, this is an extremely brutal and tyrannical move, although he only finished sixth nine years ago, but in the entire empire, there are less than three people who can catch his hammer.
Sure enough, as if it had been hit by a powerful cannonball, the ball of flesh instantly shattered and turned into a cloud of debris.
Seeing that the Demon Commander's tricks were so vulnerable, Zelens decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.
In fact, during this encounter, he found that the monster had been strengthened early on, and at this time, even if the tactics were reformulated, they might not be able to solve the problem, but the longer it dragged on, the more serious the situation became.
The only way was to kill the demon commander as soon as possible, so he rushed into the demon army desperately.
But he was obviously going towards the direction of the demon commander, but in the end he found that the other party was gone, and after looking around, he saw that the other party appeared not far away.
However, when he fought for a while and arrived at that position, the other party disappeared again, and then reappeared not far away.
Later, he figured out that this was the monster's strategy to lure the enemy, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of such an opponent, but with the confrontation just now, he found that the other party was nothing more than that.
At this time, he had nothing to fear, so he rushed straight to the other party, and whenever a huge monster rushed out to block it, he just waved the hammer and turned it into a pile of debris.
After that, the demon commander continued to use the same method as he did to make large meat balls, but all of them were dissolved by Zelens one by one.
As he got closer, Zelens noticed that the guy was also wearing a mask, but it was white, with dark red lines on the surface, like blood, and it looked a little oozing.
Although it is curious why these monsters like to wear masks, Zelens does not have time to think about it so much, he must quickly take out the demon commander in order to avoid more losses of the human army.
Fortunately, this time the other party did not hide it anymore, and Zelens's giant hammer soon descended on his head.
Looking at a large lump of iron falling from the sky, the monster did not panic, but calmly took off its mask.
In the next moment, Zelens finally saw the true face of this demon commander, it was actually a young man with a beautiful face.
If it weren't for the battlefield, anyone would think that this was just a human being, and that it was harmless to humans and animals.
But Zelens is well aware of the dangers of monsters, and some of them can change their appearance to become exactly like humans.
And only humans will feel sympathy and pity for beings similar to themselves, so as to let down their guard, and then the monster will show its fangs.
Therefore, he was not affected by the appearance of this monster, and the strength of the hammer became greater.
With a loud "boom", the hammer fell to the ground, and the impact range enveloped the entire body of the young man, and a large crater was smashed out of the ground, and even a shock wave was generated, shaking the monsters within dozens of meters around.
However, just as Zelens thought it was finally over, a ghostly voice suddenly appeared behind him.
"You humans don't deserve to live."
It was a young and soft voice, but Zelens only felt a chill that penetrated deep into his bones.
