The Storm Rises Chapter Ninety-Nine The Bloody War Begins

"Hurry, assemble, assemble!"

"Damn it, hurry, hurry, evacuate those who are watching the excitement, let them get out of the way."

"Gates of Hell, how could such a thing appear in the royal city?"

The young squad leader gathered all the power he could gather around him, though he didn't know what it meant to the lava crack that was rising in the air.

"Sir, where are your Nightblade troops?" The team leader glanced at Edward, who was watching the direction of the Hell's Gate rising, and hesitated, but still asked his own question.

Who doesn't know that the city guards of the kingdom during the war are only nominal protectors, and it is fine to deal with ordinary bandits and law and order problems, but when it comes to issues at the level of the Gates of Hell, it is basically not something they can handle.

But instead of looking for Nightblade's troops, the commander of the Night's Blade, who had a relationship with the fleshy monsters in the city wall area that day, asked him to gather as many city guards as possible.

But are the city guards who are still making a fuss and a lot of talk and showing great fear of the gates of hell even now?

The young squad leader is also a little nobleman, he is also unlucky, he came to the city guard on an errand and gilded can encounter this kind of thing twice, but, I don't know if I should say lucky, the substitute ghost who took the blame last time didn't have his turn, this time, it is estimated that it will not be.

"Whew... They are in the palace, and we can't count on it for the time being, and all we have to do is support until the arrival of the forbidden army. ”

Edward exhaled, now the power within the kingdom is indeed empty, the war has mobilized too many troops to the battlefield, at least the city guards in each district have high-level official knights as commanders before, but now...

This conscientious squad leader also has the strength of a high-level trainee knight, but in other regions, Edward doesn't feel that he will be better than him.

Originally, it was no problem for the empty part of the city guards to be filled by the Night Blade during the war, but it happened to be pressed at this time, and the Night Blade could not be dispatched, and it would take some time for the Kingdom Forbidden Army to arrive.

Watching the winged demons leap out of the lava cracks and leap into the sky, their human-like faces looking around with a hint of doubt and more excitement.

Edward knew that this was the vanguard from Hell, and if the Gates of Hell were not closed as soon as possible, more and more powerful demons would sense the doors leading here, and that would be a real disaster.

"The appearance of the Gate of Hell means that Wang Yu's attempt to prevent the appearance of the Gate of Hell has failed... Then he's fine. Edward muttered inwardly.

The communication was cut off because of the position of the reality anchor, and Wang Yu has not sent him another message until now, he doesn't know what happened to the explosion, but it is likely that Wang Yu made it.

"Edward, I detonated the Reality Anchor and tried to break through the top of the Demon Summoning Array with the explosion, but it seems to have failed so far, I'm a step slower, but I still have some gains."

Coincidentally, when Edward was worried about Wang Yu's situation, Wang Yu's communication arrived.

Running through the city wall area covered by no gaps, Wang Yu thought back to what he had seen in the pit, organized his language a little, and informed Edward of the information.

"I don't know who cleared a cavity in advance of the sewer below, someone drew a demon summoning formation in it, and you found that the residents of the missing city wall area should have been pulled down as sacrifices."

Thinking of the bloody scene below, and the painful wail that did not stop even if the soul dissipated, I have to say that the life at the bottom of this royal city is really too bad.

It was very difficult to try to do something to the residents outside the city wall area without being discovered, but the widespread disappearance of these residents of the city wall area, who were nominally residents of the city but were not actually part of the city at all, did not cause any trouble.

Wang Cheng This kind of structure that Wang Yu doesn't know if it is a deformity or not, there are indeed many hidden dangers, and considering the uncontrolled violence and chaos of the royal family under the shadow of Wang Cheng, he has to suspect that the royal family is deliberately raising something.

The professor once mentioned a weapon called the "Divine Remains of the End", and although the professor believed that the protective measures in it made Wang Yu inaudible, in fact, it did not have any real effect on Wang Yu.

"The darkness and violence born from the hearts of these people will eventually be projected into that ocean of spiritual power, and the things that are bred in the center of that ocean of spiritual power will become stronger and stronger, and eventually the nascent will of the abyss will will also mature, Royal Alestale, what the hell are you doing..."

Shaking his head, Wang Yu threw all these things out of his head, now is not the time to engage in any conspiracy theories, the top priority is to drag these demons who escaped from the gates of hell and stop the spread of scorched earth.

"Although the explosion was not able to destroy the summoning formation, it also had an advantage, it opened the passage between the summoning array and the above, and when the royal forbidden army arrived, it would be good to forcibly break it from above, Edward, what we have to do now is to contain these demons and reduce casualties as much as possible."

Wang Yu's thinking is very clear, these demons are still only the vanguard, the strength of the winged demons is not very strong, probably the level of high-level knight apprentices, and the physical fitness is not very high, mainly because they can fly and throw fireballs.

What is really troublesome is a series of more powerful demons such as the Eye Demon, Bull Ghost, Black Goat, etc., which will appear later, and the strength of these things can be said to have soared in a straight line, far surpassing the horror of the Wing Demon.

"Ahhhh Please, somebody's going to save me" A terrible scream came from a distance, and Wang Yu glanced back as he ran, a young woman was found by the Winged Demons through the cracks in the house, and these evil Winged Demons carried her into the air, admiring her terrified countenance and desperate struggle.

"Alas..."sighed, Wang Yu didn't care, it was too far, although it was not difficult to kill these winged demons, but he was not a superman, he had neither superhuman strength nor superhuman responsibility, he might save what he could in front of him, but the unfamiliar people who were farther away, even if he didn't save him, he wouldn't have any guilt.

"Bang." The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came, and the screams stopped abruptly, Wang Yu didn't look back, this is just the beginning, as long as these demons are still raging, the tragedy will continue to be staged, and what Wang Yu saw was just a microcosm of the chaos in the royal city.

"I'm gathering the city guards and asking them to establish a defensive line at the junction of the city wall area and other areas, the time for the demons of the next level to appear is generally five minutes, Wang Yu, you still have about two minutes, hurry up and join us."

Edward's communication came, and the voices were noisy, and a large number of noisy voices could be heard, ranging from frightened inquiries to impatient shouting, and even crying and scolding.

"Okay." Wang Yu nodded and sped up again.

It will take a certain amount of time for the forbidden army to arrive, and it is estimated that the help without gaps should be fifteen minutes, and every five minutes, the danger level of demons that may appear in the gates of hell will increase by a level, time, this is what they lack the most.

And most of these demons are still within the boundaries of this city wall, if it weren't for the fact that most of the inhabitants of the city wall area were sacrificed, it might be the demons who slaughtered them now.

But because there were no poor humans here to attract the attention of demons, they lost interest in this empty and dilapidated place more quickly, and moved on to other areas more quickly.

At this moment, the outermost city guard defense line had already come into contact with the first batch of demons flying to the outside world, and the demon resistance battle began at this moment.

Winged demons, the lowest creatures of hell, are nothing extraordinary, but their inferior intelligence makes them not know what fear is, and the reason why they are fearless and not wiped out is their numbers.

There is a limit to the throughput of Hell's Gate, the more powerful the demons pass through, the larger the share, and the winged demons, they are so weak that they barely have to stop swallowing these low-level things.

Densely, a large number of Winged Demons scattered, laughing wildly from the direction of the Gates of Hell, flew towards the first line of defense built at the junction of the walled area and other areas.

"Is it really enough to handle this volume?"

"Damn, I'm just the first time I've been in battle."

"Obviously, the city guards only have to deal with those thieves and the like, why would they have such a thing."

"I'm not going to die here... Whining. ”

The mobilized city guards formed a rudimentary fence of half-man height with simple abandoned carriages, old furniture, and some stones at the boundary between the city walls and the rest of the area.

This is useless for the flying Winged Demons, and it tastes of self-deception for the more powerful demons that appear after them that can't fly.

The armor of the gathered city guards is considered to be the kingdom standard armor made of metal, the quality is not bad, and the bows and swords in their hands are also good products provided by the kingdom unity, this set of equipment can only be owned by any other adventurer guild and mercenary outside the royal city.

But only the equipment can be regarded as sophisticated, and the general strength level of the royal city is one level stronger than that of the outside world, which is determined by the environment and resources, but the mentality and will are sometimes not able to be supplemented by these.

In the face of these swarming Winged Demons, they showed uncontrollable fear and confusion, but they were forced to flee due to military orders.

The number of winged demons made them seem a bit overwhelming, and the body of a human teenager with wings that would be much larger when spread out was not as actual as the flock of birds, but the feeling of oppression was the same.

Although the overall strength of the temporary city guards during the war is not strong, and most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates with little experience and no willpower at all, they are also regular and formed troops that have been incorporated into the kingdom's army, and disobedience to military orders will be punished with horror afterwards.

So even in the face of these large number of Winged Demons, they didn't dare to flee and could only bite the bullet.

"Calm down, these demons are just the earliest vanguard, if these winged demons can't withstand it, then you may all die here today, cheer up and prepare to shoot!"

In the middle of the queue was a gray-haired knight captain commanding these soldiers who had little fighting spirit, and these veterans were either retired from the front-line army and did not want to be idle, or had some kind of dark injury that could not go to the front.

Under his command, despite the chaos and fear, the city guards still gathered as much as possible to form a military formation for shooting, using buildings as cover, ready to shoot.

The leader of the team looked at the Winged Demon who was getting closer and closer, showing composure and calmness, but in fact, his heart was not as calm and calm as he appeared, he had the willpower and insight far beyond the city guards, but at the same time, he was more aware of the horror of the demon.

These Winged Demons are just the vanguard troops, and there are even more terrifying ones to come, and as a team that is unfortunately on the front line, he doesn't know if a few of the others present can survive, and whether he himself can survive.

However, even if you want to die, then you will die after fighting with all your might, "For Alestale, shoot!" As the Winged Demons flew quickly into the firing range of the city guards, the leader's angry roar rang out.

"Click, click!" The sound of the strings pulling was endless, and the soldiers, who were already in a highly tense state, subconsciously pulled the trigger of their bows and crossbows without even listening to the content after hearing the roar of the leader.

The tension of the bowstring turned into the power of the arrows in the process of loosening, and the power of the military bow and crossbow was vividly exerted at this moment, and a large number of arrows rose rapidly in the military formation, flying quickly in the air and shooting into the cluster of the winged demons.

"Do! Quiver! Quiver! "The sharp metal arrows easily pierced the Winged Demon's own unsturdy body, and the Winged Demon who was stabbed in the head died in the air, and the one who was hit in the limb also had no good end, and after a few struggles, he lost his strength and fell from the air.

Even the wings of the Winged Demon could not survive, and the arrows cut through the membrane of the wings, and the impulsive Winged Demon fell to the ground from a height that they could not bear on their own, reduced to a bloody residue.

A salvo of hundreds of people made the array in front of the Winged Demon Group significantly thinner.

Later, because I was not familiar with the loading of bows and crossbows, the shooting became less fast and neat than the first wave, uneven shooting, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air came intermittently.

"Well, these demons aren't that big."

"Scared me, haha."

"I've got to make money this time."

"Be careful, they're a little too many."

"What are you afraid of, this time I said there was a reward."

These inexperienced soldiers lacked confidence, but they built up quickly, and they immediately became excited when they saw how easily they could kill these winged demons by shooting.

"Beware of dodging!" The leader's voice suddenly came.

As if noticing the group of humans shooting at them, the Winged Demons let out a shrill laugh, not the slightest fear from the massive attrition, but even more excited.

A large number of approaching Winged Demons emitted fiery red flames of light from their hands, and fireballs were created by these crazy infernal creatures, and then projected.

The soldiers watched in a daze as the fireballs fell from the sky and fell into a stupor, weren't these demons easy to kill?

Maybe they're right, but these demons can easily kill them.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The neighborhood where the first line of defense was located was plunged into a purgatory of explosions and flames.
