VI. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 400 The Raid on the City of Rafiz
As the thick black smoke galloped in, quickly approaching the city of Rafis, the people finally saw the appearance of the enemy.
"Oh my God, what's that?" Several soldiers screamed. The intruders weren't humans, they were a bunch of tall giants and demons!
They rushed towards the earth city with crazy steps, trembling with every step they took on the ground. These pitch-black demons are emblazoned with turquoise demonic runes, demonic spikes on their backs, and giant warhammers in their hands.
Roar!
They roared in unison, as if a thunderstorm rolled through the air, and it was endless.
"Looks like it's a bit difficult to deal with." The young man slung the greatsword on his shoulder, and his face grimly watched as the threat in front of him was getting closer and closer.
"Two thousand steps to go." Mi stretched out his thumb and gestured a few times in front of his eyes. In fact, she didn't know how to measure distance with her thumb at all, but she thought that the way the catapult commanders aimed like this was handsome, so she imitated it.
Lydia pressed down on the tip of the spear, motioning for everyone to hold steady. "Wait for them to get closer." She said cautiously.
Mira reminded: "Now there are only 1,500 steps left. ”
Lydia took a few deep breaths, "Wait, get them closer." ”
Mira's heart almost jumped out of her throat, "Your Highness Princess, it's less than a thousand steps in a moment. ”
Lydia spear moves, "Catapult attention, fire!" ”
Ten catapults struck down at the same time, and ten round cannonballs whistled through the air with a sharp sound, heading straight for the local assault legion.
Although the demons were sent out, they were only used as pathfinders, and there was no one to direct them. They watched as the shells dragged the fuse of sparks into their galloping ranks.
Bang! Bang!
The bomb unleashed a sky-high fire, a loud blast that tore through the air, and a powerful shockwave blasted the demonic army to pieces.
"Launch! Keep launching! Lydia commanded loudly.
The catapult continued to drop bombs, and the bed crossbow fired a burst spear. The skin of those demons, though hard, could not stop the powerful potential energy of the bed crossbow. Many demons were skewered by short spears, and then blasted apart in the blazing flames.
Explosions rang out one after another, and the demons' tall bodies were thrown high under the power of the blast, falling hard. Some demons were blown to pieces, some were blown to the ground, and some were scorched and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Look, it's just a bunch of demons, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Lydia shouted, "Archer, salvo!" ”
Countless arrows rained down on the demon's ranks. Those arrows shimmered brightly in the sunlight, as if with the power of holy light, illuminating the fear in the demon's eyes.
These arrows, known as the "Holy Arrows", were used by the gods to restrain demons, and were used by the Templar Crusaders to thwart the Demon King's invasion during the First Demon War.
However, the real "Holy Arrow" is not easy to make, and it requires a "Holy Attribute" soul stone that is a specialty of the "Divine Light Empire" as a raw material. As a result, there are very few armies that can be equipped with holy arrows, and even knights of the eighth seat like Lydia are not qualified to use this soul stone as a weapon.
But in the face of not smiling, this is not a problem.
He just took a broken arrow that Lydia had with him, carefully studied the inscription on the arrow for a moment, then took a pen and paper, drew another rune, and gave it to the craftsman to build.
Lydia hurriedly reminded him: "This is not an ordinary soul rune, this is a divine power that can produce a powerful explosion when hitting a demon......"
Buxiao raised his face at the drawing, and replied lightly: "This can also be done." ”
This batch of special "holy arrows" made by the Red Pavilion did not disappoint. With Lydia's order, ten thousand arrows were fired at the demon army. The salvo was incredibly powerful, and each arrow hit its target accurately, blasting the demon in all directions, wailing incessantly.
Lydia didn't expect that she would be able to create a holy arrow without smiling without using a holy attribute soul stone, and she was immediately overjoyed, "Oh my God, that guy shouldn't be really a genius, right?" ”
Hei Ningxue finally saw her eyebrows after watching from the sidelines for a long time, "This is not the Divine Light Empire's method of using holy light to directly destroy demons, this is a 'detoxifying' soul technique. ”
"What's the 'hugging' soul technique?" Lydia hurriedly asked.
The Black Condensation Snow Feather Fan pointed far away, "Those soul arrows are using the soul energy in the demon's body, and when they are shot, the runes of the arrows will induce the soul energy in the demon's body to flow in multiple directions. This caused the soul energy to explode and tear apart the bodies of those demons. ”
Lydia didn't quite understand what Black Snow was saying, but she was already cheering as she watched the demons turn to ashes in the explosion.
The charge of the demon legion was completely crushed, and under the deterrence of the so-called "holy arrows", they did not dare to continue to rush forward. But without a commander, these intellectually inferior demons didn't know how to respond to this fierce attack.
"It's time!" Realizing that this was the perfect time to fight back, Lydia raised her spear and pointed it at the demons, shouting, "Warriors, the time has come to dispel evil, illuminate every dark corner, and purify those filthy beasts!" ”
With that, she jumped off the city wall and landed right on the chocobo, "Open the door, and drive these demons back to hell with me!" ”
Lydia's battle cry echoed in the air, as if the blood of the soldiers was boiling in an instant. Gripping their weapons tightly in their hands, their eyes shining with determination, they followed Lydia out of the gates.
The demon legions outside the city were still trying to regroup, roaring, grinding their teeth and claws ready to charge again, tearing through the earthen wall in front of them and slaughtering all the creatures that resisted them.
But what they didn't expect was that the gates opened.
Lydia led the way, her spear dancing in the sunlight like a silver dragon churning and jumping. Each flicker of the tip of the spear brought with it an afterimage, intertwined like a storm, stabbing at the demons in front of them.
The army of the Red Pavilion followed, their morale high, chanting slogans of victory, as if they were about to overturn the entire desert.
"Dragon Flame Burning the Sky!" The young man held the Red Dragon Giant Sword and dragged a blazing wall of fire across the demon group, as if a real dragon had appeared.
Mila nimbly weaves her way back and forth through the demon horde with a pair of steel forks in her hand. Her figure is elusive, the steel fork in her hand is like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and she flies out of her hands with lightning speed, and every time she can accurately find the demon's weakness and kill her with one blow.
And Lydia, who rushed to the front, was even more courageous, the spear in her hand was like a meteor, and each shot was stabbed with an incomparably fierce momentum, which could penetrate the defenses of all demons.
In the sun, I saw that her spear drew arcs after arcs, and every swing carried a splash of turquoise demon blood!
The momentum of the Red Pavilion Sergeant was like a rainbow, sweeping through the demon army like a wind and clouds, and the demon sergeant was wiped out in an instant. The chaotic battlefield finally fell silent at this moment...... But the silence didn't last long.
A scream alarmed everyone, and a soldier wearing a ghost mask walked out of the demon horde. He was armed with two knives, covered in a layer of black scale armor, as if he was invulnerable.
The appearance of this soldier made both the young man and Mira feel a strong chill.
"This man...... A little off. The young man instinctively took a stance, "Roar, Red Dragon!" With that, he swung his greatsword and lunged at the mysterious soldier.
The soldier's twin knives danced so rapidly that it was almost impossible to see. Only the clanging of weapons was heard, and the young man's attack was parried by the man.
Mira was in a hurry and hurriedly lifted the steel fork to join the fight. Neck, subribs, joints, she fired several forks in a row, attacking common defensive weaknesses. But she didn't expect that in front of her sharp steel fork, the opponent's body was an impregnable line of defense, and it didn't hurt him at all.
"Get out of here!" Lydia rode out of the Landing Chocobo.
She rode extremely fast, rushed to the ghost-faced soldier and stabbed with her spear, only to hear a "bang", and the soldier was blown away by the powerful impact and fell ten paces away.
But before Lydia could rejoice, the ghost-faced soldier actually got up again, unceremoniously brandishing his twin knives, and rushed towards Lydia.
"Looks like I'm going to have to hang up?" Although Lydia felt a little embarrassed on her face, she couldn't eat face after all. Seeing that the ghost-faced soldier had rushed closer, Lydia pointed her spear at it, and the tip of the spear immediately erupted into flames.
Rumble!
Lydia's spear burst out like a soul cannon, and the cannon blew up the heavens and the earth, and the entire desert seemed to be shaken. Everyone present felt only a loud bang in their ears, and then they couldn't hear anything.
After a long time, everyone's hearing gradually returned to normal. Looking at the ghost-faced soldier again, the part above the navel has been completely blown away, leaving only the lower half of his body lying on the ground, bleeding demonic blood all over the ground.
"Oh my God, it's a ...... Person! Hei Ningxue stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "Lord Buxiao guessed correctly, the magic star is indeed doing human experiments." ”
"Human experiments?" The young man asked.
Hei Ningxue nodded, "When the Demon Star sent people to kidnap the common people before, I was very strange. Even if it is sent to Demon Island for sacrifice, it should not be done this season. Now it seems that he must have infused these commoners with demonic blood. ”
The young man was shocked, "Could it be that this man is actually an innocent person?" ”
"Humans cannot bear the blood of demons." Hei Ningxue sighed lightly, "From the moment it was poured into demonic blood, this was a moving corpse. ”
Mira asked softly, "Didn't the princess be able to bombard this thing with one shot?" Why do you still look nervous? ”
The young man pursed his lips, "Do you know the name of the princess's move just now?" ”
Mira shook her head.
Lydia's expression was gloomy, completely devoid of the joy of victory. She looked carefully at the hot spear in her hand, "Don't laugh, this is the last trick of this gun, called 'Dragon Slaying Cannon'." ”
