Chapter 58: The Purple Demon Army
Black Rock City is facing an unprecedented crisis, and two Chaos warlords have joined forces to attack, and the city with the weakest human defense line is in turmoil.
And in Hurricane City to the north of it, there are still countless people who are worried about it at this moment.
Since moving to Hurricane City, these evacuated civilians have been constantly worried about the situation in their homeland.
They prayed in their hearts that their families back home would get through the storm as soon as possible and come and take them home.
When a young boy asked his mother why he hadn't come with them, he gently touched his head and said, "Dad wants to help the lord protect our family, and as long as we get through this difficulty, we will have a better life in the future." β
The boy blinked his eyes, and said with a sense of pride in his heart: "I want to go with them too!" β
His mother smiled and said, "You're too young to help." β
"Oh." The boy bowed his head in some frustration.
Then a young girl came up to him and said, "No, now we just need to take care of ourselves here, and let them have no worries is the best help!" β
The boy looked up and it turned out to be Leila, the administrator!
As the leader of the team, Layla's responsibilities these days are definitely no less than everyone who is fighting in Black Rock.
She had to take care of the Black Rock Guard's family, and after this period of training, she already had a mature temperament.
Hearing her words, the boy's eyes lit up, and his mother thanked her.
Lyra smiled slightly, said goodbye to them, and went to see the person in charge sent by the Red Scorpion Knights.
It was not easy to be away from home, but the warm hospitality of the Red Scorpion Knights brought them some comfort.
A knight in full armor with a crimson scorpion on his shoulder armor stepped up to Lyra.
Leila thanked him for the Red Scorpion Knights for their selfless help to the people of Black Rock.
"Lord Isua, on behalf of my lord, I once again thank you and the Red Scorpion Knights."
Izuah took off his helmet, revealing a face that, though scarred, still radiant.
He is the Grand Mentor of the Red Scorpion Knights and the person in charge of contacting Black Rock City.
"You're welcome Miss Leila, it's our responsibility as warriors of the goddess." Izuah replied calmly.
While the two were talking, the sound of battle could be heard again in the distance.
The two of them looked at the flaming city wall in the distance, not only the black rock, but every stronghold west of the human world was under fierce attack.
There were 20,000 demons attacking Hurricane City, but the situation in Hurricane City was much better than that of Black Rock. The Red Scorpion Knights have been stationed here for many years and are well garrisoned, and the Red Scorpion Knights are in full strength, with 1,200 knights and 5,000 servants, so it is not a problem for such a force to stop the demons.
Izuah looked at Leila, her eyes were full of worry, the demon's attack was quite terrifying, and she didn't know what was going on in Black Rock City.
Isua didn't say much, the Hal he sent has not returned, and the Black Rock Lord Zhaoming can make him willing to stay, it must be extraordinary.
Layla came back to her senses and looked at the Black Rock Man behind her, she noticed a familiar figure - Elusa, I wonder who she was worried about more than the lord or her brother?
β¦β¦
Eyes moved to the side of Black Rock, after a long attack, the vamplet suffered heavy losses, but he had not really climbed the walls of Black Rock.
So far, the Templars and the valiant Black Rock Guards have suffered no casualties!
Finally, under the pressure of this huge battle loss ratio, the Chaos warlord Balleka had to temporarily withdraw his troops.
The scarlet-faced Chaos Warlord yelled at Black Rock City, "His grandmother's! This group of weak chicken humans is despicable and shameless! β
The Purple Demon Boiling Diagram, who had been watching the play for a while, let out a weird laugh and said, "Valleka, that's the case with your subordinates, it's up to me for the rest!" β
Valleka was not angry, things had come to this point, although the vending ghosts under his command did not really break through the defense line, but they greatly consumed the physical strength and materials of the human defenders.
Now not only do you have to bring people to rush up to pick peaches, but you also have to mock yourself afterwards, and you are angry when you think about it!
But he has no choice, his subordinates are really not angry, although he is not afraid of death, he has no brains, and more importantly, he has no brains himself!
The human side defending on the city wall saw the demon army slowly retreating, and their hearts were suddenly excitedβthe demon's attack was blocked!
"We made it!"
I don't know who spoke first, but the soldiers of the Black Rock Guard shouted happily, as if the fatigue of the bloody battle just now was gone.
Zhao Ming watched the demon retreat with relief, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as he survives the first wave of offsets, the battle will be smoother and smoother after that.
But Sevita, who was beside Zhaoming, was out of step with the atmosphere of intense celebration, and he frowned thoughtfully.
Zhao Ming noticed that something was wrong with him, and asked with some curiosity: "Brother Sevita, we just won a battle, but why don't I think you seem to be so happy?" β
Saivita said with some apprehension: "Brother Zhaoming, look. β
Sevita pointed to the demon camp in the distance, where the two Chaos warlords Valleka and Rytu stood.
"That's the Purple Demon, they're different from the vamplets, they're the most cunning."
Sevita's fears are not unfounded, vamplitists are incredibly powerful, but they lack intelligence, and humans can cope with their strong defenses.
But the Purple Demon is much more cunning than the Vamplets, and their armies are often made up of a mix of multiple demons, which work with each other and are able to use unexpected tactics that threaten far more than the Warlike Vultarians!
Sure enough, the celebration on the human side didn't last long, and the demon army pounced again.
The Purple Demon Brew Diagram's army is different from Valleka's He recruited many demons with different abilities and taught them the tactics that he was proud of.
"Complacent humans, come and taste my awesomeness, I believe I can give you unexpected surprises!"
Unlike the bloodletting's swarm-like charge, the Purple Demon Boiling Chart's troops advanced in a neat array.
The main force of these demons is a gargoyle, a presence with a body like a stone, and its attack power is not as good as that of a vamplet, but its defense power is higher than that of the former, which is just flesh and blood.
And there are some special kinds of demons mixed in these queues.
There are tall trolls, slow but incredibly powerful, with dark gray skin and terrifying countenances that give them a terrifying sense of oppression.
There are also small demonic blastworms that resemble frogs but are reddish-colored, and their bulging bellies are filled with a magma-like liquid with terrifying powers.
However, they did not advance immediately, but unhurriedly lined up.
Seeing such a terrifying lineup, on the human side, the fighting spirit that had just been ignited seemed to be extinguished by a basin of water.
But Zhaoming immediately boosted morale: "Don't be frightened by the enemy, as long as we are united, there is nothing to fear!" β
Hearing the lord's encouragement, the soldiers of the Black Rock Guard cheered up again and entered the battle mode.
At this time, the logistics troops and volunteers led by Kaeya also climbed the city wall with supplies to help the battle.
"My lord, we have brought new equipment and food, let's rest first!"
Zhaoming replied: "It's just right to come, this demon wants to play tactics with us, so we'll play with them." β
It is the best choice to adapt to all changes with the same at the moment.
The soldiers of the Black Rock Guard took the food from the hands of the logistics troops, relaxed for a moment, and began to regain their strength.
"Give me another loaf of bread!"
"There's no hurry, there's a lot more."
"I'm running out of stones here, are there any supplies?"
"Yes, I'll move here."
β¦β¦
The soldiers seized the rare opportunity to recuperate, and Zhaoming gathered the Templars.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy doesn't look easy to deal with this time, so we need to be more careful in the future."
The crowd nodded, and then summed up the experience gained from the various battles.
Karga, the knight of the Imperial Decree, said: "In my opinion, we cannot just be on the defensive. β
The Templars set their sights on this unremarkable brother, who seemed to have a big plan.
After a while, the demon once again sounded the horn of attack, and the arranged formation slowly advanced towards Black Rock City.
Valleka complained to Boiltu nonchalantly: "After a long time, there is no difference between your tactics and mine, it's just a gathering of people." β
Facing Valleka's questioning, he smiled: "You'll find out soon." β
I saw that the demon army advanced all the way, and when it reached a distance of fifty paces from the city wall, it was attacked by bows and arrows as before.
Compared to before, the density and power of this wave of arrow rain are somewhat insufficient. The strength of the defenders was not fully restored, and temporarily drafted volunteers could not take on the duties of archers.
Moreover, the gargoyle's skin is very hard, and the bow and arrow are not lethal enough to it.
Observing this characteristic, Zhaoming immediately ordered to stop shooting arrows and stop wasting arrows.
Seeing that the humans stopped firing arrows, the demon army advanced even more unscrupulously, and soon approached the trench.
The vCPUs, who had been caught off guard by the trap, left hundreds of corpses in the trenches and piled up a few footholds for the demon army to pass through.
Seeing this scene, the Chaos Warlord Valeka regretted it even more, but the sacrifice of his subordinates made a wedding dress for Boil.
He has always felt that he is very smart and extraordinary, and he has been going according to the plan, and he can capture Black Rock City in front of Rayka Valleka!
However, he overlooked one point, these landing points caused the demon's formation to change, and the speed of the demon's attack slowed down in order to pass through the narrow passage.
Seeing the change in the demon's formation, Zhaoming immediately seized the opportunity.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
Zhaoming raised his hands above his head, and the elemental magic was activated at this moment, and the orange-red fireball began to condense.
At his side, Ezekiel immediately followed, a purple unquenchable fire burning in his hands.
"Up!"
Zhaoming pushed the fiery fireball towards the demon, and the fireball with a diameter of more than 5 meters was like a small sun, and the speed was very fast.
Rumble!
The fireball explodes in the demon army, and the gargoyle closest to the fireball and lacks fire resistance is directly melted by the flames!
