Chapter 60: The Devil Strikes

The joy on the human side did not last long, and despite the victory in the first battle, the pressure on them did not decrease much.

After the fierce battle on the first day, after the failure of the siege and the surprise attack after the defeat, the demons lost thousands of troops, but for the huge demon army, it was not too much to break the bones.

But Black Rock City has exposed almost all of its hole cards.

Double trenches, bows and arrows, and fortified warriors, all of which Zhao Ming could rely on, were all exposed on the first day of battle.

And even if the demon side lacks wisdom, it should deal with it, and the next battle will only become more and more intense.

Sure enough, after a blow, the two Chaos warlords who originally didn't like each other shook hands and made peace. Now in front of them is a human city that is difficult to conquer, and no matter what kind of contradictions they have, they must solve the problems in front of them before dealing with them.

The previous division of forces had little effect, and a large part of the reason was that the disposition of troops on both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages.

The bloodthirsty and belligerent demon army under the vampletian Ballika is desperate, but lacks the ability to adapt and resist human defenses, so they can only fight desperately in close combat.

The army under the command of Xi Tu is composed of a variety of demons, and it is more tactically operable, but the lack of courage to fight to the death against humans has become one of their major weaknesses.

Now, they're truly in one place!

There was a loud noise outside Black Rock City, and the Imperial Knights Gawain and Diesel who were in charge of the guard noticed that something was wrong.

"Look!" Gawain was the first to notice the anomaly.

The demon army was once again slowly advancing towards Black Rock City, and at this time, more than ten hours had passed since the last siege.

Unlike before, this time the demon army was no longer strongly aggressive, and they seemed to have other plans.

As the demon army slowly approached, the human side finally discovered their purpose.

Under the cover of trolls and gargoyles, a large number of vending ghosts and purple demons began to throw a large amount of sand and gravel into the trenches.

Due to their numerical superiority, the demon army has an extremely high landfill rate, and their physical strength is greatly advantaged.

Seeing this scene, Diesel immediately asked Gawain to inform the knights and stop the other party first.

The two split up, with Gawain galloping in the direction of the town hall while Diesel ordered the soldiers to start firing arrows to stop the demons.

Unfortunately, the trolls and gargoyles in the demon army are immune to bows and arrows, and vulticals have no fear. Although those powerful bed crossbows can easily kill demons, the arrows are insufficient and not numerous, and the effect is a drop in the bucket.

Although Diesel was anxious, he couldn't stop the other party from continuing to advance, and could only watch unwillingly as the demon filled the trench step by step.

Finally, in an hour-long space, relying on the demon's endless physical strength, they finally succeeded in filling in the trench that stood in the way!

Zhaoming and the others, who had just arrived at the city tower, secretly screamed in their hearts when they saw this scene, so the pressure on defense was greater.

But that's not the end of it, the demon army is still using earth and rock, and continues to advance in the direction of Black Rock City, it seems that they want to fill in the last trench as well.

"Brother Zhaoming!" Several knights of the Imperial Decree spoke in unison: "We must stop them from lowering the drawbridge, and let us go out to fight!" ”

The knights are full of fighting spirit and are determined to rush out and have a face-to-face fight with the demons, and must stop the opponent's attack as much as possible.

But Zhaoming shook his head and refused: "No, we can't stop them at all, we will only sacrifice in vain, and the leader of the other party has not yet appeared." ”

Zhaoming's words reminded them that what if they could achieve a temporary victory? The demons far outnumbered them, and even if they were repulsed this time, they would be able to continue to bring in earth and rocks to fill the trenches, and any accident that happened to them would be a huge loss.

We can't afford to change it at all!

This was the thought of everyone present, there were also two powerful Chaos Military Techniques in the enemy camp, and their strength was far beyond that of ordinary demons. Just the purple demon that had already appeared before had already shown extraordinary strength, and it had withstood the bombardment of the heavy crossbow and the magic of Zhaoming.

The other Chaos Warlord is a vamplet, who may not be as good as the former in terms of intelligence, but definitely far superior in terms of combat power.

"The best thing we can do now is to keep reinforcing our defenses and hold out until reinforcements arrive." Hal of the Red Scorpion Knights said.

That's right, the only way left in Black Rock City now is to hold on and wait for help.

At the same time, in the north, the Hurricanes stationed by the Red Scorpion Knights are also facing a test.

Bows and arrows and rocks were constantly thrown from the tall city walls, knocking down the strange skeletons clinging to the walls.

These skeletons are similar in shape to normal people, but are shorter due to their lack of flesh and skin.

The Demon Chaos Commander who led the army to attack here was a Skeletron, two feet tall, with two strange blue flames in his terrifying skull.

"This time I brought 50,000 skeleton soldiers to attack the city, but I didn't expect the defense of the human side to be so strong, which made me lose a lot."

Skeletron looked at the battlefield not far from him, and the corners of Hurricane City were already piled with white bones, none other than his skeleton soldiers.

Creatures like skeletons, which have the lowest combat power among demons, are not only unresponsive, but also fragile and can easily be shattered and lose power.

But they have a unique advantage over other demons - numbers!

Chaos warlords who are good at manipulating and controlling undead spirits such as skeletons tend to gather tens of thousands of troops, and although individual combat power is low, as long as there are enough of them, they will produce qualitative changes.

Moreover, the army of skeletons has no mind (not even a brain), so there is no fear of emotion, and it is easier to command.

Hurricane City was attacked by demons three or four days before Black Rock City, and nearly 10,000 skeleton soldiers had already been killed during that time. For Skeletron, these losses are nothing, and it's easy to make anyway.

Moreover, Hurricane City has a large population, and according to his calculations, as long as he captures this place, he can obtain more than 100,000 troops in a short period of time!

"Kill!"

The knights of the Red Scorpion Knights fought at the head of the city, surrounded by an army of brave and fearless minions, who cooperated with each other to resist the attack of the skeleton army.

The swords in their hands were broken in many places, but fortunately, there was always a steady stream of supplies.

A knight of the Red Scorpion Knights stomped on the head of a skeleton soldier at his feet, spat out a cloud of blood from his mouth, and then said indignantly, "Damn it, can't these bone monsters be killed?" ”

One of his knight brothers fought alongside him, and they were in a position where a large number of skeletons had climbed the walls, and although the loopholes were plugged in time, there were still plenty of enemies to be cleared.

"Stop complaining." The other knight spoke slowly, "Save your strength and hold on a little longer!" ”

In Hurricane City, the people who retreated from Black Rock lived in makeshift tents, listening to the constant shouts of killing in their ears and watching the sky-high flames in the distance, no one could sleep peacefully.

Standing outside the camp, Leila watched the fierce battle on the city walls, and couldn't help but worry about the Red Scorpion Knights.

In the hearts of the Black Rock people, these people are generous and good people, and it is unimaginable to hurt any of them.

... ...

Black Rock City.

After the trench was filled, the demon army did not attack immediately, but retreated to the rear to regroup.

Although he had more time to deal with it, Zhaoming didn't dare to take it lightly and kept patrolling around.

Finally, the demon attacked in the middle of the night, far more violently than on the first day!

Vamplets, gargoyles, trolls, purple demons and other monsters attacked at the same time, because without the hindrance of the trenches, the demon tide became more and more ferocious.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Move the stones!"

……

Fierce battles erupted on all sections of the wall, and the tall trolls rushed towards the walls with fire, pounding their fists wildly against the blackstone walls.

The humans standing on the city wall suddenly felt the ground shake, and many people fell uncontrollably.

At the same time, an army of vending ghosts frantically climbs towards the city, intent on venting their bloodthirsty desires.

"Oops!"

The knights were shocked, the troll's threat was too great to be dealt with immediately.

Sevita was the first to act, and he followed the source of the earthquake to find the troll, and at the same time the humans and demons looked at each other.

Sevita shouted, "Die! ”

With a sword in one hand and a fixed chain in the other, the Silver Sword Knight quickly jumped off the wall and headed straight for the demon.

Raklaβ€”β€”!

Sevita made a big hole in the troll's head, and the slow-moving troll was killed before he could even react.

Then the soldiers of the Black Rock Guard pulled the chains, and Sevita returned to the city wall, unfazed, as if it had just been a casual matter.

But in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, the knight's actions just now were shocking!

"It's terrifying, such a big monster was directly killed by the knight!"

"I can't see his movements clearly at all, I'm afraid that his strength will be above the outside lord!"

The knights of the edict followed their captain's example, and the troll's attack was stopped.

Zhaoming, who was watching the battle, saw the trolls fall to the ground, and the pressure in his heart plummeted, but he soon discovered the accident.

A demon has come to the top of the city!

The Black Rock Guards are no match for demons in melee combat, and at first they can compete with them due to their numbers and location, but as more and more demons ascend to the city, the disadvantage of humans grows!

"Ahem......"

Haricho's team came to stop the demon, but he didn't expect that his side was not an opponent at all, and now all of them were injured, and they were almost powerless to fight back!
