30. Since it is impossible to avoid
(I almost forgot the second shift today, I was scared to death.) 23οΌwx.οΌ
Jace ended up only hurting his shoulder, but not fatally, and was soon recovering under the watchful eye of the priest, which made Lilith feel less guilty.
After all, Belyl is here for herself, not Jace, she is just unilaterally protected, so in the new day, it is also her turn to do something for him.
"Yo, Dorena, Lilith, ah, and Asmo. β
Arthur greeted as usual, but judging from her brow, which was not too stretched, the situation ahead was not optimistic.
"Arthur, the battle situation. β
Dorana frowned, because this scene always felt like it happened yesterday, "Also, please pay attention to your behavior and don't ...... in public"
"One good news, one bad news. β
Arthur joked as usual, "Everyone likes to hear the good news first, so I'll tell the good news first." The good news, Lilith, is that you don't have to waste mana to set up defenses. β
"Well, that's fine, that thing really can't bear it. Lilith nodded, "The bad news, is it that Beliel has given up any strategy and rushed over with her troops like a bull?"
"You know all this!?"
Arthur blinked, and the seemingly exaggerated action had already betrayed the fact that she was not surprised at all, "Lilith, you are so good, the Lun family is good at announcing you." β
β...... That's what smart people do. β
Lilith pouted.
Belyl is a clever demon, even more than she thinks about herself, since she knows that there is no way to avoid it. Then simply drop ten times with one force. Use brute force directly to break through the defense.
"It's Belyl. Well, only she would do that. β
"And Arthur, what about the situation? the strength of the enemy and the enemy, the distance of the enemy at the moment, the predicted time to arrive here, and the enemy's commander. β
Dorana muttered, "I want to know. Can we ensure victory in this battle, even if it is a pyrrhic victory? β
"The enemy is mostly a hybrid force. As Arthur organized the language, Augie stepped forward, "So, Lilith's strategy of surrender won't work, because they won't listen to the leaders of the other two orcs. In terms of military strength, the number of enemies is slightly more than the number of defenders, the ratio is almost 1.3 to 1. β
"I'm good at the distance. β
Arthur took Auggie's words. "It's probably going to be more than an hour before the enemy comes. The enemy's main general, well, is the demon Belyl who escaped last night. β
"It's been just over an hour!?" Dorana was taken aback, and then pulled down her face, "Arthur, why don't you ...... it sooner"
"Anyway, the final decision must be to rely on the protection of the fortress to fight a battle to defend the city and counter-charge, I guessed it a long time ago, isn't it?
β...... Next time, you can't know and not report it. β
Probably choked by Arthur's words, Dorana took a moment to come back to her senses.
However, I have to say that Arthur's judgment at that time was indeed correct, even if Arthur didn't say so, Lilith wanted to build Dolana's construction, and she relied on the fortress to defend and counter-charge.
A rash attack can only lead to the enemy's trap, and although it feels like a battle against the back, it is the safest way to do it, and it can also inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
The losses of the defending side will definitely be smaller, and after that, after letting the knights on ironclad horses make a counter-charge, the outcome of this battle is basically a foregone conclusion.
"The only variable is Belyl. Lilith pondered for a moment, "Dorana, I'll leave this guy to ......."
γBangγ
Explosions!?
"There's a problem in town!"
Dorana immediately drew her sword, and at the same time as the explosion was heard, a small shadow appeared in the sky.
It was the enemy, and they were supposed to arrive for a while, but as the flying units of the vanguard, they had already reached the fortress first, and most of them did not need to climb the high walls.
Changeable species, this is also one of the troublesome places for orcs.
"I'll leave this to Ashmill and I. I'll leave the rest to you. β
For the shortcomings of this kind of ground unit, only Lilith and Ashmill can be angry here, and after floating into the sky, Lilith also saw the true face of these flying creatures.
It has a bat-like body, but with larger wings and already sharp claws. What kind of hybrid is this!
β...... Disgusting. β
Lilith muttered a whisper, and just as the attack was about to begin, the enemy, sensing the danger, scattered like agile birds.
"Less use of the magic of the crowd, the preparation time is too long. Asmo said, flicking his hand like a dart and sending out a cross-spear, knocking one of them out of the sky.
"These guys must be so fragile with such big wings, a fireball is enough. β
There was already black smoke coming out of the inside of the fortress, and although she couldn't hear the sound, she could also sense that something unusual was happening, and it seemed that Belyl not only used brute force to decide to fight head-on, but also completely used the advantages of the orcs to take her side by surprise.
Just because you don't see the enemy on the ground doesn't mean there's no underground. It is said that there is a mole that digs into the ground.
Belle, if there was a sea here, wouldn't she be attacked by land, sea and air?
"Lilith, you stand out for a moment. Seeing that the big bats were getting closer and closer, Ashmar stopped Lilith, who was about to continue casting spells, and then looked at Augie and Arthur, who had already jumped off the fortress below, "Hide on Augie's side first, you are too vulnerable to injury in the sky." β
β...... You be careful. β
"Wash the road with peace of mind, I'm still waiting to go back to my hometown and get married. β
Don't be so blatant!
"Arthur. Holding Lilith behind her, Augie, who was holding the sword that had turned into a bow and arrow, pointed into the distance, where there was a lone black shadow, most likely the demon Beryl. 500 meters, 200 meters...... It's coming!"
Although she had just been injured last night, Beryl regained her vitality today as if nothing happened, and after seeing that the sneak attack on Lilith was fruitless, she turned her attention to the most threatening person - Arthur.
"Oh roar! It's been a long time since I've fought a demon. β
Arthur cheered and swung his sword at Beryl's arm, leaving only a string of sparks.
"Hey, weird, are you Astro Boy!?"
After using his brute force to knock Beryl away, Arthur swung his sword and swept at Belyl's leg, but the result was still the same as before, except for a string of sparks, nothing happened.
"It's decided, I'll call you Gundam in the future. β
Relieved, Beryl swung her fist against Arthur's hilt, and after a dizzy shudder, she shook off her slashed hand and stepped back a little.
This thing, called an ex curry stick, is not so easy to be hammered.
"It's hardening, but it's quite an appetite for me. β
Arthur grinned and swung his sword away from Beryl's attack, and Auggie, who had been given the opportunity, also put down the battle in his hand and drew the bowstring in Beryl's direction.
γBangγ
After easily blocking the arrow with her arms, Beryl also took advantage of the situation and flew backwards into the sky, and at the same time, the goat's horns, which represented the demon, and the three pairs of black wings slowly opened.
Belle, has she finally been forced to change her form?
But it's so strange why she came alone, if she came with the army, it would obviously be even more chaotic here.
Because Belle's speed of action is relatively fast, but what is the use of just one person rushing over with a small number of air units. The same is true in the fortress, if you don't cooperate with the external attack, even if you dig a hole in the ground and cause chaos inside the fortress, what effect will it have?
This Belyl, what the hell is she thinking about?
Although I don't know what Beryl has in her heart after saying a word, she can only speak with her fists in the face of the fact that she has now become a demon.
"Be careful, it's not the beginning now. (To be continued......)
