Chapter 453: Demon Hunting Fortress
Demon Hunter Fortress.
It seems that this place has just experienced a great war, and the corpses of all kinds of demons are left here and there.
In particular, the first wall was almost completely occupied by demons, and it was covered with dense demon corpses, and even the city wall below had many cracks and depressions.
However, it is clear that the thickness of the wall is thicker than Arka thought.
And it shouldn't be his delusion, he saw the walls slowly repairing.
Several huge demons fell to the wall, apparently not breaking it until they died.
Some mercenaries, as well as soldiers, began to collect demon corpses on the city walls.
Some of the materials from the demon's corpse were stripped away, and the remaining body was left behind the city walls.
You can also see many humans and soldiers jumping off the city walls with various hanging baskets and their own means, harvesting the corpses of demons and those weapons all over the battlefield.
However, there is a certain amount of risk in this situation, but it has only just been defeated by the demon, so it is the time when the risk is minimal.
These demonic weapons, which are also forged from various ores from the abyss, are also rare trophies.
In addition, all kinds of troops were busy around the city walls, carrying all kinds of wounded on stretchers towards the infirmary inside the fortress.
In addition to this, there are many more people who are converging the corpses of their teammates.
Some of those who can still see the original appearance clearly are better, and those who can no longer see the original appearance clearly can only tear off the dog tag with his name written on it from the neck and various parts of the body.
Alka leaned against the second-tier wall and sat back to regain his strength.
His magic was almost drained.
Why is this happening? It's all because of Arka, they've just made it to the Demon Hunter Fortress through the walls.
The first time they just joined the siege battle, it is impossible for them not to help in such a situation.
Naturally, he began to attack the demons below, and finally saw how fierce and anxious the battle here was.
Use a variety of elemental cards to attack, and almost drain the magic of Alka.
Some demons are like a tide, and the third and fourth stages are just like ants coming in.
There was no shortage of five of them, and throughout the siege, Arka saw hundreds of characters with golden points of light defending against the more powerful demons.
I even saw several orange treasures in it.
Compared to the first time he came to the Demon Hunter Fortress to deal with the siege battle, the scene was much more exaggerated.
After all, it was just a temporary siege launched by the Devouring Mouth, mainly to give Arka a dismount.
And make a declaration of hunting.
Arka sat like this, with people coming and going in front of him, and the soldiers who could still move were busy.
Jason took a few steps and dragged himself to Arka and sat down.
Jason's blood stains can be seen.
"How did you do this?" Arka looked at Jason's appearance and couldn't help but ask.
At this time, there were still carapaces made of crystals left everywhere on Jason's body, and of course all kinds of carapaces were in a broken state.
"What else? I was close to the demon, and my hands were soft. Jason chuckled twice.
Hearing this, Arka shook his head helplessly.
Holding on to the wall, he slowly stood up, then turned his head to look around the fortress.
Others were soon found in various places, and Matresa controlled her water bottle and needle as she moved around the battlefield, treating the critically wounded.
You can also see countless small figures, also moving around the battlefield to help those medics heal.
Simon's physical strength seems to be very well preserved, and he is working with some personnel of the Holy Machine Church to repair various city defense equipment that has not been completely destroyed.
Although the battle had only just passed, there were a lot of demons, and it was inevitable that they would start attacking again after a while.
When the time comes, it will be too late to repair it.
Obviously, the demon had just been repelled, but the entire fortress was still busy, and it was only a little lighter than the tense atmosphere before.
"So how the hell did these people hold on?" Jason said with a sigh.
The world they joined was already in the middle stage of the demonic attack, and by the time they came, many demons had already rushed to the first wall.
But a wall is the only place these demons can climb.
If the fighting was always so intense, it would obviously be a great challenge for the nerves of these soldiers.
"Maybe it's getting used to it? Who knows. Aka didn't have much strength right now, he didn't bother to think, so he rested against the wall.
"Alka? I heard you were attacked on the way here? Salaro, dressed in blood-stained and dented armor, asked as he walked over.
"How do you know?" Arka asked, a little strangely.
"It was discovered by the patrol in the rear, and the Grand Judge said that it may have been sent by the Devouring Mouth to target you.
It's amazing, I actually killed so many. ”
Hearing this, Arka waved his hand.
Salaro looked at Jason next to Arka and reached out to shake him.
"I'm Centurion Sararo."
"Jason."
"I just saw you on the battlefield, and you fought well." Salaro looked at Jason in admiration.
"Yes, thanks for the compliment." Jason stood up and said with a smile.
"Is this your companion?" Salaro asked, turning his head to look at Arka.
Arka smiled and nodded.
"You didn't tell me before that your companions were so good."
"It's too much, hahaha."
Arka, who had just suddenly joined the battle, could indeed be regarded as shining to some extent.
In an instant, the pressure on some areas is relieved.
In particular, Arka, which uses various elemental cards, can be said to be one of the most conspicuous existences in the entire battlefield by manipulating various elements.
However, neither Jason nor Urulius fused or turned into a dragon.
Mainly in that kind of battle, fighting with such an exaggerated body size, in the case of Arka, they are not ready to support, they can only become targets.
They don't know the whole battlefield either. And there is a risk that soldiers who don't know about it will be seen as enemies.
Maybe it will help, but it's not too late to use it when you get acquainted with it.
Salaro just came over for a moment, then got busy again.
After most of the day, wait until it gets dark. The sky was covered by a curtain, and the fortress finally relaxed a little after making sure there were still no demons coming.
Arka: They were given a dwelling inside the fortress.
It is a small stone tower with three floors.
The aqua-blue water sign appeared with a large amount of clear water gushing out, and then poured down.
Alka was in control like this, taking a simple shower to wash some dirt from his body.
Jason and Juan Lu were also on the side.
With the dirt washed off the body! Mixed into a crimson stream, the water flowed around.
Those are either ordinary soldiers' or demonic blood.
"Hasn't Martlisha come back yet?" Arka asked after a turn.
Xia Daiti shook his head, and then said with a smile: "She is now known as the existence of the four-armed angel, so be respectful." ”
"Oh?"
Alka made a puzzled sound, controlling the wind card, blowing the water stains on his body.
"Madelisa, since the end of the battle, has been on the run for healing.
You know, with her treasures and healing techniques, it's very simple for these ordinary traumas.
The healing effect is good, the efficiency is fast, and it can also pull many dying soldiers from the Grim Reaper, so it is natural to be given such a title. ”
Hearing this explanation, Arka nodded.
That is, indeed.
"What about Bororo?"
"To help with Mattlisa, of course."
Of course, Simon wasn't there, but when Arka came over, he had already seen Simon busy with the various city defense machines.
It can only be said that although they came here for the first time, with a sudden battle, they integrated very well.
"Why don't you take a break? Your face is not good. Shadetti said as he looked at Arka's expression.
They don't have the power of a humanoid autocannon on the battlefield with elemental cards like Arka does.
It's like trying to spend a lot of your magic and can't find a channel.
And Arka now wants to drain his mana too easily, just mix his various elements and expand the range.
During the day, Arka can be said to be the one who kills the most demons, and is also the one who consumes the most of them.
Throughout the fortress, you can see various elemental attacks used by Arka.
"It's really not good, I'll go and rest first."
Arka said, rubbing her somewhat swollen head.
Then he walked into the small stone tower.
Sink straight into the dream.
……
In the midst of a burst of snoring.
Arka wakes up.
A few people on the beds around them were still immersed in dreams, snoring everywhere.
Looks like yesterday did tire them out.
Arka got up and put on his coat and walked out.
But as soon as I came out, I saw those mercenary soldiers outside coming and going.
I also saw soldiers who seemed to have come to change their guards to replace some of the wounded, and soldiers who had fought here several times told them to go to the rear to rest.
There's no kitchen to make breakfast for them.
Juan Lu also woke up at some point and came behind Alka.
"When did you wake up?"
"I wasn't as exaggerated as you were on the battlefield yesterday." Juan Lu said with a smile.
Then he took out a few dry food from his pocket and handed it to him.
Alka took it and picked up a glass of water, eating and drinking.
After a while, a soldier came to them.
"Is it Arka-sama, please?"
Hearing this, Arka looked up at him and nodded.
"I am."
"Hello, the Grand Judge has something to ask for."
Hearing this, Arka swallowed the dry food in his hand in a few bites, and then nodded at Juanlu.
"Lead the way."
Follow the soldier in front of him towards the center of the fortress.
Ascending the city wall, and through the road of the city wall, you entered the stone tower that topped the huge gray-purple gem that emitted a gray-purple gem.
This is the command office of the entire fortress.
As soon as I came in, I saw that it was busy.
He was then led by the soldier into the innermost room.
Knocking on the door and entering, you can see what Grefal is writing.
When he saw Arka come in, he stopped his pen and stood up.
"Thank you, and your companion for your help yesterday."
"No, after all, we belong to the churches as well. It's only right to be here to help fight off demons. ”
Facing Arka's words, Griffal nodded and didn't say anything more.
"So do you have anything to do here? Or are you here to support? ”
Hearing this, Arka said directly: "We are here to support, and it is said that an all-out attack like this will make the battle very intense." Hopefully, our presence will provide a force. ”
Hearing this, Arka could clearly feel that Grefal was in a good mood.
Even his serious face seemed to soften.
"That's great, with you and your companions, some things will be a lot easier."
However, Grefal thought for a moment and said, "As I told you before, most of the demons that the Demon Hunter Fortress deals with are led by the Devouring Mouth.
To put it simply, if you divide it according to the territory, the demon leaders who attack the demon hunting fortress are the mouth of devouring. ”
In other words, if Arka were here, they might be targeted by the Devouring Mouth.
Arka nodded: "I'm mentally prepared for this, and even in other places, it's not really much of a difference, isn't it?" ”
Hearing this, Grefal couldn't help but think of what the patrol team had reported before, thought about it and nodded, as if it was true.
In such a situation, it is really like devouring the mouth to take advantage of the loophole and send some demons to the rear to target Arka and them. So it doesn't make much difference whether Alka is here or not.
After thinking about it, Grefal said, "Then the goal of your team gathering together is too big, if you don't mind, can you temporarily place your team members in various parts?" ”
To put it simply, after yesterday's observation, Grefal is very satisfied with Alka's team.
But in the midst of such a battlefield, Grefal felt that if Arka and the others got together, the effect would be limited.
"If they don't mind, of course."
Arka himself knew that in such a battlefield, such as Matlisha, it was naturally very unsuitable to fight with them on the front line.
Staying in the medical front at this time would definitely be able to play the greatest role.
Also of the same type are Simon and Juan Lu.
They are all technicians, just like Matlisha, and it is a waste of their talents to fight on the front line with Arka and them.
"You'd better stay at the fortress, though." Grefal said, looking at Arka .
In such a place, Arka is definitely the first to be targeted.
To put it simply, for the Devouring Mouth, taking Arka's head and capturing his soul is the most important thing.
Only by taking out Arka can he wash away his shame.
Hearing this, Arka just shrugged his shoulders helplessly and acquiesced.
"Okay, that's it for now, there's a meeting in the afternoon. There will be some arrangements for your team, and I hope you can all come and participate. ”
Arka nodded, without any objections.
Looking at the back of Arka as he prepared to leave, Grefal suddenly said, "You must have something to ask me, but I don't have much time in the middle of the battle now, but if you have any questions after this battle, if I know." ”
Hearing this, Arka gave him a strange look, then smiled and nodded, bowed, and left the room.
All the way through the fortress to the place where they rested.
When they came back, Xia Daiti and they basically woke up one after another.
Seeing that Martrisa and Bororo were about to go out again, they should have gone to the infirmary to help again.
Arka said: "In a battlefield like this, we may be separated later, do you mind if we have our own tasks? ”
Hearing Alka's words, several people shook their heads.
Of course there's nothing to mind.
"That's good."
"Will I lead the soldiers? Like becoming a centurion or something? It's not bad to give me a military rank. Jason said from the side.
It's great to have a rank to lead a soldier or something.
What boy doesn't have a dream of being a general?
Hearing this, Arka glanced at him: "I will apply like Grefal." ”
"Is it so good, Alka?"
"No, apply for you to become an ordinary soldier and take orders from others."
"Hehe, it's more than enough to become a centurion with my combat power."
Lucilia, who was sitting at the table not far away, heard the two people arguing and raised her head to look at it, and suddenly said: "Volunteer fighters like us should only be able to obtain honorary titles, but in wartime, they should be able to gain some real power, and maybe they can really lead some soldiers." ”
"Haha, look at it."
