Seeing that the Dark Demon Army was constantly rushing up, the corpses under the city were already piled up like a hill, and some agile members of the Dark Demon Society could even jump up with the corpses and directly grab the wall at the head of the city. Fortunately, some members of the Knights reacted in a timely manner, quickly adjusting the muzzle of their guns to the enemy's head and firing a shot, and in an instant, the head split into dozens of petals like a burst watermelon.

However, this did not change the overall situation, although the Dark Devils had killed many people, more and more people had jumped onto the city and began to engage in melee combat with the Knights. In the previous battle, the Knights relied on the great power of the magic musket to keep the enemy under the city, but once the two sides were caught in a melee, the Knights had no advantage.

The people of the Dark Devils have been corrupted by black magic, and they don't know fatigue or fear injury, and even if they are bare-handed, they dare to fight directly with heavily armed people. Although the people of the Knights are all good at fighting with rich combat experience, they are still very passive when they encounter this kind of person who is not afraid of death.

A member of the Dark Devil Army was surrounded by several soldiers, and everyone drew their swords and slashed, directly cutting off the opponent's arms to the ground, but this person still frantically pounced on the soldiers, biting everywhere with his mouth open. Even though the soldiers were all strong people, they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat when they saw such a crazy person, and finally relied on the large number of people to cut this person into several pieces.

Melee combat is extremely physically exhausting, not to mention these people who have been traveling for several days in a row, and soon the knights began to suffer casualties, which made the knight leader Sherman extremely annoyed. It has only been a long time since the battle, and there are already signs of being difficult to resist, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it for even half a day.

Sherman said angrily: "Don't be idle, everyone else, let's all go together!" After speaking, Sherman took the lead in drawing his saber, and led everyone to rush to the city with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. The various ignitions piled up at the top of the city became the biggest obstacle to the battle, and it was then that Sherman realized that he had made a mistake, and that putting these flammable materials on the top of the city would only cause chaos for himself.

But now it was too late to regret it, and Sherman led the people in battle against the influx of Dark Devils in the narrow city, and almost every place was crowded with people and messes, and the battle became extremely fierce.

The Knights did their best to drive the Dark Devils off the walls, but the Dark Magicians were a bunch of madmen who didn't want to die, and unless they were incapacitated at once, ordinary damage wouldn't stop them. In a short period of time, many members of the Knights were injured or killed in battle, and Sherman only felt that everything was burned in his eyes, and his brother died one less than one, and the other party still had tens of thousands of people behind.

Just when the two sides were completely glued together, I don't know who fired a shot in the chaos, just hit a barrel of oil, and heard a loud sound of "boom!", the whole barrel of oil exploded suddenly, and the flames splashed everywhere with the oil, igniting other flammable materials in an instant, and the entire city soon became a sea of fire.

Sherman was directly lifted off the city by the air wave of the explosion just now, but fortunately there was a pile of firewood and grass underneath, which did not seriously injure him. When I looked up, I saw a raging fire above, reflecting the entire fortress in red. The crackling sound continued, and the fire on the city continued to expand, and the smell of scorching fire filled the air.

Two or three hundred members of the Knights and more than a hundred Dark Devils in the city were all killed in the flames in the blink of an eye, and many others were burned by the flames. Faced with this tragic scene, Sherman only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, he struggled to crawl out of the firewood and grass, and just a few steps away, he saw that the firewood and grass pile behind him had already ignited.

Several soldiers hurriedly rushed up to support Sherman, and asked incessantly, "My lord, are you okay?"

The stubborn Sherman pushed the people around him away and said sharply, "I'm fine!

At this time, Sherman noticed that everyone was looking up at the city, and he looked back, only to see a raging fire like a wall of fire between us and foe. Everyone was shocked by the fire and didn't know what to do, but Sherman noticed a phenomenon, those Dark Devils seemed to be very afraid of the fire, and the Dark Devils, who were not even afraid of death and injury just now, were so frightened by the fire that they jumped under the city wall at this time.

"Could it be that the Dark Devils are also afraid of fire?" Sherman said to himself.

As long as the enemy also has weaknesses, then they still have a way to think about it, otherwise this battle is really hopeless. Sherman's mind moved, and he immediately ordered, "Someone, bring my mount here!"

As soon as the soldiers heard this, their faces suddenly showed complicated expressions, and many of them were thinking in their hearts, "If you find a mount at this time, will the adults want to escape?" Sherman didn't bother to explain to everyone, and when his Thor bird was brought in, he climbed on the back of the bird without saying a word, and then asked someone to hand him a torch.

Everyone didn't understand what he wanted to do, and they all stared at Sherman's strange behavior with wide eyes, and no one dared to speak for a long time. Sherman soared into the air with the Thor Bird, and in the blink of an eye, he flew out of the fortress. Beyond the burning walls, Sherman looked down and saw the Dark Devils gathered at the foot of the hillside outside the city, seemingly terrified of the fire.

Sherman made a swoop towards the densest crowd and threw the torch over the Dark Lord's head. As soon as the torches fell into the crowd, the dark demon army screamed as if they had encountered a plague, and they scurried around. When Sherman saw this scene, his eyes lit up, his guess was indeed correct, although these people in the Dark Devils were not afraid of swords and guns, they were very afraid of fire.

Since the Dark Devils are afraid of fire, there is a way to deal with them, although they can't win, but at least they can delay for a while. Sherman pondered in his heart as he flew back to the fortress with the Thor Bird.

As soon as he landed, Sherman immediately ordered his subordinates to get more barrels of fire oil, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and soon moved seven or eight barrels. Then Sherman had the oil drums carried to the bird's back, and when they were ready, he said to one of the squad leaders, "Bring your men and follow me!"

He flew out of the fortress again with a squad and a bucket of oil, and when he was in the sky above the Dark Devils, he gestured to the rest of the team, first pointing to the barrel of oil beside him, and then pointing downward, signaling the team members to shoot at the falling oil barrel. Everyone quickly understood what he meant, it turned out that Sherman was planning to send a fire from the sky!

Seeing that everyone had understood their minds, Sherman nodded, and pulled the rope that tied the oil drum, and a wooden barrel full of fire oil suddenly fell towards the Dark Lord. The members of the squad were ready to shoot, and when they saw the oil barrels falling, they opened fire one after another.

It is not easy to shoot moving objects, especially fast-falling objects, and several people have failed to hit several shots in a row. Seeing that the oil drum was about to smash on the head of the Dark Devil, a bullet hit the oil drum just right. "Boom!" exploded, and a dazzling flame suddenly expanded through the black-pressed crowd, engulfing hundreds of people in an instant......

The black devil army who was burned by the flames let out a sharp scream, as if they were extremely afraid of the flames, wherever there was flames, no black devil army dared to stay there within a few meters around, and a large open space immediately appeared in the black oppressive crowd.

Seeing that his attempt had achieved amazing results, Sherman's heart rekindled his belief in persevering, and he waved his hand to signal the team to go back first. When the group returned to the fortress, Sherman said to the group: "The Dark Devils are very afraid of flames, this is the key to our fortification, now listen to my orders, we will send these guys a fire from the sky, let them also taste our strength!"

The people of the Knights must have found a way to deal with the Dark Devils, and they immediately lifted their spirits, and one by one raised their fists and shouted, "Let them taste it!"
