Chapter 144 Two Hind Hands
The only pity is that there is not a sage-level demon master among these people, and obviously demons of this level are also trump cards among aces, and they will not easily appear on the first line of the battlefield.
This also made the assassination team specially prepared for them by Emperor Shi Tian useless.
However, even the current situation was enough to make the four high-level demon lords on the opposite side feel sad.
Within a few hours of the start of the war, dozens of legendary masters were lost, and a dozen or twenty were injured.
Legendary-level masters are rarely injured, but once they are injured, they are not minor injuries, and they often take one or two years or even more than ten years to recover.
This means that these injured legendary demons have also withdrawn from this battle.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of gold-level demons that have been killed, and these are all intermediate powers.
Especially those demon warlocks, as well as succubi, fire demons, etc., are all the core forces of the four high-level demon lords.
They would rather lose 10 of their other golden classes than one of their core classes.
However, under the precise assassination of Emperor Shitian, their core troops suffered heavy losses, but the losses of other troops were average.
The reason why this situation occurred was because Emperor Shi Tian learned in advance that their core troops were succubi and demon warlocks, etc., so he ordered the troops to focus on attacking.
As for the other ordinary high-level troops, Emperor Shi Tian really didn't pay attention to it, even if it was close to the city wall? The alchemy weapons on the city head were not vegetarian!
And the situation was just as Emperor Shi Tian had predicted.
After paying a heavy price, the demon army approached the city walls.
However, approaching the city wall does not mean touching the city wall, the blockade of the three super giant cannons, the blockade of the mine array, and the blockade of various calibers of artillery on the city wall are basically covered shooting.
It means that there is no way to accurately lock on a certain target.
When dealing with crowd tactics, this covering shot can maximize the damage dealt.
But when the number of enemies shrinks and rushes up in individual soldiers, these weapons are not very good. You can't use a cannon to fight mosquitoes, right?
However, Emperor Shi Tian had also been prepared for these fish that slipped through the net, that is, alchemy muskets of various calibers.
The 30mm assault rifle used by the Minotaur Lancers can perform accurate kills on large demons that are not strong in defense and are slow.
There is also the terrifying 20mm 6-barreled Gatling, a barrage of dozens or hundreds of bullets formed by a slight pull of the trigger, specifically bombarding those fast and small demons, basically not giving them a chance to escape.
With these two terrifying ranged precision kill weapons, most of the fish that slipped through the net could be stopped, leaving them without even a chance to get close to the walls.
And in addition to them, Emperor Shi Tian also prepared two back hands.
One of the back hands is the mage, all of whom are above the rank of silver.
Not only do they have good equipment, but they also learn all kinds of spells, and meeting demons who can avoid alchemy firearms is their chance to show their skills.
Don't think that alchemy guns are invincible, there are some special demons that can use the ethereal spell to turn the entire body into something like green smoke, which is completely immune to physical damage.
However, the damage to spells in this state will be exponentially accelerated, so if the mage hits them, it will be particularly painful.
On the other hand were the various flying modules floating behind them.
These flying modules did not dare to fly on the battlefield for fear of the opponent's forbidden sky magic.
But if they were behind the walls, they would have survived.
And behind the walls, they can also provide strong support.
For example, some alchemy flight modules are equipped with a variety of new alchemy energy weapons, which can fire a variety of spells and directly support the battle of the city wall.
As long as the demons dare to climb the walls, it will be their chance to show their skills.
There are also alchemy flight modules with bean-scattering circles installed on them, and they are equipped with exclusive monks.
If the demons attack the city walls in large numbers, they will summon a large number of Yellow Turban wrestlers and make them jump from the top of the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat with those demons.
Because although this wall looks magnificent, it was actually built in a hurry, and its defense is very weak, only equivalent to a bronze rank.
This means that all demons above the bronze level can cause damage to the city walls.
Although it won't break the wall in a few clicks, if you keep destroying it, it is still easy to destroy the runes and make the city wall vulnerable.
Especially after being dug out of a hole by the other party, they can get into it to avoid the attack of the city head, and then rest assured that they can boldly destroy the city wall.
Even if the city wall is a few hundred meters thick, it can't withstand so many demons at all, I'm afraid it won't take two or three days to be hollowed out by them, and then it will collapse completely.
In this case, there is no point in defending the head of the city blindly, and a large number of troops must be there to protect the base of the wall.
And these troops will inevitably face a massive demonic assault, even if they are supported by long-range strikes from the city, their damage will definitely be very heavy.
That's why Emperor Shi Tian chose to summon Yellow Turban Warriors, anyway, these things belong to summoned creatures, and they don't feel distressed when they die.
In addition, there are some special flight modules that also play an extremely important role in defending the city.
One is the teleportation module, which is a huge teleportation array, which can mobilize materials and personnel in the rear anytime and anywhere.
And when the city wall is lost, they can also quickly withdraw the materials and personnel on the city.
It can be said that these teleportation modules are the lifeblood of the entire city.
In addition, there are the Aegis module and the life module.
The Aegis module has a variety of attributes, all of which are specifically designed to unleash large defensive magic shields.
This thing doesn't usually activate because it consumes too much mana.
However, once they encounter a large-scale spell attack above the gold level, they will immediately rise to the top and protect the weapons and personnel at the head of the city with protective spells.
It can be said that with these defensive modules, the entire city wall can be called impregnable.
Even if it is a large-scale legendary-level spell, under the joint protection of a large number of defense modules, don't want to destroy the city wall easily, at most it is just to break some defense modules.
As for the life module, it is actually equivalent to the existence of a field hospital, with a full-time life mage, or light priest, on which can easily heal soldiers who have been seriously injured or cursed.
In addition, these life modules also come with a variety of aura attributes, some increase attack, some increase defense, some increase morale, and other positive attributes.
Although there is only one type of module on each module, if the number of modules is large, it can add a lot of attributes and strength to the warriors in the city.
With these two backhands arranged by Emperor Shi Tian in advance, this layer of defense dare not be said to be impregnable, and it is definitely not too much worse.
And at this time, the Demon Legion, after suffering countless losses in a row, finally began to show its murderous side.
First of all, the hidden demon sorcerers, who were not killed after all, or some of them approached the walls, and then they came up with their tricks, summoning hellfire.
With a burst of evil chanting, high in the sky above their heads, there were void ripples, and then a huge green fireball flew out of it, and then smashed diagonally towards the city wall in front of them, as if a meteor appeared out of thin air.
Hellfire is usually thirty or fifty meters tall and weighs more than 100 tons, and this thing is smashed down from the sky, and its lethality is definitely a spell at the pinnacle of gold.
If it falls on the city wall, not only will a lot of people on it die, but the weapons and equipment will definitely be smashed, and even the city wall will be punched out of a gap.
However, in the face of the menacing attack, dozens of meters behind the Minotaur and the others who were shooting wildly, the mage, who had been sitting on a chair and enjoying milk tea leisurely, finally stood up solemnly.
Then this guy cast a spell that he had prepared for a long time, pointing directly into the air, and chanting at the same time: "Expulsion Technique!"
The next moment, a light green light shot straight out of his fingers, precisely on the hellfire that fell from the sky.
Then the hellfire disappeared without a sound.
The expulsion technique itself is not very high, and it usually has no lethality or defense, but this thing is an absolute nemesis for any summoned creature.
Because this spell can send creatures that are not in the realm back to their original world, which is called 'expulsion'.
And although the hellfire is powerful, it is not a species in this realm after all, so after eating an expulsion technique, it can only reluctantly return to the original world, endlessly distorting the void.
Seeing this scene, the demon warlock below was half angry at that time.
Summoning Hellfire, but it was a very powerful ninth-order spell, and it took him a lot of effort to cast it, but it was easily broken by someone else's expulsion technique, which was really a bit embarrassing.
And what made him feel most depressed was that this kind of spell was not popular, and it was rarely used, and ordinary mages were too lazy to learn it, even if they barely learned it, they would not study it further.
However, spells that are barely learned usually take a few seconds to cast before they can be released.
And in the face of the hellfire that has already fallen from the sky, it is obvious that it has not been prepared for such a long time.
But the other party obviously broke the convention, and released this spell in less than a second, which was obviously carefully studied.
As a spell that may not be used once in a lifetime, it is really unreasonable that someone should study it carefully.
Anyway, the demon warlock was very depressed, and thought that he was unlucky, and he had met an unexpected pervert.
