Chapter 996: Retreat to the stronghold
The reversal of the defensive front bought a lot of time for the retreat of the large army of Terran monks, and the unprepared counterattack of the Demon Legion made them a little jealous of the Terran monks, although the final loss of personnel was only about 10% of the entire legion, but if the Terran monks came back a few times like a similar counterattack, even if the legion had more than 100,000 people, I am afraid it would be difficult to be shocked by such consumption.
However, the Demon Legion did not mean to give up the pursuit, and after a slight adjustment, it once again headed in the direction of the escape of the Terran monk army.
In the next pursuit, the Demon Venerable Legion was more cautious and cautious, no longer daring to charge the Terran monk army, but adopted a step-by-step strategy, and the advance team did not chase after it any longer, but the Terran army only followed in the back room, only occasionally launching some tentative attacks.
The Demon Legion's cautiousness was to provide a better opportunity for the evacuation of the large army of human monks, and along the way, they did not arrange any ambushes and defensive fronts, but withdrew in the direction of the stronghold as quickly as possible.
Two days later, a large army of Terran monks under the command of the Rakshasa Palace arrived at their previous stronghold.
The large army of Terran monks quickly withdrew into the stronghold, and then immediately opened the defensive formations throughout the stronghold, and there were many traps and prohibitions to prevent the demon legion from breaking through.
Seeing that most of the Terran monks had retreated into the stronghold, the demon legion did not rashly attack the stronghold, but quickly surrounded the entire stronghold, and then sent a team composed of thousands of middle- and low-level demon monks to launch a tentative attack on the stronghold.
In the face of the attack of thousands of middle and low-level demon monks, the stronghold of the Terran monks was not polite, and immediately activated the prohibition of the defensive circle to attack the demon monks.
The several defensive arrays in the stronghold were large arrays carefully arranged by the formation masters, and the forbidden attacks they stimulated were still ferocious, even the Demon Monks of the Holy Yuan Period were afraid that it would be difficult to break through the heavy defensive prohibitions unscathed, and there was naturally no big problem in dealing with the thousands of middle and low-level Demon Monks.
Although the charge of the thousands of demon monks seemed to be full of momentum, when a round of forbidden bombardment was completed, the originally powerful charging momentum was immediately greatly reduced, and at the same time, more than a hundred demon monks fell into the forbidden attack like a storm almost instantly.
The forbidden attacks of the circle bombarded those demon monks one after another.
One after another demon monks fell one after another in the fierce attack of the magic circle, and in less than half a moment, more than half of the thousands of middle and low-level demon monks were killed or wounded, but those demon monks still had no intention of retreating even in the face of such large casualties, only to see their eyes glowing blood-red, and they charged towards the human stronghold with a back.
In addition to the forbidden attacks of the defensive array, the charging demon monks also triggered a lot of traps, which were carefully arranged by the Terran monks, both for individual single traps and for a range of traps that affected an area, and the power was also different, which could threaten both middle and low-level demon monks and high-level demon monks, of course, there were relatively few traps and prohibitions that could really threaten high-level demon cultivators.
In the end, only a few hundred of the thousands of demon monks broke through the outer area of the stronghold and reached the vicinity of the high walls of the stronghold, while the rest of the monks were lost in the forbidden attacks and traps of the defensive circle.
Although the hundreds of demon monks who charged to the high wall of the stronghold successfully broke through the forbidden and trap area of the defensive array, they were still greeted with death, only to see that many Terran monks on the high wall were already ready, and then under the order of the monk in charge of command, they all activated the power of vitality in their bodies and launched an attack on the hundreds of middle and low-level demon monks.
Thousands of Terran monks' attacks swarmed out almost simultaneously, roaring towards those Demon Monks like a raging storm.
"Bang, bang......"
The stormy attack almost enveloped the hundreds of mid- and low-level demon cultivators, and there was a roar of operation, accompanied by a scream.
In just a few breaths, most of the hundreds of middle- and low-level demon monks under the high wall of the charge had fallen, and many of the remaining demon monks who were still standing had also been injured.
The Terran monk's attack was not in the slightest, and after one round of attacks, a second round followed.
In the end, the Terran monks on the high wall launched three rounds of attacks one after another, and the hundreds of middle- and low-level demon monks all fell down in the three rounds of stormy bombardment.
In this way, the thousands of demon monks who charged against the Terran monks' stronghold were all defeated.
Several high-level demon cultivators at the high level of the Demon Legion saw that the thousands of Demon Cultivators of the Terran Race Cultivators were defeated in just a short time, and their expressions did not show any surprise, they looked quite calm, in fact, they did not expect that the thousands of middle and low-level Demon Monks could pose any threat to the Terran Monks' stronghold,
The high-level of the Demon Legion sent thousands of middle and low-level demon monks is actually just to test the defensive ability of the Terran monks' strongholds, if they are not strong, they can command the Demon Legion to directly charge the Terran monks' strongholds, but after the thousands of middle and low-level demon monks have been tempted, they can already determine that the defense of the Terran monks' strongholds in front of them is quite strong, with the current strength of the Demon Legion, although there is no problem in breaking through the defensive prohibitions and traps, but in the process, it is very likely that the Demon Legion will pay a great price, and in the process of this pursuit, he knows that there are still many high-level monks in the Terran Monks, If those high-level Terran cultivators set up an ambush at the reading point, I am afraid that all the high-level demon cultivators may also suffer a lot of losses at that time, so when they did not find out the specific situation of the stronghold, they did not dare to rashly launch an all-out charge against the Terran stronghold.
After some temptation, the demon legion didn't seem to take any action, but the whole human monk's stronghold was tightly surrounded, and then it was standing still, as if it was monitoring the stronghold of all the human monks.
The high-level Terran monks saw that the Demon Legion was besieged but not attacked, almost all of them were mixed, and the joy was naturally that they did not need to worry about the pursuit of the Demon Clan, and they could take a good rest; the worry was that although the Demon Legion did not attack the stronghold with all its might, the other party was still very strong, if the special tactics of the stronghold were guarded, they were afraid that even if they gathered all their strength, it would be difficult to defeat the Demon Legion, and the Demon Legion was now very likely to wait for reinforcements to arrive, once the Demon Legion was strong to a certain extent, the defensive facilities such as the defensive array and traps in the stronghold could not withstand the strong footsteps of the Demon Legion。 (To be continued.) )
