"Their low-level soldiers seem to be surrounded by a layer of fog and cannot see the reality clearly, so they are very united. But the high-level figures in Hubu City are constantly scheming, hoping to overthrow each other. So, our The chances of winning are not small, as long as you can make good use of this." An enchanting succubus whispered to the demon commander, his voice full of temptation. She has a good figure, excellent intelligence, and can read people's thoughts and charm them.
"The 'Drip' plan has almost been successful, as evidenced by what the Atak people call the 'Lodan Gap'." The commander muttered to himself, "As long as Tiger Step City can be captured, the expeditionary force can get enough supplies to survive the winter. . Later, when the second wave of armies arrives, it will be our turn to ravage the Atak Empire wantonly. Are the high-ranking nobles of Tiger Step City competing with each other? Then let us see if they will use the entire army for their own benefit. Let the whole city of Hubu fall into the flames of war."
"I will continue to look at them." The succubus's eyes flashed red, "Through the masks on their faces and the defenses in their hearts."
"Attack, don't hold back, attack fiercely." The commander snapped and stood up, the demon army had no strength to waste any more. Once the main force of the "Dignity" Legion arrives, the "Zeal" Legion will attack from the right wing, and the "Wind Knights" can continue to torment the demon clan's supplies The tens of thousands of Lan Roger's expeditionary force should be completely annihilated. Foreign country.
"Understood." The succubus flapped its wings and left.
The second wave of attacks from the demons arrived soon, and the Atak people also transported sufficient defensive supplies to the city wall. Including rolling logs, stones, and crossbow bolts to strike the dragon crossbow, several extremely tired troops were also withdrawn and replaced by energetic new troops. The fierce city defense battle started again, and the melodious sound of Atak's horn spread throughout the city wall.
"We must believe that the great God of War Atak will protect us!" A priest walked alone on the city wall holding his staff high to encourage the morale of the soldiers. "The God of War will not abandon us. If we can show our heroic spirit, With courage, he will also give us heroic strength. The God of War is watching us in the temple! Atak!"
"Atak!" Thunderous shouts erupted from the city walls.
"The gods protect us, the God of Thunder makes the battle fair, the God of Light allows us to restore life, the God of Wind makes us run fast, and the God of Earth makes the ground under our feet extra solid. Finally, we chant the name of the God of War! Atak! Atta K!" the priest roared impassionedly, his eyes full of enthusiasm for his belief in the God of War.
"Atak! Atak!" Who can refuse such a glorious war cry? The warriors roared and roared, expressing their courage. The archers held their long bows high, carrying arrows behind their backs, and the upward arrows were as powerful as their raised arms; the hoplites waved their heavy swords and battle axes in the direction of the demon army, as if they wanted to use all their strength. It was as if he had come to kill the Lancelot; the soldier who pulled the winch of the dragon crossbow felt much stronger, and the originally boring work now became a wonderful enjoyment.
The gargoyles were startled by the deafening shouts on the city wall. Five of them flew up from the ground. Several strange holes suddenly appeared in the dark phalanx of gargoyles. Five black beasts screamed and flew high into the sky, waiting for an opportunity. The Atak people immediately adjusted the direction of their dragon crossbows, and the ballistas and trebuchets used to defend the city also adjusted their shooting directions to prevent the gargoyles from suddenly attacking. Even though the gargoyle has hard skin, it still cannot survive the crossbow bolt of the dragon crossbow, let alone being hit by a boulder.
¡°Gah¡ªah¡ª¡± the gargoyle roared, spun around in the air a few times, and then rushed towards the city wall. At this time, everyone held their breath, waiting to fight back against the gargoyles. Only the priest was still shouting loudly, promoting the belief of the God of War. He also becomes the prime target of gargoyles, who are extremely sensitive to sound.
Countless crossbow bolts were launched as soon as the gargoyle entered the shooting range, shooting the front gargoyle into stone debris. The remaining four gargoyles successfully threw themselves on the city wall and grabbed the hapless evangelist with their powerful hind legs. The officer raised his sword, and blasts of red blood energy struck a gargoyle. Although its body was hard, it could not withstand the intensive attack of so much blood energy, and it was instantly shattered into pieces.
The remaining three gargoyles managed to escape. They grabbed the priest, ignored their dead companions, and flew high into the sky. The Atak people watched in despair as the priest was taken away, unable to do anything. A gargoyle hovered nearby, seeming to laugh at the Atak's weakness. As for the other two gargoyles, one grabbed the priest's shoulders and the other grabbed his legs. The two gargoyles flapped their wings and flew in two different directions in an instant - the priest's body became The two halves, entrails and intestines spilled out and were blown away by the wind high in the sky. I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but even though they were far away, the Atak people still heard the priest¡¯s unyielding cry:
"Long live Atak!"
Before they had time to mourn the tragic death of the priest, the Atak soldiers were about to face the attack of the demon army. Guarding the southern city wall are two regiments of Hubu City's City Guards with 2,400 men, and a brigade of the regular army's "Dignity" Corps with 4,000 men, for a total of 6,400 soldiers. In the fierce fighting just now, 2,000 people were killed, but the reinforcements included three regiments with a total of 3,600 people. Now there are 8,000 Atak soldiers on the city wall waiting to fight.
The Demon Legion prepared an entire division on the south wall, twelve thousand men, and thousands of demons. Generally speaking, Atak's army is weak here, but with the strength of Hubu City, it will be difficult for the demons to defeat it if they don't have five times the strength of the opponent.
In the siege tower, hundreds of demon infantry were ready to go. When the siege tower is pushed to the city wall by the burdened demons, they will open the door of the siege tower and rush up the city wall to fight hand-to-hand with Atak's army. About six large siege towers are slowly moving towards the city wall. They have all been blessed by arcane magic. As long as magic and arrows exceed a certain distance, they will cause minimal damage. But when it gets close to the city wall, it will return to its original texture. If we don't hurry up, once the siege tower is destroyed, the people inside will definitely not survive and will turn into miserable flesh under the city wall.
More soldiers were holding simple wooden ladders or assembled steel ladders, intending to climb up the city wall through them. The demon soldiers came one after another, but they were unable to break through the Atak people's defense line. The ladder could only pass one person at a time. As soon as he jumped to the top of the city, he was killed before he could gain a foothold. All Burt had to do was lift a stone and throw it down, and a whole line of people on the ladder were knocked down.
A siege vehicle is also a must-have. It slams into the steel city gate. The special metal from the demon world allows it to destroy steel. On the gate tower, the soldiers threw down barrels of boiling oil and a torch, which was enough to burn all the demon soldiers pushing the siege engines. The people pushing the carts changed one after another, but the city gate still stood firm. One demon lord tried to break through the city gate with his body. Although it succeeded in leaving a crack in the city gate, at close range, Atak's magicians used their most powerful magic to fire at it. This demon lord had to go back to recuperate in despair, give up the right to participate in this battle, and leave the great and noble task of "sacrifice" to ordinary demon soldiers.
Leer couldn¡¯t speak. He had just summoned a tree spirit, which barely resisted the demon¡¯s attack. However, a large amount of arcane magic soon shattered the tall tree. The comrades around him fell one after another, and the battle entered the most intense part. The city walls were stained with blood, and Leer also had several scars on his body.
A siege tower successfully connected to the city wall here, and countless demon soldiers ran in. More demons took the opportunity to set up ladders and climbed up continuously. The hellhound quickly mixed in with the soldiers and bit the Atak soldiers who were caught off guard to death. The gargoyle also emerged from the clouds unpredictably, snatched a soldier at lightning speed, and threw him from a high altitude. Various demons relied on their strong bodies to rush from one end of the city wall to the other, crushing the Atak people's finally reorganized formation. For a moment, Lear felt that this battle was bound to be lost, and he could already hear the call of death.
He walked in the pool of blood to avoid tripping over the corpses. The smell of blood kept getting into his nose. Li'er gathered some consciousness, tried hard to trip up a demon soldier, and threw him off the city wall. At this time, how much he hoped that the fighting would stop temporarily and give him some breathing time. But this can only be hope, the battle is not over yet. Exhaustion takes over the druid's body.
Another Germanic man fell in front of him, his heart was completely grabbed out by the transparent monster from behind, and was crushed and eaten. The noise of the fighting filled Leer's ears. He roared, picked up the deceased's battle ax, chopped down a demon archer with one blow, and kicked the enemy's body down with all his strength. The battlefield is crazy.
"Hold on! Atak!" An officer's loud shout made many people who had fallen into madness wake up.
Leer is among them. He transforms into a werewolf and uses his swiftness to defeat various demons among his enemies who are as fast as himself. Two blood demons and some demons climbed up the city wall. They were all a very powerful part of the demons. Lear took advantage of these demons' unsteady footing and knocked one of them down with his own body, sending it back to the ground.
Bert¡¯s bloody giant sword killed several more enemies, but he himself was out of breath. The dragon crossbow had been completely shattered, and its original appearance could not be seen. The arrow tower was also destroyed by arcane magic, and not even the bones of the archer on it were left. Jessdown's magic power was almost exhausted, so he drew his dueling sword and fought the little devil to the death.
A demon saw his companion fall to the ground and turned into a corpse, and angrily slapped Leer with his claws. Lear's huge body flew straight out and fell to the ground His current field of vision was exactly facing the stairs, and two men in black robes were running down.
