The knight in the abyss

Chapter 411
The scorching fireball hit the thick wall of thorns, and immediately exploded into countless jumping fire snakes, igniting all the combustibles around, including those thorny plants, and hanging on it, struggling, not yet Completely dead cannon fodder.The burning wall of thorns became a devil's barbecue, and a disgusting burnt smell wafted into the noses of the defenders along the wind.

If there is no accident, the ignited vines will burn out within 1 minute, but Lancelow guessed that the casters who made these vines must have a countermeasure.

Sure enough, he immediately sensed a large-scale magical fluctuation.This time, the light blue magical aura is lit up, corresponding to the transformation spell.I saw that the original emerald green vines quickly turned gray, and their weight seemed to have changed, and they no longer continued to roll under the impact of the devil's cannon fodder.

With just a few breaths of effort, these vines seemed to turn into stones.Its surface was still burning, but it was actually the lower-level demons still hanging on (and bumping into) it.The screams of these poor cannon fodder almost make people insane. The strong vitality and resistance to fire of the demons are a curse at this time, making their deaths painful and long.

This magic is the answer of the old elf Quirion.He had long expected that the demons would set fire, so after finishing summoning the wall of thorns, he immediately began to prepare for the spell of turning wood into stone.Petrification doesn't happen instantaneously, but since it's an outside-in process, burning stops as soon as the plant's surface turns to stone.

Also, since he only needs to turn the ignited section of vine into stone, the preparation time for the spell is much shorter.Of course he could have summoned a stone wall from the start, but that wouldn't have the effect of delaying the enemy.

This was all arranged after he came, and the spells were all prepared on the spot.The time required to memorize a spell depends on the complexity of the spell. Generally speaking, each level requires at least 1 minute of preparation time on average. The previous wall of thorns spell is a 6-level spell, and the latter is a 5-level spell. Spells, it took a little time to prepare these two spells, but fortunately they caught up.

But that's their limit.The ritual of joint spellcasting requires each caster to prepare the same spell, and Pascole's defenders hadn't prepared for joint spellcasting before, so they could only memorize spells temporarily. It turns out that the two middle-level spells are already time The allowed limit is reached. If it is delayed for a little longer, the city wall may collapse.

After turning into stone, the sharp thorns on the thorns are still sharp, but they no longer have the toughness they had when they were still plants.The demons soon discovered that the stone thorns could be broken easily, and then they could climb up by grabbing the broken thorn roots.

The petrified thorn is a cylinder with a radius of about five feet. Although it is not high, the surface is not smooth, so it is not so easy to climb over.And in the process, they have to be careful of the archers on the tower, the companions who keep pushing and shoving behind them, and the burning corpses.

As if their troubles were not enough, the yellow light of the conjuration system lit up again, a large amount of oil fell from the sky, splashed on the thorns, and was immediately ignited by the remaining sparks.

Unlike vines rich in water, oil is much more flammable. Wherever it is splashed, it is immediately enveloped in flames that soar into the sky, and the low-level demons who are climbing over the petrified thorn wall are screaming at being burned.Demons are indeed resistant to fire, but most of them are not completely immune to this damage like devils, let alone ignore the pain caused by burning.

Unlike the situation of being nailed to the spikes and unable to break free, these low-level demons who were burned had long forgotten the horror of the supervising team, and they frantically jumped back from the burning wall of thorns. More chaos was created in the already overcrowded hordes of lower-level demons.

Demons are not a considerate race. Instead of helping to extinguish the flames on their own kind, demons use their claws to drive away those firemen who are approaching them.On such a dense occasion, it is inevitable that others will be accidentally injured, which in turn leads to more fights.

Chaos quickly spread among the crowded demonic cannon fodder. It was the first time for Lancelot to experience such a war-level battle involving demons. In his unbelievable eyes, the demon army just collapsed. It seems that the fate of this fortress is about to end, but at this moment they are frantically killing each other on the spot.

Having been in the abyss for such a long time, it is not that he is ignorant of the habits of this demon - violent, cruel, murderous and extremely insidious and cunning (maybe the succubus is the only exception), but the entire demon army on the battlefield because of Infighting and disintegration still opened his eyes.

Grease is only a 1st level spell, almost all mages will prepare this spell due to its practicality.The use of Grease was entirely a temporary idea of ​​the old elves. Unlike the regular dwarves, the elves were always very creative when fighting.But after using this spell, Quirion had no other moves. He waved his hand, and the elves and sages who were around him immediately led their apprentices away. They were going to a place closer to the city wall to fight The defenders in the area provide direct support.

Meanwhile, the battle on the walls continued, and the 200 men brought back by Lancelot played a decisive role.They bravely went directly to the most anxious place of the battle, blocking the most vicious enemy, and the recognition of each hero in the story will greatly boost the morale of the defenders.

Unlike those "Returning Heroes" who are extraordinarily high-profile and show off, Lancelot plays very low-key. His giant sword does not emit light, and he does not shout out the names of moves when he cuts people, but unconsciously , There was a large space around him.The reason is very simple, the human knight's efficiency in killing the enemy is too high, staying by his side will not have a sense of "participation" in the battle.

But what the attacking demons saw was a defensive and empty city wall, and only a blood-soaked knight was still resisting. When they jumped to the top of the city and found that the ground was full of broken corpses of their own people, they realized that there seemed to be something wrong. wrong.

In the distance, the atmosphere in the demon army's main formation gradually became weird.Cang Ye still quietly floated among the demons, the plain cloth covered its face and also hid its emotions, but an invisible pressure made the surrounding followers almost breathless.

The one with the ugliest expression was a shriveled and swarthy demon who looked like a charred midget.It is wearing a set of gorgeous armor inlaid with gems, and there are three sickle-like red fingers on the palm, as if soaked in blood for a long time.

This is Snell, the commander of the Howling Soul Legion, the titular commander of the low-level demons who are killing each other on the battlefield.
