Blood Dragon

Chapter 280 Trick

The tug-of-war at the top of the city continues.The battle became more and more cruel. Both sides saw and persisted repeatedly. Every step forward or backward, the heels would be soaked in blood.

At this moment, the defenders on the front line were a little bit overwhelmed.The defenders of the city have realized that the giant sword soldiers have been fighting for too long and are exhausted and must be replaced.

Adel saw that a troop had assembled a little farther away.That was not an elite giant sword warrior, but a relatively ordinary soldier with a halberd.At the forefront of these soldiers was a gray-haired sergeant with a huge scar on his face and a firm hand gripping his weapon.

Adel recognized that it was his father, a determined veteran, an officer in the city's garrison.His troops are all composed of veterans who have experienced many battles. Although they are not selected fighters like giant sword fighters, they are a trustworthy army.The lord has always used them as his last reserve team.

Now that the old man has appeared here, it means that this is the last defense force of Gaohua City.Now, the Chaos Legion has launched a full-scale attack. Although this siege tower is the core and focus of the battle, the battle in other places is also very fierce.Even the lord has no other troops to send.

"Remember! Brothers!" Although it was far away, Adel could hear his father's voice. "We fight for our families, for our friends! Don't let the enemy go one step further!"

With a flawless tactical move, the veterans replaced the retreating greatsword warriors, roaring and charging into the blood and smoke.Faced with this sudden counterattack, the Chaos Warriors had to back off.The experienced veterans not only did not leave a gap for the enemy to attack, but caught the Chaos Legion by surprise.The Chaos Warriors fell into brief chaos, and the veterans took advantage of this opportunity to stab their halberds into the enemy's body, adding dozens of corpses to the top of the city.

Adel sees his father fighting a Chaos Warrior who appears to be an officer.He dodged the opponent's tomahawk, and then used the hook halberd to cut into the gap in the enemy's rib armor.With just one rotation, the Chaos Warrior who was still fierce and abnormal just now can only howl.Taking advantage of the opponent's loss of balance due to pain, the halberd plunged into his unarmored throat, quickly ending his life.

But the low and mournful horns still echo.Behind the retreating Chaos Warriors, the crumbling siege tower looked like a giant mouth of a monster. Another wave of enemy troops rushed out of this mouth, like deadly flames sprayed from the mouth of a giant dragon. Come out the same.Yet the wave is deadlier than the fire.Adel recognized these as the berserkers of Khorne, the elite of the Chaos legions, extremely dangerous and bloodthirsty warriors.At this point these Chaos Warriors have fallen into a bloodthirsty frenzy, and when they are in this state, they care nothing about casualties, fighting until the last man falls.

Adel's heart sank, he knew that his father's situation was very dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, the situation of the battle was reversed again.The veterans lined up neatly, trying to use the halberd array to resist the enemy's charge, while the berserkers, with devilish laughter on their faces, bumped into the enemy's array from the front.Those impaled berserkers grabbed the halberd that pierced their bodies with one hand, and swung their weapons with the other to split the opponent's head.

In just a very short moment, all the soldiers in the first row on both sides were killed or injured.Khorne's berserkers pressed tightly against the ranks of veterans, forcing them to retreat.

"No! No! Don't!" Adel suddenly hated his incompetence.Then with the perception of magic, he suddenly realized that a powerful magic was condensing in the air.

That's not the magic of the defenders in the city-because in the previous battles, the defenders had done their best, and almost all the magicians had exhausted their energy.Even though Adel needs to lean on a cane to stand still, but he can believe that he is one of the few people in the best condition.

It's the sorcery of chaos!The young magician felt a sudden pang of desperate despair.Such powerful magical energy is condensing, this will be a powerful spell, and once this magic hits the top of the city, it means that the last resistance will be defeated, and the Chaos Legion will sweep everything!

Wait... there seems to be... what's the problem?

The energies of the magical winds are drawn, but these energies have not yet been controlled by a will.Adel suddenly discovered the blessings of the gods—at this moment, the Chaos wizards made a fatal mistake—they spent a lot of energy extracting energy and weaving magic, but neglected to exert will control.

Almost without thinking, Adel controlled the magic in that unowned state with his own willpower.The enemy—that is, the Chaos Wizard who was casting the spell—did not resist at all, which meant that he might have drawn power beyond his limit, making him unable to continue to control the magic.In any case, Adel caught on to the mistake made by the Chaos Sorcerer.

In the next moment, lightning burst out from the hands of the magician apprentice, sweeping across the battlefield at the top of the city and jumping violently between the enemy army and the enemy army.

It's not enough, that magical energy has not been exhausted.

Adel's hand was wrapped with a spiritual flame.He unleashes a massive fireball, and the siege tower turns into a scorching hell in an instant.The Chaos warriors still in the siege tower howled in pain, the flames of magic engulfed everything, and the high temperature of the flames even melted the steel armor.The fire continued, and this time Adel fired it at the enemy army gathered below the city, where it turned into a sea of ​​burning and screaming.The flames of hunger continued to spread, and even those Chaos warriors who wanted to continue to attack had to stop to avoid the raging heat.

This gave the musketeers and crossbowmen at the head of the city the best targets to attack.Steel arrows and bullets knocked down a large swath of enemies.

Knot... it's over... Adel has exhausted the last of his strength.Two crossbowmen rushed forward in surprise, supported their exhausted hero, and beat him away from the remaining flames that burned his robe.Before Adel passed out, he saw his father and several veterans stab the last Khorne Berserker to death on the top of the wall.

A short time later, the Chaos Sorcerer Lord, Marvin, met the bloodfang lord's wrath in his tent.

Just now, the Chaos Legion was really only a little short of victory.Victory was once so close that it was within reach.But the two magics at the critical moment changed the whole situation of the battle.Someone must be responsible for this mistake, and the person who seems to be most responsible is undoubtedly the leader of the Chaos Wizard, Marvin, a follower of Tzeentch.

Lord Bloodfang is a Chaos Lord favored by Khorne.On this point, one only needs to look at his appearance to understand.Lord Bloodfang is clad in charcoal-black, thick, layered armor, with a Khorne mark made of some kind of glowing stone embedded in his breastplate.The false light on the crocodile-like shoulder armor proves that this is a precious magical armor.He arched his back and leaned forward menacingly, which was the signature body language of the Chaos Lord.

Lord Bloodfang's face was very weird, too many scars were engraved on that face, and the face that should have been calm and handsome had been completely distorted.Perhaps he has received too much love from Khorne, or he has suffered severe trauma to the back of his head (this scar is so conspicuous that even his hair cannot grow back), which made him suffer from pain from time to time—the pain made him The muscles on his face were always on the verge of spasm.So it's easy to understand why everyone thinks Lord Bloodfang always looks like he's about to throw a tantrum.

Of course, for the Chaos Lord, praise is far more important than ridicule.

Lord Bloodfang narrowed his blood-red eyes, looking at the cunning Chaos Wizard in front of him.A deep murderous intent condensed on him.Even in the chaos, Khorne's subordinates are terrifying existences—they never give any reason when they kill people.As many know—and this is true—for the warriors of Khorne, the difference between an enemy and an ally is which one to kill first.

"...That's the truth." Marvin ended his defense with this sentence.Marvin speaks smoothly, well-reasoned and full of verbal guiding skills.But he also knew that Lord Bloodfang might not have heard what he said at all.A warrior of Khorne wants nothing more than to satisfy his bloodlust.Marvin lowered his eyelids seemingly respectfully, and his gaze stayed on Lord Bloodfang's hand.

That hand was holding the battle ax tightly, and the knuckles of the fingers had turned white due to too much force.This shows that he may explode at any time and kill Marvin.

"You're lying!" Lord Bloodfang said unhurriedly. He didn't point out where Marvin's logic went wrong at all, so this sentence was [-]% a bluff.But a Khorne warrior's bluff is far more dangerous and deadly than a cut-throat retort.Because reasoning or something is obviously a joke to the believers of Khorne.

"Their magic is too powerful..." Marvin said. "There are... much more troops garrisoned in this city than normal. So are the magicians."

"They are not as numerous as your subordinates. Sagas has already told me this." Maybe reason prevailed, or Marvin's humble attitude satisfied Lord Bloodfang, who held his battle ax tightly His hands relax.

"What is lacking in quantity can be made up for in quality," Marvin replied. "Half of my subordinates are apprentices, and the city should be full of experienced magicians."

What he said was a fact, an extremely misleading fact.

"Lord Bloodfang, you gave us too little time... You launched the offensive in advance. According to the original plan, we should still be in White Castle at this time."

This is still a fact, although the conclusion logically deduced from this fact is not a fact.

"I need time... I need time to mobilize manpower. Now because I am on the front line, my speed of mobilizing subordinates has been greatly slowed down." Marvin sighed. "I suggest you wait patiently for a period of time. At that time, we will have overwhelming power and let those southerners have a taste of what is called real magic."

"..."

"In addition, I have a small suggestion...Of course, it's just a suggestion. The enemy seems to gather all the magicians here, maybe this means that there are no magic combat power worth mentioning in the scattered small castles around? "
