Beast Throne

Chapter 696 Battle in the Imperial City
Tianyang Empire, outside the imperial city.

At this time, it was no secret that the imperial city was occupied by demons, and it could be said that everyone on the mainland knew about it.Except for those masters who arrived at the beginning, basically all capable people in the empire gathered here, even the strong men from the various principalities in the west.

If the two empires were at war, these people would naturally not come to join in the fun.But demons are different. They are the public enemies of all creatures on the continent. If you don't kill them, it doesn't mean they will let you go. There will inevitably be a battle.In fact, when they heard the news of the fall of the imperial city, except for a small number of people who had property or relatives in the imperial city, the first reaction of most people was shock, and then they secretly rejoiced that the target chosen by the demons was the imperial city. city, not where they themselves are.

When the demons descended on the imperial city, to be honest, almost everyone was taken aback. For a while, everyone was in danger, for fear that the demons would appear in their city the next moment.However, when the inside information about the fall of the imperial city spread like wildfire, and everyone knew that the demons didn't come whenever they wanted, and they needed someone to collude with them secretly, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After working for a long time, the reason why the demons were able to take down the imperial city in one fell swoop was because the people in the imperial city did not live up to their expectations and did such stupid things as seeking skins from tigers.And even if someone cooperates, demons can't just fall from the sky casually, they need to meet many conditions at the same time, such as a perfect enough teleportation circle, and an underground palace that will not be discovered.

It can be said that apart from the imperial city, other cities on the mainland do not meet the conditions for the devil to descend from the sky.

It is precisely because of knowing this that those strong men who have no worries gathered outside the imperial city to help resist.Although the imperial city has fallen now, at least other places are safe.Once the demons are killed from the imperial city, the entire continent will be in turmoil, and no one will be able to escape by then.Since these demons come to kill them, it is better for everyone to unite and trap them to death in the imperial city. Everyone understands this simple truth.

From this point of view, it is difficult to say whether the matter of the devil descending from the sky to the imperial city is a gain or a loss.As the capital of Tianyang, the imperial city is the strongest city on the mainland, and it is extremely difficult to capture it. If the demons attack it head-on, it will be difficult to take it down.But everything is relative, because the imperial city is extremely solid, once it is surrounded, it is not so easy for the people inside to get out, not to mention that the empire ordered a large number of troops to guard around the imperial city not long in advance.

The demon originally wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out all these fighting forces in one fell swoop, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Feilin and Yigu who happened to come to deal with family affairs dealt with those Hellfire stone men.In this way, it was self-defeating, and these troops that were supposed to be eliminated immediately became the first force to besiege the demons, and successfully resisted the demons' attacks again and again.

There used to be dozens of post stations, large and small, outside the imperial city, but now they have all been requisitioned and turned into residences for the powerful. Each of them can be said to be a prominent figure on the mainland, and it is absolutely impossible for them to gather together Here, it is even more impossible to live in such a "shabby" place.

Among all the post stations, the most conspicuous one is the one in the southwest.This inn is not the largest one, and the decoration is not the most gorgeous, but in the inn, there is a mage tower, which is the only mage tower among all the inns.

This mage tower belongs to the famous female great magician Felin on the mainland, who is also the acting dean of San Siro Academy.Feilin's reputation is naturally not small, and anyone should give him three points of face, but choosing to build a mage tower here and now is not a little too proud.

Although Feilin's strength is strong, he is not invincible. At this time, there are not many great magicians who are comparable to her strength.Mage towers are nice to help increase the power of the Archmage's magic, but they're not essential.None of the other great magicians asked for the establishment of the mage tower, but Filin ignored everyone's opposition and decided to build the mage tower regardless of the cost, putting himself above all other great mages.In the eyes of outsiders, Filmin's move is tantamount to declaring his transcendent status, and it is no exaggeration to call it a provocation.

With Feilin's character, she naturally doesn't care about other people's opinions, and she also has enough financial and material resources to build a mage tower in a very short period of time.At the beginning, the others didn't say much. Although the mage tower was built by Filin, other great mages can also borrow it!But when the mage tower stood up, other people knew that they were thinking too much.As soon as the mage tower was completed, Ferrin closed the gate, refusing any other mages to enter the tower except those he trusted.

Occasionally, people who thought they had more dignity offered to use it to cast spells, but they were flatly rejected by Filin, without showing any face.

In this way, Filin offended all the other magicians at once. If the situation did not allow it, some people might not be able to resist challenging Filin.And she was really too much. Several times the demons came out of the imperial city, and Fei Lin didn't participate in the resistance.However, just when some great magicians were about to unite to warn Filin, Filin reversed everyone's opinion in one fell swoop by virtue of his superb means.

It was the most intense battle so far. The trapped demons who were about to go mad did not care about losses at all. They actually changed the previous strategy of using low-level demons as cannon fodder, and let the most powerful nightmare knights form an assault force. Killed out in one direction.

Due to lack of preparation, the battle was in a one-sided state at the beginning. The defense line built by the human army was completely unable to resist the crazy attack of the nightmare knights, and was killed in a short time.When the powerhouses stationed in other positions dared to assist, the demon army had completely torn through the line of defense.And several demon kings on the demon side also showed up, so that those strong men could not be distracted from attacking the underground demon army.

This is where the advantage of the breakout party lies. They can mobilize all their forces to charge in one direction, while the besieging party has to distribute all their forces equally.Especially in the current situation where the strength of the besieged party is not lower than that of the besieged party, it is even more difficult.If left alone, once the demons successfully rushed out, it would be almost impossible to encircle and annihilate them.The only certainty is that no matter which city they appear in, they will bring about an unprecedented catastrophe and greatly affect the morale of the human army.

But at this moment, Feilin made a move, bringing a drizzle as soon as he appeared.She was originally a water magician, so it was easy to cause such a drizzle.At the beginning, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Some even thought that Filin was crazy. At this time, it was raining for nothing. Could it be that they wanted to calm down the crazy killing demons?However, the situation gradually changed.

Seeing that those demons were about to fight out, the low-level demons with the largest number fell to the ground one by one, foaming at the mouth and twitching.Although those demons with stronger strength were not so unbearable, they could no longer exert their due strength, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Even a few ordinary soldiers could intercept a nightmare knight.

However, those who are most affected belong to those shadow demons who were originally the most troublesome.These demons pose no threat to the strong, but they can easily control the soldiers. In order to deal with these shadow demons, the human side has taken great pains and tried various methods.After all, these demons have no entity, and only magic attacks can hurt them.

But the drizzle brought by Film changed the situation.The drizzle can weaken the strength of the demons, but it is not fatal. Even the lowest level of little demons will just pass out, and human soldiers need to step forward to make up for it.But for those incorporeal shadow demons, this drizzle is like pouring sulfuric acid on their bodies, eating away at their bodies bit by bit, making them extremely painful and helpless, and even after a long time, they will die. really gone.

This kind of method has never been seen before. In the long history of fighting between humans and demons, it has never been heard that demons can be poisoned, and it is so effective that even those powerful demon kings feel that they are more or less poisonous. suffered a little.As a result, the battle could not go on, and the startled demon kings immediately gave the order to retreat, and took the lead to return to the imperial city.

However, the demon army on the ground was not so relaxed. Originally, they had already broken through the human defense line, but now they had to charge again to return to the city.It's just that their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced this time, and they simply don't have enough strength.When the battle ended, none of the demons that rushed out survived, and they were all left outside the imperial city.

From the initial panic to despair, the dramatic feeling of unprecedented victory, it can be said that it was completely removed by Filin's own power and reversed the entire battle situation.It was also this battle that finally established Film's extraordinary status. Since then, no one dared to have any objections to Film.

It is true that her strength cannot be said to be the strongest, but she has weapons of mass destruction.Especially for the soldiers at the bottom, Ferrin is simply the goddess in their hearts.As long as there is film, the burden on them will be several times easier, and the safety of their lives will be guaranteed enough. No one wants to die in the hands of demons if they can live.

"Master Dean, what do you think of the current situation?"

On the top floor of the mage tower, a man and a woman are standing on the high platform, looking towards the direction of the imperial city.Needless to say, the woman is undoubtedly the master of the Master Tower, Feilin, but the man is not her husband Yigu, but a man who is relatively unfamiliar to her but whose identity is very important, Zhennan Wang Sutu.

Fei Lin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable with Su Tu's visit.She didn't want to meet Su Tu, because she knew that once she met Su Tu, she would be used by the other party invisibly, which was a situation she didn't want to see.The Tianyang Imperial City fell, and Emperor Su Bolai was declared the public enemy of mankind, but the Tianyang Empire still exists after all, and someone needs to take over.

Su Bolai has three sons, each of whom is excellent enough to be the heir.Originally, the imperial throne had little to do with Sutu, but this time it was completely different.When a father is in league with the devil, his sons are naturally not trusted.At the moment when the imperial city fell, Zhennan Wang Sutu immediately jumped from the fourth overall candidate for the next emperor to the first overall, becoming a hot candidate.

Moreover, Su Tu is also very capable. After the incident, Su Tu quickly controlled the major provinces in the south, stabilizing the situation in the empire.It can be said that the current Sutu has become the uncrowned king, and Feilin has no doubt that those nobles in the south who originally opposed Sutu must have changed their banners and joined Sutu's command.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial border guards were still under the control of Nimitz, I am afraid Sutu would have proclaimed himself emperor by now.Among the three princes, only the eldest prince Su Zhen still has the hope of inheriting the throne.

During this period of time, Su Tu has been showing goodwill to him frequently, no doubt hoping that he can stand on his side, or let others look like he is on his side, this point is very clear in Filin's heart.

"Your Highness, if you have any plans, just speak up. I just want to resolve this matter as soon as possible." Feilin replied calmly, with a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
