Heart of the Castle

Chapter 118 The Demon Army Retreats
Following the voice of the tall magician, five streaks of purple light flew from his outstretched fingers, crossed the void side by side, and hit the two Howling Horned Demons in the air with incomparable accuracy.A continuous low roar sounded, and the bodies of the two howling horned demons trembled again and again, making ear-piercing howls.But this time, there was no ferocity in the howl, but a feeling of extreme panic.

"This is... an arcane missile! And it's five shots in a row!" The purgatory flame demon Glucci blurted out in surprise as his body trembled.Its eyes twitched and narrowed, but the blood red inside had faded away.

"Being able to fire five arcane missiles at once, this mage's level... is at least level 9! The abyss is down, this guy is actually a high-level mage!" Gluch muttered to himself, with a dark red mark on his forehead. His sweat dripped out, and when it came into contact with the flame shield of his bodyguard, there was a slight buzzing sound.

What does it mean to be a high-ranking mage?Of course, it is wide-area destructive magic such as lightning beam, ice storm, and fireball, as well as various auxiliary magic that can change the situation of the battle, such as group panic and group acceleration.Gluch had no doubts about the hatred of humans towards demons. That high-level mage would definitely not be stingy with his spell slots. I am afraid that in the next moment, terrible spells will befall the demons.

There were two loud bangs, and the two Howling Horned Demons fell from the air, splashing a cloud of dust on the ground, looking extremely miserable.But then there was a howling sound, the two demons were not dead, and they were still struggling to get up!

Compared with ordinary horned monsters, howling horned monsters are indeed thinner and thinner, but they are still about two meters tall and have 150 pounds of powerful muscles. His body is much stronger.The Austrian missile blasted a bowl-sized blood hole on their bodies. If this kind of injury is placed on a human being, I am afraid that if they do not die immediately, they will collapse on the ground dying.However, these two guys seemed to be completely irritated, grinned and let out a terrifying roar, and then...

No then.

A crimson fireball flew out of the hand of the relatively short mage, and flew towards the middle of the two howling horned demons in a spin. Behind the fireball was a long trail of flames, which looked quite powerful.

The Howling Horned Demon didn't pay much attention to it. The speed of the fireball was not very fast. If they used their extremely powerful jumping power to dodge, it should be possible.However, the two Howling Horned Demons didn't do this. They just covered the vital points of their faces with their arms, and bent their bodies to prepare for the explosion of the fireball.

"Haha, our horned demon clan lives in the middle of the high-temperature sulfur sea of ​​fire. The temperature of the fireball technique is simply painless!" The horned demon warlord Baipa behind him let out a savage laugh, mocking mercilessly The magician who cast the fireball.

What Baipa said is correct, when ordinary human magicians fight against demons, they will not choose the fireball technique with considerable power and range, the main reason is this.Demons come from the terrifying abyss, where there are dense choking smoke and burning sulfur flames. Even a little demon has an amazing ability to resist high temperatures, let alone living next to a sea of ​​sulfur flames The Horned Demon Clan.

Using fireballs to attack these dull but strong behemoths can hardly get any decent results.

However, Gluch, who was on the hill, didn't see it that way. The Purgatory Flame Demon's expression was very strange. It seemed a bit regretful, but it was more relaxed.

"Idiot, can't you see the power of that fireball?"

Grucci muttered in his mouth, and then sent a spiritual hint to the burner beside him.This is the unique ability of the purgatory flame demon, who can command the burners of the same family, as well as the even lower fire-throwing monsters.

"Evacuate immediately, now."

The instructions obtained from the spiritual suggestion were absolutely affirmative. Although the few incinerators who remained under the strike of the sharpshooter felt strange, they still carried out Gluch's order without hesitation.These masters of manipulating flames slowly climbed down the side of the hill, until they could no longer see those terrifying archers, then straightened up and fled desperately into the distance.

With a loud bang, the fireball hit the ground between the two Howling Horned Demons, a bright cloud of fire erupted, and the heat wave billowed everywhere.However, there were two high-pitched howls from the fire cloud, which sounded a little smug.

"Hahaha, well done! Howling Horned Demon! Rush over and kill them!" Horned Demon Warlord Baipa spouted stinky white foam from the corner of his mouth, clenched his huge fist and waved it on his head.Its heart is beating crazily, as long as it can eliminate the two magicians... no, as long as it can eliminate one of them, it will immediately turn around and flee, even if it abandons all the troops around it.

The merits of successfully eliminating a high-level magician far outweigh the cost of losing these subordinates.What's more, if these demon troops are really wiped out, the greater responsibility will be borne by the coward who plays with fire.

Thinking of this, Baipa turned his thick neck, ready to see the distressed expression of Lord Grucci on the hill, but as far as he could see, he could only see those red and black figures that almost disappeared on the distant horizon .

Gluch actually got cold feet?
It's hard to imagine the consequences of doing this. Unlike the horned demon governor Baipa, the purgatory flame demon Grucci is the leader of this demon army. If he just abandons his troops and escapes with a few cronies, the lightest treatment is to deprive him of All power, demoted to an ordinary soldier!
Giving up power is definitely not an easy task for demons, and some demons would rather give up their lives than give up any power in their hands.Based on Baipa's understanding of Gluch, although this purgatory flame demon regards his own life as more important, power is definitely the most important thing to him besides life.

Or did Gluch have a premonition of some life-threatening danger?
When this idea just appeared in Baipa's mind, the horned demon warlord couldn't help but want to laugh at his wild thinking, but immediately there was a sound like howling ghosts and wolves in his ears.

It's the Howling Horned Demon!There was no complacent element in their voices, instead they screamed desperately, their bodies fell and stumbled under the envelop of the fire cloud, rolling all over the ground.

Baipa knew very well that these two Howling Horned Demons, who were his confidantes, had cruel and fierce personalities. Even if their hearts were dug out and roasted on the fire, they would not make such sounds. The last mournful cry can only be burst out from the despair and pain in my heart!
"The abyss is below, what happened to them!" Horned demon warlord Baipa felt his body was shrouded in icy cold. It looked at the two magicians, and then at the spear phalanx that was slowly approaching. An irresistible feeling came to my heart.

Another burst of arrows rained down on the head, and several little devils screamed, turned over and fell to the ground, motionless.On the other side, a silver light flashed, and the head of a horned demon burst open, and the hot brains shot out immediately, splashing the horned demon governor Baipa all over his body.

A tall and thin figure holding a silver longbow appeared on the hill. Behind this terrifying sharpshooter, more figures in cloaks and holding longbows appeared. They stood together in twos and threes, and then drew the longbows in their hands together. !
In the ruins of the village on the right, the last group of half-orcs who were desperately resisting were cut down to the ground. Although the guards of the village were all covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured, they were supported by their excited fighting spirit. Roaring, he surrounded him.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" The horned demon warlord Baipa uttered a strange cry, turned around like lightning, and fled desperately into the distance as fast as he could.Originally, it was relying on Baipa's violent suppression to maintain the formation and not to collapse the demon army suddenly made a chaotic sound. The little demons dragged their wings and ran around without thinking. Fleeing into the depths of the dense forest, the dull and strong horned demon was stunned for a while, then remembered to chase the back of the horned demon warlord, and retreated together.
