Heart of the Castle

Chapter 160: Together with the Enemy, the Bloody Battle Against Demons
"Thank you, the supreme Father, for granting me this opportunity without violating my vows, nor violating the justice and creed that I have followed all my life."

Herbert prayed silently, and then he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his majestic gaze swept over every knight and cavalry.Wherever the eyes of the venerable great knight commander looked, there were bright or faint fighting spirits on the knights, while the cavalrymen were short of breath, as if the leather armor on their bodies suddenly became too tight.

"Anyone want to leave?" Herbert asked loudly like thunder.

"Only the cowards leave!" Dragonson's rough voice was the first to answer, and then all the knights and cavalry drew their long swords and raised them high.

Herbert also pulled out his long sword, and the mithril long sword named "Holy Light" shone with a pure white light, echoing the bright white light that bloomed from his body. "When the evil disaster comes, we will never back down! In the name of the supreme Father God, we will fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" The knights and cavalry shouted together.This voice full of fighting spirit also infected the troops behind Li Wei. Those militiamen felt their hearts surged, and their faces were flushed with blood.

"Li Wei, in the name of the supreme Father God, I beg you and your troops to abandon the past and fight side by side with us." Herbert turned around and said in a very earnest voice.

"Master Herbert, all human beings should share the same hatred against the magic army, not to mention it is an honor for all of us to fight side by side with your hero." Li Wei replied without hesitation.

So the army that was supposed to crusade against the refugee camp joined forces with the guards of the refugee camp.The cavalry was assembled under the leadership of the knights to form a battle formation; the spear phalanx formed by the militia formed a solid line of defense in front of the cavalry; the central part of the front row of this phalanx was composed of 12 alchemists The core support point composed of warrior spearmen, and Li Wei and others also entered the forefront of the spear phalanx, preparing to fight against the most difficult guys in the charge of the demon army.

Ranger Hua Lun ran out of the dense forest with his hat on his head in one hand and a short bow in the other. Behind him were more than a dozen scouts holding short bows.These people had obviously just escaped from the hands of the devil, their faces were pale and out of breath, and some of them still had black marks of flames on their bodies.

"Come, come, demons, there are so many..." Hua Lun ran all the way to the front of the spear phalanx, and reported to Li Wei out of breath.

"How many of them are there?" Li Wei stretched out his hands to support Hua Lun's crumbling body, and asked in a low voice.

"I can't count...the number of demons seems to be more than the stars in the sky."

"Supreme Father God, please have mercy..." Chester Chester heard Warren's answer, and couldn't help but put his hands together on his chest and began to pray.

"Are you scared? Cowardly Chester, I'm so excited, I can finally let go and make a big fight!" Dragonson shook his surprisingly large two-handed sword, a little contemptuously. said.

"Afraid? Lord Dragunson, I am ready to die on the battlefield, and I will never take half a step back. You must take back your insult to me, otherwise once you and I are lucky enough to defeat the demon, we will still be able to stand here , I will challenge you to a duel because of your words!" Knight Chester retorted sharply with his face flushed.

"Okay, I take it back." Dragonson said indifferently: "Since you are a man, stand by my side and let you see how I, Dragonson, kill demons."

Hua Lun led the exhausted scouts back towards the refugee camp. At this moment, black smoke rose from the dense forest in the distance, extending into the mist in the sky like terrifying pillars. .Right at the place where the black smoke rose, the spruce trees as tall as sentinels made a terrible cracking sound, and each tree fell down, followed by a sound like countless drums beating at the same time.

The wind blew up bursts of black smoke, mixed with a strong sulfur breath, which made it difficult for people to breathe.Swinging tongues of flame sprang out from the dense forest, making a crackling sound like a devil's grin, devouring everything in the dense forest.The frightened beasts rushed out of the burning forest one after another, and rushed past the crowd in a panic.And the sunlight in the sky has been covered by thick smoke, and the entire field of vision is gloomy, as if the end is coming.

The sound of war drums is denser and louder.

The knights took a deep breath and firmly held the swords in their hands.

The demon army is coming soon.

The first batch to arrive were the little devils holding steel forks. These short, dark-skinned guys made chirping and screaming noises, pouring out of the dense forest like dense ants, as if they were endless.Behind them are tall and sturdy horned demons. Although these big men covered with fiery red scales have no special abilities, with a full two hundred pounds of strong and well-developed muscles, they can overwhelm ordinary human warriors. Grind into patties.

The Burners, whose hands and feet were covered with red and black magic patterns, were the third group of demons to appear. These guys looked thin and inconspicuous.But in fact, they are experts at manipulating flames. Balls of fire are thrown around in their hands like toys, and occasionally they will come out of their hands, turning a small bush into a sea of ​​flames.

As a big demon, the Burner is much smaller in number than the Horned Demon, and there are many fire-throwing monsters around them. These guys are of the same race as the Burner, but they are much weaker and can also manipulate flames. , but there is no way to make the flame explode and burn, it can only form a rocket to hit the enemy.

In the end, a dozen or so hellhounds that were as big as calves appeared. These brutal monsters lowered their heads, and strong corrosive saliva dripped from the sides of their sharp teeth, billowing gray smoke on the ground.However, these seemingly fierce guys seemed a little embarrassed, not only were they extremely rare in number, but each of them seemed to be seriously injured.

Mengmeng, the big bobcat squatting next to Li Wei, snorted a few times triumphantly, indicating that this was his masterpiece. Before the arrival of the demon army, Mengmeng big bobcat led its subordinates to have a fierce battle with it, and as a way to fight against the big lynx The Cerberus, the main force of the Bobcats, was severely taught by these jungle kings in the dense forest. At least half of the Cerberus never got up again, and most of the rest were covered in bruises.

If there were not so many demons, Mengmeng and its subordinates might even directly block the advance of the demon army.However, although the big lynx can come and go without a trace in the dense forest, it can't stop the advance of thousands of demons.

What really hit the bobcats was the fireballs from the fire monsters and incinerators. When the dense forest where they were hiding turned into a sea of ​​flames, these dense forest predators had to disperse and retreat to avoid being swarmed up The demon army was torn to shreds.

As the screams of the demons suddenly became louder, an unusually tall and burly fiery red figure appeared at the edge of the dense forest.The demon was wearing a set of heavy metal armor. Many evil runes were etched on the surface of the armor, which shone with a luster similar to brass; a pair of blood-red bone wings stretched out from the gap specially reserved behind the armor, It was as if two bloody gallows had been erected behind this demon; the demon's head resembled a crocodile with two sharp horns, and there was a sinister smile unique to a slaughterer, but from his blood-red eyes The erupting evil light is far from the characteristic that any natural life can appear.

"Is this... a Lord-level demon?" Herbert stroked his silver-white beard, and a gleam of consciousness flashed in his eyes. "It doesn't seem like a bad thing if I can make it my last opponent in this life."

The demons gathered outside the dense forest. The imps and horned demons walked around anxiously, eager to slaughter lives and drink human blood.However, intelligent demons such as fire-throwing monsters and incinerators are much more stable, with vicious eyes constantly looking at the defense forces of the refugee camp.

The Demon Lord who appeared last suddenly raised his head, looked up to the sky and let out a roar. It was a special command composed of dozens of demon language words, which contained incredible evil and blasphemy. A soldier's body trembled slightly.After hearing Lord Demon Lord's order, all the demons let out frightening screams, and then they rushed towards the refugee camp like a red wave rolled up on the flat ground!
