Heart of the Castle

Chapter 386 The Demon Disaster Comes Again, The Bloody Battle in Heihe

After Wilps brought the news that the demon army was approaching, Li Wei arranged for several knights to evacuate the people, telling them that the project was over and that the demon army might appear at any time. This place was very dangerous and they should leave as soon as possible.However, many people are unwilling to evacuate. The Ice Wall Great Wall built by themselves is no different from a dam of life to these people. Many people expressed that they would rather stay and live with the Ice Wall Great Wall, even if it is only It can repair the damage of the ice wall, and it can also contribute to the fight against evil disasters.

According to Li Wei's thoughts, he still wanted to continue to persuade these citizens who were unwilling to leave, but Master Sujiad stopped him, "The hearts of the people are available." The old red-robed scholar twisted his beard and said, "Rather than let them live in fear Waiting for the judgment of fate, it is better to organize these people, if used properly, they are likely to become a key weight on the balance of victory."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wei nodded and agreed with Master Sugad's suggestion. The scale of the disaster this time is much larger than the last one. Although the territory has already made quite sufficient preparations, the reserve force will not be too much of.

When Flandara's golden face appeared in the eastern sky, looking northward from the watchtower, Ying Yingzhuozhuo on the extreme northern ice field could see some black and red things moving.As these things approached quickly, a faint smell of sulfur gradually appeared in the oncoming wind. The sentinels who had experienced a catastrophe not long ago understood what this smell meant and did not need further confirmation. The alarm bells rang together.Immediately after the beacon fire ignited, the brown smoke went straight up to the sky. From a distance, it seemed that Heihe had turned into a centipede with many legs.

Li Wei and his knights had already boarded the ice wall for inspection. At this time, the sky was completely bright, like a piece of bright blue crystal, with only a few fluffy clouds floating on it. The sun was shining on both sides of the Black River, and the vision was surprisingly good.Except for the ringing of alarm bells and the long blast of horns, there was silence on the thousands of miles of ice wall on the south bank of the Black River. Soldiers and militiamen were holding their weapons tightly, and gathered under the fluttering griffin flags, waiting for the signal to go to the city for battle; experienced archers They all boarded the watchtower, while orderly sorting out their bows and arrows, they squinted their eyes and looked into the distance.

The army of demons continued to move forward, faster and faster, and soon the appearance of those guys could be clearly seen from the watchtower.Among the devil's army, the little devil with short fleshy wings on its back is the most numerous. The steel fork in his hand is filled with blasphemous magic power, which can make people injured by this evil weapon fall into various negative abnormal states The tall and strong horned demons walked behind, not waving their thick arms. There were several horned demon warlords who were nearly three meters tall in the middle of the horned demons. Those giants had bright red scales like fire. It is extremely tough, and ordinary swords, bows and arrows cannot cause damage at all.

Next came some tall, thin and lonely-looking weird demons with short curving horns growing on their heads and a tail full of short thorns dragging behind them. They didn't seem to be very threatening.This kind of demon did not appear when the last catastrophe came, but Li Wei speculated from their energy fluctuations similar to the great demon incinerator, these should be lower-level demons who have not yet been promoted to incinerator—— fire monster.These guys are also specialized in the use of flame elements, and their performance in close combat is not even as good as ordinary little devils, but if they are far enough away, the flame missiles they fire are terrible long-range attacks that any human army will have a headache for. attack.

The number of demon troops in front of me is thousands, which is almost the same as the number of all demon troops when the last disaster came.At the same time, judging from the igniting of beacon fires and wolf smoke in other places, demon armies have appeared in almost every place in the Heihe River Basin where the waves are gentle and suitable for swimming, and the number is at least several hundred. Heihe swarmed in.Several knights around Li Wei couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, but the young lord himself didn't show any panic, and the look in his eyes was even somewhat joyful.

"Everyone, get ready to welcome our 'guests'!" Li Wei raised the corner of his mouth, showing a murderous smile, and then his voice suddenly increased, "Order, all soldiers go to the city to fight! The militia is ready to support at any time!"

When the flag bearer on the watchtower heard the order, he immediately raised the Griffin flag and shook it vigorously. The red and white flags fluttered in the wind, which was a signal for the soldiers to go up to the city and fight quickly.The veterans who had been waiting for battle immediately climbed up the wooden ladder. In an instant, the silent Great Wall of Ice seemed to wake up, and there were countless noisy sounds.

However, the "guests" came faster, and before the most agile soldiers set foot on the top of the Great Wall of Ice, they had already swooped over and reached the north bank of the Black River.The rushing water of the Black River was icy cold, and for the tenacious demons, swimming was quite dangerous, and the charge of the demon army stopped.But immediately, several figures spread their bat-like wings and flew into the air, rushing towards the south bank of the Black River, each dragging a long iron chain behind them.

"By gods, this is the Winged Demon!" A knight blurted out. "They're going to send those chains across the Black River, and then those guys can rush along the chains!"

This is how the army of demons has crossed the natural danger of the Heihe River, but this time, they are undoubtedly going to be bloodied.The horn blew a few short jumping notes, and the archers on several watchtowers raised their bows to aim at the same time, and the air was filled with the sound of breaking wind.

The cooperation of the alchemy archers was like one person, and each winged demon was shot by at least three longbows. Due to the iron chains behind them, these winged demons were far less able to dodge in the air than usual. With a scream, his body was full of sharp arrows and he fell down, then submerged in the rolling waves of the Black River.Although the few winged demons in the back escaped their vital points due to the distance, most of them were also injured. The second wave of arrows rained down without stopping, and the sound of flapping wings mixed with screams.

Seeing that the winged demon suffered a heavy blow, the leader of the demon army let out a long howl. After hearing the long howl, the remaining winged demons quickly retreated and fell crookedly from the sky.At the same time, those tall and thin fire-throwing monsters came up from behind, gathering fire balls in their hands.A hellfire demon with red and black magic patterns all over its body roared to guide them, preparing to launch a baptism of flames on the Great Wall of Ice.

The effective range of the flame missiles of the fire monster can reach 120 meters, which is a difficult distance for ordinary human archers. The effective range of ordinary bows and arrows is only about 80 meters at most.So even though the opponent had the advantage of the height of the Great Wall of Ice, the fire-throwing monsters still walked to the front in a big way, and then took aim at the watchtower in their spare time.

What answered them was an extremely dense rain of arrows. The dozen or so fire-throwing monsters in the front continued to have bewildered expressions on their faces until the sharp arrows pierced their heads and chests.

"Back, back!" It wasn't until those fire-throwing monsters slammed to the ground that the hell flame demon yelled like a dream.The fire-throwing monsters retreated in embarrassment, and the sharp arrows shot from the Great Wall of Ice followed them and stretched forward. They didn't stop until they retreated 120 meters away.

The two attacks in a row were interrupted, and the morale of the demon army was affected to a certain extent. The tall demon leader howled in anger, showing a ferocious expression on his ferocious face.

"Humans, cunning, are going to die! Expendables, attack!"

The roar shook the sky on the north bank of the Black River like thunder. Dozens of little devils with chains on their bodies showed a very reluctant expression, and they walked out of the queue slowly—or they were pushed out by their companions. .Immediately afterwards, a dozen of the burliest and tallest horned demon warlords came striding over. While howling inhumanely, they picked up those little demons tied with iron chains and threw them fiercely!

The power of the horned demon warlord is undoubtedly very strong, but they can't throw the little devil directly over the black river. However, although the short wings of the little devil are not enough to support them in the air, they can greatly increase the distance of jumping and gliding. Screaming, these little devils flapped their wings and landed on the south bank of the Black River.

The archers on the watchtower sprinkled a wave of obstructing arrow rain, a few little devils screamed and were pierced by sharp arrows, and died before falling into the black river, but there were still a few who passed through the arrow rain Defense, and then more little devils were thrown over, and more and more iron chains stretched across the banks of the Black River.The leader of the demon army yelled an order, and hundreds of voices responded violently and bloodthirstyly.

Seeing that the army of demons had surged across the Heihe River, the knights above the Great Wall of Ice Wall couldn't bear it any longer and pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords to plead to attack, but Li Wei remained very calm.

"Master knights, they won't be able to come up." The young lord's eyes were shining brightly, watching the demon army swarming like waves, he raised his left hand high. "Archer! Use silver alloy armor-piercing arrows to annihilate those fire-throwing monsters!"

Following Li Wei's order, a silver wind seemed to blow from the top of the Great Wall of Ice, and the fire-throwing monsters left on the north bank of the Black River suffered an unexpected disaster.They thought they were far away from the range of human archers, so they didn't take any precautions.However, 150 meters is of course out of reach for ordinary bow and arrow troops, and alchemy archers can have an effective range of nearly 200 meters even on flat ground after using silver alloy armor-piercing arrows.

The Hell Flame Demon who commanded all the fire-throwing monsters was hit by five or six arrows in the first wave of arrows, and the flame elements gathered around him exploded loudly, blowing everything within ten meters around to pieces.Before the fire-throwing monsters could react, the next rain of arrows submerged them. Not to mention the fragile body of the fire-throwing monster, even the scales of the horned demon warlord could not stop the silver alloy armor-piercing arrows at all. Dozens of black and red magic blood flowers bloomed!

　There are some temporary delays, and the second update may be after twelve o'clock, but there will definitely be!
