Heart of the Castle

Chapter 544 The Indestructible Sacred Barrier
Abyss Hell has always been known for its extremely harsh natural environment. For most creatures, there is an absolute forbidden zone.The land of Abyss Hell is made of hot obsidian, and there are cracks everywhere, and hell flames often erupt from the cracks; there is no clean water in the river, either dirty mud or tumbling magma, emitting Foul sulfurous gas.

Even the rain that falls from the sky is formed by high-temperature strong acid. A hell scholar once conducted a cruel experiment, placing creatures that do not have the ability to resist fire and acid in the acid rain of hell. It only takes a few heartbeats If there is a gap, the skin and muscles of these creatures can be corroded and melted, exposing the bloody white bones.

It is conceivable that the devil's physical fitness is strong enough to survive in such a harsh natural environment.In fact, hell creatures are almost all proud of their strong bodies. Even those little devils who look about the height of a ten-year-old child have skin on the surface of their bodies that is tougher than thick tanned leather armor. If it is critical, there is no way to kill them directly, let alone penetrate their bodies.

However, in front of the bows and arrows shot by the human defenders, these demons suddenly found that their bodies had become extremely weak. When the little demons rushing to the front fell to the ground and died under the rain of arrows, they were not surprised. Among the regular devil troops, the little devils are just some cannon fodder troops.

However, even the horned demon warlord with thick leather and scale armor was easily pierced through the chest by the flying arrows, which made those demons feel frightened. The thick skin of the horned demon warlord is as strong as The plate gold armor of a human knight!

Seeing the crippled teams retreating in chaos, a stern look flashed across the eyes of the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, and then he raised four strong arms, and slammed the abyss demon iron hammers into each other , accompanied by a deafening bang, a dazzling spark suddenly burst out from the middle of the huge black hammer head.

"Back back, or die!"

The roar of the evil god of the abyss rolled across the sky of the king's capital like thunder, and the retreating demon troops stopped immediately. Due to their haste, many demons even squeezed and trampled each other.Then they let out a creepy howl, and launched a counterattack towards the camp of the human defenders.

This counterattack is meaningless at all. Most of the leaders of these demon teams have died under the intensive care of the silver alloy armor-piercing arrows, and the few remaining can't find their own troops.What made a terrible noise and rushed towards the temporary defense line was just a mess without organization and coordination.Li Wei even saw some weak fire-throwing monsters and burners being pushed to the ground by other demons, and then trampled on by countless legs and feet.

The Griffon Lord made a gesture, and the rain of arrows fell on the demons' heads again, but this time no silver alloy armor-piercing arrows were used. Those precious alchemy weapons should not be wasted on the cannon fodder troops.These counterattacking demons seem to have no morale at all. They have no desire to win in their eyes, and the rest is just fear. They are afraid of the approaching death, and they are even more afraid of the commanders of the magic army who are far more terrifying than death.

The screams did not last for a short time. Losing the terrifying power of the silver alloy armor-piercing arrows, those almost crazy demons even touched the edge of the temporary defense line, but a howling steel storm gave them a head-on blow. hit.The heavy short-throwing spears and throwing axes tore through the demon's body effortlessly, and the blood splashed in an instant made even veterans who were used to brutal battles shudder.

"It's abnormal, it's too abnormal." Lord Gandalf, the abyss alchemist, shook his head with bull-like horns vigorously. His mouth protruding forward like a hyena opened and closed, breathing out flames with a foul-smelling sulfur breath. "When did demons get killed so easily? Could it be that those humans are all knights with grudge power?"

"There are quite a few knights behind that line of defense, about one or two hundred." The evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, replied with a big mouth, "But most of them are not knights, they look like ordinary soldiers."

"Ordinary soldiers? What can they do in the face of the attack of the demon army? It's amazing to be able to keep their crotch dry!" Lord Gandolf snorted coldly, "Let's put down those surprisingly powerful weapons. With a calm posture against the enemy, it can be called a strong army!"

"This is the capital of the human kingdom. The defensive soldiers are more elite, and the weapons are better equipped. Are these normal?" The evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, sneered ferociously. "Lord Gondor, if you feel sorry for your troops and don't want these wastes to lose too much, then replace me, Lord Yerudir, and I will let those pathetic humans taste what real despair is! "

Gandolph snorted angrily, "Yerudil, take back your slander against me, Mr. Gandolf, or I will let you taste despair first!" He grunted in a low voice while opening his right hand.A raging hellfire suddenly appeared in his palm, and then stretched and lengthened, forming a flaming whip like a hydra.Each flame snake head of the long whip seems to have its own life, dancing in the air, hissing and screaming threateningly towards the evil god of the abyss.

The smile on the corner of the evil god of the abyss became more gloomy and cold, and his eight-meter-long body stepped back two steps with agility that was completely opposite to its huge body, and then raised four black magic hammers. "Can I see this as a formal challenge?" The tall and muscular voice of the evil god of the abyss was reminiscent of a scorching storm erupting from the crater, with a sense of impatience. "Lord Gandalf, are you going to challenge me, Lord Yerudir?"

Lord Gandolph swung his right hand downwards, and the flame whip flew across the air with a hiss, and hit the roof of Obsidian Castle hard.Even with the blessing of powerful dark magic on the roof and ground, the whip still left several parallel cracks as thick as arms, "Yerudil, if you want to die, then consider it a formal challenge."

"Both are idiots!" Although the voice of the Demon Grand Duke Sera Farna was soft, the meaning in the words pierced through the hearts of the two powerful demons like a frost blade.This demon grand duke has a weak appearance similar to a young human woman. Her delicate and moving face is like jade carved by a master craftsman, with a glimmer of light in it; Compared with ordinary demons, they are all weak, like living works of art.

However, this appearance is completely a deception. Grand Duke Serra Farna has a very high status in the abyss hell. He controls the entire hell plane and belongs to a powerful existence second only to the abyss lord.When she opened her mouth, the two powerful demons who were already at war immediately restrained their anger, and even became panicked.

"Leave those humans alone, do you want internal strife?" Saila Farna said in a cold tone, "Or are you already afraid of the power of those humans?"

"Of course not, Your Excellency, please forgive me. I just underestimated the strength of those humans, so the attack suffered some setbacks." Gandolf, the abyssal demon lord, took half a step back involuntarily, and then bowed his head deeply, " But please rest assured, as long as I deal with them seriously, those humans won't be able to resist for long..."

"Underestimate? It's imbecility!" Serra Farna sneered sharply, "Lord Gandolf, has the happy life in the abyss blinded your eyes? Look up and take a closer look. What's there?"

The Lord of Abyss Demon Refining raised his head in doubt. At first, he only saw the red night sky reflected by the bloody sea of ​​flames, the stars disappeared, and even the silver and red moons hanging obliquely in the sky seemed dimmed.But when he observed carefully, he soon discovered the faint golden light shrouding the top of his head.

"Sacred field enchantment? Isn't this thing destroyed just now? How can it continue to exist?" Gandalf's tone was far more surprised than doubted. "It's no wonder that my troops have suffered such a heavy blow. The weakening of lower-level demons in the sacred domain is still obvious."

"Is it just for lower-level demons?" Sierra Farna waved her hand impatiently and said, "This sacred domain enchantment is not that simple, don't you feel it? In order to maintain the existence of the blood tide domain, the obsidian castle consumes far more energy Much higher than usual!"

Seeing Lord Gandolf muttering and being speechless, the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, showed a smug expression on his face, "Your Excellency is really wise." He tried his best to make his voice more pleasant, but unfortunately it sounded like Still barking like a hyena, "Gandalf is an imbecile at all, making all his troops useless."

"Shut up, Yerudir, your proposal is just as stupid!" Sera Farna glanced at the evil god of the abyss coldly, making him not only shut up, but also shrink his huge body as much as possible, as if In this way, you can escape the anger of the Grand Duke Kai. "Those human defenders don't only rely on the enchantment of the sacred domain. Haven't you seen the silver arrow they fired? Although it is the result of being strengthened by the sacred domain, it can penetrate the power of several horned demon warlords. You How many blows can your body withstand?"

Now it was replaced by the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, who was tongue-tied. He had a ridiculously big mouth, and the expression on his face was very embarrassing.

"We must find a way to destroy this enchantment of the sacred domain." Lord Gandalf looked at the golden mask in the sky with blood-red eyes, and his voice was extremely harsh and unpleasant due to nervousness. "Otherwise, if you want to break through the human defense, the lower-level demons will suffer too much loss, which will be very detrimental to the implementation of the next step of the Great Monarch's plan."

"Lord Gandolph, this fact is obvious! I don't need your unnecessary reminder!" Sera Farna said angrily, "The question now is, how do we destroy this sacred field enchantment?"

"There must be more than a plurality of magical nodes in any enchantment, one or several of which are crucial, and the other nodes play a supporting role." Lord Gandolf thought about it and said, "Your Excellency, we should send Troops, destroy all suspicious locations in this city, and see if this barrier can collapse on its own!"

"If it is so easy to destroy the enchantment of the sacred domain of the City of Glory, then why did the Great Monarch go to great lengths to arrange Lillaya and Ken Adams?" Sierra Farna shook her head. With long hair like crimson flames, the tone was sharp and straightforward, "Don't you think the abyss twin birth ceremony is a very simple thing? The energy used by this legendary magic is even enough to support the blood tide field for 100 years! Any high-level succubus can It is enough to serve as a wedge for teleportation magic, and it does not need to consume so much energy!"

"Your Excellency, do you mean that the magic node of this sacred field barrier does not exist in the city, and the series of plans arranged by the Grand Monarch are to destroy this barrier?" Lord Gandolf couldn't believe it. asked shaking his head.

"That's right, if you haven't forgotten, we once surrounded this city hundreds of years ago, and tens of thousands of demon armies attacked day and night, but because of the existence of this sacred domain enchantment, we suffered extremely heavy losses. What's even more troublesome is that in order to destroy this enchantment, the Great Sovereign gathered twelve marquises and dukes together to activate the legendary magic of Doomsday Storm, but the result was unexpected."

"Could it be that the doomsday storm... was blocked by the enchantment of the sacred domain?" Lord Gandolph asked cautiously.

"No, no enchantment can withstand the attack of the doomsday storm. Legendary magic has turned [-]% of the buildings in this city into ruins. Several places suspected of being magic nodes have been given special attention, and even the broken walls are broken. No one left behind. However, the enchantment of the sacred domain has not been completely destroyed, and its power has gradually recovered with the passage of time, just like the situation we are encountering now."

"Destroy all...that is to say, those buildings are not magic nodes of the enchantment." Lord Gandalf said.

"That's why the Great Sovereign suspects that the magical nodes of the enchantment in the sacred realm of the City of Glory are not tangible buildings, but invisible blood power—the blood power of Arthur's royal family." Sera Farna sighed softly, "So The Great Monarch arranged this series of plans, wanting to eradicate Arthur's royal blood once and for all... but it seems to have failed."

"The Great Sovereign's curse failed?" Abyss Evil God Yerudir looked quite shocked, "How is this possible?"

"Fool! It is impossible for any curse to ignore the distance limit, and the blood curse is no exception." Sera Farna's eyes flickered, "There is only one possibility that the curse launched by the great monarch is not completely successful, and that is There is still at least one bloodline of Arthur's royal family flowing outside!"

"The seven hells are under, this is really a damn variable." Lord Gandolf cursed, "Your Excellency, is there no better way to deal with this sacred domain enchantment?"

"A better way? Lord Gandalf, can you and your troops only be able to fight under favorable circumstances?" Sierra Farna's mouth outlined a dangerous arc, obviously smiling, However, large beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the burly and majestic abyss demon refining lord.

"No, Your Excellency, I just want to minimize the loss of troops. As long as it is your order, of course I will do it at all costs!" Then he stood up as fast as his huge body could allow, It roared like thunder towards the demon army gathered below the obsidian castle.

"Attack! The whole army is attacking!"

At the same time, behind the first temporary line of defense established by the human defenders, Belia, the deputy archbishop of the Temple of the Earth, led dozens of clergy and hurried over, whispering something to Levi Ston. sentence.The face of the Griffon Lord couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

"What did you say? Your Excellency the Vice-Principal of Beria..." Li Wei couldn't help blurting out, and then hastily lowered his voice, "The Death Knights who left from the north gate had an encounter with an unknown enemy, and have fallen into a bitter battle? Is the source of this news reliable?"

"It should be said to be reliable." Deputy Archbishop Beria replied softly, "I used the detection lie on the knight who reported the news, and found no abnormalities. And you should know that person, who used to be your attendant knight Grunworm."

"Glen Worm? Didn't he disappear due to the attack of the undead ambush when he was evacuating Queensland City?" Li Wei said with some surprise.

"That's right, but it seems that this young man's luck is good, or, in other words, he has some special magic item that protects him from sneaking into the ranks of the accused, and he hasn't shown his feet for more than a month. "Vice Archbishop Beria looked at the griffin lord with a dull expression, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a helpless smile on his face, "Master Li Wei, I know this reason sounds quite funny, but it seems to be true. That's it."

Li Wei shook his head vigorously, shaking the emotion that he didn't know how to describe out of his mind, "Since the information is credible, the plan may have to be changed. We not only have to defend the North Gate, but also Deploy troops to support the Death Knights, and ensure that the retreat to the north is unimpeded!"

Deputy Archbishop Beria nodded solemnly, "It seems that this is the only way to go, Lord Li Wei, if you agree, I would like to send the Giant Mountain Knights from the Temple of the Earth to support it."

"I agree, but it's not enough." After thinking for a while, Levi made a decision immediately, "Let Donald the Roaring Bear lead [-] Griffin Knights and help the Death Knights defeat those knights within an hour." enemy!"
