Heart of the Castle

Chapter 78 The Defeat of the Demon Knights
The order of the black armored knight cannot be disobeyed. Although the slave riders are afraid of death, it is obvious that they are more afraid of the anger of the black armored knight.After screaming wildly for a while, these demon slave riders turned the black monster under their crotch again, ready to launch a new round of impact.

However, at this time, under Li Wei's command, the pikemen had been divided into two rows, firmly blocking the entrance of the camp.The spearmen in the front row squatted on the spot, the end of the spear pierced into the soil under their feet, holding the barrel of the gun tightly with both hands, and pointed the sharp steel tip forward; On the shoulders of the front row, two rows of long guns formed a small dense gun forest.

The gate of the refugee camp is only less than three meters wide, and each row of six pikemen is already a very dense formation. On the left and right sides of the first row of pikemen, there are also standing one who is covered in metal armor with two hands A crusader swordsman with a heavy sword.The light green vindictive radiance covered their bodies, undulating slightly with their breathing.

This time, the demon riders rushed to the front of the spear formation, and they used the momentum of the charge to throw the short-throwing spears in their hands.This was originally a good way for the light cavalry to deal with the spear array. If the demon riders were allowed to throw spears to attack, even if Li Wei's spearmen were well-equipped, some casualties would definitely occur.However, the two crusader swordsmen standing on both sides of the spear formation suddenly moved, and the heavy swords tore through the air, making a muffled sound similar to thunder.

The sword light was like a silver waterfall, converging from left to right to the middle, the short-throwing spears twisted and shattered in the sword light, only a few sporadic ones broke through the blocking of the sword light, but they all deviated far from the position of the spear formation, deeply helpless. into the wooden wall.

A flash of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the black-armored knight watching the battle. He raised his pitch-black long sword and was about to give orders again when he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.

"Why... um, hell!"

This premonition came quickly and quickly, and the black-armored knight's response was also very decisive. He tilted his body and fell off the horse.

Almost as soon as he rolled off his horse, a sharp arrow fell from the sky with a piercing sound of piercing wind, piercing deeply into the back of the black-armored knight's mount.The black armor on the horse's back did not play much role in front of this sharp arrow. The black steed let out a long neigh, the man stood up, kicked his hooves a few times, and then fell to the ground.

The black armored knight rolled a few times on the spot, then got up.His armor looked very heavy, but he was still flexible when wearing it, showing the extraordinary physique and strength of this black armored knight.Seeing the tragic death of his mount, the black-armored knight obviously became furious. He reached out and took off a pitch-black longbow from his shoulder, put a twisted black long arrow on the bowstring, and looked up.

On the watchtower near the gate, the demon hunter Grace's eyes were cold, and the second sharp arrow had already been attached to the silver fir longbow, pointing directly at the head of the black-armored knight.

The black-armored knight snorted, and Grace's cold gaze was as real as it was, actually piercing his eyebrows with a slight pain.It was the first time the black-armored knight met such a brilliant archer, and he couldn't help feeling a little afraid.

If it was a brave man who could face life and death directly, the black armored knight would never have degenerated from a lord to a demonized knight.The pressure Sir Grace put on him was enough to scare him. Although the black-armored knight boasted that his archery skills would not be lost to anyone, he would not be able to fight to the death with that terrifying archer on the watchtower. what he wants to do.

The hoarse and cold voice sounded again, this time the order was quite different from before.

"Don't worry about the gate, attack the watchtower first!"

The demon rider has already thrown two rounds of short-throwing spears in a row, more than 40 of them were intercepted by the sword light of the crusader swordsman and shattered in front of the spear array. A short throwing spear shot into the spear formation, but it stabbed obliquely on the spearman's helmet and bounced away.

The black-armored knight's new order relieved the trembling demon riders. They immediately kicked their mounts heavily on the abdomen and fled from the gate of the camp as quickly as possible.

Seeing those demon slave riders running away from the gate of the camp in a mess, there was a burst of cheers from behind the gun formation. It was the voice of some camp guards and courageous villagers.Holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, they stood behind the pike formation formed by the pikemen, ready to rush over to fight the devil if the pikemen couldn't resist.Donna stood at the front of the line with a lame leg. What he held was not an ordinary logging axe, but a rather heavy double-edged battle axe. A vivid roaring bear was cast on the spine of the axe. head.

This is the real weapon used by the famous Roaring Bear Donald among adventurers!
The threat to the gate of the camp was temporarily lifted, but the archers on the watchtower were greatly threatened.Dozens of demon slave riders walked outside the wooden wall at high speed, took out their short throwing spears, and threw them fiercely at the watchtower.

The strength of the demon rider is quite terrifying. The short-throwing spear can play far more lethal power than ordinary arrows within a distance of about 30 meters.

If it was the watchtower before it was improved, the camp guards above would either be turned into hedgehogs by the intensive spear-throwing, or be terrified by the dense attacks of migratory locusts and escape from the watchtower.Fortunately, the newly built watchtower is more than 15 meters high, and there is a wooden low wall more than half a meter high as a protection. Although it was trembling from the impact of the short-throwing spear, it did not appear to be damaged at all.

None of the archers squatted down and hid in a safe corner behind the low wall. Their bodies stood upright like javelins, holding their longbows firmly with both hands.Compared with the sound of the short-throwing spears hitting the wooden board like raindrops, the sound of the bowstring was much weaker. However, after each sound, a demon slave rider must have screamed and fell from the back of the black monster.

Of course, this kind of confrontation is dangerous. Sir Grace is confident that his courage will not lose to anyone, but when the short-throwing spear comes, he still subconsciously makes a squatting and dodging action.What made him feel a little ashamed was that the archer who was on the same watchtower as him was like a stone statue, standing majestically among the spears flying towards him, and his movements of taking and releasing arrows did not waver at all.

Not far away, another demon slave rider fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then remained motionless.The black-armored knight was extremely anxious. The difficulty of the watchtower was beyond his expectation. Not only was the body of the tower made of solid logs, it was extremely strong, but the archers on it were also extraordinarily heroic. , with astonishing accuracy and speed, shot down sharp arrows to fight back.

The Black Armored Knight's black longbow is so powerful that it can overturn the top of half of the watchtower with one arrow.However, on the watchtower closest to him, a particularly terrifying archer was aiming at him, making him dare not act rashly.

The magic archer is so powerful, the black-armored knight once experienced it on the way to the camp. The shield bestowed by the Demon Lord on the black-armored knight has the blessing of dark magic, and its defense is amazing. The sharp arrow pierced through and burst into a pile of scrap iron.The armor of the black-armored knight was also blessed with dark magic, and its defensive power was considerable, but he absolutely didn't want to try whether this armor would be stronger than the shield.

"Focus on the attack, the target is the watchtower closest to me!" The black-armored knight's voice became ferocious. Although he had the power after demonization, his arms were already sore after drawing the black longbow for a long time.

The slave riders could not disobey the orders of the black armored knights. They screamed piercingly, and swarmed towards the watchtower where Sir Grace was.

Sir Grace gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched wildly, but his hands were still extremely steady, and the sharp arrow on the silver fir longbow was still pointing steadily at the black armored knight's forehead.

"Flop, flutter!" The wooden low wall was hit by countless spear throws in an instant, and the top of the watchtower was not spared, shaking slightly under the spear throws.The archer standing beside Sir Grace suddenly groaned. Sir Grace glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and his heart sank.

A short-throwing spear happened to pass through the gap between the top of the watchtower and the wooden parapet, and hit the archer on the head. With a slash, Bai Sensen's skull was exposed.Blood flowed down his temples and landed on his chest like a little red snake, soaking a large area of ​​his short coat in the blink of an eye.

This kind of injury is not considered minor, and it must be unbearable for an ordinary soldier, and it needs to be bandaged immediately.However, the injured archer still straightened his body, like a straight javelin, nailed to the spot without retreating an inch.

"Boom!" As soon as the bowstring rang, there was another scream from outside the wooden wall. The demon rider who had just thrown the short-throwing spear had an extra spear around his neck before he had time to celebrate his good luck. The sharp arrow fell off the back of the mount.

Seeing that the watchtower stood still despite the short-throwing spear attack, and even fought back with precise bows and arrows, the demon slave riders under him turned over and fell to the ground one by one, and died immediately.The black-armored knight finally couldn't bear such a big loss. With a whistling sound, the pitch-black longbow vibrated, and he shot the sharp arrows in his hand indiscriminately, then turned around and ran towards the darkness.

An inaccurate black sharp arrow grazed the watchtower and gnawed down a wooden parapet. Sir Grace's eyes flashed sharply, and the silver fir longbow also made a vibrating sound. The sharp arrow flew across like a shooting star, bringing With a shrill howling sound, it pierced the back of the black armored knight.

The hooded cloak of the black-armored knight suddenly unfolded, and the whole person suddenly accelerated, rushing into the area covered by darkness.Grace's arrow shot across his cloak, tearing a large piece of black cloth, but it could only helplessly penetrate deeply into the ground.

"This devil is really fast enough to let him escape!" Sir Grace cursed, but a smug smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.The professional level of the black-armored knight just now was at least level 8 or higher. Running away in front of his sharp arrows really made this magic sniper archer feel very happy.

The roar of the black-armored knight made all the remaining demon slave riders panic. They lost the courage to continue attacking, and fled back towards the cover of darkness in a mess. Many people bumped into each other in a panic, and even rolled to the ground.The black monsters on the crotch are also biting each other, competing for the fastest way to escape.

In the chaos, the clang of steel sounded from the direction of the gate of the camp.The pikemen lined up neatly, holding their sharp spears high in their hands. Li Wei led two crusader swordsmen, followed by Donna and others. Dozens of people formed a solid phalanx and headed towards the panicked crowd. The demon riders crushed them!
