The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

In just over half an hour of fighting, the Northern Empire Allied Forces had already lost more than 50 catapults, operators, infantry, and griffins, totaling more than 20,000 killed.

On the other side of hell, the price was not small. The fire demons smashed to death on the city wall, the catapults smashed, and the fire elves and fire elves shot to death totaled about 7,000.

The death rate of 1 to 3 was acceptable to Archduke Aled.

What he couldn't accept was the loss ratio of catapults on both sides. His side lost more than 50 catapults, while the other side only lost 5. Who can accept the ratio of 1 to 10?

This time, Archduke Aled's army hid far away, so the soldier death rate was acceptable. However, the catapult could still be taken care of by the opponent's Doomsday Judgment.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" a messenger asked.

Grand Duke Aled gritted his teeth and said: "Keep up the cannon, keep hitting!"

It will take some time for the new catapults to be erected. During this time, all the staff setting up the catapults will only be bombarded by the catapults on the city wall.

Fortunately, after the previous round of attrition, there were 5 catapults missing from the city wall. In addition, 5 were seriously injured and 3 were slightly injured.

Taking advantage of this time, the Hell troops were also urgently repairing the severely injured and slightly injured trebuchets. They used wing demons to airlift the trebuchets from under the city and continued to assemble them at the top of the city.

There were only 5 catapults that could be successfully fired.

The 5 catapults were quite powerful, but under the cover of human shield infantry, not many people were killed.

But in any case, this is a unilateral beating. If this continues for a long time, the morale of a legion will decline no matter how many soldiers it has.

It's just that the human air force has been exhausted, and the only few hundred royal griffins left are either privately tamed mounts by various nobles, or used by messengers and scouts.

As for spells, even Sellon's Doomsday Judgment can only reach the edge of the army, a battlefield several kilometers away, unless it uses level 5 or even forbidden spells.

No matter how powerful the Doomsday Judgment is, it is only a level 4 strategic spell. In theory, the range of a Level 5 spell can exceed the Doomsday Judgment.

But there are not many people who know level 5 spells. After all, there is no level 5 mage guild in human territory.

A great mage supported by the tower is operating together with the temple, so of course it is impossible for him to appear here to provide reinforcements.

But just because no one knows level 5 spells, it doesn't mean that no one can use level 5 spells.

Several nobles with priest backgrounds came out one after another, and the leader was holding a level 5 spell scroll.

Such spell scrolls are extremely precious. Even in towers, mages who can cast level 5 spells are extremely rare.

The cost of casting a level 5 spell is extremely staggering, and the success rate of making a scroll is even more horrifyingly low.

In this case, the opportunity to spread the level 5 spell scroll is quite rare.

After gathering the power of the entire Northern Empire, they could only find two, one of which was a fire scroll that had little effect on the hell camp.

Getting back to business, the leading priest noble held a scroll and began to cast spells, and the clouds in the sky turned again.

When the Doomsday Judgment was released before, dark clouds had shrouded it, but this time the dark clouds did not cover the entire battlefield, but only stayed at the top of the city.

When the Hellboys at the top of the city saw this, they all said, "Master, I'm afraid the human race is about to cast a spell. Please retreat quickly!"

Sellon looked up at the sky. Dark clouds enveloped the city, which looked particularly scary.

But he said calmly: "Order the fire demon to retreat, and leave all the flame trolls and Hellboys on the city wall for me."

Although Sellon's order was issued in time, the spell was condensed faster, and after a while, the first muffled thunder shot out from the dark clouds.

With a chirp, an attacking catapult was instantly turned into powder.

Then the second and third muffled thunder fell, and almost all those who were hit, whether they were fire demons, evil gods, or seventh-level demons, survived.

Only a few great demons, relying on Sellon's powerful treasures and specializations, can withstand a bombardment.

But Hellboy, led by Sellon himself, immediately shifted his position before the thunder disaster appeared.

Lightning is light, and its appearance is instantaneous.

Teleportation is also a matter of mental rotation. It's hard to say which of the two is faster, but whoever makes the first move will definitely win.

It's a pity that the reaction of demons and big demons is not as fast as lightning. Only the 9th level Hellboy level can move between lightnings.

Of course, their teleportation cannot be continuous. Even if it is barely continuous, the subsequent stiffness will last longer and longer.

But it is inherently indestructible with one blow, and it can also use energy to force teleport twice, so unless you are extremely unlucky and get targeted by thunder three or four times in a row, there is no danger.

Although Thunder's attack is terrifying, the number of times it can be activated is limited. If the flame troll is hit, it will only split into two fire demons and will not die immediately.

Hellboy can dodge, but Sellon doesn't care about other weak creatures on the wall, such as the Horned Demon, Magog, etc.

A level 5 strategic spell, Thunder Bomb, seemed to have killed many demons and destroyed two catapults.

However, except for a few killed level 7 demons and evil gods, the evil god king would make Sellon feel slightly heartbroken, and the effect was not that great.

Of course, the human race has restored a lot of morale as a result.

How many people can a total of 5 catapults kill? If they use this spell, hundreds of high-level creatures above level 7 will die.

Sellon smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart, but quietly waited for the next opportunity to cast a spell.

The human nobles on the ground were not happy about the increase in morale.

A more advanced level 5 spell can cause less than one-third of the damage and loss of a level 4 spell, and this is even if one's side has a full set of anti-magic equipment.

Although there are many heroes on our side who can cast spells, there are only 3 defending heroes on the opposite side including Sellon, and their mana value is definitely incomparable with our own.

The key is the casting time, which is the same for everyone. After the casting is completed, you must wait for the next casting opportunity.

If humans form three legions and attack, they will have two more opportunities to cast spells, but the properties of the anti-magic suit cannot cover the entire army.

While waiting for a large army to attack the city, if someone launches a doomsday judgment that covers the entire battlefield, it will cost their lives.

"Temple Knights, how long will it take to attack the mountain?"

Novak Mountain, the place that Sellon must save, is not because of the mountain fortress on the mountain. No matter how good that thing is, you have to spend money to advance.

Hell was not a wealthy place to begin with. Even if a lot of resources were snatched from the Northern Empire, Sellon's priority was to upgrade the demons.

He has now upgraded all his personal guards to the level of the Great Demon, relying on the mountain fortress.

But that's it, the resources in this world are not unlimited, they need time to be produced slowly.

Except for the big demon, even the fire demons were not all advanced into flame trolls, and the fire elves only advanced to a small number of fire elves.

Without resources, the mountain fortress has no purpose.

However, the strategic location of Norwalk Mountain is too important.

Not only is this the only highest point in the Northern Empire, it can also launch a fatal blow from top to bottom to the Emerald City built on the mountain.

Sellen himself knows very well how much this height can increase the range.

The most important thing is that it is difficult to counterattack the enemies on the mountain inside the city. Even catapults will only attack outwards.

If Norwalk Mountain is captured by humans, Emerald City may not be able to hold on even with a steady stream of reinforcements.

It takes time to assemble reinforcements, and it also takes time to cross the gates of hell.

At the Abyss Passage, support for the Burning Legion has been stopped, and Kerrigan personally issued a message to give priority to supporting Sellon.

But even so, the soldiers transported over the abyss passage are becoming more and more rubbish.

Relying on the Gate of Hell, you can only accumulate strength. If you want to defend the Emerald City, you still have to defend Norwalk Mountain first.

Fortunately, holding Norwalk Hill shouldn't be difficult.

Sellon knew that since the day before yesterday, the troops from the temple had not shown up, and it must be to cooperate with the nobles of the Northern Empire.

Therefore, he basically placed all the troops withdrawn from the three major fortresses on Novak Mountain.

In addition to the remaining troops and support, Sellon also ordered one of his right-hand men to personally lead his headquarters to guard the area.

That's right, Sellon has no intention of returning to support Norwalk Mountain at all.

The geographical advantage of Novak Mountain is too great. Moreover, the temple has few soldiers and horses, and the main output and defense are Paladins.

If it were on flat ground, Sellen would still be a little worried. If he were to attack the mountain, it might be more useful to have his subordinates who were better at defense go there.

His doomsday judgment will still be used in a big scene like Emerald City.

Demons are good at destruction, but building and producing wealth are not what demons are good at.

Therefore, the only reason for the existence of Emerald City is to eliminate more human beings.

From the beginning to the end, the demons have never wanted to occupy human cities. Even if they can be transformed, human cities are too troublesome.

What the devils prefer is to tear things down and start over again.

But they need a complete urban defense system in human cities to decimate the number of humans in large numbers.

Therefore, it is impossible for Sellon to let go of this opportunity to make the Doomsday Blade shine. As for the forbidden magic ball, let the magic idiot who can't cast a single spell enjoy it.

No one expected the devil's thoughts, so everyone made a misjudgment.

Everyone thinks that Norwalk Mountain is a place that must be saved from hell, and this is indeed the case. However, Sellon does not necessarily have to save this place that must be saved by himself.

When the imperial army and the hell army began to fight fiercely, with the help of Xu Lai's speed, advanced logistics and knight's gloves.

The army group arrived at the foot of the sacred Novak Mountain at a speed that exceeded expectations.

Even the towering snow-capped mountains of the tower have been transformed into volcanoes by hell, but Mount Novak remains as sacred as before, without any change. (End of chapter)
