Devil's Journey

Chapter 186
"What?! Impossible!!"

The commander of the northern line of defense, Marshal Maginot, looked at the magic message in disbelief. This was the last letter of the fall of Moen City, and the defender had already died in battle.

When he learned that a demon army suddenly rushed to Moen City, Marshal Maginot did not hesitate to dispatch the mobile force in his hand, and even prepared to ask the legendary mage to take action in person, sending them to Moen City as quickly as possible. The demonic army was wiped out.

But he didn't want the reinforcements to be dispatched yesterday, and he received the news of the fall of Moen City at noon today. Of course, Marshal Maginot couldn't believe it.

This also meant that not only the huge amount of materials in Moen City were lost, but also that enough materials could no longer be transferred from the rear, food, personnel, artillery shells, arrows, weapons, armor, etc. could no longer be replenished.

If Moen City cannot be recaptured as soon as possible, the 20 Verrol soldiers and [-] laborers on the northern defense line will face the plight of running out of ammunition and food.

"Block the news, I." Marshal Maginot, whose eyes were bloodshot, gritted his teeth and said, "I will personally lead the team to take Moen City back."

After reluctantly assigning tasks to the generals, Marshal Maginot did not hesitate at all, and led the [-] troops that could be dispatched at last, together with the [-] troops that had already been dispatched, a combined force of [-] went to the captured Moen City. .

On a certain commanding height of the Maginot Line in the north, a huge new type of magic light energy heavy artillery stood like a monster, and the dark thick long muzzle was intimidating.

In the control room of the heavy artillery, the war mage quickly locked the target through the light screen, and various parameters quickly flashed across the mage's mind, and then the mage sneered proudly, and activated the heavy artillery.

boom!
A dazzling beam of light spewed out from the heavy cannon of the demonic light energy, and the blazing white light instantly pierced through the space, directly smashing a demon warlord seven or eight kilometers away, and killing the demon legs around the demon warlord together.

White smoke rose from the scorching muzzle, and the spiritual energy around the entire heavy cannon was disturbed for a moment. After that, those mage apprentices who hid behind dared to run out to replace the energy of the heavy cannon and cool down the frost.

The flying demons who rushed down from the sky tried to enter the fort from the sky, but most of them were killed by the lightning spell shining on the magic tower covering the fort, and a small number of powerful demons were pierced by more powerful heat rays .

In front of the fort, various fortresses were densely arranged to block the impact of the demon army. Various alchemy cannons fired almost without a pause, and the soldiers used their lives to block the demons.

The legendary mage, who is responsible for monitoring the entire defense line and taking action to stop the enemy's demon general if necessary, also received the news of the fall of Moen City.

After being silent for a while, the gray-bearded legendary mage sighed, and then first sent the report that the northern defense line might not be able to hold on, and that most of Verrol's land might fall to the mage union, and then sent a few more important ones to the mage union. The apprentice teleports back first, and at the same time prepares his own powerful teleportation in case of a crisis.

Julian made a move, and naturally broke through the city wall quickly, and then the demons who poured in started a chaotic killing. Because they didn't bring the demon army, they didn't have time to surrender this time.

However, the street fighting in the city did not end until noon. The remaining soldiers and residents in the city staged a desperate resistance. The fire ignited many granaries, and piles of weapons and equipment were also destroyed as much as possible.

The sporadic fighting continued until night fell. The demons in the firelight enjoyed the gluttonous feast wantonly, and small-scale brawls appeared from time to time.

In the gloomy night, the hideous Skull Throne floated above Moen City. During the whole battle, all the souls that were not devoured by the demons were forcibly absorbed by the Skull Throne.

The scorching magic flame was burning behind the throne, the violent magic electricity continuously exploded around the throne, the magic power of thunder and fire surged like a tide, and the horror and evil spirit spread everywhere.

The demon Julian sat lazily on the throne of the skull, with his elbows pressed against the armrest, and the side of his face resting on the back of his hands. Red and blue magic lights shone in his half-opened and half-closed pupils.

"Killing. The soul of death is really sweet and drunk." Julian held a glass of strange wine in his other hand, and there seemed to be countless resentments and hatred in the wine.

Another day later, an army of [-] Verrol rushed to the north of Moen City. Marshal Maginot stared seriously at the city in the distance where the black smoke was still unburned.

The villages, towns and villages on the outskirts of the city have long been emptied, scattered demons are wandering around, and there are not many broken corpses. Because the main target of the demon army is the city, most of the population outside the city fled in time, leaving only a few stubborn people. People who refused to leave were massacred.

If this demon cannot be eradicated and the opponent is allowed to wreak havoc behind the defense line, failure will be doomed. Only by quickly eliminating this demon can the battle be stabilized and the parliament behind to rectify the mess.

Marshal Maginot tore up the flying news that had just been conveyed from the rear in his hand. After the parliament learned the news that this demon army was not trustworthy, it had already broken the deal with the demon, and asked him not to fight in the wild, and to fight as much as possible. Bring the army back to the Golden City.

With a wry smile, Marshal Maginot felt that the council was giving orders indiscriminately. How could the demons retreat before and after, and who could stay behind? Under the constant attack of the demon army on the return journey, the army could really march for hundreds of kilometers not crash?

I'm afraid that as soon as the news spreads, the [-] Virol army will disintegrate immediately. The fleeing officers and soldiers will be chased and killed by the demons.

At this time, all Marshal Maginot could do was to fight hard, to gamble desperately, if he won, there was still a possibility of recovery, and if he failed, he had tried his best.

Fortunately, the demons did not choose to occupy the city and wait for time. Well, I have never heard of the demons defending the city. Nearly ten thousand demons squeezed out of the city gate in chaos and noise. own excitement.

Under the leadership of Meyer, the demons whistling in the air rushed to those Pegasus knights first, and the Pegasus knights who had just lifted off did not hesitate. Under the leadership of the general, they bravely rushed towards those ferocious demons.

The Pegasus knights spread out widely. After all, the air is more unsuitable for a dense formation than the ground. The knights in the front row stood beside them with slender lances and held bursting firecrackers in their hands. They silently counted the distance, and their eyes with goggles He stared at the demons on the opposite side.

Bang~bang~bang~
The continuous sound of the guns rang together, and ten rounds in a row were fired in an instant, and then the knights did not look at the results of the battle, and let go of the guns directly. The guns tied to the straps did not fall, but slid down the waists of the knights.

He stretched out his hand to set up the air cavalry spear standing beside him, and the buckle unlocked automatically. The specially made spear was more than six meters long but very light. The cost was not cheap, but these knights were even more expensive.

The Pegasus neighed, and under the urging of its master, it flew towards the demons that frightened them. The sharp tapered spear blade shone dazzlingly under the light.
