The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 681 Conquering Graycastle

On the city wall, the Hell Evil God had just lifted up a little bit of his mouth after dispelling the fire-controlling magic on the human troops.

With a few loud bangs, the evil god of hell was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling off the city wall.

"what happened?"

The evil god of hell roared.

However, no one paid any attention to him at this moment. They were all shaken to the ground by the sudden vibration.

This is still good luck. If you are unlucky, you will fall directly from the city like a collapsed city wall.

Winged demons and flying fire elves are better off, as they can still fly instinctively even if something unexpected happens.

But most of the creatures on the city wall are fire trolls, fire demons and the like that cannot fly.

These demons would be knocked unconscious by just this one fall, and those with lighter skin might even be killed on the spot.

Even if you don't die from the fall, if you are unlucky, you will be buried by the rubble of the collapsed city wall.

No matter how lucky you are, you will still be dizzy for a few seconds.

These few seconds were enough for the infantry who arrived at the camp first to rush up and kill several times.

Perhaps it was because the walls of Graycastle were too thick and tall.

The advanced Earthquake spell clearly said that 2-3 sections of the wall would collapse, but in the end only a small section collapsed.

Moreover, this small section of the city wall is neither in the valley nor where the Qingfeng Legion is rushing.

If it collapsed at the location of the Qingfeng Legion, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Qingfeng Legion soldiers would all rush in.

Even if only the front row of infantry rushed in, with the continuous support from the rear, this castle would be captured today.

If you appear on the side of the Vanguard Camp, there is certainly a chance. In fact, in the early stage, because the soldiers of the Vanguard Camp have better equipment, their performance may be even more outstanding.

But the key is that they can't last long. Behind the first camp, there are only Naga Guards and Phantom Archers.

Xu Lai would definitely not let the Phantom Archers charge, and the Nagas are his allies.

It's okay to help fight favorable battles, but we can't always give them such hard bones to chew.

But it doesn’t matter, Earthquake can be used once or only.

The scale of this war was huge, but the number of soldiers who actually entered the battlefield was very limited. Most of the soldiers could only squeeze in the rear and do nothing.

Therefore, the cooling time of strategic spells will most likely not be too long, and the second round can definitely be released in about 40 minutes.

However, the demons at that time must have been prepared, at least they would not get too close to the outer city wall and fall down with it.

Graycastle was indeed a high-level military fortress. What collapsed due to Xu Lai's attack was only the outer wall of Graycastle.

About ten meters away from the outer wall, there is an inner wall, with a hollow layer in the middle that surrounds the entire Graycastle.

However, compared with the outer wall, the inner city wall is much weaker. It is so thin that it is just a wall that can barely support a few people.

If there were human archers standing on the inner city wall, the concentrated shooting would be quite terrifying.

What stood there now was a circle of fire demons.

Although the flames thrown by the fire demon can explode, their number is much smaller after all.

If it were a human crossbowman equipped with the most advanced repeating crossbow, the dense rain of arrows would not even give people a chance to breathe.

In this way, at least the warriors who reach the camp first will not be killed instantly.

The defending warriors held up their shields to protect the thin but agile assassins and thieves, who quickly went around behind the gate.

The fault here is the negligence of the Hell Evil God himself. He had originally prepared a group of elite troops between the two walls.

It was those long-horned generals who rushed out of the city and blocked the battering ram's way.

These long-horned commanders were all wearing heavy armor and wielding long whips for medium range.

Even if the gate or a section of the city wall is breached, with their toughness, they can still serve as a human wall and hold up the city for a long time.

But unfortunately, in order to stop Xu Lai's battering ram, the evil god of hell released this elite force.

Of course, it was right to block the battering ram. Otherwise, after the outer gate was broken by the battering ram, the inner gate, which was far less solid than the outer gate, would be easier to break through.

The only negligence of the Hell Evil God was that after sending out this elite force, he did not send in another troop.

Even if he just released a group of jumping monsters over to harass the vanguard infantry for a while, the fire demons in the inner city might be able to clean up these soldiers rushing in.

Although these infantrymen no longer have the magic of fire control, they still have the effects of anti-magic cloaks and ultimate resistance.

In addition, the warriors have high enough physique and are blessed by the statue of the God of War, so the fireballs hitting them may not even cause half the damage.

Moreover, the durability of their shields is high enough that just one shield can support them for several more rounds of attacks.

With the blessing of the sacred blood bottle, relying on his strong physique, he can hold on for at least a dozen rounds after filling up the blood bottle.

This is enough time for the agile thieves to slide down the valley, sneak behind the door and open it.

After the gate was opened, the Longhorn Warlords were caught in a situation where they were attacked from all sides.

On the one hand, they have to withstand attacks from enemies in front, and on the other hand, they have to withstand sneak attacks from assassins behind.

The most hated opponents of assassins are warriors wearing heavy helmets and armors, with high defense and thick blood. After using a set of skills, they may only get a few scratches.

These long-horned warlords are such opponents.

However, what assassins like most is the enemy who has his back to them.

Because it means that sneak attacks, sap attacks, and all skills can achieve double or even triple the effect.

By the time the evil god of hell came to his senses, the scene was already in chaos.

The only remedial measure he could take was to arrange more people to stand by behind the inner city gate.

He had a premonition that these two city gates would not be able to hold out for long and would inevitably be breached by humans.

The soldiers who first entered the camp, after covering the assassins in opening the city gate, set up long ladders and began to climb from the gap in the outer city.

In the inner city, without the protection of the phantom archer's arrows, one still has to endure the fireball attacks from the enemies in the inner city.

Fortunately, there are not many enemies in the inner city. Even if the gap in the outer city is not big and too many ladders cannot be set up, people can still climb up the city slowly.

In addition to climbing towards the inner city through the gap, the Qingfeng Legion had already arrived at the foot of the city wall, set up ladders, and climbed the outer city wall.

It’s a pity that the defensive skill seems to be relatively weak when facing magical attacks.

If there is a hero with special resistance and he wears anti-magic equipment, Xu Lai's chances of winning against the hell demon who is good at fire will increase a lot.

A faint blue light appeared on the high-standing Neptune flag.

Xu Lai would rather give up the bonus brought by his defensive specialty and separate the two troops, just to be able to cast more spells at this moment.

The heroes of hell had to be stationed in various places and many of them sacrificed their lives in various wars.

The number of Hell heroes who died at Xu Lai's hands alone exceeded one hand, and they were really stretched to the limit. Kerrigan was in Graycastle and could not afford to deploy multiple heroes, so the Hell Evil God could only bite the bullet and accept the punishment of the spell.

Reina is not good at earth magic, nor can she shake the earth, but she has the blessing of the Sea King's Flag, so after several upgrades, she has upgraded her water magic to the ultimate.

Water magic is not known for its killing power, but its effect on demons is still very obvious.

The evil god of hell was ready to bear heavy losses, and quietly dispersed the fire demons on the city wall, and gathered together the fire trolls, lava trolls and other demons.

But what the Hell Evil God was waiting for was not a water-based killing spell such as a blizzard, an ice ring, or a tsunami, but a small water-based auxiliary spell.

Instant teleportation, with the ultimate water magic effect and the blessing of the Poseidon Flag.

The ultimate water magic blessing can allow the target to move instantly, pass through obstacles on the battlefield, through moats, and even through city walls.

However, the towering city walls completely blocked Lena's view.

Unless Reina is carrying a lookout vehicle and is able to look down from a high vantage point, teleportation will be restricted in places beyond her field of vision.

Although it is impossible to directly deploy troops to the inner city, it is enough to deploy them directly to the city wall.

Although her spirit value is not as good as Xu Lai's, with the blessing of the statue of the God of War, it should not be underestimated.

Besides, the Poseidon Flag enhanced water spells by 25%, allowing her to send nearly 3000 top-level infantrymen in one go.

Reina had already planned these 3000 infantrymen, including 1000 captains of the royal guards and 800 golden-armored warriors wielding long-handled axes.

Although the axe used by the golden-armored warriors is not longer than the spear of the spearman, it has the function of chopping in addition to stabbing.

Of course, what’s more important is that they are wearing golden armor, which greatly enhances their defense and magic resistance.

Gold is a soft metal, and adding gold to armor does not increase the physical defense capability much compared to the heavy armor of a heavy spearman.

But after adding gold, not only do these golden-armored warriors shine brightly, they also automatically gain 25% magic resistance.

To be honest, when facing demons, especially fire demons and fire trolls that can throw fireballs, these golden-armored warriors are tougher than the captain guard.

The captain of the royal guards just has an extra, stronger shield. If the durability of this shield is used up, he will definitely not be able to defeat the golden-armored warrior.

The other two armies consisted of 700 sword masters and more than 200 berserkers who were not wearing any armor or only wore cloth to cover their private parts.

These berserkers were either holding giant swords or axes, and their attack power was terrifying.

Let them rush into the crowd and release a whirlwind skill, and no matter how many level 7 soldiers are surrounding them, they will be blown into pieces.

Of course, with almost no defense, it would be difficult for them to survive.

At this time, the Berserkers were protected in the innermost layer.

Generally speaking, although the Berserker profession has high output, its death rate is also terrifying.

The reason why Reina was able to save so much was because of her defensive expertise and the support of the Angel Legion.

Unless it was a particularly important occasion, she was reluctant to send these berserkers out.

This time, I threw it out for a crucial blow, hoping to capture the thief and the leader.

Although Reina hopes to settle the matter in one fell swoop, the evil god of hell will not fail to make preparations.

He already knew about the angel army around Xu Lai, which was able to easily defeat the demon army of the same number.

If I don't take any precautions and get taken down by a surprise attack from those Seraphim, wouldn't that be a waste of my life?

Most demons are afraid of death. The more immortal they are, the more afraid they are of death, because as long as they don't seek death, they can normally live for a thousand years.

The one giving the command on the city wall was just a stand-in, being commanded remotely.

But although this group of top infantrymen failed to kill the demon hero, they did sweep across the city wall.

Only the guards beside the demon stand-in caused some trouble to this elite team.

Being both at level 7, the evil god’s attack range is not lower than that of the golden armored warrior.

But apart from these evil gods, the fire demons and fire trolls on the city walls would have their attack power halved once someone got close to them, and they would become completely harmless.

With the cover of these elite infantry, there was no longer any obstacle to climbing the city wall.

In the end, not only the infantrymen who were the first to enter the camp climbed up, but even Giselle, disregarding Xu Lai's orders, jumped onto the city wall with hundreds of phantom archers.

The only one who had not made any progress was Xu Lai, who was at the bottom of the valley.

Those horned generals wearing heavy armor were too fleshy.

It’s not like Xu Lai hasn’t fought against demons before, but the demons he encountered before didn’t have such sophisticated equipment.

But those in front of him were all wearing heavy armor, and even with the blessing of god-level offensive skills, the speed of attack was still slow.

The demon's body has inherent advantages over humans, and with the help of human craftsmen, even the advantage of its equipment is gradually being lost.

Fortunately, demons are only good at enslavement and not at ruling. Otherwise, if they hadn’t killed and destroyed people wantonly, they might have really occupied a place in this world.

Xu Lai was forced into a desperate situation. He raised the Prophet's Sword, spread the holy light of prayer, and rushed to the front himself.

He had Roland's protection and a full set of divine weapons at his side. As the number of demons he killed increased, the effects of the Triumphal Skirt and the Hand of Fate became better and better.

Later on, Xu Lai could kill even the heavily armored Long-Horned Marshal with one sword.

Even the king Xu Lai had already charged to the front, and the morale that had been lost due to the death of a large number of soldiers was restored to its full strength.

The human warriors, whose morale was restored to full value, regained the morale bonus and fought more bravely under the cover of the prayer light.

This sacred light only lasted for less than 20 minutes before being dispelled.

But then one fiery red shield after another reappeared, and the casualties were instantly reduced to almost zero.

Under the cover of a large group of fire elves, the true body of the Hell God wants to escape from this fortress that is about to collapse at any time.

The escape of the evil god of hell completely crushed the last bit of morale of the demons, and the outer city and the inner city fell into Xu Lai's hands one after another.

But the Hell Evil God did not run too far. Before he could run even a kilometer, an invisible wall blocked him and the group of fire elves.

Xu Lai, who was determined to take down Graycastle, would never not bear the shackles of war.

The angel army, which had never appeared on the battlefield, finally arrived again.

With the magic of fire control to protect him, even an archangel can charge forward without hesitation.

A battle that started in the morning and ended at sunset.

Even at this time, the battle was not over because there was still sporadic resistance in the city.

But the good news is that Graycastle was taken down, and under the control of the war shackles, no demon could escape.

Even a succubus that can transform into a human form can only hide in this city for a while, and it is impossible for it to escape.

And Xu Lai’s record has added the head of a new demon hero.

But as to the next step, whether to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Kerrigan's base camp, Xu Lai was in a state of hesitation. (End of this chapter)
