The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 685: Attacking a City with a City
Tren probably never thought that his teleportation spell, which always worked, would fail.
In fact, his teleportation spell was successful, otherwise he would not have suddenly disappeared just now.
But even though his teleportation spell was successful, some people were unwilling to let him escape back.
The defense of Kerrigan's base camp is naturally not simple. In addition to the strengthened city defense, it also has a special magic circle that reduces the damage of siege weapons.
Originally, this was nothing. Reducing the damage of siege weapons was basically a panacea and could be used in most situations.
Even if Xu Lai wanted to attack the city, he would definitely use siege weapons to bombard it first.
It was only when Mendis brought back the news about the extremely terrifying forbidden spell in Little Gray Castle.
Briston temporarily added a magic circle based on the original magic circle.
The name of the magic circle is Mirror Image.
The function of the mirror image is very simple. It can transfer a designated spell each time it is activated, but it takes a very long time to cool down afterwards.
No matter how powerful the magic circle is, it cannot reduce damage 100%.
Considering the horrific damage caused by the forbidden spell, what difference would it make if the 10% was reduced? It would just mean living a little longer.
The best way is to prevent the forbidden spell from hanging over your head.
Of course, it is impossible for a mirror image to transfer all spells, especially forbidden spells which have extremely terrifying energies.
But as long as we can divert a part of it and leave a corner for the city to breathe, it will be enough.
As long as there is a corner in the city that is not covered by the forbidden spell, the demons can hide in this corner and hold out until the forbidden spell ends.
Anyway, the forbidden spell ignores friend or foe, and humans dare not approach while it lasts.
They can hide in the city, and once the forbidden spell ends, they can immediately reoccupy the city.
Tren knew that Briston had set up a new defensive array, and even some key materials were allocated by Kerrigan.
Teren also clearly understood the effect of the mirror array.
There was only one thing that Tren did not expect, that was that his own people on the city wall would attack him.
Every time the mirror array is activated, it means huge energy consumption and a long cooling time.
Therefore, the key to activate the magic circle is only in the hands of the most core and key people in the city.
If this person was Mendis, perhaps Tren would be more careful.
But this man is Patton, his master, and the most trusted subordinate of the Lord of Hell.
Otherwise, Kerrigan would not have handed over his base to Patton. In terms of equipment and level, Montesquieu is superior to Patton.
As Kerrigan's confidant, Tren never expected that Barton would harm him, especially at such a critical moment.
However, Mendis on the city wall smiled contemptuously.
This Tren is really stupid. Apart from his slightly higher combat ability, which makes him no match for him in a one-on-one fight, he has no idea of his own situation.
Although Tren, like Patton, is Kerrigan's confidant.
But precisely because of this, as long as Tren is still there, Patton can only rank second. Even if Patton is a hero, this is called being unworthy of the position.
Secondly, Tren came with a thousand great demons. These thousand great demons would be a huge force in the hands of any hero.
Only in Teren's hands, at most, there are a group of 6th and 7th level warriors.
This has been proven by the fact that the human infantry of levels 6 and 7 were able to defeat this group of big demons.
What role can a thousand level 6 warriors play in this situation?
If Tren was willing to bow his head and temporarily join Patton's army, with Kerrigan's order, Patton would probably not force him to transfer.
It’s Teren’s own fault. He has always been arrogant and looks down on other demons.
Of course, this is also because Tren himself is too powerful. Even if you look throughout the entire hell, it is difficult to find someone who can defeat Tren in a one-on-one fight.
Tren was fighting one against two, one was an archangel who was promoted to general, and the other was the strongest human hero, but he was still able to hold out for a few rounds.
This shows how strong Tren's personal ability is.
Patton did not have the ability to defeat the opponent by force, and he coveted the thousand demons under Tren's command.
The key point is that Tren committed suicide by teleporting himself out of the city, giving Patton the opportunity to do something.
The presence of so many demons could prove to Patton that it was Tren who left the city on his own and died at the hands of humans.
Even if Kerrigan investigated and divined, he could only get this result because it was the fact.
Although Patton used the mirror spell to deflect Tren's teleportation, the mirror spell has no ability to cause damage.
Every bit of life value in Tren's body was lost at the hands of humans, but Patton didn't get a single drop of it.
This result was so surprising that not only Teren but even Xu Lai was surprised.
The damage of the Blazing Judgment Sword was extremely terrible, but Teren, who was stabbed in the chest, still did not die.
Not only did he not die, he also drank a bottle of dark purple potion.
Xu Lai didn't know what effect the potion had, he only knew that the demon had visibly recovered.
But just as Tren stood up and wanted to fight back, Xu Lai reacted and hit Tren on the back of the head with a shield.
Xu Lai's strength is not low in itself, and with the blessing of the statue of the God of War, it is even higher than that of Terun.
Shield Strike is a derivative skill of the basic skill of using a shield, and its damage is not high.
The key is that this skill is a rare hard control skill with long-term control.
Once you are hit on the head by the shield, you will be dizzy for at least 1 second. If the skill level is high enough and the power gap is big enough, it is normal to be dizzy for three or four seconds.
Xu Lai's shield hit him, directly shattering Tren's last hope of escape.
What Teren took was a bottle of extremely precious comprehensive recovery potion.
As the name suggests, this potion can fully restore the user's health, mana, stamina, etc.
With Tren's health points, just a bottle of super life potion that can restore all life is worth a lot of money, let alone this comprehensive recovery potion.
That is to say, Tren’s status and position are just here. If it were someone else, they would not be able to enjoy things of this level at all.
But although Tren's condition had fully recovered, he was in a dizzy state and could not do anything.
He could only watch the angel stabbing his body with sword after sword, and finally, with unwillingness and fear, he watched his head and body move further and further away.
After beheading Hellboy Tron, the morale of the demon army dropped sharply, especially the more than one hundred big demons that came out, who instantly lost their fighting spirit.
A few who were quick to seize the opportunity managed to escape, but most were killed on the spot by the vanguard with the support of the angels who arrived.
The demon heroes on the city wall were not at all surprised by this scene.
Patton, the hero defending the city who had been motionless, suddenly waved his hand, and suddenly rows of crossbow arrows and fireballs shot towards Xu Lai and his men.
Xu Lai frowned and gave up the idea of continuing to hunt down the devil.
This trip was already an unexpected harvest. There was really no need to continue to struggle with these demons.
As soon as he saw Xu Lai and the others walking away, Mendis walked up to Patton with a smile and said, "General Patton, it's a waste for these big demons to be left without a leader. Why don't I take some people with me to guard the gate to the abyss to prevent it from being destroyed by humans?"
Barton sneered and said, "Once we have solved the problem here, His Majesty Kerrigan will definitely take these big demons back."
Mendis chuckled and said, "That has nothing to do with me. I just took what I was supposed to take.
Or does General Patton think that what he did was perfect and that others are fools who can't see it at all?"
Indeed, the big devil's teleportation is instantaneous. When Teren activated the teleportation just now, even Xu Lai and the others didn't have time to react.
Only Patton, who had been watching the battle on the city wall, guessed Tren's thoughts in advance and made preparations in advance to take such a gamble.
After all, it was an instant teleportation, and Patton himself was not really sure.
But if it fails anyway, it will only result in a loss of some energy and cooling time.
It is impossible for humans to cast forbidden spells now, so even if his little trick fails, it will never be discovered.
However, the moment when Tren disappeared and came back, he was actually noticed by Mendis.
"One hundred great demons. I will find a way to make them "die in battle."
Mendis chuckled and said, "Do you want me to lead those demon captains to see the magic formation?"
"At most 200, and I can only give you the recruited big demons. I'll give you the rest. Can you take them?"
Mendis thought about it and realized that the great demons were still very loyal to Kerrigan.
Even if he managed to get more of them, there was no way to stop them from returning to serve Cregan afterwards, unless they were really "killed in battle."
"Okay, 200 is 200."
200 big demons just opened their mouths and asked for it. Mendis was about to leave when he heard Barton say:
"I have given you 200 great demons, and you must also fulfill your obligations."
"What do you mean?"
“His Majesty Kerrigan sent you here to stop Xu Lai.
But as far as I know, not only did you lose the battle to him, but you also caused the death of Ferris and his men.
If even Briston falls, do you think you can return to hell alive even if you get those 200 great demons?"
Mendis's expression changed for a while, but in the end he said nothing.
“I know you have other backers in hell, maybe His Majesty Kerrigan won’t kill you.
But once the gate to the abyss is closed, it will be impossible for you to return to hell alive, and even your soul may not be able to float down."
Patton still looked calm, but what he said frightened Mendis.
"I understand. Don't worry. If humans really attack the city, I will help."
Mendis only agreed to help, but he didn't say he would do his utmost. At worst, he would have to pay back the 200 demons he earned.
Anyway, if Briston really couldn't hold on, the worst that could happen to him was to run down through the Gate of the Abyss first.
Even if I have to be hunted down by Kerrigan in the future, that is a matter for the future.
Xu Lai had never seen Teren, so he didn't know how important a demon in the Hell camp he had killed was.
He only knew that although this demon was powerful, its attributes were a bit too poor. It was even inferior to the ordinary big demons he had dealt with before.
However, although Xu Lai did not recognize this demon, Eric and the others knew it.
After killing Tren, the morale of the human coalition forces soared, sweeping away the dejected atmosphere of last night.
However, if they want to launch a proper siege, they still have to wait for the Qingfeng Legion and the logistics troops to arrive.
Eric only brought some of the fast warriors with him, and the slow troops still had to stay with the Qingfeng Legion.
When Lena led the Qingfeng Legion to arrive, it was already night and no longer suitable for attacking the city.
During the day, Xu Lai went to see it in person.
Briston is less than half the height of Graycastle, but in terms of grandeur, Graycastle is far inferior to Briston.
There is no other reason, just one: Briston is really big.
In Xu Lai's impression, only Emerald City was slightly larger than Bristone, and even his Qingfeng City was inferior to it.
Big means that with Xu Lai’s existing troops, he cannot carry out siege operations.
As the saying goes, if there are ten, surround them; if there are five, attack them.
With Xu Lai's infantry and cavalry together, plus the Naga reinforcements, they barely had a force of 20.
Even if the logistics troops are included, it is still not enough.
Not to mention the demons that are ten times more powerful than Briston, it would be good enough if the demons in Briston were not ten times more powerful than Xu Lai.
But even so, the demons of Briston still did not dare to leave the city to fight.
The more than one hundred big demons that came out during the day couldn't even defeat enemies that were far less in number and lower in level than themselves.
The remaining ones of lower levels have even less interest in leaving the city to seek death.
It’s better that the demons don’t come out. Although Xu Lai and his team have been traveling all day, they still can’t get a good rest at night.
Now that I'm here, it's impossible not to fire a few shots and give it a try.
Therefore, Xu Lai organized people to assemble the advanced catapults that had just been removed from the top of Qingfeng City overnight.
It’s a pity that those incendiary bombs cannot be used because the demons in hell are not susceptible to fire damage.
When the sky brightened again, the demons on the city wall were horrified to find that hundreds of advanced catapults had been erected in the human positions outside the city.
Briston is big, and it does have enough defensive demons.
But so what? As the saying goes, a long defense will lead to a loss. The demons in the city did not have the slightest initiative. The initiative was completely on Xu Lai's side.
The main attacker was still Lena. With the bonus of her ballistics, the range of the advanced catapults that Xu Lai dismantled from Qingfeng City was almost the same as that of the enemy.
Even those on the city walls have a certain range advantage thanks to the walls.
But compared to Graycastle, the biggest problem of Briston is that there are too many troops that can be deployed outside the city.
Hundreds of advanced catapults were deployed under the cover of night, and their number definitely far exceeded those deployed by the demons on the city walls.
The catapults stationed behind the city walls do not have the advantage of the city walls, and their range does not even reach the standard of the Qingfeng City catapults.
Xu Lai used the advantage of being more numerous against a smaller number, and even if he suffered some losses, he was determined to smash the dozens of catapults on the city wall.
Once the catapults on the enemy's city wall are destroyed, Xu Lai can bombard the enemy's city wall indiscriminately.
Without the city walls, our own infantry will be able to invade on a large scale, and what will be tested at that time is the hard power of both sides.
Xu Lai, who possesses the warehouse ring, is not attacking the city alone, but is attacking the city with an entire city. (End of this chapter)
