The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

With the support of Kerrigan and the leadership of Patton, who was gifted with the Lava Trolls, the range of the Lava Trolls was increased to about 400 meters.

This distance is certainly not as good as that of human archers who have the advantage of city walls.

But if a real shootout breaks out, humans will definitely be at a disadvantage even with the advantage of city walls.

There is no way. Even if human archers have the ability to shoot multiple arrows, they still need more physical strength and sufficient time to prepare.

What's more, even the most advanced sky archer in the human race, with the top-level archery skill of Nine Star Chain, can only shoot 9 arrows at a time.

However, the lava troll's fireball is not only huge in size but also explosive.

There are so many people on the city wall that once such a huge fireball explodes, it will at least affect a dozen nearby units.

If infantry happens to pass by, one fireball can definitely cover dozens of units.

In terms of range and shooting speed, the fireball is far from comparable to the shooter.

However, the shooter's attack is physical and will be reduced by the ultimate defense.

The fireball is a spell attack and can be affected by ultimate resistance at most, but the effect of resistance is much worse than that of defense.

In addition, if we only talk about basic damage, the fireball with a slower attack speed will have higher damage.

Barton, the leader of the Fire Demons, was tall and conspicuous, and his own magical fire-controlling spells would have no chance of being retained.

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Reina keenly sensed the unit that posed the greatest threat to her side.

She already has the ultimate defense to protect her body, as well as the Angel Alliance suit, the Statue of the God of War, and the Holy Blood Bottle. She even has god-level offensive skills.

With these effects, even if Kerrigan had some advanced artifacts, he would not be able to defeat a mere 4th-level horned demon even if he was an archer of the same level.

Therefore, Lena decisively mobilized all the phantom archers, as well as hundreds of crossbow carts of different levels on the city walls.

The damage of the ballista, especially its shield-breaking ability, is much stronger than that of the phantom archer.

Both Kerrigan and Patton were obviously reluctant to see their main forces suffer casualties.

In Kerrigan's mind, these lava trolls are comparable to a legion of demons.

The Long-Horned Warlords are cannon fodder that can be manufactured in large quantities, and no one will feel sorry for them no matter how many of them die.

The lava troll's sides and front were filled with these horned demons, numbering at least hundreds of thousands.

These are just the ones responsible for cover. They do not include the group in front who are covering the Evil King, nor do they include those behind the lava trolls who are planning to climb the city wall.

I don’t know how much firepower will be needed just to defeat these horned demons.

Of course, human shooters have the height advantage after all. Except for the part closest to the lava demon, more meat shields cannot actually protect the lava troll well.

Under Reina's command, all the archers tried their best to ignore the horned demons in front of them and instead attacked the lava trolls and fire trolls behind them.

From time to time, a ray of light flashed on the trolls' bodies.

When this ray of light comes on, except for the phantom arrows that are sure to hit, most of the other arrows will miss and be dodged directly.

Lena was also very familiar with the effect of this treasure, it was called the Dodge Necklace.

The effect is that all your troops, including yourself, will gain 2 seconds of dodge time every minute.

During this period, the basic dodge value of yourself and your troops will increase by 100 points, and you can dodge all damage except magic.

Using one minute of energy storage to exchange for two seconds of dodging may not seem cost-effective, but what if the dodging is for the entire army?

The more troops you have under your command, the more precious these two seconds of dodge time are.

100 points of basic dodge, plus the player's own dodge, and the dodge effect stacked by other treasure equipment.

Even if a human shooter has skills that increase the hit rate, there is a high probability that he will not be able to hit the target.

Except for the 8th-level Phantom Archer who has the ability to hit the target, even the Sky Archer can only hit the target one-tenth of the time in these two seconds.

Sky Shooter also has a skill that guarantees a hit, but it requires aiming one second in advance.

Patton had just obtained such a precious ultimate treasure from Kerrigan.

Before this, Lena, Xu Lai and others were not aware of it.

Fortunately, this necklace is worn around Barton's neck and is only effective against the lava trolls led by him.

Kerrigan also has a powerful artifact that reduces ranged damage of any kind, including spells, by 25%.

With 2 seconds of dodging, most of the damage from a wave of arrows was avoided.

However, under Reina's command, the defensive force on the city wall presented a wave-like, continuous attack.

A wave of damage immunity is not a problem.

"Give the order to all magic archers to prepare earth-based slow arrows and water-based freezing arrows."

The range and number of magic archers are inferior to those of sky archers.

At this time, the only targets they could attack within their range were the Horned Demon Warlords.

Under the effects of their slow arrows and freezing arrows, the Horned Demon Warlord who was rushing in the front was either frozen or slowed down, or frozen after being slowed down.

The damage of these spell arrows is not high, far less than that of fire arrows and lightning arrows.

But their role is far greater than outputting arrows.

These Horned Demon Warlords were the front-line warriors, and in order to minimize casualties, Kerrigan laid them thickly and fully.

The not-so-wide open space in front of Graycastle was completely blocked by these guys.

As soon as Lena released her slow arrows and freezing arrows, the speed of these horned demons immediately dropped by almost half.

Slowness is reduced by 25%, and freezing will freeze the person completely, and even after thawing, there is still a 5% slowing effect.

The entire vanguard was almost in a state of being unable to move for a short period of time.

They can't move, and the other units behind them can't move either. They can only wait where they are and serve as targets for human shooters.

Not only that, after confirming that Kerrigan had deployed a large force, Xu Lai no longer hid it.

When he was dealing with Mendis before, he summoned three water unicorns.

This time, against Kerrigan, it is a real life-and-death battle, there is no room for him to be stingy.

Xu Lai summoned ten water unicorns in one breath.

If he didn't want to keep some just in case and be wary of Kerrigan's backup plan, he might have wanted to summon all the water qilins at once.

No matter how powerful the Water Qilin is, or how gifted the Ice Storm is, their numbers are there after all, and it is difficult to pose a big deterrent.

However, the Water Qilin also has a skill with a very wide coverage, Trace of Clouds and Mist.

The ten water unicorns ran together in the sky. In less than ten minutes, the traces of mist they spread were enough to cover all the evil kings and horned demon generals.

The water qilins did not cover the rear either, but only spread the traces of cloud and mist in the area one kilometer in front of Graycastle.

At this distance, it is extremely difficult for all the horned demon generals and evil god kings to take a single step.

Under the multiple slowing effects, these horned demon warlords could hardly move.

Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, and after half a day, he only walked a dozen steps.

The trolls and the evil king behind him angrily scolded each other, but no matter how angry they were, they could not change the situation on the battlefield.

No one can fly over this section of road where you can only take a beating but not fight back.

Layer upon layer of debuffs caused the demons to suffer huge casualties with every step they took. However, the demons had no intention of retreating.

Anyway, with the suppression elves around, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it will have no impact on morale.

And human shooters also need to replenish their ammunition and strength eventually.

The four turrets behind the city wall also roared. Two of the high-level magic cannons that Xu Lai specially ordered had been completed and were replaced overnight.

The turret is a city defense attack and is not affected by the halving effect of the tower shield damage. Its power is stronger than the phantom heavy arrow of the phantom archer.

Although only four cannons began to show their power, these four were shotguns, and each one could kill a large number of demons.

On the battlefield, the corpses of demons kept falling, and the pile had accumulated to several meters high.

Sometimes, the soldiers in the rear had to deal with the corpse of the horned demon so that they could rush forward.

After the lava trolls and fire trolls took their positions, they finally launched a counterattack against the human city walls.

The fire control magic that Lena used twice in a row did not help them cover up much damage, because it was quickly dispelled by Barton.

Many evil kings died on the way, but under the cover of a large number of horned demon generals, half of them finally entered the designated range.

Hundreds of horned demons appear on the city wall every second.

Although these horned demons could be quickly cleared out by the Crusaders, their existence seriously interfered with the shooters' output.

Only one third of the lava trolls that were hit hard are left.

The fire troll's health was even lower, and half of it had already been lost.

Before the battle even started, more than half of the enemy's combat effectiveness had been wiped out. If it were other troops, they would have been too weak to fight again.

But after the death of these lava trolls and fire trolls, they split into small fire demons.

The number has increased instead of decreased. Despite being targeted, the number has actually increased by nearly one-third against the trend.

Unfortunately, although the number barely increased by one third, the attack power decreased a lot.

Even with Krieg's god-level fire magic to weaken fire resistance, the damage caused is still within the range that humans can bear.

Seeing that she couldn't stop the lava trolls from approaching, Lena called in the priest team early.

Rely on the priest's group healing and recovery abilities to fight against the demons.

The demons have explosive area damage, and humans also have ballistae, turrets, and hundreds of catapults that gradually turn their firepower.

Even divine-level fire magic cannot offset the huge impact of the city wall.

After the damage of the city wall is reduced, the priests who have been amplified by the Poseidon Flag can also firmly hold the lives of the archers.

At the very least, even if there are some sacrifices, they can be understood and accepted.

Xu Lai and Tahan each went back once, but they successfully brought back many archangels.

The current angel legion has nearly 500 people, and with Elvy's blessing, many lives can be resurrected.

Moreover, in terms of casualties, demons suffer far more than humans.

The shooters on both sides can still fight back and forth and consume each other's energy.

But the demon's infantry, those horned demons, basically died in vain.

The walls of Graycastle that were manually rebuilt on the original foundation are not so easy to climb.

Even if they managed to climb onto the city wall by chance, the captain of the guards, the golden-armored warriors, and the crusaders still possessed terrifying killing power.

Under the god-level offensive skills, these human warriors, who are at least level 6, can cause massive damage.

On the other hand, the demons have horned demons, which are good at defense and are meat shields, and their damage is not high.

Humans also have the added bonus of defensive skills, which are more powerful than god-level defensive skills and can reduce more damage.

Human warriors and priests can also heal the wounds at the same time. It is impossible for a group healing spell to only heal the archers and not the infantry.

Although the infantrymen were unable to defeat the enemy, they had the advantage in numbers. They were able to raise hundreds of thousands of horned demons from the corpses of millions of little demons.

There are only so many human infantrymen, and they need to take turns to rest and wait for their physical strength and even their lives to recover naturally.

If this continues, it's hard to predict what the final outcome will be.

However, the battle in the sky was one-sided.

Originally, it was entangled by a large number of imps and winged demons, and a few fire elves summoned by the Gate of Hell.

The royal griffins could barely defend the sky above the city walls.

But with the addition of the ten water unicorns, the situation was reversed in an instant.

The speed at which the abyss demons summon fire spirits is far slower than the speed at which the water unicorns destroy the fire spirits.

Besides, Xu Lai has already summoned the Water Qilin, so there is no need for Lena to hide anything.

A dozen golden dragons summoned by the Dragon Heart also flew into the sky and joined the battle.

The Royal Griffin has extremely strong combat capabilities, but monsters can only be killed one by one.

With the help of the water unicorn's hail storm, the speed was slightly increased.

Otherwise, the remaining hundreds of thousands of little demons will have to be killed by the Winged Demons, and each of these thousands of Royal Griffins will have to kill more than a hundred times the number of enemies.

After the golden dragon joins in, one breath can burn dozens to hundreds of them to death.

The sudden appearance of the Water Qilin and the Golden Dragon finally made Kerrigan, who had been ready to take action, think about taking action himself.

However, after looking at the sky, he decided to wait a little longer.

Three hours later, it was pitch dark. In order not to waste the chance to revive, the angels gathered more than a thousand shooters before 12 o'clock.

It was at this time that the subterranean demon, which had been silent, suddenly moved.

Although Xu Lai was well prepared, he even personally led the Knight Guards to ambush these crypt demons.

He and Roland, along with the Holy Light Knights, charged back and forth on the few main roads in Graycastle.

It’s just that there are too many of these crypt demons, and they have no clear strategic goals at all.

Xu Lai once thought that they would destroy the catapult and open the gate.

Who knows, these subterranean demons are here to create chaos.

Their targets were houses, workshops, and teams responsible for transporting ammunition and food supplies.

Of course, it also includes key locations such as military camps, city gates, watchtowers, and catapult positions.

The emergence of a large number of crypt demons caused serious chaos in Graycastle, and there were problems with logistics supply and personnel rotation.

Fortunately, there are reserve troops on the city wall and mountains of resources, so there will be no problems for the time being.

Xu Lai, who was rushing into the battle, suddenly felt a creepy feeling at this moment.

Elvy, who had been following Xu Lai silently, flapped her wings and stood in front of Xu Lai.

Through the corner of his eye just now, Xu Lai suddenly saw an extremely tall figure.

This figure was followed by numerous Hell Barons wearing gorgeous brocade robes and holding huge sickles. (End of this chapter)
