Heart of the Castle

Chapter 396 Prelude to the Great Counterattack across the Line
When the superstructure of the wheel palace began to crumble and collapse, General Kleinus sensed the danger enough to threaten his life, so he released the hilt of the sawtooth beheading sword in time, allowing the powerful magic weapon to bear the terrible damage instead of him. .The entire wheel palace was vibrating violently, the powerful magic power that drove the commander's wheel palace was countercurrent, and all the magic patterns near the Black Iron Throne emitted dazzling hot light, causing the demon leaders in the hall to cover their eyes one after another. Don't dare to look directly.

Then the sawtooth decapitating sword uttered a terrifying sharp sound, and burst into countless fragments, like a shower of needles raining down in all directions.The sound far exceeded the limit that the eardrums could capture. Many weaker demon leaders didn't even hear anything. When I touched it, I realized that it was all purple-red blood.

General Kleinus said nothing, his face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes shone dark red like embers in black charcoal. "Scott!" He spit out the name as if chewing something bitter, and growled viciously, "Damn you, I'm going to wring your head off and put it in the castle as a decoration!"

If there is enough time, General Kleinus will definitely implement the promise. However, at this time, there was a loud horn sound from outside the wheel palace, and then countless voices with strong devilish accents screamed. , as if it were pigs and sheep being slaughtered.

This burst of sound caused all the demon leaders in the wheel palace to change their colors in horror, exchanging panicked eyes with each other, and the noise outside was louder and louder, and finally it was like the sky was falling apart.Then the gate of the Lun Palace opened suddenly, and several demon leaders and team leaders with panicked faces rushed in without thinking, as if something terrible was chasing after them.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, it's not good, the human defenders have started to counterattack, and our team on the south bank is about to be wiped out!"

"Counterattack? Where did they get the troops?" General Kleinus roared in disbelief, rushed to the door and looked out, and then the demon leaders rushed out.What they saw was an undisputed rout, from heaven to earth alike.The demons rolled down from the Great Wall of Ice as if they were blown into the woods by a gust of wind, and the branches and leaves broke off one after another.The little demon dropped the steel fork, the horned demons howled wildly like beasts, the hellhounds held their tails, and all the demons were running around in a panic. Because the iron chains across the Heihe River had been broken, the commander Lungong The superstructure smashed into the black river became their only way of escape.

The escape route was not wide. The upper building of the wheel palace was not designed as a bridge. It was covered with exquisite obsidian carvings. Now it blocked the way like countless swords and thorns. The place where you can climb smoothly is very narrow.Countless demons crowded on it, pushing each other, vying for each other, and fighting endlessly. Many of them grabbed each other and fell into the rapids, whirled and sank in the muddy and cold river water.

General Kleinus was mad with anger, he roared and issued orders, dispatched the demon leaders around him, and led other teams to intercept the fleeing demons.This, however, created even greater confusion.The demons that retreated from the front didn't listen to any orders at all, and launched a violent and violent attack on anything that stood in front of them, and because all the troops dispatched to the front line were relatively elite troops in the demon army, and the commander Lun Gong was killed. The destruction brought a serious blow to morale, and the demon teams who went to intercept them were impulsively moved and retreated together.

Although several demon leaders tried their best to shout and order the troops to calm down, it was of no avail at all. Those voices were all drowned out by hundreds of roaring voices.Relying on his strength, a horned demon warlord rushed forward and waved his arms, beating the brains of the two fastest running little demons, trying to stop the retreat.But then he was knocked to the ground by a rout of soldiers that looked like a roaring tide, and then countless claws trampled past him. The horned demon warlord's roar immediately turned into a scream, and then quickly weakened.

Only the guards of the demon lords riding the nightmare beasts were still calm, holding up their beheading swords menacingly. The blood-soaked steel jungle made the demon soldiers running towards them feel frightened, and they did not dare to attack their formation. Collapsed towards both sides.

The human defenders on the Great Wall were all exhausted. Even seeing the demons retreating in an orderly manner, they couldn't pursue them. Most of the defenders were covered in sweat and dust, with tired expressions on their faces, although their eyes were still shining. The anger that was not extinguished, but he could only stand there holding the sword, panting heavily.

However, this does not mean that the demons can breathe a sigh of relief, because an army composed of hundreds of werewolves and alchemy swordsmen has always been hidden in the shadows behind the Great Wall of Ice, until the key to the collapse of the Commander's Wheel Palace. The moment suddenly appeared, and dealt a heavy blow to the demon army.This recharged troop was full of energy and pursued along the route of the demon's retreat, slashing and killing without mercy.The humming of the werewolf's heavy flail and the swishing sound of the long sword cutting through the air never stopped in the ears of the demons. Accompanied by the shouts of killing and shouting, the demons became a mess and fled blindly.Sometimes there were no more than a few dozen werewolves and alchemy swordsmen chasing after a whole demon team, but they still drove them to flee for their lives in a hurry, and they didn't even dare to turn around and fight back.

Compared with the situation on the ground, the sky is also not optimistic. The winged golems are like a group of wild ducks that have exploded their nests, squawking and flying around, chasing after the big crows with black wings and blood-red eyes; a group of extraordinarily huge crows Hovering in the sky with several half-human, half-bird figures, whenever the scattered Winged Demons show signs of regrouping, they swoop down and strike with dense magic missiles and lightning beams, so that those who have finally recovered a little bit of fighting will The winged demon screamed and scattered in all directions to escape. The slow-moving guy was immediately submerged in the magic attack and fell down with a whirlwind.

General Kleinus's eyes flashed with anger, and every scale on his cheeks was glowing with blood, which was a sign that the abyss demon clan was extremely angry.The demon leaders could not help but shrink back, for fear of being angered by the tyrannical demon lord and general, but he did not lose his temper, but scanned the battlefield over and over again with sharp eyes.The demons were chased and slaughtered, every team was in chaos, and the chaos gradually spread to other teams that were not involved in the battle.It seemed that defeat was inevitable, but General Kleinus found a chance to save the defeat in the chaos.

"Those humans are few in number!" he murmured suddenly.This is indeed the fatal weakness of the human side. Except for those untrained citizens, the troops guarding the Ice Wall Great Wall are only 3000 people. All reserves in camp.Even the priests who had run out of divine spells took their maces and went to the battlefield. They also received combat training after praying, and their skills were at least no worse than ordinary soldiers.

If the battle lasted for another hour or two, or even a few ten minutes, in order to keep the line of defense from collapsing, Li Wei might have to bring out the surprise soldiers of the werewolf and alchemy swordsman that he had been hiding all along.Although the joining of this new force could barely contain the demon's offensive, it also pushed the Heihe defense battle into a war of attrition that was extremely unfavorable to humans.

Fortunately, Scott and his team overfulfilled the task. Not only did they use the opportunity of commanding the Incinerator troops to use the elemental turbulence to severely injure the commander's wheel palace, but they also created a commotion among the demon team. The demons who ran away first when they attacked, and those demons who blocked and killed indiscriminately in the narrowest places, were actually alchemy beings in the heart of the castle.

Like the defenders of the Great Wall, they shed blood and died to protect the land from the ravages of the demon army, but they could not enjoy the same treatment as human warriors. Most of them died silently in the chaos, even those who survived , and cannot get the cheers and thanks of the people on this land, and even written records cannot be left.

"Only 500 people, no, not even 500 people, just [-] people, and we still have a full [-] people, forty times their number! As long as we stand firm, those humans will never win !" General Kleinus suddenly roared, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Boiret, where is your team? Go up to support, release the dark cover for cover!"

Following the orders of General Kleinus, a Winged Demon leader flapped his wings and flew into the sky, followed by a group of Winged Demon Destroyers.They were immediately hit head-on by the black crow witch and the big crow. Lightning and purple-red magic missiles flew through the air, and several winged demons were hit by the volley and fell down screaming.However, this Winged Demon team has never participated in the attack on the Great Wall of Ice, and their morale and physical strength are better than those of the exhausted team. With the low and strange sound of magic spells, several pieces appeared in the sky as if absorbing the surrounding light. In the black area, the black crow witch and the big crows had to climb up to avoid the counterattack of these winged demons.Their melee combat ability is not comparable to that of the winged demons with strong bodies. If they are approached, they may not even be able to survive a few heartbeats.

The winged demon team led by Boiret was not obsessed with chasing those annoying opponents. They flew in the direction of the demon's rout. Emerging from the ground, the human pursuers stopped hesitantly, while the demon's rout soldiers rushed in in surprise.

The darkness caused by this kind of magic is no stranger to demons. The night in the abyss hell is like this. There is no starry sky, and there are no three bright moons with different colors shining in the night sky.They can still fight under the cover of darkness, and neither the werewolf nor the alchemy swordsman can see through such a thick shadow.

The demons began to regroup under the cover of darkness. In the fierce battle that began at dawn, the demon army lost about one-fifth of its number, but there were still more than [-] left.If they were allowed to recover from their retreat, it would be a terrible disaster for the defenders of the Ice Wall Great Wall.

However, this situation did not exceed Li Wei's expectations. The young lord has fully grasped the weaknesses of the various teams of the demon army and the abilities of the race from the information sent by Scott. , Of course, it has long been taken into consideration before the war.

"Order, Griffin Special Assault Force, attack!"

The horn blew a few sharp and bright notes, which echoed under the sky, and then dozens of griffins moved above the clouds from the camp behind the Great Wall of Ice. These ferocious beasts with the characteristics of both eagles and lions uttered an exceptionally loud cry , rushing towards the battlefield at high speed!
