Heart of the Castle

Chapter 636 Three Days and Nights Through Fire and Smoke ([-])
The demon army relied on the commander's wheel palace to cover this storm, and finally collapsed under the impact of the mobile small monster catapult. Only two of the six commander's wheel palaces that participated in the attack escaped intact, and the first wheel palace was killed. The stone rain was smashed into tatters, and dozens of demon knights gathered on it were all killed. Only the abyss alchemist who manipulated the wheel palace escaped using the flame jumping teleportation technique; the other three were destroyed on the way back, as thick as The axles of the pillars were split in the middle, and the wheels, which were taller than a person, fell off and rolled everywhere.

According to Li Wei's thinking, this setback was enough for the demon army to be honest until the dawn of the next day, but the madness of the commander of the demon army was not even expected by the griffin lord.It wasn't long before the group of demons who had completely messed up the establishment fled back to their camp when the sacrificial drums surrounding countless humanoid skeletons rang suddenly, and then many high-level demons walked out of the camp, surrounded by three very-looking demons. tiny figure.

Levi, who had just returned to the watchtower, suddenly stood up, holding the window with his hands, with a slightly stiff expression on his face, "Sir Rodriguez, am I right? Among the three people, the one on the right is ...burn the Dragon King Darika!"

"Your eyes are very sharp, Master Levi." Sir Rodriguez put his hand on the hilt of the great iron star sword, and replied calmly.

"According to the consistent performance of the Abyssal Demon, the commander-in-chief of the entire army will definitely stand in the middle. Since the guy in the gray-black robe can be tied with the Burning Dragon King, at least his strength will not be far behind." Li Wei A little unbelievable—or not wanting to believe it, and said suddenly, "Three legendary powerhouses appear together, Father God, this is really the worst situation. If they attack together..."

"No, Master Levi, the three demon lords have no intention of attacking at the same time, at least not yet." Sir Rodriguez stared at the opposite side for a while, then shook his head and said, "The aura of the demon lord in the middle is very strange. , and the one on the left...he has a strong smell of death lingering around his body, and he should be the one who severely injured the orc king Kalmos' bloody roar."

"Is the plague lord Yinchen Samuel?" Li Wei glanced at the hunched guy, the worry in his eyes became more obvious, "It is said that he is the demon lord who is in charge of many dark secret alchemy magic, dark alchemist Master You Yue used the name Yin Chen to summon her, and planned to cast a terrifying magic that could destroy two-thirds of the northern border county."

"If you want to cast that kind of magic, even the demon lord has to make some preparations, and there will inevitably be very obvious power fluctuations..." Sir Rodriguez suddenly interrupted in the middle of speaking, and then couldn't hide his surprise blurted out, "By God, are these demons mad?"

It seems that the commander in chief of the demon army has indeed gone crazy, because they didn't wait for the troops to recover from a fiasco, and then drove them onto the battlefield again.In order to boost morale and restrain the troops, the team leaders of the several demon teams that led the escape just now were pulled out from the team, and then all of them were beheaded and hung high on the flag.

Perhaps it was because the power of the small spirit monster's catapult had taught the demon army a little bit, so this time they did not send out the commander's wheel palace, which was slow and the target was too obvious, but sent a full [-] teams. The way moved towards the direction of the Moonglade outpost.

Only in this way, the long-range attack that the elf archers are good at shines brilliantly, and the demon side suffered two heavy blows in a row in one day, and the morale also dropped very badly. The energy is gone.

From the fierce battle in the evening to the night, the demon army was once again beaten to pieces and had to retreat to rest. More than 2000 cannon fodder and little demons died on the battlefield. The demon slave riders who were good at harassing and attacking were almost killed. Absolutely.

After discussing with everyone in the Elf King Court, Li Wei ordered all the troops to hurry up and rest, but within half an hour, another group of demon teams were pulled onto the battlefield.This time, in addition to more than a dozen teams on the ground, the commander of the demon army also dispatched a full four winged demon teams to cooperate in the air, trying to prevent the defenders of the Moonglade outpost from simultaneously charging from the sky and the ground.

Li Wei didn't even hesitate for a second, and responded decisively. He personally led the griffin troops to take off to meet the enemy, and the emerald dragon and green dragon also flew into the sky.However, there were no figures of the Emerald Dragon King Zhanqing Augustus and the Emerald Dragon Empress BlazBlue Astena. They had to stay in the camp and be ready to resist the legendary powerhouse on the side of the devil at any time.

Although the Winged Demons have an absolute advantage in numbers, they have not been able to turn it into an overwhelming victory.In terms of individual combat capability, the Winged Demon was two or three times worse than the Griffon, and after adding a fully armed knight, the gap further increased to more than ten times.As for the green dragon and emerald dragon, they are even more powerful. It usually takes thirty or forty pterodactyls to barely hold back the onslaught of a green dragon, while the emerald dragon needs nearly a hundred pterodactyls to counter it.

On the other hand, since the battlefield is mainly located above the outpost of Moonglade, the Winged Demons not only have to fight endlessly with griffins, green dragons, and emerald dragons, but also have to be alert to the precise long arrows shot from below them at all times.Although this is exactly the reason why the Demon Commander sent the Winged Demon team - to attract the attention of the elf archers and share the long-range strikes suffered by the ground troops, but absolutely no Winged Demon would willingly sacrifice his life for this great cause.

When a few reckless Winged Demons lowered their altitude due to chasing the Griffin Knight, and then were torn to pieces by the silver alloy armor-piercing arrows of the Elven Marksman, those Winged Demons' attacks became more perfunctory, and they refused to lower their heights at all. Fighting high.

The passive avoidance of the winged demon team made the treacherous lord Shakros furious. He sent an abyss refiner who served as the leader of the personal guards to kill the team leaders of the four winged demon teams on the spot, and then ordered all the winged demons to carry a rock , preparing to throw it from the sky towards the Moonglade outpost.

This tactic is exactly the same as the stone rain strike of the goblin catapult, which makes Shakros feel quite proud. However, the flying speed and flexibility of the Winged Demon are inferior to the Griffin and the Dragon Clan. After carrying the stones for throwing, it is more is seriously slow.As a result, before the Winged Demon flew halfway, Li Weiston gave an order, and hundreds of silver Pegasus knights rushed out of the outpost in Moonlight Glade, like fireflies burning with silvery white flames, facing the winged demon. The magic army rushed.

The Griffin Knight and the Dragon Clan also took the initiative to attack at the same time, and the intensity of the air battle immediately became intense.The majestic roar of the dragon, the high-pitched and clear cry of the griffin and the long hiss of the silver pegasus mixed together to form a terrifying howl, resembling the terrifying howl of a wild hurricane in a storm.What followed was the screams of winged demons. These bat-winged demons were bitten, pecked, raked, and mithril machete slashed and killed one after another. It was very difficult to fight back, and immediately fell into chaos.

More than a dozen dragon breaths swept across the Winged Demon's formation in parallel, and the scorched corpses fell down like raindrops. This joint attack by the Emerald Dragon and the Green Dragon completely destroyed the Winged Demons' sanity. They screamed and dropped their hands. The stones in it were scattered in all directions like chickens and ducks that had exploded their nests.

Since the Winged Demons did not fly far above the outpost of Moonglade, the stones they dropped not only did not cause any damage to the fortifications of the elf camp, but knocked down a large area of ​​the advancing demons below them.The leader of the abyss demon refining guards was still roaring to supervise the battle, ordering the fleeing winged demons to return to the front line, but then his voice was drowned out by a loud thunderous noise.

The dark blue ice gun issued from Li Wei's hand pierced through the flame protection of the abyss refining demon, and sank deeply into his chest.The body of Abyss Lianmo is indeed strong. Although the heart has been pierced by the ice spear, he still struggles to retreat, and at the same time, a circle of black fierce flames blooms all over his body.

If it is an ice spear condensed by ordinary magic, it will melt quickly under the scorching flames of hell.However, the magic cast by Li Wei through the heart of the castle has an effect similar to the original power. Although it cannot compete with the real original power, the burning of some hellfire will not have any effect.

Li Wei quietly watched the abyss refiner struggling in pain, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, he raised his right hand above his head, and then clenched his fingers tightly in the air.

"Go back to hell, devil!"

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the ice spear piercing into the chest of the abyss refining demon suddenly shattered with Li Wei's movements, countless small and sharp fragments penetrated his scales, muscles, bones and internal organs effortlessly, Tear the body of the abyss refining demon into a thousand holes.

Seeing the leader of his personal guard falling from the sky like a piece of rag, a hint of ferocity flashed across the ordinary-looking eyes of the treacherous lord Shakros. Levi Ston who was on the king's back shot.

Li Wei's perception ability is quite good, and he immediately found that he had been locked by the eyes of the legendary strong man, but he showed no fear. Instead of urging the Griffin King to return to the outpost of Moonlight Forest, he sat upright on the saddle , in the oncoming hurricane, under the shroud of smoke and fire, and even on the battlefield where the sky and the earth are fiercely confronted, he gave the deceitful lord Shackles a cold and icy gaze.

Shackles clasped his hands in front of his chest involuntarily, the corners of his eyes twitched, his mouth let out a few light bangs, and an inexplicable shuddering breath leaked out from under his flying blood-red robe, making the surrounding Gao The high-level demons let out a flustered commotion.Several weaker team leaders retreated one after another, and even the plague lord Yinchen Samael, who was standing on the left side of the treacherous lord, couldn't help but pay attention to his guard, for fear of being overwhelmed by the power of the original domain that Shakross erupted in his anger. trauma.

However, the treacherous lord's furious expression only lasted for a few seconds, and then he became calm instead, and a light, raving sneer escaped from the corners of his slightly raised mouth. "Cunning human beings, but I'm afraid you have forgotten my title-the deceitful lord is not so easy to be fooled."

"Is that a trap? Your Majesty Shacrosso." Plague Lord Yinchen Samael asked suspiciously, "I think it was a good opportunity just now. That young human seems to be an important person. If you can quickly Attack and capture him, maybe the battle can be ended early..."

"I very much agree with the second part of your sentence, Brother Yinchen Samael." Shackles' thin lips flicked a trace of sarcasm, "If any of us strikes rashly, the battle will indeed end early, Because after losing the deterrence of a legendary powerhouse, those elves will quickly win this war."

Burning Dragon King Dariga let out a soft hum, and asserted unceremoniously, "It's just that you are afraid in your heart, Your Majesty Shackles, you are afraid of the power of those humans and elves. That's right, They are indeed prepared, but with two quasi-legends and a guy who is no different from a quasi-legend, even if they add a sudden surprise attack by the Emerald Dragon King, they only have a [-]% chance of winning."

"Letting them have a [-]% chance of winning is already too much." The deceitful lord Shakros shook his head gloomyly and said, "We clearly have a [-]% chance of winning, why should we take the initiative to reduce it to [-]%? Your Majesty Darika, would you Do you begrudge the blood shed by those troops under your command? Or is it that your bravery does not allow you to refuse to respond to the enemy's provocation?" His tone was subtly provocative, as if he wanted to burn the arrogant The anger in Dragon King Dariga's heart stirred.

However, to Shackles' great disappointment, after hearing these words, the Burning Dragon King Darija closed his eyes slightly, and there was no reaction to his temptation on his face.Just when he was a little dejected and thought that the provocation had completely failed, the Burning Dragon King suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be two groups of golden flames igniting in the twilight.

"Your Majesty Shackles, what a clumsy provocation. Do you really think that the fire diamond dragons are the same as those lowly red dragons, with no wisdom under their heads, but only the consciousness of killing?" Darika's tone was aggressive, even The plague lord Yinchen Samael standing next to him couldn't help taking a step back, subconsciously raised his hands, and almost launched the abyss magic sequence on his body, triggering several powerful defensive enchantment magic.

However, Shackles did not overreact, and just bowed slightly to the Burning Dragon King to apologize, "I am very sorry, brother Darija." The treacherous lord said in a sincere tone like his signature, "What I just said is not It is to stir up your anger, just to explain that no matter how slim the opponent’s chances of winning are, we should not give them any chance, let alone step into the battlefield set by them. Because even if we win in the end, we will inevitably need to pay some money. cost."

"Then where is the [-]% chance of winning you said?" Darija raised a hand, pointing at the man who was enduring the joint attack of Griffin, Dragon and Silver Pegasus Knight, as well as the long-range shooting of the elf marksman on the watchtower. , those demon teams who suffered heavy casualties pointed. "Is it these wastes who have been beaten to pieces?"

As if to prove the correctness of the Burning Dragon King, the demon team that had suffered so much was finally unable to bear such pressure. The outermost little demon team collapsed first, and then the hellhounds and howling horned demons also wavered, one after another. Terrified, he stopped charging.Just at this time, Si'er, the leader of the little monsters, commanded many ancient trees wearing external catapults to get ready, and threw a rainstorm of rocks on the battlefield.The array of those demon teams collapsed almost instantly, and the wailing screams from many demons filled the eardrums in an instant, and the red and black turbidity curled up violently like a poisonous snake scalded by fire, and then inhuman howls everywhere , The figure of a demon running around with his head in his arms.

"Your odds are back. Shall we welcome you? Your Majesty Shakros." Burning Dragon King Darija smiled mockingly.

The face of the treacherous lord Shakros was scary, but at least he remained calm. "Pro-Guards," he called out, and immediately several powerful-looking abyss fiends appeared beside him. "Go up and stop them!" Shackles commanded. "If the captains of the defeated teams are still alive, take their heads off and hang them on the banner! The first little devil team to flee uses eleven The method of smashing and killing, let them experience the fate of escaping!"

Watching those abyss refiners go to carry out the order, Shackles' expression turned calm again, and he even seemed a little smug. "Brother Dalijia, brother Yinchen Samael, do you think that my [-]% chance of winning is just bragging without any basis?"

Burning Dragon King Darija smiled after hearing this, "Your Majesty Shackles, you are the commander of the army appointed by the Great Monarch of the Abyss himself, and you are also a great figure in the Abyss and Purgatory known for your intrigues. What qualifications do I have to refuse to believe you?" What about it?" Even so, the expression on the face of the legendary dragon king was half doubtful and half mocking, but there was no element of belief.

Although the Plague Lord didn't answer, the same expression appeared on his ugly face covered with scars.

"It seems that our losses are far more than that of the elves, but this is not the case. Although we have more blood from the troops, if we say sweat, it is the losses of the elves that are heavier. We can rotate the attacking teams and divide them into The three groups are attacking day and night and digging trenches at the same time, but they can only hold their ground, and even the time to close their eyes and rest will be deprived by our offensive!" Shackles showed a hideous look on his face. He smiled, and then asserted in a decisive tone, "Their number is too small to last for a long time. This is the fatal injury of the Moon Whispering Forest!"
