Heart of the Castle

Chapter 638 Three days and nights through fire and smoke ([-]) On the day of my birthday, I ask everyone for blessings, thank you
This victory made the demon army quiet for several hours, and also gave the guards at the outpost of Moonlight Glade a rare opportunity to rest. After a whole day and a half of fierce fighting, including the Griffon Lord Levi Stone himself, Everyone felt exhausted and wished they could lie down and sleep for three days and three nights.

However, they can only sleep on the spot at their respective posts, or just take a nap.The chefs took the opportunity to serve the meals that had already been cooked and had been heated for countless times. Some people ate some with dazed eyes and no appetite, while most people’s sleepiness overwhelmed their hungry stomachs, and they snored one after another. Completely dominated the skies above the Moonglade Outpost.

There is only one place that may not be conquered by the snoring. The body of the orcs is obviously much stronger than that of elves or humans. The orcs headed by Kalmos Bloody Roar are talking loudly and slapping their chests and thighs with their palms from time to time. Bursts of excited laughter.

The peaceful time always flies by quickly. Li Wei felt that he had just closed his eyelids when the harsh alarm bell sounded in his ears again. Turned over on the bed made of tail grass and sat up.

The servant knight Grun Worm rushed in through the door. He should have been lying down without taking off his armor just now, and there were still a few light red marks on his cheeks. "The demon army is dispatched again, Master Li Wei." His face looked a little tired, and it was obvious that the short sleep had not completely recovered his exhausted spirit.

"How many troops did the devil dispatch?" Li Wei asked, hanging the knight's sword on his belt, and then tried to pull it out twice, adjusting the scabbard to the most convenient angle for shooting.

"There are too many to count." Grunwalm replied hurriedly, "Those demons had been dispatched more than an hour ago, and the sentinels on the watchtower were too tired to notice their movements. It has been repaired by the demons..."

Li Wei rushed out of the room without waiting for Grunworm to finish speaking.Maybe those elves who haven't experienced the baptism of war for hundreds of years don't understand the significance of the devil's building embankments and digging ditches, but for the young but experienced Griffon Lord, it means the moonlight The last bit of woodland outpost advantage is gone.

However, no matter how anxious Li Wei was and how fast his steps were, it was too late, and the negligence of the defenders ruined the results of the morning's risky attack.When he climbed up to the watchtower, he saw at a glance the gray-black long snake-like earth embankment lying in front of him, far higher than the wooden wall of the outpost in Moonlight Glade, and the Commander's Wheel Palace on top of several mounds. It looks majestic and towering, and the figures of countless demons are swaying and running, like a huge bread with countless ants.

The leaders of the camp defenders boarded the watchtower one after another. Some of them looked gloomy and anxious, but many of them didn't seem to care much, especially Serendis, the leader of the Silver Pegasus Knights, was even more dismissive. There is even an urge to try in the opposite gaze.

"What are those demons doing?" Green Leafsinger Simon Golden Tongue frowned and said, but there was only a little confusion in his expression, and he obviously didn't understand the real purpose of the demons in building this embankment.The speculation he uttered later confirmed this point even more, "Could it be that they want to trap us here in this way?"

"That can only mean that the brains of these guys have been dried by the boiling lava river." Captain Serrandis said afterwards, "The Moonglade outpost is not an isolated island, and their embankment only closes three directions , and from the forest area behind, we can still receive continuous support from the Evergreen Tower."

"It's not a siege at all..." Li Wei put down the bronze looking glass in his hand, and then sighed heavily, "My lords, the next period of time may be very difficult, and the devil will definitely launch endless To attack, the watchtowers and wooden walls everywhere must be increased and reinforced, and simple shields must be added to key parts, otherwise, it may be difficult to support here."

"Your Excellency Li Wei, what do you mean?" Captain Serrandis raised the corners of his eyebrows, with an undisguised expression of incomprehension on his face, "Those guys are 500 meters away, how can they... "

Before the leader of the Knights of the Silver Pegasus finished speaking, there was an extremely dull crashing sound, followed by a painful muffled groan.Everyone was in an uproar, and Captain Serrandis jumped forward briskly, holding the window frame and looking out.On the wooden wall in front, a wild bear heavy infantry was hit by a spear in the chest. The sharp spearhead pierced the chain armor on the wild bear man, and penetrated his body, bursting out from behind. A half-foot bloody blade.

The wild bear man struggled to hold the handle of the spear with his red hands, as if he wanted to pull out the spearhead that had penetrated deeply into his chest, but then his legs went limp, and he fell back weakly... Falls under the wooden wall.

"Where is this... a spear flying from?" Commander Serrandis couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, instinctively left the dangerous window, and then asked sharply, "Direction, angle, find out immediately! Watchtower Are the sentinels on board blind?"

"From, from the embankment on the opposite side..." an elf archer replied, his voice was trembling and broken, as if he couldn't believe it himself.

"On the embankment! It's at least 500 meters away from the camp!" Captain Serendis clenched his fists and growled at the elf marksman, "Even the best elf longbow can't have such a terrifying range , how could those demons..."

As if to prove it to the leader of the Silver Pegasus Knights, there was an innumerable whirring and breaking sound outside the window, and an astonishing number of slender black shadows flew from the earth embankment built by the demon army, which was bigger than the arrows shot by the longbow. The arrow is much thicker, and the speed is much faster, almost even the sunlight is completely blocked.There was a lot of shock in the outpost of Moonlight Glade, and the watchtowers and guards on the wooden walls were looking for places to hide their bodies, even the warlike orc king Karmos was no exception.

Li Wei rushed behind the stunned Captain Serrandis, grabbed his shoulder blades and dragged him to the ground. This action was undoubtedly very timely, because when the two fell into a ball, a shot The spear flew in from the window with a whining sound, and then it was nailed to the wall with such force that it seemed that even the entire watchtower trembled slightly.

"Ailala, what kind of terrifying bow and arrow is this?" Green Leaf Singer Simon Golden Tongue squatted behind the thick wooden table, his eyes staring out of the window, "500 meters, this is a full 500 meters distance!"

"It's not a bow and arrow, but it's fired from something like a heavy crossbow, but its power and size are much larger than those we use." Sir Grace was the only one in the entire watchtower who didn't panic and dodge. The sharp gaze and calm temperament of the sharpshooter allowed him to easily judge the firing trajectory of those short spears.He stood at the window and squinted his eyes to look at the opposite side, then turned half of his body and said, "Master Li Wei, several demon teams took the opportunity to rush over, and we must fight back."

Li Wei got up from the ground in a dizzy state. When he pulled Captain Serrandis down just now, he was hit on the forehead by the elbow of the Silver Pegasus Knights. Filled with the elegant fragrance of moonflowers, he couldn't help but slander the habits of the high elves.

"Counterattack, yes, we must counterattack, but how to do it?" Li Wei felt the ground under his feet was shaking, his throat was so tight that he could hardly speak, and thinking became extremely difficult.He hugged his head with both hands, and only then did he feel that the shaking of the ground became smaller. "Is the longbow of the elven marksman... far enough?"

The second half of the Griffin Lord's sentence was an inquiry to the secret archer Larry Moonbow, but the latter's face was pale and dull, and it took several seconds to react. "Ah, no, no, it can't be achieved. If you shoot a target on flat ground 500 meters away, maybe there are a few best elf longbows that can barely do it, but with the height of the embankment... I'm afraid it's only in my hands. The bow of the red moon will do..."

Sir Grace quietly raised his bow and set his arrow. After aiming briefly, a silvery-white ray of light flew across the air. Immediately, a demon figure jumped backwards on the opposite embankment, and then rolled down. "The range of the silver fir longbow can reach 500 meters, so the range of those steel war bows must be no problem." He announced in a calm tone.

The steel bow is one of the high-quality products produced by the blacksmith in the heart of the castle. It is specially made for those knights with fighting spirit. Its power and range far exceed that of ordinary longbows, and it is not inferior to some mechanical heavy crossbows.These weapons once shined brilliantly in the first round of the ceremony of peace, and caused La Rui Moonbow, the No. important contest.

There was a burst of blush on Larry Moonbow's pale face, and then disappeared, "That kind of steel war bow requires too much strength. I used the special archer's special bow opening technique to barely use it. I'm afraid other elf sharpshooters can't even draw a full bow, let alone aim and shoot."

"Who said that these steel war bows were handed over to elf sharpshooters?" Sir Grace shrugged and raised his bow to aim again. With the second flash of silver light, another demon fell on his back on the embankment . "The iron war bow is the weapon assigned to the Griffin Knights, and I heard that all the elves, men, women, young and old, can shoot good arrows?"

Ten minutes later, the manpower on the watchtower changed dramatically. The elf archers left the position that had always belonged to them, and the silver Pegasus knight in mithril chain mail replaced the archers. position, the weapon in his hand was changed from a gleaming silver scimitar to a dark steel bow.

Levi Stone also held a steel war bow, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sniper archer Sir Grace, and on the other side was Captain Serrandis, who had a strange expression on his face. The strength of this Silver Pegasus Knight Captain was beyond expectation He has reached the level of sanctification of grudge, and is much stronger than his predecessor, Sama Fenglanqi.

"Relax the shoulder blades, and rely entirely on the strength of your wrists and arms... Yes, that's it, don't shake, okay, aim now... Oops!" Sir Grace couldn't help but yelled, because he just patted Levi As a result, the overly nervous Griffin Lord shook his hand, and the silver alloy armor-piercing arrow turned into a white light, and shot towards the opposite earth embankment.

There was a slight laugh behind him, and there seemed to be whispers. Li Wei didn't know which elves came from, or everyone was laughing secretly?He shook his head to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling, and then took the next arrow from his quiver.

There was a sudden exclamation, and Li Wei couldn't help turning his head to check with some annoyance, "It's just that an arrow was missed...is it so ridiculous?" His complaints stopped because he suddenly discovered that, including Sir Grace Everyone, including him, looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

"What happened just now?" Li Wei blinked his eyes in confusion and asked.

The Silver Pegasus knights all looked at each other, Sir Grace made an unbelievable gesture, and then pointed to the opposite side, "Master Li Wei, please take a look for yourself, if this is a coincidence, it may not be too..."

There are absolutely few things that make the calm Sir Grace feel unbelievable. Levi looked out of the window seriously. At first, he didn't see anything unusual, but the number of spears shot from the opposite earth embankment seemed to be increasing. reduced.Then he saw a commander's wheel palace that seemed to be shaking, and countless demons were trying their best to save it, desperately grasping the huge wheel of that wheel palace with their arms, but the commander's wheel palace, which was like a small castle, was of course heavy, and those The devil's efforts couldn't slow down the speed at which the commander's wheel palace was tilting down the embankment.

A bright red light appeared in the distance, like a thin and long wound on the sky, bleeding.That was the figure of Burning Dragon King Darija. If this powerful and legendary Dragon King could arrive in time, maybe he could really save the commander's palace that was about to collapse, but this was just a guess.Although the speed of the red light can be called lightning fast, the wheel palace has already exceeded a certain dangerous angle, and then there was a huge crack and collapse sound, leading hundreds of panicked demons, sliding down from the earth embankment.

Burning Dragon King Darija stopped in mid-air with some regrets, watching the wheel palace hit the ground with a bang.The violent impact was comparable to the pinnacle blow of a legendary powerhouse, and the defensive magic circle inlaid on the surface of the commander's wheel palace was immediately scrapped, blasting countless turbulent streams of light and rain, hitting the earth embankment, causing the latter to collapse completely. A section of hundreds of meters long.

Undoubtedly, this was all the result of an arrow accidentally shot by Levi Ston. The silvery-white light shot out crookedly, but it just happened to kill a man who had just walked out of his commander's wheel palace. The burning demon of the abyss pierced through the heart.That burning demon is also considered unlucky. Their family is different from other abyssal demons. Their bodies are mainly composed of condensed and semi-substantial flame elements. It can recover instantly; at the same time, it can severely burn all melee attackers, which can be called a very powerful physique.

However, the fire element is the elemental power with the strongest attack power, and it is also the most violent and uncontrollable elemental power. Even the Abyss Burning Demon, who is born with a physique compatible with the fire element, cannot completely control it.Although the main building materials of the Commander's Wheel Palace are all from Abyss Hell, which has excellent fire resistance, it doesn't mean that it can ignore the terrible burning of the flame element on Abyss Burning Demon.

Usually, when the Abyss Burning Demon Clan is in their commander's wheel palace, they will instinctively restrain the violent flame elements in their bodies to prevent unnecessary losses.The defensive barrier of the Commander's Wheel Palace has also formed an extremely powerful protection for the Abyss Burner. This Abyss Burner has just stepped out of the Commander's Wheel Palace, and it only needs one heartbeat interval to restore the body condensed by the flame elements.

As a result, the arrow that Li Wei shot flying arrived at this moment, and hit the core on the chest of Fen Mo with incomparable precision. A horrified expression appeared on Fen Mo's face. The flame element suddenly exploded out of control, forming a huge fireball that pushed the entire commander's wheel palace away from its original position.

This episode became an inspiring and motivating catchphrase for a long time to come, and Leafsinger Simon Golden Tongue also used his expertise to compose a cheerful ditty "May you be as lucky as the arrow shot by the Griffin Lord" .The guards of the Moonglade Outpost sang this little tune and fought tenaciously. They not only had to shoot each other with the demon troops on the embankment, but also took care of the enemies who attacked from the sky and the ground, repelling their attacks again and again .There was hardly a moment's rest while repairing broken fortifications, raising and strengthening wooden walls and watchtowers, rescuing the wounded and burying the dead.

Their enemies, however, were able to rotate their fighting forces, divide into three parts and attack day and night without end.The actions of the demon army caused great losses to the guard troops at the outpost of Moonlight Glade. After three consecutive days and nights of hard fighting, more than half of the troops on the front line had suffered casualties, especially the elf archers and the silver Pegasus knights suffered heavy losses. The intensity of long-range attacks can only be maintained without adding many elves of wild elf sword dancers and auxiliary troops.

Of course, this method of storming also caused heavy losses to the demon army, and the casualties were ten times higher than that of the elves. However, due to the order of the abyss lord to capture the outpost of Moonlight Grove within a week, the three demon lords who commanded the demon army are no longer He cared about the loss of his troops, and even took turns to fight in person after the third day of the battle, launching a fierce attack on the Moonglade outpost with terrifying domain power!
