Heart of the Castle

Chapter 647 Northern Reinforcements, Champion Charge
Before the Winged Demon Destroyer finished speaking, the treacherous Lord Shakross roared angrily, and the gemstone wand was raised, with a translucent ripple flashing from the top.Li Weiston's horizontal sword was on his chest and he was on guard, and the dark blue light of the dispel technique flickered in the palm of his left hand, ready to respond.However, Shakross' target was not the Griffin Lord. With a wave of the gemstone wand, the sound of the Winged Demon Destroyer stopped, and the whole body floated out of thin air, and then began to swell violently.

Less than a heartbeat away, the body of Winged Demon Destroyer suddenly exploded, forming a thick black-red blood mist in a radius of ten meters, engulfing the figure of the treacherous Lord Shakros.The blue light of the dispelling technique lit up almost at the same time, but this time it didn't have much effect. Although the blood mist was fluctuating under the pressure of the blue light, it still tenaciously occupied the space in front of it.

"This guy wants to escape!" A wild elf war dancer blurted out, "Master Li Wei, let's rush in and kill him!"

"In a magical area with unknown effects, fighting a legendary demon lord?" Li Wei shook his head in disapproval. "What is the difference between this behavior and courting death?"

"Every wild elf war dancer is a brave and fearless warrior." The wild elf war dancer with beautiful and strange tattoos on his upper body said loudly, "In order to win, we are not afraid of death."

"So is the Silver Pegasus Knight!"

"But that's not brave and fearless, but reckless and impulsive, which is very different." Levi Stern warned in a cold tone, "Facing a strong enemy, without a calm mind, you will only waste your precious life. Go Help Master Uniken Martial Arts, that is where your assistance is most needed."

As he spoke, he pointed to the war dancer master Unicon Feseld, who was struggling endlessly with a wounded arm.It seems that the situation of this master of martial arts is not very good, without the power of fighting spirit to protect his body, every successful attack of him will trigger the counterattack of the blood power of the evil god of the abyss, Yarudir, and the burst of blood-red flames will be scattered in the Unikenfizer Several scorched black marks were left on De's body. Although the martial arts master's offensive movements were still sharp and precise, his footsteps were already showing a tendency to stagger.

The two wild elf war dancers ran towards the confrontation between Unicenfizerd and the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, without much hesitation; the two silver Pegasus knights thought for a few more seconds, and then headed towards Li Weiston bowed and saluted, "Yes, Your Excellency Li Wei." Then he rushed over shaking his silver-white cloak.

Li Weiston's eyes turned to the condensed blood mist. Although this kind of evil magic could block the sharpest eyes, it did not have much hindering effect in the field of vision of the probing technique.The huge blood-red light group representing the deceitful Lord Shackles has disappeared, and at the same moment when his vision was blocked, the legendary Demon Lord used invisibility magic to leave the battlefield.

As for where he is now... Li Wei raised his head and looked at the earth embankment built by the devil. Sure enough, he saw a blood-red light streaking across the sky like a shooting star. With one of the commander's wheel palaces flying down.

The figure of the treacherous lord Shakros appeared above the embankment with a light mist, and then floated to the top of one of the commander's wheel palaces. The humiliation he had just been forced to escape from before Levi Stone burned his chest like a raging fire. , making his eyes burn with terrifying blood.

However, the situation in front of him is more important than the anger in his heart.

Under the golden sun of noon, the army that surged from behind the demon army was like a slowly opening steel rose, with petals and spikes gleaming.The posture of thousands of cavalry charging in a battle formation is so powerful that the ground seems to tremble because of this. Since the cavalry needs to keep a fighting distance between each other, it seems to be larger than the camp of tens of thousands of demon troops.

"This is not the army of the elves." Shackles suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and reminded himself softly, "It is the reinforcements of the human kingdom. The abyss is below. How did the information here reach the northern border of the Kingdom of Arthur? I am sure there is no messenger Being able to get through tight defenses is impossible even for a bird."

It didn't take long for Shackles to contemplate, because the huge cavalry force was approaching, and the smoke and dust from tens of thousands of horseshoes covered the sky, and the army was surprisingly uniform, looking like an unsheathed horse. Like a sharp sword, pointing to the central vital point of the demon army.

The sharpest point of the sword is composed of dozens of knights in full armor. Half of these knights are wearing gray-colored chain mail, holding huge swords, and woolen cloaks of the same color are flying behind their shoulders.Over the heads of these knights a great banner unfurls, and the emblem appears and disappears in the wind—a golden crown beneath crossed swords.The other half of the knights were wearing bright red heavy armor, with a golden half-cloak on their shoulders, and the spear in their hands seemed to be holding a bunch of golden sun rays from a distance, and it looked like it had just been forged from a blacksmith's furnace. It also exudes light and heat.The blue and white griffin banners flew proudly above their heads, guiding the direction of the entire army.

Shacrosse didn't want to count the densely packed banners at the back, which gathered almost all the family crests of the northern border of the Kingdom of Arthur and the capital of King Fermeyer. Even at a cursory glance, one could see the bloody wolf head of the Cedric family , the old oak tree of the Sherwood family, the gray tower of the Gauchak family, the khaki bear of Donald the Roaring Bear, the steel-armored giant fist of Dragunson, and the red steamer of Wilps.Almost every banner represents the arrival of a famous knight, and that doesn't include those Knights of the Iron Guard who gave up their insignia after joining the Order of Embers.

The deceitful lord took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. "This will be a fierce war, protracted and costly, but the final winner will only be me, not anyone else." He glanced at the approaching battle line and whispered to himself.

After making up his mind, Shakross stomped his feet, and white-hot flames immediately rose from under his feet, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye.In the next moment, another flame erupted in front of the obsidian throne of Commander Lungong, filling the hall with a strong sulfurous atmosphere.

As soon as Shacross stepped out of the flames, he felt a strange chill hit his heart. His commander's wheel palace also served as the headquarters of the demon army. Even though he took away many elite subordinates because of participating in the negotiations, There should be more than a dozen subordinates staying behind, but the treacherous lord was surprised to find that the huge hall was empty, and all the subordinates staying here were missing.
"Perhaps this shouldn't surprise me. The sudden termination of those contracts is an ominous omen..." The treacherous lord Shakros held the gemstone wand tightly, and a vigilant light flashed in his narrowed eyes .However, he didn't find any signs of life activity in his perception. It seemed that the enemy who attacked the commander's wheel palace and slaughtered his subordinates had already left.

However, at this moment, a breeze brushed against the cheek of the treacherous lord, cold and cruel, like the silent whisper of death.Shackles turned around in horror, the gemstone wand pointed behind him, but there was nothing in his field of vision, only the half-open door creaked softly, and the golden sunlight streamed in from outside the door, leaving many Mottled and flickering light and shadow.

"So it was just... a false alarm?" Shakross whispered to himself, his tone seemed to have relaxed, but the next moment, he suddenly raised the gemstone wand, and the colorful lights flashed in the hall.

"Detect invisibility!"

Numerous colorful light spots spewed out from the head of the gemstone wand like a fountain. Wherever it touched, the void shook like water disturbed by stones. However, it was the same as when the negotiation site was detected not long ago. Other than that , and no other abnormalities occurred.It wasn't until then that Shacklebols truly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards his obsidian throne.

"What happened here? No, no, let's put these things aside for now. The most important thing is to organize troops to resist immediately. When the human cavalry are repelled, I have some time to thoroughly investigate these problems, and some time... ..."

The voice of the deceitful lord Shakros suddenly became hoarse and thin, as if he was caught by a throat that was suddenly tightened. He stopped suddenly, struggling to inhale air, but his throat was tightly held by an invisible big hand. It was so fierce that he thought that his neck bones might be broken in the next moment.

If it was an ordinary life, losing the ability to breathe would definitely make him unconscious due to suffocation within 1 minute, and even eventually die, but the body structure of the abyssal demon saved Shackles' life.The conditions of each plane of Abyss Hell are different, but one thing in common is that the environment is extremely harsh. Many planes are filled with terrible poisonous mist that can instantly poison bison and elephants. People who live in this environment The abyssal demons have already evolved the instinct to maintain long-term activities without breathing.

Of course, the sharp decline in physical fitness is also a foreseeable result.

Shakross shook his head vigorously, and the coughing sound in his throat was terribly thin. He wanted to chant the abyss spell, to create magic protection for himself, or to relieve the power that suffocated him—whether it was based on magic or potions. reason.However, it was not easy. Shackles pressed his neck with his left hand, feeling that the muscles in his throat seemed to be as hard and tense as the cables tied to an ocean-going ship. His efforts to breathe and make a sound were all suppressed by this muscle that betrayed him. erased.

There seemed to be some abnormalities in the shadow at the feet, wriggling, splitting, and then a thin figure formed behind Shackles. Two clusters of purple-red flames were burning on the part of the figure that should be the head, and the taste of hatred inside was undisguised .

Shakross turned around as if he had foreseen something, raised the gem wand, and just as the gem on the head of the wand shone with a gleam of light, the thin figure took a step ahead and cross-stabbed it with the poisoned dagger in his hand.

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the wand was completely unable to resist the sharp edge of the dagger, and broke from it immediately. However, this seemed to be the original intention of the treacherous lord. He quickly made a gesture, and then the violent magic energy surged out, tying him and him together. That thin figure was thrown far away.

The deceitful lord tried his best to control the posture of his body in the air, and at the same time managed to cast an air shield instantly. However, he couldn't compete with the turbulent flow of magical energy erupting from the gemstone wand. A series of cracking sounds.

Fortunately, the turbulent flow of magic energy was only caused by the sudden destruction of the gemstone wand. It came fiercely and went away quickly. At the same time that the air shield was completely shattered, the turbulent flow of magic energy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Shakross panted and collected himself. No matter who the figure that suddenly appeared just now was, he was sure that the figure was not a legendary powerhouse, and it would be absolutely difficult to survive such a sudden magical turbulence. "The next thing is to solve the problem of breathing and making a sound..." The treacherous lord thought this way, and then felt a coldness on his back, as if a sharp knife made of ice and snow pierced deeply from the side of the spine, and then There was a sharp pain in his chest that made his eyes go black.

"No..." Due to the abnormal stiffness of the muscles in the neck, Shackles blurted out a small and rough voice, which no one could hear except himself.The deceitful lord did not forcefully turn around and fight back, but struggled forward and took two steps forward. His back felt hot and he detached from the sharp knife. Afterwards, blood gushed out from the wound crazily, and the deep purple blood stained him in an instant. His robes were dyed almost pitch black.

Hundreds of colorful lights escaped from Shackles' body, forming countless colorful light curtains in the blink of an eye, protecting his body layer by layer. These light curtains flow continuously It presents all kinds of wonderful pictures, a large part of which can directly evoke the deepest desire in the viewer's heart, and the other part shows the most desperate and terrifying nightmares.

These light curtains are the kaleidoscope domain—the domain power of the treacherous lord Shakros may be insufficient in terms of strength, but the special ability of the kaleidoscope domain to directly attack the spiritual consciousness makes other people, including the Burning Dragon King Darija, The demon lord felt quite afraid.

Shakross may not be able to defeat a legendary powerhouse who has truly mastered the original power by virtue of the kaleidoscope field, but it will definitely have a great impact on him, such as weaker legendary powerhouses like BlazBlue, the Emerald Dragon Empress. It takes a lot of effort to even break free.If the one who fell into the kaleidoscope field is not a legendary powerhouse, then it is almost certain that a flaw in the mind will be found, thus creating a very easy chance to kill the treacherous lord.

Marquis Osiris, the green lion, almost died because of it.

Of course, as a partial application of spiritual power, the kaleidoscope field also has great flaws. This field can only do limited interference with the strong-willed legendary powerhouse, and the interference with undead creatures is reduced to a very pitiful level. the point.Sir Rodriguez relied on the characteristics of the Scourge Knight to easily defeat Shacrosse. If the treacherous lord hadn't seen the opportunity and fled immediately, he might have fallen under the star iron giant sword that cursed the world and the black sun.

But that person just now is definitely not Sir Rodriguez, let alone possess any original power. "He is dead, the kaleidoscope field will let him taste the pain that is unimaginable!" With this thought, Shackles was stabbed fiercely from the chest by a dagger, and then the colorful light curtains in front of him shattered , a thin figure wrapped in rune cloth strips emerged next to the body of the treacherous lord.

"The abyss is below, this is... the Shadow Assassin!" This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, Shakros's heart twitched suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale. "These guys are... completely immune to psychic attacks!"

The second dagger pierced deeply into the treacherous lord's abdomen, and then the thin figure let go of his hands and stepped back, leaving both poisoned daggers in Shakros' body.

"Your Majesty the treacherous Lord Shackles, Captain of the Northern Griffin Knights Special Operations Team, and Shadow Knight Alan Skett salute you." The thin figure spoke contemptuously, and at the same time bowed politely, His voice was hoarse and ugly, and it also had a hissing sound like a rattlesnake spitting out a snake letter.

"Goo..." Shakross struggled to say something, but when he opened his mouth, only purple blood gushed out.

The fierce battle that took place in the commander's wheel palace was unknown to others. Seeing that the cavalry troops were getting closer, but the orders of the three demon lords had not been issued, there was a commotion in the demon army.From the ordinary soldiers to the team leaders and commanders, there was a look of panic on their bloodthirsty and brutal faces.The little devils and horned demons in the front looked back from time to time, as if they were considering and comparing the cavalry on the opposite side and the warlord team behind them, which side had the sharpest butcher knife in their hands.

In fact, even the supervising team composed of all demon guards felt terrified. These cruel demons directly accepted the leadership of the treacherous lord Shakross. I have sent messages asking for orders several times, but they are like stones thrown into the sea without any reply.

Seeing the steel man and iron horse on the opposite side crushed like a movable wall full of sharp blades, the demon army that lost its leader started to commotion like ants on a hot pot, and some little demons were the first to be frightened by fear. They had to turn around and flee. Although the supervising team killed them all immediately, they couldn't stop more and more routs. Soon, even the demon guards couldn't help but look behind them, as if they wanted to find a way to escape for themselves. road.

Seeing the turmoil in the demon camp, a roar like a thunderbolt from the clear sky came from the forward position of the cavalry, "Long live the Kingdom of Arthur, fight for Lord Leviston!"
