Heart of the Castle

Chapter 687

The initial battle started in a field located in the southwest of Dirk City. A patrol team of the Scourge Knights encountered almost the same number of Griffin Knights scout cavalry. Riding the horse to charge, they collided fiercely like two sharp arrows shot towards each other.

Even if the history of wars in the human kingdoms has lasted thousands of years, such a tragic and crazy scene rarely occurs. The confrontation between two groups of heavy knights—the Griffon Knights and the Scourge Knights brings terror As a result, the spear tied with a red ribbon pierced through the thick breastplate of the Scourge Knight, and the gun rod broke immediately with such force; the counterattack was equally fierce, and the Scourge Knight seldom used assault spears, but preferred to use heavy flails and two-handed The giant sword, with its dark dou qi light accompanied by the whining sound of breaking the wind, the violently swung weapon immediately severely wounded the same number of Griffin Knights.

This short confrontation lasted less than 2 minutes, but it caused the loss of dozens of knights to both sides.The dead fell off their mounts, and less than a quarter of the survivors regrouped, but this time they did not rush to attack, but sounded military horns to notify their own troops.The shrill and urgent sound of horns resounded through the night sky. In the blink of an eye, the sound of countless galloping horseshoes rolled across the field like thunder. Two knights with hundreds of people each gathered into two huge steel fists. The golden griffin and the blood-red sickle Flags fluttered at the front of the line.

"This is really surprising, Anliott, the Scourge Knights have carried out your orders so faithfully." In the temporary shelter made with powerful dark magic, the mad warrior Lord Ramston was a little surprised The comment said, "Dozens of little Griffin's subordinates were killed, but their own losses were equally heavy, and there is not enough high-level death knights to resist the opponent's legendary powerhouse, I am afraid that all The army is wiped out."

"Death knights are indeed more trustworthy and reliable than liches, but their minds are too rigid, and they will fight to the death for the realization of their vision, so at the end of the day, every surviving death knight will become a grand monarch. We still need to spend our energy to get rid of the hindrance of the plan." The corrupt lord Anliott shrugged coldly, and explained in a calm and emotionless tone, "Because of this, if these guys can be exchanged for the little lion Even if you exchange two or three of the knights under Eagle’s command, it’s a good deal.”

Ramsdon, the Lord of Berserker, let out a wild laugh, and with the laughter, white-hot flames shot out from his mouth and the gaps in his full-body armor, "It's too despicable, it's too cruel." He said His tone is undoubtedly admiring, "I really want to see the expressions of those death knights after hearing your words."

"You won't have a chance to see it." The green eyes of the corrupt lord Anliott kept staring at the battlefield on the plain below, and a gloomy smile appeared on his translucent swollen face, "The little Griffin's men Already occupying a decisive advantage, the end of the Scourge Knights is destined to be completely destroyed."

It doesn't take any great strategic vision to see that the Griffin Knights have won the battle against the Scourge Knights. Nearly [-] death knights were knocked off their horses, and the Griffin Knights who fell at the same time No more than fifty, fallen corpses are scattered all over the battlefield. The large-scale battle has ended, and only a few sporadic metal clangs are still heard, but that is only a few high-level death knights who are making their final resistance That's all.

The reason for such a disparity in battle damage ratio does not lie in the quality of ordinary knights. Although the ordinary members of the Griffin Knights have the strength to dissipate fighting spirit and can be called a rare and powerful army in all human kingdoms, the Calamity Knights are also composed of A powerful group of death knights.Even if it is slightly inferior in fighting spirit strength, the physical characteristics of the death knight can make up for this gap to a large extent. The confrontation between the vanguard of the two sides just now proved this point. More than 30 death knights exchanged for more than 20 lions. The Griffin Rider was knocked off his horse. If calculated according to this ratio, the loss of 100 Death Knights should at least be able to exchange for the death of more than [-] Griffin Riders.

The real reason for the huge change in the battle damage ratio was three people. The young man in the middle wearing iron blue light armor should be the Griffin Lord Levi Stone. He cast some kind of enchantment magic with a faint golden light , to a certain extent, improved the combat ability of the Griffin Riders.But this is only the most trivial reason, a black armor knight and a gray robe mage on both sides of Li Weiston are the real opponents worth paying attention to.

The two-handed giant sword in the black-armored knight's hand was crude in appearance, as if it had been cut at will on an iron bar made by a blacksmith in the country, but with every swing, a death knight was cut off from the saddle, and the death knight Their desperate counterattack was easily swept away like dust.The gray-robed mage held a white bone wand in his right hand, but he rarely used it. Various powerful spells were continuously ejected from his left hand, and the frequency was so fast that one wondered whether he needed to recite spells.At the beginning of the battle, a series of explosive fireballs enough to melt rocks swept across the entire formation of the Scourge Knights, completely disrupting their charge formation, and knocked more than a dozen of them off their horses; The dark purple energy bombs caused multiple casualties every time.

But these are not the places that really attract the attention of the two demon lords. Although the black-armored knight has a sharp sword, and the gray-robed mage has strong magic, in fact, they are only fighting at the level of a sword-wielding earl and a great magister. It can only be regarded as a trivial trouble in front of him.What shocked them suddenly was that when the head of the Calamity Knights, Eupondra, a headless knight with the strength of a sword-wielding marquis, charged forward on horseback, trying to stop the massacre, the black armored knight and The gray-robed mage made a clever cooperation for the first time.

Facing the oncoming Eupondra, the black-armored knight suddenly accelerated forward, with his huge sword slanted over his shoulder, as if he wanted to have a solo fight between the knights.Of course, Eupondra was not afraid of such a challenge, and raised his sword to meet him. However, at the moment when the two sword lights, as dark as the night, were about to collide, the gray-robed mage suddenly stretched out the bone staff in his right hand, and then issued a A growl.

"In the name of Ku Ximu!"

The voice of the gray-robed mage was not very loud, but the headless horseman Eupondra seemed to be struck by lightning. Not only did his whole body stiffen suddenly, but the death fighting energy on the blade also dissipated into countless light spots.This is undoubtedly a fatal blow in a fierce battle. The sword light of the black armored knight easily shattered the long sword in Eupondra's hand, and then drove straight in, splitting the armor, tearing the muscles and bones...

Two war horses staggered past, accompanied by a shrill scream, the leader of the Scourge Knights fell off the horse like a puppet with a broken string, twitched on the ground, and then remained motionless.A large group of griffin riders rode past Eupondra's body, and the smoke and dust from the trampling quickly engulfed him.

"Scream the undead! That's scolding the undead!" The corrupt lord Anliote couldn't help blurting out, his voice was as sharp and ugly as a sword blade scraping milk glass, and the shock in his tone couldn't be concealed at all.

The expression of Ramsdong, the Lord of Berserker, also became quite solemn, "Killed that Eupondra in a flash?" His mouth full of fangs was hissing with cold wind, half ape, half dog. Shaking his head in disbelief, "Anliot, I remember that when the Realm of Carrion and the Blood Wasteland clashed last time, the leader of the Scourge Knights had beheaded several of my capable men. It also includes two abyss refining generals, is there such a thing?"

The corrupt lord's face became even uglier, his facial skin fluctuated, and it seemed that there were countless tiny maggots swarming endlessly underneath, "Your Majesty Ramsdong, why are you still mentioning these past events?" He said loudly through gritted teeth, "We Haven't you already been ordered to reach a settlement in front of the great monarch, and have sworn to never blame the past?"

"I'm not repeating the past, Anliott." The Lord of Berserker spat angrily, and the glistening slime fell on the ground made of dark magic power, and immediately made a crackling sound, "Although I didn't I have fought against the head of the Scourge Knights under you, but judging from those men who can kill me, at least he is not an opponent who can be easily dismissed. Even if I go all out, I have no confidence that I can kill him in one shot Fate, those two underlings of the little griffin can do it... Could it be that their joint strength is even stronger than mine?"

"That's not necessarily true, His Majesty Ramston, rebuking the undead is only effective for the undead, and has no effect on the living." The face of the corrupt lord Anliott eased a little, and his tone changed from shock and inexplicable to dignified, " What is certain is that the gray-robed mage is a legendary master of undead magic. He may have served as the leader or elder of the Soul Solace organization, but it doesn't match up with those in my memory, and his Clothes... damn the gods, those are the attires of the members of the first council of the dead, could it be that there are guys who slipped through the net by chance when the great monarch personally took action?"

"Legendary master of undead magic?" The Berserker lord spewed out two puffs of hissing poisonous sulfur smoke from his nostrils, "Anliot, isn't this the same as yours? Then, whose spellcasting ability do you compare with him? Stronger?"

The corrupt lord let out two clucks, and after a full ten seconds of contemplation, he reluctantly replied, "Upondra's grudge has reached the peak of Tianhua, and his strength is comparable to that of a sword-wielding sword among human beings." Compared with the Marquis, if I use the ability to rebuke the undead, I can make him stand still for about two heartbeats at most...or a little shorter, but just now...the interval of one-tenth of a heartbeat was not even there, Eupondra was killed by that black-armored knight, how do I compare?"

"So it's probably on the same level?" The Lord of Berserker opened his mouth wide, showing an evil smile, "Anyway, Anriot, you should know those disgusting undead magic better than me, that I will leave the gray robe to you, and let me deal with the black armored knight."

"Then please be more careful, and don't repeat the failure of His Majesty Yinchen Samael." The corrupt lord sneered and retorted, then his eyes fell on the battlefield, and there was only one place where the swords clashed. The two high-level death knights stood back to back, frantically resisting blows from all directions.One of them was extraordinarily tall, and the two-handed giant sword he swung was half a meter longer than ordinary models, forming a dense sword net whizzing back and forth like a hurricane; the other death knight looked much more ordinary, and his hands were just A Scourge Knight's standard saber, but its swordsmanship is very superb, tricky and ferocious like a lone wolf, a high-ranking Griffin Knight who looks like a team leader recklessly rushed over to him for a close attack, the sword As a result of the blade colliding more than a dozen times, the head of the Griffon Knight was forcibly chopped off, and the headless corpse staggered back several steps before falling on its back.

This scene obviously dissatisfied the black-armored knight beside Li Weiston. He yelled a few words in a low voice, and then the griffin knights who were participating in the siege retreated one after another, and the fierce clanging sound disappeared.However, this does not mean that the two death knights have saved their lives, because the black-armored knights have been approaching slowly, and at the same time pulled out the two-handed giant sword with their backhands, holding it like a dark night starry sky.

"It's time, everyone is ready to launch a meteor fire shower!" The corrupt lord Anliot suddenly raised his hands and ordered loudly at the same time.Dozens of abyssal alchemists and abyssal balrogs appeared in the dark shelter following his orders, and the low-pitched chanting of abyssal spells lingered in his ears.

Ramston, the Lord of Berserker, also stretched out his hands to condense his magic power, but because he is a legendary powerhouse, he does not need to recite spells when casting meteor fire rain magic, so he still has the leisure to taunt, "Ann Liote, aren't you going to give the two Scourge knights the honor of dying in the hands of a powerful enemy? Maybe we can see the interesting scene of how they struggled to survive in front of the legendary strong man."

"After the little griffin is eliminated, you can watch this scene as much as you want." The mad warrior lord does not need to recite the spell, and of course the corrupt lord Anliott does not need it, he answered while gathering in his hands There was a group of abyss fire.However, since he hadn't used magic other than the undead system for a long time, Fiercefire's cohesion was actually not much stronger than those of the Alchemists and Balrogs around him, which completely failed to reflect his strength as a legendary spellcaster. "Sarabel, the deputy head of the Scourge Knights, and Hespros, the lone wolf of the dusk, are your true honor to sacrifice their lives for the great monarch's grand plan! Launch, meteor fire rain!"

Compared with the flame magic of the same name in the seventh ring, the meteor fire rain cast by the abyss demon with its natural ability has a slightly narrower strike area, but its power is more sinister and terrifying. features.Although it was only the seventh-ring magic, when it was cast from dozens of demons at the same time, the scene was simply more gorgeous than any legendary magic.The red and black fireballs instantly reflected the sky above the battlefield into a gloomy red light, just like the night of final judgment in the doomsday prophecy suddenly descended, pouring down the annihilation that cleans all living beings. World fire.

The damage of the meteor fire shower is relatively simple. According to the knowledge of the corrupt lord Anliott, there are at least ten kinds of magic that can resist the concentrated bombing of the meteor fire rain, and he himself can cast three of them.But these magics require at least half an hour of preparation time to be cast, and the little griffin and his men don't even have a minute to react, let alone half an hour.

In other words, there is no temporary magic barrier or instant protective spell that can block such a terrifying magic blow, even if it comes from a legendary spellcaster, it doesn't make any sense.The legendary powerhouse can only keep himself from being seriously injured under such a terrifying blow, maybe he can save one or two more people, but obviously he can't save the lives of more than 200 Griffin Knights on the battlefield.

Therefore, the demons who jointly created this catastrophe all looked down at the battlefield with satisfied expressions. The abyss alchemists who prefer close combat are ready to dive down. As long as most of the smoke and fire caused by the explosion dissipate, they are ready Launch a fierce attack on those who survived the blow of the meteor fire rain; the Abyssal Balrog, who tends to cast spells, is chanting another spell, forming a huge red and black mask over the battlefield, except for the demons within the range In addition to the strengthening of creatures, it can also play a role in restricting the effectiveness of all space teleportation magic.

This plan was tightly linked, leaving no chance for the other party to escape.The corrupt lord Anliott deeply believed that even the two legendary powerhouses beside the Griffin Lord Li Weiston were stronger than himself and the Berserker Lord Ramston. After the attack, it will inevitably suffer damage, and there are dozens of powerful high-ranking demon nobles participating in the siege, victory is simply a doomed result.

The guess of the corrupt lord Anliott is correct, the premise is that the meteor fire rain can fall on the head of the Griffin Knights.Countless bolides crashed down with wild laughter from hell, but the moment they were about to touch the ground, the battlefield where corpses were lying everywhere just now dissipated like a bubble that had been punctured—broken swords, shattered The cracked armor, the blood flowing freely, the corpses of the lying knights and horses, and the living including Li Wei, the black armor knight, the gray robe mage, the two death knights and all the griffin knights, all Everything in the world disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty wilderness wasteland!
