Heart of the Castle

Chapter 744

The commander of the Dark Fortress Demon Army, one of the seven lords of the abyss, Charlie Manton, the lord of terror, sat on the obsidian throne, resting his chin on his right hand, and tapped his left hand on his knee seemingly casually.A group of succubus dancers in cool costumes danced lightly in front of him, their slender and flexible waists were completely exposed, and every time they turned their bodies or bent down to bow down, they would throw soft winks at the throne.

No matter from the aesthetic point of view of humans or demons, these succubi are extremely beautiful, and their movements have a certain evil charm. Even the several abyssal demon lords standing on both sides of the obsidian throne seem a little out of their minds , the blood flames in the eyes were soaring, if it wasn't for the fearful lord's fierce reputation, he might have jumped on him recklessly.Demonstrate your capital as a male in public.

However, their charm has no effect on the horror lord Charlie Manton. The commander of the magic army is completely distracted from the obsidian palace that echoes the melody. On the considerable human coalition.In his heart, which has always been full of killing, tyranny and bloodthirsty, an indescribable strange emotion is slowly growing.

Sitting on the obsidian throne under him is uncomfortable, although the backrest and armrests of the throne are inlaid with expensive magic gemstones, and they form a powerful magic circle with each other, which looks extremely majestic.But this throne was designed for people with smaller bodies. Charlie Manton felt that the magic gemstones under his buttocks were extremely hard, and the backrest was covered with scorching magic lines, making it impossible for people to lean on.

This discomfort mixed with the strange emotion in his heart exacerbated the irritability of the lord of fear. He suddenly stood up from the obsidian throne and let out a furious roar.The music stopped, and the demon servants and succubus dancers all fell to their knees, prostrate before the Dreadlord.The demon lords who had seats on both sides of the throne couldn't help looking at each other, wondering where Charlie Mandon's anger came from.

The Lord of Terror stretched out his hand towards the void in front of him, and the space twisted violently into a vortex. The core of the vortex gradually expanded, revealing a dark night sky full of cold stars.There was a sound of shock, and the black wind blowing from the vortex swept the entire hall. The light gauze dress on the succubus dancer was torn almost to pieces, and the flames on the Balrog fluttered like a flag, licking the obsidian wall.

The Lord of Terror plunged his right hand into the vortex of space, and the fragments slashed across the thick magic armor, making a series of sharp friction sounds that could not help but be heard. When he withdrew his right hand, he tightly held a huge , The ferocious black long sword, with cruel hooks all over the blade, exudes unbearable heat.A closer look reveals that the sword is not made of any known metal, but is composed entirely of black Fiendfyre compressed into a solid body.

"You are afraid, Charlie Manton." A voice suddenly rang in the ear of the lord of terror. The tone was soft and soothing, and the voice was sweet and pleasant. It seemed that every word had the power of seductive charm. "Sit down and drink a glass of blood first, you look so ugly, you are almost frightening the children under me."

Charlie Manton was stunned at first, and then his anger rose again, "Don't play such ridiculous tricks, Ms. Cang Ye, the Charm Master!" His delicate neck was immediately severed by the blade, and before his head landed, it was surrounded by raging fire, and turned into a ball of scorched black ashes in an instant. "I warn you, the price of trying to shake the mind of the Lord of Terror is too heavy, and you will never be able to afford it!"

"You who will repay your kindness and revenge, can't you feel that I am comforting you?" The tragic death of the succubus dancer caused a cry of surprise and panic in the obsidian hall, but for Ms. Cang Ye She didn't care at all, as if the headless body lying there was not one of her right-hand men, but an unrelated passerby. "Charlie Manton, your voice is disturbed, and your expression is worried. Whether you want to admit it or not, in fact, this is not the same as you usually are."

"I am Charlie Manton, Lord of Terror, the commander of the abyss who brings fear to all human beings! Fear—this kind of weak emotion cannot appear in my heart!" The roar of fury came under the dome of the Obsidian Temple The reverberation continued, and the Lord of Terror seemed to feel that his emotions were a little too intense, and the long sword in his hand hung down, "It's just a strange feeling, a feeling that I can't describe."

"That's fear." A mocking smile appeared on Ms. Cang Ye's fair and beautiful face, "Charlie Manton, this is not surprising. All life has its fears, and you are no exception."

The black fiery sword light flashed again, and a succubus dancer was chopped off at the waist. The tenacious vitality of the demon family prevented her from being killed immediately, but fell to the ground and rolled, and at the same time let out one after another desperate and shrill screams.

"This is fear!" The lord of terror suddenly turned his head, and pointed the fiendish sword at the soft figure in a white robe, "Ms. Cang Ye, do you want to taste the same taste?"

The charming lord let out a soft and tender smile, and the thick and moist long hair on the back of his neck like a melting golden waterfall flew up with the laughter, "Don't do this, my dear Charlie Manton, if you want to kiss Fangze, You don't need to use the power of the sword of Fiercefire to threaten at all."

The Lord of Terror let out a low growl of annoyance, and swung his sword suddenly. The whole obsidian palace trembled in front of the slashing sword blade, and the scorching air swept through everything like a raging wave. Only the most powerful abyss alchemists The lord was able to barely stand on his feet. "Ms. Cang Ye, if you can't come up with any useful suggestions for the current situation, get the hell out of here! Remember to take away those weak succubus cubs under your command!"

An inexplicable interest flashed in Ms. Cang Ye's eyes, and then she lowered her head slightly, "You are the commander of the dark fortress appointed by the Abyssal Monarch, Charlie Mandun, I will obey your orders here. But not this time, Those human troops have already started a tentative attack on the fortress."

"Gods be damned!" Charlie Manton spat hard at his feet, and the purple-black saliva burned immediately after landing, crackling the obsidian that could resist the high temperature of the crater, as if what he spit out was a mouthful of burning oil like. "What are you waiting for? Blow the horn, beat the drums, and mobilize the incinerator troops. I want to let those stupid humans who dare to challenge the majesty of the dreadful lord taste the taste of fear again!"

When the Lord of Terror walked out of the obsidian hall with angry strides, he even felt a little excited in his heart.He was excited by the hasty attack of the human army, and even more excited by the strange feeling in his heart—not fear—that had been covered by the tyrannical blood flowing in his body.

It was still early, and pale mist rose from the slowly flowing water of the Oath River, drifting towards the Dark Fortress under the influence of the morning wind; under the early morning light, about twenty thousand heavily armed The human troops assembled in the east of the dark fortress, forming two square formations hundreds of meters away from each other, like setting up two huge iron-clad fists on the banks of the oath river; several giant siege vehicles with a height of 30 meters followed on the left side. At the back of the formation, the height of the wheels alone surpassed a knight with a man and a horse; on the top floor of the siege vehicle were placed alchemy catapults and ballistas with complex structures and strange shapes, and a group of small men in khaki robes were Busy around, pushing each other, and from time to time a few accidentally stepped on the air, although they were pulled by the rope tied around their waists, so as not to fall and fall into meatloaf, but there were bursts of ear-piercing screams Voice.

The Lord of Terror turned his ferocious head with huge curved horns, and his blood-red eyes revealed deep doubts, "Captain Bath!" He pointed at the siege vehicles with a finger, and said in a deep voice growled, "Tell me, what are those little people?"

Team leader Bass is a powerful Winged Demon Annihilator, and one of the best scouting captains under the Lord of Terror. If it wasn't because his strength was still inferior to that of the superior demon nobles, with the merits he had obtained, he would have It should be the Demon General. "Your Majesty Charles Manton, those are goblins, the goblin slaves of the Griffin Lord in the north."

"Damn the gods, where did those humans capture so many goblins? Could it be used as cannon fodder to attract firepower?" An abyssal demon lord asked suspiciously, while spitting out a mouthful of poisonous sulfur fire.

"Goblins stink, even if they are roasted, they don't taste good." The two-headed horned demon warlord wearing a heavy steel armor covered with spikes said, nodding his two huge heads.

"In any case, Your Majesty Charlie Manton, please give me a battle order." The Bass team leader bowed deeply, "Those goblins will not cause much trouble, although they seem to be smarter than ordinary goblins, but The same carelessness, I even wondered whether it was stones they threw on the top of the city with their catapults, or their brainless companions."

The terror lord Charlie Manton didn't reply right away. He stepped on the crenel of the Dark Fortress's wall with his right foot, leaned half of his body outside, and narrowed his eyes to examine the lineup of the human army.There are some strange things about human beings' practices, which puzzled the abyss lord who led the army and experienced many battles. The number of demon defenders in the dark fortress is more than 2, and this is only counting the number of elite teams, which is as many as several times The cannon fodder has not been counted.No matter how elite the siege human army is, at least one hundred thousand troops are needed to have any chance of winning. A mere 2 people is simply a joke, but if it is a tentative attack, the scale of [-] people seems too large.

What's even more strange is that the 2 people were divided into two square formations with equal numbers, and the distance between each other reached hundreds of meters. Not to mention coordinated operations, even taking care of each other was very difficult.Charlie Manton suddenly showed a ferocious and vicious smile. He found the only explanation for the formation of the human army. These two human troops are all on guard against each other. In other words, the 10-man army The human coalition forces in China are simply incompatible.

The golden morning sun rises from the eastern horizon, and the ground under the feet gradually turns from black to dark blue, and then gradually turns into brighter and more colorful colors.A long and deep sound of military horns sounded from a distance, and the melody seemed to be full of mourning, which made people feel chills.With the sound of the horn, the phalanx of two human troops began to move, slowly approaching the dark fortress.The light cavalry with horned bows ran at the front of the phalanx, followed by other troops that gradually spread out. It looked as if two giant steel fists were slowly spreading their five fingers, swords, spear points, shields and armor Glittering in the morning light.

What surprised the Lord of Terror was that the speed of those siege vehicles was no slower than that of the heavy armored infantry holding fine steel spears. The huge wheels crushed the ground and made a loud noise like rolling thunder. The 40-meter-high obsidian city wall will indeed bring a sense of uneasy deterrence.

The Dreadlord raised the sword of Fiendfire, and the black light of the sword drew a circle on his head.The demon trumpeter, who was familiar with his movements, immediately blew the bone horn in his hand. The sound was different from the low-pitched military horn blown by humans, and it was extremely high-pitched, sharp, and unruly.Countless incinerators rushed up the city wall like a turbid wave of red and black, with about one-tenth of the number of hellfire demons mixed in.These masters of manipulating the flame element can launch a dense bursting fireball strike every ten seconds, but this time their task is not to directly attack the human troops, but to prepare for those who are preparing to collectively launch the meteor fire shower. The Abyssal Balrogs provide enough fire element power.

Half a year ago, the tens of thousands of Abrahamic troops suffered heavy blows here. The meteor fire rain cast by the Abyssal Balrog was as powerful as the magic of the same name cast by the Great Magister. The special effect of fire burning the soul.Each meteor fire shower can drop hundreds of red and black fire meteors, and the scene of tens of thousands of burning meteors falling from the sky is both beautiful and terrifying. The earth poured out a world-killing fire that cleansed all living beings.

For those human soldiers who were smashed to pieces in the explosion, the superimposed scene of hundreds of meteors and fire showers is indeed no different from the sudden arrival of the final judgment night in the doomsday prophecy.The flame elements provided by the Hell Flame Demon and the Burner can greatly prolong the duration of the meteor fire rain. Even if the human side prepares in advance and can create a large magic shield that covers the entire army, it may not be able to last for half an hour. Persevere to the end under the intensive bombing.

What's more, it doesn't take half an hour at all. The first few rounds of meteor bombing alone can make the morale of ordinary soldiers drop to the bottom. It only takes a few minutes at most. Except for those knights with fighting spirit power, Charlie? Thinking how many soldiers will be able to hold on under the great terror, the shaking of the front and the subsequent collapse are absolutely inevitable.

The human phalanx is still two kilometers away, and they may not know that as long as they advance another 500 meters, they will step into the death trap set by the devil.The fate of the vast majority of them will not be better than that of the Abrahams. Even if they don't even try to touch the gate of the dark fortress, they will be smashed to pieces in a sea of ​​fire, and finally their flesh and bones will be reduced to ashes.

The advancing pace of the human phalanx on the left suddenly slowed down, and then with the sound of rumbling wheels, those huge siege vehicles slowly advanced to the forefront of the team, and then some people wearing sky blue appeared on the top of the siege vehicles. Priests in black and khaki priestly robes raised their arms to the sky and began to pray aloud.

Seeing that the sky above the human phalanx was covered by two transparent shields of divine power, Charlie Manton, the lord of terror, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't believe at all that after the Abrahams experienced such a fiasco, the human side would not come up with corresponding countermeasures.

The Dreadlord gave a sinister smile.These two divine power shields have very obvious sacred attributes, and under the prayers of hundreds of high-ranking clergymen, they have a very strong protective ability, even for a legendary demon lord like Charlie Mandon, who wants to break These two divine power shields will also be quite difficult.But if hundreds of meteors and fire showers landed at the same time, Charlie Mandun was looking forward to seeing the spectacular scene of those high-level priests being blown to pieces by the backlashing divine power after the divine power shield was instantly shattered.

"Your Majesty Charlie Manton, do you want to send cannon fodder troops to have a confrontation with those humans like last time?" an abyss demon refining general reminded him with the most respectful attitude he could show.

"There is no need to do this. Although the life of the cannon fodder troops is low, it does not mean that it should be wasted." The Lord of Terror shook his head without thinking, "Our opponent had a lot of cavalry last time, so I sent out The cannon fodder troops entangled with them. But this time it was different. Those humans assumed a posture of attacking. Even if some cavalry escaped, it didn’t matter. Definitely a fatal blow to morale."

"The human forward is 500 meters away!" Captain Bass flapped his bat-like wings and descended from the sky while reporting loudly.

The corners of the mouth of the Lord of Terror Charlie Manton twisted due to bloodthirsty, although his original smile was ferocious enough, and then he raised the sword of Fiercefire again. "It's now, the Balrog army, prepare to..."

In the opposite phalanx of northern troops, Griffin Lord Levi Ston also raised the knight sword in his hand, and issued an order almost exactly the same as that of the Dreadlord in the telepathic communication.

"……start!"
