Heart of the Castle

Chapter 858 Tarlon, The Longest Day ([-])
Throughout the morning, wave after wave of daemon teams lashed down the narrow ramps towards the second wall of Tarlon Fortress.The thick-skinned horned demon warlord roared and rushed to the front, waving the iron hook with chains in his hand; followed by the guards of the abyss equipped with heavy armor and jagged swords, their heavy footsteps made a rumble that shook the earth There was a loud noise; while the nimble and agile Cerberus galloped on the almost right-angled city wall, looking for any weak spots on the defense line.

Tens of thousands of demons participated in each attack, and the momentum was so fierce that it seemed that they could swallow the second wall of Taalon Fortress and the thousands of defenders above it at any time.But all that awaited them were hammers and swords and axes, and death, cold and merciless death.

The huge body of the horned demon warlord was pierced by multiple sharp blades, shaking and fell down; the guard of the abyss screamed and fell from the top of the city, the thick armor and the rancid flesh underneath smashed to pieces on the hard ground; Even the high speed can't save their lives. The fortress defenders entertained them with dense arrows like a storm. Few of the corpses were just nailed with one or two sun-rayed long arrows.

The Eternal Sleep Guide, Ku Ximo, had a very rich harvest this morning. At least tens of thousands of demon souls emitting the stench of sulfur were sucked into the Kingdom of Eternal Night. In contrast, the guards of the fortress also paid the price of thousands of lives. The purple blood from the demons mixed with the red blood from humans, and flowed wantonly along the ramps and gutters, almost changing the second city wall.

The commander-in-chief of the Judgment Hammer Knights made Layton always fight in the most intense place of the battle. The heavy sun-rayed hammer wielding in both hands was mighty, like a thunderbolt. Where his majestic figure appeared, the demon rushing up the city wall was not Screaming and retreating, he collapsed to the ground under the slam of the Riman Warhammer, his head exploded like a rotten watermelon.

A group of the most elite guardian knights closely followed Chief Jean Leighton, just like a pack of wolves guarding the wolf king, including Zabiro of the Steady Shield and Zorax of the Holy Armor. Vice President.They were all killing non-stop, and the demons they passed screamed and rolled down the city.The most dazzling one is a burly man wearing a bishop's robe outside his armor. Bishop Roander ignores the demon minions who are close at hand, and every time he swings his war hammer, he will let out an ecstatic roar, which can even make the most vicious The devil felt chills in his heart.

The one with the most brilliant results was not Bishop Roander, Zabiro and Drax, or even Commander Jean Layton.A Deldes knight wearing inconspicuous gray armor followed like a shadow behind Chief Jean Leighton, and he could hardly be seen raising the long sword in his hand, as if he was worried about the surging demon army. fear.

However, only a few people can witness it with their own eyes. When the lord-level demon commander appeared on the city wall with the rising fireball, the Deldes knight followed Mr. Layton with astonishingly agile steps. The group leader rushed forward together, the speed of the long sword moving was dizzyingly fast, easily breaking through the strong protection of the demon commander, leaving a small wound that was almost hard to find on their neck or forehead.

After an interval of at most one heartbeat, Commander Layton's Sunlight Warhammer slammed hard on the head of the demon leader who suddenly froze in his movements. The shattered head and burst flesh wiped out all traces.

Ramsdong, the mad warrior lord, was surrounded by a real abyss of fiendish flames, looking gloomy at the tragic battlefield churning like a vortex of flesh and blood, the bloody flames in his eyes almost shot out from their sockets. "Fourteen." He spat out a number hoarsely, his tone as heavy as if it was a poisonous stone.

"My side is Sixteen." The dread lord Charlemagne, wearing a hideous and terrifying abyss-stained copper armor, replied, his voice was particularly dull through the thick face armor, "Sixteen lords Demon Commander, plus the elite team of thousands of people they lead... The bottomless abyss is below, this force is enough to destroy a large human kingdom, how can that fortress stand still?"

"General Igor's aura has disappeared, the gods should die, fifteen!" Ramsdon spat viciously at his feet, "If this continues, all the lords under my command will be wiped out by those humans. gone."

Although the words of the Berserker Lord are slightly exaggerated, it is not impossible.The Abyss Demon Realm is said to be bottomless, and there are countless planes. However, the plane lords who submit to the seven abyss lords are not endless. Many abyss planes are so barren that there is no room for any living things to survive, and some abyss planes The environment is extremely harsh, and the resulting life response is very low-end, and he does not have the qualifications to become a plane lord at all.

Even with the subordinates of the fallen charming lord Cang Ye, the corrupt lord Anriot, and the treacherous lord Shakross who has lost his qualifications as the abyss lord, there are only about fifty lord-level abyssal demons under the command of the mad warrior lord. The number of abyss lords under the command of the Lord of Terror is about the same.During the fierce battle throughout the morning, the number of fallen abyss lords was close to one-third of the total, and the city wall in front of them was still firmly in the hands of the human side.

"You're right, it won't work if things go on like this, we must increase the pressure, more pressure!" Charlemagne, the Lord of Terror, nodded in agreement, "Regardless of whether those human beings hide legendary powerhouses or not, we must immediately end the current Stalemate, otherwise, the morale of the troops will be severely damaged after the losses are further expanded. Ramston, you continue to supervise the battle here, and I will report to His Majesty the Great Monarch Amur Hydras, requesting that one of you and me personally take action .”

"Do you still need to report it?" The Lord of Berserk frowned and thought about it for a while, and then replied reluctantly, "Okay, but you have to hurry up, otherwise I can't guarantee whether I can bear it." how long."

In the demon camp behind the fatal pass, the hall of the commander's wheel palace that served as the headquarters was silent, and the atmosphere seemed particularly depressing.The semi-incorporeal figure of the deceitful lord Shakros sat on the ghost crystal throne, and two clusters of dark green undead flames stared at the bloody crystal ball in front of him.The fierce battle scene on Taalon Fortress appeared in the bloody light of the crystal ball. Although the picture was distorted and trembling from time to time, it was still generally clear.

The battle situation is not optimistic.Shacross tapped nervously on the fingers formed by the condensed smoke. The attack of the demon army was not without results. There have been more than a dozen demonic footholds on the second city wall, but the attempt to further expand the results was defeated by the human army. Definitely crushed.The demon army has paid a heavy price for every meter of advancement, and as long as they relax a little, the defenders will respond with crazy counterattacks, and the results of the past few 10 minutes are often destroyed in one go.

And that damn Hammer of Judgment Knights!

Shacross let out a mouthful of icy breath, and the surrounding hot air instantly condensed into steaming white smoke.No matter how tenacious and tenacious the defenders of Tarlon Fortress were, if there were no Knights of Judgment Hammer to put out the fire everywhere, they would have been completely defeated by the demon army.However, whenever the demonic team on the top of the city formed a certain size, this group of guardian knights rushed towards them like the hammer of anger swung by the gods in the sky. A terrible blow to the demon team, the demon army that has just formed a scale is shattered and cracked like a crystal being violently hammered, and the foothold that was finally won is often lost.

Of course, the demon army, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, will not be reconciled to failure. So far, Shakross has issued three orders to "assemble and assault". .The first time was four, the second time was eight, and the third time... that was just over ten minutes ago, twenty abyss lords leaped onto the wall of Fort Tarlon with the help of flames, The crystal ball shows that around the Judgment Hammer Knights, a huge wave of flames rises and sweeps tens of meters at the same time, just like the legendary doomsday catastrophe that suddenly descends, and will turn Tarlon Fortress and the tenacious defenders into nothingness. ash.

The walls of Tallon Fortress trembled under the frightening force of the whip, but before Shackles' smile spread from the corner of his mouth to his entire face, the picture inside the crystal ball suddenly trembled again and again, and then twisted into a ball that could not be recognized at all of light and shadow.

Shacross's heart suddenly sank. The video crystal ball is a product of high-level alchemy, and it will only be temporarily ineffective unless it is interfered by magic, magic, or supernatural powers that reach the strength of the ninth level or higher.Although the video crystal ball has been disturbed countless times since the beginning of the battle, this time it made him feel a strange panic, as if something unexpected was happening.

Shacklecross took a deep breath, and Smoke's fingers stroked the surface of the crystal ball. After a strange light flashed, the distorted picture seemed to stabilize a little bit, but before it was time to take a breath, Shacklebolt was like He withdrew his hand suddenly as if being burned by a raging fire, and the first half of the fingers formed by the condensation of five smokes had disappeared without a trace!

"This is... gods be damned, powerful light power, and has an unimaginable degree of purity, it can be said to be..." Shackles' face twisted, and light gray light was escaping from the broken parts of the five fingers. Smoke, that meant that the wounds he suffered could not be healed for a while, and his soul power suffered a continuous loss as a result.

Shackles spit out a series of rapid abyss spells, and as the wound flickered with black and red light, the escape of the smoke was finally stagnated, and almost at the same time, the picture in the crystal ball suddenly recovered .

However, this does not mean that Shakros will be happy. His expression became more bitter. Almost all the pictures in the crystal ball were stained red by dark purple blood, while more than a dozen abyss lords were lying horizontally and vertically. In the middle of the dead bodies, the tall figure holding the golden Sunlight Warhammer in his hand was even more dazzling.

The third "Assault Assault", which gathered the power of twenty abyss lords, failed completely!

　Xiao Shen is very busy today, and the number of words owed will be filled up tomorrow.
