A Realistic Mount & Blade Game
#80 - The Demonic Army Appears
“Heh heh heh!”
“Roar roar roar roar roar!”
The entire area outside the city wall instantly transformed into a playground for rampaging abyss demons!
Countless roars deafened the ears!
Moreover, the abyss rift in the sky, with its enormous dark-red fiery pupil, still hung high, emitting a dark-red light.
At the edge of the rift, magma rain dripped and drizzled down like raindrops.
‘Rumble!’ Beneath this enormous abyss rift, spanning several miles,
the intact Blue Star buildings were showered by the drizzling magma rain.
It was as if cold butter met a hot butter knife.
Ice cubes met hot nails.
The dark-red magma raindrops, still burning with flames and shimmering with ominous light, rapidly corroded the Blue Star buildings upon contact, turning them into riddled ruins in less than half a moment.
In an instant, all the stress points and load-bearing parts of the entire building were completely corroded, and it collapsed on the spot, turning into ruins!
Even after collapsing into ruins, they were still being assimilated by the magma raindrops.
Furthermore, the entire ground was transformed into a landscape resembling churning magma!
It directly covered this large area, turning it into a blackened, scab-like ground, filled with rolling magma, billowing black smoke, and permeated with poisonous gas.
A scene belonging to the abyss, the home of demons, a chaotic and evil paradise!
‘Buzz!’
Necromantic rules converged, causing countless magma raindrops to float and coalesce together.
In a short time, a huge lava throne, about half the size of a small apartment building, was formed behind the demon army!
On the throne, a massive dark-red crystal, entwined with flames, appeared.
‘Buzz!’
The demons below roared even more excitedly the moment this massive dark-red crystal appeared.
Looking at the human territory in front of them, protected by moats and city walls,
each one of them had bloodshot eyes, filled with excitement.
They couldn't wait any longer…
They wanted to fight!
“Demon Legion.”
Shen Mu stood on the turret of the castle's main building, slowly speaking without any expression on his face.
He was very calm.
The more critical the moment, the calmer and more composed Shen Mu's emotions became.
This was perhaps one of his advantages.
However, Shen Mu's heart was also on high alert.
Because at this moment, Shen Mu discovered that when the abyss rift, shimmering with dark-red light and resembling an eye in the sky, appeared with countless dark-red flames intertwining to form an eyeball,
the originally solid turret beneath his feet, made of reinforced concrete, actually trembled slightly.
When Shen Mu looked down, he also noticed that on this turret, at some point…
small cracks had appeared.
And there was a rustling of cement powder.
As a gentle breeze blew from behind, it scattered around.
Clearly, this originally extremely solid concrete turret had undergone special, subtle, but definitely existing, negative changes due to the arrival of the Black Tide and its powerful necromantic rules!
“Is this the 'rule erosion' that Zhang Song from Green Leaf Corporation mentioned?”
Shen Mu frowned even more.
At this moment, he thought of Zhang Song's words, never to trust Blue Star buildings.
Boots made of calfskin and chainmail gently crunched on the ground.
At this time, even more cement powder on the surface of the turret was lightly crushed open by his foot, directly forming spiderweb-like cracks, and even the surface began to peel off.
“……” Shen Mu realized that this was the appearance of a reinforced concrete building that had not been maintained for at least 10 years!
And the time since it was smooth and hard, and extremely reliable to stomp on…
was only a mere ten minutes!
“Every Black Tide represents a devastation of Blue Star buildings by necromantic rules.”
Shen Mu pursed his lips.
Now, he discovered that this devastation seemed to directly consume the designed lifespan of Blue Star buildings, accelerating their aging process!
However, Shen Mu felt that there were other negative effects as well, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
However, there was no way to investigate this matter in detail now.
Because on the zigzag slope below the turret, Bandak and Fatis, who had already simply arranged the soldiers' defense work, had returned due to the appearance of the demon army.
“Lord Shen Mu.”
“Lord Shen Mu.”
Both of their faces were extremely solemn.
They saw the enormous demon force that had appeared outside the east side of the city wall, composed of over 2000 abyss demons of various types, brandishing their claws, howling loudly, and looking like they wanted to launch an attack!
“Report on the city defense situation.” Shen Mu directly cut to the chase, without continuing with formalities.
“Based on the main direction of the demon army, I have arranged for 50 mercenary crossbowmen and 30 Vaegir archers to be heavily deployed in the area of the east city wall, along with 200 Swadian militiamen also equipped with hunting crossbows to assist in the defense.”
Bandak immediately reported in a deep voice: “100 Swadian militiamen have also been stationed on the west and south city walls respectively.”
“Very good.” Shen Mu nodded, this was a reasonable arrangement when the enemy's main attack direction was unknown.
Bandak continued to report: “At the locations of the east and west city gates, there are also a total of 4 light ballistae. If the situation is urgent, they can be arranged as reserves at any time. 95 members of the Lake Rat Gang will transfer these 4 light ballistae to the corresponding city walls or castle towers.”
Bandak also pointed to the 50 Swadian recruits lined up behind him, under the zigzag slope of the castle turret, and said:
“I plan to use these recruits as messengers. If there are any changes in the battlefield situation, these recruits can be sent to convey your orders at any time, or relay the battlefield reports from me and Knight Fatis to you.”
This arrangement was indeed very appropriate.
Fatis at his side also spoke at this time:
“Lord Shen Mu, Mr. Bandak and I have discussed that I will serve as your personal guard captain, commanding the Swadian soldiers to protect you. At the same time, when the enemy may break through the city gate, or when restraining and harassing the enemy's forces, I will lead the Swadian heavy cavalry to attack.”
“Yes, very good.” Shen Mu nodded, confirming the arrangements and command authority of the two.
The intensity of the battlefield has now increased.
It was no longer the time when Shen Mu alone could command a force of no more than 200 people to fight in the apartment.
Shen Mu needed generals to replace part of his command authority and lead the soldiers to fight.
The appearance of Bandak and Fatis.
Undoubtedly made up for this point.
“Let's go, let's go take a look at the east side of the city wall.” Shen Mu thought of this and had no intention of continuing to sit in the rear.
He led the two to the east side of the city wall.
50 Swadian recruits as messengers, and 32 Swadian soldiers as guards, strictly carried out the previous plan at this time, closely following Shen Mu, Bandak, and Fatis.
Of course, the Swadian soldiers were specifically responsible for Shen Mu's guard work.
The 50 Swadian recruits were divided into three parts, and then distributed to Shen Mu, Bandak, and Fatis as messengers.
Arriving at the city wall.
First were the 200 Swadian militiamen, the largest in number, all holding hunting crossbows in their hands, standing scattered on the 5-meter-wide city wall, looking at the demon army outside that was still clamoring, roaring angrily and excitedly, without any fear.
Even under the gaze of the abyss rift that had spread to several miles, resembling the eyes of a demon god.
These soldiers from the Mount \u0026 Blade world.
Also stood still!
Even like the demon forces outside who were eager for fighting and blood.
These Swadian militiamen, who had just arrived at the second-tier troops and were eager to make contributions and improve their ranks again, were all eager to start fighting as soon as possible!
Among these 200 Swadian militiamen, the 50 mercenary crossbowmen and 30 Vaegir archers were relatively silent.
They knew the importance of the matter, and also understood the tricky situation they faced.
However, there was still not much fear in their eyes.
Instead, they were all silently calculating how many crossbow bolts and arrows were in their quivers, and how they could effectively kill the enemy in the upcoming battle.
Among them were some crossbowmen who had been promoted from hired sentries.
And those hired sentries had participated in battles against those demonic forces back in the apartment era, knowing that these seemingly terrifying demons still had blood, flesh, and life, and could still be killed by the war crossbows in their hands!
Those little demons were shot and killed on the spot by their hunting crossbows.
Now.
Even when facing not those weak little demons, but groups of various kinds, looking even more terrifying, with even hundreds of horned demons.
They still knew that as long as they shot those crossbow bolts from the war crossbows in their hands.
They could still kill the enemy!
This calm state of mind greatly calmed the surrounding Viglia archers and Swadian militia.
On the entire city wall, there was no more whispering, and everyone looked up at those demons.
Their faces were resolute.
All were ready for battle!
And just ahead, hundreds of meters away, within the massive demon legion, the originally noisy hissing and roaring sounds seemed to have noticed something, and they all quieted down.
As if they had sensed something.
Or rather.
These abyssal demons, influenced by the will of the abyss, had received the signal of the imminent arrival of the higher demon!
This is the ability extended by the higher beings of the abyss after inheriting part of the authority of the will of the abyss.
They knew.
That a higher being was about to descend!
So, whether it was the horned demon with muscles all over, holding a large hammer and axe, and with huge goat horns.
Or the chain demons from the abyss, with countless thick or thin iron chains wrapped around their bodies from head to toe, tall and thin, and hunched over, holding scimitars.
Or the Greater Quasit, which was more than two meters tall, with a fat belly but muscular limbs and back, holding a long-handled wolf's tooth club.
Or the snake demon, who had a strong upper body like a human, but a huge snake-like lower body, wielding two scimitars.
Or the Babau demon, which was more than two meters tall, but extremely thin, seemingly full of muscles, holding an ugly long-bladed spear.
Plus the large-sized little demons, which were obviously four or five times larger than ordinary ones.
Demon hounds the size of calves, and so on, a series of demons, at this moment.
Actually, they all quieted down!
As if they were all prostrating and waiting for the arrival of the higher demon from the abyss rift.
"Hmph, hahahahaha!"
Because right above their heads, in the cracking abyss rift, in the eyes of the demon god, a tiny black spot, accompanied by the deafening laughter, had begun to fall from the dark red light.
With a 'bang!', it slammed onto the dark red lava throne.
Then, a higher Babau demon, more than four meters tall, dark red all over, all muscles, as if skinned, with sticky body fluids, was holding a long-bladed spear more than 3 meters long, and slowly straightened his back, standing on the edge of the throne.
Staring with those scarlet eyes, shaking its spiky, 4-meter-long tail, and opening its mouth full of sharp teeth to the roots of its ears.
It let out its excited and crazy, sharp laughter:
"Jie jie jie jie jie jie jie jie jie!"
"What an incredibly attractive... brand new... beautiful world!"
"So much sweet human flesh! Sweet blood! And the spirit world crystal core offered to the abyss lord!"
It was really ecstatic, really laughing wildly, really crazy to the point of extreme excitement!
So much so that this Babau demon, which was obviously one-third taller than ordinary Babau demons, and was obviously a leader-level Babau demon, jumped more than ten meters high and jumped into the demon legion of various kinds with a bang.
However, if you look at it at this time, you can also clearly find that.
The demons that make up this demon force in the largest number are precisely those tall and thin Babau demons, with dark red bodies, holding long-bladed spears, and full of hideousness and cruelty!
"Lord! Lord! Lord!" The Babau demons were also cheering and shouting at this time.
And the object.
Is this tall and thin Babau demon lord, who is pregnant with terrifying power and absolute dexterity!
This Babau demon lord, like a triumphant champion, raised his long-bladed spear high with both hands, and strode to squeeze open the demon troop groups that left a wide passage for him.
Finally came to the forefront.
Raised his head.
Looking at Shen Mu, who was surrounded by everyone on the city wall, the slender tongue licked the corner of his mouth full of sharp teeth, and slowly raised the long-bladed spear in his hand.
Then paused for half a second, and with the increasingly terrifying grin that cracked to the corner of his mouth.
"Kill!"
Directly waved the long-bladed spear forward, and also issued a sharp, excited order!
It was still an order to launch a general attack directly!
A complete general attack!
This higher Babau demon lord simply looked down on this Blue Star building, which seemed to have a 10-meter-high city wall, but in fact had no blocking effect on the demons.
He also looked down on this human army of less than a thousand people on the city wall.
These more than 2,000 demons are only a part of the demon army under his control.
There are more abyssal demons behind, and more and more little demons and quasits, these low-level demons have not been summoned.
"Kill these humans, plunder their souls, and forcibly occupy the crystal core of this human lord..."
This Babau demon lord stretched out his slender tongue, licking the corner of his mouth, watching the Babau demons of his own race rushing out quickly beside him, howling excitedly, and rushing forward with long-bladed spears.
His already crazy emotions were also ignited:
"As long as I sacrifice more souls, sacrifice more of the lord's crystal core that possesses the power of the spirit world rules, I will be able to gain the favor of the great abyss consciousness, and eventually be qualified to be promoted to the abyss lord!"
Thinking of the abyss lord, that is the terrifying power of the demon god level, completely mastered in his own hands.
No, it should be said that he is the abyss demon god.
In the eyes of this Babau demon lord, the crazy look became more and more excited:
"At that time, I will become the king of the Babau demons! The master of a certain layer of the bottomless abyss! Able to directly possess a demon army belonging to myself, completely destroying all those who dare to stand in my way... enemies!"
"Roar—!! !"
As if responding to the crazy thoughts of this Babau demon lord.
Countless demons who were still charging forward were now bathed in the lava rain flashing with dark red light and flames, and charged forward faster!
They haven't tasted the taste of fresh human flesh for a long time.
What's more, I don't know how long...
I haven't tasted the sweetness and tenderness of human brains, the smoothness in my mouth!
Now, these demon troops that appeared from the abyss rift and descended on Blue Star, there are countless demons waiting to descend behind, but they were preempted by these vanguard demons to descend.
They have already smelled the sweet smell of the human race on the city wall ahead.
And it is a real human race with genuine souls, which tastes extremely refreshing, can fill their stomachs, and make them extremely happy!
Not those who look almost like the human race.
In fact, they are fundamentally the same as stones and feces, even inferior to the feces of spirit world creatures, without any value, and without any soul fluctuations. It can be said that they are extremely rubbish Blue Star humans.
"Blood! Brain! Meat! Internal organs!"
There is already a Babau demon running extremely fast, holding a long-bladed spear, eager to have a good meal, as the distance approaches, he also sees the familiar human faces appearing on the city wall.
Then he grinned and showed a grim smile, and a hint of complacency in those scarlet eyes.
In the memory of fighting in the spirit world in the past.
Most of these human races are very weak.
Even if they have city walls, occupy castles, and defend in fortresses.
As long as they are not those human warriors who are covered in iron armor, armed to the teeth, and extremely powerful by practicing breathing techniques to become professionals.
Then these ordinary human races, as long as they rush forward, can deter a group.
They may even collapse on the spot due to fear.
Let these demons easily seize the city walls, and then completely slaughter the human troops and the human civilians in the city walls, turning them into a buffet restaurant where their abyssal demons can choose parts at will!
Just thinking about this makes these Babau demons extremely excited!
So the charging speed is even faster.
After all, these 2-meter-tall creatures, seemingly thin but actually all muscle with no fat, possess extremely high movement speed, making their maneuverability far superior to other clumsy types of Abyss Demons.
With their long legs striding forward, these Barbed Devils were clearly at the forefront of the charge!
However, it was just a 10-meter-high city wall.
A city wall in the world of Blue Star, devoid of souls, was as fragile as something built from thatched grass!
With just a few strikes, they could carve out a hole and climb up.
Then,
it would be their feast of slaughter!
Therefore, these Barbed Devils were truly rushing forward impatiently.
All for the sake of reaching the city wall as quickly as possible and enjoying the first wave of delicious flesh!
However, their plan was good, but when hundreds of Barbed Devils came within 200 meters, they discovered a flurry of figures on the city wall.
"Those humans are scared! Intimidated! Terrified!" the Barbed Devils cried out in their hearts with excitement.
Their two slender and powerful long legs moved even faster.
Then, they discovered that as the figures on the city wall moved, the humans now appearing before them seemed to be raising something and aiming it at them.
"Wait?" Some Barbed Devils, having had experience fighting humans, recognized the weapons that rarely appeared in the bottomless abyss.
Their faces changed slightly, and their original crazed appearance was now tinged with a bit of hesitation.
Moreover, among the crowd, two strange-looking things were pushed out.
And there were also two hastily moved, similar construct-like weapons that seemed to be loaded with spear-like objects, aiming at their charging position, just like the previous two.
Coupled with the hundreds, even more, human troops on the city wall, all raising and holding various weapons.
Several words suddenly appeared in the minds of these Abyss Demons:
"Crossbow!"
"Bow and arrow!"
"Ballista!"
But before these words could solidify in the minds of these Abyss Demons,
in front, the 50 mercenary crossbowmen and 30 Vaegir archers, already prepared on the city wall, saw the more than 2,000 Abyss Demons charging over in a vast and mighty formation.
Without a word, they immediately raised their war crossbows and bows, following Bandak's orders.
They unleashed a volley of crossbow bolts and arrows!
'Swish, swish, swish, swish—'
Then, countless black shadows, like a gust of darkness, crossed the distance of less than 200 meters in a few breaths, crashing down on the heads of the densely packed, charging Abyss Demons.
The trajectory of the crossbow bolts was slightly smaller, and after being fired from the war crossbows, they often went towards the chest, abdomen, and face.
The Barbed Devils at the very front were often instantly nailed to the ground by several crossbow bolts.
The trajectory of the arrows was much larger, often falling from the sky.
Some even fell straight down!
Relying entirely on inertia and gravity to injure those unlucky demons who happened to be hit!
'Puff, puff, puff!'
For example, right now, after the crossbow bolts and arrows were fired, twenty or thirty unlucky Barbed Devils were hit in vital areas and fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, they were trampled under the hooves and claws of the Barbed Devils and other demons behind them who were still charging forward. Even if they hadn't died from the crossbow bolts, their bones were crushed to death by the trampling.
Because it was impossible to easily stop a charge.
What's more, it was a group charge. A large group of people charging forward could no longer be stopped by the leaders at the very front.
The front row could lead the charge.
But when to stop the charge was something that the back rows, who were still charging forward, could decide!
Moreover, these Abyss Demons didn't take these less than a hundred ranged archers and crossbowmen seriously.
Instead, the stench of sulfur and the bloody smell of their own kind's death permeated the air.
This made more Abyss Demons behind them realize the arrival of death, imagining in their minds the pleasure of devouring human flesh and blood, and even the reward of being granted souls to absorb if they were lucky.
Their eyes widened even more, staring at the 10-meter-high city wall in front of them.
Their running speed was even faster!
Then.
'Bang,' 'Bang,' 'Bang,' 'Bang.'
Four special muffled sounds came.
Then, four black shadows appeared in an almost horizontal, slightly downward direction.
Instantly, as if flashing, they tore through the obstruction of space and crashed into the group of Abyss Demons still charging forward.
Immediately, those who had been charging forward with their long-bladed spears a second before,
unconsciously let go of their long-bladed spears the next second, their entire bodies being lifted up, along with four, five, or even seven or eight extremely thin Barbed Devils behind them, heavily into the air, and then falling to the ground!
The first Barbed Devil to be hit was lifted into the air, and then a fist-sized hole appeared in its body.
The two or three Barbed Devils behind it didn't even lift off the ground, but were directly hit by something, and then fell to the ground.
Only then did they see.
It was a 1.5-meter-long spear with an iron-made sharp spearhead, a ballista bolt!
The source was the four light ballistae that had been set up on the city wall, operated by the Lake Rat Gang newbies, firing four bolts, creating a powerful destructive force!
In that instant, the Barbed Devil swarm that had been charging at the front was swept clean of four passages!
All the Barbed Devils in these passages.
Suffered heavy casualties!
In this volley, the four light ballistae caused nearly 30 Barbed Devil casualties.
Compared to the 50 mercenary crossbowmen and 30 Vaegir archers, they were not far behind!
Ballista.
Even light ballistae.
For groups, large numbers, and unarmored units, the killing effect.
Was extremely strong!
"Windlass! Cock!"
On the city wall, one Lake Rat Gang newbie was still shouting loudly, as if encouraging himself and his companions, quickly turning the windlass, using hooks and ropes to gradually pull open the thumb-thick bed crossbow string, and cocking it again.
After ten seconds, the windlass had re-latched the crossbow string inside the firing groove.
"Load the bolt!"
Another Lake Rat Gang newbie placed the bolt in the semi-circular firing groove, perfectly fitting it, and after quickly adjusting the direction, nodded to the Lake Rat Gang newbie holding a wooden mallet next to him.
"Fire!" Then the Lake Rat Gang member holding the wooden mallet shouted and directly slammed down the mallet.
'Buzz—Bang!'
This ballista, which had been cocked, pulled to the limit, and accumulating kinetic energy and power, once again violently launched this sharp, straight bolt.
Once again completing the firing of a light ballista!
And around him.
The other three light ballistae, according to the same steps, almost simultaneously fired their bolts.
Still stirring up a sea of blood.
Violently, among the crowded, unavoidable Barbed Devils.
Rippling a blood mist formed by blood flowers!
What's more, around them.
The mercenary crossbowmen had already begun accurate shooting.
The Vaegir archers were drawing cone-headed arrows from their quivers one after another.
Pouring their arrows at the Abyss Demons who had broken through the 100-meter range and were entering the 80-meter, even 50-meter range.
Then they could see that as the distance became closer and closer, the frequency of the Abyss Demons falling was getting higher and higher.
The number of those who were hit in vital areas by crossbow bolts or arrows.
Was getting more and more!
Of course, the dark red Abyss Demons, rushing over like a surging tide, were also getting closer and closer to the city wall!
"Swadian Militia!"
On the city wall, Bandak pulled the trigger of the heavy crossbow in his hand, firing a steel bolt that directly killed a Barbed Devil charging at the front.
Then, his face didn't show the slightest panic, and he still shouted loudly in his usual tone:
"Switch to hunting crossbows! Fire on command!"
"Switch to hunting crossbows!"
"Fire on command!"
Then, the entire city wall, the 300 Swadian militia who had been urgently transferred over, all pulled out their hunting crossbows.
Using their hands to forcefully pull back the crossbow string, latching it, and then skillfully loading the bolts into the firing groove one by one.
And even more skillfully began to form ranks.
The front row lying on the battlements.
The back row slightly bending over.
Those behind stood up straight.
Then, they aimed those well-cocked hunting crossbows, with their sharp bolts locked in the firing grooves, at the abyss demons that had approached within 50 meters.
Their fingers were placed on the triggers, ready to be pressed at any moment.
They awaited the final command!
"Shoot."
This time, it was Shen Mu's calm command that directly triggered a chain reaction.
Almost all the Swadian militiamen heard this light yet deafening order.
Almost reflexively, they chose to obey, and immediately pressed the triggers of their hunting crossbows.
Then, a neat black curtain appeared from their hands.
With a whoosh, it transformed into a black line across the space.
Then, like a torrential downpour, it crashed down on the hordes of Barbed Devils.
Dozens of Barbed Devils, those agile, nimble, and swift demons, known for their cruelty and violence, but with extremely poor defense, were instantly brought down in a large, orderly patch!
Even more unlucky Barbed Devils were shot with so many crossbow bolts that they resembled hedgehogs.
They howled and fell to the ground.
Before the howls could even fade, they were trampled by the hooves and claws of the abyss demons behind them.
Their spines and skulls were crushed with cracking sounds, as bones broke continuously.
The stench of sulfur and blood became even more pervasive!
This caused the remaining hundreds of Barbed Devils to stop their advance.
They looked at the tall city walls ahead, at the numerous human crossbowmen.
The madness in their eyes gradually dissipated.
Some fear and panic, born from the slaughter and injuries, began to surface in the scarlet eyes of these Barbed Devils.
They were a race trained in the bottomless abyss, naturally skilled in combat and fighting.
However, this did not mean they did not understand fear.
In their weakest Imp stage.
Even as Lesser Demons.
These low-level abyss demons had typical emotions of fear and panic.
After all, liking to kill others and eat their corpses did not mean they liked to be killed, liked their flesh to be eaten by others.
Therefore, in some situations, it could be clearly stated that if the morale of these abyss demons was shattered in a short period of time, if their bottom line of morale was destroyed.
Then the morale of these abyss demons would plummet!
For example, now.
Having suffered huge casualties in a short period of time, the morale of the Barbed Devils had shaken violently.
So much so that the remaining five or six hundred Barbed Devils, at this time, looked at the Swadian militiamen on the city wall, who had once again raised their hunting crossbows and pulled the triggers, shooting out another volley of bolts.
'Puff, puff, puff, puff!'
Dozens of Barbed Devils were once again shot and killed on the spot.
There were also four ballistae firing.
Hired crossbowmen aimed with almost sixth-sense-like intuition, and then shot accurately at vital points.
And the Vaegir archers, as if pouring out firepower, drew and shot, outputting at a high frequency like practicing archery at moving targets.
In just a short moment.
The Barbed Devils lost more than a hundred, a terrifying loss!
These Barbed Devils were finally collapsing.
One by one, they turned and ran.
Even though they were less than 20 meters from the city wall, they had been completely frightened by the companions who had been buried on this charge!
As for those behind, they were also shaken during the charge.
The Horned Demons, Snake Demons, and Chain Demons, whose movement speed was the slowest because they were wrapped in countless iron chains as if equipped with chainmail, gradually slowed down their charge speed.
As for the lowest-status Imps, and those calf-like Hell Hounds.
At this time, they only dared to follow behind.
Originally, they thought this was an easy battle, that they could take away the human village in one wave and turn it into a slaughterhouse.
These low-level demons could only eat leftovers behind.
As pitiful as usual.
But they never thought that the human race would show such terrifying, and numerous, long-range attack methods.
The commander's kin, the Barbed Devils, were directly defeated.
Just right, these low-level abyss demons avoided the biggest wave of casualties.
They suffered no damage themselves!
They were very pleased!
Those who were pleased included the Horned Demons and Greater Imps, who were usually used as shock troops, and the Chain Demons, who were used as heavy infantry.
And the Snake Demons, who, like the Barbed Devils, were good at close combat.
They were all extremely pleased!
Although everyone was an abyss demon.
But among the abyss demons, different demon races and different demon types were like different races among humans.
Although they could cooperate.
However, there were more mutual competition, and even hostile relationships!
This demon force was mainly composed of Barbed Devil Lords, and the Barbed Devil race was the mainstay.
The remaining demon races, whether Horned Demons, Chain Demons, Greater Imps, or Snake Demons.
Were actually demon races driven by the Barbed Devil Lord.
They were objects of oppression by the Barbed Devil Lord!
If there was a difficult opponent.
Then let these oppressed non-Barbed Devil demons rush up, use their lives to consume the opponent's sharpness, and check the opponent's true combat power.
When the opponent was consumed almost, and their attention was almost attracted.
Next, it was time for the Barbed Devils to pick the peaches and win!
That's how they used to fight.
Now, seeing the human lord, thinking they were soft persimmons, and being able to taste the fresh flesh and brains, the Barbed Devils rushed very fast.
Now, they were directly defeated, and more than two hundred corpses were left on the front line.
These other demons who were oppressed.
How could they not be happy!?
It's just that now, these abyss demons didn't dare to retreat.
Because that Barbed Devil Lord hadn't spoken yet.
That was a higher-level demon.
Mastering some of the abyss will's favor, able to use part of the abyss demon god's power, its strength was ten times stronger than them, comparable to a level 5 professional among humans.
Without speaking.
They dared not retreat!
So to speak, even facing that within 50 meters.
They themselves began to be hit by arrows and crossbow bolts.
There were also unfortunate ghosts who were hit in vital points, falling down and being trampled into minced meat.
They still didn't dare to stop their charge.
"Roar!"
So the low-IQ Horned Demons, howling and swinging their huge hammers, relied on their developed muscles and tough skin to rush forward faster.
They wanted to follow the classic tactics of the abyss demons when they had internal wars.
Get close to the enemy's city walls as soon as possible.
Then.
Smash the enemy's city walls.
So that they and the demons behind them could flood in, and have a close-range, only strength and stamina-testing, but definitely demon-dominated, tragic fight with the defenders inside the city walls!
Hundreds of Horned Demons, at this time, had this idea, and rushed over.
Facing the torrential rain of arrows and crossbow bolts.
Even if their bodies were pierced as if they were hedgehogs.
They were still moving forward.
They came to the outside of the city wall... before the trench, which was nearly 3 meters wide, 5 meters deep, and maintained the same height as the concrete city wall, with no foothold!
For a time, they were at a loss!
PS: Brothers, a big chapter of two-in-one, please give me some recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you very much.
