Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 228 The changing situation (4)

The scanning function of the Advanced Mage Tower is not only very powerful, but can also be set as needed. Demons and evil creatures can be detected as long as they enter the nine-kilometer scanning range. Invisible creatures, incorporeal ghosts, and gasification spells will all be detected. Not only will the small gaps in the space be disturbed, the demons in the abyss will not be able to pass through, and even teleportation spells and innate abilities will not be able to be used.

As long as the mage tower is there, demons cannot escape the eyes of humans and launch surprise attacks. Humans who rely on city walls and other fortifications in a head-on battle will naturally have a great advantage.

After the demon army landed and besieged the city of Barcelona, ​​under the special arrangement of the six-armed snake demon Everat Ashkenazy, only a small number of middle- and high-level demons participated in the siege. The ability of the little devils and the fifth- and sixth-level big devils to attack the city alone was of course not enough. After several months of siege, the city wall was not broken, leaving the impression on humans that the devils were nothing more than that.

This was done to strengthen the confidence of the unlucky guy who blew up the mage tower, and secondly, to concentrate high-end combat power to launch a surprise attack at this time.

More than two hundred big demons, demon wizards, gargoyles, ghosts and other creatures with the lowest level of seventh level have long been ambushing near the port, and the mage tower is at the edge of the scanning range. With the explosion, the mage immediately blessed everyone with "invisibility" and "flight" and flew towards the port. At the same time, a group of elite little devils and demons also rowed towards the port on rafts.

Without the mage tower at the port, humans would not be able to detect these invisible flying demons.

In just over ten minutes, these big demons had landed in the port, even earlier than the soldiers of the Third Infantry Corps of the Kingdom of Iberia. After all, one flew and the other came on legs.

What followed was a massacre. Most of the high-level knights and mages belonging to the navy died in the explosion of the mage tower. How could the rest be opponents of such a large number of great demons. As for naval soldiers, because of naval battles, they all wear leather armor and use mostly swords. They are not as good as ordinary infantry on land. How can they fight against the big devil.

The three mages were the first to notice the demon's attack and the first to escape. The disparity in strength is too great. If you stay, you will die. But before leaving, I gave a warning to the navy on the ground, which is better than nothing.

The mage tower immediately sounded the alarm, and the sentries on various towers also sounded the alarm.

After learning the number and level of demons from the fleeing mage, both the knights of the Third Infantry Legion and the priests of the major True God churches decided to stay put and wait for reinforcements. They were here to check the situation and rescue people, and they didn't have much high-end combat power. Rushing over to fight the demons rashly would be tantamount to death.

There is no shortage of high-end combat power on the human side, but half of them are resting at this time, and the other half are scattered on the city wall. Even if they rush to the port immediately after hearing this shocking news, it will still take quite a while.

Under normal circumstances, the demon army attacking the city should strengthen its offensive to contain the human combat power. However, this is too demanding for the demons and they cannot do it.

The devils can plan the plot to blow up the mage tower perfectly, because this is their instinct, but it is impossible to command the army to enforce orders and prohibitions. The chaotic instinct makes them do whatever they want after fighting. Fortunately, those who participated in the raid were big demons, and they could still carry out the orders as long as they were suppressed by higher-level demons.

More than an hour later, high-level and master-level professionals from the human side arrived at the port. At this time, the six-armed snake demon Everat Ashkenazy also arrived with the master-level demon, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Of course, Everat's efforts were not just to blow up a mage tower, her target was the battleship anchored in the port.

The port is located in the inner city of Barcelona Port, which means that if you want to attack from land, you must first break through the two defenses of the outer city wall and the inner city wall. If you want to attack from the sea, you must pass through a 500-meter-wide waterway when entering the port. There are four stone arrow towers on both sides, equipped with large crossbows.

The warship is anchored in the port, and except for a small number of guards, other sailors must go ashore. For the high-level demon who came invisibly, the arrow tower quickly fell, and those who stayed on the ship were quickly killed.

The rafts rowed by those elite little demons were loaded with ordinary demons, demons, and other creatures who knew how to operate the boat. Although creatures that can sail ships are very rare in the abyss, if the scale of the war rises to the level of invading the main world, enough manpower can always be found.

These people scrambled to board the warships anchored in the port and steered them towards the sea. The devil doesn't have high requirements for them, as long as they can drive the ship away.

On the human side, they see it in front of their eyes and are anxious in their hearts, but there is nothing they can do about it. If the mage tower is still there, it is impossible for the demons to sneak in. Even if they are really there, the attack power of the mage tower combined with the defenders can easily repel them.

But now it was the demons who were guarding against allowing humans to rush over and destroy the warships. The complex terrain of the port was not conducive to humans taking advantage of their numbers, so the battle situation was very unfavorable. Fortunately, the second batch of mid-to-high-level human professionals also arrived, and the demons, knowing that they could not hold on, chose to retreat.

Human masters and high-level professionals attacked the warships that were lagging behind, but the effect was not good under the obstruction of the demons. According to post-war statistics, the Demons captured two sailing battleships, three sailing battlecruisers, six three-masted heavy cruisers, and thirteen two-masted light cruisers, and lost all the rest.

In other words, after this battle, the entire navy of the Kingdom of Iberia was lost.

It would be okay if the ship sank, but now the ship is captured by the devil, which gives the devil the ability to attack the cargo ship delivering supplies to the city of Barcelona. What's worse is that the loss of the port of the mage tower has led to a lack of overall defense. Demons can attack by boat at any time, and humans only need to defend from three directions to four directions.

When news of the fleet's capture came out, kingdoms, principalities, churches and guilds were shocked. After the outbreak of the demonic disaster, in order to prevent the demons from capturing human ships, the Three Kingdoms had sailed all merchant ships and fishing boats away from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

That is to say, except for the port of Barcelona in the Kingdom of Iberia, the port of Marseille in the Kingdom of France, and the port of Naples in the Kingdom of Apennines, the three countries no longer have ships along the Tirenian coast.

But now that the devil has captured a large number of warships, and the scattered ones captured in previous naval battles, the devil can attack farther along the coastline. The three countries are powerless against such an attack.

What is even more ironic is that the remaining navy of the Kingdom of France is similar in size to that captured by the devil, and the Kingdom of Apennine even only has half the number of warships captured by the devil.
