holy flame

"Let's retreat." The lead paladin said, looking at his companions.They are strong enough, but they are not reckless. Unless they are gods, no matter how powerful an individual is, they will only end in a disastrous defeat in the face of well-trained and forbidden group enemies.

The other paladins also agreed, they carried Nick and the other nobles who had come to venture on their backs - and the guards and servants who came with them could only let them sacrifice for the sake of the light.

But before the paladins were ready to leave, thick smoke suddenly rose from the grain depot and the barracks in the city, and immediately after that, the armory and the temple also began to be densely covered with smoke.

"What's going on? Who lit the fire?" The leader of the paladins stopped and looked at his subordinates and the nobles. There were not many people missing.So could it be that the guards and servants of the nobles were forsaken to do?Just as this thought flashed across his mind, the leader's face suddenly turned livid, and at the same time, Nick, who was being carried behind his back, also showed the same expression as him.

"It's broken!" The two shouted at the same time.

Outside the city, the Allied Forces of Light saw some obvious black smoke in the city, and cheered in unison.The generals of the coalition army gave the order to launch a general attack, and at the same time boasted about the red-robed officiant sitting on the top position.It seems that in their minds, the biggest victory of the light camp since the darkness invaded is about to come.

But in fact, if the light camp had an "air force", they would be able to see that where there was smoke in the city, there was actually only smoke but no fire.Although there are indeed strange-looking demons running around, the objects they carry are extremely weird-who has ever seen a fire with firewood and straw?

And the place where the smoke rises is not the building, but the open space in front of the building.

Obviously, these fires were set by the dark camp themselves.

The paladins also realized this. After a quick discussion, the three strongest paladins including the leader left the team alone. They had to warn the army outside the city.

However, the paladins who were originally attackers were now able to become prey.And Eric, as a young but cunning hunter, how could he let his prey go?In fact, he has been waiting for the paladins to split up...

There are paladins in the light camp, how could the dark camp not be able to fight against powerful troops?

"Whoosh!" The fiery red whip suddenly hit the three paladins on their way forward. The three of them had to stop and watched a dozen scarlet demons flying from the sky.

Their appearance is somewhat similar to the "red bats" that Samuel saw in the demon world, with red hair, red eyes, red bat wings, and light pink skin, but the horns on their heads are not spiral-shaped sharp horns from the high-level demons in the demon world , but the corners are curved like ox horns, and of course the color of the horns is also transparent.There is no armor on these demons. In fact, they have very little clothes on them. The men only have a piece of red leather wrapped around their waists, and there is only a pair of tight shorts of the same leather under the leather. The women only have more on the upper body than men. Just a piece of skin.

The appearance of these demons is much better than other monsters with strange looks, and they can even be said to be charming.

But in the face of these stunners who interpret what is called "devil face, devil figure", the paladins have a dignified look-they are great Balrogs.

Although the dark camp also has another regular unit called Balrog, in fact, it's just because these two kinds of demons play with fire. In terms of ability, no matter in ability or appearance, the two camps are not comparable.

The leading Balrog—he had a necklace made of crimson minerals around his neck more than the other big Balrogs—looked up and down at the leader of the paladins, smiled with satisfaction, and stuck out his scarlet tongue to lick his lips.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We will treat you well, Knight of Light~"

"Shua!" Fire ignited on the red whip of the Great Balrog, and the next moment, his entire body was also shrouded in flames.This is not an illusion, but the natural ability of the Balrog!And because of their racial characteristics, the red flame is full of dark power at the same time, burning once, it's not just "painful"...

The army of light is getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the generals have even been able to use magic to see the demons on the top of the city. They panicked and made these superiors laugh.

"Victory! Victory!" will be the courage of the soldiers. No matter what the future holds, the performance of these generals has indeed filled the soldiers who were still a little terrified with courage and confidence.

Eric stood in the arrow tower, watching the movement outside: "It's a pity, it happened too suddenly, and we can only defeat but not completely destroy such a good opportunity."

It's not that Eric is cheap and good-looking. On the battlefield, there is an essential difference between defeat and total annihilation.In the former, the enemy commander has some ability to reunite the soldiers after the battle. Even if they cannot restore [-]% of their strength, they can still gather as many as [-]% to [-]%, and as little as [-]% to [-]%.

Needless to say the latter, the word "total annihilation" is very self-explanatory.

And from the current point of view, the frontline troops of the light camp have basically been pulled to the city. If these troops are left at this time.Then, next, Eric can easily "take over" and turn it into an empty city site.But if all these soldiers run away, they will definitely not be able to retreat afterwards, which will add trouble to the plan for the second half of the year.

The soldiers of the light camp approached step by step, Eric frowned, but found that at least in his own mind, he really couldn't think of a better arrangement, so he could only take one step at a time...

The infantry are already pushing the carts and watching the clouds start to line up. The orderly holds up the small flag, and the attack will begin!

Suddenly, a group of ugly big birds appeared in the city. Human beings chased them away. Because of the light and distance, people could not see the appearance of those birds clearly because of the claws and wings of the birds.But obviously, they are demons.The sudden appearance of creatures caused a brief commotion in the army of the light camp.

"Calm down! Archers ready! Wait for them to come down before shooting!"

All the generals present had read the materials kept by the Holy Court and knew that these birds were harpies.However, harpies are generally used as scouts. After all, although they can fly, and they fly very fast, they cannot wear heavy armor or even use slightly heavier weapons in order to fly, so these banshees are extremely poor in combat effectiveness. .

The generals immediately relaxed, and the harpies were all sent out. Either the commander in the city is a fool, or the city is too chaotic now, so they can only send these air forces.

The generals quickly paid the price for their old-fashioned thinking—in this world, even for powerful creatures like the Griffon Knight, apart from scouting, hand-to-hand combat after landing is the main method of combat.But when Samuel came to the world, what is the biggest role of the air force besides reconnaissance?

bombing!

The "carrying capacity" of the Harpy is certainly not as heavy as that of a professional bomber, but the bombs in the magical world are not as heavy as those in the technological world.

Using inferior magic crystals to make bombs, only the size of a human head, the harpies can still fly normally with two or three attached to them. They just need to pull out the fuze in the air and throw them down...

I never knew that there is a weapon in the world called bombs, and I never knew that there is an attack method in the world called air attack on the army of the light camp. When I saw something falling from the sky, I still laughed at the dark camp for being a bunch of fools. Attacking is ridiculously stupid!"

When the dark, round bombs fell, the soldiers laughed and dodged.

It was also a coincidence that the first bomb that fell on the ground...didn't explode!So a group of soldiers gathered together, guessing what it was.The other soldiers, who were still nervous at first, relaxed even more for the other bombs that came one after another.

—A harpy in the sky: "Ah! I seem to have forgotten to pull the string!"

"Anyway, it's already exploded, and the other bombs are the best leads." Her companion comforted her.

Indeed, the spate of explosions has begun.

When the explosion started, the first reaction of the light camp was not fear or anger, but shock.Comrades, subordinates, and bosses became flesh and blood in the bang.The people who were talking and laughing together just now, except for a handful of blood, there is no bones left in the blink of an eye.What's more, suddenly the healthy person has become disabled, hugging the stump on the ground, rolling and screaming.

In fact, bombing and killing soldiers is not too much, but the effect of shocking the heart is definitely huge-although other methods can also cause similar effects, they will definitely not be so fast and straightforward.

After all, this is still the era of cold weapons, and the mainstream is to fight with one sword and one sword.

After a daze, fear followed.Devil black stones, just a wave of attacks can cause this effect, what if they throw more?

The logic of the age of science and technology is that no matter how good martial arts are, one is also afraid of kitchen knives, and no matter how sharp a kitchen knife is, one is also afraid of pistols.In the magical world, except for some special existences, it's actually pretty much the same.

But in fact, they don't have to worry so much, because this is just a small fortress, there are not many harpies, and even fewer bombs.The wave of bombing just now has emptied the ammunition inventory here-the big Balrogs were originally Samuel's guards, but now they have become Eric and Julian's guards.

And when everyone in the light camp was terrified, Eric was not idle, the city gate had been opened, and the demon knights of all races were ready to go!When the army of the light camp was awakened by the sound of horseshoes, it was already too late.

The heavy armored knights went straight into the light camp, and the formation was chaotic due to the bombing, and the infantry phalanx collapsed instantly when they were used as the entry point for the attack.The archers, who were supposed to be protected by the infantry, were falling between the infantry waiting for the siege and the reserve infantry because they were preparing to attack the harpies, and were also submerged under the iron hooves of the knights in an instant.

"Your Highness / Your Excellency / Your Excellency! Let's go!" Behind the light camp, senior generals and red-clothed priests commanded the entire army.The protective knights rushed to their respective masters, eager to persuade.

As they talked, the sound of the horseshoes of the demon knights was getting closer.Although they are still in an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, the soldiers are now completely demoralized.Even in some teams, before the demons came to fight, the soldiers who wanted to escape were already facing their own people with swords and swords.

There is no way to fight this battle, if you continue to wait here, you will only become a devil's meritorious service.

These "superior people" looked at each other. They lost this battle unjustly. After all, there are only a few people present who can fight, but who would have thought that the devil would have such evil methods?

Therefore, whether it was really afraid of death or seeing the situation clearly, they all retreated.Only a few with the lowest status remained, and a few old-fashioned ones stood firm and continued to command.

The command system of the light camp collapsed. On the other side, Eric had already released the Balrog and Pokemon infantry in the city, and gathered the prisoners.The harpies also dispatched again to monitor the movement direction of the large group of rout troops and guide their own troops.The demon light cavalry is also ready to go, and they will pursue after the enemy is completely dispersed.

It was still midnight when Erik awoke, but the sun was overhead when at last the hussars moved out.Moreover, at this time, there were no senior generals around Eric—all followed the army out of the city.

Sighing lightly, the battle is over, and the paladins and Nick's group of nobles still need him to deal with them.
