Chapter 1,165 Battle against Dark Creatures(1/3)
The king of Ryder Principality immediately told about the strength of dark creatures.
However, what the King of Ryder Principality said was also within Nalant's expectation.
The four dark creatures from the Death Continent had already appeared when they killed the Sun God last year.
Therefore, there were no other special dark creatures at that time, and they obviously will not appear now.
As for the dark lord who has not yet appeared, Nalant can rely on the strength of the two previous dark lords to compare.
It is almost twice as powerful as the King of the Hill or the Dragon King.
Of course, it may be higher, but not necessarily.
But in general, the biggest threat to dark creatures is their numbers.
"In that case, let's issue an order to rest for a day tonight. The army will set off directly tomorrow and follow me to the front line to resist the invasion of dark creatures."
Nalant had nothing else to say. Facing the dark creatures, the only option was head-on confrontation.
Because they are not afraid of death, their only desire is to kill all living creatures.
"Yes, Lord Narante!"
All the kings heard the words and responded in unison.
…
"Woooo! Lord Narante has given orders, let's go!"
Early the next morning, a loud horn sound came from the wall of the capital of the Rhine Kingdom.
With the sound of the horn, the entire Holy Alliance army began to rush to the front line one after another.
Narant now acts like a lord, and he is at the front of the team when marching, marching together with all the kings.
"Lord Nalant, I heard from those caravans on the Io continent that there is also a war going on in the Io continent, and the enemies are very powerful. Don't you know if it is true?"
During the march, a group of kings were curious about the war in Io continent.
It's just because the journey is far away and they don't have better access to the situation in Io.
So I immediately took the opportunity to carefully ask Narant.
Nalant knew that these kings were worried about the Io continent, so he did not hide it at the moment: "Everyone, there is indeed a very intense situation on the Io continent at this time."
"A total of five human races from other continents attacked the continent of Io."
"They are very powerful and have many dragon knights and paladins."
"In addition, I heard that their leader is also a terrifying and powerful man who can easily destroy the fortress walls."
There is no need to hide these things, although telling them will probably put more pressure on the kings.
But if you deceive them, it will also make them defenseless due to ignorance.
"The fortress wall can be destroyed easily!"
When the kings heard this, their expressions changed.
In their view, any city wall is very strong and can easily destroy the city wall. This is definitely a terrifying existence.
Everyone just didn't know that Nalant also mentioned the words "city wall with a magic circle".
After all, none of the kings may have a deep impression of the magic circle.
"Baron Nalant, can we win? I mean, can the kingdoms of gods in Io win?" A king asked worriedly.
"I don't want to deceive you. To be honest, whether this war can be won or not is not yet certain."
"Because the enemy is very powerful."
"Fortunately, these enemies don't seem to belong to the same force at present, so we can still rely on our numerical advantage to resist."
"However, even so, we are still in a stalemate, and even our kingdom of God and the foreign races in Io continent are at a disadvantage."
"Of course, these are not what we should worry about at the moment. What we should really worry about is to deal with the dark creatures first."
"Now this is the first death continent, and there will be three other death continents."
"Although those death continents may not necessarily fall on the edge of our sacred continent, we must be prepared for the worst!"
Nalant spoke to reassure the kings.
At the same time, it also highlighted the most urgent tasks for everyone in the Holy Continent.
Although the enemies in Io continent are very powerful.
But that is no longer what principalities and empires like the Holy Alliance can worry about.
What they should really worry about is the dark creatures invading them!
"Yes, Baron Nalant!" All the kings nodded, and then the team continued to move forward.
After traveling for two days, Nalant and his army finally stopped at a place called Earl Peak's Fort.
This Earldom of Peake has a hilly terrain.
Although the surrounding mountains are not towering, with the highest being only three to five hundred meters, they can also serve as a natural barrier against dark creatures.
In addition, the Earl of Peake's Castle and the city below have strong walls, so it can become the best defensive position in the vicinity.
After the army stopped, they immediately began to build a defensive offensive.
With the city of Earl Pique as the center and extending to the left and right sides, a ten-mile-long defense line was established.
The defense line uses mountains as the commanding heights to defend, blocking the path of the dark creatures.
After a day of intense arrangements, the dark creature also arrived at noon that day.
Woohoo!
Following the sound of horns coming from the mountains ahead, densely packed dark creatures surged up the narrow passage in the mountains.
The mountain passage in front of the castle is three to four miles wide in total, but dark creatures occupy this passage completely.
Nalant hasn't seen so many dark creatures for a long time.
"Remote catapult preparation!"
"emission!"
Nalant has not moved yet, but has been handed over to the command of several kings.
Their army is the main force in the defense of Earl Peak's city today.
Nalant's army serves as a follow-up force and provides support at any time.
Whoosh whoosh!
Bang bang bang!
As the order was issued, hundreds of catapults were launched at the same time, and huge stone bullets roared across the sky and fell on the dark creatures.
Ho ho ho!
The attack in the city immediately aroused the ferocity of these dark creatures.
The next moment, the dark creature roared and charged.
Following the charge, the dark creatures quickly spread under the city wall.
"Longbowmen, shoot!" Several kings quickly issued orders again.
However, the lethality of human longbows against these dark creatures is really limited.
Moreover, the long archers, who only amounted to less than 20,000, were a drop in the bucket in the face of the densely packed dark creatures.
Soon, the two sides began to attack and defend the city wall.
Choo Choo Choo!
Just then, a group of gargoyles with flapping wings flew in the sky.
"Vivian, let the Hawkmon team attack!"
Upon seeing this, Nalant did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to Vivian.
He is very experienced in dealing with dark creatures.
To be continued...
