The allied forces of the Imperial Capital looked at this fortress from a distance, which existed during the White Night Emperor's time. What was the concept of a million-strong army? Standing on the fortress and looking out, what came into view were blocks of black phalanxes, all over the mountains and plains, with almost no end.
Even though the defenders of Moonlight Fortress are well-trained and their numbers have greatly increased, facing an enemy force that is dozens of times larger than our own, they can't help but feel nervous.
If the enemy is allowed to crush them with all their strength, I'm afraid there won't even be any scum left in the Dark Moon Army.
The enemy has not yet attacked, but the hearts of almost every Dark Moon defender are heavy, and their palms are sweating, as if a bow is getting tighter and tighter under huge pressure, and is in danger of collapse at any time.
Of course, there are some exceptions, such as... a small-breasted lady in black standing on the highest observation deck.
“A lot of money!”
The girl looked at the endless enemies and thought about the price her employer had promised to eliminate them. She seemed to see countless black crystal coins everywhere, and her eyes glowed green.
"If I fly over and shoot a few black dragon cannons at the crowd, can I make a lot of money?"
"No, Olifes, this kind of battlefield is no trivial matter. Never underestimate the power of a truly elite army." It was the commander-in-chief Athena who spoke this time. "If you really want to do this, then even if you earn
Even if you get a little money, you won’t even have the life to enjoy it.”
"Is there such a thing?" Olifes was surprised, "I can't even deal with these ordinary people?"
"Not exactly." A stern voice rang out. It was Loki. He was once Bai Luo's most capable subordinate and the deputy commander of the Shadow Empire's Jergal Fortress. Loki was very experienced in fortress defense and became the
The defensive staff officer this time. Athena learned from her father, General George, and was originally a master of defensive warfare. With Loki's assistance, this time it was the strongest command line-up in Dark Moon.
"The armies in ordinary territories are just fine. The elite army in the imperial capital has the means to deal with the strong, which is to activate special magic tattoos, consume life potential, and use some kind of combined special magic formation. This kind of magic formation can contain and delay
For high-level experts, the more people they have, the greater their power. Once Lady Olipis is restrained and the Demon Emperor, who is of equal strength to you, makes a sneak attack, you may be in danger."
Nesta added: "This method is not omnipotent. It also has great limitations. For example, last time the Shadow Army was ambushed and the Dark Serpent Army was attacked by fire, it was still the result of annihilation. In total, this is actually the result.
It imitates the tactics of the ground world. The fighting power of humans in the ground world is generally lower than that of our demons. The same is true for high-level experts. However, their formations are very mysterious and much stronger than those of the demon world. Sometimes they can even exert several times the offensive and defensive power.
Every time we fought with humans, we suffered a lot in this regard. Later, the demon world also began to study this kind of formation science, such as the shadow charge of my demon army. Although the demon world can be considered a small success in this aspect
, but it is still far inferior to the level of the human world, and only some truly elite legions have the ability to compete with the strong."
"The strong men in the imperial alliance are also unwilling to advance easily. They are also afraid of being restrained and attacked. For example, if the enemy comes to a peak demon emperor, even if Pagliu is not here, as long as this demon emperor is blocked by the magic circle or us
With the restraint of the army, even Olifes can severely damage or even kill the opponent." Athena actually didn't say anything. High-level powerful people are rare "resources" and will never be used as cannon fodder easily.
, the more critical the chess piece is, the more it cannot be used until the critical moment.
Olifes nodded as if she understood, but everyone around her understood that in a war of this scale and level, one or two strong men could no longer easily kill everyone and dominate the entire battle.
Of course, the strong are the strong. When deployed at the most suitable opportunity, they can still play a huge role and even reverse the situation of the battle. This cannot be denied.
Since the terrain in front of Moonlight Fortress is not a complete plain, the Imperial Capital's army is not in a hurry to attack, and is still further adjusting its formation to facilitate a large-scale attack.
Having more people is an advantage, but on the other hand, it is also more difficult to command, especially the armies of the lords. The former army commander Geraint quickly commanded through the messenger:
"Faster right wing formation!"
"The former army ordnance brigade, measure the range immediately and prepare to set up the magic crystal cannon!"
"Goblin legions, assemble and inspect the catapults!"
"..."
Just when the coalition forces began to set up the magic crystal cannon, several clusters of red light suddenly shot out from the walls of Moonlight Fortress, and then the ground began to tremble violently, boom boom boom!
Some of the catapults and magic crystal cannons in the front row that had not yet been fully set up were torn apart under the impact of this terrible power. Not only that, several huge holes instantly appeared in the front army's phalanx, and at least two thousand people were here.
Killed in a bombardment.
Dark Moon’s Magic Crystal Cannon!
Geraint was shocked. The range was so far! The power was so powerful! What kind of magic crystal cannon was it?
The magic crystal cannon brought by the Imperial Capital is already the most advanced in the current demon world, and has been improved by the master of weapon making. Setting it up in this position is to use the advantage of the range to launch a powerful bombardment of the Moonlight Fortress. Unexpectedly, this kind of cannon is used.
The advantage turned into a disadvantage in front of the Dark Moon Magic Crystal Cannon. Where did Dark Moon get such a terrifying weapon!
Those phalanxes that were hit were stunned by this round of magic crystal cannon bombardment, and when they reacted, they immediately fell into chaos.
"The front army will retreat a hundred meters immediately! Keep the formation! Don't mess up!" Geraint shouted loudly, and the herald began to beat the drums to give instructions. However, many of the front army were the lord's troops and were far less well-trained than the imperial army.
Especially when the second stage of the magic crystal artillery bombardment of Moonlight Fortress started, all they could do was to retreat desperately. The troops behind were unable to retreat and were squeezed and trampled on each other. If Geraint had not made a prompt decision and ordered the law enforcement team
After killing some of the soldiers who were in disorder, the front army's phalanx was almost ashamed.
In contrast, the direct army in the imperial capital was much calmer, maintained its formation, and finally retreated to a safe position.
This second round of continuous bombardment from the magic crystal cannon boosted Dark Moon's pent-up morale, and excited sounds came from the Moonlight Fortress.
"You know how powerful Dark Moon is!"
"Look at how stupid these grandsons of the imperial capital are!"
"The general is right, they are just a bunch of rabble, there is no use in large numbers!"
"..."
Seeing the soldiers re-energized, Athena and the generals felt a little relieved, but they did not dare to relax at all. Magic crystal cannons are not omnipotent. The range is relatively fixed, especially when they cannot attack enemies at close range. This improved magic crystal cannon
Although it is powerful, the cooldown time is also longer, which means that it is impossible to launch effective attacks continuously.
In the Chinese army's tent on the hillside, Obsidian saw this scene from a distance and frowned. The power of Dark Moon's magic crystal cannon was unexpected, but most of these lost troops were the coalition forces of the lords, which was originally planned.
Used as cannon fodder.
After finally reorganizing the formation, Geraint knew that his side's morale had been dampened, and the strategy of using the magic crystal cannon to hit the opponent's head was obviously unusable. However, the entire battle had just begun.
Geraint gathered his strength and shouted loudly: "Have you seen the small fortress opposite? Have you seen those weak walls? The rebels of the Dark Moon are huddled behind there and trembling! They can only huddle,
Because in the face of our absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a powerless trick. We only need one step each to raze this fortress to the ground! Soldiers of the coalition forces, tell me, tell me to watch from behind.
Our Prince Regent, can you conquer this small fortress?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The frustrated energy of the former army became high again under the encouragement of Geraint. They all stamped their feet on the ground and hit their shields with their weapons. The sound resounded throughout the battlefield, which was very shocking. Black
Yao showed admiration and nodded slightly.
This momentum brought quite a shock to the defenders of Moonlight Fortress, but soon, a louder and more... strange sound sounded from Moonlight Fortress - the barking of a demon dog.
Dog barking?
The soldiers on both sides were stunned at the same time. What is this?
If you listen carefully, you will find that the barking is a bit vague and seems to be mixed with the sound of voices. Everyone can tell that it is the words Geraint used to boost morale just now. The rhythm and tone are so perfect.
"Dogs that bite don't bark. Warriors of the Dark Moon, are we afraid of these dogs that only bark?" After the dogs barked, a man's voice roared out.
"Don't be afraid!" Amidst the laughter, a more uniform voice came from Moonlight Fortress.
A smile appeared on Athena's face. This guy Lomon was really good at it. His jokes and jokes actually offset the enemy's pressure.
Geraint was angry in his heart, but kept a cold face, and gave the order to attack: "The first and second army formations will attack in columns! Keep the distance, don't be afraid of the opponent's magic crystal cannon, as long as you rush through the range, the magic crystal cannon will
The crystal cannon is useless! The only way to survive is to move forward! There is merit! There is reward! If you retreat, there is only a dead end! Law enforcement team, pay attention, those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"
The first army formation and the second army formation were composed of lord armies. Several lords knew that they were serving as cannon fodder, but they had no choice. Geraint gave the order to kill those who were timid, and the Obsidian Regent was watching from behind.
He could only grit his teeth and lead the army forward.
The soldiers don't feel particularly intimidated. No matter humans or demons, when integrated into a huge team, they are easily infected by the atmosphere, especially when inspired by incitement, they will have a feeling of invincibility.
It's morale.
"Kill!" the two phalanxes dispersed into several columns, shouting and rushing towards the Moonlight Fortress amidst the rushing dust.
"It's begun." Obsidian said, with a bit of enthusiasm in his seemingly calm eyes. As long as Dark Moon is destroyed in one fell swoop, not only will the biggest trouble be eliminated, but also the difficulties faced before will be solved.
"It finally begins." In the palace of Darkmoon City, Quan said the same thing, quietly staring at the crystal ball.
"Team No. 1 Magic Crystal Cannon, fire!"
"No. 1 Magic Crystal Cannon Team 2, fire!"
As Athena gave the order, several balls of light were ejected in batches and landed on the battlefield. Countless exaggerated pits appeared. The soldiers within the range of the power were instantly exploded into powder, and there were many broken limbs nearby.
Those with arms were horribly miserable, but the others still advanced fiercely amidst shouts of death. Since the formation was spread out, the losses were much lower than before.
The stronger the magic crystal cannon, the longer the cooling time. Geraint has calculated the cooling time of the Moonlight Fortress magic crystal cannon from the two previous launches. Now that the opponent's magic crystal cannon has just finished firing, it will definitely be unusable, so he takes this opportunity to dispatch
Build a stronger army.
"The magician army, blessing speed magic! The third army formation, the magic armor army is dispatched!"
The combat effectiveness of this wave is stronger than the first wave, especially the magic armored legion equipped with siege ladders and large shields, which can effectively resist the enemy's arrows. In addition, the speed magic makes up for the weakness of poor mobility, which will be a close combat and attack
A weapon for urban warfare.
Just as the third army formation and the magic armored army were advancing rapidly, several white lights shot out from the female wall of the Moonlight Fortress. If the previous red flame magic crystal cannon was a parabolic shot, then this white light in front of me
The light beam was a straight line, like a destructive giant sword, cutting straight into the enemy formation, and it was still moving slowly. The enemy troops along the way had no time to resist or dodge, and they were broken into particles and dissipated. The second round of attacking troops
The formation cleared out several fan shapes.
"Damn it!" Geraint didn't expect that Dark Moon had another kind of magic crystal cannon, and it was equally terrifying. He originally thought that this battle would definitely be met with stubborn resistance by Dark Moon, but he didn't expect that this bone was stronger than he imagined.
The hit one is harder to bite, and our side has already suffered heavy losses even before it reaches the Moonlight Fortress. In any case, it is now a situation where there is no way to retreat, and there cannot be any hesitation.
Although the magic crystal cannon wiped out many soldiers, as Geraint expected, it would be ineffective once it crossed the range. The coalition forces that had crossed the death line rushed towards the fortress menacingly.
Although the magic traps and magic circles along the way played their role, they were instantly filled up by the human navigation technique.
Loki calmly watched the approaching enemy, secretly calculating the distance. With a finger of the long sword in his hand, the messenger immediately sent out a signal. Behind the city wall lined up in a row, several rows of archers opened their bows and began to shoot towards them one by one.
Shoot arrows in the air and throw them!
These archers were equipped with the trigger finger "invented" by Chen Rui, and they fired arrows very quickly. A rain of arrows poured down from the sky above the fortress. Under this indiscriminate range attack, the imperial coalition forces at the front fell to the ground one after another.
land.
On the parapet of the fortress, graceful female figures appeared again holding bows and arrows and carrying giant quivers. The "graceful" here refers to the upper body, while the lower body can only be described as "snaky" - Medusa warrior!
This batch of Medusa Thousands was originally a member of the Moon Shadow Legion. This time they were transferred over. Loki shouted, and the Medusas, all covered in light armor, drew their bows in uniform movements and aimed.
The target was launched. The Medusas' archery skills were among the best in the entire demon world, especially when enhanced by the Devil Fruit. Each arrow could almost take away a life.
However, the number of coalition forces was extremely large, and many people were approaching the city wall despite the rain of arrows, especially the magic armored army. With the cover of their large shields and heavy armor, they blocked many arrows.
They got up and were about to erect the city wall.
Suddenly, countless giant green vines with thorns appeared on the ground. The terrifying plants were entangled and intertwined, growing and spreading rapidly, like giant snakes, entangling the approaching siege ladder and enemies.
The vines are powerful and seem to have some special properties. Even if the entangled enemies do not shatter like the siege ladder, they will soon lose their resistance and be strangled.
What shocked the coalition forces even more was that the cut parts of this terrible plant could actually regenerate, as if endlessly.
Guardian vine - large protective plant ◆ Properties: regeneration, coma, restraint. Germination begins ten seconds after sowing and has a maturity period of twenty-four hours. It can grow in soil of any quality and automatically attacks hostile creatures. The degree of hostile attack
