The black tower stands tall on this gray and dilapidated land. Its majestic silhouette is like the last silhouette left to this world by the disappearing race of giants.
This was originally a giant guard tower. But now, more than 160 humans fight on it.
"Fire the arrow!"
With a roar, a torrential rain of arrows collided head-on with the group of demons rushing up the steps. Each demon screamed and was pierced by the sharp and fast arrows, either falling down or turning into exploding lava black.
Ash.
However, there were more demons stepping on their bodies, rushing up the steps and rushing toward the tower gate.
"Hooka!"
Amidst the roar of the devil, Landreaux stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat, blood or black mud from his face, and shouted: "Magician!"
Almost at the same time as his voice sounded, colorful magic passed over his head and smashed into the group of demons. At least four magics covered the entire door in front and behind. The surging demon group was like red-hot rocks.
The snow that had been sprinkled on the upper bunk evaporated in an instant.
A perfect attack.
The demon's offensive was immediately thwarted. Although the demons charging behind quickly filled the gap. However, another group of human magicians had also completed the construction of the elemental array everywhere.
"Ice Warrior!"
Amid Afu's scolding, the wand released a blue light. Six transparent ice warriors jumped out of the void, accompanied by the magic lights of the other three magicians, like galloping bulls, fierce and fast.
He crashed into a group of demons.
Their bodies are pure, transparent and extremely hard. Each one is nearly four meters tall and has infinite strength.
When they walked side by side and raised their swords, people only saw demons exploding wherever they passed. In the blink of an eye, the surging demon group was pushed out into a straight blank. This blank stretched all the way to the steps outside the door.
Next, we finally reached the end.
"Well done!" The mercenaries cheered loudly.
Some of the young mercenaries looked at Afu, full of admiration and love.
Among the magicians present, Afu is not the strongest. However, in the battle, this beautiful and frail female mage, who is as shy as a deer, shows magical abilities that exceed those of many more powerful senior mage.
.
She is skilled in magic and has a strong ability to read the battlefield. In addition to her stable performance in fixed group attacks, there were several critical moments where she saved the situation. With such a magician standing behind her
, the knights will feel much more at ease.
After the second round of magic attacks, the demon's offensive was once again frustrated. However, they did not retreat.
On the contrary, the high-level demons who had already figured out human tactics in the previous battles made an urging roar at the same time, and dozens of ninth-level demons gathered at the front, like a more ferocious wave, heading towards the guardian
The tower gate was photographed.
"It's our turn!" Landero shouted, clenching the sword in his hand.
The moment the demon rushed into the gate, he and dozens of knights rushed forward like roaring tigers. Long swords and battle axes rose one after another, and flying battle rings blasted into the demon group like meteors, roaring.
The sound of the collision echoed on the first floor of the guard tower, deafening.
With the knights in front, the archers and magicians behind could attack as much as they wanted. For a while, the wave of demons was blocked at the gate, unable to advance even an inch.
However, the long-term battle has already made the mercenaries exhausted. The fighting spirit and physical strength of the knights have reached the limit. The magic power of the magicians is also almost exhausted. Although there is a guardian tower as a support, a solid millstone is formed.
But the combat effectiveness is still declining.
Specifically, each batch of knights who ascended lasted for shorter and shorter periods of time, while the intervals between attacks by magicians and archers became longer and longer.
After half an hour of brutal fighting, the last group of knights who rushed forward finally repelled this wave of demonic attacks. However, luck does not favor everyone. Someone will always fall in a pool of blood.
This time, it was Lake who fell.
Before dying, a level 10 demon used its sharp claws to slice through Rick's armor diagonally, and deeply broke his chest. His ribs had been completely broken, and not only had he suffered severe internal injuries and lost a lot of blood,
Moreover, his right hand and skull suffered violent blows.
At this moment, he was lying on a stone platform in the guard tower, his body twitching constantly. Every time his throat rose and fell, a large amount of foam and blood would gush out from the corner of his mouth. The blood kept pouring out, soaking his clothes.
, dripping down the stone platform.
His blue eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, his expression dimming little by little.
"Rake!"
Landro picked up Lake, quickly placed him on a stone platform, took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into his mouth. At the same time, Afu and Tusu were bandaging him quickly. And Ao
Livia sprinkled a bottle of wizard potion on Lake, trying to save Lake with the witchcraft of the highland wizard.
However, whether it was Landero giving medicine to Lake, Afu bandaging the wound, Tu Su, or Olivia releasing witchcraft, they were all doing the work they were doing, and tears fell down.
Not to mention that Landero and Lake have known each other for many years and have fought side by side countless times. They are already brothers and close friends who can entrust their backs and families to each other without hesitation. Just talk about other people who have witnessed this with their own eyes.
How heroic Lake was in the battle.
During the last impact, he had already been injured in many places. His fighting spirit was supported by a mere fifth-level spiritual power pill. But even so, he did not flinch at all. Not only did he keep fighting, he even
He also saved a mercenary next to him at a critical moment.
At this point in the battle, everyone knew what was going on. Few of the more than a hundred people still imagined that they could go back alive. In fact, in the previous battle, more than fifteen people had
Die in battle. But...Rake is different.
He is so brave and full of energy. His strong body is wrapped in thick plate armor, and he is extremely powerful. He is skilled in martial arts and has rich experience. With him by your side, you will never worry about the enemy taking action from him.
Breakthrough over there. He's a true knight who never seems to fall.
But now, he is lying here, so miserable, so helpless.
Looking at Lake, everyone seemed to see themselves not long after. No one knew who would fall next. No one knew whether such resistance was meaningful.
An atmosphere of sadness enveloped everyone.
However, at this moment, a cold voice rang out: "What are you doing around a dead man? Go away and go do what you have to do!"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads and glared at the group of people coming down the stairs on the second floor.
This group of people is none other than the Thunderstorm mercenaries headed by Morton.
They arrived here two prayer hours ago. However, they never participated in any battle from beginning to end. With Morton's strong strength, they occupied the floors above the second floor, euphemistically called the first floor.
Prepare a new line of defense if it falls.
But in fact, everyone knows their plan.
In this regard, everyone was just silent. They had long known the virtues of the scumbags like the Thunderstorm Mercenaries, so they were not surprised by this. Moreover, now is indeed not the time for internal strife to break out. As long as these people don't cause trouble, everyone will
Just pretend they don't exist.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was grieving for Lake, they would actually say such words. The tone was like a slave owner scolding his slaves, so cold and inhumane.
"What are you talking about?" Lacios said angrily, "Can you speak human language?"
"Dwarf, watch your mouth," a horse-faced knight next to Morton said coldly. "Don't bring trouble to yourself. Be careful that you won't even know how you died."
He said, looking around and scanning everyone's faces: "It's useless for you to grieve around a dying person. Send him up and we will deal with it. Everyone else should hurry up and restore their fighting spirit, otherwise they will wait for the devil to come down."
This attack, what can you do to resist it?"
He sneered twice and threatened: "If the first floor is really breached, then don't blame us for using useless people as cannon fodder!"
Upon hearing this, the mercenaries were all furious. The scene suddenly became commotion.
"Why do you say such things?"
"Yeah, did you do anything just now? What were you doing when we were fighting desperately?!"
"Rake was injured for everyone. Do you still have humanity? He is not dead yet!"
Lacios even pointed at the horse-faced knight and yelled: "Fuck you. Sons of a bitch, you are hiding behind and still telling us what to do. Do you think this is the territory of your Thunderstorm Mercenary Group?"
?Guys, let’s get them all out!”
"Yes, get out..."
The mercenaries were filled with indignation and echoed in unison. However, before they could finish their words, suddenly, a figure shot towards Lacios like an arrow.
"Be careful!" Landero stood in front of Lacios, and the sixteen battle rings suddenly turned into a huge ball of light, sealing it towards the man.
Boom! A loud bang echoed in the closed tower, causing many people to reach out and cover their ears.
In the sight, Landreaux let out a muffled groan, and his body shot out like a cannonball, hitting the wall hard, causing dust to fall off.
"Moton..."
There was deathly silence in the guard tower.
Everyone looked at the man in the center of the crowd in shock, exuding a violent and cold aura.
With one move, just one move, Landero flew out. This is the difference between the Paladin and the Great Knight of Light. It is a world of difference!
Poof! Landero spurted out a mouthful of blood. He had tried his best in the previous battle, and his body was injured in many places. Now he took Morton's vicious blow, and the injuries that he had suppressed suddenly exploded.
However, despite the overwhelming energy and severe pain in his body, he could not speak a word. But his eyes were always staring at Moton fiercely, like a wounded wolf.
"Moton! What do you want to do?" Olivia and Wood stood up at the same time, protecting Lacios and Landero, and glared at Morton.
"What do you want to do?" Morton's cold eyes swept over everyone, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I want to know, who still wants us to get out."
The power of the powerful men in the Holy Domain spread boundlessly. The mercenaries felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on them, so heavy that they could not breathe. Although everyone was extremely angry, under the oppression of this terrifying power,
Next, let alone speaking, it seems difficult to even stand up straight.
"What? There's no one left?" Morton sneered, "It seems that everyone is still very aware of current affairs. In this case, you'd better be more obedient. From now on, I have the final say here. You can do whatever I ask you to do.
Otherwise, I will make his life worse than death..."
With that said, Morton turned his attention to Landreaux: "Do you understand?"
Since arriving at this guard tower, Morton has been watching with cold eyes. He knows very well that Landreaux is the core of this group of people. He leads the Ice Star team and unites the teams of Olivia, Wood and others. Plus
He has rich experience, takes the lead and leads with determination, and has repelled demon attacks several times, so he is quite prestigious among the mercenaries.
Originally, if the situation could continue, Morton did not want to have any direct conflict with Landero. With these idiots standing behind him, he only had to stand aside and preserve his strength.
However, the wave of demon attacks just now made Moton feel threatened. After a long period of fighting, these mercenaries below have reached the end of their fighting spirit, physical strength and spirit. It is difficult to say whether they can still hold on.
A wave of attacks.
If they can't hold on, they have no choice but to retreat upwards. This guard tower has only five floors in total. If they retreat layer by layer, they will end up dead in the end.
In fact, this is exactly what Landero and others planned.
They have already regarded this guard tower as their tomb. They will rely on this place to fight to the death. If they can kill a demon, they will kill one. After they die in battle, they will burn the body. Even if the entire army is annihilated, they will not let a drop of blood fall.
In the hands of the devil.
What a broad mind this is, what a great sacrifice this is. If it had nothing to do with him, Morton would not be able to help but applaud them.
But now, he must not let this stupid plan be implemented.
This plan is not his. His only thought now is to survive. Even if everyone dies, even if the entire continent is occupied by demons, it has nothing to do with him. If he can live for even one second longer, the whole world will
So what if you die?
When this guard tower can no longer be defended, he must leave. This damn garden is so big, he might still have a chance of survival. After all, what these demons need is blood. As long as most of the people's blood is collected.
It doesn’t matter if you have more of yourself or less of yourself.
Maybe, I can escape this disaster!
But once you let these guys retreat and let the demons occupy the floors below, it will be even more difficult for you to break out!
What's even more disgusting is that these guys' determination to burn the remains was met with the anger of the demons. Morton can completely imagine how crazy these demons will be if they don't get enough blood. At that time, even one
They will find any mouse and squeeze out its blood!
So Morton stopped it all.
He wants these mercenaries to delay as much time as possible and let them die on the first floor after exhausting the last drop of source power. At the same time, he cannot let these people continue to burn the bodies. On the contrary, he will keep these bodies
Give it to the devil, and even collect some for yourself.
If the demons can complete their blood sacrifice, it would be best to give up hunting in the garden. If not, the blood in your hands may be able to exchange for your own life - even if it is just to sign a contract with the demons to sell their souls.
A contract is fine too!
To achieve his goal, Morton must remove the obstacles.
And this roadblock is obviously Landreaux.
Facing Mortenson's cold gaze, Landreaux gritted his teeth and stood up with difficulty holding on to the wall. Then, he grinned and spat at Mortenson with bloody spit!
"Fuck you!"
This is Landreaux's answer!
"Seeking death!" Moton snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and eight battle rings flew out like cannonballs.
Seeing that Landero, who had completely lost his resistance, was about to be killed by Morton, everyone on the side screamed in surprise. Wood roared angrily, stood in front of Landero, and swung a half-moon-shaped sword in his hand.
With a flash of light, he suddenly slashed towards Moton's battle ring.
Tu Su remained silent, his slender body rushed out like a female leopard, and the spear in his hand pierced Morton's vest.
Lacious cursed loudly, and shot out a chaos ray. The demon monkey rose into the air, and clawed at Morton's eyes with its sharp claws.
Olivia waved her hand, and the potion bottle in her hand spilled a green liquid into the air. As she flicked her fingers, the liquid exploded and turned into a corrosive cloud, shrouding Morton.
The fastest and most ruthless one is Afu.
Almost as soon as Landro spat out her mouth, even Morton had not taken action. One of her Level 7 [Ice Strangulation] had already taken action. All she could see were jagged transparent water ribbons, like giant...
A python flew out from behind her and headed straight for Moton.
The breeze lifted her hair, making her look charming. With a hint of murderous intent, she was particularly seductive.
In addition to them, there were seven or eight mercenaries nearby who also took action at the same time.
Some of these people were members of the joint mercenary team, and some were not. But at this moment, they all stood together with Landero without hesitation.
However, if they were already exhausted and reluctantly took action, how could they be the opponents of a strong man from the Holy Domain who was recharging his energy?
"You really don't know how to live or die." A cold light flashed in Moton's eyes.
Moton suddenly released the field. There was only a bang. A huge golden field exploded and quickly expanded to a diameter of tens of meters. In the field, countless golden light filaments instantly combined into a huge ball, covering his entire body.
All wrapped up.
After a series of sounds, everyone's attacks were blocked by the ball. The next second, Moton shouted loudly, and the ball exploded with a bang. It turned into countless golden wires and shot out, hitting everyone.
On his body, for a moment I saw a figure rising into the air and hitting the ground heavily.
In the blink of an eye, a circle with a diameter of ten meters appeared around Moton.
Outside the circle, Wood groaned and staggered back seven or eight steps before barely standing. Tusu looked at the broken spear in his hand, his chest heaving violently. Finally he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Afu, Rasio
Si and Olivia lay motionless on the ground, having passed out. Several other mercenaries who took action also suffered injuries of varying severity and struggled to get up.
There was dead silence in the guard tower.
The mercenaries looked at Moton with anger, shock, shame, as well as horror and fear in their eyes.
Everyone knew how powerful a paladin was. But it wasn't until Morton took action that they discovered that the power of the realm was so terrifying. More than a dozen people took action at the same time, but not only did Morton's fur not get hurt, they were struck by him.
It fell apart.
This is the power of the field.
If a few prayer hours ago, more than a hundred people had joined forces, even Moton would not have dared to act rashly. But now, in this closed guard tower, when everyone is exhausted, relying on the domain, he can kill as he pleases
Anyone.
"Now..." Moton slowly turned around, turned around in a circle, and said coldly, "Who else wants to try?"
The mercenaries were silent.
However, there were still many people in the crowd who gritted their teeth, clenched the hilts of their swords, and the veins on the backs of their hands were exposed.
"No one said anything. It seems that there is no one left." Morton smiled slightly, his eyes passing over everyone's faces one by one, and finally looking at Landreaux who was still standing by the wall. His eyes narrowed slightly, "If anyone else is still there,
If you are not convinced, then I will give you another chance to see who can save him..."
Morton raised his hand and opened it to Landreaux. Just as the battle ring lit up on his arm, suddenly, a mercenary who was responsible for vigilance and observation outside rushed in.
He shouted: "Quick, everyone come and see!"
"What happened?" Everyone was shocked. Even Moton's expression suddenly changed.
Everyone instinctively thought that the demons outside had undergone some terrible changes. They were the fatal threat faced by everyone here, and any change was not a small matter.
“Go check it out!”
"quick!"
The crowd rushed towards the door. Morton did not bother to kill Landreaux, and rushed to the front in a flash.
And when everyone followed the mercenary and rushed out of the door, they saw a faint group of demons in the darkness in the distance. They didn't know when they started to stir up chaos. Some demons were running around, some demons were roaring, and some demons were screaming.
Screaming.
Soon, several huge rays of light suddenly flashed among the demons, and countless demon limbs and severed arms were thrown into the air. The huge explosion was earth-shattering and deafening. Then, small circling and flying light spots appeared one after another.
