Chapter 1340 Blackstone Fortress (Part 2)
The loud buzzing sound coming from the sky instantly drowned out the shouts of death on the battlefield, as the aircraft like a giant ship was descending.
The general defending Blackstone Fortress certainly saw it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Their heavy ballistae couldn't aim at it at an elevation angle, and the anti-air ballistae was almost like tickling it and had no effect at all.
The general standing on the reconnaissance tower and looking at the battlefield held the bricks tightly with his fingers, and the veins were protruding, but he didn't know it yet.
He had seen this scene before, even many times.
Flying warships controlled by the Demon King God will descend from the sky and transport his loyal servants to destroy the enemy.
During the Battle of Avarus, many people had seen this scene. As a result, many veterans would run away in fear whenever they heard a loud buzzing noise from the sky.
This is indeed the case. The veterans on the city wall have crouched down and looked around in panic, as if they were looking for a place to hide. Only the recruits knew nothing about it and looked up at the sky with their mouths wide open stupidly.
The giant ship fell quickly, and the whirlwind blown by the propeller caused the soldiers in the fortress to flip over. It pressed down in a way that was comparable to falling, and stopped when it was about twenty meters in the air.
"Repent, heretic!"
"I will carry out your will!"
"Your blood will become my medal!"
The demon statues that let out terrifying roars descended from the giant ship one by one. In the smoke, only the red light of their single eyes could be seen, followed by the screams of the soldiers of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
"Send the magician troops there, quickly!"
The messenger got the order and ran away in a panic. It makes people wonder whether he went to deliver the order or simply ran away. He was too panicked.
No problem, if it's just a golem, we can handle it.
Because similar tactics have been used many times, the generals of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom have experience.
Even a golem directly controlled by the Demon King God is just a golem, and it is not difficult to deal with it as long as you find a way to deal with it.
The golem is made of steel and is invulnerable, but mages can use spells to control or delay the golem's movements, and then use ballistae or other heavy weapons to target them one by one.
It's a little troublesome, but it can be done.
He kept thinking about these things like self-hypnosis. At this time, the orange explosion flash mixed with the loud noise brought him back to his senses.
An area on the city wall seemed to have been bombed by a howitzer. There were human body parts and broken arms everywhere, and there were still very clear radioactive traces left by the four explosion points on the ground.
"Report! The magician of Avarus has taken action, it seems to be a meteor explosion!"
Even though it was still far away from his position, the power of the explosion still made his toes numb.
"Don't panic, open the defensive barrier!"
"yes!"
The messenger ran away in a hurry again, and soon a spherical shield covered the fortress like a big ocean bowl.
This kind of shield can mainly be used to resist magic attacks, but its duration is limited and it needs to be recharged. Therefore, this shield cannot be opened casually unless the opponent's magicians take action.
After the shield is turned on, the attacks of Avarus mages hidden among the soldiers become lackluster. Whether it is the most commonly used fireball technique or the most powerful meteor burst of the Evocation School, they will be bounced away by the shield or absorb.
So far, it has been expected, whether it is the interference of the Demon King God or the famous high-level mage of Avarus, they can handle it.
What the generals are now more worried about is whether the Demon King God will become angry when he sees that the progress is not going well, and then directly interfere in the mortal world.
Of course, there are ways to deal with this.
The Demon Kingdom of Subia once used a magic circle that could shield the interference of the Demon King and God. At this time, it was already on standby at the Blackstone Fortress and could be activated with just one command.
However, this thing consumes a lot of energy and requires mages to maintain it all the time. The general who defended the city was considering whether it would be more appropriate to open it now or wait until the Demon King God really intervenes.
After all, Avarus' offensive has only just begun, and there is still time to come.
While I was thinking about this, the staff officer next to me suddenly pointed at the city wall and said:
"The tower is coming up, my God! What is that!"
The siege tower is actually a movable, wooden tower. By placing it against the city wall, soldiers can climb the stairs directly from outside the city.
One of the five towers has been destroyed, and the other four are also filled with arrows.
But that's not the point. What surprised the general's staff was that he saw someone coming out of the tower and sweeping away the soldiers on the wall like an almost unstoppable force.
The surging divine holy light illuminated the man like a superman. Every sword swing could produce a light blade flashing with holy light. The length of a sword was almost the same as Fang Tian's painted halberd. It could be blocked by swinging it from left to right. A piece of city wall.
The general quickly picked up the telescope:
"It's Princess Viola!"
Viola's appearance has been firmly engraved in his heart. It was originally a magical image sent to each general, telling them that they must capture this princess alive.
Later, Viola began to appear on the battlefield and took the lead in the battle to restore the country.
Now, she often appears in the nightmares of the generals of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, and is the mortal spokesperson of the tyrant, the Demon King God.
Her whole body was wrapped in divine power, and her bright silver armor seemed to glow on its own. The knights following her seemed to be in a panic and couldn't keep up.
It has long been mentioned in the intelligence that Princess Viola likes to charge forward, and the soldiers of Avarus will burst out with great enthusiasm every time they see the princess fighting with them.
Moreover, the fact that Viola was chosen by the Demon King and God has long been spread throughout the seven demon kingdoms. It is not surprising that she possesses the power of the Demon King and God.
No one could stop her, not even the heavily armored outpost infantry, but she would easily tear it into pieces with an ordinary long sword like a piece of paper. She opened the city wall all by herself. At the gap, a large number of Avarus soldiers shouted 'For Her Royal Highness the Princess! ’ Rush up the city wall from the siege tower.
Can this be handled as well?
Can handle it.
The general who defended the city picked up a long bow that had been kept beside him, and then picked up a special arrow with a spiral arrow.
When he pulled the string of the bow, surging magical light gathered on the bow arms and spread to the arrows. The arrows began to automatically rotate at high speed as if they were lit.
Even if she is chosen by God, she is still a mortal, and mortals will be easily killed!
This bow and the matching arrows are weapons specially used to kill Viola.
The general aimed at Viola, who was dashing forward on the city wall. He let go of his hand, and the arrow broke through the air. The high-speed rotating arrow seemed to have stirred up a whirlwind, and flew straight towards Viola.
This general's crossbow skills can make the tree elves who are best at this ability applaud. He is very confident that he will not miss.
The arrow tore through the air, tore up the flags blocking the way, and even tore apart our own soldiers who accidentally ran into the shooting line. They still flew towards Viola with undiminished power.
Hit!
The general's heart has begun to jump for joy, and he has already made a judgment of a hit.
However, a ray of holy light fell from the sky, blocking Viola and the arrow.
The specially made arrows seemed to be melted into the holy light, without any movement.
Until a second or two later, the holy light weakened, and a mechanical angel appeared from the dissipated holy light. It flapped its wings and its luminous feathers began to fall.
That special arrow was held in the hands of the mechanical angel. The arrow, which was still spinning wildly, could not break free from the hands of the mechanical angel, and was eventually crushed by it.
"What is that?!"
No one answered the general because no one knew.
At the same time, rays of holy light appeared everywhere in the Black Stone Fortress, as if falling from the top of the sky. The nine rays of holy light turned into nine mechanical angels. Counting the one protecting Viola, there were exactly ten.
