Chapter 624 Siege
Twilight City, the administrative hall, this building completed a month ago has now become the center of the entire Twilight City and even the territory of Twilight City.
When Richard is away, this place controls all aspects of Twilight City and is the well-deserved hub.
There are more than two thousand people working here.
Carew, as the top person in charge of the administrative hall, is sitting in the first position on the left, staring at dozens of senior officials in the hall.
The main seat is vacant at all times, and the only person qualified to sit on it is the Lord of the city.
Woohoo~ The war horn outside the window is like a huge boulder weighing on everyone's heart.
The air was deathly still.
In silence, Karu stood up slowly, placed his hands on the table, and his cloudy eyes gradually became sharper, like a hunting falcon.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
The officials in the room felt inexplicably that this old man with gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and even a bit of a stoop seemed to be as tall as a giant.
After Karu glanced around, he spoke in a low voice with a hoarse and solemn tone.
"Did you hear that?"
"The horn of war has sounded. Our enemy is coming."
Everyone in the room subconsciously straightened their bodies and slowed down their breathing.
"The Devil of the Nine Hells."
Karu added as light and heavy as a mountain.
"You should know how powerful, ferocious, crazy, and bloodthirsty these evil beings are"
"No one is willing to face them."
The moment he finished speaking, the aging Karu slapped his right hand fiercely on the table, and the violent sound suddenly woke everyone up.
The veins on the old man's neck bulged high, like a small snake squirming, and his usually calm and kind face now became extremely ferocious, like a wild beast that chooses people to devour.
The hoarse voice roared hysterically.
"But we have no retreat!"
"The City of Twilight is beneath our feet!"
"This is our home, our support, the holy place we want to protect with our lives and souls!"
"Unless we fall, no one can set foot in this city!"
"The adults are watching us!"
"Every citizen of Twilight City is blessing us!"
"These eyes cannot be let down!"
"Fight to the death!"
The high-pitched and hoarse tone did not have the inciting power attached to the skill, but at this moment, under the echo of the war horn, everyone present was shocked.
It's time for them to step up.
The person at the front suddenly stood up, slapped the table and roared.
"Fight to the death!"
The remaining people also came to their senses, stood up in unison, and roared ferociously.
"Fight to the death!"
A proud voice can suppress the roar of a dragon!
Woohoo~
The dull sound of the war horn is like the low cry of a vulture circling the sky, and every echo represents the approaching death.
Devils, countless devils are like locusts crossing the border, and a large black mass completely covers the desert in front of the Twilight City.
Looking from the sky, the desert was covered by a blood-colored ocean, and a brutal and dark aura rose into the sky. Even the soldiers in the field who were dozens of kilometers away felt the uneasiness coming from their souls at this moment.
Unlike chaotic evil demons, demons are symbols of lawful evil, and their most terrifying aspect is their strict and cruel discipline.
Even in the entire lawful camp, there is no second race whose order can rival that of the devil.
Anyone who breaks the rules will be killed.
Even if they make a mistake in their steps, the Devil Overseer will execute the culprit without hesitation.
The bloody laws allow the devil to abide by the rules to the letter and strictly observe order.
Therefore, only the devils in the ninth plane can be compared with the bottomless abyss that has countless evil gods and cannot see the edge.
It has a curved sharp horn on its head, a tail of burning flames on its back, a trident in its hand, and a standard armor on its body. Its blood-colored pupils reflect the dim world.
Under the exposed helmet is a ferocious and brutal face. In the open mouth are teeth countless times sharper than razors, which can easily tear through steel.
The uniform pace of the demon army gives people a great visual impact.
Looking at it, it looks like a military parade, so neat that one wonders whether it is a mechanical creation.
The long yellow sand, the bright sun, and the light from the main plane cannot dispel the darkness brought by the devil at this moment.
The army presses the territory.
Facing such an enemy, no matter how strong the top players were, they would have already fallen into despair and fear.
But the Twilight City was not affected at all, and everything was running in an orderly manner.
Although this city is located in the desert, it has suffered a lot of wars and has a plan to deal with everything.
On the towering and solid city wall, the King of the Forbidden Army, the Stone Statue of the Dead, the Mummy Guardian, the Mummy Guards, and the Sandstorm Controller. The active troops of the Twilight City are all in place.
The dark army was waiting, and cold murderous intent enveloped the front.
The weapon tightly held in his hand can unleash the most powerful attack at any time.
The muzzle of the alchemy cannon, whose caliber is so exaggerated that a person can climb into it, has been raised, and the gray dwarf behind it is driving a mechanical puppet to quickly fill the cannonballs.
There are magic towers standing at regular intervals. These magic towers are releasing majestic energy, forming a semicircular magic shield in the sky of Twilight City, which is thick enough to block all magic damage.
In addition, there are a large number of extremely eye-catching figures mixed in.
The bodies of these strange soldiers are mainly composed of alchemical machinery, and the body surface is covered by skinless red muscles. Those muscles are like thin threads crawling. At first glance, they look bloody and terrifying, but upon closer inspection, they become more and more obvious. It's heart-warming.
There is no one driving these flesh and blood machines, and there is no escape of magic energy. If you feel carefully, you can clearly feel the soul breath exuding from these alchemy machines.
life.
These monsters are not dead objects, but mechanical creations with life.
These terrifying creations are alien weapons developed by Aundair, the top genius who researched the madman, integrated the blacksmiths of the underground world, and established the Blacksmiths Association, using extraordinary hunters and gray dwarf world destroyers.
This forbidden art, which is close to creating life, has appeared half a year ago. After more than half a year of improvement, coupled with the massive resources provided by the rapid growth of Twilight City, it has finally reached a level that can be manufactured in batches.
Flesh machine, level: 16, potential: special creation.
The flesh and blood machine is not an ordinary military unit, but is produced directly by the Gray Dwarf's machinery factory. If you want to count it, it is actually a military unit of the Fortress Clan.
Under Andel's research, this top-notch unit that has reached level 16 has been mass-produced in Furnace City!
The most terrifying thing about the fortress type of troops is that as long as there are enough resources, you can have unlimited troops!
Even if other races have resources, they still need to wait for the troop nests to cool down. The Fortress race directly uses industrial troops.
In "Age of Glory", the Fortress race is the only race that can match the strength of the undead - as long as the resources are in place.
The technology for producing top-level arms is a top secret that only a few forces can control, even among the Fortress clan.
Andel single-handedly provided Twilight City with a top-notch troop source.
Amidst the reverberation of the horns, the demon army quickly approached the safety line.
The tense atmosphere suddenly exploded.
"The whole army is ready!"
Gray, the mummy hero responsible for commanding the war, had his soul fire flashing and his angry voice resounding through the sky.
"Alchemy cannon, fire!"
Bang bang~ bang bang~
The war drums suddenly thundered.
The next second, there was a rumble and thunder in the nine heavens exploded.
Countless bursts of light.
Above and behind the city wall, the filled alchemy cannons sprayed out terrifying tongues of fire.
The powerful recoil caused the alchemy machinery controlled by the gray dwarves to stagger to varying degrees.
The ammunition with an exaggerated diameter smashed into the dense demon army at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
Bang~
Large swathes of mushroom clouds rose from the ground.
The scorching heat, the shrapnel flying in all directions, the violent shock wave, and the violent sound all mixed together, and the devil's army fell like wheat, with broken limbs and fragments flying all over the sky.
The rich smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke floated over the desert, and the thick smoke and dust raised by the yellow sand almost covered the sun.
The screams kept ringing out in the thick smoke, and the devil's voice was sharp and harsh, making people feel inexplicably chilling.
But even such terrifying artillery fire could not stop the pace of the demon army. These exaggerated numbers of dark beings, after the artillery fire stopped slightly, showed no fear and continued to surround them from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
After the second wave of offensive started, a sharp sound different from the horns of Twilight City sounded, and streaks of bloody light flashed out from the demon army.
Hell magic.
Boom~
The magic with terrifying energy fluctuations directly collided fiercely with the magic shield of Twilight City.
The magic shield rippled, as if a giant stone had been thrown into the water.
But the shield was indeed strong enough, and those magics were directly deflected or melted, without breaking the defense.
Some magic hit the alchemy bomb in the air, and the two destroyed each other, blooming hot sparks in mid-air.
The confrontation between magic and alchemical technology.
In the desert outside the City of Dusk, three terrifying-looking devil lords were standing on a 100-meter-high platform made of gravel, looking at the battlefield.
Surrounding them are all legendary demon soldiers. Even from a thousand meters away, they can feel the evil rising from the sky.
Headed by the three men is the first level ruler who rules the nine levels of hell, the devil lord Bayer.
This boss is completely burning with evil flames, holds a flaming sword, and looks very similar to the Balrog. He is the master who presides over the endless bloody battles between hell and the abyss.
With a great reputation, no matter how kind and resolute the knight is, he will feel sincere fear when facing this devil lord.
He said in a hoarse voice.
"The intersection of destiny, one of the starting points of the new era must be occupied by us!"
"No one can stop the Lord's will!"
Bayer's tone was high-pitched.
"Intensify the offensive effort, no need to worry about casualties. If we cannot seize the opportunity in the great changes, then these troops will become meaningless."
Like the demons of the Abyss and the undead in the plane of the dead, high-level demons have no mercy for low-level armies.
In hell, the only meaning of the army's existence is to realize the will of the higher devil.
Cruel and bloody.
This battle that broke out deep in the desert was not known to the outside world, but its intensity was enough to make anyone pay attention.
This is fucking hell! !
But unexpectedly, Fang Hell's attack did not go as smoothly as the superior devil lord had expected.
The army in their hands that could make the main plane tremble was actually blocked in front of the towering city wall.
The invincible army stagnated under the sharp edge of the Twilight City.
Alchemy cannons, arrow towers, and a large number of high-level troops turned the Twilight City into a flesh-and-blood mill, strangulating everything crazily.
The devil's army, whose attack was ineffective, discovered the quicksand land to the north of ↑ the next day.
Those space gates aroused great interest in these demons.
A large part of the troops began to extend to the north.
In this desert, the devil army began to fight head-on with the level 22 extraordinary army - the dark tree people.
The Dark Treeman, who was over thirty meters in size, was as crazy as a meat grinder when facing the devil army.
Even if they were organized and had military formations, the ferocious devils were smashed to pieces in front of these violent giants.
After five consecutive hours of attacking, they failed to make any progress.
Those devil lords did not expect that their army could not even capture a corner of the Twilight City!
In anger, he directly threw in the few extraordinary soldiers.
The rules of the main plane are still restricting the abyss and hell. Their extraordinary troops cannot be dispatched without restraint.
But what shocked them even more was that even if the extraordinary army joined, it did not achieve the desired effect.
The dark tree men occupying the land of quicksand are like unshakable mountains, keeping all the devils out.
A devil lord did not believe in evil and went to investigate in person. Then he was shocked to find that among these dark tree men, there were dozens of extraordinary heroes. Although these heroes were much weaker than normal extraordinary ones, the number was so large. No one dares to ignore it.
On the third day when the war broke out, the demon army still made no progress. The three demon lords had become really angry, and the troops invested by the other side became more and more abnormal.
The pressure in Twilight City gradually becomes apparent.
In the administrative hall, after listening to the battle report, Karu let out a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow morning, if those damn devils continue to oppress the Land of Quicksand, implement the second plan - directly abandon the Land of Quicksand, destroy the space gate over there, and communicate with the underground world and the El Plane through the Eternal Land .”
"We cannot keep the door to space any longer. Once the devil takes control, the consequences will be disastrous."
As soon as he finished speaking, an official in his early forties stood up and said calmly.
"Sir, we don't necessarily need to give up the land of quicksand. This can become our second battlefield to share the pressure on Twilight City."
"If there are no other forces to attract the devil's attention, the pressure we have to bear will be extremely exaggerated."
"But for safety reasons, you can leave only the entrance to the Eternal Land. The El Plane and the underground world are all closed."
After Kalu was silent, he nodded.
"Yes, but you still have to be prepared to abandon this area at any time."
The official said silently that anyone who encounters such an enemy must face it with the utmost vigilance.
Then he seemed to think of something and hesitated.
"Sir, although we have the support of the underground world and the plane of El, the devil's offensive is so fierce that our military supplies and combat readiness may not last long. We still need more reinforcements"
Before he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps at the door.
In the blink of an eye, a young messenger came in panting and began to report before he could stand still.
"Lord Karu, people from the royal family of the Templar Empire are here"
"In addition, the Frostwolf family messenger has also arrived."
"Representatives from the El Players Association and the El Alliance have arrived."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Are these reinforcements?
While the others were in a surprised and excited mood, Karu stood up slowly, his cloudy eyes becoming deep.
"The real war has just begun."
As he spoke, he turned his head towards the location of Solan City, his eyes flickering on and off.
“And the pressure adults have to bear is ten times a hundred times that of us!”
"In the city of twilight, there is absolutely no room for error."
"Everyone, don't let me down!"
The powerful words made everyone straighten their chests and the flames in their eyes were burning. (End of chapter)
