Chapter 234 Defending the City
Nohir ran towards that direction at a constant speed. Thanks to the experience of living in this city for a period of time, he could recognize most of the roads even without Ska leading the team. And the scenery seen along the way is also different from the eastern half of the city.
There are almost no corpses on the streets of Chengshi in the eastern half of the city, but in the western half of the city, you can see some mutilated dead bodies almost every few hundred meters.
There are humans and demons among these corpses, but most of them are humans. No one has collected the corpses, so they are just dumped on the street casually. The devils are not worried that these corpses may be taken away after they rot. The reason for the disease is that their bodies are strong enough to make them immune to most injuries, and the second reason is that just these corpses cannot keep up with the intensity of daily wars in hell.
In hell, unless you want to eat their flesh, no one will deal with the defeated dead. The environment of hell itself will make them rot, decompose and digest quickly, but in this ten thousand Meters high in the air, these corpses do not rot so quickly. If not dealt with in time, a huge plague will soon break out in this city. Those devils may be fine, but for the humans who are still surviving in the city, Say, this is a real natural disaster.
'One more reason to kill these devils. '
Nohir, who was running in hell, thought so, but to achieve this, their current strength alone was not enough, and these corpses also made Nohir realize that the city itself The guarding force may have been severely damaged, and may not even have the ability to organize a counterattack.
If the situation is really so bad, then Nohill will have to use some unconventional means.
Although every member of Nohir's current team has their own strengths and unique skills, once they face the well-established Devil Legion, let alone them, even the legendary ranger Ming Neither Sk nor Archmage Advisor Florrick combined were confident that they could be defeated.
Not to mention that if you want to achieve a tactical victory, you must destroy all of them to prevent these devils from passing the information to other legions.
It is almost impossible to do this, and if they really start a war with these devils casually, they can only gain a slight upper hand at the beginning of the confrontation, and then it is obvious that the group of people will definitely They will be in a stalemate in the battle with the legion. The devils will rely on the legion's battle formation to surround them. In this state, the entire team will have a very high possibility of attrition, or even the team may be wiped out.
But Nohir is different.
His unique skills can play a role far beyond that of ordinary people on the battlefield. By stimulating the wild beast soul attached to his body through the magic of chaos, Nohir can instantly transform into a flexible, powerful, violent and ferocious one. siege beast.
When in [Beast Form], he can definitely exert a lethality on the battlefield that is comparable to the charge of a group of organized steel guards. In that state, he can easily defeat most ordinary devils. , the rest of the team can take this opportunity to attack those demons with the ability to fly, in order to achieve a tactical victory.
Now Nohir has already reserved sufficient chaos magic power. During this journey to hell, he can transform into this form three times. Such a secret weapon can definitely bring What an unexpected surprise for these devils!
Of course, this kind of ability that can save lives at critical moments and has a limited number of uses does not actually want to be used casually. Firstly, it is difficult to explain, and secondly, because this ability itself is a trump card, unless it is really necessary. It takes this kind of power to break the situation.
As Nohir's thoughts turned, he had already approached the area of the Supreme Hall, and at this moment, the increased perception of the Crown of Control and the devil's own sensitive ears instantly captured some noisy sounds. It was the sound of battle, the roar of artillery, the clash of weapons, mixed with the roars of wild beasts and the roar of a thick, brutal sound.
The voice was madly cursing and commanding in Purgatory. Nohir used the cover of the ruined buildings in the city to slowly approach the battlefield, and then silently looked at the specific situation in the distance. . This is the High Hall of Eltoril, the administrative center of an entire country. This originally five-story gorgeous castle made of pale bricks and stones has now become dilapidated. The first half of the wall surrounding the castle has completely collapsed, and the fire And thick smoke continued to come from the castle, which had collapsed 2/3.
‘The High Hall has been destroyed! ’
Nohir was shocked when he saw this scene. He originally thought that the Hell Knights would rely on the walls of the hall to resist the demon army, but now it seems that the hall has long been lost, and even the castle has been destroyed.
'This appearance should be caused by the nine-ring spell [Meteor Explosion]. This situation is consistent with the impression of this spell in my memory. This destructive power... maybe this city can organize resistance. The high-ranking figures were almost dead when this meteorite hit them. ’
This speculation instantly caused a layer of haze to envelope him, but the sound of fighting in the distance quickly brought his unstable thoughts back to the original place.
'No, it has been more than ten days since the city fell into hell. Under such circumstances, if the resisters do not have a strong enough leader to unite them, even if they are Hell Knights, they will never be able to hold on for long. Those who are fighting The sound is proof! Someone is leading the remaining Hell Knights to fight! Who is that person? Could it be the Grand Duke of Ravengard? ’
Nohir didn’t know, so he immediately ran towards the Supreme Hall after coming out of the ruins.
There is currently no devil guarding the main entrance of the hall. There is a vast open space outside the collapsed city wall, and there is also a quite wide open space between the inside of the city wall and the ruined castle, but Nohill did not look at this position. I didn't notice any devils. All the devils were behind the castle, and almost all of them were on the move.
‘What are they attacking? ’
Nohir lurked from the shadows on the left side of the castle.
Nohir hid behind a huge piece of rubble. He finally saw the frontal battlefield. He did not expect that there was such a large-scale fortress behind the castle.
He saw many fully armed knights, relying on the city wall, constantly shooting the thorn demons flying in the sky with their bows and arrows, and the ballistae on the city wall did not stop for a moment.
These war machines kept attacking, trying to prevent the Devil Legion from approaching, because the gate of this fortress had been broken by some kind of creature. If they were not prevented from approaching, the fortress would be lost in a matter of minutes.
