Amid the biting cold wind, on the last day of August, the weather in the North experienced another dramatic change.
However, opposite Xu Lai was a group of steaming monsters.
I don’t know if it was Xu Lai’s insulting book of decisive battle that made the demons in hell unable to bear it anymore.
The pressure from the top still makes these hell lords no longer able to remain indifferent.
Or maybe the demons who failed to lure the enemy yesterday and felt deceived collectively broke out.
In short, to Xu Lai's surprise, on the last day before he left, a hell lord actually accepted the letter of challenge.
This hell lord is none other than Xu Lai's only target for this trip, Aulima, who has just joined the hell camp not long ago.
Olimar was a woman, and an extremely obese woman.
She is so out of tune with the hell camp troops behind her.
Even her personal guards are a group of Imperial swordsmen wearing Imperial heavy armor.
Next to these imperial swordsmen, there were horned demon governors who were more than two meters tall and wore heavy armor.
The Horned Demon Warlord is a 6th level troop in Hell, and one of the few pure human shield troops in Hell.
Olimar's Horned Demon Warlords are quite numerous, more than a thousand in total.
Coupled with two thousand horned devils and horned demons, these more than 3,000 human shields barely formed a thick flesh-and-blood city wall in Olima.
On top of this city wall, there are countless fire elves and a mixed force of fire elves floating at a glance, at least 2,000.
Fire elves are nothing, but fire elves are definitely one of Xu Lai's most troublesome and annoying hell troops.
Behind the Horned Demon Governor and Aulima are tall fire demons. Their number is not that many. Elvi in the sky told Xu Lai that there should be only 500-800 fire demons. about.
However, there are a large number of Magog and Gog mixed troops on the left and right sides of the hell army. The total number should not be less than 5,000.
Other than that, there seemed to be no other troops in hell. Xu Lai dismounted his horse and felt it, but did not notice any movement underground.
Either Hell did not send out the Crypt Devil, or the Crypt Devil and Crypt Spider evolved again, evolved to a high-level form, and shuttled through the soil without making any movement.
Xu Lai doesn't quite believe it's the latter, but he will also make relevant preparations.
The two sides are several kilometers apart. After Yan Feng and the others found out about the hell, Xu Lai started to prepare.
After seeing Yan Feng, Hell's troops also formed a neat team early and approached Xu Lai step by step.
“My knight, Aulima, found no other hell army behind him.”
Lina quickly said: “On the lava land, the nearest city to us is only more than 20 Kilometers
If they stock up a large number of flying soldiers and crypt demons there, and fly out to support us while we are fighting Aulima, they can join the battle in less than ten minutes.
Whether there are enemies behind Aulima doesn't mean anything. ”
Although Lina wants to fight the hell army far more than Xu Lai, as a commander, she must make more comprehensive judgments and preparations.
Xu Lai nodded and looked around He looked at the terrain around him and said:
“The terrain at this location is uneven and it is relatively close to the lava land. Let’s move back a few kilometers first. ”
Where the Northern Empire and the Southern Empire intersect, there is an extremely broad plain, but the further north you go, the higher the altitude becomes, and the terrain gradually becomes uneven.
At the tower further north, it is even rarer to find a flat terrain. This is the fundamental reason why the mages gave up on the knights and looked for Naga to rely on as a pillar again.
Xu Lai has pathfinding skills, and the impact of terrain on them is not as great as expected, but it is still a little bit.
Since Hell has decided to keep the appointment, he will not retreat easily. Xu Lai should also choose a suitable battlefield for himself.
Otherwise, as Lina said, Hell can support you at any time and suddenly appear when Xu Lai and Aulima's troops are mixed together.
If Xu Lai fails, his entire army will really be wiped out and they will all hang out here.
Lina had no objection, so Xu Lai gave Yan Feng an order to start delaying the enemy's advance and attack.
How to delay, of course, use long-range bow and arrow troops.
After temporary adjustments, Tahan's troops temporarily served as Xu Lai's guards, while Yan Feng and Joseph's troops merged into archers and cavalry units to fight.
There are a small number of knights at Joseph's side, but most of them have advanced into mercenaries. Together with Yan Feng's 18 heroes, they are also a force that cannot be ignored.
More than a hundred cavalry archers, with the increase of Xu Lai's advanced archery skills, are also powerful.
Especially Aulima, who was a human before, so her intelligence information is relatively complete in the temple.
After joining hell, Aulima's level improved a bit, but before that she was only level 16 and came from an ordinary noble family who luckily inherited the talent for magic.
Talent is something like this. No matter how she changes her alignment, even if she transforms into a demon, she will only make certain changes. It will never change at all.
For example, if the family of a talented knight is resurrected by the undead and becomes an undead hero, then his talent will be transformed into an undead knight, which is closely related to the knight. Therefore, Lina judged that Aulima's talent was still weak, and his level was around level 20. It was impossible to exceed level 26 anyway.
In terms of attributes, Aulima's strength, physique and agility are all weak, so most of the equipment is mainly used to defend itself and avoid being beheaded by the enemy.
Elwee had previously reported that she smelled the smell of a great devil in Olima's troops, which shows that this woman is very concerned about her own protection.
In terms of specialization, the specialties are weak. Aulima must have the ultimate water magic. After joining Hell, the ultimate fire magic should also be a must.
As long as you are a mage, you can generally learn other earth magic and air magic.
Then the two most important skills of a mage, one is the magic power to increase spell damage and duration. Previous information said that Aulima has learned this specialization to the master level.
The other is an intelligence skill that greatly increases the upper limit of mana. It should also be advanced or above.
As a mage hero, wisdom is a must-learn spell, and even if you don't master the forbidden spell, you must upgrade it to a high level.
If you think about it this way, Aulima's level will hardly add much to physical combat.
Although this hell army is huge in number, as long as Xu Lai's troops can get closer, he is very sure that he will win the final victory.
Of course, victory comes at a price.
The resurrection ability of the angels is still there today, but even including the resurrection after 12 o'clock today, a total of more than 3,200 lives can be resurrected.
Even if you don’t count the level 6 knights, there are more than 3,200, and there are at most a dozen knights’ retinues.
Therefore, while retreating, Xu Lai also had to decide the most important issue, whether to fight or not.
Although Xu Lai is the commander of this unit, Xu Lai left this question to Lina.
It's not that he can't make a decision, but that he prefers them to make their own decision, because this sacrifice will most likely have to be borne by these temple knights.
"Your Majesty Commander, if you want to ask me, I can only tell you:
In the face of evil, the Temple Knights will never back down!"
Linara He took off his mask and replied loudly.
“Never back down, never back down!”
The temple knights collectively expressed their determination, and Xu Lai said unambiguously: "Okay, if you say fight, then we will fight."
After unloading the forbidden magic ball, Xu Lai asked the Holy Light Knights to collectively Cast Divine Blessing.
The Holy Blessing is stronger than the Paladin's Blessing, and can increase everyone's offensive and defensive attributes by 15 points.
Originally, these blessing spells were mostly released by the Paladins for themselves, because they still had to retain enough mana to release the holy healing spell.
But now, with the support of Xu Lai's Holy Light Knights and Paladins, more than 2,000 knights have all been blessed with blessing effects.
When charging head-on later, in order not to be affected by the enemy's spells, Xu Lai must continue to equip the forbidden magic ball.
With the Forbidden Magic Ball, the spells that are actively released such as Lay on Hand, Blessing, Holy Shield, and Holy Armor cannot be released anymore.
The only thing they can release is the high-level Holy Light Knight, a sacrifice that requires burning life to release.
Sacrifice consumes life and faith, so it is not a spell and can ignore the effect of the magic ball.
Xu Lai spent a lot of money this time. In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, he gathered all the Holy Light Knights under his command, a total of 24.
They will charge on the first echelon, and when they enter the enemy's Magog range, they will collectively sacrifice.
Olimar was determined this time. His immediate boss, Kerrigan, directly passed over his immediate superior, Sellon, and spoke to Olimar.
Olimar didn't expect that he asked Qimeng to hide behind him and make the bait himself. Instead, the enemy was attracted by Qimeng.
Qimeng, as Kerrigan's beloved concubine, was directly rescued by Kerrigan using magic. It was said that she still lost her life, and Kerrigan was very angry about this.
In addition to offending the boss, Aulima also greatly offended his colleagues.
Everyone donated troops, money, and efforts to him. In the end, Aulima did nothing except give away 5,000 soldiers.
Of course, she made some moves, but they didn't work. We can't expect these demons to forgive Aulima because of this.
Olimar has just joined the hell camp, and he has offended all his bosses and colleagues at once, so he might as well stop being around in the future.
Therefore, Olimar had to take action as a last resort.
In this decisive battle, Aulima is more imperative than Xu Lai.
Moreover, in order to prevent Xu Lai from avoiding the battle, Aulima did not even dare to bring out all her troops. At least the 200 evil gods, some fire trolls and so on she had intercepted were still in her city.
Other demon lords also promised that once the two sides are fighting, they will immediately send troops to support. Aulima's main task is to contain the opponent. (End of this chapter)
