Nearly 200 angels, all at the lowest level of 8, caused great chaos on the city wall.
Whether it is an archangel or a seraph, with the blessing of Elvi, the damage is extremely high. Even the 8th level black dragon with the bonus of Moriel can break through the defense.
There are many people on the city wall of Aini, but there are not many high-level soldiers.
The royal guards with the highest defense, the captain of the guard, all surrounded Aini.
Xu Lai didn't let Elvi kill Aini. He had heard about it before when the orcs were fighting the empire.
Aini, an old scumbag, not only laid a large trap around him, but also tied up the flying troops in the stronghold.
He also ambushed many master assassins and invisible assassins like Hunters.
This previous move had worked wonders against the stronghold. Xu Lai would not let his precious angel take risks.
The facts are just as Xu Lai expected. In addition to the royal guards and the captain of the guard, Aini also has a large number of assassins around him.
These people have extremely poor defense capabilities and low health points. Their attack power is terrifying, and most of them have the characteristic of ignoring defense, so anyone can be hurt.
In addition to these assassins, Aini also retained the trap plan provided by the tower wizards.
He knew that Xu Lai would not let him go, so he prepared all the materials for the trap early and asked his chief mage to arrange it before letting him go to the stronghold.
Otherwise, his collusion with the orcs in the stronghold would have enabled them to invade at least a month earlier, and maybe the orcs would be able to invade during the New Year.
It's a pity that the angels from Xu Lai didn't come close at all, and they all dispersed to deal with their own catapults.
Although the catapults in this castle are ordinary, the pyrotechnic bombs used are extraordinary.
This thing costs one thousand gold coins. It explodes as soon as it is thrown out. It is as powerful as a rocket. Even with the ultimate defense technique and ultimate resistance body protection, it is still unbearable.
It's a pity that Xu Lai's army is not large, and the catapults and operators are not top-notch.
Otherwise, if it exploded directly in the crowd like it did when it smashed the orcs, Xu Lai's more than 5,000 people would not be able to withstand a few rounds of bombardment.
But now that Seraph is here, the controllers are all a group of militiamen, and they have no combat power at all. These people do not dare to attack Seraph at all.
As soon as the angels spread their wings, the militiamen and civilians beside the catapult ran away with a roar.
Ani was furious, but there was nothing he could do to stop more people from escaping.
Especially when each mercenary climbed up the city wall from the long ladder, wearing the sacred armor for more than a minute, even more people dropped their weapons and ran away.
The Aini family is not popular among the people. The army still has morale, but the civilian husbands are all kidnapped. No one is willing to fight for Aini.
The fact that the civilians escaped is nothing. At most, it affects the supply speed of the continuous battle. Anyway, there are phantom shooters under the city, and no one dares to push those long ladders.
With hundreds of high-level phantom sword masters and phantom sharpshooters, the number of arrows is more terrifying than Aini's thousands-strong archer group.
Aini's shooters are protected by city walls, but their range, power, and even numbers are far inferior to these phantom shooters.
After the mercenaries climbed up the city wall, even the mercenaries bought by Aini were no match at all.
Without him, Xu Lai outside the city raised his prophetic sword high, and the light of ultimate prayer had long fallen on everyone's head.
After suppressing the shooters on the city wall and preventing them from taking the lead, the mages and priests, under the command of Yu Lan and Elena, approached the city wall.
The light of the healing spell is constantly falling, and the fire rays and freezing rays shot out from time to time are also quite terrifying.
Being completely suppressed, Aini had to take action and took the lead in using strategic spells.
Without too much hesitation, Aini went blind and shrouded the heads of the phantom shooters.
Control this group of shooters, and Aini's own shooters can take the lead.
Even if you can't knock down the mercenaries who climbed up the city wall, as long as you can beat back the priests and mages below the city, it's good news.
Without the output of the mage and the treatment of the priest, there is only a group of mercenaries with weak output capabilities and far fewer numbers than their own mercenaries. Sooner or later they will be driven off the city wall.
Unfortunately, blindness is a fire spell. Aini does not have the bonus of fire magic, so he can only select one unit at most.
Xu Lai is now the dominant side, so he is not in a hurry to release spells, but wants to strike in advance and take advantage of them.
Aini threw a blindness, and Xu Lai responded with a healer, which not only restored a little of the life consumed by the shooter during the shooting, but also relieved his own negative status.
Aini was not surprised to see that his blindness did not work.
Hell is good at fire and dark spells, while the empire is good at water and holy light spells.
Dispersing magic and healing happened to be within the scope of magic that the Empire was good at. It was not surprising that Xu Lai could use them.
However, after Xu Lai finished healing his wounds, Aini took out a spell scroll from his arms and decisively tore it into pieces.
Master level [Dispersion Technique]: Eliminate the influence of magic attached to all troops.
Aini has long noticed the golden light on these people. He has seen the prayer spell, and Duer presided over this spell.
The existence of this layer of golden light, whether it is those mercenaries or shooters, the damage and speed are extremely terrifying.
Especially those phantom shooters. The two long-range troops of our own crossbowmen and shooters can't compare to the terrifying speed of those phantom shooters when they shoot continuously.
Phantom shooters are inherently agile and are of a higher level, usually level 7 or 8. They have divine speed and prayer bonuses, so they are naturally terrifying.
Ordinary people really can’t imagine that a mere few hundred shooters could suppress a shooter ten times their own and occupy a powerful location.
The key point is that even if Aini is willing to shoot casualties, he can't bear it.
Even if our own shooters are blessed by the city wall, they can't even break through the defense of the opponent's shooters without a critical hit. There is no luck blessing this month, resulting in extremely poor output capabilities.
In fact, this is basically the huge attribute gap between the two sides and the bonus brought by the morale of both sides.
The ultimate prayer is just the icing on the cake.
Blue light flashed, and all the BUFFs and debuffs on the battlefield were cleared.
Seeing this, Xu Lai also said: "If I had known, I would have released it later, and it would have saved me a chance to cast a spell."
Yu Lan smiled and said: "If you didn't let go, he would definitely I prefer to control our shooter and will never release this dispersal method."
Xu Lai shrugged and said, "I just feel a little shortchanged. This guy actually compared my financial resources with mine."
Xu Lai was too lazy to acquire the basic spell casting scrolls himself. Wei Yihong and the others were responsible for them.
In Xu Lai's space backpack, there are just a lot of high-level spell scrolls seized due to various difficult battles. If you take out any one at random, it is far more advanced than this master-level dispersal method.
However, he did not intend to waste it too much. He also selected a low-level spell scroll, but this spell would be very useful even after the battle is over.
What appeared in Xu Lai's hand was an earthy yellow spell scroll.
And when Xu Lai tore it open, a yellow halo enveloped the entire city.
This is the ultimate slowing method, which can directly envelope the entire enemy army and reduce their basic movement speed and attack speed by a quarter. Since the slowness method reduces the basic movement speed, if the enemy has talents such as speed or specialization such as logistics, it will be reduced even more.
Xu Lai chose the slow method between attack acceleration and slow method.
Because this spell will always affect all enemies as long as it is not dispelled.
The others didn't care. Xu Lai was afraid that Aini would escape again. This guy escaped from Reina's hands before.
With the influence of the slowing method, if Aini wants to run away, it will be easier for Xu Lai to find it and catch him back.
Sure enough, as soon as the slowing down method came to an end, Aini felt uncomfortable all over, as if hundreds of kilograms of weight had been added to his body out of thin air.
The most important thing is that this slow method also greatly affects the secret tactics he deployed.
Although the dark assassins are in a state of invisibility, they are still affected by the slow method.
If they were attacked at this time, he was afraid that it would be too late to mobilize rescue.
Aini could clearly feel the eager eyes on the city wall.
Even if we ignore the powerful angel Elvy, our mercenaries and infantry, under the support of the enemy's mages and the desperate advance of the mercenaries, the formation becomes increasingly precarious.
Not long after the battle started, less than half an hour after the first boulder was thrown, more than 3,000 of our own soldiers were killed, and countless civilians escaped.
There is really no way. Although our own troops have a huge advantage, their combat effectiveness is vastly different.
Seeing that morale had dropped below 50, if he wanted to remove the effect of the slow spell, he would have to wait until the next time he could cast the spell.
Another defeat seemed inevitable, but Aini seemed hesitant about whether to escape again.
This city has its own guard, he is in charge, and the soldiers he has recruited over the past few months are also in this castle.
If he still runs away under such circumstances, then retreating to another city will be nothing more than another defeat, and the defeat will be even more miserable than this time.
There was no hope of escaping to another city. If he really wanted to survive, he could only give up the grassland and see if the nobles elsewhere could take him in.
This hope is not great, and Aini doesn't know anyone in the Southern Empire or the Eastern Empire that has nothing to do with Xu Lai.
In the Western Empire, where he had many friends, all the people he knew were already dead. Even if there were still some who were still alive, it would be enough for him to take him in. What would they do to take him in?
The ruler of the Northern Empire is said to owe Xu Lai a big favor, so it may not be a good choice for him to defect to the past.
And if the Northern Empire doesn't choose, then the only choice is to defect to the orcs.
However, there is a huge difference in the treatment you can get if you surrender to the orcs as a ruler and if you surrender to the orcs as a loser.
What's more, with the cruel nature of the orcs, there will really be room for the next human being there.
Seeing that more and more soldiers on their side are retreating, the angels have taken off to watch the battle and no longer participate in the battle.
Aini knew that a decision had to be made.
"Xu Lai, you and I have been entangled in our grievances for more than half a year.
Although I have done something sorry for you, I have also given you some help!"
From the vanguard flag, to replenishing Xu Lai's lost warriors, to granting fiefs and titles, Aini had indeed helped him as he said.
Although he did not do it voluntarily, after all, there were so many heroes participating in the battle, and he was the only one who received additional troops.
This provided great assistance for his early development.
Xu Lai rode forward and replied loudly: "What do you want, just say it!"
Aini shouted at Xu Lai:
"You killed my own son. You and I are sworn enemies of each other. But do you have the guts to duel with me and completely settle our grudges with a sacred duel?"
Xu Lai was surprised. He didn't expect that Aini He actually wants to challenge him.
Just when he was about to agree, Yu Lan on the side quickly stopped him and said:
"No, Mr. Lang, look at that Aini, he didn't even talk to us, he didn't even get close to the city wall, he just stood there.
He must be surrounded by traps at every turn.
Aini is struggling to his death now and will definitely die. You cannot take this risk. "
At this time, Aini has almost three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Although Xu Lai doesn't know what he has planned, he can be sure that there must be a trap.
However, Xu Lai was relatively confident in himself. He smiled slightly and said:
“This matter can be regarded as my cause and effect, and it is a good thing that I can resolve it myself.
Of course, I am not a fool. No matter how confident I am, there is no need to run into other people's traps in vain.
You will go to the city with me later, prepare the spell secretly, and release it when you hear my command. "
There is no mage around Aini now. Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to secretly bring people to cast spells.
Theoretically, Aini, a knight, does not have enough energy to perceive
In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Lai asked Yu Lan to bring only a few magicians with him to cast spells together
The Point General Order obtained by Xu Lai was naturally used by him on Yu Lan, which also gave Yu Lan the general characteristic of jointly casting spells, but jointly releasing more powerful spells.
Seeing that Xu Lai has no so-called chivalry spirit, Yu Lan smiled slightly and said:
"If that's the case, then I'll be relieved. Anyway, Aini shouldn't be able to kill him instantly. I'll kill you."
Xu Lai rolled his eyes, slapped the thick flesh pad behind Yu Lan and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Xu Lai agreed to the duel. At the request, Aini simply asked someone to open the city gate directly.
Anyway, as long as Xu Lai can be killed, all the recruited soldiers under his command will have to disperse without posing a threat.
And if Xu Lai couldn't be killed in this way, he estimated that he would either escape or die. If the city gate couldn't be opened, what did it matter?
On the wide city wall, the two sides are clearly separated.
Obviously there are more people on Aini’s side, but few of them have smiles on their faces.
On the other hand, Xu Lai fought for nearly an hour and killed a lot of people, but his own side could not even be found injured, not to mention dead in battle.
"Come on, either you will die today or I will live!" As soon as Xu Lai finished speaking, he immediately rushed over with his sword.
In order to show respect for the ancient tradition of duel, all troops from both sides hid behind the two men.
Aini narrowed his eyes, and the metal armor on his body flashed with light. The trap was already prepared, but he was not in a hurry to activate it.
I used the two-handed sword that I was used to, and swung it hard in front of Xu Lai, and a sword energy immediately hit Xu Lai. (End of this chapter)
