The sound of war drums became louder and louder, and the gates of the base camp suddenly opened from both sides.
Dragon knight Sir Eric, riding the wild black dragon he had tamed himself, was the first to fly over the city gate.
Behind him was the Xianden Camp in Kasai Territory, which had just been expanded to 1,800 men.
Eric failed to convince the Marquis of Casse, but the Marquis of Casse could not stop his subordinates who really wanted to take revenge on the devil.
Xu Lai did not prepare equipment specifically for these 1,800 people. They were either mercenaries or private soldiers of the nobility. They were of high rank and had good equipment.
Qingfeng City is rich enough, with a statue of the God of War, a parliament, and many gold mines and trophies.
Xu Lai can only afford the basic equipment of ordinary soldiers. Only officers have a few pieces of magic equipment, as well as some holy water or life potions for self-defense.
In general, although the number of soldiers who entered the camp first was not large, they had the skeleton of an elite force.
However, they basically come from different teams, are not familiar with each other, and have no tacit understanding of cooperation.
If they want to truly become elites, they need to continue to hone themselves through constant fighting.
Sir Eric, who leads them, may not have the experience of leading a large army, but his military value is recognized.
The soldiers who entered the camp first were at least able to obey their commanders and fought bravely.
There is nothing wrong with being at the front of the queue first. Following them are the cavalry troops led by Xu Lai himself.
Xu Lai ordered to go out to fight. Many people were confused and didn't understand why they had to give up their advantages in vain.
Only the officers of the knight army were willing and supported Xu Lai. After all, the knights were in the city and could only be used as infantry.
The cavalry came around from the back of the city, and no one noticed that some knights in the huge cavalry queue were obviously separated from other knights.
In the city, what followed the warriors who first entered the camp was not the Qingfeng Legion led by Brandi, but Emilia's Naga Guards.
In fact, Brandy was not in the army at all. He led 10,000 infantrymen and 10,000 shooters to garrison the base camp, which was regarded as a retreat for Xu Lai.
As a guest army, Emilia was originally assigned the task of defending the city by Xu Lai.
However, Emilia told Xu Lai that the Naga clan had not experienced war for a long time and urgently needed a lot of combat experience.
If Xu Lai is willing to give priority to resurrecting their Naga, Emilia is willing to lead the Naga and charge into battle for Xu Lai.
Naga are an extremely powerful race. Their multiple arms allow them to hold multiple weapons at the same time to attack.
The only shortcoming of Naga is probably its attack speed and movement speed, which are lower than the average troops of the same level or even one level lower.
No way, there are more arms and it requires coordination. If the snake's tail is swimming, it is inevitable that it will be slower than the two feet.
But the Nagas in the Naga Guard have at least 4 arms. Even if the attack speed is slightly slower than that of soldiers of the same level, having an extra pair of arms will still make them nearly twice as fast.
Especially with the blessing of Xu Lai's talent, Naga's speed disadvantage was made up for a lot, and when passing through the trail of clouds and mist, it was even more comfortable.
Naga is a guest army, even if Emilia does not make such a request, Xu Lai will be resurrected first.
And the Nagas are of a higher level, with an average level of up to 6, which is much stronger than the average level 4 infantry of the Qingfeng Legion.
A higher level means stronger defense and smaller sacrifices.
In today's battle, Xu Lai was not sure he could control the sacrifice.
With the size of the Angel Legion, even if the resurrection spell can be released twice in a row across 12 points, it is far from enough to support a large-scale war.
Behind Naga are the phantom shooters led by Giselle, with more than 2,000 people, and the average level is over 7.
Behind the phantom shooter are the infantry, shooters led by Yu Lan, and the priests led by Anna.
The demons are not in a hurry to start a war, Xu Lai can only rush to find them to start a war.
However, although he led the army out of the city, he was not in a hurry to attack the demon.
The priests are methodically providing various buffs to the warriors in front.
With the addition of these buffs, at least the first climbers in the camp and the Nagas in the Naga Guards can be upgraded to a whole level.
Mendis looked at the humans silently and was not in a hurry to send troops to stop them.
The human being cunningly stopped a few kilometers away. The equipment on Mendis was still more physical after all.
Now that he is casting spells, none of his spells can attack humans, unless he uses a super large-scale destructive spell like Doomsday Judgment.
Hellfire, Fire Elves, and Lava Trolls summoned starting in the morning are all immune to fire damage.
Only the Abyss Lord himself and the winged demons in the sky are not immune.
Mendis knew that the Doomsday Blade was in Xu Lai's hands. If the other party used the Doomsday Judgment spell with him, his side would suffer two rounds of damage, while humans would only have to endure one round.
No matter how you calculate it, it’s all your own fault, even if the abyss lords have fire-resistant skin.
The core of the summoning spell is the abyss lord. If the number of abyss lords is dealt a devastating blow, no matter how many summons there are, it will be of no use.
Unfortunately, in hell, there are distinct classes of demons.
The abyss lords are only at level 8 and cannot summon powerful Balrogs. Otherwise, if he could summon tens of thousands of Balrogs, he would have overthrown these humans.
With a cold snort, he ordered the troops to stay on alert, maintain the call, and not act rashly.
Demons are chaotic, especially the abyssal species. There are often demons that do not obey orders.
In order to make these demons obey orders, Mendis also took great pains and had to restrain them from time to time.
Mendis could keep his composure, but Xu Lai could not.
He took out the spell book, hesitated for a moment, then opened it, and selected the fire-bending magic among the fire spells.
With the blessing of ultimate fire magic, Xu Lai's fire control magic directly covered the entire battlefield.
The ultimate firebending magic can reduce 50% of fire damage, which makes Mendis unable to sit still.
In the middle of the night yesterday, Mendis had actually fought against Xu Lai.
Except for the two Abyss Lord generals who are equipped with magic equipment, the water unicorn's powerful attack power can kill the rest instantly.
This was not enough for Mendis to guess that Xu Lai had god-level offensive skills, but the skill levels of defensive skills and resistance were easy to guess.
Coupled with the fact that Xu Lai had already appeared in the Angel Alliance, Mendis knew very well that in terms of bonuses to the troops, he was not as good as Xu Lai.
This is also the main reason why the demon army, which has always been victorious in every battle and has high morale, actually retreated when the end came and did not attack directly.
Before coming, Mendis even wanted to drag Ferris with him, but unfortunately he was rejected.
Although Kerrigan gave him great authority, Ferris also had the responsibility to protect his territory.
If Ferris comes out with all his troops, the city will be captured by the rebels, and the altar that was finally built will be destroyed, and Mendis will not be able to explain it.
The ultimate firebending magic, Mendis could not ignore it.
He knew clearly that Xu Lai also had the ultimate prayer of the Angel Alliance. If he cast the spell now, he would be extremely passive. But the fire-bending magic had a greater impact on his own troops. It is no exaggeration to say that it directly cut off half of the output of the demon army.
The fire elves and lava trolls he summoned all had pure flame output.
Hellfires are better. Their main means of output is their huge fists that are comparable to steamrollers.
However, Hellfire's agility is extremely low, its attack speed is extremely slow, and it can only attack one enemy at a time.
If you only look at the output, the flames burning all over the Hellfire are far more powerful than their fists.
If he were Xu Lai, as long as this fire-bending magic was still there, he would never be in a hurry to release the second spell.
"Send the order to the Hellfire troops and order them to press forward across the board.
But if humans do not take the initiative to attack, they must not get too close and press them at a distance of one kilometer away."
>A thousand meters away, except for a few Phantom Archer Saints who have the strength, it is impossible for the rest of the troops to get it.
Xu Lailai was in a hurry and did not bring any city defense weapons. There were some at the base camp, but he did not have time to dismantle them.
As soon as the devil moved, Xu Lai immediately felt much more relaxed.
Mendis will not drive troops for no reason. Even if he needs a little battlefield depth, he does not need to take the lava trolls with him.
Now that the devil has moved, there is no need for Xu Lai to stand still.
It’s just that what he moved was not the ground troops, but the dragon eggs that had just been smashed out in the morning.
Xu Lai was anxious. A large part of the reason was because there were nearly 200 red dragons in the dragon eggs, and their duration was only a pitiful 3 hours.
A large group of flying dragons, led by Elvi, flew out from the base camp behind them.
The red dragon and the green dragon are the smallest, but even so, they are still giant dragons with a body length of more than ten meters and a wingspan of seven or eight meters.
Behind these red dragons and green dragons is an even larger golden dragon that shines in the sun.
As well as the black dragon, which is dark all over, but its body is no smaller than the golden dragon.
Looking at the flying dragon army, Mendis frowned and had to pull out the fire elves that were recruited in the middle of the night.
It does not take long to recruit fire elves, but because the health of fire elves is much less than that of hellfire, the number that can be summoned at one time is much higher than that of hellfire.
Therefore, there are only a little over 6,000 hellfires on the ground, and only a little over 2,000 lava trolls. Only these fire elves have more than 20,000.
The number of summoned dragons is not that large. There are only more than 500 in total, which is not even one-tenth of the number of fire elves.
But because the dragon's body was so huge that it blocked the sky and the sun, it suppressed the fire elf.
Behind the giant dragon are the angel legions led by Elvi and three holy beasts, water unicorns.
The number of Angel Legion is around 250. With the constant fighting, the number of Seraphim is more than twice that of Archangel, nearly 200.
The key point is that the combat power of these angels, as well as the angel generals, is actually far superior to the dragon army.
Fire control magic has no effect on dragons. Even the lowest level red dragons and green dragons are immune to level 1-3 spells.
The flames of the fire elves cannot harm these dragons at all.
The giant dragons are not having a hard time either. The flame breath of the red dragon and the black dragon can usually kill at least dozens of units at a time.
It is also useless against these fire elves who are completely unafraid of flames.
Both sides had no choice but to fight each other.
When it comes to melee combat, the giant dragon with the bonus of giant creatures and the blessing of divine speed can completely crush the fire elves.
What's more, the dragon side also has the God of War Statue, the Angel Alliance and god-level offensive techniques.
Even the red dragon, which has the worst physical combat ability, can still cause great damage to the fire elves after being reduced by the devil's ultimate defense.
The fire elves, who were already weaker than the average level 7 fire elves, kept falling from the sky under the fierce attack of the dragon.
In other words, the Fire Aegis that comes with the Fire Elf is judged to be a level 4 spell, and the Green Dragon and the Red Dragon are not immune to it.
Under the constant rebound of the Fire Shield, from time to time, a green dragon or a red dragon died under its own attack.
But there are only a few. Golden dragons and black dragons are immune to the Fire Aegis.
And their attributes are better. Even if the Fire Elves are blessed with ultimate offensive skills, they still have to trigger a critical hit to cause a little damage.
If it is just a normal attack, it can basically only cause 1 or 2 points of scratching damage.
Of course, because there are so many fire elves, this basic damage is too much, even the black dragon and the golden dragon can't bear it.
Fortunately, Elvi's angel army is following behind the dragons.
Seraphs are not afraid of flames, and the physical damage from the fire elves can only barely damage the black dragon.
Facing a level 9 Seraph, this damage has no effect at all. It is equivalent to not breaking the defense at all, not even 1 point of basic damage.
Elvi led the archangel to hold the formation from behind, controlling the three water unicorns at the same time.
Elvi controls them to hide behind and releases the trail of clouds and mist, trying to first cover the entire battlefield with the trail of clouds and mist.
Under the cloud effect, the hit rate is reduced by 20%.
Generally speaking, the hit rate of physical melee attacks is more than 100%, unless it is a relatively bulky unit.
The Hellfire is not relatively bulky, but particularly bulky.
Even if they attack the heavy shield infantry who have no dodge, there is a high probability of making a mistake.
If the hit rate is reduced by another 20%, it's hard to say whether it can hit anyone.
As for long-range units, even high-level ones, unless they have the sure-hit feature like the Phantom Arrow Saint, the hit rate cannot be full.
After being reduced by 20%, it will also have a huge impact on the lava troll.
However, these clouds and mist are not simply magical effects. Even dispersal spells are not easy to use and can only be dispelled physically.
The wind, the sun, or the flames can all speed up the dissipation of these clouds and mist.
Of course, in addition to sowing cloud trails, Elvi will control them to release hail storms as soon as the cooldown time is up.
For water unicorns, as long as they are not ordered to retreat, they will not resist orders from the controller.
If the water unicorn does not participate in the battle and only relies on hailstorms to kill the enemy, it will not be like last night, where it can be killed by more than a thousand fire elves.
And now, they do not need to release water-based healing spells to heal themselves, but they can flow out more mana to release spells.
With this plus and one minus, I don’t know how many additional demons these three water unicorns can kill! (End of chapter)
