Mendis was deeply impressed by Tahan. After all, it was this bold cavalry commander who plunged the lance deeply into the leg of the Abyss Demon God.
So, when Ferris said that Tahan was here to cheat the crossbow arrows, although Mendis felt something was wrong, he did not have too much doubt.
However, the weather began to change, and the terrifying momentum was erupting crazily with Tahan as the center.
After eliminating all possibilities, the most impossible and least willing to believe must be the truth.
“He is releasing the forbidden curse, hurry up, find a way to stop him!”
Mendis roared loudly and even sent a small team of capable abyss lords.
Feris did not dare to hesitate and personally operated a high-level ballista, aiming at Tahan.
The group of abyss lords that took off were shot into pieces by a large group of phantom shooters before they even got close to Tahan.
Mendis originally wanted to fly over in person and throw one of his most powerful fireballs at Tahan.
Looking at a full team of 100 abyss lords, all of them were ejaculated almost instantly, how dare he take action.
The situation on Ferris' side was similar. The high-level ballista she controlled personally didn't do much damage.
After all, mechanical equipment such as ballistae mainly depends on their own basic attack power, and there are not many requirements for the user.
Seeing the black clouds looming over the city, Mendis became increasingly frightened.
"I'll leave this to you. Anyway, we will only waste resources here."
After Mendis said this, he actually ordered to assemble the abyss demons and abyss lords under his command.
Although Ferris knows that demons are selfish guys.
This guy was worried about being punished when he went back, and he knew that he couldn't defeat the Angel Legion in the sky, so he just ate and drank in Kasay City shamelessly.
Now that Kasai City is in trouble, this guy actually ran away like this?
Although she was very reluctant, Ferris had no other choice. She couldn't fly, and even if she could fly, she couldn't stop Mendis.
But it was not that easy for Mendis to run away. Before he could assemble the troops scattered on the city walls, the lightning storm that had been brewing for a long time finally came down.
The dark sky suddenly opened several ferocious gaps.
Thunder rolled in the gloomy clouds, and hundreds of bright lightnings tore through the sky, illuminating the entire city.
The air above the city is filled with the smell of anxiety, and crackling lightning is raging in Kasai City.
Every bolt of lightning struck the demons with terrifying power.
Wearing a full set of Angel Alliance suits and taking potions, Tahan was much more powerful than Xu Lai originally expected.
There are at least 120 lightning bolts per second, and more than 7,000 lightning bolts can be struck in one minute.
The demon has fire resistance, and Xu Lai's rage talent has no effect.
But a demon that can resist fire has no resistance to air spells.
The troops on both sides did not form a legion, but both Ferris and Mendis were high-level heroes in the hell camp.
Both of them have ultimate resistance, but they have no other anti-magic equipment.
Countless lightning struck down, unless it happened to be blocked by resistance, or it struck the eighth-level abyss lord.
The rest of the units, even the seventh-level Abyss Demons with poor equipment or critical damage, could only be killed on the spot.
Mendis took off with his men, while Elvi was well prepared to intercept outside the thundercloud range.
In addition to Elvi, Xu Lai also placed the crossbowmen of the Qingfeng Legion on the west wall.
The shooters of the Qingfeng Legion were placed on the east wall.
Directly to the north is the phantom shooter unit led by Xu Lai himself. Mendis chose to break out on this side because of his brain damage.
Only due south, Xu Lai left only the cavalry troops led by Charles, who were responsible for guarding Xu Lai's few priests and high priests.
Although the long-range firepower on this side cannot be compared with the other three sides, it is supported by the Angel Legion and can form a three-dimensional crossfire.
This time all the angels were dispatched. The angel legion of nearly 300 people could cover not only the entire sky, but at least most of it.
As the commander of the legion, Tahan can also attach the power of the Angel Alliance to the angels.
Even this time, none of Mendis and the two demon heroes thought of dispelling the effect of prayer on humans.
Although there are many abyss lords and abyss demons, they are far from the angels' opponents under the morale penalty of escaping.
What's more, Elvi and the others only need to intercept each other and prevent them from breaking out of the storm circle. Naturally, the priests and lightning below will come to trouble them.
The forbidden curse has broken out, and many of Mendis's men have been hit, and even he was hit by a lightning bolt.
If the magic shield on his body had not worked and helped him completely offset the lightning strike, he would have been knocked down even if he would not have been electrocuted.
The paralysis effect attached to the lightning storm can be paralyzed for at least several seconds.
With the huge size of the Abyss Lord, if he pauses for a few seconds, he will immediately fall to the ground.
Just now, Mendis saw many of his subordinates who had withstood a bolt of lightning and were thrown to death in the city of Kasai.
In this state, Mendis had no intention of getting entangled with humans.
If he wastes even one more second, he may lose dozens of his subordinates. This kind of loss is simply unacceptable to him.
"Stop squeezing together, hurry up, break out from the other three sides."
Although the other three sides are also assigned a large number of long-range troops by Xu Lai.
Limited by their size, neither the Abyss Demon nor the Abyss Lord can fly too high, and are basically unable to escape the attacks of mid-to-high-level long-range troops.
Although the soldiers Xu Lai brought out this time were new recruits, so far in the battle, the lowest level was level 4 long archers and level 4 heavy crossbowmen.
Fighters below level 4 will either be eliminated or reorganized into the security team.
But even so, the success rate of breakout is still higher from the east and west directions.
The long-range troops in these two directions are of lower level after all.
The attack speed of the archer is fast enough, but the damage is not as high as that of the crossbowman. Even with focused fire, it cannot kill a large number of demons.
Crossbowmen have armor-breaking damage, and their basic damage is greater than that of shooters. The single damage is higher than that of shooters.
However, the rewinding speed of the crossbow is too slow, and the interval in between is relatively long.
The Abyss Demons withstood long-range firepower from the east and west sides, and after suffering some casualties, they finally escaped a lot.
Fortunately, they were separated from the east and west sides and could not gather in one direction.
In a hurry, Mendis did not designate a city for the meeting. The escaped demons basically flew towards Bristone.
This is the devil's base camp, and Mendis and the others are running away for their lives.
In addition, they all know that the entire Pafix Plain is basically under Xu Lai's control.
No matter which city they descend upon, they will only be surrounded by enemies. What's more important is that they have already run out of supplies at this time, and many demons have even been hungry for several days.
They eagerly want to return to the devil's own city.
Looking through the entire Western Empire, no city is safer than Bristone.
It's just that although Xu Lai was able to guess where these demons were going, he didn't have enough flying soldiers to intercept them, and it was impossible to wait for these demons at the end.
Fortunately, they scattered and escaped, and with the morale debuff bonus, the speed was not too fast.
Be it the abyss demons or the abyss lords, they all suffered heavy losses.
Mendis was also psychologically affected by Xu Lai, and he probably would not dare to fight Xu Lai again in the future.
Mendis and the others can fly, but Xu Lai can't stop them even if he wants to. He can only do his best to obey fate.
But even so, he destroyed at least half of the abyss demons and abyss lords, which is equivalent to destroying Mendis' hundreds of years of accumulation.
However, Ferris, who was surrounded on all sides and blocked in the city with no way to go anywhere, had no wings.
Not only did she have no wings, the only high-level flying troops were all destroyed by Mendis.
Only relying on the Wing Demon, it is impossible to fight a bloody path from the air.
Not only is the life of the Wing Demon incomparable to that of the Abyss Demon, but its defense is also inferior to the boss.
Even a longbowman can be killed instantly if several people focus their fire.
What's more, the Winged Demon Legion cannot carry people. Even if they can fly out, they can only escape by themselves.
With all the surroundings under Xu Lai's control, these winged demons didn't even have a place to rest.
As long as they dare to land on the Pafix Plains, the cavalry that follows Xu Lai will kill them in minutes.
The only thing Ferris can do now is to find a way to escape this storm.
Fortunately, although the lightning storm is terrifying, it will attack exposed enemies first.
Feiris took her personal guards and blocked the castle of Kasay City, leaving all her subordinates outside to bear the punishment of thunder.
The only thing she did that was worthy of her troops was to finally remember the scroll in the space ring and unleash an air-bending magic.
With this air-bending magic, at least some rough-skinned and thick-skinned troops, such as telephoto demons and warlords, will not be killed instantly.
Or, while the troops still have some strength at this time, concentrate their forces to break out from one direction.
However, because of the terrifying lightning storm above his head, Ferris had already lost control of his troops.
A general cannot find his soldiers, and a soldier cannot find his captain.
Some demons are afraid and try to hide in houses or lairs to avoid this disaster.
There were also some demons who were not willing to be hacked to death, so they gathered a group of demons and poured out from various city gates.
Xu Lai's preparations were actually not sufficient. In addition, he did not have many troops, and the number of demons was too much.
If the devil could organize himself well, rush out of the city in an orderly manner, and choose a direction to break out, there might be a chance that he would be able to escape.
Of course, even if he could escape for a while, it would be impossible to block the sweep of the iron cavalry on such an unobstructed plain.
It was precisely because of this thought that Ferris never thought of breaking out from the beginning.
Unfortunately, not all demons think like this.
Every minute, every second, especially the power of the angry thunder in the sky does not diminish at all, and it seems that there is no end in sight.
Not many demons can bear this situation and either find a place to hide or rush out of the city to escape.
The long-range troops in the four directions, facing the scattered demon troops, would not even give them a chance to get close, let alone let them break through.
The firepower of the long-range troops also greatly saves the energy of the lightning storm, allowing the lightning storm to kill more demons.
As time went by, all the exposed demons in the city were dead or injured.
At this time, no matter how stupid the devil is, he still knows how to find a place to hide.
It is a pity that lightning will not let go of all living creatures in the storm. Even if they are hiding in the house, it will only cause the house to collapse.
The entire Kasai City has been completely transformed into a demon city.
Instead of spending resources and effort to restore it to its original state, it is better to simply destroy it, take away the heart and resources of the castle, and rebuild it.
A large number of soldiers died under lightning and long-range firepower from human troops.
This made the lightning storm that lasted for a full 4 hours finally become unbreakable and slowly dissipated unwillingly.
For four hours, Xu Lai and others did not dare to take a step closer.
Not to mention Xu Lai and the others, even a passing fly can attract a bolt of lightning and be shattered to pieces.
From daylight to darkness, Xu Lai simply let the troops camp where they were and wait until the next day before entering the city.
The lightning storm stopped early, which meant that not a single living creature could be found in the entire city.
It can be said that Ferris was not hiding deeply, but the castle where she was hiding had been completely destroyed, and Ferris who was hiding inside was not immune to it.
The entire city was destroyed into ruins because of the demons hiding everywhere.
But Xu Lai still arranged for troops to be on duty to avoid any unexpected situations.
At midnight, the battle report arrived as promised.
Even though Tahan was temporarily appointed as the commander of the legion, he still belonged to the Eagle Kingdom after all, and the battle report was still sent to Xu Lai.
As expected, this was another hearty victory, and the battle report even called it a miraculous victory.
Because of this battle, apart from killing nearly a million demons gathered by Ferris, there were zero losses on the human side.
As the commander-in-chief of this war, Tahan and the Eagle Kingdom have gained a lot of reputation.
Personal reputation and national reputation mean the same thing. When the national reputation is high, the reputation will also be high, and others will be more willing to join your country.
Of course, in addition to reputation, Tahan also gained a lot of experience.
The experience value is terrifying, because he directly killed a high-level female devil and defeated a high-level abyss lord.
At the same time, most of the nearly one million demons died under the lightning storm, that is, at the hands of Tahan.
This allowed Tahan to directly upgrade two levels, and these were two levels after level 38.
Xu Lai also gained some of his huge experience, but it was only some that flowed out from the legion, and he had no ability to move his experience bar.
After Tahan, a large number of those who advanced were the priest troops under Xu Lai in the south.
Compared to the priests responsible for treatment, the priests who directly participated in the battle this time and killed a large number of abyss demons and other demons gained several times more experience.
Finally, with the supply of this large amount of experience, about 30 high priests were qualified to advance. (End of chapter)
