The use of the Gate of the Abyss has been suspended. Without the Gate of the Abyss, the cost for the Abyss Lords to summon hell creatures is much higher.
However, at this time, Mendis also paid a lot of attention. Barton opened all the warehouses, mana potions, and physical potions for him to use.
After careful consideration, Mendis chose to summon a fire elf with the ability to fly.
Although Hellfire is better at group attacks, it is also rougher and thicker.
One thing is that Hellfire moves relatively slowly, and human troops are deployed three kilometers outside the city.
With such a long distance, the firepower of the long-range troops alone can consume all the hellfire they summoned.
The Abyss Lord is summoned through the Gate of the Abyss. Different objects are summoned and the consumption is different.
The HP of Hellfire is much higher than that of Fire Elf, and it consumes more mana.
On average, if you summon two hellfires, you can summon three fire elves.
As soon as the sky dawned, the devil on the city wall saw more catapults than yesterday.
But this time, the demons finally did not hide in the city, but sent a large number of fire elves.
As an air force, the Fire Elves fly extremely fast, and their attacks are accelerated in advance.
These fire elves fill the entire sky and fly everywhere.
After the Qingfeng Legion's soldiers and horses were merged, the number of archer troops was extremely large, already exceeding 50,000, and this did not include the cavalry archers.
A large number of arrows fell overwhelmingly, and countless fire elves fell.
However, these fire elves were completely unafraid of death and still flew tenaciously towards the human catapult position.
Xu Lai cast the magic of fire control in time. With this spell, resistance, and the anti-magic cloak, the fire elf's damage was extremely low.
But these fire elves have no interest in fighting the crossbowmen on the ground. They mainly attack the catapults.
As an instrument, the catapult cannot be equipped with firebending magic, resistance will not be effective on it, and the sacred blood bottle cannot grant durability.
Although the archers and crossbowmen, with the blessing of Xu Lai's speed, kept firing their bows and arrows.
It's a pity that these fire elves are all summoned units, they are not afraid of life and death, and they will not lose morale even if they die.
With the blessing of the ultimate offensive technique, the fire elves are still extremely capable of destroying catapults.
More than half an hour later, with the support of the phantom shooter, all the fire elves that went out had been basically wiped out.
But this batch of catapults was also damaged by about 70%.
Even if some of them can still hold on and can still be used after resuscitation, at least half of the catapults can no longer be fired.
But even if only half of it is usable, the human side still has the upper hand.
After a whole day of bombardment yesterday, on the other side of Hell, both the city walls and the catapults suffered heavy losses.
In addition to demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, their construction and repair speed could not keep up with Xu Lai.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Bristone's demons had almost no power to fight back.
Of course, at this time, Xu Lai only had 5 or 6 catapults left.
But with these 5 or 6 catapults, you don't have to worry about artillery fire on the city wall.
The crossbowmen can aim slowly, and under the influence of ballistics, the hit rate is greatly improved.
Even at night, the artillery fire did not stop.
Anyway, even if it gets dark, the position and distance between the two parties will not change.
The crossbowmen fought all day long, so that at night they would not be able to hit at all.
As long as he can hit, Xu Lai is not afraid even if he wastes a little more ammunition.
What he has to fight for now is time. No one knows when Kerrigan will come back.
Even when the fire elves went out to fight in the city, Xu Lai did not send out the Seraphim because he had already sent out Elvi and her angel army.
Using the advantages of vision and speed at high altitude, Elvi was able to detect in advance and escape from Kerrigan's pursuit.
Xu Lai was notified in advance and could respond early.
If there is enough time, he can use the Gate of Time and Space to lead the large army away.
If it was too late, he would have to make a choice and decision in time, whether to fight with all his strength or to retreat.
No matter what choice you make, time is very important to Xu Lai.
Night fighting is essential, but he did not plan to start the night fighting so early before.
He was planning to attack the city in a day or two and took it down in one go.
Facing Bristone, of course, we can't train our troops slowly like we did in Little Graycastle.
On the walls of Bristone, all the lights were extinguished.
A large group of human craftsmen were forced to rush to the city wall.
After a whole day of indiscriminate bombing, especially the smashing at the end of the afternoon, entire sections of the city wall were in crisis.
At the city gate that was targeted, the gate tower had been blown to pieces, and several nearby fire demon towers had also suffered damage.
If it hadn't been for Bristone, the magic circle that reduces the damage of siege equipment continued to take effect, maybe the city gate would have been blasted open long ago.
Although it has not collapsed yet, it is already crumbling and looks like it will collapse at any time.
This time, Xu Lai did not spend too much energy on defensive towers such as arrow towers, turrets, and fire demon towers.
With these defense towers, the fire demon's range will be greatly improved, and the long-range will have many advantages.
But Xu Lai planned to concentrate his firepower and destroy the city wall first.
Without the city wall, he could launch his infantry at any time and rush into the city to fight in the streets.
Or, if he still has energy left, he can use a catapult to call them one by one, and it won't take much time to destroy the fire demon towers one by one.
No one knows when the city wall that has been targeted will collapse.
Especially at night, Xu Lai began to mess around with the rings in his warehouse.
Take out the catapults, accessories, ammunition, etc. accumulated throughout the day in Qingfeng City one by one, and then equip them into a complete catapult.
The crossbowmen who were injured during the day were rotated down for treatment, while the soldiers who died were resurrected if they should be resurrected, and those who could not be resurrected were buried on the spot.
It’s not that Xu Lai didn’t respect the deceased, or that he didn’t want to bring the body to his family.
In fact, all the complete corpses have been resurrected by angels, and the remaining ones cannot even be pieced together.
The Seraphs at night do not have the ability to see at night and cannot conduct patrols.
It just so happens that they are also needed to resurrect the soldiers who died during the day.
The patrol work at night is left to the dragon knight Sir Eric.
The black dragon living in the dungeon has dark vision and can see clearly even at night.
After advancing to level 9 dragon knight, the speed is far faster than the ordinary black dragon, and Xu Lai's speed talent is also blessed. At least Xu Lai's hero attribute is within the coverage range. Xu Lai doesn't have to worry about the danger of Eric acting alone.
Even if they encounter Kerrigan's large army and Xu Lai and the others use the gate of time and space to leave, Eric has a high chance of escaping alone.
On the contrary, if Ed, Silver Wing and other Pegasus knights are also sent out, danger will be more likely to arise.
As the catapults were assembled, the firepower outside the city became more powerful, and the human craftsmen responsible for maintenance inside and outside the city walls became even more trembling.
Not only do they have to repair the city wall in the dark, they also have to bear the long-range firepower of their own people outside the city.
Even if they are beaten to death, they can only bear the reputation of being raped by one person. Even their wives and children will become food for the devil in an instant.
But if they don’t do this, the evil gods and the long-horned overseers in charge of overseeing the work will whip those thorny whips on them without hesitation.
At such a desperate moment, the demons didn't even bother to maintain the last bit of warmth.
In this state, even if there is a demon behind him that is constantly whipping him, how effective can he be?
The maintenance efficiency of the workers is not high, but the firepower outside the city is constantly increasing.
Finally, before the humans could finish their dinner, a section of the city wall suddenly collapsed.
Fortunately, on this section of the city wall, in addition to the maintenance workers and the demons responsible for supervision, even the fire demons, flame trolls and the like who were responsible for the defense have withdrawn.
Devils also care about their lives. No fool is willing to stay on such a precarious wall unless forced to do so.
And this section of the city wall is like the first domino on the list.
Once it collapses, the vibrations and falling gravel will hit other sections of the city wall, which is likely to cause a chain reaction.
From the rumble of the collapse of the first section of the city wall, Xu Lai ordered that all the magic lamps and bonfires in the entire camp be lit.
The devil's city defense firepower has been destroyed by him.
Therefore, no matter how bright your camp is, you don’t have to worry about becoming a target in the dark.
However, no matter how bright it was at our camp, it could not illuminate Bridgestone.
Xu Lai simply asked people to bring out the explosive bombs. Because this kind of ammunition caused fire damage, it was not lethal to demons.
Furthermore, as magic ammunition, explosive bullets do far less damage to solid city walls than solid stone bullets.
Therefore, not only did Xu Lai not use the explosive bombs, but Xu Lai also did not use any other magic ammunition.
At this time, the explosive bombs are used to attack, not to kill the enemy, but simply for lighting.
Just like the tracer bullets in modern artillery fire, it is to see the ballistic trajectory clearly in the dark night.
The purpose of the explosive bomb is to wait for the bomb to explode so that people outside the city can observe the specific situation of Bristone.
Moreover, the newly built trebuchet is still placed in its original position during the day.
But after all, no matter how you adjust it, there is still a slight difference from the position during the day.
The so-called miss is a thousand miles. Every slight adjustment means a gap of tens or even hundreds of meters.
Using the fire of the explosive bomb, you can also adjust the position and angle of the catapult.
At the same time, the collapse of the city wall also alarmed the demon bosses who had just laid down and prepared to rest.
One demon general got up from his tent or his sleep.
The fire demon stationed in the fire demon tower screamed in horror: "The city wall has fallen, the city wall has fallen!"
The city wall fell, and Xu Lai did not rush to order an attack. Instead, he launched more catapults and continued to bombard them wildly.
The infantrymen of the Qingfeng Legion, who had eaten and drank enough, returned to their respective barracks to rest under the orders of their respective commanders.
If at this time, the demons dare to rush out and fight Xu Lai to the death, they might really be able to catch Xu Lai off guard.
Unfortunately, the demons themselves also need to rest.
And from top to bottom, none of the demons, including the Balrog Barton, have the confidence to fight against humans.
Nearly ten thousand abyss lords spent countless mana potions and spent one night summoning the fire elves.
It only took the humans more than half an hour to solve it, and they only relied on long-range troops.
It is said that the knights, known as the strongest human cavalry, have not made any moves so far.
Before the demons could come up with a countermeasure, the second section of the city wall collapsed under the continuous bombardment of catapults outside the city.
Then in the third and fourth paragraphs, Xu Lai seems to have the intention of knocking down all the walls of Bridgestone.
Barton issued an order, ordering all fighting demons to be on guard and take turns to rest in batches.
There is also a magma moat outside the city of Bristone.
Although this magma river cannot be compared with the lava in the volcano, the temperature is also terrifyingly high.
The most important thing is that ordinary wooden boards, even those tens of centimeters thick, will burn immediately when placed on both sides of the magma river.
A thick wooden board takes almost less than ten minutes, and the time to pass someone is even shorter.
Once the plank is burned, the warriors crossing the river will have to fall into the lava river, and it will be difficult to survive.
Of course, Xu Lai can also set fire-bending magic on them. As long as this spell is not dispelled, it will be no problem to support thick-blooded warriors to swim across the magma river.
If you want to prevent wear and tear easily, simple and easy-to-use river-crossing props such as wooden boards are obviously inappropriate.
Patton obviously also considered the existence of the moat, so he deployed heavy troops for defense at the only city gate that could safely pass through the moat.
By the light of the pyroblast bombs, Xu Lai saw a large number of horned warlords, evil god kings, as well as lava trolls, balrogs, etc. gathered on the nearby fire demon tower.
Barton really spent a lot of money. Although Xu Lai didn't see it, he guessed that there should be a large number of big demons hiding nearby.
Only this kind of terrifying creature can rush to the battlefield instantly to provide support.
However, Xu Lai was not in a hurry. He calmly commanded the catapult to eliminate the enemy's long-range firepower at fixed points.
At the same time, he also asked Reina to use Dragon Heart to summon dozens of skull dragons to help fight.
Dragon Heart summoned even the bone dragon, which Xu Lai did not expect.
This thing is an undead unit. If you keep it with you, it will seriously affect your morale.
However, although the strength of these bone dragons is a bit weak, they can still summon a lot of them.
With the blessing of Rena's defense expertise, it also brought a little shock to the demons.
Xu Lai has god-level offensive skills, and it also has the special effect of being invincible. It is difficult for his soldiers of the same level to defeat Rena's men.
Now these bone dragons not only possess Reina's defensive skills, but also possess Commander Xu Lai's speed talent, sacred blood bottles, and god-level offensive skills.
The Bone Dragon, which was originally extremely fragile and could be called the weakest high-level creature, had its defense, attack, life and speed data improved in an instant.
As an undead creature, the Bone Dragon attacks with a curse. Even if the Bone Dragon dies, it will take a very long time to subside.
Therefore, these dozens of skull dragons caused great trouble to the demon army.
Especially because they are flying creatures, flying around and harassing everyone, making all the demons in Bristone restless. (End of this chapter)
