All signs indicate that Hell is serious about taking action this time.
The most striking sign is that almost all of these little devils have reincarnated into horned devils.
Most demons in hell can basically turn into horned demons after death. The only difference is whether it is cost-effective or not.
There is only one factor that affects the reincarnation of these demons as horned demons, and that is their life value.
The little devil has a low level and low health. It often takes several little devil corpses to reincarnate a horned devil.
But there are those who are higher than the horned demon, such as evil gods, crypt demons, and advanced winged demons.
They are at the same level or higher than the Horned Demon. At worst, they are on the same level as the Horned Demon. However, the Horned Demon is a melee tank unit with extremely high health.
These units, such as the Evil God King, even if their health value is higher than that of the Horned Demon, two Horned Demons cannot crawl out of one corpse.
As for those whose health points are lower than those of the Horned Demon, it often takes two or even three heads to reincarnate one.
Obviously, it would be extremely uneconomical to exchange it for a demon lower than the Horned Demon.
However, among the demons that can reincarnate as the Horned Demon, only the Horned Demon and its advanced units cannot be reincarnated.
Otherwise, Hell would have unlimited use of the Horned Demon’s body.
Besides, no matter how generous Kerrigan is and no matter how many magic potions there are, the Evil God King's magic power has an upper limit.
In a short period of time, the evil gods did not have enough magic power to replace the reincarnated demons.
In other words, if Hell does not take advantage of this opportunity to raise large-scale pigs and launch a general offensive, it will basically not be able to organize a second such large-scale offensive.
Thanks to the water released by humans, most of the little devils actually rush forward.
The main output of human shooters is basically placed on high-level units such as Hellfire.
Little devils, things like Tiaotiao, which have almost no fighting power, they will not be able to break through Graycastle even if they are given a few more years.
Hell has taken the initiative in the war. It has been incorporating low-level demons such as little devils and Tiaotiao into the siege team just for today.
In the past, these little devils did not deserve too much priority attention, so that when the devil suddenly launched today, they were overwhelmed.
There are only one quarter of the phantom shooters on duty in the arrow tower. In order to ensure that there is time to replenish ammunition, these quarters will be output in turn.
Only 2,000 sky shooters are arranged on the city wall, and because these 2,000 sky shooters are already at the top level, they will only take action when the demon approaches.
The rest of the time, the output is left to those marksmen and marksman masters who have not yet upgraded.
After all, the sky shooters can no longer be promoted, and the rest of the shooters will gain one more point of combat effectiveness if they can advance to one level.
Putting these little devils into the shooter's attack circle has resulted in the reincarnated horned devil being extremely close and more threatening.
The good thing is that it's not that easy for these extremely slow guys to run away.
"Quick, all shooters give priority to shooting the little demons and winged demons, don't let them fly up the city wall."
Fortunately, Rena's reaction was very fast. After discovering that the number of demons was wrong, she immediately Reserves were called.
The mirror image of the huge number of demons before did indeed paralyze Rena, preventing her from discovering the abnormality in the number of demons immediately.
However, Reina knew very clearly that the devil's general attack would be in these two days.
Therefore, she divided the team in the city into four groups, one on duty and one on rotation.
The remaining two groups, one is on standby in the military camp, and the other is the smallest group, but like the soldiers in the sentry, it is a fully armed general reserve force.
"Legion Commander, would you like to wake up the resting soldiers?" Deputy Brandy asked quickly.
Leina shook her head firmly: "The current attack is still not fierce, and not a single enemy's main force has been seen.
Besides, there is plenty of sunshine in the afternoon, which is a great advantage for our shooters. , Kerrigan will never launch a general attack at this time
The general attack of the hell demons must be at night.
Go tell those warriors and ask them to plug my ears, or ask the idle mages to put up some silent enchantments.
I won’t allow anyone to harass them until they finish dinner in the evening! ”
If nearly three-quarters of the troops in Graycastle cannot defend the city, then even waking up the sleeping quarter will be of little use.
After all, Gray Castle is not too big. Even if everyone is woken up, the city wall cannot stand.
As the soldiers on standby in the barracks arrived, the long-range firepower output on the city wall became more intensive.
But the little devils and winged demons are flying units after all, and can be stacked together in the sky.
No matter how hard you try to clean up these layers of demons, you can’t clean them all away.
Even if these demons die in the end, they will have to die over the city wall, or they will simply hit the city wall directly.
Don't be afraid of those who die behind the city wall. The Evil God King also needs a target when casting spells. The demon corpses cannot be seen, and they can't release spells even if they want to.
However, the city walls must be cleared in time, and all idle conscripted infantry were mobilized.
Throw the demon corpses falling from the sky as far as you can. Even if you don’t have the strength to throw them far away, you should at least throw them under the city wall.
In the demon camp, there are already a large number of fully armed horned warlords, holding high the tower shields captured from humans, to cover the evil god king's advance.
In human hands, it is a large tower shield that can cover all tall infantry and requires both hands to use.
In the hands of these demons, they can only barely cover their bodies.
However, this is already the best equipment that the demons can capture and use directly.
With such a tower shield, in addition to the siege damage of catapults and ballistas, the damage of other arrows must be reduced by half.
Even if you use armor-piercing arrows, the effect is not ideal, unless it is a Behemoth armor-piercing arrow made with Behemoth claws.
This kind of arrow ignores a lot of defense. For an archer with high enough damage, three or four arrows can clear the durability of a tower shield.
But even without shields, these warlords would use their bodies as bunkers to protect the Evil God Kings from approaching and casting spells.
The Evil God King is not a spell-casting unit, but a physical unit. Apart from being able to raise pigs, they don't know any other spells.
But perhaps because of their single-mindedness, their spell casting distance is extremely far, and ordinary archers can only do half arrow damage even on the city wall.
Originally, the damage of an arrow is only half. After being halved by the tower shield, it will be halved by the ultimate defense.
Even with the blessings of the Angel Alliance, the God of War Statue and ultimate archery, the attack effect is extremely poor.
To shoot down a steel tower shield, you need at least a master archer to shoot 2 or 30 arrows.
But if it was Giselle, she could break the shield with one arrow, pierce the heart with one arrow, and kill a horned warlord carrying a tower shield without even needing a third arrow.
But to block the sky, these phantom shooters who can release phantoms are also needed.
The full output of 2,000 phantom shooters is really comparable to more than ten times that of human shooters.
Whether it is a winged demon or a more rubbish little demon, their health and defense are not high. Phantom archers with an average level of 7.6, even with half the phantom arrows, can definitely kill the little devil instantly and kill or seriously injure the winged demon.
It's a pity that the number of phantom shooters is limited after all, so it's impossible to take care of them all.
If you have to choose a priority, it can only be to keep the little devils away.
These things fall on the city wall. Once reincarnated by the Evil God King, they can immediately eliminate the long-range output of the shooters on the city wall.
As for those evil god kings, Kerrigan has invested a lot of money and is very determined this time, and they will never be able to eliminate them all in a short time.
Xu Lai did not pay attention to the battle on the city wall, but gave full power to Reina.
Lena is not good at offense, but she is particularly good at defense.
His main focus is still on the crypt demons hiding underground.
If these things don't appear for a day, he will feel uneasy.
He had a hunch that these things wouldn't last long.
He sent the cavalry from the city, carrying so much dry food, that they could not last more than a few days. If they did not join the battle, they would have to take a detour to look for food.
Unless those crypt demons really hide underground and hibernate, they will almost starve to death.
If they are dormant, unless Kerrigan and the Crypt Demon have agreed on a date for their awakening in advance, no one will be able to contact them during the dormant period.
It must be said that these crypt demons buried underground have involved too much human energy.
At least now, in order to prevent these crypt demons from attacking the city gates, catapults and other important locations, Xu Lai had to personally lead the team to patrol.
Originally, with the resurrection of the Evil God King, a large number of horned demons had already poured into the foot of the city wall.
In this position, even the shooter needs to stick his head out to attack. The other catapults, ballistas, etc. have already fallen into a blind spot.
Of course, even if there is an attack angle, the focus of the catapult is not these horned devils, but the more and more catapults on the other side of hell.
Hell’s catapults never dare to get too close. Even if their number increases, they still pose no threat to the walls of Graycastle.
This is especially true for the horned devil under the wall.
The horned demon without any siege equipment, in addition to being a living target, can only use its poor output to destroy the gate of Graycastle.
Xu Lai had re-reinforced this thing, and its defense was already ridiculously high, and it was still a city defense type of defense.
Level 4 horned demon, even with the blessing of Kerrigan's ultimate offensive technique, cannot break the city gate's defense.
The funniest thing is that the devil often brings bad luck to the enemy.
So although Kerrigan has a complete set of artifacts, he is only equipped with the Suppression Elf that calms morale.
Xu Lai's side lost 3 points of luck, but he had a high-level treasure that added 2 points of luck, so the troops only lost 1 point of luck.
Just this bit of bad luck has already reduced his unit's output by half with a one-in-ten chance.
But with the Angel of Sin on the human side, the demon also carries two points of negative luck at this time, and two out of every ten attacks can only cause half damage.
The city gate of Graycastle is very large and can accommodate many horned demons.
It's just that the horned demon's luck at this time was negative by two points, and there was no possibility of a critical hit. It couldn't even consume the durability of the city gate.
In addition to cooperating inside and outside, the catapult has no advantage, and it is almost impossible for the demon to break the gate of Graycastle.
Unless Kerrigan appears on the battlefield in person and uses siege spells such as shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.
But in fact, Kerrigan was not close to the battlefield at all. All demons only had a fixed attack acceleration.
Even the effect of this attack acceleration was dispelled long ago by the dispersing method.
As time goes by, Reina has begun to release the second and even third round of strategic spells.
The Slowing Technique greatly slows down the demon's progress.
Holy Spirit Yuzu allows all shooters to maximize their output and kill high-value targets like the Evil God King as much as possible.
Krigan in the rear was also very hesitant. The current situation was showing a one-sided trend.
He tried his best, but he could only let his demons get closer to Graycastle.
But if we don’t continue to exert pressure, even the troops that have moved closer will sooner or later be wiped out by humans.
The most important thing is that more than one-third of the catapults have been lost.
If not, let your troops approach quickly while the catapult is still attracting human ultra-long-range firepower.
Once the human catapults let go and release magic bombs on a large scale again, the casualties of the demonic troops will increase several times.
However, Kerrigan has already sent out the Horned Warlord and the Evil God King.
The only troops left that can be used are the lava trolls, fire elves and the great demon troops.
The fire elves cannot move. As soon as this force withdraws, the human knights will inevitably charge at the demon camp immediately.
The demon army cannot move lightly. If this army moves, it will basically be a decisive battle, and it will still be the kind of decisive battle from which there is no way to escape.
Both of these cannot be moved. He plans to use the Crypt Demon until the night raid, so the only one who can press him now is the Lava Troll.
Baton the Balrog personally led, and under the cover of a large number of horned demon governors, led a mixed force of 30,000 lava trolls, 100,000 fire trolls, and fire demons to move closer to Gray Castle. .
Barton is not so willing, but on the frontline battlefield, a demon hero is needed, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in terms of spells.
Of course Kerrigan would not put himself in danger, so Barton had no choice but to perform meritorious service.
This time, it can basically be regarded as the entire army of demons was dispatched. Not only the lava trolls were dispatched, but also all the fifth-level horned devils were dispatched.
The horned evil spirits were hiding at the back of the team, carrying long improvised ladders.
Under the blockade of more and more long-range troops from humans, with the extremely slow flying speed of the little devil and the fragile life of the winged devil, it is difficult to land on the city wall on a large scale.
In order to buy time for the shooters to deal with the damage, Reina even sent out griffins.
Although the number of griffons is completely incomparable to that of demons, their level and combat power are far above that of demons.
Moreover, the griffon only needs to guard the limited space near the city wall, so it can be used.
But when a large number of lava trolls appeared in sight, Reina was shocked and immediately issued the latest order.
She would rather let go of some of the evil god kings and little devils, even if she succeeded in reincarnating them on the city wall.
After all, there are royal guards, golden-armored warriors, sword masters and crusaders on the city wall.
On the walls of Graycastle, the infantry force cannot be ignored.
But the city wall with too many troops could not withstand the range attack from the lava troll. (End of this chapter)
