Chapter 499: Marching in
“The guard golem has entered the city and is fighting the reserve soldiers of Enwei Demon Kingdom’s army, heading towards the city gate.”
At the back of the battlefield, Aldai put a hand on her temple, controlling the secret eye that had been placed on the head of one of the golems in advance, and clearly saw the movements of the golems.
The radio spell left on the golem transmitted the irregular but very loud slogans of the golems.
"Obviously everything is normal in the sound module, but they have never spoken before."
"Maybe it's because the one who directly controls them this time is the Demon King Shenjun."
Wendy was not interested in these technical details. She looked at the sand table from time to time, and raised her telescope from time to time, trying to take in the entire battlefield.
The cavalrymen who had been guarding Enwei Demon Kingdom for a long time had already come into contact with the war elephant troops, and it seemed that the outcome would not be determined for a while.
At this time, the messenger ran over out of breath and hurriedly reported: "There are troops leaving the city from the south and south gates. The scouts said they are hill giants, about five hundred in number!"
The hill giant is also a type of monster. It is the lowest level and the weakest giant under the category of 'giant'.
But this is the weakest one in relative terms. The collective height of these guys is over three meters, and they are half a head taller than the golem. No soldiers or horses can withstand their blows.
If a traveler encounters a hill giant in the wild, the best option is not to run away, but to convince these guys with words that the hill giant is terrifyingly stupid.
Of course, if you can't say that, then try two legs, but they can run much faster than ordinary people.
This group of guys appeared on the battlefield collectively, like armored vehicles charging in a swarm, requiring five times more soldiers to deal with them.
But hill giants have a fatal weakness, they are not resistant to magic.
So when Wendy looked at Aldai, the latter understood immediately.
"I understand, let me deal with it."
"Well, bring all the court mages with you."
Those court mages were still the same ones who followed Viola to Leon's territory. Although the number of troops under Viola's command was increasing rapidly, the number of mages was still not large.
However, under the cover of soldiers, it is enough to use these mages to deal with the hill giants.
"Tell the scouts to continue to closely monitor the movements of the remaining three doors, and report any news immediately."
"yes!"
Although the battle is going smoothly so far, and every move made by Enwei Demon Kingdom's army is expected, is this all they have?
The Demon Kingdom of Avarus has never fought against the Demon Kingdom of Enwei before, and the judgment of their combat effectiveness is based on the intelligence obtained from aerial reconnaissance.
What worries Wendy the most is that there have been many carriages wrapped in cloth in the army of Enwei Demon Kingdom. They are neither supplies nor weapons. So what exactly is placed on them is very worrying.
In short, it’s better to be careful and there is absolutely no room for error in this battle.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Counting from the first horn, more than an hour has passed since the fighting continued.
The battle on the city wall has not yet decided the winner. The main reason is that the reserve force of Enwei Demon Kingdom's army is too sufficient, and it is difficult for Viola's soldiers who rush to the city wall to seize control.
But this is the only good news.
The hill giant troops and war elephant troops sent to harass were either repelled by Viola or directly eliminated. Every move he made was expected by the opponent.
Although the city walls and gates were still intact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time.
Because the two hundred guard golems that landed in the air were almost advancing to the city gate.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that these guys are one against a hundred, but there is no problem if one is against ten, especially in the environment of urban street fighting, the soldiers cannot form a military formation at all, and it is even more difficult to fight against the golem.
Once the golem rushes to the city gate and opens the city gate inside and outside, the city wall will definitely not be able to hold, and the soldiers who are still fighting for the city wall will become abandoned.
As for stopping the golem? Who can stop it?
The golem is extremely powerful, has extremely high physical and magic resistance, and has almost no weaknesses. The only shortcoming is that it moves not fast enough, but this is not a weakness at all on the battlefield.
The standard operation for dealing with golems is to use spellcasting units to activate control spells to impede the golem's movements, and then use soldiers with heavy weapons to attack the joints where the golem's armor is relatively weak.
But now that the gods have fallen, the priests of the Enwei Demon Kingdom have collectively become silent. These guys can only serve as medical soldiers. In addition, they repent to the gods they believe in every day, hoping to regain their magical powers.
The mages need to maintain the barrier. Once they lose this, they are really helpless.
Therefore, the general defending the city is hesitating whether to give the order to abandon the city wall and retreat to engage in street fighting.
"Report! Golem troops are within visual distance!"
The hesitant general turned around quickly and leaned against the window. He saw a large number of black and gold-rimmed demons directly breaking through the shield wall built by his own soldiers, slashing left and right as if entering an uninhabited land.
This is thanks to the fact that the square where they landed is far away from the city gate, otherwise they would have killed them long ago.
"I am your purger!"
"Contempt is my shield!"
"I will wade through the blood of my enemies!"
"In the name of your Majesty! Infidels! Kneel down!"
The voices of the guard golems have reached the point where they are clearly audible. If we don't make a decision, it will be too late.
Seeing this scene, the general finally made up his mind.
"Tell all the troops in the west gate to leave in an orderly manner and re-establish defenses with the Grand Theater as the center."
The tower where the general is located is no longer safe. Once the city gate is breached, the enemy will definitely give priority to destroying the troops in the city walls and surrounding defense facilities.
It is true that I have made up my mind, but I am not resigned to it either.
The general almost gritted his teeth and said to his staff:
"Destroy all the information and blow up this tower."
All the staff members acted quickly and threw the documents into the brazier to destroy them. Soon everyone evacuated the temporary headquarters.
Professional engineers placed alchemy bombs on the tower. When the generals walked away, with a roar, the watchtower towering behind the city wall quickly collapsed in a large cloud of smoke, and countless rubbles were pressed behind the city gate.
From the beginning of its establishment, this tower has been designed with a pre-explosion point, so that when the war is unfavorable, the tower can be blown up to block the city gate. Almost all very large cities have similar settings.
However, the general knew that rubble could hold off an average army for a long time. Just clearing a path would take a lot of time, but it would not stop a dragon.
"General?"
Seeing that he was still staring at the city gate, the staff officer quickly reminded him.
At this time, the demons, who were in a deserted land, had almost rushed to the street entrance, and were less than 300 meters away from the general.
No matter how unwilling he was, the general could only grit his teeth and said:
“Let’s go!”
He picked up the holy symbol hanging on his chest, kissed it, and prayed secretly.
The King of War is here! What are we fighting against? !
