Chapter 213: Altar (Part 1)
Early the next morning, the world outside the mining area was sunny, but the light in the mining area was dim and the smell of blood was full of depressing.
The second line of defense is built not too far from the crack. The construction of the line of defense is similar to the half-wall line of defense in the earth during tug-of-war. It is piled up with stones and weapons. People hide behind it to prevent various enemy attacks and have a certain degree of defensiveness.
At this moment, on this line of defense, several heavy crossbows were constantly firing towards the enemies in front, and huge arrows were constantly shooting out, and with fierce force, they blasted into the group of moving forward monsters, penetrated more than a dozen small demons and tore their flesh and blood.
Speaking of these heavy crossbows with great power, they were actually transported here in the middle of the night yesterday. Romon's logistics troops sent a team to remove the four heavy crossbows that were originally placed on the city wall, and transported them over, and two of them were placed on the first line of defense.
Unlike the power of a small crossbow, the crossbow arrows shot by this heavy crossbow need to be fired farther, and of course the power is much greater. The crossbow arrows themselves are as thick as bowls, three meters long, and have a strong power. They often penetrate more than a dozen small demons and can penetrate into the stone wall. Their power is not inferior to the heavy crossbows on earth.
As soon as Romon got the heavy crossbow, he attacked the attacking monsters and demons. In addition, the cooperation of the crossbow bow caused considerable losses to the opponent.
Another short battle break.
Seeing that after a night, the soldiers' fighting spirit was a little distracted, Romon took a turn for the rest according to the scheduled plan. Fafer and more than a dozen soldiers were still responsible for the supply and reinforcements in the rear.
Romon took the others on the defense line to cause trouble for the enemy and make them lose their troops.
At six o'clock in the morning, I noticed something strange. A simple altar was under construction less than 500 meters away from the second line of defense. Several big demons were commanding the construction of the altar while allowing the little demons and monsters to continue fighting forward.
The little demons seemed to be afraid or retreating. Although Romon and others gave the other party a fierce attack, they still fell down in batches and rushed up in batches, which was a headache.
"Romon, look at them, what is the one that the three big demons are building behind?" Fafeer obviously noticed the other party's behavior, and walked over from behind and asked.
Romon narrowed his eyes and stared at him, answering: "It's the altar."
"Altar?" Fafell looked at the great demons and the strange pile of stones that were about to be built with some confusion: "What are they building this? They are fighting now, and there is still time to do this ceremony?"
Romonbai glanced at him and was worried about the lack of knowledge of this guy: "You, have you forgotten what I told you last time, about the immortal ghost? This dark altar can provide people with this dark power. They built this, probably because of these tug-of-wars, and they suffered heavy losses. I have a feeling that if they really built this altar, we are afraid that we will be in trouble."
When Fafeer heard this, he immediately understood and was a little anxious: "What are you waiting for? You can't let them build the altar!"
Romon nodded: "I think so too."
Then he walked to the soldier who was firing heavy crossbows and long arrows, and watched the other party fire several heavy crossbows and long arrows. Then he said, "Can you shoot at those big demons?"
The soldier turned around and saw that the person who spoke to him was the Lord Lord, and immediately replied respectfully: "Sir, you can try it!"
"Okay, have you seen the stone platform built by those big demons? Launch it and destroy the stone platform." Romon pointed to that location and said.
The soldier immediately said, "Okay, sir."
The angle of the heavy crossbow was quickly adjusted to the position aimed at the stone platform. Then, at the command of Romon, a long heavy crossbow arrow quickly penetrated.
The heavy crossbow's long arrow was very fast, so fast that even though the big demons discovered it, they were powerless to stop it. They could only watch a heavy crossbow's long arrow, with a very powerful impact force, smashed a hole in the stone platform that they had accumulated.
"Stop them! These despicable humans!" a big demon roared angrily.
One of the little demons beside it was also hit by stone fragments, covered in blood, which actually stimulated the big demon. It grabbed a wounded little demon, tore it apart, and then put it in its mouth to bite it. Faced with its cruel performance, the other little demons were so scared that they were trembling all over, and the heavy crossbows and long arrows fired from Romon one after another were so angry that they were so angry that they were the big demons.
"Quick! Tear those humans! Hurry!" They shouted.
Under their clamor, more and more monsters and little demons rushed towards Romon. The big demons saw that the altar that was about to be built was destroyed. Although they were very unwilling to give up, they had no choice but to retreat for a long distance, almost retreated to the crack and build the altar again.
"Can you shoot there?" Seeing them changing places, Romon turned around and asked the soldier who fired heavy crossbows and long arrows.
The soldier replied in embarrassingly: "Sorry, sir, the range of heavy crossbows and long arrows can only reach the position just now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can continue to launch." Romon knew that he could not stop the construction of the altar this time, so he had to look depressedly at the big demons who motivated the little demons to build a stone altar behind.
Fafell brought the team members to transport a batch of crossbow arrows from outside. Seeing Romon, he couldn't help but crawl over and ask, "How is it now?"
Romon frowned and said, "The altar just now has been destroyed, but they are now building a new altar."
Fafell tried hard to look into the distance, and sure enough, the new altar had been half built. He said anxiously: "Then keep destroying it."
Romon shook his head: "No, the distance is too far. Not to mention that my fireball and lightning technique cannot pass through, even the two heavy crossbows will definitely not be able to pass through."
"What should I do?" Fafell asked.
While throwing a fireball into the monster group and blowing up a few monsters, Romon replied: "Let's wait and see if it doesn't work, so retreat to the third line of defense. Here, we have consumed a lot of their troops, and even if we withdraw, it will be enough."
The first time I saw Romon saying the word "大博" in such a ferocious look, Fafeer felt a little strange. He was holding a crossbow in his hand, shooting at the little demon outside the defense line, and saying, "Yes, we have killed hundreds of little demons from the beginning to now. Look, their corpses are everywhere in the mining area, and in comparison, our casualties are relatively small."
Speaking of this, Romon remembered the wounded people who had just been carried down and asked, "How are those wounded people?"
Fafell said: "The pastor is being treated, and basically nothing is wrong. There are a few people who tend to be poisoned. The pastor has treated their wounds according to the method you teach. If the severe ones are, they will be withdrawn from the village for cultivation."
Romon nodded: "That's good."
Just as they were talking, the altar on the big demon had been built. Then, the big demons each grabbed a little demon next to them, tearing them apart, pulling out all the internal organs and blood vessels. Then, all the bloody ones were contributed to the altar, and then some kind of evil ritual began.
Blasts of black mist emerged from the altar, and the little demon became turbulent as if he had taken stimulants.
"Romon, why do these little demons seem to have stronger defense?" Without much time, Fafell had discovered the difference between these monsters in front of him and the little demons.
Just now, they were easily killed with one arrow. Now, the black fog seemed to awaken something in their bodies, with blood-red eyes and fearlessness. Even the skin has a vague defense against dark force field, which basically requires stronger power to penetrate them.
Romon frowned at a glance, and he finally knew the function of this altar: "It is to increase the vitality of these monsters and little demons, and to improve combat power and defense ability in a short time."
"Everyone, retreat quickly and retreat to the third line of defense!" At this time, after fighting for a night, the fortifications were already incomplete. Seeing that a large number of monsters had already rushed over, Romon had to take everyone backwards.
When the little demon poured into the second line of defense, with a "boom", the trap originally prepared took effect, and oil and firewood burned, creating a huge sea of ​​fire.
With this barrier, Romon and others had safely retreated to the third line of defense, and based on the advantages here, they launched an attack on these monsters.
Another group of monsters fell down under their attack.
However, because of the appearance of the altar, the demon's side obviously increased its strength. Romon had to deal with them with a greater intensity than before, and the effect might not be very large. Therefore, the battle began to develop in a tragic direction between both sides.
By around 10 a.m., the war was fierce, and both sides were killed and injured. The number of people who needed treatment increased greatly. Those who had been in charge of logistics at the beginning had to go to the battlefield and struggled to defend their homes.
When Romon was resting again, he went to the back to see the soldiers lying on the ground, and he began to consider whether to give up the third line and continue to retreat to the back.
However, judging from the current situation, even if he keeps retreating, his defense can at most stop the opponent from defending for a period of time. It seems not easy to really eliminate the opponent on the defense line.
