Not long after, when Elegy sent several legion demons flying with a spinning slash, she was soon slightly surprised to find that they could no longer get up from the ground.
Then, as if responding to them, nearly a hundred legion demons around them also fell to the ground with a crash.
Regardless of whether they were waving their sharp blades, roaring loudly, or marching forward at the last moment, they have all been transformed into pure corpses now, because the life pool of the entire phalanx of legion demons has been completely destroyed.
Exhausted.
Without any sound, another legion's demon battle formation, which had been waiting behind for a long time, had already rushed over with neat steps.
But almost at the same time, Levi also shouted and cast spells with Sally, using fireball and other magic to continuously bombard the enemy troops on the front line of the battle.
Most devils and devils have high resistance to fire attacks, so their attack is destined to not cause much damage.
However, the impact brought by the fireball technique is unable to be resisted by the generally low-strength legion demons. This can be more effective in containing and dividing the enemy.
At the same time, Cindy also released the sacred glacier and forcibly intercepted some legion demons. Even if they ignored the damage from the ice wall and ice gun, the solid ice wall was not something they could break through in a short time.
Donna even added a volley of arrows at the right time. It was good to have the monitoring team. Even if their frontal combat capabilities were pitifully weak, they could just use the news technique to issue the latest orders to their subordinates almost at any time.
It has made Levi completely inseparable from them.
The supervisors and Xiaotian also launched a coordinated attack from the ground and the air, all in order to save each other.
At the critical moment, the besieged knights also unleashed all their strength. Their spears, swords and maces were dancing non-stop, and they desperately charged in the direction of Li Wei and the others.
Because they also know that if this breakout fails, the devils may never give them another chance.
Faced with such an onslaught, although the legion demons possessed extremely powerful special skills, their basic attributes such as strength and agility were not up to par. The knights finally managed to break through and reunited with Levi and the others.
But behind them, there were still more than 20 corpses left.
This was partly because of the attacks of other demons, and partly because the demon Vial also took the opportunity to release two black fireballs, killing many knights in one fell swoop.
Then before Li Wei and the others could launch a counterattack, it disappeared again, with only a few sinister laughter echoing in the air. It was obviously extremely proud of this.
Although the knights of Baator were very sad and angry but helpless, Levi had silently made some preparations. He had even begun to consider whether he should risk his own life and attract the opponent to attack?
But in that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to use a big slap, otherwise the opponent's cunning will never come out so easily.
But with his own equipment and the magic of level 6 - Supreme Robe, there won't be much danger.
Of course, that is not now, otherwise it would be too deliberate, and he needs a new opportunity.
After a short rest, the knights quickly and consciously joined the battlefield from the side.
Although they lost their most proud war horse, with their superb martial arts and relatively solid armor, they still fought with style.
Li Wei also asked the priests to help take care of the other party, and finally rescued him, but don't let them lose too much at this time.
As for the old mage Tes, and several other guys dressed as druids, rangers and priests, they were all breathing heavily and almost collapsed on the ground.
It can be seen that in the previous difficult battles, their physical strength, magic power, energy and many other aspects have been severely tested.
Levi glanced at it and asked several druids to take care of it, but now that the war was urgent, he had no time to chat or reminisce with the other party.
Because as they were rescued, the demons quickly re-adjusted their formation, and they now had to face six or seven battle formations composed of legion demons.
So an increasingly cruel battle began. Due to the characteristics of the legion demons, they could fight without fear. However, after our own attacks hit them, it was difficult to see the actual effect immediately.
So as he continued to fight, Li Wei noticed that the morale of the knights began to decline significantly. Faced with such an enemy that was almost impossible to kill but had such a large number, even the proud knights would feel sad.
Get discouraged.
Most of these knights who venture out for wealth are the second sons of nobles. Young knights who have just grown up are not particularly strong in terms of strength, will or experience. It is particularly commendable to persist until now.
Already.
But for Li Wei and others, the situation is not bad.
Because after the initial discomfort, they could soon truly feel that the strengths and weaknesses of the legion demons were equally obvious.
First of all, their output is extremely limited. Except for a few advanced veterans, elite soldiers or sergeants, the other level 2 legion demons have no way of breaking through the defenses of the front row silver guards or dwarf warriors.
Secondly, one death means a hundred deaths at once. No matter how well the devil Vial, who has been hiding in the dark, directs it, it will inevitably cause a brief gap in the devil's battle formation.
And this is Li Wei's opportunity.
Although the legion demons are not easy to kill, other hell cats or chain demons do not have this treatment. They usually have the protection of the legion demons, but during this gap, they can kill them wantonly.
Therefore, under Li Wei's order, when almost every legion demon phalanx fell, dozens of mid-level demons would be buried with it.
But as he continued to hit, Levi felt something was wrong.
Because even though they continued to kill these mid-level demons, their number did not decrease at all, and new demons continued to emerge from the portal.
And I don’t know if the portal has gradually stabilized or if the devils on the other side have performed some special magic rituals. Now stronger devils have appeared one after another.
In addition to the little devils, chain devils and hell cats, there are also reaper devils holding daggers, covered in blood, and pain devils who use long and sharp thorn chains as weapons.
These two kinds of devils are already level 4 troops, and each has its own special attack methods, such as sneak attacks, backstabs, bleeding, and splitting, to name a few.
Moreover, they were very cunningly hiding behind the legion of demons, making it clear that they were to be used as cannon fodder while they only took advantage of the chaos to make sneak attacks.
In the face of their attacks, although our own melee troops suffered little loss, in addition to the constant consumption of physical strength, the magic of priests, druids and other units has gradually become unable to replenish it.
If the current situation continues, they will be unable to make ends meet within half a quarter of an hour. At that time, small-scale deaths will occur among melee troops one after another until the formation completely collapses.
This is still a situation where stronger demons do not appear. If the number of demons continues to increase and become stronger in the future, it is entirely possible that large-scale deaths will occur on one's own side.
What's more important is that they are not the only ones here. The Cyric Church came here so early and was even used by the devil. Is it possible that the even closer Bann Church is completely unaware of this?
Once they arrive, even if they face the threat of the devil, they may not attack their own side. Li Wei will not completely rely on his enemy's reason and the overall situation for his own safety.
And he wanted to see if the devils would chase him out once he retreated.
In that case, Amazon and Luna can exert their full strength on the plains.
Now that the entrance to the valley is too narrow, the Amazons can only use projectiles, while the huntresses and dryads generally have shorter shooting ranges, and they are surrounded almost the entire time.
On the contrary, Luna herself participated in the front-line battle and confirmed Levi's previous suspicion.
Her ejection skill can activate the ball of lightning. Although the single damage is very low, it can be ejected up to 5 times in one attack, and the overall damage will be amazing.
In this way, Levi has also identified Luna's future development direction, which is to obtain more equipment with similar attack effects, rather than simply pursuing attack power.
Unfortunately, he felt that it was unlikely that the devils would take the bait because they were too rational and too cunning.
The opponent's current goal is obviously to hold the portal and allow more demons to enter the main world, rather than to immediately capture the town or massacre mortals.
Thinking of this, Li Wei directly began to change his battle strategy, trying to get his side out of the battle.
At the same time, he also notified the knights of Baator and asked them to cooperate with the retreat.
Although the knights were very reluctant, they still did not refute and expressed their obedience.
On the one hand, this is out of life-saving grace, on the other hand, they are not idiots.
When necessary, they are willing to pay the price with their lives in order to defeat evil, but now the devil's army is almost endless. Even if they pay their lives, they may not even be able to delay the enemy.
Levi and Sally repeated their old tricks, using fireball to repel the devils on the front line. At the same time, Donna also took the opportunity to launch a volley of arrows, and Cindy used flame attack and ice wall to further try to isolate the enemy from us.
Since they had already had a successful experience, they cooperated even more tacitly this time.
Stump, Zhang San and Amazon also used all their strength, so soon, except for the thirty or fifty legion demons, the remaining demons were all forcibly separated on the other side.
But despite this, the devils did not waver in the slightest. No matter whether they were faced with a rain of arrows or a sea of fire, they were fearless and ran into them without hesitation.
Levi didn't want to worry about these miscellaneous soldiers. He simply ordered the melee troops to retreat forcefully, and no longer even blocked the entrance. Anyway, even if they were allowed to attack, the damage suffered by the silver guards would be minimal.
But if they really dare to chase them out in a big way.
Unfortunately, just as Li Wei expected, once they reached the valley, the devils stopped pursuing him.
The legion demons are still used as cannon fodder. They are firmly guarding the entrance to the valley. No matter how their own long-range units attack, they are indifferent.
Seeing such a good target, Shudun, Zhang San and others were excited, using all kinds of long-range and magic methods.
The demons did not dodge and allowed them to attack. Even if two legion demons were killed as a result, they would just silently mobilize new companions from behind instead of trying to launch a counterattack. It looked like
I'm just giving everyone a chance to gain experience points.
This made Stump and the others shout more and more, and the Baator knights also relaxed their expressions.
Although they lost many companions in this battle, it now seems that the devils also paid many times the price, and their sacrifices were also valuable.
But Levi, Donna and others felt that something was getting more and more wrong. The devil was never a fool, and he could only do this for the greater benefit.
But despite this, they are unable to change anything for the time being, they can only kill as many demons as possible.
After some consideration, Li Wei decided to go to the front line in person.
On the one hand, it acts as a bait, trying to lure out the devil Vial and carry out beheading tactics on it.
On the other hand, it is also to check the reality of the portal in person.
He hasn't seen the new Needle Demon and Little Devil for a while. These two flying units have joined the battle. What is the other side busy with?
Unfortunately, he still failed to lure out the devil Vial. He was indeed a cunning devil hero and easily saw through his plan to lure the enemy.
However, he relied on his flying advantage to successfully see the little devils and needle devils gathering in a corner.
Almost at the same time that he looked at each other, the devils looked up at him. When he faced hundreds of pairs of red eyes that exuded ferocity and cunning, he couldn't help but feel startled.
Of course he wasn't scared by these low-level devils, he wasn't that timid, he just smelled a conspiracy.
Although so many flying units have been gathered, why don't they launch an attack on Donna and the others in the sky?
Even if they are unlikely to be the opponents of Donna and others, even if they are just delaying time, it is better than passively accepting the attack.
There must be a conspiracy!
He passed through the ice storm, then took a deep breath, prepared to use the Dragon Breath Technique, and asked Cindy, Donna and others to secretly cooperate.
Unfortunately, during this whole process, no devils came to try to interrupt his spellcasting, until he killed dozens of little devils in one move and hit the bloody door.
Then he was very surprised to find that the blood-colored gate twisted instantly, and then it shattered like a dream bubble, and another almost identical gate was exposed about ten meters away on the northeast side.
His face suddenly became a little embarrassed. It turned out that the devils had used illusion magic to mislead them unknowingly.
No, maybe what they saw was just an illusion from the beginning!
At this moment, hundreds of more powerful devils are neatly arrayed in front of the real bloody gate.
Not only were there more than two hundred Nightmare Demons and Chain Demons, there was also a kind of devil covered in blood.
In addition to the characteristics of devils such as horns, scales, and fangs, they are all 3 meters tall, hold heavy spears that look extremely powerful, and carry crossbows made of brass and bone behind them.
They don't have any real armor on their bodies, instead they have metal plates fixed with nails driven directly into their flesh.
Where these nails were driven in, black blood was dripping downwards, and a large number of maggots visible to the naked eye were crawling on their wounds.
Even as devils, after suffering such treatment, their expressions were obviously distorted by pain.
They are the fifth-level soldiers - blood-armored demons. They are the truly elite high-level soldiers in Baator Hell. It is said that the devil lords will also recruit them as their personal guards.
In addition to being able to fight with crossbows and spears that are visible to the naked eye, they also have multiple special skills, strengthening by bathing in fire, group combat, and the most disgusting rot maggot explosion.
The first two can be roughly understood from the literal meaning. Their strength will be slightly improved when they are in the flames and fighting side by side with other blood-armored demons.
As for the latter, after they die, the special maggots that host and absorb their life force will explode collectively, causing corrosive and poisonous damage to the surrounding enemies in a small area.
In rare cases, some maggots will not die, but will live in the enemy's body. This will not create a new blood-armored demon, but it is obvious that the opponent will definitely not feel good about it.
Now the opponent has gathered so many powerful devils early, but has been reluctant to use them in previous battles. It is obvious that he is preparing a huge conspiracy!
The devil Viard, who had appeared before, was standing in the middle of these devils, looking at him very proudly.
"Elf, I have to admit that the power of you and your men really surprises me. If everything in the main world were as powerful as you, it would be really difficult for our invasion to succeed."
"It's a pity that from the beginning, you had no chance of victory at all!"
