Following his words, crimson light flashed out, and a super giant energy barrier mixed with flames quickly rose up with it as the center.
Levi withdrew immediately because he was worried that he would be enveloped by this barrier. No matter how strong he was, he would never be able to stop the thousands of enemies after being separated from his own army.
devil.
In fact, by now, he has almost given up.
With the cunning shown by Devil Vial, without external help, their chances of capturing this place today are almost zero.
The other party is really too cunning and too well prepared.
Obviously they had enough strength to take down the besieged knights before, but they set up an ambush at the entrance of the valley and left so many reserve troops. This happened one after another. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have been defeated earlier.
They've all been tricked.
Moreover, Li Wei did not see other spell casters. The devil Vial alone activated such a large barrier. Is the combat power it showed before really its full strength?
Although demons and demons are both the two evil alien creatures that pose the greatest threat to the main world, and their individual combat capabilities are very powerful, their fighting methods, wisdom, etc. are completely different.
In a one-on-one duel, the outcome is still uncertain, but if it is 100 devils versus 100 devils, Levi believes that the former's winning rate will definitely be far better than the latter.
If it weren't for the bloody battles between them that were ongoing on an extremely large scale and lasted for who knows how many years, so that any one of them could attack the main world with all their strength, it would be a disaster.
If they hadn't wasted a lot of time due to the battle with the Dark Blood Hand, maybe they would have been able to catch up?
But then Levi shook his head secretly, ignoring this possibility.
He had absolutely no regrets about launching an attack on Dark Bloodhand and the others, because if he hadn't sniped them there, he might have faced the devil and them at the same time.
As the chosen heroes who choose to join the Church of Cyric, it would be foolish to expect them to have any sense of the overall situation. Everything they do is only for their own benefit.
If they really had an overall view, they wouldn't work for Cyric.
What's more, if they are really smart enough, they will not be used by the devils to open this portal!
What we can do now is to retreat as best we can, wait for possible reinforcements from other directions, and then reorganize our forces to fight again.
According to previous communication, Michaela will rush to Thorn Town with her troops today as expected, and she hopes she can bring some powerful mages or priests with her.
Li Wei was like this, and the others were even more dazed. Most of them could not have imagined that they had spent so much energy, but in fact they only killed some low- and mid-level cannon fodder, and the enemy's main force was almost intact. This was a blow to them.
But it's too big.
Shudun, Zhang San and others couldn't help cursing. Although they had known for a long time that the devils were cunning and not easy to deal with, it was only after they actually fought with them that they realized how cunning they were.
Although none of their troops suffered much losses as a result, they still felt very aggrieved and angry.
The knights of Bator on the side were even more frightened. Even if their knight fighting experience was not rich enough these years, they were not stupid. If the devils attacked with all their strength from the beginning, they might not be able to wait for reinforcements at all, right?
But despite this, Li Wei did not give up. He once again commanded the troops to attack, at least to have a rough idea of the effect of the barrier.
Then he immediately felt that after passing through that special barrier, all his magic had been weakened by several dozen, especially the ice and fire magics that had been weakened the most. The ice storm and fireball spells had almost no
Effect.
As for the arrow rain from long-range units, the impact is even greater, because when the arrows pass through the barrier, they are burned up on the spot. Where can they attack the enemy?
Only the magic arrows of Donna and Avalon can penetrate and intercept, but the damage is not as good as before.
Based on the current number of the demon army and the speed at which they are increasing in number, even if their number were three to five times more, it would probably not make much sense.
Even Li Wei had begun to consider retreating, because just a short time after the barrier was raised, the devil army received hundreds of reinforcements.
According to this progress, if they continue to increase their troops for a while, the total number of troops may be greater than the aborigines and troops of the three nearby towns combined.
This is not an enemy they can deal with.
In the final analysis, they do not have this obligation or responsibility.
This is the trouble caused by those idiots in Cyric Church, why should they be allowed to end it?
Legion Demons are not good at attacking, but when it comes to defense, based on their special skills, they are definitely excellent cannon fodder.
At this moment, Luna suddenly warned that nearly a thousand troops were heading here, including infantry and cavalry. Judging from the flags of the other party, they should be the fearful legion from Deadwater Town.
Levi suddenly changed his mind slightly. If it was the other party, would it be possible to attack the devil while also weakening the power of the Fear Legion?
Sometimes, stronger allies are not always better, especially unstable temporary allies like the Church of Bane.
It would be good for both parties to slightly weaken the other party's strength and dispel their unrealistic illusions about one's own side.
He immediately sent out a messenger and tried to get in touch with the other party. At the same time, he retreated further and adjusted his formation, always being ready to escape.
The priests and druids also began to recover with all their strength, and the knights of Baator, who had been fighting for a long time, finally had a chance to breathe.
Only Donna and Avalon were still firing downwards continuously. Even if they couldn't really change the situation of the battle, it would be good to kill one more devil.
Shudun and Zhang San were still trying to use various methods to attack, trying to find out which kind of attack the opponent's barrier was relatively weak in defense against.
Levi also took the opportunity to call the old mage Tes over, wanting to find out in detail whether they had any information about these demons.
During this meeting, Li Wei was still as enthusiastic as ever, but the old mage was obviously very estranged from him, and his words were very respectful.
Originally out of the mage's pride, he didn't like to call him Master Li Wei, and just called each other mage, but now his attitude is obviously different from the past.
At first, Levi thought it was because the two parties had not seen each other for many days, but soon when he saw the knights around him looking at him with a little reverence, he knew that it was not just that.
This must be related to his legend.
With the continuous battles, he led his men to face powerful enemies many times, and prevented evil forces' plots more than once. In addition, he captured towns and witnessed demigods and even true gods. His legend level is now approaching 20
.
The ordinary leader of a town is just a few legends. His reputation now far exceeds theirs. It is not only limited to the colony, but has also begun to spread to the surrounding areas.
This led to the fact that when he met these relatively honest and trustworthy Aboriginal people, once he asked a question, he would tell them almost everything they knew.
He even felt that given the life-saving grace, even if he proposed to recruit the other party now, I am afraid that a large number of knights would agree.
But that's what happens after that.
After quickly communicating the information, Levi learned that it turned out that the old mage planned to travel around in search of ways to improve his strength. As a result, by chance, he met these knights of Baator who had gotten lost and ran nearby.
You must know that the Kingdom of Baator is probably thousands of miles away from here. Being able to get lost here shows that these knights are far superior to other members of the same race in terms of strength and wanderlust.
So he offered to join the team as a guide and take risks together to improve his own strength.
Even though these knights from Baator are still young people with little adventure experience, because they have received very strict training since childhood, their strength is definitely above average among the same level.
In the kingdom of knights, all real knights must and can only be nobles. Their training, weapons, armors, horses, etc. are better than ordinary knights in other human kingdoms.
Later, they rescued or accepted several druids, priests, rangers, etc. for similar reasons.
Because of the frequent fighting nearby, there are still many lonely wanderers in the wild.
Originally, they heard about the change of ownership in Thorn Town, and the old mage was very surprised and unexpectedly discovered one of the names that was not unfamiliar to them, so he planned to come to Thorn Town to have a look.
The knights who had also heard some of the legends about Levi did not refuse. They also wanted to meet this legendary figure who had recently become famous.
Then they met Cyric's followers by chance.
At first, they wanted to observe it first, and then see if the other party was planning any conspiracy, and then decide whether to stop it.
Ninety-nine percent of all the noble knights and ordinary farmers in the Kingdom of Bator have chosen to believe in the Lady of the Lake.
This goddess has always been very low-key and has no enemies or allies. Even for a guy like Cyric, who is known to hate people and dogs, there is no obvious hostility.
Therefore, the Baator knights did not want to take the lead in attacking before they were truly sure that the opponent was doing something bad.
Because their actions not only represent themselves, but also represent the Kingdom of Baator and the goddess.
Then they followed, and they didn't know whether it was a trick by Cyric's followers or a pure accident. They were delayed for a while by a group of beastmen.
After getting rid of the opponent relatively easily, they tracked all the way to the valley under the guidance of the ranger in the team. They found that with just such a slight delay, they arrived a little late.
They watched helplessly as an ominous bloody portal was opened, and the followers of Cyric were swallowed up by the demon army in the blink of an eye.
Whether those guys did it by coincidence or on purpose, they paid a high price for it.
So in order to prevent the invasion of the devils, the knights immediately attacked the devils, and then they were blocked in the valley and beaten violently.
Of course, their average strength is far superior to that of the Legion Demon, but because they have never been exposed to this kind of demon before and are not familiar with the opponent's abilities, they make one mistake after another, putting themselves in danger.
Li Wei basically knew what happened next. It can be said that without the assistance of Li Wei and others, none of these knights would survive.
After carefully inquiring about a few details, Li Wei felt that something was wrong.
Because according to the other party's description, the devils were not mid-to-high-level devils such as the blood-armored demons at the beginning, and they did not see any changes in the portal.
So when Levi broke the illusion, they were the most surprised.
Even though the devils are very cunning, they have never been able to detect them with so many armies.
For such a large barrier, they never saw the other party setting it up from the beginning to the end, which was a bit abnormal.
Li Wei couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the movements in the valley again.
Although he didn't find any clues on the surface, why was the opponent still willing to stick to the valley despite having so many troops?
If the insidious devil Vial built such a large barrier on his own and moved from place to place, why could he be so tolerant of his own provocation?
Does it really not care at all and just wants to keep increasing its troops, or is it actually powerless?
