If we leave the castle to fight, the advantage of the devil army will be completely wiped out.
After understanding this, even the Horned Demon, who always liked surprise battles, gave up this plan.
Just fight a defensive war!
Devils are all masters in defensive warfare.
As time passed, more and more frost giants and frost kobolds gathered outside the city.
Finally, amid bursts of roars, the frost kobold, covered in a layer of white fluff, moved.
They were like a field of snow, spreading rapidly toward the castle. Even dozens of catapults firing stone projectiles could not stop their progress.
When the frost kobolds were less than 500 meters away from the castle, the giant crossbows deployed on the city wall began to show their power. Every time the giant crossbow was launched, a long line of frost kobolds would be cleared from the snow.
When the distance was less than a hundred meters, the devils on the city wall began to summon their kindred spirits.
Regardless of whether the summoning was successful or not, many demons suddenly appeared on the city wall.
After that, these demons began to release various spells under the city wall.
After a series of spells such as scorching ray, evil shadow strike, ice cone, ice storm, blasphemy, evoking the undead, ice wall, etc. were thrown down, the frost kobold camp that was still advancing rapidly was immediately emptied.
A big piece.
The number of frost kobolds that fell in an instant exceeded a thousand.
But even such a tragic loss did not stop them, but instead stimulated them to speed up their progress.
The city gate opened and fell on the magma moat. Thousands of small lemures, barb demons, spiked demons, chain demons, hell cats and other melee demons attacked one after another.
If you stay for a long time, you will be defeated!
As a commander, the Horned Demon naturally knows the harm to morale of being on the defensive all the time, and a proper attack can damage the morale of the attackers.
The dark red waves and the white snow quickly collided.
The two sides instantly fell into a fierce fighting battle.
Every moment, a large number of ice kobolds fell in a pool of blood.
This is not surprising, even the weakest little lemure can be at an advantage against more than a dozen ice kobolds.
But there were too many ice kobolds, and as the battle progressed, the kobold priests and warlocks who followed behind also began to take action, throwing buff spells at the kobolds and attack spells at the devil's head.
Under such circumstances, the horned devil had no choice but to blow the horn and summon the devil's army to retreat.
Compared to the chaos and disorder of the ice kobolds, the demon army retreated in an orderly manner.
First, the little lemures turned around and ran away. After the little lemures escaped a certain distance, the middle and high-level devils used advanced teleportation techniques to teleport directly back to the city wall.
As the last little lemure crossed the lava river, the city gate began to slowly rise.
Several relatively strong ice kobolds jumped onto the city gate regardless of their own safety, swung the small axes in their hands, and tried desperately to chop at the iron chains on the city gate, trying to prevent the city gate from being raised.
But all this is a futile exercise.
As a few arrows were shot down, the ice kobolds fell into the lava river, a lava bubble exploded, and then no bones remained.
A large number of ice kobolds are constantly crowding beside the lava river.
They don't have wings, and they don't have enough jumping power to cross the lava river, which is more than 20 meters wide.
Under such circumstances, many ice kobolds were directly squeezed down and rolled into the lava river, screaming in agony.
Fang Xiaoyue stood on the main tower and watched this scene quietly.
In fact, just a lava moat can stop the Ice Kobolds from advancing.
The only thing worthy of attention now is whether those frost giants will come up with any new tricks.
When the war reaches this scale, Fang Xiaoyue will not end easily.
Apart from anything else, if those frost giants are holding back their evil intentions and want to use a decapitation tactic, the risk of ending up fighting in person is still very high.
But even so, Fang Xiaoyue's eyes did not let go of the frost giant's rear.
He is looking for the leader of the frost giants.
In such a large-scale war, even if the frost giants are divided into tribes, and each tribe has a leader, if there is no commander in charge of power, then it is impossible for these frost giants to form a joint force to deal with the devil.
Just like demons, if there is not a powerful demon lord pressing on them, those demons will soon be defeated by killing each other.
But what made him frown a little was that even though he looked at the Frost Giant camp from beginning to end several times, he still couldn't find a Frost Giant whose size was much larger than the other Frost Giants.
Generally speaking, the leaders of giants are much taller than ordinary frost giants.
For example, ordinary frost giants are generally about five meters tall, while frost giant elders are seven or eight meters tall, and the leader of the frost giant tribe is twelve meters tall.
According to this logic, the frost giant commander who leads the entire frost giant army should not be less than sixteen meters tall, or even taller.
Although there are a lot of frost giants, more than 20 tribes combined, there are as many as 6,000 people, scattered in the volcanic area, it is also a sea of people.
But Fang Xiaoyue checked all the more than 20 frost giant leaders, but could not find any particularly prominent frost giants.
Could it be that my guess was wrong?
Fang Xiaoyue touched her chin, her eyes still scanning, refusing to let go of any unreasonableness.
And as time passed, it became dark.
On the city wall, the devils were divided into three teams, constantly throwing spells, arrows, and stone bullets into the ice kobolds, reducing their number as much as possible.
After one team retreated due to too much consumption, the other team immediately picked up.
In this way, the three groups of demons continued in succession, which really caused heavy losses to the ice kobolds crowding beside the lava river.
At this time, those ice kobolds also began to carry stones and throw them into the lava river, hoping to block the river and pave a road to the city wall.
At the same time, a large number of frost giants also rushed to the lava river. They struggled desperately regardless of the ice kobolds they stepped on, and condensed an ice ball the size of a human head in their hands, and then threw the ice ball towards the city wall.
This kind of counterattack really brought some trouble to the devils on the city wall, but more importantly, it caused the devils to reduce their attacks, which made the ice kobolds fill the river a little faster.
Of course, this lava river is not easy to fill.
When those stones are thrown into the river, most of them are directly melted into magma and flow forward along the magma. Only when the number reaches a certain level does this kind of river filling make sense.
At the current pace, it will take more than three days.
