Yate Castle, the original Yate Town, has been built for only a year. Its newly built city walls are made of granite raw stones that have been cut and polished as a whole and then accumulated. The huge stones are connected with an adhesive mixed with a secret method, almost
It can be said that they are symbiotic. On the surface of the fortress wall, rows of sharp iron thorns are crisscrossed and densely distributed up and down. In the middle of the iron thorns, there are also plants that the Ensberg family secretly purchased from Aveili several generations ago.
The rare demonized plant "Demon Eater Vine". This terrifying vine is all black and as tough as steel wire. What's even more special is that the flowers and leaves on the vine are very sensitive to flesh and blood. As long as a vine leaf touches a little
The blood and the large monster-eating vines nearby will all boil, and then countless black branches and vines will swarm in from all directions like the arms of evil spirits, grabbing the poor prey tightly and tearing it into pieces.
When Baron Ensberg came up with such a "weird" castle building plan, it was not without opposition. The biggest skepticism was that it was such a high-standard, high-strength building with the addition of magical plants.
The cost is too high, almost three times that of an ordinary viscount-level castle of the same size. It is a huge waste for the Ensberg family whose long-term goal is to be promoted to viscount. However, it has always been based on
The Baron, who is known for his excellent economic acumen, showed "unreasonable" paranoia on this matter, and even the Baroness, who had always had a high reputation, could not persuade him.
But the facts proved that Baron Ensberg's decision was wise and far-sighted.
It is precisely because of the powerful fortress wall of New Art Fort that is not too tall, but is absolutely solid and integrates both offense and defense. It can always stand firm in the face of the sudden invasion of the demon army. Even if it has been attacked for half a month
Despite the continuous siege for months, Yate Castle still has not been able to open any gaps.
On the fort wall in front of you, nearly a hundred little demons were stepping on the corpses of their companions, passing through the terrifying trap composed of iron thorns and demon-eating vines, and climbing to the top of the city with difficulty.
This little devil is the main force in the Demon Legion. He is red in color, short in stature, but vicious in nature. He has a pair of goat-like sharp horns on his head, and a pair of small wings on his back but cannot fly. There is also a disgusting trailing behind him.
It has a spiked tail. But on average, the little devil's strength is about the same as that of a second-level human warrior, so it is not very powerful.
"Devil, die!"
Facing the crazy tide of attacks from the little devil, the sharp spears on the city wall were stabbed down with all their strength. The rapidly polished spear points were like sailor's harpoons. They were piercing the little devil's body from top to bottom.
There were many shocking blood holes. Many little demons screamed and fell down the city and turned into meat pies, or were torn into pieces by the crazy demonized plants around them that smelled blood.
However, from time to time, some powerful little devils flapped their short wings and jumped up, successfully crossing the fort wall. They jumped directly into the spearmen at the top of the city and killed them violently. Although most of them were quickly stabbed to death by the combined efforts of the surrounding spearmen.
, but the casualties caused to human soldiers in the melee were not small.
"careful!"
Just after suppressing the next wave of little devils' onslaught, suddenly a hot red light suddenly lit up about a hundred meters away from the castle. Immediately, the human soldiers on the city wall looked for bunkers such as crenels and female walls to dodge.
But in the blink of an eye, the rich red light outside the fort turned into many blazing fireballs, then flew high and fell in parabolas, directly hitting the Yate Castle high or low. Following this, a large area of explosive heat
Flames soared into the sky, and the waves of scorching heat even burned a few human guards who had no time to dodge into charcoal.
Gog Demon, the fireball warlock among demons, is also the only conventional long-range unit of demons.
In the brutal siege battle that lasted for half a month, the Gog Demon posed the greatest threat to Yate Castle. Because the Gog Demon's innate fireball technique could not only directly attack the guards on the city wall, but even cause damage to the fort wall itself.
Different degrees of hidden damage. Especially when the number reaches a certain level, a large number of fireballs will rain down on the castle. Both physical damage and psychological shock are very powerful.
Fortunately, the Gog Demon has a much smaller amount of spells per day than the formal mage profession. In addition, the human archers in the arrow tower have always given the Gog Demon "priority" and focused on attacking it. Therefore, in a few days
After rashly throwing a fireball and being shot into a hedgehog by an archer, the Gog demons no longer dare to easily swarm into the shooting range of human archers.
"Arrow! Shoot that bastard!"
The arrow tower of Artburg immediately retaliated, with rain of arrows flying down from the tower, exploding the two Gog Demons closest to the fort wall.
"Humans! Cowards! Kill you all!"
After being unable to attack for a long time, some "officers" among the demons outside the city finally couldn't bear the anger in their hearts, shouted and pushed away the little demons in front of them, and attacked personally.
That is the Horned Demon, a kind of mid-level demon, generally more than two meters tall, wearing natural demon scales, with many dark auras such as filth, blasphemy, curses, bloodthirsty, etc. It is a natural mid-level demon. It is just different from
Compared to human mid-level professionals, horned demons have a relatively simple mind, or they are more irritable and impulsive.
Quickly, the five-headed horned demon relied on its natural scales and powerful strength that were not inferior to the standard iron armor. It withstood the top-down spear thrusts and demon-eating vines, quickly broke through the city wall defense line, and boarded the city.
head.
"Human, die!"
Under the horned demon's hoof-shaped feet, a point of darkness suddenly spread out like an ink halo, and then turned into a circle.
Immediately, an invisible black curtain fell, covering the five-meter-wide space of the Horned Demon. Even the bright sun approaching noon in the sky could not illuminate the black curtain at all.
"Be careful! Be careful of demon attacks!"
Facing the completely opaque black screen, the human spearmen around them immediately lost all traces of the enemy. But in the blink of an eye, a sharp claw protruded from the black screen, and it grabbed the cheek of a spearman without any explanation.
Like a porcelain bowl, it was instantly dragged into the invisible darkness.
Then, in less than a second, a heart-rending scream of terror came out of the black screen, along with a splatter of flesh and blood and half-legs lying on the ground, still twitching.
"Romon!"
Seeing that their companions were easily dismembered by the Horned Demon, the spearmen on the side yelled angrily and raised their spears to stab the black curtain together, but the result was as if they were stabbed in the void, without any reaction. But then another
The devil's claws stretched out again and dug out the heart of another human soldier.
"You guys stand back and stop the little devil. Leave this place to me."
At the critical moment, Hamilton, the chief warrior of the Ensberg family, arrived. The lion's heart halo at his feet lit up, and in just a moment, he tore the horned devil's black halo to pieces as if it were swallowed up. Before the devil could wait for it,
Reacting, Hamilton slashed horizontally with his sword, slicing through the re-exposed enemy's body with his long sword. It was like a sharp fruit knife cutting through the tender flesh of a fruit. He was already an eighth-level warrior.
Hamilton cut the horned devil into two pieces in just one encounter.
Farther away, several more mid-level human warriors also rushed out to fight the horned demons painted on the city wall. However, within five minutes, under the cover and joint attack of many spearmen, those five
All the horned devils who entered the city were killed.
Seeing that this round of siege operations once again had no results, the demon, who was already feeling exhausted, finally slowly retreated, leaving only corpses on the ground and blood that could not be wiped clean.
"Hamilton, how's the situation?"
At this time, Baron Ensberg, who was dressed in military uniform, quickly climbed up the city wall, leaned behind a crenel, and looked solemnly at the still large and powerful demon army outside the castle.
"Sir, after repelling this wave of siege, there should be no new battles before noon." Hamilton wore Shao armor and held a sharp two-handed heavy sword. His whole body had been dyed red by the demon's flesh and blood.
.
"Baron Ensberg."
At this time, two mid-level warriors with the same blood-stained armor came from the other side. They were Lord Rother and his eldest son, Knight Hart.
"Thank you for your hard work, my lord. While the battle is suspended, go down and rest for a while."
Since the invasion of demons, some Kent nobles who have good relations with the Ensberg family have come to Yate Castle with their families to seek refuge, and at the same time they have expanded the defense power in the castle. Among them, "Rose" is a veteran knight family.
With three middle-level warriors including Old Rosser, eldest son Hart, and eldest daughter Victoria, as well as a group of loyal and reliable family private soldiers, Baron Ensberg treated the old Lord very politely.
"It's okay, the sun is strongest at noon, and demons generally don't move around at this time." Lord Rother is over fifty years old. Although his combat power is still strong, his physical strength has declined after all: "Hart, you stay here
Continue to stay."
"Yes, father." Hart, who was holding a huge ax gun in his hand, nodded. Even in his prime, he was still full of energy and high in fighting spirit even though he had just experienced a big battle.
"Sir, we don't have many arrows anymore. Can we think of a way to make another batch urgently?" At this time, Hamilton suddenly said.
"Yes, the most consumed part of the high-intensity battle in the past ten days is bows and arrows. If there is a shortage of arrows in the future, I am afraid that we will not be able to effectively suppress the Gog Demon."
Lord Rosser also looked at the several towering arrow towers around him with concern. They are important cornerstones of the defense system of Fort Yate. If the arrow towers misfire, the combat pressure on the soldiers on the wall will increase several times.
"As for the replenishment of bows and arrows, the workshops in the fort are working hard to make them. But as you know, the production of arrows requires a very complicated process, so the daily output is still very limited."
Speaking of which, Baron Ensberg had already hoarded a batch of bows and arrows as one of the pillars of Fort Art's defense system, but he still seemed powerless in the face of the demonic war.
"Or we can concentrate the arrows on sharpshooters and target the Gog Demon. As for the other little demons, it can only be up to the warriors." At this time, Hart suggested. (To be continued...
