Standing outdoors and looking at the distant scenery, d-knight was surprised to find that this was not the Gray Frost ruins he knew, because everything looked so lush and full of life.
Arkadir, the red-robed commander wearing armor, turned to look at the palace wizard Rudels beside him.
Unlike ordinary old men, although Rudels is very old, he is not hunched over. His straight waist makes him look half a head taller than Arkadir.
Arkadir withdrew his gaze from his gray and fluffy beard, and glanced at the checkpoints he had arranged at the foot of the mountain. There was still worry in his handsome eyebrows: "Teacher."
Arkadir would only call Rudels this way when there was no one around. Before he became a commander, he had been an apprentice under this respected court wizard for a long time. Although Arkadir
My attainments in magic are far less famous than his swordsmanship, but this does not hinder his respect for Rudels.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's just the two of us here."
Rudels saw the anxiety hidden in his proud disciple's eyes and sighed.
"The Dark Portal that Avagon opened this time was probably caused by those black-skinned dwarves..."
"Arkadir, you are the commander. Don't let your personal emotions affect your judgment. The dark elf has become our ally."
"How can we put our hope in those guys who are good at treachery? Teacher, we lack everything now, no city walls, no ballistae, not even priests who can treat the wounded, only the passionate loyalty of the soldiers, you know clearly that if
The demons of Avagon are coming, and we can't resist them for long!"
"We have no choice." The old mage's face showed neither sadness nor joy, and his pair of gray-brown eyes looked at the west. "No matter what the price is paid - even if we fight to the death until only the last person is left, we will never be able to bring this down."
Handing over a temple, others may not understand why the Sanctuary built the temple here, but I think if it is you, you should understand the reason."
"There is an extremely huge elemental power hidden under the mountains here. If it is given to the demons, they will use it to tear open the rift in time and space. If the demon king in the abyss is brought to this world - then, it will be all
The end of the race on earth." Arcadir raised his head. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he still said: "I understand."
The old mage leaned on his staff and sighed: "Everything can only be hoped that our allies will arrive soon. God bless Croyette!"
The demonic offensive begins at dusk.
The sun in the sky has not yet set on the horizon, but a dense black tide has already swept in from the west of the temple with great force.
The wind was howling violently, destroying everything, and by the way, it started to rain.
Arkadir shouted in the wind and rain: "Soldiers, please line up, don't panic, don't retreat, keep your defense line!"
The first wave of demonic attacks arrived quickly. They were a group of ugly green bog demons. They were only half the height of humans and had bald heads. They often used wooden boards or blunt instruments polished with stones as weapons. Green bog demons
The demon's IQ is not high, so his rank in Alvaron's forces is very low. However, because he has a strong reproductive ability and is brave and aggressive, he is often used as a charge unit by the demon army.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the advantages and disadvantages were immediately distinguished. In terms of individual combat capabilities, the three green swamp demons combined could not defeat a human warrior. But the problem was that the ink-colored tide coming like a flood was really
It's so fierce that you can only see those bald-headed green-skinned monsters filling up the ravines that humans dug for a day or more in an instant.
They were not afraid to use their bodies to fill the pit, and they used all their strength to hit the wooden fence blocking their way forward. Although the human warriors behind struggled to withstand the impact, then this group of green people with low IQ and sufficient dexterity
However, the skin monsters figured out how to use each other's bodies as a platform to cross the fence that was several times higher than their bodies. The green tide continued to pour in, and the guards of the wooden fence were overturned by the big waves. They did not stop at all, and continued
Rushing upward.
However, this situation is not the worst. While the ground is constantly being squeezed by demons, the black tide in the sky is sweeping in. Countless gargoyles are overwhelming the sky. They are as powerful as the wind and move like locusts. As long as they swoop down, the soldiers
Their bodies were eaten away by the black hurricane. The metal armor and sword blades corroded in the wind. Their skin, flesh and blood were peeled off bit by bit and devoured cleanly. Only the white skeletons were left, which fell in place.
!
This was a horrific massacre, and the human soldiers were retreating steadily.
"Those in the back, draw your bows, don't let those damn gargoyles come over. Soldiers in the front gather your formation, hold on, you must hold on!"
He raised the sword in his hand and cut the oncoming gargoyle into two pieces with one strike. Arkadir's voice screamed in the rain.
The situation was not optimistic at all, no, it was simply terrible. The moment he shouted, two more soldiers on the front line were torn into pieces.
Fortunately, his men were all proud soldiers of the empire, and they fired a uniform volley, slightly blocking the advancement of the black tide.
"Oh, damn! Those in front move back, let's narrow the encirclement!"
exhausted!
A thunder exploded in the sky, whitening half of Arkadir's face. He looked towards the sky, and saw the group of black gargoyles converging in the same direction, forming a huge shadow floating in the sky.
What is that? Everyone's face is a little more gloomy. Because the figure is so huge and oppressive that people can't breathe.
"Sir, what should we do?"
The adjutant came up and asked Arcadir.
what to do?
Arkadir clenched his fists.
"Hold on, even if you lose your life here, you must hold on until the last moment, do you hear me?"
He grabbed the adjutant's collar and shouted hoarsely.
The monster in the sky spread its wings, covering the sky and the sun. The moment it swooped down, it swept away an entire row of soldiers. Some of the unlucky ones who couldn't dodge were instantly torn into minced meat by his sharp claws.
.
Arkadir's blood boiled and his eyes turned red with anger.
He showed his sword and thrust it straight into the sky: "Bastard, come down and fight me to the death!"
But the monster turned its wings, swayed in a circle in a mighty manner, and continued to sweep away the human soldiers.
Arkadir turned his head angrily and shouted to the archers behind him: "Shoot it down for me!"
"But sir..."
"This is an order!"
But even if the commander gave orders, there would be times when he was unable to do anything. The arrows shot by the archers were blown away by the strong wind fanned by the monster's wings before they could even stick to the monster's body.
Just when Arkadir was worried, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, directly hitting the monster's floating body. It suffered such an unexpected attack, its wings sank, and it almost fell from the air.
It fell down, but at least it tried its best to flap its wings and stabilize its balance.
With a puzzled look, it turned towards the direction of the temple.
On the top of the tower of the temple, the figure of the court wizard Rudels appeared there. His white beard and robes were dancing fiercely in the wind and rain. He held his staff high and recited ancient incantations.
Wow, another bolt of lightning struck down!
The Croyet soldiers rejoiced for this blow, but Rudels's face did not relax. It should be said that his old face became more serious - the monster plummeted in the air for a while, barely stopping, like
It was relieved of the heavy pressure brought by the thunder and lightning. It shook its mouse-like head, screamed strangely, and rushed towards the direction of the temple.
"teacher!"
Arkadir couldn't help shouting, but he had no time to be distracted, because a new wave of demonic offensive had already arrived at the city!
Long plot animation.
Chu Yun suddenly found that his mouse could move.
He received a mission prompt: Hold the line for 5 minutes and protect Arkadir from being killed!
