After the initial chaos caused by Agran, the priests quickly calmed down and used the Hercules Aegis to greatly delay his offensive.
At first, they were frightened by the name of the big devil. Many priests died under Aglan's surprise attack before they could react. However, when they calmed down, they discovered that the rumors were extremely terrifying and absolutely impossible.
The great demons defeated were, at best, faster and more powerful than ordinary warriors.
Of course, this is also related to Aglan's inability to use flame escape. Without this great demon's innate teleportation method, Aglan's strength will undoubtedly drop a lot. If not, the priests in front of him would not be able to do anything at all.
I can't last this long.
Different legendary creatures are good at completely different areas of combat. For big demons, relying on the high-speed movement brought by flame escape, they can kill their enemies in an instant.
In this regard, they are similar to the magic assassins in the Thieves Guild, but those heavily armored enemies that the magic assassins cannot deal with can also be easily killed by the big demons with the giant scythe in their hands.
Seeing that Aglan, who was unable to use Flame Escape, was being held back by the priests who were adjusting his state, Rhodes naturally would not let this happen.
Just when Agran was facing the priests, Rhodes was not idle either. Taking advantage of the lack of defense in the city, he quickly came to the city gate, easily eliminated the defenders standing on the city wall, and opened the city gate at the same time.
, allowing the pagans outside the city to enter.
Under the influence of the Death Domain, those Erathians who died in the hands of Rhodes stood up again at this moment, picked up the most convenient weapon, and pointed it at their companions not long ago.
Aglan noticed the strange movement behind him, turned around suddenly, and saw crossbow arrows falling rapidly from the sky like raindrops.
Facing the crossbow arrows shot by the sharpshooter, even Agran did not dare to take all the damage caused by the armor-piercing arrows. Seeing that the crossbow arrow was about to come, Aglan did not dodge, but quickly waved the giant weapon in his hand.
Sickle.
For a moment, the giant scythe left an afterimage in Aglan's hand. The already huge scythe became extremely flexible at this moment. With a series of clanking sounds, he shot down all the crossbow bolts falling from the air.
.
Aglan could use the weapon in his hand to shoot down the crossbow bolts falling from the sky, but the group of priests behind him were not so lucky.
All the attention was attracted by Agran, and the priest who had no time to use the Aegis of Hercules was directly shot into a hedgehog by the crossbow bolt that fell from the sky without any warning. He fell to the ground and let out an increasingly weak wail.
"Marksmen, what are you doing? I didn't order you to shoot that big demon!"
When the commander saw this scene, his face suddenly turned livid. He didn't understand what those sharpshooters were doing. They fired the crossbow bolts in advance without even giving his own orders. The priests suffered a lot of losses and were unable to resist the incoming attack.
Big devil.
He secretly thought that after the battle was over, the marksman who took the lead in firing the arrows must be dealt with militarily. However, the words of the high-ranking priest beside him brought him back to reality.
"Lord Kendall...the marksmen who were dead are now standing up again..." the high-ranking priest said in a panic. Even the previous battle with those evil necromancers was not like this.
He felt so panicked.
"What did you say?" The commander glanced across the battlefield. Indeed, as the high-ranking priest said, the priests who had died under the crossbow bolts and fell to the ground were getting up one after another and uprooting them one by one.
The crossbow arrow was inserted into his body, but he didn't feel any pain on his face.
"Undead creatures...is this spiritualism? No, what on earth is this?" Recalling the battle with the necromancers, the commander showed deep consternation. He didn't understand how those hell demons did this.
, but one thing, he deeply understood, this time, he might be in trouble.
"Hurry up and contact the angels in Yunzhong City!" At this time, he had already ignored his own mission and put all his hopes on the angels in Yunzhong City. He knew that only those angels could defeat the enemy in front of him. After receiving his order, the high-level priest's eyes revealed a divine light, and at the same time, a strong magical element was released from his body.
On the battlefield not far away, with the addition of those undead priests, the priest group, which was already difficult to support, was even more unable to withstand the enemy's attack.
Seeing that the nearby priests were about to be annihilated, many priests were ready to evacuate using teleportation. At this moment, accompanied by several huge vibrating string sounds, huge crossbow arrows as thick as thighs and as long as a person were fired from behind.
Come over here.
As if the huge crossbow arrow was unstoppable, it opened a path among the undead creatures that came over. All the creatures in front of the crossbow arrow were instantly penetrated by the crossbow arrow.
Several ballistas specially designed for war were pushed over by some stiff-moving soldiers. Listening to the familiar sound of the ballistas, the commander seemed relieved.
With the existence of these ballistae, he seemed to see hope of holding on until the angels arrived. He believed that as long as those angels arrived, neither the giant nor the big demon in front of him would be an opponent of the angels.
Next to the commander, the high-ranking priest's spellcasting had not ended, but the divine light in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and he chanted loudly: "Merciful God, I pray to you, please send your faithful messenger.
,Destroy those evil enemies!"
The golden door opened from the sky, and a huge force enveloped it. The holy angel seemed to have heard the pious eulogy from the high-ranking priest, and opened the door of Yunzhong City in response.
Looking at the pure white wings symbolizing angels protruding from the golden door, the commander smiled. Even if his mission to defend the city failed, seeing the angels destroying the enemy with divine power was the best thing for his dead comrades.
Explain.
The sound of the crossbow's vibrating strings came to mind again, and the commander saw the huge black shadow approaching rapidly from the corner of his eye, and the smile suddenly froze on his face.
He was horrified to find that the huge crossbow arrow was aimed at him. The strong fear had already made his body unable to move.
He subconsciously looked at the soldiers controlling the ballista, only to find that there was an indifferent expression on the faces of those soldiers that he did not recognize. They were no longer the manpower arranged by the commander, but had been replaced by resurrected undead creatures. With a hint of disbelief, his body was penetrated by a huge crossbow arrow. After flying for a certain distance, he finally fell to the ground.
But soon, he stood up again and ushered in a new life in the realm of death.
