Blood Crow's high alertness and Warlord Shank's timely change of defense strategy brought a lot of trouble to the insect swarm.
The "dominos" tactic that Zagara originally planned to carry out could no longer be implemented at all.
This tactical plan is based on the multi-layered defense layout of the demon army. Zagara wants to use the absolute strength of the swarm to accumulate offensive advantages starting from the outermost line of defense. Every time a line of defense is breached, he can lead to a great victory.
Wei drove the demon army's defeated troops to break through the next line of defense in one fell swoop, causing the demon army's multi-layered defense lines to fall one after another like dominoes.
It's a pity that the two commanders of the Demon Legion are not fools, so naturally they will not see Zagara's plan successfully implemented.
After the first layer of defense collapsed at such a fast speed, they promptly changed their tactical arrangements, completely shrinking the multi-layered defense layout that was originally used to consume the strength of the insect swarm and weaken the energy of the insect swarm, and now it has become a mutually dependent one.
A two-phase defense front.
The advantage of doing this is that firstly, you can clench your strength into a fist and face the attack of the insect swarm with the strongest side; secondly, it can shorten the length of the defense line, so that support can arrive in a more timely and faster manner.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is easy to be completely surrounded, and all the "territory" originally belonging to hell must be given up except the Purgatory Fortress.
Once such a defensive arrangement is made, the demons in the Purgatory Fortress must be prepared to be completely besieged in the city and unable to move at all.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult decision for the demons who have been on the offensive side before.
But Warlord Shank still made this decision without hesitation, because in his opinion, the insect swarm will never lay siege to Purgatory Fortress for a long time. With the terrifying power they currently display, if it is the insect swarm commander
Officer, it will definitely launch an attack immediately and determine victory in one fell swoop.
It has to be said that Warlord Shank is indeed a rare general under the Lord of Destruction. Although he does not know that his master is in an extremely critical situation, this does not prevent him from trying his best to escape from the swarm of insects.
Let go of this remaining fortress.
Purgatory Fortress is the only complete large-scale war fortress in the entire Chaos Purgatory in the second world. It is said that its construction was completed by the King of Fear himself.
This fortress has a large number of small hell portals and various defensive weapons.
These include the Hell Fire Bed Crossbow, Hell Trebuchet, and Lava Falls.
The so-called "Lava Falls" refer to a series of lava vents installed on the tall walls made of hellfire stone in the Purgatory Fortress.
When the enemy begins to attack the city, these lava vents will be connected to the sulfurous lava lakes in Chaos Purgatory along the hell portal, and the hot lava in the magma lake will be sprayed out along the city walls.
This is a very vicious but extremely effective city-defending weapon. It is somewhat like the rolling stones and boiling oil used in human city-defending battles, but its power is much greater than those combined.
And that's not all, there are all kinds of terrifying traps on the city walls and inside the Purgatory Fortress.
There are "magic fire mines" wrapped in hellfire. As long as they are not demonic units, as soon as they walk to these mines hidden underground, they will spray such powerful fire mines into the air to attack the enemy.
There are also "death vents" that spit out the evil flames of hell, and "shadow guards" that look harmless but are actually extremely sinister.
Under normal circumstances, even if the human legions were able to capture the walls of Purgatory Fortress one day, these traps would make them so miserable that they could only choose to retreat.
But regarding the insect swarm, Warlord Shank did not dare to make such a judgment.
It has seen from countless previous battles the insect swarm's attacks like landslides and tsunamis, their endless numbers, and their endless bizarre methods.
Shank has always been skeptical about whether the traps on the city walls can have a miraculous effect on the insect swarm.
So no matter what, even if it's just for its own life, it must do its best to protect the Gate of Hell - don't think it hasn't thought about using the Gate of Hell to escape back, but the Killing Star guarding the gate is
It's absolutely impossible to let it go...
That guy is famous for being a murderous demon. Even in a dark and evil place like Chaos Purgatory, not many demons are willing to get close to him.
Even its owner, the King of Fear Diavolo, doesn't like the extreme character of his right-hand man very much, because it likes killing for almost no reason at all, not to create fear, not to devour souls, and not to
Accumulate strength.
Purely just killing for the sake of killing.
And it doesn't like the demons under the King of Torment and the King of Pain, torturing the opponent for fun before killing it. If it touches you, it will directly and simply give you a knife in the neck or heart.
...
This kind of killing behavior that has no reason to please oneself and is completely purposeless is probably unique to this family in the entire purgatory...
I don’t know what orders this guy got from Diavolo recently, and he suddenly started attacking all targets approaching the gate of hell.
No matter who it is, if they get even a little closer to the gate that it personally guards, they will be ruthlessly killed by it for no reason!
Shank didn't want to die. That guy was a transcendent. Even if all the demons in the Purgatory Fortress were tied together, it wouldn't be enough to kill him.
So in order to survive, it can only defend the Purgatory Fortress.
Fortunately, Purgatory Fortress is strong enough, and its bargaining chips are quite sufficient. As long as it can block one or two waves of insect swarms, there may still be a chance...
Just when Shank was thinking this, a demon goblin responsible for delivering orders suddenly appeared in its command room through a teleportation in a panic, with a very frightened expression on his face.
"Lord Warlord! The enemy is attacking Lord Xuewu and the others!"
The demon elf messenger's panicked shouting made Shank very dissatisfied.
Who on earth found this idiot? The attack will start sooner or later. Does it want to be thrown to the front line for a good "exercise" in such a panic?
"What are you panicking about?! As a member of the elite legion of the King of Destruction, your performance has simply insulted His Majesty's majesty!"
"But... Lord Governor, those huge monsters have appeared again, and there is one among them..." After saying this, the messenger swallowed, and seemed to have eased the fright before stumbling.
Continued: "More...bigger!"
"A huge monster..." Shank was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized what the messenger was referring to.
It has already known about the existence of the Heavy Artillery Governor and the Brood Lord, and has been having a headache on how to deal with these behemoths floating in mid-air.
Shank was not surprised at all that they would appear in the battle to attack Purgatory Fortress, but what did the messenger just say?
