On the top of the Chaos Fortress, the demons had just launched a sudden small-scale raid. With the cooperation of more than a thousand hell magic bats and more than a hundred stone-throwing demons, a group of demon barbarians used more than a dozen hell siege beasts to attack the city.
The city wall launched a tentative attack.
No one knows whether this raid was ordered by Mephisto, or whether it was just another feint attack by the demon commanders to test the fortress defenses.
After all, similar sudden attacks are not uncommon in the past few days. From time to time, a group or several flying demons such as hell magic bats will fly out of the black fog on the opposite side and suddenly attack the guards on the city wall or the sentries on the watch tower.
But on a scale like this...this is the first time.
"Be careful! The boulder is coming!"
Boom!!
Amidst the loud roars of the battlefield commander, bursts of roaring sounds like the earth was shattering continued to sound on the top of the city.
Hundreds of black boulders, taller than a man, cut through the air and hit the city walls or city tops with a shrill whine.
The demons that throw these boulders are giant monsters called "stone-throwing demons". They are usually more than eight meters tall and have an appearance similar to that of an orangutan. Their bodies are covered with knotted muscles and their skin is covered with a layer of dark red.
of rocky crust.
This kind of demon is also very proficient in melee combat, but they prefer to throw huge rocks from a distance to crush their opponents. The huge one eye on their foreheads allows them to clearly see the distance even in thick fog.
goals.
Stone-throwing demons were originally an elite demon in the demon army under the command of Duriel, the King of Pain. They are not many in number, but each one is a big trouble on the battlefield.
Now, the forces of the King of Pain have been integrated by Mephisto, the new source of all evil, and these stone-throwing demons have naturally joined the new master's army and become a powerful siege force in the demon army.
Although the boulders thrown by the Stone Throwing Devil cannot shake the dozens of meters thick walls of the Chaos Fortress, they can pose a fatal threat to the defenders on the city top.
The stones thrown by these demons are too big, and they are also equipped with the arrogant power of the stone-throwing demons. It is generally difficult for professionals below level 85 to receive such huge stones head-on.
And in addition to the boulders thrown by the Stone Throwing Demon, the magic bats in the sky are also a huge threat. Like the Winged Demon, these guys can also spit out hellfire balls from their mouths, and they are more difficult to deal with than the Winged Demon, because the Winged Demon
Its size is relatively large, making it a good target for some Amazons with good shooting skills.
However, the hell mephits are smaller and fly faster. Even the Amazons who have practiced archery can only hit them using the guided arrow skill.
But the problem is that many Amazons don’t invest many skill points in guiding arrows. This means that even if the guiding arrows hit the target, the damage caused is limited, and there is no way to efficiently kill these big guns that are swinging around the city.
Knock the bat down.
The professional commanders on the city can only let some summoning druids use crows to help the Amazons deal with those hell bats, which increases the mana consumption of the druids.
The pincer attack between the stone-throwing demons and the hell magic bats lasted for a long time. It was not until a group of legendary professional legion commanders and extraordinary beings started to take action that these demons restrained themselves somewhat.
But at this moment, the hell siege beasts came to the city with a large number of demon soldiers. Among these demon legion soldiers were both fragile fallen demons and powerful fighting demons.
After being transported onto the city wall by the hell siege beasts, these demons immediately began to attack the defenders on the city wall. The professionals responsible for guarding the city wall calmly responded to the challenge and quickly killed the first wave of small numbers of demons who climbed onto the city wall.
Got it clean.
However, those hell siege beasts soon sent a second wave of demons to the city. This time, elite monsters and champion monsters began to appear among the demons that attacked the city!
The casualties of the human professional defenders inevitably began to increase, but the mixed angel army in the fortress was kept in Sgoll's hands and refused to be released.
Sgor has been calmly observing the situation on the battlefield. He found that so far, although the offensive from the hell side seems to be fierce, not even a dark gold leader-level demon has appeared on the battlefield.
There was no movement at all, and it didn't look like they wanted to launch a general attack on them now.
This is probably another feint attack. The demon commander's intention is to use limited troops in exchange for more city defense information in the fortress.
The mixed angel army gathered from all over the world is the last trump card in his hand, and he will never play it out easily until the last moment.
But we can't just let these demons do their evil.
Sgor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black mist outside the city, with a sneer on his lips.
Since you sent someone to investigate, I will accept it without any hesitation!
He turned his head and winked at the adjutant behind him. The adjutant immediately understood, turned around and quickly ran towards the rear to a low stone house built on the city wall.
Not long after the adjutant ran into the stone house, the entire east wall of the Chaos Fortress suddenly flashed with large swaths of blue electric light!
Those hell siege beasts that climbed up the city wall were instantly reduced to charcoal by countless lightnings, and fell from the top of the city covered in smoke.
At the same time, blue electric balls also lit up on the top of the sentry tower on the edge of the city wall. These electric balls shot out dazzling electric lights towards the hell magic bats in the sky. The hell magic bats in the sky were suddenly struck by lightning.
Pieces upon pieces were burned into charcoal, and the corpses fell down like rain.
As the most powerful strategic fortress in the center of the eternal battlefield, the Chaos Fortress's internal defense system is absolutely no worse than any fortress on either side of Hell or Heaven.
This kind of lightning defense network is only the most basic component of the fortress defense system, but its power is enough to make ordinary legendary powerhouses shy away.
After Sgor activated the defense system of the fortress, the pressure on the professional guards on the city was greatly reduced. The offensive momentum of the demon troops was also dampened. Those demons who finally climbed to the city quickly
Due to lack of assistance, they were quickly killed by the professionals.
Seeing that the Chaos Fortress had activated its defense system, the commander of the demon side obviously realized that this trial attack should end here.
Without a large number of dark gold demons participating in the attack, it would be a fool's errand to break through the walls of the Chaos Fortress with this kind of exploratory attack.
So the demons quickly began to retreat. The hell magic bats in the sky regrouped and turned around and hid in the black mist. The hell siege beasts no longer continued to transport troops to the city. Only the stone-throwing demons continued to attack.
Huge stones were thrown on top of the city as a form of harassment.
After relying on the defense system of the Chaos Fortress to repel the demons' tentative attack, everyone on the city was temporarily relieved.
Several extraordinary beings and a group of legendary commanders were summoned by Sgor and began to try to analyze the demons' intentions in this tentative attack.
