"Buzz!" Feeling the approach of the skeleton army, a layer of faint red light and an almost transparent barrier formed instantly, covering the entire city.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the flame demon barrier, the Skeleton Demon Skeleton did not react at all. The huge flood-like army temporarily stopped hundreds of meters away from the Medin city wall and beyond the range of the bow and arrow. In the golden face armor
The faintly swaying flame stared ahead coldly and listlessly.
The army that followed naturally surrounded the city wall and spread out on both sides of the gilded skeleton that stopped. They waved their weapons and cleared away all kinds of trees and gravel on the plain, surrounding the entire city from a distance.
Dingcheng.
Of course, it is basically impossible for a hundred thousand troops to completely surround the entire city of Meding and still maintain a considerable offensive strength on every city wall, so they only surrounded a part of it.
If someone with a little knowledge of command was allowed to take over, they would probably divide into four or five teams and attack all sides at the same time. However, the gilded skeletons did not have such a high IQ. The continuous army simply surrounded two and a half walls of the city and then stopped.
Come down.
The tireless army of skeletons, after all the bones arrived at the corresponding positions, without any thought of declaration or negotiation, simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the city wall in front of them.
Thousands of arrows were shot at the city guards on every city wall at the same time. However, when the golden energy arrows encountered the almost transparent flame barrier, a red red ball instantly burned on the barrier.
The flames were in a stalemate with the golden arrows.
The rain of arrows from the sky struck, triggering the instinctive defense of the barrier, causing the sky above Maiding City to instantly turn into a rain of fire. The residents living in the city looked at it from a distance, feeling faintly frightened.
The city of Maiding has been stable for too long, and it is natural for many people to feel uneasy and frightened when they see the barrier open for the first time.
The Balrog Barrier is one of the standard features of every large city where the Balrog Church is located, and can defend against most attacks caused by extraordinary psychic powers.
If there are enough ascetics supporting the barrier, the enemy can be directly blocked from entering. Unfortunately, only the capital city of the entire Andri state can do such a large number of ascetics, and the enemy's damage cannot be too high.
However, with this barrier in place, there is no need to worry that these monsters can break through the city gate, and these humanoid monsters do not have ladders and other siege equipment.
Defending the city should be...not a big problem, right?
However, when the skeletal demon skeleton arrived at the city, the golden spirit armor on its body once again evolved into a flowing golden liquid, forming sharp insect-like joints that pierced hard into the barrier covering the surface of the city wall!
What's even more terrifying is that the latter golden skeleton climbed directly onto the shoulders of the previous skeleton, and also manifested sharp limbs, stabbing hard at the city wall barrier.
The crimson flame burned feebly on the gilt spirit armor, and the flowing gold liquid did not even produce a trace of scorch.
"Bang bang bang!"
The stream of arrows that never stopped in the air, the high wall of bones that kept piling up on the city wall, the city of Maidin, which had not been attacked for nearly a hundred years, and the first time the flame demon barrier was opened, it suffered an extremely terrifying test.
In the apse of the Flame Demon Church in Maiding City, in the huge flame array, ascetic monks are sitting in it, burning powerful spiritual energy, trying to resist the huge pressure of the feedback from the barrier.
"Poof!" Another ascetic monk vomited blood and fell unconscious. The flame armor on his body disappeared instantly. The monks from the blessing station who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the magic circle and took him out for treatment.
Then another ascetic took his place, sat down and continued to maintain the formation! In just ten minutes, more than a dozen ascetics had been replaced...
"No, we can't bear it!" The leader of the ascetic monks communicated with the red archbishop with a solemn expression, mentally transmitting, "Your Majesty, we can only bear it for three minutes at most."
"In three minutes, we will let go of the barrier's ability to block monsters, and only retain the ability to block long-range energy arrows!"
On the city wall, the red archbishop received the message from the ascetic monk and quickly responded: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."
After all, Mai Ding was not Andri, and he never thought that he could stop an army of 100,000 people with the help of a barrier.
During this thirteen-minute blockage, the guards on the city wall were covered with spiritual armor. They took on larger or smaller sizes according to their individual strength, and transformed the red-gold metal balls into psychic bows and arrows, which were fired crazily towards the city wall.
Divine weapons, that is, spiritual weapons, can only be made by gods, but the major churches have produced a lot of inferior versions of spiritual weapons for soldiers to arm.
Using this kind of equipment consumes much less spiritual energy than directly using spiritual armor to condense weapons, and the damage is also higher.
At the same time, only mid-level professionals who have awakened to level 4 or above and use psychic weapons can cause effective damage to the skeleton demon skeleton.
The only embarrassing thing is that the production of these psychic weapons has not been able to keep up.
In addition, the expedition of 70,000 skitarii has taken away a considerable amount of spiritual armor, and there are only about 2,000 pieces of spiritual armor assigned to the city guards.
Flame arrows were quickly formed from the psychic weapons and shot at the golden skeletons building up the long ladder. The powerful ones among them could easily penetrate several, or dozens of white skeletons.
The initial battle in the first few minutes was a bit hectic, the arrows never hit the vital points, and the Skeleton Demon Skeleton suffered no casualties at all.
Fortunately, the red archbishop came to the front line of the battlefield and quickly discovered the anomaly and ordered the soldiers to aim at the skull of the Skeleton Demon and shoot.
On the first day of the battle, they immediately fell into a fierce battle. Although the effect of psychic weapons was remarkable, facing the densely packed demon skeletons, even the well-trained city guards who dedicated themselves to the Balrog could not help but feel a little desperate.
The golden torrent with no end in sight, the mysterious monster that would not have any morale fluctuations no matter how many casualties there were, the red archbishop estimated that the thirteen-minute battle only killed less than 7,000 skeleton demons on the opposite side.
skeleton.
However, there were only seven thousand missing, and in the golden torrent, no difference could be seen at all.
The red archbishop looked solemnly at the golden skeletons that were almost halfway up the city wall. He felt the changes in the barrier. The sharp golden limbs penetrated into the rock wall without any hindrance. Each golden skeleton was like a spider.
Quickly climb out towards the wall.
"All holders of psychic weapons, transform their weapons into full-body armor, stand at the city wall, and be sure to stop these golden monsters!"
"Never allow them to harm the people of the great Fire Lord!"
The red-clothed archbishop floated in mid-air, communicating with the Flame Demon Holy See far away in Sauron's capital, and streaks of crimson energy swayed out and penetrated into every soldier's body.
"Divinity: Balrog's Protection!"
Almost every one of the city guard soldiers has grown in size by one size, and their faces under the visors are extremely fanatical:
