Dark Moon Estate border.
Moonlight Fortress.
The capital coalition army looked at this fortress that had existed since the era of the Lord of Midnight Sun from a distance. What is the concept of a million troops? Standing on the fortress and looking into the distance, what came into view was a dense black phalanx that covered the mountains and plains. There was almost no end to it.
Even though the Moonlight Fortress' garrison was well-trained and their number had greatly increased, facing the enemy that was dozens of times their own, they couldn't help but feel numb.
If the enemy was allowed to crush them with all their strength, perhaps the Dark Moon Army would not even be left.
The enemy had not attacked yet, but almost every Dark Moon garrison had a heavy heart. Their palms were sweating like a bow that was getting tighter and tighter under huge pressure. It was in danger of collapsing at any time.
Of course, there were also individual exceptions, such as a flat-chested lady in black standing on the highest observation platform.
"A lot of money!"
The girl looked at the endless enemies and thought of the price that the employer had promised to eliminate the enemies. It was as if she saw countless black crystal coins all over the ground. Her eyes were glowing green.
"If I fly over and launch a few [Black Dragon Cannons] at the crowd, will I make a lot of money?"
"No, Olypheus, this kind of battlefield is not trivial. Don't underestimate the power of the real elite army." The one who spoke was the chief commander this time, Athena, "If you really want to do this, then even if you earn a little money, you won't have the life to enjoy it."
"There is actually such a thing?" Olypheus was taken aback, "I can't even deal with these ordinary people?"
"Not exactly." A cold voice sounded. It was Loki. He was once Broc's most powerful subordinate and the deputy legion leader of the Shadow Empire's Jergal Fortress. Loki was very experienced in fortress defense, so he became the advisor of this defense. Athena was taught by her father, General George. She was originally a master of defense and preparation. With Loki's assistance, this time it was considered the strongest command lineup of the Dark Moon.
"It's fine if it's an ordinary territory's army, but most of the Empire's elite armies have a way to deal with experts, which is to activate special magic tattoos and expend their life potential to cast some kind of special combined magic array. This kind of magic circle can restrain and delay high-level powerhouses. The more people, the greater the power. Once Madam Olypheus is restrained, and a Demon Overlord with the same strength as madam attacks from the side, then madam is likely to be in danger. "
Nesta added, "This method is not omnipotent. There are also great restrictions. For example, the last time the Magic Shadow Legion was ambushed and the Nether Hydra Legion was attacked by fire, they were still annihilated. In fact, this is an imitation of the battle tactics of the Surface World. The combat power of humans in the Surface World is generally lower than us Demons, and the same is true for the high-level powerhouses. However, their battle formations are very mysterious and much stronger than those in the Demon World. Sometimes, they can even exert several times more offensive and defensive power. Every time we fight with humans, we suffer a lot in this aspect. Later, the Demon Realm also began to study this kind of formation, such as the Magic Shadow Charge of my Magic Shadow Legion. Although the Demon Realm is also slightly successful in this aspect, it is still far inferior to the level of the human world. Only some truly elite legions have the ability to compete with the powerhouses. "
"The powerhouses in the capital coalition army are also unwilling to advance rashly. They are also afraid of being restrained and attacked. For example, if the enemy has a peak stage of the Demon Overlord, even if Paglio is not here, as long as this Demon Overlord is restrained by the magic circle or our army, even Olypheus can severely injure or even kill the opponent." Athena actually didn't say one more sentence. The high-level powerhouses were rare "resources", and they would never be easily used as cannon fodder. The more critical the chess piece, the more it should be used at the critical moment.
Olypheus nodded without understanding, but the people next to her understood that this scale and level of war was no longer something that 1 or 2 powerhouses could easily kill the enemies and dominate the entire battle situation.
Of course, the powerhouses were still the powerhouses. If they were dispatched at the most suitable opportunity, they could still play a huge role and even reverse the battle situation. This was undeniable.
Since the terrain in front of the Moonlight Fortress was not completely flat, the capital army was not in a hurry to attack. They were still further adjusting the formation to facilitate a large-scale attack.
Having more people was an advantage, but on the other hand, it was also more difficult to command, especially the armies of the lords. The front army commander, Gerant, quickly commanded through the messenger,
"Right wing formation, move faster!"
"Front army ordnance brigade, measure the distance immediately and prepare to set up the magic crystal cannon!"
"Goblin legion, assemble and inspect the catapult!"
"…"
Just as the coalition army began to set up the magic crystal cannon, several clusters of red light suddenly ejected from the Moonlight Fortress wall, then the ground began to tremble violently. Boom boom boom!
Some of the catapults and magic crystal cannons in the front row that had not been completely set up were torn apart under the impact of this terrifying power. Not only that, there were several huge holes in the front army's phalanx in an instant. At least 2,000 people were killed in this round of bombardment.
The Dark Moon's magic crystal cannon!
Gerant was taken aback. The range is so far! The power is so fierce! What kind of magic crystal cannon is this!
The magic crystal cannon brought by the capital is already the most advanced in the current Demon Realm. It has also been improved by the mechanic master. The purpose of setting it up in this position is to take advantage of the range advantage to launch an initial bombardment on the Moonlight Fortress. I didn't expect this advantage to become a disadvantage in the face of the Dark Moon's magic crystal cannon. Where did the Dark Moon get such a terrifying weapon!
The phalanx that was hit was stunned by this round of magic crystal cannon bombardment. After they reacted, they were in a mess.
"Front army, retreat 100 meters immediately! Maintain the formation! Don't panic! " Gerant shouted loudly, and the messenger began to beat the drum to command. It was just that many of the front army were the lords' armies, which were far less well-trained than the capital legion. Especially when the second round of magic crystal cannon bombardment of the Moonlight Fortress began, they only knew to retreat desperately. The army at the back could not retreat in time, and they were squeezed and trampled on each other. If it weren't for Gerant's prompt decision to order the law enforcement team to kill some of the chaotic soldiers, the front army's phalanx would almost collapse.
In contrast, the capital's direct legion was much calmer. They maintained the formation and finally retreated to a safe position.
The second round of magic crystal cannon bombardment raised the depressed morale of the Dark Moon again. There were sounds of excitement coming from the Moonlight Fortress.
"Now you know the power of the Dark Moon!"
"Look at the silly look of these capital's grandsons!"
"General is right. They are just a bunch of mobs. What's the use of having more people!"
"…"
Seeing that the soldiers were reinvigorated, Athena and the generals were slightly relieved, but they did not dare to relax at all. The magic crystal cannon was not omnipotent. Its range was relatively fixed, especially it could not attack enemies at close range. Although this improved magic crystal cannon was powerful, its cooldown time was longer, which meant that it could not launch effective attacks continuously.
In the middle army tent on the hillside, Obsidian frowned when he saw this scene from a distance. The power of the Dark Moon's magic crystal cannon was unexpected, but most of these lost troops were the lords' coalition army. They were originally used as cannon fodder in the plan.
After finally rearranging the formation, Gerant knew that his side's morale was dampened. It was obviously impossible to use the strategy of using the magic crystal cannon to give the opponent a head-on blow. However, the whole battle had only just begun.
Gerant condensed his power and shouted, "Do you see the small fortress opposite? Do you see those weak walls? The Dark Moon's rebels are cowering and shivering behind! They can only cower because in the face of our absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a helpless trick. We only need to step on it once, and we can raze this fortress to the ground! Soldiers of the coalition army, tell me, tell the Royal Highness Regent who is watching us from behind, can you flatten this small fortress? "
"Yes! Yes! Yes! " The morale of the front army that had just been frustrated became high again under the encouragement of Gerant. They all stepped on the ground with their feet and hit the shield with their weapons. The momentum resounded throughout the battlefield. It was very amazing. Obsidian showed an admiring expression and nodded slightly.
This momentum brought a lot of shock to the defenders of the Moonlight Fortress, but soon, a louder and more … strange sound sounded in the Moonlight Fortress – the barking of the hellhound.
A dog barking?
The soldiers on both sides were stunned at the same time. What is this?
Listening carefully, this kind of barking is a bit vague. It seems to be mixed with voices. Everyone can hear that it is actually Gerant's morale-boosting words just now. The rhythm and tone are simply lifelike.
"A dog that can bite doesn't bark. Warriors of the Dark Moon, will we be afraid of these dogs that can only bark?" After the dog barked, a man's voice roared.
"Not afraid!" Amidst the laughter, a more orderly voice came from the Moonlight Fortress.
A smile appeared on Athena's face. Lomont is really skilled. His jesting and nonsense actually offset the enemy's momentum.
Gerant was furious in his heart, but his face remained cold. He gave the order to attack, "The first army formation and the second army formation change into columns and attack! Keep the distance. Don't be afraid of the opponent's magic crystal cannon. As long as you rush out of the range, the magic crystal cannon will be useless! Only by moving forward will there be a way to survive! There is credit! There is reward! There is only a dead end if you retreat! Law enforcement team, attention. Those who retreat after the battle will be beheaded! "
The establishment of the first army formation and the second army formation were all lords' armies. Several lords knew that they were cannon fodder, but they were helpless. Gerant ordered that those who were afraid to fight would be beheaded. Moreover, Regent Obsidian was watching from behind, so they could only grit their teeth and lead the army to charge forward.
The soldiers did not feel particularly afraid. Whether it was humans or Demons, when they were integrated into a huge team, they were easily infected by the atmosphere. Especially under the encouragement of incitement, they would have a feeling of invincibility. This was the morale.
"Kill!" The 2 phalanxes scattered into several columns. In the surging dust, they shouted and rushed toward the Moonlight Fortress.
"It has begun." As Obsidian said, there was a bit of eagerness in his seemingly calm eyes. As long as the Dark Moon was destroyed in one fell swoop, not only could he remove the biggest future trouble, but he could also solve the previous dilemma.
"It has finally begun." In the palace of the Dark Moon City, Jía also said while quietly watching the crystal ball.
"No. 1 magic crystal cannon team 1, launch!"
"No. 1 magic crystal cannon team 2, launch!"
Under Athena's order, several light balls were shot out in batches and landed on the battlefield. Countless exaggerated pits appeared. The soldiers within the range of the light balls were instantly blown into powder. There were also many people with broken limbs nearby. It was a tragic sight. However, the rest of the people were still fiercely advancing in the battle cries. Due to the scattered formation, the loss was much lower than before.
The stronger the magic crystal cannon, the longer the cooldown time. Gerant calculated the cooldown time of the magic crystal cannon of the Moonlight Fortress from the previous 2 launches. Now that the opponent's magic crystal cannon had just been launched, it was definitely unusable. It was just the right opportunity to send a stronger army.
"Magician legion, buff with speed magic! The third army formation and the Demon Equip Legion, launch! "
The combat power of this wave was stronger than the first wave. Especially the Demon Equip Legion was equipped with siege ladders and large shields which could effectively resist the enemy's arrows. Coupled with the speed magic to make up for the weakness of poor mobility, it would be a powerful weapon in close combat and siege warfare.
Just as the third army formation and the Demon Equip Legion advanced quickly, several white lights were ejected from the parapet wall of the Moonlight Fortress. If the previous red flame magic crystal cannon was a parabolic shot, then the white light beam in front of them was a straight line. It was like a destructive giant sword that cut straight into the enemy's formation. It was actually moving slowly. The enemy along the way had no time to resist or evade, so they were disintegrated into particles and dissipated. The second round of army formation cleared out a few fan-shaped lines.
"Damn it!" Gerant didn't expect the Dark Moon to have another kind of magic crystal cannon, and it was also very terrifying. He originally thought that the Dark Moon would definitely resist stubbornly in this battle, but he didn't expect this bone to be harder to gnaw than he imagined. Before touching the Moonlight Fortress, his side had already suffered a lot. In any case, it was already a situation where there was no retreat. There could not be any hesitation.
Although the magic crystal cannon eliminated a lot of soldiers, as Gerant expected, once they crossed the firing range, they could not play a role. The coalition army that had rushed past the death line rushed toward the fortress aggressively.
Although the magic traps and magic circles along the way played a role, they were instantly filled by the human wave tactic.
Loki calmly watched the enemy that was gradually approaching, and he secretly calculated the distance. He pointed the long sword in his hand, and the messenger immediately sent a signal. Behind the city wall in a row, several rows of archers drew their bows and began to shoot arrows into the air in turn. [Throw Shot]!
These archers were equipped with the thumb ring "invented" by Chen Rui. The shooting speed was very fast. The sky full of arrows splashed down from above the fortress. Under this indiscriminate attack, the capital coalition army at the forefront fell to the ground one after another.
On the parapet of the fortress, graceful female figures holding bows and carrying huge quivers appeared one after another. The "graceful" here referred to their upper bodies, and their lower bodies could only be described as "wriggling" — Medusa Warriors!
This group of 1000 medusas were originally members of the Moon Shadow Legion, but they were transferred over this time. Loki shouted, and the medusas in light armor pulled their bows in unison, aimed at the target, and fired. Medusa's archery was one of the best in the entire Demon Realm. Especially after being strengthened by the devil fruit, each arrow could almost take a life.
However, the number of coalition army was extremely large. Many people had approached the city wall under the rain of arrows, especially the Demon Equip Legion. With the cover of big shields and heavy armor, they blocked a lot of arrows. Siege ladders were set up, and they were about to reach the city wall.
Suddenly, countless giant green vines with thorns emerged from the ground. The terrifying plants intertwined, grew and spread rapidly like giant snakes, entangling the approaching siege ladders and enemies.
The vines were powerful and seemed to have some kind of special attribute. Even if the enemies entangled didn't shatter like the siege ladders, they would soon lose resistance and be strangled.
What made the coalition army even more shocked was that the cut off parts of this terrifying plant could actually regenerate as if it was endless.
Guardian Vine – Large protective plant. Attribute: Regeneration, Stun, Bind. Germination begins 10 seconds after sowing. Maturity period: 24 hours. It can grow in soil of any quality. Automatically attacks hostile creatures. The degree of hostile attack can be adjusted.
