Under the moonlight, the music gradually became inaudible.
Jía slowly opened her purple eyes and took a deep breath, "Isabella, the song is very nice."
Isabella gently put down Quqin from the veil, "The name of the song is" The End of the World ". When a man taught me, he once said that even if the end of the world comes, he will accompany me."
"Really?" The blonde princess smiled coldly, and the coldness in her eyes that was dispelled by the music began to solidify quickly again, "Then you should also know that every time he said sweet things to you, he said the same thing in my arms."
The implication of this sentence was that what you ate was just leftovers. Isabella's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but raise. It seemed that the Princess Royal Highness was not a confused person. On the contrary, she understood much more than I thought.
Ms. Intelligence turned her blue eyes and sighed, "How can I compare with the noble Princess Royal Highness? Princess Royal Highness is the winner whether you win or lose, at least you can get the position of Her Royal Highness. "
"There is only a princess who dies in battle, there is no queen who lives." Jía's purple eyes flashed a trace of determination, but she retorted to her rival in love without backing down, "Speaking of dying … the resurrection of Devil's Snare flower is the real good news for those lascivious men in the capital."
In the tit-for-tat conversation, both women seemed to be in high spirits. There seemed to be an invisible electric spark between the purple and blue eyes.
"It's already so late. If I don't go to bed, I will have dark circles under my eyes. How can I seduce that man?" Isabella yawned and bowed slightly. "Then I'll take my leave first, Your Royal Highness, who is in high spirits."
After that, she ignored Jía and turned to leave.
"Isabella."
Her footsteps wrapped in a cloak stopped.
"The song is very nice."
But Princess Royal Highness added a sentence very stubbornly, "I will let that guy play it for me dozens of times a day."
Behind the veil, the corners of her purple lips curled up slightly. She didn't turn around and walked forward with graceful steps.
The sound of the harp in front of the military tent ended, and the movement of the capital was coming to an end. In the west of the Dark Moon, another nocturne was quietly unfolding.
For a vast territory, it wasn't uncommon to have a "different sky" phenomenon. There was no moonlight over the Xilang Mountain Range at this time, but dense dark clouds.
Flashes of lightning could be faintly seen in the dense clouds, occasionally breaking through the darkness of the night. Drops of rain fell in the cold wind.
Under the leadership of Gerant, the 5,000 troops entered the territory of the Dark Moon under the cover of the night and rain.
This army was the elite troops that Gerant brought from the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion of Tekula Fortress. In addition to outstanding combat power, what was more important was that they completely obeyed Gerant's command. Sergey, the son of the second general, Doren. Rus, was also among them.
Sergey originally held an important position in the Red Devil Legion. He reached Higher Demon at a young age. Because of Athena, he "mistakenly" killed Alan, the son of the finance minister who was jealous of Athena. He was dismissed from his post and sent to Tekula Fortress to become a guard under Gerant. After Sergey came to Tekula Fortress, he started from scratch. After hard training, he had reached the intermediate stage of Higher Demon. This time, he went to the Dark Moon with the team with the determination to make contributions and make a comeback. He hadn't fought before. Now that he finally had a chance to perform, he was naturally in high spirits.
The raindrops were getting heavier. Most of the rain in the Demon Realm was a little acidic. Even if the Demons' bodies were stronger than humans, it was not suitable for them to be in the rain for a long time. However, the heavy rain in front of them had become the best cover for the surprise attack of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion.
"After this hill, the Walan Fortress is in front!" Gerant put away the glowing magic map, and his hand holding the Netherblood Spear tightened, "Warriors of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion, the amazing achievement of defeating the Dark Moon is right in front of us! Give those enemies who are still sleeping a real nightmare! Before dawn, the flag of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion must be planted on the city wall of the Walan Fortress! "
The Walan Fortress was a medium-sized fortress built against a mountain. It stood on the only way to enter the Dark Moon Avenue. In front of it was an open space that narrowed from wide to narrow. The terrain was like a gradually shrinking pocket. This fortress was not built for a long time. Behind the fortress was the similarly newly built Town Walan. Given that the northern part of the Dark Moon was at war, and the enemy was the powerful capital coalition army, many merchants of the Dark Moon City had withdrawn, but they did not completely leave the Dark Moon. Instead, they moved to Town Walan with a wait-and-see attitude. This had accelerated the pace of development and construction of Town Walan. It had become one of the most important hubs for trade in the west.
Crossing the hill, Gerant wiped the rain on his face and looked at the fortress with soft lights in front of him. This time, it was really a blessing from the Demon God. The rainstorm weather not only covered their whereabouts well, but the terrifying magic crystal cannons of the Dark Moon would also be greatly weakened in both accuracy and power.
Gerant pointed the Netherblood Spear, and the 3,500 infantrymen tried their best to conceal their presence and sneak toward the fortress. The cavalry carefully kept a distance and followed behind. Gerant had been vigilant about whether the opponent had set up an ambush. He silently calculated the distance until the army safely passed the effective range of the magic crystal cannons. Only then was he relieved. He ordered the soldiers to speed up and prepare to assault the fortress.
At this moment, Gerant's ears suddenly heard a strange "peep peep peep" sound in the rainstorm. A bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he shouted, "Defense!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. When Gerant reacted, the unknown murderous intention had already penetrated the darkness and landed on the infantrymen of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion. Judging from the screams, at least 300 people were killed.
Immediately afterward, illuminating light balls were thrown out by some kind of spring and scattered. The entire battlefield in front of the fortress was suddenly illuminated. This was a kind of magic item commonly used in night battles. The light source could stay for a period of time.
Gerant's heart tightened. The enemy is actually prepared for battle!
It seems to be some kind of powerful arrow that killed my soldiers just now, but even the most powerful elf archer in the human world can't do it at this distance. The answer was revealed immediately. The second round of firing from the Walan Fortress had begun. This time, Gerant clearly saw the true face of that terrifying weapon.
This was a giant "arrow" like a spear. Whether it was the range, power, or speed, it was extremely amazing. The infantrymen's shields were as fragile as paper in front of this terrifying "arrow". A soldier was pierced through along with his shield and nailed to the ground. Then, the spear suddenly exploded, bursting out countless tiny arrows. The nearby soldiers all screamed in pain, and many of them fell to the ground dead. It seemed that the exploded arrows were poisoned.
What kind of weapon is this! The power is actually so terrifying! Gerant was shocked. Ballista? No, it's definitely not an ordinary ballista!
Due to the complicated loading and slow speed, the ballista has gradually faded out of the battlefield and was replaced by the magic crystal cannon. The weapon that appeared in the Walan Fortress today, which was suspected to be a ballista, exerted far more lethality than imagined. It almost subverted the current Demon Realm's common sense of ordnance!
Gerant's face was already full of water droplets. Not only rain, but also cold sweat: This terrifying ballista has not been used in the previous battle with the capital coalition army! How many trump cards does the Dark Moon have yet to show?
"Infantry, disperse! Cavalry, follow me! "
Although the ballista was powerful, it was not enough to affect Gerant's determination to take down the Walan Fortress. He immediately issued an order. The cavalry quickly rushed towards the fortress, and another round of whistling sounds rang out. The time it took for the heavy crossbows to adjust and fire was quite fast, but this time the casualties were smaller. There were not many direct hits, but the poison arrows that exploded were still shockingly powerful, and many soldiers fell one after another.
The distance between them gradually shortened. Arrows flew out from the fortress and poured down in the heavy rain. From time to time, cavalrymen and horses would fall. Blood mixed with the rain and was trampled on. The cavalrymen pulled their crossbows and shot back, attracting a group of firepower. The infantry behind them followed closely.
Gerant's deputy general, Lakatos, who rushed at the front, ignited a strong blue flame with the long sword in his hand. He chanted a spell loudly, and a whirlwind surged toward the fortress. The rain brought by the whirlwind became extremely cold. Many arrows that were blown askew condensed into ice in the air and fell to the ground one after another.
After a round of whirlwind, the fortress wall was actually frozen with a thick layer of ice. Many defenders also turned into ice sculptures. If it was another world, the ice castle would be more difficult for the attacker, but this was a world with magic. After the storm, a ladder made of ice actually appeared in front of the city wall.
Lakatos was a mutated bloodline dark elf who practiced both martial arts and magic. He was proficient in both water and wind magic. He had the powerful strength of the early stage of the Demon Emperor. The amazing effect in front of him was mainly due to the advantage of the rainstorm weather. The Saber-toothed Tiger's infantry wore special gloves, and the soles of their boots also had auxiliary facilities like nails which were prepared in advance for climbing the fortress.
Unfortunately, before the Saber-toothed Tiger infantry could get close, the ice ladders began to melt rapidly, turning into streams of water that sprayed out. The water seemed to be poisoned, and the soldiers who were splashed by it began to emit green smoke and scream in pain.
Lakatos frowned. This enemy who turned the ice ladders into poison is actually very poor at using magic, but his control of water elements is still above me. With such an enemy, it is probably very difficult to rely on magic to climb the fortress.
The sound of the ballista's spring began to ring again, and the soldiers of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion fell one after another. This radial terrain became narrower the closer to the fortress, which was quite unfavorable for the attacker.
A thought flashed in Gerant's mind. The enemy's defense is extremely strict, and it is extremely targeted as if they are clear about the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion's surprise attack plan, staffing, and strength. Could it be …
Traitor! Someone must have disclosed all the information of the surprise attack to the enemy!
This was a trap that had been set up beforehand! A trap waiting for the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion to plunge into!
Including Gerant himself, only 3 people knew the overall plan. One was Regent Obsidian, and the other …
Gerant couldn't help but shudder. He no longer had the extravagant hope of attacking the Walan Fortress. Now he only wanted to do one thing, which was to escape! Even if I am punished for defeat, I must expose the most terrifying traitor!
"Retreat! Retreat to Town Leia immediately! "
Just as Gerant was retreating with the remaining troops, a group of black figures suddenly appeared and blocked the way. From the light of the illumination light ball, he could see that these enemies were tall and strong. They were wearing chain armor and holding heavy weapons such as axes, hammers, flails, and so on. Their heads were the most peculiar. It was a bull's head.
"Tauren!" Gerant was shocked. There are at least 2,000 taurens, which is equivalent to a large tribe. They definitely don't appear here by chance. Could it be that the Dark Moon also has a tauren legion in addition to the medusas and wyvern legion?
Taurens and medusas are both highly intelligent demonic beasts. They can't be tamed like wyverns. Even in the entire Fallen Angel Empire, there is no such special unit. I didn't expect the Dark Moon to have it!
At this time, the gate of the Walan Fortress opened, and a large group of people rushed out while shouting. They were obviously going to surround the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion from both sides and annihilate them here.
Gerant's heart sank. He knew that he was in a desperate situation. He raised the Netherblood Spear, and his whole body was bathed in flames. He transformed into the battle form of a great demon and shouted, "Break out with full force!"
The cavalries raised their spears and bravely rushed toward the taurens who were blocking the way. The taurens beat their chests and shouted together. There was a strange red halo under their feet, and they walked toward the cavalries with intimidating footsteps.
The cavalries who rushed at the front were about to stab the enemy with their spears. Suddenly, a huge wolf fang hammer appeared above their heads. "Boom", before he could scream, his whole person and his horse were smashed into a pile of rotten meat. A similar scene played out in the next moment. The combat power of these taurens was surprisingly powerful, and their equipment was unbelievably sophisticated. The cavalries' spears with the help of horsepower couldn't penetrate the silver chain armor on the taurens.
"Laktos! Try to break through! I'll hold the enemy behind! "Gerant shouted, shook the reins, and rushed toward the rear with the cavalries.
"Understood!" Laktos jumped up from the mount and floated in the air. He pointed the long sword in his hand at the rainstorm sky. Several lightning bolts suddenly fell from the sky, and they were attracted to the sword by a strange force. Laktos raised the long sword wrapped in lightning, flew toward the taurens, and slashed down in the air.
All the taurens within a range of about 20 meters only saw the blue electric light flashing. They were knocked away by the high-voltage current before they could resist. The chain armor with super defensive power became an excellent conductor in front of the lightning. The taurens who were knocked away by the lightning fell to the ground. They trembled all over and lost their combat power. This was still because the taurens had anti-magic physique. If it were ordinary Demons, they would have turned into charcoal.
Laktos landed on the ground after a successful blow. As he was about to cast magic again, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He turned around and blocked with his sword. Sparks splashed, and he staggered back a few steps. Behind him was a tauren who was taller than ordinary taurens. He was holding a big axe and a huge shield in his hand. Judging from his breath, he seemed to be the mutated leader of the early stage of the Demon Emperor.
