Chapter 5 Fighting in the rain

15days ago Xuanhuan Novels 6
The pouring rain is slightly restrained

Sant looked into the distance and could see the flexible figures of the silver armored warriors who were driving griffins and visiting the enemy situation.

And those ghosts gradually became clear. Although they still couldn't see the true face of the enemy, the reflection of the weapon had already entered their eyes.

The silver-armored griffon warriors fly specifically at an altitude of about 500 meters. At this altitude, they are already outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

They have no intention of fighting with each other. The main purpose is to reconnaise the enemy situation, see the enemy's situation clearly and report it back

Woo Á!

The terrifying roar sounded rapidly, and the sudden change occurred

Six huge dragon-shaped creatures flew up from the ghost formation, and two groups of silver-armored griffon warriors rushed straight into the sky.

God, this is the bone dragon Ah from the Ghost Realm! The Lord of Sant Fortress, who saw these creatures, changed his face and thought to himself: How could the monster whose combat power in the Ghost Realm, the second most powerful force in the Ghost Realm is here? Could it be that these enemies in front of him are actually the undead army of ghost realm that came through the barrier?

The demon dragon in the ghost realm, including the ghost dragon and the bone dragon, is quite different from the flying dragons in the other world (such as the black dragon, the golden dragon, etc.).

First of all, the size of the demon dragon is much larger, especially the ghost dragon. The body weight is more than three times that of the black dragon in another world, and its wingspan is four to five times that of the black dragon in another world.

The body weight of the bone dragon is about half that of the ghost dragon. The dragon body is longer than the black dragon, but the bone dragon, which is purely composed of skeleton bones, looks far less powerful than the black dragon.

Although the demon dragon is relatively large, its combat power is not proportional to its size.

The ghost dragon is extremely rare and has a strong combat power. He is unwilling to be easily driven by humans. One ghost dragon can almost compete with the siege of two black dragons in another world.

The Bone Dragon is known as the second most powerful creature in the Ghost Realm, but its combat power is much inferior. Two Bone Dragons may not necessarily defeat a black dragon. However, the best-grade Black Dragon and Golden Dragon such as Carbon and Xiaojin are definitely more than enough to deal with three Bone Dragons.

Green eyes and jagged fangs. At this time, the bone dragon stretched out with a wingspan of seven or eight feet, and launched a fierce attack on the silver-armored griffin warrior in the sky.

Waving sharp teeth and claws, spitting green poisonous smoke in your mouth, and you can spray corrosive poisonous saliva at close range

The attack tricks of the bone dragon are not complicated, but they are very effective

If a griffin is caught by sharp claws or is poisoned with poisonous smoke, and the poisonous saliva is sprayed directly, it will basically lose its combat power.

Although it is not immediately planted from the sky, it is still necessary to withdraw from the battlefield immediately and fly back to the castle for treatment

Although there are nearly thirty griffins in each group and there are soldiers on the griffins, the griffins' natural fear of the demon dragon makes them almost afraid to take the initiative to attack the bone dragon, which also makes it difficult for the silver-armored griffins warriors to exert their attack power

Moreover, the bone dragon has no muscles and skin, only bones with hardness better than metal. The attacks of soldiers' swords are difficult to work. They must be infused with weapons and cut key parts such as bone junctions to cause damage to the bone dragon.

Not long after, in three directions, each group was injured and quit the battle, but the six bone dragons suffered no losses, only one of which was discounted on the left wing, but still refused to withdraw from the battle.

The leader of the silver-armored griffon warrior knew that it would be useless to fight again, so he had to order all to retreat to the fort

The silver-armored griffon warriors retreated to the castle, but the six bone dragons did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but instead let out a cheerful roar and disappeared back into the ghost army formation.

At this moment, on the walls of Mingtuo Griffon Castle, the Lord Sant Fortress, who witnessed everything in the sky, and the Military Advisor Kema who had just issued the ultimate mobilization order, were listening to the situation report of the retreating silver-armored griffon warrior leader.

The total number of enemies is about 70,000, mainly infantry soldiers. The one behind the temple is cavalry, and the total number of cavalry should not exceed 10,000. The cavalry is wearing obvious flags of the Dark Empire. If the subordinates are not bad as expected, they should be affiliated with the Dark Knights of the Great Demon King Diapolo.

Because the griffin failed to fly low, it was impossible to tell whether the infantry contained other types of troops. Only the enemy infantry could see all the faces of the helmets, showing a terrifying green light.

Strangely, the infantry flags are crossed swords with skulls, with a black background and a white pattern. This pattern has never been seen by the subordinates, and is definitely not the devil army of the Dark Empire.

Since the cavalry belongs to the Dark Knights, how could it not be the infantry of the Devil Legion? Military Advisor Kema showed an incredible expression on his face, raised his eyebrows, and asked: So, could it be the blood-colored skeleton troops we had heard of before?

It should not be the main picture of the flag of the Blood-colored Skull Force. Although it is also a skull, there are two white human femurs crossed below, not swords. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Blood-colored Skull Flag is blood-red bottom, otherwise it would not be named because of it. The leader of the Silver Armored Griffon Warrior replied affirmatively.

Perhaps it is unknown that the Devil Legion changed its flag. Sant said with a serious expression: Even if it is not the Devil Legion, the number of opponents has an absolute advantage, and there is actually a magic dragon helping us, which makes our griffin warriors lose their air superiority. How can we fight this battle?

Military Master Kema said: Fortress Lord, at this point, we can only do our best to issue the ultimate mobilization order for our subordinates to obey the order, and we used the flying falcon to send emergency letters to all nearby friendly cities and Bemon Valley. We hope that we can persist until there are rescuers to help.

God will definitely help us

Looking at the rows of archers standing like tall pine trees on the top of his city, Sant said in a firm voice

The walls of Mingtuo Griffon Castle are as high as twenty meters, and they can make six horses step by side.

Only tall people can look out for defense. The wall is full of arrow holes that allow archers to aim at the enemy.

The rumbling drums became clearer and clearer, and the enemy had gradually approached the moat of Mingtuo Griffon Castle

The military advisor Kema was unwilling to waste limited arrows and ordered all archers to wait until the enemy fully entered the range before firing.

At the same time, the military advisor Kema ordered all griffon soldiers to be ready to attack at any time

Although the rain has been slightly converging, the sky is still as dark as night

Suddenly, a dazzling light blew through the clouds, and the lightning fangs pierced on the hills in the distance. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city saw the nightmare scene below!

The ground was filled with black ghost shadows, some were short and fat, some were tall and strong, wearing helmets covering their faces, black armor, holding spears with cold light and shields that were as tall as their chests.

Crazy shouting, hundreds of enemies rush across the moat, causing the black wave to splash at the foot of the city wall

The silver snake danced around, the dull rumbling roared, it was hard to tell whether it was thunder or drum sound.

When thousands of enemies crossed the moat and began to rush towards the city gate, the defenders' response finally appeared

As the horn sounded, thousands of sharp arrows let out a sharp roar of death, shooting head-on towards the towers under the city walls.

After a round of bows and arrows, it is a more lethal wooden rolling stone

In an instant, the city wall was covered with the bodies of invading enemies.

The fallen companions failed to shock the enemy, but instead aroused their ferocity.

Howling, the dark ghostly soldiers still rushed under the city wall one after another

Although it was strangely not a siege ladder, when the strange trumpet sounded sarcastically in the sound of war drums, a group of particularly tall ghost soldiers rushed out from the enemy troops attacking the main gate (the south gate guarded by Sant himself).

They held up giant shields to block the attacks from above, and in the middle were the trunks of two big trees used as city hammers. Behind them were a large group of archers in uniform and spear-holding infantry. They were not conspicuous at the beginning and did not shoot with the fortress guards from a distance, but suddenly appeared and used powerful arrows at close range to cover the soldiers who hit the city gate.

Someone fell down, and someone immediately added in. At the cost of nearly a hundred lives, the group of soldiers finally rushed to the city gate. Under the waving of countless pairs of strong arms, a huge city-breaking hammer hit the city gate hard.

The shocking loud noise caused by the impact of the city gate made every defender in the fort feel frightened

If the city gate is knocked open, the defending troops will definitely not be able to withstand the surging enemy, and the city will be broken.

Sant personally commanded the archers to suppress the opponent's archers with all their strength, while transferring all the powerful sergeants to the city gate. The arrows were difficult to break through the shield, so they could only use huge rocks and rolling wood to smash them.

A crazy round of rolling wood and rocks fell down, and even if the enemy's city-hitting soldiers were protected by shields, they would declare failure.

Because the shield could not withstand the continuous impact of dozens of hits and even hundreds of kilograms of huge rocks falling from high altitude. Many soldiers were smashed into meat cakes by people and shields.

The archers who commanded moderate command not only allowed the archers in three rows of Griffin Fort to shoot in turn without worrying about the enemy getting breather in the gap between changing arrows, but also reduced the intensity of the archers' combat and improved the shooting accuracy

Therefore, the enemy's archers with more than a thousand archers were suppressed so that they could hardly raise their heads.

The rain stopped, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the sky gradually became brighter

After the sudden enemy soldiers suffered a head-on injury, they temporarily retreated and rearranged the formation of the enemy who was about to leave the city, preparing to launch the next round of attacks.

Sant immediately inspected his own casualties. Fortunately, there were very few casualties. There were about 70 to 80 archers who were shot by the opponent's arrow, and more than 200 others were injured, but the enemy threw hundreds of corpses.

However, the consumption of the wooden rocks is much unexpected. With the current reserves, can it withstand the impact of the enemy's three rounds or more?

No one can tell Sant the answer to this question

Soon, the enemy launched the second and third rounds of attacks, just like a copy of the first round of attack. Although the archers involved in the attack and the soldiers responsible for hitting the city gate were more numerous, when Sant commanded all the silver armored and iron armored griffon warriors to join the battle, and cooperated with the full-strength counterattack of the archers and the defending infantry, the ghost troops were defeated again and had to retreat temporarily.

Looking at the troops again, the casualties of our archers have reached hundreds of people

Moreover, since the enemy can cast cold arrows on griffon warriors at close range, the griffon warriors who participated in the battle suffered heavy casualties, dozens of silver-armored griffon warriors were killed or injured, and nearly two hundred iron-armored griffon warriors lost

The most effective way to stop the enemy from hitting the door is to roll the wooden stone. After the third round of fierce battle, it has almost been exhausted.

The only thing that comforted Sant was that the ultimate mobilization order that had just been issued was now revealed

A large number of civilians acted as logistics soldiers, and continuously transported all the stones and woods that could be found in the city to the city walls.

The fourth round of attack was about to begin, but Sant's face became even more ugly, because he saw another team of people coming from behind the enemy. The team was obviously not reinforcements from Mingtuo Griffin Castle.

Because, the gradually brighter sky made it clear that every soldier guarding the city could clearly see that the outfits of this group of men were the same as those of the Dark Knights, and the items they dragged with carriages and experienced soldiers could see at a glance what they were |||It was a ladder and catapult for siege.

This time it's trouble!

Seeing the scene in front of you, even the resourceful military advisor Kema could only shake his head helplessly

In the first three rounds of fierce battle, although the enemy died two or three thousand people, they did not hurt their muscles at all. However, their own ammunition had been consumed. How can we resist when the opponent reorganizes the offensive?

Dong, Dong, Dong

The extremely rapid drum sounded, and the enemy's unprecedentedly violent fourth round of attacks finally launched

The real ghost army placed all three catapults that had just arrived on the main gate. The attacks from the east and west gates were just loud and thunder, and the purpose was to disperse the strength and attention of the main gate defenders.

In addition to the death squad of the city gate, they continued to rush to the city gate without fear, wanting to carry the city hammer again, a group of soldiers carried the ladder and rushed under the city wall under the rain of arrows. Under the cover of the catapult cart and a large group of archers, they began to use the ladder to force the city to climb the city.

The wooden rocks kept falling down, and many young and strong civilian men and even women used buckets to lift the boiling water that had just been burned to the city wall.

A can of boiling water was poured down on his head, and the ghosts were burned and screamed like a pig, rolling down the ladder. Even if some strong climbed to the top of the city with their shields, they could not escape being stabbed in pairs by the spears of the soldiers guarding the city.

Ghost: The total number of archers in the army is obviously not as high as that of archers guarding the city, and the accuracy of archery is far inferior. However, because the distance is close, the deterrent power is still quite strong.

What is even more dangerous is the catapult cart. Most of the stones thrown from the range of the bow and arrow are as big as small watermelons. Not only will the person hit by the hit will die, but if the stone is larger, even the city wall will be smashed into pieces and has a big gap.

The archers and city guards of the Mingtuo Griffon Fortress increased significantly in this round of battle, but the number of enemies that had the advantage seemed to be endless.

The ladder was pushed down and stood up again immediately. He was hit by stones and wood. He poured water on it and fell from the ladder one by one. However, none of these ghost soldiers retreated and attacked them fearlessly.

All the griffin warriors, including dozens of the most powerful golden griffin warriors, have been engaged in the battle

Although Sant himself did not ride a griffin, he fought in the most dangerous place||Faced with the enemy's siege ladder at the forefront of the wall

His combat power is completely comparable to that of the Paladins of the Holy Light Kingdom, and even more so

The powerful fighting energy covers the whole body. At this moment, Sant's eyes were red. Wherever the crisis appeared, it would appear. When the sword cut to the curling blade, it would be replaced with a spear. As soon as he took action, two enemies were often penetrated through his chest and abdomen at the same time.

Kuang... Kuang... The loud noise came, the city-breaking hammer was finally carried by the enemy again

Sant couldn't help but feel anxious

Although the enemy has not yet attacked the city wall and the solid city gate has not been hit hundreds of times, there is no need to worry about damage, if such a battle continues, it will not take too long, and half of the casualties of our soldiers will definitely be. At that time, no matter how brave he, Sant, will be unable to support him alone.

The commander of the ghost army seemed to be angry, and the drums were beaten more urgently, while the ghost soldiers who were sieging the city became more crazy and fierce.

When the city guards under Sant's command, the entire cloud ladder was forked away from the city wall, and the ladder was accompanied by a series of ghost soldiers. When the ladder was lifted to the ground, a strange roar continued to sound. In the enemy's battle formation, twelve bone dragons flew up between the infantry and the cavalry | No, it should be thirteen | | Because, after these twelve bone dragons flew into the sky, they did not immediately pounce on Mingtu Griffon Castle, but gathered together to circle in the air, making an extremely unpleasant roar. At this time, the thirteen bone dragons slowly flew out of the formation.

The bone dragon that flew out was slightly larger than the twelve bone dragons in front of them. Unlike other green-eyed bone dragons, its two eyes were red.

What is even more surprising is that on the back of this bone dragon, there was a person standing||A woman wearing a black magician robe
