Chapter 821: The Battle Begins (III) (2/2)
Ranked forty-eighth, the Ox Demon God of Terror Haggenti was a huge ox. He was one of the few demon gods that was most skilled in defence.
Samigina’s objective in sending them out was very simple. He wanted them to protect the Demon God of Curses and Dark Phoenix Demon God who had weaker defences, so their magic could be unleashed to their fullest potential, which would allow them to turn the disadvantageous situation around.
It would be much easier for the Monster Demon God and Ox Demon God to handle the arrows.
Just when Samigina sent the two demon gods as reinforcements, the battle for the fort had completely unfolded.
Without nothing else to follow up the earth mage’s spells, the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons began their full-scale assault on the walls. They were both the primary forces among the demons, as their strength was relatively stronger. The Blazing Lions were slightly less proficient at climbing, but once they made it on the walls, they would pose a huge threat to the warriors on there.
The shield warriors stood at the very front valiantly and collided with the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons.
Although the Warrior Temple was the weakest out of the six temples, it was also the most numerous. With the shield warriors at the front and the berserkers at the back, they engaged in a battle to the death against the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons.
All of the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple appeared on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons were, they still paled in comparison to warriors of the sixth step and higher.
A huge, golden sword swept over the top of the walls. On the walls that spanned several hundred meters across, all of the Demonic Wolves, Panther Demons and the few Blazing Lions that had just made it up were bisected. This was Qiu Yonghao’s attack.
The warriors above the eighth step were all standing on the battlements, preventing the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons from passing them.
However, the attacks from the demons in the air also arrived. The magic from the Dual Headed Eagle Demons and spears of lightning from the Birdy Demons constantly rained down on the Southeastern Fort. The armies of the Temple Union began suffering losses. Fortunately, Qiu Yonghao’s battle tactic of pairing up the troops was very successfully. The mages were protected very well, but the aerial demons fought back rather powerfully as well.
What surprised Samigina was that for some reason, the defensive weapon that usually possessed the greatest power, the magic cannons, were not used at all. They seemed to have vanished completely, which allowed the aerial demon army to fight even harder.
Spurt! A warrior strangely collapsed on the ground with a slit throat and immediately a hole appeared on the walls. However, it was quickly plugged by a berserker using his body.
“Mages, use scouting techniques. There are Dyke Demons.”
Scouting techniques lit up on the city walls and as expected, a large number of Dyke Demons appeared on the battlefield among the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons. Even when they were illuminated by the scouting techniques, the invisible Dyke Demons were like transparent wisps of smoke, making it very difficult to discover them. The losses on the walls immediately increased as a result.
In the air, the Monster Demon God and Ox Demon God had finally arrived. Under their protection, Phenex and Stolas could finally approach the walls of the fort. They were both preparing their magic as well.
Having reached this point, the demons had finally gained an upper hand through the strength of their land and air troops.
A ball of dim, green light suddenly became the centre of attention. As it fell from the sky, a twisted tunnel appeared.
Stolas’ eyes were vicious, “Die, you damn humans. You’ve actually killed Gaap. I’d like to see how you deal with my Swamp of Corrosion now.”
The name was very simple, but it was a true forbidden spell, a forbidden spell filled with the might of curses. It did not target people, but the wall.
However, at this very moment, a fire-red figure suddenly leapt up from the walls. A pair of huge, fire wings unfurled and pushed his body towards the green light in a flash.
The weapon in his hands was a spear. The spear thrust forwards and a transparent, red crystal suddenly appeared on the tip of the spear.
The red crystal just stabbed into the gim, green ball of light and the light halted in the air, as if it was about to explode. However, the red crystal exploded first.
Flames that mixed red and green immediately rose up and the sky turned into a huge cluster of fire. Afterwards, the fire-red figure that had flown up into the air thrusted his spear at the distant sky.
