Chapter 155 The Joy of Bestur
"All demons! Now! Speed forward!"
Then the voice of this high-level devil began to echo throughout the subway tunnel.
The pace of the middle-level, low-level, and inferior devils who followed him again also quickened.
However, the low-level and inferior demons that appeared this time had a lot more protective gear in their hands.
They are all simple handmade shields.
These were the protective gear that this high-level devil exchanged with other devil generals at a certain price after realizing that the first wave of troops suffered too heavy losses.
At that time, it was this high-level devil who gritted his teeth and bore the cost of these protective gear out of anger.
Now he felt that perhaps he had done the right thing.
Especially knowing that the human from Blue Star might have obtained the inheritance mark of a higher power.
If he could get rid of him directly and bring in the remaining parts and rules from the spiritual world imprints at the same time, perhaps he could recover all the current losses and investment, and also get a huge harvest.
Just thinking about it made this high-level devil feel like trembling all over.
It was a tremor of excitement.
Because ever since the collapse of the Crystal Wall System, it is now impossible to obtain the generous rewards that were once easily obtained.
As a high-level devil, he can only live frugally.
Now there is a good opportunity to reap the fat in front of him. As a high-level devil who once called the wind and rain when the main material plane still existed and was promoted to a high-level devil, he will certainly not miss it.
And ready to make a move.
"The human soldiers of that Blue Star are indeed quite powerful, but I don't believe that once we break into his castle and start close combat, those human soldiers will be able to stop my devil soldiers."
This high-level devil is quite clear that now is the time when supernatural power has not yet arrived.
Although it also put him under strict constraints.
But the devil's strong physique is also enough to crush those human soldiers.
After all, it is well known that although those humans can become stronger through breathing techniques, they can also become comparable to demigods through the inheritance of professionals.
But everything requires extraordinary strength to train.
There are no supernatural powers now.
Their once terrifying fighting power could not be displayed at all.
So now it all depends on the physique and fighting skills of individual creatures to engage in a brutal fight.
That would be great for the demons.
Although these inferior demons are all defective products, they are freaks with no real fighting power.
But even so, an inferior devil can be compared to a human soldier.
Not to mention that the fact that a low-level devil could easily kill some elite people was a change.
As for the middle-level devils, if their powers are not considered extraordinary, they can even confront the elite warriors or knights among the human race head-on.
Even if one takes into account extraordinary powers, a mid-level devil with innate spells can slaughter knights with lower-level breathing techniques.
This is the confidence of this high-level devil.
But even without extraordinary powers, this high-level devil believed that his devil troops could be comparable to an extremely elite human force.
This is the absolute confidence brought by the devil race.
Even though he had just experienced a devastating defeat, this high-level devil believed that it was not just him and his devil troops that were unable to compete with the human race.
It was completely that the human race had the advantage over the defenders.
After all, even the devil knows that once it comes to defending a city, it will naturally have an absolute advantage and also have the tactical initiative.
In the previous siege, the demons only brought about ten ladders.
There is a serious shortage in quantity.
Therefore, this time the high-level devil went out in person and brought nearly forty or fifty ladders.
And this time, there are 2000 inferior demons gathered.
Plus 1000 low-level demons.
There are another 300 medium-sized devils in total.
This high-level devil believed that as long as he decided to lead these devil troops to attack, then forty or fifty ladders leaning against the city wall would be enough to directly capture one side of the wall.
It will let the human lord of Blue Star know why the devils of hell also had such a great reputation in the spiritual world in the past.
How can we fight against the demons in the bottomless abyss?
"I really didn't expect this. It was a pleasant surprise."
The high-level devil felt more and more comfortable.
Just looking at the stairs in front of him where the Sujia Village station was located, this high-level devil had no way of moving forward.
Because although there are many hell rules ahead, their concentration is not enough to maintain the phantom composed of dark red blood mist.
Therefore, he could only move around in this subway tunnel at best.
In fact, before, he could only move around in the subway parking lot.
It was because of his anger that the rules of hell extended to this subway tunnel and extended to the outside, making the concentration of the rules of hell in this tunnel higher, which enabled him to come to this subway tunnel.
Otherwise, he would never have been able to get here.
"But we should also make a quick decision. It would be best if we can get rid of that human from Blue Star today."
This high-level devil shadow was in deep thought.
Especially looking at the depths of the subway tunnel, the tunnel area leading to the western area is obviously dark and gray with fog.
The dark red light in the eye position also began to flicker at this time.
It represents that this light belongs to the emotional instability of this high-level devil.
"Damned Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty." The high-level devil slowly opened his mouth and uttered a curse.
He really didn't expect that he had finally occupied the entire Angang Street and then wanted to spread his influence to Long City through the subway.
However, they didn't expect to encounter the skeleton army of the Black Arrow Tower's Seventh Dynasty in the subway tunnel, which had already occupied the subway and most of the subway platforms.
As a result, fierce battles ensued.
At this time, the high-level devil looked down at the scattered and rotten bones that had buried the rails in the subway tunnel.
The disgust and hatred in his eyes were obvious.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Skeleton Legion of the Seventh Dynasty of the Black Arrow Tower wanted to attack their subway parking lot before.
His own army of hell demons could not possibly suffer serious damage, nor could they be taken advantage of by the human forces of this blue planet.
As a result, he was left in the subway parking lot, and the lord crystal cores on the hell altar were captured by the human from Blue Star.
Became the trophy of that blue star human.
This really made him quite angry.
"After I deal with this human from Blue Star, I will gain even more powerful strength. Then I will summon more devil troops and completely destroy all those damn skeletons of the Seventh Dynasty of the Black Arrow Tower!"
This high-level devil shadow from hell uttered even more resentful curses.
Then he slowly raised himself and swung his arm, which was made of dark red blood mist, forward.
Then right behind him.
All the low-level and inferior demons howled, raised their scimitars and the extra round shields on their left arms, and began to rush forward.
He quickly stepped onto the Sujiacun subway station platform, and then walked up the stairs to the first floor of the supermarket which had not yet been built.
It was like a dark red surging tide, emerging from the ground like a spring and spreading directly outside Sujia Village.
"I don't believe my soldiers will fail again." The phantom of the high-level devil became more and more excited in his eyes.
He thought of the crystal core of the spirit world lord that contained the rules of the spirit world.
So I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
He really couldn't wait for the victory that was to come. As long as he could devour those parts and rules, and the power of faith in the spiritual world rules, he would be greatly replenished.
After all, the soul in the power of faith has abundant spiritual energy, although it is impossible to directly transform into a soul worm.
But as long as these powers of faith are fed to the soul worms, the taste of these soul worms will become more delicious, and the soul fragments within them will become purer.
After all, being able to harvest the souls of faith into one's own hands is not an easy thing in the main material plane.
The soul can do more than just transform into a soul worm.
If they are creatures with faith, they will be led to the corresponding kingdom of God by the messengers sent by the gods they believe in.
Then they begin to solidify their souls in life and become petitioners, forever providing a constant supply of power of faith to the gods they believe in.
As for the abyss demons and hell devils who also need soul worms, they need to use various means to lure or capture the souls of these creatures.
There is no way to hunt them now.
But it has the ability to apply rules and directly contact the power of faith.
As long as they can fill the soul fragments with the power of faith, they can produce an endless supply of extremely pure soul worms.
The taste is quite good.
It is a tonic with good enhancing effects for both the abyss demons and the hell devils.
In addition, the rules of the spiritual world that he can devour and transform into the rules of hell can bring it to a higher level and more powerful capabilities, which means that his strength will be significantly enhanced again.
This really made him quite satisfied.
And I am looking forward to the next victory more and more.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Then, at the Sujia Village subway station, a large number of devils from hell began to rush out.
But they were soon discovered by the Kugit grassland bandits who were roaming around nearby.
Or rather, those Kugit grassland bandits have been watching the Su family's station with vigilant eyes and careful attention.
When bursts of noise came from inside.
The grassland bandit who was originally at the edge of the Sujia Village station immediately shook the reins with a serious expression, allowing the grassland horse under his crotch to take him away from the vicinity of the station.
He immediately drew out his nomadic bow, put an arrow on it, and began to look at this side vigilantly.
Including the surrounding grassland bandits who also ride grassland horses.
Not far away, there were also some elite grassland bandits led by Bestur, wearing light armor, light armor helmets, and holding three-meter-long spears. They all looked over here with vigilance.
Including Airen in the distance and the members of the Holy Tree Knights led by him, as well as the Swadian heavy cavalry, they all mounted their horses.
They all knew that as long as the grassland bandits at the Sujia station made any tactical moves, it would mean that the devil's army would arrive again in the subway tunnel at the Sujia station.
Sure enough, looking at the countless dark red figures rushing out like a spring.
Even Shen Mu, who had come to the outer gate of the castle at this time, turned his head and looked in the direction of the Sujia Village station.
He frowned, his expression becoming more serious:
"They're coming."
Shen Mu spoke slowly.
"I don't think they are a threat, Lord Shen Mu. Although they look scary, their actual combat power is just that."
Right next to Shen Mu, Resarit spoke with a rather contemptuous tone.
Especially after he had just defeated the devils from hell who attempted to attack the city, he felt even more like it was nothing.
When he was in Calradia before, he had also heard of so-called demons or devils.
It is said that it is a terrifying creature that only gods can deal with.
But now he had already used the knight's sword in his hand to kill any demon who dared to approach the city wall.
Now it is a demon that was once extremely terrifying and feared in legends.
It’s not that scary anymore.
I even felt a sense of absurdity.
This creature is called a devil because of its terrifying appearance, and its combat power is about the same as that of a fourth-level soldier.
Moreover, so many of them were shot to death by the nomads from the Khergit Khanate with nomadic bows. It was like a joke, and they were completely wiped out.
Why should he be afraid?
"Lesarit, you must not underestimate these hellish demons. Of course, you can underestimate them strategically, but you must treat them seriously tactically."
Shen Mu also spoke up at this time and warned: "You have to know that these hell demons are being slaughtered by us now, which does not mean that they are not powerful. Perhaps it is because the current rules have not reached the time when they become extremely powerful, so we must treat them seriously."
"Okay, I'll take it seriously." At this time, Resarit nodded obediently and did not refute anything.
After all, what Shen Mu said was true.
When they had dinner together before, Shen Mu also talked to them about the power of rules and the dangers the world is facing now.
It also includes the magical crystal wall system in the spiritual world, which contains the inheritance of various powerful professionals and various spells.
It's all pretty awesome stuff.
So we must take it seriously.
Resarit understood this, too.
"Alright, my boys! Now everyone has had enough time to rest! Now I need you all to cheer up and get ready for battle!"
Resarit then began to remind loudly.
On the west wall, the Vikia archers, the Swadian light infantry and the Vikia recruits present all responded.
Everyone's face looked quite excited.
He doesn't seem afraid of the upcoming battle.
And on the inner wall behind, 100 mercenary crossbowmen were still lying there, carefully aiming their heavy crossbows outside, ready to snipe at any time. (I forgot about these crossbowmen in the previous battle...)
Being in a commanding position, these mercenary crossbowmen can just take advantage of some of their sniping abilities. After all, crossbowmen are designed for precise shooting.
Before, Shen Mu placed all these hired crossbowmen in the castle.
The purpose is to make the castle the last line of defense at the critical moment.
However, he did not expect that these hell demons did not attack the city wall. Instead, they were stopped outside the city wall by his archers. Coupled with the harassment of the horse archers and the charge of the heavy cavalry, they were completely wiped out.
Therefore, these hired crossbowmen in the castle did not play any role.
So Shen Mu now feels that it would be better to send these 100 mercenary crossbowmen to the top of the inner city wall, so that they can have a good position to conduct sniper shooting at the outside.
After all, the shooting angle required by the crossbowman is quite important.
(I found a reasonable explanation.)
But even now, Shen Mu didn't think these crossbowmen would be of much use.
Because for the troops Shen Mu has now.
Those grassland bandits and archers who have become stronger again will harass the hell demons who attempt to attack this side in a more frequent and deadly manner.
It is still uncertain whether those devils from hell can resolutely launch a siege towards the city wall after dealing with these grassland bandits.
After all, Shen Mu is not in a completely passive defensive position now.
There are 515 archers from the grassland bandits, plus the more than 200 heavy cavalry led by Airen.
The combat system that Shen Mu currently possesses.
That is defensive counterattack.
Moreover, it was a defensive counterattack that took the initiative on the battlefield.
Like now.
Shen Mu stood on the city wall, looking at the grassland bandits who had regrouped and began to split into small groups again, pouring rain of arrows at the hellish devils that poured out of the Sujia Village station.
The devils from hell that had just rushed out of the subway tunnel were nailed to death on the spot.
The look of someone strolling in the garden.
Even from a considerable distance, Shen Mu could see the confidence of the Kugit grassland bandits, as well as their playful mentality.
Because these Kugit grassland bandits did not let the grassland horses under their crotch leave their original place.
They rode on prairie horses.
These prairie horses just stood there, glancing at the hellish demons rushing towards them and snorting in boredom.
Then the Kugit bandits riding on the backs of these grassland horses pulled their nomadic bows and began to shoot arrows at those hell demons one by one.
Let the arrows in his quiver begin to hit the bodies of those devils from hell one by one.
Even though these grassland bandits had already seen that most of the hell devils had left arms and were equipped with some simple wooden round shields, they still drew their bows and shot arrows calmly.
As the devils from hell continued to approach, the arrows shot from the nomadic bows in their hands brought terrifying power.
It can even penetrate their shields.
So much so that some unlucky devils from hell thought they could use their raised shields to block the incoming arrows.
However, they didn't expect that the arrow would directly pierce through the shield and even break their left arm bones.
They suffered heavy losses before they even got close to these grassland bandits.
Don't forget that even if the shield has some blocking function, it cannot protect their entire lower body and legs, which can still be hit by feather arrows.
So these Kugit grassland bandits seemed to be playing a game, drawing their bows and shooting arrows with ease.
Quite calm and relaxed.
And as the hell devils got closer to them, the Kugit grassland bandits aimed their arrows at their lower bodies and legs, causing more hell devils to fall to their knees, wailing because of arrows in their legs, and losing their ability to move.
Then you will just become the lamb to be slaughtered.
Even though they were gradually getting closer to the Kugit grassland bandits by relying on their numerical advantage.
However, these grassland bandits only need to shake the reins lightly to signal to the grassland horses that have become as close as old comrades, and start to trot on all four hooves.
It is easy to create a distance of more than ten meters.
Then, by making a circle or twisting his waist, he could draw the bow and shoot arrows again, hitting the demons from hell one by one.
Even this is just the relaxed way that ordinary Kugit grassland bandits take when facing the devil from hell.
For those more elite Kugit grassland bandit elites.
They are equipped with a high-quality nomadic bow.
This bow is identical to the Good Nomadic Bow equipped by Vaegir Archers.
And they are all fourth-level soldiers.
This means that their archery skills are quite superb and their killing ability is also extremely excellent.
Even these elite Kugit grassland bandits still need to improve their riding skills, as they are slightly inferior to the Vikia archers in archery.
But at close range, shooting those hellish demons is just as easy.
Especially since the arrows equipped by these Kugit grassland bandit elites are barbed arrows.
An arrow that is less armor-piercing than the Cone-Point Arrow, but more effective against lightly armored units.
At this time, they were nailed one by one onto the bodies of the demons from hell.
And this barbed arrow is not without the ability to penetrate armor.
There are still some.
It just so happens that it has some armor-piercing ability, which makes it easier to penetrate the round shields of those hell demons.
It shot directly through the round shields and the left arms of these hell demons, and pierced deeply into their chests.
It caused even more terrifying killing effects on these hellish demons.
These devils from hell who had just poured out of the Sujia Village subway station were targeted and sniped by 515 Kugit grassland bandits in a short period of time, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
As a result, these devils in hell are now really miserable.
And I can only feel helpless and furious.
"Dense formation! Hurry up!"
"Form a dense defensive formation!"
"Everyone must hurry!"
However, the middle-level devils were still scolding the low-level and inferior devils, asking them to form square formations of a hundred people again.
Then they huddled together again to form an effective defensive formation.
It's still the inertia of thinking.
I still think it's better to stick together and let the inferior devils attract the attention and long-range firepower of the enemy archers.
To protect the low-level demons who are the main force on the battlefield.
Finally engage in close combat with the enemy.
It’s still the same battlefield idea.
However, as for these devils from hell who gathered together again, Bestul in the distance showed a smile on his face.
He waved forward.
He signaled to the Kugit grassland bandits around him to move closer.
After all, the ready-made target is right here. If they don't shoot at it, it would be a shame for these nomads who were born on the prairie and have been playing with bows and arrows and learning shooting since childhood.
Bestur is having fun!
