Chapter 430: The Gruesome Battle with the Demon
However, no one moved without permission.
Instead, they began to move according to the most common formation.
They were the most elite troops. After the bitter and frenzied battle with the fanatics just now, although many of the surviving soldiers were injured, they had also aroused the fierce killing intent in their hearts.
However, they all understood that rus.h.i.+ng forward rashly would only be throwing away their lives and heads!
The first to attack were the archers, Rhodok Veteran Crossbowmen and the Ravenstern Rangers!
Five hundred soldiers quickly moved forward. They had poured arrows in the battle just now and did not engage in close combat, so there were no casualties. They could still shoot out the deadliest arrows in their hands.
As long as they were the long-ranged soldiers, they would have the advantage in the first-hand battle.
Moreover, they were also probing!
The heavy crossbows were drawn, and the battle bows were also drawn into a full moon.
Following the shouts of their respective captain, they pulled triggers and loosened fingers instantly shot out the steel crossbows and awl arrows that were ready like a storm. From a distance of more than 150 meters, they shot straight towards the Lord of h.e.l.l, the so-called flame whip, Flensas’s head!
Looking at that huge body, the so-called chest and other vital parts were definitely not as lethal as the head. Eyes, ears, and throat were all the vital parts on the head!
The rain of arrows whistled past.
The air was filled with the sound of “whoosh” at extreme speed.
However, Flensas grinned hideously as it raised its flame whip and threw it forward with all its strength. As a red wall of flames instantly dispersed, the rain of arrows actually fell into pieces!
The tail of the awl arrow and the tail made of feathers were directly burnt to ashes.
The arrow had lost its tail feathers.
It was the same as losing the ability to control the direction.
All of the arrows scattered in all directions. These arrows did not fly in the straight line with beautiful arc. The rain of arrows had lost its effectiveness!
“Ridiculous.”
Flensas grinned hideously as it moved forward.
To him, this was like hitting a bug.
However, before it could continue speaking, a series of black shadows with a red glow appeared in the curtain of fire at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, it was nailed to its face. A piercing pain caused the gigantic lord of h.e.l.l to let out an angry howl.
“Roar –”
It felt pain!
It was a steel crossbow.
The arrowhead of the steel crossbow was naturally a steel armor-piercing arrowhead. The arrow shaft at the back was also made from excellent wood that had been meticulously carbonized.
The body of the crossbow was relatively short.
Hence, even though it had lost its tail feathers, it was still able to shoot straight forward.
This caused an effective damage.
However, the effect wasn’t great.
A 30 cm long steel crossbow bolt was like a needle to this h.e.l.l lord
Humans would not die even if they stuck a needle in it, let alone this h.e.l.l lord whose vitality was even more tenacious. Instead, it charged forward in anger, swinging the whip of fire in its hand and running forward in anger.
It had already broken free from the seal for more than ten years, and it had already recovered part of its former strength!
A mere human army.
They were just courting death!
But even though it was approaching with quick steps, Kant’s troop still did not retreat.
Instead, they stood firmly on the spot, looking at the huge figure and the tremors that appeared on the ground. It was like an earthquake, more like the tremors caused by the galloping of tens of thousands of cavalries!
Just the might of a single superior demon was already so terrifying.
If there were more than ten of them, or even dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them! That was even more terrifying. They were the terrifying creatures that could go against the G.o.ds in the ancient time!
Even if the G.o.ds possessed powerful strength, they actually didn’t have much of a chance of winning against this group of terrifying creatures. After all, after becoming G.o.ds, they were actually another kind of creature.
A powerful creature that had transcended the mortal world and focused on energy!
This was the rule of this world.
“Fire!” Kant’s voice appeared.
He didn’t let this terrifying h.e.l.l demon continue to run forward.
With his order, rain of arrows, energy b.a.l.l.s the size of coconuts appeared. They whizzed past and directly smashed towards the demon’s body.
It was the magic b.a.l.l.s spell cast by the mages of the Enfath Empire!
“Inferior toy!”
However, Flensas had no intention of dodging.
Instead, it crashed heavily into the energy b.a.l.l.s. With the sound of explosions, the energy b.a.l.l.s formed by the magic ball spell did not cause any damage at all.
“Magic immunity.” the mages had solemn expressions. Of course, they understood the reason.
“That’s right.” Kant nodded.
The demon he had met in the ancient pa.s.sage had the same talent.
The skin of a demon was immune to magic. Ordinary low-level spells, such as magic ball or even fireball, were no harm to these demon lord. They were just like the paper b.a.l.l.s and paper pieces that were blown by a breeze!
However, the mages of Kant did not only know low-level spells.
The war mages who came out of the world of “Wind of War”.
They were all powerful!
Undoubtedly, they were the butchers on the battlefield!
When facing the low-level troops, they naturally had low-level spells and group spells to deal with them.
As for high-level creatures, such as dragons, tree spirits, and even angels and demons, they naturally had their own ideas. For example, the highest-level single-target damage spell that the mages had mastered, Summoning Lightning!
“Group Acceleration!”
But the mages cast a new spell.
As a strong gust of wind surged, the surrounding soldiers, including themselves, felt as if their bodies were light. As long as they ran, their speed could be increased by nearly 100% or even higher!
Especially the archers, they were like light cavalry, shooting as they ran.
But the troops scattered.
They just happened to dodge the Flensas’s charge.
A regular troop cla.s.s could only use their lives to deal with such high-level creature, and this did not mean that they were brainless in exchange for their lives. Certain tactics could also ensure that the casualties of these troop cla.s.ses would be reduced, and the effect would be better.
Just like now, groups of Rhodok soldiers just happened to surround this demon.
Then, they launched their charge!
They wore heavy armor.
They held broad s.h.i.+elds and long spears.
They ran forward step by step, fixing the h.e.l.l demon in place at an extremely fast speed.
Of course, these Rhodok soldiers were also sent flying by the whips of fire. Even if they wore heavy armor, against the whip that was half a meter thick and blazing with flames, they didn’t have much ability to resist.
Their wide s.h.i.+elds were shattered, and even their armor was shattered.
As for their bodies, they were sunken.
They spat out large mouthfuls of blood as they convulsed and died.
However, the Rhodok soldiers did not care and continued to charge forward. Facing the huge foot that was lifted up and stepped on, they did not hesitate to stab with their spears and slash with their battle blades. Even if they had to die, they had to delay and let this devil of h.e.l.l stayed on the spot for a few seconds.
Because right behind them, in front of the magic staff, 50 bolts of terrifying lightning had already appeared!
“Summon Lightning!”
