Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf
Chapter 407 Hidden Dangers
The effect of the magic granted by Meliteli was beyond everyone's imagination.
After Tissaia's fire storm disappeared, the zombie creatures that rushed up had almost no power to resist and were pushed back fiercely.
Under the sharp blade of the flashing golden light, the zombie creatures were no stronger than a piece of paper.
The skin, muscles and even bones were like snow that had just fallen on the ground, encountering a melting sword, accompanied by a sizzling sound, being split, cut off, and smashed.
The moment the human and monster lines met, dozens of zombies were separated from their heads.
It was so easy that even the soldiers on the front line were stunned for a moment, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar weapons in their hands in surprise.
This was especially true for the soldiers of the Demon Hunting Army.
Because they had really killed zombies in the past and knew how difficult this creature was.
Their skin is tougher than human tanned leather, their strength is comparable to that of excellent human knights, and their speed is even faster than the hounds carefully raised by the nobles...
In the past, every time they encountered such monsters, it was almost impossible for the demon hunters to escape unscathed, and even people would die if they were careless.
This situation only improved a month ago after the popularization of Ailin's corpse-eating biological oil.
But now, after Ianna's magic was released, killing a ghoul is no more difficult than killing a chicken.
The long sword blessed by the magic can cut the bones of the monster, and the originally deadly claws and bites can't leave a scratch on the armor...
The strength is getting stronger and the speed is getting faster. Even the soldiers who hold the tower shield to protect the sorceress can use the shield to knock a few fish that escape the net.
"Meliteli is above!"
Sara cut a ghoul in two with a sword, wiped the monster's blood on her face with one hand, and looked at the surrounding comrades who were full of fighting spirit in surprise.
For the first time, he felt a little guilty about his thoughts just now.
What more could Ailin ask for if he could pray for such a magic for them?
Maybe he was worried that Lord Mason would have a hard time conferring knighthood for his military merits, so he deliberately did not participate in the war.
Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind.
Whether it was or not, it had nothing to do with him now. Sarah now only wanted to kill all the minions of the evil god who dared to plot against Elland, blow up the monster's nest, and then drive the damn evil god out of this world.
"Kill!"
Sarah roared again, leading the surrounding demon hunters, waving swords and rushing towards the next ghoul that was coming head-on.
Ailin on the back of the griffin was not as optimistic as Sarah.
"The light of the magic is fading..."
He frowned slightly.
Although the speed of fading was very weak, the demon hunter's keen perception could distinguish it clearly.
Of course, this was as it should be, but Ailin roughly estimated that at this rate of fading, perhaps a few monster nests would not be blown up, and the effect of the magic would completely disappear.
"It really declined too quickly," said Vesemir, "The plan was disrupted by the corpse-eating creatures, so it still had an impact."
"It was originally in that place."
He pointed to a place outside the battlefield, about two or three kilometers away.
That was the entrance to an unnamed valley. Although it was not wide, it could accommodate ten people walking side by side at the same time, and the further you went in, the more spacious it became.
This morning, Arthur took them to observe the enemy situation by walking along the towering ridges on both sides of this valley.
The first two monster nests were in the deepest part of the valley, of course, far away from the entrance.
"The human coalition will set up a battle array in the narrow road at the entrance of the valley, and then send out soldiers with agile legs and feet to attract some corpse-eating creatures, first let the army adapt to their attack methods, and then gradually go deeper."
"The magic should be used after the monster nest is detected and the first wave of monsters surges in, but now..."
Vesemir shook his head: "Ianna has no choice."
"Being attacked in this narrow mountain road that can only accommodate two or three people is very disadvantageous to the human coalition. Once there are heavy casualties at the beginning, it is an emergency call, and the unfamiliar morale will easily collapse directly."
"At that time, even if the magic is released, it will be difficult to recover the disadvantage."
Alin nodded.
That's right. The entire human coalition, the experienced and fearless demon hunters are at the forefront, followed by the fully armored guards knights, but behind them are some conscripted farmers holding spears and without even leather armor.
The better-equipped noble private army is at the end, responsible for supervising the battle.
Fortunately, the evil god, for some reason, only threatened and did not launch a surprise attack.
Otherwise, if a big commotion was caused, the demon hunters and the guards might not have any problems, but it would be hard to say about the conscripted farmers.
Now that the magic is released, it will indeed fade away faster, but it also inspires the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, making them realize that the originally terrifying corpse-eating creatures are actually just that.
The unfamiliar fear is broken, and after the magic completely disappears, there is still the combat effectiveness of the army itself.
"No wonder Ianna was so unconfident before she obtained the magic." Vesemir looked at the composition of the army below, tilted his head and glanced at Aylin, thinking, "Even with such a powerful magic, so many accidents will happen."
"If it is done as before, perhaps here we have to test the soldiers' faith in Meliteli and their feelings for Elland."
"The intensity is still not enough..." Aylin turned his head and looked to the north of the valley.
Under the vision of the cat's eye potion, the corpse-eating creatures there were also moving, but they had no intention of gathering on the battlefield.
"Well." Vesemir squinted his eyes and nodded, "Wait a little longer, don't rush, at least now, the situation of humans is very good."
The situation of humans is indeed very good.
The demon hunting army led by Sarah, like the sharpest arrows, penetrated directly into the core of the corpse-eating creatures.
Wherever they went, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
After discovering that the killing effect of the spell was not as good as that of ordinary people's long swords, the sorceresses began to focus on the rotten demons hidden in the ghouls.
This kind of monster is really a killer for ordinary people. If you are not careful, the explosion plus the splashing corrosive liquid can kill a large area.
However, once they are targeted by the extraordinary with long-range fire spells, they are natural human teammates.
"Boom boom ~"
In the sound of violent explosions.
The number of ghouls blown off the cliff by the rotten demons was even greater than that killed by the demon hunting army, and for the sorceress, all she needed was the simplest fire-starting spell.
This spell could be learned by even a sorceress with little talent, and it was not much more difficult than the illumination spell, and was used to replace flint to start fires in daily life.
However, it was the same as what happened to Aylin and Vesemir during the day.
As the brain of the corpse-eating creatures, the giant ghouls quickly adjusted their strategies and made the rotten demons retreat.
The incomplete bodies of countless ghouls piled up on the mountain road, even affecting the team's progress, so Sarah had to arrange some people to kick the bodies out of the mountain road so as not to affect the march.
But even so,
the coalition forces still advanced very quickly under the blessing of divine magic, and even because the sorceress cast a spell to level the ground, the soldiers' marching speed was even faster than before the monsters attacked.
Soon they arrived at the battlefield prepared in the plan - the entrance of the nameless valley.
It was also here that the influx of monsters suddenly surged because of the more open terrain.
But in the same way, humans arranged a staggered formation to make the slaughter more efficient.
The guard knights wore golden armor and took turns to replace the demon hunters who had been fighting fiercely.
The warriors holding the tower shields cooperated and stuck in the front.
"Hey~ hum~ Hey~ hum~"
They lifted the tower shield, held it with their right shoulders, took a step forward, stuck it in the ground, waited for two seconds, lifted it again, held it, and moved forward again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ghouls hit the tower shields heavily.
However, not only did they fail to overwhelm the shield bearers due to the blessing of the divine arts, but the skin that touched the glowing shield surface was burned, and screamed.
The guard knights swung their swords in the gap between the two tower shields, and from time to time they let the demon hunters rush out in coordination and charge a round.
The speed of advancement did not slow down due to the change of terrain. On the contrary, due to the stable rhythm, the killing of corpse-eating creatures was more efficient and faster.
Until...
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The gravel on the ground began to tremble.
Several sorceresses waved their hands and pointed, and the light ball suspended in the air flew towards the source of the sound.
Several huge figures covered in red came like a small mountain, stepping out deep pits on the ground.
The spike demons are coming!
Their hideous figures, mixed with the strong pressure brought by the favor of magic, looked like mountains from a distance.
In the middle of the team, the conscripts who had just gathered up their courage because of the piles of monster corpses and were ordered to change guards at the front line trembled immediately.
"Don't panic! Keep attacking! The ladies will deal with them!" Arthur immediately shouted to comfort.
Before he finished speaking.
Tissaya immediately recited the mysterious spell.
The spike demons had no time to get close, and purple lightning pierced the air and fell from the sky.
"Ah——"
A correct version at 16191 book and 1 forum!
With a shrill roar, the skin of the spike demon suddenly turned into charcoal, and then suddenly expanded.
"Tower shield man! Stand up the shield!" Sarah, who had been at the forefront, changed her expression and her voice became distorted.
"No need." Tissaia's calm voice rang in everyone's ears.
Then, a fierce magic storm roared and lifted up flying sand and rocks.
The swollen spike demon was blown away and hit another spike demon running wildly from a distance.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
The explosion of the swollen spike demon also detonated another spike demon.
Two violent explosions shook the ground and the cliffs on both sides of the valley collapsed.
The rubble fell, and many of them hit the marching team directly, but they were blown away by the well-prepared sorceress who cast various air element spells.
The remaining few spike demons were easily killed by Tissaia in the same way.
"Keep chasing, don't stop!" Tissaia's voice rang again.
After the whole army was stunned for a moment, the shouts of killing started again, and they quickly seized the vacancy left by the explosion of the spike demon.
"The progress is slow."
Tissaia retracted her gaze from the front line and looked at the old Ianna who was also riding on the strange horse beast.
"You sorceresses have so many good things."
Ianna touched the strange horse beast under her body without answering the question.
Although the horse beast is not fast, it is much more stable than people in this mountainous terrain, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
"This is the latest research result of Aretusa College. If you want it, you can buy it from the Civil Joint Venture Organization of Aretusa Group." Tissaia said.
"Then I can't afford it." Ianna waved her hand, "I can't afford it either."
"If you can successfully expel the evil god this time, I will give you one horse," Tissaia shook her head helplessly. .
"Two horses," Ianna bargained.
"As long as you can successfully expel it, it's fine," Tissaia emphasized.
She tilted her head to look at the battlefield where blood and flesh were flying everywhere. The brightness of the "Holy Sword", "Holy Shield" and "Holy Cloth" was obviously dimmed by more than one degree compared to the original.
"But can it really be expelled successfully?" Tissaya's voice sounded in Ianna's mind, "Now, let alone expelling the evil god, maybe we won't even see the living demon summoning ritual you mentioned."
"Who knows?" Ianna replied, "Who knows, maybe the goddess Meliteli will borrow another flash of thunder, or send an angel from the sky."
"You are so old, can you be more serious," Tissaya sighed, "Ianna, at least when you were a child, I took care of you for a long time in Aretuza."
Ianna nodded: "That was indeed a very "unforgettable" experience."
"I still remember the appearance of the dead toad, and the leech the size of an arm."
"But..."
She looked up at the sky: "I have been very serious. When I do my best, someone will naturally be able to make up for the remaining part that has not been done."
"Is this an oracle?" Tissaya raised her eyebrows.
Ianna retracted her gaze and smiled: "I guess so."
"I guess so?" Tissaia frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, wanting to ask further.
At this time.
Arthur suddenly ran over from the front:
"High Priest, the first monster nest is ahead, it's time to change the formation."
"Send the order." Ianna looked at Tissaia and ordered, "Let the throwers carrying dwarf bombs and honeycomb bombs come forward, and remind the soldiers on the front line to be careful of the riot in the monster nest."
Tissaia could only temporarily give up the doubts in her heart and recite the spell.
After all, although she promised to obey Ianna's orders, once the situation is bad and irreversible, they, Aretusa, can still leave unscathed.
She is not the one who should be most anxious about not being able to keep up with the planned progress.
The monster nest is like an intestine or uterus buried underground, with only a circle of vigorous and hideous flesh and blood exposed on the ground, and it looks like some kind of coelenterate.
It makes people extremely uncomfortable just by looking at it, not to mention the strong stench wafting from afar.
As if sensing a strong crisis, the monster's nest was wriggling violently.
White ghouls covered with mucus were constantly ejected from the monster's nest.
"Is this honeycomb bomb really useful?"
The thrower covered his nose with sackcloth, carried a heavy dwarf bomb on his back, and held a small round ball of soil in his hand. He was escorted by Sarah and several strong demon hunters.
Other soldiers were blocking the sides, and the sorceress had to start casting magic to resist the zombie creatures that were attacking crazily from the mountain road on the side.
Fire, lightning, storms and thunder were rampant in this valley.
"Of course it works," Sarah answered without hesitation, crouching down, "This was made by Sir Arryn."
"I hope it works too."
The thrower sighed.
Otherwise, with the weight of the dwarf bomb, he would have to stand on the flesh and blood that secreted unknown mucus to throw the bomb into the monster's nest.
The probability of survival is less than one in ten.
Of course he was not afraid of death for Elland, but it would be better to live well.
"Then throw it more accurately. Is this distance enough?" Sarah chopped off the ghoul struggling to stand up from the ground with a sword, and turned back to shout loudly.
"Enough."
The thrower took a deep breath.
He looked at the squirming flesh about ten meters away, and then followed the instructions of the demon hunter and carefully dug a gap in the earth ball.
After the gap began to smoke, he squinted at the target again, and then swung his arm to throw it.
The earth ball slid through a smooth curve in the sky and accurately fell into the monster's nest.
In an instant.
The whole battlefield seemed to be quiet.
