The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

The attack acceleration effect is still there, but the continuous application of prayer has long passed, and the 20% speed bonus is reduced.

However, although the infantry has lost 20% of the speed bonus, the Cerberus with a faster basic movement speed has an additional negative morale buff.

In contrast, the infantry is faster, after all, they have Xu Lai's speed talent and ultimate logistics.

On the other hand, these Cerberus, not to mention that they have been abandoned by the demon hero, are not much different.

The demon hero did not send a single soldier to support, but instead let a group of demon commanders lead tens of thousands of long-horned demons to line up in front.

The collapse of the Cerberus troops is only a partial morale collapse, which has a certain impact on the demon army, but overall, the morale decline can be controlled within 10 points.

Behind the long-horned demons are even more numerous Magogs, almost tens of thousands of them.

Although the demon hero has a lot of troops, whether it is the long-horned demon, Magog, or the three-headed hellhound, or the winged demon, they are all relatively low-level troops.

The real combat elite, such as the meat shield demon commander among the infantry, the main output fire demon, fire troll, etc., are almost invisible.

Not to mention the higher-level fire elves, fire demons, big demons, etc.

That is to say, the average level of the troops displayed by Xu Lai is only level 4, and most of them are heavy infantry, spearmen and longbowmen.

If Elvi led the angel army to attack, Matthias might not dare to go out of the city to fight Xu Lai.

And since the enemy is willing to fight Xu Lai outside the city, Xu Lai has no need to expose his high-end troops.

In addition, the fleet was commanded by Avid, and Xu Lai did not even hang the flag, which made Matthias careless and made a hasty decision to annihilate humans in the wild.

Of course, this is also related to his victory in all battles in the past year.

Under the leadership of Kerrigan, the entire Western Empire, except for a few great nobles and the Temple coalition who showed a certain combat effectiveness, almost never encountered any decent resistance.

Even though the Cerberus was now being defeated, it still did not attract enough attention from Matthias.

He was far away from the battlefield and could see that heroes on the ships on the river were constantly releasing strategic spells to cover the battlefield.

But he could not see the front battlefield where the battle was taking place. He could only see that his own Cerberus was constantly dying, but he did not know the casualty rate of humans.

Not to mention that he was not standing on a high place, even if he really climbed up and looked far away, he could only see one Cerberus after another falling on the iron wall formed by the human battle formation.

Matthias saw the acceleration of the attack and various auxiliary states, and thought that it was because humans were numerous, fast, and had strategic spells.

Therefore, the Cerberus failed to break through the human defense line.

But he did not think that his side had no power to fight.

First of all, the two sides had been fighting at a high intensity until now. After several hours, even the most powerful warriors should be tired and temporarily lose their combat ability.

In this way, the three-headed hellhound lost by the side barely replaced part of the human army.

And as long as the human came over, it meant the loss of artillery support on the river, after all, the ship could not land.

At the same time, the strategic spells of the human could not be released as recklessly as before.

Finally, the human just used a large number of arrows, and the damage of the arrows was extremely low, but the ammunition consumption did not decrease.

On the other hand, the archers on the side were well-rested, with abundant ammunition, and they were all Magogs who were good at group attacks. No matter how you look at it, the advantage was on the side.

Of course, Xu Lai did not charge blindly.

He did not get off the boat. Even if his heroic ability could cover a farther battlefield, the spell could not cover it.

Not only the spell, if the distance was too far, he could not see the battlefield situation clearly, let alone make targeted adjustments.

What's more, after such a long battle, the front-line infantry could not keep up with the physical strength even if the health value was treated by the priest.

Besides, even if you want to charge, you have to wait for everyone to arrive.

Not to mention the transport ships that went back to load siege equipment, even the troops on the existing ships have not been unloaded.

Xu Lai brought 5,000 cavalrymen out specially, not for watching the show, let alone for siege.

Why use infantry to charge against the opposite fireballs instead of using the main force of this charge?

Even why should he resist it, he brought the phantom shooter with him specially.

The so-called first effort, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

Matthias was originally ready to fight with humans, so he didn't even care about the three-headed dog of hell, just for fear of breaking his formation.

The large formation set up by tens of thousands of people, with a little movement, requires several times the time to adjust.

Moreover, in order to deal with this battle, all the demons were temporarily summoned.

Even if they had eaten breakfast and stood by to watch the show for several hours, they were already hungry.

But Matthias didn't allow them to eat, because it would seriously affect the formation arrangement and greatly delay time.

The two sides were indeed more than 5 kilometers apart, but not to mention the cavalry, the infantry with attack acceleration would only take three to five minutes at most to rush over.

And although the enemy's artillery was not firing at this time, they might not be at dinner time.

Eating is not an hour, even if the speed is fast, it will take about ten minutes.

Ten minutes for one person, ten people is a hundred minutes.

Of course, time cannot be calculated in this way.

However, the devils on the other side of hell do not have professional chefs, and everyone eats by themselves.

Most demons only eat meat. In hell, the little demons are the natural food of the big demons.

But when it comes to the army, even the hell army, which has always built its city with chaos, still needs basic order.

Mathias just knew that once these demons were allowed to eat, the battle they had finally established at this moment would collapse immediately.

Fortunately, today's weather is quite helpful. After the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and there is no sign of rainfall.

Compared with hell demons who are not afraid of heat, humans are somewhat affected by being heavily armored.

But Xu Lai was not as anxious as Mathias. The depression accumulated in his chest had almost dissipated in the previous battle with the Winged Demon and the Cerberus.

After the infantry, archers and priests all landed, Xu Lai's cavalry was still not in a hurry, but sent the logistics supply team ashore first.

After these people landed, Xu Laicai disembarked with the Guards Cavalry and the heroic knights led by Tahan.

The infantrymen who had fought previously were all rested, and the newly landed soldiers were responsible for formation cover.

After Xu Lai and others came ashore, they first let the horses adapt to the ground environment, and then unloaded all the phantom shooters, including the phantom marksmen, ballistas, catapults, etc. on the Hantan.

After this tossing, another half day passed. Mathias and the others were watching from a distance with eyes wide open. They wished they could go over and grab Xu Lai immediately and let him come over and have a good fight.

Even the most calm demon heroes are already so angry, not to mention those horned demons, Magog, Gog and so on.

Demons are notoriously chaotic species. Except for the recruited demons who remained motionless, most of the remaining demons could no longer hold back.

Some tried to find some food, while others blamed the devil next to them for meeting him.

If Matthias hadn't still been there, his personal guards and governors could still have controlled the situation, and I'm afraid these demons would have started fighting on their own.

However, the more agitated the devil is, the more beneficial it is to his side.

However, Xu Lai did not dare to delay for too long. The sun was shining brightly, and once he started to rest, it would be difficult to regain his fighting spirit.

Especially Xu Lai's side, they are all conscripted troops, and they are all new soldiers. Their patience is definitely not as good as that of veterans, let alone compared with recruited soldiers.

Xu Lai just waited until everyone had eaten and drank enough, waited until the logistics staff pushed the catapults and crossbows over, and then waved his hand, and the army pressed forward.

After all, Matthias had a city to defend and did not dare to bring out all the troops.

Coupled with the fact that both of our own attacks had failed, and we had been holding our breath until now, the formation was already in disarray.

Seeing the overwhelming human offensive, I felt a little guilty for no reason.

Matthias shook his head vigorously. How could the invincible great demon be defeated by a mere human being.

Grabbing a spiked whip from the hand of the personal guard next to him, Mathias whipped the demon in front of him hard.

"Pump it for me. If anyone else can't stand well, I'll beat him to death."

The infantry did not run like the three-headed hell dogs. They just lined up in neat steps and stepped forward step by step.

Boom

Boom

Boom

At the beginning, everyone's pace was not uniform.

But on the warships behind, countless loud drums were beaten one by one.

All warriors instinctively follow the drumbeat and adjust the timing of their footing and swing.

When the sound of neat steps is coupled with the beating of drums by heavy hammers, the dense sound waves are shocking.

Matthias swallowed involuntarily and panicked and ordered a few Magogs to shoot.

However, the distance between the two sides is too far. Even for level 4 Magog, the fireball can only be thrown a hundred meters away.

Not to mention compared to phantom archers, even longbowmen have a range far beyond those of Magog.

Obviously, Mathias was a little panicked and could no longer accurately estimate the distance.

Although he is only over 20 levels, he has upgraded his archery and fire spells to the ultimate level.

Of these two ultimate specializations, the former can increase the range of his troops by 20%.

However, Xu Lai seemed very calm. The large army stopped at about 250 meters, and the spearmen who came up in rotation lowered their spears one by one.

Mathias frowned, not understanding what it meant that the humans stopped charging instead of charging at this time.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered the rain of arrows falling from the sky, the throws from the long archers, and the throws from the phantom archers.

It is also a blind shot without seeing the target. At this moment, the hit rate of the phantom shooter has become almost the same as that of the long archer.

But the phantom shooter with the special effect of the phantom heavy bow does not reduce the damage even if it is thrown, and the damage is still terrifying.

Moreover, each of them can be equipped with many phantom arrows. Even if these phantom arrows cannot compare with the damage of the main body, they are still more exaggerated than the long archers.

The only advantage of longbowmen is their numbers, extremely high numbers.

The arrow rain formed by 6,000 long archers and 1,000 phantom archers covered the sky above the demons.

The demons were stunned by such a terrifying long-range attack. They stared blankly at the rain of arrows in the sky, watching them strike mercilessly on their bodies.

The demons fell one by one like wheat.

Even Mathias, a hero, couldn't help but tremble in his heart after feeling the overwhelming rain of arrows.

However, what made him even more desperate was that they could only allow the enemy's ranged troops to attack them and could not fight back at all.

Not to mention the ranged troops here, the highest was only Magog, even the fire demons and fire trolls could not compare here.

He gritted his teeth, it would definitely not work to just take the beating without fighting back.

Who knows how much ammunition those humans have stored? We can't use the lives of demons to fight for the opponent's ammunition consumption.

Matthias waved his hand and released the first strategic spell of the Hell Camp, Atmospheric Shield.

This spell can reduce the ranged damage received by the selected troops by 25%.

It's a pity that Matthias himself does not have a high level of air magic, so this spell cannot cover the entire army.

Atmospheric Shield, Matthias selected ranged troops such as Gog and Magog.

And he immediately tore open another scroll, the body shield used by Xu Lai before, which can reduce the melee damage of the selected troops by 15%.

For this spell, Matthias chose the Horned Demon and the Demon Warlord.

Matthias, who could no longer sit and wait for death, chose to take the initiative to charge the human army.

Now, he finally understood why the humans had put down their shields and thrust out their spears so early. It seemed that they had been waiting for him.

After using two strategic spells in a row, Xu Lai, who was at the back, was relieved to climb onto his horse.

The prophet's sword was raised to the sky, and the light of the ultimate prayer fell, followed by the ultimate bloodthirsty magic that increased the attack power of all troops by 12 points.

After the bloodthirsty magic, Yu Lan, who was at the back, also began to cast spells, and randomly received a general weakness, reducing the attack power of all demons by 10 points.

Xu Lai didn't care about the status imposed by the demons. The spells he released would only be more beneficial to his side.

Therefore, he had to wait until the enemy cast a spell before casting a spell, otherwise it would be a pity for a high-level spell like prayer to be dispelled by a low-level dispel magic.

After the spell was released, he did not stop. He and Tahan each led half of the knights and outflanked from the rear of the imperial array on the left and right.

The sound of fighting that gradually rose up in front of them did not cover up the shock of the high-ranking knights.

The rumbling sound like thunder was all absorbed by Matthias' ears.

He was horrified to find that at some point, two terrifying knights had emerged from behind the humans.

These knights did not even look at the front battlefield, and went around in a big circle and went straight to the back of the demon army.

Matthias swallowed his saliva. These daring humans actually wanted to trap him?

What was even more terrifying was that because they came out in a hurry, there was no strong defense behind him.

Even if there was, it would be difficult to stop the charge of the human knights.

In other words, this dumpling was really trapped by the human hero. (End of this chapter)
