The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 685: Attacking a City with a City

Tren probably never thought that his teleportation spell, which worked every time, would fail.

In fact, his teleportation spell was successful, otherwise he would not have disappeared suddenly just now.

But although his teleportation spell was successful, some people did not want him to escape back.

The defense of Kerrigan's base camp was naturally not simple. In addition to the strengthened city defense, there was also a special magic circle that reduced the damage of siege weapons.

Originally, this was nothing. Reducing the damage of siege weapons was basically a panacea and could be used in most cases.

Even if Xu Lai wanted to attack the city, he would definitely use siege weapons to bombard it first.

It was just that when Mendis brought back the news of the extremely terrifying forbidden spell on the small gray castle.

Briston temporarily added a magic circle on the basis of the original magic circle.

The name of the magic circle is called mirror.

The function of the mirror is very simple. It can transfer a specified spell every time it is activated, but it takes a very long time to cool down afterwards.

No matter how powerful the magic circle is, it cannot reduce damage 100%.

Given the horrible damage of the forbidden spell, what would it matter if the 10% was reduced? It would just mean living longer.

The best way is to prevent the forbidden spell from covering your head.

Of course, the mirror image cannot transfer all spells, especially the extremely terrifying energy of the forbidden spell.

But as long as a part of it can be transferred away, leaving a corner for the city to breathe will be fine.

As long as there is a corner in the city that the forbidden spell cannot take care of, the demons can hide in this corner and hold on until the forbidden spell ends.

Anyway, the forbidden spell ignores the enemy and friends, and humans dare not approach during the duration.

And they can hide in the city, and once the forbidden spell ends, they can immediately reoccupy the city.

Tren knew that Briston had arranged a new defensive array, and some key materials were even allocated by Kerrigan.

Tren was also very clear about the effect of the mirror array.

There was only one thing that Tren did not expect, that is, his own people on the city wall would attack him.

Every time the mirror array was activated, it meant huge energy consumption and a long cooling time.

Therefore, the key to activate the magic circle is only in the hands of the most core and key person in the city.

If this person is Mendis, perhaps Tren will be more careful.

But this person is Barton, his master, and the most trusted subordinate of the Lord of Hell.

Otherwise, Kerrigan would not have handed over his base camp to Barton. In terms of equipment and level, Mendis is above Barton.

As Kerrigan's confidant, Tren did not expect Barton to harm him, especially at such a critical moment.

However, Mendis on the city wall smiled contemptuously.

This Tren is really stupid. In addition to having a higher combat ability, he is not even his opponent in a single fight, but he does not understand his own situation at all.

Although Tren and Barton are both Kerrigan's confidants.

But because of this, as long as Tren is still there, Barton can only rank second, even if Barton is a hero, this is called unworthy of the position.

Secondly, Tren came with a thousand big demons. These thousand big demons are a huge force in the hands of any hero.

Only in Teren's hands, at most there are a group of level 6 or 7 warriors.

This point can be proved by the fact that the human group of level 6 or 7 infantry can suppress this group of big demons.

What role can a thousand level 6 warriors play in such an occasion?

If Teren is willing to bow his head and temporarily join Barton's army, with Kerrigan's order, Barton will not force him to be transferred.

The blame is Teren himself. He has always been arrogant and looks down on other demons.

Of course, this is also because Teren's own ability is too strong. It is difficult to find a person who can beat Teren in a single fight in the whole hell.

Teren fought one against two, one was the archangel promoted to general, and the other was the strongest human hero, and he could still hold on for a few rounds.

This shows how strong Teren's personal ability is.

Barton does not have the ability to defeat the opponent by force, and he is jealous of the thousand big demons under Teren's command.

The key is that Teren sent himself to death and teleported outside the city, giving Barton the opportunity to do something.

There are so many demons present, and they can prove to Barton that Teren left the city by himself and died under the sword of humans.

Even if Kerrigan investigates and divines, he can only get this result because it is the fact.

Although Barton used the mirror spell to deflect Teren's teleportation, the mirror spell has no harm ability.

Every bit of life value on Teren was lost at the hands of humans, and Barton didn't get a drop of it.

This result, let alone Teren, even Xu Lai was very surprised.

The damage of the Blazing Judgment Sword is extremely terrible, but Teren, who was stabbed in the chest, still did not die.

Not only did he not die, he also drank a bottle of dark purple potion.

Xu Lai didn't know what the effect of the potion was, but he only knew that the demon had recovered visibly.

But just when Teren stood up and wanted to fight back, Xu Lai, who reacted, directly hit Teren on the back of his head with a shield.

Xu Lai's strength is not low in itself, and with the blessing of the God of War, it is even higher than Terun.

Shield Strike is a derivative skill of the basic skill of shield use, and the damage is not high.

The key is that this skill is a rare hard control skill with long-term control.

Once hit on the head by a shield, you will be stunned for at least 1 second. If the skill level is high enough and the power gap is large enough, it is normal to be stunned for three or four seconds.

Xu Lai's shield knocked up, directly crushing Tren's last hope of escape.

What Tren took was an extremely precious bottle of comprehensive recovery potion.

As the name suggests, this potion can fully restore the user's health, mana, stamina, etc.

With Tren's health, just a bottle of super life potion that can restore all health is worth a lot, let alone this kind of comprehensive recovery potion.

In other words, Tren's status is all here, and another person would not be able to enjoy things of this level.

But even though Tren's condition was fully restored, he couldn't do anything while he was in dizziness.

He could only watch helplessly as the angel stabbed his body with sword after sword, and finally, with reluctance and fear, he watched his head and body getting farther and farther away.

After beheading Hellboy Teron, the morale of the demon army dropped drastically, especially the more than 100 big demons that came out, and they instantly lost their fighting spirit.

A few who saw the opportunity quickly were able to escape with luck, but most of them were killed on the spot by the pioneers with the support of the angels who arrived.

The demon heroes on the city wall were not surprised at all by this scene.

Patton, the defending hero who had been motionless, waved his hand, and rows of crossbow arrows and fireballs were fired at Xu Lai and the others.

Xu Lai frowned and had no intention of continuing to chase the demon.

This trip has been an unexpected bumper harvest. There is really no need to continue to struggle with these demons.

As soon as he saw Xu Lai and the others walking away, Mendis walked to Barton with a smile and said:

"General Patton, it would be a waste for these great demons to have no one to lead them. Why don't I take some people to guard the gate of the abyss to prevent them from being destroyed by humans."

Barton sneered: "After the troubles here are solved, these big demons, His Majesty Cregan will definitely want to go back."

Mendis chuckled and said: "That has nothing to do with me, I just took what I should take.

Or does General Patton think that he did it flawlessly and that others are fools and can't tell at all? "

Indeed, the big devil's teleportation was instantaneous. When Tren launched the teleportation just now, even Xu Lai and the others didn't have time to react.

Only Barton, who had been watching the battle on the city wall, guessed what Tren was thinking in advance and made preparations in advance to take a gamble.

After all, it was teleportation, and Barton himself wasn't really sure.

But if it fails anyway, it will lose a little energy and cooling time.

It is impossible for humans to activate the forbidden spell now, so even if his little trick fails, it will never be discovered.

However, the moment Tren disappeared and came back, Mendis actually noticed him.

"One hundred great demons, I will find a way to kill them in battle."

Mendis chuckled and said, "Do you want me to take those demon captains to see the French Front?"

"The maximum number is 200, and I can only give you the big demons I recruited. I will give you the rest of the big demons. Can you take it?"

Mendis thought for a while, and the big demons were still very loyal to Kerrigan.

Even if he tried to get more, there was no way he could prevent them from returning to serve Kerrigan afterwards, unless they were really allowed to "die in battle."

"Okay, 200 is 200."

200 big demons just opened their mouths and asked for them. Mendis was about to leave when he heard Barton say:

"I've given you 200 great demons, and you must shoulder your responsibilities."

"What's the meaning?"

“His Majesty Kerrigan sent you here to stop Xu Lai.

But as far as I know, you not only lost the battle to him, but also caused Ferris and the others to die in battle.

If even Bristone falls, do you think you can return to hell alive even if you get those 200 demons? "

Mendis's face changed for a while, but in the end he said nothing.

"I know you have other backers in hell, maybe His Majesty Cregan won't kill you.

But once the gate of the abyss is closed, it is impossible for you to return to hell alive, and even your soul may not be able to float down. "

Barton still looked calm, but what he said frightened Mendis.

"I understand, don't worry, if humans really attack the city, I will help."

Mendis only promised to contribute, but did not say that he would use his own strength. At worst, he would pay for the 200 demons he earned.

Anyway, if Bristone really couldn't hold on, he would have to run down from the Gate of the Abyss first.

Even if he has to be hunted down by Kerrigan in the future, that will happen in the future.

Xu Lai had never met Terun, so he didn't know how important a demon he had killed in the hell camp.

He only knew that although this demon was powerful, its attributes were a bit too poor, not even as good as the ordinary big demons he had dealt with before.

However, although Xu Lai did not recognize this demon, Eric and the others certainly did.

After cutting down a tren, the morale of the human coalition increased greatly, sweeping away the dejection from last night.

But if you want a serious siege, you still have to wait for the Qingfeng Legion and the logistics troops to come over.

Eric only brought some fast warriors over, and the slower troops still had to be with the Qingfeng Legion.

When Reina led the Qingfeng Army to arrive, it was already night and no longer suitable for siege.

During the day, Xu Lai went to see it himself.

Briston is less than half the height of Graycastle, but in terms of grandeur, Graycastle is far inferior to Briston.

There is no other reason, just one, Briston is really big.

In Xu Lai's impression, only Emerald City is slightly bigger than Briston, and even his Qingfeng City is inferior to it.

Being big means that with Xu Lai's current troops, it is impossible to carry out siege operations.

As the saying goes, if there are ten, you can surround it, and if there are five, you can attack it.

Xu Lai's infantry and cavalry, plus the Naga reinforcements, barely have 200,000 troops.

Even if the logistics troops are included, it is still not enough.

Not to mention the demons that are ten times larger than Briston, it is good if the demons in Briston are not ten times larger than Xu Lai.

But even so, the demons in Briston still dare not go out of the city to fight.

The more than one hundred big demons that came out during the day did not even fight against enemies that were far less in number and lower in level than their own.

The remaining lower-level ones were even less interested in going out of the city to seek death.

It was better that the demons did not come out. Although Xu Lai and his team had been traveling all day, they still could not rest well at night.

Now that they were here, it was impossible not to fire a few shots and try.

Therefore, Xu Lai organized people to assemble the high-level catapults that had just been dismantled from the top of Qingfeng City overnight.

It was a pity that those explosive bombs could not be used, and the demons in hell were not affected by fire damage.

When the sky was bright again, the demons on the city wall were horrified to find that hundreds of high-level catapults had been erected in the human positions outside the city.

Briston was big, and there were indeed enough demons defending.

But so what, as the saying goes, a long defense will lead to a loss. The demons in the city did not have the slightest initiative, and the initiative was completely on Xu Lai's side.

The main attacker was still Reina. With her ballistics bonus, the range of the high-level catapults that Xu Lai dismantled from Qingfeng City was almost the same as that of the opponent.

Even those on the city wall have a certain range advantage thanks to the city wall.

But compared to Graycastle, the biggest problem of Briston is that there are also many troops that can be deployed outside the city.

Hundreds of advanced catapults were deployed under the cover of night, and the number is definitely far greater than those deployed by the demons on the city wall.

The catapults deployed behind the city wall do not have the advantage of the city wall, and the range is not up to the standard of the Qingfeng City catapults.

Xu Lai fought with more people against fewer, and even if he suffered a little loss, he had to smash the dozens of catapults on the city wall.

Once the catapults on the opponent's city wall were destroyed, Xu Lai could bombard the enemy's city wall.

Without the city wall, his own infantry could invade in large numbers, and then the competition would be the hard power of both sides.

Xu Lai, who has the warehouse ring, is not attacking the city alone, but with a city. (End of this chapter)
