The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Facing the howling cold wind, standing on the edge of the beacon tower, Tyrael narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the ice sheet outside the city. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.

He had seen this scene more than once. In the Eternal War, he commanded the Heavenly Legion countless times and fought **** battles with the **** army. Fight for artifacts in the Hall of World Stone, and fight the demons that flood in front of the barrier of demons.

But at that time, he was surrounded by angel brothers, and now, human soldiers are retreating on the ice field, leaving behind countless corpses and destroyed siege equipment. The Corrison long bridge connected to the Great Pit of Yarui is packed with densely packed demon warriors. The huge siege beasts are dragging ugly **** equipment and building siege weapons in the ice field before the long bridge and the fortress. Prepare to completely destroy this fortress that stands in front of hell.

They are routing.

Turning around, Tyrael walked down the stairs of the beacon tower and arrived at the armory below.

In the armory, twenty heavily armed soldiers stood around, looking at Liya who was using magic to suppress the Dark Soul Stone in surprise. On the other side of the Dark Soul Stone, Adria was holding his wand and staring at the Soul Stone.

"...The soul stone is getting hotter and hotter, and it is constantly pulsating, violently rebelling against me." Liya raised her hand and dropped her head weakly, her cold sweat falling down her chin, her voice trembling: " They, they whispered to me inside...I heard whispers, they...she..."

"The devil inside wants to escape." Adria encouraged Liya: "Hold on, my daughter, only your strength can keep the soul stone unbroken. This is a heavy burden, but the fate of the world is In your hands."

In a corner of the armory, Vera bent over, silently picked up the arrow in the barrel, and put it into his spare quiver. Li Min stared at the dark soul stone floating in front of Liya with a serious expression, and stroked his chin thoughtfully. Komak and Linden were polishing their spears and daggers. After witnessing the attack from the north, no one took Azmodan's threat as deaf ears. Everyone is preparing for a fierce battle with the **** lord. The atmosphere is depressing and breathless.

"Lia, are you feeling okay?" Ailena held her hands together and looked at Liya worriedly: "Your face looks... very pale."

"I'm okay, thank you, Elena." Liya took a deep breath, her arms trembled, but she raised her head and smiled at the witch: "Its resistance is getting stronger and stronger, but it's okay, I can support it. Got it."

"The anger of the devil is increasing day by day, Leah is brave, but we better act as soon as possible." Adria said from the side, she clenched her hands hard and clenched her fists: "Az must be defeated before her strength is exhausted. Modan, put its soul in the Dark Soul Stone! This war must come to an end here!"

"Of course, Leah." Tyrael came over: "We will do it as soon as possible. Lieutenant Mengti, how many soldiers did you gather?"

"Yes, angel!" A soldier with short shredded hair saluted Tyrael: "There are still 387 soldiers in this section of the fortress. Many more are trapped on the Corrison Bridge. On the battlefield, if they can return safely, our lives can be doubled."

The Bastine Fortress is not a simple city fortress, but an endless fortress group located at the foot of the Yaruite Mountain. The fortress outside the Corrison Bridge was the original structure of the fortress. In the future construction, beacon towers, outer walls, arrow towers, battlements, and suspension bridges were built one after another.

The barbarians did not care about the construction of human beings, so that the Bastine fortress became a fortress group that traverses the entire northern mountain range. In each mountain pass, there are different battlements and fortresses, and between these battlements, there are long walls. Soldiers in different positions can quickly support the attacked fortresses through the walls, and the beacon tower becomes the fortress group. Liaison signal between. A fortress was attacked, and when the beacon was ignited, the soldiers from the other fortresses would immediately set off and walk along the wall to support.

"We must light a beacon to let the soldiers know that we have not been defeated!" Tyrell ordered to the lieutenant: "Assemble guards and guard the drawbridge. The soldiers outside the city are retreating. We can't shut them out. Keep the troops away. Send to the gate of the city, where the demon army cannot expand. Send a group of archers to occupy the arrow tower and support our troops from above. But most importantly, we need more reinforcements from other fortresses, Only then can the devil be beaten back."

"Yes, angel!"

The lieutenant had only respect and piety in his eyes. After saluting, he turned around and shouted to the messenger beside him: "You have heard the angel's order! Let everyone hear the order, Bastine Fortress will never fall! Go to light it. Beacon, call for reinforcements!"

The messengers raised their fists and shouted.

"Vera, I hope you can guard the city wall." Tyrael said to the demon hunter: "I know Azmodan. The siege equipment he built outside the city is just a blindfold. In the eternal battle, he likes the most Send a **** host to climb the city wall. It is a monster hiding in the ground. Like a bug, it can sneak under the city wall when the defenders are unaware, and then suddenly rush out. All the **** demons in its stomach spit out. I am worried that his onslaught on the ice field outside the city is only to cover his real purpose, that is, to seize the city wall!"

Vera nodded: "I will let them come back and forth."

"Li Min, I hope you can pay attention to the basement." Tyrael turned to the female magician: "Azmodan is a master tactician. He will not let go of any surprise attacks underground. I used to fight him on the battlefield. He Lure the angel legion to a predetermined location more than once, and then ambushed it with a monster buried in the ground. He has a legion in his hand that can break through the hardest rocks and go around the city wall directly. If the devil appears underground in the city, there will be soldiers everywhere. Family members, artisans, and residents..."

The Bastine Fortress is not only a military building, but women, children and craftsmen also live here. To be precise, the soldiers here are both defenders and residents. At least living here, they do not need to pay taxes, which attracted many immigrants to Bastin fortress. Below the fortress, there is a huge residential area like a maze.

"Don't worry, if they show up, I will make them regret coming here. Hehe, I want to deal with Azmodan first." Li Min jumped up and smiled briskly: "The King of Sin Huh, when I was in the Sari Sanctuary, everyone called me the king of pranks, I should compare him with him, who is more powerful!"

Chapter 2775-Navigating Obstructed

"Go to Enstinger? No, impossible, no one wants to go to Enstinger now."

A captain waved his hand vigorously and firmly: "Only people who are crazy about money will go there. The goods are sold to the Bastine Fortress, but now, there are monsters everywhere outside the fortress, and I did not go ashore. , I couldn’t see it with my own eyes, but I heard other people say that someone saw the fireworks of the Bastine Fortress far away, and there was an attack. It was a monster from the giant pit of Arit in the north! It might have been bombed back then. The ghost of the dead barbarian is back!"

"What if we can take out a sum of money and hire you directly on this ship?" Zelin tried to ask. When the Wizarding Club was eliminated, he was given a sum of money. On the day when Johanna was in a coma, he exchanged all the heavy gold coins and utensils for easy-to-carry gems and diamonds in Westmar. The colorful gems and diamonds are not only light, they can also be exchanged for a large amount of money in the Demon Hunter World.

Anyway, go back with a sum of money and buy some gifts for other people by the way. Before going to another world, he always remembered to buy gifts and souvenirs to take back home, but in recent times, he often forgets this because of various troubles. Although no one seemed to be unhappy because of this, this time before the demon hunter came, remember to bring some interesting or valuable things back.

But if it was to get to Enstein, he would rather use up all the money in his hands. Compared with some things, gold is not that important. Zelin always believes that he can continue to make money without money, but if something is lost, it will be lost forever.

"No, absolutely not. Do you know what I can rely on to survive on the dangerous sea? Just be cautious. I will never go to dangerous places. There are many opportunities to make money. It doesn't matter if I make less. As long as I can survive, I have a chance." The captain shook his head very resolutely: "Otherwise, when I was young, I would be an explorer. I advise you to dispel Enstinger’s thoughts, the Basting fortress suffers When it comes to the attack, if it can't stop there, Ensteiner will be completely finished."

I asked a lot of captains, but no one was willing to go to Enstinger. Most of the ships in the port turned back from the north. News from the sea spread quickly, although most people couldn’t tell, Enstinger What's the trouble, but they all understand one thing, after so many disasters, no one wants to take the risk. There are terrible rumors from all over the world every day that people are willing to stay in fortress-like cities instead of going out for adventure.

Leaving the trestle bridge, Zelin saw Qiao Hanna coming oncoming. Facing the enquiring gaze of the demon hunter, the latter shook his head: “There is no ship willing to go to sea in the northern port area. The owner is worried about pirates, or thinks that there is a rebellion in Enstinger. I don’t think I can force them to go to sea. My friend, maybe, we have to go to Ensting in another way. You are right, it is indeed possible that the demon army launched the invasion."

After thinking about it, Zelin pointed to the castle above the pier: "Let’s go to the palace, Johanna. The king must send a troop to support the Bastine fortress. They must take a boat, otherwise they will go from land when they leave the country. , Maybe the devil has reached the northern border of Kanduras."

Zelin couldn't figure out why Azmodan would tell Liya about his strategic deployment in his dream. Perhaps he is really confident, thinking that his army can crush all the resisters, so he wants to deceive the dark soul stone to the Bastin fortress in order to **** the soul stone.

The situation in the palace was different from what Zelin expected.

Unlike the disturbing rumors outside, in the palace, the lords stood among the pavilions in the garden, or sat on comfortable benches, talking about the recently arrested Lord Wyton. The waiters shuttled through the courtyard with wine glasses and jugs, like a banquet. The king did not stay in his palace, but went to Akarat Cathedral. An attendant guided Zelin and Johanna who came to visit. After passing through the church door guarded by more than forty soldiers, they saw Gasdine IV who was standing in the depths of the church and was talking with three lord.

This is not the first time Zelin has seen Gasdine IV.

He is a capable young man, probably only thirty years old. His jet-black hair is wrapped in a heavy crown, and his neat beard and gentle face allow him to win a lot of goodwill in his communication with other people. The king wore a fine robe and shirt, and the edge of the shawl was embroidered with golden silk thread. Under the shawl, is a fit plate chest protector. On the left chest of the chest protector is a decorative gold chain and an iron plate depicting the logo of Westerma.

"... Please forgive me, Your Majesty, we can be sure that Wrighton’s family has absolutely nothing to do with Lakis. My family and I can stand up and testify. His family was born out of luck and made money by chance. Money businessman."

The attendant made a wait gesture to Zelin and Johanna.

"Yes, Lord Hammonton, your family has always been friends and most loyal servants of the royal family. I believe you will make the right choice at the right time." Gasdeen nodded to the Lord before him. "Lord Wyton is just a shameless liar, isn't he? His pedigree is entirely based on a set of disguised documents!"

"We will find the truth for you, Your Majesty." Another lord bowed his head in front of Gasdine IV: "I swear it will not be difficult. As long as you can find someone who pretends to claim documents for him, let him come out to testify. We will understand who this honor and identity should belong to."

"I believe in your abilities, Lord Duhurst." The king looked like he sighed: "I entrust you to deal with this matter. I believe that you can share my worries well. I will wait for you. The good news...you will bring me the result I want, won’t you? Forgive me, I have a few other guests to see. I already recognize them, isn’t this just to help me catch Lord Wydon, and the hero who uncovered his conspiracy to peak the kingdom?"

After the two lord bowed their heads to the king, they left the cathedral under the leadership of the attendants. When passing by with Zelin and Johanna, they looked at the two deeply, as if to write down their appearance.

Zelin sighed heavily.

"What's the matter?" Johanna turned her head and looked at Zelin.

"Maybe, we have to go to Enstinger in another way."

Chapter 2776: Choice

"Why?"

"... Then you will know."

Hearing the conversation between Gasdine IV and the Lords, Zelin could already guess in his heart what is the most important thing for Gasdine IV now.

"Welcome, heroes." The king opened his arms with a gentle smile: "Your contributions to Westmar and the Gasdine family will be remembered, and my palace will open its doors for you, if you will , I think the title of a lord should be worthy of your contributions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and may Akarat bless you." Johanna put the shield on the ground, supported the shield with both hands, and bowed her head slightly to the king: "But we have brought a higher and bad news. Bastine has suffered. When it comes to the attack of the devil, the master of the demon army is Azmodan, the king of evil. We need a ship to go to the north to support the battle in the fortress. I wonder if you will also send warriors to Ensting by boat to resist The footsteps of the devil?"

The king was silent for a few seconds, and he lowered his gaze: "This is not an easy decision, my dear nun. Before I noticed, Wydon had hidden too much power in the country. He not only hired thieves’ guilds and wizards." The cultists there, the Knights Templar still has many warriors in Westmar. I don’t know who they will be loyal to, or choose a new commander. I must keep enough soldiers to watch them. What's happening. Moreover, I am very worried about how many of Westmar’s generals have accepted Wydon’s gold, and I cannot risk sending out troops to protect the city..."

"But the demons don’t care about human disputes, Your Majesty." Johanna’s voice is a bit eager: "They will kill all humans seen on the road. The threat of demons is a threat to all mankind. When they appear in your territory, you are King, shouldn't you consider protecting your subjects first?"

"Of course I want to do this. I will protect my kingdom, but compared to the threats far away in the Bastine Fortress, shouldn't I protect the security of Westermah first? Once Whiteon's subordinates set off a rebellion, again I don’t know how many people will die because of this, and I sent a spy to verify the authenticity of the demon attack on the Bastine Fortress..." Gasdine IV’s voice gradually declined. : "As soon as Wyton was arrested, there was a rumor that Bastine Fortress was attacked. I suspect that this may be a rumor released by Wyton’s associates who wanted to transfer Westmar’s garrison. It is convenient for them to rescue their master."

"This is not a rumor, Your Majesty." Johanna frowned. "My friend is from Kartim. Kartim was recently attacked by Belie, the king of lies. The little emperor Hakan II has died and the power of **** has been revealed. Fangs, can't ignore it anymore."

Gasdine IV was taken aback for a moment.
