The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"How can this happen? I have never heard of it... Well, this is important, but my spy has not returned any news yet, I can't be sure. Of course I will support Bastin fortress, as long as I I can be sure that the so-called demonic invasion is real. It is indeed an army of demons, not one or two lunatics and cultists, who summoned a low-level demon and rushed into the residential area to terrify the women and children inside." As if to find an explanation for himself, Gasdine IV breathed a sigh of relief: "I suspect that what happened in Kartim was just a coup, and the victorious party repayed the blame to a mad woman and the so-called **** demon. Body."

Johanna seemed to want to say something.

"Hope your spy can bring back good news as soon as possible, Your Majesty." Zelin said, "Please allow me and my friend to leave. In any case, we have to go to Bastin fortress."

"No problem, of course you can appear anywhere in Westermah. Bastine Fortress is also one of Westermah's territories." Gasdine seemed very happy to end this conversation first. He was somewhat Uneasy: "If you are willing, I think someone in the Chamber of Commerce will send you a ship. Please forgive me, I can provide you with a carriage, but I want to go overland from Westmar to Enstinger It’s too far away. If it weren’t for the mobs many years ago, I could have sent a fleet to **** you..."

"Thank you again for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zelin nodded: "Let's go, Johanna."

"Send our hero away, waiter, by the way, please take out some gems and gold from my warehouse." Gasdine IV said to the guards around him: "Escort them away, and remember, they are welcome here. "

After they walked out of the palace, Johanna asked Zelin doubts.

"What are you thinking?"

"For the king, the most important thing now is to clean up the mess left by Wydon, clear his power, avoid his subordinates to counterattack, and pull himself off the throne." Zelin shook his hand and chuckled slightly: " Believe me, if we don’t leave here, but insist on the King’s support for the Bastine Fortress, they will soon wonder whether we are partners of Whiten, or that Whiten is just a stronger usurper. The thrown chess piece. Believe me, no one can be neutral in front of them in this situation. If you don't stand on the side of the king, you are on the side of Whiteton."

"It makes no sense at all."

"Sometimes, no one will reason with you." Zelin coughed lightly: "It doesn't matter, since the king refuses to send people, we have to go too."

"Do you rely on your legs?" Johanna joked, "Or, should I nail a pair of horseshoes to my boots?"

"I...I have a way to reach Bastin fortress as quickly as possible, but..." Zelin thought for a few seconds, and finally he sighed heavily: "The closest person to me is a mage. She knows a lot of weird spells and some interesting research, so don’t be surprised no matter how surprising you see it, and, Don’t ask me what’s going on, I don’t know."

"Really?" Johanna raised her eyebrows: "If you say that, I'm becoming more and more curious. Could it be that you can rush to Westmar from Kartim in a few days because of you A mage friend?"

"You can think so too." Zelin nodded, "But... we must go lightly."

Chapter 277: Battlefield Convergence

The howling cold wind blows the smoke from the distance into the Bastin fortress.

"Quickly, pull up the trebuchet under the elevator!"

A lieutenant kept waving his hands. The recruit, wearing only a simple cloth and leather armor, bent over, lowered his head, ran out of the tower, and rushed to the open space next to the tower under the cover of the battlements. There is a huge rectangular depression in the middle of the open space, and three turbines stand on the edge of the deep hole. The recruits rushed to the runner, grabbed the rope in front of the runner, and pulled forcefully. The runner rotates slowly with the rope, pulling up the elevator hidden under the pit.

A terrible roar came from the soldiers' ears.

"They know we are here!" A soldier opened his eyes wide and stared around in horror: "It's a siege beast!"

The first thing that appeared was a pair of sturdy and sharp front claws, which hooked the battlements like sickles, making a piercing noise.

"Block it, kill it, don't let it stop the trebuchet!"

Behind the sharp claws appeared the maggot-like head of the **** host. The slender body was close to the city wall, and the cross cracks on the head spread out, exposing a mouth full of sharp teeth. Several soldiers rushed up, before they could get close to the monster, holding the mace, the **** warrior with bright red skin jumped out of the host's mouth, jumped onto the city wall, and screamed at the human soldiers.

When the two sides collided, the body of the **** demon was stronger. Many soldiers were knocked to the ground. The demon unstoppable killed the recruits who dragged the trebuchet, but more human soldiers holding spears and shields blocked their way. Countless spears stabbed the demon from different directions, and the monsters full of black blood fell to the ground, and more monsters passed the corpses of their companions and killed the enemies in front of them. The soldiers who had resisted the host of the **** were long gone, and were overwhelmed by the demon warriors rushing out of the host of the hell.

"Lower your head!"

With a low drink, the lieutenant turned his head and saw a woman wearing a black tight leather armor and a red scarf holding two crossbows. She leaped from the sky crown battlements and rolled forward as soon as she fell on the wall. The crossbows continued. Shooting, several demons who wanted to bypass the defense to attack the recruits fell to the ground with arrows.

"Get down! Get down!" The lieutenant hurriedly shouted to the soldier.

Although the dozen or so soldiers in front did not understand what had happened, their compliance with the military order caused them to subconsciously fall to the ground.

Several strings of grenades tied together drew an arc in mid-air, over the top of the soldiers' heads, and flew towards the host who opened his mouth, still spitting out the **** warrior. The bomb flew between the two **** fighters and slid down the host's open throat.

Bang!

The host's body exploded violently from the middle, and the internal organs and the demon that had not yet vomited were shattered in the explosion, splashed with blood on the wall, or sprinkled under the corner of the city. The front paws of the host of **** were still holding on to the wall, but the gradually losing power made it slide downward. In the harsh screams, the upper body of the **** host finally fell off the city wall and fell heavily to the rocks below, pressing the **** corpses of other demons underneath.

The soldiers slowly got up, patted the blood and snow off their bodies, and cheered Vera: "It's our warrior!"

"Tianduocheng Guan is saved!"

Vera seemed to have heard something. She raised her head and stared at the sky that was stained white by the wind and snow. The recruits returned to their posts and pulled the wheel of the elevator again. The lifting platform slowly rises, exposing the top of the trebuchet.

"Be careful over your head, squat down!"

The **** bats screamed and swooped down, Vera pulled the trigger, and two **** bats hit the battlement with arrows in their foreheads, and slashed out a few meters on the wall, only to stop when they hit the pile of demons and human corpses. But the third **** bat caught a recruit who could not dodge and flew into the sky amidst screams. The demon hunter subconsciously raised his weapon to aim at the demon, raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the devil's back. The bat neighed and fell into the cliff with the recruits caught in the claws.

"Pickett, no!"

A recruit lying on the ground screamed in pain.

Vera silently watched the direction the recruits fell.

"Hurry up and put the trebuchet up!" the lieutenant yelled, "Don't be in a daze! The devil is still attacking, seize the time the warrior buys for us. Don't stop, recruits!"

At this time, there was a melodious scream from the sky.

The recruits subconsciously hugged their heads and lowered their heads to avoid being caught by **** bats.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

The lieutenant looked at the figure that appeared in the sky in shock. This is a huge flying creature with four sharp claws, and its wings are more than four meters wide, perhaps longer. This monster has an eagle-like head, and its pale brown feathers shine with metallic luster. He had never seen such a monster, but after the **** army surged out, it would not surprise him that any monster appeared in the pit of Yarek. After all, in the past many years, **** monsters were only part of the legend.

"Hurry up and find cover, hurry up!"

The shooting tower on the city wall has long been turned into burning rubble under the bombardment of the **** catapult. Without the cover of the arrow tower, the flying demon can hover over the city wall unscrupulously, ready to attack the soldiers below.

The soldiers ran to the battlements to see their warriors still standing on the spot, putting away their weapons.

"Hell demon is coming!" A soldier waved at Vera.

"...Don't worry." Vera raised her head and watched the griffon land after hovering above her head: "This is our ally."

After the griffon arrived, the flying behemoth quickly drove away the **** bats in the nearby sky. Those thin bats were not griffon opponents at all. Without threats from overhead, the defending recruits quickly used the elevator to pull the trebuchet from the fortress to the wall.

The fortress’s trebuchets are hidden underground to avoid loss in the first wave of attackers. This strategy was very successful. Although the Hell Catapult destroyed the arrow tower and outpost, the fortress's Catapult did not suffer any losses. When the giant trebuchet with a height of nearly ten meters was put into the battlefield, the giant rock burning with flames crossed the sky with the tail of smoke, and the pressure on the soldiers defending the ice camp was instantly reduced.

"Where are Adria and Leah, Vera?" Zelin asked eagerly.

"Lea suppressed the Dark Soul Stone in the city's armory." Vera glanced at Johanna, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, but she still calmly answered Zelin's question: "Li Min and her attendants went out of the city to deal with Aziz. Modan, Adria is walking with her, and Tyrael, he can't wait to use the holy sword to cut off Azmodan's head."

"Adria went to deal with Azmodan?"

"Yes, I can't keep watching her. I think it's more important to protect Liya than to follow her." Vera stretched out her hands helplessly: "What about your investigation? Is this woman the result?"

"Of course not. Her name is Johanna. She is a priest." Zelin introduced Vera, and then looked at Johanna: "This is Vera, a demon hunter. We will fight in Kartim together. There is Tristram. I did find the answer, Adria, she is a member of the Wizarding Society!"

Vera froze for a moment. Afterwards, the Demon Hunter sneered.

"When I see you next time, I will send her to see her good friend, to hell!"

"It's nice to meet you, my friend, your hatred of the devil is uplifting and disturbing. May Akarat's kindness bless you." Johanna nodded to Vera and rubbed her forearm. , I sniffed, and the tip of my nose was a little red: "Excuse me, can I find a warm place, and change an armor first? Akarat is on, I suspect that if I continue, I will become an ice sculpture. Devil!"
