Chapter 280 Scheme

The tug-of-war at the top of the city continues. The battle becomes more and more cruel. Both sides repeatedly tug-of-war, persisting, and every step forward or backward, their heels will be immersed in blood.

At this moment, the defenders on the front line could no longer support it. The city defenders had realized that the giant sword soldiers had fought for too long and were exhausted and had to be replaced.

Adel saw that a force had already assembled a little further away. It was not an elite giant sword warrior, but a relatively ordinary halberd-held soldier. The non-commissioned officer at the front of these soldiers had gray hair and a huge scar on his face. He held his weapons firmly with his firm hands.

Adel recognized that he was his father, a staunch veteran, an officer in the garrison in the city. His troops were all composed of veterans who had been through many battles. Although they were not selected soldiers like giant sword warriors, they were a trustworthy army. The lords have always regarded them as their last reserve.

Since the old man has appeared here, it means that this is already the last defensive force in Gaohua City. Now, the Chaos Legion has launched a full-scale attack. Although this siege tower is the core and focus of the battle, the battles in other places are also very fierce. Even the lords have no other troops to send.

"Remember! Brothers!" Although we were far away, Adel could hear his father's voice. "We fight for our family and for our friends! Don't let the enemy go beyond the line!"

With a perfect tactical action, the veterans replaced the retreating giant sword warrior, roared and rushed into the blood and smoke. Faced with this sudden counterattack, the Chaos Warrior had to retreat. The veterans were experienced and not only did not leave room for attack for the enemy, but instead caught the Chaos Legion off guard. The Chaos Warriors fell into a brief chaos. The veterans took this opportunity to stab the halberd into the enemy's body and added dozens of corpses to the city.

Adel saw his father fighting a Chaos Warrior who looked like an officer. He avoided the opponent's battle axe, and then used a hook and halberd to cut into the gap in the enemy's ribs. Just a spin, the Chaos Warrior who was extremely fierce just now was only howling. Taking advantage of the opponent's chance of losing balance due to pain, the long halberd pierced into his throat without armor protection and quickly ended his life.

However, the bass and sad horns still echoed. Behind the Chaos Warrior step by step, the shaking siege tower was like the mouth of a monster, and another enemy had rushed out of the mouth, as if a deadly flame was gushing out of the dragon's mouth. However, this wave was even more deadly than the flame. Adel recognized these berserkers who were terror, the elite of the Chaos Legion, extremely dangerous and bloodthirsty warriors. At this time, these Chaos Warriors had fallen into bloodthirsty fanaticism. When they were in this state, they did not care about casualties at all and would fight until the last person fell down.

Adel's heart sank, he knew his father's situation was very dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, the situation of the battle turned back again. The veterans lined up in neat rows, trying to use the long halberd array to resist the enemy's charge, and the berserkers had a demon-like laugh on their faces, colliding with the enemy's array from the front. The pierced berserkers grabbed the long halberd that pierced their bodies with one hand and waved their weapons to split the other's head.

In just a very short moment, all the soldiers on the first row of both sides were injured and killed. The terrifying berserkers pressed the veterans tightly, forcing them to retreat step by step.

"No! No! No!" Adel suddenly hated his incompetence. Then, with the perception of magic, he suddenly realized that a powerful magic was condensing in the air.

That was not the magic of the defenders in the city - because in the previous battles, the defenders had done their best, and almost all the magicians exhausted their energy. Although Adel had to stand firm with a cane, he could believe that he was one of the best people in his best condition.

It's the evil magic of chaos! The young magician suddenly felt extremely desperate. Such powerful magic energy was condensing, which would be a powerful spell. Once this magic hit the head of the city, it would mean that the final resistance would be defeated, and the Chaos Legion would sweep everything!

Wait... it seems...is there...is something wrong?

The energy of the magic wind was extracted, but these energy was not controlled by a certain will. Adel suddenly discovered the blessings of the gods - at this moment, the Chaos Wizards made a fatal mistake - they spent a huge amount of energy to extract energy, weaving magic, but ignored the control of the will.

Almost without thinking, Adel controlled the magic in that state of unruly state with his willpower. The enemy - the Chaos Wizard who was casting spells - did not resist at all, which means that he might have drawn more than his limits, resulting in his inability to continue to control the magic. In any case, Adel seized the mistake made by the Chaos Wizard.

The next moment, lightning burst out from the magician apprentice's hand, swept across the battlefield at the city and jumped violently between the enemy troops.

This is not enough, the magic energy has not been exhausted yet.

Adel's hand was wrapped with a spiritual flame. He fired a huge fireball, and in the blink of an eye the siege tower turned into a high-temperature hell. The Chaos Warriors who were still in the siege tower let out painful howls. The magic flames engulfed everything, and the high temperature of the flames even melted the steel armor. The flames continued to fire. This time, Adel shot it at the enemy gathered under the city, which turned into a sea of ​​burning and screaming. The hungry flames continued to spread, and even the Chaos Warriors who wanted to continue attacking had to stop and avoid the blazing heat wave.

This gave the musketeers and crossbowmen the city to the best target of attack. Steel arrows and bullets knocked down a large area of ​​enemies.

The knot... ended... Adel exhausted his last strength. Two crossbowmen rushed over in surprise, holding their exhausted heroes, and slapped the remaining flames burning his robe for him. Before Adel fainted, he saw his father and several veterans stabbing the last stubborn terror warrior to death on the top of the city.

A short time later, the Chaos Wizard Lord, Marvin, welcomed the blood-tooth Lord's rage in his tent.

Just now, the Chaos Legion was really only a little short of victory. Victory was so close that it could be reached with a hand. However, the two magics at the critical moment changed the entire battle situation. Someone must be responsible for this mistake, and the person who seemed to be responsible was undoubtedly the leader of the Chaos Wizard, Marvin, and Tsengchi's believers.

Lord Blood Tooth is a Chaos Lord who is deeply loved by terror. You can understand this by just looking at his appearance. Lord Blood Tooth is wearing a thick layered armor in charcoal black, layered with a terror mark made of some kind of glowing stone on his chest. The shoulder pads, like crocodile scales, shining false light, proving that this is a precious magic armor. He bent his back and leaned forward intimidation. That was the iconic body language of the Chaos Lord.

The face of the Blood Tooth Lord was very strange, with too many scars engraved on that face. The face that should have been calm and handsome had been completely deformed. Perhaps it was because he had received too much favor from terror, or the severe trauma that had been suffered from the side and back of the head (this scar is very conspicuous and cannot even grow hair), which caused him torture from time to time - the pain made the muscles on his face always on the edge of spasm. So it is easy to understand why everyone thinks that the Blood Tooth Lord always looks like he is about to be furious.

Of course, for the Chaos Lord, there is much more praise than ridicule.

The Blood-Tooth Lord narrowed his blood-red eyes and looked at the cunning Chaos Wizard in front of him. His deep murderous intent was condensed on him. Even in chaos, the terror's command was a terrifying existence - they never gave any reason when they killed people. Just as many people know - and this is also a fact - for the terror warrior, the difference between the enemy and the comrades is to kill first.

"...this is the truth." Marvin ended his defense with this sentence. Marvin spoke very smoothly, with sufficient reasons and full of verbal guidance skills. But he also knew that the Blood-Tooth Lord might not hear what he said at all. The terror warrior needed only to satisfy his bloodthirsty desire, and nothing else. Marvin seemed to be drooping his eyelids respectfully, and his gaze was on the hands of the Blood-Tooth Lord.

The hand was holding the battle axe tightly, and because of the excessive force, his finger joints had turned white. This showed that he might start a sudden attack at any time and kill Ma Wen.

"You are lying!" Lord Blood Tooth said slowly. He did not point out where Marvin's logic was wrong, so this sentence was 90% of it. However, the bluff of the terror warrior is more dangerous and fatal than the critical rebuttal. Because reasoning is obviously a joke to the believers of terror.

"Their magic is too powerful..." said Marvin. "There are much more troops stationed in this city than normal. The same is true for magicians."

"They are not as many as your subordinates, and Sagas has told me this." Perhaps reason prevailed, or perhaps Marvin's modest attitude satisfied the Lord of Blood Tooth, whose hands tightly grasped the battle axe were relaxed.

"There are insufficient quantities to make up for quality." Marvin replied. "Half of my men are apprentices, and the city should be full of sophisticated magicians."

What he is talking about is a fact, a fact that is extremely easily misleading.

"Lord of Blood Tooth, you gave us too little time... You launched the offensive in advance. According to the initial plan, we should have been in White Fort at this time."

This is still a fact, although the conclusion derived from this fact logic is not a fact.

"I need time... I need time to mobilize people. Now, because I am on the front line, the speed of my convening subordinates has been greatly slowed down." Marvin sighed. "I suggest you wait patiently for a while. At that time, we will have overwhelming power to let those southerners taste what real magic is."

“…”

"In addition, I have a small proposal... Of course, it's just a proposal. The enemy seems to have gathered all the magicians here, perhaps this means there is nothing worth mentioning in the scattered castles around?"
