When the purgatory worm appears in the city, it means that a more powerful demon has appeared. It also declares that the general defense line has lost its effect. The entire royal city must join this struggle. No one can stay out of it. .
Under the gate of hell in the distance, creatures with blood-red hard shells and horns and big heads walking on short, thick and strong legs shook their heads and walked towards the city from the city wall area. Niugui, a kind of frontal defense with extremely strong power. A demon with amazing destructive power and running speed.
The intensity of the battle has begun to escalate, and more casualties will undoubtedly appear in this city that is beginning to become chaotic.
"Rumble." The ground began to shake, and some residents of the royal city who were confused about the situation looked at the shaking and shaking buildings around them in confusion.
"What's wrong with this?" the street vendor asked his companion next to him in confusion.
"I don't know, it might be a large war machine from some kingdom." The companion shook his head and continued shouting. It just so happened that the city guards who usually controlled them were not around, so he took this opportunity to set up a stall and make a fortune.
The residents of the royal city did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and they had a strong sense of separation from the hell invasion.
The royal city has been peaceful for too long. For these residents, even if a bird-shaped alchemy golem flew from the sky just now to broadcast the news of the invasion of hell, they did not think that any demon could reach here by crossing the numerous buildings.
In fact, most demons do not have the ability to directly pass through a large number of obstacles to reach the main city, but the Purgatory Worm is one of the demons that has this ability.
"Boom, boom, snap." A building that looked like a spire suddenly exploded, and huge worms burst out of the ground from the bottom of the building. While crushing the building, it swallowed the people inside, and then collapsed from the ground. leaping high among the ruins of buildings.
The purgatory worm jumped into the air, adjusted its direction, and slammed down on the frightened crowd next to it. Its serrated mouthparts quickly closed, easily crushing these ordinary residents into a pulp.
The Infernal Worm, which left a huge hole in the ground and a large amount of flesh and blood, disappeared above the ground again, preparing for its next bloody prey.
"Ahhhhhh, what, what's going on?!"
"Devils, demons, how did they get here? Frontline, why didn't the frontline stop these demons? Run, run away."
The crowd began to be filled with chaos and panic. Only when blood and death actually happened in front of them did they begin to realize the seriousness of the matter.
The chaotic crowds began to run around without any order and regularity. The places damaged by the worms were impassable, and the places where people could escape became narrow. Overcrowding and panic caused collisions and squeezing.
Someone fell down, and the people behind stepped on the body of the fallen person without any mercy or pause. The frightened screams of the fallen person were drowned in the chaotic screams and nonsense of the crowd.
The fallen man stretched out his hands to try to grab something before being trampled unconscious, and the unlucky man in the crowd fell to the ground under his grasp, repeating the same fate as the previous fallen man.
The appearance of death made the crowd more chaotic, and the stampede intensified the crowding. A large number of people squeezed into the not-so-wide streets, and the blood here once again attracted the purgatory worms...
The ground vibrated, and the crowd seemed to realize something. They struggled more crazily and tried to escape. However, the more they panicked, the more unable they were to move. People were imprisoned and influenced each other. Then, the next moment, the purgatory worms broke out of the ground...
The crowded crowd was forcibly torn apart by the huge creature, and the high-density crowd gathered together was even more tragically swallowed up by the huge mouthparts.
Broken limbs flew around and blood splattered, but this was only caused by the infernal worms breaking through the ground. When the huge body fell, another large number of people were crushed into flesh by the hard and heavy worm body.
The streets have turned into a bloody purgatory, and this is just a corner of the royal city. The invasion of purgatory worms has occurred throughout the royal city. Starting from the direction of the gate of hell, it continues to spread towards the interior. Buildings collapse, the ground collapses, and residents are trapped. Devouring without mercy.
This semi-elemental demon with the main element of fire as the main element and supplemented by the element of earth can travel freely underground after elementalization, transform into a physical entity when needed, and then break out of the earth, using its powerful physical strength to crush those who prey on it. prey.
They are the natural nemesis of buildings and defense lines. The severity of the disaster escalates as they spread. At this time, closer to the gate of hell, the city guards who form the defense line also face their new test.
The adaptive barrier blocked the wing demons. These hell creatures were temporarily unable to pose a threat to the soldiers, but the cow ghosts, these higher-level hell creatures, had already rushed into the front line.
"Block, block them, don't let them rush in!"
"No, the shield can't hold it at all. Even if a heavily armored warrior is hit, he will lose all resistance!"
The soldiers had no good way to deal with these violent demons. These demons were so powerful that even formal knights could not resist them.
These city guard soldiers, whose strength hovered between high-level knight apprentices and mid-level trainee knights, had almost no resistance to these rampaging bull ghosts.
When the violent bull ghost rushes into the formation of soldiers with the hard shell on its head like a real mad bull, any attempt to resist is no different from seeking death.
The shield under the collapsed wall nearby was broken, the arms were twisted, the body was dented from the chest area, and the corpse with bleeding from all its orifices was a true portrayal of the consequences of forcibly resisting these demons.
Even if he was wearing heavy armor and a shield, he was too weak in front of these monsters. A soldier covered in heavy armor thrust his tower shield into the ground, held it against his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and faced the oncoming enemy. The cow ghost.
Because behind him are the wounded soldiers who are being moved away by the rescue team soldiers. If he does not block the front, the rescue team members who are helping the soldiers who have lost combat effectiveness to evacuate will be crushed by this crazy cow ghost. Corpses with broken limbs.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" The soldier roared with fear. He seemed to know what his fate would be, but he could not retreat. The veins on his forehead popped out. The cow ghost was already close in front of him, and his head was covered with a hard carapace. The horns on it are about to touch the shield.
In this critical situation of life and death, this strong soldier was calm. The crazy secretion of adrenaline successfully washed away all the fear. In the crazy roar, only anger and determination remained.
"Boom!" Niu Gui slammed into the thick tower shield. The hard tower shield failed to play its due role in the face of Niu Gui's powerful charge.
"Crack, bang!" The sound of broken bones was made by the soldier's arms. His arms could not bear such a powerful force, and the violent impact broke his bones.
The sound of gold and iron breaking that followed almost at the same time was caused by the shield being forcibly broken from the middle. Niu Gui's charge forced the metal tower shield into two pieces, and then hit the soldiers hard.
"Bang!" There was the sound of metal colliding with metal again. Niu Gui's hard head hit the soldier's heavy armor. The armor on the chest was hit with a huge force. It was no different from a tower shield. The soldier's heavy armor was dented. , the person flew directly upside down, with a total weight of several hundred kilograms, but now he flew up as if he weighed nothing.
"Bang!" The soldier's flying body hit the wall on the side of the street. The bricks and stones peeled off, leaving a depression on the wall. Blood flowed from the corners of the soldier's mouth, and bright red overflowed from his nostrils.
It seems that it is really the power brought by the desperate explosion. The soldier's arms were "only" broken, his sternum was cracked, and his internal organs were damaged. He did not lose consciousness or die completely. Compared with other soldiers who tried to stop the head-on collision of Niugui and were directly broken in the middle. Pretty good for a corpse.
"Ahem, come again." spitting out a mouthful of blood, the heavily armored soldier showed a difficult and mocking smile on his lips, looking at the cow ghost who also shook his head and looked dizzy after hitting him.
"I'm really powerful." As if he was enjoying the pain, the seriously injured soldier suddenly said this sentence out of nowhere in his mind at this moment. He really stopped the bull ghost's head-on collision. For an ordinary soldier, It is indeed something worth bragging about.
"Chih huh..." Niu Gui shook his head for a while, trying to calm down his brain, which had been dizzy due to the force of the counter-shock and had little IQ. He ignored the soldier and instead looked at those heavily armored soldiers who took advantage of the opportunities created to continue to evacuate. rescue team soldiers.
"Kaka." The stubby hind legs kicked the ground, and dust rose up. This was the precursor of Niu Gui's charge. The provocation of the heavily armored soldiers was just wishful thinking after all.
"Damn it, come and hit me. What are you doing? Look what's going on there. Come and hit me, you son of a bitch! Come on!" The soldier's heart, which had already looked away, suddenly tightened. Unexpectedly, Niu Gui was not interested in him at all. Instead, he became interested in the people in the rescue team again.
"No, this won't work!" The heavily armored soldier struggled and tried to sit up, but the serious injuries on his body made it impossible for him to support the heavy equipment on his body.
His eyes were protruding and bloodshot, staring at the Niugui who was about to charge towards the rescue team. If he couldn't stop the charge, then what was the point of what he just did? His outburst would become a joke!
But after all, he couldn't break out for the second time. The limit of his body made it impossible for him to do anything else. He could only watch the cow ghost's short and thick hind limbs kicking on the ground, speeding up and rushing towards the frightened rescuers. Group of soldiers.
"Ahhhhh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The heavily armored soldier roared unwillingly, and Niugui began to accelerate without any pause, but in the middle of this, an arrow suddenly appeared and pulled An emerald green light track suddenly penetrated into the soft tissue behind the hard shell of Niu Gui's head.
Niu Gui suddenly paused, then lost his balance. Under the inertia, his huge head hit the ground, sliding all the way and then collapsing a house next to the street.
The soldier turned his head to the roof next to the street in surprise. The long bow in the hand of the elf ranger still retained the brilliance of magic. Wang Yu's acquaintance, Wenna, shot an arrow from the roof and completely killed the cow ghost. Kill.
"Drink!" In other directions on the street, a dwarf with ridiculously thick armor directly smashed his hammer on the head of the Niu Gui who was charging forward. The light of thunder flashed away, and the dwarf flew out and crashed into the street. Among the shops nearby.
Niu Gui stopped on the spot. The thick head carapace cracked bit by bit from the middle, and then burst completely. The brain tissue inside, which had been turned into paste by the impact of the dwarf hammer, flowed out.
"Haha! That's awesome!" The dwarf jumped out of the building he smashed, and while shouting with excitement, he rushed towards the other bull ghosts wreaking havoc in the street.
In the streets, figures appeared from nowhere and began to use their own methods to deal with these raging demons, humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and various races. These people had no formation or discipline. They just used their own way to kill the devil.
In fact, they are professionals in this royal city, mercenaries, adventurers, and guild members, with various identities that have not been officially registered.
However, they are also an important part of the power of the royal city. When the main force of the city guard is mobilized to the front line and the Night Blade cannot take action, these people who gather or even settle because of the prosperity and resources of the royal city or other reasons become the defenders. One of the most powerful combat forces in the royal city.
…
"Da da da." Horses wearing golden and red armor rushed through the streets in groups. The knights, magicians, priests, and even rangers who drove the horses all arrived wearing medals symbolizing the royal family. The Royal Forbidden Army arrived. battlefield.
The ground shook in front of the horse team, and a purgatory worm was attracted by these soldiers with extremely strong vitality. It broke through the ground, jumped high and then smashed into the entire team of forbidden soldiers.
Without the slightest pause, the horses showed no sign of being frightened and charged towards the approaching worm with a neighing sound.
"Boom, boom, boom." The mages in the team just waved their staffs, and a huge fireball appeared out of thin air on the path of the worm. As the fireball exploded, the worm's huge body was forcibly blown upside down. stand up.
The next moment, the horses rushed under the flying worms at high speed, and the leading knight pulled out the heavy sword from behind, which was almost as tall as a man. With a sweep, fighting energy came out of his body, and turned into a dazzling sword light after passing by the edge of the giant sword. , sweeping across the worm's body.
"Boom." The worm's hard shell had no effect. It was chopped open like a hot knife cutting through butter. Two pieces of worm corpses were smashed on both sides of the Forbidden Army. The horses jumped over the holes left by the worms. This demon failed. Cause a little hindrance to the imperial army.
"Academy, test attack, first time, launch." The leading knight put the blade back behind his back, glanced in the direction of the Gate of Hell through the observation port of the fully-wrapped helmet, took out a small crystal prism, and pointed it at Crystal said.
"receive."
The next moment, from the direction of Stevenson Academy of Magic, a dazzling light penetrated all obstacles, cut through the sky, and shot towards the Gate of Hell above the city wall area. A huge explosion swept across the entire city wall area.
