Chapter 44: Bloody Battle in the Sewer
It is not only devout belief that can provide the power of faith; extreme fear and hatred are also a kind of faith.
The crypt spiders of Shadow Weaver's Lair fear the Demon King's power and praise his magnanimity.
They first have to imagine a specific concept in their minds, and then they can inject the belief called praise into it and let the fictional power continue to move closer to reality.
On the other hand, the Earth Dragon Clan, who had been humiliated to the extreme, hated the Demon King to the core.
They constantly depict the evil of the devil in their subconscious and inject the belief called hatred into it.
Although this gave them a common enemy, it also caused their enemies to take away the faith that should have been dedicated to the Dragon God.
The evil god is also a god.
Myths about evil gods are, of course, just myths.
The weak demon kings were not worthy of being the enemy of the Dragon God, but their faith, which was as strong as steel, made this possible.
Even if this possibility is very small, it is like a feather falling on a giant.
The ubiquitous wishing opportunities respond to people's desires without distinction.
This is probably the most terrifying and unreasonable thing in the world.
Deep in the first layer of the maze, old priests and young temple warriors were leading a huge army.
Apparently they hadn't realized how noisy the resonance effect of marching in unison would be in a small maze.
The earth-shaking noise unsurprisingly alarmed the humans living on the surface.
Especially the latter, who had also experienced a great war, was like a frightened bird at this moment.
Sneaking around the corners of the maze.
The experienced adventurer skillfully cast a wind magic Insight, trying to observe the movements of the lizardman army.
However, as luck would have it, the person standing in front of him was Morrag, the first high priest of the Earth Dragon Clan.
He is proficient in dragon spells and has the strength of adamantium level. He is best at inflicting various states and countering various elemental magics! "Rat!"
Morrag recited the dragon language, his eyes wide open as he looked up into the sky. A ray of golden light seemed to shoot out from his amber pupils, shattering the black iron-level magic in an instant.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The scout who was performing Insight was caught off guard, the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes burst, bleeding, and he fell to his knees, covering his eyes in pain.
Seeing the miserable state of their companions, the faces of the adventurers suddenly changed.
"Xuer!"
"Damn it...it's Dragon Language magic! It must be those lizards!"
Although no specific information about that unit was obtained, one thing was beyond doubt.
That's the Demon King's army! No mistake! "Retreat!!"
The battle between armies is the job of the regular army. They are just adventurers, not even locals, so naturally they have no interest in grabbing such a thankless job.
Carrying their injured companions on their backs, a group of people quickly ran towards the position of the Silver Pine Town Militia.
At this moment, Commander Adlai was directing the militia to place chevaux de frise and obstacles in the corridors of the maze.
In addition, militiamen who used to be miners hid explosives in wooden boxes that served as roadblocks.
Looking at the adventurers running back from the front, Adlai immediately asked loudly.
"What's going on ahead?"
The adventurer carrying the wounded man shouted immediately.
"It's the Demon King's troops! They're coming!"
As soon as Adlai heard the word "Demon King", his palms were covered with sweat and he almost couldn't hold the knife.
However, when he thought that this was only the vanguard and that there were bigger ones to come, he mustered up all his courage and stayed on the front line.
"Line up! Get ready for battle!"
The militiamen who were still setting up obstacles immediately put down the half-built barricades and rushed back to their team as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the Lizardman scouts also came to the front of the formation, chasing the injured adventurer.
The Lizardman scouts were shocked when they saw the neatly-formed line of infantry.
When he heard the noise in front of him, he thought it was the Demon King's troops, but he didn't expect that those who came to support the king were actually humans from the surface!
No time to hesitate!
At the same time he saw the other person, the human transcendent standing in the queue also noticed his presence.
"Enemy attack!"
The leader of the first row drew his saber and gave the order to attack without hesitation!
"Fire!"
Pah pah pah!!
The boiling flames instantly gushed out, spewing thick smoke and flames into the maze ahead! Several lizardman scouts who rushed into the corridor were instantly torn to pieces, and were shot into sieves by the lead bullets. They fell to the ground without even a scream.
pretty!
Looking at the miserable state of the devil's servants, Adlai, who was originally a little nervous, immediately regained his confidence.
He clenched his fists, squeezed the sweat out of his palms, raised his saber and shouted loudly.
"One row retreat!"
"Second row, get ready!"
The militia in the first row immediately turned around and retreated to the end of the team, while the militia in the second row also rushed forward with their rifles.
Their training was pretty good.
Although they are not as good as the regular army, no one dares to slack off in their usual training as they are sitting on such a big powder keg.
Just as Adlai was nervously waiting for the next wave of attack, the high priest of the Earth Dragon Clan, Morag, was stunned by the intensive gunfire.
It’s not just Moerrag.
The temple warrior Zerrick, who was following closely, also had a solemn expression on his face.
"Those are Archduke Campbell's men?"
As one of the former devil's thousands of minions, he had certainly heard of the reputation of Grand Duke Campbell.
It is said that the human holding the lance was like a god on the battlefield, and with just one blow he blew away Reggie Dragun and his guards, leaving nothing behind!
Although the only person standing here was the servant of that human, the guys holding the fire sticks were obviously not to be underestimated! "Eighty percent of them are." Moerrag frowned, and a trace of fear appeared in his amber eyes.
How come the human army is here?
besides--
Why at this time?!
Even if Morrag racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out. Those humans were not coming for him at all. They just gathered a large army during the sensitive period when the undead appeared in the maze, and he just happened to run into the muzzle of the gun.
However, even if both parties vaguely guessed that this might be a misunderstanding, it would be impossible to stop things when they had developed to this point.
Adlai, who was hoping to take credit and be transferred quickly, could not admit that this was a misunderstanding, nor could he negotiate with the devil's minions, let alone turn his back to the monster.
There is no way Morrag would stop. Blood debt must be repaid with blood is both their belief and their culture.
If you want to blame someone, just blame these humans for being blind and standing in their way of revenge.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Two trains traveling in opposite directions collided violently in this narrow maze.
Neither side will back down.
There is no reason to give in!
After confirming the casualties of the scouts, Morrag recited a spell in Dragon Language, granting the vanguard troops reflective scales, and issued an order to charge.
"Go! Children! The Dragon God will grant you indestructible bodies!"
Fifty lizardmen holding double knives quickened their pace and rushed forward, pulling the bowstrings while running at top speed, relying on their nimble movements and the rapid rain of arrows to cover them as they crossed the obstacles on the ground, and rushed towards the human soldiers' positions at lightning speed! "Fire!"
Adlai decisively gave the order to open fire, and a burst of gunfire rang out at the same time.
The flames of the explosion flashed again, and a noisy rain of bullets poured down on the running Lizardman Hunter.
However, this time is different from before.
Although there were still many Lizardmen who fell to the ground in pain after being shot, more Lizardmen managed to withstand the fatal wounds!
"It's the Lizardman Priest!"
"Evil and crooked!"
Adlai cursed, and immediately reached for the pendant on his chest with his right hand, activating the wind barrier.
Almost at the same time, arrows rained down like rain and in just a few breaths, the militiamen in the front row fell down.
The priest sent by the town church to support them immediately cast the Holy Light spell to heal them. However, just as the gentle light shone on the militia's position, the running lizardmen came over! The swift scimitars and sharp teeth immediately set off a bloody storm on the militia's position.
but--
These militiamen are not vegetarians either.
Even when faced with the huge and majestic Lizardmen, they still did not turn around and flee. Instead, they quickly inserted their bayonets, stood shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors to form a human wall, and engaged in a bloody hand-to-hand combat with the leading Lizardmen troops.
"Don't use holy light! Disperse their evil spells first!" Looking at the priest who was still casting the holy light spell, Sheriff Adlai yelled and almost swore.
However, the old priests did not bother with him. They slowly changed the spell and used the holy light to dispel the greasy scales attached to the lizardman's skin.
As the reflective scales were dispelled, the group of lizardmen warriors holding scimitars immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Especially those guys who were stuck too deeply were stabbed into bloody holes on the spot.
But at this moment, the second wave of Lizardmen army had already arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the mighty army, Adlai knew that the main force was coming, so he decisively swung his saber and sent the commando team composed of adventurers to finish off the task, while also covering the retreat of the injured militia.
At the same time, the new shooting team had completed shooting preparations in the rear.
Looking at all the adventurers who had retreated, Adlai once again gave the order to attack.
"Fire!"
The fire and smoke from the explosion once again filled the entire corridor. The torrent of flesh and blood collided with each other amidst the roar, and soon turned into hand-to-hand combat.
The high priest of the earth dragon clan chanted spells in dragon language, and the bloodthirsty lizardmen charged forward wave after wave.
Bathed in holy light, the militiamen fought back with bayonets in their hands and fired alternately at the orders of their superiors to suppress the lizardman hunters who were drawing bows and arrows in the rear.
The killing officially began at this moment, with broken limbs and heads flying in the air!
Both sides have extraordinary people, and both have the protection bestowed by the gods! The scene of blood and flesh flying not only shocked the adventurers present, but also shocked the three skeletons riding spiders not far away.
Qianli's expression was tense, and he couldn't help but clench his fist that was holding the spider's head.
Although she had played many bloody games, the realism of this game still made her doubt... Is it really okay to be so explicit? Will it really not teach children bad lessons?
You shouldn't send activation codes to children, right?
Baili, on the other hand, was shouting "Wow" and "Awesome" as if he was hoping for chaos in the world, looking like he was not very well educated.
Wanli, who was standing between the two of them, had a sharp gaze, with the soul fire of ambition burning in his eyes.
Sure enough, he was not wrong—
This is exactly the game he has been looking for!
The feeling of standing on a horse with a sword in hand, commanding an army, and coming to kill me if you are a brother... He hasn't experienced this for a long, long time!
Long Xingbaili looked at him.
"Boss, how long do you think they will fight?"
Long Xing Wanli shook his head.
"have no idea."
Long Xing Qianli: "We just wait here?"
Long Xing Wanli didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at the dark corridor behind him.
Two skeleton soldiers were walking towards them, they were Hu Wan and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Let's first listen to what our military advisor has to say."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: “……?”
