Chapter 45 Both sides suffer losses!

The fighting power of the Lizardman army was beyond Adlai's expectations.

As the former centurion of the Levies and current sheriff of Silverpine Town, he didn't dare to brag about being a veteran of hundreds of battles, but he had beaten up mere lizardmen a few times.

Although these guys look fierce, their organization is extremely poor. When they get together, they are no better than the thugs in the underground streets of Thunder City.

In his impression, the battle lines held up by the Lizardmen alone would often be defeated before the fifth round of volleys, and then they would either be chased by the Knights of Grand Duke Campbell or be bombarded into the sky by the brothers of the artillery regiment...

However, he never expected that these guys who had never won a foreign war would be so difficult to deal with in the maze!

It wasn't just the human commander Adlai who was confused. Morrag, who was standing in the lizardman army, was even more confused than the former.

In Morrag's impression, although human muskets are terrible, they are far from deadly.

Considering the reload speed and excess penetrating power, this thing may not be much better than their bows and arrows.

In comparison, they were more wary of Grand Duke Campbell's Knights and Magical Corps... but it was obvious that neither of them was here.

Standing here are just over 800 farmers holding fire sticks!

As for the extraordinary powers, the only one who can cast the spell is an old man in a cloak, and his strength is probably only at the peak of the bronze level.

In addition, there were a few guys who looked like adventurers, who could only cast the Black Iron-level spells or combat skills over and over again... These juggling tricks were nothing compared to the power of his Dragon Language! As for the five priests in white robes, they were obviously also Black Iron-level, but perhaps because of the blessing of Saint Sith, the range of their spells was significantly increased.

With this little fighting power, it should not be enough to stop his army, but for some reason, the young men of the Earth Dragon Clan could not rush through even with all their strength! The battle was at a stalemate, and the casualties on both sides were rising sharply! Both sides felt a little regretful, but no one dared to shout stop.

In such a narrow maze, whoever backs down will die. There is no retreat at all!

Morrag once again tried to cast Dragon Language magic and threw a dragon breath bomb at the crowd in front.

However, the holy light enveloped the human soldiers again, like a white barrier like a wall, not only swallowing up his dragon breath bullets, but also injecting holy power and courage into the human soldiers standing in the front row! Moerlag was completely anxious, watching the young men of the Earth Dragon Clan continue to suffer casualties, so he no longer held back and took out the magic power that was originally prepared to deal with the Demon King.

"You are courting death!"

He chanted the spell in Dragon Language, with golden light emanating from his eyes and a faint golden light appearing from his tightly closed mouth.

Seeing that scene, Chel, the president of the Silver Pine Town Adventurer's Guild, suddenly changed his expression and cried out in surprise.

"Dragon Roar! Quick! Use Holy Barrier!"

"Do you think my magic power is infinite?!" Matt, the priest of Silver Pine Town Church, cursed in a low voice with a pale face. A trace of fatigue appeared on his face that had been at ease before.

Not just him.

The four priests who cast the spell with him were all panting, with a last-growth blush appearing on their old faces.

In particular, one of the elderly pastors vomited blood and sat on the ground, leaning against the wall.

The extraordinary power possessed by the other party is obviously superior to theirs!

They relied on the holy artifact enshrined in the Silver Pine Town Church to barely block the dragon's breath bomb, but they didn't expect that the other party still had the energy to continue casting spells! Saint Sith...

He shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!

If it weren't for that damn sheriff's sweet talk, telling him that he could easily make a contribution by following along, and then be transferred to a church in a prosperous district in Thunder City... he would never have had the brains to enter some maze!

Just as Father Matt was cursing a certain stupid sheriff, the certain stupid sheriff also wanted to slap himself twice.

Without a doubt.

Things are screwed! Adlai scratched his head but couldn't figure out why the Demon King's army was so strong. Why did the Lizardmen, who were about to collapse at the first blow, not run away when they got here? !

Although the militia currently has the upper hand, the other side still caused considerable casualties to them through brute force and sorcery.

There are more than a hundred bodies lying on the ground, and countless people are injured!

Even if he can win this war in the end, it will be a miserable victory!

Transferred after meritorious service?

It’s good that the sheriff’s hat hasn’t been taken off!

"Sir! We can't wait any longer!" The leader who was fighting in the front row turned around and shouted, "Light the fire! The brothers can't hold on any longer!"

Adlai gritted his teeth, figured it was time, and finally waved his hand to give the order, using his final killer move.

Since its power was difficult to control, he had intended to save it for use when he had to escape.

"ignition!"

The fuse was lit.

A faint spark quickly followed the soles of the lizardman's feet and rushed to the wooden boxes scattered in the maze corridors.

The battle was intense at the moment and no one noticed the abnormality under their feet.

Almost at the moment when Morrag used the "Dragon Roar", hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded immediately, and the scorching flames instantly tore apart the surrounding lizardmen soldiers! The power displayed at that moment far exceeded the magic of the fine steel level! It even reached the silver level!

Moerrag's dragon roar was completely vulnerable to the terrifying power and was easily drowned in the aftermath of the explosion! Not only that -

The boiling shock wave was like erupting magma. After sweeping the Lizardmen's position, it quickly rushed towards the Silver Pine Town Militia without distinguishing between friend and foe! Everyone had no time to dodge and was hit by the scorching shock wave. They fell back in pieces like wheat crushed by a storm.

It's not just Adlai.

Everyone present, even the gunners who had served in the artillery regiment, underestimated the power of hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploding in a confined space! But there was nothing that could be done about it.

Compulsory education existed only briefly in the history of the Kingdom of Ryan, and the Enlightenment and the liberation of thought were suppressed from all sides by theocracy and "supernatural divine power".

Even though the world already has something like the steam engine, and even has improved it, most people only use it as a kind of "alternative supernatural power."

Including the explosives given to them by Isaac IV.

Impact dynamics? What is force?

The horrific explosion quickly swept through several maze corridors, not only engulfing the warring parties, but also engulfing several players who were hiding in the distance to watch the excitement! Fortunately, they were standing far away and only suffered minor injuries.

The people and lizards at the center of the explosion were in a miserable state. Some were buried by the collapsed tunnels, while others were blown so badly that not even a complete body could be found.

In the dust.

Adlai stood up unsteadily, leaning on the scabbard. He looked around blankly, revealing deep despair.

The casualties were innumerable.

Father Matt was lying in the corner dying, and President Chell was unconscious with his eyes closed.

And his men... including the guy who urged him to light the fire quickly, most of them were nowhere to be seen.

His Adam's apple moved and his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.

here……

It was hell!

An angry roar suddenly came from a distance, interrupting the sadness and fear in his heart.

Adlai quickly drew his sword and stood up, only to see a murderous lizard man walking out of the shadows in front of him, holding a scimitar and staring at him intently.

There was a fierce light flashing in those amber pupils, and that ferocious expression made it seem as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Adlai swallowed his saliva, and even though his knees were shaking, he still mustered the courage to fight.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

bring it on!

It's death anyway.

perhaps--

For him who has lost everything, death would be an easy choice...

…

On the other side, Luo Yan, who was in the Demon King's territory, was still looking in the mirror.

Or to be more precise, he was thinking about his faith value that was jumping up and down.

Something was wrong with this thing since this morning. It grew well at first, but then it fell off as it grew.

How come this thing is jumping up and down like A-shares...

He was very puzzled.

Although the daily growth value is still hovering around 2,000, the net worth will not fall below 1,000 if the expenditure remains unchanged.

But this thing doesn't have a setting like a limit down, and he couldn't make up his mind whether it would fall back to where it rose from in the blink of an eye.

What about faith? What about loyalty? How can one stop loving someone just after falling in love? Luo Yan was puzzled.

In these few short hours, he didn't seem to have done anything inappropriate.

etc!

Could it be that it fell off because it was not done? Luo Yan suddenly realized.

Just as he was thinking about who to persecute today, Youyou's voice had been shouting for a while.

"Master Demon! Arachdo is here with your servants!"

"All of them are labeled green? Please give them names!"

"Ahhh!! Lord Demon, something terrible has happened! Let's put the naming aside for now, the Lizardmen are attacking us!"

"Wait, I heard from the players that they seem to have fought with humans?!"

"Earthquake! There's an earthquake in the maze?!"

"Stop making so much noise. Can you just talk about one thing at a time?" Luo Yan replied impatiently. Suddenly, he stood up from the ground with a start. "Wait, lizardmen? They're fighting with humans?!"

He had expected the Lizardmen to attack him, and he had already made preparations in the hall at the entrance of the maze, just waiting for them to come and kill him.

But what the hell are humans?! Are they adventurers?

But...that's not right.

In his impression, adventurers would not clash with groups of monsters. Those guys were all like Chris, bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong.

Although he planned to use the humans on the surface to deal with the Lizardmen, he never thought that a direct conflict would break out between the two.

"Yeah! I heard from the players that it seems that the human army has entered the maze..."

When he said this, Youyou paused for a moment and whispered in an awkward tone.

"Uh...it happened a little suddenly. It seems like the fight was over just now."

As the "land god" of the Demon King's Territory, Youyou can only move around in the Demon King's Territory and near Luo Yan, and has no way of going to the front line in person to see what is going on.

The information it conveyed to Luo Yan was basically second-hand information from the official website, so there was no way around the time delay.

Also, sometimes players will exaggerate, which is also possible.

Although Luo Yan didn't take the group of lizards seriously, he had to be more careful about the humans on the surface.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up from the ground and put the mirror he had been looking at for a long time back into his pocket.

"Issue a mission to the players in the Demon King's Territory and have them gather at the entrance to the maze!"

"Also, have Arakdo wait for me down there!"

"Got it!" Youyou immediately did as she was told after receiving the order.

Luo Yan poured the potion he had just prepared into the flask, then walked out of his workshop.

Fight in this demon lord's territory!

If he doesn't collect a toll, then he, as a devil, is too much of a human being!
