Chapter 246
Cheng Hui fought in exhaustion.
Countless demons rushed towards the city wall like a tide, and occasionally they were
Blood, corpses...
Cheng Hui fought in exhaustion.
Countless demons rushed towards the city wall like a tide. Occasionally, a blood-red open space would be smashed out by the falling boulders, but soon, the space would be occupied by other demons.
Cheng Hui felt very tired, very tired.
This kind of tiredness is not physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.
These demons seemed to be endless and could never be killed.
Cheng Hui could only swing his weapon numbly to kill all the demons that climbed up the wall.
In this numb battle, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and some strange sensation made him instinctively dodge the sneak attack from behind.
“Who is it?!”
Cheng Hui was shocked and angry. In his impression, there should be a soldier from Xiling Kingdom behind him. Why would this person attack him?
But he soon realized that he was wrong. It was not the soldier who attacked him. The soldier was dead, but his body was strangely stabbing Cheng Hui with a knife.
A large number of soldiers who had come back to life from the dead appeared around and were attacking their companions. For a while, there were heavy casualties on the wall.
"Be careful! The puppet demon is coming! Watch out for your shadow!" Cheng Hui warned loudly.
The puppet demon is also a kind of celestial demon, and a relatively rare one.
But every time the puppet demon launched a sneak attack, it would cause heavy losses to the soldiers on the city wall.
This monster has no fixed shape at first, but after coming into contact with other creatures, it can control the opponent's corpse.
Because they are extremely concealed, they are most suitable for sneak attacks.
Countless soldiers died in every battle, and these soldiers became springboards for the puppet demons. They used their corpses to backstab humans, and many commanders on the city walls died at the hands of the puppet demons.
This time was no exception. The first targets of these puppets were all the military leaders of various legions. Many monarchs unfortunately died because they were caught off guard.
Cheng Hui killed the puppet demon with a counterattack. The puppet itself was not very powerful and could be easily destroyed once discovered. If they were not so well concealed before controlling the corpse, they would have been cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Soon, this wave of puppet demons was strangled to death, but their existence cast a shadow on the hearts of the officers and soldiers on the scene.
If we were to talk about the demons these people hate the most, the Puppet Demon would definitely be ranked in the top three. It's not just because the Puppet Demon is too lethal, but what's even more annoying is that the bodies the Puppet Demon uses to stab in the back are all their compatriots who have just died in battle. This kind of thing is really disgusting.
The battle on the city wall continued. Although the major legions that lost their military leaders quickly selected replacements, their combat effectiveness still declined significantly.
At this time, those military leaders who had luckily escaped the assassination had to bear greater pressure with their legions. For example, Cheng Hui now had to not only defend his own defense zone, but also the defense zone of Xiling Kingdom. He even had to help defend one-fifth of the defense zone on the other side. Otherwise, the legion that lost its military leader might not be able to hold on.
In the numb fighting, Cheng Hui saw that the Demonic Army under the city wall also launched some siege equipment. They did not use these equipment at the beginning, mainly because the combat effectiveness of each legion was still relatively complete at that time, and these equipment were the main targets of everyone's attack.
But this time it was different. The major legions were severely damaged. Except for a few intact legions, most of the remaining legions found it difficult to inspire their military spirit and use special skills.
These huge machines were pushed by a large number of small demons and crashed into the city wall. There was no city gate near Cheng Hui's defense area, so all the machines on his side were used to climb the city wall.
Even though Wei Yuanzhou tried very hard, there were still at least two ladders set up on the edge of the city wall.
The archers had given up their bows and arrows, their arms were shaking constantly, and the sword and shield soldiers and long 'wooden warehouse' soldiers all blocked the archers behind them, but at this time, a large number of demons had already surged up, and the archers had to pick up their long swords and fight.
Cheng Hui was anxious. This battle was indeed dangerous, but it did not pose a big threat to him.
But no matter how powerful he was, he was only one person, and because of his identity as the military leader, he was besieged by many demons. He was almost drowned in the tide of demons and had no energy to help others.
Cheng Hui was extremely anxious. The defense zone where he was located had been completely taken over by the Guangping Army. The soldiers of Xiling Kingdom did not desert, but their survival rate was too low. As far as he could see, there were only a handful of soldiers still alive.
He didn't want his soldiers to suffer the same fate as the soldiers of Xiling State. Even though he knew that there would be no chance of no casualties on the battlefield, he still hoped to save his soldiers as much as possible.
Then he activated his military spirit.
Cheng Hui: ...
It's just... that ball that looks like blood, smells pretty good, and has a gold-rimmed military spirit on it...
Cheng Hui: ..._(:з」∠)_
Don't ask, even if you ask he doesn't know what this thing can do. But at this time, he is the only one who has the energy to activate the military spirit.
As soon as the red liquid appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.
The main reason is that most people don't have the strength, and your sudden activation of such a group of military spirits is bound to attract attention.
Cheng Hui tried hard to recall what the bald instructor had taught him, such as listening to the call of your heart and tapping into your potential... Anyway, it was just a stream of consciousness that gave him a headache.
Seriously, Military Spirit has been around for thousands of years. Isn't there any knowledgeable person who can come up with an instruction manual or something?
He has to dig out each one by himself. If he is more active and has a bigger imagination, can he develop all types of military spirits?
Cheng Hui glanced at his soldiers. Both sides were fighting desperately. Compared with the sword and shield soldiers and the long "wood warehouse" soldiers, the archers were obviously at the most obvious disadvantage.
They had consumed the most physical energy, and even though they were protected at the back, they were still surrounded by danger. Most of them were injured, and the captain Wei Yuanzhou had blood on his shoulder, and one of his arms was almost chopped off.
It would be great if they could gain some extra life-saving abilities.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but think so.
He was anxious and his brain was racing, hoping to find a way to save these people's lives.
At this moment, the ball of red liquid suddenly exploded, splashing all over everyone's head and face.
Cheng Hui: ???
Is it not... Is my military spirit really that useless? Self-destruction is one thing, but what about spraying my own men with water?
Because their vision was blocked, many soldiers were caught off guard and were hit, and immediately screamed.
“Ah…ah?”
I was screaming when I suddenly felt something was wrong... Eh? Why isn't it hurting?
They looked down and saw that they had suddenly gained a set of red armor. All the enemy's attacks landed on the armor, and although it hurt a little, they were not actually injured.
This armor also has gold edges, which looks very beautiful. Moreover, the styles of armor are different for different types of soldiers, which ensures that it will not affect their actions.
Although they didn't know what was going on, no soldier would think too much about it at this time and just did it.
Cheng Hui: (\"▔□▔)
What...what's going on?
The soldiers were blocked from view, but he saw it.
After the red liquid fell on the soldiers' heads, it quickly flowed throughout their bodies and turned into a suit of armor.
That scene...can't be said to have anything to do with Iron Man, it's exactly the same!
However, at this time, there are tens of thousands of Iron Men on the entire city wall. Such combat power...
Before Cheng Hui had time to rejoice, he realized that his wishful thinking was too good to be true.
These armors are only similar to Iron Man's armor in appearance and have more outstanding defensive capabilities, but there is nothing more.
As for those shoulder-fired missiles, palm cannons and the like, he was just daydreaming.
This is not bad, at least the ability to survive has been greatly improved.
Cheng Hui silently comforted himself.
As soon as he put on the red armor with gold edges, he immediately attracted more people's attention...
Especially when they saw that the demon's attack could not penetrate that kind of armor at all, the expressions on their faces became even more eager.
We are all risking our lives, who wouldn’t want a piece of armor with super high defense?!
What a pity...that's someone else's military leader.
With the help of armor, the soldiers were like gods, slaughtering the demons.
Cheng Hui took the time to take a few glances and discovered that the armor was even more powerful than he had imagined. In addition to its exceptionally strong defense, it also seemed to have a small amount of healing ability and some attacking ability... In short, it was extremely comprehensive.
He saw that Wei Yuanzhou's wound, which was still bleeding, began to heal, and the archers, whose arms were almost overloaded, no longer trembled when holding their swords.
The enhancement is quite comprehensive...
Anyway, it's a good thing.
Cheng Hui felt relieved and turned around to concentrate on fighting the demon.
Unknowingly, another four hours had passed. Cheng Hui numbly kicked the demon in front of him, who was pierced by his long sword, off the city wall. In a trance, he heard the sound of a vast horn.
"The demons are retreating!"
"Great! They're retreating!"
The soldiers cheered excitedly, and Cheng Hui shook his head vigorously to get rid of the blood on his face.
The densely packed demons quickly retreated from the battlefield, taking away the corpses on the ground as they left.
The little demons are not a picky eaters.
Surrounded by the crowd and cheered by them, Cheng Hui woke up from the numbness of the massacre and let out a long sigh.
There was a strange smell in the air, but those who had fought in this environment for several hours had already gotten used to it.
Soon, orders came from above for them to regroup on the spot. The walls were littered with corpses, both demons and humans.
The bodies were piled up layer upon layer, and many soldiers tried to find their surviving compatriots among the dead.
The Guangping Army also suffered casualties, but they were not serious. The soldiers smiled with relief when they saw that most of their comrades were still alive.
"Go and help." Cheng Hui said lightly.
The Guangping army saved their lives because of the red armor, but more soldiers died on the battlefield.
Cheng Hui and his team had a complete organization, so they took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cleaning up the battlefield.
The army of the neighboring Xiling Kingdom, despite suffering heavy losses, never retreated a single step in the battle. This won the respect of the Guangping Army, who took the initiative to help them collect the bodies of their compatriots, take care of the wounded, and watch as their only remaining less than ten soldiers silently took away the ashes of the cremated bodies.
Cheng Hui noticed that the atmosphere was a bit heavy and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Okay, another legion will come to take our place next, but we can't go back to the camp. We can only rest on the city wall."
This is also the rule of rotation. Unless the entire unit is destroyed, each legion must fight three battles on the city wall before returning to the camp to rest.
