Chapter 87 - The First Battle
Walking into the room, the decoration in the room is extremely simple. In the middle of the room, a three-meter-wide magic sand table shows the terrain around the fortress. A well-proportioned figure is looking down.
He raised his head when he heard someone coming in.
This is an old man with gray hair. The years have left countless marks on his body. His resolute eyes seem to be like a deep pool. , added a bit of blood to the old man.
Are you Bandar's disciple? Why haven't I met you? General Edward stared at Allen motionlessly with sharp eyes.
Hello, Your Excellency General, I'm Alan, a newly accepted disciple of Instructor Bandar. This is a token given to me by the teacher. Alan performed a mage salute, then raised his left hand, and put a ring on his finger .
Edward looked at it, nodded, and continued:
Where is the letter that His Excellency Bandar asked you to deliver?
It's here. Allen withdrew his left hand, took out the letter from the storage bag, and handed it to Edward.
Edward reached out to take the letter, showing that he had checked it once, and after confirming the secret seal, he opened the letter and checked it.
After a long time, Edward slowly put down the letter paper with a solemn expression, and then put away the letter:
I put away Bandar's letter. Your mentor asked you to stay here for a while. After a while, I will ask the adjutant to arrange a place for you to stay. The conditions are simple. I hope you don't dislike it. At this time, Edward is considered He smiled a little, barely said a few words, then called the adjutant outside the door in, and told him to arrange a place for Allen.
Following them out of the tactical room, the two walked towards the barracks behind the fortress. Allen was a spellcaster, so he was arranged in a spellcaster's residence.
At this time, there were not many people in the barracks, and there were various houses for the casters to live in, including tents, tree houses, and some stone houses made of mud turned into stones. It seemed that these spell casters built their own houses.
Master Your Excellency, this is your residence, and this is your ID card. It is used for walking here. Please keep it safe. It will be very troublesome if you lose it. The adjutant took Allen to a row of houses and took it. Handed an ID card to Allen, and pointed to the house in front of him.
Thank you. Allen reached out to take the number plate, said goodbye to the adjutant, opened the door and walked in.
The room is not big, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs. Allen simply cleaned up and stayed here temporarily.
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the fortress began to become tense. Groups of Griffin Knights flew towards the bloody wasteland and then flew back. Many of them were covered in blood, and the smell of sulfur strong.
No matter how dull he is, Allen knows that a war is about to break out.
Knowing the outbreak of the war, Allen felt that he needed to make some preparations, and then found the adjutant and asked for some materials to make props. After the adjutant asked General Edward for instructions, Allen got approval, and then went to the logistics department to select materials.
The chief officer of the logistics department is a guy with a dead face. If it weren't for the body temperature, Allen would think he was a corpse. There is no chance for Alan to secretly get more.
Back at the barracks, Allen rented an alchemy table from an academic mage, and prepared to refine some explosive potions. This potion was researched by Allen, and it was prepared by adding several magic materials to the blood of the swamp slime. of.
The production difficulty is not high. This potion can only be stored for a month after it is produced, and the spell effect is not stable, so it needs to be sealed and stored. However, although there are many disadvantages, it is cheap and easy to make , the power is not small. So it is very cost-effective as a consumable.
Allen tried,
The explosive power of this medicine is enough to kill and injure enemies within three meters. It is not necessary to deal with mid-level demons, but it is just right for cannon fodder that looks like locusts.
Manipulating the mage's hand, Allen prepared it very quickly. After taking out the samples for experimentation, General Edward directly sent a team of mage apprentices over, and then Allen taught them the essentials of configuration.
Then the explosive potion began to be produced at full speed, and this thing quickly swept the entire fortress. The group of mage apprentices under Allen had already started taking turns to rest, make, and make explosive potions day and night without stopping.
Time was running out, and the scouts who had gone out to investigate in the past few days also suffered casualties. Intermediate demons had appeared in large areas in the bloody wasteland. The casualties of this team were the result of hundreds of winged demons chasing and killing them.
Finally, before dawn, the demon army came outside the fortress, and Allen stood on the steel fortress and looked out.
I saw that the open space outside the fortress was densely packed with low-level demons. These demons had no formation and were crowded together in a mess. Allen even saw that many demons in front of the formation fought before they attacked the city. up.
It's worthy of being a tease of chaos since ancient times. If there were not enough cannon fodder and the power of high-level demons, this group of hell bugs would have been wiped out long ago.
In the upper space of the demon camp, a group of Winged Demons hovered in the air. The Griffon Knights and Winged Dragon Knights in the fortress had already taken off.
Falling into the demon camp below, whether it is a winged demon or a griffin rider, they will be caught and eaten by those chaotic demons. At the back of the demon army, a few flames, holding beheading swords and flame whips, stood on the high platform. They should be the demon warlords of the demon army this time.
With a loud roar, the chaotic demon army began to attack the city, another shocking scene appeared in front of Alan's eyes, and countless cannon fodder demons rushed towards the fortress frantically.
Without any siege equipment, how did this group of dwarfs who were only 1.34 meters tall plan to come up, and soon Alan got the answer.
A half-elven general commands the archers.
preparation!
The three rows of archers in front raised their bows and set their arrows.
Forty-five-degree upward shooting, covering blows.
Crash, crash, crash.
The sound of bowstrings is endless. The archers then fired in three batches. A row of archers who shoot bows and arrows takes a step back, another row is ready to release arrows, and then the third row continues. The three teams of archers alternately shoot arrows. The rain of arrows is endless, and countless cannon fodder and low-level demons fall to the ground. It's just that these demons didn't show any fear at all, stepping on the corpse and continuing to rush forward.
Then most of them died at the foot of the city wall, and soon the corpses were piled up into a hill. From time to time, corpses fell from the sky.
Allen finally knew how these demons attacked the city. They piled up low-level demons into hills, and then rushed up by stepping on the corpses.
