After the war with the two lords Chiyou and Lanrong, the Dark Moon Territory repaired a fortress on the only way to Chiyou.
This fortress was built four hundred years ago when the Beelzebub clan rebelled, and after it was breached by Emperor Bai Ye, it has been abandoned. Later, Bai Ye died in the battle of the human world, and Black Yao controlled the Fallen Angel Empire, and "entrusted" Prince Green to Dark Moon, and controlled Dark Moon's economic lifeline with the help of Chiyou Lord Zhuoqie, wishing that Dark Moon would be weaker, It is even more impossible to repair the fortress.
After defeating Zhuoqie in the battle of Leith Town, the control of the entire Chiyou territory has actually fallen into the control of the dark moon under some secret means, but Xia Ya still listened to Chen Rui's opinion , built two fortresses. One is the Blue Pool Fortress in the Blue Pool Mountains to the west, currently guarded by Tim, the head of the Moon Shadow Legion. The second is this abandoned fortress named "Moonlight".
The scale of the Moonlight Fortress is not very large, but relying on the mountains to connect with the winding city wall, it is not only a fortress, but also a pass.
Behind the Moonlight Fortress is Dike Town. The terrain around Dike Town is rugged and dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Further south, the town of Leith is a wilderness with no danger to rely on. For the army, it can be regarded as a smooth road. To the south of Leith Town is Jumo Town, the last barrier of the dark moon, and the importance of Dicko Town can be seen.
The mission of the Specter Legion this time is to break through the Moonlight Fortress and occupy Dike Town, the first important stronghold in the Dark Moon Territory.
Under the purple moonlight, Nesta led the cavalry regiment into the territory of the dark moon, marched carefully all the way, and came to the vicinity of the moonlight fortress.
Looking at the brightly lit Moonlight Fortress under the hillside, Lieutenant General Troy whispered: "General, the whole army is ready, should we launch an attack immediately?"
"Wait a little longer, tell the soldiers to keep in line, keep an effective distance, and don't reveal their whereabouts." Nesta was waiting for the signal from Nei Ying.
It is very difficult to attack a heavily defended fortress with 20,000 cavalry alone, but Nesta has considerable confidence in completing this task, because the Lord of Chiyou, Zhuoqie, has already planted internal support in the Moonlight Fortress. Not only that, but also the imperial capital There are also inside lines among the fortresses. Regarding the dark moon's conspiracy, it is not a day or two for Hei Yao to plan. Although many dark threads buried in the past have been pulled out by the dark demon, there are still fish that slip through the net.
With these two double insurances, they should be able to attack Moonlight Fortress both inside and outside. At present, the imperial capital coalition army is still far away on the way. Although Dark Moon is well-prepared, the main army will definitely not be mobilized so quickly, so the next step is to take Dike Town in one go. It is not difficult.
With the mobility and attack power of 20,000 elite cavalry, as long as they occupy the convenient location of Dike Town, they will not be afraid of being killed by the Red Blood or Flame Army. In case of failure, Nesta also has absolute confidence to retreat unscathed. Of course, before retreating, he will burn, kill and plunder Dike Town completely, and let the rebels like Dark Moon know the fate of resisting His Royal Highness the Regent!
The first sword that cut into Dark Moon's throat was Nesta, the strongest cavalry regiment under the King Regent's command. Sent by the "ghost" ruled by Lucifer!
The information from the internal response was very accurate. The Shadow Cavalry pulled out several scout points along the way, bypassed the magic traps that could trigger warning signals, and indeed approached the Moonlight Fortress without being exposed.
At this moment, most of the lights in the fort suddenly went out at the same time, and then thick smoke and flames could be seen faintly, and a chaotic sound came.
As soon as Nesta was refreshed, he saw a signal soaring into the sky, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack!
With the sound of the horn, a row of cavalry rushed towards the Moonlight Fortress like a torrent, and soon broke through the magic circle in front of the fortress, and began to attack the main entrance.
The warning of the enemy attack came from the fortress, and some soldiers appeared on the city wall, holding bows and arrows to attack the cavalry. Because it was too dark to see, and the phantom army was well equipped, it was difficult to cause effective damage.
Soon, the sound of fighting began to appear on the city wall. It seemed that the internal response was causing trouble. There were fewer and fewer soldiers shooting arrows. The Phantom Legion easily took over with minimal casualties.
A big demon walked over with dozens of people, and was immediately surrounded by soldiers. The big demon hurriedly shouted: "I am one of my own! Please see General Nesta!"
Nesta had previously noticed that the big demon led people to kill the defenders of the fortress. Most of the corpses in the fortress were caused by these insiders, and signaled the soldiers to let the big demon come over.
The great demon made a military salute: "General! I am Hardy, Lord Zhuoqie's subordinate. Just now we set fire to the supplies in the fortress, causing chaos, and destroyed the magic crystal cannon in the fortress. We have successfully completed the order of the Lord Lord. .”
"Hadi, you did a great job!" Nesta praised without hesitation. If the internal response is not activated in time this time, even if the fortress can be taken down, it will pay a heavy price. Although it is a pity that the supplies of the fortress were burned, but now that the Moonlight Fortress has been breached, there will be no hindrance in the logistical supplies coming from Chiyou Territory.
"General, there is one thing... I want to report that the identities of Solo and others sent by the imperial capital have been exposed. In order to win the trust of the guards, I had no choice but to kill them myself. Please forgive me!"
Nesta shook his head indifferently. Compared with successfully winning the fortress, the price is almost negligible: "Your handling is very correct! Don't worry, you are not only innocent, but also made great achievements! Now I want to lead the army Chasing the defeated army and raiding Dike Town, do you know the current situation of Dike Town?"
"There are three strengthened guards there, but without the main force of the legion, they will definitely not be able to stop the general. Dark Moon never expected to be attacked before His Royal Highness the Regent arrived. At present, the Moon Shadow Legion is still in Xilang Mountain, and the main force of the Scarlet Blood Legion is in the dark. In Moon City, the main force of the Flame Legion is in Jumo Town. However, according to my estimation, after occupying Dike Town, the main army of Dark Moon may make some moves, but it will definitely not arrive in Dike Town in time."
Nesta nodded slightly, put away the last bit of suspicion in his heart, this information was in line with what he had obtained, and the morale of the whole army was high at present, just in time to rush to Dike Town in one go. As for the Flame Light Legion of the Dark Moon, even if they got the news from here, due to the distance, they would not arrive in time.
"I leave a team behind to guard the Moonlight Fortress with you. Kanita, the son of Master Zhuoqie, is currently in the Bloodmist Valley. I have sent a magic signal, and he will lead the army here to respond as soon as possible."
Nesta has led the army for many years, and he is not mediocre. Although this Hadi is the internal support of Lord Chiyou, and his performance is outstanding, there should be no problem. The whole fighting process seemed too easy. Just in case, a team is still left here. Even if Hardy makes any moves, they can be easily suppressed. Besides, Carnita, the son of Zhuoqie, has already set off from the Blood Mist Valley where he is stationed. It is only a matter of time before he reaches the Moonlight Fortress. .
Without the slightest hesitation, Hardy immediately saluted and said, "Obey! General!"
Nesta nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the lieutenant general Troy: "Reorganize the team immediately, and set off towards Dico Town at full speed. We must take Dico Town in one fell swoop before the enemy reacts!"
Looking at the cavalry who disappeared into the night, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of the great demon who had made a "great contribution".
Nesta led the elite cavalry all the way towards Dicko Town. It was late at night and early in the morning, the cool wind was bitingly cold, and cold mist was floating around.
Nesta secretly calculated that although the terrain is not suitable for cavalry to run, but at this speed, it shouldn't be a problem to reach Leia Town before dawn.
For some reason, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, did he miss something crucial
correct! Defeated!
There are not many corpses in the Moonlight Fortress. The main guards of the enemy army must have escaped. According to the speed of the cavalry, even if they stayed in the Moonlight Fortress for a while, they would definitely catch up with the main force of the defeated army. The deserters, but none of the main parts have been seen
The more Nesta thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "The whole army slow down! Stop advancing!"
Twenty thousand cavalry is not a small number, especially when they are still running at such a high speed. If they stop without slowing down, they will fall like dominoes.
Just when the army slowed down, Nesta suddenly heard some strange voices, and an inexplicable chill came from his heart.
There were bursts of bowstring sounds, "Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh..." There were rapid arrows piercing the air in all directions.
"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"
"Beware of enemy archers!"
"Not good, there are also in the back!"
The bows and arrows on both sides of the valley were like torrential rain, splashing towards the shadow cavalry, and it was unknown how many enemies there were in the dark night.
Why didn't Nesta know that he had been tricked, and shouted angrily, the power of the Demon Emperor's domain expanded and turned into two huge wings, enveloping the nearby soldiers, and the arrows fell on the wings, turning into two huge wings. The powder disappears.
Many powerful people have also begun to adopt effective defensive measures. But these are only personal strengths, even Nesta's wings can only protect hundreds of nearby cavalry. The terrain of the nearby valley is rugged and narrow, which is very unfavorable for cavalry combat. The arrow seemed to have armor-piercing magical properties, and it easily penetrated the cavalry's leather armor, while the small round shields equipped by the light cavalry could not effectively protect such a large area of indiscriminate shooting, and there were screams everywhere The sound and neighing of horses, many soldiers have fallen in the blink of an eye.
"Ansp!" Nesta yelled loudly, and a red light flew up the valley in response to the sound. The speed was so fast that it made people look sideways.
Ansp. Greta, a strong man in the first stage of the Devil Emperor, the veteran of the Greta family, Black Yao specially arranged the strongest guard around Nesta, and only obeyed Nesta's orders. The supreme commander in the demon army is not the most powerful. Among the famous generals in the demon world, there are very few strong ones who have reached the realm of the devil emperor, but without exception, they are all handsome talents who are good at strategy and commanding troops.
In the wars of this world, the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor are equivalent to heavy weapons, while the army is equivalent to conventional weapons. Although personal force occupies a very important position, the strength of a team should not be underestimated, especially a well-trained legion. Unless there is an absolute gap in force, no lion will be willing to face a group of wolves who are not afraid of death, especially when the power consumption is huge after fighting the opposing lion.
The strength of the Devil Emperor class is indeed extremely powerful. Anspu appeared above the valley in a blink of an eye, waved his hands repeatedly, and several balls of flames sprayed down. Two balls hit the rock, and the hard rock was instantly melted. Make coke.
At this time, there was a sudden drizzle in the sky, and the flame defense, which was enough to melt rocks, encountered some nemesis, and it shrank rapidly in the drizzle, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Anspu was taken aback, and only heard a woman's shout, a green light had already flew towards this side rapidly, Anspucha saw that the opponent was coming menacingly, and his strength was not inferior to his own, so he didn't dare to neglect, and turned into a A red light greeted him.
After a muffled sound, two colliding rays of light flew backwards, the green light quickly stabilized his figure, and the red light seemed to be much more embarrassed, Anspu was secretly startled, the woman's aura was obviously the same as his. At the beginning of the Devil Emperor, the strength is still above him!
The woman quickly flew over again, the two rays of light were entangled, Anspu couldn't get away for a while, let alone deal with the ambush archers, and shouted: "Go!"
Nesta's heart sank. Unexpectedly, the opponent also has a strong Demon Emperor, and Anspu may not be the opponent. Obviously this is a trap. If there is any luck for Dicko Town, the entire army will definitely be wiped out It was dangerous, and staying here would only distract Anspu, so he ordered the retreat immediately and decisively.
"Turn the horse's head and retreat!"
Although the dense arrows around them caused considerable damage to the cavalry, and they were intercepted by the arrow rain from the ambushes, they should be able to rush out with the impact of the cavalry.
Under Nesta's command, the cavalry turned their horses one after another, and Nesta shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys orders, the phantom charges! Open!"
In an instant, the bodies of all the cavalry were illuminated with dark red light at the same time, their running speed suddenly doubled, and they ran desperately towards the way the Moonlight Fortress came from.
This is a special skill of the Phantom Legion. It uses magic props to activate the magic array on the saddle of the horse. It is a powerful mode that combines manpower and horsepower. In this state, the speed and attack and defense will increase a lot, but there is a certain time limit.
"Phantom Charge" is the greatest magic weapon for the cavalry regiment to defeat the enemy, and it is the first time to use it to escape. The windy cavalry troop, covered in blood-colored brilliance, galloped away braving the rain of arrows.
Just before breaking through the siege, Nesta looked back at Ansp who was fighting against the green light in the air—without the encumbrance of the cavalry corps, this comrade-in-arms of the Demon Emperor should be able to escape smoothly.
It's just that Nesta, amidst the intertwined sound of arrows and screams, didn't hear the woman's voice faintly in the air behind him.
"Olypheus!"
"I want to practice hard, stop that guy, and the thousand black crystal coins will be yours!"
"Aww..."
