With one relatively new shield after another, the young demon's next attack did not gain much advantage over the Bayerjans' phalanx.
Not only that, the Bayerjans archers in the rear also drew their bows and shot at the commander's command.
Accompanied by a round of volleys, although the arrows made of animal bones or demon bones could not cause much damage to the enemy, it was enough to make the demons busy and harass them.
Afterwards, the elves who were standing on the high ground built by the soldiers with their shields in the rear and taking aim gave the Brotherhood their reward with practical actions.
"Bang-"
Gunshots rang out one after another. The Bayerjans were amazed at the strange weapons on the ground, and the demons in the distance suffered great damage.
Because the elves would not shoot at worthless demons. The enchanted bullets in their hands were specially prepared for high-level demons.
After a round of volleys, the eyes of the two fire-breathing demons that launched the charge were pierced by bullets.
With their heads severely injured, these demons staggered and almost fell to the ground, but a high-level demon suspended in the air that looked like an octopus and a rooster suddenly inserted a catheter into the body of the injured demon.
With a burst of purple light, the injured parts of the high-level demon were healed.
The elves were stunned, exclaiming, "Demons also have healers?!" They directed their firepower at the high-level demons that specialized in healing.
Bang-
Another volley of fire. But this time, the bullets only made a few cracks in the barrier raised by the demon. The demon looked a little weak, but it was a real spellcaster.
"Don't attack that demon! It doesn't have any ranged combat capabilities. It heals other demons by consuming its own vitality! Attack the others, attack the others!"
A female Bayerjans noble waved her dagger and shouted:
"Hit the eyes of those fire-breathing demons! Don't let them rush in! Our warriors' shield wall can't withstand the lava! Quick!"
The elves nodded. After confirming the demons' weaknesses and targets, they were more adept at dealing with high-level demons.
There is no other reason. If these demons could be as huge as their ancestors, perhaps the Gappa 1404 rifles in the hands of the elves would not be able to cause much damage, and might not even be able to break through the defense.
But these demons are less than half the size of their ancestors, and their strength may even be only one-third of those ancestors!
Such a weak high-level demon who had not even eaten a full stomach was just a target for the elves - but even if they were targets, they were too tough!
When the shield wall began to fight with the young demons and larvae that broke through the stone net, the elves fired more than five rounds of volleys. As a result, this volley not only failed to kill the fire-breathing demon directly, but the opportunity for the fire-breathing demon to receive treatment gave other high-level demons the opportunity to approach to a distance sufficient to threaten the phalanx soldiers.
A giant toad-like demon howled and spat out acid, but halfway through the acid, a tall golem blocked its way.
Zi-
Even on a battlefield filled with shouts and cries of killing, the sound of acid corroding stone and soil was still too harsh.
Under the gaze of the elves, Naruga's golem was corroded by half of its body? !
"If we let that thick phlegm spit directly into the shield wall, will the Bayerjans be able to withstand it?! Change the target! Change the target! Attack the toad that the healing demon can't reach!"
The elves shifted their target, and at the moment when a bright green light emerged from the toad's throat, the elves fired another round of volleys.
This time, far away from the healing demon, the elf's bullet played its due role: the bullet went straight through the toad demon's magic barrier, and the next moment it pierced the flesh of its throat.
Countless thick acids leaked directly from the gap. The toad demon roared angrily and tried to spit out the thick phlegm in his mouth, but the acid was still accumulating and poured out directly from the gap in his throat.
This time, the bright green acid did not spray onto the golem, who only had half of his body able to move, but instead sprayed onto the demon's own army!
The acid directly corroded small holes in the ground. Even a demon larva would have half of its body corroded if it passed through the green smoke, not to mention the mortal Bayerjans!
Fortunately, we didn't allow these high-level demons to launch an attack on the positions at this stage. Fortunately, these demons don't have firearms on the Nut Ground and have not evolved a structure to resist shooting. Fortunately, our regent has brought us reforms!
The elves breathed a sigh of relief.
Then in the next moment—other high-level demons rushed into the shield wall, leading the demons to try to create a breakthrough.
The female noble had disappeared. The screams of the Bayerjans before their death continued. And it was at this moment that they finally heard the words they had longed for:
"The roots have been cleared! Send the signal quickly, send the signal quickly!"
The elevator is ready to go down!
The elves looked at each other, and one of them put down the rifle in his hand and transmitted the news from underground to the ground with the maximum magic output.
On the ground, it was already dawn.
The sun shone on the surface of the elevator platform, and the coalition of elves and golems was ready for battle.
Yang Hao and Theresa stood in front of the elevator control panel. Finn said beside them that the signal had been sent and they could descend.
Princess Purple nodded and placed her hand on the control panel. She used her own blood to confirm her ownership of the control panel. Now, she gave the order to lower the elevator.
It was just that the elevator had been sealed for a long time, and it would take some time to descend. With the shaking of the earth and the gradually louder sound, the purple princess said in a voice that only Yang Hao could hear: This is Yang Hao's last chance.
"This is your last chance, Yang Hao. I don't want you to make a choice based on my opinion... I hope this is what you really think, just like you said to me at that time.
This is your last chance. This is your last chance to transform me from the "Purple Princess" back into the "Mother Theresa" you knew me as.
The elevator has not yet descended... I can stop the elevator at any time. Naruga and the elves have a magic spell that I secretly cast with the power of "light". They will return to the ground the moment I stop the elevator, so you don't have to worry about their safety...
What are you going to do
I... I can give up my country for you, give up the millions of people below, and give up their trust. I... just want you to make your own choice from the bottom of your heart.
Because after becoming Barcelosa, I really can no longer love you without any conspiracy like before... Do you know?"
The princess in purple felt the shaking caused by the operation of the elevator. The soldiers underground looked anxiously at the rumbling dome. Seeing this, the demons launched a desperate and futile charge.
"When the time comes, I will use you for the Bayerzas Empire. I will use your love for me, I will love you selfishly, and I will sell you out for my country!
Is this really okay... Is this really okay? Yang Hao, my little dog... Please think about it seriously... Do you really want to be betrayed by me once
Just like a little witch, just like a little saint, do you really want me to betray you like them one day? Do you really... "
Before the purple princess finished her whisper, His Majesty the Regent gently put his arm around her shoulders and said:
"Then Theresa, use your conspiracy and love to tie me up in a place where the Bayerzans Empire will not betray me, okay?"
Princess Purple was silent for a while.
The moment when the elevator finally started to work, carrying thousands of elves equipped with rifles, dozens of golems of various colors, and several elven wizards slowly sank.
She sighed loudly, raised her head, turned around, and gently reached out and slapped Yang Hao in the face under Fen's astonished gaze:
"Then prepare yourself, my Caesar, my Basilius. I, Theresa Justiniana, swear... I will never let you escape from my grasp, never... never."
"Do I need to kneel down and pledge my allegiance to you now?"
"You were already on your knees when you said that. Don't be a fool, Caesar. Get ready. It's going to be hard."
Arrogant and high-handed.
The Purple Princess is always the nun the Regent knows well.
And at this moment, the elevator sank.
For the first time in thousands of years, sunlight from the surface shone underground.
This will be the final battle between Bayer and the demons of the past.
Chapter 11: Bayerjans' Victory, Your Basilius 8K -4
When the first ray of golden sunlight from the surface shone through the gap of the descending elevator onto the underground, all the Bayerjans people shed tears.
They fought hysterically with the demons that were so close to them. They continued to maintain the stability of the shield wall at all costs. They climbed on the high-level demons like ants.
They knew they had won. They knew their children could live in the sunlit paradise on the surface, but before that, they needed to wipe out the demons in the underworld.
"For Basilisa, for Bayerjans!"
The warriors of Bayerjans shouted loudly. Not only were they not pushed back by the demons' charge, but they actually moved forward a few steps.
The moment they moved forward, the machine gun golems and elf shooters on the elevator opened fire.
The deafening sound of gunfire echoed throughout the underground space. If the rifles in the hands of the elves only had a "non-lethal effect" on ordinary high-level demons, then the big guns in the hands of the machine gun golems could actually take the lives of high-level demons.
The 30mm gold-plated shells were engraved with a large number of enchanted patterns, and the explosive ore wrapped in the warhead caused a violent explosion the moment it pierced the demon's body.
The high-level demons suffered heavy casualties from the golems' shooting, and the elves' shooting created a blank area in the middle of the demon army in an instant.
The Shield Wall of Bayerjans fought alongside the Brotherhood according to past practices.
They carved out a space in the demon army, using their own corpses to create a safe shooting area for their elven allies.
All Bayer jans are saying, we won. We won.
The Bayerjans who had some energy left turned around and looked at the slowly descending elevator.
There, the white-haired princess in purple was watching them. Finn the elf was watching them, as well as the man standing next to the princess.
They are all watching and waiting.
The people of Bayerjans took a deep breath, raised their shields high, and thrust their daggers between the gaps between the shields.
"Push forward! Push forward!"
The phalanx army advanced forward, and the elves slowly descending on the elevator relied on the decreasing height advantage to launch a series of free volleys at the demon army.
Howitzer Gorem took this opportunity to directly fix the incendiary bomb with a tracer on the elevator and smash it into the back of the demon.
Not all demons are immune to the burning of flames. Even the fire-breathing demon only has extremely high resistance to flames.
His body surface would still be burned by the high temperature, not to mention being poured directly on by boiling fuel
But even so, the demons still did not stop their steps. They continued to advance towards the human front, bringing rounds of casualties to the Bayerjans, while also trying to gain a glimmer of hope for their own nest.
But unfortunately, the elven wizard will not give them a chance.
At the moment when the magic power on the surface flowed downward through the opening, the ancient elven tree on the surface released the elven magic and thrust a vine gushing with countless magic power into the ground.
The elf wizard cut the skin of the vines the moment they entered, and after the magic power filled the entire space, they and Finn chanted the strategic magic from thousands of years ago.
Maybe the demons are scary, maybe every high-level demon has the ability to resist strategic magic -
But the ones who appeared here were not real high-level demons. They were just ten unknown "high-level demons" who were so hungry that they looked pale and skinny and couldn't even use their abilities too often!
Under the vines summoned by the elves, these high-level demons quickly became a breeding ground for the spread of the vines.
But if that's all, there's really no way to completely kill these high-level demons who are still resisting.
"Kill that floating octopus!" The elf who had been fighting underground for a long time reminded his companions who had just arrived, "That demon has the ability to transform its own vitality into healing effects! Kill it, and the other demons won't be able to hold on!"
"I know! But the question is where is the floating octopus you mentioned?!"
"It's there... Eh? Why is it gone?!"
The healing demon, regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the elves and the Bayerjans, hid behind the other high-level demons. Its body was no longer as strong and huge as before.
If the healing demon at the beginning was a mature and powerful beast, now it is just a dead branch that may be blown down by the wind at any time.
It has provided too much life to its kind. Even for a demon, it is already too weak to regenerate.
It was destined to die, but before it died, the healing demon transferred its last bit of vitality to its fellow tribesmen who were being beaten back step by step!
Accompanied by a high-pitched scream and visible fluctuations, the elves and the Bayerjans saw that behind the high-level demon, a purple light appeared in the underground illuminated by the sunlight!
The healing demon sacrificed all traces of its existence. Along with the purple light, surging magic power and vitality were infused into the bodies of all the surviving demons.
All the larvae grew directly into young bodies at this moment, all the young bodies wailed and turned into half high-level demons at this moment, and all the high-level demons also recovered from all their wounds at this moment, shouting for battle again.
A special demon that appears only once every few hundred years tries to keep the ancient demon species alive with everything he has! But unfortunately, the demons have been away from the surface for too long...
Underground, not only the Byers Empire showed an ancient evolution that could only adapt to the underground environment, but also the ancient demon population.
Simply restoring the body, simply evolving the larvae, and simply increasing the strength of the army are simply not enough to compete with the weapons in the hands of the reformed elves.
Following another round of attacks from the elven wizards and machine gun golems, the demon army that had recovered under the sacrifice of the healing demons was defeated once again.
Those rejuvenated demons broke through the exhausted Bayerjans' defenses in an instant, and were surrounded and destroyed in the next moment.
But they still caused serious casualties to the Bayerjans. Real lives.
But just saying this still won't affect the battle situation.
Just like the Roman Empire could not fight against the current elven army no matter how many militias it had, the demons were already outdated. They had been outdated for so long that no matter how hard they tried, they could not keep up with the times.
They were perfect in the past.
But just like a perfect match can never be as efficient at starting a fire as an imperfect spray gun.
They are out of date.
…
After Bayerjans obtained the assistance of the coalition of surface elves, their war against the demons has reached a stage where they are unstoppable.
