As the landed madmen and terrifying beasts were eliminated one by one, the chaotic situation was gradually brought under control.
Agatha walked around the artillery position, and she could see the fragmented corpses of giant beasts everywhere. It must be said that the God's Punishment Witch was unparalleled in combat efficiency under the situation of hand-to-hand combat, and even more so when she was equipped with the new firearm specially made by Her Majesty. It is so. Without their support, relying on the Witch Union alone to deal with these thirty or so terrifying beasts would probably be in a hurry, not to mention the need to guard against the attack of mad demons.
It's just that they seem to prefer the old fashioned way of revenge rather than smashing enemies with large-caliber shotguns. Agatha had seen more than one ancient witch put away her firearm after her opponent lost the ability to resist, and replaced it with a knife, sword or even fist to make the final blow, as if bathing in the flesh and blood of the devil would give them comfort.
It seems that the long wait of four hundred years has indeed changed many things.
The devil probably can't understand why a group of male humans can beat them to defeat, and they are better than them in terms of strength and speed. This unknown will undoubtedly bring fear, so at the time of the last two mad demons, the other party almost gave up resistance, and was finally controlled by the wind that entered the void, and also shot a spear trying to clear the siege. similar.
Now that the replacement artillerymen have entered the position, the four artillery pieces that were overturned by the terror beasts in the melee have also been set up again, and they will soon be able to join the ranks of attacking the enemy again. And the fortress gun that recovered the fastest and was always firing, every shot became an inspiring horn.
"How many enemies are left?" After everyone gathered, Agatha asked Zooey.
"Sixteen, if they don't have new reinforcements." Zooey glanced at the sky, "The flying terrifying beasts lost nearly 70%, no matter what their purpose is, they have already failed to hit this. Not yet. Retreat must be brewing a final attack."
"The final attack?" Agatha couldn't help frowning.
In order to avoid the fire of the machine guns, the remaining demons invariably raised their heights, even beyond the range of throwing spears. If they wanted to approach the artillery position again, the risk would undoubtedly increase significantly. More importantly, everyone is fully prepared at this time, and even if they are forced to throw a spear, they can control the loss to a minimum. Since failure is a foregone conclusion, retreat is the most reasonable choice.
"You used to be a member of the Quest Club and rarely participated in the war directly, so you may not know much about their habits," Zooey explained calmly, "Even an adult terror beast that can fly freely is a great deal to the devil. The more precious individuals can be dispatched so much at one time, there must be a superior commander among these mad demons. For such demons, the mission is always the first, and if they fail to achieve their goals, most of them would rather die in battle , and do not retreat."
"If that's the case, why didn't it rush down at the beginning?" He Feng on the side couldn't help asking.
"Because it didn't find a suitable opponent," Zooey showed a weird smile, "If there was an extraordinary witch between us, it would have come down long ago."
"why?"
"Maybe it's because of their nature," she cast her eyes to the air again, "killing, aggressive, savage and cruel, even if they become more and more human-like, it can't change this... If it weren't for this characteristic, Lord Nataya It is also impossible for the Queen of Starfall to find an opportunity to fight against the high-level demon slayer in the army of demons, and finally break through to the transcendent."
That is to say, the enemy did not join the attack at the first time because he underestimated the enemy, and then refused to evacuate because of his responsibility? Not to mention whether this inference is correct, it is impossible for ordinary people to be able to tell the promotion experience of two of the three seats so bluntly.
Agatha couldn't help but said, "In the federation era, who are you..."
"Lord Pasha didn't tell you?" Zooey smiled, "I was one of the shadow guards of Lord Natalya, and the "Red Lotus" in the Holy Protection Army. "
The Ice Witch found that she had heard of this title. If she was the youngest promoted witch in Taquila and a recognized genius researcher, then Guren was a rising star in the fighting world, a power-type superhuman, and considered the most likely The outstanding warrior who succeeded Natalya.
It's a pity that the federation couldn't last until the moment when the other party broke through.
If I remember correctly, Gulian should be about the same age as him.
But now, there is no trace of the past at all from Zooey.
She seems to have been shaped into another person by time.
"They are coming," Zooey's words interrupted Agatha's thoughts at this moment, "You protect those vulnerable mortals, and just leave the enemy to us."
As if confirming her statement, Sylvie's exclamation came from the listening talisman: "My God, what is that! Agatha, be careful! There are many sources of magic in the enemy!"
In theory, witches can only have one magic cyclone, while devils exert their abilities by embedding magic stones, so they have the possibility of multiple cyclones. For this type of enemy, the federation is collectively referred to as high-level devils, and their strength may vary, but without exception they are extremely difficult opponents.
"Are you okay?" He Feng asked worriedly.
"Ah, don't worry," Zooey said slowly, "The path chosen by the Queen of Starfall may be wrong, but one thing is correct, since the God's Punishment Witch was born, it was prepared to deal with high-level devils."
While speaking, a black shadow emerged from the clouds and rushed towards the artillery position!
The other circling madmen also responded and drove their mounts to dive down. Although the direct fall from the top of the head greatly limited the firing angle of the machine guns in the position, the air defense team arranged in the outer circle was able to pour bullets to the fullest. On the enemy's path, even if the devil used snake-like evasion, he was shot down several times during the approach.
This time, the enemy's spear target was replaced by the anti-aircraft machine gun next to the fort's gun.
There is no doubt that everything they do is just to make the shadow go straight to the core.
While assisting the soldiers to defend against the bone spear, Agatha was surprised to find that the object that fell like a meteorite was actually a gigantic terrifying beast, even larger than Maisie, and covered with black armor on the wings and abdomen, like a piece of A dull crystal. Not only that, but its head and horns should also be sharper. At first glance, it looks a bit like the legendary "dragon".
When it hit the ground, the whole ground trembled, and the dust was blown up by the wind, making it difficult to open your eyes for a while.
Then the terrifying beast opened its bloody mouth and made a series of rumbling sounds.
I saw a tall black armored devil emerge from the wet throat of the fearful beast and stood in front of everyone.
