A sudden noise from outside interrupted everyone's discussion. Hao Ren turned his head to look at the palace exit: "Is it La Nina leading the people here?"
But in the next second, he knew that he had made a mistake, because what followed was a series of piercing screams and continuous explosions!
"Enemy attack!" A demon hunter warrior suddenly flashed into the hall, wrapped in a flowing mist of magic power, "The east tower is attacked!"
Tutan had sensed to look at the weapon rack not far away before the noise outside, and when the enemy attack alarm sounded, he disappeared in front of everyone in a flash, and he appeared in the next second Ten meters away, and carrying a huge, warhammer-like cross, he strode towards the gate of the palace, and ordered loudly: "Harel leads the people to the Hall of Runes, Zoe leads your people to the East Tower, and the others People come with me!"
Hao Ren, Vivian and the others exchanged glances, followed closely behind Bai Huo and rushed out.
The new wave of attacks from the Presbyterian Church came earlier than expected, and it was extremely violent. When Hao Ren and the others rushed out of the palace, the battle was already raging outside, with constant explosions and shouts of killing. In the dark and empty space, demon hunters from the Order of the Elders kept flashing and attacking them. They were extremely easy to identify—ordinary demon hunters were all dressed in uniform black clothes, but the elite soldiers of the Order of the Elders wore black collars There are two dazzling silver borders on the parts, which is their honor mark as an elite regiment, but it has also become the best feature for distinguishing friend from foe in this melee.
Several triangular long and narrow aircraft flew from the darkness. These aircraft, which looked like giant skateboards, were equipped with heavy ballistas and enchanted guns on both sides. They passed over the palace, continuously projecting bright lightning spears and explosive enchanted crossbow bolts. , after a round of indiscriminate bombardment, heavily armed Presbyterian Order soldiers jumped off the aircraft and rushed towards the gate of the palace like a herd of beasts. The guards of the palace had organized resistance at this moment. They rushed to the ballistas and rune stones closest to them, and launched a fierce counterattack with these defensive weapons fixed on the ground. One side of the line jumped out, and directly fought hand-to-hand with those elders who flashed out of the darkness!
The holy silver blade danced in the darkness. The enchanted crossbow ripped through the air with a scream of death, and the holy flames blazed. The Leta rune glows dazzlingly under the surge of magic power! The demon hunters launched a grand melee with exquisite and complicated fighting skills. The entire square around the palace and the large void beyond the square were involved in a gorgeous and deadly firestorm. In the center, Hao Ren looked dazzled at the scene in front of him, seeing for the first time how the most powerful supernatural race on the planet displayed their deadly fighting skills.
Every demon hunter is a warrior who has experienced many battles, a skilled killer, and a weapon master who is proficient in dozens of weapons and hundreds of combat techniques. No one in this world devotes all their energy and talent to honing their combat abilities like them, and no one is born with so many skills for combat like them. At this moment, the battlefield was full of flashing hunters and dizzying rune marks, like a swarm of bees in a storm, everyone became a hunter, and everyone became a prey!
And Hao Ren quickly entered the state after a brief exclamation. He took out his long gun and short cannon from the portable space, and followed Bai Huo to the place where the battle was most intense: "Go up and help first!"
The demon hunters of the Presbyterian Church are obviously much stronger than ordinary fighters in individual combat, and they are not only skilled in all the demon hunter equipment. Moreover, many of the runes used were also extremely powerful. Originally, Hao Ren thought that these fighters had been stationed in Corpus all the year round, and their fighting skills were no longer familiar. But after the fight, he found that these people were still amazing in terms of experience and skills. He rushed into the battle group wearing a shield, and was immediately "welcome" by at least a dozen magic bullets—even in the melee. The soldiers of the Presbyterian Order immediately locked on to him, a stranger who suddenly broke in and disrupted the situation. Hao Ren's idea of sneak attacking to gain some advantage was simply unrealistic.
The crossbow arrows hit, hitting a series of sparks on the rigid shield, and ghostly enemy soldiers appeared from close at hand from time to time, piercing their weapons from various tricky angles, Hao Ren concentrated his energy, In the enemy's siege, he dodged and dodged the attack twenty times, and was hacked more than seventy times in a row...
He thought about it. I feel that I am not suitable for comparing moves with these weapon masters...
So he had no choice but to continue to use what he was good at, which was to prop up the shield. Standing in the crowd and shouting: "Sun thief!"
A whirlwind-like white shadow rushed past Hao Ren, scurrying around for a few times before stopping. Lily emerged from the whirlwind. She held the ice-fire claw blade, her hair was flying in the air, and she looked majestic. stern. A warrior from the Presbyterian Church suddenly appeared from behind Lily, and cut the holy silver dagger towards her neck, but Lily subconsciously turned around and kicked the enemy back without looking at her. She even had time to complain about Hao Ren: "Landlord, why haven't you improved your combat skills at all?!"
"Nonsense, I don't have your animal instincts!" Hao Ren yelled as he looked around. There were more and more demon hunters from the Presbyterian Order, and fierce battles were everywhere on the platform outside the palace. And the enemy's attack target was obviously not just this palace: he saw a fierce battle breaking out at the top of the tower of stars not far away, which was the entrance and exit of the tower.
However, the exit of the Tower of Stars is protected by a layer of translucent light barrier, and there are heavy soldiers on the floating stone platform in front of the exit, it is difficult for the Presbyterian Church to break through this line of defense for a while.
Hao Ren finally found Bai Huo in the chaos, and it was only then that he remembered a question he hadn't asked: "How did they get so close? Didn't they say that the defense line near the tower is very solid?"
"Because the battle situation has worsened during the two days I left!" Bai Huo replied loudly, "How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"It stands to reason that it should be here by now," Y'zaks' rough voice came from the side. He had already turned into a demon form at this time, and his body was burning with raging flames. Ordinary Elder Order soldiers couldn't get close to him. while Elizabeth sat on Y'zaks' head and kept throwing huge lava fireballs around, just like the attached turret installed on the old devil's head, Y'zaks looked in the direction of the star tower, " La Nina led the team... Wait, I let La Nina lead the team!?"
Hao Ren didn't understand what Yzaks was exclaiming at first, but after a while, he suddenly remembered the god-like sense of direction of the succubus sister, and exclaimed: "Damn! She won't have lost her way to the South Pole by now. right?"
Lily ran around from an unknown direction, and just ran to Hao Ren's side at this time: "That's not possible! There is only one road from the Legion Portal to the Ice Fortress, and it's still a straight line!"
"It's not like she didn't get lost when she walked in a straight line in the Demon King's City back then," Yizaks said heartbrokenly, "Can you believe it if she walked in the wrong direction?"
Bai Huo listened to them discussing this heart-shattering situation, and the more she listened, the more she broke out in a cold sweat, but the situation in front of her left her no time to be distracted and think about other things: "In short, stabilize the defense first! These enemies should only come to consume us Yes, the sentry didn't find that the enemy has reinforcements, and they will retreat if there is a stalemate!"
Hao Ren could only trust Bai Huo's judgment, and continued to play the role of a team battle MT in the chaos, and threw all kinds of explosives at the most densely populated area of the Elder Order - for those demon hunters with infinite teleportation skills Generally speaking, the various grenades with explosion delay are actually not very threatening, but this kind of ranged weapon can disrupt their rhythm and formation very well. After the attack rhythm is chaotic, it is difficult for them to launch more powerful Combine magic or rune weapons.
The melee continued, and it seemed that just as Bai Huo said, the enemy did not have any reinforcements, and no new enemies were seen since the first batch of elders who attacked by aircraft "landed".
But Hao Ren felt a kind of disobedience - the battle has been going on for a while, why hasn't the enemy retreated yet
He looked up in the direction of the Tower of Stars, and suddenly found that the enemy's offensive center of gravity had shifted from the command post to the exit platform of the Tower of Stars without knowing it, and there were still a large number of fighters from the Order of the Elders gathered around the platform. In the void, they did not participate in the battle, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.
Half of the defenders of the tower were pinned down on the side of the palace, and almost no one noticed these subtle changes.
"Oops!" Hao Ren's heart tightened, "Their goal is still the platform over there!"
Bai Huo's figure flashed beside him: "But there is a screen at the gate of the Star Tower..."
Before Bai Huo could finish her sentence, a white light shot from the distant nothingness interrupted all her next words.
This white light bombarded the exit platform of the high tower of stars. Accompanied by the crisp sound of glass breaking and a large piece of distorted electric light, the platform was directly divided into two, and the protective barrier that originally covered the gate of the high tower was broken. It was really shattered like brittle glass.
Even the entire top of the tower was blown off by one-third. (to be continued~^~)
