Chapter 1002 Breaking the Door
A sudden noise from outside interrupted everyone's discussion. Hao Ren turned to look at the palace exit: "Is La Nina leading the people here?"
But the next second he knew 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 mist of flowing magic power, "The East Tower is under attack!"
Tutanin had already looked at the weapons rack not far away before the commotion outside. When the enemy attack alarm sounded, he disappeared in front of everyone in a flash, and appeared the next second More than ten meters away, he strode towards the palace gate carrying a huge, warhammer-like cross, and loudly ordered: "Harrell takes people to the rune hall, Zoe takes your people to the east tower, and others Follow me, people!”
Hao Ren, Vivian and the others exchanged glances and rushed out following Bai Huo.
The new wave of attacks from the Presbyterian Order came earlier than expected and was extremely violent. When Hao Ren and the others rushed out of the palace, the flames of war were already boiling outside. There were constant explosions and shouts of killing shook the sky. Demon hunters from the Elder Order keep flashing up in the dark and empty space. They are extremely easy to identify - ordinary demon hunters are uniformly dressed in black. However, the elite soldiers of the Elder Order are wearing black uniforms. The collars are equipped with two dazzling silver edgings. This is their glorious mark as an elite battle group, but it has also become the best feature for identifying ourselves and the enemy in this melee.
Several triangular and narrow aircraft flew from the darkness. These giant skateboard-like aircraft were equipped with heavy ballistae and enchanted guns on both sides. They passed over the palace, constantly projecting bright lightning spears and explosive enchanted crossbow bolts. , after an indiscriminate bombardment, heavily armed Presbyterian Order soldiers jumped from the aircraft and rushed towards the palace gate like a herd of beasts. The palace guards had organized resistance at this moment. They rushed towards the ballistas and rune stones closest to them, and launched a fierce counterattack with these defensive weapons fixed on the ground, while the elite soldiers brought out by Tutanin defended themselves. One side of the line rushed out and directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Presbyterian Order that flashed out of the darkness!
The holy silver blade dances in the darkness, the enchanted crossbow tears the air with the scream of death, the holy flame burns blazingly, and the Leta rune emits a dazzling light under the agitation of magic! The demon hunters launched a grand melee with exquisite and complicated fighting skills. The entire square around the palace and the vast void outside the square were involved in a gorgeous and deadly firestorm. At the end of this melee, In the center, Hao Ren looked at the scene in front of him with dazzled eyes. For the first time, he could directly see how the most powerful supernatural race on the planet displayed their deadly fighting skills.
Every demon hunter is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, a skilled killer, and a weapons master who is proficient in dozens of weapons and hundreds of combat techniques. No one in this world spends all their energy and talent on grinding like they do. In terms of combat ability, no one is born with as many skills for combat as they are. At this moment, the battlefield is filled with flashing hunters and dizzying rune marks everywhere, tangled together like a swarm of bees in a violent storm. Everyone has become a hunter, and everyone has become a prey!
After a brief moment of wonder, Hao Ren quickly entered the state. He took out his long spear and short cannon from his portable space, and followed Bai Huo to the place where the battle was fiercest: "Go up first and help!"
The demon hunters of the Elder Order are obviously much more powerful than ordinary warriors in terms of individual combat effectiveness. Not only are they skilled in all demon hunter equipment, but many of the runes they use are also unusually powerful. Originally, Hao Ren thought that these warriors had been stationed in Corpus all year round and their fighting skills had become rusty. However, after the fight, he found that these people were still amazing in terms of experience and skills. He rushed into the battle group with a layer of shield, and was immediately "welcome" by at least a dozen magic bullets. Even in the melee, the soldiers of the Elder Order immediately locked onto his sudden appearance. The stranger who broke in to disrupt the situation, Hao Ren's idea of taking advantage of a sneak attack was simply unrealistic.
The crossbow arrows struck, setting off a series of sparks on the rigid shield. From time to time, ghostly enemy soldiers emerged from close by, thrusting out their weapons from various tricky angles. Hao Ren concentrated all his energy, During the enemy's siege, he dodged and dodged attacks. He dodged twenty times and was stabbed more than seventy times in a row...
He thought about it and felt that he was not suitable to compete with these weapon masters...
So he had no choice but to continue to use what he was good at, which was to open the shield, stand in the crowd and shout: "Thief Sun!"
A whirlwind-like white shadow rushed past Hao Ren, scurrying around for a few times before stopping. Lily emerged from the whirlwind. She held up the ice and fire claw blade, her hair flying in the air, looking majestic. stern. A warrior of the Elder Order suddenly appeared from behind Lily and slashed the holy silver dagger towards her neck, but Lily subconsciously turned around and kicked the enemy back without even looking. She even had time to complain to Hao Ren: "Landlord, why haven't you improved at all in your fighting skills?!"
"Nonsense, I don't have beast intuition like you!" Hao Ren shouted while looking around. There were more and more demon hunters in the Elder Order at this moment. The platform outside the palace was full of scenes of fierce fighting. And the enemy's attack target was obviously not just this palace: he saw a fierce battle breaking out at the top of the Star Tower not far away, which was the entrance and exit of the tower.
However, the exit of the Tower of Stars was protected by a translucent light barrier, and there were heavy troops on the suspended stone platform in front of the exit. It was difficult for the Elder Order to break through this layer of defense for a while.
Hao Ren finally found Bai Huo in the chaos. Only then did he remember a question he hadn't asked: "How did they get so close? Didn't it mean that the defense line near the tower was very solid?"
"Because the war situation has worsened in the past two days since I left!" Bai Huo replied loudly, "How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?"
"It stands to reason that it should be here by now," Yzaks' rough voice came from the side. At this time, he had transformed into a demon form, and his whole body was burning with blazing flames. Ordinary Elder Order soldiers could not get close to him. body, while Elizabeth sat on Y'zaks' head and kept throwing huge lava fireballs around, just like an attached turret installed on the old devil's head. Y'zaks looked in the direction of the Star Tower, " La Nina leads the team...wait, I let La Nina lead the team!?”
Hao Ren didn't understand what Yzaks was exclaiming at first, but after a moment, he suddenly remembered the succubus sister's godlike sense of direction, and immediately exclaimed: "Damn it! She couldn't have lost her way to Antarctica by now. Alright?"
Lily ran around in an unknown direction and ran to Hao Ren at this time: "No way! There is only one road from the legion portal to the Ice Fortress, and it's a straight line!"
"It's not like she didn't get lost while walking in a straight line in the Demon King's City," Yzaks lamented, "Can you believe that she walked in the wrong direction?"
Bai Huo listened to them discussing this heart-shaking situation, and the more she listened, the more she broke out in cold sweats. However, the situation in front of her left her no time to think about other things: "Anyway, secure the defense line first! These enemies should just come to consume us." Yes, the sentries didn’t notice any reinforcements from the enemy, and they will retreat if the stalemate continues!”
Hao Ren could only trust Bai Huo's judgment and continue to play the role of team battle MT in the chaos, throwing various explosives at the most densely populated areas of the Elder Order - for those demon hunters with unlimited teleportation skills From a human perspective, various grenades with delayed explosions are actually not a big threat, but this range of weapons can disrupt their rhythm and formation very well. After the offensive rhythm is chaotic, it will be difficult for them to launch more powerful attacks. of combined magic or rune weapons.
The melee continues, and it seems that just as Bai Huo said, the enemy has no reinforcements. No new enemies have been seen since the first group of Elders who came by aircraft "landed".
But Hao Ren felt a violation - the battle had been going on for a while, why hadn't the enemy retreated yet?
He looked up in the direction of the Tower of Stars, and suddenly discovered that the enemy's attack focus had unknowingly shifted from the command post to near the exit platform of the Tower of Stars, and there were also a large number of warriors from the Presbyterian Order gathered outside the platform. In the void, they did not participate in the battle, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.
Half of the tower defenders were restrained on the palace side, and almost no one noticed these subtle changes.
"Oops!" Hao Ren's heart tightened, "Their target is still the platform over there!"
Bai Huo's figure flashed to his side: "But the gate of the Star Tower has a screen..."
Before Bai Huo finished speaking, a white light shot from the distant void interrupted all her next words.
This white light bombarded the exit platform of the Tower of Stars. Accompanied by a crisp sound like broken glass and a large piece of distorted electric light, the platform was directly divided into two, and the protective barrier that originally covered the tower gate was It was literally shattered like brittle glass.
Even a third of the entire top of the tower was blown off.
