Chapter 117: Harvest City Fell? The Balrog Demon Who Suffered A Backstab.

"Take down these demons!"

"Kill them!"

Various shouts of killing echoed from the top of the Harvest City wall.

Due to the protection of the city's defensive formation, there was a layer of anti-flight barrier outside the city wall.

The demon army was unable to fly and directly enter the city for an air attack.

And the city wall was also reinforced with magic, making it difficult to destroy.

So hundreds of thousands of demons could only climb the city wall, attempting to overcome this barrier.

But the soldiers responsible for guarding the city wall and members of the Habsburg Knight Order were already waiting on the wall.

Once they spotted demons climbing up the wall, they immediately launched an attack while the demons were still unstable.

Due to the pre-allocated defense zones, the coordination between the defending soldiers was quite tacit, not missing any demons.

More than ten minutes passed since the start of the invasion.

Not a single demon was able to truly step onto the Harvest City.

Realizing the difficulty of dealing with Harvest City, the demon army no longer only used low-level demons for probing attacks.

More powerful mid-to-high-level demons also joined the battle.

In this situation, the defensive pressure on Harvest City immediately increased dramatically.

The originally impregnable defense line gradually tore apart.

And if this continued, more and more demons would firmly establish themselves on the city wall.

And if the demon army occupied the city wall, Harvest City would be completely finished.

After all, whether in terms of quantity or quality, the demon army far surpassed the city's defenders.

And losing the advantage of terrain, it'll be only a matter of time before Harvest City will breached by the demon army.

"Archers, focus all firepower on killing the high-level demons climbing the wall."

"As for the magic crystal cannons, abandon their cool down, and increase the firing speed, to fully suppress the demon army around the city wall, and disrupt their attack rhythm...

Thinking of this, Rennes' eyes flashed with determination and decisively gave the order.

Receiving the command, nearly a thousand soldiers wielding Wind Chaser crossbows took action.

Arrows imbued with sharp elemental wind energy shot out, directly turning those mid-to-high-level demons climbing the wall into hedgehogs.

With the addition of this fresh force, the city walls defense line instantly stabilized.

At the same time, those more than ten magic crystal cannons that were still cooling their barrels once again showed their might.

They spared no expense in consuming magic crystals.

They began to crazily fire light cannons.

In less than five minutes.

All the demons within a two-kilometer radius of the city walls were completely wiped out.

The pace of their attack was interrupted, the demons attacking the city walls and the demon army in the rear completely lost contact.

They lost their support.

Soon, these demons were all annihilated by the defending soldiers.

Because of this the demon army suffered a big loss, and their number decreased to less than six hundred thousand.

However.

As the defending side, Harvest City did not have it easy.

Although they relied on the terrain, as well as various tactics and equipment support, the loss of combat personnel was relatively small.

But in the just now high-load firing of the magic crystal cannons, five of them exploded.

The remaining ten cannons also needed to be cooled down urgently.

Otherwise, they could explode and become scrap at any time.

In other words.

After this wave of maximum output, the firepower support from the magic crystal cannons could not be relied upon for the time being.

Calculating the losses from repelling the first wave of demon army attacks.

The little joy from wiping out this wave of demons on Rennes' face disappeared instantly.

Without the powerful firepower support provided by the magic crystal cannons.

Harvest City had to withstand the remaining demon army without it.

Nearly six hundred thousand demons attacking together, anyone could bury all the defending troops of Harvest City.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Rennes immediately began to consider a way to break the deadlock.

After thinking over and over again.

He realized that there seemed to be only one way to save The Harvest City.

That is to implement the decapitation strategy, which means to kill those two legendary demons.

Without these two legendary demons leading them.

The demon army would not be able to form a united force.

By then, he alone could completely crush the remaining demon army.

However, achieving this point was obviously very difficult.

Fighting against two legendary demons at the same time.

Even if he used the strength brought by the Twelve Trials of Death, he did not have a hundred percent certainty of winning.

Not to mention, these two legendary demons still had so many minions.

Rushing into the demon army of hundreds of thousands, to take the heads of the two legendary demons, unless he is a semi-divine powerhouse, he wouldn't dare to be this reckless.

"I can only take it step by step."

Can't think of any good solutions.

Rennes regained his focus and turned his attention back to the ongoing war.

Ten minutes later.

The demon army regrouped.

They continued to launch a fierce attack towards Harvest City.

Thousands of advanced demons led a large group of low-level demons, charging towards the city walls once again.

However.

This time.

There was no firepower support from the magic crystal cannons.

The soldiers and knights on the city wall had to deal with the constantly charging demons on their own.

The defensive pressure increased by more than tenfold compared to before.

For a while, the casualties of the Harvest City defenders skyrocketed.

Noticing this.

The demon army's offensive became even fiercer.

It seemed like they wanted to take down Harvest City in one fell swoop.

"Holy Flame Sword Qi."

Seeing this, Rennes had no choice but to take action.

Otherwise, Harvest City would really be wiped out.

Sword Qi formed by holy golden flames swept across the city walls.

With Rennes joining the battle.

The demon army, which had initially started to gain the upper hand, was defeated once again.

One hour later.

"These useless fools! They can't even handle such a small matter."

Seeing that the human city had not been breached yet.

The two legendary demons commanding the demon army couldn't sit still any more.

They personally took action.

Preparing to end this battle.

Giant fireballs were thrown towards the city walls of Harvest City.

Each one was equivalent to a sixth-level magic spell.

Facing such terrifying attacks.

The defensive magic array of Harvest City didn't last for five seconds before being completely shattered.

Without magic reinforcement.

The city walls collapsed.

The demon army advanced rapidly.

They broke into Harvest City.

In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Upon seeing this, Rennes knew that Harvest City was most likely doomed.

But out of his sense of responsibility as the lord of the territory, he decided to make one final attempt.

To try and assassinate those two legendary demons.

To turn the tide of the battle.

When the two legendary demons entered Harvest City.

Rennes, hiding in the shadows, without hesitation activated his unhindered rampage, and then unleashed his ultimate move - Holy Sword of Judgment.

Expending all of his fighting spirit.

Six energy swords, each of which was equivalent to an epic-level weapon, condensed out of thin air.

Immediately, they transformed into streams of light, attacking the legendary Balrog Flame Demon.

The immobilizing effect of Holy Sword Judgment was triggered.

However, this Balrog Flame Demon, possessing high-level legendary strength, was clearly not to be trifled with.

In a situation where his strength surpassed Rennes by a major realm.

The Balrog Flame Demon easily broke free from the immobilizing effect of Holy Sword Judgment.

Immediately.

Without hesitation, he used the Sixth-level Magic spell - Lava Armor to protect himself.

The next second.

An energy armor composed of dark red magma condensed and took shape, enveloping the entire body of the Balrog Flame Demon.

After the Holy Sword Judgment pierced through the Lava Armor, its power immediately diminished.

Although it successfully left six holes on the body of Balrog flame Demon, greatly weakening its aura.

However, it failed to achieve Rennes' goal of killing Balrog flame Demon.

It couldn't even inflict serious damage on him.

"So, it was you, the running little bug!"

Taking this blow.

The Balrog flame demon immediately locked onto the attacker's position.

After discovering that the attacker was Rennes, the human who had recently attacked the demon army, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He had felt a bit regretful about Rennes escaping earlier.

Unexpectedly, he had now come to him.

You see, a human transcendent with strength comparable to a legendary being is a great supplement.

If he could devour him, the evolutionary energy provided would be equivalent to that of millions of ordinary humans.

Perhaps it could directly propel him to a higher level.

"This Balrog flame Demon gaze creeps me out."

Feeling the greedy gaze from this legendary demon, Rennes also felt a chill in his heart.

He knew this demon wanted to devour, so he didn't want to experience the feeling of being bitten and swallowed alive by a demon.

Just as Rennes was preparing to commit suicide and resurrect to escape, the subordinate-looking Abyssal demon, who was following behind Balrog flame Demon, suddenly launched an attack, but not towards Rennes instead it was to the balrog flame demon direction, viciously striking his head...
