Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 467: Ambush (Happy Mid-Autumn)

The cavalry exploited the advantage of speed to break through the blockade of arrow rain and escape the perimeter of the valley.

“Trojan, count the men quickly! Report casualty figures!” Nesta gasped slightly and, in the circumstances just now, maintained the strength of the field to protect the soldiers around him, which was indeed a great drain.

Because of this, no one can replace Nesta's prestige and position in the Knights of the Shadows.

Shortly afterwards, Trojan reported: "There are still 14500 rides left, some 3,000 seriously injured and some 5,000 slightly injured, and Lord Anspu has not yet returned. ”

“Anspur is a demon emperor, and even if he can't beat his enemies, running away should be no problem. It's just that this time we lost over 5,000 people without even touching the enemy's side! ”

This number is more than Nesta could have imagined, and he had to squeeze his fist, and if it hadn't been for the early detection and the lack of a deep trap, it would likely have been far more than that.

Trojan frowned: “General, it looks like all the enemies just used are advanced magic arrows, extremely powerful armor breakers, our round shields have been penetrated. ”

“All advanced armor-breaking magic arrows?” Nesta sucked in a cold breath. This is not a normal arrow. The cost is frightening. Even the most elite Tetu archers cannot equip themselves with arrows of this quality. Only some Legion leaders can afford it. The enemy is throwing money at people...

“Some soldiers are badly wounded. Do you want to rest in place? ”

“No, you can't stay!” Nesta shook his head, "marched at the quickest speed and immediately drove back to the Moonlight Fortress, hoping that the situation was not at the worst I expected. ”

That Hadi, probably has a problem. Something didn't feel right before the Moonlight Fortress was easily taken down, but the time was running out and he was rushing to attack Dico Town, so he didn't have time to think about it. Even if you set aside your hand in advance, it may not work. Now you must hurry to the Moonlight Fortress or even return to the Red Phantom!

What Troe was trying to say, seeing Nesta's firm eyes, immediately gave up his intentions and ordered the soldiers to march at full speed at any cost.

After a while, the cavalry regiment has driven along the avenue to the winding mountain road, and the Moonlight Fortress can be reached smoothly by turning over the two mountains in front.

At this point, however, Nesta at the forefront of the team suddenly had a very dangerous feeling, without a trace in advance, purely a warning sign of the instincts of the high-ranking strong.

One sentence, "Careful”, before exiting, saw a dazzling ray of light shining somewhere on the side.

At first it was a light point, and then it turned into a ball of flame. The flame is wrapped in a light purple color and appears to be shining with splashing lights in the middle, making it particularly bright in this late evening.

Almost instantly, that kind of flame amplified right in front of the cavalry, and the destructive breath erupted with a loud, dull sound, with an astonishing force.

In the landslide fissure, hundreds of cavalry within about 100 meters instantly turned into powder. Nearby demon horses and knights danced in limbs in huge waves of air and were lifted away, leaving only a horrible giant pit with hidden residual energy sound of nourishment.

“Magic cannon!” Nesta shouted in horror.

He's never seen such a horrible magic cannon!

Originally Nesta was still trying to figure out how to brew a counterattack and wash away the shame when he arrived at the Moonlight Fortress, but the horrific magic cannon almost destroyed his confidence.

Although outside the power range of the artillery cannon just now, Nesta can feel that even with the strength of his Mid-Emperor, if hit by such artillery cannons, he will be seriously hurt.

In the rear, a white light erupted, unlike the previous type of shell-like burst, this time the white light was a straight beam, but the diameter was a bit exaggerated, and it was continuous energy. Where it was swept by the "beam”, the life form was broken down into particles and dissipated, and the beam was cleared of a fan-shaped position and finally diminished and disappeared.

Nesta doesn't want anything to fight back now. There's only one belief: flee!

Get the soldiers out of these horrible magic cannon ranges!

“Start the Shadow Strike! Spread out as far as you can and hurry back to the Moonlight Fortress!” Nesta shouted, with two wings behind her, a long sword and a huge shield in her hand, flying in the direction of the Magic Cannon.

Originally inability to move lightly as commander, but now that the situation is urgent and Anspur is not there, as the only powerful Demon Emperor capable of flying, he must go to the greatest threat of sabotage of the Demon Cannon.

Demonic Shadow Strikes are typically used only once a day. If they are to be overused, the Magic Array will consume a lot of life for knights and riders, but if the situation is urgent and improper, the entire cavalry legion will be wiped out by that terrible crystal cannon.

Those two cannons are terrible in power, but they are all common to the cannon, which is the cooling phase. Because the emission energy is too great, it must be cooled by the Magic Array, otherwise it will not withstand the power to blow up the chamber.

Nesta's figure had not yet flown close to the position of the magic cannon, and he felt a strange spiritual fluctuation impacting him. His brain ached like it was about to split open. His body was in the air for a minute, and a black shadow had appeared in front of him, and two light blue lightning flashes had struck him like lightning.

When Nesta was in the barn, his body shrunk and lay the square shield in front of him, listening only to the “ding” constantly. For a moment, the shield in his hand could barely hold steady without knowing how many memories of the attack had been blocked by the enemy.

Nesta secretly shocked, the shield swung violently, a shield strike forced the other side, immediately followed by the right hand long sword towards the shadow stab, the sword had a horrible black flame, with a strong destructive atmosphere, it was the Lucifer clan's strongest attacking talent black flame.

After the shadow of the black shadow floated, the blue light in the hands seemed to be a double knife and began to rotate, forming a force field similar to a vacuum. The black flame on the long sword could not help but be chopped apart in the suction force field. This dark shadow moves extremely quickly, taking advantage of the power on the other sword, the blue light is like a serpent wrapped around a tree, and the sword is instantly swept over Nesta's throat.

Nesta hurriedly looked up, risked avoiding, the shield in his hand quickly blocked in front of him, at the moment the shield covered his body, the ribs and belly were hemp at the same time, as if it was electric shock, then came the torn pain.

The distant Magic Cannon once again emits a horrible light, more than two doors. Although cooling time is a problem, the power is too horrible. Everywhere, the lives of the soldiers of the Magic Legion are quickly harvested. Fortunately, many soldiers have broken into the mountain path, using the cover of the ground to escape the Sickle of Death.

Nesta was dismayed by the death of the soldiers, but this opponent's power was still over him. In addition to his terrible power and speed, he also possessed that horrible mental shock power, and he was afraid that even leaving would be a problem.

This raid was a total failure and the Cavalry Corps lost a lot. The Moonlight Fortress in front may still be dangerous, and the rest of the soldiers must be taken out of danger!

With this in mind, the whole body of Nesta erupted in an alarming atmosphere, seemingly desperate to strike, but it was a false note, flames swept up on the back of the wings, so that the forced fusion of the two talents of black flame and holy light wing is quite dangerous for Nesta's current strength, the organs have been damaged by that kind of counterpharmatic force, but the effect is also quite obvious. Twin wings are only one stroke away and have flew far away.

The speed of Nesta's flight suddenly increased several times, and the shadow with the blue-ray knife couldn't catch up. The pupil of the left eye turned golden, and a beam of golden light burst out, hitting the far Nesta. Nesta snorted, ignoring the wounds, but with this force he accelerated his flight and disappeared.

“If it's on the ground, this guy's gonna get away!” The shadow waved the blue knife in his hand angrily, making a hissing sound of emptiness.

Then on the terrain of the highway, Nesta barely gathered the remnants and rushed to the Moonlight Fortress, and he did not ask Trojan, who was seriously injured, to report the casualties, because only by eyewitness could it be ascertained that there were no more than 5,000 soldiers to follow.

This time the loss is far more than imagined. What is more, the enemy, apart from being annihilated by Anspu, has basically no casualties. From the bows and arrows of the valley to the later magic cannons, the ambushers of the dark moon have made the most of the advantages of terrain and light. The cavalry has no strong maneuverability, but simply cannot take advantage of themselves, only the passive part. Especially those powerful, horrible magic cannons, which must be reported to His Royal Highness the Regent!

The attack by that opponent was very strange. The last blow caused serious damage to his mental and physical strength at the same time. Nesta drank a bottle of wound medication and tried to suppress the wounds in his body. Finally, he led the soldiers across the two mountains, the road was wide open in front of them, and far away he saw the moonlight fortress with bright lights, which was particularly bright in the darkest hours before dawn.

Nesta dared not to be lazy because of his previous experience with the Zhongfu, and told the soldiers not to put down their guards and be ready to fight.

“Which general is the Shadow Legion?” The fortress guard who discovered the cavalry had called out and looked vigilantly at the cavalry not far away.

Instead of relaxing his guard at all because of this questioning, Nestas doubted even more that he had previously led the army to Dico Town, and now that he has fallen back, how did the Moonlight Fortress get the news so quickly? And these people don't look like the team they left behind.

“I'm Nesta.” Nesta responded with a loud voice while sending a signal to prepare the soldiers for battle, behind the fortress, much weaker in defense than in the front, breaking through the enemy's blockade and fleeing back to the Dark Land at minimal cost.

“General Nesta! Please wait, I will report to Lord Canita now! ”

This answer gave Nesta a glimpse, and soon the familiar figure of Canita appeared in front: “Is it General Nesta? ”

“Lord Canita! It's me!" Nesta took a real breath and ordered the soldiers to disarm.

“Remove your defenses and let the General's men in!” Canita ordered hastily.

Nesta entered the fortress with tired cavalry, clearly seen under the lights, many of them with arrows, mostly wounded.

Kanita frowned: "General! I just received a scouting report that there was a fierce battle on the hillside in front of me, and the light of the magic cannon. I guess it was the general who fought the enemy...”

“Alas!" Nesta sighed painfully. “It was I who missed my sight and rushed to Dico Town, resulting in the ambush of the enemy and heavy losses to the soldiers. I will plead guilty to His Royal Highness the Regent. ”

“There is an ancient saying in the demonic realm, the victory and defeat of soldiers is common, the general should not be too depressed, believe that this shame will be washed by the general with blood and victory. ”

Nesta looked into Canita's eyes with a hint of appreciation: "Well said, thanks to you, Lord Canita, when you arrived, did you see the cavalry of the defense I left behind and the inner Hadi arranged by Lord Drocher? ”

“I was about to report this to the General, and when I received the General's signal that the fire was rushing to the Moonlight Fortress, I noticed that the cavalry of Hardy and the Shadow Regiment were killed, all of them bravely. After I took Hadi, I discovered that this man was a fake, and that both the Emperor and my father's inner parts were discovered by the enemy, which was purely a trap laid by the dark moon. Unfortunately, I am too late to get here. The General Cavalry Corps is marching too fast to catch up...”

“You're fast enough, and if it weren't for you, the Legion of Shadows would probably suffer even more.” Originally Kanita was only the son of a lord in the eyes of Nesta, and now it looks like he has a few abilities. "The preparation and intelligence capabilities of the Dark Moon are far ahead of my expectations and possess a terrible weapon. This fortress will not last long. The enemy's pursuits are likely to arrive soon, and we must withdraw as soon as possible. ”

“The General is right, I have just received a reprimand report that the enemy has assembled in this direction. However, the soldiers of your legion are not lightly injured. The distance to Mordor town is too far. If you rush directly, it will only be difficult to support them, but go to the Blood Fog Valley where I stationed first. There is enough material there to rest well. At most, the army of the dark moon will regain the Moonlight Fortress and will never dare enter the realm of the Red Ghost. ”

Nesta looked at the wounded and exhausted army horses and agreed: "Until then, it is best to destroy as much as possible the Moonlight Fortress's magic array and defense facilities. ”

“Rest assured, General, I've already arranged it.” Kanita smiles bamboo on her chest: “And that captive Hadi, who returns to Blood Fog Valley, can be questioned carefully and may have an unexpected harvest. ”

Speaking of Hardy, Nesta nodded in his eyes, nodding: "Then it's not too late, we leave immediately, evacuate the Moonlight Fortress and head for Blood Fog Valley! ”

Shortly afterwards, Nesta quickly left the Moonlight Fortress with the handicapped men and horses, heading towards the Land of the Red Ghost.

PS: I sincerely wish all my friends the best of luck, and thank you for your unwavering support!
