Chapter 988: Styx Demon
Because it is their home court, the Els clan has the advantage of being familiar with the environment in the city. Under the cover of night, they took the lead in using buildings and hidden points to carry out various attacks on Li Ran's corps.
After passive defense, Li Ran also sent a large number of high-level troops, especially when nearly 400 female detention warriors and the giant sphincter wolf brought from the Sunset Mountains were dispatched by Li Ran, the killing of the Ellus clan officially began.
All night, accompanied by the extremely tired soldiers falling asleep, there were bursts of sudden fighting sounds and tragic roars in the distance. When the sky was getting brighter, when these female detained warriors and the giant sphincter wolf returned, the Ellus clan opposite lost thousands more, and many of them did not sleep all night.
The battle lasted for three days, from outside the city to inside the city. The battle in the city alone took nearly two days, and the battle continued until the opponent entered the inner city. The two sides launched a new round of siege. In the end, Li Ran's side used the King of Demon Lu to break open the gate of the opponent's inner city, and the King of Zhuoxu Warrior cut over the opponent's battle flag and ended.
For Li Ran's side, this was the most tragic battle since entering the Third World. Although the Ellus clan lacked effective command, the advantages of the environment and the attitude of fighting to the death made Li Ran's side pay a heavy price.
After imprisoning the opponent's main general, Li Ran had no time to surrender them. After leaving some troops to guard them, he personally rushed back to his city with some high-level troops, hoping to drive back through the teleportation array before Zhou Xun and the others were captured.
All of them were moving rapidly with cavalry and received emergency information from Zhou Xun from time to time along the way. In desperation, Li Ran had to let the Dragon Clan and some flying troops go back first, and let Zhang Juan, who was guarding the city, take it back first to solve Zhou Xun's urgent need.
However, there were only a few hundred dragon clan corps, and there was obviously still no way to resist the attack of the demon legion. With the news of the loss of the outer city coming from there, Li Ran had to divide his troops again. He personally led more than 5,000 elite soldiers to ride on the mount and run at full speed. Finally, on the afternoon of the third day after leaving the Ellus clan, he led more than 5,000 troops to the city where the teleportation array was set.
"Let the patriarch Eversese summon all the priests! Xia Houben's 50,000 troops arrive tomorrow afternoon." As Zhang Debiao opened the city gate, Li Ran just threw down a sentence, and without saying a word, he led the more than 5,000 troops straight to the teleportation array, and even didn't even rush to call one.
"Captain Zhou! You must keep it!" Zhang Debiao said, clenching his fist in his hand, looking at Li Ran's figure like the wind, and his back was gradually bent after a long journey.
Maybe she was notified that Yao Lingye was already standing here in the teleportation in Taier City. After seeing Li Ran come out of the inside, she immediately stepped forward and briefly talked about the current situation while taking them straight to the battlefield.
Seeing the city lord coming back, I don’t know who shouted first. The soldiers who were originally retreating in the inner city were inevitably frightened and looked at this side and let out a deafening cry.
As these shouts spread, the soldiers who had been struggling to persevere quickly increased their morale at this time, and for a moment, the entire inner city rebuked the call of Telres.
Perhaps seeing the reaction here, the demon army siege over there couldn't help but slow down, and a demon in a black robe walked out of it.
This is a humanoid creature about two meters tall. The horns on the top of his head and the skinny bones make him have the terrifying appearance of a purgatory creature. He held a black metal staff in his hand, and a burning light burned in his eyes. Just by looking at it, you can feel the evil aura emitted from his body. In addition to some of the same tribes behind him, even the slave epidemic demons who are also the evil demons of the same demon clan are unwilling to stand beside them.
"He is Garrera, the commander of the evil demon!" Zhou Xun, who was next to Li Ran, saw the former pointing his eyes on this person and quickly said: "The death gaze of these guys is comparable to the mutated barbarian bull. He is good at summoning and corpse manipulation. Although there are not many people, it is very terrifying."
As Li Ran nodded, Zhou Xun pointed to the evil demons next to him and said, "There are also these slave epidemic demons. Although they look a bit like long-horned demons, their strength has reached the legendary level, and they are good at short-distance positioning and teleportation and extreme jumping. The skills they use will slow down or even immobilize the enemies they fight against. Coupled with their rapid speed and explosive power, it is very terrifying in melee combat. Even the Taurus totem warriors of the same level are not their opponents. Our outer city was previously captured from the inside after being teleported collectively by them. Now I have arranged some mages at the inner city gate and implemented space interference. This is a little better."
"Until now, have you done anything in the capital?" Li Ran suddenly asked.
Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "As you said, there were only more than 30,000 light cavalrymen in the name of preparing for war. This time, thanks to Lord Elicimo and Giodano and other city lords, they gathered more than 60,000 high-coated cavalry and some high-speed troops to come, stationed troops fifty miles away from the city to restrain the enemy, forming a horn with us, which made this demon army dare not attack the city with all its strength. Otherwise, to be honest, we would not be able to hold on now. The offensive and power of these demons were beyond my imagination."
Hearing this, Li Ran asked about the situation on Marquis Alicemo. After learning that Giodano suffered a severe blow because of a radical battle the day before yesterday, now his life and death are unknown, a cold light flashed in Li Ran's eyes.
"Transfer the information I came back, let Lord Alicimo and his team cooperate with me with all their strength, and strive to persevere for another day or two. After Xia Houben and the others come back, we will launch a full-scale counterattack!" Looking at the dilapidated outer city and the corpses all over the ground, Li Ran said.
As Zhou Xun nodded and left, Li Ran called several other teammates and leaders, and after re-establishing some troops, he also arranged the higher troops he brought to various important defensive positions.
I have to say that although only more than 4,000 people brought back this time, this is not counted as more than 1,000 people in the war space. If all of them are included, the strength he brought back is more than 6,000.
After a few hours of stopping, after discovering that only a few thousand people came back this time, the demon army on the opposite side launched a fierce attack again.
At this time, Li Ran also realized the terror of this demon legion. Not to mention the almost crazy Balo Flame Demons and Slaughter Demons in the battle, they posed a great threat to their own defense, and the offensives issued by the slave epidemic demons surprised him even more.
These guys, who are as tall as three meters and have strong muscles, are brown all over. Under the fluffy hair, they have natural and thick scales. They look like a huge ape with violent horns on their front paws, and their weapons are huge finger blades like four files.
Seeing them killing on the battlefield, trampling on the warriors quickly and violently, sometimes jumping up to more than ten meters high, Li Ran couldn't help but think of the Hulk in the movie.
Fortunately, Zhou Xun and others have experience in dealing with these guys. Whenever they see these guys transmitting through positioning or jumping from the city wall, some of the long-time hands scattered on the battlefield will rush over in formation. While trapping them, they use a large number of troops to surround and kill. However, these guys are too strong and move quickly. Every time they kill them, they will lose a lot of troops.
Fortunately, after Li Ran returned, the higher troops scattered in the inner city finally played a role. Although, as an individual, neither the elf warrior nor the taurus totem warrior were the opponents of these slave epidemic demons, Uba Shura and Valkyrie could barely fight with them.
However, the slave epidemic demons who can escape the dense bows and arrows and throw more than three jumps on the city wall are a few after all, not to mention that Li Ran brought back this time, in addition to these legendary troops, there are many more troops above the legendary level. Therefore, this fighting method that posed a great threat to Zhou Xun and others before and captured the outer city was ineffective at this time.
As hundreds of slave epidemic demons who jumped into the inner city were killed, no waves arose, Garrera, the leader of the perished evil demon who died, also felt something was wrong. As he waved his hand, dozens of tribesmen behind him walked up.
"No! They are going to summon the evil demon of the Styx again." Zhou Xun suddenly shouted.
Then he saw that without waiting to talk to Li Ran in detail, he quickly made the remaining crossbow chariot ready. At the same time, some archers had replaced the ordinary arrows in their hands with magic arrows.
Just after a while, a burst of black and smelly smoke emerged in front of the demon legion opposite. A large and thick black water balls penetrated through the black fog and broke out of the air. Some flew into the inner city, some hit the city gate, and some splashed on the city wall to make a sizzling sound.
Just as the light of the magic arrow passed by and penetrated the black fog, Li Ran also saw clearly the appearance of the so-called evil demon of the Styx summoned.
At first glance, these guys looked like the lowest swamp dart people in the swamp clan, but their form, lifeless eyes and evil aura emitted by their bodies, especially the strange demon patterns that spread all over their bodies, fully proved that this was a terrifying evil demon clan.
