Chapter 485: Intense
In a corner of the anti-magic fortress.
An area here is used by the Church of Our Lady, and it is also the gathering point of the Church of Our Lady in the fortress.
As soon as Alka arrived here, he saw a statue of the Virgin Mary standing in front of the door.
Perhaps because this is a fortress, the statue was not built in a grand manner and is not much different from the statues in an ordinary chapel.
And this place is also filled with the holy light of the Virgin Mary.
People wearing white, wheat yellow and gold clothes came and went here.
"Saint." Every time they passed by Annaphile, they would nod and greet her politely.
And Annafil would nod in response.
Almost all the people walking around were soldiers, and from the marks on their bodies, it could be seen that some of them had just been involved in a battle.
Alka entered this area and found that the layout of the largest stone house in the center was not much different from that of a church.
Going out from here is an internal training ground, where you can see the Wheat Ear Knights doing warm-up training.
There are also some wounded soldiers with bandages on their bodies who are undergoing recovery and adaptation training.
The sound of prayers can be heard not far away.
Alka opened his eyes and glanced around casually. Everyone here was at stage four or above, and there were quite a few at stage five.
When A-Ka came in, he also saw one or two sixth-stage beings.
Obviously, these are the soldiers provided by the Holy Mother Church.
Further in are some multi-story stone houses, one of the larger ones being arranged as a spacious hall with a variety of seats.
It was obviously a place specially used for rest , and many knights were sitting and resting inside.
Annabell brought Alka to the second floor.
There is also a hall and some small rooms on the second floor.
There were two knights and a priest sitting in the hall, seemingly discussing something. All of them were at the sixth level.
Moreover, they are almost all above the middle of the sixth stage, close to perfection.
"Your Highness the Saint." One of the knights nodded after seeing Annafiel, and then saw Alka.
The other two strangers also saw Alka. After looking at the stranger carefully for a while, they seemed to recognize Alka.
"Are you Alka?" There was some uncertainty in their voices, and it was obviously the first time they met.
Alka nodded.
At this time, Annafiel came over and said, "They are all colleagues who are here to support us. This one is called Kans, and he is the leader of the Knights."
He pointed to one of the knights and said that the knight was about 40 years old and looked mature but not old.
He looks very ordinary, but gives people a tough feeling.
Alka reached out and shook his hand.
"I've heard of you for a long time, and I finally see your full appearance." He looked at Alka and said with a smile.
The Saint pointed to another knight, who was about the same age as Alka and looked much younger.
"Linton, the deputy commander of the Knights."
He also smiled and shook hands with Alka: "I have heard about your deeds a long time ago, it's really amazing, if we have time, we can learn from each other."
From the scars on his face and the scratches on his armor, we can tell that he is a madman who loves fighting.
Maybe I'll have some common topics with Pororo.
Finally the pastor introduced himself: "My name is Joseph, and I'm the head of the Pastor Support Group. You're much younger than I thought."
"Really? Haha." Alka smiled and then sat down in the empty seat next to them.
Annafil also sat nearby.
"Are you here for Kalande?" Annafiel said, looking at Alka.
Although her eyes were hidden by a metal blindfold, Alka could feel her sight penetrating the metal blindfold.
"I suspect that he was deliberately released by the enemy, so I have not considered him as a target for the time being. I just came here to familiarize myself with the situation and provide some help within my ability."
After hearing what Alka said, they nodded and probably understood what was going on.
"I wanted to dissuade you, but now that you know clearly, we are relieved."
"Do you need to lead a team to fight?" Kans, the leader of the Knights, asked Alka.
Apparently he was asking Alka if he needed some troops to assist in the fight.
If Alka had just arrived, he obviously wouldn't have done this. But in the past few years, Alka's reputation had already spread beyond the magic wall, so everyone was relatively relieved.
And it’s not like Alka hasn’t led soldiers in activities before.
Hearing this, Alka shook his head.
"No, I am more accustomed to fighting alone than leading soldiers, and my teammates should arrive one after another later."
Hearing this, they nodded.
"Will all your teammates come?" Linton, the deputy captain of the knights, couldn't help but ask.
Alka nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this, Linton was a little excited.
Looking at his appearance, Kans, the team leader, couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
He gave Alka an apologetic smile, "Excuse me, my subordinate is keen on fighting, and he has always wanted to spar with your companion, the Blood War Beast."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, thinking that it was true.
The Beast of Blood War is a title that Pororo has acquired in recent years.
The first one was a war beast.
Until one defensive battle, Pororo's performance was too eye-catching and bloody, mainly because there were many demons in that battle who were better at reckless combat than close combat.
The demon's boiling blood almost covered his body, even causing varying degrees of burns on his skin.
The demon blood was so stained on his body that it almost looked like he was covered in lava from a distance. One could imagine how many demons he had killed in that kind of battle.
From then on, it was given the title of "Beast of Bloody Battle".
In this way, everyone chatted for a while and became closer.
Just then, the sound of bells tinkling came from outside.
There were two rapid knocks, and then the cycle continued.
Hearing the bell, the four people present stood up at once.
The leader of the priest support group, who was sitting next to Alka, said directly to the confused Alka: "This is a warning of a demon attack."
"Each additional sound represents a different degree of the demon's attack. This time there are two sounds, which means the demon's attack level is at a normal level." Kans also added .
"What a wonderful meeting, but it was interrupted by these demons. What a bummer." Linton said angrily.
Annafil also stood up and said, "The demons are attacking, do you want to go to the wall and take a look?"
Alka nodded. He came here to resist the devil.
Joseph, the leader of the support group, looked at Annafiel and said, "Your Highness, you just came down from the city wall. You should take a break."
Annafil shook her head casually: "I didn't consume too much energy, so this rest is enough."
Hearing this, the three of them did not dissuade him, but simply nodded. Obviously, the intensity of the attack this time should not be strong.
Moreover, only one sound was heard in the previous battle. To the saint, such a battle was really nothing.
After exchanging a few words, the three of them came to the hall downstairs. At least half of the people had already left.
Alka looked at the knights who were still left, with some blood and dirt on their bodies that had not been wiped off.
Obviously they had been on the battlefield before and should have been rotated out to rest.
After all, the frequency of demon attacks here is said to be very high, and almost all the soldiers here are constantly rotating in defense, otherwise they would not be able to hold on.
When I walked outside, I found that the soldiers outside had already begun to walk towards the city wall in an orderly manner.
Alka walked all the way to the bottom of the city wall and ran to the top of it.
Some rubble from the city walls fell from above.
It seems that the enemy used some kind of long-range attack method?
Shouts and deafening crashes rang in my ears, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy.
As soon as they came over they separated.
The Grand Master and the Vice-Grand Master of the Knights Templar were obviously going to lead their members, and so was Joseph.
Only Annafil was left with Alka.
Alka soon reached the top of the city wall and looked at the battlefield below.
The thickness of the city wall was much thicker than Alka had imagined. A rough glance showed that the thickness alone was more than 10 meters.
It looks like a square.
It was filled with all kinds of equipment.
Not to mention the sturdy watchtowers as tall as towers built against the city walls.
Compared to the back, the front fortress looks countless times more exaggerated and magnificent.
In the distance, Alka saw as many as twenty or thirty one-eyed slinging giants.
And this is just the normal intensity of the attack?
There are normally only one or two of them in the anti-magic fortress.
There were also twenty or thirty hammer demons that were more than ten meters tall, scattered everywhere, walking slowly towards them.
Looking at it from here, one can tell that the area occupied by the fortress is much larger than he thought.
It even spread to both sides and extended over the city walls.
The defense line of the entire area seemed to extend for at least 1 kilometer. It was too exaggerated, and even with such an exaggerated area, the demons could still be packed in.
In addition, Alka even saw four hell beasts that he had never seen before.
These creatures, which looked like giant bulls made of lava, were covered in a layer of black metal armor and carried siege weapons on their backs that looked like randomly forged giant cannons.
These giant bulls are more than ten meters high when their four legs are touching the ground, and their body length is nearly twenty to thirty meters. They look like mobile fortresses walking on the earth.
A long trail of flames was left behind.
At the back of the city wall, there are elemental cannons placed one after another.
These elemental cannons began to draw magic power from the air and then fired.
He completely ignored the giant bulls and shot at the Cyclops behind them.
Obviously, these attacks may not be very powerful when fired at .
"Bang!"
There was a huge explosion.
The giant lava bull in the front seemed to be within the range, and the steel lava cannon on its back launched an attack with a loud bang.
It's not a shell.
But it is magma like flowing water.
It rushed towards them like a high-pressure water gun.
The soldiers at the edge of the fortress wall did not seem to panic and behaved in an orderly manner.
In the distance, Alka saw what seemed to be members of the Church of the Storm using some kind of combined power.
The thick water flows directly collided with the oncoming lava. The temperature of these water flows was extremely low and they were rich in water elements.
It was stopped, and the water flows collided with the lava, producing a large amount of steam, which instantly covered a large part of the battlefield.
Lava and boiling steam spread over the battlefield below, and Alka heard large numbers of screams.
Before those demons could even reach the bottom of the city wall, they suffered a lot of casualties from their own attacks.
All I can say is that these chaotic, evil and bloodthirsty demons are truly worthy of the name, as they don't care about these unnecessary injuries at all.
It didn't affect their continued charge at all.
"put!"
Just listen to the command.
The long-range troops on the city wall launched their attacks.
Demons fell in droves.
Various machines that Alka had rarely seen launched attacks, quickly clearing out the demons below that were like ants.
"Is this level of war just the most normal situation?" Alka couldn't help but ask as he watched this scene.
How does this look different from a decisive battle?
Annafil nodded: “Although the number and strength of these demons are much greater than other places.
But for the construction strength of the magic-proof fortress and the soldiers stationed there, such an attack intensity is indeed just a normal routine."
No wonder Greyfor seldom took action at the Demon Hunting Fortress, because even the most difficult defensive situations they had encountered before were similar to the current ones.
But the defensive stations that make some large fortresses struggle are just a daily occurrence for the anti-magic fortresses that defend against enemies head-on.
Moreover, the strength of the demons in this place will increase.
As the battle progressed, various buff effects fell like raindrops. Alka just stood there and did nothing, and various buffs were already applied to him, making him feel that his strength was at least improved by about 15%.
You should know that his strength has reached the sixth stage.
And many of the buffs are not given by the same level in the sixth stage.
Moreover, these enhancements are used on a large scale, covering almost all the soldiers in the fortress, and some can even cover the equipment.
In this situation, with this kind of strength, he can get a 15% increase. For those ordinary soldiers, doubling their strength is almost no problem.
It seems that in addition to quality, strength and order, they also have close coordination with each other.
While observing the entire battlefield, Alka suddenly felt a burning, hateful gaze shooting at him from a distance.
Look in the direction where the feeling comes from.
Alka saw that on the top of a giant lava bull in the back, there was a demon about three or four meters in size standing there, staring at him closely.
This demon was extremely strong, like a bull.
There is a pair of slightly damaged blood-red devil bat wings behind it, scars on its body and a broken horn on its head.
This all shows how many battles this demon has experienced.
In his hand he held a huge wolf-tooth club that was as tall as he was.
It is covered with sharp black spikes.
He carried the huge mace and stared at Alka on the distant city wall with ferocious eyes.
Looking at this demon, Alka couldn't help but ask: "He should be Kaland the Slayer, right?"
Annafil nodded: "Yes, he is your target."
Obviously, this Kalande was the commander of this siege.
Kalande made a fist towards Alka in the air, and Alka instantly felt a burning sensation beside him, and a flame began to burn from his body out of thin air.
Seeing this, Alka's red flame card appeared around him. The flames were immediately under his control and surrounded him.
“It can use penetrating fire from a distance, and can directly reach the target and burn it.
The magic shield is almost unstoppable." Annabelle explained to Alka after she saw that he had controlled the flames.
"His attacks can also penetrate almost all shields. If you want to fight him, this is the most important information you need to know."
For some of these well-known and powerful demons who have been on the battlefield for many years, detailed explanations of almost every move and ability of theirs are recorded.
Even after they grow and change, as long as they use it, it will be recorded immediately.
This powerful ability of Chu Jian Sha can only be used effectively once at most.
After one time, all enemies facing him on the battlefield will know about it and may even find ways to target them.
"It seems like he is provoking me. Does he want me to go directly to him?" Alka couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
Then raise your right hand up.
Several elemental cards emerged and then overlapped.
A dragon-like fire dragon was condensed by Alka, and in an instant, a scorching hot breath was emitted from the surroundings.
Alka constructed a fire dragon with great momentum, and then swung it forward fiercely with his right hand.
The long dragon swam out, and flames could be seen wrapped around its body, as if it was performing some operation that was not related to flames.
Under Alka's control, he crashed into the pile of monsters below in an instant, and used his slender body to start moving among the demon monsters.
Due to lack of strength, the smaller demon was directly sucked into the body of the fire dragon.
The flames also had a powerful destructive effect, wantonly slaughtering the demons as they flew towards the bull in the lava.
Looking at this situation.
Kalande jumped directly off the cow's back and smashed the fire dragon with a stick from a distance of about ten meters.
