Chapter 985 Dragon Ghost

As the mad demons and terrifying beasts that landed were eliminated one by one, the chaotic situation gradually came under control.

Agatha walked around the artillery position, and she could see the fragmented corpses of giant beasts everywhere - it must be said that the God's Punishment Witch's combat efficiency in hand-to-hand combat was unparalleled. After being equipped with His Majesty's new firearms, Even more so. Without their support, the Witch Alliance alone would be in a hurry to deal with these more than 30 terrifying beasts, not to mention having to defend against the attack from the mad demons.

It's just that instead of blasting their enemies with large-caliber shotguns, they seem to prefer using ancient ways to take revenge. Agatha had seen more than one ancient witch put away their firearms and use knives, swords or even fists to deliver the final blow after their opponents lost the ability to resist, as if bathing in the flesh and blood of the devil could comfort them.

It seems that the long wait of four hundred years has indeed changed a lot of things.

The devil probably can't understand why a group of male humans can beat them back and beat them in strength and speed. This unknown will undoubtedly bring fear, so when it came to the last two mad demons, the opponent almost gave up resistance, and was eventually controlled by Zephyr who took advantage of the situation, and also used a spear to shoot down one that tried to come to the rescue. similar.

Now the replacement artillery has entered the position, and the four artillery pieces that were overturned by the terror beasts in the melee have also been re-erected. They will surely be able to join the ranks of attacking the enemy again soon. As for the fortress cannon, which was the fastest to recover and was always firing, every shot of the cannon became an inspiring horn.

"How many enemies are left?" Agatha asked Zoe after everyone gathered.

"Sixteen, if they don't have new reinforcements." Zoe looked at the sky, "The flying terror beasts have lost nearly 70%. No matter what their purpose is, they have already failed at this level. Not yet. Retreating must be preparing for a final attack."

"The final attack?" Agatha couldn't help but frowned.

In order to avoid machine gun fire, the remaining devils invariably raised their altitude, even beyond the spear throwing range. If they wanted to get close to the artillery position again, the risk would undoubtedly increase significantly. What's more important is that everyone is fully prepared at this time. Even if they take a wave of spear throwing, they can keep the losses to a minimum. Since failure is a foregone conclusion, retreat is the most reasonable option.

"You used to be a member of the Exploration Society and rarely participated in wars directly, so you may not know much about their habits," Zoe explained calmly, "Adult terrifying beasts that can fly freely are a big problem even for devils. The more precious individuals can dispatch so many at once. There must be a high-level commander among these crazy demons. For such demons, the mission always comes first. If they fail to achieve their goals, most of them would rather die in battle. , nor retreat."

"If that's the case, why didn't it rush down from the beginning?" Zephyr on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Because it hasn't found a suitable opponent," Zoe showed a weird smile, "If there was an extraordinary witch between us, it would have come down long ago if it couldn't move."

"Why?"

"Perhaps it's due to their nature," she turned her gaze to the sky again. "They are murderous, aggressive, and savage. Even if they become more and more human-like, they can't change this... If it weren't for this characteristic, Natalya It is impossible for the Lord and the Queen of Starfall to find a chance to fight against high-level demon slayers in the army of demons, and finally break through to transcendence."

In other words, the enemy did not join the attack immediately because he underestimated him, and then refused to evacuate because of responsibility? Putting aside whether this inference is correct, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be able to tell the promotion experience of two out of three seats so straightforwardly.

Agatha couldn't help but said, "In the Federation era, who were you..."

“Didn’t Master Pasha tell you?” Zoe smiled, “I was once one of Master Nataya’s shadow guards, and I was also the “Red Lotus” in the Holy Blessing Army. "

The ice witch found that she had heard this name before - if she was the youngest promoted witch in Taquila and a recognized genius researcher, then Guren was a rising star in the fighting world, a powerful transcendent, and considered the most powerful. An outstanding fighter who could potentially take over from Natalya.

It's a pity that the Federation could not hold out until the opponent broke through.

If I remember correctly, Guren should be about the same age as himself.

But now, there is no trace of the past at all from Zoe.

She seemed to have been shaped by time into a different person.

"They are coming," at this moment, Zoe's words interrupted Agatha's thoughts, "Just protect those fragile mortals and leave the enemy to us."

As if to confirm her statement, Sylvie's exclamation also came from the listening sigil: "Oh my God, what is that! Agatha, be careful! There are many magic sources reacting in the enemy!"

Theoretically, a witch can only have one magic cyclone, but the devil exerts his abilities by embedding magic stones, so he has the possibility of multiple cyclones. For this type of enemies, the Federation collectively calls them high-level devils. Their strengths may vary, but without exception they are all extremely difficult opponents.

"Is it okay?" Hefeng asked worriedly.

"Ah, don't worry," Zoe said slowly, "The path chosen by the Starfall Queen may be a mistake, but one thing is right - the God's Punishment Witch has been prepared to deal with high-level devils since her birth. .”

As he spoke, a black shadow jumped out of the clouds and rushed towards the artillery position!

The other hovering madmen also responded, driving their mounts to dive downwards. Although the direct fall from above greatly restricted the shooting angle of the machine guns in the position, the air defense team arranged on the outer circle was able to fire bullets as much as they wanted. Pour into the enemy's path, even if the devil adopted a snake-like evasion, several were shot down in the process of approaching.

This time, the enemy's spear target was changed to the anti-aircraft machine gun next to the fortress cannon.

There is no doubt that everything they do is just to let the black shadow reach the core.

While assisting the soldiers to resist the bone spears, Agatha was surprised to find that the object that fell like a meteorite was actually a huge terrifying beast. Its size was even larger than Maisie, and its wings and abdomen were covered with black armor, like a piece of armor. A dull crystal. Not only that, its head and horns are also sharper. At first glance, it looks a bit like a legendary "dragon".

The moment it landed, the entire ground shook, and the dust was blown up by the strong wind, making it difficult to open your eyes for a while.

Then the terrifying beast opened its bloody mouth and let out a series of rumination sounds——

A tall black-armored devil emerged from the wet throat of the horror beast and stood in front of everyone.
