The raindrops fell on the ground like boiling hot oil, and actually evaporated into hot steam. When they came into contact with the armor, they directly melted the fine iron armor into a high-temperature liquid, making the soldiers on the city wall scream in pain for a moment.

Even those instruments would be burned into pieces if they came into contact with rain.

Large sections of the city wall suddenly turned into boiling areas where people could not stand. No matter how solid the armor was, it could not defend against the high-temperature steam that penetrated every pore. Staying here was no different from being thrown into boiling water and boiled.

Sani Tower: "The defenders in the middle section of the west wall retreated to the ground."

If the defenders on the city wall retreated, it meant that they could only rely on the projectile weapons under the wall to blindly attack the demons outside the barrier, and the killing efficiency was reduced by more than half.

A high-level transcendent may not be able to decide the outcome of a war, but he can easily influence the situation, let alone a legendary being like the Lord of Hell.

Rusalka was a little puzzled after hearing Sanita's report: (Didn't they say that fire spells were banned?)

Sanita: (Spells composed of fire elements are indeed banned, but this is a high-temperature liquid formed by the reversal of water elemental magic. It should be the reversal of the advanced magic rainfall spell "Boiling Rain". This Salinas can actually reverse spells, and his casting speed is too fast. He also doesn't like to show up in public. He is the most difficult type to deal with.)

In the past in the city of Hendalia, the abilities displayed by Lord Salinas of Change came from his flexible and changeable form and powerful immortality, as well as the various and unexpected attack methods produced by controlling the "Thousand Illusions".

I didn't expect that he was so good at magic. Although there was a chance that the reversal spell would backfire and hurt himself, as the lord of hell, he was least afraid of getting hurt. When the demon cast the unique reversal spell of the Supreme Arcane Mage, his compatibility was much higher than that of the human mage.

This Lord of Change is not a good advisor, because he is a strategic idiot for leading his troops to attack Silver City.

But it is a good commander. It is much more "shrewd" than the Lord of Destruction who is on the front line in combat. It knows how to maximize its role on the battlefield. It also hides behind the legion in a despicable way, trying to use his military advantage to drag Rusalka to death.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it was because the city of Hendalia was beaten too hard that time. He said at that time that he would let Rusalka taste the power of the legion, so this time he specifically let the demon legion push the front line to prove that his statement at that time, "If he has the legion in his hand, he will never lose," was not bragging.

If it were other cities, they would easily fall into despair of having no cards to play when faced with a powerful support like Salinas.

But unfortunately, this is Silver City!

With a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the city, a shadow covering the sky and the sun fell over the heads of the demon army.

Even more deadly than the boiling blood rain was the purple acid rain that followed.

This burst of purple rain corroded holes in the demons' wings, forcing them to use flying techniques to maintain their flight.

But a worse situation occurred. The raindrops mixed with the steam were unexpectedly dissolved and evaporated by the high temperature, mixing with the steam to form a large area of ​​boiling poisonous fog, which continued to spread in all directions.

The demon, who was unable to break through the barrier, was poisoned and hot blood oozed out from the holes in his organs.

Now, this area has completely become a no-man's land in dire straits. Sanita immediately ordered everyone to retreat and not to approach the south city wall.

Even high-level demons and devils cannot withstand the damage. If anyone is touched by this steam and poisonous mist, I am afraid that even an extraordinary person will be killed or crippled.

Rusalka glanced at the status bar prompt that popped up in the lower right corner.

[Damage from high temperature, HP-2]

Poison Immunity

I am also one of the extraordinary people, why don’t I feel the dire situation?

Chapter 490: Silver City Defense (4)

Onyxia's voice echoed through the sky. Relying on her high magic resistance, high armor, and poison immunity, she swooped into the poisonous fog. Opening her maw, she bit a dreadlord in the waist, her saliva instantly turning it into pus. "The time for revenge has come! Little bugs!"

Rusalka: You are the only one here who is seeking revenge in World War II. We are all newbies in World War I.

An unprecedented excitement filled her blood. Ever since she left Dragon Island, she thought she had no more emotions in her heart and would spend the rest of her life as silent as soil. However, she never thought that this little blue bug somehow made her want to try again, and actually fulfilled its promise, allowing her to face the demon army and the lord of hell once again.

She broke through the barrier and spread her wings, accepting the baptism of attacks from the demons in the sky, muttering in her dragon mouth: "Die schone Landschaft muss nur so gesehen werden, auch wenn alles zu Asche brennt." (The beauty only needs to be seen like this, even if everything is burned to ashes)

Rusalka: (What's that horned woman mumbling? Buddy, please translate German into Chinese!)

Sanitieta: (Now I finally understand why she blamed her teammates for not being strong enough.)

He translated it for Rusalka and also explained what would happen next.

Rusalka was a little unhappy, not because Onyxia didn't recognize relatives or friends when fighting, but because he couldn't accept that he was not as educated as a dragon.

"Quick, activate forced teleportation! Send the black dragon in the air far away!"

Sanita activated the teleportation rune without hesitation. With a flash of light, Onyxia was sent to a place several hundred meters away.

When she finished chanting the dragon language magic, an emerald green storm suddenly arose around her. Countless poisonous needles flew out, piercing the surrounding demons and turning them into pus.

In just a few minutes, using toxins and dissolved corpses, a large poisonous swamp was created on the ground.

Onyxia looked at the indiscriminate storm of needles, a hint of confusion in her huge golden pupils: Why is this spell like this? She remembered that the last time she used this magic, it should have set off a storm of green poisonous fire that continued to spread outward.

Sanita breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and her spells were also converted. Otherwise, even if there were more friendly troops nearby, they would not be enough for her to create.

But this sudden burst of teleportation also surprised Salinas immensely.

What? This is clearly a human city, yet there's a black dragon?

The black dragon is commanding the human army. What era are you talking about?

During the First Demon War, most humans were vassals of the dragon clan, and this was indeed something widely known to demons.

But now the world has become dominated by humans. The dragons retreated to Dragon Island on the sea and never returned. The relationship between them and humans has become completely hostile. This should be the exact information I have received, right?

The information on Salinas is very comprehensive. He is indeed the weakest among the six lords of hell in a head-on single combat, but he is also the one who poses the greatest threat.

Because it lacks hard power, it uses its ability to obtain some knowledge in a short period of time by devouring living beings. It constantly uses the sacrifices of believers from the main plane to learn the latest main plane knowledge and expand its soft power.

Although the memory obtained by "devouring" will disappear with the passage of time, as if it had never existed, it seems that nothing is gained in the end.

However, you can also use "effort" and "persistence" to achieve the operation of retaining memory: you only need to record it on a carrier before the memory disappears, or use memory as a basic springboard to learn some new knowledge that is not originally in the memory, then this part of the content can be transformed into its own real memory to be mastered.

So when it was in the city of Hendalia, it devoured the memory of Grand Duke Delei and gained some of his interpersonal knowledge. Although it knew Rusalka's name at that time, it disappeared with the passage of time.

But when he was finally sent back by the Demon Gate, the strange name that Rusalka reported was not in Grand Duke Delei's memory, so it was retained.

No matter what, Salinas is indeed the most "diligent" lord of hell. He has not slacked off for a single day in thousands of years in hell, and every day he engraves the memories he has absorbed in his castle.

Since memory disappears gradually and is almost imperceptible, he has to review the content he has recorded every day. When he finds that there is a part that is not in his head, he will immediately know that this is his latest "forgotten" content. He will then memorize it all and turn it into his own memory before burning the carrier.

Finally, he combined these memories with his own research and achievements, and completely transformed them into his own strength.

Accept sacrifices, engrave, recite, understand, and destroy, day after day.

He successfully turned himself into a legend of almost all-round talent. Although he may not be able to reach the pinnacle in any area, he is also a bucket without any shortcomings or flaws.

Not only that, he is also familiar with the changes and maps of the main plane. While other lords of hell are thinking about how to fight the dragon, Salinas has transformed his body and strength into the best form to "fight against humans and orcs."

The lives of humans and orcs are very fragile, but they have the advantage of being numerous and having diverse abilities. Therefore, you have to give up your powerful lethality and power and convert them all into attack range and attack type.

Facts proved that his idea was correct. Human cities could be easily taken over when it was specifically targeted.

And he was not the "strategic idiot" that Rusalka and Sanita laughed at. The reason why he chose to attack Silver City first was precisely because he realized that "in the entire Sinidi Kingdom, only Rusalka and Sanita in Silver City could pose a threat to him."

How could such a threat be allowed to go unchecked? Every day it continued to do so would cause it to suffer from sleepless nights.

What's more, if the demon army defeats Sinidi, just like the first demon war, this group of elite troops in the east will begin to retreat eastward, eventually leading to all the masters gathering in the east, the width of the front line will be narrowed, and it will be difficult to deal with.

While they are still confidently hiding in the city and trying to resist, and have not thought about escaping, they must be defeated one by one with lightning speed. Rusalka and Sanita must be killed with personal hands, so that Salinas can be completely at ease.

His ideas are indeed ahead of the times. If it were a game of chess, he would be at the fourth level.

Seeing that the poisonous fog in the air quickly dissipated and the puppets were completely destroyed, with only the last winged Rusalka still fighting alone, Salinas did not hesitate to raise a dirt bridge between the hole in the barrier and the ground, and ordered the demon troops to rush into the hole and climb the wall. Relying on the strength of their individual strength, they could kill the human troops who did not have time to return to the top of the city and take down the city wall.

But emerald green arrows rained down from the sky as if falling from the atmosphere, shattering his vision.

"What? There are elves too? How can there be so many of them?! Aren't these guys supposed to be isolated in the Elf Forest, with no contact with the outside world?"

What's more, didn't Lord End send Brad to destroy the other side? Even if Brad failed, the elves should have been pushed to the brink of extinction. How could there still be so many survivors?

And it’s in this small human town that is so far away from the Elf Forest. What kind of place is this!

But unfortunately, he had not anticipated that he would encounter an international and diversified Silver City.

In the military area behind the city wall, the climbing vines that had been planted in the soil in advance were watered by the magic array arranged around them, which absorbed the wood-attribute magic power emitted by the demons. With the help of the elven druid's secret technique, the vines instantly broke out of the ground, and soared into the sky with an aura that matched its name, growing much taller than the city wall.

Thousands of elves jumped onto the leaves along the vines, using the high ground to start shooting freely.

Those were the elite squads of rangers who had withdrawn from the Elven Forest. They wreaked havoc in Onyxia, attracting a large number of demons to besiege it. They accurately found the spellcasters and elite units among the demons, and the arrows in their hands were aimed at the targets like lightning, carrying out point-and-shoot sniping.

This killing efficiency is indeed very high, but it also increases the decibel level of Rusalka.

The elves' attacks were effective, killing all the demons with high health. Even Rusalka lost another tube of health without paying attention: (Brother, do you think I'm immune to everything?)

Sanita: (Oh, I almost forgot about you. Hurry back. You're running around in front, blocking all the arrows with your back, affecting the range of the long-range attacks from behind.)

Rusalka: (Your words? Shouldn't we first talk about why there's an arrow in my back?)

Sanita: (You're still going to attack even though all the puppets are dead. I didn't expect that. Oh my, I shouldn't have overestimated your intelligence.)

Salinas: "Cast Blight, destroy those plants and the spirits within them! Use their lives to perform the ritual!"

In response to its command, the demon warlocks all lit up dark green magic circles in their hands, and the malicious fel energy waves gathered together and pointed at the vines.

Sanita: "Aili, deploy the sacred barrier!"

Ai Li nodded, took out his scripture, and said to the team of priests who were already on standby, "Everyone, lend me your strength. We must not let the tragedy of Hendaria happen again. God Light, please answer my prayers!"

The clergy of Esdi seemed to have the skill of "cooperation", including the previous collective charge of the Paladin Legion. At this moment, hundreds of priests gathered together to pray, and they arranged a simple ritual magic with Ai Li as the core, and once again unfolded a pure white barrier behind the city barrier to protect the elven plants.

The evil thoughts and curses that poured in from the cave began to melt away the moment they touched the barrier, just like ice and snow encountering sunlight. Ai Li's strength had also improved a lot, and the technique ran quite smoothly.

When everyone's holy light converged on her, golden wings faintly appeared behind her, and even Hydra, who "saw" her, was stunned.

How could Ai Li's temperament at this moment be so similar to Theresa's?

At this moment, Sanita said to Rusalka in the private chat channel: (It's almost time. Activate your torch effect and target the wood element.)

[Late Night Flashing High Beams in the Oncoming Lane]: Every 10 seconds (per turn), forcibly dispels all random buffs of level 3 or lower from all enemies within a 1km radius of the torch (if the buff is a persistent aura, the dispel effect lasts for 10 seconds). This also interrupts spellcasting concentration, spellcasting chanting, or spellcasting progress of a specific element. This element can only be switched once per battle.

When Rusalka activated the torches, a group of dark figures suddenly appeared above the city wall and were gliding down towards the military area. They were so densely packed that it made people's scalps numb.

Shadow Fiends, Challenge Level 6, have the innate abilities of advanced invisibility and flight. The natural thorns on their arms can easily penetrate magic and light to medium armor. They are highly threatening assassin units, and the most troublesome thing is that they are also low-level demons, so they often act in groups.

Although the word "shadow" is in their names as well, they are no match for the followers of Lady Shadow. Before Rusalka's torch could illuminate them, two black shadows had already jumped into the air, and with a flick of their swords, they killed more than a dozen shadow demons. Then, a distorted shadow area exploded in the air, forcibly dragging all the demons in the area into the shadow plane.

Rusalka, who had retreated from the air to the rear as instructed by Sanita, looked at Phoenix who was sitting on the side eating snacks, then looked at the inverted shadow plane area in the air and the two shadow warrior cats jumping back and forth in it.

Oh my god, a proxy player! They won’t ban this?

The shadow demons whose advanced invisibility was destroyed by the torches were also in big trouble. Although their attack methods were very insidious, they were also the most fragile units among the demons. It only took an arrow to penetrate their heads and vital parts to take their lives easily. They didn't even have armor on their bodies, so any weapon could pierce their bodies.

Of course, the soldiers on the ground would not foolishly wait for them to rush around the rear or lurk along the edge of other sections of the city wall. They simply followed the orders of Sani Iron Tower and activated the hundreds of blade cars in a row and ejected them, cutting off the fallen shadow demons in half like harvesting wheat ears.

As for those who survived, there was no need to trouble the elven archers for help. They were shot by the crossbowmen and longbowmen who were lined up in the back and ready to go, taking turns to shoot at them. By the time they rushed to the front of the formation a hundred meters away, they had already been shot into hedgehogs.

"Oh, it's all complete. If we let Vishas roll up the moat and give them a taste of the toxic water elemental collision, it will be like connecting with all the IPs in the world." Rusalka took a sip of water, smacked her lips, and asked, "Oh, right, where's Vishas? I haven't seen her in a while."

Sanita: (When I was at the western border, I asked her to go back to the sea and ask Nohat to bring reinforcements. I guess she's gathering troops now.)

Upon hearing that his friend had predicted the opponent's move countless steps ahead, Rusalka said smugly, "Alas, we in Silver City actually have a reserve team's reserve team. If I were Salinas, I'd have already deployed the Hibiki Maru. I'm curious, why is he still insisting on winning? What method do he plan to use to win? I'm still young, I've only been in this world for seven years, and I haven't seen much of the world. Please, Demon Lord on the other side, let this newbie see the methods of you prison players."

As soon as he finished speaking in the private chat channel, he saw four extremely thick blood-red beams of light shooting up into the sky from the four distant directions of Silver City. The terrifying ritual fluctuations pressed down from all directions, even suppressing the light on Ai Li's barrier and dimming it.

The sun in the sky turned into a huge burning fireball, and the surrounding area was completely enclosed by a barrier of flames. The entire Silver City seemed to be trapped by a huge bowl.

Salinas's wild laughter echoed from all directions. "Haha, thanks to the grace of Lord End, we now have enough sacrifices for the ceremony. Foolish fellow, now witness the wrath of the endless demonic army!"

Well, this is a familiar ritual, but this time, its scope and effect are far more powerful than the city of Hendalia.

All the demons flashed with a strange red light, their combat effectiveness increased instantly, and the pressure on the ground troops increased sharply!

Sanita: (Xiao brother! What a mouth you have!)

Chapter 491: Silver City Defense (5)

Every time I open my mouth, the situation reverses. It's like a turn-based game, which is too unbelievable.

Rusalka was really puzzled, and he even had doubts: Could it really be a problem with his mouth?

Yuyu, I have actually mastered it without realizing it?

It didn't cost anything to try, so he started shouting, "The ritual is gone!"

What? The Lord of Pearl Tears has another trick up his sleeve?!

Everyone around looked at them in surprise.

But soon everyone noticed that the crimson sky did not change with Rusalka's speech, so everyone's eyes became blank and confused again.

Rusalka was also a little depressed: It seems that I haven’t learned to make my words come true. What’s wrong with this?

Sanita actually knew that this objective situation had little to do with Rusalka. The premise of arranging this ceremony required a large amount of vitality as a basic support, and the larger the scope and effect of the ceremony, the more vitality was needed.

The massacre of a city and the accumulated vitality of the cultists were only enough to support the blockade of the city of Hendalia. Now the scale of the ceremony is several times larger than it was then, and the vitality required is not a simple multiplication, but an exponential expansion.

How long had the demons been invading? Where did all this new vitality come from? Maggie had already proven that if this thing wasn't used quickly, it would enter reincarnation. Collecting and preserving large quantities was also very difficult.
