Chapter 1122: Chapter 787: Standing Above This Abyss (Part
The main factor is a tactical advantage from above.
Occasionally, a strong Frenzy Demon would crash into the Shield Wall, but it was like hitting a steel mountain, futilely waving its weapon, only to be simultaneously pierced and pinned down by several Long Spears beneath the wall.
The Night Watcher’s defense line stood as solid as rock.
"Amazing! This unit is incredible!"
Karas almost pressed his beak against the cold stone ledge, his voice distorted with extreme shock, "They... they’re slaughtering! Slaughtering demons like mowing wheat! Those demons couldn’t even warm up the wall!"
Aryan’s silver-gray eyes were also filled with shock as he stared intently at the dark gray barrier, watching the silent and efficient killing machine: "Discipline... perfect discipline, precise command, and... that absolute calmness in the face of casualties."
He saw a Night Watcher hit by the claws of a Frenzy Demon, the shoulder armor shattering, blood instantly staining the lining, but the Warrior only staggered, grunted, and a nearby comrade immediately filled the position.
Then he quickly stepped back, retrieved a potion from his pouch, and poured it down, the whole process flowing smoothly, as if rehearsed hundreds of times.
No screaming, no panic, only iron will and efficient battlefield handling.
"Fortress... do we really not need..." Grom’s voice was also filled with wavering, his hand gripping the axe handle bulging with veins, both shocked by the Night Watcher’s strength and feeling a bit anxious about this brutal "spectating."
He wanted to participate; how could he miss out on demon slaughtering.
"Watch!" The commander’s voice over the communication array carried unprecedented seriousness and a hint of barely perceptible surprise, "The Abyss’s probing... is not over yet."
As if to confirm his words, from the rear of the chaotic demon flood came the heavy footfalls like muffled thunder.
A few Abyssal Giant Beasts, like moving mountains of flesh, urged by the roars of the Balrog Flame Demon’s projection, pushed aside the low-level demons blocking their path, advancing towards the barrier with a destructive aura!
Their hides were thick, and the effect of ordinary bolts and arrow rain on them was minimal.
Just as these behemoths entered the optimal range of the longbows, Raelia at the top of the barrier moved.
She didn’t even bother to aim.
The massive gray-blue longbow was easily drawn to full moon by her, and on the bowstring was not a physical arrow, but a highly compressed mass of gray-blue energy radiating destructive waves!
The streams of energy entwining the bow surged into the mass like a living creature.
Bzzz——!
A piercing scream tore through the air! The gray-blue energy arrow turned into a destructive stream of light, arriving in an instant!
Boom!!!
It was like a meteor crashing to the ground! A violent explosion erupted on the head of the leading Abyssal Giant Beast!
The terrifying shockwave instantly overturned demons within dozens of meters around it.
The giant beast’s mountainous head was shattered to pieces, and its enormous body collapsed as if its bones were removed, crushing demons that couldn’t dodge in time!
One arrow! Just one arrow! Instantly killed the Abyss’s siege giant beast!
The entire battlefield seemed to have hit a pause button.
The roars of demons, the arrows whizzing through the air from the Night Watchers, even the howling wind of the Abyss, all fell into a brief stagnation at that moment.
On the lookout tower, Karas was utterly speechless, only emitting gasping sounds of "Hah... hah...".
Minotaur Grom’s eyes were wide and round, his jaw nearly dropping to his chest.
Aryan inhaled a deep breath of sulfur-laden air, his fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the stone ledge.
This legendary hero was more formidable than they had imagined.
And judging by the stance, long-range attacks clearly weren’t her true strength, she was obviously more suited for slaughter within the ranks.
On the barrier, Raelia slowly lowered the longbow, the gray-blue energy streams gradually calming on the bow.
Her lava-like gaze swept over the demon remnants below, who completely crumbled and began to trample each other in retreat due to the giant beast’s death. Her cold voice resonated across the battlefield once again:
"Assault team! Clean up the remaining enemies! Leave none alive!"
The dark gray steel barrier stood like a cold, hard, immovable rock in the Abyss.
The filthy tide broke apart, leaving only a battlefield strewn with ruins and silent shock.
The scouts of Blood War Fortress witnessed this crushing battle, left with only one thought: this blood-soaked land had welcomed a trustworthy "new neighbor."
But this was just the vanguard.
Because there were no powerful legendary demons commanding or engaging in it.
This was a simple probing.
Whether it can truly be defended involves many factors.
