Chapter 92

Just as Da Fei was about to retreat, the rumbling of iron hooves came from the ground, and a squad of patrolling dog cavalry kicked up a cloud of dust as they rushed over. Clearly, the sudden extinguishing of the tower had caught their attention.

Da Fei's heart tightened. Trouble!

The Meihuang, a unit with the special ability to scout independently, didn't matter; he could call them to retreat at any time. But the flower spirits were a different story! Ordinary troops like them had to follow the hero to retreat. If not for the game rules, Da Fei would have simply shouted, "You fly into the barrier, don't worry about me," but the game was the game. If Da Fei couldn't escape, neither could they. If Da Fei were to die, his troops would either fight to the death or scatter like birds and beasts, according to the game rules. In short, this rescue mission would be for nothing.

Fortunately, he still had the warship's cannons as backup. He could only rely on the ballista to break through! Especially now that the watchtower had drawn their attention, they hadn't noticed the golden barrier containing the warship, making it even easier to act.

Here they come! A Blood Knight riding a Nightmare Beast charged forward, the legendary Level 8 Hell Baron, right? I don't care what title you have; at most, you're just a boss. I've killed more than a hundred bosses, let alone with sixteen ballistas aimed at you now!

The Blood Knight charged to the base of the watchtower and roared, "Damn it! What's going on with the watchtower! Why isn't it working!"

Da Fei was taken aback. Level 8 units can talk? While units can say simple commands like "Yes, sir," this much talk clearly wasn't a simple command.

No one answered. The Blood Knight, growing impatient, dismounted and kicked the watchtower door with a loud bang. "Open up!"

Da Fei's eyes widened. This guy clearly had a fiery red hero aura under his feet! Damn! It's a Hell hero! He hadn't noticed when the knight was riding the flaming Hell Horse!

In that instant, Da Fei made a decision—kill him! The Phantom Ballista's double-shot! Aim all the ballistas at the door!

At this moment, the warship and Da Fei were in the same battlefield area. As the supreme commander, Da Fei could command the troops on the spot. This was the convenience of the game.

The hero roared, "Daring to neglect your duties! I'll hang you with my own hands!"

Another kick—boom! The watchtower door exploded!

Da Fei's eyes widened. This is the door of a watchtower, equivalent to a small city gate! Could he really kick down a city gate with one leg? What a terrifying hero! The thought of having to kill such a powerful hero made Da Fei's heart race to his throat! At the same time, an even more fervent thought surged in his mind—kill him!

What does killing such a powerful hero mean? Such a powerful hero is rarely seen in normal circumstances! Yes, Level 8 units are the royal guards of the Demon King's Hall, and it's rare to see them. What about a hero among Level 8 units? For the human race, a Level 7 unit is an angel, so this Level 8 hero must be something like an archangel! Now, being targeted by sixteen ballistas, including the legendary Phantom Ballista, without even noticing it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Da Fei clenched his fists!

—Bang! Another kick, and the watchtower door exploded with a loud crash!

—Now!

Several ballista arrows shot out from the barrier. Perhaps the loud crash of the door masked the sound of the arrows, or perhaps the hero couldn't adjust his posture or strength after just kicking the door. He only managed to turn his head slightly—bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

In a shower of ice shards, he was blasted into the watchtower! This was the effect Da Fei wanted, and he was so excited he almost jumped!

In that instant, the troops outside the door were in chaos!

—Swish, swish, swish, swish! The second volley of ballista arrows followed, blasting into the watchtower door, and the ice shards from the Phantom Ballista exploded again!

In the bombardment of ice shards, the dozens of Hell Hounds outside the door couldn't withstand the second wave of magic and died instantly!

Da Fei's eyes widened! No system notification! The hero wasn't dead! He had taken a dozen ballista arrows and a magic arrow on his back and still survived! Was this a boss-level hero? Like Reonoa?

Saturation attack! Boom! Keep blasting! Blast the tower to pieces! Da Fei gritted his teeth, his expression twisted in a fierce grimace!

The entire Demon camp sounded the alarm! A large number of patrolling troops began to gather here, and the doors of the Demon mechanical factory opened with a rumble. The sound of massive machinery echoed through the camp, and although he didn't know what it was, it sounded like a secret weapon.

Da Fei's heart was in knots. Killing a Level 8 hero seemed too unrealistic. I'm not giving up! I'll wait for one more shot, and then I'll break through, no matter what!

One second! Two seconds! Time seemed to slow down for Da Fei. He had never thought that the passage of time could be so slow. It was just like those slow-motion replays of crucial goals in TV, a true reflection of the world as seen by the players!

As if crossing time and space, a row of ballistas shot through the golden barrier! In that instant, Da Fei felt his vision distort. Was it sweat blurring his eyes? Was it a hallucination from the tension?

—Boom, boom, boom, boom! The watchtower was showered with ice dust!

Da Fei's eyes widened! It wasn't sweat blurring his vision, nor was it a hallucination. Something red appeared before him! A Blood Knight with a back full of ballista arrows and covered in frost appeared not far from him!

Da Fei's jaw dropped! This was the teleportation of a Greater Demon! He was a being beyond a Greater Demon, capable of teleportation! He had moved to a position out of the ballista's range! He was kneeling, not in the best condition!

Finish him off!

In that instant, Da Fei didn't think. With a wave of his hand, the hidden flower spirits and Meihuang pounced!

—System notification: Your troops have engaged in battle, and the Phantom March effect has disappeared!

Faced with the sudden attack of the flower spirits, the Level 8 hero let out a blood-curdling scream, "Someone!"

The Hell Horse troops, who had been hesitant at the watchtower door, charged forward with flaming iron hooves.

Da Fei knew he had made a mistake, and this mistake would mean the flower spirits would scatter. No, even if it was a mistake, he would finish the job under fire and send the Meihuang away before losing!

Da Fei charged at the wounded hero, and amidst the swirling dust, a flower appeared first, followed by a spear like a dragon!

—System notification: Congratulations! You have defeated the Epic Hero Asmodeus, gaining 500,000 experience points and 20,000 gold! You have obtained the enemy's A-rank strategic treasure, the "Hourglass of Misfortune"!

—System notification: Congratulations! You have reached Level 27! You have gained 1 free attribute point...

—System notification: Congratulations! Your secondary hero Serbia has reached Level 22!

—System notification: Congratulations! Your Meihuang troops have survived the most brutal battle and have grown into qualified soldiers!

Da Fei let out a long, triumphant laugh! With the hero's defeat, some of the charging Nightmare Beasts scattered, while others continued to advance!

Break through! Run as much as you can!
