The demon army began to gather at around nine o'clock and began to attack the city at around ten o'clock. By the time the summoned stone elements disappeared from sight, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

The legendary Barlow Fire Demon Finkelman waved his hand: "Continue the attack!"

The master-level demons who were the first to fight either soared into the air or jumped a few times to reach a section of the city wall, where they found their old rivals who were also elf masters and fought together.

Five master-level elves can block master-level demons twice their size. In addition to their own advanced equipment, the lack of effort of those demons is also a factor.

Since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, dozens of master-level demons have died. Recently, a 20th-level Barlow Balrog died in the battle that went north to invade the Kingdom of France. With these examples in mind, who knows if an elf who has lived for such a long time has any means to provide support before death, so there is no need to take risks. Now that our side is in a strong position and is about to win, all we need to do is hold off the opponent's master level.

The demon mage cast the "Bilimu Rainbow Bridge" spell again and set up more than a dozen crystal bridges, but this time the half-elf legal professionals did not take action again. Their mental power, spell slots and scrolls were all gone. It's completely consumed.

That is to say, elves and half-elves have long lifespans, and legal professions have high mental power and possess many spell scrolls. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive even the first round of attacks. Now that they have no fighting power, they can only retreat to the rear.

What followed was a brutal offensive and defensive battle. Demons rushed to the city in a steady stream, and the defenders relied on the terrain advantages to resist. There are more than 30 mid-level and high-level professionals on the half-elf side. Seven of them were killed in the outer city defense battle yesterday. The injured can still participate in the battle today after treatment, which means there are still more than 20 people left.

But how many people are there on the other side? There were more than 100 mid-level and high-level demons and more than 400 dark elves who attacked the city wall alone. If it weren't for the support of soldiers forming a battle formation, not a single mid-level or high-level professional would be left on the half-elf side.

Woo! Woo!

When the retreat horn sounded, the defenders lit the prepared kerosene and burned several isolation zones on the city wall to cover the retreat of the soldiers. That's not all. They also set fire to the houses in the inner city and the debris that had been piled on the roads as they retreated.

It will be dark in less than three hours. According to the agreement, the fleet will arrive at the port around six o'clock. Of course, it may be delayed for some reason and arrive late, but it is no longer important. In the end, regardless of whether the city of Astilero could be evacuated or not, it was destined to fall into the hands of the devil. Instead of being destroyed by the enemy, it was better to set it on fire to buy time.

Many big demons are immune to fire, and fire cannot cause them any harm, but little demons cannot pass through the fire without injury. The momentum of the demon army's attack is indeed blocked by the fire.

Whether it was the legendary Balor Fire Demon Finkelman or the legendary priest Hermanai, they only regarded the behavior of the Viscount of Cantabria as the last struggle of a trapped beast.

The inner city is much smaller than the outer city, and the fire will not burn for long, so they don't mind letting the attacking army stop for a while to wait for the fire to subside.

The entire city of Astilero is surrounded by an army of demons. Although it has a seaport, it is monitored by large demons and dark elf mages with the ability to fly. There is not a single ship in the port, and they are now unable to fly.

Of course there are no ships in the port. All the ships set sail last night filled with refugees and have not returned yet.

As for the Viscount of Cantabria, including reinforcements, there are 4,000 half-elf soldiers, 1,000 elven soldiers, more than 30 mid-level and high-level professionals, nearly 200 low-level professionals, and more than 100 legal professions. writers and pastors. In order to cope with today's city defense battle, one thousand young militiamen were added to the army last night.

Now when the casualties are counted, nearly 3,000 of the 5,000 and a half elven soldiers (counting the militia) have been killed, and more than 300 of the 1,000 elven soldiers have been killed. Elf soldiers are mainly archers, and their equipment and level are higher than those of half-elf soldiers, so the casualties are small. Even these casualties are mainly caused by dark elves.

There were only four elves left among the mid-level and high-level professionals, and the rest were all killed in the battle. There are less than thirty low-level professionals left, but only about twenty people from the legal system and priests have been sacrificed. In the battle with the devil, the seriously injured cannot be evacuated at all, and there is no ability to treat them on the battlefield, so as long as they cannot come back, they will die in battle.

They killed tens of thousands of little demons, nearly a hundred low-level demons, and several medium- and high-level large demons, but this loss was not worth mentioning to the demon army.

The final line of defense is a circular area with a radius of one thousand meters centered on the Mage Tower, and the port is also within this range. Since it can receive attack spell support from the mage tower, it is relatively difficult for demons to attack.

With the current strength of the demon army, even the mage tower in its heyday can definitely be captured, not to mention that half of the energy has been consumed to summon the stone elements, so how long it can hold depends on the intensity of the demon army's attack.

.

As for the human coalition, after a brief rest, they immediately set off from Leon County, Kingdom of Iberia, preparing to attack the main demonic force from behind.

The Viscount of Cantabria knew that the coalition forces had set off. After all, the actions of such a large army could not be concealed. Don't talk about him, even the devil knows.

Yesterday morning, his distress letter was also sent to Margherita, the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia, and delivered to King Alfonso, hoping that His Majesty the King would allow the coalition forces to come to rescue as soon as possible.

Subsequently, this letter for help was forwarded to the coalition commander, the legendary knight Miguel de Saavedra, through the portable communication circle, for him to make a decision.

Due to the "Wing Cavalry", "Ranger Squad", and "Mercenary Squad" cleaning up the demon squad and scattered demons, the whereabouts of the human army after entering the no-man's land cannot be detected. In fact, they had penetrated deep into the Viscounty of Cantabria, but the demon was not aware of it at all.

After the legendary knight Miguel de Saavedra saw the letter asking for help, he still ordered the army to advance step by step.

The mission of the coalition forces is to destroy demons rather than rescue a local noble, and this noble is still a half-elf. Besides, rashly changing the marching speed of the army is likely to cause a disconnect between the various legions, leading to early discovery by the devil.

Besides, Miguel de Saavedra didn't think that the Cantabrian army could hold on for more than a day. Even if the coalition forces speeded up, the city of Astilero would be in ruins by the time they arrived.

Of course, that's what he was thinking but couldn't reply like this. Miguel de Saavedra's reply to the Viscount of Cantabria was as follows: "If you hold on firmly, there will be a way. The coalition forces are moving closer to you."
