Chapter 0411 Prelude
Inside the Witch Tower.
The exploration crystals and witchcraft eyes placed in the passages were discovered and destroyed one by one by the enemy, but the remaining ones still showed the real situation outside on the water mirror in the central hall.
Looking at the terrifying scene of thousands of people in the passage and the appearance of many wild beasts running and roaring, all the apprentices who stayed in the Witch Tower couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats, silently thinking whether it was right for them to stay here.
The underground passages are connected in all directions, and rock cracks and ground fissures that can barely allow people to pass through can be found in any area. So as long as they escape from the Witch Tower and hide in an unmanned corner far away, they may still be able to avoid this "unforeseen disaster".
The strength of the two sides is so disproportionate that even those quasi-witch disciples who have followed Grimm for a long time have lost their confidence in victory. Many people silently hope that Grimm will give an order and they will abandon the tower and flee, so that some people may still survive.
Once the gate is blocked by the beast tide, and there is no teleportation array in the Wu Tower, what other means can they use to escape?
The apprentices in the tower worked hard to do their own work, while thinking in agony. Many times, they have no answer in their hearts, and dare not have an answer!
Although the name of their mentor, the Fire Demon, resounds through the sky in the Ferdinand area, but... facing the terrifying opponents like mountains and seas, how many can the individual kill no matter how strong they are? You know, among the monster leaders who attacked this time, there are as many as 5 elite monsters, and there are 17 wizard-level monsters. As for ordinary monsters, there are no less than three digits.
On the other hand, Grimm can barely be regarded as an elite wizard, Gargamel is a veteran wizard, and Meryl is a new wizard. In addition to them, the strongest guardian force of the Wu Tower is a group of 11 underground scorpion lions and the mechanical girl Sabrina.
Among the 12 apprentices who followed, there were 5 quasi-wizards and 7 senior apprentices.
With such strength, if they were equipped with a well-functioning wizard tower, they would still have a chance to fight. But... even if this wizard tower has been desperately storing energy for four days, the element pool in the energy room is still not full. Once the battle starts, it will be difficult to sustain for more than 1 hour.
If the battle is too intense, this time will be even shorter!
Although the apprentices did not go to the energy room to see the truth, even if they only use their toes to think, they can understand that the wizard tower must be empty of energy at this time and lacks the strength to recover.
However, in contrast, Grimm's attitude is unusually firm and resolute!
Grimm only let the scorpions drive the underground creatures to block the underground passage, and he did not fill any apprentices into the extremely terrifying underground maze. With the apprentices' strength, it is almost wishful thinking to want to block the beasts' attack without any cover and protection.
So Grimm didn't bother to do that, but gathered them all in the witch tower, and each person was assigned an attacking witch formation. He, Gargamel, and Meryl were directly responsible for guarding the gate of the witch tower. Once the battle started, there would undoubtedly be the most fierce area of the war!
…………
In the third hour after the beasts launched the attack, the surface beasts that continued to advance finally broke through the underground maze and continuously poured into the underground cave where the witch tower was located.
Like a super giant octopus, the army of beasts continued to extend inside the cave, and the huge number of teams instantly occupied every inch of space in sight.
On the ground, there were countless ferocious beasts such as lions, tigers, cheetahs, and of course, there were also terrifying monsters such as jungle trolls, forest goblins, violent apes, razor boars, jungle sloths, and lightning leopards; the sky was full of flying birds such as crows, turtledoves, and woodpeckers, among which there were also fierce birds such as thunder eagles, two-legged dragons, and griffins...
Among the beasts that came like a tide, there were also many harmless creatures such as spotted snakes, sika deer, and owls. Bustling, all the creatures gathered together, roaring and roaring in unison towards the witch tower in the center of the cave that was emitting dazzling fluorescence.
Almost as soon as they stepped into the cave, huge magical energy fluctuations rose above the witch tower, and lava fireballs dragged long black smoke tails like meteors and fell into the beast herd from afar.
Boom, boom, boom...
It was like a dense howitzer exploding at the same time, and the beast herd that had just appeared was blown to pieces in an instant, with casualties everywhere. Wherever the violent flame shock wave swept, those jungle beasts with weak vitality were killed and injured in an instant. The magma fire rain splashing everywhere instantly destroyed a large group of beasts.
Not to mention ordinary jungle beasts, even ordinary monsters with primary magic resistance could not resist such a fierce and violent fireball!
The vanguard of the herd that had just rushed into the cave was instantly destroyed!
What's more terrifying is that wherever the magma fire rain splashing everywhere falls, a raging fire will be ignited. The terrifying high temperature and fierce flames make those small animals burn into ashes as soon as they approach.
Facing the magic flames caused by elemental witchcraft, beasts and birds without any magic resistance can't get close at all. No matter how many there are, they will die if they are filled in!
And this is not an ordinary natural flame, it is difficult to suppress them with the huge number of beasts.
Therefore, after the entrance of the cave was blocked by the magic fire, the ordinary beasts struggled desperately and dared not move forward, but were pushed forward step by step by the "companions" who kept coming from behind, and then were squeezed into the sea of fire with despair on their faces.
After Grimm initially determined the race of the attacking beasts, he had adjusted most of the attack magic in the witch tower to lava fireballs. The wizard apprentices did not need to consume their own strength at all, they just needed to stay comfortably in the witch tower, and then release the lava fireballs to the pre-determined area according to Grimm's instructions.
In order to save the energy of the witch tower as much as possible, Grimm did not support the full-cover protective force field, but invested all the energy in the attack witch formation.
With just a dozen lava fireballs, Grimm completely sealed the entrance of the cave. If the subsequent beasts wanted to rush in, they would not be able to get close to the witch tower without paying a price.
After the first round of fireball attacks, all the apprentices stopped attacking and waited quietly for Grimm's instructions.
This also reflects the horror of fire witchcraft!
Most other witchcrafts will disappear naturally after raging for a while after being released. However, after the lava fireball chosen by Grimm exploded, a small magma sea of fire was created on the ground near the cave entrance. If the magma does not condense and extinguish, the sea of fire will never disappear.
Therefore, they last for a very long time and are particularly difficult to eliminate.
Seeing that the advance of the beast group was blocked with only a dozen fireballs, the apprentices in the witch tower immediately cheered.
However, Grimm did not wait for long, and the beast group blocked in the front soon made new movements.
Like a blowout, a black mass of birds flew over the heads of the beast group and rushed into the cave with a roar. They formed a dense formation and rushed to the witch tower from the air.
Grimm, who was standing in the control hall of the witch tower, swept his mental power and did not care about these birds.
Although their numbers are dense and their momentum is scary, if you really look closely, most of them are almost harmless common birds. Monsters like wyverns, thunder eagles, and griffins are few after all!
Grimm's hand flashed red, and as he whispered, an order was issued to the leader of the scorpion lions.
A sealed window on the third floor of the witch tower suddenly opened, and nine wizard-level scorpion lions rushed out in a line. They did not fight against the black flock of birds, but circled around the witch tower.
Under Grimm's command, the second round of lava fireballs hit the flock of birds.
Like the first round of attacks, the violent witchcraft attacks brought devastating blows to the flock of birds. No matter how ferocious the birds are, as long as they are touched by a little bit of magma fire rain, they will burst into a huge fireball.
So after the second round of witchcraft, the air in the cave that was airtight just now became sparse in an instant.
The leader of the scorpion lions took the opportunity to immediately meet the exposed flying monsters with several adult scorpion lions, while the two young scorpion lions flapped their bat wings and rushed into the flock of birds, killing them crazily.
For a moment, the noisy birds' screams and the angry roars of the scorpion lions became a ball!
The two sides madly collided and strangled each other in the air near the witch tower, and the bird corpses and large amounts of blood fell like raindrops.
Under Grimm's strict order, the scorpion lions would never stay away from the witch tower even if the battle was fierce. Whenever they were besieged by fierce flying monsters, they quickly took shelter in the witch tower's protective circle, grabbed the tower wall with their sharp claws and rested for a while.
And if the flying monsters fighting with them dared to get close, a lava fireball would fly out of the witch tower. Within a range of 100 meters, only those small and flexible flying monsters could successfully avoid the attack of the fireball. As for the big guys like the wyvern, they were often forced to use their membrane wings to push away the fireballs.
Then, the magma fire rain and the flame shock wave that exploded next, it could only rely on its strong body to withstand it.
So when a wyvern and a griffin were blown to pieces by the lava fireball and fell headfirst into the sky, all the flying monsters dared not approach the witch tower anymore.
In this way, although the number of scorpion lions was far less than that of birds, they still fought well with the other side with the protection of the witch tower, which made the number of birds in the sky begin to decrease rapidly.
However, relying on the desperate entanglement of the birds, the beasts that had time to spare finally broke through the blockade of the sea of fire at the entrance of the cave, and once again poured into the cave hall where the witch tower was located like a tide. chapter;
