Chapter 210 Lure the snake out of its hole
Looking at the epic of mankind, what shines is not only the brilliant greatness, but also many human stars.

People in high positions do not necessarily have a long-term vision. Even if they have extraordinary insight and make wise moves, they are often ruined by the short-sighted people below them.

Is Facco a capable person? Perhaps, he can remember the genealogy of each noble family and recount the heroic deeds of their ancestors. He also has a unique sense of investment and money and can complete the tasks assigned to him very well. More importantly, he has been clinging to the Grand Duke for seven generations.

So it was normal that he was sent to the Jero Fortress to be stuck on the border as a nail.

Semir was born a commoner, and without the title of nobility, his fate changed from then on.

He was a bit stubborn and had no faction to rely on, so he climbed the tallest tree in the empire. Under the glory of the emperor, Semir, a peasant who rose to power through military merit, took over the Wall of Sighs.

As a fourth-level extraordinary being and a court magician, Shupu is in charge of the magic group and has a natural transcendent status.

The triangle has always been the most stable structure. Semir is in charge of military and political affairs, Fake is in charge of logistics, and Shupu assists in defense and assists in managing the barrier. The three parties restrain each other, but have to cooperate.

But a hundred years is too long, so long that the imperial people's impression of the demons is limited to the fact that they come in waves to die and consume the fortress reserves and the empire's national strength.

When people ignore danger, they become bolder. He is a greedy person, but it cannot be denied that he is also a capable person.

The fact that he cooked the accounts to make up for the deficit right under Semir and Shup's noses and kept the entire fortress running smoothly was enough to show that this man was no mediocre person.

Would Fako not understand the consequences of smuggling military supplies? Of course he knew, and he knew it more clearly than Semir, but he only needed to coordinate the regular supply of the empire, create a time difference, discard part of it, and fill part of it, and he could get the thin layer of fat meat that he handled, without anyone noticing, so why not do it?
Unfortunately, the story of a horseshoe has been told so many times that people will always repeat the same mistake. After all, the only lesson humans have learned from history is that they never learn from it.

Semir knocked Facco unconscious with the hilt of his sword and ignored his resentful look, but that was all he could do. He had no power to deal with a noble who took refuge under the Grand Duke.

"There is no time to waste. Follow me now."

Shupu grabbed Semir's shoulders and came to the fortress.

Small meteorites hit the big barrier one after another. Most of them were intercepted by magicians everywhere. The few that were missed fell on the barrier, but were useless except for causing slight vibrations.

But Semir knew that along with the vibration, a large amount of magic stones would be consumed. The demons could afford it, but the Jero Fortress could not wait.

Shupu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a high-ranking demon, and a high-ranking demon that controls elemental magic. Glenn, it looks like we're in trouble this time!"

Semir was concerned about the number of monsters and the condition of the soldiers, which could only be described as very bad.

A large number of monsters continuously emerged through the large portal, and thousands of monsters piled together. These violent monsters showed incredible military discipline under the command of the demons.

Fortunately, the soldiers under his command were all battle-hardened young men, and they were using the weapons on the fortress and the trenches in front of the fortress to gradually wear down the monsters' power.

"How did they build that portal right under the nose of your magic group? Didn't you detect any fluctuations in magic power?" Semir shouted. With this door at the doorstep, the initiative of the battle had shifted to the demons.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We can't wait any longer. The power of the great barrier won't last too long. We must block it!" said Semir.

"I will hold Glenn back, so the pressure on the barrier will be much less. Do you have the confidence to stop the monster's attack?" Shupu said.

Semir did not agree immediately. Going out to intercept would mean a brutal hand-to-hand fight and giving up the advantage of the terrain. The range of the barrier was very large, including the fortress and a large open space in front of the fortress. The tortoise shell tactic was simple and easy to use. It only required sufficient long-range means to greatly reduce casualties.

In front of the fortress is a moat, and on both sides are semi-permanent military defense lines. The intricate trenches are very useful against brainless monsters, and in the middle is a large open space reserved for the knights to charge.

"Make a decision quickly. You don't have that much time to think. Only by breaking the portal can you survive. Otherwise, there will be more and more monsters." Xiupu urged.

Semir spat, "You don't need to rush me. When it comes to magic, I'm not as good as you. When it comes to fighting, you're not as good as me."

"Yumi, where have you been, you bastard? Hurry up and line up. I have a tough bone for you to chew."

"Sherlock, you cripple, why can't you walk faster? I need you to cover Yumi and rush to that dark gate."

"What? Don't worry about that winged demon in the sky. There will be an old man to deal with him."

Semir held a white round badge in his hand, which contained the main spell for linking the communications between the various teams.

Semir, who had entered the state, had an unusual momentum: "Shupu! I want to entangle that demon. No matter what method you use, don't let him release large-scale magic. The air is left to your magic group, and my boys will break through on the ground!"

In wartime, everything depends on the commander, even if he is only a second-level warrior. A magic wand flew out of Shupu's hand, and messages were delivered to the members of the magic group.

Semir was taken to the air by the accompanying magician to observe the monsters' deployment. The remaining magicians were trying to intercept the fireballs that could not be intercepted, and were casting magic to enhance the knights.

Magic arrays appeared one after another, and Shupu rushed towards Glenn, resisting the fireballs and meteors.

"Give the energy to my darling and clear a path for my cavalry boys first!" said Semir.

The barrier was removed, and the monster had no obstacles in front of it, so it shouted and moved forward.

Several main guns on the fortress emitted huge amounts of heat, and then several intersecting rays of light swept across the battlefield, quickly clearing a gap in the monster army.

The soldiers on the outermost edge of the trenches climbed out and fought hard to widen the gap.
The twelve hundred knights who had been ready for the attack took a sprint and accelerated, and a rumbling sound was heard.

The power of an individual is insignificant on the battlefield, but when it increases to a certain number, it will cause a qualitative change.

Yumi led the cavalry to charge and attack continuously, dividing the enemy. There were fewer and fewer people around him, but he could not stop. A knight who stopped charging was just a tin can waiting to be opened.

He had no time to care about the chaotic magic in the sky. He had only one goal: forward! forward! forward!

Soon, the view in front of me became clear, and a gate carved with black patterns was right in front of me.

Yumi was delighted, and then saw a hand reaching out from the portal. With a slight wave of the hand, several knights near the portal died like twisted pretzels.

"Finally I've lured you turtles out!"
