This devil baron regretted it. He would have been better off hiding within the legion from the start.
Charles easily killed the devil baron who had strayed from the legion.
The devil legion below fell into despair at the sight.
But what truly drove them to despair had only just begun.
Charles's wizard tower unleashed its full firepower, and one powerful spell after another rained down from the sky like droplets of rain.
Charles did not even use fourth-circle spells.
The damage from fourth-circle spells was too great. With one careless strike, these devils might be reduced to nothing at all.
In contrast, third-circle spells, enhanced by the wizard tower, had just the right amount of power.
Third-circle spells rained down amid the devils' formations.
They blasted them into utter disarray.
Many devils were severely wounded outright, their formations scattered by the explosions.
Charles was not merely slaughtering these devils. He was also creating opportunities for the demons under his command to kill, reducing their losses.
After all, killing the soldiers in these devil legions no longer did much for Charles's current strength.
But for Intermediate Demons, killing a few more devils might allow them to advance into Greater Demons.
For Charles now, even if all the Intermediate Demons in the wizard tower died, it would still be worthwhile if he could gain another two or three thousand Greater Demons.
After all, Greater Demons and Intermediate Demons stood worlds apart in combat strength.
A few thousand additional Greater Demons could play an enormous role in the battle to defend the city.
As for Intermediate Demons, there was no need to worry. There were still plenty in the fortress, and during fierce battles, Lesser Demons would advance as well.
The battle below remained intense.
But the demons clearly held the advantage.
