Chapter 1212: Shocked
In the Human Coalition Army headquarters, the coalition army commander, Lex the Great, frowned tightly. The facial expressions of the rest of the generals were not very pleasant too. Today was the fourth day that the Human Coalition Army entered the Demon Realm, but they hadn’t even encountered a real battle.
On the first day, the Human Coalition Army was harassed and attacked by demons at night. They heroically repelled the demons’ army and paid a corresponding price.
On the second day, the Human Coalition Army still did not encounter the main force of the demons head-on, but they accidentally entered the magic dark mine while marching. These magic dark mines were different from the human world. With the help of the cover of the dark element environment, the fluctuations were extremely small, so it was difficult to be detected. However, the power of the explosion was extremely amazing, causing heavy casualties to the front army. The army was forced to slow down. The magicians were in front to detect and clear the mines. However, at this moment, the fangs of the demon magic guns finally revealed themselves. The first batch of magicians fell under the long-range sniper almost without exception. The range and accuracy were simply outrageous. Even the heavy armor infantry protecting the magician did not see it coming. The speed of the second batch of magicians clearing the dark mine under heavy protection dropped significantly. In the evening, the Human Coalition Army was harassed again. They were vigilant all night. This time, the magicians already had experience in dealing with this kind of large-scale [Dark Sky]. However, after a night of harassment, there was no attack. The magicians consumed a lot of magic power and were exhausted.
On the third day, they still didn’t meet a single enemy. Even the civilian houses that they passed were all vacant, which was unexpected. The Human Coalition Army felt weird and aggrieved because they couldn’t even touch the enemy. At night, it was the same harassing night attack tactics, confusing fake and real. When the magicians were almost unable to disperse [Dark Sky], those desperate demons army finally reappeared in [Dark Sky]. The suicidal demon bombs cost the Human Coalition Army more than double again.
In the past 3 days, the demons had left the Human Coalition Army with the impression of being as cunning as a fox and being crazy and desperate, but they were always just sneak attacks and harassment. There was no real encounter.
Finally, an intel reached the Human Coalition Army headquarters.
“Urgent report from the front. We found the demon’s main army of about 100,000 people!”
“Finally appear?” Oswain, a general of the Human Coalition Army, shook his fist back. “These cunning demons!”
“Finally it’s our turn to fight back!”
“Your Majesty Lex, order an all-out attack and devour these 100,000 people!”
Lex the Great’s frown did not ease. He said in a deep voice, “There is something wrong in these demons.”
Sandro nodded, “I also have this feeling. According to previous wars, most demons invaded our land on their own initiative with powerful momentum and absolute power. It was a crushing attack posture all the way. Even if there were humans taking the initiative to attack the Demon Realm, what they encountered was a berserk fierce head-on attack. Had there ever been such a situation?”
“Could it be that something happened with the demons’ internally? And this time the gate of the 2 worlds appeared more than 100 years earlier. The demons couldn’t prepare in time, so they could only use this kind of trick to delay it?”
“No.” Princess Philly shook her head, “The news of the 3 empires of the Demon Realm forming an alliance has long been confirmed. More than one trainer who returned from the Demon Realm has confirmed this. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the degree of stability of the alliance this time is far higher than that of ordinary covenants. I believe that the young general has heard of the mysterious person who married the 3 empresses, so I think the chance of the enemy’s internal strife is almost 0. We can’t place our hopes on it. On the contrary, it is even more necessary to beware of the enemy’s tricks.”
“Obviously, the demons used tactics and traps to weaken our combat power previously. Now they finally want to use true strength to kill our vanguard forces. This battle must not only be fought, but it must also be won.” Oswain’s conclusion was approved by many people.
“Our follow-up troops have kept their distance for effective reinforcements. If we are determined to fight, we can gather in the shortest time to form a large-scale formation. The combat power of our individual soldiers may be inferior to that of demons, but don’t forget, we have the biggest advantage of the formation magic array. This enables our army to form a powerful group, which can exert the strongest power in this kind of frontal large-scale war. This is something that demons do not have. Even if demons have the environmental advantage, we will not lose the slightest in a head-on battle.”
Sandro nodded slowly, “Anyway, since the enemy’s regular army has appeared, we can’t avoid fighting. In the past few days, the soldiers’ morale has been low due to the enemy’s harassment. At the same time, they have been holding their horses. Now it is an ideal opportunity to release stress and show our might.”
Lex considered for a moment before he finally made a decision to quickly gather the large forces in the Demon Realm and attack the main demons with all their strength.
Unexpectedly, not long after this order was issued, 2 urgent battle reports came one after another.
The first battle report – When the human army was gathering to prepare for the battle, the main force of the demons suddenly disappeared!
Everyone was stunned.
How could it suddenly disappear? It is 100,000 people!
Just when we were about to fight a tough battle with all our strength, the enemy retreated again? Are these still brave and brutal demons? Could it be that this army is made up of cowardly dark goblins?
The second battle report – A large number of undead appeared in the army! Many were popping out of the ground!
This battle report made people involuntarily think of the scene of pairs of rotten hands sticking out from the ground, which made people shudder.
“So that’s what they are planning!” Oswain suddenly realized, “That area must be a cemetery or a battlefield. The enemy deliberately led us there to consume our troop with the undead army! Then the hidden main force will seize the timing to launch a real attack! No doubt they are cunning demons!”
The rest of the generals understood one after another. Even Princess Philly couldn’t help but nod.
“Your Majesty Lex, I suggest sending the troops behind to reinforce immediately. At the same time, continue to increase troops to the ‘door’ to maintain the continuity of the troops. As long as our absolute strength is sufficient, this conspiracy cannot shake us at all!
Lex the Great glanced at Sandro. The number one general of the Blue Glory Empire seemed to be thinking about something, and he did not echo Oswain’s opinion like the others.
When Lex the Great’s eyes fell on the distribution of troops on the sand table, he was suddenly startled.
“No more reinforcement!” Sandro’s voice sounded.
“Not only can’t we increase troops, but we need to retreat immediately!” Lex the Great and Sandro looked at each other and reached a consensus, “The enemy is not consuming our troops, but luring us to send more troops! This is a trap! And it’s a trap with a big appetite!”
“Yes, the previous harassments and sneak attacks, including the current undead attack, are actually confusing us!” Sandro walked up to the sand table, “With our current formation, if we send more troops and go deeper, the battle formation will be further expanded. At that time, they only need to cut off a few vital parts and pinch attack us, then our entire army will be wiped out!”
“Did General Sandro overestimate the ability of demons?” Although Oswain felt that Sandro’s analysis was reasonable, he was inevitably dissatisfied as his own point of view was completely overturned.
“I just didn’t underestimate the enemy.” Sandro shook his head, “I have a hunch that demons are more powerful than we imagined.”
Lex the Great made a firm decision, “Order Riley to prepare for the retreat. At the same time let the army behind make the feint of reinforcements and prepare to connect with the front line and defend against the enemy. We have already stepped into the trap with 1 foot. The demons won’t let us take our foot back so easily.”
Sandro nodded, “Losses are inevitable, but it’s just the beginning of the war.”
For the entire chess game, this was indeed just a small mistake. It was still very early before the real victory or defeat, but for the ‘chess piece’, this kind of mistake was a destructive disaster that withdrew them from the chessboard.
The Demon Coalition Army headquarters received the news of the Human Coalition Army’s emergency retreat. Commander Gerant sighed, “It seems that the other party is more cautious than expected. My appetite is still too big. This time, I can’t dispatch those death row cannon fodder squad. Pass my order, the main force of each department will attack in an all-round way, so that all the humans who enter the Demon Realm will turn into corpses in the Blood Claw Estate!”
Nightmare Volcano.
The orcs engraved huge imprints on the ground one after another. The cloaked half-handsome man and half-monster was holding a long stick of dead wood as he walked unsteadily on each of the imprints.
Wherever he passed by, those imprints emitted a faint light, then they sank into the rock as if they had never existed before.
“Sir.” Beamon Orc King Fugger gave a deep bow to the man in the cloak, “The imprints that sir ordered has been completed.”
Fugger used to be the strongest Orc King in the Nightmare Wilderness. However, a few years ago, the orcs were suddenly wiped out by the Divinity Temple Knight regiment of the Holy Church and the joint army sent by various countries. No tribe was spared. If it wasn’t for someone tipping the news to cover him and lead some orcs to evacuate early, the bloodline of the orc tribe would have been cut off.
At that time, after the mysterious person who tipped off the news helped the orcs settle on an island, he left half of the badge and floated away. When this strange man came with the other half of the badge and said his name, only then Fugger knew that the person behind the scene who helped the orc tribe escape the disaster was actually…
Whether it was to repay the kindness or the terrifying strength shown by this person, Fugger could not refuse the request of this man. He led a group of elites to set foot on the land of the Nightmare Wilderness again. They also made all kinds of strange arrangements according to the requirements of the man in the cloak.
“En.” The man in the cloak looked around and nodded, “Thank you for the hard work.”
“It’s my duty, sir.” Fugger was usually rebellious and arrogant, but he was extremely humble in front of this person, “Does sir has any other orders?”
“You can go now…” The man in the cloak looked at the Nightmare Volcano in the distance and raised the dead wood staff in his hand. The 2 badges merged into one, then it turned into a green leaf and flew toward Fugger, ” Take this.”
Fugger held the leaf-shaped badge in his hand as his expression became uncertain, “Sir…”
“Say no more,” The man in the cloak waved his hand, “If you want the orc tribe bloodline to continue, this is the only hope. One last reminder. Your time is running out.”
Fugger didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He bowed and left Nightmare Volcano with his people.
“Time…” The man in the cloak didn’t look at the orcs who were leaving, but he just looked up at the sky. If someone was in front of him, he would have a strange feeling that this person who raised his head seemed to be ‘looking down’ at the sky as he let out a long sigh.
“Ou… our time is running out.”
