When the recruits heard his words, they all showed expressions of fear, and their psychological qualities were obviously not in place, which is why Tracy would offer to conduct actual combat training.

As a veteran of the last demonic disaster, Cliffor didn't feel anything special, he looked at the recruits around him and sneered: "Are demons really scary, in fact, people are sometimes more terrible than demons, especially when they are hungry." ”

Henry knew what he was trying to say, whenever a demon came, it always brought countless disasters, such as plague and famine.

One of the most terrible was the famine, where demons wandered outside the cities and villages, no one dared to farm, caravans did not dare to move, and the food was quickly consumed, and hunger followed.

Thirty years ago, at the height of the plague, more than 20,000 people starved to death in the city of plenty, and all the rats in the city were eaten, and eventually they even began to eat people.

It was a time that I couldn't recall, a complete dark age, with no light in sight.

Fortunately, this time they didn't have to go through that kind of terrible thing, the city of plenty had stored a full 200,000 tons of grain, filled more than 80 granaries, and stocked more than 30 warehouses of all kinds of dried vegetables and jerky.

This food is enough for the entire territory to feed for three or four years, and it is still being delivered to the city.

The territory has a good weather this year, and it can at least receive more than 100,000 tons of grain and vegetables, and they will not have to face such a terrible thing as starvation for three or five years.

Henry said with a little emotion: "Fortunately, Renard was prescient. ”

Tracy lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Every demonic invasion lasts a long time?"

Cliffor was reluctant to talk about these things, but he was a chatterbox, and he couldn't close it when he opened it: "That's right, the last demon disaster lasted for more than four years. ”

As the three of them talked, the scout team that had been released rode up with a little blood on their bodies, apparently encountering and fighting demons.

When they approached, the knight at the head replied, "Sir, four kilometers ahead is Maple Leaf Town. ”

Cliffor looked at the blood stains on the scout's body and saw that it was splattered, so he relieved himself and asked, "How's it going?"

The scout captain replied with a solemn face: "It's not optimistic, there are about two thousand low-level demons, there are also some medium-level demons, and there are only two high-level demons. ”

After all, Baron Jon's territory only has a population of more than 3,000 people, including more than 80 soldiers, and it is obviously unrealistic to resist the attacks of so many demons.

However, for their army, the demons in front of them were not enough to stuff their teeth.

As the crowd eagerly awaited the order to fight, Cliffor looked at Henry, apparently asking for his opinion.

The supreme commander of the army was Henry, and only he could give orders, and Cliffor, although dissatisfied with this, did not dare to openly disobey Heidi's orders.

However, just as Henry was about to give the battle mission, another team of scouts galloped in, and they were much more embarrassed than the previous ones, and some of them were even injured.

The leader of the scout team came closer, wiped the blood stains on his face, and said in a hurried tone: "Report to the chief, a large number of demons have been found two kilometers to the southeast. ”

Henry's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many?"

The scout captain thought for a while, and couldn't give a specific number: "About three or four hundred, all of them are medium demons, and there is only one high demon commander." ”

Hearing this, Cliver's face changed, the strength of the middle demon is equivalent to that of a middle and high-level martial artist, which means that this demon team already has the strength to compete with them.

Henry asked again, "In which direction are they going?"

The scout captain pointed to the east, "To the east." ”

The top brass of the army breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that the target of this demon army was not them, nor was it the Earldom of Meredith.

While breathing a sigh of relief, they quickly gathered around Henry and began to ramble on their opinions.

"Since the other party's target is not us, then we can't make contact with this demon army, otherwise the casualties will be great. "That's right, even if we can win in the end, we will have to reduce at least two hundred to three hundred personnel. ”“......”

Although Cliffor really wanted to fight the demons a few times, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of the losses he might have to bear, after all, every Black Cavalry knight was his heart.

So he also raised objections: "If you want to annihilate this demon army, you must return to the territory to ask for help, and at least three cavalry squadrons must be transferred." ”

Henry frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to go back." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately lost their minds: "What should I do then?"

Henry took a deep breath: "Without contact with them, let's hurry up and head to Maple Town." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all acquiesced to this approach, although they were unwilling, but they were helpless.

With such a small number of people under his command, it is difficult to even confront this demon head-on.

After the order was given, the team moved again, and at a much faster pace.

Henry looked at the map halfway, then marked the red circle where the demon legion was found, and then drew a circle with a radius of ten centimeters around this circle, and found that he was far from touching the county of Meredith.

He relieved himself slightly: "This demon army should not touch our territory. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Cliffor clenched his fists: "That's good, otherwise it's a fish to the death, and I will destroy them." ”

Immediately afterward, Henry seemed to have noticed something interesting: "Hey, if my calculations are not wrong, it is possible that this demon army has entered the territory of the Chesterton family." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then burst into laughter, they had just beaten the Chesterton family last year, and now they have not eased up, and they have to face the baptism of demons again, this is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

If you don't say that you have to be a man, God will have to accept you.

After laughing for a while, Henry began to lay out the battle plan.

The battle against demons will not be too simple, and it will not be too complicated.

Normally, it would be easy to annihilate an army of low-level demons, just rush over and kill.

However, in order to minimize casualties and train the army's ability to coordinate and cooperate, it is not possible to rush forward recklessly and slash as if the peasants were fighting.

Henry said: "After the cavalry arrives, they will charge directly to open the way into Maple Town, and the infantry will not be in love with the battle, but will go directly into the city, what we have to do is to support, not to fight the demons." ”

Everyone nodded in understanding, and even Cliffor said he was determined to carry out the order.

I am helping others to fight, not defending my own territory, there is no need to work too hard, if it weren't for the fact that this Baron Jon is a little related to Miss Heidi, they wouldn't have bothered to come.
