Chapter 244: Demon Northern Legion
St. Louis is a large city in eastern Missouri and the 18th largest urban area in the United States. Located on the banks of the middle reaches of the Mississippi River, the longest in the United States, in the center of the continental United States, and almost in the geometric center of the United States, the www.biquge.info is strategically important. The area was a French colony, and the city was named after the French king. The economic development of the United States was driven from the Atlantic coast of the east to the vast and desolate areas of the west, and the flow of people and goods from European colonists and later to the west was constantly flowing from here, and American geographers often called this the gateway to the west. Located in the heart of the city, the St. Louis Arc Arch, an inverted catenary and a symbol of America's westward expansion, is a majestic stainless steel parabolic structure that stands 192 meters tall and was built in just two years after construction began in 1964. There is a cable car at the bottom of the arch that leads to the top floor.
Of course, the demons in this important strategic place will not give up easily, except for the demon troops attacking from Louisiana to Mississippi, the demon army here has the largest number of people, and the commander of the demon army here is the most prestigious general Hannibal under Beelzebub, this Phoenician hero naturally came to the side of their god Beelzebub after the entire Phoenician civilization was destroyed by Rome, and led the army of resentful spirits transformed by the Phoenicians to unswervingly take revenge on the Holy See as their own responsibility, so, This important strategic point was under the full command of the attack by the battle-hardened man, but the attack did not go as smoothly as they had imagined at first.
"Where are our troops attacking?" Hannibal, the king of resentful spirits, who exuded an icy aura, looked at the landmark of St. Louis from a distance and asked, originally he thought that with the army he led, he could take the city before dark, but unfortunately the war did not go as smoothly as he believed.
"There's not much progress on the Chesterfield front, my lord," the subordinate reported, knowing that this report would not satisfy the King of Wraiths.
A wave of cold energy mixed with endless resentment blasted this demon out of the tent, because he was betrayed by his own people before his death, the temper of this Carthaginian hero after transforming into a resentful spirit was not very good, although he did not kill him with a single blow, but this cold power was enough for him to drink a pot, "Fool, the intelligence shows that the US army does not have any troops stationed here, can't you even deal with those policemen with pistols, even the stupid sheep under the command of Azazler can successfully capture most of the Mississippi, You can't even take Missouri, the last and most important city, what do I want you to do?! Hannibal's eyes burned with blue flames, the second half of the sentence was the real reason for his anger, because he died in a conspiracy rather than a frontal battle, the Wraith King was quite dismissive of the other demon commanders, and he was proud not to allow his troops to be surpassed by any other army, although this paranoia sometimes made his demon officers miserable.
Spat out a mouthful of blood, the unlucky demon replied, "My lord, it's not that we didn't do our best, it's just that the enemy is a little too strong this time. “
Hannibal's eyes narrowed, he didn't listen to anything, he could still listen calmly to the information related to the war situation, "Say, what the hell is going on." ”
The demon hurriedly stood up and reported the situation to the King of Wraiths.
At the beginning, the attack of the demon army was as smooth as ever, after forming the combined legion, the demon army never encountered an opponent, and no amount of American troops could only stop them for a while, but they could never let their footsteps stop, and after getting the promise of General Hannibal to take the city of St. Louis and take a short rest, the demons were even more motivated.
The entire force continued to move forward in formation, with heavily armed minotaurs and sheep-headed demons advancing in front, centaur troops roaming on both sides for cover, gargoyles and demonic locusts on standby in the rear, waiting for orders to fly to any corner of the battlefield, and the Wraith troops were still not mobilized due to the tight time to attack during the day.
The Minotaur marched through the street with heavy steps, and the relatively agile Sheep-headed Demon checked in the nearby houses to see if there were any survivors who could get some information, the whole army had already advanced a long way, but not a single human had yet encountered it. The demons didn't feel strange, they had encountered this situation more than once, and in the face of the demon's powerful army, they had not seen the entire city fleeing, but it was the first time they had seen a city as big as St. Louis retreat so completely.
The two sheep-headed demons walked through the room, opening one door after another, repeating the boring inspection work, one of the sheep-headed demons brightened up and entered a room, and his companion thought he had found something, and immediately followed him, and as soon as he walked in, he almost crooked his nose in anger, and the guy before opened a box of cookies from the table, and stuffed expired cookies into his mouth with a big gulp.
"Stupid, are you starving like this, you're a dead man, do something serious."
The sheep-headed demon kept stuffing the biscuits, and muttered: "Serious business, what else can we do, we have all advanced 10 miles, no one has seen it, it is obvious that those humans have escaped, as for the shame, hmph, what did the resentful spirit king say In order to ensure combat effectiveness, it is forbidden to use human cooks, damn, how many days have we not eaten a serious meal, can the thing that our demons boil themselves call rice?" Of course, their resentful spirits don't matter, they don't need to eat, it's enough to come out at night and absorb some soul essence. ”
His companion sighed, obviously persuaded by his words, "Don't mention it, who let us be incorporated into the Northern Legion, I heard that the human chefs of the Southern Legion commanded by Spino are really envious of them, by the way, you can leave some for me, don't eat them all." With that, he hurriedly reached over and grabbed a handful of biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Damn the wraiths, they should be separated from us lifeforms, damn, why let this guy be the commander, even the hard-working minotaurs have started to complain these days."
"Forget it, didn't General Hannibal promise that we can have a good rest after taking this city, we have to find a few humans who are good cooks, I love the food they make."
"Mmmm, I'll go back and find a few minotaurs together, this time we have to protect these humans, last time I asked the team next to me to snatch the Chinese cook we found."
"Hey, what is that on the street in front of you? Is it human? A sheep-headed demon passed by the window, and saw several tall black figures standing on the street in the distance, and he hurriedly called his companion, and the two of them came to the window together to look at it.
